Libya: Rebels 'May Use Force To Take Tripoli'
Video: Pro-Gaddafi Supporters:'We'll Give Our Lives'Enlarge
The president of Libya's newly-formed National Council has told Sky News that if Tripoli does not liberate itself then the rebel army will take it by force.
In his first interview since being elected, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil appealed to the international community for help.
He said: "Tripoli is fighting against oppression and when it falls the regime will follow. Now the support around (Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi) is collapsing.
"What we want is an air embargo to stop Gaddafi bringing in mercenaries."
But mistrust of the international community is still strong. Mr Abdul-Jalil's reaction to the prospect of help from foreign troops was not so welcome.
He said: "Any intervention will be confronted with more force than we are using against Gaddafi."
The former justice minister is respected within the country for trying to expand human rights in Libya.
He was the first minister to resign from the government when troops fired on protesters.
Now, Mr Abdul-Jalil says he wants to establish human rights as part of a new constitution.
He said: "What Libyans want is a free democratic state with Islam as its religion but which respects all other religions and renounces violence.
"We want to establish a state which separates authority and respects the law."
When asked about acts of terrorism perpetrated by the regime he was quick to distance himself.
He said: "We renounce all terrorist activities that Gaddafi committed inside and outside Libya."
It is unclear if Mr Abdul-Jalil has the full support of the liberated areas of the country.
However, he is already hoping to hold elections within three months.
But, with Col Gaddafi still clinging to power, talk of freedom may be premature.

The Today Show names Sarasota top real-estate market
Date: October 7, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
This morning, NBC's The Today Show featured the top-10 real-estate markets in the country, and the show's real-estate expert put Sarasota at the top of the list.
Barbara Corcoran said Sarasota was No. 1 because its home prices, which dramatically declined in recent years, have seen a sharp rise in the last quarter. The median home price is now $175,800, up 13% this quarter.
"It's moving fast, and they're snapping up bargains," she said.
Aside from the rising prices, Corcoran cited the beaches and culture as reasons to buy in Sarasota.
"It's a beautiful beach, but on top of that, it's a sophisticated city," she said. "It's an urban city with all the things that sophisticated people like to find there."
The rest of the top real-estate markets:
2. San Francisco
3. Lansing, Mich.
4. Marietta, Ga.
5. Grand Rapids, Mich.
6. St. Petersburg
7. Naperville, Ill.
8. Trenton, N.J.
9. St. Louis
10. Saginaw, Mich.

Buck MountainLadybugs are everywhere—tiny jeweled beetles clinging thick as plaster to trees, with more arriving. They number in the thousands at the end of the trail up 7,571-foot Buck Mountain in the Coconino National Forest, 37 miles southeast of Flagstaff. Buck Mountain Trail, actually a two-track service road, has a locked gate with an opening large enough for hikers to pass through. The easy-rated hike involves a 300-foot elevation gain over three-quarters of a mile up the road to the lookout. The lookout atop Buck Mountain is only one of two towers in Arizona made completely of wood. The other is East Pocket Lookout in Oak Creek Canyon north of Sedona. The nearby national forest offers many primitive campsites, and other area attractions include the easy drive to another fire lookout atop Indian Maiden Mountain. But be sure to include the hike up Buck Mountain as part of a summertime outing in Arizona's high country. The incredible views from the summit reveal the craggy San Francisco Peaks to the north. Maybe the ladybugs like the views, too.
Trail GuideLength: 1.5 miles, round-trip
Elevation: 7,250 to 7,571 feet
Difficulty: Easy
Directions: From Flagstaff, drive south on State Route 89A, which becomes Interstate 17, to Exit 339 (Forest HIghway 3). Travel southeast on FR 3 to Forest Road 229, about 5 miles south of Happy Jack. Turn right (west) on Forest Road 229; drive about 2 miles and turn left on 229B. Travel about .75 of a mile and turn left on the service road. Drive to the service road gate.

Thumb ButteAbout 3,000 hikers amble up the slopes of Prescott's distinctive landmark, Thumb Butte, on a typical month, making it the Prescott National Forest's most popular hike. The 2-mile, 90-minute Thumb Butte Loop Trail is appealing — you can sample the 1.25 million-acre Prescott National Forest in central Arizona in the morning and still browse historic downtown Prescott's shops and restaurants in the afternoon. In the shade of towering ponderosa pine trees with a view of the dark basalt Thumb Butte, you'll follow the path south past scattered chaparral: Arizona white oak, mountain mahogany, manzanita and juniper. One of the trail's many interpretive signs explained that you can spot squirrels' nests high in the ponderosa pines: "They look like messy clumps of needles, but are actually carefully built homes with entrances, ceilings and inside linings of soft materials." Classified as a moderate trail, the path at times rises steeply past gambel oaks and scatterings of wildflowers, including brilliant yellow goldenrods and orange-red penstemons. After hiking south nearly a mile, the trail veersto the east. Less than a quarter of a mile later, you'll reach the junction to the Groom Creek Vista, which offers a spectacular bird's-eye view of a wide-open azure sky.
Trail GuideLength: 2-mile loop
Elevation: 5,700 to 6, 300 feet
Difficulty: Easy
Directions: From Phoenix, drive north on Interstate 17 approximately 62 miles and get off at Exit 262, State Route 69. Travel northwest about 34 miles and then follow the sign to Gurley Street, which passes through downtown Prescott. From downtown, travel west on Gurley Street, which becomes Thumb Butte Road. Continue on to the Thumb Butte picnic area, located about 3 miles from Prescott's courthouse.

Packard TrailFor more than a millennium, the 5-mile Packard Trail has meandered through sycamores, junipers and hillsides to deliver travelers near the doorstep of a Sinagua Indian mystery. The eight to 10-hour round-trip day hike starts 11 miles northwest of Tuzigoot National Monument, an ancient hilltop pueblo overlooking the Verde River where the Sinagua people grew corn, beans and squash between the 8th and 15th centuries. Packard Trail begins at a fork with the Parson Spring Trail downhill from a parking circle at the end of Forest Road 131 in the Prescott National Forest with a strenuous, 2.5-mile, 1,100-foot elevation gain as it climbs out of leafy, spring-fed Sycamore Creek at 3,600 feet elevation. The trail climbs through a grassy hillside to the juniper plateau at the 4,880-foot top of Packard Mesa. Packard Trail leaves the Sycamore Wilderness Area and merges with Forest Trail 63, a main hike and horse route, that leads north back into the wilderness area. Along Trail 63, about a quarter mile north of the Packard Trail junction, stands Sycamore Tank, where junipers yield to an open park crisscrossed with cattle trails. About 9 miles from the 63 trailhead, near an old ranch camp called Taylor Cabin, a large cave with a natural chimney may also have sheltered the Sinagua traveling between the Mogollon Rim high country and Tuzigoot.
Trail GuideLength: 5 miles, one-way
Elevation: 3,600 to 4,600 feet
Difficulty: Moderate to difficult
Location: About 50 miles southwest of Flagstaff.
Directions: From Flagstaff, drive southwest on State Route 89A about 44 miles to Cottonwood. From Cottonwood, take Main Street northwest toward Clarkdale, following the signs to Tuzigoot National Monument. Turn right on Tuzigoot Road, cross the Verde River and take an immediate left on Sycamore Canyon Road (Forest Service Road 131). Follow the road approximately 10 miles to the vehicle turnaround and trailhead.
Travel Advisory: Carry a compass, trail map and topographical map. Hikers must carry 3 to 4 quarts of water, as water along the route is not safe to drink. Archaeological sites are protected under the law.

Sycamore SpringSycamore spring swells from a trickle to a stream beginning in a grove of old-growth sycamore trees before slipping into a shadowy slot canyon in the Arrastra Mountain Wilderness area northwest of Wickenburg in central Arizona. The state Department of Water Resources designates the spring as "unique water" because of the colony of plants that thrive there. The road in and the trail itself are strewn with crumbled granite and boulders, so hikers should wear stout hiking boots to protect their feet. Sycamores mark the spring just downstream from where the trail arrives in Peoples Canyon. The spring water is sweet to drink, but treat it before drinking, because cows use the waterhole as well. Plan a bird-watching safari in March and early April for sightings of migrating species. Or just enjoy the shade of the big sycamores and the soothing, tinkling music of the spring, in a wilderness place not that far away.
Trail GuideLength: 5 miles
Elevation: 3,500 feet
Difficulty: Moderate
Directions: Turn west off U.S. Route 93 at Milepost 155, about 44 miles north of Wickenburg and 200 yards north of the intersection with State Route 97 to Bagdad. A high-clearance vehicle is required. At 3.2 miles, turn right and proceed to the second windmill. Park there or continue driving to the trailhead near signs marking the Arrastra Mountain Wilderness boundary. The spring is in Peoples Canyon, 1.3 miles from the trailhead.
Travel Advisory: Autumn, winter and early spring are the best times for a Sycamore Spring hike. Beware of summer flash floods.

Wilson CanyonCalling hikers toward red-rock spires and variegated cliffs, Wilson Canyon Trail meanders around fragrant Arizona cypress trees. The graceful trees add a sparkling scent of mint to this easy 1.5-mile trail. The trailhead, only about 2 miles from Sedona, lies in Oak Creek Canyon. A favorite time to hike Wilson Canyon is late winter. When high-elevation snows melt, the cold, clear water musically trickles down the canyon. Terraced waterfalls in the intimate sylvan world seem to appear around every bend. The trail parallels the canyon, crossing the unnamed stream several times. Piñon pine trees, one-seed junipers, hollyleaf buckthorns, yuccas and sugar sumacs grace the way. The walking proves easy, allowing plenty of opportunities to view the rock formations that shelter the tree-lined bowl. Lava-capped Wilson Mountain towers to the north. At 7,122 feet, it ranks as the highest point in all of Red Rock Country. To the west rise Shiprock and Wilson Notch, formations carved from the pale Coconino sandstone. Below stand several spires in the red-orange Schnebly Hill formation. Beyond 1.5 miles, the trail fades into the streambed. Turn around anywhere that feels satisfying. Perhaps, before heading back, take a moment to pause. Breathe in the primal energy of this sylvan canyon world, and save the memory for later.
Trail GuideLength: 1.5 miles, one-way
Elevation: 4,500 to 5,000 feet
Difficulty: Easy
Directions: From Flagstaff, travel south on State Route 89A. From Sedona, travel north on 89A, and cross Midgley Bridge, the silver structure spanning Wilson Canyon; then turn left into the parking area. Walk to the picnic shelters and begin the hike at the Wilson Canyon #49 sign.
Travel Advisory: Parking at trailheads or pullouts within Red Rock Country in the Coconino National Forest requires a Red Rock Pass. Passes may be purchased at Gateway Visitor Centers when entering Sedona, at automated stations at several trailheads, from local tourist stores or on the Internet.
Information: Coconino National Forest, Red Rock Ranger District, 928-282-4119; http://www.redrockcountry.org.
Boulder CanyonThe rough-hewn scenery of the Superstition Wilderness and its alluring legends always provide an intriguing setting for a hike. German prospector Jacob Waltz, nicknamed "the Dutchman," immortalized the Superstition Mountains with tales of his Lost Dutchman Mine. This legend drew a crowd of prospectors to the mountains in search of a phantom mine the Dutchman described as an 18-inch-thick vein of gold that lies in the shadow of Weavers Needle. The 7.3-mile-long Boulder Canyon Trail, which starts at La Barge Canyon on the northern edge of the Superstition Wilderness, won't take hikers to Waltz's legendary mine, but it will take them to a cluster of adits midway along the trail. The real treasures of the trail, however, show up in natural features. The most abundant are the extravagant panoramas along the path — some of the best in the wilderness. The views start at mile 1 on an overlook that gives a glimpse of the azure shimmer of Canyon Lake to the north and the tempestuous topography of the Superstitions to the south. The overlook makes a good turnaround point for a short hike. When the trail crosses La Barge Canyon's creekbed, it heads into an anomalous area of salmon-colored rock called Indian Paint Saddle. Relics from Indian Paint Mine stand on the top of the tiny saddle. Prospectors left their mark all around the area — hikers might find rusted equipment and prospect tunnels. The mine, at mile 3.4, makes a good turnaround point for a moderate day hike. From Indian Paint Mine, the trail drops into Boulder Canyon and heads south along the canyon floor. The trail ends at the Dutchman Trail in Marsh Valley.
Trail GuideLength: 7.3 miles, one-way
Elevation: 1,680 to 2,300 feet
Difficulty: Moderate
Directions: From Phoenix, drive east on U.S. Route 60 to Idaho Road, Exit 196. Drive north on Idaho Road about 1 mile, and turn right onto State Route 88, also known as the Apache Trail. Drive 15.8 miles to the trailhead across from the Canyon Lake Marina. Park in the marina parking lot at signs marked "Trailhead Parking." The parking lot is closed from dusk to dawn.

Pinnacle PeakThe Pinnacle Peak Trail in north Scottsdale, established in April 2002, offers a 1.75-mile (one way) hike through some of the most lush Sonoran Desert vegetation found anywhere close to a large city. Much of Pinnacle Peak Park is covered with large granite boulders that seem to cascade down each side of the peak. At the trail's apex, hikers can see Camelback Mountain to the southwest, Humboldt Mountain on the north, and the most dramatic view, Four Peaks, some 25 miles to the east. Near the trail parking lot, stands a visitors center that offers interpretive information, water and restrooms. Starting at an elevation of 2,570 feet, the trail passes by specimens of foothills paloverde trees, banana yuccas and saguaro cacti. Shortly, the trail switchbacks steeply up nearly 300 feet to Grandview Point, a good place to rest and take in the sights. The trail continues a bit to its high point of 2,889 feet and then descends a pass that looks down on multimillion-dollar homes. After another short climb, the trail drops to 2,366 feet at the western end. There is no exit from the park at this point, so turn around and go back up the trail, completing an invigorating 3.5-mile hike.
Trail GuideLength: 1.75 miles, one-way
Elevation: 2,570 to 2,889 feet to 2,366 feet
Difficulty: Moderate
Directions: From north Phoenix, drive east on Dynamite Boulevard to Alma School Parkway and turn south for 1 mile.
Information: 480-312-0990; www.scottsdaleaz.gov/parks/pinnacle.
Lynx LakeThe 55-acre Lynx Lake lies approximately 4 miles east of Prescott in the Prescott National Forest. The 1.25-million-acre national forest lies in a mountainous section of central Arizona, wedged between forested plateaus to the north and cactus-laden desert to the south. Trail No. 311, a 2-mile loop around the lake, is fragrant with ponderosas and lush in texture. Berries dangle from manzanita bushes' maroon and silver entwined branches, alligator juniper trees wear reptilian bark and woolly mulleins' soft leaves feel like a fuzzy blanket. The trail loops to the south end of the lake, a popular picnicking and bank-fishing destination, and angles down to the mouth of Lynx Creek, which feeds the lake. Sometime's, it's possible to journey south along the east side of the lake, but it's closed to hikers from December 1 to June 15 if nesting bald eagles are hatching eggs.
Trail GuideLength: 2 miles
Elevation: 5,530 feet
Difficulty: Easy
Directions: From Phoenix, travel north on Interstate 17 and take the Cordes Junction exit. Turn left onto State Route 69 and drive west toward Prescott. Turn left onto Walker Road in Prescott and follow signs to the Lynx Lake boat ramp.
Travel Advisory: There's a $2 daily parking fee at each Lynx Lake Recreation Area site. One $2 payment allows parking at all Lynx Lake Recreation sites on the same day. For bird-watchers, bald eagles can best be viewed between November and June, and ospreys between March and July.
Information: Prescott National Forest, Bradshaw Ranger District, 928-443-8000 or www.fs.fed.us/r3/prescott.
Sterling Pass TrailSteep and demanding, the 2.4-mile-long Sterling Pass Trail marks a historic route up a beautiful side canyon of Oak Creek Canyon. The trail begins as a mad dash up a short, but steep, forested wall of Oak Creek Canyon. The path settles down to a more sensible climb as it heads to a slick-rock pour-off, contours its edge, then enters a captivating forest. The moist environment cradled between red rock walls, which rise several hundred feet, nurtures a timberland of hardwoods and giant ponderosa pines above a spread of bracken ferns. Though still on the uphill, the trail wends docilely through this pretty forest. By mile one, the path turns austere as it starts a steep, rugged climb out of the drainage. The trail becomes more demanding the higher it climbs, but the panoramic views become more exquisite. At Sterling Pass, hikers will have climbed almost 1,200 feet elevation in 1.7 miles. From there, hikers may return to the trailhead for a shorter day hike or continue on the trail. The path zigzags through the pines down the other side of the pass into Sterling Canyon, dropping 800 feet in three-fourths of a mile to the Vultee Arch Trail.
Trail GuideLength: 2.4 miles, one-way
Elevation: 4,840 to 6,000 feet
Difficulty: Strenuous
Directions: From the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179, go north on State 89A, and drive 6.2 miles to the trailhead on the west side of the road, 200 yards north of the Manzanita Campground.
Travel Advisory: A Red Rock Pass is required when parking on national forest lands for recreation in Red Rock Country. Purchase passes at the Gateway Visitor Centers, on the Internet and at a variety of local vendors and self-pay stations.
Information: Coconino National Forest, Red Rock Ranger District, 928-282-4119; www.redrockcountry.com.
Sixshooter TrailIt's not often you come across a trail with an identity crisis, but you're more likely to if you hike in the sky-island ranges. The Sixshooter Trail, just south of Globe in the Pinal Mountains, takes on a manic personality. Within its 6-mile length, the trail obsessively and steeply climbs almost 3,000 feet to transport you from a scrubby chaparral mix along raspy mountain slopes to quaking aspen trees at the trail's end near Ferndell Spring. The trail starts out exposed, without cover, among the chaparral mix of manzanita and scrub-oak bushes. By mile 2, the trail continues its nonstop climb under canopies of Gambel oak trees. Still climbing after about 4 miles, the trail pulls away from the canyon's crevice and stabilizes its personality as it enters pine-oak forest. Just a half-mile from the end, the trail veers off the road to the right and enters a forest of mixed conifers and aspen trees. The trail ends about a quarter-mile beyond Ferndell Spring at its junction with the Middle Trail.
Trail GuideLength: 6 miles
Elevation: 4,600 to 7,560 feet
Difficulty: Strenuous
Directions: Drive to the east edge of Globe on U.S. Route 60, and turn right (south) at Hill Street just past Milepost 251. Follow the brown and white signs 1.2 miles to the Pinal Mountain Recreation Area and turn right onto Icehouse Canyon Road, which is Forest Service Road 112; drive 1.8 miles to a stop sign and continue straight 2 miles to the end of the pavement. Drive 0.5 mile to the CCC Camp picnic area and the Sixshooter Canyon trailhead.

Towel CreekA cluster of southern Sinagua Indian ruins that once served as an outpost for prehistoric trade routes along the Verde River can be explored today along Towel Creek Trail, about 85 miles north of Phoenix, in the Coconino National Forest. The 700- to 900-year-old ruins, reachable by a 5.5-mile one-way day hike on Forest Trail 67 from Forest Road 708, southeast of the town of Camp Verde, are among several sites spaced along the river between Phoenix and the Mogollon Rim. Hiking in from FR 708 lets you keep your feet dry to the ruins — all accessible by an easy climb from the main trail. Watch for a yellow fence gate along Verde River Road, about 500 yards south of Needle Rock that marks the trailhead. Cross the wash, follow the old jeep road for 2.5 miles to Towel Tank, where nearly year-round water provides a haven for Gambel's quail. The trail from the tank to the ruins descends 1,000 feet in 2 miles over tipsy rocks and loose gravel.
Trail GuideLength: 5.5 miles, one-way
Elevation: 4,100 feet to 2,900 feet
Difficulty: Moderate
Directions: From Interstate 17, take the General Crook Trail, State Route 260, into Camp Verde. Follow SR260 across the Verde for 7 miles, then turn south on the graveled FR 708 for 8.5 miles to Needle Rock. Parking is limited to a clearing east of the road just past Needle Rock. Don't block the ranch road on the west side.

Losing weight with a protein shake diet is a very useful means to lose weight. On the other hand, you need to have the determination and perseverance when losing weight. You need to get the right exercise or workout. It is also useful to have self-discipline when you are losing weight.

Clay Aiken is coming to Atlanta again but on his own solo tour, not the goofier Ruben Studdard combo deal he did last summer.
He'll be at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center on Feb. 16. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 17, at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com.
- Carrie Underwood's "Mama's Song" has seen a burst of airplay growth, possibly fueled by her massive American Country Awards victory Monday night. It jumps into the top 5 on the Mediabase 24/7 country chart, a bonafide hit and not a "radio failure" as I thought might happen a couple months ago when the song was stalling out at around 19.
The song jumped 644 spins week over week, its biggest leap since I started tracking it. At 6,972 spins, it has jumped ahead of Tim McGraw and George Strait singles, which are still climbing and past Brad Paisley's recent No. 1 hit "Anything Like Me." It still needs at least another 1,000 spins to make it top 2 but that's actually within reach.
-Funny Conan O'Brien joke last night about Jennifer Lopez:
"Jennifer Lopez's ex husband is trying to release a sex tape he made of the two of them. She's upset because he wants to release this. Jennifer Lopez says she plans to keep people from seeing it by promoting it heavily."
- "A whole new season with a whole new attitude," the voiceover says with this Steven Tyler-focused promo:
Here's a solo promo with Randy Jackson:

Didn't J.Lo already release a sex tape? You mean she used a different route to become famous in the first place?
Thanks for the numbers, I think we can call it good on Mama's Song.

This Steven Tyler can be quite a role model for these Idol kids. He has been big in the rock and roll music business and knock on wood so far has lived to tell about it. That Keith Richards should wish he looked so good when he was that age. And that also goes for Brian Jones as well.

Sad news: The precious little Zebra Evidence, found hurt on I-75 as a baby a couple years ago, has died at his rescue home, Noah's Ark, south of Atlanta. Related to the terrible injury he suffered after apparently falling out of a truck.

Students throughout the participated in a number of events to honor the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Junior.
Students are out of class Monday for the national holiday, but teachers held a number of events Friday to help students understand history and honor King.
At , MOSAICS teacher Mollie Leyton had students participate in an activity where they read stories and listened to music from the time of civil rights movement.
"There are a couple songs that I pulled that took place during that time, to help teach the kids about music," Leyton tells Patch.
She teaches "exceptionally gifted" second graders and said she taught many of them last year so she wanted to build on their knowledge of King.
"They know about Martin Luther King because we studied him last year, but I wanted them to see how his work impacted the life of every single american, not just in politics, but how his politics influenced music and many other aspects of life," Leyton explained.
Music teacher Cailin Forrest also had students participate in class activites and lessons to honor the late civil rights leader. Forrest tells Patch she compiled some musical pieces that students will sing to help them learn about King and who he was.
"I think that Martin Luther King fought for issues that are still important today. While slavery is still abolished in our country, it is still taking place in other countries around the world and relevant today," Forrest tells Patch. "It's a great way to tie in current events and a social studies curriculum and we can do that through music.
Forrest said that second graders learned a gospel song about King's life. They sang and played an instrumental accompaniment along with the song using xylophones and finger cymbals. Third graders sang about freedom and read musical notation, while playing xylophones, met allophones, and claves.
"The students sang from their hearts and played amazingly. It was a very proud moment and lesson," Forrest stated.

Dive into Happy French Gang's Frenchified Guide to San Francisco
The Paris of the West meets, er, actual Paris.
Sandra Dejanovic says the colors of San Francisco are the primary inspiration for her dreamily tie-dyed blankets, bedspreads, and pillows for Happy French Gang. But before she became entranced by Fog City, she was a Parisienne through and through. How does she navigate S.F. like a French woman? Here, her favorite activities. —eleanor hooker
Eating the Best Pastries
"In Paris, fresh pastries are everywhere, and I do miss that. In San Francisco, I like to go to Tartine when I feel I need to eat something quickly and French. I always buy the same thing: country bread, croissant, and pain au chocolat. Every morning, there is a huge line, but since I live on the same block, I have many opportunities to stop by when there is almost nobody."
(600 Guerrero St.)
Getting Outside and Exploring
"I live with my family in the Mission, and going to Dolores Park is our favorite activity on the weekend. When it's sunny, we lay down our blanket and stay there for hours. We can see the park from our house, and we call it our garden because we're there so often."
Drinking Wine with Friends
"In San Francisco, I like to go to Loló for wine and an aperitif, and Farina Pizza is also good. In Paris, I am always out with friends, getting wine and listening to live music. But in San Francisco, it's more low-key. I find that I invite people over for drinks, or I go to their houses."
(Loló: 974 Valencia St.; Farina Pizza: 700 Valencia St.)
Hitting Up a Museum
"Paris has all the best museums, but in San Francisco, even though it's smaller, the de Young Museum is really great. There are always new exhibitions, and there's a tower with a view of Golden Gate Park and the rest of the city. It's beautiful."
(50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Dr.)
You've got to see the oh so pretty throw Sandra made us by hand!

Hello, S.F.! Baggu Goes Bi-Coastal
This company is not choosing sides.
When Emily Sugihara and her mom Joan launched Baggu back in 2007, they were shipping orders out of a family garage in San Diego. Soon enough—after Emily's bestie Ellen van der Laan joined the team—they moved cool-bag HQ to Brooklyn, and, in November 2012, they added a second studio in San Fran's Dogpatch 'hood to the mix—with lots of light and plenty of space to spread out. "It's cool because there are a ton of creative businesses in the building—photo studios, a place that gives cooking classes, another with sewing classes, a chocolate maker, a granola company," says Ellen. "It's actually a lot like our street in Brooklyn." Ellen shows off their new digs below. —alisha prakash
"The front door is Baggu blue!"
"There's an amazing plant store near to our office called Flora Grubb. We've gotten a ton of plants from there—both for the office and for photo props that have turned into office plants. They remind us that we're in California now."
"Here's me, Kabir Fernandez (product designer and photographer), Joan Sugihara, and Emily Sugihara. We love these huge columns, the light, and the white walls. We have identical columns in our Brooklyn studio."
"We searched high and low and just kept coming back to this desk set-up. It's the same one we use in our office in Brooklyn. It's an oak butcher block from IKEA, on top of two of their white metal screw-in legs and a white set of drawers. They're big but great."
"When we ordered vinyl lettering for our front door, the company included this weird SMILE lettering. Now it's our mirror flair."
"Our office in Williamsburg is jam-packed to the brim. When Kabir needed to photograph something, he would have to come in early or late once the store was closed, just to be able to have the space to unroll a seamless. Our studio here is big enough to have a seamless to photograph with at all times. So luxurious!"
"We have this huge table. It's probably a quarter of the size of our whole office in New York. It's really amazing to be able to spread out and work together on it, but it's a constant struggle to keep it clean and cleared off!"
"We have these huge windows that look out over the bay, downtown San Francisco, and Potrero Hill."
"Emily knew about these water heaters from Japan. It's a Zojirushi—it permanently keeps water at tea-making temperature. And the rad circular cutting board, we got from Mociun in Brooklyn."
"Another great feature of our office—the industrial sewing machine! There's finally space for it here."
We can't even with Baggu's latest leather edition—it's that good.

Head to the Golden Gate Conservatory of Flowers With Julia Kostreva
She's a total petal pusher.
"The Conservatory of Flowers is just this breathtaking white gem of a building by Golden Gate Park that looks like it's from the Victorian era," says Julia Kostreva. The oasis, stuffed with green, provides some serious fuel for Julia's incredible paper-goods line—and it helps that she lives just five blocks away. See what she sees in the spot. —kristina erfe
"The main reason I really love the Conservatory of Flowers is because of the really wild colors and different plant types that you would never be able to see otherwise. The journey there is really fun."
"This is the lily pad room—a beautiful pond of water with an amazing skylight. Incredibly inspiring!"
"One of the best examples of wild-looking patterns in the conservatory—with half pink, half green leaves."
"I can be inspired by something as simple as seeing a leaf that has one color on one side and has an inverse of color on the other—which really is more an abstract inspiration that I can then translate into my work."
"Another example of a wild pattern—this leaf looks like it was painted."
"I can be inspired directly or abstractly. Sometimes, I'll collage with the patterns that I took photos of, and then I'll use the texture or the color or a really subtle piece of the collage. Or sometimes it can be a direct transition to my product."
Planning ahead has never looked so good as it does with Julia's notebook and planner set.

Hortense Jewelry
Long before French-born Hortense Bonneau was designing her line, she was a kid with an eye for jewelry. "When I was five, I went to Florence with my dad. There's one street with jewelers on both sides, and I wanted to go inside every store," she says. "Then, at 10, I went Place Vendôme in Paris, spending hours looking into the windows of Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier."
But she ended up working as a photo editor at a magazine for years before realizing she had an itch. "I wanted to do something with my hands, but I didn't know what. So my husband sat me down and asked me what I liked in life," she recalls. The first thing that came to mind: jewelry.
When she moved to San Fran with her movie-animator man, she made the switch. "I washed dogs. That's how I made money to buy a bench and tools," she says. One year later, Hortense registered at the Academy of Art and the Alan Revere Academy, and after working as a metalsmith for other designers, launched her own fine-jewelry label in 2007. Over the years, it's evolved as her life has—taking a pause when her daughter Lola was born, making the move to L.A. when she did, getting daintier when the mood struck her. "Step by step, that's how I grew." —alisha prakash

Joshu+Vela Unearths 4 of the Coolest Vintage Bags Around
The puppies have survived decades.
"A big part of making something new is figuring out what worked in the past," explains Noah Guy of the S.F. bag line Joshu+Vela. So his old-school inspo is always close-at-hand, Noah keeps his favorite vintage satchels on display in his studio—allowing he and his cohorts to look back as they move forward. Here, a quartet of stars. —carrie neill
Eastpak duffel, from the mid eighties
"The shape and proportions of this eighties Eastpak duffel were the inspiration for my Of a Kind edition. When I started out making bags, I made something a bit bigger and sent it on the road with my friend who was touring through Europe with his band. His feedback was that it was too big, too heavy—so I went back to this size. The handles are really great, and the spacing and placement of them is nice."
Filson duffel, from the early eighties
"I love the colors on this and the leather details. This is a higher-end version of what the Eastpak was—it's definitely a West Coast bag."
French linen backpack, from the forties
"This is from another era. I got in in Alameda at an army-navy store and scrawled my last name on it, which you might be able to see. The details are great—there's felt and wool on the back, and it has this great steel hardware, too."
Bass split leather tote, from the seventies
"This is one of my favorite bags. It has sort of a Connecticut-Northeastern vibe—maybe for a fly fisherman who has a house in Manhattan but is actually quite country and rugged. This is totally a bag my grandfather would have had."
Now's your chance to score Noah's exclusive, crazy-cool denim weekender, inspired by these classics.

Noah Guy Shares the Best Places to Bike to in All of San Fran
The spots you've gotta hit on a pair of wheels.
For Noah Guy, traveling through the streets of San Fransisco on his custom eighties bicycle—American-made, just like his bags for Joshu+Vela—is oh-so-much better than driving his truck. And that's only partially because of his bike's rad graphics. For Noah, an ideal trip starts out in the Mission and ends up at the coast—with the stops below on the way. —carrie neill
Adobe Bookshop
"I'd start out at Adobe Books at the corner of 16th and Valencia. It's an independent bookstore, a sort of San Fran institution, and it's struggling to stay alive. It shows a more relaxed side of the city—they have punk concerts, poetry readings, and art shows in the back. It's kind of a relic of the pre-money age."
(3166 16th St.)
The Wiggle to the Conservatory of Flowers
"Then I'd take the Wiggle—SF's mile-long, zigzagging bike route—into Golden Gate Park, and check out the Conservatory of Flowers. They've recently painted bike lines and bike symbols on the roads. It seems like there are more bikers in San Francisco per capita than anywhere else."
(Conservatory: 100 John F. Kennedy Dr.; conservatoryofflowers.org)
Happy Bakery to de Young Museum
"At Happy Bakery, just south of the park at 24th and Irving, you can get the best vegetarian steamed rice buns. I'd grab a couple of those and then head to the de Young museum, which is a really interesting building. I saw the Vivienne Westwood exhibit there a few years ago. It was cool to look at the things she was doing right out of art school, when she was just making things with her buddies, and to think that years later, those pieces ended up in a museum."
(Bakery: 2253 Irving St.; Museum: 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Dr.; deyoung.famsf.org)
Trouble Coffee Company to Ocean Beach
"After that, I'd head out to Ocean Beach, stopping for some cinnamon toast from Trouble Coffee. The surf at the beach is a bit rough, so the surfers there are really good. It's a very relaxing place—a real stress-reliever."
(Coffee: 4033 Judah St.; troublecoffee.com)

The best ideas come when you aren't looking for them. At least, that was the case for Joshu+Vela founder Noah Guy, who first dreamt of starting his own bag and accessories company during a beach hang in Seminyak, Bali, a few years back. Feeling inspired, he came up with a few early designs and made use of Indonesia's organic indigo dye, which his company still incorporates today. But don't let Joshu+Vela's exotic origins fool you: Noah is a fan of things American-made, through and through.
"I grew up appreciating quality," says the designer, who describes visiting Orvis and L.L.Bean frequently as a kid with his dad—and being dismayed when so much American production got shipped overseas in the nineties. His determination to bring back the high-quality nature of war-era bags from the forties and fifties led Noah to decide to handcraft everything from a 900-square-foot studio in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood—taking the skills he'd honed at Levi's, Old Navy, and Northface and throwing himself into Joshu+Vela full-force in 2010.
Now, Joshu+Vela produces a whole range of goodness—bags of all sizes, dopp kits, wallets—but the original design ethos remains intact. "There's a certain pride in having a nice cloth," Noah says. "That's basically where we started with Joshu+Vela, and that's what we're trying to hold true to." —carrie neill

Ryan DeBonville
It's hardly rare for designers to hold down odd jobs to pursue their fashion goals, but Ryan DeBonville's current gig takes the cake. "In 2009, I quit my men's personal shopper job at J.Crew so I could work at my friend's tanning salon and knit more," chuckles the San Francisco native. "I was so embarrassed to tell J.Crew."
But the time had come to focus more on his work—Ryan had been perfecting his craft for 25 years. "My Grandma used to pick me up from pre-school, and there wasn't anything to play with other than my mom's old dolls," Ryan explains. "She tried to teach me to knit a few times. But that didn't work out too well, so I made up a way." This eventually led to his first apparel creation: an oversized sweater inspired by one of his mother's Neiman Marcus pieces from the eighties.
Ryan's current collection of infinity scarves and beanies is more timeless but just as thoughtful. "It is an amazing amount of work. About 100 to 200 hours goes into the design and development of each piece," he notes. "I'd love to start doing sweaters and bags…and to start using knitting machines!" —jessie pascoe

Ryan DeBonville's Guide to Stuffing Your Face in SF's Mission District
Ten meals worth making room for.
Born and raised in San Francisco, Ryan DeBonville has got the whole Bay Area on lock. But living in the Mission now means he rarely has to leave his 'hood for a meal. "The main street, Valencia, has gotten about 12 new restaurants in the last few years. All of my favorites are a block from my house, so I have to go to the gym a lot," he explains. If you want to break bread with the discerning knitter, here are the 10 places you are most likely to find him. —jessie pascoe
"I love the dark atmosphere in this place—and the kitchen is open past 1 A.M., a rarity in SF. Order their beet salad followed by house-made vanilla ice cream drizzled with olive oil and sea salt."
Yo-Yo Sushi
"I pretend to go here for the sushi, but, really, all I ever want is the deep-fried, tempura-battered green tea ice cream."
"This is one of the older Spanish tapas restaurants in the city. It gets loud and crowded, but their spicy potatoes are so worth it. And it's cheap—most plates are under $10."
"Vegetarian Japanese food! This place has all kinds of really great veggie dishes, but my go-to is the veg-tofu curry with soba noodles."
Thorough Bread and Pastry
"A few short blocks from the Mission, this place has a tiny Frenchwoman behind the counter who reminds me of the soup guy from Seinfeld. They have some of the best sandwiches and pastries around—I buy their chocolate-dipped cream puffs by the dozen."
Caffeination nation—a.k.a., Four Barrel.
Four Barrel
"Amazing cappuccinos—my favorite in the city. They carry pastries like bacon-maple donuts that are basically why I have a gym membership and do yoga in the first place."
Pancho Villa
"This is a quick-and-dirty burrito place that's open late. I love getting extra to-go containers of their salsa and putting it on eggs in the morning."
Sunflower Vietnamese Restaurant
"They have amazing, hearty pho and incredible beef dishes—it's also fairly inexpensive. The goal of the servers is to get people in and out—and they have no problem telling you to move it sometimes—but that's somehow part of the charm."
"This place is fairly new and is practically in my living room—I live next door. They have a special, 5,000-pound oven that cooks their stellar pizzas, but some of my favorites are the fresh salads and small plates they do. The restaurant is run by a mostly deaf staff, so be prepared to be greeted with pieces of paper with questions written on them."
Crazy Sushi
"Also right next door to my apartment. They have really great rolls here, and I always try to go on Tuesdays when they get their shipments of fish in from Japan for the week."
Get Ryan's made-in-San Fran knit hat now! Cozier than a Four Barrel latte.

What about the Wii?
I don't doubt this at all -- as I've always been told the same thing. And yet . . . Nintendo's "Wii" console is a slot-loading drive, and they encourage you to play Gamecube games on them -- which have mini-CD sized discs. Is there something new about the Wii's slot-loading drive that isn't true for Apple's drives?
re: What about the Wii?
Yes, in fact, there is. The Wii drive handles mini-CDs, while no other slot-load drive I've seen has been able to manage that feat. It has a special drive mechanism that centers and pulls the disc in, but I believe that it adds extra thickness that precludes Apple from using such a design in portables.
re: What about the Wii?
Thanks for the info, I had always wondered that.

Things to Do in Orlando
Orlando is a major city in central Florida where the tourism industry is the mainstay of their economy. A popular vacation destination, there are so many things to do in Orlando; it would take a lifetime to experience them all.
Theme parks are of course a favorite activity for visitors to Orlando and with over 50 theme parks, you can select your favorite to explore in-depth, or visit only your favorites. Not surprisingly, Orlando has the most theme parks as any city on the globe!
Walt Disney World theme parks are the iconic attraction of Orlando. With four theme parks and two water parks, Disney is a tourist attraction force to be reckoned with. Tourism in Orlando became as big as it is because of Walt Disney's decision to locate his park here in 1965. Magic Kingdom is the Disney park that includes the most rides; Animal Kingdom contains over a thousand animals; and the water parks boast the best waterslides in the world.
Universal Studios is another theme park in Orlando to experience as it is an actual production lot with movie-based rides and shows that take you behind the scenes of your favorite television shows and movies. Universal Orlando Resort
SeaWorld Adventure Parks is home to world famous killer whale shows and theme park rides that have thrilled visitors since 1973.
Dinner theatre of Orlando, Florida includes Pirate's Dinner Adventure where you partake of dinner amid a pirate ship. Arabian Nights is a dining experience while enjoying Arabian horses do various stunts and tricks. Then, there is Medieval Times, perhaps the most engrossing experience of all in the arena of dinner theatre, as patrons enjoy a four-course feast while watching a jousting competition.
Other area attractions include Gatorland, which claims to be the Alligator Capital of the World. Discovery Cove offers the opportunity for anyone over the age of six to swim with the dolphins, feed exotic birds, and snorkel with tropical fish. Indoor skydiving at IFLY allows you to experience the feeling of skydiving without need of planes or parachutes. Fantasy Surf in local Kissimmee, Florida, makes it possible to surf in a safe environment. Finally, amazing golf courses such as Hawk's Landing and Grand Cypress Resort offer 18 holes of fun!
There are many more things to experience in Orlando, and this list barely scratches the surface. Orlando truly does have an attraction for all visitors, which is exactly why it is continually ranked as one of the favorite vacation destinations in the world.

There are many ways to buy gold both electronically and physically. Which way you choose to purchase gold should depend entirely on why you are buying it. Let's explore the electronic and physical forms of gold investments and I think this will bring clarification as to which way to buy gold is right for you.
Electronic Gold
The different ways to buy gold electronically are: gold mining stocks, gold ETF's and options contracts. Be clear that if you purchase any of these options, unless you take delivery you do not actually own any gold. There are counterparty risks involved with electronic ownership. Here is a brief overview:
Mining Stocks
When you invest in stocks of gold miners you are indirectly participating in the price of gold. If the price of gold goes up that does not necessarily mean the company's stock with have a corresponding rise. The performance of the stock will have more to do with the performance of the company itself. However is gold rises then theoretically the company will be more profitable.
Gold ETF's
Gold Electronically Traded Funds are "backed by physical gold." They can be traded on the stock exchange and represent a share of the price of gold. They rise and fall in step with the price of gold. The advantage here is that you can play the volatility in the market without taking possession making it easy to buy and sell quickly. SPDR Gold Trust is the most popular but there are a few to choose from. Many experts speculate that ETF's are leveraged 100 to 1, meaning that if you and everyone else were to try to take delivery the ETF would not be able to deliver.
Gold Futures
Gold futures contracts are a bet on the price of gold going up or down, sell it short or go long. You can bet either side of the price fluctuation with the contract set at a specific date in the future. There is always a winner and a loser in this form of investment and should only be approached by an expert.
Physical Gold
There are two types of physical gold: bullion and gold coins with a rarity premium (old gold coins). There is no counterparty risk involved in owning physical gold and is the best way to own gold for the long-term. Here is an expanded look at both:
Gold Bullion
Gold bullion comes in coins and bars, but both are based on the spot price of gold plus a premium for being mined, minted and marketed. Bullion coins and bars go up and down correspondingly with the spot price of gold. Some examples of bullion coins are American Eagles and Canadian Maple Leafs. Bars are typically minted by private mints like Johnson Matthey and Engelhard and carry the lowest premium over spot as the manufacturing costs are low. Bullion is a great way to get exposure to gold at the lowest cost.
Numismatics are gold coins with a rarity premium, bought by both investors and collectors. These are typically gold coins minted prior to 1933 like the $20 Liberty and $20 Saint Gaudens. They are made of the same gold that modern issue bullion coins are, and the $20 versions contain .9675 ounces of gold, they are just minted a long time ago. As such they are rarer than modern coins and are therefore more valuable. The rarer they are the more valuable they will be. The reason an investor likes to buy these is for the premium play. Right now these coins are carrying some of the lowest premiums over spot than they have in 40 years. This gives extra leverage to the gold market, making higher profits possible.
There are benefits and downfalls to each category and type. With electronic gold you don't own physical gold so if an economic collapse occurs and you want physical gold, good luck trying to get it. Electronic gold comes with trading fees and storage fees over time (ETF's). Physical gold is heavy and risky to store, but the premiums are low over the long-term. Plus if there was an economic collapse you would have barter-able metal in your hands. Before you buy any of the types above ask yourself why am I buying gold and how long do I want to own it?

WIFI wasnt working or the signal was very poor

no hair dryer , low comfort of matress
Mould in the bathroom.
According to price its a good choice
Friendly, lovely room. Highly recommend.
Comfy. Good wifi. Good bed good shower. In a quiet area but close to everything. Nice cafe downstairs. Funky room theming. Stay here, it's great.
The brewed coffee at breakfast was the worst in the world. No really. The worst in the world. But they will make you a nice one with the coffee machine if you ask:)
Location and staff were great
Very basic room (twin) but did have all you need. Breakfast was a small plate of ham and cheese with toast.
Lovely friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are spacious with working air con. The hotel is very close to town centre and local aminities.
The room could have been cleaned and maintained to a better standard.
The owner was very helpful. Staff was kind and skillful. Location is good - city center is about 10 min away by foot.
We had some hard time to find a parking spot around the hotel. Breakfast needs upgrading. The fridge was not working properly.
Everything is made with great attention to detail. The sandwiches are excellent.
Unfortunately there is no elevator
I have to say right off, that this was the first hotel I have ever stayed in where I wanted to write my review before I have even left the lobby. Superb staff. Sweet cafe/reception. Great location.
That I had to leave.
The staff at the hotel were very helpful and tried to accommodate our needs
It would have been nice to have tea making facilities in the room - just a kettle and cups
limited parking, poor breakfast
Very near city center and I you are traveling buy train station is very near.
There was no hot water in my room. When calling to reception a man came my room and check termosifon . But problem is not solve so I could not take dus.
Verry friendly and helpfull staff. They helped to find a parking space. Best sandwishes in town Walking distance to main streets
The staff was very kind and helpful for everything. Parking right in front of the hotel. Breakfast is good.
The color of the room! Just kidding, anything was pretty fine.
The small restaurant English-pub like decorated. The breakfast was ok and the staff nice. Good location also, a 10 min walk to the center.
Our window had a back side view were lots of pigeons considered to establish the toilet. So we could not open the window to get fresh air. It's a small hotel with 2 floors and no elevator, so it's not suitable for someone with large luggage.
The location near the station was quite good
I didn't like being told 2 minutes after arriving at 12-10 pm when I had 2 heavy bags and it was raining that check-in time was 2-00 pm. I can understand when the hotel is full and have to be made up for the next guests but when the hotel has spare rooms it is ridiculously bureaucratic in such a small hotel. The bed was short and narrow and the TV sound was useless on some channels. There is no choice on the breakfast which is small.
Personal was very friendly and helpful, they speak English and Russian quite good. Location is near R/W station and the city beach. We still here in winter and room was quite hot, they put heater inside the room. Nice cafe on the ground floor. WiFi was good too.
The personal was friendly and they speak English.
This is a budget hotel suitable for one night or for a train travel (its situated at 400m away from railway station). Don't ruinate your holiday staying to this hotel. The breakfast is basic.
I've been here before, now they also have fresh home made sandwiches, very nice coffee, which are the best in whole Varna!
- Location is super convenient - Staff is nice and helpful - Rooms are not fancy but clean
- People smoke at the entrance, right below the guest rooms - No shower curtain
The hotel is located a short walk from the train station and there is a city bus which goes from the train station to the bus station, so it is easy to access the hotel when you arrive on public transportation. It is also close to most of the attractions in Varna. The wifi worked very well and there was an English language Euro News channel on the tv. We were upgraded to a deluxe room and it was quite nice. The staff was helpful and spoke English but waited until we had been there for a day before offering us a city map!
The breakfast was rather sparse, considering they run a cafe on the street level of this hotel. The first morning there was bread on the table and a toaster and we were presented with a plate consisting of a boiled egg, cucumber slices, a slice of yellow cheese and a slice of white cheese, two pats of butter, a packet of marmalade, and two pieces of a cold-cut meat. The second morning we were given toasted bread also as the toaster and bread were not placed on the table.
I have stayed before in the hotel, and they always keep on improving little small things, repainted the front, sun shield outside,new bar,... So always improving the place!
We were upgraded to a self-catering apartment, which was amazing. Everything was very clean, comfortable and the hotel is in a very quiet street. Parking was easy and directly outside.
This isn't really anything against the Three Dolphins, but unfortunately Varna is very disappointing. After exploring on foot for quite some distance around the town and beach, we found it to be dirty with derelict and broken buildings covered in graffii. The Three Dolphins seemed to be on the best little street.

What is missing in measures of Women's Empowerment?
AbstractThis paper argues that the Gender Empowerment Measure is an incomplete and biased index on women's empowerment, which measures inequality among the most educated and economically advantaged and fails to include important non-economic dimensions of decision-making power both at the household level and over women's own bodies and sexuality. After addressing in more depth the relevance and limitations of existent and potential indicators on women's empowerment in the political and economic spheres, this paper identifies and assesses potential indicators in those spheres currently absent in the Gender Empowerment Measure (household and individual dimensions). Finally, the paper stresses that empowerment is not primarily an outcome, but a process; as such, there are elements enabling or limiting it, such as — but not limited to — the legal and regulatory framework. Considering this, the construction of a new aggregated measure on the Gender Empowerment Enabling Environment of countries is suggested.

A little about myself... I write mostly science fiction and fantasy, usually somewhere between the two. No idea what my genre would be. Wizards in space! Or something like that. I strive to be helpful and some people have said my advice was helpful. Otherwise, I mountain bike play as much Frisbee as Saskatchewan summer allows and game in the spare minutes I have between everything else. Read as much as you can, write as often as you're able. Remember, writers make good books, but communities make GREAT books. //PROJECTS: Mirror Mirror Angel Home PROJECTS\\ //MUSIC Icon For Hire : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfu0kagxKaQ MUSIC\\ //CURRENTLY READING Empire of Ivory, Naomi Novik CURRENTLY READING// //QUOTE "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher.
