Chicago Supt. Jody Weis: Police exam 'not about race'
Police Supt. Jody P. Weis explains the reasoning behind cutting the entrance exam
By Supt. Jody P. Weis
Chicago Sun Times
The Chicago Sun-Times column by Neil Steinberg on Jan. 8 ["Diversity Goal Puts Police to the Test"] makes an incorrect assumption about why the City of Chicago has discussed replacing the police entrance exam with an application. Let me be clear: Race is not one of the reasons why it is under discussion. In fact, the current test already has an 85 percent pass rate, so it doesn't have a disparate impact on any minority group.
Rather, our discussions have been about figuring out how active-duty military personnel, who are serving our country with distinction and valor across the globe, can apply for the position of Chicago Police officer. Right now, applicants taking the test have to be in the city when it is administered -- something that is not an option for those currently serving in Iraq, Afghanistan or stationed at military bases elsewhere. In addition, every aspect of the current entrance exam is covered in other areas of the application process, so the opportunity exists to streamline the procedure.

Nightlife ALL-AGES VENUE SHUT DOWN OVER NOISE COMPLAINTS
posted by June 8 at 8:37 AMon
…In Reno. But this could be what the future holds for Seattle if our council can't come together to show some leadership on music and nightlife issues. This story from Reno involves Seattle band the Degenerate Art Ensemble, former Seattle resident Britt Curtis, and a pastor named John Auer (I think not OUR Jon Auer, but things change).
Britt is leading an all-ages music and art space called The Holland Project, which was sited for "disturbing the peace" and shut down just before the Degenerate Art Ensemble could perform. The Vietnam vet with a crocheted American-flag wreath hanging on his door who made the complaints that resulted in The Holland Project being shut down says, "I shouldn't have to put up with all the teenagers."
Our council needs to keep this in mind when crafting new noise rules or strengthening current nuisance laws to deal with nightlife issues. One pissed off old dude who doesn't like teenagers can stir up a lot of shit. With new condos moving in across from the new Vera Project I wonder how long it will be until a similar thing happens there. However we solve the current nightlife issues, we need to create rules that won't allow one neighbor to ruin a venue that serves thousands of people.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Wetumpka quarterback Jamal Golden is
Alabama's Mr. Football.
The Alabama Sports Writers Association gave Golden the award
presented by Hibbett Sports on Wednesday at the
Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.
The 6-foot, 185-pound quarterback led the Indians to the Class
6A quarterfinals. He was named the Class 6A Back of the Year by the
ASWA and also earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors after
accounting for 3,477 yards of offense and 37 touchdowns.
Golden finished with 222 points in the vote by the ASWA football
committee. Spanish Fort offensive lineman Reese Dismukes edged out
Russellville running back Brent Calloway for second with a 190-184
vote. Leeds defensive back Jonathan Rose was fourth with 145 points
and Leroy wide receiver Sammie Coates was fifth with 141.

I am a iPod Video, iPod Touch owner. I have iTunes running now on an old, slow Celeron machine so that I don't have to run it on my fast main machine. I am worried about the services it loads and starts on under Windows.
But it would be cool if I could install and run it on my main machine an exit from it without it leaving a footprint. Short of running it in a Virtual Machine, is there any utility out there that could toggle on/off the services that iTunes/Quicktime runs in the background?


text: Selma City Council Selma Council Extends Payday Loan Moratorium By Ryan Vasquez • Aug 13, 2014 Selma City Council members have extended the city's moratorium on new payday loan stores and may extend a ban on issuing new liquor licenses. Officials voted Tuesday to extend the payday loan store ban for six months. Councilman Michael Johnson says he's researching future restrictions on the businesses, including requiring a certain distance between locations. Marchers Plan to Protest Forrest Monument in Selma By The Associated Press • Sep 25, 2012 en.wikipedia.org Opponents of efforts to build a new monument to Civil War Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest plan to ask the Selma City Council to refuse to allow the new statue to be built. Selma resident Malika Fortier said she will lead a march from the Edmund Pettus Bridge about three blocks to Selma City Hall at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. She said her group is upset that supporters of the monument plan to replace a statue that has been in a city cemetery for about 10 years. That statue disappeared from Live Oak Cemetery earlier this year.

text: I stayed there for two nights while in town visiting family. It was a great location and close to everything I needed. The price was great, much cheaper than local Hotel's. Breakfast was provided cereal or toast. Bed was comfortable and all amenities were present. Would definitely stay again, thanks Fernande.


text: Recently while reading a paper I encounter a problem, which has confused me for several days. So I hope that some one could help. Thanks for your attention. My problem is: let $R$ be a commutative uniserial ring(i.e., its set of ideals is totally ordered by inclusion), $m$ denotes its unique maximal ideal and Ann(m) denotes the annihilator of $m$. Then $Ann(m/Ann(m))=0$ when $m/Ann(m)$ is treated as the maximal ideal of $R/Ann(m)$.

From the visionary mind of acclaimed musician Rob Zombie comes, The Devil's Rejects the gritty, violent follow-up to his smash horror hit, House of 1000 Corpses. Ambushed at their isolated home by Sheriff Wydell and a squad of armed men, the Firefly family wakes up one morning with guns blazing - yet only Otis and his sister, Baby, manage to escape unharmed. Hiding out in a backwater motel, the wanted siblings wait to rendezvous with their errant father, Captain Spaulding, killing whoever happens to stand in their way. But as the body count mounts higher, Sheriff Wydell decides to take the law into his own hands, paving the way for one of the most depraved and terrifying showdowns in cinematic history.

President George W. Bush concluded his final debate with John Kerry by declaring his faith in "the ability of liberty to transform societies, to convert a hostile world to a peaceful world." Now part of his rhetorical repertoire, this statement springs not just from the religious basis of his thinking, but more importantly it is a core principle of what is called the theory of "democratic peace." That theory does not insist that democracies are necessarily peaceful in general. But the last decade of social-science research has produced abundant evidence, besides theory, that democracies almost never go to war with one another. Policymakers from the administration of the first President Bush through that of Bill Clinton have also accepted it. But what this president neglects to mention is that those of us who helped formulate the theory of democratic peace have consistently argued for a second core principle: that a model of "fight them, beat them, and make them democratic" is a very bad idea.
Members of the current administration cite the post-World War II experience of Germany and Japan to bolster their case for invading and occupying Iraq. Certainly the victorious American and British occupation policy was built on the principle that the German and Japanese governments could never be peaceful without democratizing their systems.
But Germany and Japan make poor analogies with respect to the Middle East. The United States and Britain went to war not in order...

If the clock is 11.00 for example, does this mean that for the last hour, I've only been sending 1 cached query? And all the 73 other queries are pulled from the database each time the page is loaded?
Another question I have is why some queries are rejected (not cached in debug mode). Is there some queries that don't get cached, and why? (and to my knowledge, these not cached queries aren't the ones set to be rejected in the console).
I hope you can clarify these issues to me!

We propose a method of designing equiripple linear-phase FIR filters with linear constraint by using the Remez exchange algorithm. A novel technique is derived to convert a linearly constrained problem into an equivalent unconstrained one. We proposed a technique to modify the original desired frequency response so that the original linear constraint can be reduced to a simpler one (the null constraint) for the new target frequency response. The filter with null constraint can be designed without constraint by transformation of the original basis functions. The transformation is represented by a basis for the null space of the constraint. In this paper, we show that the transformed basis set also forms a Tchebycheff set. This fact indicates the proposed design is optimal in the Tchebycheff sense. The optimal filter is deigned by the Remez method according to the new target frequency response in transformed basis. Design examples suggest that the proposed algorithm converges fast and stably

John Seely Brown: Pursuing Passion to Increase Potential
John Seely Brown: Pursuing Passion to Increase Potential I would rather hire a high-level World of Warcraft player than a NBA from Harvard. Why is a game, a massive multiplayer game that has maybe 12 million people or more playing it like the World of Warcraft so important at both the individual level and maybe at the corporate level? To understand these massive multiplayer games like World of Warcraft, do not think about it as just game play, but look at the social life on the edge of the game. On a typical night there will be approximately 15,000 new strategic ideas created about the world. If you want to compete that night or the next day, somehow you have to appropriate in your own play what 15,000 new ideas mean to you in order to go into the high-end raid. Most of these high-end performance groups in World of Warcraft create guild; you have to have a guild to do anything because it's fundamentally a collaborative game. These guilds will be sometimes 100, 200 people. Guess what? They don't have a bonus structure to guide them to incent them. Only passion, only interest works. And what you have to have is find a way to turn this guild structure of several hundred people into knowledge refining groups. So basically self-organizing to some extent, things start to happen particularly groups go off and say, "I'm going to study this, I'm going to study this, I'm going to try this idea out and by tonight I will have consolidated all this class of ideas about how this particular new magic potion might actually work to re-heal you faster, blah, blah, blah." So what we've done is we've turned this entire kind of social organization into an ideation structure and an idea refinement structure all as more or less self-organizing groups. Show me anything that happens in the corporate world that has 15,000 new strategic ideas. Possibly biotech does, but no world I know about in the corporate world. We think about ten new ideas already overloading us, 10,000 is unthinkable. When we look in to the social structures and the knowledge capability, refining and generation capabilities of this guild structures, there is something going on here. Now, these are not just self-organizing groups. Basically every high-end guild has a constitution. The leaders of these guilds also have to do dispute adjudication all the time. They also have to be willing to say, "Let's measure ourselves." These guilds are truly meritocracy based. So even if you were the leader of this particular high-end raid, at the end you do an after action review and the after action review each person is open to total criticism by everybody else. You can replay the whole thing because basically its all computer meditated so it can be captured. But equally interesting to me is you can't play in these complex worlds without building dashboards. And these are dashboards that are measuring you, are measuring your […]

I hate you! And 5 reasons you really shouldn't mind.
Recently, a client told me they were hesitant to get into social media because people might use it to complain about them publicly. This fear is not uncommon, or unfounded. People do use Facebook, Twitter, blog comments and other channels to kvetch, sometimes loudly, even profanely. Here's what you can do about it. Don't give them much to complain about. The client that prompted this post is a top-notch outfit; its fans will far outweigh any detractors. Be happy you found out about a problem. So often, customers just go away and don't say why; you can't fix it if you don't know what it is. You can't please everybody. And everybody knows that. The crackpots will stand out, and you want to know where the truly nutty ones are. This is your opportunity to shine. People make mistakes. Customers and prospects will be impressed by how well you handle complaints. You can delete the really bad stuff. True, it's hard to unring the bell, but it doesn't have to ring forever. Profane, unfair, irrelevant or overly snarky posts can go away. The point of social media is to be personal, to be real, and human interactions are going to be messy. Embrace the mess and get out there. How do you deal with negative comments...Read More

Resource Letter MPRT-1: Medical Physics in Radiation Therapy77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3174920View Description Hide Description
This resource letter provides a guide to the literature on medical physics in the field of radiation therapy. Journal articles, books, and websites are cited for the following topics: radiological physics, particle accelerators, radiationdose measurements, protocols for radiationdose measurements, radiation shielding and radiation protection, neutron, proton, and heavy-ion therapies, imaging for radiation therapy, brachytherapy, quality assurance, treatment planning, dose calculations, and intensity-modulated and image-guided therapy.
Anti-Newtonian dynamics77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3157152View Description Hide Description
This paper describes a world in which Newton's first and second laws hold, but Newton's third law takes the form that the forces between any two objects are equal in magnitude and direction. The dynamics for such a system exhibit curious and unfamiliar features including chaos for two bodies in two spatial dimensions.
Application of high-speed imaging to determine the dynamics of billiards77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3157159View Description Hide Description
In spite of interest in the dynamics of the billiards family of games (for example, pool and snooker), experiments using present-day inexpensive and easily accessible cameras have not been reported. We use a single high-speed camera and image processing techniques to track the trajectory of snooker balls to 1 mm accuracy. Successive ball positions are used to measure the dynamical parameters involved in snooker. Values for the rolling and the sliding coefficients of friction were found. The cushion-ball impact was studied for impacts perpendicular to the cushion. The separation angles and separation velocities after an oblique collision were measured and compared with predicted values. Our measurement technique is a simple, reliable, fast, and nonintrusive method, which can be used to test the numerous theories for the dynamics of billiards. The addition of a spin tracking element would further broaden its capabilities.
The rainbow as a student project involving numerical calculations77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3152991View Description Hide Description
It is a challenge to find interesting and realistic projects where numerical methods can be used to enhance student understanding of physical phenomena. We present such a project in which a group of students used numerical methods to analyze the physics of the rainbow. The project is suitable for students in an undergraduatephysics course on the basic principles of geometrical optics. The central part of this paper is written by a group of students, and the introduction and discussion are written by their teacher. In this way both the students' and teacher's perspectives on using numerical methods are presented.
Einstein on mass and energy77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3160671View Description Hide Description
This paper explores the evolution of Einstein's understanding of mass and energy. Early on, Einstein embraced the idea of a speed-dependent mass but changed his mind in 1906 and thereafter carefully avoided that notion entirely. He shunned, and explicitly rejected, what later came to be known as "relativistic mass." Nonetheless many textbooks and articles credit him with the relation , where is the total energy, is the relativistic mass, and is the vacuum speed of light. Einstein never derived this relation, at least not with that understanding of the meaning of its terms. He consistently related the "rest energy" of a system to its invariant inertial mass.
Quadrupolar contact fields: Theory and applications77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3138700View Description Hide Description
Contact terms for the electric dipole and magnetic dipole fields are well known. We give a simple derivation of the contact term of the electric quadrupole field. We then consider applications to the surface potential across a vapor/liquid interface of a nonpolar fluid, an extension of Jackson's theorems for the mean electric fields for spherical regions of space with and without a fixed system of charges, and hyperfineinteractions due to the electric quadrupole-monopole and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions of two bound particles of spin one or greater.
Magnetic dipoles and electric currents77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3139186View Description Hide Description
We discuss several similarities and differences between the concepts of electric and magnetic dipoles. We then consider the relationship between the magnetic dipole and a current loop and show that in the limit of a pointlike circuit, their magnetic fields coincide. The presentation is accessible to undergraduate students with knowledge on the basic ideas of classical electromagnetism.
Higher harmonic detection employing wavelength modulation spectroscopy and near infrared diode lasers: An undergraduate experiment77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3141043View Description Hide Description
Frequency modulation and harmonic detection are extensively employed in a variety of experimental techniques and offer a detection sensitivity limited only by quantum noise. We discuss a simple experiment using wavelength modulation spectroscopy and near infrared diode lasers operating in the 780 nm region to detect rubidium hyperfine spectra.Modulation spectroscopy techniques are employed to improve the signal to noise ratio for the detection of weak signals and thus significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity for detection. By using quantum cascade lasers and wavelength modulation spectroscopy, one can detect trace species at sub-ppm level, which has numerous applications in diverse areas such as medical diagnostics, food processing, industrial applications, and environmental monitoring.
Hidden momentum, field momentum, and electromagnetic impulse77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3152712View Description Hide Description
Electromagnetic fields carry energy, momentum, and angular momentum. The momentum density, , accounts (among other things) for the pressure of light. But even static fields can carry momentum, and this would appear to contradict a general theorem that the total momentum of a closed system is zero if its center of energy is at rest. In such cases, there must be some other (nonelectromagnetic) momenta that cancel the field momentum. What is the nature of this "hidden momentum" and what happens to it when the electromagnetic fields are turned off?
Mechanics of two pendulums coupled by a stressed spring77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3147211View Description Hide Description
The mechanics of two pendulums coupled by a stressed spring is discussed, and the behavior for small oscillations is described. When the system is in its highest symmetry configuration, the pendulums are independent and the normal frequencies are degenerate.
Explicit gauge covariant Euler–Lagrange equation77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3153503View Description Hide Description
The application of a gauge covariant derivative to the Euler–Lagrange equation yields a shortcut to the equations of motion for a field subject to an external force. The gauge covariant derivative includes an external force as an intrinsic part of the derivative and hence simplifies Lagrangians containing tensor and gauge covariant fields. The gauge covariant derivative used in the covariant Euler–Lagrange equation is presented as an extension of the coordinate covariant derivative used in tensor analysis. Several examples provide useful demonstrations of the covariant derivative relevant to studies in general relativity and gauge theory.

An introduction to inertial navigation77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3081061View Description Hide Description
In most introductory physics courses, the first equations encountered are the kinematic equations. Though the emphasis at this level tends to be on cases of constant acceleration, many real-world examples of motion are not so simple. We describe the use of inexpensive hobbyist-grade accelerometers and spreadsheet software to explore inertial navigation via numerical integration of the measuredacceleration.
A classroom demonstration of levitation and suspension of a superconductor over a magnetic track77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3095809View Description Hide Description
The suspension and levitation of superconductors by permanent magnets is a fascinating consequence of superconductivity, and a wonderful way to generate interest in low-temperature physics and electrodynamics. We present a classroom demonstration of the levitation/suspension of a superconductor over a magnetic track that maximizes the levitation/suspension time and the separation distance between the magnetic track and superconductor. The demonstration, as described, is both inexpensive and easy to construct.

Echoes from the Moon77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3098261View Description Hide Description
We report on a determination of the Earth-Moon distance, performed by students of an Italian high school, based on measurements of the time delay of the "echo" in the radio communications between NASA mission control in Houston and the Apollo astronauts on the lunar surface. By using open-source audio-editing software, the distance can be determined with accuracy, allowing us to observe the effect of the eccentricity of the orbit of the Moon.
Chaos control: The problem of a bouncing ball revisited77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3148565View Description Hide Description
The problem of a body bouncing on a periodically oscillating surface is revisited to demonstrate chaos control. When the bouncing body is magnetic, it is possible to modify its behavior by adding a magnetic driving force. The mechanism of chaos control may be understood by means of a mechanical analysis which shows that the main result of applying the driving force is to shift the bifurcation diagram in such a way that chaotic behavior is replaced by periodic behavior and vice versa. A simple experiment is presented, along with a numerical simulation, that provides insight into chaos control.

They used to kill that dog. In the original version, they ate him.
"You need to know who Billy Wilder was. You need to know the names of people who are no longer alive. Because it's very important—it's what our history is made of. You need to see the movies the way they were—with the racism, the violence, and the censorship. All the things that let you see what the movie past had been so you understand where we are! But really nobody's interested in that right now. Their interests are so bifurcated." - An interview with Joe Dante (Part 1, Part 2)
Bright Lights for Christmas
I am a south korean Homeless Man and New Upgrade!
A homeless man in DC has a wordpress blog which he posts images to using a remote camera. I saw this man in the DC metro yesterday, hauling a shopping cart around that not only contained his clothes, but was also festooned with cardboard signs advertising different web addresses. Wandoojin.wordpress.com was the only one I could make out, and though the fellow is clearly disturbed (though the site is not disturbing), to me it's a fascinating look at how accessible technology is to everyone, especially the folks who have too many words, images of Gremlins sitting on the US, and conspiracy theories involving Teddy Kennedy and the Clintons to keep to himself. Also, he's apparently made good use of the Apple store near my office. (I wonder if he knows the Arlington rap?)
Gremlin in the machine
In the middle of the movie Gremlins 2, there is a sequence where the film seems to break, and where the gremlins invade the projection booth. For the VHS edition in the early 90's, they reshot a special sequence where the VHS tape seemed to be torn apart and in which the gremlins invaded a John Wayne movie. The DVD just kept the original theatrical version.

After i've configurated my shipping zones, i need to determine if a product is avalaible in that zone or not.
Because i've some retailers and i can't sell all of my products in a determinate zone.
For example i can sell in Austria, but not all of my products availables in my e-shop.
How can i do this?

Looking good Cheryl. Nice crystal clear water.
Very nice. Good to see that the spawning went ok. Really curious on the results in October.
Looking good Cheryl. Hope your husband is mild to you so you can finish the main pond as well. :) :)
That is a good start of your built.
That sure is looking good.
Looking good. Nice to see them coming out of the mud.
I think we all would love an update on this topic... At least i would. :)
YES. Water. Way to go. Very nicely done Cheryl. Almost time for the first Koi.
Russell, i find it a bit strange that you describe medication even if you don't know what it is. That to me sounds very very strange. Only use medication when you know what it is. That is what i...
Well done. Looks like you will be done with this one before winter sets in.
I see a next project coming up here on Koiphen. :) :) :)
Pond temperature is 24 Celcius. That is 75.2 Fahrenheit. I expect it to go up more the coming weeks.
Sorry to say but you are all guessing. The only thing you can do is get a koidoc in. He/she should be checking on bacteria and KHV(pcr/elisa). That is the only way. Specially because so many koi...
What I noticed quite a few times is that when gill plate keeps shut, the koi suffers from gill flukes. Checking that would be a good thing.
Looking good Cheryl. Very clean work.... I would not be able to work as you do. My place would be a mess.
Hi Wayne,
Looking good. Will keep on following this thread to see how they will develop and what will they become.
Hi Haab,
You really have an amazing place. What a view from your house. It must be a pleasure living there. You are right about removing the trees. They can keep your house warm during colder...
Why not use sandwich panels? Using these will speed up the built and isolate as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel
What do you feed them if I may ask? I used artemia for the fry.
IF there is some sumi in the mouth it is a Showa else a Sanke.
If done very carefully you can stitch the tear on the fin. I have done that a few times and it heals quickly.
Hi, I would keep these as 2 separate systems. If by chance you don't have any fry in the fry pond and there is something wrong with a koi in your main pond you can use the fry pond as a quarantine...
Looking good. I specially love the skinquality of the Sanke. The shiroji is very very white.
Really looking good.
Here a PM as well. And people think I am stupid enough to click on the link provided..... He can guess again. :)
Very nice built.Really love looking at it. Wish I had the space to build a tank like that.
I question. You mentioned that you wanted to save energy what I can understand completely but why not go...
Very nice pond indeed.
Temp is still 50 Fahrenheit here.
Here the pond temp is 10Celcius. (sorry don't know what is it in Fahrenheit.)
Hi all,
I was wondering if people were covering their pond for the wintertime and how you do that. For myself I do cover the pond. it is a simply way but effective. The water temperature does not...
I understand why you use these as your oyagoi. Really love seeing them. What size are these approx.?
Cheryl, I admire you patience in this. I would have gone mad in this pace.... Keep up the good work. Will keep on following this topic. :)
They are looking good. Really want to see how they will develop. Keep it up.
I really love how the koi look like now. You sure are getting where you want to be with the Ki-Shusui. Keep it up.
Looking good and will certainly will prevent the room to cooldown quickly.
Beautiful pictures.
Congratulations on your babygirl.
I love watching the progress on this built. In 2 months it will already be a lot colder in Poland.
Looking good Haab. I recon you have enough wood to heat your house during the whole winter. Keep the pics coming. I love looking to see you progress.
Nice and warm. Same here in Netherlands.
I would love to see that place for real... simply beautifull.
That is a lot of work you have done, but also a lot to do more if i see it correctly. Keep up the good work. :)
I used the Minfin once. You really need to be carefull in using it as with just a little overdose you can already kill your koi. But it did help.
Just a little misleading title. hahahahaha
If i am correct the Jumbo Champion is 114cm. It really is a huge Chagoi.
Hi. It should be public now.
Here the Jumbo Champion of the Shinkokai 2014 and the Sanke that was talked about on the video of Patrick. The Sanke is 94cm.
WOW. Just read this whole thread. That i missed this one..... A very good looking pond and garden. Very impressive built.

This is the first time in three weeks that I've been able to sit down and not feel like the world was spinning four times faster than normal while I sat in the corner stuffing Oreo's into my mouth and watched. One of my five "Best Life" challenges this year was to work on my career. After standing in the unemployment line for a little over 8 months, I promised myself that I would get back on a career track so that I could be the successful person that I want to be. Well, I approached the tracks and hopped on that train and woke up in LA. OK, it was a little more labored than that…
In November, my recruiter approached me with an opportunity to work for an advertising agency in Los Angeles. I was hesitant at first, but after thinking about it, decided it wouldn't hurt to take a stab at a position out of state since nothing was coming to fruition in The Pacific Northwest. I've always wanted to live in LA, but never wanted to move on a whim, so when this opportunity presented itself and I found out who the client was (hint: it's a very famous fruit) I jumped. Three months later and two "I'm sorry, but the position has been filled's" I got call to come down for an interview. I met with seven people at the agency including the president and left feeling really good about things. Then I found out (for the third time) that the position wasn't going to work out – this time because of budgetary issues.
After all the back and forth and the emotional ups and downs I decided that things happened for a reason and that I should just finish out my contract at my then current employer and see what would happen next. Of course, I then got a call saying that things had changed and the job was mine if I wanted. My emotions ran the gamut. Happy – sad, excited – nervous, freaked out – ecstatic – you name it. I found out on February 15th that there would be an offer coming, got the offer on the 18th, put my notice in on the 19th, last day was on March 5th and I left my home on Monday the 8th. My mom and I drove down on Monday, got to LA Tuesday morning and started looking for apartments immediately. Found a place on Wednesday, got the keys Sunday and I started work on Monday. WHIRLWIND!
This has been the biggest change in my life since I moved to Seattle from University Place (40 minute drive) to go to college. My stuff arrived last Saturday and I was sure that once I unpacked it would hit me that this is home, but for some reason it's only slowly sinking in. I actually don't really feel like I have a home – just that I'm in this weird in-between state. I'm sure it'll take some – a lot – of getting used to, but I'm looking forward to what this has to offer and hopeful that it's everything I thought it would be. Maybe this will continue to jump start my "best life challenge" – get my body in shape ('cause I swear no one down here does anything but work out and wear tank tops), get some debt taken care of, read a few books and pick up a hobby (if the 60+ hour work weeks don't kill me first).
All-in-all, I'm confident in my decision to make this change – nervous and a little unsure of my footing at times – but confident. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the support from my friends and family, who encouraged me every step of the way. I miss them more and more each day, but take comfort in the fact that they are only a short plane-ride away. So – friends and family, if you read this, thank you. I appreciate you more than you know.
LA readers, I have a few friends down here, but would love some suggestions on places to go/things to do.

Blogs Cliopatria CRACK DOWN HAS BEGUNJun 20, 2009 3:18 pm
Excellent summary of where we are now: It seems (my opinion only) that agent provocateurs have caused violence (burning of a building; suicide bombing in mosque), attributed it to the Mousavi forces and the excuse for the massive police crack down has been found. Andrew Sullivan is has the latest mainly from the twitters and so does Nico Pitny from the Guardian. For analysis of the internal Iranian state of affairs see Michael Ledeen's So, now, it's Saturday in Iran. Mousavi wrote a letter (rough translation) enumerating his complains. It's all about commitment and grit now.
Latest video of clashes. BBC added satellite space to their Persian channel. This time they are on the right side. Listen to the gun shots in the first one -
"Death to Khamenie"
IRAN EXPERT AFSHIN MOLAVI 'Khamenei Has Never Seen a Crisis Like This'
Molavi: I think the Obama administration should not actively take a political side in the internal struggle. However, it should speak out against egregious human rights violations. Their initial reaction has been a little too tepid. But in my view, it is not just about Obama: I get the sense from Iranian cyberspace that they are very keen on hearing from global civil society. They want people around the world to stand in solidarity with them. One idea floating around is that people from Berlin, Paris, London, Cairo, or Washington, or wherever in the world, do one simple thing: wear green, which was the color of Mousavi's campaign, and has become the color of justice for Iranians. I think global civil society will have a far bigger impact than Obama could.
In any case, Obama may be too busy with telling fathers how to parent but the Iranian diaspora and their sympathisers are speaking out, G-d bless them:

Figure 4. Probability of developing hypothyroidism according to radiation dose in 5-year survivors of childhood cancer. Data from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. Sklar C, Whitton J, Mertens A, Stovall M, Green D, Marina N, Greffe B, Wolden S, Robison L: Abnormalities of the Thyroid in Survivors of Hodgkin's Disease: Data from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 85 (9): 3227-3232, September 1, 2000. Copyright 2000, The Endocrine Society.
As might be expected, children treated for head and neck malignancies are also at risk for primary hypothyroidism if the neck is irradiated. The German Group of Paediatric Radiation Oncology reported on 1,086 patients treated at 62 centers, including 404 patients (median age, 10.9 years) who had received radiation therapy to the thyroid gland and/or hypophysis. Follow-up information was available for 264 patients (60.9%; median follow-up, 40 months), with 60 patients (22.7%) showing pathologic values. In comparison to patients treated with prophylactic cranial irradiation (median dose, 12 Gy), patients with radiation doses of 15 Gy to 25 Gy to the thyroid gland had a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.072 (P = .002) for the development of pathologic thyroid blood values. Patients with greater than 25 Gy to the thyroid gland and patients who underwent craniospinal irradiation had HR of 3.768 (P = .009) and 5.674 (P < .001), respectively. The cumulative incidence of thyroid hormone substitution therapy did not differ between defined subgroups.[9]
Thyroid nodules
Any radiation field that includes the thyroid is associated with an excess risk of thyroid neoplasms, which may be benign (usually adenomas) or malignant (most often differentiated papillary carcinoma).[8,10,11,12,13] The clinical manifestation of thyroid neoplasia among childhood cancer survivors ranges from asymptomatic, small, solitary nodules to large, intrathoracic goiters that compress adjacent structures. CCSS investigators performed a nested case-control study to evaluate the magnitude of risk for thyroid cancer over the therapeutic radiation dose range of pediatric cancers. The risk of thyroid cancer increased with radiation doses up to 20 Gy to 29 Gy (odds ratio [OR], 9.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.2-34.8), but declined at doses greater than 30 Gy, consistent with a cell-killing effect.[13] The risk of thyroid nodule development increases with increasing time from radiation exposure. In a study of HL survivors, CCSS investigators identified time from diagnosis, female gender, and radiation dose of 25 Gy or more as significant risk factors for thyroid nodule development.[8] Based on a cohort of 3,254 2-year childhood cancer survivors treated before 1986 and monitored for 25 years, the risk of thyroid adenoma increased with the size of the radiation dose to the thyroid during childhood cancer treatment and plateaued at doses exceeding 10 Gy. The risk of thyroid adenoma per unit of radiation dose to the thyroid was higher if radiation therapy had been delivered before age 5 years and before the attained age of 4 years.[11] Younger age at radiation therapy has also been linked to an excess risk of thyroid carcinoma.[10,11,12,13] An increased risk of thyroid nodules/cancer has also been observed in association with chemotherapy, independent of radiation exposure.[10,11]

Historical Traveler Reviews Executive Inn and Suites Oakland
Great value but slow in service
Great value, they even upgraded us to the new suites. We love the large jacuzze tub and the king size bed. Took 2 days to get maintence to fix the leaky toilet and the ant infestation never got resolve when we checked out 4 days later. We were in rooms 393 and 394, they both had an ant problem. They were crawling in the bathroom area and the coffee bar area. Otherwise, for $99 per room it was the best deal for the area. It included breakfast, a daily paper and free shuttle to the Oakland Airport.
Was a little aprehensive at first because the drive up to the reception area in the older building was a little shabby. Inside was neat and clean and the reception staff pleasant. However, stayed in the new building, very new. The rooms were beautifully appointed with stylish modern furnishings not the normal boring hotel/motel fare. Very comfortable beds. Hi speed internet connection on good size desk with real desk chair. Oversize bathrooms with seperate shower and bathtub, toilet was seperated also. Loads of towels, lovely soaps and toiletries, prompt delivery of additonal pillows when requested. Mini micro & fridge, coffe maker and ample supplies of coffee and tea options. Private balcony overlooked water, view of San Francisco skyline in distance Nice/average continental breakfast served in lobby.
Was very impressed and will stay there on next trip to Oakland.
Too little for too much
Shuttle service: Over the phone they told me it would be no longer than 15 minutes from arrival at the airport. It took 2 calls and 55 minutes; They did not tell me about the evening hourve dourves and cookies; shuttle service to Jack London Square was free....if you wanted to schedule an hour or more in advance. The rooms are far from minimal for the rates they charge. No hand towels. The jacuzzi was warm at most. I would not recommend this to anyone...and I stay in a lot of hotels.
Better value than chain hotels
Love the cool bayside location, room sizes, cleanliness, and free (!) high-speed internet in the rooms and lobby.
Wow! New Suites are Amazing!
Have stayed many times at Executive Inn due to the lovely water location- but now they have added Luxury Suites that are some of the finest accommodations I have stayed anywhere. Huge, beautifully decorated rooms and large bath with separate tub and shower. I enjoyed the free high speed internet and concierge services. Worth paying the few dollars extra.
Good Value
I have stayed at the Executive Inn more than ten times over the past two years. They offer excellent value. Reasonable rates and free breakfasts, parking and shuttle service. The rooms facing the water are very quiet with nice views. They added a frequent stay program last year which has worked well for me. They are adding 80 new rooms which I understand are going to be more upscale than the current ones. Staff is very friendly
A good bet
I've stayed at the Executive a number of times in the past five years and have had uniformly good experiences there. Nice bayfront location, spacious, well-furnished rooms, continental breakfast included. Overall a very good and reasonably priced place to stay.
Bad service
Received bad service for our group reservation - a number of system screw-up!! Made reservations week in advance and they lost me in their system - not even apologetic.
Was I surprised to see they had my credit card info, though - considering they "lost" my reservation.
Curt Receptionist, not able to help.
also if you expect incoming calls via hotel frontdesk or operator, dont expect those calls to reach you - they never will!!
Very good place to stay
I have stayed at the Executive Inn many times, they have not ever disappointed me. Great place to stay if you want to stay in the San fran area and not spend big bucks.
Good value
I've stayed here several times on business and honestly think it's one of the best values in Oakland. It's located on the water south of Jack London Square. The water view rooms are very comfortable and quiet with very nice views. They have an extensive continental breakfast and free shuttle service to the airport and downtown area. I have a business associate that also stays there. He flies into Oakland and doesn't even rent a car. They shuttle him to offices downtown and to restaurants at night. They don't have a restaurant on site other than the breakfast room but they do have a full bar. The prices are very competitive and the atmosphere very pleasant. Apparently they are getting ready to add more rooms.

The girls were all talk about how they were going to try flavors like booger, grass and stinky socks but when it came down to it they went with safe fun fruity flavors instead.

Several recent studies suggest that transfers from central to regional governments are motivated by political considerations. In this paper we examine if this is also the case for transfers from regional to central governments in the context of the German fiscal equalization system. We examine the factors that contribute to differences in tax revenues across German states. The evidence indicates that both fiscal incentives and political factors can explain these differences, although in Germany the former are more important. Moreover, accounting for fiscal institutions has important consequences for the empirical assessment of political influences on taxation. Overall we find that the political affiliation of the state governor is an important factor in explaining differences in state tax revenues. Thus, the right-wing party (CDU/CSU) is effective in relaxing the tax burden at the state level. In contrast, partisan alignment between the state government and the federal government loses its importance once fiscal conditions enter the empirical model.

Ever wonder, when you're paying a little extra for organic food, if it truly is organic? As of October 21, 2002, you'll wonder no more: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has put in place a set of national standards for organic food. To receive the government's organic seal of approval, food must be produced without the use of most conventional pesticides, petroleum-based or sewage sludge-based fertilizers, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation. Government-approved certifiers will inspect farms and companies that handle or process organic food before they can display the label. The USDA has also developed strict labeling rules for processed food; a product must be at least 95 percent organic to carry the USDA organic seal.
For more information on the USDA organic standards, visit the USDA online or call (202) 720-3252.

The Christmas Gift of a Festive Dinner
By ENID NEMY
Published: December 25, 1996
IT's hard to visualize John Loring in the kitchen, and in fact, he's rarely there. But Mr. Loring, the design director of Tiffany's, is a cook of some repute. What he won't do, under any circumstances, is whip up something for himself.
''I'd eat anything rather than do that,'' he said. Which may or may not be true, because Mr. Loring is tall and slim and looks as though he wouldn't say hello to a hot dog or a Snickers bar.
Mr. Loring believes that ''cooking is a gift you give to other people,'' and it's one of the gifts he gives to friends each Christmas.
His Christmas Eve supper party has become a tradition. As with most traditions, it simply grew from a nice idea -- looking after stray friends who might otherwise celebrate the holiday in impersonal restaurants or grazing on takeout food. For almost two decades, he has gathered anywhere from 6 to 12 friends who have no family in the city. Sometime after 10 P.M. (the evening is informal, but that doesn't mean it can't begin at a fashionable hour), his Fifth Avenue apartment wakes up. For five or six hours there's drink, talk, an exchange of gifts and food.
The unspoken mantra is ''Forget about fat, cholesterol, sodium and other 90's no-no's.'' There are no celery sticks, carrot strips or chunks of green pepper. There's a menu that begins with caviar and ends with caloric decadence, and everything, other than the dessert overload, is a result of the host's labors in the kitchen.
The evening is minutely organized, and the choreography begins weeks in advance. One early chore is shopping for the table covering at Silk Surplus on East 58th Street. Some people might recycle the old cloth, but let's not forget that Mr. Loring's profession is design and that both appearance and originality take pride of place. This adds up to a new covering every year, always patterned and always a plaid or a stripe. ''Never, never a floral'' -- he says with such emphasis that it's best not to ask why. There's no attempt made to transform the fabric into a perfect cloth. It's simply loosely stitched together to fit the table, more or less.
''Nobody notices if the cloth isn't finished properly -- the main thing is that it looks festive,'' Mr. Loring said.
Also ordered well in advance are the place cards -- Christmas cookies with the guests' names in icing -- and the desserts for the grand finale. The dessert table is off to one side of the dining room. and it features a tableau that Mr. Loring describes as ''a little forest inhabited by desserts.'' It is still another Christmas decoration but an edible one, and in Mr. Loring's words, ''an outrageous display.''
''The more absurd the desserts are, the better,'' he said. The cakes, from Colette Peters, who is known for her inventive decorations, usually include one modeled after Mr. Loring's red country house, north of Chicago, another with stars shooting hither and yon, and a third with the Empire State Building perched on it.
The evening begins late because that's the way it is in fashionable circles but also for a somewhat more valid reason -- it allows guests, if they wish, to attend an early church service. The less obvious reason, and in this case probably a more valid one, is that Mr. Loring believes ''there is something magical about a late-night supper party at this time of year.'' The magic starts with Champagne and Moscow Mules -- ginger beer, vodka and lime juice, another tradition -- and for nibblers with unlimited stomach capacity, cheese sticks.
Around 11 P.M., sometimes closer to midnight, supper is served.
Fresh salmon caviar begins the meal, accompanied by sour cream. A dollop or more of both go on top of white bean or beet and potato salad. Toast and flat bread are at hand, but don't even think chopped onion or egg. Mr. Loring doesn't discuss their pros and cons -- his face says it all.
In the past, Mr. Loring occasionally used beluga caviar, but, he said, ''I've found that everyone enjoys the red caviar just as much.'' So these days, red it is.
The original main course -- roast duck and braised sauerkraut -- was dropped several years ago because these dishes were ''too heavy,'' Mr. Loring said. They have been replaced by roast fillets of beef and ''a nice selection of vegetables.''
Not included in that ''nice selection'' is the corn pudding, a concoction that occupies a niche of its own. Mr. Loring claims, with some pride, that it has become ''notorious.'' Basically this means that it's an original Loring and that it has considerably enhanced his culinary reputation. It's not an original in the same class as his paintings (yes, he's a painter, too -- a post-Pop realist -- and was one even before he became a design director), but this is a supper party, and corn pudding is more edible than paintings.
Getting back to the festivities, there are a couple of added attractions. One is the little gift box that Mr. Loring puts at each place, and another is an array of inexpensive gifts everyone brings for everyone else, gifts that range from nice to silly. ''It's fun to have mounds of them,'' Mr. Loring said.

Known fully as 'Nind Vel'uss Tahcaluss whol nind ehmtu siltrin' or 'They Who Hunger for Their Own Flesh'
Dwarven Undead with a hunger that won't be satiated by simply your blood, brains, or flesh.
He raised his sword to fight the foul undead thing in front of him, which was when it threw something only just glimpsed in the beam of his torch at him. When he blocked it with his sword, the resulting explosion both shattered his sword and took off his hand. As he turned to flee, screaming in pain, the Dumuzid he was facing stabbed him again and again until he fell dead to the sandy floor of the tomb.
The Nurglur stand taller than a man, though they are stooped and hunched so their faces lie at a height similar to ours. Their bodies are slim with a muscled, wiry strenght and their feet are turned with three bird like talons.

A magical stave with two distinct uses. One end is a healing stick, which can heal some quite serious diseases, the other half can be used to inflict those diseases on other people.

ASUS Radeon HD 6770 DirectCU Silent review -
Radeon HD Series 6770 Specs
Radeon HD Series
5770 6770 Specs
The "new" Radeon HD 6700 series GPUs have 1040 million transistors. Correct, that is 1+ billion transistors tucked away in a small chip. The fabrication node, just like the 5800 series, is 40nm for this product.
- The reference Radeon HD 5770 / 6770 will be clocked at 850 MHz. Its memory is clocked at 1200 MHz (4800 MHz effective).
- The ASUS 6770 DirectCU Silent is clocked at 850 MHz and the memory is clocked at 1000 MHz (4000 MHz effective).
Shader processors then; similar to the Radeon HD 4850/4870/4890/5770 and now 6770, will have 800 Shader processors again... same 40nm chip.
The number of ROP units are rocking steady at 16 and sure -- texture units remain at 40 for the 6770.
These numbers are reasonably good, for the money this is a nice entry level product series. Much of the magic is thanks to the fact that ATI sticks to DDR5 for their mid-range and high-end products. On the 6770 they'll crank it down a notch as we get 128-bit memory, cutting the bandwidth in half from 256-bit. However, since it's GDDR5 memory (quad data rate) it will still offer sufficient bandwidth, 80GB/sec of it actually.
But sure the culprit of the 5700/6700 series will be that cut off memory bandwidth, and this is the reason why its performance actually will be slightly lower (on average) than say a Radeon HD 4870.
So the card while cooled passively, is clocked at 850 MHz and the 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 memory clocks in at an effective data-rate of 4000 MHz, slightly slower than reference actually. As said before, this product has 800 shader processors.

The premier hickory golf tournament in the United States will be held at the Miami Valley Golf Club in Dayton, Ohio, July 19-21.
Miami Valley is a Donald Ross course that was completed in 1919. It has hosted such important events as the 1931 Western Open (won by Ed Dudley over Walter Hagen) and the 1957 PGA, the last held at match play.

About the Gala
On Friday, October 23, at 7:00 p.m., The W family, including students from the Ina E. Gordy Honors College, alumni, and community members, are invited to join us for an elegant evening on campus. The Welty Gala begins with a cocktail reception with this year's Welty Symposium authors followed by dinner and a presentation by best-selling author and leading political satirist P.J. O'Rourke.
The Welty Gala is our annual fundraiser for the MUW Scholarship Fund, which funds general scholarships. To ensure the success of this event, The W is seeking supporters who will participate as Benefactors, Patrons, and Friends. The Welty Gala is a tremendous asset for The W and the local community. We are especially grateful and appreciative of your support for this event and the opportunity it provides our Honors College students to further their academic experience beyond the classroom.
About the Speaker
"O'Rourke is probably the most resilient comedy writer to come out of the early National Lampoon. He saw through the anarchists' narcissism, and has been satirizing it for years in Rolling Stone and elsewhere. But the conservative O'Rourke was reviled by the Lampoon staff, who saw themselves as consummately leftwing— or disorganized, or real, or drunk, or something. For his pains, O'Rourke, who was more professional than they, and more reliably funny, won the indignation of his colleagues, whom he later left in the dust. If anyone 'changed comedy forever,' it was O'Rourke." - The New York Times
With more than 1 million words of trenchant journalism under his byline and more citations in The Penguin Dictionary of Humorous Quotations than any living writer, P. J. O'Rourke has established himself as America's premier political satirist. He is the best-selling author of 15 books, including Parliament of Whores, Republican Party Reptile, Holidays in Hell, Give War a Chance, Eat the Rich, The CEO of the Sofa, and On the Wealth of Nations (he read the whole darn thing – so you don't have to). Just out in paperback is his all-too-prescient take on the current election cycle, Don't Vote – It Just Encourages the Bastards. And his newest book, Holidays in Heck, recounts the international travel adventures of a former war reporter now accompanied by his family and wishing he were back under artillery fire. Both TIME and The Wall Street Journal have labeled O'Rourke "the funniest writer in America."
Born in Toledo, Ohio, P. J. O'Rourke attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and graduate school at Johns Hopkins, where he was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow. After receiving an M.A. in English, he worked at small newspapers in Baltimore and New York.
In the early 1970s, he joined The National Lampoon where he became editor-in-chief and created (with Doug Kenney) the classic 1964 High School Yearbook Parody.
Concluding in the '80s that the real world was funnier than anything National Lampoon's writers could create, he became a foreign correspondent and has covered crises and conflicts in more than 70 countries.
O'Rourke has written for such diverse publications as The Wall Street Journal, Car and Driver, PARADE, House & Garden, Forbes Life, The Atlantic Monthly, and Rolling Stone, where he was the foreign-affairs desk chief for 15 years. He is a contributing editor at The Weekly Standard, the H.L. Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington, DC, and a frequent panelist on National Public Radio's game show "Wait, Wait…Don't Tell Me!"
Covering current events, O'Rourke combines the skill and discipline of an investigative reporter with a comedian's sense of the absurd and the stupid. Known as a hard-bitten, cigar-smoking conservative, he, in fact, bashes all political persuasions. As he puts it, "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." Whether dealing with the inner workings of Washington bureaucracy or the shifting political and economic sands of the new world disorder, O'Rourke proves himself to be a savvy guide to national and global affairs. His razor sharp insights never fail to inform and entertain.

This fadeless design roll was perfect for what I needed! We ordered the weathered wood roll to use as a backdrop at my son's birthday party, and it is great! The quality is really nice, and the price was way more affordable than I was excpecting! We're really happy with this product!

Used for my classroom bulletin boards, gives them a modern feel without the tacky butcher paper feel. The roll is huge and will last at least the next three years or several classrooms of bulletin boards. LOVE this paper. Looks super nice and I have had so many compliments.
Told everyone I tore down an old barn for my new ceiling!
By Old DIY Guy
from Clermont, Flroida
Saw them put it on a ceiling on TV. They used staples, which wouldn't work for me. Had to prime the knockdown part of the old ceiling, and the rest of the ceiling was finished drywall. Fantastic! The differences and imperfections in the two old ceiling types really adds to the 3D experience of the pattern. Guests ask where the barn was from which I got the wood! Could only put 2' X 2' up at a time, and paste the ceiling - not the paper. Got a brand new 13' X 30' ceiling for under $100.

Received it faster than expected. A bit thin, comparable to average gift wrap. Works fine for my purposes which is background for shelving in a retail environment.
Fadeless Design Rolls are life
By No Nickname
from Portland, OR
Every Halloween I decorate primarily with these paper rolls and cardboard and it always looks GREAT! This is a very reasonably priced way to step up the look of your decorations with something as simple as patterned paper. I haven't found these rolls in Blick stores so only order them online. High quality, very versatile.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Acrylic Paint
What was your source for this piece?
Tell us a little more about your inspiration. A large pond I saw while driving to Knoxville, TN
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this piece. Acrylic Paint on Canvas 30"x 40". Second painting of this scene. Project was about 30 hours. Lots of time spend adjusting the reflections in the water
Thank you. Keep on painting!
WOW! I love the calming feeling I get from your artwork! that are gorgeous
Thank you. My hope is to calm people down and encourage them to remember to take the time once in a while to look around and remember all the beauty we have been given to enjoy in the world around us. And to remind myself :)
Great painting, it is so inviting, was it hard to execute? I'm blown away!!!
Thank you! I guess that I find pretty much every painting I do 'hard to execute' :) I think that every artist is always seeking to improve and learn (and try) new things, so I don't know if it every gets easier! The biggest challenge I have with this one was the water. There are probably 20 layers of paint in parts of it. Because acrylics dry so fast, the subtle shits in color come from layering colors on top of one another....at least that's the way that works for me. Once again....thank you for your kind comment!
