Watching the sleazy 1967 Harry Alan Towers-AIP Eurocrime-adventure, THE HOUSE OF 1000 DOLLS, starring Vincent Price going Eurotrash as Felix Manderville, a magician who fronts for an international white slavery operation. His wife, played by Martha Hyer, helps him arrange for ad hoc abductions during his stage performances. George Nader investigates and Maria Rohm (VENUS IN FURS) is featured as a victim, along with Kitty Swan.
This was meant to be a star-studded international thriller but it looks like executive producer Louis M. Heyward had to do it on the cheap. Maybe they spent all their budget on Price. They should have gotten Jess Franco to direct, instead of the dull, conventional Jeremy Summers. Nonetheless, it's still fun and I have retained my old HBO VIDEO prerecord for decades. Look out for Franco regulars Herbert Fux (JACK THE RIPPER) and Yelena Samarina (LA FILLE DE DRACULA) in supporting roles.
Watch for Vincent Price's reactions during the mud-wrestling sequence. What could have been going through his mind while appearing in this thing? I hope he used his salary to acquire some good paintings.
Where was Jess Franco when he was really needed?! He would have been perfect for this.

Wedding Ceremony and Reception?
Just wondering how you guys shoot the Ceremony and Reception? In you Wedding DVD do you include the whole ceremony? Do you record the live sound at the Reception, or do you use music then just cut in and out to people talking? The weddings I have been doing are average low budget weddings. What are some tips that you guys have? I am currently using two Sony HD cameras and have two tripods and use Sony Vegas to edit. Any equipment suggestions or tips? I have been getting tips and things from Youtube and some here to! Trying to learn all I can. Its my dream to be able to produce some videos like I have seen on here! :) Thanks

99% of what I shoot is both events. Occassionaly I get the ceremony only job or the reception only but thats generally when it was a destination wedding and they throw a party here for the family and friends that weren't at the destination.
I've more or less stopped doing my short form or party edit and for the most part do doco style. For the reception I use native audio, I don't believe in dropping in a music track. If you search around here you'll find many different ways that people pickup their audio. Try them and see which works best for you.
I would advise that you get some sort of lighting to use at the reception either something off camera or oncamera. Most receptions are dark and while cameras today are pretty good in low light the lighting can make all the difference.
What do I know? I'm just a video-O-grafer.

I'll start with this tip...
Sooo many elements contribute to a professionally shot video but to me there is one glarringly obvious indication that a video is NOT pro. This is it: If I can watch more than 5 mins of it and never see a close up. I'll go one step further, unless there is some over-riding artistic intent, a wedding video with few closeups is not professional. IMHO
Hence, my advice ...practice manually focusing close ups and super close-ups. Look for opportunities to get these shots on the wedding day. If you want to be better than uncle Bob with handy cam, I think the first step is to nail the close ups.

Since no one have given tip on the wedding DVD style yet.. let me just share what I did..
I always have two separate videos of Ceremony and Reception. In both I usually start with a song as an opening sequence (showing the decor, preparation, bride/groom getting ready & walking in etc). Then the documentary style video follows.. I dont usually put background music here and I shorten the part where I think the B&G wouldn't wanna watch (a long bible reading/singing for example).
At the end, I add a closing music again as an outro/finale.. showing highlights of the final moment (bridal waltz, mingling with guests, dancing, bouquet throw, etc).

"Usually" is that I shoot the entire ceremony running a 4 to 7 multi-cam shoot and the reception is "entire" sequences of specific event with up to three (and sometimes four) cameras running for particular parts or sequences. For things like formal speeches or toasts, bouquet tosses, etc., they get the whole thing. For things like reception lines, they get a=short excerpts. For first dances, I leave it up to the couple.
Exceptions for the ceremony: I do highlights when the couple asks for only specific highlights (say when there is a Roman Catholic high mass (which can run two hours in this area.)
As Don says, you sometimes get asked to video only a ceremony or parts of a reception. I work out of mountain resort town near Yellowstone. We have a wdding chapel in town. Those folks are mostly doing very small and intimate ceremonies and only want me to video the ceremony. I pretty much do what the customers want.

Tyson, we record the entire thing and, in our pre-wedding sapecification document get the clients to indicate which parts they want in and which out. Hymns (after the intro) and sometimes the homily are usually out, ceremony and speeches invariably in.
However, requirements, styles and fashions vary from market to market but here in the UK we've noticed recently an increasing disdain by potential clients to having the mingling/socialising sequences of the video covered entirely with music, albeit the client's choice of music.
We always mix the sync sounds underneath so that although the visual material we're using means that there's not a single coherent conversation to follow, the audience can still hear the voices and the laughter in the mix.
Sound, as always I regret, is still generally the poor relation in video, and the trend to DLSRs for their unquestioned improvements in the visual quality haven't helped it.
Ironically, a few years ago the photographer who now works with us producing our composite photo/video product considered adding a live sound recording of the ceremony and the speeches to his stills output. In the end it didn't take off because of the market's reluctance then to accept his stills in DVD format ie on a screen.
I wonder if the enthusiasm for tablets and e-Books will eventually lead to an electronic photo album with sound?

Hi Tyson
We also do both 99% of the time..I guess I have done just one or two "ceremony only" shoots this season. The only time I will add background music (still retaining the ambience) is preparation and the cars arriving. The only clip with music only is my video photoshoot on stedicam. The entire reception is live! A lot of brides have said they chose me because my videos "have the talking" ...we also make a point of doing live guest interviews during pre-dinner drinks and the brides love 'em!!!
Don't worry about getting too technical...too many of us shoot what we THINK the bride wants ...creative video backed to the latest music track...more often than not we should actually find out exactly want she wants and expects rather than our own interpretation of what her video should be like. Capture the emotion and the mood at a wedding and you will find that the results will be well accepted.

Interesting that you believe that the increased quality of DSLR images comes at the cost of quality audio.
For this coming season our biggest outlay in new equipment will be mostly audio related.

Certainly will be in the UK when HMG sell off the UHF bands (again):
For me and others it will be new radio mics all round...

Lots of good advice. I will back Craig's comment about going for close ups at the ceremony. I'll have one or two unmanned cameras with medium and wide shots from the back normally, then I am up front (off to one side) and do all close ups - the couple, parents, bridal party, grandparents, readers, minister, as many people and emotions and reactions as I can get. These shots are usually pretty short, 10 seconds or less, variety is key. Be careful editing though - if you alternate wide/close/wide/close it becomes obvious what you are doing. Shoot close ups of 3 or 4 people one after the other, then string those together with cuts or dissolves in sequence, looks great.
I will shorten the ceremony as appropriate - a song may go on and on for several minutes, with repeating versus and refrains and all that. I'll cut a few verses out so there is a beginning and end, with some of the middle, so the viewer gets a good taste of the song without sitting through the whole thing because let's face it, there is usually NOTHING going on visually during these times. A few audio crossfades done correctly and hidden with some B-roll cutaways and no one is ever the wiser, except the ceremony moves along without getting boring. Even when the priest says "And now we will have our first reading" and it takes 30 seconds for the reader to actually walk up to the podium and start, clever editing makes that immediate, cut out the long pause.
Like others, will dub in some music for preps and scenery and cocktail hour shots, all the rest is natural sound.

Hey Philip
I'm on your side too. Just looking at the audio hardware of my new HMC82's (arrived on Friday) just the controls switches and XLR plugs would take up more space than a DSLR body and judging by the number of DSLR guys who shoot with DVR's it would reinforce the point that manufacturers still want to keep the physical size to suit the photog fraternity so I very much doubt whether we will see any DSLR's for a while where you can plug in a bunch of large XLR mics or receivers. That would defeat the design that the DSLR is a really portable unit and is still a "stills" camera foremost with the ability to shoot video. We already have video cameras that take stills (I can just manage a 10 megapixel still using a 2:3 aspect..other than that it's a meagre 2 to 3 megapixel still at best) We are the opposite to DSLR's with quality video and quality audio at the cost of quality stills. However they are good enough for a DVD cover!!

So I start the day off with another bowl of vegetable soup. I get on here for a bit and then go attempt to get buff. It was a nice day, probably in the lower 70s, so it was a nice day to lift. I get over to the place I lift at and it seems that Pimp My Ride came to fix the gym up. New carpet laid down and the equipment was put together all organized. Big props goes to "BMO" for fixing the place up like a champ. I ended up doing 30 total sets (10 sets of shoulders, 8 of chest, 6 of biceps, and 6 of triceps) and ended with a killer ab routine. Usually if I have to slack on something, it's not usually going to be abs. Lifting gear today was a pair of khaki shorts, Allen Iverson "Soldier" orange cutoff shirt, and an orange doo rag to match. Then I come home and have enough energy to wash my car. I don't mess around when doing my car, as I like it done right, so I do it myself. Got the inside all spiffed up and everything on the outside is doing good too.
I then come home after a hot bath and tear into 4 tacos loaded with taco meat of course, sour cream, lettuce, cheese, green olives, and salsa. That probably didn't deserve to be in the Blog, but that shows how much excitement goes down in E-Town. I've been downloading my CDs lately off of mIRC. It's a lot quicker this way as I can just download the entire CD at once instead of going track by track on WinMX or Kazaa. And where do you go to search? Go to www.packetnews.com or www.ircspy.com. It's a nice setup and if you need help in learning how to do this, check out this Lobstah topic at http://www.lobsterrodeo.com/balls/viewtopic.php?t=862
So what have I gotten the past few days as far as my CDs goes? For those who never get to check my SubProfile on AOL Instant Messenger, I put my entire CD list up there and it's always being updated. One of these days I might have to put it up on here. But yesterday I got an old Ice Cube CD, Death Certificate, straight from 1991. The good stuff about most gangsta rap is that you can listen to stuff from 15 years ago and it still sounds great. And another one I got was a mix. I'm not into those a much, but I figured I'd give it a try. This one is from Jadakiss, mixed by DJ F Sharp, titled Top Five Dead Or Alive: Part 1. I have some more downloading right now, but I just got done getting WWE Originals. I'm surprised I never got this one before, but it's worth it just for the Jericho song, Don't You Wish You Were Me. Me and Cork crack up at this one so much that I think we're getting to actually like it. It's the same song you see on RAW every week that Y2J has on the YJ Stinger commercial.
Did anyone watch the Memorial Tourney today? Ernie Els won, but Tiger fought back like crazy and made a SICK shot. You'll have to see it to believe it. I know he's not the god he was a few years ago, but it cracks me up how people think he's in such a slump. He still had the crowd eating out of his hand in this tourney. Watch their reaction after his shot. It's like they're partying like rock stars. Tonight is also Game 1 of the Lakers and Pistons series. I'm predicting a sweep here, but I could end up wrong and I hope I am. Like everyone else, of course I'm rooting against LA, but I don't see Detroit putting up a scare personally.
Sunday Stew! Since WildBoyz isn't on yet as I type this, I can only comment on Bam at the moment. What a show, as usual. The setting on this week's show is Arbor Day. Ape wants Bam to plant some trees. Instead, he rips a bunch of huge trees out of the ground and builds a treehouse casino. It was all pimped out and they even have a zipline from the treehouse to the ground, landing you right in front of an ATM machine. And it's totally out in the woods too. Right below the casino is a wrestling ring, where they had Leather Face and Executioner come in as guests. Dunn, Don Vito (the man), and Phil all had big parts in matches. As Raab Himself would say, "Get em Dunn!" Then at the end of the wrestling show, Bam comes down the zipline and pandemonium erupts. That's when everyone there starts rumbling. Next week they have a demolition derby. Anything involving them tearing stuff up is always great.
RAW tomorrow night! The RAW before Bad Blood and it should rock big time. HBK vs HHH, Sunday night, HELL IN A CELL! More on that later in the week.. Time to start off a good week and get closer to being a full time bum for the summer. And I'll leave you with some of Jericho's jamming..
And don't you wish you were me?
The King of all you see
Don't you wish you were me?
It ain't that easy
Don't think you'll ever be,
Everything a man should be
Cause Don't you wish you were me?
Keep dreamin', you'll never be me
Too soon, you'll be a memory
There for all to see, just illusion
And sometimes it makes me laugh when
I see your reaction
Knowing that I've become mighty

When our baby girl earned her wings and went to be with Jesus, once again there was a community of other grieving parents ready to welcome us with open arms.
Never in a million years would I have chosen to be a part of EITHER of these communities, but through them I have had the opportunity to meet some pretty incredible people who inspire me on a daily basis. One such person is a woman named Bettina that I "met" through a private group on Facebook for Mommies of Heart Angels. Sadly, Bettina lost her precious little Noah when he was just over 10 weeks old.
Last week Bettina reached out to me through this blog and asked if I would be willing to share Charlotte's story for a project that she has been working on on her blog My Life My Love My Story...a project aimed to HONORING and REMEMBERING our angels. I had already read the first two stories that she featured, and was so honored that she thought to include us as well.
Charlotte's story is featured at My Life My Love My Story today so head over and check it out. While you're there, be sure to read up on little Noah and some of the other precious angels that Bettina has featured. Our babies will not be forgotten.
"If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died -- you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift."--Elizabeth Edwards

|Originally posted on the Internet November 23, 1996.
(Updates are duly registered below)
All correct Predictions will now be shown in the color Blue.
(Access the Predictions Proofs via the buttons below)
Please reload this page each time you access it for the latest updates.
Need it be suggested, as was projected above in late November 1996, the US has experienced some of the worst weather conditions on record so far. Record snow-falls, record temperatures, extensive continent wide flooding and devastating tornadoes has caused many State Governors and the President to declare many states disaster areas.
Is it too late for Noah to build his ark? The answer is a definite, yes. Close to 50% of the US has suffered extensive flooding and the record snow-falls (e.g. North Dakota) have not even begun to melt yet. As proclaimed, spring run-offs will cause extensive flooding in the mid-US and throughout the eastern seaboard. These flood conditions will rampage throughout 1997 in the US and many lives will be lost.
The adverse weather conditions will continue right up to the early hurricane season and the combined devastation will cause havoc with the economic uncertainties which are being noticed in the US. The costs for government aid to disaster areas will far exceed any other year on record. That alone will cause the US deficit to soar.
For those who live in the North Dakota, South Dakota, and central US states, be prepared for record flooding which will begin approximately March 28. With extreme temperature fluctuations, as previously predicted, it is expected that due to abnormally high spring temperatures in those areas, streams and rivers will back up caused by ice flow dams which will not be able to melt fast enough.
Manitoba and Saskatchewan, in Canada will also feel the effects of those river back-ups. The southern portion of Manitoba particularly, will believe that Lake Winnipeg invaded the lower portions of Manitoba due to record flooding this area will experience.
As projected, extensive rain, wind and tornadoes would ravage many areas and this is now coming to pass. These tornadoes in particular began earlier than norm and will continue throughout the year. Tornado Alley will be inundated constantly, but areas which normally do not experience such turbulent weather patterns had better not laugh at their neighbors. Areas such as New York State, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and even central states such as North and South Dakota will believe the world is coming to an end. The months of April, June, July, August and even into late September would be good periods to learn to swim and fly at the same time.
In conjunction to the record number of tornadoes, high winds will ravish many areas and many people will believe that damages that will be caused were from tornadoes and that will not be a fact. It is expected that the jet stream will take an unusual twist this late spring and throughout the summer, and due to this abnormal high velocity jet stream, cooler weather from the Arctic will collide with the warm moisture from the Gulf of Mexico (hurricanes). It is expected that the majority of hurricanes in the Atlantic will be steared towards the Gulf of Mexico this year unlike last year when the majority of the devastating hurricanes traversed up the east-coast of the US. The Gulf of Mexico, in particular will experience unheard of damaging storms this year and as well as the southern portions of the US, Mexico best learn how to tread water.
So North America thinks they escaped the record floods of 1997? Well, are they in for a surprise. Coming into the middle of October (especially October 14, 1997) after all the devastation from record snow falls, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes that began January 1997, beginning on October 14, 1997 the southern US will experience their first major snow storms of the century. As projected in November 1996, Florida would experience adverse weather in the fall unlike that that it has never experienced before. This projection stands and, in fact, is being updated to include severe early winter storms never before experienced.
The concern here is that most the people in Florida do not have the heating that their northern neighbors enjoy and because of the extreme coldness many will face, and because of the aged population, it is expected that there will be many elders (and youngster alike) who will fall victim to the extreme weather fluctuations and coldness in that area and other areas in the southern US as well.
Here is the ironic part. It is believed that although Canada and the northern US states will experience unusual cold spells there will be very little moisture (snow fall) although one would expect because of the extreme flooding in the northern portions of the US and Canada that precipitation would be more likely to affect those areas. That will not be the case.
After the extensive and damaging hurricane season in 1997, most of the lower US will have all the precipitation they will want to see in their life times, but, because of the vast amount of wet weather and due to the unusual pattern of the jet stream and an over-flowing cold air current that will virtually begin in the Arctic and rush upwards over the jet stream (the jet stream will actually be a dome over most of the northern US and Canada), that cold air will mesh with the hot, humid moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to cause the above mentioned adverse conditions.
Alabama, Florida, Texas, New Orleans and as far north on the eastern seaboard as Pennsylvania may as well buy snowmobiles this year because they are going to need them.
On the east coast of Canada, Newfoundlanders, Nova Scotians and people in New Brunswick might as well resign themselves to the days in hell. Because of the unusual jet stream activity, these locations in particular will believe that one day it's summer the next will be a winter storm. In other words if anyone in Canada or the northern US is expecting the normal winter season this year, forget it.
As had been predicted in "The I.R.I.S. Chronicles for 1996" air travel in the US was not a way to travel throughout 1996. The TWA Flight 800 disaster was projected and in fact at press time we still firmly believe that a bomb was the cause of that disaster. 1997 will bring some relief to air travellers because we do believe that there will be substantially fewer air traffic accidents in 1997 than in 1996, but for those who travel the rail lines need it be suggested that caution in your travelling plans be done with a "gut reaction" this year than in any other years. With the major flooding and adverse weather conditions throughout the whole of the US in 1997, many of the rail beds will be weakened and in fact it is believed that many rail lines will be quickly destroyed by flash flooding and this in turn will cause a number of rail line disasters throughout 1997. One of our major concerns is in the northern California area where we do expect one of the worst rail line disasters on record with a substantial loss of life. The July-August period of 1997 is not the time to travel in that specific area.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat came out of a meeting early Wednesday with a deal on Israeli troop redeployment in the West Bank, but both faced intense scrutiny from within their own camps.
A sigh of relief, I'm sure, was heard around the world with the latest Hebron deal being signed between Netanyahu and Arafat. One needn't be psychic to understand that this treaty will at least hold discussions between the two opposing factions open, but, it is expected the hard-liners from both camps will do everything under their power to cause distention.
Netanyahu, who many believed was an extreme right-winger has proven himself to be more of a dove than a hawk and credit should be given where credit is due. With that in mind, however, it is expected that the back-stabbing which is readily known in Israeli politics will not only continue but increase over the next 18 month period. Netenyahue's close ties to the American political scene will hold him in good stead abroad, but back at home he's going to find a lot of opposition.
Internally the machinery is grinding to a halt but external from Israel, many of the Jewish organizations who were adamantly against a peace treaty between Netanyahu and Arafat will begin a major campaign to unseat Netenyahue.
In fact there is a cautionary note here. Coming into the middle of May, I strongly suggest that Netenyahue's personal security staff become even more diligent in their selection of staff. It is my contention that someone may slip through the security screening and if that is the case, one can expect a very major threat situation to occur.
The question which I'm sure is on everyone lips, is will the peace treaty stay in effect and will the two opposing forces rectify their differences? It would be encouraging to stipulate that "yes" this is the end to the turmoil, but I'm sorry to say it's only wishful thinking. Many of the settlers in the West Bank area will refuse to relocate and although the government of Israel will bring in the army to move them forcibly, the removal of many will be a constant thorn in the military's side and it is expected that even some of the seniors of the military will revolt and refuse to obey the orders of the government.
All in all, congratulations are in order for both Arafat and Netanyahu, but gentlemen, "it ain't over until the lady sings".

Sam Harris has a brilliant, insightful, and truthful article in the Huffington Post, about Islam today.
On a somewhat related note about the good stuff that Harris is doing, Harris is looking for participants for a few surveys. This is for atheists and Christians.
Research Volunteers Needed
by Sam Harris
We are preparing to run another fMRI study of belief and disbelief, and we need volunteers to help us refine our experimental stimuli. This promises to be the first study of religious faith at the level of the brain. By responding to the four surveys I have posted online, you can make an enormous contribution to this work.
You'll find links to these surveys on my home page.
Please answer as many of the surveys as you can. If you only have time to answer one, please choose at random (otherwise, we will have many more responses to the first than to the others).
Feel free to post this message to your blog or to forward the relevant links to your friends. I especially need Christians to respond, as one of the goals of these surveys is to design stimuli that a majority of Christians will find doctrinally sound.
I will, of course, pass along the results of this work the moment I have something to report.
Many thanks for your help.
All the best,

I won something! I periodically enter all the giveaways on some of the blogs that I follow, but I have yet to win anything from them- UNTIL NOW! There was a joke contest on Mormon in Manhattan, and the prize was two tickets to a comedy show in Salt Lake. Having it centered in Salt Lake made for a smaller pool of contestants, and I am sure that is the only reason I won.
My joke was, "What do you call a dog with no legs? It doesn't matter- it won't come to you." Silly, but it makes me laugh.
Anyway, the Saturday after our camping trip, we spent the day doing post-camping laundry- best day ever :( Then in the evening, we dropped out kidlets off at Grandma's house and headed to Trolley Square to go to the Wise Guys Comedy Club and Pound Cakes Grill to see Jenna Kim Jones perform.
She is a writer for the Daily Show With Jon Stewart and lives in New York, but she is from Utah. Wise Guys is known for only hosting clean comedy routines meaning no awfully crude jokes and bad language, which was nice because we LOVE comedy shows but tend to stay away from the live ones because of the lack of censorship. No worries here.
She was HILARIOUS! We laughed the entire time. We also had the BEST burger and fries of my LIFE from the grill. Maybe it was just because I was starving, but it was amazing and only $7.

The Scarlet Letter (1934)
"Previously filmed with Lillian Gish in 1926, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter was given a remarkably faithful treatment by low-budget Majestic Pictures in 1934. In her last film appearance, Colleen Moore stars as 17th-century Salem resident Hester Prynne, who when she delivers a child out of wedlock is forced by the prudish townspeople to wear the scarlet "A" for adultery. The father of the baby is none other than Reverend Dimmesdale (Hardie Albright), who wants to confess to his indiscretion but is prohibited from doing so by the pious Hester. Things come to a sorry pass when Hester's long-missing husband Roger Chillingworth (Henry B. Walthall, repeating his role from the 1926 version) returns to Salem and demands a few immediate answers. The film's colonial-era milieu is not always realized, due to inconsistent period costumes and phraseology; also, the direction and acting ranges from adequate to stilted. Still, this Scarlet Letter is a lot more worthwhile than Demi Moore's vanity remake of 1995."

This was Xanadu and it belonged to Coates.
Most people have never heard of Rancho Guejito, in northern
Since then, a series of wealthy men ran cattle and used Rancho Guejito (pronounced Weh-HEE-toh) as a private playground. Coates was the last. It was the jewel of a billion-dollar-plus fortune the 86-year-old aristocrat planned to pass down to generations of heirs with instructions that it never be developed.
"No American family lasts. In Europe they still do but the times are against families lasting out," Coates wrote to an acquaintance. "I do not want my life's work to be dispersed. It is organized to go on and I want it to go on."
Then, in 2004, he died. Soon, neighbors in Valley Center, a once-rural enclave tilting toward suburbia, noticed surveyors around the land. An attorney for Coates' daughter floated vague development ideas.
The mere suggestion that any part of Rancho Guejito could be paved over has mobilized environmentalists.
Bill Horn, a San Diego County supervisor and property rights advocate, is no environmentalist. But he feels betrayed. For years, he worked to keep government regulators off Coates' back. Now, Horn believes the government needs to buy Rancho Guejito.
"This place is like a little Shangri-La that everyone forgot about," he said.
Whether one of the most ecologically valuable swaths of private land in California remains that way is anything but certain.
At the center of the drama is Coates' daughter, Theodate, a 60-year-old New York artist who controls her father's empire. Some suspect the recent talk about development is part of a broader scheme to get around proposed county zoning changes and other government regulations that would undercut the ranch's value. Then it could be sold to the state for preservation at a higher price.
Hank Rupp, the attorney who represented Benjamin Coates for two decades and now speaks for Theodate, denies that that's the strategy — although he won't shut the door on the possibility.
"Let me cut through the cat-and-mouse stuff and give it to you straight," he said. "We're absolutely not interested in selling it to the state in the foreseeable future."
Rupp won't say how far into the future he can see. Nor will he elaborate on the development proposals. But he has approached Escondido city officials to explore whether the ranch can be annexed to remove it from county oversight.
If Escondido won't, maybe San Diego will, he says.
On another front is an acrimonious legal battle in which the great-grandson of legendary
Al Hill III says Coates, a longtime family friend, didn't think his daughter or son was up to the job. Hill contends that Coates all but adopted him and was finalizing a deal that would have put him in control. The only problem: He didn't get around to signing the papers.
Such public skirmishes would have angered Coates, an intensely private man accustomed to giving orders and getting what he wanted, a steely entrepreneur who relinquished his U.S. citizenship so he could move his holdings overseas and avoid taxes.
"When you went to see Mr. Coates, you listened and he talked," said rancher Willie Tellam, who ran cattle on Rancho Guejito for decades. "That's why we got along. He lived quite a life, and I heard the same stories over and over again."
Tellam, 75, is among the few locals who got to know Coates, who would visit several times a year and survey his land on horseback wearing English riding clothes.
"Like a lot of rich guys, their word was the law," Tellam said. "I think Mr. Coates thought he was going to live forever."
RANCHO Guejito was off the beaten path even by the standards of early California. It was far from the traditional travel routes of the Mission era.
This isolation has engendered a mystique common to veiled places. It's a mystique that has grown with California's population and the division or disappearance of hundreds of Spanish and Mexican land grants.
Those lucky enough to get an invitation — or bold enough to trespass — say Rancho Guejito lives up to the legend.
"It was a very emotional journey for me that first time," said Bob Lerner, a San Diego County historian who was a guest several times. "I felt like I was being transported back to when California was part of Mexico. Nothing had changed."
A request to tour the ranch for this story was denied. Seen from the air, Rancho Guejito is a startling contrast to the jumble of housing tracts and commercial strips that inch closer with each year. That one man owned this much of Southern California — a spread five times the size of Griffith Park — is nearly unimaginable.
The 8,000-square-foot hacienda-style home Coates built is on a ridge at the ranch's southern end. Its U-shaped courtyard and swimming pool overlook the property — a dozen miles long, 3 across.
A broad mesa stretches north flanked by two pine-studded valleys that converge in a vast meadow fed by Guejito Creek and its numerous tributaries. Cows munch grass that is 2 feet high in places. Everywhere are stands of Engelmann oaks. Over the lush hills are more mesas, valleys and creeks. A maze of rugged mountains anchors the ranch's northern end.
The property's catalog of riches include Indian archeological sites, bobcats, coyotes, wild turkeys, mountain
In the early 1970s, the state nearly bought it all for use as a park. Coates, who already owned a Hemet ranch that once belonged to
Over the years, he fought attempts to take parts of it for a reservoir and an airport but rejected offers to sell it for preservation.
Land was in Coates' blood. In the 1680s, his Quaker ancestors were among the settlers of Pennsylvania, established under the King of England's royal charter.
Coates prospered in a variety of businesses — shipping, oil wildcatting and furniture among them. But land is what stirred his passion.
He sold a thoroughbred that won a major French race to buy a 23,000-acre spread in Scotland. Wanting to watch the America's Cup yacht race off Newport, R.I., Coates is said to have bought a seaside estate — then sold it after the race. When he couldn't find a suitable penthouse in Manhattan, he financed an apartment building on the
Coates, solidly built with a broad forehead and square jaw, was a man of the world. He was a decorated Navy pilot who hunted Nazi submarines in the Atlantic between
With a passport from Belize, he moved between homes in Europe, the United States and
"As long as I had her I was king," Coates wrote in a letter. "When I let her go, I was never king again."
In 1960s, Coates began transferring his holdings to a complex web of foreign companies, many of them in Liberia. Rancho Guejito is managed from
But Coates wasn't a nouveau riche jet-setter. Money was as natural as the rising sun. He was born with it, married into it (Nancy Coates inherited her own fortune) and made far more through entrepreneurship. Coates believed such wealth should be nurtured and passed on. A student of history, he also recognized money's dark side.
"Almost in the entire history of the world great wealth has been highly associated with disaster, tragedy and unhappiness," Coates wrote.
COATES possessed Old World sensibilities that shaped his views on issues from global politics to family affairs. He could be dismissive of women, those who know him said. He didn't think much of most men either.
"There are very few men that I have great respect for now," Coates wrote to
The letter is similar to others Coates wrote late in life, rambling autobiographical narratives that depict a man of the past intent on controlling the future.
The Liechtenstein trust Coates created in 1986 was the vehicle to accomplish that. Coates named his son, Ben Jr. — listed as vice president of Coates Bros. Co. Inc. on the father's letterhead — to become principal trustee upon his death. Theodate Coates isn't mentioned in the document.
But something happened that changed Benjamin Coates' mind. He had a falling out with his son — no one familiar with the details will say why.
"I just don't think they saw things eye to eye on making a profit, on doing what you're supposed to do, on working a job regularly," said Matthew Dowling, an
So Coates went looking for a man he could groom for the job.
Coates came to know the Hill family of Texas in the early 1960s after he got into the oil business and bought a home in the blueblood River Oaks neighborhood of
Al Hill married heiress Margaret Hunt, the first of H.L. Hunt's 14 children from three families, two of which he kept secret for years. The Hunts and Hills were Texas royalty and embodied qualities Coates admired: generational wealth built by shrewd, self-reliant risk-takers.
Hill's 36-year-old grandson, Al Hill III, is a
How the aging billionaire came to consider Hill worthy of managing his holdings — and passing this responsibility to Hill's male heirs — is spelled out in Hill's lawsuit against Theodate Coates, filed in a New York court. (A separate action was filed this week in a Liechtenstein court.)
"I believe it was the second time I met Al III that I realized the marvelous presence the boy presented," Coates wrote to a lawyer representing the Hill family.
Documents cited in the suit show that Coates told business advisors and attorneys to create a company overseeing a new Cayman Islands trust that Hill would be paid handsomely to manage. Theodate was to play a secondary role, the documents show.
Hill's role, Coates wrote, would be "overlooking what women cannot necessarily do properly — lawyers, employees, etc. Nobody would have ever given me the chance that I am suggesting for Al III."
Hill says he and Coates made an oral agreement for Hill to begin managing the Liechtenstein trust and oversee its transfer to the Caribbean. Coates told his attorney to provide "strong incentives" to prevent his children from challenging the new trust, according to a memo between the two.
Hill wants the courts to hand him the keys to Coates' empire and assess monetary damages against Theodate.
"He's rolling over in his grave right now over how it's being handled," Hill said. "He became like a grandfather to me. And I became like a son to him."
Hill was a pallbearer at Coates' funeral. Ben Coates Jr. didn't attend.
Attempts to reach the younger Coates, 57, were unsuccessful. He carried driver's licenses from Brazil and the Bahamas when he was arrested in 2002 after a confrontation at a
Witnesses reported that Coates burst in screaming about forest fires, suing
Rupp, the Coates family attorney, won't discuss the younger Coates. And Theodate Coates doesn't grant interviews, he said.
Rupp is the public face of Rancho Guejito. A former
Rupp is an indoorsman who finds the ranch's wildness unnerving. "When you go out there, you want to strap on a sidearm," he said. "I don't get out of my car. Things sneak up on you there . There's a rumor that there's a jaguar."
Equally predatory, Rupp says, is Hill's attempt to wrest control of Rancho Guejito and the rest of Benjamin Coates' holdings.
Hill says he is simply trying to fulfill the wishes of his mentor.
"You've got to be kidding!" Rupp said, erupting into laughter and slapping his hand on a table.
Lawyers for Theodate Coates argue that even if her father had signed the new trust documents, it wouldn't have been legal because the original was to last 100 years and is irrevocable. Hill's purported oral agreement with Coates is unenforceable in New York, they argue, and filing a claim in Liechtenstein is irrelevant because, well, this isn't Liechtenstein.
"Mr. Coates only had trust in his daughter. He had trust in Theodate's business acumen, integrity and abilities. That's the way he left it — intentionally," Rupp said. "He basically flirted with the idea of other business [arrangements] but never was serious about any of them."
The detailed memos and draft documents indicate far more than flirtation. Coates, who spent his final years working through the complicated personal and legal issues of his legacy, may have simply run out of time.
"My father's inability to finalize his thinking and put pen to paper," Theodate Coates wrote in a letter to Hill's father before the dispute wound up in court, "has made things more complicated for us than we all would wish."
And his desire to keep Rancho Guejito from becoming "mixed up with money," as he wrote, now seems as fanciful as this unique expanse of Old California that few have ever seen.

Colorado voters kicked Democratic state senators John Morse and Angela Giron out of office Tuesday, the first legislators in the state's 137-year history to be recalled by their constituents.
The Democrats were targeted for their support of strict new gun laws that have drawn both opposition and support since they were passed by a Democratic-controlled state legislature earlier this year, but the opponents had final say in the hard-fought races.

Story highlights
- Drivers will pay less than $2.20 per gallon on average when they fuel up this week
- Some lawmakers want to take advantage of the low fuel costs and increase the gas tax
- International and domestic factors are responsible for the plummeting prices
Washington (CNN)As prices at the pump sink to their lowest levels in years, some lawmakers hope Congress is primed to increase the politically sensitive U.S. gas tax for the first time in more than two decades.
The U.S. benchmark oil price slipped below $50 per barrel on Monday, its lowest mark in nearly four years, and drivers across the nation will pay less than $2.20 per gallon on average when they fuel up this week.
The plummeting prices have led transportation experts, business lobbyists and lawmakers to insist that the coming months -- as they negotiate an extension of the federal infrastructure funding bill -- are their best chance in years to increase the 18.4-cent per gallon gas tax that's used to pay for highways and mass transit.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, is proposing a 12-cent gas tax hike, offset by other tax cuts, that he's co-sponsored with Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut.
"It's revenue neutral, but at least it would put our infrastructure on strong footing. And that second component seems to get left out of the conversation most of the time," he said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
The Senate's No. 3 Republican, John Thune of South Dakota, also signaled a willingness to advance Corker's proposal on the program.
"I don't think we take anything off the table at this point," Thune said. "I think it's important to recognize that we have a problem, an issue that we need a solution for, and we need to look at all the possible ways out there in which we can address the challenge and address the problem."
Oil prices and politics have long been intertwined -- from the 1979 crisis that helped sink Jimmy Carter's presidency to the 2012 campaign pledge by Republican Newt Gingrich to lower gas prices to $2.50 per gallon.
Prices at the pump are often seen as a measure of the economy that's much easier to understand than monthly jobs reports -- and an important one, with wages in recent years failing to keep up with the increasing cost of living.
President Barack Obama has advocated funding transportation projects by instead closing other tax loopholes -- but his spokesman didn't close the door to a gas tax hike on Monday.
"We don't believe the best way to fund modernizing our infrastructure is to raise the gas tax," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters. "But some people do and we're willing to consider those proposals."
The debate is just one bit of policy fallout of the dip in gas prices since September 2014.
Lower gas prices mean more money stays in American consumers' pockets to spend on nights out to eat, the latest electronics and more -- boosting those businesses and the overall economy. But falling gas prices also creates losers -- and those losers will try to reverse their fortunes.
Here's a look at how we got here, and what it could mean in 2015:
Why did oil prices drop?
Sky-high prices in the mid-2000s led energy companies to use every tactic at their disposal to find new resources in order to capitalize on the market.
Companies bought up land in states like North Dakota and Texas. They used new drilling technology and the hydraulic fracturing technique, or "fracking" -- which means injecting high-pressure mix of water and chemicals into shale formations to fracture them, allowing shale oil to flow more freely. It was expensive, but worth the investment, since oil prices were high.
In 2014, production in the Middle East started to ramp up, as well. Meanwhile, with the global economy still sluggish, demand for oil dropped overseas. That left the market flooded and sent prices tumbling downward.
U.S. crude oil sold for about $50 a barrel on Monday -- down more than 50% from its $107 price in June 2014.
That sounds like great news. What's the catch?
There's concern lower oil prices might hurt the United States' push to end its reliance on foreign oil in the long run.
Producing shale oil in North America is more expensive than draining it from the vast oil fields of the Middle East. U.S. energy companies aren't likely to shut down the operations that are already up and running -- but they might stall or cancel plans for further drilling if they aren't breaking even on their product. Whether that will happen, and to what extent, is still up for debate.
Worsening those concerns is OPEC -- the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, a group that includes Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Venezuela and seven other countries -- which coordinates on oil policies and plays a key role in determining global prices.
Rather than slowing down its production, OPEC has let the supply of oil continue to flood into the market in hopes that companies drilling in the United States might eventually decide it's no longer worth it.
There's also a domestic impact. Industries like airlines and automotives might benefit from lower gas prices. But the economies of states that have seen shale production could take hits, as could energy companies, many operating out of Houston.
What do politicians want to do about it?
Nothing immediately -- but it could affect their longer-term plans.
Obama has sought to combat climate change by increasing fuel economy standards, requiring manufacturers to raise the average mileage per gallon of their entire fleet to 54.5 miles by 2025 or else pay a penalty. But that plan could be undermined if buyers, less concerned about high gas prices, choose less fuel efficient options, such as trucks and SUVs.
There's also the connection to gas taxes, which Congress could consider raising while prices are so low.
Why raise gas taxes -- or tax gas at all?
The federal government has to pay for roads, highways and mass transit somehow -- so it requires users to pay for those items by taxing gasoline purchases.
Congress set the gas tax at a flat 18.4 cents per gallon in 1993 -- and it hasn't budged since then, which means that U.S. transportation funding has effectively declined as inflation ticks upward each year.
Right now, the gas tax is bringing in about $34 billion per year. But transportation experts insist the United States' Highway Trust Fund needs much more to pay for badly needed bridge and highway repairs and new projects.
Now that gas prices have dropped to their lowest levels in years, imposing such a tax hike might be less politically painful for Congress. And the timing could be right: The law replenishing the highway fund expires in May.
So what's the hold-up?
The issue doesn't break down along traditional Republican-and-Democratic lines. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, for example, is one of the strongest advocates for a gas tax hike, though it traditionally is anti-tax.
Many politicians who support the idea of pumping more money into transportation funding don't necessarily have a problem with the gas tax. They each just think there are better ways to go about it -- and they rarely agree on which way is the best.
For conservatives, though, the issue remains a bit of a third rail. Long before his unrelated fall tied to ethics issues, former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was excoriated by the right for accepting a transportation funding package that included a gas tax hike in his state -- and his hopes for a presidential bid suffered as a result.

A marvellous thought for today and everyday :-
"Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture and , if possible, speak a few sensible words "
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe .
Goethe had a way with words and the above are for me, a perfect daily prescription.
Who knows, once better I may share my poem for the day with you on a YouTube Vlog.
Sharing a little song may take longer, though once upon a time could churn out a nifty number. Almost every day I do get to hear several lovely numbers .As for pictures. In my own way I've tried to share 'captured' images so will continue to find more .
As for a few sensible words .. promise to do my best.

The last three windows went in today, so we can now officially say good-bye to the plywood that has been keeping the cold air, natural light, and wind out. It is rather odd to see our front yard and street from our den again, I have to say! Not that I'm complaining!
We also got the last of the granite in our kitchen and had granite put around our fireplace. (Back story: We pulled off the old tile that was around the fireplace before Annika was born, but never got around to putting up something new. Today, that wrong was made right and it looks GORGEOUS! We were able to use some of the leftover granite from the kitchen for the fireplace. Bonus!)
I'm going to have to cut this post short; the smell of the bondo used on the windows is starting to make me a bit woozy-headed. Until next time...

Los Angeles Leathercraft
Sep 5th, 2012
Uniforma's first collection was crafted in collaboration with Los Angeles Leathercraft. Founded by Mitzi Guidry, Los Angeles Leathercraft produces quality leather goods crafted by skilled leatherworkers in LA. We're excited that our first collection was designed and produced not just in the USA, but right here in California. We talked with Mitzi about this history of her business and how the Uniforma line was developed.
U: What drew you to leather after your background in fashion?
MG: I had a women's knitwear line back in the early 2000s and I started to incorporate leather trim, and eventually entire leather pieces, into the last few collections. I became really interested at that point in leather so when I discontinued the line I sought out a job where I could work with and learn more about leather. I completely lucked out and found a job as a Product Developer for Wrangler Western accessories at Chambers Belt in Commerce, CA. There was an incredible sample department staffed with craftsmen who had been handcrafting leather accessories for 25-30 years. On my lunch breaks or after hours I would design accessories for myself and friends and the sample makers would teach me how to make them. I fell in love with leather at that point.
U: My blue Uniforma wallet is so soft. How do you go about sourcing your materials? Where do the leathers for the Uniforma line come from?
MG: We are very proud of our efforts in sourcing most of our raw materials within North America, however, in some cases such as the Uniform collection, which is Italian lamb skin, we will work with suppliers in Europe and South America.
U: You started Los Angeles Leathercraft with experienced leather craftsmen you'd worked with while producing products for Wrangler. Who is on your team today? What do they specialize in?
MG: Our craftsmen are the same men who produced the products I developed for Wrangler. When the company we were all working for closed their doors in LA, a small group of us started Los Angeles Leathercraft. So they have years of experience in traditional Western detailing… hand tooling, inlays, various types of hand stitching/knotting etc. They are so highly skilled and have worked on so many intricately detailed products that they could probably craft some of our simpler styles with their eyes closed!
U: You started Los Angeles Leathercraft after the manufacturing site you work at moved overseas. What's the hardest part of owning a small business?
MG: The hardest part of owning a small business is knowing that everything depends on my efforts. I am constantly servicing accounts and seeking out new business opportunities to keep work flowing. There is never a break from that, which is fine for me because I love what I do and I love my clients and the products that we make together, but there are moments where that reality hits me and it can be overwhelming.
U: What's your favorite Los Angeles Leathercraft product -- something you use/wear most and can't do without?
MG: I wear a brindle, hair-on cow hide skinny belt almost everyday. It's very neutral in color but the texture of the hair adds a little interest to whatever I'm wearing.
U: What was the process like for designing the Uniforma products?
MG: Kelly and I have worked on many design projects together in the past so it was awesome to be able to work with her again. She is an artist and she had a very clear vision so that combination, with any client, always makes my role fun and easy. Since the leather pieces are just one part of the Uniforma story, we had to consider how the function, materials and colors would relate to the ceramic and textiles pieces to keep the story cohesive. It was exciting to watch all the products come together… not just the leather pieces.

|Labor Day at Lanny's house
|August 2013 in Scofield
|MMHS Homecoming Extravaganza
|Sierra's birthday party with the family
I was seriously afraid that he was going to get kicked out of school.
Rick went to the school, talked to the principal, talked with the teachers, talked with the counselor.
I have spent my mornings (and afternoons) visiting the school, checking up on the little guy.
We have spent hours reading, working on homework, and the piano...oh the piano.
But, I am happy to report that Cole is still in school. He is doing better in his classes. There is still room for improvement. He is still going to the counselor. And piano is still a struggle--sometimes.
He is happier, more cooperative, and is overall a much better kid than he was a month ago.
I don't know what the deal is with the beginning of the school year, but I am already dreading August 2014.
Thanks for your support and prayers for this little guy. It means a lot to us and obviously is a big help to him.
Cole has been so funny recently about aliens. He overheard us talking about Area 57 a few days ago.
Then he saw some Youtube videos at the neighbors house about ghosts. He was afraid of his own shadow.
So, he came up to my bed the other night and said, "Mom, are ghosts real?"
We had a little talk about ghosts and then I asked him if he was OK and if there was anything else he wanted to talk about.
He said, "yah, what ARE buffalo wings?"

Hey girls just wondering in general do you prefer a hairy/tidy/completely shaved cock?
Hey girls just wondering in general do you prefer a hairy/tidy/completely shaved cock?
well I'm shaven below and trimmed on the top. And the women love it! And i love shaven women too.
I hada hairy cock but one day an escort who shall remain nameless but that I am thankful for shaved me for fun. Since then I have shaved regulary. It is definately a turn on for not only escorts but any women you mat pick up on a night out. Try it you will be amamzed at the results
I have to say I prefer shaved
I myself am shaved and like the guy to be.
Its better for hygeine and its better when I suck you off.
The sucking off begins in earnest on Tuesday
Sorcha XXX
i'm not going into the debate of whether shaved is good or not - my opinion on this subject can be found on several threads - but sorcha's point on hygiene is wrong!!!
if an escort cleans herself after and before every client and the client does the same how can there be a hygiene issue???
this is just an excuse ecorts come up with so they can remain shaven and justify it in their heads!
one of the reasons is an underlying obsession to feel young again - just the way they were when they were young girls - pre pubesent!
and worst still is men wanting this look from a woman for the same reasons!!!
you think i'm wrong - think again!
this issue was discussed in a documentry on bbc 2 and it was very disturbing - this borders on paedofilia!!!
Must admit i dont think about it much,

So, for fun, I entered myself to be considered to be on CraftGossip. And then . . . (drumroll). . . THEY ACTUALLY PUT ME ON THE WEBSITE!!!!
Check it out HERE. And then leave me a comment saying how amazing I am. (Remember what I said before about compliments going to my head? Well, it just exploded.)

I think you should go into full time cute felt tableaux production and sell them on etsy - they are adorable and unique, i found you through craft gossip (many congrats on being featured)when i was baking a smittenkitchen cake and procrastinating. You have inspired me to shell out for a huge coloured selection of felt on e-bay, so thanks for making me 'waste' more money. Good luck, CatReplyDelete
Whhaaaaat?! I am so excited you for Julia! This is awesome!ReplyDelete

If you noticed a slimmer, more svelte Trisha Yearwood at Sunday's ACM Awards, there's a reason. Trisha tells People she's been dieting and exercising and has lost about 20 pounds.
However, she admits she didn't completely give up all her favorite foods to fit in the stunning orange and red Stella McCartney dress she wore. "I'm doing very little sugar," she says. "And occasionally I have the mac and cheese."
The host of Food Network's Trisha's Southern Kitchen isn't afraid to admit to she struggles with her size.
"Real people battle their weight," she says. "We all struggle between eating healthy and falling off the wagon. That's how I live."

So, today is Monday. Big freaking deal. I am sick of people who assume that Monday should be the worst day of the week. I am having a good Monday. I am on a rant about user's that call up for help and then are too damn impatient to get the help they need.
I have a co-worker that will be known as GMF, if you can't figure that out, then I pity ya. He is a prime example of a tech worker who's time has come and gone. He is clueless about most newer technologies but speaks as if he is an expert on all. He never passes up spewing his liberal option on any either. I work along side this person for 7 hours a day but consider it a good day if I only speak to him once or twice. The sad part is that he is a pretty nice guy, just misguided.
So Friday past was our Poker Night, I came out ahead a whole 7 dollars. Pretty funny considering I played like a jackass the whole night. Well, gotta go earn a dollar for the man, later troops.

For the second edition in a row, Toad Hall finds itself spread across the pages of Nursery Management Today (NMT) magazine as Toad Hall talks once again to Sue Churchill about our efforts to promote healthy eating.
Recent research by King's College, London, has revealed that, while obesity rates for the population as a whole are still on the increase, rates for the under-10s are actually levelling off. This is great news, and owes much to the emphasis that we and others in the early years sector have placed on the provision of healthy food for the children.
However, obesity rates for children over 11 continue to rise. It's clear that more needs to be done to stem the predominance of processed foods in families' diets, and the role of education in that change is crucial.
The article looks at how we at Toad Hall engage with our parents and children to encourage healthy eating, starting with our award-winning nursery menus and our Cook and Grow programme, which gets the children involved in growing and cooking food and inevitably brings parents along for the ride!
The article is also full of praise for our recipe book so if you haven't already done so, don't forget to download or order your hard copy on our website.
You can read the full NMT article here.

Now our civilization is stuck in a quagmire of fundamentalist dogma, and fear of technology. No longer does our nation have the confidence in our future we had then. No longer can we look for ever increasing advancement, but rather we are retrograde in our expectations. It seems like we're just waiting around for the end of us.
We need to recapture that vigor of the Apollo era. That expectation of off world colonies and exploration. Of ever increasing advancement. We must do it before we are no longer capable of it because of the decay of our civilizations base. Because of a greedy few who only want to grab every thing they can, without regard for humanities future.
