Prince George better make room, because another royal baby is on the way.
This soon-to-be big brother is only 13 months old, but he has mastered the art of being utterly adorable in front of the cameras. Between his rosy cheeks, hilarious expressions and general wiggly, jiggly nature that won him an extended playdate with the Internet, George has plenty of cuteness tips to pass down to his new sibling.
Prince George isn't the first British royal to make the world join in a collective "aww," however. Below, see the long lineage of cuteness that has led up to the second royal baby.

For Queen Elizabeth II, one throne is enough.
The United Kingdom's 88-year-old monarch toured the Belfast sets of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones and met many of its stars Tuesday beside the show's sword-covered seat of power, the Iron Throne.
Unlike many visitors to Belfast's Titanic Studios, the monarch declined to try out the throne created for the ruler of the mythical Seven Kingdoms. Instead, she received a miniature model as a gift.

Yoga to end polio
Originally posted on Rotary Voices:
By Adam Arents, Rotary staff
For the past two years, I've helped coordinate yoga classes for staff at Rotary headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA, bringing in a yoga instructor to lead us in stretching, bending, and breaking up the stiffness that can accumulate after too many hours staring at a computer. I appreciate yoga for the ways it challenges me, loosens me up, and quiets my mind in the midst of the cacophony of everyday life.
Recently, I've felt the need for yoga even more as I've spent hours riding my bike around the Chicago area to prepare for the 104-mile El Tour de Tucson.

President's October Message
We are now into October and that means…its Vocational Service Month!!! This month we focus our attention on one of Rotary's key ideals, how we as Rotarians/Rotaractors can use our professions and skills to make a positive impact in our communities. I encourage all Rotaractors to see how you can use your own unique skills to make an impact in our world. No matter how small you may think it to be, everyone has the ability to use our skills/professions to make a change in the world.
The Rotaract Club of New Kingston (NKRC) recognizes the importance of Vocational Service as well as the Professional Development of our members. Our Professional Service Committee, led by Director Kimberley Lindo and her team, will be highlighting our members and what exactly they do for their professions and also hosting one of major events for the year, our annual NKRC Professional Development Workshop at the end of this month. This workshop is geared towards all young professionals giving them the opportunity to take part in and learn from presentations on topics such as Financial Literacy, Event Planning and Management and Entrepreneurship to name a few. Very topical and beneficial presentations that I'm sure all young professionals can gain great value from.
Also of significance this month, NKRC will be looking to raise awareness of two very critical diseases, Polio and Breast Cancer. We will be participating in several awareness initiatives both locally and internationally for both End Polio and Breast Cancer. World Polio day is recognized annually on October 24 and Rotary Internationals main goal is the complete eradication of Polio from the Earth. NKRC will do our part to support Rotary Internationals efforts in the fight against Polio. Also, Breast Cancer is a disease that has affected a lot of persons whether directly or indirectly. Again, NKRC's members will join the global effort to raise awareness about this disease so that one day, just like Polio, we can hopefully say, the world is breast cancer free.
Happy October!!!
Ryan McKenzie
President – Rotaract Club of New Kingston
DRR Elisia's October Message
Greetings my Rotafamily,
Happy Vocational Service Month!
October is a time for Rotaractors to focus on their vocation and its importance to their local community and society at large. You may use this month to reflect on your current profession and how you can offer your skills to making the world a better place. Some may choose to recognize persons that have offered their vocational skills to give back to their community. Others may use this month to find out more about their members' vocation. Whatever above-mentioned concentration you may have; they are all what I encourage you to focus on.
Look within yourself and think about different ways you can use your vocational skills in Rotaract to contribute to society. Additionally, use this month to spark your interest in developing your professional life. Some Rotaractors might not be at the place where they want to be professionally, so use this month to start advancing yourself.
When we are organizing a community service project, or any event which requires a specific skill, we often tend to look for persons that are non Rotaractors to assist us and fail to realize that we have our very own Rotaractors who have that skill. Therefore, I urge you to get to know your members' vocations. We have a number of tremendously talented individuals within our membership, and we need to constantly be thinking about how we can best use our members' time and talents. Take the time out to conduct sessions where your members can present on their vocation and how they can use it through Rotaract to make a difference.
Now, let us take a look outside of Rotaract and shed some light on our awesome Rotarians. Invite them to your professional development sessions as guest speakers to share information on their vocation. Also, take the time out to acknowledge persons that have contributed their vocational skills to their community. Organize an award ceremony and show these selfless individuals that we appreciate them for the good that they do.
In closing, I will leave this with you, "Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large."—Mahatma Gandhi

DRR Elisia's September Message
September is the month where we celebrate the future. September, we celebrate New Generations Month. September, we celebrate us as Rotaractors, our Interatactors, our Early-actors and every young person on this earth. As we journey on through this month, I urge you to inspire and motivate young people like yourselves to be the best that they can be. Too often we hear negative things about young people going astray and living a life that is not pleasing. Too often the world airs the negatives about young people and rarely the positives. However, we are about to make a statement this month and I encourage you to remove the deleterious stereotype about young people in your community by displaying and spreading the word of how great and powerful we are as the new generation.
There is so much we can do this month in celebration of New Generations Month of which I highlighted a few examples:
-Conduct a big brother/sister program
-Conduct youth panel discussions on topics such as peer pressure and importance of education
-Tutor students who are struggling in school
-Provide meals for less fortunate children
-Conduct reading sessions at your local library or school
-Give motivational sessions to youth groups
-Have joint meetings/projects with Early-act or Interact Clubs, in or outside of the District.
Let us not forget that Rotaract is a program of Rotary. We are young professionals that will soon take up positions to lead this world, therefore; we need to prepare ourselves for this. I urge you to assist Rotary clubs, continue to bridge the gap and build tighter bonds with them by:
-Chairing Rotary Club meetings.
– Assist with chartering Early-Act/Interact Clubs.
-Encourage a Rotarian to be your mentor.
We are highly respected for the great work that we do. Rotaractors, we are role models and we are the mouth piece of change. Use it to the best of your ability to inspire other young people. We are looked upon as future leaders and so we must continue to live, act and do right in everything we think say and do. All eyes are on us, so go out and be the change the world needs. I am forever proud of each and everyone one of you.
In closing I will leave this with you, "Blessed is the generation in which the old listen to the young; and doubly blessed is the generation in which the young listen to the old."
Your Proud DRR,

Compare Prices on Norwegian Spirit Canary Islands Cruises
Rocky NCL Spirit
Arrived at 12.45 to embark the Spirit in Barcelona. Would have liked to have arrived earlier but shuttle from hotel only ran once to the port that day. This caused us to be queuing at a busier time and it seemed to take for ever to get checked in (about 1 hour wait) Once checked in we headed past the wine shop, which we managed to buy a few bottles of wine to take on board with us. We were greeted at the ship's entrance by their wonderful staff and their enthusiasm lasted the whole cruise. Best staff we have ever had on a ship.
The ship was lovely and clean and the food in the Windows main dining room was outstanding. A very nice place to go for lunch also. A first for us as we normally just use the buffet during the day. Also liked the fact that there was never any problems in getting tables for two.
The choppy seas spoiled our cruise a little as husband and I felt rather queasy a lot of the time. We also could not dock in Lanzarote which seems to have happened More quite a few times in the past, even though there were two cruise ships and a ferry in port. This made a Canary Island cruise a bit of a farce as we had Tenerife changed to Casablanca before we sailed, therefore we didn't visit any Canary Islands. We actually only had 2 ports visited during our 7 day cruise. Too many sea days, especially when choppy.Also on the way into Casablanca port we were hit by massive waves side on which made the ship list from side to side very badly for about 15 minutes. Lots of broken crockery in the buffet but the staff did a wonderful job in clearing it all up.
We saw a few good shows but didn't stay up late to see any other entertainment, well apart from the karaoke which was terrible but good luck to those brave people, I couldn't do it!!!!!
We would sail again with NCL if the price was right. Less

Business News
Car affordability at best levels in 35 years
Car affordability is the best in 35 years. New data reveals that car affordability is at the best levels since 1976. A person on the average wage would need to work for around 30 weeks to purchase a new Holden Commodore Omega auto or Ford Falcon XT auto.
Luxury cars are also more affordable. It's not just the highest selling cars that have become more affordable. Marques such as the BMW 320i and Porsche Boxster Roadster have now moved closer into reach of more budding car buyers.
What does it all mean?
In part we can thank the stronger Aussie dollar for the fact that car affordability is the best since the 1970s. But tariff reductions, improved technology and competition between car manufacturers have also played a role. And we can't forget the fact that wages have consistently risen over time.
Aussie consumers are quick to focus on the things that have become more expensive, barely giving a second thought to the goods that have become cheaper or more affordable. But the improved affordability of cars is certainly something that should be celebrated.
Someone earning the average wage has to work for around 30 weeks to buy either a Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon. Rewind just 18 months ago and the metric would have been 32 weeks. And a decade ago the average wage earner would have needed to work around two months longer to purchase the same vehicle. Actually they wouldn't have been the same vehicles; they would have had far fewer standard features than the current models.
Not only have wages grown at a faster pace than car prices, car buyers today are getting a lot more bang for the buck with features like automatic windows/doors, iPod connectivity, DVD players, GPS, parking sensors/cameras and a multitude of air bags.
Given that buying a car is one of the biggest transactions a family can make, the lower outlay frees up more dollars for other purchases. And then there is the improved level of car safety that is accessible by more and more families.
Certainly the stronger Australian dollar has led to a big improvement in the affordability of imported cars in recent years. And that is in addition to the huge decline in tariff levels since the late 1980s. In 1985 the tariff on imported cars was 57.5 per cent. Compare that with the five per cent tariff that has applied since 2010. The increase in competitiveness of imports has certainly put more pressure on local manufacturers to reduce costs and also keep car prices low.
An $111,000 Porsche Boxster Roadster may not yet have fallen into the reach of the average Aussie, but consider the improvement in affordability over time. A decade ago someone on the average wage would have needed to work for 130 weeks to buy a dream vehicle such as a Porsche Boxster Roadster. Today the same worker would need to work for around 83 weeks. Still a dream perhaps, but the improvement in affordability is another example of Australia's rising standard of living.
What do the figures show?
CommSec has tracked the prices of new cars that have been published in the NRMA Open Road magazine over time and originally sourced from the authoritative Glass's Guide. The car prices have been compared with data on average weekly earnings to derive measures of car affordability.
The Australian Automobile Association has tracked vehicle cost and ownership since 1970, providing figures for the cost of a basic Holden sedan over time. CommSec has extended that analysis. In 1976 the price of a new Holden sedan was $4336 and the average male wage (only measure available at the time) was $182.10 a week. At that time the average wage earner would have had to work for around 24 weeks to buy a new Holden car.
Today a Holden Commodore Omega is priced at $39,990 and the average male wage is $1417 a week, meaning it takes around 28 weeks of work on the average wage to buy the vehicle. Using the average wage for all workers the metric is 29.9 weeks of work. The list price of a Ford Falcon XT is put at $40,290, putting the CommSec car affordability measure at 30.1 weeks.
Over the past five years, the CommSec car affordability measure for a Holden Commodore Omega V6 auto has fallen from 33 weeks to 29.9 weeks with the affordability measure for a Ford Falcon XT 4.0L auto sedan down from 34.3 weeks to 30.1 weeks.
While the affordability of two of the top selling cars has improved over time, some imported cars have recorded an even greater improvement. For instance, the CommSec car affordability measure for a BMW 320i 2.0L 6AS sedan has improved from 51.1 weeks to 41.9 weeks over the past five years. And CommSec car affordability measure for a Porsche Boxster 2.9L 7ADCT Roadster has improved from 108.5 weeks to 83.3 weeks.
What are the implications?
A raft of goods has become cheaper or more affordable over time such as cars, TVs, phones, whitegoods like fridges as well as overseas travel. But consumers and the media are fixated on the goods and services that have become more costly. It is important to focus on changes in affordability rather than specific prices of consumer goods and services. And it is also important to focus on a broader basket of goods and services than specific items. The standard of living of Australians has continued to improve, and we expect this will be translated into a gradual improvement in the pace of spending over 2012 as global economic worries recede.
While cars have become more affordable, some will claim that Aussie car buyers should be doing even better. In fact, the list price of a Porsche Boxster in the UK is £37,589 including VAT or around A$56,953 – around half the list price in Australia. Certainly there is a raft of costs associated with importing a car (http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4371.asp) but the high Aussie dollar and greater use of the internet for shopping and price comparisons will keep pressure on Australian retailers and importers alike.

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan says she considers recent high court decisions expanding gun rights to be "settled law."
Kagan was asked at her confirmation hearing about two recent decisions, including a 5-4 ruling Monday, which essentially guaranteed citizens' Second Amendment rights to have guns, no matter where they live.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California decried growing gang violence in her state, saying officials need leeway to deal with it.
Kagan responded that "once a court decides a case as it did, it's binding precedent." And she said judges must respect a precedent unless it proves unworkable or new facts emerge that would change the circumstances of a case.

Richfield trustees approve settlement for use of crusher
After months of negotiations and citizen comments, the Richfield Township Board of Trustees approved a settlement with JJJ Properties for the use of a concrete crusher in the Light-Industrial Office District.
Zoning Inspector Laurie Pinney issued a zoning citation last June to JJJ Properties for its use of the crusher to grade its property in the Richfield Industrial Park. Pinney said the area consists of 80 acres of mostly undeveloped property and a concrete batch plant.
The company appealed the citation to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) and then ultimately asked the township if the issue could be settled before being decided by the BZA.
Pinney said some of the residents' concerns are incorporated into the settlement agreement. She said the trustees have had several public meetings on this issue before approving the settlement.
"This is a tough decision," said Trustee Jeff Shupe. "We have to take a lot into consideration: the residents, the development of the land and a person's property."
Before the vote, resident Rich Fleming, of Columbia Road, asked why the crusher was allowed to run for 11 days in 2013.
Pinney said she issued a citation as soon as the township was aware the crusher was on the site, but she could not file an affidavit to stop the action immediately because she could not say it was causing nuisance through dust, noise or vibration. She said the crusher has not been used since the two parties agreed to work on a settlement.
Resident Ken Bennett, of Hecker Drive, said he had no problem with the crusher, but when the concrete is brought onto the site, "it's like a war zone."
"The dump truck dumps it out, the bulldozer pushes it into a mountain; there are backup beepers. It's just noisy," he said.
Under the settlement, the crusher is permitted to run from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
According to the settlement, JJJ Properties must use reasonable efforts to restrict sound level within a certain distance of the crushing operation activity only, and JJJ will provide equipment to test sound levels and will have those measurements verified by the township zoning inspector.
The settlement also states JJJ must provide access for regular township inspections. Richfield will provide notice prior to any inspection, according to the settlement.
No outside storage of material not intended for crushing or grading on site, except for batch plant operation, is permitted without further permission from the township as outlined in the Zoning Code, according to the settlement.
The settlement also states no crushed concrete material that is produced on site will be taken off site or used in the batch plant.
In other news:
- The trustees agreed to replace the large trash receptacle at Rising Valley Park with a small building for trash cans. This would reduce wear and tear on the parking lot caused by the garbage truck. The building will cost between $700 and $800.
- Pinney said officials from the township and Richfield Village have discussed the possibility of creating a joint park district to oversee the 300-acre Crowell Hilaka Girl Scout Camp property.
She said the district could be created by the government or through a petition circulated by voters.
The owner of the property, the Girl Scouts of North East Ohio, has entered into a contingent purchase agreement with the nonprofit Western Reserve Land Conservancy, which has convened a coalition of community advocates in its search for a purchaser.
- Township Administrator Linda Bowmer said the township had applied for a grant for the improvement of Hawkins Road. If the grant is approved, the work would take place in the summer of 2015.
Bowmer also said the annual Project Pride Community Cleanup Day will take place April 26, along with the Arbor Day Tree Giveaway in the Town Hall area.
She added the May 15 trustees meeting is canceled since not enough trustees will be able to attend.
The next trustees' meeting is scheduled for May 1 at 10 a.m. at the township offices, located behind the fire station on West Streetsboro Road.

"Looking for a girl with low standards and no gag reflex!"
Those honeyed words on a profile were my introduction to the modern dating phenomenon that is Tinder. Understandably, they did nothing to disprove my long standing opinion of the increasingly popular app ("Christ, I'm not that lonely") but after a pal revealed she actually found her boyfriend after a fateful right swipe, I swallowed my pride and pressed download. I mean, it's 2014 – does anybody meet their other halves "in a bar on a night out with the girls" anymore?

US builders boost spending 1.4 percent in OctoberBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press | December 04,2012AP PHOTO
Ford Smith works on a new home under construction in Chicago. U.S. builders increased their spending on construction projects in October by the largest amount in five months, led by a surge in housing.WASHINGTON U.S. builders increased their spending on construction projects in October by the largest amount in five months, led by a surge in housing.
The Commerce Department said Monday that construction spending rose 1.4 percent in October. It was the largest gain since a 1.7 percent increase in May.
The increase raised spending to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $872.1 billion. That is nearly 17 percent higher than a 12-year low hit in February 2011.
Still, even with the gain, the level of spending on construction remains only about half of whats considered healthy.
Housing construction spending jumped 3 percent in October. Nonresidential building rose 0.3 percent. The government said Superstorm Sandy, which hit in late October, had only a minimal effect on the figures.
Sales of new homes fell slightly in October, dragged lower by steep declines in the Northeast partly related to Superstorm Sandy. New-home sales were still 17 percent higher in October than the same month a year ago.
Strength in home building has been one of the bright spots for the economy this year. But overall construction is still being offset by weakness in commercial real estate and tight state and local government budgets.
The strong 3 percent increase in housing construction spending in October left the rate of annual spending 19 percent above the level of October 2011.
The housing market appears to be withstanding fears that the economy will go over a fiscal cliff next year without a budget deal to prevent tax increases and spending cuts from kicking in, said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. Dales noted that residential spending over the past three months has jumped at a 29 percent annual rate.
The pace of spending on nonresidential construction is now 10.7 percent above its level a year ago. Spending on hotel construction and shopping centers both rose in October.
Government construction spending barely rose, to a level thats still below its rate of a year ago. Public projects have been under stress because of budget problems at all levels of government.
Federal construction spending rose 10.7 percent in October. But spending fell slightly among state and local governments.
From July through September, residential construction grew at an annual rate of 14.2 percent. Housing construction is on track to contribute to economic growth this year the first time thats happened in the five years since the housing bubble burst.
Though new homes represent only a fraction of the housing market, they have an out-size impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to statistics from the National Association of Home Builders.
Builders are increasingly confident that the housing recovery will endure. A measure of their confidence rose in November to the highest level in 6½ years. And builders broke ground on new homes and apartments in October at the fastest pace in more than four years.
But there are factors dragging on the housing recovery. Many Americans, particularly first-time homebuyers, are unable to qualify for a mortgage. And many cant afford larger down payments that are being required by banks.
While housing has strengthened this year, the broader economy has lagged behind. The government reported last week that overall economic growth increase to an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the July-September quarter, up from 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter.
But through the first nine months of this year, economic growth has averaged just 2 percent, far below what is needed to make a significant dent in unemployment.
Many analysts think growth is slowing in the current October-December quarter to below 2 percent. The disruptions caused by Superstorm Sandy weighed on consumer spending in October.
And many consumers and businesses may also be worried about automatic tax increases and spending cuts that are scheduled to kick in next year, if Congress and the Obama administration fail to reach a deal before then to avert them.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON The U.S. economy powered its way to a respectable growth rate of 3.

Odessa, Ukraine • Outrage over the deaths of pro-Russian activists in riots in Odessa triggered new violence Sunday in the Black Sea port where a mob of protesters stormed police headquarters and freed dozens of their jailed allies.
The activists had been jailed for their involvement in clashes Friday that killed more than 40 people — some died from gunshot wounds, but most from a fire that broke out in a trade union building. It was the worst violence in the Ukrainian crisis since more than 100 people died in Kiev in February, most of them shot by snipers.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk visited Odessa on Sunday to try to defuse the mounting tensions and hinted strongly that he saw Moscow's hand in the violence spreading through southeastern Ukraine.
Odessa is the major city between the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in March, and the Moldovan separatist region of Trans-Dniester, where Russia has a military peacekeeping contingent.
Concerns are mounting that Moscow ultimately aims to take control of a huge swath of southeastern Ukraine from Trans-Dniester to Russian-dominated industrial areas in the east. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who calls the area historically Russian lands, has said he doesn't want to send in troops but will if necessary to protect his country's interests.
Alexei Pushkov, a prominent member of Russia's parliament who often expresses Kremlin views on foreign policy, suggested Ukraine was destined to be split apart.
"Through the justification of arson, military operations and the killing of Russians in Ukraine, the Kiev government is destroying the basis for the existence of a united country," Pushkov said on Twitter.
Yatsenyuk said Odessa police were being investigated for their failure to keep the peace during the riots and said he had ordered prosecutors to find "all instigators, all organizers and all those that under Russian leadership began a deadly attack on Ukraine and Odessa."
But hours later, the police bowed to a mob of several hundred pro-Russian demonstrators who attacked their headquarters, smashing doors, windows and security surveillance cameras. Shortly after some of them managed to break into an inner courtyard, police released the detainees, who were swept up by the cheering, rain-dampened crowd that had been chanting "Freedom!"
The Interior Ministry said 67 activists had been released on prosecutors' orders. But prosecutors later said they had nothing to do with the release and accused the police of failing to carry out their duties. It was not immediately clear whether any activists were still being held.
Putin spoke by telephone Sunday night with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The Kremlin said they agreed on the importance of the role to be played by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and said Swiss President Didier Burkhalter, whose country chairs the OSCE, would visit Moscow on Wednesday.
The interim government in Kiev, which took power in February, has renewed its push in recent days to quell the pro-Russian insurgency in the east, where government buildings have been seized in more than a dozen cities and towns.
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said on his Facebook page that an "anti-terrorist operation" was being executed in the eastern city of Kramatorsk, the latest flashpoint for unrest.
A standoff Saturday in Kramatorsk culminated with pro-Russian insurgents setting buses ablaze to ward off attacks. Russian state TV reported 10 deaths, including two among government forces, during clashes there so far. The figures could not be independently confirmed.
By midday Sunday, however, there was little sign of movement, from either government or the insurgents. The burned-out trolleybuses and a minibus lay in the road untouched.
Both sides in Ukraine's conflict have traded bitter recriminations over Friday's deaths from the Odessa rioting.
The violence began with street fighting between supporters of Ukrainian unity and activists who support Russia; at least three people were reported killed by gunfire. The government opponents took refuge in a large trade union building, which then caught fire as opposing sides hurled Molotov cocktails at each another.
Odessa Police Chief Petr Lutsyuk issued a statement Saturday calling for calm in the city of about 1 million, but hours later he was fired by the interior minister.
The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, said he was disturbed by signs that some of the police in Odessa may have been complicit in allowing the violence to get out of control.
"That's something which Prime Minister Yatsenyuk spoke to today," Pyatt said on CNN's "State of the Union." "And I see that he's already brought some major changes in the security leadership there in Odessa, which I think reflects the deep concern about the role that the security establishment played in Friday's violence."
Late Sunday, about 300 supporters of the Kiev government gathered outside the regional police headquarters to demand that the armed pro-Russian demonstrators be punished. Carrying sticks and bats, they chanted, "Glory to Ukraine!"Next Page >

You know when it's the end of October and November is just around the corner and you're all like, "I don't want winter to be here," so you think of the summery-est dessert you can and make it?
Yup. Just happened. The end of October just screams Key Lime Pie, doesn't it? No?
You guys, how in the world is summer overrrrrrrrr? That had to have been the shortest summer on record. My summer went like this: 5 year old birthday party, June at the ballfields, vacation at the beach, back to school, boom. Now the leaves are falling off the trees and there's not a darn thing I can do about it.
