Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman The design beckons Fujifilm tapped in to a powerful place in the global shutterbug psyche when they introduced their "X" series of retro-influenced cameras in 2011. This entry, the 16-megapixel interchangeable-lens Fujifilm X-E1, stays firmly in that well-established design aesthetic, while offering some new technological features that make this camera even more of a value than its predecessors. Image quality and the resolution to evaluate it The XE-1 is still using a "rangefinder" body style, similar to Fujifilm's other X-Series cameras, and it hosts a well-regarded APS-C "X-Trans" sensor. What that means for you is that the camera is primed to generate exceptional image quality. The on-board OLED electronic viewfinder features an ultra-high resolution 2.36-million dots, so you'll be able to evaluate that image quality in the field in real time. Should you wish show others what you've captured, a 460K-dot LCD display stands ready on the camera body's back. The Fujifilm XE-1 has classic styling and cutting-edge features Ready when you are Got just enough time to grab the camera for your son's first attempt at diving into the water? The X-E1 has a quick start mode that gets you ready to shoot in less than a second. A wide sensitivity range (ISO) makes this camera a perfect choice when you only have the light that's available, and when you need a little extra support, there's an on-board flash standing by. Video chops and lens choice Full 1080p HD video is standard, of course, and stereo audio gives your recordings a realistic sense of space. An external microphone input means you can add a specialized microphone, like a clip-on lavalier or a shotgun mic, for better, more intelligible sound in your next feature production. And Fujifilm has equipped this camera with a nicely appointed 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens, which is more than up to your everyday photographic challenges. Plus, the family of Fujifilm X-mount lenses is growing regularly, with two new ones announced at the same time this camera was released.

Try a mirrorless camera. These digital cameras combine the creative options of a DSLR with portability that's more like that of a point-and-shoot. Their automatic modes will help you take striking pictures from day one without having to be an expert. However, like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras have interchangeable lenses, and advanced control and processing. You can explore these features for even better results as you take time to learn more about the hobby. Cameras in this class have large image sensors for beautifully detailed pictures, but their mirrorless design means the camera bodies and matching lenses can be smaller, lighter, and more portable great for snapping memorable pics when you're on the move.

Fantastic jpegs OOC. Love the menu system and the ergonomics. Kit lens is super sharp and has OIS. Pros: Image quality, size and handling Cons: None so far! Was this review helpful? Yes No Fuji XE1 with 18-55mm Kit lens and 35mm 1.4 Written By Spinningfox, New York, NY on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good size, wish it can be a bit smaller like the upcoming XM1 and comes with the brown color; but I like to have EVF. Pros: Excellent still image quality; lots of manual control Cons: AF a bit slow, no video record button 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellence Written By Fins, Hershey PA on Friday, July 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is really a great camera, though not necessarily for all types of photography. If you are shooting action or even young kids (who tend to never sit still) there are better options than the X-E1 in my option (E-M5; DSLR). But beyond that, getting this image quality, build quality and overall style all rolled in to one camera and zoom lens is quite exceptional. Pros: image quality; build; style' great lens lineup Cons: shooting action Was this review helpful? Yes No Fuji XE-1 Written By Truths2k05, Miami,Fl on Thursday, June 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Fuji XE-1 is a retro looking camera that behaves very much like an old school manual camera. It takes the most beautiful pictures of any camera I have owned. It has an incredible depth of field that I have not seen in other cameras. The lenses are very high quality as well. Best camera I have ever owned. Pros: Picture quality. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Fuji X-E1 Written By bc, Rochester NY on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Already the owner of a Fuji XPro 1, I was pleasantly surpised by the combination X-E 1 + 18-55 mm zoom. The body is as pleasant to use as the X Pro 1, 99 % of the functions, buttons are the same. Due to the lack of optical viewfinder the XE1 is smaller, more compact, with a better screen resolution and finally a diopter-adjustment for the view-finder (brutally lacking on the X Pro 1, especially for a camera of that quality and price-what were they thinking?). Because of its compacity (and the lack of an available grip for it, as for the the X Pro 1) the XE1 is less stable to hold (but more compact). As for the the 18-55 mm zoom, it is excellent a deserves 5 stars: the fastest focusing lens in the Fuji X-system range, extremely sharp, and with image-stabilization/vibration reduction (to speak Canon/Nikon lingoes). Makes me want to throw my 18 and 35 mm away! Pros: Body: Compacity, quality of viwfinder and produced images. [panorama function not as good as Sony's though-same for X Pro 1] Zoom: EXCELLENT. Sharp, fast focusing, Image Stabilization. Cons: Body: needs a better grip. Improve automatic panorama capacity (Sony could do it). Lens: NONE!! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very nice camera Written By Anonymous, NYC on Friday, March 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was debating between the XE1 and the NEX6. I finally decided to get the XE1. XE1 gives you cleaner high ISO shots. Plus the XE1 gives you all the manual controls right on the body of the camera, unlike the NEX6 where you have to dig through menus just to change the shutter speed. About the AF in low light conditions, I find if you enlarge the focus area the AF becomes better. The XE1 is a camera person's camera. Pros: Outstanding image quality Cons: AF can be slow in low light conditions 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No SIMPLY, MORE BEAUTIFUL Written By Anonymous, Pittsburgh,PA on Sunday, March 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm old !!! I started 'fiddling' with photography around 1970 and have owned both Minolta and Nikon gear. When the digital revolution began I ended the "money pit" called amateur photography and never looked back. However, I recently retired and began doing some research on digital photography. The least, I figured, there is no film with only 24 exposures to buy and I could always delete my marginal pic's. Maybe(I thought) I could finally teach myself photography without having to go to the bank for a loan. So the search began with the regular manufacturers like Nikon, Canon etc..but they all looked like the old film cameras-- bulky and awkward. I wanted none of that. Then I happened upon the mirrorless revolution and the Fuji X-E1. This is a camera of old . Built like a tank and the quality of the pic's make even me look good. I cannot stop shooting and experimenting and learning..I'm formally addicted to digital and Fuji and I haven't even begun the post processing work. Well, Fuji X-E1 you have let me know what I'll be doing for the remainder of my life Pros: Quality of images creativity tremendous telephone supprt from Fuji Sexy Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No THE BEST CAMERA " I" HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!!! Written By R.M. SELTZER, GARDEN CITY, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK on Friday, December 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH PHOTOGRAPHY SINCE 1963. I CONSIDER MYSELF AN ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHER. FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE PENTAX K-10, KX, KR, K-5 AND THE K-30. THE PENTAX SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO USE MUCH POST PROCESSING BUILT INTO THEIR CAMERAS. RECENTLY I WAS LOOKING AT MY OLDER PHOTOS TAKEN WITH FILM AND THOUGHT I MIGHT GO BACK TO A FILM CAMERA. WELL, FUJIFILM MADE THE X-E1, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO UTILIZE THEIR FILMS DIGITALLY. I FELT THIS WAS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS [FILM GONE DIGITAL]. I IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT ONE FROM CRUTCHFIELD AND COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. THE FEEL OF THIS CAMERA IS FANTASTIC, AND BEING ABLE TO CHOOSE WHAT "FILM" TO USE IS AWESOME. SINCE I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO USING DIGITAL CAMERAS, I WAS ABLE TO TEACH MYSELF 90% OF THE CAMERA WITHOUT REVERTING TO THE HANDBOOK,WHICH I WILL USE AS NEEDED. I GAVE UP THE ART FILTERS AND IN CAMERA PROCESSING, BUT IT IS WELL WORTH IT. ONE FEATURE THAT IS NOT LISTED AS SUCH IS THE ABILITY TO BEND THE FLASH BACKWARDS FOR BOUNCE FLASH. THAT WORKS EXTREMELY WELL. LET ME SAY THAT IF YOU LOVED USING FILM, BUT WANT TO GO DIGITAL BUY THIS CAMERA. Pros: NEW TYPE OF SENSOR. NO ALIASING FILTER IN FRONT. EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS CAMERA IS ALSO POSITIVE. WHAT A PHOTOGRAPHIC TOOL! Cons: NONE 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best camera I ever owned! Written By BA, New Jersey on Saturday, December 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I did a lot of research about this camera before "taking the plunge," but nothing could prepare me for actually holding it in my hands and using it. There are certain qualities about products that defy description. I already have a Fujifilm X100, and S5 Pro, so I am familiar with the company and its products. The X-E1 is just a joy to use. I can see it will become my main camera. I am already thinking about selling the others. The few little deficiencies of this camera that have been described by many, or really very minor to me, and can quickly be learned and compensated for. The camera is light and unobtrusive. It exudes quality. And, most importantly, the images it makes are superb; second to none! It may not be the most appropriate camera for someone shooting sports, but I don't shoot sports. I plan to use it as an all around travel camera, and for documenting the events of my life. I never have been a fan of video, but this camera may change that. I like that there is a stereo jack for an off camera microphone. The collection of lenses will be growing soon, and so there will soon be a lens for almost every need. Right now, I am using the 18-55mm zoom, which together with the lens stabilization, bright lens, and excellent auto ISO performance, allow me to take just about any kind of picture that I am used to taking. The only thing I really wish for now is a macro lens that will go 1:1. 14 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The viewfinder has a diopter correction dial that allows you to adjust the strength of the viewfinder in accordance with your eyesight. Image Sensor/Processor: The X-E1 features a 23.6mm x 15.6mm APS-C format, X-Trans CMOS image sensor with 16.3-million effective square pixels. This is the same sensor used in Fujifilm's X-series flagship X-Pro1 digital camera. The camera uses ultrasonic vibration to clean the image sensor. In the menu, you can select sensor cleaning when the camera is switched on, switched off, or on command. Recording Media: Still images and movies can be recorded onto optional SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards. No memory cards are included with the camera. Still Image Quality: The X-E1 records still images in JPEG format in 3:2, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios in three sizes and two compression ratios (Fine or Normal). In addition, RAW images can be recorded from the raw, uncompressed image data from the camera's image sensor.

Available frames sizes are 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) and 1280 x 720 (HD). The maximum movie length is 29 minutes. Panorama: The camera is capable of taking panoramic images by panning the camera through one of two angle settings. As you pan the camera, multiple frames are recorded and automatically stitched together in the camera to create the panoramic image. The Panorama options are: Panorama M: Horizontal: 5120 x 1440 (7.3M) Vertical: 2160 x 5120 (11.1M) Panorama L: Horizontal: 7680 x 1440 (11.1M) Vertical: 2160 x 7680 (16.6M) Shooting Modes: The Fujifilm X-E1 lets you set the shutter speed and aperture automatically or manually.

Extended settings are equivalent to ISO100 (Low), ISO12800 (High) or ISO25600 (High). You can also choose an Auto ISO setting with maximum settings of 400, 800, 1600, 3200, or 6400. The Auto settings will adjust the sensitivity settings according to the shooting conditions. The higher the sensitivity setting, the better the camera is at reducing blur in poor lighting conditions, however, high settings can result in more noise in the recorded images. White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. You can select Auto, Direct Sunlight, Shade, "Daylight" fluorescent lamps, "Warm White" fluorescent lamps, "Cool White" fluorescent lamps, Incandescent light and Underwater (requires waterproof case). In addition, you can measure for a white balance value or display and select from a list of color temperatures. Film Simulation: The X-E1 can simulate the effects of different kinds of film, including black-and-white. You can select one of the following options: Provia/Standard: standard color reproduction Velvia/Vivid: a high-contrast palette of saturated colors, suited for nature photos Astia/Soft: a soft-toned palette of less-saturated colors Pro Negative Std: a soft-toned palette. The range of hues available for skin tones is enhanced; a good choice for studio portraits. Pro Negative Hi: offers slightly more contrast than Pro Negative Std, making it ideal for outdoor portraits. Monochrome: standard black-and-white Monochrome + Y Filter: black-and-white pictures with slightly increased contrast; tones down the brightness of the sky Monochrome + R Filter: black-and-white picture with increased contrast; also tones down the brightness of the sky Monochrome + G Filter: softens skin tones in black-and-white photos Sepia: takes pictures in sepia tone Color Space: Depending upon how you intend to use the image, you can choose the output color space at the general sRGB setting or the broader color rendition of Adobe RGB (for commercial printing). Exposure Compensation: Using the dedicated Exposure Compensation dial on the top of the camera, you can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure a total of 13 steps from -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. Exposure compensation is available in all shooting modes except Manual. Bracketing: You can take a series of photos with varying settings for each picture. Bracketing options include: AE: Each time the shutter is pressed, the camera will take three shots up to about 6 fps, one using the metered value for exposure, the second overexposed by the selected amount, and the third underexposed by the same amount. ISO: Each time the shutter is pressed, the camera will take three shots, one using the current sensitivity setting, the second with the sensitivity raised, and the third with the sensitivity lowered. Film Simulation: Each time the shutter is released, the camera takes one shot and processes it to create copies with the film simulation settings selected. Dynamic Range: Each time the shutter is pressed, the camera will take three shots up to about 6 fps, each with different dynamic ranges: 100% for the first, 200% for the second, and 400% for the third. Continuous Shooting: You can capture motion in a series of pictures using the Continuous Shooting mode. The camera can take pictures at 3 frames per second or 6 fps. Focus and exposure are determined by the first frame, and the flash is turned off automatically. Multiple Exposures: You can create a photograph that combines two exposures. Self-timer: The camera gives you the choice of a 10-second or 2-second self timer. The 10 second self timer is recommended for self portraits, while the 2-second self timer is used to reduce blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed. Remote Release: The X-E1 has a 2.5mm sub-minijack connection for adding the optional RR-80 Remote Release. The RR-80 can be used to take photos when the camera is on a tripod or for long time-exposures. In addition, a standard cable release can be used when attached into the threaded receptacle on the shutter release button. Focus Modes: The camera lets you choose how the camera focuses. You can select Single AF, Continuous AF, or Manual Focus using the focus ring on the attached lens. Flash Modes: The X-E1 has a built-in pop-up flash. Optional flash units can also be used for additional lighting at night or indoors under low light. Red-eye removal minimizes the "red-eye" effect, and is available for each flash mode. You can choose from the following flash modes: Auto: flash fires automatically as required by the shooting conditions Forced Flash: flash will fire whenever a picture is taken Slow Synchro: auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds (tripod recommended) 2nd Curtain Sync: the flash fires immediately before the shutter closes Commander: the built-in flash can be used to control optional remote flash units Light Metering: The X-E1 uses 256-segment, TTL (through-the-lens) metering, where the camera automatically assesses the scene and selects the optimum exposure. You can select from three metering options: Multi, Spot, or Average. Viewing Images: Images can be played back one-at-a-time or in a variety of multi-frame views. Multi-frame options include a 5-frame cascading display (two previous and two following frames cascaded behind the highlighted image), a side-by-side two-frame display (with smaller thumbnails of the previous and next frames, 9-image grid (3 x 3) and a 100-image grid (10 x 10) of micro-thumbnails. In the 9- and 100-image grid views, the highlighted image is slightly enlarged. Image Search: The Image Search function lets you search pictures by the following criteria: Date: Search for photos by date Face: Search for photos that include faces Favorites: Search for photos by rating Type: You can easily search your pictures according to the type of photos: still photos, pictures taken in burst mode, or movie footage. Upload Mark: Search for pictures selected for upload to a specified destination. Playback Zoom/Cropping: You can enlarge a still image in the monitor according to the image quality (size). After you have zoomed in and scrolled the picture to the desired composition, you can create a cropped image of a picture. Copies will have an aspect ratio of 3:2, and will be saved as a separate file. Resize: To create a small copy of a picture, you can select "Resize" from the menu. The new images vary in size with the original image. Slide Show: You can view pictures in an automated slide show. You can select normal playback, normal playback that zooms in on faces, or multiple pictures at once. Printing Pictures: Using DPOF (Digital Print Order Form), you can designate which images to print, and whether to print them with or without date. Pictures can be printed as followed: Printer or Photo Lab: plug the camera into a Pictbridge-compatible printer, insert the memory card into a compatible printer, or take the memory card to a digital photo lab Transferring to Computer: transfer the images to a computer before printing them Power Requirements: The X-E1 is powered by the supplied NP-W126 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A fully-charged NP-W126 is good for approximately 350 shots. The supplied BC-W126 battery charger will charge an NP-W126 battery in about 150 minutes. Auto Power Off Function: When the camera is operated on battery power, the Auto Power Off function will automatically turn off the camera to reduce the drain on the batteries if no operations are performed for 2 minutes or 5 minutes, as set in the menu. Regardless of the option selected, the camera will not automatically turn off when connected to a printer or computer, or when a slide show is in progress. X-E1 Accessories: In addition to the above-mentioned XF lenses, the following accessories are compatible with the X-E1: HG-XE1 Grip EF-20, EF-42, and EF-X20 Shoe Mount Flash Units BLC-XE1 Leather Case NP-W126 Spare Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery BC-W126 Battery Charger RR-80 Remote Release Included Lens 18-55mm Lens: This X-E1 camera kit comes with the XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 R LM OIS standard zoom lens.

When you want to find a really, really special pair of shoes, the mall is probably not the first place that comes to mind. But, with department stores and mass retailers joining independent boutiques in championing once-minor brands like Charlotte Olympia and Nicholas Kirkwood to Louboutin-level heights, all that is changing.
These days, it seems like the taller, wackier, and more out there a pair is, the more likely it's going to fly off the shelves. While "extreme footwear" can sometimes ring in at extreme prices, even affordable brands are buying into the eclectic ethos, churning out wedge after heel after platform that only the bravehearted among us would love. Ahead, the pairs that have our hearts racing.

Striaght up Hollywood movie **** right here boys! Awesome.
Eight armed and masked men made a hole in a security fence at the international airport in Brussels, Belgium, drove onto the tarmac and snatched millions of dollars' worth of diamonds from the hold of a Swiss-bound plane without firing a shot, authorities said Tuesday.
The gang used two vehicles in their daring raid Monday, dragged the cache of stones and sped off into the darkness, said Anja Bijnens, spokeswoman for the Brussels prosecutor's office.
Police found a burnt-out vehicle close to the airport later Monday night and said they were still looking for clues.

Who Takes Care Of Your Lawn?
There's a debate going on in our household. Is it better to mow your own lawn or pay soneone to do it? All the rain we've had this summer has made the grass grow lke crazy! If, like me, you hate to see the man of the house 'waste' precious free weekend hours behind a mower than you probably think it's worth it to pay for lawn service

From Port Coquitlam, BC, defender Kadin Chung joined Whitecaps FC Residency in September 2011 after representing his home province of British Columbia.
2012-13: The Port Coquitlam, BC native played as a developmental player for Whitecaps FC U-16 Residency, starting in four of his five appearances in the regular season. His most recent appearance was a start in the 4-0 home loss to Crossfire Premier on June 1, 2013.
2013: Chung was called up as part of a 30-player group assembled for a three-day prospects evaluation for the U-15 Canadian men's national team. The camp was held from June 4 through June 6 in Montreal, Quebec.
A product of Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club, Chung has served as captain, won league titles, and claimed tournament Most Valuable Player honours during his youth career. This included involvement with Metro-Ford in the BC Soccer Premier League, with the defender last playing for Metro-Ford Spartans. Chung was also a member of the BC provincial team program at the U-13 level.
As a student, Chung attended Our Lady of Fatima Elementary School in Coquitlam, BC, from 2003 to 2011 before moving to Archbishop Carney Regional Secondary School in his hometown of Port Coquitlam, BC. He has since moved to Burnaby Central Secondary School where he is currently in the 10th grade.
The 5-foot-6 defender's favourite teams are Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United, while his favourite players are Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United defender Alexander Buttner. The defender would like to play at Manchester United FC's Old Trafford home one day. When not playing soccer, Chung enjoys playing basketball, hockey, swimming, as well as spending time with friends and family. His favourite foods are sushi and pasta.

Jules Bianchi is looking forward to a strong ride before the summer break, while Max Chilton says Hungary holds many special memories for him...
Jules Bianchi is looking forward to a strong ride before the summer break, while Max Chilton says Hungary holds many special memories for him.
For all the latest F1 odds on the Hungarian GP, round ten of the 2013 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Jules Bianchi: "Spending Friday afternoon in the car at Silverstone highlighted how much I've missed the racing since Germany, so I'm looking forward to Hungary before we have the long summer break. The first part of the season has passed by so quickly and I think it is important that we have a stronger weekend in Budapest, so everyone stays focused on what we need to do during the second half. Everyone deserves a good long rest as a reward for the all the hard work, but then we have to continue pushing hard to ensure we achieve our objectives for the season. The Hungaroring is a circuit I enjoy, having raced there several times before in GP2 and Formula Renault 3.5. It is usually extremely hot and because the track is quite demanding to drive, it is not such an easy weekend. There is no let-up across the whole lap so it requires a lot of focus, but that is why it is quite an interesting race because it demands everything you have as a driver. Let's hope for a positive weekend for the Team with a strong two-car finish."
Max Chilton: "Hungary holds many special memories for me as the track where I achieved my first race win in GP2 last season, so I'm really excited to be heading back there. I love everything about Budapest - the track, the weather, the people and the city. It is always hot and sunny at the Hungaroring and it's just a circuit I really enjoy which seems to suit me. As ever, the objective is to have the best build-up possible then raise our game a little in qualifying before hopefully enjoying a good race to finish ahead of our immediate competitors. It would be nice to send the Team off for the summer break with a positive result in hand."
John Booth, Team Principal: "We've had a constructive test at Silverstone this week, providing our young drivers with valuable experience and our race drivers with the opportunity to test the 2013 compound-2012 construction tyres. We've been extremely fortunate with the weather and judging by the forecast for next week in Budapest we can look forward to more of the same, although temperatures in the mid-thirties can feel very warm indeed in the midst of a busy race weekend, particularly in the cockpit. The Hungaroring will be a very demanding circuit for our drivers, although their fitness for any circuit is never in question; we're very fortunate to have two guys who take their physical preparation very seriously. This is a track that demands their full attention throughout the lap and with little or no respite. They both seem to enjoy it there and their simulator preparation has gone well, so now we hope to have a strong weekend with everything coming together for us to get both cars home and ahead of our direct competitors."

"Now when I go to the bathroom I find out who my friends are." - Jake Scott after both broken hands were in casts following the 1972 season
I tried to test "thanking" and "no-thanking" a post, but you were too clever for that Bill and took the button away. I can, however, un-thank my original thanks, but that's not the same thing now is it? My goal was to be duplicitous.
i want to ban people............lol
So as part of "ironing things out" with the new thanks system, will we be able to use it again with tapatalk? I personally don't have internet at home and use my phone a lot for viewing the forums and would love to have it back for tapatalk.

I love it bill,
But i miss having the numbers easily view able under my name

Don't Carpe...
At that particular moment, Amma had arranged one of the new bras I was buying on top of her sweater and was sucking a lollipop that she must have found on the ground. She also had three shop-lifted clip-on neon feathers stuck in her hair. She looked exactly like a contestant from Toddlers and Tiaras. I couldn't find Chase anywhere, and Tish was grabbing the pen on the credit card swiper thing WHILE the woman in front of me was trying to use it. And so I just looked at the woman, smiled and said, "Thank you. Yes. Me too. I am enjoying every single moment. Especially this one. Yes. Thank you."
-Glennen Melton
If you have read any of my posts on parenting, especially the one when the kid's flooded the house, then you probably know that when it comes to being a mom, I am a realist. Which is to say that I love my children and the journey of parenthood, but I also acknowledge that while the joys are many, so are the sacrifices. Or in my case, crazy moments... where I just can't take one more second of fighting over who gets to play Angry Birds on the Ipad, so both kids end up banished to their respective rooms, me standing in between them.... poised for battle, wooden spoon gripped in white knuckle bluff, yelling threats... That's right, I admit it. I have my moments. Moments where I can rationalize why 5:30 pm seems like a perfectly reasonable bedtime.
Just recently, I was musing over the interesting duplicity of yearning for the kids' increasing independence, and yet lamenting how fast they are growing. I was thinking about putting these thoughts to paper when I stumbled upon an article that says everything I was thinking, only better.
It's by Glenn Melton and called "Don't Carpe Diem." The premise, excerpted above, is tied around the all-too-familiar refrain of an older woman putting her hand on her heart and giving the admonition to relish every, every moment.... and why the author doesn't entirely agree with that premise. Like yesterday when I found the contents of a bag of chocolate chip mini muffins Mia had wedged and speared between the cushions of our slip-covered couch. Or better yet Aidan, my current seven year old, was a voracious biter in his toddler years. I remember putting him down for a nap when he was 18 months old and he would bite the nape of my neck in protest. Did you get that? The nape of my neck! You know, that soft delicate skin between your chin and collar bone. He would bite it--hard! Enjoy every, every moment?--I don't think so!
Melton compares mothering to any other job, and how no one, in her right mind, says she loves every moment or that this is even a reasonable expectation. So, too, the job of being a mother is the same. There are hard times, joyful times, funny times... that all coalesce in this grand adventure of parenthood. Just yesterday the weather was a crisp and sunny 75 degrees. Mia and I shared a snack at the park and then swung on the same swing together like a spider. She was facing me and as we were arching through the warm air, when she put her head against my chest, squeezed me hard around the waist, and sighed, "Oh, Mommy, I love you." And we keep swinging and soaring. Or when Aidan, who is often more of a closed book, comes and tells me with a fire in his eyes about something wonderful he learned at school. And we connect and I feel his passion. Those moments are the moments to live for! But it's okay to be honest about the journey.... or that sometimes, Glenn says: "my favorite part of each day is when the kids are put to bed and Craig and I sink into the couch to watch some quality TV, like Celebrity Wife Swap, and congratulate each other on a job well done. Or a job done, at least"
If want some encouragement and a good belly laugh, you can read Glenn's article HERE.

Read that post too. So true to life, her posts. If I had a dollar for every comment like that I would be a wealthy woman. I want so badly to be that together mom in the checkout with the well behaved children, but I am not. Oh well, loving every minute of this insanity though. ;)
Thank you Jess for always keeping it real.

I read Glennen's post too and it was definatley one of the more memorable blog posts I have ever read! I was also struck by one gal who commented that she could not belive anyone would talk about their children like that and how she cannot imagine spending the day with her child and the best part of it being bedtime. This gal was preggers-- after many invetro treatments, she had just blissfully moved to a new house so that they would have enough room for her mom to permamently move in with them so they'll have help! ha ha ha! I had to laugh. Yeah, that's a reality for everyone!
They do grow more indepentent, but then different challenges come with that too! I was up until 11 last night talking to Olivia about why her best friend can be so mean to her sometimes! I WISH I could blog about it, but I know there are a lot of local moms who read my blog and don't want to air it. Parenting IS the hardest job in the world. It's not all peaches and cream, but those sweet moments make the not so sweet ones so worth it! Have always loved your parenting posts Jessica!

I had a similar experience the other day...
I was in a Sams Club Bathroom changing my 4 month old. He had succeeded in pooping out both legs and all the way up his back. And he was screaming!! A making himself choke kind of cough. I tried to peel off his clothes and and not get covered in poop. Which I did not succeed. A woman came in and started talking to me. And as I turned to try and redress him, stepping in poop she told me to remember every moment. And I wanted to scream shut and go away, or help me. So I agree, selective memory loss is helpful in parenting.

I read that post as well, and felt really heartened by it afterwards. I appreciate when mothers can be honest about their parenting journey. If we could all be honest that it's not ALL joyful, I think we would all feel better about ourselves and feel a lot less guilty. There is no ONE right way, and we're all just trying to figure it out!

There is not a single week that passes by in which I don't think about how wonderful it would be for my kids (all three under the age of five) to be able to bathe themselves, or pick up the toys, or get along with one another for a few hours without me having to raise my voice and wanting to rip my hair out in the process... nope not a single week that passes that I don't wish they were older and a little more independent. BUT at the same time there is not one week that passes by where I don't take a few moments to rub my cheeks against their soft baby skin and sniff the back of their heads and marvel at the wonder of how they came to be and how I came to be their mommy... nope not a single week that passes by that I don't marvel at their wonderful existence. Yes, parenthood is hard, but its because of the difficult times that we are able to appreciate the Kairos moments much more.

The days are long, but the years are short... pick up those Lego pieces and Barbie shoes that you constantly step on and put them in your change purse, because someday they won't be on the floor anymore and you'll wish they were. (Advise I received some time ago and have never forgotten)

I love your realness. And your talent. And your story, the story of your life. I stumbled upon your blog a year or so ago (back when your Joyfolie posts on Facebook went viral, I believe). anyway, I've been cheering you on from a distance & figured it's finally time to say "hi!" :) You are the real deal. I can't wait until I have kids so I can dress them in your wears!

The nape of your neck is the back of your neck, where the bottom of the hairline ends, not the front.
I had one quiet gentle son, and then a complete tornado of a son, for whom I apologised dozens of times. I love my children but I like them too. It doesn't make me blind to their faults, but it does mean that I can say I enjoyed every minute of their childhoods, despite difficult circumstances. I adored being their mother, and the time flies soo quickly.

|University of Vermont Fleming Museum Exhibits
There are two unusual exhibits at the University of Vermont's Fleming Museum you may find interesting.
Buddha in Paradise at the Wolcott Gallery runs through December 19. It is about finding "Pure Lands" or paradise in western terms and is a collection of ancient paintings dating back to the 13th century. Also, during this week, October 15 - 22, Buddhist monks are constructing a circular painting called a mandala made from colored grains of sand to represent the universe. You are welcome to watch the construction and also the eventual destruction when it is cast into a pool of water, a part of the process that "symbolizes the impermanence of existence and the ideal of non-attachment to the material world."
Architectural Improvisation: A History of Vermont's Design/Build Movement 1964-1977 runs through December 19 in the East Gallery. This unique exhibit looks at a group of architects who formed the Vermont Design/Build movement based on their Bauhaus theory education at Yale School of Architecture and the University of Pennsylvania Architecture program in the 1960s. These students, many of whom are still here in Vermont, set out to explore "radical social, technological, and aesthetic experiments."
I've seen several examples of their work around Waitsfield Vermont. Some are lacking in practicality, grace, ingenuity, creativity, advancement, longevity, or relativity but they are a magnetic curiosity and a great symbol of the futile side of the 60's. It's good that this approach did not go far and it's not surprising but sometimes you have to know what does not work in order to know what does work. This is an excellent body of work for the student of the 60's to know about.
The Yestermorrow school in Waitsfield VT is a product of this movement. It has an intriguing line up of classes.
The Fleming Museum's hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Wednesday, 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday & Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 PM. Closed Mondays.

Last week, the Raven Peer Leaders helped the local non-profit Cradles to Crayons organize and pack clothes, shoes, books and school supplies for homeless and low-income students. These essentials will benefit children throughout the winter to stay safe, warm and ready to learn. The RPLs had a great time helping out this awesome organization.

I was walking on California's Stinson Beach in August 2009 when I struck up a conversation with a woman who seemed utterly delightful. Captivated, I invited her to dinner at my house that evening.
Big mistake!
While I ate my dinner, she drank hers — then refused to leave. And, according to her, why should she? My acquaintance of 12 hours bizarrely insisted that we were living together. The situation felt menacing — would I find a rabbit stew boiling on the stove? — so I summoned my next-door neighbor, a woman, for help. The two of us spent 45 minutes coaxing my surprise head case to leave, but it took a threat to call the police to finally get her out the door.
Does it jar you to find a man writing about dating safety? Don't let it. As my fatal attraction to that mad mermaid proved, scary situations can pop up for anyone in the dating world — female or male, online or not. That's why everyone who is part of that world must take some basic steps to ensure his or her physical safety. At the very least, consider adopting the approaches below; all of them draw on my 12 years of recent online dating experience.
1. Gentlemen first. When you've exchanged emails with a prospect and you feel it's time to furnish phone numbers, the man should offer his first. If he doesn't, the woman should ask him to do so. I can't think of any good reason why a legitimately eligible man would withhold his digits; if he does, that's ample cause to feel unsafe. Give the dude a pass.
2. Pick a safe spot for your first date. A busy daytime cafe is ideal. There isn't much privacy, but you'll be grateful for the presence of others if an unpleasant situation develops. If your date refuses to meet at a cafe or insists on a less public place, simply move on.
3. Know when to bail. I once had a coffee date with a woman who grew increasingly angry — and vocal — over her mistreatment by an ex-boyfriend. When she turned her attack on me, I got up and left — and was thankful for an audience to witness my exit.

En español | There was a time when I grill-roasted big festive cuts such as whole turkeys, pork shoulder and prime rib for the summer celebrations. No more. My new mission: Eat less meat, leaner meat, better meat. With that in mind, I will share three of my favorite recipes for summer grilling.
A well-marbled steak or chop may taste great, but it's not so great for you. The saturated fat in lamb, beef and pork eventually clogs the arteries and can lead to heart disease, so stick with leaner cuts like the ones I've featured here: London broil from the top round; pork tenderloin, which is the leanest of the pork cuts; and boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Lean cuts have their challenges. Fat equals flavor, and without it, meat can taste lackluster. And overcooking can cause them to dry out and toughen up.
For all three cuts, I've developed simple, high-flavor marinades, which enhance taste. The sweet, sour, smoky beef marinade, as well as the barbecue-flavored pork marinade, are designed for a pregrill soak, while the soy chicken one is ideal for a postgrill dunk. The lightly sweet beef and pork marinades and the brown sugar sprinkle on the chicken will help these cuts brown, and that translates into high flavor.
For these cuts to stay juicy, you'll need high heat and short cooking times, so make sure the grill is fully preheated (for me that's about 10 minutes), and then get the meat off quickly. Pricking the London broil with a fork and slicing the steak thinly across the grain also ensures more tender meat.
Someone recently told me we should treat fatty red meat like decadent desserts — fully enjoyed, but only occasionally. So grill up lean cuts like the ones featured here and serve them with a side of fresh grilled vegetables (I've suggested one for each dish) and a big salad — vegetable or bean and grain — and you've got a fresh, colorful healthy summer-weekend feast. Then maybe you'll have room for a decadent dessert!
Barbecue-Marinated 5-4-5 Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Serves 6 to 8
Serve this succulent pork with slices of grilled sweet potatoes and your favorite coleslaw. To grill the potatoes, coat the peeled slices with a little oil and season them with salt and pepper. Add them to the grill along with the tenderloins, turning them and removing them from the grill at the same time as the pork. Set out extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
- 1/4 cup your favorite sweet barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons each canola oil, molasses and cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Ground black pepper
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds)
Mix barbecue sauce, canola oil, molasses, vinegar and mustard in a small bowl; pour into a gallon-size zipper-lock bag. Add tenderloins; marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours at room temperature or up to 2 days in the refrigerator. (Return to room temperature before cooking.)
Heat gas grill, igniting all burners on high for at least 10 minutes, or build a hot charcoal fire. Clean grate with a wire brush and then lubricate well with an oil-soaked rag. Add tenderloins, close lid and grill until dark-brown grill marks form, about 5 minutes. Turn tenderloins over, close lid and continue to grill until dark-brown grill marks form on remaining side, about 4 minutes longer. Keeping lid closed, turn off all burners and let tenderloins remain on the grill rack until fully cooked, about 5 minutes longer. Remove tenderloins from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into medallions and serve.

What do you have to be grateful for today?
Does this need an explanation?
Dec 27 2011: I am grateful for the change in mindset I am going through over the past few years (and I am grateful to see others who are already in it and also going through it). As a surgeon in my old mindset, I saw less and less hope, increasing fear and frustration in my profession and in the world. In a renewed mindset, I see hope and opportunity for change. I see love everywhere and I am driven less and less by fear.
Dec 27 2011: Bruce,
I am grateful that you can now see love everywhere:>)
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes..."

Thank you for expressing your feelings so candidly. Your words resonated in me as I am struggling with aging parents with old mindsets. I hope that like you, they will be helped to see life positively with the help we are giving them.
Love is everywhere!....."Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine" Lord Byron
I thought you would enjoy this quote, being a surgeon.Dec 28 2011: I'm grateful to find the words to express my opinions and a community to share my stories. It's been a tough year with hard lessons, yet I'm more hopeful about the days ahead.
Dec 28 2011: Dear Katherine,
It appears that some difficult lessons in the past are going to be replaced with a new beginning in the coming year. I'm grateful for your insight:>)
Dec 31 2011: Katherine, I liked your expression....."I'm hopeful about the days ahead".

It reminded me of a quote: "Worry is the misuse of your imagination"

Being alive I keep all the memories than made me as I am and I have the chance to keep building my next version of myself, improving day by day.
Dec 29 2011: I agree Luis,
I am grateful for the life experiences as they come to me, that keep building and improving day by day:>)

The change is fantastic and we are all grateful to him.
Dec 31 2011: Syed, what a priveledge to know that there are positive people who have taken a challenging situation and see it with loving eyes.....All the best to you and your family.Dec 31 2011: I am grateful that my closest friend is recovering amazingly well from a difficult surgery called the "Whipple" procedure. I am also grateful that we have had each other to lean on due to health issues between the two of us. I am extremely grateful that I met and married my soulmate, without whom I'd be in a lot of trouble today.

What has been hardest, and therefore the most difficult, to accept and find a way to be grateful for, is my ability to accept what comes. In the last three years I've acknowledged and yet denied I had an illness. After finally seeing a neurologist who put it bluntly ("You'll always have these symptoms," he said. "It's not something that will go away, even with preventative medication."), I realized that even though I don't yet have a diagnosis, I do have some sort of degenerative neurological disease similar to Multiple Sclerosis. It's what folks call "a probable MS'er" in the forums.
So, in order to be grateful for something like that, and realizing that any day I could wake up with some crazy new symptom that could change my life yet again, I found I could be *grateful for the fact that I was taught how to stay happy and that I inherited blind optimism from my parents*.
It'll all work out, even if it's not the way we planned.
Jan 1 2012: Dear Rebecca,
Your ability to stay happy with optimism is a HUGE gift to all of us, and I agee that "it'll all work out, even if it's not the way we planned". Sometimes, life happens when we're making other plans! I understand that, since I'm not supposed to be alive...according to the medical model:>) You hang in there Rebecca...love you and am grateful for your presence here and now.Dec 31 2011: I'm grateful to see my chindren grow. I am grateful for the good that I'm eating to right now.
Darren Azeez
Dec 29 2011: I'm grateful for all the people that helped me all the way up to today. I wouldn't be here, right now without their help. I like to think that I would be able to do all things on my own, but I'm glad that I don't have to.

Jan 5 2012: Dear Darren,
I think/feel we would all like to think we could do all things on our own. However, I belive we are interdependant, and the sooner we realize this, the better for all of us:>)Dec 14 2011: Thank you for asking!
What am I grateful for....
• The heater on my feet, and the electricity to run it. Growing up I was cold pretty often.
• A husband on his way home that is still my best friend, with new stories to tell, after 26 years of marriage.
My parents haven't liked each other through the 50+ years together.
• Two daughters that are beautiful, smart and funny, that hang with us.
They are doing homework now, challenging and pacing themselves.
• A roof over my head, food on my table, despite the growing debt to keep it all going.
I am technically in the 1% but it sure does not feel like it.
• And most of all - for my art ability that gives my life a purpose and direction
and the love around me to fuel my journey.
Dec 20 2011: My pleasure to ask Zofia, and also my pleasure to read your response:>)Dec 20 2011: I'm sorry but I had to laugh about the parent comment! MINE TOO!/MEE TOO!
Dec 23 2011: Zofia and Valerie,
I had a challenge with the "parent issue" as well, and I'm grateful for the lessons, which lead right into your discussion Valerie..."How would we treat each other if we were not controlled by a need to be right?"
I learned two very important, valuable lessons from my violent abusive father, and unconditionally loving mother:
1) It is not necessary to be right to the point where we constantly argue, confront, violate, demean and belittle others in our path.
2) There is SO much more power in respect, kindness, compassion, empathy, unconditional love:>)
I am grateful to have learned these lessons early in my life adventure:>)Dec 13 2011: I am grateful for the window pane fogging up when I pressed my nose against it this morning to check if the sun was out there to greet me. :-)
Dec 13 2011: Nice image Helena:>)
My windows are frosted, so it would be a little chilly to snuggle my nose up against the window.
I'm grateful to be INSIDE, rather than OUTSIDE at the moment:>)
Dec 13 2011: Ha, ha, ha...I don't think I would've been as daring with frost about, a quick peep from the bed well wrapped up in my duvet would've been enough...We are still enjoying a nice temperature of 18 degrees Celsius here so luckily my nose didn't get stuck! :-)
Dec 16 2011: Helena, my dear one,
I want to share a bit of information I learned as a wee small child.
The nose or any other soft tissue of the body will not stick to glass. It can be fun to lick the snow and ice off the window pane...for a small child of course:>)
Never, NEVER, try to lick the snow and ice off the metal parts of your sled. All the soft tissues of the mouth WILL STICK, it is painful, and not a pretty sight!
I'm grateful to have learned this lesson by doing it ONLY ONCE!!!Dec 16 2011: Ouch!! I'm feeling your pain just imagining the sight...
As a child we once had two inches of snow for a day and it was such a special occasion that we got the day off school so we could enjoy it, fortunately we had no sleds...Note taken my friend. :-)
Dec 17 2011: Thanks Helena...it healed...like most wounds can, with loving attention...I'm grateful for that!It snowed here during the night...I'm grateful for the lovely, white, bright blanket of snow this morning....also grateful that it will improve skiing:>)Dec 17 2011: Ah, the power of love..the things it can do!
I am already picturing that white bright blanket of snow and it looks so beautiful...I am grateful for the power of imagination and I am grateful I can engage in conversation with you, Colleen.
Enjoy the skiing! :-)Jan 6 2012: I was very greatful today that I can take people's critiques about me without making them personal any more. That I am becoming more and more positive being.
Jim Moonan
Jan 2 2012: Today I was lying on our sofa in the living room, looking outside through the big picture window at the bare trees and the sky behind them and thought to myself, "this view is something I take for granted; every day it changes." Every day, through that picture window, I notice the change in the weather, the wind, the seasons; I see the every day comings and goings of the natural world as it happens outside my window. I must remember to not take that daily gaze out the window for granted. It enables me.

Jan 5 2012: I wholeheartedly agree Jim,
It's very important to not take for granted people and things...even if we see them every single day...they are gifts which I am grateful for:>)Jan 1 2012: I'm grateful to TED and this wonderful opportunity to connect with people from around the world.

Jan 2 2012: Cold spell here. Car dead when I turned key this morning. Brief panic. Turned key a few more times and it started. Called car guy. Shocked at price of new battery, but knew I needed it. Drove straight to car repair place. Sitting here now waiting for car. Starter needed too. This will cost me a lot of money. Not too concerned. Glad it's just money. Anyway, it will motivate me to win the lottery this week. Yeah, that's what I'll do. I am grateful that money is the only issue and that I am alive, have good credit and room on my credit card to absorb this expenditure, healthy, sentient and optimistic.

On this last day of 2011 I am grateful that I can look back on a year that has been filled with blessings. I feel grateful for having had the opportunity to experience a wide range of challenges that have brought color to my palette of emotions. I am very grateful to have dealt with them lovingly and compassionately to the best of my ability. And I am aware that these blessings are all part of my life, as a work in progress.
However hard it may be sometimes to feel blessed in the middle of a challenge…the fact is you always feel proudest of yourself afterwards for having faced it and for having dealt with it as best as you could.
Furthermore, looking back over 2011, I feel grateful for this TED forum. It has offered me a place which resonates with my spirit and my view of life, a place where I feel 'heard', that adds to my experiences and challenges my points of view.
To you and all TEDsters reading this conversation: May you feel blessed in advance for all you will experience in 2012. And for all of us: May TED live a long and happy life :)
Brasa (warm and tight embrace in Surinamese)
Jan 1 2012: Dear Astra,
On this first day of 2012, I am grateful to look back on the year before, and look forward to the new year, which, as you so insightfully say...brings "color to our palette of emotions", and is always a "work in progress".
Brasa:>)Jan 2 2012: Astra,
Best wishes to you!
I am thankful for your insightful contributions, your openness, and your sense of humor (I still look at your old posting from time to time, it doesn't get old :-)
So, did you give up on new year's resolutions because it didn't work last year? May be this will help you feel better:
A new year's resolution comes in one year and out the other one.
Have a great 2012!
Astra Singh
Jan 4 2012: Hi Karina,
- +2
Thank you for the wishes and for the kind words.
With regard to the resolutions.....well, in a way I did give up on them, meaning that I have stopped making New Year's resolutions some time ago. I just take it day by day throughout the year. Not waiting until the end of the year to come up with good intentions. Because I experienced that resolutions can be very rigid and some room for flexibility is necessary (your quote was spot on :). Like the day before yesterday.
I vowed, when confronted by a request that requires an immediate answer, to (respectfully) ask some time to think about it before giving an answer. What prompted it? A late night request by a friend to go on a boat trip the next day. Not much information was given but I spontaneously said yes. As soon as I did my memory kicked back in and remembered all the things I still had to do the next day (a really long list) and I started regretting my quick answer....especially since my friend (she's a sweetheart but can be quite chaotic) provided the vital details about the trip in bits and pieces over the next hours. That's gruesome to someone who likes to be well-informed and well-prepared. I couldn't back out anymore so I said to myself 'What the heck, just go and have fun'. And the thing is....I did. I had a great day and lots of fun. (Sending you a picture of the New Year's 'bath' at a mud bank near the sea...which my friend also forgot to tell me about :).
And so I had to reassess my previous vow into: Be open to reassessing a vow and ....be more spontaneous :)
Have a fabulous 2012 too.
Jan 5 2012: I also take it "day by day throughout the year" Astra. Good intentions can happen anytime, and as soon as I feel something needs to change in my "self", the process begins:>)

Dec 30 2011: Wow!! Such insightful musings in terms of being grateful - I would like to add the following in that I am grateful to my mother - who was a 'stolen' generation person in Australia and therefore didn't have a mother to teach her - and her graciousness whilst gently guiding me through life's cycle to have a full and satisfying life. Although there were many low points in my life, the high points more than made up for them...

I am grateful for good health, wonderful children, good friends and new ones.
I am grateful for participating in good conversation, learning and teaching.
I am grateful that I can think and grow, laugh and cry, hurt and be comforted, touch and be felt, forgive and be forgiven.

I am grateful for your beautiful writing, and the expressions of gratitude you have shared. Thank you my friend:>)

Dec 29 2011: Dear Eduard,
I am not fooling myself about anything, nor are the people on this thread who have responded to the topic..."What do you have to be grateful for today?"
I am aware of your unhappiness because we've had very long discussions about the fact that you do not believe happiness/gratitude can exist. My heart goes out to you for your sadness. However, the topic of discussion here is "What do you have to be grateful for today". If you do not have anything to offer that is on topic, I respectfully request that you do not taunt others because of your belief that happiness/gratitude does not exist.
With all due respect, and a sincere wish for your well-being, and the well-being of those who choose to respond to the topic. Thank you for removing your comments that are not on topic.
Dec 29 2011: I won't remove my comments with apologies (they are true) but I'll stay out , thank you for your good wishes and the same to you .
