Thursday Thoughts and Prayer Requests
Today I got my done. I love getting my hair done. I got it cut and colored. Not too much of a change. More bangs, more layers, some blond , and a wee trim off the ends. I have worked for about two years now to grow my hair out. I debate cutting it but I'm just not ready yet.
I'm also packing to go on a field trip with Allie overnight tonight. We are headed to Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN to sleep with the sharks. Yep. I said to sleep with the sharks. Allie is thrilled about the whole thing. While I am NOT thrilled at sleeping in a tunnel surrounded my more water than I care to think about full of more sharks that I dare to think about, I am so happy this Allie wanted me to go with her on this trip. We are in for a long night. Bedtime for these fourth graders isn't until 12:30AM tonight and then we are up and back at it again by 7 in the morning. I'm tired just thinking about it.......
After the field trip tomorrow, we are coming home and loading the car to head to Georgia. Spring Break starts tomorrow for us and we are going to visit the grandparents as well as helping with a Reception for my youngest step-sister who got married in February.
SO, I wanted to get on here real quick to tell ya'll what I'm up to and to ask for some specific prayer.
1) Ya'll know how my anxiety is. Sleeping with sharks is really freaking me out. SO, just pray that when I lay down in the sleeping bag on top of that camping pad tonight that I can actually go to sleep. This late 30 something year old girl doesn't sleep well on floors. OH. and probably not so good with sharks staring at me, either. See? Ya'll pray!
2) Since I suspect that I won't get a lot of sleep tonight, I'm asking ya'll to pray for safety and clear headedness to drive the 3 hours to Georgia tomorrow afternoon. AND that I get all these bags packed that I need to get packed in the next 2 hours!!!! No, no I haven't really started. ugh.... I will have a bit of time to finish tomorrow....but pray for quick hands and quick work.
OK, that's it!
Thanks, everybody!!!
See you next week. {Pray for a safe return next Tuesday for my family, too}

Surrendering to the Hard Way
Last Sunday, hubs was preaching on when Jesus said "I thirst" from the cross.
He explained that Jesus was offered a drink twice before he said that made that statement. The first time someone offered him wine mixed with myrrh or gall. Scholars believe that it was a friendly offer of a drink because myrrh or gall mixed with wine would have either made death come sooner for Jesus by poisoning him or it would have acted as a anesthetizing agent to help ease Jesus' pain.
And he said that Jesus refused this offer ( Mark 15:23).
The part that really got to me on Sunday was what followed. That Jesus chose the hard way. He chose to go through his crucifixion fully. He chose not to drink the wine/gall that would poison him or the the wine/myrrh that would ease his physical pain.
Jesus said in Matthew, that if we want to follow him, we must take up our crosses and follow him.
There are some circumstances in my life right now. Circumstances over which I have no control. I've sort of been given the hard way. And I can choose to take up my cross and follow HIM. Choose NOT to take the easy way.
To choose as my Saviour did to take the hard way. Choosing for me means laying it on the alter and simply trusting God with these circumstances. It means choosing to praise instead of complain. To seek His peace and comfort instead of wallowing in any sort of misery.
And that is just plain hard.
Some days I do an ok job at handing it over but other days ---- not so much.
Today has been one of those not so much kind of days. ugh! fail!
But i will just keep handing it over. Laying it back on the alter. And learning to trust my Lord with it all. Because I know HE is in control!!!!
SO, I'm again surrendering to the Hard Way. I want to take the easy way but I'm choosing the hard way. I will pick up my cross and follow HIM no matter what that may bring.
It's scary and hard.
It's not really what I want to choose.
But, it's what my Savior did for me.
And, who am I not to do the same?

These Girls
I'd love for you to meet these two girls!
This is Cassie and Jenny.
They are two of my favorite people in the whole world.
They are really, truly incredible young ladies!
I met them when they both {at different times} began working in our Nursery at church.
Jenny began working in our Nursery about two years ago and Cassie about a year and a half ago. {forgive me if I'm wrong, girls. Feel free to correct me. I still have Mommy brain}.....
Over the past two years, as they worked in our Nursery and then began babysitting for me outside of the Nursery, I have gotten to know them much better.
I've had the privilege of watching both of them grow closer to God and become authentic followers of Christ in that time.
I am so proud of them both for all they've done and who they've become in this time.
They are really just amazing!
Two of the most responsible people their age that I have ever met. Actually, they are more responsible than a LOT of adults I know.
Jenny is student teaching this semester and will graduate in May.
Cassie just graduated for WCU and is currently doing the job search thing.
And even though they are so busy, they take the time to love on people all the time.
They love on my kids on a bi-weekly {and sometimes much, much, more often} basis.
They show me their love in so many ways.
They babysit for me at the drop of a hat
and they pray for me and are just my friends!
Tonight, these two girls treated me to a movie.
We saw The Hunger Games, of course.
It was a great movie!
But mostly, I just relish the time spent with these two wonderful people!!!
Jenny and Cassie, the two of you are two of the most incredible people I know.
And at such a young age! Thanks for the gift of seeing THE movie tonight.
Thanks for the gift of seeing it with the two of you!
It is a blessing to know you!
I love you girls!

Lamb of God
On Friday night, Hubs and I were gifted with tickets to see a local production of
Lamb of God.
It was a Passion Play that told the Story of Jesus.
The actors did a great job and the music was awesome.
It used some popular contemporary Christian songs which I loved.
My favorite song that they sang was this one.
The lyrics are amazing.
Such a touching song......
The whole song is just incredible but look at these lyrics.....
How beautiful the tender eyes
That chose to forgive
and never despise.
How beautiful!
How beautiful!
How beautiful is the body of Christ!
And as He laid down His life.
We offer this sacrifice
That we will live
just as He died
willing to pay the price....
Those last words really got to me.
Am I?
Am I willing to pay the price just as Jesus did?
At first glance, I think we are all quick to say YES! I'm willing.
But the more I live and the more I experience in my life, I am really seeing how hard it is to live like I'm willing to pay the price. Because, by golly - sometimes my humanness jumps right up there and I am not willing to pay the price.
But, I'm praying that with the help of the Holy Spirit, I will be willing to pay the price.
To do whatever God is asking me to do no matter how hard it is or how badly I might not want to do it.
That is my prayer, tonight!
As you can see, this play gave me lots of food for thought.
Things to pray on and wrestle through with the Spirit....
So, Jerrie and Jerry --- Thank you so much for the sweet gift of a date night with the hubs and so much more!

Brunch With The Bunny 2012
Today was our churches Brunch With The Bunny.
It was a great morning!
The kids had pancakes for breakfast and then headed off to hear about the Easter Story through interactive stations.
The first station was all about Palm Sunday.
They heard the story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem and made their own palm branches to wave.
I wondered about who decided to give my three year old a pair of scissors to cut with but he did a great job!!!
After that, the kids went on to Station #2 where they learned about The Last Supper.
First by enjoying some crackers and grape juice.
They then talked about Jesus washing the disciples feet
and took turns washing one another's hands.
In Station #3, Miss Lorraine told them all about Jesus in the garden.
Mr. Scott was the craft man today and helped the kids as they made their own flower to take with them from the garden.....
Listening to the story of Jesus in the Garden.
They then met our Angel who told them about Jesus' crucifixion.
You can't tell in this picture because I turned on the flash but the kids were sitting in the dark listening to this story.....
Then they went into the light where they learned of Jesus's Resurrection and put their flowers on the cross!
Of course, the bunny was a hit!!!
Then it was time for the Egg Hunt!
Whose ready to hunt eggs?!?!?
This sweet boy loved the bunny!!!!
While we were cleaning up after the event, I got these pictures......
Lillie and Miss Polly are such sweet friends!
Pretty girls!
We then came back to our house where the girls spent time trading candy!
This is a great event!!!
If you are local and missed it, know that you were missed!!!!

Five Questions Friday Blog Hop
I don't participate in Blog hops as often as I would like to.
I've done 'Five Question Fridays' a few times in the past and I thought that
today, I thought it would be fun to play along.
Who knows, you just might learn something new about me!
So, here are the questions for today........
I would sooooooo hop on a plane and go to Europe if money were no object and I could just go and spend as much time as I wanted there. I want to see it all.
But these would be the MUST sees.....
and especially
Scotland and Italy!!!!
I would see all there is to see, eat {local fare} my way through each place.
I'm of Scottish descent so would love to go to where my family was "from" {about 250 years ago now}
And hubs family is Italian. Not 250 years ago Italian, like he's half Italian. His grandfather was from Sicily and his grandmother is Waldensian. My children are part Italian. I would LOVE to take them there and let them understand that side of their heritage since it is such a recent history.
2. What's your most recently read favorite book?
Easy! My most favorite recent read is The Help.
Loved the book. Even loved the movie!!!
3. What's your favorite Spring Break memory?
My favorite Spring Break Memory.......
Has to be from the year that I was a senior in High School.
A nice lady from our church allowed my best friend, Sonya, and I to travel to Homestead,Florida with her for Spring Break.
It was so much fun!
We went to Key Largo and Marathon Key and hung out in the incredibly warm Florida weather for 10 days.
4. What do you put in your child's Easter basket? Or, for those w/o kids, what was put in your childhood basket?
My children's Easter Baskets are filled with some candy, a few small things I know they will enjoy like earrings for the girls and cars for Brady. And usually they get something that they "need" to go with their Easter outfits....whether that is shoes, socks, hair accessories and the like.....and then maybe a tshirt or hat that I might have found on the cheap.
5. Do you get a summer haircut?
Well, I do get hair cuts in the summer but not a haircut BECAUSE it is summer.
My hair has gotten very long in the past year and though, I think I probably need to cut it shorter, I'm loving it long and it took such a long time to get it long that I am reluctant to cut it.
SO, as of right this minute, NO summer haircut for me.
That is it.
Five Questions -- Five Answers.
Wanna join in the fun?
Go here!
Have a fantastic Friday, ya'll!
I'm headed on a date later with hubs and then tomorrow morning is our Annual Brunch With The Bunny.
It's sure to be a fun time with lots of pictures to share.
Hopefully I can share them tomorrow evening!

A List
I'm tired with a capital T tonight so I am just going to give you a list.
A list of things from today.......
1) I did the Wii Just Sweat on Just Dance 3 today.
I had originally thought that for 4 "sweat drops" I was burning 1 calorie.
I think I learned today that it is between 10 and 14 sweat drops. Bummer!
I thought I was doing so well!!
OH, well.
I had a lot of fun dancing with this guy!
2) We had our first Grilled Salmon for supper tonight. With Broccoli and Baked Sweet Potatoes.
It was healthy and delicious!!
I love grilling when the weather gets warm!
3) Tonight was our girls Elementary School's Talent Show. These two were in it with their classes.
This is Lillie when I dropped her off in her classroom.
This is the kids from her class who were able to be there for the performance tonight.
Maggie's class started the whole show off right with a musical number
that they played.
It was called "The Sun" and the kids played instruments that they play in music class at school
My Mags!
Lillie's class did a great rendition of "Footloose".
They were great!
4) A package arrived for me from White House Black Market today. Funny how that always makes me happy! I adore that store. Do you?
5) I really wanted to sign Brady up for tee ball this year. {I have a thing for baseball}.
But, in this county you have to be 5 to play t-ball. Is that normal?
I remember my brother playing younger than that.
I thought for sure he could play at 3......boo!
That's it.
It's been a good Thursday.
Now I'm off to finish reading The Hunger Games.
Since I am too old for midnight movies.......

A Touch of Tuesday
Today is already looking like a busy day.
Thought I would share with you a touch of my Tuesday.....
1) Over at Sweet Southern Prep, Ashley is hosting a Giveaway that is right up my totally "southern belle" alley.
The giveaway is for a free MONOGRAM from Southern Nest. I'm not talking about a monogrammed shirt, I'm talking about an 18 inch wooden monogram that you can paint or leave as is and display in your home. I am so entering this as many times as I can. If you love monograms anywhere near as much as me, then you should go on over and enter, too! Hurry, it ends tomorrow night!
2) This morning I'm making my menu for the week and heading to the grocery store.
I found this recipe over at The Pleated Poppy.
I've never cooked Brussel Sprouts. In fact, the only time I've ever tried them, I didn't like them.
But, I think that had more to do with the place {a certain buffet type place that will remain nameless for those out there who like to eat there} rather than the sprouts themselves.
I'm thinking of trying this recipe this week. Or sometimes soon.
Do you have a good Brussel Sprouts recipe?
3)I'm working on helping put together a Reception for my littlest step-sister, Leanna. I am searching the world over {or at least the internet over} looking for 10 1/2 inch paper straws in yellow and white stripes and navy and white stripes. Hook a girl up if you know where I can find them. I am having no luck and I'm running out of time. I need to order them like today.
4) I don't think I have told ya'll that my incredible sister who I shared a picture of here yesterday is prego.
Not only is she pregnant but she is having twins!
And we found out last week that they are boys!!!
I am super excited to be having two more nephews. Time for me to do some shopping.
You can check out her blog here.....but she hasn't updated it in about 3 weeks.
I'm waiting {rather impatiently} for new ultrasound pics of Chester and Lester.
5) My house needs to be cleaned and there is laundry to do.
I also have a meeting tonight and hubs has two.
Like I said LONG day. Will be trying to figure out how to cook supper and feed everyone with meetings at 5PM, 5:30PM and 6:00PM......
6) Lastly, I wanted to share this video.
For two reasons.....
First, for all of my sweet girls who attended Saturate 2012 this past weekend, when the world attacks this week, this song is a perfect reminder. Let it uplift you!!!
Second, some of these lyrics have such incredible meaning to me right now!!!
This song is my prayer today ...especially these lyrics.
"Oh, Holy Spirit, You're my comfort.
Strengthen me, hold my head up high.
And I stand upon your Truth.
Bringing glory unto You.
And let the peace of God, let it reign.
Oh, Lord I hunger for more of You!
Rise up within me,
Let me know Your Truth.
Oh, Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
and let the peace of God, let it reign"
Have a great Tuesday!
It's time to me to get myself in gear and get it going.
Singing this song as a prayer continually today!

Saturate 2012
This past weekend was our Women's Retreat.
Thank you all who read my prayer request and prayed for us!
The Holy Spirit moved us all and He DID show up in a Mighty way....
Rivers of rushing water.....
Here are some pics from our weekend!
Our sweet speakers preparing for the group to arrive.
On Friday night, we took at quiz to see what we knew about the Holy Spirit .
We broke off for the evening around 9:30 and enjoyed some fellowship time....
The INCREDIBLE sunrise God provided on Saturday.
Saturday morning, we were led in discussions about the Holy Spirit as Oil and Fire. And then as Water and a Dove. Then we had some free time.
Some folks went shopping, some enjoyed a prayer walk, some enjoyed resting and the beauty of the mountain, some enjoyed a Taize Worship Service, and some enjoyed the hot tub.
Some enjoyed all of the above.
On Saturday night, we talked about surrendering to the Spirit.
And on Sunday morning, so many of the ladies did just that!!!
It was an awesome thing to be a part of .
I also love that I was at a vantage point to watch these women be touched by HIM.
The mountains as we were leaving on Sunday.....
Part of our group.....
Had ladies standing on the balcony above this.
Gotta get someone to make me one big picture of the whole group!!!
Some of our precious ladies!
This is me and my sister!
I love that she was able to join us again this year.
I love her!
And this is me with our two speakers.
These two ladies are my friends and my mentors. They are so very special to me. They know all the good, bad, and ugly things about me and love me anyway.
I love them so very much for who they are to me and I was so happy to be able to share them with my church ladies this weekend.
One of my favorite pictures from the weekend. A timely reminder......
LOVE these girls.......
And I love this shot.
Beautiful girls!
I had a couple of more pictures to share but I am out of storage on my blog.
Guess I will be remedying that tomorrow!
Anyway, it was a truly wonderful weekend.

Ehem, back to the topic, this is the best episode for me. Somehow this one has more natural pacing compared to previous one. Finally the show seems to be heading the direction it intended (hopefully).
That Major Segai has shown he is a true antagonist compared to the kaleidoscope guy. The only question I have this time was the high-security prison is located beside the isolation ward? Huh, maybe GHQ experimented both at the prisoners and patients about the Apocalypse Virus.
So GHQ knows every single face and name of the Funeral Parlor. So...what's stopping them for capturing the terrorists ?

I also have to agree that the keeping the transmitter will probably backfire. Even if he doesn't ever use it, I'm guessing Segai can still trace its location. In Shu's defense, though, he was probably only thinking of it as a trump card to use if Gai betrays him.
Still loved seeing him do the princess carry of his new superhero girlfriend out of the supermax prison he'd just crushed with his manliness. Where.. where are you taking her, Shu..?

Similarities to Code Geass:
1) Rebellion vs Oppressive and genocidal regime = check
2) Relationships = plenty of relations between characters to spark conflict, romance and fan shipping = check
3) MECHA = check
4) Absurd physics from supposedly normal characters = check
5) Unnecessary school setting = semi-check, not sure how much of the school they will show since Shu should be a known terrorist now. It would be silly for him to return to school but I wouldn't put it past the writers.
6) People complaining that the show flip flopping between being serious and absurd = oh most certainly.
7) People complaining about racism because the bad guys are primarily foreigners and there are not enough positive foreigner characters (if any) to counterbalance = SIGH

Oh and CG was clamp, when the designs are so exaggerated things like jumping 3 stories don't really phase you as much as with these more polished realistic designs (well as realistic as "anime" can get anyway ).
I'm sure some people have no issue with it but the contrast between absurdity and make believe reality irks me (and apparently others).

So your saying that a multi national para-military force, that doesn't seem to answer directly to any one government, taking over japan because of a very nasty outbreak of an absurdly bizarre disease to be a serious setting?
Theres nothing semi-accurate about this animes future. We are not getting gravity defying mecha any time soon. Nor the very weird weapons that Shu pulls out of people. We also don't know much about the governments around the world so who knows what the current state of the world is?
"things like having a humanitarian agenda or not breaking human rights too often or in plain daylight for no reason"
You do realize GHQ was ready, willing, and attempted to committed a massacre episode 2?
As for realistic guidelines, your confusing the word realistic with modern. This is how modern nations behave but that does not mean they have to in order to be realistic. Modern nations can and still do declare war over racial/tribal disputes, commit genocide, and generally act unethical if not outright inhumane. An autocratic government such as in Code Geass (plenty exist today around the world) is no less realistic than a semi-democratic big brother conspiracy.
As for clamp's CG designs, you've got me there. lol. But having correctly proportioned characters hardly makes an anime more realistic.
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...........................................
What I think is more important for an anime to seem realistic is the characters themselves. We can accept the absurd physics of anime if the characters are believeable. And thats ultimately subjective. I find Shu a believeable character because I can relate to him. Once upon a time I too was a rather insecure and indecisive kid. Though Shu does seem to be quickly growing a backbone which is exciting. It shall be fun to see how he grows through out the show.

Excellent episode, really put this anime on the map again for me. We'll have to see what Inoris deal is with her sudden superhuman abilities, but since at least I haven't forgotten the flashbacks from episode one ( establishing a clear childhood connection between Shu and Inori ), I assume there is much more going on in the background than we are aware of at the moment.
Shu is capable of being quite a badass when he finally decides to stop boo-hooing around.

I also would not be surprised if GHQ had a hand in producing the virus and releasing it. They may have even done it one purpose and the same virus that caused the epidemic may have created voids as well.

That was definitely a lot more interesting than the first two episodes. Sadly, it still retained some of their flaws, namely the stupid moments like Gai - a very infamous terrorist - infiltrating a military compound under the worst disguise ever seen; they even highlighted how absurd it was by having Shu recognize him at a glance... why couldn't the soldiers do the same? I'd put Inori evading mechs and breaking into the facility on foot - and let's not forget jumping 50 meters high - in the same bag, but as others as said, there is most likely an explanation for that. Genetic engineering? Anti-Gravity device? Screw that, I say she's Master Asia's disciple. See that long white band she carries with her? She's going to use to it destroy mechs.
The new villain is certainly better than the previous ones, but I feel he's getting too much credit. He has a brain and is more manipulative yes, but he's still as evil as they come. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see him crush kitties under his boots. Hopefully, I'm wrong about that.
The action scenes were ridiculously awesome once again, and the BGMs as fantastic as ever. They've yet to disappoint me on that front.
I understand that Shu doesn't know who to trust now, but he still shouldn't have kept that pen. Actually, it's precisely for that reason that he should have kept it. It's kinda obvious to me the pen is tracking him at all times. It's surely going to come back to bite him in the ass, and thus put the Undertakers (whom he doesn't really care about) and Inori (whom he very much cares about) in danger.
My hope for the next few episodes is to see Inori's personality (who is about as deep as that of a random Rei clone) developed and Shu man up a little bit. I hope they'll never set foot at school again as well. For one, because school hijinks and terrorism don't mix well, and more importantly because Shu shouldn't even be able to go back now that his connection to the Undertakers is obvious. Incidentally, Inori shouldn't have been to transfer in the first place, but whatever...

The setting in Guilty Crown is not significantly different, in overall atmosphere and feel, than the setting in Marvel or DC comics.
In both cases, you're given a slightly futuristic Earth, but one with striking similarities to the real world, in order to accomplish greater viewer immersion.
In both cases, you have people with metahuman abilities and powers that defy the laws of physics, if not common sense (i.e. getting incredible powers from gamma radiation, or by being bit by a radioactive spider, or by going from living under a red sun to living under a yellow sun).
In both cases, cannon fodder antagonist armies are usually not that smart, flawlessly obedient 99% or more of the time, and are primarily there to get blown up and provide nice action scenes.
In both cases, governments and government agencies tend to be portrayed negatively, with a focus on corrupt officials, politicians, and soldiers.
In both cases, you have hammy antagonists. Major Segai may or may not be "as evil as they come", but The Joker certainly is, and he's also widely regarded as one of the very best antagonists/villains of all-time.
Guilty Crown has some anime tropes to it, of course, but it has the sensibilities of a DC or Marvel comic book, simply without the spandex costumes (although, even here, Inori's attire is no less colorful/atypical than Superman's). As such, it's about as serious as a comic book story is.
Which is to say that it's more serious than, say, Excel Saga. But it's not as serious as, say, Serial Experiments Lain.
It should be noted, though, that there are millions upon millions of people who take comic books very seriously. People who have no problem with stories much like the one in Guilty Crown. People who can let Superman's disguise slide, and people who can live with Batman pulling off things that only a metahuman should be able to.
Because at the end of the day, the laws of physics in fiction is not that big of a deal unless your show or story is mainly for people really into science and technology (like Star Trek). Guilty Crown is, like comic books, aimed at a slightly different audience than that. It's aimed at people who just want to enjoy some great action scenes with a passable and easy to follow plot that paints in bold emotional strokes but isn't meant to be high-end intellectually.
Guilty Crown is not pretending to be anything that it's not, and it has no identity issues. It's been showcasing the sensibilities of an action-packed Hollywood blockbuster (including modern superhero movies) from the very first episode, and with the exception of a semi-comedic Episode 3, its remained consistent with those sensibilities. This identity that Guilty Crown has chosen for itself is also not in any way, shape, or form, out of line with what its PVs portrayed.
I think the issue here is that some people have a preconceived notion that semi-realistic setting means that nothing unrealistic and/or very implausible should happen. But that preconceived notion is regularly contradicted by some of the most well-known and popular fictional stories around.
If you (and I'm using "you" in a general sense here) can't get pass this preconceived notion, then I respect that, but just know that it's your lost, not Guilty Crown's. Plenty of people (including myself) are thoroughly enjoying Guilty Crown just the way it is.
Not every show I watch needs to have picture perfect realism. In fact, I would find that rather boring after awhile. The best action shows I've watched only achieved that by being willing to throw realism out the door every now and then.

That "american comic book" analysis is really solid, Triple_R. I like it, GC really feels more like Spiderman or the X-Men than a typical anime.
I dunno: based on all the furor I expected to hate this but I'm finding it pretty fun. It has a surprising amount of originality but most of what's original is subtle, and most of what's not-subtle is kinda generic, trope-heavy, and still seems slightly off. Still lots of time to improve.
I tend to agree that the main mistake is that Inori's just too flat: they should've made her livelier or quirkier, or should've left her as-is but hinted at her backstory a bit more by now.
I feel like I know what they're going for with her -- her "real" personality will turn out to be some kind of mindless, cold-blooded killing machine, with the normal personality some kind of trained performance. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Gai's group treat her more like one of the combat robots than part of the team.
I like Shu: he's got that typical wimpy "starter" personality, but he's smart and independent, so the comparisons to Renton and Shinji seem out of place.

This is part of the reason why I raised the American comic book analogy. You can get serious stories with serious themes and topics in Spiderman and X-Men comics, but you're not going to get complete fidelity to the laws of physics.
You're also going to get a higher-than-usual degree of ham, of course.
What can be helpful in a story like Guilty Crown's is using engrossing character moments to distract from things like defying the laws of physics; the literary equivalent of sleight of hand, if you will.
I get the sense that Guilty Crown is holding back too many of its best cards, when playing them out at a steadier pace would have helped to counter or negate some of the harsher criticisms its received.

From Wikipedia: "...The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was established by the UN Security Council at the end of December 2001 to secure Kabul and the surrounding areas. NATO assumed control of ISAF in 2003. ISAF includes troops from 42 countries, with NATO members providing the core of the force."
Of course, in the real world the US controls the whole thing. It has always had basic control of the UN, through the security council, and NATO is an association of allies/subordinates of the US. Once the UN established the force, NATO and the US took over control and did what they thought best, expanding the mandate to (attempted) control of the whole country, all under the name of ISAF.

Scene 1
Storyteller: Once upon a time there lived Prince Prospero. He was a brave
and wise prince. He lived happily with his people in his beautiful country
for many years. But then a terrible thing happened. For a long time the
Red Death was everywhere in his land. There had never been such a serious
illness that went from person to person very quickly, killing nearly everyone.
There never was a plague that killed so many, and there never was a death
as terrible.
Red Death: First, you feel burning pains in your stomach. Then everything
begins to turn round and round inside your head. Then blood begins to
come out through your skin – yes, you begin to bleed all over your body
– but most of all through your face. And of course when people see you
they leave you immediately. Nobody wants to help you. Your terrible face
tells everyone that it is too late. ...Too late!
Scene 2
1st Lady: Oh, my Prince! What a terrible disaster! The Red Death came
to our country!
1st Man: Yes, my lord! It's true! We saw so many people dead in the streets
of our town! They are all red with blood!
Prince: Isn't it possible to help them?
2nd Man: No, The Red Death is a very short illness – only about half an
hour, from its beginning to its end!
2nd Lady: My Prince! What are we to do? Who can help us? Half of the people
in our land are dead!
Prince: We must go away from this city! We are going to my castle, in
the middle of the forest! We'll be safe there! And when the Red Death
ends we'll be able to come back to my palace. Be ready to go in an hour!
Storyteller: And Prince Prospero chose a thousand healthy and happy friends
and took them away from the city. Over the hills they went, far away to
the Prince's favourite house. It was large and beautiful, with a high,
strong wall all around the house. The wall had only one door: a very strong
metal one.
Prince: Here we are at last! Now, my friends, let's close the door. I'll
lock it and throw the key over the wall into the lake outside.
1st Man: Right you are! Now nobody will be able to come in or out of the
1st Lady: And we'll be safe here inside!
Prince: There is plenty of food in the house, enough for more than a year.
We don't have to worry about the Red Death outside any more.
2nd Man: Let the outside world worry about itself!
2nd Lady: How happy we are to have such a clever prince!
Scene 3
Storyteller: So everyone soon forgot the terrible plague. They were safe
inside the Prince's beautiful house and they had everything they needed
to have a good time. There were dancers, there were musicians, and there
was beauty. All this was inside, The Red Death was outside.
3rd Lady: Hello, my friend! Have you heard about the party?
4th Lady: The party? What party do you mean?
3rd Lady: Prince Prospero is going to give a special party for his friends.
4th Lady: Will it be a masked party?
3rd Lady: Yes, and a most unusual one!
1st Man: This party will take place in the newest part of this house,
in the rooms which he almost never uses!
2nd Man: As far as I know they are very unusual, those seven rooms, aren't
1st Man: Of course, that's why the Prince has chosen them for the party.
You know he is an unusual and strange person and he often has very unusual
4th Lady: Oh, I saw those beautiful rooms! The Prince decorated them himself
in his own unique way.
3rd Lady: I'm looking forward to that wonderful party!
Scene 4
Storyteller: The day of the party came. The rooms were really unusual.
The first room was blue, in the second room everything was purple, in
the third everything was green. So, every room had its special colour.
In the seventh room everything was black – everything but the windows.
They were deep, rich, red colour, the colour of blood. And the light filled
the rooms with bright, rich and strangely beautiful colour. That light
was horrible. It gave a terrible, wild look to the faces of people who
1st Lady: Oh, what a wonderful party we are having today!
2nd Lady: Yes, really! We can say that our Prince has a truly fine eye
for colour? I enjoy these strange decorations!
1st Lady: Some people think our Prince is mad but he isn't. Look! What
excellent dresses he chose!
Storyteller: Yes, many dresses looked more than just strange. There was
a bit of everything at the party: the beautiful, the ugly, and a lot of
the horrible. They looked like a madman's dreams, those strange masked
people, dancing to wild music.
People are dancing to music
Storyteller: They went up and down, changing colour as they danced from
room to room until the minute hand on the clock that stood against the
far wall of the black room came up to the hour and then, when they heard
the first sound of the clock, everything stopped.
The sound of the clock
Storyteller: The musicians stopped playing to listen to the clock. The
dancers stopped dancing. The whole party stopped. Everybody listened to
the sound.
1st Man: Some people's faces became white...
2nd Man: Other people's heads began to go round and round...
1st Lady: Others put their hands to their heads, surprised by sudden strange,
dream-like thoughts...
2nd Lady: Why did I stop dancing? I can't understand!
1st Lady: Neither can I! I think next time we hear the sound of that strange
clock we shan't stop dancing any more!
2nd Lady: Certainly! Next hour we shan't be so stupid.
Scene 5
The dancing goes on
Storyteller: It was midnight. Again the clock made the same strange,
deep and so sweetly musical sound! Midnight! It seemed like there was
no end to the sounds this time each sound seemed to go on forever. But
now people became paler and their thoughts were even stranger than before.
And some of them saw a tall masked man walking slowly and silently among
them. People looked at him with anger and horror. Horror at choosing that
mask! It was not funny! His mask was the face of a dead man. He was wearing
black clothes. And he had a death mask, but it was the colour that made
everyone shake with horror. The mask was red. It was the mask of the Red
Prince Prospero saw the stranger and became mad with anger. He waved his
hand and the music stopped immediately.
Prince: Who? Who has done this horrible thing? Catch that man! Take off
his mask! We will cut off his head in the morning!
1st Man: My lord! We can't do that! It's the Red Death!
2nd Man: We are afraid of him! How did he get here?
3rd Lady: Oh, dear! Who can save us?
4th Lady: I'm afraid, something strange is going to take place!
Everybody stepped back against the walls of the room
Prince: Then I'll stop him! I'm not afraid of anyone!
Prince, pulling out his knife, ran after the man with the red mask on
Storyteller: The masked man turned suddenly, and gave a terrible, cutting
cry. The prince's knife fell without a sound on the black floor and Prince
Prospero fell without a sound next to it. Dead.
Red Death: Suddenly the dancers were no longer afraid. A crowd of them
ran up to me. But they couldn't catch me! Because nobody can catch the
Red Death!
The light goes out. People see the black clothes and the mask on the
Storyteller: Everyone cried out in horror! There was nobody there. The
man's body was nothing but air! Now everybody understood that the Red
Death was now among them. He came like a thief in the night! And the people
began to die the terrible death. Soon the last person died. And the last
lamp went out. And even the clock stopped. Everything was silence and

What is the Shared Decision Making Payment Model?
In December 2016, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) announced a new payment model test as part of its Beneficiary Engagement Incentives program that aims to integrate shared decision making (SDM) into the routine clinical practices of ACOs.
SDM enables patients to get more informed and engaged in their care – especially as it relates to important treatment decisions – and helps them collaborate with their providers to make choices that fit their clinical situation, goals and preferences best. Better treatment decisions result in greater satisfaction with and adherence to care, The SDM Model aims to help Medicare ACOs provide these benefits for more of their patients, while improving their population's outcomes and their position for shared savings.
How does the SDM model work?
Participants in the SDM model will receive $50 per SDM service encounter for all Medicare beneficiaries with any of six conditions:
Stable ischemic heart disease
Hip osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis
Back pain (stenosis and/or herniated disc)
Localized prostate cancer
Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH)
It's important to remember that CMS will issue a payment of $50 for all SDM service encounters with Medicare beneficiaries – not just those in the ACO population. Only the cost of the encounters for the ACO population will be included in the ACO's cost of care for the year.
What does the SDM model involve for ACOs and affiliated providers?
The SDM Model requires participating ACOs to use a structured process that entails the following steps:
- identifying eligible beneficiaries that have one of the conditions listed above
- Distributing evidence-based decision aids that match the relevant condition
- Furnish the SDM service (includes discussion with provider, decision and documentation thereof)
- Tracking and reporting
WiserCare supports each step in the SDM model process. We provide a platform solution for SDM that addresses all of the six preference-sensitive conditions required by the SDM Model, meets the evidence-based decision aid criteria set forth by CMMI, and can be easily delivered to patients via email or patient portal. The output of WiserCare's patient decision support experience is shared with the appropriate care team and used in the appointment to reach a decision. We also provide any patient or provider surveys and reporting that may be required.
Who can participate?
The payment model test is open to all Medicare ACOs, both Next Generation ACOs and MSSPs. The only excluded practices include those participating in CPC+, Oncology Care, and Million Heart Cardiovascular Disease Reduction Models
How can we participate?
Interested ACOs must file non-binding letters of intent and applications by March 5, 2017. The application is relatively short. From the group of applicants, CMMI will select up to 50 to participate in the model.
What are the key dates to know?
- Letters of intent and the subsequent application are due by March 5, 2017.
- Those ACOs selected for participation will be notified on June 14, 2017.
- Pre-implementation activities will begin on July 1, 2017
- The SDM model will begin on January 1, 2018
- The initial award is for a two-year period, with up to three one-year renewals thereafter.

Lindsay Lohan Legal Fees $1.45 Million
February 9, 2012 by staff
Lindsay Lohan Legal Fees $1.45 Million, Lindsay Lohan Racked Up $1.45 Million (1.1 Million) in Legal Fees, Being Lindsay Lohan isn't easy and it's certainly not cheap. According to a new report, since 2007, when she started on a downwards spiral, the actress has racked up no less than $1.45 million (1.1 million) in legal fees only.
Fans know that, these days, Lindsay is more famous for what she does in her personal life than for her work, i.e. for her movies.
Since 2007, she's been going in and out of rehab, in and out of courtroom, in and out of jail, and constantly in the headlines.
BooyahFacts is now saying that the entire madness around Lindsay Lohan cost her a pretty penny: a lot of them, to be more exact.
From rehab expenses to fines, court payments and legal counsel, Lindsay has spent an estimated $1.45 million (1.1 million) on getting herself out of trouble.
That is to say, the money she reportedly made by posing for the latest issue of Pl**yboy ($1 million 719,476) wasn't enough to cover her impressive legal bill.

Love 'one of life's bare necessities'Posted on: June 12, 2013 16:06:53
Despite voicing differing opinions about a range of issues - whether romantic or not - both men and women would argue that love is among life's bare necessities.
This is according to the findings of a new study carried out to mark the upcoming Blu-ray release of Disney's The Jungle Book, which revealed telling a boyfriend or girlfriend how you feel is one of the most important things to do on a daily basis.
Researchers, who questioned 2,000 adults, found that physical affection is even more important than love for the majority of people - with a cuddle ranked third on the list of life's bare necessities.
Rather unromantically, internet connection and television were voted the two main needs for people in the modern age, while a daily shower and a cup of tea were also noted.
A trustworthy best friend with whom you can enjoy a gossip and a private chat was ranked fourth on the list, but it seems both men and women value technology more than other traditional aspects of life.
For women, chocolate, a close pal, a cuppa and the central heating were the most valuable essentials in life, but football, fry-ups, sausages and beer were top of the list for simple-minded blokes.
However, it seems many people realise that gadgets and gizmos can be replaced if they break, unlike some relationships - with the majority of respondents admitting they value their handheld devices a little too much.
Those people who are in a relationship are advised to spend some quality time with their partner without any distractions from their smartphones or tablets, as too much time on social media has previously been found to cause friction in romances.
A study carried out by US scientists revealed that people who browse Facebook excessively are at risk of experiencing conflict with their other half as a result of spending too much time on the website.

Cute old-school diner look, and they have a karaoke machine!
Hope and Anchor is slightly more hip with slightly higher end food than your average diner. Not everything I've eaten here is something to write home about, but the burgers and fries are solid and their menu is extensive, with anything I could possibly be in the mood to eat when I need something greasy on a Sunday morning. When I lived in the neighborhood, it was my go to brunch spot for catching up with friends over a large amount of food. I know they have karaoke some evenings as well which I think is genius but unfortunately, I've never been. The only thing I would really change about this place is the hours - too many times I've needed a breakfast burger and have been unable to get one!

Pediatric Endocrinology
Endocrinologists treat disorders related to our glands and the hormones they produce. Because hormones play a key role in the growth and development of children, these conditions often pose different threats to children than they do adults. That's where a pediatric endocrinologist comes in.
They can diagnose and treat hormonal disorders such as abnormal thyroid function, growth complications and early or delayed puberty. Ambiguous genitals as well as ovarian and testicular dysfunction are also part of their expertise. Childhood obesity, diabetes and problems with low blood sugar also tie back to hormone function and may require consulting with a pediatric endocrinologist.

As of recently, when I click the SAVE button on the new ticket window, the ticket is created, but the new ticket window does not close. This leaves me to wonder if the ticket has really been created. Clicking the save again creates another identical ticket.
I am using Firefox 3.0.1, running SW Version 3.1.2517.
Any ideas?
This topic was created during version 3.1.

I've had a similar problem, sometimes it closes and sometimes it doesn't, the status bar on Firefox has completed loading the page.
But I tend to just hit save, wait, if it doesn't disappear (the ticket window) click cancel and my ticket is there, saved. I had the multiple ticket creation as well... didn't go down too well.

I am having the same problem. It is a bug and it is annoying.
Oct 15, 2008 at 3:07 UTC
Same thing here. Using Spiceworks 3.1.26822 I'm able to create tickets without any problem in IE6 and IE7 but when I create a ticket using Firefox 3.0.3 this happens. The save appears to happen, and the user gets notified, but the save window stays in place. Clicking on the save button again creates yet another ticket and sends out another email.
For now I've been navigating away from the Help Desk and back again after creating a new ticket.

Having the same issue but only when I put a resource in the related to field. If I leave that field blank the ticket always closes with no issues.

Park Sookeun (1916-1964)
Two seated women, 1964
Signed in hangul, Sookeun, inscribed on verso in Roman letters, Park Soo Keun 1964 and in hangul, Park Sookeun
Oil and mixed media on board, framed
7 1/8 x 9½in. (18.2 x 24.1cm.)
Paper label affixed to verso of Bando Art Gallery, Bando Hotel, Seoul, Korea
New York +1 212 636 2000
London +44 (0)20 7839 9060
Hong Kong +852 2760 1766
Shanghai +86 21 6355 1766
The two seated women wear traditional Korean clothing (hanbok).
Sookeun's body of work is thought to be quite small, perhaps no more than 400 paintings. His career was cut short by his premature death from cirrhosis of the liver at the age of fifty-one in 1965. During the past seventeen years, since Christie's, New York, began selling his work, he has become the most sought-after modern Korean master.
Park Sookeun paintings are unique. Modest in scale, somber and roughly textured, they are at first glance unassuming and unpretentious. But it is is these very qualities, combined with the abstract, simplified rendering of his idyllic subject matter--scenes of everyday life--that give his works their power and poetry.
Sookeun's work was widely appreciated by Americans stationed in Seoul during the 1960s. Now it is prized by Korean collectors and museums as well. The Bando Gallery at the Choson Hotel began exhibiting his paintings in 1965, selling them for nominal sums to clients who were predominantly Americans.
Twenty paintings by Park Sookeun have been sold at Christie's, New York: Farmers, 27 April, 1993, lot 45; Dancers, 17 November, 1993, lot 121; Woman beneath a tree, 27 April, 1994, lot 101; Country villages, 25 October, 1994, lot 78; Three women and child, 26 April, 1995, lot 77; Farm houses, 26 March, 1996, lot 67; Men smoking, 31 October, 1996, lot 110; Jobless, 23 March, 1999, lot 311 and 18 September, 2001, lot 333; Mother and child, 15 September, 1999, 384; Four women and child, 23 March, 2000, lot 379; Mother and child walking under trees, 19 September, 2000, lot 410; Winter, 22 March, 2002, lot 223; Woman pounding grain, 18 September, 2002, lot 432; Han il (Leisure time), 24 March, 2003, lot 326; Three women seated in the marketplace, 16 September, 2003, lot 430; Seated woman and jar, 23 March, 2004, lot 357; Mother, child and two women; Coming home from market, 18 March, 2008, lots 46 and 469; Figures in a landscape, 18 September, 2008, lot 401, and Three women, 17 September, 2009, lot 1158.

FRANK Water in Madhya Pradesh
What's the Challenge?
In Madhya Pradesh, too much fluoride in drinking water causes yellowing of teeth and the crippling disease, fluorosis. Fluorosis has no known cure. The water is also contaminated by fecal matter which leads to gastrointestinal problems.
FRANK Water's work is focused on the Dhar district, where concentration of fluoride in the water is significantly higher than the recommended norm. We're working with three villages (3000 people) over three years. The population in this area is mostly Scheduled Tribe, living below the poverty line.
What's FRANK Water Doing About it?
Our aim is to reduce waterborne disease, particularly fluorosis, by providing these villages with safe, sustainable sources of drinking water.
To do this, we're working with PSI (People's Science Institute), to build their own resources and knowledge. Together, we'll train communities to develop their own low-impact, environmentally sustainable solutions. We'll carry out research to track the impact of our projects on the incidence of fluorosis.
Where we're up to
- Over the last year we've successfully worked with three villages, Bankpura, Banjari and Chhoti Chetri. More than 2,400 people now have safe water.
- We held education workshops with over 1,000 people – young and old – on the importance of hygienic behaviour, particularly around food preparation, eating and using the loo.
- All three villages have formed a Water User Group (WUGs), responsible for ongoing operations repairs and maintenance, collecting monthly subscriptions and holding community meetings. WUGs operate independently of FRANK Water – they are self-sufficient and sustainable.
- In November 2015, we organised a workshop on "Fluorosis mitigation through participatory groundwater management" in Bhopal in November 2015.
- Right now, we're working on a study of how improving availability of clean water and changing hygiene behaviours impacts health.

A weekly examination of the Chargers' ESPN.com Power Ranking:
Preseason: 23 | Last Week: 16 | ESPN.com Power Ranking since 2002
After moving up 10 spots in Week 3, San Diego predictably dropped a few spots to No. 19 this week after a loss to Tennessee.
Even though San Diego sits at 1-2, one thing working in the team's favor is all three games it has played have been competitive, including two on the road. San Diego's two losses have been by a combined six points.
And the Chargers have a nice four-game stretch before the team's bye week on Oct. 27, with home games against Dallas (Sunday) and Indianapolis (Oct. 14), along with winnable games on the road at Oakland (Oct. 6) and Jacksonville (Oct. 20).

Johnny Mize played for the New York Yankees from 1949 through 1953 when they won five straight World Championships. Johnny Mize was a part-time first baseman and pinch hitter who played a pivotal role on the championship teams. He had a Hall of Fame career with the St. Louis Cardinals, hit 51 home runs for the 1947 New York Giants to tie Ralph Kiner for the home run championship, and in 1948, Mize and Kiner again tied for the home run crown, with each hitting forty. Mize had a .312 lifetime batting average and his .562 slugging average is higher than that of Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays.
Fifty Home Runs With Fewer Than Fifty Strikeouts
Hitting fifty one home runs in 1947 was remarkable, but what is astonishing is that Mize struck out only forty two times, making him the only player to ever hit as many as fifty home runs and strike out fewer than fifty times in a season. Mize was a big left handed hitter who made contact and is an excellent illustration of the fact that a power hitter does not have to be free swinger.
Johnny Mize Joins the Yankees
When reporters informed freshman Yankees' manager Casey Stengel that Mize was now one his players, the Yankees' manager was forthright with "his writers" (In those days, we didn't have "media". There were writers who followed a team). Stengel was surprised at the deal and said that he didn't know how he would use Mize. "Had a worthwhile pitcher been available, I certainly would have grabbed him. But there wasn't any, so with the chance at hand to add possibly a little extra punch, we took Mize."
Mize's best World Series was in 1952 against Brooklyn, when he batted .400 with three home runs. The Yankees won in seven games and the following season again beat Brooklyn as Mize appeared in only three games as an unsuccessful pinch hitter each time. On October 7, 1953, Mize announced his retirement at the age of forty. Mize had a sense of humor and told reporters that all doubt about retiring was removed when at the Yankees' World Series victory dinner, Dan Topping, upon meeting Mize's mother, needled John that his mother looked younger than he did.
In his career Johnny Mize hit three hundred and fifty nine home runs, a total topped at the time by only Babe Ruth, Mel Ott, Jimmy Foxx, and Lou Gehrig. How things have changed. But Mize has always said that his proudest achievement was hitting three home runs in one game six times.
Hall of Famer
Johnny Mize was an outstanding player who was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981. His Hall of Fame plaque reveals a truth that, like Mize, is often overlooked when it comes to analyzing the attributes that make great hitters. The first three words on the plaque are "Keen eyed slugger". Sports writer Tom Meany said it best when he wrote "Taking a pitch, Mize actually followed the ball with his eyes right into the catcher's mitt, and he maintained he could see the bat hit the ball." So did Ted Williams. Pretty good company.

Butler looking to challenge itself with move to Atlantic 10
It's about more than basketball.
That was the message delivered Wednesday by Butler University leaders who announced that its athletic teams are moving from the Horizon League to the Atlantic 10.
The Bulldogs would not participate in the Atlantic 10 until the 2013-14 school year. Temple will be in the Atlantic 10 in 2012-13 before joining the Big East.
Impetus for Butler's move is the men's basketball program, whose profile reached an all-time high with runs to the 2010 and 2011 NCAA championship games.
"This was an opportunity to push ourselves a bit, to challenge ourselves," said James Danko, the first-year president at Butler.
Danko said moving to the Atlantic 10 allows the university and its students to gain more exposure in major Eastern cities such as Philadelphia and New York.
"That, to me, was definitely a positive part of this," he said.
Athletic director Barry Collier said Danko was favorable toward the move from the beginning. Both said the process allowed them to work more closely than before.
"There's been tremendous support all the way up and down through this," Collier said.
Although the move had been speculated for nearly two months, not until this morning did Butler inform the Horizon League of its decision.
Basketball coach Brad Stevens spoke favorably about the change, noting the regularity of teams from the Atlantic 10 to make the NCAA tournament field. Since 1998, no Horizon team other than Butler has earned an at-large bid. In that same period, 24 from the Atlantic 10 have done so.
"It's something that's very good in a lot of ways," Stevens said. "I trusted our leaders to make this decision because they really, truly have a great vision for where we need to go.
"Where we need to go is aligned directly with where the school needs to go. I think that's the cool part of working here."
Stevens said he wants the Bulldogs to continue playing an ambitious non-conference schedule and that they would attempt to play annually in Chicago, where Butler has many alumni and fans.
He said he wasn't sure how recruiting would be affected but that prospects in the East might now be more interested in Butler. He rejected suggestions that Butler lacks sufficient talent to compete successfully in the Atlantic 10.
"First of all, I believe in our guys. I don't care what anyone else says," Stevens said. "The second things is, the Horizon League - perception doesn't always equal reality. I've said that the whole time I've been here.
"There have been very good players. There have been very good teams. There will continue to be. The league will be as strong as it's ever been next year. That's where we are until July 2013."
Jon LeCrone, commissioner of the Horizon said in a statement:
"We are proud of the role the Horizon League played in providing a platform for Butler to significantly improve its athletics programs and achieve the highest level of national competitiveness in men's basketball."
Stevens said he met briefly with Butler players before today's news conference to tell them of the new affiliation.
"My first reaction was I want to finish out the Horizon League in the right way," freshman forward Kameron Woods said. "Other than that, I'm really excited."
An Indianapolis Star study published Sunday indicated the move could cost Butler about $500,000 a year in increased travel for all sports.
In basketball, if not in geography, Butler is already closer to the A-10 than to Horizon members. No Horizon team other than Butler has received an NCAA at-large bid since 1998. By contrast, the A-10 had three at-large bids this year and 24 since 1998.
The Bulldogs' most recent basketball budget of $3.5 million was 35 percent more than that of the Horizon's second-highest, Milwaukee. Butler would rank fourth in the Atlantic 10, led by Richmond's $4 million.
Butler strengthens the Atlantic 10's western edge, which also includes Xavier, Dayton and St. Louis.
