For Better or Worse: The Gentrification of Neighborhoods
One of our favorite neighborhoods to visit up in San Francisco is the Mission: back in the day, we used to work at 17th and Shotwell when it was very, very seedy (right behind the generic gas station and next to an alley where the crackheads used to pass out). Despite some unsavory characters here and there, we appreciated how colorful the neighborhood was. Over the years, this eclectic neighborhood has cleaned up a bit--for better and for worse. In fact, it reminded us a lot of some of LA's grittier neighborhoods losing its character in exchange for new condo buildings and live/work developments. What do you think of this exchange? Do you think it's possible for a neighborhood to retain its character and "clean up"?

I live in Venice, and I fear my desire for a safe neighborhood will be at the cost of culture-numbing gentrification. I personally hope there can be a balance!
I'm about 90% certain my friends live in that building (they rent). But don't worry. There are still drug dealers on 3 of the 4 corners.
I live in LA and have seen it change a lot in the past 10 years. Although I have fond memories of the "Character" of places like 42nd st in NY, I can understand why someone might not be willing to trade safety for a crackhead.
Well, I, for one, am all about gentrification. I don't think gentrification has to mean 'only for the elite', however...which the 500k to 700k price tag seems to assinuate. Why can't gentrification provide safe, comfortable housing for people who can only afford, say, a $150,000 condo? Or an apartment that rents for $800? I'm not a crackhead...I'm college educated and gainfully employed... yet I keep getting chased out of my neighborhoods by rising rents...the beautiful apartment I was able to rent for $770 a few years ago is now $1020 thanks to the plethora of $500k-$700K homes that went up around it...I can't afford that and therefore, am getting pushed INTO the crackhead neighborhoods! I guess the rich folk just don't want my kind! Just because I can't afford $1000 in rent doesn't mean I want drug dealers on my doorstep, either. We need to find a happy medium.
But the way I look at it, if we at least clean up the crackhead neighborhoods and make it so the crackheads can't afford (read: don't get enough benies from the government) to be there, maybe the smarter ones will clean up and get real jobs, and the not-so-smart ones will just.... fade away. Just because you are poor doesn't mean you have to make yourself a menace to society...Gangland is not "culture" or "character".
Well put KTG. There are so many social issues behind this that we need to take a look at.
It seems as of the past 5 or so years it does not matter where you live, (good or bad) neighborhood, you may get a gun put in your face.
I say clean up you neighborhood, add lights and make things better. If you have to walk 5 blocks to a subway or bus station and walk in fear, then what does old character really do for you.
One reason that neighborhoods don't retain their character through a gentrification process is because it's cheaper to tear down and build new than to preserve the old. This is the fabric of the neighborhood and it gets thrown out. Sometimes people remodel old homes, but when you get developers buying lots and wanting a big return on their money...it's condos baby.
Gentrification is a symptom of income inequality, you can't stop it without solving income inequality. Right now, cities are growing in income inequality. Mostly this is not due to increases in poverty but rather because professional class folks are growing in wealth and want to live in the city. Working class people are being forced to compete, and they can't.
If you want to save the character of your neighborhoods, maybe you should look into improving the character of rich people.
Agree, KTG. In the gentrification I've seen, there's nothing in place to keep people from being displaced, from being priced out of a neighborhood that means home to them. Instead, gentrification seems to be dominated by speculators, people who come into a neighborhood intent on making a profit off of a house whether by "improving" it and selling it after a few years or renting it out, raising property taxes.
Other problems I've seen:
decreasing density (fewer eyes on the neighborhood, more deserted, hurts public transit)
increasing costs so those who are lower income have to go further for basic necessities/affordable entertainment/restaurants
increasingly homogeneous and temporary residents
disenfranchisement of longer-term residents
*increased* crime because people don't take basic safety precautions plus there is the assumption of wealth
But this is Mpls, not LA that I'm observing. Who knows how similar the two are?
So explain to me the low income homes and housing throughout the US that have been remodeled and or fixed up and then a year or two later are in total disrepair and or look like crap?
I live in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I remember the days of stepping over crack vials and dime bags and being wary not to walk further East than Avenue B on any given day or night.
Gentrification set in and lo and behold, no more crack, dealers, prostitutes, crackheads, drunks, or dangerous people to run into any given hour. This is not a bad thing.
I do feel for the decent, hardworking folks that have been pushed out of the neighborhood. I was able to move here only because I made less than $39K a year back in 2001 when I applied for this H.D.F.C. apartment. I had to apply and get interviewed and have references, etc. This city should adopt the H.D.F.C. application and approval method in all these gentrifying neighborhoods so that the good folks (the honest, working poor and middle class) can stay and the baddies are the only ones having to look for housing elsewhere. Isn't that a more neighborly process?
TheoJ, I have no idea what your culture is but you, sir are no better than those that you decry.
Gentrification is often more like a "re-gentrification." Cities weren't always poor. Now that people with money want to live in the City again, there's a lot of bitching and moaning. No one was complaining when they moved out and rents collapsed enabling poorer people to move in. And, often, the "rich" white people moving in are just professionals who are looking for housing that they can afford, too. I'm sure I'm considered to be one of those people in my neighborhood, but I'm here because it's the best I could afford for now. Just like everyone else.
That's not to say that it isn't sad that people who are good citizens in their neighborhoods are forced out by high rents. Or that longstanding small businesses are forced out. That's a function of how development can work-the scale of redevelopment has to be large enough to turn a profit, because let's face it, developers aren't in the business of community service. There's no incentive for that. The trick is finding a way to incorporate some of the old into the new. How that's done, however, is another question.
KTG, I resent that you stated "you" throughtout your entire post, insinuating that I was somehow against what you were talking about. If you will go back and re-read what I wrote, you will see that you just restated everything I had said...we agree that gentrification shouldn't be pushing decent people out of their neighborhoods! i.e. why can't it mean $800 in rent instead of a 500k loft style condominium. Here in Chicago, rents have gone up astronomically since 2000, meaning lots of people, INCLUDING MYSELF, got displaced from their neighborhoods. I tried to move at my last lease renewal because I'm tired of how the people I live around don't care about the neighborhood and I'm tired of seeing cops all the time and I'm tired of people gathering in the parking lot for a drug deal so I can't go out to my car until they leave, but guess what? I couldn't afford anything! A neighborhood I could have lived in prior to 2000 has skyrocketed out of reach since the housing boom started, even with the recent decrease in housing prices! I am not talking about taxi drivers and maid service (I just started a cleaning service myself!) getting driven out...I am talking about driving out the crackheads and people who make neighborhoods dangerous for decent people! I honestly don't care where the crackheads end up! We don't owe them anything.
::So explain to me the low income homes and housing throughout the US that have been remodeled and or fixed up and then a year or two later are in total disrepair and or look like crap?::
Exactly! Agreed! You try to help someone and they don't take care of it. Oprah tried something once where she gave some 'needy' people brand new, beautiful places to live. She went back a year later and they had completely trashed the homes! Every single one of them. She actually kicked them all out and took the homes back since these people didn't appreciate what had been done for them. I'm all for affordable housing, but it doesn't have to mean giving nice homes to crackheads and prostitutes. Crackheads and prostitutes are very different from taxi drivers and cleaners.....I don't know why people tend to lump them together during discussions on gentrification.
geez guys, crackheads are people too. while that was a bit of a joke, i am really disgusted by the professed love of gentrification I see here. you are all seemingly adherents to the idea that poor people are inherently bad and choose to be criminals and drug addicts. poverty BREEDS criminal activity and addiction. stop blaming people for problems that you, lovely members of the Gentry, have imposed on these people in order to increase your monetary gains. when will people stop getting to the top by standing on those below them? you all disgust me.
no wonder this country is going down the toilet.
When I think of preserving local color, I don't think reminsciently about, "seedy (right behind the generic gas station and next to an alley where the crackheads used to pass out."
Gentrification, by definition, doesn't have to include crack dealers, pimps, and high crime. My old 'hood was solidly "working class," but the nearby university was out to change that. They bought up available retail space, and leased it (on the cheap) to 'desirable' businesses, ie coffee shops and gourmet sandwich places, slowly pushing out neighborhood delis and barber shops. Same went for housing, including several high-rise condos for non-students.
I benefitted from these neighborhood improvements as a grad student, but with rents climbing, I was up out when my course was done.
In some neighborhoods, the business that are there give it character.
People love that character and frequent the neighborhood because of it.
But then some idiots displace that which gave it character by making it generic (with chain stores and cookie cutter architecture).
Businesses that MADE the neighborhood desirable are forced to flee because of rising rents.
Neighborhood is destroyed, becomes another street with a (starbucks, gap, jambajuice, restorationhardware, you name it).
That kind of "gentrification" is just plain destruction.
OK, I think a big part of the problem here is that lots of people are looking at it backward. Yes, it's true that poverty *can* breed crime. But sometimes it's crime that attracts poverty. Say you start with a middle class neighborhood and suddenly take away the police force. Crime will increase. People who can afford to leave, do (white flight). No one wants to live in this neighborhood now, so property values decrease. The people left are the working class, who need the best deal on housing, and are stuck putting up with the crime.
But take a few enterprising businesses to buy up the cheap stuff and turn it into something trendy. They'll probably prod law enforcement back into the area to serve their interests. The rich find the area desirable again, buy up the property, and there's regentrification. (It doesn't always work this way; some neighborhoods don't 'make it.')
The problem here is law enforcement that's stronger in some areas than others. Police forces have finite resources and frequently can't contain all of the crime in their jurisdiction. The fact that containing some crimes may involve risking one's life is a further disincentive. So frequently, police look the other way when crimes are being committed in a certain area. This drives down the property values and that's where the working class ends up.
(I've left ethnicity out of this argument because I think the bigger problem is financial, although it's certainly not the whole problem.)
I feel like half of these comments imply that gentrification is a government program that forces poor people out of their homes. Gentrification is an organic process that is the result of many individuals making an effort to improve their property and neighborhood. Once a developer comes in and builds condos gentrification is over.

Warriors add veteran forward
The West Kelowna Warriors have added a veteran forward as the BC Hockey League trade deadline nears.
The Warriors acquired 20-year-old forward Daniel Gayle from the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League Wednesday.
In exchange for Gayle, the Warriors sent 18-year-old rookie forward Jetlan Houcher and future considerations to the Oil Barons.
Gayle had nine goals and 18 assists in 35 games with the Oil Barons this season.
Prior to joining the Oil Barons, Gayle spent two-and-a-half seasons in the Western Hockey League with Moose Jaw and Calgary.
In 162 games he had 24 goals and 46 assists.
Houcher played 35 games with the Warriors scoring five times and adding five assists.
The trade deadline for transactions between leagues is 6 p.m. Thursday. The deadline for trades within the BCHL is 8 p.m.
Deals made Thursday cannot be announced until Friday morning.
Prior to the deal for Gayle, Warriors head coach/GM Rylan Ferster said he was happy with his club but at the same time will listen to offers than will make his team better.
Ferster says he would have liked to see his team at full strength prior to the trade deadline, however, the team has battled injuries all season long with two and sometimes three top six forwards out at any one time.
Forwards Ambrose Firkus (wrist) and Brett McKinnon (concussion) and Brent Lashuk are all sidelined with no definitive timetable for their return.
Defenceman Adam Plant is also out with a concussion.
The Warriors will be back in action this weekend.
They host the Powell River Kings Friday at Royal LePage Place before travelling to Trail Saturday.
The Warriors are third in the Interior Conference, six points in back of second place Merritt and just a point better than fourth place Salmon Arm.

in Semi-Tropical California.
The Mission San Gabriel and its quadrangle of buildings made a beautiful picture. It nestled against distant hills, and neither stood out from the dim background nor entirely melted within it. It attracted the eye—this pink, yellow-gray of the little stone church crowned with dull-reddish tile, and supported by a bulwark of quaint buttresses. The picture was perfect—but since then the chill hands of both temblor and tempest have touched rudely the charm and blighted the pride of all of the California Missions—San Gabriel Archangel.
in Mission Tales in the Days of the Dons.
Obey my word, O Ten-ie-ya, and your people shall be many as the blades of grass, and none shall dare to bring war unto Ah-wah-nee. But look you ever, my son, against the white horsemen of the great plains beyond, for once they have crossed the western mountains, your tribe will scatter as the dust before the desert wind, and never come together again.
in Yosemite Legends.
San Juan, Aunt Phoebe, is one of the places where there is an old Mission. People in this country (California) think a great deal of them. I've remarked to Ephraim, "Many's the time," says I, "that the Missions seem to do more real good than the churches. They get hold of the people better, somehow. I'll be real glad to set me down in one, and I do hope they'll have some real lively hymns to kind of cheer us up."
in The Travels of Phoebe Ann.
In proper California fashion we made our nooning by the roadside, pulling up under the shade of a hospitable sycamore and turning Sorreltop out to graze. We drew water from a traveling little river close at hand, made a bit of camp-fire with dry sticks that lay about, and in half an hour were partaking of chops and potatoes and tea to the great comfort of our physical nature.
in A Pala Pilgrimage, The Travel Magazine.
Yellow-white the Mission gleamed like an opal in a setting of velvety ranges under turquoise skies. About its walls were the clustered adobes of the Mexicans, like children creeping close to the feet of the one mother; and beyond that the illimitable ranges of mesa and valley, of live-oak groves and knee-deep meadows, of countless springs and canyons of mystery, whence gold was washed in the freshets; and over all, eloquent, insistent, appealing, the note of the meadow-lark cutting clearly through the hoof-beats of the herd and the calls of the vaqueros.
in For the Soul of Rafael.

In Poe's dark forbidding night
When there can be no sight
Of the dangers lurking near
Of which there is much to fear.
But in the inner peace of Poe
With the scratch of pen, his words flow
Capturing his tortured thoughts in kind
A parable, to escape the world that binds,
To set him free to dream
Of that which is not as seem.
As he awaits the judgement day.

A threatening note left in a boys' bathroom caused district officials in Spencer, Iowa to let high school students out early Thursday.
Students were dismissed at 2:30. Parents were able to pick their children up. Students without a ride or who take the bus went to the middle school and had to wait for class to be dismissed there.
The exact wording of the note is unknown at this time, but school officials tell The Daily Reporter that it threatened students and faculty.
The threat remains under investigation.

Comfort out of the box, ultralight and feel amazing. The forward traction is second to none in snow, on dry and wet dirt, sand etc. Breathable and speedlace is awesome.
- Traction
- Lightweight
- Comfortable
- Breathable
- Speedlacing is epic
- Cushioning
- Downhill traction
- Snow is a problem
I was replacing my worn trail runners which I use mainly for backpacking trips with maybe 200 miles on them. The Speedcross 3 looked too low profile, like there wasn't enough cushioning, but looks are deceiving. They felt better than most of the bulkier style shoes on the shelf.
I add Superfeet footbeds to all my hikers and the standard footbed was so thin and smooth, I actually threw it on top of my SF because it just felt so good. lol. It also helps air out soles when needed since you have a spare set.
That takes me to the recent trip in Sequoia where I ended up for 5 days in the snow racking in 30 miles with 45lb. pack. Wishing I had waterproof boots or gaiters, but ya. The forward traction was like velcro. Watched two others with trail runners sliding here and there and I was walking up walls. Snow, dirt, rock, granite, mud, ice all handled with ease. A little slick on wet smooth rock and wet barkless tree crossings, but that's it.
The lacing is awesome, and even when loose all the way, the laces never touch the ground keeping them clean and dry. No loose dangling laces ever again. There's a little tab that allows you to use as a one finger handle to open the small pocket that houses the toggle and lace itself when tightened. Fast and easy, and never had laces loosen like some claimed.
Being in snow, I wish I had a waterproof version, but they aren't made for snow and I rarely backpack in it anyways. They do dry fast because of the same breathability that allows moisture in so that's a plus. The downhill traction is not as good as uphill, and I think they need to throw a few reverse chevron lugs into the front 60% of the bottom to fix this.
Overall the best trail running shoe I've found and I would highly, and I mean highly recommend for your dirt hikes or backpacking adventures.
This shoe is well designed, comfortable, and tough!

This shoe is well designed, comfortable, and tough! The colors are garish but soon get covered by mud.
- The quick lace system can eliminate tight spots and is self correcting for the most part.
- The tread has performed well on all sorts of central KY surfaces
- The overall design and materials are of high quality
- The shoe is a tad narrow (or my feet are a tad wide)
- The colors can be outlandish
- I personally don't like the arch inserts
So I've had these shoes for about two months and put ~40 miles on them. So far they are faring very well! I had some concerns about the stretchy material used for the upper but it is holding up much better than previous shoes of the same construction. I used Trailspace to find a discounted pair, and I found the ugliest color pattern for a whole $60 below zappos prices!
The first step (for me with wide feet and high arches) was to replace the insoles with my own, with higher arches. After that they were good to hit the dirt! I was transitioning from a Salomon XA 3D Ultra 2 CS (mouthful!) and the speedcross took some getting used to. The soles aren't as rigid as the XA 3D, and the heel drop feels lower promoting a midfoot stride.
The first run gave me a slight toe pain, but nothing after the first run. So far they are incredibly comfortable, with very few long distance pains (no numbness or heel rub). I swear the quiklace system is self-correcting. Thus far the shoes have had to perform over mud, hills, forest detritus, and now grass as it grows. The lugs keep good traction in all but the sloppiest mud and even do well on stones when I hop the creeks.
I haven't had any extremely hot weather yet and when there's snow I use my XA 3d's still, so no report yet on breathability. The laces are a cinch to use and a great advantage to the shoe, I wish all brands used them! So far all the seams and sole are holding fast, nothing looks like it's degrading. This is good since I run through horse pastures and there's the inevitable excrement, which I've heard is tough on the glue used in shoes.
All in all I'd recommend the shoe, especially at the prices Trailspace has listed!
Thanks for sharing your review, Colin. I'm glad to know Trailspace's info helped you find these at a reasonable price.

Price Paid: $110
These shoes are ridiculous! I have run on snow and ice, mud, gravel and even felt secure on slippery rock. I love the speed laces. My only regret with my purchase was I didn't buy more than one pair. Excellent trail runner.
- Speed laces
- Superior traction
- Look really badass
- The soles seemed to wear faster than I would have liked, but I have worn them at least 5 times a week for 2 years.
I bought these for trail running, and I got so much more. These are my go-to all around outdoor shoe. They are super light, extremely comfortable and the traction is Spiderman like. They have excellent room in the toe box, perfect arch support and look...well, they scream "look, I'm badass."
I seriously love these shoes. I am debating on what color my next Salomon Speedcross 3's will be.

Former Judge: South Carolina Outlawing Obamacare Could Be First of ManyDecember 23, 2013
South Carolina is poised to outlaw Obamacare in their state very soon. The bill has already soared through their House and the Senate is prepared to pass it next month.
Essentially, what the law would do is make it illegal for any of the state's resources or personnel to implement any portion of Obamacare, including setting up a state health care exchange. Congress can pass all the laws it wants, but it cannot compel states to use their own money and manpower to execute them. If other states joined in, Obamacare would collapse because the federal government does not have the resources to go into every state to try and make up for the lack of state's help.
While Georgia prepares for similar legislation, Judge Andrew Napolitano, the senior judicial and political adviser for Fox News, says that South Carolina will be a "test case."
NewsMax reports:
"South Carolina will present a test case: Will the feds come into South Carolina and set up their own exchange at their own expense?" Napolitano, senior judicial analyst for Fox News, told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"They could probably afford to do it in South Carolina, but if other states, like … New Jersey, were to do that, if [Gov.] Chris Christie had the fortitude, I don't think the feds could afford it," Napolitano added.
He said while South Carolina cannot stop its residents from signing up for Obamacare, it can prohibit its government employees from "cooperating with establishing or enforcing [the law]."
"If enough states did that, that would seriously gut the president's ability to enforce Obamacare in the state," Napolitano said.
He said South Carolina's gamble is possible because the Supreme Court struck down a law ordering states to establish and pay for their own insurance exchanges.
"The Supreme Court said … if you want exchanges in the states, you, Congress, have to pay for them. So Congress basically said to the states, OK, you help us set this stuff up and we'll pay for it," Napolitano said.
"If the states refused to help the federal government set it up, the federal government simply does not, believe it or not, have the resources to set it up," he said.
Here's the video:
Obamacare is crashing and burning. South Carolina has a strategy that would mitigate the disaster, and while their tactic is constitutional, it is unprecedented; so, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
In the meantime, it is important to encourage other states to follow their lead and fight back. You can help by sharing this article with your friends, family, and state representatives.

How to Make a Girl Fall in Love With You Fast
There is a myth that you cannot make someone fall in love with you, This simply is not true. As much of love comes down to psychology, if you use psychology you will learn how to make a girl fall in love with you.
1Show her that you have vision. Think about why we elect officials to government office: we believe they will lead our community in the right direction. You do the same in a relationship with a woman – you are the leader. This is the foundation of dominance. You must have goals, hobbies, values, and rules you live by. Be clear on who you are.Each type is looking for different things, but don't change – if you are self-directed, you can fulfill every woman's basic need for leadership, or dominance. But be conscious of which aspects of your personality you emphasize. This is basically conversational topic choice – calibrate by relating to her the values you both share. Each type has her own preference for how a man expresses his vision.Ad
2Get her to "invest" in you. Leverage a woman's inclination to contribute, through supporting you. Ask for her help with everything you can think of, including massages, back scratches,bringing you sentimental gifts from her vacation, and introducing you to her friends. All these examples keep her mind, and thus emotions, occupied with you. Get her to tell you her biggest fears and past embarrassments. Have her cook for you.The more she invests, emotionally and physically, the more she is bound to you. The more she is bound to you, the more she'll do for you. The more she does for you, the more invested, thus bound she is to you, and so on. Also,the busier she is contributing to you, the less time and energy she has for other men. Each type has a unique identity, which determines how she wants to contribute. When you understand how she wants to contribute – what she values in herself – you can leverage this to exact a high degree of investment.
3Always have potential. Never be sold. As soon as YOU are devoted, she won't be. The cultural myth is that when a man devotes himself to a woman, she will be nice and reciprocate. The true nature of humanity is that when you devote yourself to someone, they are then free to gain someone else's devotion – as if you are checked off a psychological list. Devotion is perpetual service, mental and physical.The key to applying the principle of perpetual potential is to find the balance between bonding without succumbing to a woman's attempts to lock you down into monogamy before you are ready. And even when you decide to be with one woman exclusively, you must still keep the dynamic of potentiality.Always convey that although you like her and are happy with her, she must still contribute and keep you excited. This is really easy when you are able to meet women at will – in the back of your mind, and hers, is the possibility that you can meet someone else if you are no longer satisfied. The same is true in reverse, but like I said, you must not concern yourself with her leaving you,because you are the most important person in the relationship. You now know much more about how to make a girl fall in love with you, see the sources section to learn even more.Ad

AMAZING: The Black Woman who wrote the Matrix and Terminator, finally gets recognition for her work!
"After a six year dispute, prolific writer and profound spiritualist, Sophia Stewart has received justice for copyright infringement and racketeering and will finally recover damages from the films, The Matrix I, II and III, as well as The Terminator and its sequels. Yes, you heard that correctly – the entire Matrix & Terminator franchises, and her suspected pay off is expected to be the highest in history – an estimated 2.5 billion.
Her case is a true landmark, and far too uncommon as countless creatives are exploited by the snake-like dealings of the movie industry. Here's a recap of her triumphant journey by way of George2.0:
"Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she felt had been based on her manuscript, 'The Third Eye,' copyrighted in 1981. In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers, requesting new sci-fi works.
According to court documentation, an FBI investigation discovered that more than thirty minutes had been edited from the original film, in an attempt to avoid penalties for copyright infringement. The investigation also stated that 'credible witnesses employed at Warner Brothers came forward, claiming that the executives and lawyers had full knowledge that the work in question did not belong to the Wachowski Brothers.' These witnesses claimed to have seen Stewart's original work and that it had been 'often used during preparation of the motion pictures.' The defendants tried, on several occasions, to have Stewart's case dismissed, without success.
Can't believe this is the first I'm hearing of this. Interesting….
Update: Apparently this story is not true; Stewart did sue but lost her case in 2005. Apologies for passing it on before checking it out… get the scoop here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/matrix.asp or here: http://www.pamil-visions.net/urban-legends-busted-sophia-stewart/27827/ or do some more research (like I should have done before reblogging!).

Attention everyone! I've got breaking news! There is no cure for the common cold. No, really, there is absolutely 100% no cure. Want some more grand news? Nothing really works to get rid of a cold or shorten the duration of it.
You and I may have know this in some realm of out subconscious, but we still head to the Walgreen's to grab something, anything to try to ease our symptoms. The over-the-counter cold and cough meds, echinacea, Vitamin C, tea, garlic, zinc lozenges, well, really none of them do anything. They kinda do diddly-squat. Together, we spend $4.2 billion a year on diddly-squat.
Even Nana's chicken soup just tastes good -- no real proof it cures the sniffles. Sure, using some of these could make you think you feel better, but really the only thing that helps get over a cold is time.
You realize what this means, don't you? If there's no cure for the common cold, that means there's no cure for the man cold.
I was holding out hope. Not because of my good-natured spirit. Not like on some beauty pageant where I'm hoping for world peace and a cure to the common cold. My inner Mother Teresa is nowhere to be seen.
I just hate dealing with my sick husband. He sniffles and coughs. He whines. He hacks weird colored icky things into the sink and leaves his tissues everywhere. He whines some more. He takes 5 baths a day to "sweat it out" and some how forgets the ability to do basically do anything except watch Mike & Mike reruns on his laptop. He whines some more ... and then mopes.
I don't like to see him sick, but, hel-lo, he just has a friggin' cold.
Of course, I would have a heart if he was really sick. But he doesn't. He has some boogies and his head hurts. I say suck it up. When I get a cold, I still manage to get our daughter to school, to remember pack sneakers for soccer class, to buy the gift for the 19th birthday party this month we have to go to on the weekend, to order th groceries, to send his mom flowers for her birthday.
Why is it that my husband is a such sucky sick person? I blame DNA. I find solace when talking to other women, that I am not alone. That it is somehow part of the male gene, to be wonderful in so many ways, yet the worst patients ever.
Alas, the man cold is here to stay. There is no cure. Sadness.
Is your husband worse than your kids when he has the sniffles?
Image via kalleboo/Flickr
My husband is off the charts worse than the kids when sick.. When he coughs he looks like he is having a seizure.. I kid you not.. Falls over in exhaustion right after... God forbid ANYBODY else in the household(or neighbor/state)get sick and he hear about it.. He will have the SAME symptoms(doesn't matter if it's a rare disease or common cold)within 24hrs of hearing about it...
Most wives are motherly when their husbands get sick.. Me...I want nothing more than to crawl under a rock with a LARGE bottle of rum until he is miraculously better again!
men are such babies! my hubbys last cold he was in bed for 3 days straight and i had to feed him soap and make warm tea and baby him while i was still taking care of our 1 year old dd!!! i swear he is just like another kid!!!
My husband... I don't know where to start. If it's not a terrible, "excrutiating" pain in his tummy that miraculously goes away when one of his buddies wants to hang out, it's his hypochondriac self complaining about every little joint and muscle that twitches.
Granted, once or twice it's been real. But it's gotten to where I just roll my eyes and fade out when he starts complaining about what hurts this week and how he is convinced it's some obscure disease he looked up on the internet.
I love the man, but give me a break! Like you said, when I'm sick I manage to get through my day JUST FINE. Aren't they supposed to be the stronger sex? I don't want to baby my husband every day over a wittle tummy ache.
I'm not your mommy, I'm your wife! Unless you're going to drop everything to baby me when I feel under the weather, get up and suck it up!
You had to feed him soap?? I guess soup ?? That looks so cute to see it like that..!!!!!!
HaHaHa-In our house I admit it's role reversal-Colds always hit me worse-and maybe part of the "whine" on my end stems from all the years I lived on my own,sucked it up and had no one to "whine" to (LOLOLOLOL)
Granted-I whine but I still cook and clean up-when he's sick,he may not whine but he surely isn't up and about as I am...
My husband, I'm very grateful to say, is such a trooper. He goes to work no matter how sick he is. He gets horrible, vomit inducing migraines and still pushes through until he absolutely needs to go lie down and get some quiet and darkness until his head lets up. The RARE times when he is so sick he has to stay in bed and needs a little tending to I have no problem giving him that.
I hate to admit it but I am whinier when I get a cold than my husband is when he gets one. He sucks it up when he is sick. I hit the couch and do the very minimum it takes to keep the household running.
I'm with Heather on this one. I got lucky with a boyfriend who doesn't complain much when he's sick. Now, when I'm ill, I turn into a real butthead and he never complains.
I'm so lucky that my husband almost never gets sick. He has a super strong immune system. Call me old fashioned, but I actually like taking care of him when he does get sick. Probably because I have to do it so rarely.
And he always repays the favor. In fact, he takes care of me way more than I do him. I have a condition that causes me to be in pain a lot of the time, so when I'm having one of my "bad days" he is there in a second to make sure I have everything I need, cooks me food, and takes care of our son.
But now we are living in different cities. This makes me miss him really bad now :(

Excited for Homeland. Predictions (possible spoilers):
by American Mythos
The man who made Brody's suicide vest is going to bite it tonight. After picking apart the promo, it's pretty clear that's who Brody is chasing through the woods and putting in a shallow grave. I can't wait to see the beginnings of Carrie's vindication, provided Saul makes it out of Beirut alive. I hope they don't pull some contrived bullshit that sees the great Mandy Patinkin perish before he can reveal the truth.
Oct. 14, 2012, 4:19 a.m. CST
There's no way they would (could) do that.
by Truxton Spangler
Even for shock value (recalling this show springs from the loins of 24ers). The Saul/Carrie relationship is one of the best parts of the series. And Patinkin actually appears to like being on this show....for now.

And 60 Minutes has morphed into a lame entertainment news show. Very disappointing. Sunday programming is pretty threadbare except for The Walking Dead.

How can that character ruin the show for you? In season 2, he was pretty much nonexistent.

Vacantly Staring Black Guy is the best addition to the adaptation of Walking Dead.
by Metroid_Fetish
Crossbow Hillbilly, however, is a racist stereotype of southern culture and should be removed from the show immediately.

Comic Book Men is a serious undercover investigation into a child pornography ring.

Dear writers of OUaT
by thepoohguy
Under no circumstances should you take any consideration from the Heroes playbook. You are making us believe that Regina may want to give up her evil ways a la Syler. This was a bad mistake because then they had written themselves into a corner and didn't know if they wanted him to be good or bad and couldn't make up their minds. It was bad for that show, and it will be bad for this one if you do the same thing with Regina. Thanks for listening.

Poor Mentalist. Idiot move to Sunday.

Sucks that comic book men is one so damn late
by Redhead_Redemption
seriously AMC, do you really need to run WD twice back to back? Just put CBM on at 9:30 followed by WD at 10 then talking dead at 11...repeat those three again at 11:30 for the west coast

The problem with comic book men is that everyone's a douchebag

Loved Once Upon A Time tonight!
by Paul
Great introduction of Lancelot and reintroduction of Regina's Mom. Sad that the Princes Mom died. Curious how Emma and Snow are going to be able to return. Looks like were going to get a bunch of villians in Storybrooke though to replace Regina now that she may be going good with Hook, Prince Charmings Father and Cora. I bet though that they are going to use Cora a lot like they use Lionel in Smallville as a way of turning Regina back to evil just like how Lionel did. I just hope that if that happens that they truely kill Cora, because reforming Lionel in Smallville was the worst thing that they did, good Lionel was horrible. But Regina's turn to good seems a tiny bit more believeable.

Hey lana lang long time no see
by Paul
hope that your doing well. Just a piece of advice, I know that you may not like a bunch of shows on TV, but theres a lot of people who do and it only causes problems and is a little hurtful to people to have you come in and declare that all these shows are horrible. You might want to keep those types of thoughts to yourself. With all respect. I hope that you have had a wonderful summer and that a lot of great things happened to you and will happen.

you're wrong about copper and homeland. these shows have real depth, suspense and drama. dexter is starting off on a really good footing this year, and i haven't felt that way about this show in two seasons. deb finding out her bro's secret adds a whole new level of suspense to the show

Oh, my tremendously talented teacher of tastes. Yesterday I did some salsa dancing with a woman. She was very graceful. All the while I kept thinking: "I hope she has the brains of I_love_lanalang." But alas, she did not. You are one in a billion, more worth than a trillion and on the scale of 1 to 10 you are a centillion. Be well, my divine doe-eyed diva of dizzyingly distinguished decorum.

Love Sunday TV. Really liking Dexter so far this season. Waiting for Dexter to tell Deb all of his kill history...
by happybunni
And for her to go "HOLY FUCK". I'm surprised she hasn't asked yet... Hopefully she will. I mean her department is chasing down all of these murderers that Dexter has already killed. 666 is good, Once Upon a Time is good, Walking Dead is good... I have no time to watch whatever else is on Sunday, really enjoying the shows I have already.

Paburrows_Rises - It's a pleasure to hear from you again.
by I_Love_LanaLang
Thank you for your kind words. You're a nice guy. You're right. I should be more circumspect when commenting on shows that I dislike. It's just that I get so frustrated after essentially being away for several months. When I finally get home, there's not much on tv that catches my interest. I realize it's not the end of the world, but I wish there was more quality programming out there. I hope you and your wife are enjoying yourselves and your lives are filled with love. Best Wishes, -Lana

JP1 - I don't think I'm wrong about Copper or Homeland.
by I_Love_LanaLang
I've heard that Homeland is supposed to be a great show, but I found it to be rather by-the-numbers boring. Copper was an instant turn off for me. Very drab. Dexter was kind of fun the first 2 seasons, but it's a gimmick show, and that gimmick has become quite stale.

Bopnrumble - I'm upset that you were dancing with another woman!
by I_Love_LanaLang
But I, of course, forgive you because the rest of your post was classic Bopnrumble brilliance. While it's true I was not on the dance floor with you, I have performed many soutenus in my mind accompanied by your beautifully balletic belle-lettres . Don't forsake me for the salsa woman!
Oct. 15, 2012, 11:44 a.m. CST
Homeland's plotting doesn't always hold water but it's a cool show anyway
by I am_NOTREAL
Seriously, an international terrorist organization gets somebody into the US Congress...and they send him to taxi a guy to a safe house??? There's nobody else who could do that??? But the acting is great and they do a nice job building very convincing tension, even with the more eye-rolling plot points it all feels more real than 24, which always seemed like a comic book to me.
Oct. 15, 2012, 12:51 p.m. CST
by Bop N Rumble
Oh, my blissful ballerina of beautiful ballads. I could never forsake you. The salsa woman could never steal my heart, because you already stole it. She couldn't carry your bra, let alone your intellectual baggage.You and I are meant for each other. We are both of the breed called sexual intellectual. I want to gaze into your eyes and feel your soul, nibble on your neck, and massage your sole. Let me gasp for air when you hold me tight, later on I'll be your guiding light. Sleep tight, my scintillating goddess of the night.

I like how Carrie dolled herself up
by Itchy
so she'd look good when they found her. She really has to be completely nuts because she conveys schizo with ever fiber of her being. She's exactly the kind of nut job I'd bang at a college party back before I realized how draining with those kind of people is.

Patinkin left Criminal Minds in 2007, when Howard Gordon was still working on 24. Homeland started in 2011. There is no connection between these two events, unless he can see into the future.

Yeah, it was kinda silly to send such a prized asset
by Truxton Spangler
to do grunt work. But it did serve an an effective, if not the most logical, plot device.

itchy, Carrie dolled herself up because she was planning to go get laid...
by American Mythos
That's why she put on a wedding ring. In season one, the wedding ring was to telegraph to men she only wanted sex, not anything serious. She was planning to go out, but literally decided to just stay home and off herself.
Oct. 16, 2012, 8:25 a.m. CST
by Itchy
that wasn't the impression I got ... didn't see any clues she was headed out. Just figured she wanted to look good when they found her. Either way, it works - she's nuts. I was expecting Saul to come over at the last second a save her - even better they way they wrote it. Really illustrates her bipolar swings.
Oct. 16, 2012, 1:07 p.m. CST
You thought she got dressed up for her suicide? Wow. This show may be too subtle for you.
by dahveed1972
Oct. 16, 2012, 1:08 p.m. CST
the fact that you thought she would do that means you really really dont get her character at all. try watching with other people so they can explain stuff maybe.

last season I was getting impatient. then I picked up a compendium of the comics, and saw the Tyrese character, and realized there's only about a 1 in 260 chance that the original though was not transforming Tyrese into this ball-less wonder. when Michonne showed up, I realized I'd hit a crux point. That the most likely progression now was either killing T-Dawg or allowing him to remain a eunuch, then have Michonne shack up with a white guy (as opposed to Tyrese). nd realize that if they did that, the show is dead to me. I am sick of this shit. mother show that is very close to losing me is "Criminal Minds" with the Derek, gorgeous black profiler never having had a relationship, and now they're implying he screwed the fat white chick. her natural equal is the geeky guy, who is not even close to Derek in any way. lets just say the idea gags me, and leave it at that. If they go there, I'm done.
Oct. 16, 2012, 3:08 p.m. CST
I wonder what role the Vice President will have in allowing or not allowing Carrie and Saul to bring down Brody...
by American Mythos
We know that the VP has serious presidential aspirations. We know that he and Estes are "company men" and good friends. And the VP has at least floated Brody's name as a potential running mate. So outing Brody as a terrorist could have serious political implications for the VP, none too good for his future. I wonder if he'll try to convince Estes to hinder Saul's investigation, forcing Saul and Carrie to go off the reservation to bring down Brody themselves. In the interest of national security of course. The downside of that plot path would be risking the show becoming a little too cartoonish like 24.
Oct. 16, 2012, 7:34 p.m. CST
if the vp finds out about brody
by jsfithaca
he'll probably want him killed, and framed on the terrorists or another third party. this way he protects national security and protects himself politically.

LOL, i_love_lanalang
by Tim
You wish there was more quality programming out there, yet you like Walking Dead? Great contradiction right there. Boardwalk Empire and Homeland and two of the finest shows of all time. Dexter is not so bad either. Not to mention all the shows that are still in progress but not on the air right now, and this is pretty much one of the best eras of television ever. And what's funny is, if you enjoy shitty acting and poorly drawn characters like TWD offers, you should have a limitless amount of garbage to watch. Step up your tastes, man.
Oct. 17, 2012, 2:58 p.m. CST
This was the first bad episode of Homeland
by Keith
SPOILERS And it makes me worry that the show is going to fall apart. Episode 1 made me wonder if the writers were going to have to use contrivance after contrivance to make things work given the climactic resolution of season 1. Episode 2 almost alleviated those concerns (a great episode in many respects), and yet the final scene, although incredibly dramatic, seemed to be painting the plot into a corner. Episode 3 was the sum of all fears: contrivance, coincidence, contrivance, coincidence. Brody having to collect the tailor did not flow organically from any part of the existing story: it was asserted, and it felt stupid and wrong. Then: crazy bad luck! The tire blows. Then: crazy bad luck! The guy falls on a piece of metal that happens to be sticking out of the ground in the woods. (Huh? Why?) And rather than bruising his ribs, it goes straight through him, because people in movies and TV shows are made of paper. Then right at the end, the writers lazily want to take us back to the jealous love triangle between Brody, Jessica and Mike. Really bad stuff. Right now the series feels on the verge of being broken, the way that The Killing clearly did by the second or third episode of season 2.

Harry Reid to Reporter: 'That's a Clown Question, Bro'
Just awesomeness from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in response to whether or not Democrats in the U.S. Senate will force another vote on the DREAM Act to make Republicans "go on the record" about immigration. Here's why it's a clown question: The GOP has filibustered it twice already.
I think they're on the record regarding immigration and the DREAM Act.

I fell in love with my wild growth as a very, very nice raiding healing tool. I would be sad to see this go, only healing 5 around me every 6 seconds? I dont see a point. Wild growth got nerfed a lot in the PTR realm, and there is really no mana efficiencywhen spamming it. Increase the mana, lower the healing. But making a CD on it will make it completely worthless. Its like situational at best for 5man if it comes down to that. Youve got me to stop spamming lifebloom on the entire raid, and involved rejuv/wild growth. I feel currently the resto in PvE healing is fine atm.

If I had the words to speak of a new beginning,
I would crawl inside that inspiration and cry the tears that elude me,
I sometimes wonder if my daughter will know the horror of a soul that won't cry,
I hope not, I hope she knows nothing but sadness and joy,
I once dreamed of a Christmas morning adorned with all of my friends and family laughing
to the sounds of Earth, Wind, and Fire.
And soon that may come.
But now, I see dreams just beyond my reach,
And hopes that look impossible,
This sorrow is a wondrous antidote to the horror of my refracted consciousness screaming
that I am hell bound,
For I may never know the joy of dreams fulfilled,
But in the meantime, I feel God's tears pitter patting on my window sill,
And I leave my window open, so that he knows I'm listening.

411 Mania Interview: Matthew Lillard
Posted by
Tony Farinella
on 10.09.2012
411's Tony Farinella sits down with Matthew Lillard (Trouble with the Curve, The Descedants) for an exclusive interview about his directorial debut in Fat Kid Rules the World!
Matthew Lillard is becoming quite the serious actor these days with his dramatic turns in Trouble with the Curve and the Descendants. Not only is he acting in serious films, he also directed one in Fat Kid Rules the World, based on the Young Adult novel by K.L. Going. Recently, I caught up with the actor/director to talk about his career, Fat Kid Rules the World, and even some NBA basketball. Fat Kid Rules The World, opens in NY on October 5th, in LA on October 12th, and will be available on October 25th on VOD. There is also a YouTube link which includes the entire interview if you are interested in listening to the audio.
Matthew Lillard:
Who is this?
Hi, Matthew. This is Tony Farinella from 411mania.com. How you doing?
Matthew Lillard:
Hi, Tony. I'm tired. I'm fucking exhausted. I drank too much two nights in a row.
Well, thanks for doing this interview even though you're tired. I appreciate it.
Matthew Lillard:
Glad to be here. I'm happy to do it. It makes a huge difference in our life, in the life of our movie so I appreciate you doing it. I shouldn't drink so much the night before we talked.
What lessons have you learned from other directors that you've worked with that you used on this film?
Matthew Lillard:
What lessons? I learned a lot from every director. I've been acting since I was thirteen. I'm forty-two years old. I've basically learned lots from the directors I've worked with over the years. In terms of don't do this or do that, nothing specific. I was trying to explain it to somebody recently. It's a little like
Slumdog Millionaire
when you don't realize you're learning something and all of a sudden you're applying what you subsequently learned years ago. It's an amalgamation of all my experiences. The actor I am, the man I am defines the director I've become, so it's a little piece of everyone. You learn stuff from Alexander Payne's ideas to collect options like Kurosawa. That sticks with me. The way Wes Craven can lead people to try to be great and be a quiet leader. You get things from everyone. Raja Gosnell on
Scooby Doo
showed me the monitor to see what wasn't working and ask me how to fix it. The idea of including actors in the process, I got that from Raja. You're just a piece of everyone.
In terms of this script, was there something in particular that resonated with you and made you want to do it?
Matthew Lillard:
Yeah. I'm that guy. It's called
Fat Kid Rules the World
, but it has nothing to do with somebody being fat. Everyone, at some point in their life, feels like they don't belong, that they're on the outside looking in. I was that kid in high school. I had a severe learning disability, braces and glasses, and was overweight, a heavy kid. I sucked at football and I was terrible at math. I ended up in drama class because they accepted me and found something that I was good at and found something that I loved. To me, that's what happens in this movie and that's what drew me to it. I loved the idea that Troy Billings is a kid that's lost and about to kill himself and finds punk rock music and it saves his life.
You mentioned all these things you went through when you were growing up. Because of that, does it make what's happened to you now that much more satisfying?
Matthew Lillard:
No, not really. I don't look back on those things with negativity. They made me who I am, the man I am, and I like who I am. What makes it satisfying is having a career that I love, being able to call myself an artist after thirty years in this business and seeing myself doing it for the rest of my life. That's what gives me joy, really, not rising from the ashes, so to speak.
I recently had a chance to see
Trouble with the Curve
, which I loved, by the way. I thought it was a beautiful, quiet film with great performances, great moments of comedy. I want to ask you, working on this film with Clint Eastwood, and you mentioned Alexander Payne, working with George Clooney, they are two terrific actors, but they also have great screen presence. They have this certain aura about them. What was that like, for you, working with those two fantastic actors?
Matthew Lillard:
The fantastic actor part, always a privilege. You're working with guys that are going to bring their A-game and you're basically working in stuff that you know people are going to see. Certainly with
, you realize you're on a script that's fantastic and same with
. You realize you're going to be a part of something that's a really good movie. In terms of a screen presence, the first time you meet Clint Eastwood, you realize clearly enough that he's just a normal guy, same with Clooney. Having being around for a long time, the fame aspect isn't nearly as interesting as the acting aspect. If you're going to be in a scene with Clooney, especially in that moment in that movie, you know he's going to bring his game and that's what's exciting; more so than the idea of hanging out with a screen presence.
It's interesting that you mentioned that because I talked to Josh Lucas a couple of weeks ago and he was telling me how having a kid has really changed what he wants out of Hollywood. He's much more interested in good stories, good screenplays that are going to resonate with people as opposed to fame, because that's the least satisfying part of his job. What has that been like for you, to be a part of films like
Trouble with the Curve
The Descendants
, and
Fat Kid Rules the World
, where you have a connection with it and it really means something to you?
Matthew Lillard:
Fat Kid
certainly. The other movies, I'm a gun for hire. Make no mistake, that was
Terminator 15
Aliens 17
. As an actor, if I have a great part in a great story and a great director, I'm in. If it's positive and reinforcing to families, that's great, too, but if it's violent and I can get to play a killer, that's awesome. I don't really judge those things. As a filmmaker, I'll tell you right now, if I could direct
, that's what I want to do. I want to be that guy. If I could do
Iron Man
, if I could be Jon Favreau, I wouldn't mind telling any of those big stories. I like being an independent filmmaker. It's been a great experience, but the reality is I really want to make big movies.
With these big movies, it seems like the story is such a big part of it, the heart and the soul of the story.
Matthew Lillard:
(laughs) I don't think that's true. I don't think there is a heart and soul to the big movies. I think that's the problem with big movies.
Certain movie big movies can have it. The good big movies have it is what I'm trying to say.
Matthew Lillard:
Yes, that is true. If you look at
, we ended up doing well because we platformed it, but the difference between
Trouble with the Curve
is crazy. But I agree with you. Yes, sorry, go ahead, continue.
Is there something in particular that you're looking for now with scripts?
Matthew Lillard:
I'm looking for a great script. That would be fantastic. I'm looking for a script that I can score in, that it's worth spending two years of your life on. I mean, that's what I'd love to find. It's hard. Our industry's changed so much. Not many people are making movies and if they're making movies, generally they're going to guys that make movies. If you have a film that's a go, it's so rare and they're so hard to get them that even big directors are doing smaller movies now. There's nobody making movies. If there is an open directing assignment in general, those scripts aren't that great. It's an interesting time as a filmmaker. It's an interesting time trying to break into the industry in a different way.
I had a chance to listen to you on the ESPN 710 Podcast with the Kamenetzky Brothers talking about how you're a big fan of the Clippers. Now that the Lakers have all these pieces, does that make you hate the Lakers even more?
Matthew Lillard:
More, I hate them more. I despise them more. I hate them more. The better they get, the more I want to crush that team.
What is it like …
Matthew Lillard:
So hateful of the Lakers, so hateful of the organization, all they do is win? It's easy. That's what it's like.
Do you have a lot of fellow …
Matthew Lillard:
Haters of the Lakers? Laker Haters. I'm sorry, go ahead, I keep interrupting you with this idea that it's funny to hate the Lakers openly. Sorry, go ahead, told you I'm sorry.
Do you have a lot of people who you work with that are Laker fans?
Matthew Lillard:
Yes, of course. Everyone likes people on top. Hollywood is full of a bunch of people who like to be winners. That's what we are in Hollywood. It's just like high school with expensive cars. There are few people out there with the courage and the soul to love the Clippers more than they do the Lakers. Yes, I'm calling people who like the Lakers terrible.
I'm one of those people then, Matthew.
Matthew Lillard:
We are people with character.
This new career path for you, has it been sort of a conscious effort or has it just sort of happened with these projects you're working on now as opposed to previous films?
Matthew Lillard:
It's love. It's love from the universe. It's luck. If these movies come along in ten years, or they come along tomorrow, you're just lucky to have them. That's the reality. We're guns for hire. You hope the next one you get is a good one. Look, you never start a movie and go, 'Wow, this is going to suck.' You always have some kind of hope it's going to work out and sometimes they do. Hey, I gotta go. I gotta jump off this phone. Sorry. Thank you so much for helping us.

Yamaha EPH-100SL Inner-Ear Headphone
"This is my second pair of EPH-100s. I purchased my first pair in the beginning of 2012 some while after they became a FOTM here on Head-fi. Strangely enough I would have thought that they would have increased in price with the popularity these have, but I got the second pair for $15 less than the first pair I bought. The first pair survived a lot of hours of music at work, but the housings were..." --daerron
