Fat32 w/ files larger than 2Gb?

Discussion in 'Mac Basics and Help' started by Future Blues, Dec 5, 2007.

    So I have a USB drive that's formatted Fat32 and I'm really confused.

    I've heard that there are file size restrictions in this particular format (2GB max?) and I'm really worried about some of the data I have backed up on this drive. All my photos, for instance, in an Aperture Vault. That file alone is 20Gb of space on my disk... If Fat32 has these limits... Will it not open up if I have a catastrophe and have to restore from that vault?

    I mean, if there's a limit, how did I get it over there in the first place?

    I don't really want to format this drive in HFS+ because I'd like to be able to access them in both Windows and Leopard (and on my Xbox 360) but I'm worried that the integrity of my HD, and/or my data might be at risk the way I'm using it now.

    I read just yesterday that the latest version of FAT32 has a 2GB/file limit (down from 4GB previously).

    I suspect you did NOT hit the limit because Aperture Vaults are actually folders that contain files smaller than the 2GB limit. This is just an educated guess, I may be wrong.

    I dont know where you read that but I'm almost 100% sure no "new version" of FAT32 has been released. Even if they did release a new version the ONE improvement they would make is increasing max file size.

    The file size limit for FAT32 is 4gb.

    And if the file is already written to the disk then I highly doubt there is an issue. If it was over 4gb is shouldnt even have been able to write it to disk.

    Deal looks good to me too. I bought the AData 4GB set about a couple of weeks ago for 55. Works perfectly in my MBP and I even managed to sell my old 2GB for 40.

    Back when I used to build my high-end PC gaming rigs, I used G-Skill many times; it was awesome ram, very over-clockable and nice bang for the buck over other pricy brands like Corsair. I'd highly recommend it to anyone... :)

    CL 4 in Mac?

    I am considering the same thing. THe faster letency 4 version.

    But I wonder why G skill lists this only as PC memory and not Mac memory. They only list their CL5 module as Mac memory.

    Anyone understand why this is?

    "Mac memory" is probably tested, or just a marketing scheme.

    I have the G.Skill CL4 in my SR macbook pro. Works fine and according to geekbench i have consistently higher scores in memory compared to other 4gb Macbook pros. (I even beat those whose overall score is better than mine...)

    15 dollars is not much.

    You can see my review on newegg's site.

    I should have a 5 egg review there as well. I've had the RAM since December.

Site to determine the value of my G5 PowerPC

    Today I was roaming the MR forums. (Slow day at work and I was in just about every forum before I went home) and I ran across a mention of a site that will calculate the value of any older Apple computer by selecting from a pull down menu the type of processor, amount of memory, HD size, what drive (superdrive, CD, DVD), and a few other details about your mac. It then gives you how much your computer is currently worth based on your setup. I have searched all night to find that reference and can't. Can anyone help me out?

    I've used that site but I can't remember what it is. I just searched online and in my history, if I come across it I'll edit this. Whatever it is it's a great site though, gives accurate values and all.

Stay Schemin’

In the words of the sage Rick Ross “F*** it I don’t wanna go to court”. This is a sentiment felt by many especially myself as my impending court date on the 6 of May grows steadily nearer.

Gotta admire my license while I still have it

Gotta admire my license while I still have it

Luckily I’m not going to court for anything similar to Ross. I still have a lot riding on this. Though failure to dim and carrying too many passengers seems like a minor misdemeanors, the status of my license depends on this.

Though it is my driving license that is at stake, I risk losing my  motorcycle endorsement as well because if I have restrictions on my drivers license the BMV will refuse to recognize my endorsement and that I have passed my motorcycle safety course.

This is defiantly one of those situations where hindsight is 20/20, I likely should have listened to my parents’ rules and because of my disobedience I almost certainly lost a critical battle. For now i’m forbidden from driving or riding any vehicle. It might be a long struggle but this loss will certainly limit my range and my rights as a teenager.

This could not becoming at a worse time. The Tomos moped just sold, and the purchase of the DR125 is inevitable. For the first time in my recent memory I have been enjoying the weather, it has been warm and sunny out.  It is a hard thought to think that I might not be able to spend this spring enjoying the sun and breeze in Ohio on the back of a motorcycle.

I was undeniably lucky because I know very few teenagers besides myself, whose parents trust them to own and operate a motorcycle on the road. At this point I just have to hope the judge rules in my favor and lets me off with a slap on the wrist. If not this blog might become quite dull quite quickly.

Youth is Running Out

As a little kid I remember seeing fast bikes fly by. I was always impressed and thought those who rode them most have been cool. There was always a certain appeal and respect for men who rode motorcycle. In movies the badass tough guy character can always be seen riding a motorcycle. Sadly the ignorance of my youth is running out.

Popcultures Badass from Walking Dead (

Popcultures Badass from Walking Dead (

After finishing my motorcycle training course I was hit by the inconvenient truth. Not everyone who rides a motorcycle is cool, many people want to learn how to ride just for the badass factor that comes with it. I don’t think I like that. These are the type of people who give motorcyclists a bad name. They often ride without helmets, have loud exhausts and drive irrationally.

As a guy who loves motorcycles this kills me to see. I hate being perceived as this sort of rider anytime I’m out on the bike. I’ll occasionally get dirty looks and rude hand gestures for no reason that I can discern. Instead of the past when a motorcycle would impress girls now it is a sign of idiocracy(If you don’t know the term, watch the movie and you will understand).

After the class I can see that the allure of a motorcycle is no longer as clean and pretty as it seemed. Motorcycles are dangerous vehicles and those who ride them can be dangerous as well. It is worth acknowledging that not all are, so not all are the jerks that are often seen on the road. I hope someday that the image can reverse to the stoic badasses of my childhood, who respected the road and their bikes.

Drive Slow

There is a joy in excellerating quickly. The rush of adrenaline that comes when you pull the throttle down and feel the bike roar underneath you. Wresting to stay on top of the bike.

As fun as riding fast is there is something special about riding slow. Cruising down the road with the sun out and the no real place to go. Companies like Harley Davidson have based their companies off this creating cruiser motorcycles.

After spending the day riding around on the BMW I can say even on a non-cruiser bike just riding around is something unique. In the words of the great orator Kanye West,

“If you’re riding around the city with nowhere to go drive slow homie, live today cause tomorrow you never know”

I’ve been told since I started riding that the most important thing to remember when riding is that everyone is out to get you, all drivers are trying to hurt you. So it is important some days to just enjoy the ride, go slow and watch your back.

Don’t Panic

The Bike resting after its first real work out

The Bike resting after its first real work out

A major victory was won in the warmth of last weekend. My odometer has reached 50 miles so I had met the requirements to leave Terrace Park. I knew the weather in Cincinnati would not remain warm for long so I tried to make the most out of the time I had. My odometer now reads 80 miles just from that quick exploration into the depths of Indian Hill.

This journey really reminded me of the true essence of a motorcyle. They are far more than transportation from point A to point B they are a journey, a quest, an adventure.

Riding through the curves, dips, and drives of Indian Hill brings a feeling that can’t really be described. For once any thoughts on my mind are just left in the dust behind me. All I’m able to focus on is the road ahead of me, the cracks and potholes, puddles and mud patches. All That I can hear is the roar of the engine. The wind whipping against my helmet and shoulders as I fight it to stay on the bike.

Motorcycles are not the loved by everyone. (Moms and Teenage girls seem not to be very big fans of them) But if you have ever ridden a motorcycle it is impossible not to see why there are people like me in the world who love them. It is more than a mode of transportation. It is a passion. It is an experience.

Long Days, Cold Nights

Cincinnati has been buffeted by a snow storm. It did result in a day off school but the after math of the storm will put my riding dreams on hold for awhile.

The problem is that even though it is no longer snowing, it is not warm enough for all the snow to melt so we will be stuck in a state of slush for at least a couple days.

The way the weather in Cincinnati works is that each warm sunny day is followed by at least a week of misery. So if I tell myself I can wait till tomorrow to ride, chances are it will drop below freezing as soon as the thought crosses my mind.

During the snowstorm I considered trying to go for a ride. Then I remembered I’m not that dumb. Simple logic could come to the conclusion that a heavy motorcycle + a not heavy rider + inchs of snow = disaster.

I am going to have to bide my time. The tires currently sit with 35 miles on them. That is more than half way to needed benchmark of 50 miles before I can start the fight for my freedom.

The residual snow left over

The residual snow left over

Take A Back Road

The BMW has finally returned to my garage. With its new sprocket and chain it runs like a dream. The biggest change is the new knobby tires and it’s my parents’ last line of defense to keep me from riding. (Besides the inconsistency of Cincy’s weather)

The Bike had slicks on it until the swap so the new tires off less on road grip. The tires also require 50 miles of ride time to be fully broken in. That is what is keeping me inside of Terrace Park right now and off the real roads. After the 50 mile mark is reached my parents will have no more defense to hide behind.

The new tires will actually be an asset. With them I will be able to fly down country roads all over Ohio. I can have the same fun I would dirt biking on a much faster street legal bike.

Being able to ride the bike full time in spring will be a blessing because as time goes by the gas price goes up. The nice thing about motorcycles is their MPG is exponentially better than cars such as an old FJ60 LandCruiser. Hopefully the money I save on gas I will be able to use to bribe my Dad into letting me take the bike on a real trip. The struggle continues.

The new rubber

The new rubber

All at Once

Spring is whipping into full gear. The weather has taken a change for the warmer and it seems like it is only getting better. This means it is almost the perfect time to ride.

My BMW has been in the hands of my trusted mechanic friend Wells, who has been enjoying riding it while my shoulder is mending. We have taken it to the mechanic and diagnosed and addressed the engine issue. We also got an engine tune up and new rear sprocket so it is running like a dream.

This is coming quite fast for my parents. They can’t handle the idea of me on the open road not in a car. This is about to be the biggest challenge I will overcome as a rider. I care too much about motorcycles to let my parents suppress that passion. It will all come down to my ability to balance my freedom with my parents happiness.

I dont want to make any major sacrifices so let the battle begin. Time to start adding blue face paint and charge. “FREEEEEEEEDOMMMM”

Impulse up is about to occur

22 October 2015, GBP/USD

In this pair nothing interesting is going on as well.

The price is obviously in the flat caused by formation of the assumed wave [ii] of the emerging upward impulse.

In this situation, it is hard to say exactly where formation of the mentioned corrective wave will complete. Idecided to take help of a pending buy stop order set on High to avail from beginning of the impulse of growth within development of wave [iii].

Thus, it is safe to enter on gaining momentum.

The momentum up is about to ripen.

Six times a year the teachers at the girl’s school get to nominate a kid from their class for a character counts award based on the six pillars of good character. This month’s pillar was Caring and both the girls ended up winning the award.

Can I tell you that although I was pretty darn proud of the straight A reports cards they brought home a couple of weeks ago, I’m even more proud of this? I like that my girls take care of people and I like that their teachers recognize them for something other than knowing how to recite the multiplication table or the alphabet. I especially like that their teachers came up to me and told me how great the girls are to have in class.

Also? Free Subway gift certificates are nice too.

Description Bidri Papercutter Horse Handle Design - 7 Inches x 1 Inches
Product SKU : TLH-45640 - Horse
Size : 17.8 x 3.048 x 17.78 cm

This bidri papercutter has a horse shaped handle. It is handcrafted by skilled artisans in Bidar, Karnataka.

In the 13th century, a well established Persian technique of inlaying silver and gold onto copper or steel was introduced in India, probably by the followers of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. In the 14th century, Sultan Alauddin Bahamani got his master craftsman Abdullah bin Kaiser to work wit local artisans and they produced a black alloy made from copper and zinc that was used instead of silver and gold. This is how this world famous art form with its striking pure silver inlay came to be called Bidri.

Some Special Facts:

  • Only 99% pure silver is used to make bidri products as it doesn’t lose its lustre with oxidisation
  • Surprisingly, gold inlay is not used for Bidri because the end products aren’t as elegant as silver ones

Overwatch players discover a Dark Souls Easter Egg in the game’s upcoming Eichenwalde map, adding to the growing list of Easter Eggs Blizzard has hidden in the game.

Blizzard is notorious for stuffing its games full of Easter Eggs for dedicated fans to discover, and its hit first-person shooter Overwatch is certainly no exception. The base game has plenty of Easter Eggs itself, including a touching tribute to a deceased fan, but even more have been added post-launch. And it looks like first post-launch map for Overwatch will have its own secrets as well.

Fans testing the new Eichenwalde map in Overwatch have discovered a neat Easter Egg that is a clear nod to Bandai Namco’s popular Dark Souls franchise. In a room opposite of the castle’s entrance on Eichenwalde, players can find a bonfire that looks very similar to the ones scattered about the world in Dark Souls games. For those that don’t know, bonfires serve as save points in Dark Souls.

Dark Souls fans are sure to get a kick out of this little Easter Egg, but fans of other games will have Easter Eggs to look forward to on the Eichenwalde map as well. For example, horns from a Diablo demon can be found mounted on the wall in one of the villager’s homes, and knowing Blizzard, there’s probably plenty of other references that haven’t even been found yet.

Dark Souls Easter Egg Found in Overwatch - Eichenwalde Dark Souls bonfire Overwatch

Some fans assume that Eichenwalde also hides clues to Sombra, who many believe will be the next character added to the game. In the lead-up to the sniper/healer Ana joining Overwatch‘s roster, Blizzard hid references to her throughout the game’s maps, and it’s reasonable to assume that Sombra will get the same treatment, especially in a brand new map like Eichenwalde.

The masses will have a chance to scour Eichenwalde for Sombra clues and other Easter Eggs soon enough. While an exact release date for the map is not known at this time, it’s been suggested that Tuesday, September 6th could see Eichenwalde added to the game. It’s possible that the Eichenwalde update will coincide with the launch of Overwatch‘s second season of Competitive Play, so September should be an especially exciting month for fans of the game.

Moving forward, expect Blizzard to continue to create new maps filled with various pop culture references. And luckily for Overwatch players, all DLC maps and characters will be free, so they won’t have to spend any extra cash to look for new Easter Eggs in future Overwatch maps.

Overwatch is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Starting a chemical business seems so reasonable.  Get some space, build or buy a hood, get the basic stuff- glassware, a rotovap, a vacuum pump, some chemicals, and start to work.  We chemists are able to do the lab stuff.  Basic transformations, separations, purifications, etc.  We exist to do these things.  But transmuting matter is the easy part.

There are many other things to do beyond mere synthesis when you have a company. You have to manage a physical facility. Deal with the state health department to get a haz waste permit so someone will come get your waste.  Bring in the fire department to inspect the place, review your emergency plans and MSDS collection so they can arrive informed of what to expect in an emergency.  You need to find an insurance carrier to provide some basic insurance coverage for the site.

Cash flow is life itself. You need to have cash in reserve to pay for raw materials well in advance of shipping your product out the door.  It’s called working capital.  Figure on carrying the cost of raw materials for several months before you actually get paid for your product.  Once you do get the product shipped, the payment terms clock begins. Most companies offer 30 days net.  This is called commercial credit and do not expect to get it easily from your suppliers.  Of course, your customer will expect 60 days net.

To get commercial credit, you’ll have to get a Dunn & Bradstreet number. Then you’ll have to fill out applications and hope that you can get approximately decent terms. Chemical companies have a certain amount of due diligence to do when starting a new account. They will allow a modest credit initially (eg., $1000 for 30 days net) to protect their financial position. But they also have some responsibility to the safety of the public in regard to where they send hazardous shipments to.  Their nightmare is to send hazardous materials to some 14 year old puke in Cleveland who found a tattered copy of “The Anarchists Cookbook” in his Grandpa’s attic and decided that he wants to make a nitro ester to impress his friends. To avoid this, some locations may be barred for shipment of hazardous materials.  So make sure that your site is zoned properly.

Collecting payment from a customer can go smoothly or very poorly. Customers who do not manange their working capital very well may strapped for cash until they get paid for their product. Accountants in the receivables department refer to their “aging schedule” to keep track of how late various accounts are.  Getting timely payment can be a problem. Some companies will offer terms like a 1 or 2 % discount for payment in 10 days.

One of the most important hires you bring on is the receivables person.  It is best to hire the most savage accounting troll you can find for this position.  Their job is to watch the accounts aging and to call and threaten bodily harm to the slackers who are behind on their payments.  A long list of past due accounts can bring you down like a lead balloon. Take no prisoners. This is life and death.

For a startup, following a synthesis procedure is straightforward.  However, if you need an NMR spectrum, you are going to have to be clever.  You can pay through the nose to have a commercial lab get you one. But if you have to follow a purification by NMR, it can get to be problematic fast. This is where your grad school experience can let you down. By that I mean, an over-reliance on NMR. For a lean & mean startup, you can’t rely on expensive spectroscopic methods to get you to an endpoint. That is, unless you’re flush with money.

Which brings up a philosophical point.  Many people start a business on the assumption that they need venture capitalists to rain money on them to do the startup. If you can possibly avoid it, do so.  If you have to get venture capital, then consider bringing on a professional business manager to deal with it. Venture capitalists are not merely smart, they are cagey.  They exact a large toll on the shares of ownership of a startup they fund.  You can find yourself as the founder being a minority shareholder.  These people serve a valuable purpose in the startup world. But remember, there is a price to be paid for using their money.

Never/Always: Splurge Edition

What people choose to spend their hard-earned money on is really telling of their personalities and priorities. If someone is willing to shell out substantial cash for the iPhone 782 6, but won’t buy two-ply toilet paper, I have some real questions about his or her significance in my life. Which leads me to today’s Never/Always topic:

11 Things on which I’ll ALWAYS Splurge

11 Things on which I’ll NEVER Splurge

These lists are not meant to be agreed upon by all, by the way. But if you’re not willing to splurge on martinis, you may not want to share that information with anyone. It’ll make you look undignified.

1. Guac. There’s a good chance that guac will end up on 50% of my Never/Always lists. Whether the extra $3 at Chipotle or $24 for a family-sized appy at Dos Caminos, count me in.

2. Starbucks. We all have a shameful indulgence. Mine is a $4.29 tall soy chai latte. Every single day. That is $30.03/week, $132.99/month, and $1,565.85/year. Um. I shouldn’t have done that math. I definitely should NOT have done that math.

3. Heels/boots. My version of splurging on shoes is probably still pretty cheap in the eyes of most women, but I’d rather buy a $200 pair of hunter boots or a $100 pair of basic pumps than get a $40 pair that fall apart after one aggressive night in NYC Georgetown Clarendon. Sandals, though? What’s up, Target.

4. Martini liquor. A basic gin and tonic at the local Irish pub? House gin, please. A before[√]during[√]after[√] dinner gin martini slightly dirty with extra olives (preferably bleu cheese-stuffed)? The good stuff, please. I don’t have time to brace myself for fiery pine needles before every swallow.

5. Self-tanner. If I’m forced to wear a strapless dress in a winter wedding or need to prepare for a tropical Christmas vacation, I have no qualms with loading up on Jergen’s Natural Glow. It’s about $10 more than it should be, but I’m not trying to scare off wedding guests or tourists with my pastiness.

6. Shampoo/Conditioner. Pantene Pro-V really does make your hair look like the commercials. Same with Bioceutica, but I’m only fancy enough to use the latter because a family member sends me excellent gift baskets.

7. Airport water bottles. They know that no matter how high they jack the price, everyone is forced to buy water only after they make it through strip searches security. It’s so maddening. I mean, a small price to pay for safety- yes, but charging more than $3 for a bottle of water is outrageous. And still I give in.

8. Work clothes. Business casual style doesn’t change rapidly like the fringe or crop top craze, so I’m going to get myself some double-stretch fancy pants from Banana Republic instead of the wannabes from New York & Co. Again, I know my idea of splurging is probably lame compared to most, but keep in mind that I’m a granny who gives zero flips about name brands.

9. Medicine. Name brands might not be important in my clothing choices, but I’m not getting some generic cold medicine that might not do its job. Ain’t nobody got time for Ebola.

10. Brand new books. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

11. Victoria’s Secret. 5 for $25? Couldn’t pass it up if I tried. Which may be why I have about 175 pairs of underwear.

1. Apps. With all the free apps out there, why would I ever buy something? I also don’t use apps, so this is probably a silly thing to include on this list.

2. Make-up. I know a lot of girls like their Mac or Bare Minerals or all the fancy stuff from Sephora, but take me to the make-up aisle at CVS and I’m good to go. Maybe this is why all my girlfriends look like supermodels when we go out and I’m the bumbling sidekick. I don’t know.

3. Jewelry. I have some gorgeous pieces of pricey jewelry (again, thanks to family members), but statement necklaces and every day earrings are all courtesy of Target and Forever Love. They’re going to break or get lost anyway.

4. Plane seat upgrades. The concept of first class is nice and all, but at the end of the day, I’m still sitting next to strangers and trying not to get caught reading over their shoulders.

5. Sunglasses. Only the most responsible people in the world should buy nice sunglasses.

6. Wine. You might be shocked that wine is on this list. The thing is, even though wine is my best friend, lover, and soulmate all rolled into one, I can find an awesome bottle for $8 or less, so I’m not going to buy a $40 vintage off the shelf. Also, when I want the really nice stuff, I can just turn on the puppy eyes when my dad takes me to dinner. #perksofstillbeingsingle

7. Cable. I survived living by myself for a year with nothing but Hulu. Not even Hulu Plus. Somehow, I managed to get by without talking to myself often or anything weird like that.

self five

8. A fancy car. The amount I care about cars is even less than my interest in Kim Kardashian’s latest selfie.

9. Cool-kid gym memberships. Expensive cardio machines with personal TVs attached to the front actually make me dizzy. I need to be able to look out at the sea of lunks on machines while I’m getting my cardio on, so high class gyms have no appeal, as they only house ellipticals with TVs five inches from my face.

10. Real plants. Decorative plants are beautiful and maybe someday I’ll graduate to a new level of home décor maturity, but I’m just not ready for that kind of commitment.

11. Electronics. I don’t know if you guys see a trend, but I don’t do gadgets. At the current rate, they all become old news within like, three months anyway.

I feel like you just learned a lot about me. My splurge tendencies exposed more than I wanted them to, so let this be a lesson to make wise choices, everyone.

Never Leave (Remix)

Featuring Busta Rhymes, Fabolous

Never Leave (Remix) Lyrics

Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh

[Busta Rhymes]
You got a hotter other than my Copacabana, Mama
You gotta like my dick when I'm loving persona Mama
Always love to get with you whenever
I never leave you, mama holla
How you check me, can you give me the oochie walla walla
Swallow a couple shots of Jag and make a dolla
Little mama in the crib with a poke to complete your scalla
Talk about an example of a shorty that might need to prowla
Got a chick in the bug, it come with a little shoppahora
Take you to the Caribbean down the Carolina
To the Mediterranean and enjoy the water
When the role is wacky, you keepin' me stocky
Takin' care of this super Mike
When you check on your Papi
When you're right baby, hug me with all your might
And put it on, cause you know it's on tonight
Break up or make up, you know we I'm gone

Never ever wanna let you go
Tell me what you're feeling, cause I want to know
If you're around, you know I'm down
I'll be that girl that keeps you around
I'm only here, just because
It feels good, say enough to keep you right
Believe your love
I never thought you'd be the one that make me shine
Brighter than the sun
There ain't no ups and downs
No winning out, you're here right now

If you want me to stay, I'll never leave
If you want me to stay, we'll always be
If you want me to stay, love endlessly
If you want me to stay, if you want me to stay
And I believe you

Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh

I ain't never gon' believe
Whoever gonna leave
It feels so good on my arm
Somethin like the baseball jacket with a leather on
The sleeve
Or a flooded time piece that cost seven hundred g's
You lovin', hate the type that love everyone to see
Baby girl, go down like she never wanna breathe (uh oh)
I got a playa right, cause this kid don't usually let them stay tonight
And when I know you wrong, I say it right
And when I wanna say no, I say I might

Cause it's real talk, you know it ain't another
And anytime I'm gone, you know I'm thinkin of you
And anytime you need, you know I got you covered
You know none of the others do what I does
I keep your rocks bluer than hers
Keep your shoes newer than hers
And I do it because, uh

What Lies Beneath

Produced By Q-Tip

Album Soundbombing III

What Lies Beneath Lyrics

Shocka called me up to do this thing for Soundbombing
And I figured that I'd do it cause it wasn't no harmin'
Shine a little bit in case somebody was forgettin'
About that Queens motherfucker, y'all need to take cover
I'mma take position and y'all best to take sha-hida
Cause the shit that I spit is hot as hellfire, hotter
Sendin' this to Cross, Meniski, and Bay Vigi
Doug, Pretty Tone and the one that shoot the vidi
Y'all stay in my heart, while I dabble with the charts
Fuck the fame and my aim find the clarity in art
This cowards got it once cause he kept his lips zippin'
Now he in the news and he wettin' and I'm livin'
This Southern cowards life who I used to do my clues with
Subliminally this is me, I try not to assume shit
Let's not forget the king of Internet
Will assume another name while he tarnishes ya rep
And calls you Ziggy Starters but who the major charm
Who starts to elevate out the reach of his arm

[* Short Pause *]

It's a great day fuck it
Ya probably hear the bundles overflowin' out of Ruckers
The name is Abstract don't confuse without description
Cause you lil' gremlins envy so just cut the fuckin' weak shit
Ride off in the night, V8 lost power
From a soundbomb killin' the lone ranger drillin'
You eager with ya mouth then just be a big proactive
Ya actin' with ya heart then start preachin' with ya fatness
The clear voyage psychic MC is a minion
You cornered and you bagged in so where you gon' run to
Used to get my mother's switches now I grant her wishes
Never superstitious breakin' mirrors with the pitches
Ya man is insane with that do-do on his chain
Funkin' up the joint he pain, that ain't a bling that's a blang
Besides can he rap about a real life vision
Success lies a struggle that's what most of y'all are missin'
Got so many sons I wish I had as many ones
Clown nigga's raps get converted into guns
Illuminati president it's a government official
They dogs and they henchmen is comin' out to get you
The age of Aquarius, the change is goin' on
We gotta keep strivin' movin' on

Ya dead wrong, ya wrong, ya know ya wrong
(Ya know ya wrong for that)
(Now why ya gotta go and do that)
Ya dead wrong, ya wrong, ya know ya wrong
And you know, you know you are ooh
And you know, you know you are

SRC offers sexual violence workshop to all students

Katy Scott
News Editor

The Glasgow University Students’ Representative Council (SRC) recently coordinated a workshop centred on preventing sexual violence alongside Glasgow Caledonian University and Rape Crisis Scotland. For the first time, the workshop is being offered to all students at the University of Glasgow.

The training will be taking place twice a day every Monday in November. It will be delivered by the 25 students from the University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University who were trained in September, as reported by The Glasgow Guardian. The student trainers took part in a five day intensive course which equipped them to lead an informal and informative discussion on preventing sexual violence on campus.

The student-led sessions cover topics such as consent, bystander intervention, and building a supportive community.

So far, the workshop has been delivered to Freshers’ Helpers across the four student bodies and has been received positively.

Gender Equality Officer at the SRC and one of the workshop coordinators, Thaïs Ramdani, said: “The Sexual Violence Prevention workshops came from a working group set up between the SRC and Glasgow Caledonian University, and pushed forward by the student initiative Let’s Talk. It came as a way to efficiently tackle issues surrounding sexual violence – in any form – within the university, and beyond.

“The training was first delivered to Freshers’ Helper as they were deemed to be the first point of contact of incoming students, and it is now being opened to the whole of the university. The aim of the workshop is to inform people about what sexual violence is, what consent is, and how it all relates to the law. Not only that, a part of the training is dedicated to bystander intervention, and how to ensure the safety of both others and ourselves.

“I do think that the training will offer a greater awareness of the issues surrounding sexual violence, and ways in which the whole student community can come together in order to tackle those issues.”

Peru: Government Renews Concession Agreement with Telephone Operator

The blog Globalizado [es], by Global Voices in Spanish editor Juan Arellano, collects different reactions following the announcement of the renewal of the concession agreement with Telefónica for an additional period of 18 years and 10 months. The government highlights [es] that “they have managed to triple the benefits of the negotiation” and Telefónica del Perú, through a release, notes that “ they finally agree upon what the Ministry of Transports and Communicationes demanded, in spite of unprecedented harsh conditions”.

But there are also dissenting voices. In the National Congress, some people are asking the Minister for an explantion [es] for this “embarrassing and illegal decision”. Associations such as CONACUP (Peru National Council of Association of Consumers and Users) declare [es] the renegotiation process hasn't been all the crystal clear if could have been. The blog de DN Consultores points out [es] several aspects they disagree with, such as: “The terms of the agreement exacerbate the concentration in the telecomnunications market”.

On Twitter, the hashtag #TelefonicaNuncaMas [Telefonica never again] collects opinions from Peruvian netizens.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Gnostic Warrior host Moe Bedard for almost two hours recently. During our time together, we discussed countless Masonic topics revolving around the teachings of Albert Pike’s book Morals and Dogma (1871). If you would like to listen to this broadcast, please follow the link below. I would also like to thank Moe for being so generous with his time; he was very kind and a great host. Needless to say, he demonstrated incredible knowledge about the ancient mysteries.

GMG Tech Talk- Don’t Fall For The Megapixel Hype

It seems camera manufacturers are in a race to offer cameras with more and more megapixels.

Here is an excellent definition of megapixels and when they count and when they don’t-

Trying to Define Megapixels?

What is more important than megapixels is sensor size.  the sensor is what collects the light at the other end of your lens and the larger the sensor size the more light can be collected and presumably the better your photos will be.

Here is a sensor size chart-

from wikipedia

Most point and shoot cameras today have sensors that are 1/2.3  APS-C sized sensors like the ones found on your average DSLR are much larger and image quality in low light situations are noticeably better.

So when shopping for a camera you can go with a larger DSLR for the very best images or a smaller one with an above average sized sensor that will still fit in your pocket like the one I recommend, the Canon Powershot s95.  I think at $369 it is the very best combination of size/price/quality.

Do Not get lured in by megapixels when shopping for a camera.  the Mrs’ Nikon D40 only has 6 megapixels (very few compared to todays 12-18 megapixel cameras) but gets photos like these-

If you ever want a camera recommendation let me know and send me an email.  I’ll ask a few questions at to what you will be using it for and give you a recommendation.

Recently on Mashable, highly respected tech blogger Charlie white writes about two cameras in which he pits head to head to decide which is best for a blogger.  I conclude that neither are great options.  Read the article for yourself and look for my comments at the end-

Goregirl’s TOP 10 Favourite Horror Films From 1961

IMDB listed 149 titles for 1961; 48 of those were full length feature films. I do not include shorts, documentaries, made for TV movies or TV series on these lists. Like 1960 there were several television shows and their individual episodes listed that included Twilight Zone, Thriller, Way Out, and Great Ghost Tales. I seen just 26 of the 48 films from this year. Not only did I see fewer films from 1961 than any other year of the decade, but it has decidedly been my least favourite year. Only one film received a coveted perfect 5/5 rating. One film received a 4.5/5, four films received a 4/5 and the rest of the top ten are films I rated 3.5/5! I really had to reach to come up with a top ten. Granted a 3.5/5 (7/10) isn’t a bad rating. I certainly liked a film I rated 3.5/5 and would recommend it, but it also means I found it to be flawed. There were four other films that received consideration for 1961; Gorgo, What a Carve Up!, Santo Vs. The Infernal Men and Ghost of Oiwa.

Directed By: Alfred Vohrer

I mentioned the Krimi film movement in my review for Circus of Fear. Although Circus of Fear hails from the UK I mentioned Krimi because it was based on the writing of Edgar Wallace. The Krimi film movement is German made films based on the work of crime writer Edgar Wallace. There were quite a few Krimi films made through the sixties and I think The Dead Eyes of London is one of the best. Wealthy men are being murdered and a home for the blind may be behind the killings. Blind men? Crazy! The story is pretty wild and it serves up more than its share of fast-paced thrills not to mention some rather impressive violence for 1961. The Dead Eyes of London is chocked full of atmosphere and there are moments that are quite chilling. There are some lulls here and there but overall the film keeps a steady pace. From its excellent opening scene to its exciting finale the film kept me intrigued. There are plenty of bizarre and eccentric characters particularly notable was Reverend Paul Dearborn played by Dieter Borsche. The Dead Eyes of London is solid entertainment and is a violent and exciting horror crime thriller.

Directed By: William Castle

Despite Homicidal’s similarities to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, the film is pure William Castle. Like all his films previously, Castle includes his trademark gimmick. Castle offered a money back guarantee for those too frightened to see Homicidal’s shocking climax. Just before the climax a clock appears on the screen. If you leave before the clock runs out, you will get your money back. BUT, you’ll have to stand in the “Coward’s Corner” until the other patrons are let out of the theatre. This is particularly hilarious since “the twist” is so frightfully obvious! Despite the painfully obvious twist the film kept me engaged throughout. An attractive blond woman checks into a hotel under the name Miriam Webster, offers a bellhop $2000 to marry her and ends up stabbing a justice of the peace! We learn the woman’s real name is Emily and she is the caretaker for a mute wheelchair bound woman named Helga. Miriam Webster is in fact the name of the half-sister of Emily’s employer Warren. The plot thickens when we learn Warren is about to come into a large fortune. The film has a lively pace and is even surprisingly dark at times with its themes of child abuse and sexuality. Joan Marshall is fascinating to watch as the callous Emily who slowly unravels during the course of the film. Emily is not particularly likable with her hissy fits, erratic spats of anger not to mention a few rather weird and awkward moments but her theatrics are a great deal of fun to watch! Homicidal is an entertaining thriller that despite the obvious “twist”, still has a few surprises and Joan Marshall’s deliciously over-the-top performance as Emily is worth the price of admission!

Directed By: John Gilling

The Shadow of the Cat is noted as being made by BHP Productions, but was made at Hammer Film’s Bray Studios. It also used several of Hammer’s film crew, including director John Gilling (Plague of the Zombies). I have no idea if this was a joint venture between the two, but it certainly has those classic Hammer attributes. Beautiful sets, great costumes, a pitch-perfect mood and great performances make The Shadow of the Cat very watchable. Although not noted in the writing credits The Shadow of the Cat is clearly a Poe-inspired tale. The Shadow of the Cat even begins with the reading of a passage from Poe’s The Raven. Walter Venable with the help of the maid and butler knocks off his wife Ella for her inheritance. The only witness is Ella’s beloved cat Tabitha. But Tabitha is no ordinary house cat and does her part to insure the guilty pay for their crimes. We know right from the start who committed the crime and who is exacting the revenge but there are still some surprises in the plot.  Tabitha is an adorable girl that looks like a pretty happy well-fed feline. She could not possibly strike fear in someone’s heart! Unless of course that someone is guilty of a crime. The relentless Tabitha terrorizes the guilty and freaks the hell out of them! The police and Beth (Ella’s favourite niece) are completely perplexed by the household’s unreasonable fear of Tabitha. The Shadow of the Cat is a well-paced, esthetically pleasing, charming film with strong performances and a most enjoyable story.

Directed By: Benito Alazraki

I’ve seen quite a few horror films hailing from Mexico during this journey through the 60s. Mexico had quite an active film industry through the decade. Unfortunately just about every last one of these films is dubbed, and quite badly I might add. I could not help but chuckle at some of the really over-the-top voice work in Curse of the Doll People. Nonetheless the film looks good and has an effective atmosphere with some unforgettable moments. The film is about a group of men who are cursed by a voodoo priest after stealing a ritual idol. The killers are dolls with needles! Well, not dolls so much as midgets wearing masks that look like their victims! What a trip. It was actually quite creepy! The film is reasonably paced, although it does have a wee bit of unnecessary filler but man there are some spectacular moments that easily makes Curse of the Doll People worth a watch.

Directed By: Curtis Harrington

Besides featuring a very young Dennis Hopper I knew absolutely nothing about Night Tide. Night Tide turned out to be a delightful surprise! It is a lovely, sad, haunting film. The film is heavily character-driven and slow paced but drenched in atmosphere. I adored the film’s crumbling beach-side carnival backdrop and its eerie use of the sea it overlooks. The beautiful old carousel, the tacky attractions, Captain Murdock’s amazing collection of trinkets and an appealing score that compliments it all perfectly. Hopper plays Johnny Drake a sailor on leave who falls in love with a mysterious young woman named Mora who performs as a mermaid in the local carnival. Possibly Hopper’s most subtle performance and he is likable and empathetic as Johnny. Equally endearing is Linda Lawson who plays Mora. Night Tide is a beautiful, mysterious and enthralling film I found very appealing.

Directed By: Seth Holt

You can bet there will be plenty more Hammer Films to make these sixties lists! Hell there is even one more on this list. Hammer Films ruled the 1960s! Taste of Fear is a lesser known film for the studio that is a well-executed horror-mystery-thriller. A wheel-chair bound Penny Appleby comes to live with her estranged father and step-mother only to find her father away on business. The young woman believes she seen her father’s corpse in a storage shed, but when they go to investigate there is nothing there. When the appearances continue to occur she begins questioning the possibility of foul play. An overly friendly stepmom, a suspicious doctor who makes daily house calls, an eager to help chauffeur and of course the neurotic wheelchair-bound Penny are all part of the mystery. There are clues throughout Taste of Fear’s story which twists and turns leading up to an excellent finale. Admittedly, not all the revelations are a surprise, but there is one in particular I did not see coming. Just the same, it is a well-rolled out plot and they keep things interesting. Christopher Lee is quite young in Taste Of Fear and only has a supporting role as Doctor Pierre Gerrard but contributes nicely. The cast is excellent especially Susan Strasberg who plays Penny Appleby. Taste of Fear has beautiful black and white photography, a great mood, strong performances and is a pretty great little mystery.

Directed By: Jerzy Kawalerowicz

Mother Joan of the Angels is loosely based on the 1634 case in Loudun, France of alleged devil possession of the Ursuline nuns. Aldous Huxley wrote his book The Devils of Loudun in the 1950’s also based on this story; which Ken Russell based his 1971 film The Devils. Mother Joan of the Angels just barely qualifies as horror, and isn’t remotely exploitative, so don’t come here expecting naughty Nunsploitation. Father Suryn is sent to replace a denounced priest who was burned at the stake and deal with a convent of allegedly devil-possessed nuns. Father Suryn soon meets Mother Joan and her demons and to save her he will ultimately question his lifetime of faith. Mother Joan of the Angels is above all else a character study. Lucyna Winnicka is stunning as Mother Joan. Her possession scenes are inspired! Winnicka gives a realistic performance never going over the top. Mieczyslaw Voit is both empathetic and intense as Father Suryn. Visually, Mother Joan of the Angels is utterly stunning. Its symmetrical and strikingly stark style is a feast for the eyes. Lacking any special effects the story is relayed by the visuals and the strong performances from the two leads. Mother Joan of the Angels is a gorgeously filmed, well-acted character study though barely qualifying as a horror film it is nonetheless a compelling watch.

Directed By: Roger Corman

The Pit and the Pendulum is another Roger Corman/Vincent Price outing based on the work of Edgar Allan Poe. According to IMDB Roger Corman produced an insane 401 films and directed 56 of those titles. Although Corman has producer credits right up to 2012, it was his 50s and 60s directorial efforts for which he will always have a fond place in my heart. Francis Barnard travels to Spain after learning his sister Elizabeth has died. Elizabeth’s husband Don Medina is the son of a notoriously barbaric Spanish inquisitor and lives in the family’s isolated castle. Francis is suspicious of Don Medina’s story that Elizabeth has died of a blood disease and much to Don Medina’s chagrin insists on staying at the castle until he uncovers the truth. The Francis Barnard character is probably my only real bone to pick. John Kerr is incredibly dull in this role. The rest of the cast however is brilliant; Vincent Price, Antony Carbone, Luana Anders and Barbara Steele are all top notch! The Pit and the Pendulum has a well-written suspenseful story that climbs steadily to its fantastic climax. The superb sets and props (especially that pendulum device!), the lush colors, its gorgeous gothic vibe, strong performances and an enthralling story all make for an entertaining watch.

Directed By: Terence Fisher

This is the second (3rd if you want to include Shadow of the Cat) Hammer Film to make the list for 1961. This is The Curse of the Werewolf’s second appearance on a dungeon list, formerly appearing in the number five spot of my ten favourite werewolf films. We begin our tale with a most interesting origin for our werewolf (which I will leave for you to discover on your own). Leon’s mother died in childbirth and Leon is adopted by the kindly Don Alfredo Corledo. Leon’s lycanthropy is discovered when he is young and on the advice of a priest the boy is showered with love and attention. Love indeed seems to be the answer as Leon becomes a grown man ready to head out in to the world. All goes swimmingly well for Leon who finds true love with Cristina the daughter of the owner of the wine cellar where he works. That is until he is denied the love of Cristina and he starts to get that taste for blood. The Curse of the Werewolf is a unique entry in the werewolf sub-genre. It employs some of the classic werewolf film elements you would expect but adds many of its own interesting touches that make it stand out. It is typical Hammer with its always impressive sets, props and costumes. Beautifully and inventively filmed by Terence Fisher and perfectly acted particularly by the excellent Oliver Reed. I loved the werewolf makeup they give Reed who is incredibly likable and empathetic as Leon. The Curse of the Werewolf is a beautiful, mesmerizing and mysterious treat!

Directed By: Jack Clayton

The Innocents is based on Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw. Miss Giddens is hired as a governess for two orphaned children living in an isolated estate in the country. She comes to believe the estate is haunted by the former governess and her lover whom are intent on possessing the children. The Innocents is as much a psychological trip as it is a ghost story. Its story is meticulously written and its seemingly simple plot is richly layered. The ending literally left me silent. Bloody hell is that an ending! Miss Giddens is a young, naive and inexperienced governess. She is a proper lady, seemingly reasonable with a gentle disposition who loves children. Miss Giddens personality traits are what make the events of the film such a mind blow. Deborah Kerr is outstanding as Miss Gibbons and gives a sublime performance that left me in awe. The Innocents is an intelligent, intriguing, brilliantly acted, beautifully filmed, dark and haunting masterpiece.

  1. A nice selection of films. I’ve seen all ten films,but for several,it’s been a long time ago. I do recall enjoying them at the time. Very happy to see Curse of the Doll People and The Dead Eyes of London make the list. Both are favorites. Love The Pit and the Pendulum,The Innocents,Homicidal and The Curse of the Werewolf. Also glad that Gorgo almost made it since that is the first monster movie I ever saw on the big screen. Another great banner,too! I’m enjoying these lists and reviews a ton!

    • I bet Gorgo was a lot of fun in the theatre! I rented a William Castle set from the library some time back and watched several of his films and the documentary Spine-Tingler. Great set actually, wouldn’t mind owning that one! It sure made me wish I had gotten a chance to see a Castle film in the theatre!

      • Seeing Gorgo in the theater was a blast! I revisit that film every so often. Same here on William Castle,by the time I got see a Castle film at the local bijou,I Saw What You Did,the gimmicks were over,but William Castle is one of my favorite directors. I love that documentary about him.

  2. Touche. Outstanding arguments. Keep up the great effort.

  3. Great list. Nice to see a strong selection of UK films. I haven’t watched The Innocents in years… I really should watch it again.

    • There was a crapload of UK made films from the 60s! The Innocents was something else! There is no way I could appreciate The Innocents as a child the way I can as an adult. There is some heavy shit going on in that story!

Jupiter’s X-ray Aurora is 100 times more energetic than Earth’s Aurora Borealis

Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, astronomers show that solar storms trigger Jupiter’s intense ‘Northern Lights’ by generating a new X-ray aurora that is eight times brighter than normal and hundreds of times more energetic than Earth’s aurora borealis.

It is the first time that Jupiter’s X-ray aurora has been studied when a giant storm from the Sun has arrived at the planet. The dramatic findings complement NASA’s Juno mission this summer which aims to understand the relationship between the two biggest structures in the solar system – the region of space controlled by Jupiter’s magnetic field (i.e. its magnetosphere) and that controlled by the solar wind.

“There’s a constant power struggle between the solar wind and Jupiter’s magnetosphere. We want to understand this interaction and what effect it has on the planet. By studying how the aurora changes, we can discover more about the region of space controlled by Jupiter’s magnetic field, and if or how this is influenced by the Sun. Understanding this relationship is important for the countless magnetic objects across the galaxy, including exoplanets, brown dwarfs and neutron stars,” explained lead author and PhD student at UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory, William Dunn.

The Sun constantly ejects streams of particles into space in the solar wind. When giant storms erupt, the winds become much stronger and compress Jupiter’s magnetosphere, shifting its boundary with the solar wind two million kilometers through space. The study found that this interaction at the boundary triggers the high energy X-rays in Jupiter’s Northern Lights, which cover an area bigger than the surface of the Earth.

Published today in the Journal of Geophysical Research – Space Physics, the discovery comes as NASA’s Juno spacecraft nears Jupiter for the start of its mission this summer. Launched in 2011, Juno aims to unlock the secrets of Jupiter’s origin, helping us to understand how the solar system, including Earth, formed.

Book Review — Early Christian Thinkers

Originally published in the Expository Times, this collection of essays edited by Paul Foster explores the life and thought of twelve pre-Nicene Christians. Many of these thinkers you would expect to see, such as Origen and Irenaeus. However, some of them may surprise you, such as Perpetua.

One of the strengths is that the variety of authors results in a less formulaic presentation from essay to essay. However, this also results in unevenness in the writing. Some of the essays were page-turners, while others were a chore to finish. Fortunately, there are only a few that were in the latter category.

Another nice feature of these articles is the juxtaposition of introduction and scholarly dialogue. Many articles give a clear statement of established facts, but also follow up by advancing scholarly opinions on more recent academic debates or textual analysis. For example, Rick Rogers proposes that Theophilus of Antioch’s To Autolycus is more protreptic than apologetic in nature, and Paul Foster discusses the textual criticism surrounding the work of Tatian.

I was also pleased to see that many of the authors showed a connection between these ancient writers and contemporary thought, such as Denis Minns’s observation from Irenaeus that “written documents do not carry their own tools for interpretation with them” (42). That’s a good word for those who fail to realize that any interpretation (of Scripture or any other communication) relies on an interpretive framework.

I was excited to see the Perpetua included in the list. The introduction states, “Her inclusion among other figures is not due to the attempt to embrace the feminist agenda for its own sake, or to feign some other type of ‘trendiness'” (xv) and acknowledges that she “may not have been the greatest theologian” (xvi). However, Sara Parvis’s essay failed to convince me that Perpetua belonged in this collection of significant thinkers. There was just too much supposition and extraction necessary to make a solid case for Perpetua as a thinker.

All things considered, Early Christian Thinkers is a welcome contribution for those interested in a more scholarly introduction to the lives and legacies of a handful of early Christian theologians who have left their mark on the church and her theology.

Review for Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre, Fords, NJ, USA

Rating: 5 stars

Alborada is a wonderful organization that works tremendously hard to educate the community about culture and the power of dance. Their shows are thoughtfully choreographed and beautifully performed, each telling a story that captures, enlightens, and entertains. Aside from their shows, Alborada also participates in many community events, spreading awareness and excitement for Spanish dance to people of all ages and walks of life. The classes offered by various members of the company throughout New Jersey are welcoming of dancers at all levels, inspiring even the most apprehensive participant to succumb to the joys of music and movement. I am certainly grateful to Alborada for being a true inspiration to me for over six years and I look forward to enjoying all their future projects.

The music within…..

I often wonder, what would life be without music? It would certainly be a very quiet place. Music is, in many ways the fabric of our lives. It is something which gives definition to a society and culture. It is an indication of how things are, and a view of where the society is headed. Music can be a way of delivering messages, a poetic art or simply a source of entertainment. Continue reading “The music within…..”

I believe all of us are connected to the brand in some or the other manner.  Our association and love for Maggi presents a rather nostalgic and a largely youthful side of our lives.  Maggi was something which connected the youngsters. As teenagers, a pot full of boiling water and a magical tastemaker were enough to get even the clumsiest of us into our kitchen in our boxers. Continue reading “Two minutes of sheer mayhem….”

Helicopter parenting and college-age depression/anxiety

Recent studies suggests that kids with overinvolved parents and rigidly structured childhoods suffer psychological blowback in college.

via Helicopter parenting is increasingly correlated with college-age depression and anxiety..

My take: I see huge implications on the immediate-future workforce. The kinds of post-secondary students referenced in the book have poor executive function and critical thinking skills. What I see are larger implications for the longer-term future as these traits get passed on to the next generation. So the article raises the question about what could be done to stem this tide.

I wasn’t raised by helicopter parents, but inherited anxiety issues left me afraid to fail for a long time.  Now, it’s a lot less of a concern because I see failure as part of the “new ideas” cycle. So many people forget that failure is also learning so we do our kids (and, by extension, our learners) a huge disservice by not allowing them to fail (safely). If you’re afraid to fail, you won’t take risks. Risk-taking is part of Innovation. Without innovation, we see people living in the “we’ve always done it that way” world and, well,  we know what that’s like.

Let’s start by enabling safe-fail environments and some reinforcement of executive function and critical thinking. We might be able to get a head-start in the workplace while the Higher Ed institutions try the same things at their end.
