I have a confession. For the past two and a half years I have not bought any new clothes. Well, at least nothing fashionable. My current wardrobe consists of tired t-shirts, capris, jeans and sneakers that I've gotten used to wearing while chasing my son around the house. Sometimes I just don't see the point, because I usually end up with dirt, peanut butter, snot or just about any other icky substance smeared on my clothes by the end of the day.
With the holidays approaching, and with it a New Year, I am going to try and dress like I did before I had a kid. I've never been a fashionista, but I did like having tops, bottoms and shoes that matched and were clean. Thing is, I'm not quite sure what my style is anymore. When I see younger women walking around town in micro-minis and platform shoes it makes me cringe. I've grown accustomed to a certain level of comfort I'm not willing to give up entirely.
To gain some inspiration, I've been browsing Pinterest for ideas to fill my closet and find some trendy clothing for women that dresses up my casual style. Here's one I love:
I love this combo! The splash of blue-green really pops against the black and grey clothing.
For the Fall months, this red really stands out! I also love the cut of this coat which should compliment my petite frame. The extra height on the shoes also helps a short girl like me!
I think this style is the most "me." While it isn't very different from what I wear now, I like that just a few little touches – like a leather bag, a scarf and some bling – help make a relaxed outfit more fashionable and trendy.
So, can this stay-at-home-mom become a fashionista? Well, probably not. I really don't have it in my genes. However, I know I can dress up my current look and shed my frumpy mom persona for one that is a bit more stylish. What about you? How would you define your sense of style, and do you need a re-vamp too? Leave a comment!

You will find out about all the exciting stuff going on with the RSPB in the east of the UK. We cover our sites in the following counties: Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, and some of our great Lincolnshire ones. So if you are if you have never heard of the Strumpshaws and Snettishams or Stour Estuary or Sutton Fens here is you chance.
Blogger: Niki Williamson, Fenland Farmland Bird Adviser
Have you ever wondered why flowers make people smile? Many things that make us happy are things that promote our survival - a good square meal, a thirst-quenching drink on a sunny day.
But what about flowers? Sure they're nice to look at, but you can't really live off them, or use them to fight off predators. But I love walking to my front door through the colourful blooms alongside the garden path. And on those rare occasions when my fella brings me a bunch of flowers, my grin lasts all evening! So if we've evolved to feel happy about flowers, maybe they're more than just a pretty face.
Farmer Andrew Brodie obviously feels the same. He's managing nearly four hectares of nectar rich habitat on his Cambridgeshire farm, through a Higher Level Stewardship scheme.
The habitat consists of patches of flowering plants, chosen especially with nectar-feeding insects in mind. Clovers, Lucerne, Sainfoin, Black Medick and Birdsfoot Trefoil flower alongside each other, splashing the farm with colour.
But by planting the mix he is not only growing flowers, he's feeding bees, butterflies and beetles. In turn they're eating aphids which would otherwise be spreading disease in his crops. They're also pollinating crops like oilseed rape and beans – pollinating insects are thought to be worth £430 million annually to the UK farming industry. They're also producing lots of yummy caterpillars which Andrew's resident corn buntings, grey partridges and lapwings can feed to their chicks.
Andrew is not new to Stewardship, having been in the Entry Level Scheme since it began. He planted some of these patches back in 2005 and they are still going strong, thanks to his careful management. By cutting half the area in June he extends the flowering season, and by cutting the whole lot again in autumn he is continually removing nutrients from the system that would otherwise encourage grass to dominate the flowers.
With help from RSPB advisers, Andrew is stepping up for Nature. "It's crucial that modern farming goes hand in hand with environmental concerns," he says as we stroll through the flowers, surrounded by lazy buzzing. "We've got to look after our bugs, bees and birds so we can carry on ourselves."
Andrew Brodie loves Nature. And he's saying it with flowers.

Last Sunday was very much like most other Sunday mornings in our house. Alarm ringing out at 6am and a mad dash out of the house. Sandwiches made, energy drinks prepared, book packed, bike kit in the boot, sat nav programmed in and a big cup of tea for the journey! Ok, so perhaps it's not the calmest of ways to spend your Sunday morning, but I really love it. My other half, Mike, races his bike most weekends and I go along to watch; trying to be supportive and help where I can. Although this does mean incredibly early starts and no Sunday morning lie-in with the papers, it does have a few benefits.
As we drove along the A11, with Essex as our destination, the sky was a calm pale blue as if it too was anticipating the day ahead. It can be quite intoxicating, driving along an open, empty road. The rooks lined the edges of the fields, busying themselves with chitter chatter while a kestrel hovered overhead as if trying to hear the whispers beneath him. Suddenly, interrupting the lush green verges of Thetford Forest, stood a small, gentle muntjac deer, quietly snacking on grass and leaves. It's creamy brown coat and kind face was totally oblivious to the concrete junction it was approaching, let alone my cries of astonishment at how beautiful he was! There were three of them in total, lined up as if having an early morning quick snack before the day really kicked in, and they were simply gorgeous.
In the split second that we were both able to enjoy the sight, it left us thinking about how much nature can boost your spirits. In all it's simplicity and beauty, it can leave you totally captivated and after this extraordinary sighting, I was suddenly awake; my heart beating hard and goosebumps appearing on my arms!
In reality, nature and wildlife is hugely dependant on us, from feeding our garden birds to growing nectar-rich plants in our gardens. But my heart tells me the opposite. Surely we are more dependant on nature than it will ever be on us? From the air we breathe and the crops we grow, to the basic, fundamental wellbeing of us as humans; nature enriches our lives for the better.
These stunning deer may have only been in my vision for a mere few seconds, but they have made a lasting impression – I shouldn't ever take nature for granted. They put a smile on my face when I least expected it (more than not because it was 6am!) and I feel privileged to have seen them.
We would love to hear about your wildlife sightings at www.facebook.com/rspbintheeast

Being in charge of our wedding i-Tunes playlist was a joy but a big responsibility. You always remember wedding with dodgy music. I like a bit of cheese but not a fan of the chicken dance or pushing pineapples or shaking trees. As our wedding was next to the beach we had a lot of great oldies that were marine related. My lovely lady joined me with Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin, we had The Sea by Morcheeba, Underwater Love by Smoke City and even Octopus's Garden.
This got me thinking if I was to make a RSPB playlist what little gems could I have on there? So here is an eclectic mix for starters:
I would even have KISS in there not because of any bird or wildlife related pun but because there are many candidates out there in the bird world that could even be considered for the masked rocking crew.
If you want something a little more sedate and relaxing than KISS then check out Kate Doubleday's Hide Tour across our sites in the East. Tickets are selling fast so get in there quick this week for the following gigs: 20 July at Frampton Marsh, 21 July at Titchwell Marsh and 22 July at Minsmere.

If you and your DH/SO were negotiating a Sheldon Cooper style relationship agreement...
What would you put in? What would your DH/SO put in?
I would insist on DH trying at least one new food a month. I get tired of going to the same old restaurants because he's so set against trying anything new.
I'm sure he'd want to set a required number of sexual experiences per week. What that number might be, I'm almost afraid to guess.
None, someone who needs a relationship agreement is waaaaay to high maintenance for me. I doubt we'd be together long enough to need one. =P
Quoting Mamabear010:

Thermostat at 72. Don't touch it.
He'd make me be more open and adventurous sexually. And keep my butt on my side of the bed at night, instead of on him making him all sweaty.
I'd make the rule that he can only spend his budgeted amount--not just debiting more money out when his runs out. And that he has to snuggle my butt every night! lol!
Quoting haydsmom2007:
I have no idea what that means
lmao you sound like my dad
Quoting Mommy2justone:
Thermostat at 72. Don't touch it.
If you snore, do not react when I put a pillow over your head.
I am not liable for placing a pillow over your face when you do snore.
There are 2 bodily functions allowed in the bedroom.
1) Sleep
2) Sex.
Outside of that remit, the functions shall be contained in the bathroom.
Waving your penis around like a windmill does not constitute foreplay
Nor does 'shake your money maker'
Nor does trying to move like Magic Mike when you have belly that wiggles more than a Turkish Belly dancer
Nor does twiddling with my nipples as if you are tuning in a radio to catch the weather forecast in Tokyo
Contract can be amended at any time by me.

And all this is without Kaman, when he comes back, I think this team'll struggle since Zach and Camby have created such great chemistry together, at least that is how they play. I know we are 7.5 games out of the 8th seed, but I can't give up on it. Hell, were 8.5 games out of the 3rd seed. We have a pretty cupcake schedule coming up with @ OKC/@ Chicago/@ Indiana/@ Milwaukee and vs Toronto. We should take 4 of those, to at least get us up to 10-18, and with Dallas/Sac/Phila left to end the year, if we can get to 12-19, if not better, we could have a huge turnaround.
Oh yeah, it was funny when the scoreboard and PA had the electric problem and the entire Staples Center was still as loud with the fans.
Actually was 175 dollar seats lol. Also when Kaman comes back I want to slowly ease him into the rotation, Dunleavy better bring him off the bench and start him out with Paul Davis minutes and give him at the most 15 minutes first game then 20 and then slowly increase it as he gels back into things. Also when Ricky comes back, he better work on that defense because as bad as Collins is, hes still 10x the defender Ricky is.

AA member Leslie Mitchell who was an ex-con had his home raided and he had eight small marijuana plants, cocaine, steroid pills, liquid steroids, drug paraphernalia, $3,590 in cash, a .22 caliber handgun and a magazine containing seven rounds of ammunition. He had been on probation for having 16 ounces of heroin! He only served 9 months in jail.
VINELAND — An ex-con enrolled in the state's intensive supervision program (ISP) who was arrested March 7 on drug and weapons charges had been visited just four days earlier by an ISP officer, a state judiciary spokeswoman said.
Leslie H. Mitchell, 43, was charged with multiple counts of drug possession and distribution offenses, as well as violation of parole after police made the discovery March 7. He is accused of growing marijuana, possessing a handgun and selling cocaine and two types of steroids.
"The last visit was March 3," said Tamara Kendig, spokeswoman for the New Jersey State Judiciary, which runs the intensive supervision program.
"This person had reported to the ISP office on March 5, two days before the arrest. An officer was scheduled to visit the home later in the evening on March 7. He had already observed the arrest though and so did not go through with the visit." Mitchell was allowed into the ISP on Jan. 27, 2011. He had originally been imprisoned on May 11, 2010, after he was convicted of possession of more than five ounces of heroin. Captain Thomas Ulrich of the Vineland Police Department said he had been caught with 16-ounces of the substance.
He could have received a maximum sentence of eight years, but was released after less than nine months in prison.
ISP is a program in which convicts are released early from prison and are allowed to stay out so long as they follow a set of guidelines.
"Generally speaking, the guidelines are the same," said Kendig. "You're required to maintain employment, and he was employed. Curfews are imposed, although the curfew can change. Depending on whether someone's compliant, as you move along they may change your curfew a little bit. You're required to pay outstanding fines."
She added that Mitchell did have one violation during his release for possession of alcohol in April 2011.
"He was required to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and had been in attendance," she said.
He also had paid $4,380 out of $4,630 in fines that he owed.
When police executed a warrant and raided Mitchell's apartment, he had eight small marijuana plants, cocaine, steroid pills, liquid steroids, drug paraphernalia, $3,590 in cash, a .22 caliber handgun and a magazine containing seven rounds of ammunition.
The ATF is tracing the weapon.
Mitchell was lodged in the Cumberland County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail as well as a no-bail warrant for violating his parole.

It seems like Google is taking some action to deal with Adsense publishers who got their account suspended or disabled. Usually it is a death penalty permanently when publishers are informed that their Google Adsense is ban. There is very little hope or no chance at all to regain account. Thus publishers are warned not to push their luck by trying to outsmart Google Adsense. But still many people are willing to take the risk when it comes to making money online. Most of them did not actually trying to beat the system but rather walking on the border line of violating Google's policies trying to maximize earnings. As there are so many Google Adsense publishers around the world, sometimes good publishers might get their account disable accidentally. This is why we often heard people complaining their Google Adsense account getting ban without any clue or reason. According to the latest blog post title "Working better together: Protecting against invalid activity" from Google Inside Adsense Blog, Google is making some changes trying to fix things. Here is the list of changes posted in the blog post:
- We are considering tenure more actively when responding to detected invalid activity. For example, some trusted publishers will now have their accounts suspended instead of terminated, and over time we hope to work directly with more publishers to resolve invalid traffic issues without needing to disable the account at all. (As always, we'll continue to credit advertisers for any invalid activity.)
- We've given publishers tools to submit more informative appeals via a new form, which may help resolve issues more quickly.
- We're providing more details on invalid activity's causes. If we've detected a violation of our policies you'll receive an email and a notification to your account with further information and instructions. And you can read all about the causes of invalid activity at our Ad Traffic Quality Resource Center, which is now available in most languages supported by AdSense, such as German, French, Polish and Arabic.
- Whether you're looking for a refresher or just creating your first ad unit, you can review the do's and don'ts of ad traffic in our expanded AdSense Academy.
- In order to help publishers avoid common pitfalls, we're kicking off a video series that explains why some of our policies exist and how you can make sure you're working with them. Our first looks specifically at invalid traffic.
Honestly, I still have doubts as Google has enough manpower to cover all the work or suggestion. But at least they are taking action trying to make some changes.
P/S: How do we become a trusted publisher? If we are making less than $100 per month via Google Adsense, will Google be interested in looking into our account seriously if we experiencing account ban issue? Well, I suppose it is still too early to tell if these changes will actually help publishers. We just have to wait and see. By the way, this does not mean you can try to push your luck further. It is still better to play safe. If you are caught within account ban issue, the time and effort spend on dealing with Google will definitely affect your work online.

One of my first jobs after college was working at a Children's Theater. My sister and I auditioned together by singing "Our House" by Crosby Stills and Nash in two-part harmony. We were asked a series of questions and we were cast in their new show, "Bugs and Other Insects" that was to be performed on weekends at the museum and tour through the Public Schools during the week.
As rehearsals began, I realized my sister was cast in every scene as "the boy" or "the girl" which basically required her to wear a baseball cap backwards. I, on the other hand, had to wear cumbersome costumes as I played a cockroach, an ant and a bumblebee. The cockroach costume was particularly elaborate requiring me to wear brown tights, a huge vinyl shell on my back, six giant legs strapped to my stomach and a beanie that resembled a brown yarmulke with two long antennae pointing out of the top.
Every scene was pretty much the same. The boy or girl, meaning my sister, would go up to the bug, meaning me, and ask questions. I can still see my sister wide-eyed and sincere as I stood dressed as a giant cockroach singing a song about being an exoskeleton.
Since I had taken theater in college, I found it important to implement what I had learned and gave each bug I played a character and elaborate history. For the cockroach I imagined him like Frank Sinatra singing to his brat pack. I held a microphone and swayed back and forth pretending I was in a powder blue tuxedo and not an itchy brown costume as I sang as loud as I could:
"You feel with your hands and I feel with my antennae
You smell with your nose and I smell with my mouth"
Every time I started singing, my sister's sincere face would suddenly contort as she tried to repress laughter.
"You hear with your ears and I hear with my knees," I sang, my voice cracking as I started laughing again, which would make my sister get hysterical too. We have always been this way, cursed with church giggles everywhere from funerals to well, church.
At first, the director of the show was patient. He let my sister and I try to collect ourselves over and over and begin again. My sister took long, deep breaths and fanned her face but as soon as I started singing, we would lose it all over again.
By our fourth rehearsal, I laughed so hard I was sure I was going to pee in my costume. I ran out of the rehearsal toward the bathroom, removing my shell as I ran, the urge to urinate becoming more powerful as I neared the door. Why is that? I wondered my hand almost on the knob when I heard a familiar voice, "Marian. Marian!"
I turned and stood frozen in shock when I saw Damon, my first boyfriend standing in the hall in front of an open door where a meeting was obviously in progress. A group of people sitting around a conference desk were staring out at me, my human legs crossed, my cockroach legs stretching practically across the hall.
"Damon!" I said in shock, embarrassed and flooded with a thousand memories of my first love from high school. We met in my freshman year at the School of Performing Arts and I can still remember the flutter in my stomach when he would approach me in band, his saxophone draped around his neck. We dated for over three years and we were known as "the couple", always hand in hand, always together.
I had heard from my mother that he married one of my friends and moved to Staten Island. He had had a child and the marriage ended. He had gone through a difficult divorce but landed a good job at a museum, the museum I happen to be performing in.
"What are you doing here?" he asked smiling as I tried to straighten my beanie.
"Well, I'm a roach," I said laughing nervously. "I'm in a show."
"That costume is hilarious!" he said smiling. He was still strikingly handsome with a long straight nose and a sideways smile.
"Umm…I really need to pee…." I said stupidly, desperate to get away. Even though I had fallen in love with someone else, a man I would later marry, I often thought nostalgically about Damon. He took me to see Jazz all over Manhattan and we slept on his roof in his Tribeca loft on hot summer nights. He did graffiti and played Tenor sax and loved Fellini movies. It was the Manhattan of Woody Allen movies and I loved every second of it.
"Sure. I'm in a meeting now anyway. I just had to see if I saw what I thought I saw…my ex running through the halls of my job in a roach costume."
"Happens all the time," I said laughing nervously. .
"Great to see you Marian," he said hugging me awkwardly smashing the legs protruding from my stomach.
By the time, I made it back to the rehearsal room, the director informed me that he and my sister had decided that she should leave the show.
"I can't be on stage with you," she said shaking her head.
I couldn't help feeling disappointed but I knew it was true. When it came to keeping it together, we sucked. I had imagined my sister and I performing in schools all over the city together maybe even starting our own children's theater but that was not to be. I had imagined too, the moment I would see Damon again. I would be wearing my favorite jeans my hair would look perfect and I would be holding Dave's hand the way I often did.
I never imagined standing in a dingy hall, dressed as a cockroach, my shell half off, but life rarely happens the way we see it in our minds.
I saw Damon once more, a few years later. I had married Dave by then and we had recently given birth to a beautiful boy. Dave and I drove out often from Park Slope to visit my parents on Staten Island. It was a wet, cold weekend and I pulled my thin coat around Aidan who was asleep in the Bjorn on my chest. I hadn't showered in days. I was exhausted and happy. We climbed up the back porch steps and into the kitchen where Damon was standing shirtless, sanding my parents cabinets.
"Hey Marian!" He said turning, his muscled torso just as I had remembered.
"Hey." I said nervously. I introduced him to Dave. They chatted for a while as I proceeded upstairs to put Aidan in his crib and scold my parents for not telling me they hired my ex boyfriend to redo their cabinets.
Dave was glad to have finally met the first boyfriend I had talked about for years. He knew, as I did, that while Damon was my first dip into love, Dave was the deep ocean of it. He liked him.
Four years later Dave would be killed at the twin towers on our eighth wedding anniversary.
Damon sent me a condolence card, one he had made himself with roses on the front. On the inside it read, "Life never goes the way you plan,"

Zillow Follows StreetEasy Deal With Public Stock Offering
Zillow Inc. (Z), operator of the largest U.S. real-estate website, announced a $412 million share sale on the heels of its plans to buy New York startup StreetEasy.
Zillow and certain shareholders are selling 5.02 million shares at $82 apiece, the Seattle-based company said after the close of trading yesterday, a 3.2 percent discount to the stock's closing price. Earlier, Zillow said it's buying StreetEasy, a residential real-estate site with about 1.2 million monthly unique users, for $50 million in cash.
Facing increased competition from Trulia Inc. and other real-estate listings providers as the U.S. housing-market recovers, Zillow has been making acquisitions to maintain growth. Chief Executive Officer Spencer Rascoff said purchasing StreetEasy can help Zillow rapidly expand its presence in the largest U.S. market and use its sales team to bolster advertising and subscription revenue faster than StreetEasy could as an independent company.
Related: StreetEasy Buyout by Zillow Shows NYC's Addiction to Site
"You can't lay claim to being the No. 1 real-estate site nationwide without being No. 1 in New York," Rascoff said in an interview. "We've coveted StreetEasy for several years."
Zillow, which bought San Francisco-based HotPads in December for $16 million in cash, said it may use proceeds from the share offering to make deals that complement its business. It's the company's second stock sale since the initial public offering in 2011, and Citigroup Inc. (C) has led all three.
The shares fell 4.8 percent to $80.71 at the close in New York. The stock has almost tripled this year.
Joining Forces
Founded in 2006, closely-held StreetEasy has 34 employees and provides for-sale and for-rent listings through partnerships with the largest brokerages in New York. The deal is expected to close in the next few weeks. Zillow's 20 employees in New York will move into StreetEasy's office, Rascoff said.
Rascoff is betting on a rebound of the U.S. real-estate market and said his product is a "friend" to brokers who use Zillow to connect with clients.
"The real-estate market is very hot," Rascoff said on Bloomberg's "Surveillance" program with Tom Keene, Sara Eisen and Scarlet Fu. "The market is back and the parts of the country that have bounced back the most were the ones that were in the doldrums."
Rentals Market
Most of StreetEasy's employees are equity holders in the company, said Dawn Lyon, a spokeswoman for Seattle-based Zillow. StreetEasy had about $2.9 million of venture capital backing from investment firm FA Technology Ventures, she said.
The StreetEasy purchase "opens the door to potentially lead the New York City market," said James Cakmak, an analyst at Telsey Advisory Group in New York. "But they're paying $50 million dollars for about 1 million users, and that's a little expensive."
Zillow reported 61 million unique visitors at the end of July. The acquisition will allow Zillow to expand into the rentals market, and the company will probably use the stock offering to help pay for it, said Cakmak. His company doesn't have a rating system.

Mighty Little Mentor
With a pink-on-black color scheme and an avatar depicting a smiling librarian energetically pumping her fist into the air, Tiffany Whitehead's blog, Mighty Little Librarian, is a memorable online presence. More than that, however, the site embodies the middle school librarian's foremost goal: to be a strong leader who contributes to the school library community.
"As librarians, we have to be at the front of the pack," says Whitehead, a responsibility she wholly embraces, whether by putting together a committee to change her school district's learning management system or supporting Common Core by classifying materials by genre instead of by Dewey call number, thus increasing student reading, especially of nonfiction.
Every step of the way, she's leveraged her experiences to advise others, from blogging about "Ditching Dewey" and sharing practical applications on technology to serving as moderator of Follett's online community to hosting chats on TL Chat, a virtual gathering space for teacher librarians. "Though she is relatively young and new to the profession, her professional voice…is heard and respected on a national and international level," says Joyce Valenza, a leader in the field and School Library Journal's NeverEnding Search blogger.
"The role of the school librarian requires us to be leaders, staying on top of new trends in technology," says Whitehead. "We are better together."

NBA Betting: Heat carry win streak into busy week
Riding a seven-game winning streak and looking to catch the Indiana Pacers for first place in the Eastern Conference, LeBron James and the Miami Heat will hit the hardwood four times in the week ahead in NBA betting action at the sportsbooks.
The Heat will tip off their slate for the week on Monday night at home against the Charlotte Bobcats, but their first real test should come on Tuesday night when they play on the road against the Houston Rockets. Miami has only managed to cover the spread in four of their last 10 games against the Rockets.
James and company will then stay in Texas for a Thursday night road game against the San Antonio Spurs, with the Heat topping the Spurs 113-101 while covering a 3.5-point spread at home back on January 26. Totals bettors have seen the OVER pay out six times in the last 10 games between the Heat and the Spurs.
Miami will then head up to Chicago to face the Bulls on Sunday, with the Heat going 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against the Bulls dating back to last year's playoffs. When those teams last met on February 23 the Heat won 93-79 at home while covering a spread of 7.5 points.
The Bulls will begin their week on Monday night with a road game against the Brooklyn Nets on the NBA betting lines at the sportsbooks. The Nets are 0-3 both SU and ATS in their last three games against the Bulls, with the UNDER paying out in each of the last two games between the Eastern Conference teams.
On Tuesday night notable matchups include San Antonio at Cleveland, Golden State at Indiana, and the Clippers at Phoenix, with Los Angeles falling 107-88 at home to Phoenix as a 7.5-point home favorite on the NBA odds when those teams last met on December 30. The OVER has paid out just twice in the last 10 games between those two teams.
The Pacers are back on the floor again on Wednesday night as they take on the Bobcats in Charlotte, with Golden State at Boston, Memphis at Brooklyn, and Dallas looking to pick up a win in Denver. The Mavericks already lost twice to the Nuggets so far this season back in November, splitting those two contests 1-1 ATS.
An all-Los Angeles battle on Thursday night has the Clippers taking on the Lakers at the Staples Center, while the Oklahoma City Thunder play on the road against the Suns. Oklahoma City topped Phoenix 103-96 but didn't cover the 12.5-point spread on the NBA betting lines at the sportsbooks back on November 3.
Friday's most notable matchups are Brooklyn at Boston, Memphis at Chicago, Portland at Dallas, and Indiana at Houston, with the Clippers getting a visit from the Hawks on Saturday while the Spurs host the Magic.
To close out the week ahead on Sunday the Lakers will play host to Kevin Durant and the Thunder, with Portland at Houston, Indiana at Dallas, and Phoenix at Golden State. The Suns are 3-7 SU and 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games against the Warriors, winning 122-109 as a 4.5-point home favorite when they met on February 8.


text: I'm newer to videography and I had a question about audio. I would like to record my audio separately when filming because I have a camera with a sub-par mic on it. I know this is done all the time but my question is--during post-production--how does one sync up the audio to the video? Is there some trick to it or maybe an option in some of the more popular video editors like Producer, Final Cut, Vegas, etc.? I'm also concerned about video speed vs. audio speed; what if the two are not exactly the same? How would that be handled?

This book introduces an effective method for seeking local and nonlocal conservation laws and exact solutions for nonlinear two-dimensional equations which provide a basic model in describing internal waves in the ocean. The model consists of non-hydrostatic equations of motion which uses the Boussinesq approximation and linear stratification. The Lie group analysis is used for constructing non-trivial conservation laws and group invariant solutions. It is shown that nonlinear equations in question have remarkable property to be self-adjoint. This property is crucial for constructing physically relevant conservation laws for nonlinear internal waves in the ocean. The comparison with the previous analytic studies and experimental observations confirrms that the anisotropic nature of the wave motion allows to associate some of the obtained invariant solutions with uni-directional internal wave beams propagating through the medium. Analytic examples of the latitude-dependent invariant solutions associated with internal gravity wave beams are considered. The behavior of the invariant solutions near the critical latitude is investigated.

SMART's goal is to reduce Latham's impact on the environment, conserve natural resources and energy, and operate in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.
Latham believes that everyone within the firm can play a daily role in reducing environmental impact, while conserving natural resources, and managing firm operations in a sustainable manner.
The SMART Initiative has many areas of focus, including:
Individual offices at Latham have launched collaborative SMART initiatives that are often replicated in other locations. For example, the firm's San Diego office developed a "SMART Commuter" online portal through which employees can access a commuter board with carpool and mass transit options. Lawyers and professional staff join by simply clicking on the community they commute from and adding other details, allowing them to connect with other Latham commuters in their neighborhood to save money and protect the environment.
Latham's SMART initiative has raised awareness of environmental stewardship within the firm, and has begun to produce impressive results. For example, duplex (two-sided) printing has gained wide-spread acceptance, and has increased every month since the SMART initiative was launched.

For now, the reasons causing the murder are not known.
Seems that he died around 8 pm and left to die in the street as crow surrounded him.
Moreover, one onlooker tweeted several photos with him dead on the street and since then the pics were retweeted but the networking site managed to remove them.
Besides, the images describing his death were too hard to watch and may people asked website to remove them.
Mya's last tweet was: 'Finally the baby-shower today'.

Washington Times: 100 Iranian-American Scholars & Experts Call for Delisting of MEK
The US State Department Positioned on the Wrong Side of History
THE WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE Secretary Hillary Clinton! Who's to be held accountable for the death of my brother who was killed by Iraqi forces when they raided Ashraf in July 2009? Are you aware that we, in Camp Ashraf, are paying the price for the "goodwill gesture" the State Department made to the mullahs in labeling the MeK? We are paying the price with our bodies and souls, with the pierced hearts and blood soaked bodies of our beloved! Can you even begin to imagine how my heart was scarred when I stood before the dead body of my beloved brother and 46 other friends in Camp Ashraf? They had all trusted the U.S. government and had relinquished their weapons, as … [Read more...]
An Interview With Camp Ashraf Representative Shahriar Kia
TOP SECRET WRITERS Back in May of this year, I wrote an article about a massacre that took place at Camp Ashraf in Iraq. Camp Ashraf is the home of Iran dissidents that are currently unarmed and relatively harmless, however they have a long history of coordinating attacks against the Iran regime. Some people would call those attacks part of a long-term revolution against a terrible dictatorship, while others would call the efforts of the MEK a form of terrorism. There are even questions about the validity of historical accounts involving the involvement of the MEK in the death of soldiers and defense contractors in the 1970s, and the takeover of the U.S. embassy in 1979, where 52 … [Read more...]

President Obama; MEK Blacklisting Has Justified Murder Of My Daughter
OfficialWire.com It is exactly 5 months since my daughter Saba was murdered, along with 35 others in a massacre lead by Al-Maliki forces at the behest of Tehran. Global protest, sit-ins and campaigns are still ongoing. The bloodbath in the Camp along with tens of clandestine arrests and kidnappings of MEK families in Iran is on also ongoing, justified by the US State Department's blacklisting of MEK. Furthermore, in July 2010, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Colombia Circuit ordered that the State Department re-examine the decision to keep the PMOI in the FTO list.

Iranian opposition group not involved in terrorism
HOUSTON CHRONICLE In recent months, the Iranian government in Tehran has waged an unprecedented misinformation campaign against its main organized opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq, or MEK, in order to influence the pending decision by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding the status of the group. The U.S. Court of Appeals-D.C. Circuit struck down the decision in January 2009 by the secretary to maintain the MEK on the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) as flawed and in violation of the due process rights of the group and ordered a new review. After 14 months, there has been no decision. The court has made it very clear that unless there is substantial … [Read more...]
Ignore Iranian regime's lies on opposition group
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER While Secretary of State Hillary Clinton edges closer to deciding to remove the Iranian opposition group, the Mujahedeen e Khalq (MEK), from a U.S. list of banned organizations, the international media has been awash with Iranian regime propaganda attempting to demonize the group. In an attempt to counteract this tendentious public relations campaign, the group's supporters, including senior figures in U.S., British, and European political circles, have waged their own media campaign to counter the Iranian propaganda. Indeed, a recent independent assessment by a former senior State Department official debunked virtually all of the stale allegations that … [Read more...]
US Rally Calls for Protection of Iranian dissidents
THE HUFFINGTON POST In an effort to prevent a humanitarian disaster, thousands of Iranians held a rally outside the US State Department to call for the protection of 3,400 Iranians resident in Camp Ashraf, Iraq and an end to the US ban on Iran's largest opposition group, the Mujahedeen e Khalq (MEK). The issues are intertwined, because the residents of Camp Ashraf are supporters and members of the MEK. The rally was addressed by US politicians and former national security officials who called on Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to listen to the thousands of Iranians gathered and end the US ban on the MEK. Their call was made not only because an end to the ban would allow the Camp … [Read more...]
Clinton should de-list MEK as terrorist group
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." – John Adams. These words by one of the U.S. founding fathers should be the only criteria for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she reviews whether to remove the main Iranian resistance movement, Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK,) from the State Department's terror list. As Americans, Southern Californians should care about this because America's greatness, first and foremost, stems from its values and principles.

Iranian Media: How to Tell a Lie – A Big Lie?
StopFundamentalism.com The presence of a crowd of thousands of Iranian exiles in front of the State Department in Washington, calling on the Secretary of State Clinton to remove the main Iranian opposition movement, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), from the U.S. terror list, has certainly drawn considerable media attention during the past few days. But one article, coming from a peculiar Iranian daily can be considered as a satire piece rather than a news article.

Museum Exhibits and Displays
Museum Exhibits and Displays
Through new permanent and temporary displays and exhibits, CFB Esquimalt& Naval and Military Museum seeks to increase understanding and awareness of the contribution made by the Navy and Army on the west coast - to Canada, to our community, and to the wider world. The museum exhibits are constantly being updated, changed and improved to better serve this goal.
Recent permanent exhibits have focused on the Royal Canadian Navy and Merchant Navy's role in winning the Battle of the Atlantic, and the 100+ year history of Canadian service in submarines.
We have also hosted or created temporary exhibits that focus on the service of the Military Police, celebrate the contributions and achievements of First Nations people, and honour the commitment to country of a Canadian family whose members have served in the Armed Forces for three generations.
Upcoming permanent and temporary exhibits planned for the museum in 2015 include a 75th anniversary tribute to the Military Police, a display about the Canadian Forces Ammunition Depot at Rocky Point, and a permanent display on the Fleet Diving Unit (FDU). We also plan to further enhance the museum's existing fallout shelter display to include the Royal Canadian Navy's ships and technology in the Cold War era.
In addition, the museum is redesigning its introductory gallery, which deals with early explorers' interest in Esquimalt as a strategic base, and the establishment of a naval presence on Vancouver Island. Work on the gallery should be complete by spring 2015.

In the days leading up to the release of patch 1.29 for GTA Online which contained the long awaited Freemode Events DLC, alongside several dozen new missions, activities and also fixed countless long-surviving bugs, the foundations of GTA Online were completely reworked by wiping away loading screens, lobbies and menus.
While on the surface this does not seem like a significant change, if you couple it with the numerous back-stage adjustments and alterations Rockstar made to the game code in order to prepare GTA Online for the next wave of DLC, the upgrade is a groundbreaking one.
Preceding the announcement of what 1.29 will contain exactly, the GTA community went overboard with the rumors and speculation (because of course it did), and invented and/or "found" several new features that the game will be getting with the new update. One such rumored feature was the addition of plastic surgery clinics where you could change the gender of your GTA Online character for a rather large sum of GTA $.
Now, as we all know by now, there is no such feature in Freemode Events. However, as with most rumors and fabrications, it did have some basis in reality, as a form of a gender swapping system has been implemented in GTA Online. It just isn't an in-game feature with an in-game store you visit with your character.
Instead all players are given the chance to contact Rockstar support to claim their one-time gender change "token". Everyone can change their character's gender once with no cost or any other strings attached. You just contact support, and the next time you boot up GTA Online, you can customize your existing character again, but with the other gender this time around. The one-time limit is probably implemented to keep players from exploiting the system as a character-recustomizer or having people switch gender every day.
Will you be changing the gender of your GTA Online character?

Bahrain: More than 10000 subscribed to sexual networks,More than 50 websites affiliated to prostitution networks in Bahrain
Bahrain: More than 10000 subscribed to sexual networks More than 50 websites affiliated to prostitution networks in Bahrain The second report on Human Trafficking case By: Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights August 15th, 2007 Introduction: Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights (BYSHR) has recently published its first report on "Human Trafficking in Bahrain" (1). The report referred to Human Trafficking gangsters interested in misusing women all over Bahrain. One of the regular visitors of chatting websites told BYSHR about his own experience and how he discovered that they are prostitution websites. The moderators of these websites offered him girls for sex from Bahrain and from all over the world. BYSHR believes that the prostitution business is organized by local networks in Bahrain that have strong ties with international networks. They provide prostitution service via the Internet. Therefore, BYSHR will continue its struggle to eliminate such networks by unveiling the files of "Human Trafficking – Sexual Misuse of Women" in Bahrain. The association shall reveal all the information it holds about sexual misuse of women on the World Wide Web. How do women are misused for trafficking: The victims coming from foreign countries are seduced with tricky plans. Usually, they arrive to Bahrain with gratefulness to those who brought them here. They can hardly identify where they exist because of their incapacity to use the local language. They do not have any one to resort to when the "Human Trafficking" hide their passports and identity documents. Then, they are seduced by offering to upgrade their living standard, provide appropriate job vacancy, and ensure a better future to their families in their origin countries.
Prostitution network is moderated by three persons:
The seeker: the person who contacts Human Trafficking and asks them to provide them with women for sex provided to pay for the broker.
The Broker: the owner and manager of the network who provides the proper woman for the seeker. He receives the money from the seeker and pays little amounts for the women who are sexually misused.
The women (who are sexually misused): They are the women who have sexual relationship with the seeker against tiny amounts of money. They cannot escape from the broker because they are always burdened with debts and their passports are held by the broker.
Prostitution in numbers:
BYSHR acquired adequate statistics on the women who practice prostitution in Bahrain and the numbers of registered users in prostitution websites. The announced number is 13,539 persons from Bahrain. They include seekers and women. This number is increasing day after day. 1200 persons were added to the aforementioned number within only two days.
Advertising websites:
Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights would like to confirm that there is a prominent website that posts huge number of advertisements about prostitution networks in Bahrain. BYSHR discovered more than 50 prostitution websites on the World Wide Web. These websites mention different locations from Bahrain and post women pictures and ages on these areas.
Blocking websites:
Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights asserts that blocking erotic websites in Bahrain is of no use. Every one can easily access these websites through proxies. In addition, blocking will not help to recognize the Human Trafficking.
BYSHR demands:
1. Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights calls for unveiling the authorities responsible for sexually misusing women in Bahrain.
2. Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights calls for stipulating proper laws to prevent Human Trafficking, particularly in regard with sexual misuse of women.
3. Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights calls for discovering how the women seeking to practice prostitution in Bahrain have access to these websites.
(1) For more information please read BYSHR first report dated 11 August 2007, titled "Bahrain: Online Human Trafficking documented with photos. Is there gangs for sexually misusing Bahraini citizens?"

A policy Wal-Mart would like you to forget.
This NYT story, about food banks tightening their belts due to food shortages, is attracting lots of attention this morning. In this time of need, let's remember this oldie but goodie from the Modesto Bee (via Monsterfodder since its no longer in their archives) in January 2006:
Directors of local charities reacted with surprise and disappointment Thursday after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced it would no longer donate food near or past its expiration date to groups feeding the hungry. A spokesman for the nation's largest food retailer said the food will be thrown away to protect the corporation from liability in case someone becomes sick from the donated food. The policy will apply to all 1,224 Wal-Marts, 1,929 Wal-Mart Supercenters and 558 Sam's Clubs.This excuse is total B.S., as the Sacramento Bee explained at that time:
Ernie Brown, a spokesman for Sacramento's Senior Gleaners, which received about 25,000 pounds of food in 2005 from Sam's Club on Greenback Lane in Citrus Heights, said most food is fine to eat for days after the "sell-by" date. He said Wal-Mart's concerns about liability seem misplaced in light of the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, a federal law passed in 1996 offering food donors wide-ranging protections from civil lawsuits or criminal prosecution. The law states that donors can be held liable only in instances of "gross negligence."Wal-Mart deserves a lot more heat on this issue. In fact, they should have gotten it when they made that decision, but nobody seemed to care then but me. Is Wal-Mart responsible for this shortage? I don't know. But there are two ways it could be: 1) If other grocery stores followed their lead or if 2) There aren't any other grocery stores left to donate food. And yes, I know Wal-Mart gives tons of money (as opposed to food) to food banks and food pantries, but that certainly hasn't prevented this shortfall, has it? Wal-Mart seems much more concerned about turning the hungry into customers than with actually feeding them. Wait! I just found a third way Wal-Mart contributes to this problem. Here's the Appalachian News Express (KY) (via USA Today) on the food bank shortfall there:
Charles Sanders of a nearby group called Helping Ease Life's Poverty says demand is up 12-13%. "Most of these people work at Wal-Mart or Kmart and they only let them have 20 hours a week at minimum wage, and you can't make it on 20 hours a week," he tells the News-Express.So let's review: The customers are hungry. The employees are hungry. There is food all over half the store. This situation reminds me of Coleridge:
Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink.

Visitor visas allow people to stay in Canada temporarily. Visitor visas also allow people to connect with family who have immigrated to Canada.
Find out if you need a visa to visit Canada:
Citizens of the Philippines require a visa to enter Canada.
Filipino Diplomats: holders of diplomatic, service, or official passports are not visa exempted. However, they are exempt from paying the processing fees. If you hold one of these passports and are going to Canada, you can submit your application directly to the Embassy with a note verbale from the Department of Foreign Affairs (for Philippines passport holders).
Returning live-in caregivers and other temporary foreign workers with valid Work Permits, and students with valid Student Permits require a visa to re-enter Canada.
United States of America permanent residents [Green Card holders] who are in possession of their status document or who can provide other evidence of permanent residence in the USA do not require a visa to visit Canada. However, if you have been outside of the United States for a considerable period, you must first confirm your permanent resident status before entering Canada.
A foreign national who is not visa exempt transiting Canada for 48 hours or less en route to another country requires a transit visa. An exception to this requirement is that nationals of Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand transiting Canada at Vancouver International Airport to the United States do not require a Canadian transit visa if:
1. They have in their possession a valid and subsisting U.S. visa to enter the U.S. And
2. Are traveling on any of the following airlines-Cathay Pacific Airways, China Airlines or Philippines Airlines.
The following are the types of visitors visa in Canada:
Single-entry visa allows one entry only to Canada within the validity of the visa.
Multiple-entry visa allows unlimited entries to Canada within the validity of the visa.
Transit visa allows for a short stop-over (maximum 48 hours) entry to Canada en route to another country. It can be granted for a single or multiple entries, depending on the applicant's travel requirements. Example: If your return travel is also through Canada, you should request a transit visa valid for two entries.
The validity of a visa is determined by a visa officer. Single-entry visas are normally valid for six months, and multiple-entry visas may be valid for longer periods. The validity date is the period by which you may enter Canada. The decision to admit the foreign national, however, is made by the officer at the port of entry to Canada (airport or border crossing). The officer also determines the length of stay allowed.
Processing Time: 1-3 weeks after the application has been received at the Embassy.
Visa Fee: Single-entry - CAD $ 100.00 or Php 3,450.000
Multiple-entry - CAD $ 100.00 or Php 3,450.00
Note: What ever is the exchange rate or subject to change.

TURN the clock back three or four years, and new England star Jordan Henderson was far from the hottest property at the Academy of Light.
Hampered by growth problems, Henderson lagged behind the likes of Martyn Waghorn, Jack Colback and Michael Kay who were leading the charge from that year's batch.
It wasn't even certain that the Herrington-born midfielder would be kept on at the club until he was eventually rewarded with the last of the apprenticeship contracts.
Attitude and desire coupled with the medical opinion that Henderson would grow into a decent athletic specimen, seem to have ultimately convinced Sunderland that he was worthy of keeping.
That patience to keep Henderson at the club he first joined at seven soon began to pay off.
By the time he began training on a full-time basis in a bid to earn a professional contract, Henderson started to make the first steps on a staggering period of progress, culminating in last night's bow for his country.
But Henderson's rapid development has not come as such a surprise for Sunderland Academy manager Ged McNamee.
In his five years at the helm of Sunderland's youth system, McNamee has developed individual programmes to ensure players come good when they enter the professional game rather than being world-beaters in their early-teens.
McNamee said: "At the age of 15 to 16, there were a few question marks over Jordan.
"He always had ability. That was there from an early age. But he had a lot of growth spurts which stunted his progress to a degree.
"Right up to the age of 16 when it was decision time. Jordan was the last one who came in.
"But the main thing that shone through from Jordan was he just wanted an opportunity.
"We did a lot of investigations and testing with him.
"The physios had indicated that he was going through a growth spurt, and he would come out the other end.
"It's hard to predict what will happen, but we're really pleased we did give him that chance.
"We offered the likes of Waghorn and Colback scholarships before Jordan. Physically, they were ahead of Jordan.
"When he came in full-time, we were trying to protect him because, from a physical aspect, he was behind some of the other boys.
"But he was reluctant to be put on a lesser programme. He wanted to be with the rest of the lads and fight his corner.
"That proved to us his belief that he could cope with it.
"He really started to come on then, and developed on a daily basis.
"But it shows it is a long-term process and sometimes you have to wait for certain players.
"When he broke into the first-team, it was the end of a 10-year programme."
McNamee concedes Henderson's career was boosted by being involved with a team that reached the semi-finals of the 2007 FA Youth Cup and won the U18s North League.
Waghorn, in particular, served as a catalyst to Henderson's challenge for a first-team spot after Roy Keane handed him a shock debut in the 2007 Boxing Day defeat to Manchester United.
Within a year, Henderson had joined Waghorn in the first-team picture – making his debut as a half-time sub in the 5-0 rout at Chelsea – before a three-month loan spell at Coventry earned him a first taste of regular first-team football.
"The majority of the group Jordan was with had been together from a very young age," he said.
"They all had a really good bond and they were all pushing each other to play in the first team.
"Waghorn was the first and the lads were over the moon for that.
"But Jordan wanted to follow him very quickly.
"He was pleased for Martyn, but he wanted to be the next.
"When Roy came to the club, it was apparent early on that he was very supportive of the youth.
"He gave the likes of Waghorn, Jordan, Michael Kay, Micky Liddle and Nathan Luscombe an opportunity to be in and around the first-team.
"That was brilliant for them and for the academy.
"You can have the ability but you need to be given the opportunity. Roy did that.
"When Steve came, it wasn't long before he was getting quite a few enquiries about these young players to go out on loan.
"He knew it was a decent bunch and he brought them into the squad and saw their ability himself."

3 months test, HIV negative
Jul 25, 2013
Hi Doc, Thank you very much for addressing my issues. I went to see my doctor for the 3 months HIV test on the 16th of this month (July). My exposure to HIV was on the 14th of April. I took PEP from 16 April to 15 May as i mentioned previously. The HIV test came out negative. I went for another test yesterday (24th of July)at our campus clinic and the result came out negative and i was told that the result is 100% conclusive and can now feel relieved. You mentioned the test 3 months from date of exposure to be certain. So i need to relax now and consider myself negative?? Thank you Doc.
Response from Dr. Young
Yes. Relax. You have two negative tests more than 3 months after your exposure and PEP.

So I was just kicked from a dungeon and received a 30-minute Deserter debuff as a result. The reasons for the kick were a bit dubious (they didn't like me soloing trash in a level 65 dungeon...), but I can live with a kick. Fine, whatever.
But Deserter? So if a group doesn't like you now, they get to lock you out of all dungeons for 30 minutes?
What the actual fuck.

Utility relocation slows Concord roadwork
Updated 10:11 am, Wednesday, June 4, 2014
Relocating utilities like electric poles and wires, natural gas lines and water and sewer pipes is essential for a road-rebuilding project and the work on Concord Road looks as if it has stalled because of it.
Looks are deceiving, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Transportation said.
Sarah Dupre, spokeswoman for the Beaumont district, which is supervising the Concord reconstruction from East Lucas Drive to Texas 105, said the contractor on the project, Tradeco Infraestructura Inc., had not done some of the drainage work properly.
She said the contractor removed the superintendent on that part of the project and the crew associated with it. Tradeco is hiring replacements for the rest of the project, Dupre said.
"That was the main issue," she said, referring to worker problems.
By today, Centerpoint Energy should have delivered a letter certifying all of its natural gas lines were relocated. All utility companies, including the city of Beaumont, which is responsible for water and sewer, had to relocate its lines and pipes. The contractor doesn't do that work, Dupre said.
By the end of this week, Tradeco should have delivered its new work schedule to the transportation department that covers the remaining time on the project, scheduled for completion by June 2015.
Dupre said the contractor has assured the transportation department it will finish on time.
The $11 million project is to widen Concord Road from two lanes to five - two lanes in either direction with a center turn lane. The reconstruction stretches across 1.77 miles from East Lucas to Texas 105.
It also will build a new Concord Loop that allows residents of an apartment complex to reach the new Concord main lanes.
During the Tuesday Beaumont City Council meeting, two council members said constituents had called them to ask if Concord road work had stopped.
In response, city public works director Patrick Donart said he had heard about the contractor's personnel problems, but didn't know specifically what had happened.
Concord, from Lucas to Texas 105, had been a two-lane, cracked asphalt, twisting road. The city of Beaumont already had rebuilt Concord from Interstate 10 at Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway to East Lucas.
The second stretch to Texas 105, when completed, will give drivers something of an internal loop from MLK at Cardinal Drive up to Texas 105 without having to drive on the interstate or Eastex Freeway.

It seems to me that knowledge and cooking have a lot in common.
Take Prometheus for example. In Greek mythology, the rascal gave fire to humanity, thus allowing us to cook (invaluable!), but also, symbolically, to think (also somewhat valuable).
