* Inherited Technique - 100% Hand Painted in Traditional Wax Knife and Bee Wax *
* Authentic Tribal Art - Creative Figures and Geometric Shapes Unique to Ethnic Miao *
* Aboriginal Artwork - some Abstract Symbols and Totems Rooted from Ancestor *
This aboriginal yet passionate wax batik painting is hand created by an ethnic Miao lady artist (or Hmong, same rooted) using traditional wax knife to draw. Miao is a very artistry tribe rooted in the remote mountainous Southwest China. They enjoy expressing their artistic talent and aesthetic in the form of batik art (as well as embroidery and silver ornament). You will find many creative figures and geometric shapes that are all aboriginal, with abstract symbols and totems that could be traced some 2000 years ago.
Miao batik is all manual and the process is rather tedious. It involves wax drawing (with traditional wax knife using beeswax), repetitive dyeing and wax melting. This technique could be dated back to Han Dynasty (220 AD). It was lost among mainstream Chinese but kept very well by ethnic Miao, where United Nation (UN) has named Miao batik costume as one of the world cultural relics. With its aboriginal technique and distinctive style, this ethnic artwork would be a nice addition to flourish your home.
In 2006, Chinese government aligned with United Nation UNESCO heritage policy, accredited Miao Batik an Intangible Cultural Heritage, recognizing its contribution on cultural diversity and human creativity, and safeguarding this human treasure to be kept alive.
"Miao batiks are plain, naive, rough and powerful. Its shapes, not confining to exact details of natural images, are boldly diversified and exaggeratedly drawn, making it vivid and passionate!"
Item #: GZMILR(B)426
Measurements:21 x 22 inches

Checkpoint 1
In the disabled speedboat, Max comments about all the things happening and how Passos said this would be an easy job. We find Max sulking in his apartment later. He drinks until he passes out. He wakes up to Passos entering his apartment. He says the boss wants to see them so they need to get going. They arrive at Fabricas Branco Global headquarters. Rodrigo is quite upset that his wife is still missing. Hes not entirely mad at Max and Passos but at everyone and everything going on. Victor takes off with Passos, Marcelo and the UFE officer Mr. Becker.
Rodrigo talks with Max about being rich in a poor country. An alarm begins to ring and Rodrigo sees gang members taking over the office from his security cameras. Unfortunately the security lock down system is not functioning. An IT guy enters and says there is a way to reboot it but he needs to get to the server room. Max tells Rodrigo to stay put and the IT guy plus the secretary to stay behind the desk.
Checkpoint 2
Max runs into the next room and immediately finds gang members shooting at him from all over the place. More will arrive in the back. Clear them all out and Max will invite the IT guy to come in who goes towards the left. Check the office near the entrance doors that belongs to Victor. Examine his laptop for an email and the folder on his desk containing intel on Fabiana. On the opposite side of the doors is a Golden MD-97L part. Find a pain killer in the last office along the windows then go meet up with the IT guy.
Checkpoint 3
He'll get Max through the next security door but more enemies appear across the board room. Kill them. On the small kitchen counter is a pain killer. The model near the entrance doors can be examined. Max and the IT guy sneak out behind more armed men. We get a good look at them standing around another office area as Max says they're the same people who crashed the exchange at the stadium: the Cracha Preto. Max moves up closer to them leaving the IT guy behind.
Checkpoint 4
In control, clear the room. Most of the enemies will be ahead of you but some may get on your right. There is plenty of office furniture for them to hide behind. When they're all dead Max grabs the IT guy who is reluctant to leave his spot. They walk about halfway through the room when more enemies break through the skylights, repelling down ropes - these guys mean business. Max pushes the IT guy behind a wall and takes cover.
Checkpoint 5
Clear the room however you can. There are three pain killers on desks in the corners of the room plus one in a small computer area. Return to the IT guy. They'll go to the computers that control the security system. IT guy goes to work. Max begins to sweep the building as the security gates on the windows start to close up. A small ray of light.
Checkpoint 6
Max needs to check on Rodrigo so head down the stairs and to the right. The boss appears up on his office balcony but Max tells him to lock down. Rodrigo is concerned about damaging the building. Max tells him to concentrate on staying alive. Rodrigo heads the advice and locks himself in. Max now needs to finish his sweep. Make sure to get the Golden MD-97L part in front of the waterfall before you leave.
Head out towards the windows and go right down the hallway. There is a bathroom along the way with a pain killer on the sink. Continue down the hallway and examine the school pictures of the Branco borthers on the wall. Go through the doors at the end of the hallway into the main lobby. Max finds the receptionist with a hole in her head. Can't save them all. A truck is spotted careening towards the main entrance with a gunner firing away. They smash through the doors and Max enters Bullet Time.
Checkpoint 7
Kill the enemies on the truck and Max jumps up into the air to avoid the vehicle. He's still in Bullet Time so you can kill more enemies at the entrance. A van has also pulled up with more reinforcements. Max takes cover behind a column. Take out the enemies from there or retreat to the wrecked truck for more solid cover. When the first big wave is dead, the van doors open to reveal a well-armed gunner and a couple buddies.
Checkpoint 8
Stay clear of their bullets and make them eat yours. It may take a few headshots to finally take down the gunner. After they are all dead grab the Golden MD-97L part on the scale model and go to the elevator next to the wrecked truck. Max takes it back up to check on Rodrigo. Note: If you stay behind the wrecked truck the whole time you may not be able to get the gun part after killing all the enemies.
Rodrigo's secretary is still alive but worried because she can't contact the boss since the security gates went down. Max tells her to get out and that he'll try to get in from the roof. He gets back into the elevator.
Checkpoint 9
Max manages to get through from the helipad area. Unfortunately Rodrigo is found dead at his desk. Whoever did it took the security footage too. Fabiana's picture gives Max a spur. Even if Rodrigo is dead, Fabiana is probably still alive and savable. Max tries to have a drink but drops her picture. As he picks up the pieces he notices a bomb under Rodrigo's desk. In a split second Max begins running to the balcony and hops over as it explodes - sending Max down into the fountain below.
Checkpoint 10
Max wakes up in the middle of an inferno. The whole office building is on fire and beginning to collapse around him. Once again you need to guide an injured Max out of harm's way. Go through the doors and to the left up the stairs. Max stumbles along as a large piece collapses down behind him. Continue up the stairs and Max comments how one bomb couldn't have done this much damage. He goes through a security gate and finds one of the paramilitary enemies next to the dead IT guy. The enemy walks up to Max in a more desperate way to get out but Max decides to take his gun and make him pay.
Checkpoint 11
A disarming tutorial displays. Take his gun and put a bullet in his head. Walk over to the IT guy to examine his body. Keep moving and a few enemies will appear on your right. Kill them and move forward towards the right. An explosion will knock Max down but he gets up again. Continue on what's left of the floor around the new hole. Move past the sparking wires, to the left, and through the doors.
Checkpoint 12
A dying enemy sitting on the floor will greet you. Shoot him or let him die after he pops off a few rounds. Go down the narrow burning walkway in what used to be the board room. At the end Max walks through a door and finds more enemies trying to find a way out. They spot him and take cover.
Checkpoint 13
Kill the three and move up. This was the first area with Victor's office. Push over the filing cabinet to clear a path (push the button repeatedly). Go left through the glass and then right. Another explosion will knock Max down. Head towards the right and find the narrow path among the burning rafters. Max uses other low-hanging things to keep his balance. You'll reach a walkway which collapses down to the main lobby with Max on it. On the lower level he spots a severely injured enemy trying to crawl away.
Max walks over and begins interrogating him. The guy says they came to kill Max not Rodrigo but Max says that's a lie. Fabiana is in the hands of the Comando Sombra "up the hill". Getting as much info as he can out of the guy, Max drags him out of the building and walks away. We find Max later in his apartment, drinking of course. Once again he's reflecting on all the things happening but this time he doesn't sit there sulking. Max decides to turn things around as much as he can at this point. He drinks some water and shaves his head. A changed man.

Hwy 285 travels from Denver to Santa Fe then onto Roswell NM. Bountiful Co. sits at the very bottom center of the state, we can see NM from the kitchen window. We are about 50 miles north of Taos. In the worlds largest Alpine valley. The San Luis valley has many small towns there are 5 within 10 miles from us. Bountiful no longer shows up on the map, but the highway dept. has a sign on both sides of our property which is 800 feet of commercial zoned Hwy. We are 5 or 10 miles from where Zebulan Pike built his stockade prior to his capture and deportation to Chihuahua Mexico. Back in the day there was an artesian well horse and mule teams watered on the trail, till cars were invented the stop became a post office. Across the high way Adolf Coors had 4 giant grain towers to store barley seed for his famous beer. Sometimes I wish they would have painted them as beer cans. There is a rail spur to drop of train cars, train goes by 3 times a week loaded with pearlight and Colorado lava rock. Ten miles south Antonito has a real narrow gauge rail road that takes passengers over the pass to Chama NM. We are selling Bountiful for under $100,000. Since Mrs P wants to move more than Mr P, you can email her at firstname.lastname@example.com with questions or pic request. OR LOOK UP ALBUMS ON OUR PROFILE

Milla Jovovich Brunette, Curly, Short Hairstyle
Milla Jovovich's hair works well for those with short hair -- no matter if it's curly or straight. Get the look: 1. To get started, apply a texturizing cream to your hair and blow dry straight with a paddle brush. Don't fret if it's not perfectly straight, you're going to curl most of it anyway. 2. Then, with a 1-inch barrel curling iron, curl all of your hair, misting each piece before and after with hairspray. 3. Once hair is completely curly, rake your hands through it a little bit, so it loosens up any ringlets -- you don't want it to be perfectly curly for this look. 4. Then, make a part directly down the middle of your head with a comb, going all the way to the back of the crown. 5. To finish, mist with a light-hold hairspray and add a metallic headband for some extra pizzazz.

ATLANTA, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Eight in 10 U.S. male teens used a condom the first time they had sex from 2006 to 2010 -- an increase of 9 percentage points from 2002, health officials say.
A report, "Teenagers in the United States: Sexual Activity, Contraceptive Use, and Childbearing, 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth," by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics found about 43 percent of never-married female teens -- 4.4 million -- and about 42 percent of never-married male teens -- 4.5 million -- reported sexual intercourse at least once.
Teens having sex has not changed significantly from 2002, but over the past 20 years there has been a decline in the percentages of those who were sexually experienced, the report said.
Seventy-eight percent of female teens ages 15-19 and 85 percent of males used a method of contraception at first sex -- most commonly the condom.
However, the one exception was an increase among males in the use of condoms combined with a partner's use of hormonal contraceptive during a first sexual experience, health officials said.
In addition, there was a significant increase in the percent of female teenagers who used hormonal methods other than the pill, such as injectables and the contraceptive patch, at first sex, the report said. Six percent of female teens used a non-pill hormonal method at first sex in the latest survey compared with 2 percent in 2002, the report said.

Every year Spyderco Knives produces limited production designs available in different handle or blade materials than their originals known as Sprint Runs. For 2012, they are upgrading the extremely popular Endura model, making the matching model to the Damascus/Jigged Bone Delica from 2011. Featuring layered VG-10 Damascus steel, blue titanium bolsters, and jigged bone scales, the Endura Sprint is great for any Spyderco fan or collector. The knife does not have a pocket clip and it adds a little weight to their Lightweight and FFG models, but you get so much more with this knife. It's got the feel of a custom knife in the familiar package of an old favorite and the Damascus etching on each blade is unique, making each knife one of a kind. You can see this at www.knifecenter.com.

One of the more interesting pieces of technology depicted in Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End is that which allows users to put a skin over reality, just as we currently choose different themes for our operating systems and web browsers. Thanks to some smart people working out of the Universität der Künste Berlin ("The Berlin University of the Arts"), we're one step closer to making that happen.
From the description of their project: Carcade is a concept for an in-car videogame for the passengers, which captures the landscape and uses it as a videogame environment. Existing objects, for example trees and architecture, are recognized by the camera and enhanced by videogame assets. The game is influenced by the manner of driving of the car. If the driver accelerates, the game becomes increasingly difficult. If the car comes to a stop a different game situation evolves. We developed a small game concept and a functional prototype, with which we did a test drive on the street. A webcam is connected to a laptop running camera tracking software which recognizes the horizon and objects in the environment. The player has to maneuver a spaceship and collect points whilst trying to avoid crashing into oncoming enemies.
It is still early days, but watching their video will help you understand the technology a bit better. As it advances, that boring prairie drive between Calgary and Edmonton could become a lot more interesting if it took the form of a space battle, jungle cruise or otherwise more-scenic route instead.
In order to further cement the relationship between videogames and driving, iTWire reports (via /.) that a car designed for the Playstation 3 game Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has made into real life and was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. It isn't just a fantasy car, either. Apparently the GTbyCITROËN handles the same in real life as in the the game.
If you've played the Gran Turismo series of games, you'll know exactly how hyper-realistic they are. In fact, I'm pretty sure I learned more about driving through the original Gran Turismo for PS1 than I did from the driving lessons I took when I was sixteen.
I'm probably not the only one that thinks that way, either. According to this CNN story, Allstate insurance will start offering specialized computer games to older drivers and that this could end up lowering their rates.

Oregon playing near NCAA fire after recent trouble
The Denver Post's John Henderson is visiting each Pac-12 town before Colorado joins the conference next season. Follow his travels here.
EUGENE, Ore. — I visited Oregon coach Chip Kelly Tuesday, the day after it was reported that his star kick returner, Cliff Harris, got ticketed Sunday for going 118 mph on Interstate 5 near Albany, Ore., halfway between Eugene and Portland.
That would seem only big-time careless until you consider he was driving with a suspended license and court records show he'd been ticketed at least three times in the past year and a half for speeding and driving without a valid license. In the previous two instances, he drove 49 mph in a 30 mph zone and 45 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Then add all that onto a minor in possession conviction in January 2010.
Wait. It gets worse. Turns out the car he drove Sunday was a car rented by a female Oregon employee. If she loaned it to Harris it may be a violation of NCAA rules prohibiting athletes from receiving extra benefits.
The employee told KEZI-TV in Eugene Monday that she loaned the car to Harris after he paid the total amount of the rental. She said she has the receipts to prove it.
Nevertheless, Kelly suspended Harris indefinitely Wednesday.
This isn't what the Ducks need with the NCAA still snooping around the football program for paying $25,000 to a Houston-based recruiting service owned by Willie Lyles. The NCAA is checking to see if Lyles helped steer star running back Lache Seastrunk of Temple (Texas) High to the Ducks last year.
Kelly told me he's sincerely worried about the investigation, but he said the Ducks did nothing wrong. Talking to coaches around the Pac-12, they all pay upwards of $25,000 but for multiple services.
I asked Kelly, "Is that normal in college football to pay $25,000 for one recruiting service?"
"Google the SEC and see what they're paying for services," he told me.

High School Makes Amazing One-Take Pop Music Medley Video
Nearly eight minutes in length, and with 49 people to choreograph, this video was no small feat. The fact that they're all high school students certainly makes it more impressive.
Watch a cameraman wind his way through the halls of their school as students lip sync (sometimes half-heartedly) along to a bunch of pop hits. We don't have any idea how he didn't fall down. We can't even walk that far facing forward and not carrying anything without tripping at least once.

For intensity and brilliance beyond compare, experience Mission Gold Watercolors by Mijello. This line of 96 super-premium watercolors was designed with the help of expert watercolor artists to mirror the strong, vivid colors of nature.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/diluted application and were applied on cold press watercolor paper (150 lb) material.
organic, monoazo benzimidazolone
Benzimidazolone Brown is a transparent brown pigment that is heavily staining and dark valued but has moderately low tinting strength. According to its manufacturer Clariant, "It is a dark brown, very transparent benzimidazolone pigment with excellent light, weather, and solvent fastness properties plus high heat stability. Recommended for paste inks, solvent and water based packaging gravure, and flexographic printing inks." Benzimidazolone Brown has been used in watercolor painting, where transparent brown colors have traditionally been mixed from other pigments.
Benzimidazolone Brown has excellent lightfastness and weather resistance.
Benzimidazolone pigments were developed and patented by Hoechst in 1960, and have gradually come into use as artist pigments.
Renol Brown, Viscofil Brown, Microdis Brown, Hostaperm Brown HFR.
organic, monoazo
This Naphthol Red is an intense scarlet red pigment that is heavily staining. It has an average drying time. It is semi-transparent and has relatively poor covering power.
This Naphthol Red has been rated as having excellent lightfastness under ASTM testing, but other testing methods have demonstrated some tendancy for the color to fade with exposure to strong ultraviolet light. It has been considered a replacement for less lightfast naphthol reds such as PR3. Not suitable for exterior use.
Naphthol Reds are not considered toxic. Naphthol Red AS-D may cause eye, skin, or respiratory irritation. Contact with dry pigment should be avoided.
Naphthal, Naphthol Bordeaux, Naphthol Carbamide, Naphthol Carmine, Permanent Carmine, Permanent Red, Fanchon Red.
nickel azomethine yellow
Nickel Azo Yellow is a transparent, moderately staining yellow pigment with high tinting strength. It is considered a good color match in botanical and landscape painting for natural gamboge (NY24), a historic yellow pigment with fair to poor lightfastness.
Nickel azomethine yellow has excellent lightfastness.
Nickel azo yellow pigment is mildly toxic, and is often labeled as hazardous. Avoid respiratory and skin exposure to pigment dust. It should be disposed of properly with other hazardous wastes, not washed down the sink. However, the contribution of artist pigments to levels of nickel metal complexes in the environment is almost insignificant. Nickel is often present in the environment naturally. Nickel is used heavily in steelmaking, and in many industrial processes and products.
Nickel azomethine yellow has been developed as an artist pigment becasue it is a close match for gamboge, a historic yellow.
Gamboge Hue, New Gamboge.

I am delighted you want to check out my personal website, however
please talk to my agents about commissions as they handle all of that for me.
I look forward to working with you.
Fine ladies in wigs, angry witches and crazy dinosaurs – these are just a few of the characters French illustrator Agnès Ernoult has created for her clients in recent years. Each persona has its own unique charm, interesting expressions, and little touches of detail you won't see anywhere else. That's why her work is in demand at a range of children's book publishers, magazines and more.
Agnès actually set out to become an English teacher. After studying the language for three years, she moved to Bristol and found herself in the Stokes Croft district. It's an arty area, full of studios and decorated with all sorts of murals. The creative bug had bitten, and it took Agnès back to when she was three or four years old and worked at a little desk next to her father, who was a teacher marking papers.
"Every time I said, 'I'm finished,' he would reply, 'You can go further by adding this or that.' That's how drawing became a part of me. I've always loved spending hours and hours trying to represent what I had in mind as best as I could," she explains.
Now, the artist's life is a reality for her, she still harks back to old Disney films and Peter Rabbit stories for her inspiration. Agnès loves to see animals wearing clothes, like The Fantastic Mr Fox. Cakes, pastries and famous chefs also give her a creative spark, as does the music of French film composer Alexandre Desplats.
Give us a few details and we'll get back
to you quickly with an idea of Agnès's

it's okay though, she's the sweetest lady in all the land. (Hi Sally!)
Over Easter weekend we got to take a trip to the mountains.
We were super excited.
We went with some super-duper friends.
This is Grant, posing like he does, in front of our totally-rockin'-awesome cabin.
And yes, there was snow on the ground, so daily snow ball fights were had by all.
This pretty much summed up what we did all weekend. Grant walking back from the kitchen with food in his mouth, typical. Monica working on the blasted afghan that she feels she will never finish. Gracie in her lap snuggling. Jay in his favorite spot where he would daily nap in front of the basketball game. Me just being thankful he wasn't working and was relaxed.
This was also a typical scene. Gracie and Dave on their phones, Grant in the middle looking like he was ready to pounce on one of them.
Hannah and Calvin were twinsies for like a couple of days, cuz isn't that what you do when you're on vacation, you wear the same clothes over and over again? Yep.
Grant tried to tackle the Dave into a snow bank. I DID NOT get the picture of him picking him up and slamming him down into the pile of ICE! Let's just say, there was much laughter, and then blood and scrapes. Good times.
This is my Monica friend. My walking buddy. Love her. See how sweet and cute we are?
Yeah, not so sweet and cute now. We got all excited, we thought we had found Dave's phone, he had been stealing ours all weekend and posting gosh awful pictures on them, so we did this to his....but unfortunately it was Jay's phone...he STILL has this as his wallpaper. Goober.
In the backseat on the way home.
After picking up Winston from the boarding place. They just snuggled like this all the way home. It was the sweetest thing.
And now for some random pictures off my phone....
This is a daily occurrence, to find pictures like this on my phone. Turtle-boy.
My babies had just gotten home from their youth retreat. They had an amazing time. Loved hearing all their experiences and seeing their joy. Precious.
Dave had a presentation in class on Napoleon Bonaparte and THIS is what he used for his opening slide. That boy is hilarious. Yes, he got an A.
Calvi gave me a tattoo during church one day. Love it.
The boys decided to go study at a place in town one day, I missed them, so I sent them this picture.
Then this one.
Then they said something sarcastic back at me, so I sent them this one.
Calv-Boo came into our room one night to 'share', love his heart. Getting some wisdom from his Daddy and taking it in.
This cat naps more than I do, and that's hard to do!
Had to take Winston to get his shots, the other day...this is him staring me down while I was driving there, he knew EXACTLY where we were going. It was the saddest thing, while we were in the waiting room, a family came out that had just had to put their precious doggie down. They were all crying, but I lost it when the Dad was carrying the boy, both were sobbing and the Dad was speaking soothing words to his son. That was it, I went into the ugly cry right there in front of them sitting in the waiting room. It broke my heart. I do NOT look forward to the day when that will be us with the Winston.
But on a happier note; did you know I was married to Superman? What a stud, this guy.
Eating lunch with my babies, and THIS is what I get to look at. Wow.
Had a totally fun day out with my sweet friend Mimi, we had sushi. I hadn't had sushi since last summer. It was SO yummy. This was my baby dragon roll. Too cute.
Calvi and I took a 'selfi' while running errands one day.
Dave was snuggling with me on the couch, but when I tried to take a picture, THIS is the face he gave me. Goober.
And I leave you with this image. Look how content that kitty is, his favorite snuggle spot. So sweet.
Thursday, April 25, 2013
Then this lady from church got on my case for not blogging in awhile....
it's okay though, she's the sweetest lady in all the land. (Hi Sally!)
with love from... Dena

Ralph Krueger was named head coach of the Edmonton Oilers on June 26th. It was a dream come true for the 53-year-old and when I spoke to him that Wednesday, but this 87-day lockout has him waiting
patiently impatiently to show the hockey world his plan of attack.
Yesterday I spoke with Krueger and we didn't mention the words HRR, make whole, decertification, Bettman of Fehr. It was a refreshing change of pace. We actually talked hockey. Does he have some line combinations in place? Who will play beside Justin Schultz? Will Nail Yakupov play right wing, or will Krueger try him on the left side.
Krueger had some good insight into what he will do when the lockout ends.
Gregor: Tell me about all the stops you have been on. How often have you seen the OKC guys? How many of your other Oiler players have you seen in Europe?
Krueger: Well Jason, I've been bouncing around. That's certainly the right word to use. I began with the training camp in OKC, which allowed me to spend some time with our prospects and our Oilers that are down there for a few days. Then in between that and what's happened lately, I was bouncing around Europe and visited all kinds of different teams where I know people and just kept myself close to the game before I returned and spent another week around Thanksgiving with OKC and the players there. I've been back in Edmonton now for awhile. We're just keeping everybody in the ready mode. It's kind of like being in the starting block of a sprint and just ready to have somebody to shoot the gun right now.
Gregor: Your thoughts on Justin Schultz after having seen him live for the first time?
Krueger: I hadn't seen him play before. I had seen tapes of him, but not live. Of course, to watch Justin live is a much more exciting experience to see how much of the game he comprehends, how complete he is as a player. And that was, of course, a real positive. The person that goes along with that is just a bonus. He's a super character, a great team player, a competitor. We're all very positive about Justin's future.
Gregor: Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall have been raving about the offensive upside of Justin Schultz. Like any young defenseman, he'll have to work on his defensive game. When you work with a young defenseman, how do you improve their defensive game?
Krueger: Well its just overall awareness. More than anything, it's anticipating the play. That's why we often speak about defenseman really not settling into their prime until their mid-to-late twenties. As far as the way they see the game and read it defensively, it's anticipation. It's doing things in advance, we call it "pre-gapping" in a lot of situations, that you're pre-positioning, that's where the great experience of Steve Smith will come in to help Justin there, with his experience of multiple years as an NHL defenseman and the way he sees the game.
We'll take it piece by piece. He's already got a keen sense of what he needs to do. At the NHL level, there will be much more power coming at him, it's a stronger league than the AHL. The physicality of it will be something that on the forecheck, as a defenseman, you will also have to solve. But the game away from the puck, whether you take a young forward or defenseman it's not really much different. There's just a lot of principle teaching to do, there's an awareness there that they might not have had to have as a junior player or a college player because they were so tough offensively that nobody worried about that. But they have a high game intelligence; I think that that part of it should come quickly.
Gregor: Have you allowed yourself to put a lineup in pencil at all? Have you thought, "OK, Justin Schultz, based on the way he's played he's likely going to start the season here." In a perfect scenario, is there somebody you'd at least like to try him with to start the season?
Krueger: Well when you look down the left side, we've got Lady Smid, and we look at Nick Schultz and we look at the experience of those two players, for instance. They're candidates. Ryan Whitney down the left side would be more somebody who's also playing power play and strengthening our offensive game. There's a couple great options there of experienced NHL defenseman for Justin. Once again, I do play with the lineup, Jason, that's something as a coach you're doing consistently and trying to find different combinations- whether up front or on D. Once again, that's something we hope we're doing really quickly but there's nothing set in stone yet until we get the team together, hoping everybody's healthy and the lineup will then quickly take its form.
Gregor: You've said on many occasions the likelihood of a trio of a forward line sticking together the whole season is rare. Do you find, based on your coaching experience, that you can have more success if you keep your defence pairings together though?
Krueger: I agree Jason, especially in the NHL where you end up with pairs who would have a tendency to play against top lines. If you look at the development of the pair of Jeff Petry and Ladislav Smid last year, they really, really started feeding off of each other, reading off each other and were hungry for that shut down role that they took on and spent most of the season against the top lines of the other teams.
Playing together as a defensive pair, there's just so many little instinctual advantages to having spent time to knowing what your partner's doing, and to understand what his tendencies are. I've been one, in the past, that's often found pairs and really left them together for long periods of time. The synergies that develop offensively are also good. How they read they play, who's jumping on the rush, when the right time to jump is and who's supporting the play. So in both directions there is a lot of advantages and I think that one pair of Smid and Petry was a great example of a synergy that developed through last season.
Gregor: You have had more time than you would like, I'm guessing, to think about your strategy heading into the season. If we see a sprint to the finish of 48 games, compared to an 82, will you have to adjust your strategy as a Head Coach?
Krueger: What's going to be critical here, because we're all believing there's will be a season and we all believe there's going to be a compressed season. It will be less about the strategic changes than the need for using your bench, for the depth of the roster. With the type of a high paced game that we want to play, both offensively and defensively being a high pressure team, we will need for to use all of our 14 forwards and 7 defenceman. There's going to be players coming in and out of the lineup and you're really going to have to make sure you can get your fourth line in to play. They will need to get their minutes.
When we're going to have weeks where we play four games, it would be too much of a burden on three lines, as we were often able to do in the past. That'll be one thing that we really need to make sure we use our bench well, and that we are balanced in our roster in certain situations. The off ice will be huge as well, Jason. To make sure that the days between games, the overall training that we do that we're very, very conscience of what the players can handle and how we can regenerate at such a high pace.
Gregor: Do you plan on going down to OKC in the near future and watching, Eberle, Hall, Schultz, as well as Haritkainen and Pajaarvi, because they potentially could be in your starting lineup in January?
Krueger: Well the wonderful thing with modern technology, Jason, is the ability to watch every single game, which we can do. We have certain portions cut up to also try to help them grow. Right now, I'll be honest with you; I'm planning my life one week at a time, and I have been for quite some time now. We don't go much beyond that.
So I've got this week planned. I look forward to going to watching the Canadian National Junior team camp in Calgary. I'll be driving down in the morning with Craig MacTavish. We'll take in a few days of that. If this drags on, there's no question that I'd be excited to spend some time in OKC again. They're doing a good job down there. It's interesting and it is always neat to see your players from the outside. I've always been on the bench with them for the last two years, so to watch them play from the stands is good. It gives you a little different perspective on their strengths and also on the things we need to work on.
Gregor: What would be the benefit to go down and watch the World Juniors, for you?
Krueger: For me, it's always just staying close to the game right now and changing the environment. Quite honestly, I don't want to be anywhere too long. I could feel that whether it was in OKC or in Europe, I don't want to get in anybody's way. I want everybody to be able to do their work. When an NHL Coach shows up somewhere, it can be distracting. I've had three and four day trips all over the world visiting organizations, and Hockey Canada is just another one.
They're going to have a big camp there, and it will be great to see the facility. I'd like to see the new work they've done in their video room, so there are things outside the training camp that I'll be looking at. But of course to see the players, to see the prospects, the top Canadian prospects of the future is always an exciting thing to observe and to get to know some of the names and the players, which is what I was able to do while I was with the national team in Switzerland. To see the youth of the world and to see Canada's players was always good. To watch what the coaches are planning there and to get a little feel of what's going on in that respect, in preparation of the juniors, it will be nice to see it first hand.
Gregor: Do feel there will be an advantage for your team, because your top projected six or seven forwards have all been playing actual hockey games, if the NHL returns?
Krueger: We looked at it today. To have potentially ten players playing right now, I'm sure we're right at or above the NHL average. That's a good situation. Again, you have to make it your advantage. That'll be up to us. On the other side, other teams might have a little more experience or still have players who are also playing, so it's not that we're the only ones. We'll make it an advantage, Jason. We're going to work hard to do that.
Gregor: Ralph, you mentioned how from week to week you don't really know what you are doing. Hockey people are very much creatures of habit. I don't know if you've ever been in this situation, where you're a coach but you're not coaching. How do you keep yourself sharp?
Krueger: Well I turned pro as a player at 18 and I'm 53 now so it's been awhile. I've been coaching 23 years and it's the first time I've sat around this long. What's very, very important is as always, to continue to work on your fitness. I've been doing a lot more reading and also a variety of reading, really going into different genres… psychological kind of information to rethink the game. It's been an advantage to rethink the game and to bounce all kinds of questions off coaches around the world. It's re-awakened ideas that I've had inside of me. You just have to make sure that you have a plan. So my plan is short term, but it is intense. I keep my days full with lots of things that are inspirational and more than anything, just staying active physically too has helped a lot to deal with the situation.
Gregor: Have you talked to Freddy Chabot, about how you would get your goaltender, Devan Dubnyk, who hasn't seen any action- up to speed quickly? Will you have to alter some sort of drills in practice to get him ready?
Krueger: Well we could get one of those baseball machines; and just shoot pucks at him for a couple of days. (laughs) Just put him in net. Quite seriously, he's been training very, very hard. We don't have close access to the players, but you hear it through the grapevine and he has been stopping a lot of rubber. I hope that we can get him playing somewhere, which would ideally be the best. If this does drag on for a few more weeks, that would be the idea. Otherwise it will be up to us in practice, to really maximize the ice time. Again, you don't want to burn out any players and get over-exuberant because of a break like this. I think it'll take a while for all NHL teams to settle in. You just want to make sure in that chaos, that in the beginning you're better at dealing with it than others and that includes the goaltending position. Freddy Chabot has stayed very close to that and has some good ideas of how we can get Duby up to game speed.
Gregor: A lot of your players have told me, 'I think we have an advantage because we've consistently had decent starts to the last few years.' However your team hasn't been able to maintain that over the course of the season. Why do you think that has happened recently?
Krueger: Well last season we really got off to a good start. It was a little combination of others coming at us a little harder. We did surprise teams with some of our strategy and tactics last year and teams were possibly better prepared for that as we went on. Above all, we were a team growing a lot the last few years. The pain and the setbacks that we've had have given us experience that should make us stronger and be more consistent as a group.
We really want to work on and continuing to improve our training habits and practice. I thought that was something that was maybe lacking in our game, we weren't as consistent as we wanted to be and consistency often comes from what you're doing when you're not playing the game. So that will be a focal point, and above all, just being a much more mature team in dealing with tight games. I thought as we lost our great start last year, there were some tight games that we gave up unnecessary giveaways or turnovers and an overall lack of maturity. That's something I believe we're going to be much better at dealing with as we head into this phase of our organization's development.
Gregor: You've got Hemsky as a right winger and you've got Yakupov. Have you thought about moving Yakupov to the left side, or have you thought at all about putting him on the right side and putting him with two veterans, like Horcoff and Smyth to start?
Krueger: Well the good thing is Nail has spent some time on the left side in the KHL, so he has been exposed to that. We'll have to see how everybody comes in together. How he's going to fit in as a player is still new for all of us. Whether we look at what he did in junior or what he's doing now in the KHL, what and how much he can do in the NHL, and how quickly, is still up in the air. He has an amazing competitive spirit.
He has a wonderful skill-set, but his flexibility left to right is something I'm still not certain of. A lot will have to do with how we feel he is flexible on that and then those lines will take their form. It looks like he did ok on the left side in the KHL for a few weeks. With him being able to come attack on both sides would be interesting. His advantage playing the off wing is his unbelievable direct shot; his one-timer is the best I've seen from a young player in a long time. On the power play he is definitely playing his off wing, but on the 5-on-5 game there can be advantages to being on your forehand, especially in the NHL with the fore checking and the D-pinching pressure that he will often experience. Those are all different kinds of elements we will have to look at. Once again, we are just excited with the idea of having him in the lineup.
We can expect Smid/Petry to play together and I wonder if he plays J. Schultz with the stay-at-home N.Schultz or elects to put him with Whitney and attack offensively. You could play Whitney/J.Schultz with the kids or Hemsky's line and try to generate a lot of scoring chances.
It was interesting to hear he is contemplating moving Yakupov to the left wing. I still foresee a scenario where Eberle, Hemsky and Yakupov all play RW. The Oilers need someone with some size and ability to retrieve pucks, and that is why I could see Ryan Jones or Teemu Hartikainen on the 2nd line and start Yakupov with two veterans like Ryan Smyth and Shawn Horcoff.
Don't expect the Oilers to keep three lines together consistently. It rarely happens in the NHL, and from listening to Krueger he will try different combinations to see who has the best chemistry.

On climate change, Obama delivered
Broadening his campaign against the central environmental challenge of our time, President Obama vowed Tuesday to use the powers of the presidency to respond to the growing perils of climate change.
With a deeply divided Congress unwilling so far to address this widening scourge, the president stepped up, as only a president can, signaling that he's ready to turn to the executive tool box for the solutions the country so badly needs.
Story Continued Below
The president has got this exactly right. This is no time for hesitation and half-hearted measures. This is a leadership issue for him - and it's a leadership moment for the nation.
We just wrapped up the hottest year on record across the continental United States, accompanied by the worst drought in half a century.
Folks are hurting in the heartland, where crops have withered and pastures died. Businesses are suffering across the nation's great middle, where barges drag bottom in the Mississippi. And cities are reeling from devastation and loss from hurricanes and so-called super storms.
The president has seen in this hardship the face of climate change and the rising costs it brings. That toll, he rightly asserted in his State of the Union address, will only continue to climb unless we decide, as a nation, to take a stand.
"For the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change," he said, promising to identify executive actions he can take to reduce what he called "the dangerous carbon pollution that threatens our planet."
The single most important action we can take, as a nation, to strike a blow against climate change is to reduce the carbon pollution from our dirtiest power plants. The president has the authority to make that happen.
Power plants - especially our aging fleet of coal-fired facilities - account for nearly 40 percent of U.S. carbon pollution. Under the power Congress vested in the Environmental Protection Agency through the Clean Air Act, Obama can reduce that footprint.
One of the most successful pieces of environmental legislation in our history, the Clean Air Act has prevented hundreds of thousands of premature deaths, and saved our economy untold hundreds of billions of dollars in work time that otherwise would have been lost, since it was passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority in Congress and signed into law by President Richard Nixon four decades ago.
Under this vital national safeguard, Obama has the authority to set standards to reduce carbon pollution in our power plants. He can do so in a way tailored to the specific energy mix of individual states, a way that allows utility companies to determine the most cost-effective way to hit the carbon-reduction targets.

NEW YORK -- Stock futures were mixed but recovered from sharp declines Friday after the government reported that economic growth during the third quarter was slightly better than expected thanks in part to stronger consumer spending.
Dow Jones industrial futures fell 27 points to 12,029, but had been down about 100 points in early trading. The S&P futures gave up a point to hit 1,407.20. Nasdaq futures came out of negative territory and rose 2.75 points to 2,650.75.
The Commerce Department reported that the economy expanded at 2 percent annual rate from July through September. In addition to stronger consumer spending, a critical piece of the nation's economic recovery, government spending added to growth as well.
Economists had predicted a more modest growth rate of 1.8 percent.
Also weighing on the market was a study by Global Financial Integrity, a monitoring group based in Washington, which found that Chinese investors evaded government regulators to spirit more than $600 billion out of the country.
That trend, according to the group, appears to be accelerating, and many point to frustration with the state-run banking system that provides breaks to state-owned companies.
The group said it was unclear how much of the money came from corruption or other crimes but it said the outflow could worsen economic and political strains.
U.S. corporations continue to post quarterly results.
The drugmaker Merck & Co. said Friday third-quarter profit rose 2 percent.
Comcast Corp., the nation's largest provider of TV and high-speed Internet services, more than doubled its net income during the quarter.
Exposure to Europe and its debt crisis stung Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., which said net income fell by nearly one third.

Brett Frischmann's Contribution to Policy Debates Regarding Governance of Infrastructures
Because the framing of issues is so critical to how policy debates are conducted and policy outcomes are ultimately chosen, Brett's analysis contributes to more balanced discussion within policy debates related to governance of infrastructures. Brett's book emphasizes the functional role both of infrastructure resources to society and of commons as a resource management strategy, providing important insights for considering appropriate governance of infrastructure resources. Its analytical strength stems from development of a typology of different infrastructures "based on the types of systems dependent on the infrastructural resource and the distribution of productive activities it facilitates" (p. 61), which is then used to understand the importance of (what Brett describes as) demand-side characteristics of various types of infrastructures. This demand-side functional approach is contrasted with the supply-side approach that has tended to dominate the focus of policy debates related to governance of infrastructures.
To understand Brett's analysis, it is critical to understand the definitions of component terms and certain economic and legal concepts upon which his analysis is based. For this reason, one has to patiently work their way through substantial portions of the book that lay the foundation for understanding how his typology contributes to understanding commons management (a form of nondiscriminatory access rule) to infrastructures both generally and in specific contexts. This is a compliment – not a criticism – of how Brett took on the challenge of carefully constructing analytical arguments, particularly from concepts of law and economics of which readers are likely familiar but perhaps with differing shades of meaning.
However, it is also challenging to accurately incorporate the research of others who are also attempting to contribute towards a more balanced policy debate of governance related to access to infrastructures. In this regard, for me, a weakness in the analysis throughout Brett's book is some inaccuracies (or insufficient clarity) as to the functional role of various bodies of law that have developed to address access problems in varying contexts. For example, discussion of common carriage (see p. 218) conflates origins of the common law of common carriage and public utilities. The origins of common carriage obligations are based on duties under tort law; and it is public utility law, not common carriage, that developed in part from laws of franchise and monopoly. But because some infrastructures – such as railroads, telegraphy and telephony – are both common carriers and public utilities, the distinctive functional roles of the two bodies of law have come to be conflated and misunderstood. This conflation, in turn, has tended to mislead discourse related to many deregulatory telecommunications policies, including network neutrality.
Therefore, in my view, the contribution of Brett's work towards a more balanced policy discussion of governance of infrastructures would be further strengthened by juxtaposition of his functional approach to infrastructure resources with a more carefully delineated (and accurate), functional approach to the various bodies of law that have developed thus far to address varying forms of infrastructure access problems.

By default, you can upload videos that are up to 15 minutes long. To upload longer videos, follow the steps below to verify your Google Account. If you have live streaming access, long uploads are enabled by default.
To upload longer videos, verify your Google Account with the following steps:

Make sure you're using an up-to-date version of your browser to upload files greater than 20GB.
Maximum upload size
The maximum file size you can upload is 128GB or 12 hours, whichever is less. We've changed the limits on uploads in the past, so you may see older videos that are longer than 12 hours.
Troubleshoot common issuesI uploaded a long video before verifying my Google Account.
If you forgot to verify your Google Account before uploading a long video, you'll be prompted to do so after your video has finished processing.
You may also see a "Rejected (length of video too long)" error in your Video Manager. If you do, click the Verify account button next to the video.
Once you've verified your Google Account, click Activate this video in your Video Manager to publish it. Activated videos are automatically set as private videos, so make sure to check the privacy settings for your video and edit them if you'd like.

If you used to be able to upload long videos and no longer can, check your account for copyright claims and strikes.
You'll only be able to upload long videos if there aren't any worldwide Content ID blocks on your content.
If your video is larger than 128GB, try compressing your video in a video editor before uploading it to YouTube. This will reduce your video file size while still keeping the video quality high. One common way to compress a video for YouTube is to encode it using the H.264 codec.

FIFA.com's latest stats review reflects on a bad week for English and German giants, but milestones to savour for Guillermo Burdisso, Fabrice Olinga, Gonzalo Higuain and Carlos Ruiz.
international goals was the landmark reached by Guatemala icon Ruiz in last Wednesday's 3-3 draw with Paraguay. The Veracruz striker, who became his country's all-time record scorer three years ago when he surpassed Juan Carlos Plata's previous record of 35, also maintained his ratio of scoring one goal every two games for Los Chapines, with strike number 50 coinciding with cap number 100. The 32-year-old was not, however, the only Latin American forward hitting the headlines last Wednesday. A certain Lionel Messi continued his own outstanding run of international scoring form by finding the net in Argentina's 3-1 win over Germany. La Albiceleste have now won five matches in succession, and all five have been marked by a Messi goal. The Barcelona star also helped his team avoid defeat in Germany for the sixth match in a row, extending a run that dates back to the last home win in this fixture - penalty shootouts excluded - in April 1988.
years and 98 days was the age at which Fabrice Olinga became the youngest goalscorer in the history of La Liga on Saturday. The Cameroonian youngster, a product of the Samuel Eto'o foundation, grabbed the winner for Malaga against Celta Vigo six minutes from time and, in doing so, eclipsed the record of 16 years and 289 days set by Iker Muniain in 2009. There was also a notable milestone for Gonzalo Higuain, who took his Real Madrid tally to 104 and drew level with Brazilian legend Ronaldo as the club's joint-fifth highest-scoring foreigner, behind Alfredo Di Stefano, Hugo Sanchez, Ferenc Puskas and Cristiano Ronaldo. And there was a thriller served up in Bilbao, where Real Betis' 5-3 win over Athletic gave La Liga its first eight-goal encounter on the opening weekend since a 4-4 draw between Espanyol and Levante in 1963.
Bundesliga clubs crashed out in the first round of the DFB Pokal this week, the first time in 25 years that so many top-flight teams have been ousted at this stage of the competition. The most significant shock came in the capital, where Berliner AK claimed the biggest win by a fourth-tier club over a Bundesliga outfit in the tournament's history by thrashing Hoffenheim 4-0. Werder Bremen were also among the victims, going down 4-2 against Munster, and have now lost three successive Pokal matches for the first time since 1965.
unanswered West Bromwich Albion goals handed Liverpool their heaviest opening-day defeat in the English top flight in 75 years on Saturday. Not since Chelsea beat them 6-1 in 1937 have the Reds been beaten so resoundingly at this early stage of a domestic campaign, and their cause was not helped by conceding two penalties – meaning they have now gifted West Brom four spot-kicks in their last three visits to the Hawthorns. Manchester United also lost, slumping to a 1-0 defeat at Everton in Sir Alex Ferguson's 500th away league match as the club's manager, of which he has won 243, drawn 138 and lost 119. It is the first time in two decades that both the Reds and the Red Devils have lost on the opening weekend of a league season. Arsenal, for their part, fared little better, with a goalless draw against Sunderland meaning the Gunners have now gone four home league games without a win for the first time since 1995.
minutes and one touch was all that Guillermo Burdisso required to make an instant, goalscoring impact at his new club, Boca Juniors on Saturday. The 23-year-old centre-half headed the opener in a 3-1 win over All Boys with his first touch for Los Xeneizes and, in doing so, continued a remarkable run of scoring on his debut for every one of his Argentinian clubs. Burdisso, the brother of Roma stalwart Nicolas, even took this happy habit into the international arena when he found the net in his first and, to date, only appearance for Argentina, a 3-2 win over Costa Rica in January 2010. Furthermore, there is a common thread to the manner of Burdisso's goals, with headers accounting for all 11 of his top-flight strikes.

New city organisation goes back to the future
A NEW ORGANISATION set up in Dundee to promote civic pride, relieve hardship and advance education has dipped into the past to resurrect a long defunct civic office.
The City of Dundee Burgess Charity will only be open to those willing to become a Burgess of the city, an ancient office that invited freemen to trade freely in Dundee.
Almost 370 years since Charles I reconfirmed the city's status as a Royal Burgh in the Great Charter on 14 September 1641, a number of Dundee's prominent citizens, including Lord Provost John Letford, have got together for the launch.
The seven trustees, Lord Provost Letford, Bill Spence, Alison Henderson, Prudence Watson, Robert Burns, Margaret Hutton, and Charles Scott, and secretary Scott Williamson wanted to create a vehicle for doing good and promoting the city.
Scott Williamson, the organisation's secretary, said: "Through the enrolment as Burgesses individuals will be able to promote the City of Dundee and pride in its people past, present and in the future through supporting charitable and social activities in the city.
"We are proud of our past and proud of our future and this new organisation draws on our rich heritage.
"The City of Dundee Burgesses will enhance everyday life for those that we can help and encourage a wide spectrum of interest in strengthening community involvement in aspects of importance to Dundonians.
"Dundee is on the verge of a new and exciting future with among other things the V&A@Dundee, and the resultant rise in visitors it will bring, so this is an exciting time to be a Dundonian."
Anyone who wants to become a member, and therefore a Burgess, must live or work in the city or have significant family or historical links with it; be involved in charitable works, businesses and the professions or community or civil life of the city and have demonstrated through such involvement a commitment to equality and diversity in the promotion of civic pride in or contribution to the community spirit of the City of Dundee.
All members will have to required to declare that they will promote the interests of Dundee and its citizens; observe the principles of fairness, equality of opportunity and non-discrimination characteristic of those who have these interests at heart and deal justly with the citizens of Dundee and fellow Burgesses.
Individual membership fee will be £50 and will be valid for five years.

Thyroid Regulation
Millions of Americans suffer from fatigue, weight gain, depression, and cognitive impairment. Many believe that they have no choice but to accept these seemingly "age-related" declines in quality of life.
Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) is often overlooked or misdiagnosed and can be the underlying cause of these symptoms. Patients and their doctors often disregard these common signs of thyroid hormone deficiency, mistaking them for normal aging.1
Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) afflicts fewer people than hypothyroidism, yet the symptoms can be equally devastating. Subclinical hyperthyroidism, characterized by suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels accompanied by normal thyroid hormones (T4 and T3) levels,2 has been associated with increased rates of cardiovascular disease; arrhythmia in particular.3 Overt hyperthyroidism compromises bone health,4 elevates blood glucose levels,5 and often causes anxiety.6
Fortunately, a simple blood test for TSH, T3 and T4 can reveal an underlying thyroid condition and help direct treatment to improve the symptoms.1, 2
In this protocol we will discuss the function and regulation of the thyroid gland, and the systemic implications of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. We will examine the importance of proper testing and interpretation of thyroid hormone levels and reveal natural approaches for maintaining optimal thyroid hormone levels.

Remember those iPhone 5 dummies that were floating around Germany and Taiwan last week? Well it looks like they're starting to hit U.S. shores, social networks, and tip boxes.
iMore previously reported that this is indeed the basic design for the new iPhone, though the final design details will no doubt differ (pentalobe screws, properly typeset branding, etc.) But if you're still eager to soak in as much hype as you possibly can before tomorrow's iPhone event, check out the image above and the one below, and let us know your pre-release thoughts.

BBDO - Letterpress CD Packaging, Coasters, Cards
We print for other creative companies both large and small. Our friends in Designworks at BBDO in New York made up this gem of an identity system for their new post production suite called The Kitchen at BBDO. The system blends some fun patterns and crisp tiny type onto coasters, business cards and a CD package. And it was among the projects we printed that won a feature in the Print Design Annual. It is a misconception that letterpress is only for small projects. We are not scared to run a big press sheet and handle large volume work. The 4 panel, 2 pocket CD package ran 2 up on our full size 18 x 23 sheet and was custom die cut and converted. The coasters and business cards ran together on a second sheet. And the details still look edible.
