Abe Vigoda continue to abruptly turn their sound on its head with "To Tears," the latest track to emerge from their upcoming album Crush. Any remaining people still clinging to their old "tropical punk" tag should finally be converted to the band's new sound. While still chock full of chiming and nervously twitchy guitars, a bank of synths makes an appearance, and the overall mood of the tune is a lot darker. A brave step forward, that's for sure.
"To Tears" can be heard over at Stereogum. Crush is due out via PPM on Sept. 21.

Bastille Mashes-Up Two '90s Dance Hits In "Of The Night" Music Video
Our love for Brit boys Bastille is no secret. We selected "Pompeii" as one of our favorite songs of 2013, regularly turn into a tween girl whenever lead singer Dan Smith is on TV (this spring's SNL performance come to mind) and had pegged "Of The Night" to be a Song of Summer 2014 contender before this week's video release.
The group's latest single mashes-up two of the '90s most energetic and uplifting dance tracks—Corona's "The Rhythm of the Night" and Snap!'s "Rhythm Is a Dancer. Bastille's version, while still electronic with a heavy syncopated dance rhythm, is a deep, contemporary take on some of the biggest club hits of the Clinton decade; still, we were pleasantly surprised by the dark storyline the brand-spank-us new music video took to show it off and we think you will be, too.
What do you think of the new video and homage to '90s dance music from one of the biggest groups on radio?
Wait... Im pretty sure this video and song came out just after Halloween last year....
I freaking love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's brilliant
The video is EPT. Extreme poor taste.
Loved the song.. Video is a bit dark and was that guy they pulled out of the pool Joseph Morgan from the originals?

Matt Lemke | Climbed from Beaver Creek Parking garage! As a DAY hike!!! Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2010 | |
From Beaver Creek we started at 4am and got to the end of the trail walking by sunrise. I was feeling pretty good and by the time Jackson finally came into view it was around 9am. Summited and enjoyed the views of Holy Cross to one side and Gold Dust to the other. Also enjoyed the foliage on the return trip. | ||

beatnik | Almost... Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2012 | |
Didn't quite make it to the top. Left BC about 3:30am hoping to beat afternoon storms. Got to the Lakes at dusk and watched fog rolling off them. Made the straight shot up the west side of the lakes. The 700 ft steep climb put this flatlander on his ass. Was able to make it up to the 1st or 2nd ridge. I know I was somewhere between 12.5 and 13K because I could look across to Grouse which I have climbed before. Sucking wind and weak with dark puffy clouds rolling in from Gold Dust and New York I made the tough decision to end it. Didn't want to risk injury continuing up the rocks. I had roughly 1 mile to go but the thought of making that 700 ft drop back to the lake in rain had me spooked. Turned out wise because it starting raining as I left the lakes. Maybe some other time. I might choose to take the long route up Grouse Mtn trail if I try this again. | ||

Solo hike starting at 2am from Beaver Creek parking garage. Followed good trail by headlamp (and moonlight) all the way to Upper Turquois Lake. Lots of mud and water. Climbed west from the lake up a short, steep gully to Jackson's long north ridge. Followed ridge to Jackson, UN 13433, and then reversed route. 21 miles, 6600 ft, 9 hrs 15 mins. Feeling strong! | ||

Day climb from Beaver Creek village with Steve Knapp. This was about a 21 mile round trip, which I think makes it my longest single day mileage for peaks. The views of the heart of Holy Cross Wilderness are spectacular and well worth the trek! | ||

Colonelpyat | From Cross Creek Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2004 | |
Climbed this one on a two day outing up Cross Creek. I carried the full pack up to about 11,300' in the basin below the east face of the peak to get some nice sunrise and sunset views. I was hurting for a few days after that. Great views from this one. | ||

Larry V | My 4th of July climb Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2006 | |
Climbed solo as my brothers and usual climbing partners were not gung-ho for a 21 to 22-mile, overnight trek. It was their loss and my gain, however. This was one of the most scenic trips, with beautiful weather, and saw an abundance of wildlife. You really can't beat the views of the Gold Dust peaks and the rest of the northern Sawatch Range from Mount Jackson. The abrupt appearance of the Holy Cross Ridge really stunned me. | ||

There's not enough time to do absolutely everything but if nightlife is your priority then you will definitely find time for it in all of those cities.
And yes, I had a blast! The whole focus of that trip is to give you lots of time to do your own thing, so there's less time hanging out as a big group. It's a tradeoff and most people end up in small groups doing their own thing. - 0 people like this

Amitabh surrendered his agriculture land
Trying to shut all controversies, Bollywood's Mega Superstar Amitabh Bachchan is said to have surrendered all his agricultural land in Barabanki district, adjoining the state capital to the government for constructing a school.
According to sources, Bachchan has wrote a letter through the Sarpanch of Daulatpur, where the agricultural land of three plots measuring 4.5 bigha, to the UP Chief Minister Mayawati about his decision to surrender the land to the government for setting up a school.
"Big B is also stated that he will provide financial assistance for setting up the proposed school there", sources added.
Munnu Singh, husband of the woman Sarpanch of Daulatpur village told UNI that his wife has sent Big B's letter to the government about the proposal.
Meanwhile, Barabanki district authorities have yet to confirm about the move of Big B.
Earlier Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Division has stayed the proceedings against Mr Bachachan on the decision of the Faizabad divisional commissioner's court on the illegal procedure followed to hand over a gram sabha land to the Bollywood star. The court is slated to hear the case on July 23 next.
However, petitioner Amir Haider who had filed a case against Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Jaya Bachchan, wife of Big B, for concealing the details about the land in her affadavit during the RS polls, told UNI here today that there is no dispute on two pieces of land purchased by the Mega star, and that he can donate it to anyone he feels right.
"I have filed the petition against Jaya only for concealing the facts in his RS nomination affadavit", Mr Haider said.
He said there is no question of surrendering the third plot as it had been acquired illegally, as Gram Samaj land could not be transferred to any other name.
The Election Commission (EC), is already probing into the petition filed against Ms Bachchan for concealing facts about immovable property in her affidavit which was filed along with the nomination papers for the RS polls in 2006.
In her reply, the SP MP had stated that the mentioned property was on purchase process when she had filed the affadavit for the RS poll and it was not registered in the Tehsildar's note book.
In 2005, Jaya was disqualified by the EC for holding an office of profit as chairperson of the 'UP Film Development Corporation.' She was re-elected to the Rajya Sabha in a bypoll held in June 2006, after the post was removed from the office of profit category.
However, petitions were also filed in the Commissioner Court at Faizabad and in the Allahabad High Court over the illegal transfer of government lands to Amitabh Bachchan and his family members in Barabanki.
A Congress leader, Mr Haider, an advocate in neighbouring Barabanki district, had filed a petition with the EC on October 19, 2006 stating that Jaya had concealed facts about two properties in the name of her husband Amitabh Bachchan, which were purchased just a fortnight before filing the affidavit for the RS by-poll.
Mr Haider claimed that Jaya had not disclosed those two pieces of land, which were purchased in May, 2006, which tantamount to concealing facts and is, therefore, punishable under the RP Act.
The affidavit of Jaya filed on June 1, 2006 shows only one piece of land of 0.25 hectare in Big B's name. However, it did not mention other two pieces of land measuring 1.3 hectare and 1.5 hectare, which were also purchased in the name of Mr Bachchan at Daulatpur village of Fatehpur tehsil, Barabanki.
The land mentioned in the affidavit also entered into a controversy with a petition in the High Court claiming it was a Gram Samaj (village council) land meant to be distributed among the poor and landless farmers of Dalit community.

Original songs were added and the play powerfully tackled the issue of race in rock and roll.
We should no more tolerate a "religious exemption" for those who oppose same-sex marriage than on race.
But he insisted his speech Tuesday night would not dwell on race.
Randy and wife, Tina, said they had both wanted to vote for Herman Cain until he dropped out of the race in the fall.
Where race will not determine whether or not they get a job, attend college, or get invited to certain social engagements.
It was now for Ralph a race to the engine and his friend Barton.
Marriage is the best means we've found for perpetuating and improving the race.
It has made me a firm believer in the degeneration of the race.
Boss, that friend of yours has a vocabulary that'd turn a mule into a race horse.
Hereditary surnames are said to be memorials of race that can never be obliterated.
"act of running," c.1300, from Old Norse ras "running, rush (of water)," cognate with Old English ræs "a running, a rush, a leap, jump; a storming, an attack;" or else a survival of the Old English word with spelling influenced by the Old Norse one. The Norse and Old English words are from Proto-Germanic *res- (cf. Middle Dutch rasen "to rave, rage," German rasen, Old English raesettan "to rage" (of fire)), from a variant form of PIE *ers- "be in motion" (see err). Originally a northern word, it became general in English c.1550. Meaning "act of running" is from early 14c. Meaning "contest of speed" first recorded 1510s.
"people of common descent," a word from the 16th century, from Middle French race, earlier razza "race, breed, lineage, family" (16c.), possibly from Italian razza, of unknown origin (cf. Spanish and Portuguese raza). Etymologists say no connection with Latin radix "root," though they admit this might have influenced the "tribe, nation" sense.
Original senses in English included "wines with characteristic flavor" (1520), "group of people with common occupation" (c.1500), and "generation" (1540s). Meaning "tribe, nation, or people regarded as of common stock" is by 1560s. Modern meaning of "one of the great divisions of mankind based on physical peculiarities" is from 1774 (though as OED points out, even among anthropologists there never has been an accepted classification of these).
Just being a Negro doesn't qualify you to understand the race situation any more than being sick makes you an expert on medicine. [Dick Gregory, 1964]In mid-20c. U.S. music catalogues, "Negro." Klein suggests these derive from Arabic ra's "head, beginning, origin" (cf. Hebrew rosh). Old English þeode meant both "race, folk, nation" and "language;" as a verb, geþeodan, it meant "to unite, to join."
"strong current of water," late 14c., perhaps a particular use of race (n.1), or from or influenced by Old French raz, which had a similar meaning, and which probably is from Breton raz "a strait, narrow channel;" this French source also may have given race its meaning of "channel of a stream" (especially an artificial one to a mill), which is recorded in English from 1560s.
c.1200, rasen "to rush," from a Scandinavian source akin to the source of race (n.1), reinforced by the noun in English and by Old English cognate ræsan "to rush headlong, hasten, enter rashly." Meaning "run swiftly" is from 1757. Meaning "run in competition against" is from 1809. Transitive sense of "cause to run" is from 1860. In reference to an engine, etc., "run with uncontrolled speed," from 1862. Related: Raced; racing.
race (rās)
A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.
A population of organisms differing from others of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits; a subspecies.
A breed or strain, as of domestic animals.

Mobile Technologies' flagship product is Jibbigo, which is billed as a speech-to-speech translator on a phone that runs online and even offline, whether or not you've got an Internet connection. Travelers use Jibbigo to communicate in foreign countries and healthcare workers overcome the language challenge in humanitarian missions.
"Facebook, with its mission to make the world more open and connected, provides the perfect platform to apply our technology at a truly global scale," Mobile Technologies wrote in the acquisition announcement. "We look forward to continuing to develop our technology at Facebook and finding new and interesting ways to apply it to Facebook's long-term product roadmap."
Facebook Vocalizes Plans
Tom Stocky, director of product management at Facebook, wrote about the deal on his web page. He said the company has an "amazing team" and some of the world's leading speech recognition and machine translation technology.
"It has always been our mission to make the world more open and connected. Although more than a billion people around the world already use Facebook every month, we are always looking for ways to help connect the rest of the world as well," Stocky said.
"Voice technology has become an increasingly important way for people to navigate mobile devices and the web, and this technology will help us evolve our products to match that evolution," he said. "We believe this acquisition is an investment in our long-term product roadmap as we continue towards our company's mission."
Competing With Google, Microsoft
We turned to Greg Sterling, principal analyst at Sterling Market Intelligence, to get his take on the acquisition. Given the international scope and scale of Facebook, he told us machine translation of content, messages and communications would be useful.
"Jibbigo obviously also has direct application in mobile, 'on the go' travel and business scenarios," he said. "Google and Microsoft both offer machine language translation -- and are the big players here -- as do a few independent companies. None of them are great but the technology is making strides and will be much improved over time."
Although Sterling doesn't have any on the accuracy of Jibbigo versus Microsoft's or Google's technology, he sees the buy as a smart grab for Facebook. The app works without a network connection, he said, which isn't always true of translation apps. He figured the deal is at least as much about getting the team and the developers as the core translation technology.
The feedback from Facebook users is so far positive. One commenter on Stocky's post said, "How do we get more information about this merger? I work for a non-profit with lots of supporters in the Philippines but we feel very disconnected from them. How will this merger help us communicate with our members and students, affiliates and partners?"
Another commenter wrote, "This is REALLY cool stuff Tom! Voice tech is definitely becoming more important in terms of how we use our devices and ultimately connect with one another. Looking forward to following this merger and seeing how FB integrates it! Whoohoo!"

Language discussion and expression, a view from the city: "A fascinating and enlightening look at language and other important matters" - Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune "...definitely an interesting voice!" - Languagehat.com "...a great site!" - Mary Beard, Times Literary Supplement
Fly cutely!
Mad Minerva (an excellent blog) had a link to the cutest, or even the *only* cute plane in the galaxy: the Hello Kitty Jet. It flies between Taiwan in Japan, which is why the site is in multi-stroked Chinese and you can hear a high-pitched woman saying something cute, I'm sure.
But I think the Japanese Hello Kitty Jet site is even cuter--their cuteness standards are higher, after all, and they're probably the target customers for this very cute airline. Even the site's functions are cute--you can turn off the music by tapping the pink bow.
It's almost inspiring enough to change the color scheme of this blog back to pink (an experiment which lasted a few hours).

Speck d'alce(elk speck)
My cousin, whom I've mentioned here prior, stopped over for the 1st of 2 venison drop offs.(More on that at a later date) Among all the "roasts" was a little vacuum sealed frozen pearl, on which "elk" was scribbled in black marker. I was asked if I wanted it and/or if I could do anything with it. He didn't ask again. Being only one genome off from venison, I knew I could treat it the same. So, with that, I decided to "speck" it. The speck subject has been covered ad nauseum here, so, I'll spare you the banality. This was prepared exactly as pig speck. This was cured, cased, smoked and dried the exact same time as 3 other venison bresaole I just made. However, this took about 1.5 weeks longer to dry out. Tough to say why, the leanness is near the same, which is to say quite lean. Just pulled it down today and cut into it. Tastes no different than venison, honestly. Slightly gamey, nicely smoked. All around very tasty. Side by side, you wouldn't even know it was elk vs. venison. But, at least I've satisfied my desire to work with elk.........successfully.

Good review, but no mention of built-in microphones for tuning acoustic guitars! That's currently what I'm looking for (as my trusty TU-2 is lacking this).

Great review, Chappers!
I've been thinking of upgrading to the Polytune... so it's interesting to see a proper critical review rather than the usual love-fest that this pedal has been getting.
At the end of the day, it doesn't look like it would give me much more than my current Korg pitchblack - so I'll probably just keep what I have!

great review. - But it's TC electronic - Not TC Electronics ;)

Hey Chappers you completely missed the point of why and how the PolyTune works and saves time! Shame on you as your reviews are usually soooo good mate :(
This is what's wrong with your review and understanding of the product (yes I have one and have done many many gigs with it now). It's awesome!!!
1. The whole point of poly mode is to show you at a glance if your guitar is in tune or not - not to tune a wildly out instrument like it was at the start of tuning. A normal guitarist would pluck the individual strings first and it will switch to the needle mode automatically).
2. I can see why there is a difference between poly and mono also here watch what you're doing with your left hand that's resting and giving so much force onto the machine heads that will knock them out by a cent or two – actually if you let it ring after each strum rather than keep playing and playing you would see the poly mode shows that the bottom E was sharp too.
3. The company name is TC Electronic not TC Electronics! Tip - that's what shown on the pedal and packaging – this is sloppy…
Sorry to be pedantic but I hate to see poor rubbish like this video knock one of the best products out there!!! I'm convinced that if you took the time to use one at a gig you'd see how fab this is mate. Seriously Sonicstate used to have expert reviews but after seeing this no wonder they never come up in gear talks/boards these days like they used to…

My girlfriend is after some bassy customs. I am doing the research for her: her budget it $1000.
Does the Merlin fit the bill?
I have gone with Unique Melody before for my ES3X remould, they are absolutely amazing, but the wait time was 14 weeks (this is last year).
Has this been cleared up yet?
I think remoulds get less priority than the UM custom IEMs.

A Friday morning in The Big D
Hey everyone, happy New Year's Eve Eve from Dallas!
I actually landed in Dallas yesterday, as those of you who read The Times-Tribune every day could surmise. But it was such a hectic — and tiring — day that by the end of it, there was little time left to blog.
Part of the issue was, there was so much to blog, too.
While the schedule for the rest of the trip, med- and team-wise, is pretty light on evening events — practice and interviews and press conferences will be completed by the early afternoon most days — last night the team had a dinner at the famous Gilley's honky tonk in downtown Dallas. There was a hypnotist and some funny moments, which I'll share later, but there were also plenty of chances to talk to some big names at Penn State.
Included among them were the biggest name Penn State has, right now:
Acting athletic director Dave Joyner spoke to the press for the first time since Nov. 22 and asked for more patience as the coaching search pressed on into its 50th day.
Like I told a few friends last night, if you simply wrote down some of Joyner's quotes, handed them to somebody and didn't tell that person who said them, he would probably guess they came from Joe Paterno. Joyner seems to take a lot of pride in his ability not to tip his hand. Not that I blame him, but even Joyner admits he knows how frustrating the lack of answers with this coaching search can be for fans.
I went into pretty significant detail about his chat with us in the story I linked to above. But if you want the Cliff Notes version, here it is:
-He hasn't settled on a coach, despite rumors that insist he has.
-Interviews are not complete.
-College coaching experience is not necessarily a must.
-He said he expects the coach's salary, which has become sort of a hot-button issue considering how relatively little the university paid Paterno, will be fair and doesn't expect cash to be an issue in landing the coach Penn State really needs and wants.
-He said he expects to have a coach in place before the final three open weeks of the recruiting season, which would put him at mid-January, at the latest. When asked if he could see the search going beyond January, Joyner offered an emphatic no.
So, there you have it. The moral of the story is, keep waiting. Joyner insist the pool of candidates has been impressive, even though he wouldn't give a specific number to the amount of interviews he has conducted — unless you count "more than one and less than 40″ as a specific number.
Honestly, we've heard a lot of crazy names the last few days. I've heard a few, from good sources mind you, that I can't believe myself. I don't particularly want to share them with you for a few reasons: 1.) It's not good journalism to report something without thoroughly checking it out first, and 2.) We've seen some names thrown out there already with relative certainty that have been, well, anything but certain. (I tried to warn you guys about Mike Munchak.)
My advice to the frustrated masses: Try to roll with this. Try to consider the sources of the information. Sometimes, good journalists get bad information. More often, questionable journalists latch on to a rumor, won't let it go and eventually it becomes fact in their minds. Maybe Joyner has an ace up his sleeve. Maybe he doesn't. The fact of the matter is, nobody knows for sure. It's all speculation right now. Try to treat it as such, no matter how the information you're getting is packaged.
Now that my rant is over, on to more news:
-Matt McGloin didn't practice again on Thursday and, through a team spokesman, elected not to talk to the media. Maybe McGloin can practice today — it seems unlikely, but nobody's saying he definitely won't. I'll say this though: Rob Bolden is acting like he's going to start. You can read more about him in this notebook.
-Junior DT Jordan Hill said he submitted his paperwork to the NFL to get some further information on his potential draft status, which isn't an uncommon thing for promising juniors to do. He's expecting the news to return any day now, but it's not sounding like Hill really wants to leave. If he gets an unbelievable report — like, first or second round — he said he'd probably have to consider jumping. But his exact words were that he wanted to stay at Penn State.
I asked if the coaching search in any way could affect his decision, if there could be such a disappointing hire that he'd declare for the draft no matter what the NFL's report said. He said there was very little chance he'd be swayed by who the coach winds up being.
-Talked to Tom Starr, the CEO of the TicketCity Bowl, who said Penn State's allotment of 6,000 tickets for the game on Monday has been selling more briskly lately. Still, Starr said he'd be happy if 45,000-50,000 tickets were sold for the game, which will be held in the 92,000-seat Cotton Bowl. There have been 41,000 or 42,000 tickets sold so far, and Starr said the walk-up crowd last year was pretty good (3,000-4,000) despite nasty weather. This year, the weather is supposed to be beautiful for the game.
-There are some hysterical pictures floating around online of a hypnotist putting some Penn State players who volunteered to participate under his spell at Gilley's last night. Nate Stupar and Brandon Beachum were the only two I immediately recognized, probably because they were among the closest to the stage as I walked by toward the door. I didn't see the entire deal, but it looked like the entire line of players was asleep. I think it was a gag. I hope, actually, that it was a gag. Because if not, we should have put some pressure on Joyner to join the group. We'd have gotten some more revealing answers then.
-If you've seen Urban Cowboy, the John Travolta movie from the early '80s, then you've heard of Gilley's. And if you've heard of Gilley's, you know there's a mechanical bull somewhere in the building. Tom Bradley did, and he spent the early part of the night trying to coerce some of the writers to give it a shot. In my younger days, maybe. (For what it's worth, the bull wasn't available for use to the teams last night. No idea why. Safety probably came into play. Jordan Hill was willing to give it a try.)
OK, practice starts, I believe, at 10 or so this morning, so it's time to start getting ready for that. Stay tuned all day, and through the game, for more updates on the TicketCity Bowl.

Our Favorite Recipe:
Our sweet memories of Pineapple Upside-Down Cake go back to childhood. We counted ourselves lucky if we were able to retrieve a portion of the softened pineapple that stuck to the bottom of the skillet. These morsels only increased our anticipation for the time when a real slice would come accompanied by a dollop of sweetened cream.
The Search for the Best Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Recipe
This Southern delight is noted for being baked in a cast iron skillet. Our Test Kitchen's skillets got a workout as we tested recipes in search of the all-time best pineapple upside-down cake recipe. The cake that wowed us came from My Mother's Southern Desserts by James and Martha Pearl Villas (William Morrow Cookbooks, 1998). The gooey pineapple and cherries coated with a buttery brown sugar glaze were scrumptious. But it was the cake base that tasted like no other—light and tender. The pineapple juice helped add volume and flavor, while the egg whites folded into the batter lightened it. If you're short on time, check out our express version within the original recipe, which uses a cake mix.
Pinapple Upside-Down Cake Tips
When inverting the cake, make sure the plate is larger than the skillet to catch additional fruit juices. You may be fortunate enough to sneak a bite of sticky topping and crumbs hot from the skillet. You can serve Pineapple Upside-Down Cake warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

New York, January 10, 2014 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the rating of one class in Morgan Stanley Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-C1 as follows:
Cl. X-1, Affirmed Caa3 (sf); previously on Feb 21, 2013 Affirmed Caa3 (sf)
The rating of the IO class, Class X-1, was affirmed based on the credit performance (or the weighted average rating factor or WARF) of its referenced classes. The IO class is the only outstanding Moody's-rated class in this transaction.
Moody's rating action reflects a base expected loss of 0.6% of the current balance compared to 1.9% at Moody's last review. Moody's base expected loss plus realized losses is now 0.8% of the original pooled balance, compared to 0.9% at the last review. Moody's provides a current list of base expected losses for conduit and fusion CMBS transactions on moodys.com at http://v3.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBS_SF215255.
The rating of an IO class is based on the credit performance of its referenced classes. An IO class may be upgraded based on a lower weighted average rating factor or WARF due to an overall improvement in the credit quality of its reference classes. An IO class may be downgraded based on a higher WARF due to a decline in the credit quality of its reference classes, paydowns of higher quality reference classes or non-payment of interest. Classes that have paid off through loan paydowns or amortization are not included in the WARF calculation. Classes that have experienced losses are grossed up for losses and included in the WARF calculation, even if Moody's has withdrawn the rating.
The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's Approach to Rating CMBS Large Loan/Single Borrower Transactions" published in July 2000. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.
Moody's review incorporated the use of the excel-based Large Loan Model v 8.6. The large loan model derives credit enhancement levels based on an aggregation of adjusted loan level proceeds derived from Moody's loan level LTV ratios. Major adjustments to determining proceeds include leverage, loan structure, property type, and sponsorship. These aggregated proceeds are then further adjusted for any pooling benefits associated with loan level diversity, other concentrations and correlations.
As of the December 16, 2013 distribution date, the transaction's aggregate certificate balance has decreased by nearly 100% to $1.9 million from $640.7 million at securitization. The certificates are collateralized by two mortgage loans constituting 22% and 78% of the pool. No loans are defeased.
The two remaining loans in this deal are on the master servicer's watchlist. The watchlist includes loans that meet certain portfolio review guidelines established as part of the CRE Finance Council (CREFC) monthly reporting package. As part of Moody's ongoing monitoring of a transaction, the agency reviews the watchlist to assess which loans have material issues that could affect performance.
Two loans have been liquidated from the pool, resulting in an aggregate realized loss of $5.4 million (for an average loss severity of 96%). There are no loans currently in special servicing.
Moody's received full year 2012 and full or partial year 2013 operating results for 100% of the pool. Moody's weighted average conduit LTV is 46%, compared to 32% at Moody's last review. Moody's net cash flow (NCF) reflects a weighted average haircut of 13% to the most recently available net operating income (NOI). Moody's value reflects a weighted average capitalization rate of 10.4%.
Moody's actual and stressed conduit DSCRs are 0.60X and 2.56X, respectively, compared to 1.43X and 3.58X at the last review. Moody's actual DSCR is based on Moody's NCF and the loan's actual debt service. Moody's stressed DSCR is based on Moody's NCF and a 9.25% stress rate the agency applied to the loan balance.
For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and Sensitivity to Assumptions of the disclosure form.
Moody's did not receive or take into account a third-party assessment on the due diligence performed regarding the underlying assets or financial instruments related to the monitoring of this transaction in the past six months.
The analysis includes an assessment of collateral characteristics and performance to determine the expected collateral loss or a range of expected collateral losses or cash flows to the rated instruments. As a second step, Moody's estimates expected collateral losses or cash flows using a quantitative tool that takes into account credit enhancement, loss allocation and other structural features, to derive the expected loss for each rated instrument.
Moody's did not use any stress scenario simulations in its analysis.
For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For further information please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com.
For any affected securities or rated entities receiving direct credit support from the primary entity(ies) of this rating action, and whose ratings may change as a result of this rating action, the associated regulatory disclosures will be those of the guarantor entity. Exceptions to this approach exist for the following disclosures, if applicable to jurisdiction: Ancillary Services, Disclosure to rated entity, Disclosure from rated entity.
Regulatory disclosures contained in this press release apply to the credit rating and, if applicable, the related rating outlook or rating review.
Please see www.moodys.com for any updates on changes to the lead rating analyst and to the Moody's legal entity that has issued the rating.

The Penang Bridge International Marathon committee has opened its poster design competition for participation by the public this week. Those with creative talents or an interest in graphic design are encouraged to participate and to submit their best design to the committee. The first prize winner for this competition will receive the cash prize of RM2,000 while the second prize winner will receive RM1,000.
Furthermore, the winning design may also be used as the overall design theme for this year's Penang Bridge International Marathon, if it meets the required standards, which will appear in all promotional items including flyers, billboards, web banners, runner's guide, ads and more.
The Penang Bridge International Marathon 2013 will be held on 17 November at the Second Penang Bridge. Last year, the committee received a total of 34,500 runners and was named as Malaysia's Largest Bridge Run by Malaysia Book of Records for the second consecutive year. This year, the committee is targeting a total of 50,000 runners. We are expecting the event to be much bigger and hope it can be broadcasted on national television this time round. Hence, the committee is actively looking for bigger sponsors and cordially invites organizations who are interested to contact its office.
The early bird (online) registration for the marathon will tentatively open on 1 March at www.penangmarathon.gov.my.

Interview: Brent Budsberg and Shana McCaw Depict Dreams at the Armoury
Seven years ago Shana McCaw and Brent Budsberg met in Milwaukee coordinating a performance art event. At that time, their monumental hopscotch game created the connection between four art galleries, which included Flux Design, and Brent and Shana, who were married about four years later. Today McCaw (Cranbrook Academy of Art, MFA) and Budsberg (UW-Milwaukee, BFA) hold degrees in sculpture but collaboratively construct site-specific installations usually composed of highly detailed miniatures, tiny but realistic objects from everyday life, expressing the emotions expereinced during the hazy consciousness between waking and sleeping or dreams. Two new installations by McCaw and Budsberg open in "Night Work" at the Armoury Gallery on Friday, March 27 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. In their working studio, which appears much like a craftsman's wood shop, the pair pause to explain their upcoming show.
Q: What site-specific installations will you be creating for the Armoury Gallery?
A: We�re trying to do two smaller scale installations using old roping and a window with a mysterious wind. That�s all we want to say about the work. But we often incorporate dream imagery or dreams we have been having making the themes a little bit dark.
Q: Is this where the title of the show "Night Work" comes from?
A: Not at the beginning. The �Night Work� title came up because we were all teachers in the show, and the art is our night work. But the other theme looks at a mindset when you�re in the middle of the night, when creaks are more important. In the days, sounds and things are [believed to be] more rational, but in the night everything is more intense.
Q: So the role of dreams contributes to your work significantly?
A: Our work is influenced by dreams or the mental processes of dreams, so we�re actually working in our sleep. Because dreams in the night brings out our darker emotions, our fears about what�s happening, when we feel less secure. The dreams become responses to intuitions, subconscious influences giving birth to the pieces.
Q: How do these ideas relate to the space, what you do in the gallery?
A: We create a response to space because our work is site-specific. So we visit the space more than once, and then, drop back to an idea we had in our head, perhaps a dream or another idea we�ve been ruminating about. The small room in this gallery was an intimate space, so it seemed a good place for this small window we had been talking about for a while.
Q: Do your installations relate to one another in any way?
A: They are ideas that keep progressing, the next work feeds off the last or itself. This seems natural and intuitive in how they evolve. There�s an ongoing conversation that we always have⎯so we connect really well and ideas don�t diverge that much from one another⎯ an ongoing story we are coming up within this dream framework that continues the plot of the story [through each installation].
Q: Since you both teach, when do you find time to work on your installations?
A: Well, usually at night. But since Brent is working part time, he can come in a couple of days a week. I teach full time at Cardinal Stritch and MIAD, so I come in during the night and weekends. It�s really hard to be serious about an art career when you�re working full time. You have to be creative about your work, but you also have to be creative about your life.

- Ruth Ben-Ghiat: 100 years ago this summer, World War I began. Its legacies still resonate
- She says its carnage was unprecedented; it changed military, sparked innovations
- She says empires fell, borders shifted, new words emerged, and women's roles changed
- Ben-Ghiat: Begun after an assassination, it would draw in 30 nations, upending the world
World War I began a hundred years ago this summer, but for many of us it might as well be a thousand. We know it, if we know it at all, as a dimly remembered chapter in high school history, or as scenes from old black-and-white movies of soldiers hunkered in trenches doing battle with Germans in pointy helmets. It was all too real for more than 65 million men from some 30 nations who were plunged into carnage the likes of which the world had never before seen.
Every one of those soldiers is dead, and the causes they fought for are lost on many of us. Yet this "war to end all wars" is not a remote event. In fact, World War I changed the world forever, and its effects are all around us.
To begin with, it rewrote history at the grandest level: Empires fell, and new nations--Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Poland among them-- were born in the ashes. Leaders of the still-powerful French and British empires used the conflict to redraw borders in ways that set the stage for future conflicts that stretch on today, in the Middle East, for example.
But there is much more. The first mass conflict among industrialized nations, World War I upended the way war was fought. The weapons it introduced -- submarines, machine guns, poison gas, grenades, tanks -- are all still part of our arsenals. And it was World War I that made airpower and strategic bombing central to the success of any future war. Trench warfare traumatized both soldiers and landscapes, and informed art and literature for years. It would reappear as a battlefield strategy in both the Korean War and in the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s.
At home and on the battlefield, World War I put new objects and words into circulation: "cooties" are something no kid wants to get, but for GIs in the trenches, they were real and they were lice; and sanitary napkins developed from the handy alternative use nurses found for cellulose bandage material produced for the war. The war popularized Kleenex and tea bags and zippers.
In fact, every time you admire an aircraft carrier, eat a meatless sausage, sit under a sun lamp, wear a Burberry trench coat, or set your clock ahead for daylight saving time, you are reaching back to commune with World War I.
The dawn of chemical weapons
World War I's new weapons caused previously unseen and horrific kinds of injuries, and scientists raced to develop protections against them -- or to make even more lethal versions to use against the enemy. Poison gas was first used on a mass scale by the Germans in April 1915 during the second battle of Ypres, and cloths strapped over the mouth and nose were at first the only protection.
Gas masks evolved quickly, though, and by the end of the war even some horses and dogs at the front had their own. The horrors of gas attacks resonate today in the reports of chemical weapons use in Syria, and, earlier, in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and the world still struggles to contain them.
All told, more than 9 million died in the conflict, and 21 million were wounded, psychologically scarring a generation. Soldiers were at pains to explain this new human experience of battle to those back home.
The English poet Siegfried Sassoon had this to say in 1917 about his time at the front: "I'm back from hell/With loathsome thoughts to sell/Secrets of death to tell;/ And horrors from the abyss." Many others had no more words: these victims of "war exhaustion," (the label of shell shock became more common) had trouble speaking: they are the forefathers of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder today.
Likewise the scale and type of physical injuries challenged the ingenuity of prosthesis designers, whose work to replace lost body parts would enable countless soldiers to return to productive civilian life, a process echoed today as soldiers from recent wars recover from the toll of roadside bombs.
World War I also set the stage for future conflicts, by breaking down barriers between military and civilian life. While soldiers fought at the battlefront, civilian women and men built their weapons, distributed food and propaganda, and kept the home front running. Women gained new visibility in society, moving into the jobs vacated by enlisted men.
They drove streetcars, smelted iron, built bombs and then, after a long day at the factory, scrounged for food for their families. Civilians working for the war effort meant that anyone could be a target: German Fokker planes attacked at the front, but Zeppelin airships bombed London and Paris. "Total war" made the home front a dangerous place.
This war left few things unchanged in its path, even in lands that saw no fighting. Although it was mainly fought in Europe, it awakened many to the scope and diversity of the planet. "The entire world is participating in the war!" a French almanac exclaimed in 1917, showing its readers a map of the world divided into enemy, ally, and neutral peoples. Whether as laborers or soldiers, Europeans went to other countries, and millions of Americans, Africans and Asians came to Europe.
'Trapped in a net of woe'
More than two million United States soldiers fought in Europe, and the British and French empires brought over their colonial subjects. "We perish in the desert; you wash yourself and lie in bed," wrote an Indian soldier to his wife in September 1915. "We are trapped in a net of woe; while you go free. Our life is a living death."
How did Europe arrive at this state of catastrophe? The assassination of Austrian-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, on June 28, 1914 by the Bosnian Serb Gavrilo Princip caused an international crisis that led in just over a month to multiple mobilizations.
The Archduke, traveling in an open car, was in Sarajevo to inspect imperial armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which were among the former Ottoman territories annexed by Austria-Hungary in 1908, angering Serbian nationalists such as Princip.
After the assassination, Austria-Hungary gave Serbia an ultimatum, causing Russia to intervene to protect its Serbian client state, and Germany to help its Austrian ally. And so it all began: the military obligations imposed by the system of alliances drew one power after another into combat.
All parties thought the war would be a short one; none imagined the speed with which the conflict would degenerate into a series of local atrocities (the Belgians became the conflict's first group of refugees, as they fled German rape and plunder) and mass slaughter across many fronts.
The habituation to violence and the acceptance of these lethal new inventions is one of World War I's most unfortunate legacies. Chemical weapons provides a case in point. Their effectiveness, as proved by the precedent of World War I, has given them a permanent place in many state arsenals, despite the paper trail of international agreements meant to ban their use. Democracies and dictatorships (France and Italy) both used them in the interwar period as agents of colonial conquest and rule, and Syria is the most recent example of their use.
As we approach this 100-year anniversary, each combatant country is remembering the war in its own way. In America, the echo has been fainter, due as much to the country's late entry into the war (April 1917) as to the prominence of World War II.
"The First World War is not well understood or remembered in the United States, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said at a 2008 Veterans Day ceremony at which the last living American combatant, Frank Buckles, who died in 2011, was present. "Yet few events have so markedly shaped the world we live in."
At war's end in 1918, America emerged from its 18 months of combat with a raft of new legislation that is still in force -- such as the Selective Service Act, which still today allows the President to draft soldiers, and the Espionage Act, used recently to charge Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden -- and with a new status as an international power.
A century of debates over how and whether America should intervene in global crises would lie ahead.

As expected, consumers flocked to big box retailers to scoop up premium discounts on merchandise for holiday presents. Unfortunately, every year bad things tend to happen when you get thousands of people crowded into tiny spaces. Here's a round-up of some of the crimes and general chaotic craziness that occurred:AdvertisementAdvertisementVia the New York Times:In Romeoville, outside of Chicago, Mark Turvey, the police chief, said in a televised appearance published by The Chicago Tribune that during an attempted arrest, a police officer shot a shoplifting suspect who tried to drive away, dragging the officer with him in a Kohl's parking lot on Thanksgiving night. The suspect was not believed to be in serious condition.The NY Times also reported on a stabbing in Carlsbad, Calif. A New Jersey man was doused with pepper spray following an argument at a local Walmart. SponsoredRichard Ramos allegedly became "belligerent" while arguing with a Wal-Mart shopper over a television around 6:30 p.m., and proceeded to attack a Garfield Police officer when the manager called for help, according to Lt. Martin Gray. A shopper in Las Vegas was shot in the leg on Thursday evening. According to police, a man purchased a big-screen television from the Target store near Flamingo Rd. and Maryland Pkwy. While he was trying to unload the TV from his car at a nearby apartment complex, a man approached and confronted him. There was a struggle and the would-be thief's gun went off striking the victim in the leg.Two men in Virginia were arrested after a fight over a parking lot space, which quickly escalated into guns because of course.AdvertisementSheriff Brian Hieatt tells WVVA it happened in the Walmart parking lot. He says two men, 61-year-old Ronnie Sharp of Russell County and 35-year-old Christopher Jackson of Jewell Ridge in Tazewell County, were arguing over a parking space. This escalated into a threat with a firearm, and then Hieatt says Sharp used a knife to cut Jackson in the arm, slicing down to the bone. Sharp is charged with malicious wounding and brandishing a firearm. Police seized a rifle from him.Whatever you decide to do for your holiday shopping, everyone, please remember to be safe.

An investigation of consumer acceptance of M-banking
Drennan, Judy & Wessels, Lisa (2010) An investigation of consumer acceptance of M-banking. International Journal of Bank Marketing, 28(7), pp. 547-568.
This paper aims to identify and test the key motivators and inhibitors for consumer acceptance of mobile phone banking (M-banking), particularly those that affect the consumer's attitude towards, and intention to use, this self-service banking technology.
A web-based survey was undertaken where respondents completed a questionnaire about their perceptions of M-banking's ease of use, usefulness, cost, risk, compatibility with their lifestyle, and their need for interaction with personnel. Correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analysis, with Sobel tests, were used to determine whether these factors influenced consumers' attitude and intention to use M-banking.

Anyone believe in them or have any supernatural experiences they want to share? Sent from my DROID3 using DroidForums
You had to bring this up before my coffee... I have, on several occasions, have even recorded voices (EVP). My parents house is built on land where a revolutionary battle was fought, many died. When I was younger we would go in the woods and find artifacts from that era which we would take home, some of which were taken to the local college and then donated to museums. But one particular case, when I was about 11 or so, I woke up to see just the face of a soldier in front of me, he had his military hat on, was like 2 guns criss/crossed on the hat and his teeth were all yellow and sharp. No it wasn't a nightmare lol I screamed and parents ran in blah blah .. I would love to get some people near me and do a ghost hunt (Philly area) .. I'll get into how I saw the Devil when I was 4 later.. <g>
Well take this for what its worth but I was only 4 but still remember it.. back then, we were told that legend had it that if you lifted certain 'drain' covers in certain areas it would open a portal to hell. So one day some older kid asked if me and some of my friends wanted to see the bones of the devil, for whatever reason we went with the kid, who we knew, and he lifted one of these sewer pipes and a steaming, red hot bubbling liquid was in it up to the top, a skeletal bone reached out of it and I remember slipping trying to run from it.. But I'm 42 now and still remember it, seems like it would have been a lot of work to pull off a prank if that's what someone was thinking of suggesting just to scare 4 little kids.. I 100% believe in ghost and the supernatural, evp and the such... so, that's it. My mom still remembers me running home telling her about it..
Well the reason I ask is because I (and I assume a lot of other people on this forum) am a very logical person, and I can't understand how ghosts or demons could exist. But there is an overwhelming amount of eyewitness accounts, including some from people who I trust who wouldn't lie to me, so it just seems as if they must exist, despite me not finding a way to explain it. Sent from my DROID3 using DroidForums
Well, I guess everyone has their own opinion on the matter. To me it's both personal experiences and and either things I've read or watched from credible sources. Photos are easily faked. An EVP, Electronic Voice Phenomena or EVP:-The capture of spirit voices on magnatic tape as audio recordings or with digital voice recorders! Many times the sound is not heard until it is played back. And even then, sometimes people interpret garbled sounds into something being said. That being said, there really is no proof either way and comes down to personal opinion. You may want to research some web sites, or watch some shows on the subject like T.A.P.S. or Ghost Hunters. Might give ya a little more perspective on the matter than I can. To me it's just a 'fascination' with the subject.
I don't believe in the supernatural but my family does. I think it also has to do with the way your brought up and religion. Imo- you will see, what you want to believe to see. Confusing... I know. But, for example, I have yet to see(I'm 31) all these similar supernatural images that my parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles have seen. And they will all confirm with eachother that they did indeed see strange things. But it was/is fun to hear about during family gatherings. Sent from my Droid¹
My dad is 49, and he has never seen any ghosts either. He's never attempted to use a ouija board or contact spirits though. People that have, including friends of mine, swear that ghosts are real and bad things have happened though. Its confusing what to believe. Sent from my DROID3 using DroidForums
In order to believe you have to experience it in my opinion. I have had numerous accounts with the unknown in the house I currently live in. Hearing voices, getting pushed while I'm trying to sleep, even having the covers tugged on right by my shoulder. I believe in the paranormal because of these experiences and also because there is just so much evidence to support it. Had another time where I saw a demon but I really don't like talking about. Had a hard time sleeping for months and months after that. Sent from my VS910 4G using DroidForums
Yea maybe this halloween we should start a "Post your ghost pictures here" lol, as for some of these so-called para-psychologist, or ghost hunters who see orbs (Little balls foating around the screen) ghosts, I'm like oh come on... its a moth for gods sake, or a piece of dust.. or they record something and its all silent and you hear a slight muffled sound like, chhsh, and they interpret, like "I an clearly, The train, shot" or just other ridiculous stuff. But a lot of it isinteresting too.
I've seen many things in my life that science or logic can't explain. Avoid the supernatural, like, avoid the mafia and the drug cartels: the odds are stacked against you coming out ahead. Sent from my unrooted DroidX using DroidForums app.

What would surprise someone the most about the Appalachian culture?
Well, assuming that they are not Appalachian, it would probably be the fact that we have nothing in common with the stereotypes. I remember teaching a class at the Mountain Retreat near Highlands and encountered several enrollees who were afraid to go "downtown," because they had encountered so many people with gun racks in their trucks as they drove up the mountain. Their assumption was that Appalachians are so prone to violence, they go armed everywhere. They had never encountered people who fish and hunt. That is just one classic example of the bias that I encountered in elder hostel classes. I used to use a book entitled Appalachia: The First and Last Frontier. The first sentence summed it up. It stated that there was no geographic area in the U.S. more misunderstood than Appalachia.
If you had to describe the Appalachian culture in one sentence, what would that be?
People who have retained a profound awareness of their heritage and traditions.
What is the biggest contribution the mountain culture has given to our society?
Probably our ability to co-exist with the natural world.
What do you think is the biggest collective fear of Appalachians?
That they will be erased. The steady encroachment of concrete, industry and technology could plow us all under.
Is there one Appalachian folklore that stands apart from the others?
There is a lot of Appalachian folklore that deals with a single individual who is pitted against daunting odds, but retains his identity: outlaws, musicians and a few "public officials."
Why is knowing local folklore worth while?
Well, it defines who were are and what we value. English folklore is different from Italian folklore, for example, and yet both demonstrate what that culture values.
What is your favorite aspect about teaching?
My favorite aspect of teaching is the "exchange" that flows between teacher and students.

Often during the lazy days of summer, parents of children with ADHD will comment about "the good old days," when moms and dads could happily say to their children, "Go outside and play."
With changes in society, and greater awareness surrounding safety issues, summer frolic has given way to infinite structure. Instead of random playtime, our kids attend camps, swimming lessons, and community center classes. But there are times—especially with younger children—when free play is warranted. And that's an ideal time to round up your kids and head to the playground.
When it comes to unstructured play, I tell parents to consider an environment's safety factors even before considering the social complications that come with ADHD. Generally, playgrounds are safe environments. They sit away from busy streets and offer kids the opportunity to play with others. For kids with ADHD, they're especially beneficial: The swings, monkey bars, and jungle gym help children improve coordination and maximize flexibility. And as we all know, all that activity brings better sleep. An added bonus: Children are in a perfect environment to practice their interpersonal skills—taking turns, problem-solving, thinking for themselves, and respecting other children's space.
Game On! The 10 Best Sports for Kids with ADHD or Learning Disabilities.
But kids with ADHD also face obstacles. Many are socially immature, which, on the playground, translates to easily hurt feelings, tantrums, aggressive behavior, and disobedience. Yet these potential situations needn't keep your child off the swings. Parents I work with recommend these easy playground practices for kids with ADHD.
Go over the rules. Remind your child about what you consider appropriate play. Be specific. "Walk in front of the swings, not in back." Children with ADHD often determine rules by testing things out, so explain the rules up front.
Bring a playmate. Taking a friend who plays well with your child can put a child with ADHD at ease and help him have more fun. Bring another parent along, and you'll have extra supervision.
Be ready to switch gears. For example, if your child is impulsive and impatient, waiting on a crowded line for the slide may trigger a tantrum. Clue in to this before there's a problem, and suggest a detour to the swings.
Prepare for departure. Kids with ADHD often have difficulty transitioning to new tasks, including going home. So before you arrive, tell your child when you expect to leave. A few minutes before leaving time, warn your child that it's almost time to head home.
Offer an incentive. Announce a fun activity that will happen when you get home. One mom, who is great at rounding up her troops, saves a cartoon video for coming-home times only.
Be positive. Say, "Wait your turn," instead of, "Don't push." It's easier for an ADHD child to practice a new, desired behavior than to stop practicing an undesired one.
Talk about tantrums. Warn your child about the consequences of throwing tantrums at the playground. You might say, "If it becomes too hard to stay calm, we'll have to go home."
There's An App for That! 8 Best Social Skills Apps for ADHD Children
Praise good behavior. Tell your child that you were proud to see her wait her turn for the slide. Children benefit from positive comments—not false flattery.
Go at peak times. Consider the time of day when your child is most attentive and in the best mood, and plan your trip for then. At her peak times, she's better able to listen, handle stress, follow directions, and enjoy herself.
Leave while it's still fun. Some parents are so delighted to see their child having fun that they let the fun go on too long. When the child tires—and he will—tantrums kick in.
