Remember a few short months ago, off-season talk focused on what few openings there were on a nearly-set Montreal Canadiens lineup?
That was then.
A 1-2 start and ugly home opener loss is now.
(Photo by Pierre Obendrauf of The Gazette)
Time to panic?
Fire the coach?
Work the phones for trades?
Not hardly.
But points won and lost in October can be very important when April rolls around. And your Montreal Canadiens are looking very much like a team that is going to need every point it can get in April.
The Calgary Flames are not an NHL powerhouse. They missed the playoffs last season (albeit with two points fewer than the 96 that punched the Canadiens' ticket), and will be a battle with the Western Conference's other mediocrities to make postseason play in 2012.
What if it were the Philadelphia Flyers skating around the Canadiens' zone untouched last night?
The Pittsburgh Penguins? Washington Capitals?
The – gulp! – Boston Bruins?
Despite outshooting the visitors 36-21 – plus firing 24 shots that were blocked – the Canadiens looked awful.
The D was a mess and got intermittent support from the forwards. The shot totals are misleading: none of the forward lines had any cohesion, and Jacques Martin was juggling by the end of the second period.
From where I was sitting, the only forwards who looked good were Max Pacioretty and Lars Eller.
Brian Gionta had more penalties than SoG.
Tomas Plekanec burned himself out on the PK … and that problem is a ticking time bomb.
Scott Gomez and David Desharnais? Meh.
Travis Moen did his job. He had six hits against Calgary and was far from the worst skater wearing a red jersey.
But Moen as a Top Six?
C'mon, man.
Newcomers Alexei Emelin and Raphael Diaz weren't the worst defencemen on the ice. That dubious distinction fell on Hal Gill, who was minus-2 in less than 13 minutes of even-strength ice time.
But for a team that managed only 21 shots, Calgary looked like an offensive juggernaut. All four goals were scored by unchecked players with good, clear views of Carey Price.
The goaltender was not available in the Canadiens' dressing room after the game. Price was beaten twice to the short side and did not furnish the all-world performance this team needs to win hockey games.
Let's go back to the summer scenario.
The acquisition of Erik Cole gave the Canadiens a Competitive Top Six. Andrei Kostitsyn, in a contract year, would join two promising youngsters, David Desharnais and Lars Eller, on a third line that offered hope os some scoring. Rugged Ryan White, Travis Moen, Mathieu Darche and maybe Andreas Engqvist, a righthanded defensive centre who kills penalties and wins faceoffs, would vie for fourth-line ice time.
The defensive pairings: Andrei Markov and P.K. Subban. Gill and Josh Gorges, Jaroslav Spacek playing out his contract, probably with Emelin. Yannick Weber (on a one-way contract) and Diaz would be the candidates for seventh D.
The roster looked good, eh?
Not good enough to make the top four of the Eastern Conference, but definitely a team with possibilities in the Parity Division.
Then Markov missed training camp … and his recovery from a second knee surgery is so problematic the report he won't need a third is seen as good news.
Chris Campoli went down. Then Jaroslav Spacek.
Emelin and the undersized Diaz and Weber became regulars.
Ryan White sustained a sport hernia early in camp, missed the preseason and is out indefinitely after surgery.
Mike Cammalleri suffered a fluke skate cut. He's gone for a while, and Moen is on the Tomas Plekanec line with a slow-starting Cole.
And the walking wounded have a day to prepare for Colorado, another hungry team that missed the playoffs last season.
Pierre Ladouceur has a game report card in La Presse. The grades, on a scale of 10, are predictably poor – including 5.6 for P.K. Subban, who played a team-high 23:30 and looked tired in the third period.
The Canadiens outshot Calgary 12-1 over the last 20 minutes. But it was garbage time and everyone knew it – including the thousands of fans who had emptied seats for which they'd paid Premium Game prices.
There wasn't much of a premium last night.
Even the home opener ceremonies came off as lame until the MSO played O Canada.
Maestro Kent Nagano's tempo was out of synch with fans singing the anthem – a disconnect that was a harbinger of things to come.
• • •
Jacques Martin predictably mentioned special teams.
The Canadiens' PK unit gave up two Calgary goals, and the power-play pitched another shutout.
The PP – which desperately misses Markov and could have used Cammalleri – is an anemic 1-for-13 through three games.
Calgary is not a physical team. Once the Canadiens start playing thumpers, the PP better get in gear as a deterrent or they're gonna get killed.
• • •
The Canadiens claimed another sellout last night, extending a streak that began in 2004.
While all seats were sold, there looked to be a lot of empty ones in the Reds.
And by the last 10 minutes of the third period, the habitually rockin'/rollin' Bell Centre looked like an Atlanta Thrashers home game.
• • •
Michael Farber, looking really good after his illness, was back in the pressbox last night.
Farber said Brian Burke was in constant touch with him as be went through treatments and rehab.
Say what you will about Burke, the Leafs' GM is a stand-up guy – for his son and for ailing journalists.
When Farber had heart surgery a few years ago (nicest guy in the world, my man Michael, and it's one thing after another), Burke sent a gift with a card that read "I didn't know journalists had hearts – Brian".
Burke is what my people call a mensch.

Guest Comment from gK_HabsFan:
Alright, so I was at the game, and here are a few thoughts:
1) Wow they sucked! The place was emptying, and it emptied FAST!
2) Yes we got 30 plus shots on net, but most of them were "One and Dones". Absolutely no sustained pressure in the offensive zone!
3) Most of the goals we gave up were due to defensive cramps, and the Flames capitalized.
4) Gomez and Gionta aren't generating anything! NOTHING! A lot of our veterans weren't all that great tonight, but they showed very little IMO. I expect more out of Gionta, and Gomez… well…
5) Subban was struggling out there! He tried to do too much with the puck in the defensive and offensive zone.
6) Can we please stop the PP experiment with Pleks on the point. I prefer him down low, where he excels, as opposed to manning the point. He has no chemistry with Subban, and he doesn't look comfortable there.
7) Cole has to play better.
8 ) Emelin is impressive. Didn't notice him out there all that much during the first two periods, which is kind of a good thing when you're a defensive defenseman. But during the 3rd I saw him hitting more, and being more engaged in the game.
9) Out of all the forwards, Eller was definitely our best! He was winning puck battles, getting a few opportunities and playing well defensively. He began the game on the 4th line, moved up to the 3rd line, and finished on the 1st. I want to see him playing a more prominent role if Gomez and Gionta continue to play poorly.
10) I wouldn't say the Flames outplayed us. They just had their chances and capitalized on them. After the 2nd goal we just couldn't gain any momentum and generate anything offensively

This interview process is teaching Woody about football operations, he said he was learning from each interview - wonder if this is about gathering intel
I think Gamble is the man for this job
Why are people ripping? Here is why:
Here is our list of top candidates as presented by some company we hired.
1 - No
2 - No
3 - No
hmph....better get some more names.
4 - No
5 - No
6 - No
Hmph.....better get some more names.
I think Brian Gaine is going to be the next GM. He's not an established GM so I don't think the Rex thing will be a problem. He's a Parcells disciple, (Parcells recommended Rex Ryan for the HC job in the first place). Woody has a long history with this person.
I think Gaine gets hired.
Tiffany's according to whom? Do you or anyone else here know the difference for candidate A, B or C?
Geez. Rex admitted he interviewed 2 guys for OC-Callahan and Sparano.
How did limiting that search and picking 1 of your 2 interviews play out
And if they were from Tiffany's why are they still on the shelf coming into this yr.

This is very true. We're all just reacting to what we read on the internet. If Tony Pauline speaks highly of Gaine, that's as solid a recommendation as I've heard for any of the other candidates (excepting Gamble). I wonder where Tony would rate Gaine against the other mentioned candidates?
Brian Gaine worked for the Jets from 98 until Parcells went to Dallas so he knows Bradway et al. He's a Parcells' disciple who then followed Bill to the Dolphins in 2008. So he's got familiarity going for him and presumably he's going to get Bill's strong recommendation, which probably would carry a lot of weight with Woody. Throw in that he's not one of the hot candidates and so he's probably more likely to accept the shotgun wedding with Rex, and it all adds up ---- he's the Jets' man.

The slogan of Ken Livingstone's mayoral campaign is: "Do you want a Mayor who makes you laugh or one who cuts your fares?" Naturally, it presupposes an answer. Livingstone is not expecting a furrowed brow to clear and a choirboy voice to pipe up: "Make us laugh."
The purpose of the question is to turn Boris's strength into a weakness. The Mayor has an unusual gift for cheering people up. He looks like a cartoon character and there is a music hall dimension to his photo opportunities. If he is driving a bus, it is funny, if he falls into a river, it is side-splitting.
But it is not haplessness so much as magnified humanity - Boris is not the Tory equivalent of John Prescott. There is a kind of underlying philosophy to his humorousness.
Do you remember the fuss over the Mayor's open jacket at the Beijing Olympics? Yet Boris turned a sartorial gaffe into a stand against state control. He described watching an official point and his initial response. "Was I too fat? Was I insufficiently Olympian?"
Then he became indignant and finally determined. "I was going to follow a policy of openness, transparency and individual freedom."
Boris's characteristic of thinking on his feet could be called unpreparedness or inspiration. It is actually a combination of both. His critics say it is columnist leadership - he makes it up as he goes along. This means he needs good civil servants. These are easier to find if you are a humorous and thus benign boss.
So when the Livingstone campaign says choose between someone who makes you laugh or who cuts your fares, these are falsely blunt options. Boris might make you laugh but would also attempt to persuade you, as he has convinced himself, that investment matters more than short-term relief. It is comedy mixed with deadly seriousness.
Boris is not sugar and sunshine. He is not the Michael McIntyre of politics. He has had a doggedly confrontational career. He took on Brussels as a journalist, turning the consensus of the times on its head. His idea for a new airport is either visionary or bonkers, but it is certainly not placatory.
The subtext in Ken's attack is that Boris is both facile and lacking in empathy.
The same argument is used against comedians who stray into current affairs. It implies that commentators could all be funny if they chose to. The truth is overwhelmingly to the contrary.
Anyone can recite selective facts or express sympathy. To make a spontaneous and original joke is extremely hard.
A final point: life is only bearable if viewed as a comedy. Tragedians are so melodramatic and self- reverential. Ken Livingstone can fight Boris Johnson on many fronts, but he should not make humour one of them, or he will lose.
The nasty side of R Patz
Having made his name as Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe must now spend the years ahead stamping on his childhood image. He could take a lesson from Robert Pattinson, who appears in the astonishing new film Bel Ami, as the most charismatically repellent leading man I can recall. He makes Valmont in Les Liaisons Dangereuses look like a puppy. In another piece of counter-casting, Kristin Scott Thomas plays a lovesick matron, humiliatingly scorned. It is an unsettling premise that a handsome young man can pick off the wives of powerful men. Newspaper proprietors and politicians will keep a much closer eye on their domestic arrangements after seeing this film.
BBC should think PD for the new DG
The pre-emptive cry of sexism over the appointment of the next director-general of the BBC strikes me as odd. The BBC is far more progressive in promoting senior female executives than many other organisations. Two of the top three internal candidates for the job are women. Helen Boaden, director of news, and Caroline Thomson, chief operating officer, are strong enough on merit without having to play a female card.
Someone close to the action tells me that candidates may be put off by the battles ahead. Chris Patten's "warning shots" on pay and quality, suggest a wrestle for power at the top. So we need someone fearless as well as feminine. It is so obvious: PD James for D-G.
Salford is not a cultural capital
In the year of the Olympics and the Cultural Olympiad the BBC has been shuffling off its staff to Salford, only to sneak them back down to London again during the summer. Now there are proposals to pack off the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to Salford as well.
The ideology of provincialism is as mad and inflexible as Marxism. Let the National Theatre, or the Donmar, or the Old Vic or the Bush put on stunning theatre, let the galleries do a drum roll for Leonardo da Vinci, and Hockney, followed by Picasso or Freud. Let the Royal Opera House and Sadler's Wells host world stars. Meanwhile, Jeremy Hunt and his staff can kick their heels in Salford, admiring their "media centre".
Try as hard as you like, Frankfurt cannot be Berlin, Canberra is no Sydney, Delaware is not Manhattan, it is just the way life is. You can praise and pour public money into Salford but NOBODY from London wants to go there.

The gorgeous Kelly & Ryan were married last month at the Duke Mansion and I've been dying to get a preview post in (you know, in between the 27 family sessions I need to blog!!). It was such an AMAZING day all around…never mind the fact that these two lawyers could pass for models any day of the week!! They had such a great bridal party, a beautiful ceremony and an insane dance party after (I may or may not have gotten out on the dance floor myself-just for a SECOND), my job was easy!
Anyway, I'm so excited to share a peek at some of my favorites from their special day. Since I only take a limited amount of weddings per year, I feel like I really get to know and bond with "my couples". Like we should meet up at Starbucks every few months, haha! Ryan & Kelly you guys rock! Thank you again for allowing me to capture your wedding day. XOXOXO
A huge thank you to my second shooter, Kelly Johnson and Hair & Make-up by Candance Monteleone of Colour by Candace. You ladies are the best!

One of the challenges of understanding the history of emancipation during the American Civil War is documenting the perspective of the slaves. The vast majority (probably over 90 percent) were not literate, and even when they were it was extremely rare that their writings survived. Yet the Civil War also brought slaves into contact with government authorities to an unprecedented extent, giving scholars a window into what they were thinking and feeling in the letters, reports, legal proceedings, and other governmental sources. Of course, most such documents come from federal sources and the historical community is indebted to the Freedmen and Southern Society Project at the University of Maryland for bringing them to light.
Yet the words of slaves can come from state sources as well. A good example is the trial transcript of a man named Sam, the slave of John H. Winckler, who lived in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. On May 21, 1861, a local court convicted Sam of the crime to "plot and conspire to rebel and make insurrection." Sam evidently had made some highly intemperate remarks for an African American ever to utter in the presence of white people in the 19th-century South, but with the slave insurrection scare in the South in the weeks after the attack on Fort Sumter, positively inflammatory.
The trial transcript reads:
Sam's remarks reveal once again of the hopes raised among the slaves in the South by Lincoln's inaugural. While most wisely remained silent and prudently did not yet act, the ill-considered words of Sam, like the slaves who attempted to flee to Fort Sumter and Fort Pickens in March 1861, offer a window into what people in the slave community were thinking and feeling around the time of the war's outbreak and their clear desire for freedom.
The words of the slave named Sam were preserved because after his conviction the case came under review by Virginia's governor, John Lechter, who commuted the slave's sentence from being sold south to being sent to do military labor for the Confederacy. Consequently, the trial records can be found in Governor Lechter's papers. Civil War Emancipation plans to feature sources that document the words of the slaves whenever possible over the course of the sesquicentennial, as their thoughts and feelings are essential in understanding this momentous event in American History.

Dr. Alexandre DaSilva is an Assistant Professor at the Biologic & Materials Sciences Department at the University of Michigan Dental School. He has received his Doctorate in Medical Science (DMSc) degree in Oral Biology with clinical training in trigeminal pain at Harvard University. His thesis subject was on somatotopic (fMRI) activation in the human trigeminal pain pathway. This training was followed by a post-doctoral fellowship on migraine neuroimaging at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, to investigate subcortical and cortical neuroplasticity in migraine patients. He was also an Instructor in the Psychiatric Department at Harvard University/McLean Hospital, as well as, an Assistant Clinical Investigator at the Forsyth Institute in Boston. During his training, he collaborated with his colleagues on innovative neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation projects for chronic TMJD, trigeminal neuropathic pain and migraine.
He is currently the Director of H.O.P.E. (Headache & Orofacial Pain Effort), which is a multidisciplinary collaborative effort to investigate the brain as a research and therapeutic target for chronic trigeminal pain disorders. The fact that many therapeutic modalities for chronic pain, which focus on peripheral mechanisms, do not provide relief for treatment-resistant patients raises the possibility that the cause for the chronicity of these debilitating disorders may lie in the brain itself. One hypothesis is that functional and structural dysfunction of specific cortical areas (e.g. SI, DLPFC), even at a molecular level (e.g. opioidergic and gabanergic mechanisms), may be responsible for the persistence and intensification of the pain suffering. Together with collaborators from the University of Michigan and other academic institutions, we use state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, PET, MRS, DTI, and MRI-based morphometry) to study neuroplasticity, and to investigate novel therapeutic approaches and mechanisms in chronic trigeminal pain disorders, including TMD the main focus.

Pearl Gillie Gash (1883-1971) and Pink Margaret Gash (1876-1968) were sisters.
Pearl Gillie Gash (1883-1971) and Pink Margaret Gash (1876-1968) were sisters.
The Gash sisters were descendants of a pioneer family. Mr. J. Lee Gash gave the site for the railroad station, and Margaret I. Gash, his wife, named the station and post office after a river in northern Georgia — Etowah.
The Gash home once stood on Old U.S. 64 behind what is now a shopping center.
Pink Gash, older than Pearl, attended the former Judson Female College.
She was graduated from the Georgia and Alabama Business College of Macon, Ga. She taught school for a short time before she became a traveling saleswoman for the National Sales and Dry Goods Co. of New York City for 34 years.
She was highly regarded as a seamstress, and there are those who still remember visits to the Gash home for fittings. She was an entrepreneur.
She was 92 years old when she died. She was a member of the First Methodist Church of Hendersonville for 73 years.
Pearl served as postmaster and agent for the Southern Railway Express Co. for many years. Her father, Joseph Leander (Lee) Gash, had served as agent from the time the Transylvania division was placed in operation in 1895. Pearl was appointed postmaster on April 24, 1914.
Pearl and Pink are buried next to each other in the Mills River United Methodist Church cemetery. Close by are the graves of their parents.
In 1916, their father died at the age of 82. There are few who would attempt to dispute the claim that their father, Joseph Leander Gash, is the "Father of Etowah." His 160 acres of land became the heart of a thriving community.
The personal papers of Pearl Gash provide valuable documentation to the history of the area. A history of the Etowah post office, written in her own hand writing, is included in the papers.
Before the Hendersonville and Brevard Railroad was built in 1895, the post office for what is now Etowah was in the home of Rebecca Greer. The office was named Money.
Mr. Joshua Laughter, according to written documents, was to be the new postmaster. "My brother (James Leander Gash) went up to the little office Money and loaded it up on two-horse wagon and moved it to Mr. Laughter's store," Pearl Gash wrote.
When the office was later moved to the railroad station, which was also called Money, the officials of the railroad company did not like the name and were anxious to change it.
"The president of the RR Co., Mr. J.H. Warren asked my mother Mrs. Margaret I. Gash to suggest a name. She gladly did," Pearl Gash wrote.
"I remember her saying to him, 'Just call it Etowah.' He was pleased with the name she suggested.
"My mother's birthplace is Adairsville, Georgia. She suggested the name Etowah because it was the name of a very beautiful river near her Adairsville home. Etowah is an Indian name, meaning High Tower."
The name was changed from Money to Etowah.
Joseph Leander Gash was never postmaster here, but had been appointed postmaster in Adairsville, Georgia — Oct. 18,1865. He was appointed the first station agent here in 1895. He served for 20 years until his death on June 1, 1916.
"I succeeded him as agent and served until August 23, 1948," Pearl Gash wrote. "I retired from the Railroad and then from the Post Office. I kept the Post Office in my home ten years, then moved it to the RR office at the depot. I was appointed Postmaster here April 24, 1914. I took charge of the office on May 5, 1914. I retired December 31, 1948 — succeeding Mrs. Annie Orr. I was succeeded by Mrs. Addie Morgan.
"My father and mother donated the land for the station to the Hendersonville and Brevard R.R. Company in 1895."
The Hendersonville Graded Schools were organized in 1901. By the efforts of the school board and the will of the citizens, the Judson College building was purchased. At that time, there were eight grades free. One dollar a subject was charged for each study beyond eighth grade. In 1901, there were only 24 single desks, and those were for the first grade.
In 1904, the following were graduated — from Hendersonville: Cling Aiken, Gussie Dotson, Sadie Kelly, Lena Lewis, Katherine Pender, Mattie Smathers and Eva Smith; from Flat Rock: Myrtle Hart; from Savannah, Ga.: Grace Schaeffer; and from Etowah: Pearl Gash. It was the first graduating class of Hendersonville High School.
Students were awarded prizes for recitations on Hendersonville or the world beyond Hendersonville.
Pearl Gash, when asked to prophesy what Hendersonville would be like in 1910, wrote: "Hendersonville can now boast of her electric lights and it will not be a great while until almost all the houses of this town will be lighted with electricity. Just think of the wonderful improvements there will be in six years." (First street lights came to Hendersonville in 1900.)
"In 1910, within old Judson's classic walls, many boys and girls, young men and young women will be building noble character, and receiving instruction to qualify them for life's work and responsibilities."
Judson College once stood on the corner of Third Avenue West (College Street) and Fleming in Hendersonville.

Important Announcement
Traditionally, Halloween night is the perfect time for monsters to run wild and free. However, the Lucas Oil i-10 Speedway has decided that they want to unleash their monsters this Saturday night, November 9th. Round three of the speedway's 2013-2014 Winter Blast Racing Series, presented by Next Era Energy Resources, will be a very special evening titled: The Monster Truck Night Of Fire And Thrills. This special evening will feature high powered monster trucks as well as a flame throwing fire truck that has to be seen to be believed. Also thrilling the fans will be stock car racing action from the Gene Price Motorsports Late Model Series and the NAPA Auto Parts Factory Stocks.
The spectator gates will open at 5pm this Saturday with the thrilling action getting underway at 7pm. This special evening is being sponsored by Valley Beverage, the local distributor of Budweiser products. The Lucas Oil i-10 Speedway is located at the Colorado River Fairgrounds in Blythe-California.
The monster trucks will be grabbing some major air while performing a freestyle exhibition. These high powered behemoths will be sporting intimidating names, fitting to their size and power, such as Reaper's Revenge, Lucas Oil Shocker, Iron Outlaw and the world champion truck known as the Bounty Hunter.
To get an idea of just how big and powerful these monster trucks are, the Lucas Oil Shocker has the body style of a 2006 Chevrolet Colorado that weighs 10,500 pounds and is powered by an engine that produces 1,200 plus horsepower. The truck measures ten feet high, 12 feet wide and 20 feet long.
Unlike its fire truck counterparts, the Raging Inferno lights fires instead of putting them out. Employing a rock concert type fire and smoke show, with a high powered jet engine, this fire truck is capable of shooting massive flames up to 75 feet complete with ground pounding burner pops. The Raging Inferno is going to demonstrate its fire power Saturday night with a melt down show on a van. As powerful as this machine is, it's also gentle enough to take your kids out for a fun ride. Raging Inferno rides for kids will be offered for only $5 before the show, during the show's intermission and after the show has concluded.
There's also going to be plenty of stock car action on the Lucas Oil i-10 Speedway's quarter mile paved oval. The Gene Price Motorsports Late Model Series will be making their Winter Blast season debut this Saturday night and will treat the fans to a 50 lap main event. Sponsored by the famed race car fabrication shop, and high performance parts distributor located in Parker-Arizona, this series is a special two track championship points series shared with the Havasu 95 Speedway located, just down the highway from Blythe, in Lake Havasu City-Arizona.
Blythe driver Mike Sutterfield has literally owned the series championship over the past three years and is the current champion. However, it's highly expected there will be a list of late model veteran drivers who will be on hand to end Sutterfield's domination. That includes names like Ron Daniel, Elias Garland, Jim Putnam and Taylor Cuzick just to name a few.
The fan favorite, racing is rubbing, NAPA Auto Parts Factory Stocks will be making their third appearance of the winter racing season Saturday night. Early season numbers indicates that this championship could go down to the final lap of the final race as it has done in past seasons. Going into Saturday night, there are only ten points separating the top three drivers. Former series champion John Lowrence leads the standings with 58 points after winning the series' last race back on October 26th. Current division champ Ethan Miller, who won the season opener back on September 28th, is ranked second in the standings only four points away from the leader. Series veteran Joe Van Dyke is third and only ten points away from the top.
General admission tickets for this special edition of Valley Beverage-Budweiser raceday are only $15 and $12 for seniors age 55 plus, military personnel and the handicapped. Kid's tickets, age five to 17, are $10 while kids under five are admitted free when accompanied by a paid adult. The speedway will also be offering a budget friendly family package for $40 which admits two adults and two kids age 17 and under.
For out of town race teams and fans, America's Best Value Inn is the official motel of the Lucas Oil i-10 Speedway and is located at 850 West Hobsonway in downtown Blythe. They offer beautiful and spacious rooms at very affordable rates. Call 760 922 5145 for reservations which can also be made on line.

Exactly my thought lindrone. I bought the XP-7 to be a desktop amp that COULD travel form time to time. But it is a bit much for me to schlep it on a plane 4-5 times per month. I love the form factor of the SuperMini but am left wanting a little more out of its sound quality. Enter the SuperDual. I really hope it pairs well with both the e5s and ER-4Ps.

Course reviews
+0 votes C. C. › March 11, 2017
This course is a lot of fun with a good mix of looks! I'll play this course anytime I'm in the area!
+0 votes marvin wash › May 30, 2014
I like the layout of the course. Lots of shade, which is good since it was 104 when I was there, during the recent fire madness. I look forward to playing it again someday. No really long holes, and even the tree lined holes have ample open space to navigate through. Maybe it was the fires that kept players away, but it was sparsely populated that day, and it was easy cruising through the course.
+3 votes Jeremy Moran › January 3, 2014
Fun layout with great tee-signs, rubber tee-pads, and changing pin locations. Average difficulty with some trees, some fields, and a fair amount of mandos and OBs to keep things interesting. Locals weren't too friendly on the crowded course but the dudes in the on-site pro shop (!) we're stellar and informative about this course and others in the area. Great 18 holes for a visitor.
+0 votes xaeLen n › October 28, 2012
hole 2 was in new long position. hole 4 was also long. hole 11 was in a new deep left position along the fence by the bridge. 14 was deep left.
all in all, not a short course.

This was a great course with awesome staff. Perfect for glow. Thanks Vince!

After playing several courses in Arizona and New Mexico on 2 recent road trips, I sure wish my home course (Kit Carson) had concrete T-boxes. Brent Baca Memorial in NM has the best. However, I still love this course...lefts and rights, through the trees...just play when the rubber pads are not wet!
+0 votes D Fresh › June 21, 2011
Course closes holes sometimes for park events. Good challenging for novice guys like my self. first 3 holes require bug spray and dont expect to retrieve disc's as the brush is super thick and protected by EPA.
+0 votes Joshua "tortuga" Lyman › January 16, 2011
real nice challenging course the layout provides for advanced players to play amongst beginners i wish there was a 14th hole hopefully soon, maybe after 16 there is some room for a a technical shot like a mando dogleg or pyramid type hole.

text: Sony NW-E005 Reviewed (Verdict: Good, But SonicStage Still Sucks)Jason Chen8/01/06 6:13pmFiled to: Portable MediaNW-E005SonyWalkman2EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkGIF The Sony NW-E005 Walkman has the slick black Sony design that people seem to love, bundled with a price that's very un-Sony like. The 2GB version is $130 while the 1GB is $100 and 512MB is $70. Not cheap for a flash-based MP3 player, but not expensive either.AdvertisementThe simple OLED display gives you the bare minimum of information, while the FM radio lets you listen to something other than your 2GB worth of tunes once in a while. The 28 hours of playback is hefty, and the MP3, ATRAC3 and unprotected WMA/AAC playback is pretty standard. The only downside is the Sony SonicStage software you'll have to use to handle your tunes. Their new version improves things, but it's still no iTunes in terms of usability. Sony NW-E005 (2GB, black) [CNET]

@Meyer/tux: Easier said than done, but: we need images working. Is it possible to make a plan to investigate required fixes and get them working ? thanks Some pages have images that display. Other pages have links to images that don't display. The images are present. If you look in Special Pages and look at Images , my memory for the exact page name fails me, you can access them. However the problem of displaying them on their pages seems to be related to the error message about not being able to create thumbnails. This appears to be something to do with permissions on creating directories. There seem to be some limitations on size for some working directories and on permissions for functions to work on some directories. I suppose this is a legacy of the move from one provider to the other? Ping dz! Ping dz! Ping dz! I suppose this could be related to the apparent disappearance of the download files/facility from the ZUG page/portal? I'm sure that the problem about uploading images/files etc are also related to this. I will look, but my time seems a bit limited at the moment... I think a post or two containing the error messages when we try to access images might be helpful? Cheers |

Let's Put Our Soup Kitchens Out of Business (December 3, 2015)
The society we seek is not one with beautiful soup kitchens and plentifully-stocked food pantries. Charity meets immediate needs but it also erodes self-respect, breaks down human dignity, and corrodes the spirit. The good society is one where no one needs to go to a soup kitchen. Let's "do justice" and put the soup kitchens, food pantries, clothes closets, and homeless shelters out of business.
Congress Must Oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (October 15, 2015)
The Trans-Pacific Partnership, the huge "free-trade" agreement being negotiated has been finalized. On October 5, 2015, negotiators from 12 countries, including the United States, announced they had reached agreement on a final text of the trade agreement. The text has not yet been released but leaked documents and statements made by negotiators have given us insights into the treaty's provisions. Congress must oppose this agreement.
Join the Struggle for Good Government (August 5, 2015)
We cannot create the society we want – one where everyone is thriving – unless we have a well-functioning, responsive, and responsible government, a government of, for, and by the people. But money pervades government processes and has a corrupting influencing. There is one – and only one – thing more powerful than organized money: organized people. So get involved, join the struggle.
What is Fair Trade (May 12, 2015)
Small farmers produce 70% of the world's coffee and significant amounts of other food products. Worldwide, over 20 million small farm households, more than 125 million people, depend on agriculture exports for their livelihoods. Fair Trade contributes to sustainable development and improves the lives of small farmers in the global South. Learn more.
Mass Incarceration, Poverty, and Jobs (May 11, 2015)
This new webpage will cover a number of issues related to mass incarceration.
Poverty and Mass Incarceration (April 17, 2015)
There are many links tying poverty to mass incarceration. To break these connections, here are two things we can do. First, let's eliminate poverty. Although this won't happen soon, we need to keep this option before us. The reason poverty exists is not economic; we have sufficient resources to eliminate it. People are poor because we fail to enact the public policies that would end poverty. Second, we can "ban the box." A fairly routine question on many job application forms requires applicants to check a box indicating whether they have a history of arrest or conviction. The question is illegal if it is used to screen out everyone with a record but it is still widely included on job application forms. Work to "ban the box."
Greasing the Skids to Deeper Economic Distress via Fast Track Legislation (February 19, 2015)
Before Congress considers new trade agreements (and two are currently in the works) they will first seek to pass "Fast Track" legislation to markedly curtail the usual oversight process and ease passage of the FTAs. Previous similar trade agreements have harmed, not promoted, the common good. Congress must thoroughly and carefully evaluate these agreements. Congress must not pass Fast Track.
Inequality -- It doesn't have to be this way (November, 2014)
Growing inequality is not the inevitable consequence of globalization, technological change, an aging population, or anything else. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle is disappearing as a direct result of policy decisions made by policymakers in Washington, DC, and state legislatures.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a Trade Agreement that is Destructive of God's People and Planet is an important new resource from JWM.The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a "free trade" agreement currently being negotiated among the U.S. and 11 other countries. But the world needs fair trade, not "free trade."

Tax Day, April 15: a time to celebrate, lament, and (most of all) make a commitment to tax justice. Tax Day finds many of us with conflicted feelings about paying our taxes, with reasons to celebrate and to lament. May it also be a day when we make a commitment to work for tax fairness: everyone paying their fair share for programs and services that serve the common good and create a world where all God's people and creation live in the fullness of life.

See the new Labor Sunday resources from JWM.
Already in July, it seems likely that Congress will once again be gridlocked over the federal budget. The House of Representatives is proposing more, large and damaging budget cuts which the Senate is unlikely to approve. The end of the fiscal year, September 30, is rapidly approaching.

Unemployment in the United States continues to be tragically and unacceptably high. But the closely-watched and widely-cited monthly unemployment rate tells only part of the story; the number of people without jobs is actually much higher than indicated in that count.

The fair trade movement is in crisis. The fundamental purpose of fair trade – to support small farmers in ways that are good for them, their communities, the environment, and consumers – is being challenged. One part of the fair trade movement is supporting weaker, broader standards that would allow even plantation-growth coffee to be certified as fair trade. The other part of the movement wants to maintain standards that will preserve the movement's original purpose of helping small farmers. Read more about the crisis and how you can support authentic fair trade.
Unemployment. We are told the economy is recovering. Nonetheless there are still millions of people who are jobless or working part time when they want and need full-time hours.

European Commission - Press release Winners of 2011 EU Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards honoured Brussels/ Amsterdam, 10 June 2011 - The 27 winners of the 2011 European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards will be honoured this evening during a ceremony at Amsterdam's historic concert hall, the 'Concertgebouw'. The awards will be presented by Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, and Plácido Domingo, the world-renowned tenor and president of Europa Nostra. Six of the 27 winners will be named tonight as 'Grand Prix' laureates in recognition of their outstanding heritage achievements. The ceremony will be attended by an audience of some 1500 people including H.R.H. Princess Margriet of The Netherlands. "All the winners represent extraordinary accomplishments in cultural heritage and will serve as inspiration to professionals and volunteers, without whom in many cases our heritage would be at risk. Cultural heritage is an essential part of Europe's cultural diversity and shared history; it brings together our past, present and future. It helps to regenerate neighbourhoods and brings people from different backgrounds together. It has also helped to make Europe the world's top tourist destination and contributes significantly to the Union's economy," said Commissioner Vassiliou. "These exemplary achievements are sending a strong message to everyone in Europe. The value of cultural heritage is essential for Europe - for the economy and for our social cohesion – but above all for our sense of belonging and our sense of pride and happiness," added Europa Nostra's President, Plácido Domingo. The six Grand Prix winners are:
Jury's comments on the six Grand Prix projects: Category 1 — Conservation Station Antwerpen Centraal (Antwerp Central Station), Antwerp, Belgium This project's award recognises the exceptional achievement of transforming a terminal station – typical for 19th century railway architecture – into a through station – a necessity in the 21st century – while restoring the monumental railway station building to its former glory. The positive interaction of the refurbished station with its surrounding urban landscape proves that the preservation of the existing station was the only option. Preindustrial buildings in Ademuz / Sesga, Ademuz, Valencia, Spain The conserved vernacular structures including their contents are outstanding because they beautifully recall the former local way of life and reflect the collective memories and activities of this rural area in their true context and landscape. Their careful restoration and enhancement deserves to be an inspiration for similar rural areas throughout Europe. The Hackfall woodland garden, Grewelthorpe, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom Hackfall has enjoyed a renaissance due to its restoration undertaken by a combination of professional experts and enthusiastic volunteers, which have faithfully followed the imaginative vision of its 17th century founder. The Jury was captivated by the authenticity of the restoration of the ruined buildings, highlighting the garden's poetic communion with nature. Category 2 – Research Architectural heritage of the buffer zone in the walled city of Nicosia, Cyprus This project was unanimously acclaimed by the jury as a fine and comprehensive study of all the buildings within the UN protected buffer zone of Nicosia, originally the heart of this walled city. Many problems had to be overcome in carrying out the work, which involved scientists and other workers from both the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. The project is particularly important because of its potential to help alleviate the difficulties between the two sides, and is an excellent example of a conservation project in a sensitive area of Europe. Category 3 — Dedicated service Szymon Modrzejewski, Uście Gorlickie, Poland For more than 23 years, Simon Modrzejewski has recognised that the tombs and cemeteries of those who once lived in the regions of Bieszcady and Beskid Niski in Southeast Poland make up a significant part of their regional cultural heritage, and that their restoration enables those who live there today to create a human connection with the heritage of others and of the past. He has selflessly given his own time and skill, and in doing so, has engaged local people and young people in caring for this heritage, which is not only 'theirs' but is important to all of us. Category 4 — Education, training and awareness-raising Weald & Downland open air museum, Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom The Jury has granted this award for the exemplary initiative and long standing commitment of the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum for creating a centre for training in historic building conservation. The centre is creating the next generation of skilled personnel for historic building conservation, while involving the wider public and a large number of volunteers through an inspirational learning environment. Background H.R.H. Princess Margriet will host a reception for the winners at the Royal Palace before the ceremony starts. Other VIP guests at the ceremony in the Concertgebouw will include Géza Szőcs, Hungarian State Secretary for Culture. Musicians from the European Opera Centre and the European Union Youth Orchestra will close the event with a rare performance of Franz Liszt's only opera, Don Sanche. The winners (including the 6 Grand Prix laureates) were selected from nearly 140 submitted projects in 31 countries. The final choice was made by juries composed of independent experts from across Europe. See IP/11/443. Each of the winners receives a plaque or a trophy; the six 'Grand Prix' winners also receive €10,000 each. Cultural heritage brings a significant – and often underrated – contribution to growth and job creation. The sector represents an important part of the cultural and creative industries, which provide jobs for 8.5 million people in the EU and contribute 4.5% to Europe's GDP. Spending on conservation of cultural heritage by public and private bodies is worth an estimated €5 billion a year. Figures published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) show that 40% of worldwide international tourism has a cultural dimension. Cultural heritage is also a key resource for sustainable development and social cohesion. The awards have been supported by the Culture Programme of the European Union since 2002. The Culture Programme has invested €26 million in co-financing heritage projects since 2007. Other EU-funded programmes also provide support in this area: the European Regional Development Fund allocates €3 billion for the protection and preservation of cultural heritage, €2.2 billion for the development of cultural infrastructure and €775 million to support cultural services for 2007-2013; a further €89 million has been made available through EU Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development since 1998. Note to editors: Europa Nostra is the voice of cultural heritage of Europe. It brings together and represents 250 non-governmental organisations, 150 associate organisations and 1500 individual members from more than 50 countries that are committed to safeguarding Europe's cultural and natural heritage. It provides a network for dialogue, celebrates the best heritage achievements, campaigns against threats to vulnerable heritage buildings, sites and landscapes and campaigns for sustainable policies and high quality standards in heritage. Plácido Domingo is the president of Europa Nostra. The awards ceremony in Amsterdam forms part of Europa Nostra's annual European Heritage Congress. The awards also benefits from the support of the Association of Charity Lotteries in the European Union. The deadline to apply for the next awards is 1 October 2011. The awards ceremony will be held in Lisbon in June 2012.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Saltwater Fish
- - New black clowns
New black clowns Hey all, I have a question need an opinion. I bought 2 black clowns on Friday (they are a tank raised pair, male and female already morphed). I have an agressive green chromii who was being very defensive and tried to chase the clowns, but the clowns just kind of chased my chromii away. They didn't really seem stressed or bothered by the chromi. So that was a good sign and I wasn't too concerned. Then Sat i woke up and all the fish seemed to be doing fine. Saturday night the female couldn't seem to stop swimming fast around the tank ,while the male tried to keep but had a hard time. I know it was a sign of stress possibly so i just kept my eye on her. Then yesterday (sunday) all fish were doing fine again, Chromi still trying to establish terroties and vise versa. My new clowns just kind of stayed in one spot and didn't swim quite as much as they started. I so i fed them breakfast, which was some frozen food mix chromi went nuts and ate but i couldn't tell if the clowns were actually eating. They could smell the food and seemed interested but no evident signs they were actually eating because i didn't seem them going after big pieces. I did see the male eat sat night so the female is who i'm mostly worried about. I fed them at dinner again, same thing they didn't really seem to want to eat but was interested in the food. So i'm not sure if im feeding them the right stuff? or if the female is sick? or if they're still getting adjusted. My tank is a 29 gal. live rock, 3 snails, 3 emerald crabs, one un id crab ( i think its an emerald as well), a chocolate chip starfish, ph about 8.0 ( little low i know), nitrite at 40 (high i know as well), nitrate = 0, salinity 1.020. bio wheel filter. If any ideas or comments let me know. Thanks |
hopefully others more knowledgeable than me will chime in with more specifics regarding the cause of the clownfishs' behavior, but as far as the water parameters, definitely try and get the nitrates down, try to keep the pH up closer to 8.2 or 8.4, and also raise the salinity to 1.024-1.025. I suppose its possible that the water itself is causing the odd behavior, but even if its not, you should still try to adjust the parameters :) I've certainly heard of new fish refusing to eat in captivity, and having to be 'enticed,' but not for tank-bred fish. So I doubt that is the issue. Sorry I couldn't be of more help :( |
yeah i talked to the guys at the fish store.Totally trust them and said that these guys are pretty hardy and aren't too picky with my levels. I also forgot to add that I haven't checked since last Sunday so i need to double check my pH again. Thanks for trying. |
Wait, Nitrite is at 40? Or do you mean nitrate? Do you have the BIO-Wheel in the filter, or is it removed? That is most likely the problem to your 'trates. A bio-wheel does not help in saltwater tanks. How long has this been set-up and what system are you running? |
actually Cody is right... I totally missed that and assumed it was nitrites 0, nitrates 40. Nitrites should return to 0 after the tank has cycled, and stay at zero. How long has your tank been set up? |
definetly want to bring your nitrites down asap, 25% water change and some buffer should do it, keep us updated. also, what is your temp. at? |
update Nitrates are at 40 sorry which ever is suppose to be at about 20 is at 40. I get them mixed up. I've had the tank set up since november. Now my female looks like she has cloudy eye and is staying lower in the tank, what can i do to help her get destressed or healthy. |
Re: update Quote:
Bad news Well i have some sad news.. my female clown has died. and within in a 1 1/2 hour span. My boyfriend came home and found my choclate chip starfish actually covering her so im not sure when she died and if the starfish helped with it..im removing my starfish cuz he's done some "fishy" things other times. Im going to take my biowheel out and my nitrates do seem to be slowly going back down to 20 after i took some sand out. my boss at work said that messing with the sand will create nitrates too. Is this true?? So now my nxt step is to possibly see if i can get 1 new clown before my male becomes too use to being the only one. What do ppl think of that? p.s this is a fish only tank |

Jada Pinkett Smith has famously played coy, refusing to refute the long-running rumor that she and husband Will Smith have an open marriage. Her stance has typically been one of "believe whatever you want to believe."
But Smith added fuel to the fire when she said recently of the rumors, "I've always told Will, you can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be OK." Now she takes to Facebook to revise her statement. Jada writes:
"Let me first say this, there are far more important things to talk about in regards to what is happening in the world than whether I have an open marriage or not. I am addressing this issue because a very important subject has been born from discussions about my statement that may be worthy of addressing.
The statement I made in regard to, "Will can do whatever he wants," has illuminated the need to discuss the relationship between trust and love and how they co-exist …
Here is how I will change my statement…Will and I BOTH can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do so. This does NOT mean we have an open relationship…this means we have a GROWN one."
So, what do you think? Is this finally a formal denial from Jada?

"Six years ago we didn't see heroin cases, just didn't see it," says Nicholas Klinefeldt, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa. "Now we have heroin cases; we have heroin overdose deaths. It's here, and I think the problem is going to get worse before it gets better." Pain Management Training for Iowa Doctors Questioned By Joyce Russell • Nov 16, 2015 Be.Futureproof/flickr A psychiatrist at Veterans Hospital in Iowa City says more training in pain management may be needed for doctors getting licensed to practice in Iowa. At a drug abuse symposium in Iowa City last week, Dr. Anthony Miller discussed the overprescribing of pain medicine that's become common in American medicine since the 1990's.

Iowa Parents "Mortified" by Heroin Epidemic By Joyce Russell • Nov 13, 2015 Joyce Russell/IPR Police, prosecutors, and medical professionals gathered in Iowa City yesterday to address the growing problem of heroin addiction in Iowa. They heard how overuse of prescription painkillers leads addicts to opt for heroin which is cheaper and easier to get. Heroin now rivals the methamphetamine epidemic.

Cedar Rapids Heroin Overdoses "Incredible" By Joyce Russell • Oct 22, 2015 Christopher Hawkins/flickr A federal prosecutor for Iowa's Northern Judicial District briefed an advisory group in Des Moines today on the growing problem of heroin addiction, especially in eastern Iowa.

E-Cigarettes: Regulating a Changing Smoking Culture By Clay Masters • Feb 13, 2014 Clay Masters / IPR The Iowa House voted to ban the sale of so-called e-cigarettes to minors this week.

Iowa Public Radio's Clay Masters talks to the sponsor, Rep. Tyler Olson (D - Cedar Rapids) of the amendment and takes a trip to an e-cigarette shop in northwest Des Moines. Iowa Smoking Rate Declines, but E-Cigarettes Worry Health Officials By Ben Kieffer & Emily Woodbury • Jan 16, 2014 Gonzalo Merat In the 50 years since the U.S. government released its first report on the hazards of cigarettes, smoking rates have dropped by half.

Ben Kieffer discusses the future of gambling in Iowa and how the evolving regulation of online gaming may help or hinder the state's gaming industry.

Finances are often one of the main reasons that school districts look into consolidating with other districts.
But thats not the case with the Brownstown and St. Elmo school districts, according to Brownstown Superintendent of Schools Doug Slover.
Both districts are financially solvent, so finances dont have to be the driving force with this, Slover said.
The big thing is the curriculum opportunities that might be available to our students, he said.

The 48-year-old suggests the Blues have had the most success under Italians, such as Carlo Ancelotti and Claudio Ranieri, but supports the Spaniard's decision to criticise fans
The ex-striker played for the Blues from 1996, winning the FA Cup in his first season, before being made player-manager in 1998 after Ruud Guillit's sacking.
And the 48-year-old, who led the club to the League Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup and Super Cup in his first two years, is now eyeing a return to west London - where he thinks Italians do the best job.
"I hope it's going to be an Italian," Vialli told Sky Sports News when asked who should take over.
8/1 | Fabio Capello is 8/1 to be the Chelsea manager for the first league game of next season with Paddy Power |
Vialli was sacked five games into the 2000-01 league season after an indifferent start, while he had also reportedly fallen out with a number of key players, and has since had just one unsuccessful spell in charge of Watford in 2002.
However he has been put on alert due to the current situation with interim boss Benitez, who he indicated was right to criticise fans' booing, and believes the former Liverpool man cannot possibly stay on for another season.
The ex-striker added: "I think Rafael Benitez has finally realised it would be impossible to change the chairman's mind about giving him another season.
"I think he's also realised that there's no doubt the fans are not going to support him.
"I think he's done the right thing which is to ask the fans to forget about not liking the manager but to keep supporting the side and the players because the players need support.
"There's no doubt they're suffering a little bit from this situation."

A Dhaka court today ordered a judicial enquiry into a custodial death of a Bihari community member against eight persons, including the then Sub-Inspector Jahidur Rahman Khan and the Officer-in-Charge of Pallabi Police Station.
After taking cognizance of the murder charge filed by victim Istiaq Ahmed Johnny's brother Imtiaz Hossain, Judge Jahurul Haque of the metropolitan session judges' court passed the order.
The other accused are: OC Ziaur Rahman, sub-inspectors: Abdul Baten, Rashed, Shovon Kumar Saha, constable Nazrul, and sources: Suman and Zahidul of the police station.
Imtiaz filed the case with the court against them under the Torture and Custodial Death (Control) Act 2013.
On February 8, SI Jahidur and the others nabbed Johnny when he went to attend a wedding ceremony in the Irani Camp of capital's Mirpur. And later, he was allegedly tortured to death.
Johnny, 28, was a resident of Talab camp, a settlement for the Bihari community.

text: International. EAB/HVT/AT/323 17th August, 1938. Mr. G. Stolz, International Federation of Trade Unions, 9 Avenue D'Orsay, Paris, 7. Dear Comrade Stolz, HOMES FOR SPANISH ORPHANS Further to our telephone conversations with you in regard to the possibility of a meeting between representatives of the Mineworkers' Federation and Comrade Schevenels on the question of homes for Spanish orphans, I have now received a letter from the Mineworkers' Federation in which they state that they desire immediate arrangements to be put in hand for the opening of two homes in Spain, each to accommodate 100 children. They would leave the matter over until they had an opportunity of meeting Comrade Schevenels at Blackpool, but they are anxious to be in a position to report to our Congress that the scheme has already been launched and that progress has been made with this first instalment. Consequently, I would be very glad if you would take the earliest possible opportunity of getting into direct contact with Santiago, and such other channels as you may feel necessary, with a view to the establishment of the two homes in question. The Mineworkers' Federation state that the capital sum for endowment will be discussed with Comrade Schevenels at Blackpool, but they will, of course, be prepared to give an immediate guarantee in respect of the sums required for equipping the homes and maintaining them for, say, three months.
