No. 2003-835

Allen Nadler

Argued: June 10, 2004

Opinion Issued: July 15, 2004

Peter W. Heed, attorney general (N. William Delker, senior assistant attorney general, on the brief and orally), for the State.

Shuchman, Krause & Vogelman, P.L.L.C., of Exeter (Lawrence A. Vogelman and Joel T. Shaw on the brief, and Mr. Vogelman orally), for the defendant.

DALIANIS, J. The defendant, Allen Nadler, brings this interlocutory appeal, see Sup. Ct. R. 8, from an order of the Superior Court (Burling, J.) denying his pretrial motion to dismiss two felony counts of engaging in "unnatural and lascivious" acts, see RSA 579:9 (1955) (repealed 1973). We affirm and remand.

The defendant was indicted on April 18, 2003, for acts that took place in 1967, thirty-six years prior to the indictments, when the defendant tutored the alleged victim, Edward H., who was then thirteen years old. At the time of the alleged incidents, the defendant was a student at Dartmouth College.

Following his graduation from Dartmouth in 1967, the defendant left New Hampshire; he has not been a resident of New Hampshire since that time. Although Edward H. told his parents about the alleged incidents at the time they allegedly occurred, his parents did not believe him. Edward H. did not report these alleged incidents to the proper authorities until February 2002, which resulted in the instant indictments. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss the indictments, which was denied by the trial court, and this interlocutory appeal followed.

The defendant argues that the prosecution is barred by the statute of limitations in effect at the time the defendant allegedly committed the illegal actions. See RSA 603:1 (1955) (repealed 1977). He also argues that this prosecution violates his right to due process under the State and Federal Constitutions. N.H. CONST. pt. I, art. 14; U.S. CONST. amends. V, XIV. Finally, he argues that the tolling provision of RSA 603:1 is unconstitutional as applied to him.

The defendant first argues that the State is barred from prosecuting him because of the six-year statute of limitations. See RSA 603:1. He contends that because he was not a "party charged" at the time he left the State, the nonresident tolling provision of former RSA 603:1 does not apply.

Because resolution of this issue requires statutory interpretation, which is a matter of law, we review the trial court’s decision de novo. In matters of statutory interpretation, we are the final arbiter of the intent of the legislature as expressed in the words of a statute considered as a whole. We begin our analysis by looking to the language of the statute itself. If the language is plain and unambiguous, then we need not look beyond it for further indication of legislative intent. State v. Merriam, 150 N.H. 548, 549 (2004).

Former RSA 603:1 stated:

Indictments and prosecutions for offenses punishable by fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, shall be found or begun within one year, and all other informations and indictments, except for treason, murder, rape, arson, robbery or burglary, shall be filed or found within six years after the offense is committed; but the time during which the party charged was not usually and publicly resident within this state shall not be reckoned as part of the time aforesaid.

The defendant contends that by "utilizing the specific term ‘party charged’ the legislature intended to target individuals who had been formally accused of a crime at the time that they escaped the jurisdiction." The defendant further asserts that when he "left New Hampshire in 1967, he was not a ‘party charged,’ nor would he be for another thirty-six years," meaning that the tolling provision of RSA 603:1 "never became operative before the six-year statute of limitations expired in 1973." Finally, the defendant contends that the statute is only meant to apply to a person "who, after being accused of a crime, left the jurisdiction and went into hiding to escape prosecution . . . ."

The State argues that "[u]nder the plain language of RSA 603:1, the statute of limitations stops running once formal charges are lodged against the defendant"; thus, "there would be no need for the tolling provision if the defendant’s argument were accepted." The State points to the language in the statute stating, "Indictments and prosecutions for offenses . . . shall be filed or found within six years after the offense is committed."

We agree with the State, because, as the State argues, "[i]f the party left New Hampshire after formal charges were made against the person, the statute of limitations would already have stopped running as a result of the fact that" the charges would already have been "filed or found." Thus, if the defendant, as a "party charged," were to flee the State, the tolling provision would not apply because the statute of limitations would have already stopped running.

Furthermore, RSA 603:1 plainly states that the six-year statute of limitations will be tolled if the "‘party charged’ was not usually or publicly resident within this State." (Emphasis added.) It is clear that the legislature contemplated, by the use of the past tense, consideration of a party’s absence from the State prior to that person having been charged with the offense. Thus, there is no support within the plain and unambiguous language of the statute for the defendant’s argument that the statute is meant to apply to those defendants who flee the jurisdiction to avoid the prosecution of a crime. Rather, it is clear that the legislature meant to toll the statute of limitations for persons who leave the State after having committed a crime, but prior to having been charged with that crime. A defendant’s motive for leaving the State appears nowhere within the statute and, therefore, is irrelevant.

The defendant next argues that even if the tolling provision of former RSA 603:1 applies to his case, "the thirty-six year pre-indictment delay substantially prejudiced [his] ability to mount a defense." He argues that the delay violated his State and Federal Constitutional rights to due process. N.H. CONST. pt. I, art. 14; U.S. CONST. amends. V, XIV.

We first address the defendant’s claims under the State Constitution, and cite federal opinions for guidance only. State v. Ball, 124 N.H. 226, 231-33 (1983).

"[A]pplicable statutes of limitations protect against the prosecution’s bringing stale criminal charges against [a] defendant." United States v. Gouveia, 467 U.S. 180, 192 (1984). Nonetheless, the Due Process Clause has a limited role to play in protecting against oppressive delay. State v. Varagianis, 128 N.H. 226, 228 (1986). The United States Supreme Court has held that the Fifth Amendment "requires the dismissal of an indictment, even if it is brought within the statute of limitations, if the defendant can prove that the Government’s delay in bringing the indictment was a deliberate device to gain an advantage over him and that it caused him actual prejudice in presenting his defense." Gouveia, 467 U.S. at 192; see also United States v. Stokes, 124 F.3d 39, 47 (1st Cir. 1997), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 1139 (1998).

We have recognized that an arbitrary delay between the time of an offense and the arrest or indictment of a defendant may result in a denial of due process. State v. Philibotte, 123 N.H. 240, 244 (1983). We have held that to demonstrate a due process violation, a defendant must first show that actual prejudice resulted from the delay, and the trial court must then balance the resulting prejudice against the reasonableness of the delay. Varagianis, 128 N.H. at 228. We have not yet addressed whether the defendant need prove, under the State Constitution, that the State’s delay constituted a "deliberate device to gain an advantage over him," Gouveia, 467 U.S. at 192. See State v. Weeks, 137 N.H. 687, 697-98 (1993).

We need not decide this issue, however, because the defendant has not shown that the delay was caused by the State. As the defendant concedes, "virtually no part of the delay can be attributed to the prosecution . . . . All of the delay, however, can be attributed to the alleged victim." As such we find that the pre-indictment delay was not unreasonable, nor was it arbitrary. Because there is no claim on the part of the defendant that the State delayed in pursuing him once the crime had been reported by the alleged victim, the defendant’s right to due process has not been violated under the State Constitution.

Similarly, because the State did not cause the delay, the defendant has not demonstrated that the pre-indictment delay constituted a deliberate device employed by the State to gain an advantage over him. See Gouveia, 467 U.S. at 192. Accordingly, we reach the same result under the Federal Constitution.

The defendant’s final issue on appeal is that the tolling provision of former RSA 603:1 is unconstitutional as applied to him. We find that the defendant’s argument is undeveloped because he merely restates the facts of the case without addressing their application to his constitutional argument. Therefore, we decline to address this argument. State v. Schultz, 141 N.H. 101, 104 (1996).

Affirmed and remanded.

NADEAU, DUGGAN and GALWAY, JJ., concurred.

CHILE 'QUAKE: Frequencies for EmComm

For IARU / Red Chilena Nor Austral de Servicio (RECNA) monitoring frequencies for the 8.8 Chilean earthquake, click:

- WorldRadio Online newsroom

1 comment:

  1. How scary and frightening! The quake happened at a time when most people were sleeping. I hope the United States and other foreign countries send aid to the people of Chile as soon as possible. They will need it. I further hope that no tsunamis strike any other country as a result of this quake. That would be even more devastating.

’s Hottest Topics of 2012

With more than 2,100 operating breweries in the U.S. and over 1,000 in the planning stages, the look ahead to 2013 is filled with more new brands and styles of craft beer than ever before.

To celebrate the end of 2012, we’re looking back at the top 10 posts of the past year to see what trending topics were the talk of the craft beer nation.

10. ‘Tis the Season for Winter Craft Beers by Meghan Storey

Seasonal releases from small and independent craft brewers were a hot topic throughout 2012, especially the winter versions. The flavors and smells indicative of the colder months—cinnamon, spruce, allspice, gingerbread and smoke—that find their way into these beers perfectly compliment heartier foods and get-togethers with friends and family.

9. Sustainable Uses of Spent Grain by Kay Witkiewicz

Spent grain, the leftover malt and adjuncts after the mash has extracted most of the sugars, proteins and nutrients, can constitute as much as 85 percent of a brewery’s total by-product. Craft breweries all over the country have devised innovative ways to prevent their spent grain from going to waste.

8. So You Want to Open the Next Great Craft Beer Bar? by Chris Black

Chris Black, owner of the renowned Falling Rock Tap House in Denver, Colo., offers some stern advice for the next wave of craft beer bar owners.

7. Beer Bread Grilled Cheese Sandwich by Honest Fare

Gabrielle of Honest Fare shares her recipe for beer bread which she uses to create a decadent grilled sandwich made with caramelized onions and Fontina and sharp cheddar cheeses.

6. I Scream, You Scream: It’s Craft Beer Ice Cream! by Lisa Morrison

Lisa Morrison catches up with three professionals in the ice cream business who are turing to their local craft brewers to create incredible new flavors using craft beer as an ingredient.

5. The Lighter Side of Dark: Debunking the Myths Surrounding Dark Beer by Ashley Routson

Most people have the misconception that the color of beer is directly related to its weight. In the mind of most consumers, dark beers are rich, heavy and full of calories. And conversely, they think that the paler in color a beer is, the lighter it is in body, alcohol and calories. Ashley Routson has made it her mission to debunk the myths surrounding dark beers.

4. 10 Chocolate Beers to Love on Valentine’s Day by Anne-Fitten Glenn

Chocolate has long been a traditional Valentine’s Day gift, but let’s admit it, those paper boxes of chocolate-covered nougats are not a particularly creative gift. For a “crafty” alternative, Anne-Fitten Glenn shares a few delicious and unique chocolate beers being crafted by U.S. breweries.

3. When Craft Beer Goes Bad: A Guide to Refusing a Beer by Andy Sparhawk

Craft beer has a power to create community, spark friendships and perhaps new ideas, but drinking old or contaminated beer is something we should not accept simply on the grounds that it’s beer, or worse, that it’s just beer. Andy Sparhawk helps you determine exactly what might be wrong with your beer and the best way to go about informing your server.

2. Should the Shaker Pint Glass Go Away? by Julia Herz

Julia Herz explores the popularity of one of the most fundamental (and apparently controversial) beer vessels—the classic shaker pint.

1. Readers Select the Country’s Favorite Beer Bars readers voted to recognize the top three overall most popular craft beer bars in the country and the top three from each of five U.S. geographical regions.

I was trynna figure out what I could make out of the broken pieces, or cut it up and make something but I'm not too sure what.
I think the only thing I will get out of that record is a lesson in dont force the record when it is starting to get cold. But thats okay. I was trying something completly different from the other two that I made, so I was kind of prepared for something to mess up.

I bet to solve the vinyl getting harder problem, work from the oven door.
I've left it down sometimes and just been very careful not to touch the metal on the inside.

I'd think it'd still be hot enough in that general area to keep it a little more workable.

And, I think you could lift it with a crochet hook in the disc's center hole. If you had to lift it off the pan and didn't want to touch it immediately.

But, the whole thing seems perfect. I'd still have to Goodwill it. I wouldn't be able to bear doing that to an album of mine or my Dad's.

5 Tips for Knitting in the Round

From seamless hats to fingerless gloves, knitting in the round opens up your knitting to a whole new world full of double-pointed and circular needles.  But knitting in the round isn’t always a walk in the park. Here are a few tips for knitting in the round to avoid frustrations — and to avoid ripping out your project.

Lacy Cabled Knit Cowl, on Craftsy.com

1. Circular knitting needle lengths

When you’re knitting with circular needles, make sure your circular needle’s length is slightly shorter than your project’s finished circumference. This pretty Lacy Cabled Cowl, taught in Stefanie Japel’s Knit Lab: In the Round class, has a circumference of about 30″, but it’s knit on a 24″ circular needle. A larger circular needle length would stretch the stitches too much, completely altering the gauge and therefore altering the finished circumference of the project. And of course, you’d never use a circular needle that’s significantly shorter than the project’s finished circumference. Can you imagine trying to cram this cowl’s stitches onto a 16″ needle and still have room to knit? Yikes!

2. Tighten those tails

If you find that joining your work into the round produces a few loose stitches or even a gap on that first row where the join happens, just pull taut on the tail when you go back to weave in the ends. No one will ever know the difference!

3. Get colorful with stitch markers

Marking the first stitch in the round is super important, but sometimes you need to use multiple stitch markers to mark other things in the pattern, like decreases or cables. If you plan to use more than one stitch marker, mark the beginning of the round with a different color so that you don’t get confused as you’re knitting.

4. Casting on to double-pointed needles

When you’re casting on a project that uses double-pointed needles, cast all your stitches onto one needle, then divide them up onto multiple needles. It’s hard enough to juggle all those double-pointed needles on the first few rows, so save yourself some grief and make the cast-on part a little easier.

5. Organizing your needles

Buying circular and double-pointed needles can cause a lot of clutter in your craft space. Avoid tangled circular needles and misplaced double-pointed needles with handy tools like double-pointed needle cases. If you want to invest in a large set of circular needles, try interchangeable knitting needles. These needles don’t require tons of cords and they keep all your circulars in one neat, organized place.

Sometimes you need just a little extra help when you’re learning to knit in the round. If you’d like expert guidance along the way, check out Stefanie Japel’s Knit Lab: In the Round class. She’ll walk you through helpful techniques like making a magic loop, plus help you knit the beautiful projects seen in this post.

We’ll continue discussing knitting in the round tomorrow on the Craftsy blog with a look at the differences between fixed circular and double-pointed needles.

Do you have any tips for knitting in the round, either on circular or double-pointed needles?

I started sewing as a young child since my mom used to make all our clothes. Today I make clothes for me and my 6 year old and 3 month old great nieces. I also love to knit, crochet and have started doing some quilting. I love experimenting with color as you can see in some of my projects I've posted.

The Indiana Jones Bag

Shouldn’t everybody have one of these? I whipped this up several weeks ago. Now Little Guy wears it all over the place. Now Son No. 1 wants one too. :-)

More photos from the Little Guy’s birthday party on Sunday. The weather was very cooperative so we spent as much time outside as possible.

A good time was had by all.

Cake Decorating 101

Yes, the old man can still wield a bag of icing. In the old days, I made frosting from scratch (with shortening, powdered sugar, etc., etc.). These days, it’s store-bought. But…with a flair. In the old days, the cake came OUT of the cake pan before it was frosted and decorated. These days, the cake stays IN the pan. Damn, I’m getting lazy.

Gotta love the folks at Wilton.
They make some really great tools for decorating a cake.

The “Lego Time” was a very last minute addition.
With some help from the Birthday Boy!

Next time: I’m going to back to the ‘scratch’ method. Store bought is not even close to homemade. Who would have thought, huh?

Former Bulldog receives accolade

Angie Charchalis named player of the week at Colorado School of Mines

Angie Charchalis

Former Moffat County High School standout Angie Charchalis was named Monday as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference/Baden East Division player of the week.

Charchalis, a 2008 MCHS graduate, led the Colorado School of Mines to victories over Regis University and Metro State College.

In the two games, Charchalis averaged 16.5 points, three rebounds, two steals and two assists, while shooting 40.7 percent from the floor, 45.5 percent from beyond the 3-point line and making all of her free throws.

Charchalis has scored in double figures in each of her past eight games. She is leading her team in scoring at 11.5 points per game — a mark good enough for 17th in the RMAC.

In 23 games, Charchalis has scored in double figures 17 times, including four games with more than 20 points.

The Colorado School of Mines (16-7 overall, 10-5 in the RMAC) will host Colorado Christian at 6 p.m. tonight.

Congrats Angie. Keep up the hard work. Nick and Ann, you got a GREAT kid.

MCHS girls cross-country caps off season at state meet today

All season long, the strength of the Moffat County High School girls varsity cross-country team has been the ability of the runners to push each other to top finishes. After taking third in the 4A Region 5 meet Oct. 19 in Delta, the girls will have one more opportunity to help each other finish the season strong today during the 4A state meet at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. Seniors Kelly Ciesco and Katharine Keiss, juniors Eryn Leonard, Bailey Hellander, Sassy Murray and Savannah Williams, and freshman Aubrey Campbell will represent the Bulldogs.

Over A Cup: Goodies for Halloween

It can’t be that Halloween is here already, but here it is and the snow to go along with it. It’s fun to make Halloween goodies with kids, and so I found two recipes in my file that are fun to make and quick, too. Chow mein noodles can be used to make treats for all kinds of occasions. I’ve used them to make haystacks and bird nests. This week’s two recipes are used in making spiders.

From broken bones to heart attacks, Dr. Jon Ossen treated just about anything that came through the door during his seven years as family practitioner in Craig. “You do everything,” he said. “You take care of your patients from the cradle to the grave.” Ossen, who still practices in Craig, left family medicine in November 2005 to pursue his longtime interest in emergency medicine.

Agriculture & Livestock: Halloween memories on Morapos Creek

Each year when Halloween rolls around, I think about those years when my siblings and I were growing up at the family ranch on Morapos Creek. Surprisingly, I remember the weather on Halloween night to be crisp and clear, though it undoubtedly had snowed earlier in the month. I remember the crunch of fallen leaves as we were out and about. Whatever the weather was like, we looked forward to the holiday. We girls can’t remember wearing Halloween costumes to school.

Lebron leads MCHS boys cross-country into state meet today

At 10:30 a.m. today at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, Alfredo Lebron will be lined up for the 4A state cross-country meet. In a sport that involves running for just over 3 miles, Lebron won’t be stretching his legs as much as he will be stretching his arms. “I think your arms are a big factor in your stride,” the Moffat County High School senior said. “When you are striding your legs, your arms come into play and you need to be ready for that.”

Bulldogs offense, defense have strong night in 52-28 victory

On the first drive of the night Friday at the Bulldog Proving Grounds, quarterback Bubba Ivers took the snap, ran to the left side and cut up field for a 20-yard touchdown run. Execution, Ivers said, helped the Moffat County High School varsity football team get back on track and win their home finale over Eagle Valley High School, 52-28. “Our linemen stayed on blocks, our running backs ran through holes and we were able to break some tackles,” Ivers, a MCHS junior, said. “We executed well all night long and were able to move the ball most of the night.”

US celebrates Statue of Liberty's 125th birthday

"We are a nation of diverse people," Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said during the naturalization ceremony on Liberty Island. "And that diversity strengthens our nation."

Cards win World Series, beat Texas 6-2 in Game 7

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols thrust both arms high in the air, even before he reached home plate. It was only the first inning, and already it felt as if the St. Louis Cardinals were home free. Because after they had overcome so much just to get this far, what could stop them? The Cardinals won a remarkable World Series they weren't even supposed to reach, beating the Texas Rangers 6-2 in Game 7 on Friday night with another key hit by hometown star David Freese and six gutty innings from Chris Carpenter.

Harris eager for more time with Broncos secondary

(AP) — Chris Harris never believed he wasn't supposed to be playing a pivotal role in the Denver Broncos secondary. It didn't matter that it was training camp, Harris was an undrafted free rookie agent out of the University of Kansas and had no offseason to impress a new coaching staff. Harris felt he deserved more than the minimal practice repetitions he'd been getting. "That dude," Broncos safety Rahim Moore said, "is one of the hungriest guys I've been around in my life."

In the spring, state legislators introduced Colorado House Bill 10-1365, also known as the Clean Air, Clean Jobs act, which sought to convert several coal-fired Front Range power plants to natural gas. Those opposing the bill contend its fallout could severely affect the Northwest Colorado coal industry and may mean the loss of hundreds of jobs, like those held by these Twentymile Coal Co. miners.

I see comments about the 07 Duke here again. What we should not forget is that in 07 it turned largely into a tyre driven championship, with Bridgestone pumping in cast domes of money to build tyres for Ducati, with Yamaha on the inferior Michelin. No matter how good a bike or rider is it is very difficult to overcome a rubber disadvantage. That's not to take anything away from Stoner. Just pointing out that it was far from a level playing field.

Kubica secures Citroen for latest outings

5 November 2012

Robert Kubica will continue his recovery from injury with two outings at the wheel of a Citroen C4 WRC later this month.

The Pole, who competed in two domestic events in Italy in a Subaru Impreza earlier this year, will take part in Rally di Como and Rallye du Var driving the car that won no fewer than four WRC titles in the hands of Sebastien Loeb.

Kubica, who suffered horrific injuries in an accident while taking part in the Ronde di Andora rally back in February, has been using his latest rally outings in an effort to improve his fitness and he said he was excited at the prospect of competing in the C4.

“I can't wait to drive a car that is as quick and has been as successful as the C4 WRC,” he said. “Rallying is one of my favourite forms of motorsport. After completing a test session so that I can get used to the car, competing in the Rally di Como will above all be an opportunity to get to a feel for the car and learn more about driving it in racing conditions.

“The objective will be different for the Rallye du Var. This will be the third time I have taken part, so it's a rally with which I am already familiar and where I feel comfortable.”

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Food just slides right out I have had my set a couple of years and have ordered three more sets for gifts at various times. I do not cook on high heat with them and am careful not to cut food in the pan or put them in the dishwasher. I do wish they would make a set with a glass lid though they are available for an additional price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Older version still works great I have an older version of this pan that I got a long time ago (maybe 15 - 20 years) and it is the one I use for eggs, sauces, steaks, etc. The surface is extremely durable and has no scratches. I love it!
Date published: 2014-11-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Absolute Favorite Pan! I've had it for four years and, despite the fact that I use it almost daily, it still looks like new. It's weighted and balanced perfectly with a good, flat surface, which has become extremely important since I installed a ceramic topped range. Always cooks evenly and, with the non-stick surface, it's a breeze to clean. Great pan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Most Versatile I am on my second 10" fry pan in the last 4 years. This is without a doubt the most used pan I have - perfect size and weight for most things I cook on the stovetop. With a little care, the non-stick coating is very durable and the pan itself is almost wear proof. I highly recommend this pan!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for fried eggs I really like this little pan for fried or scrambled eggs for one or two people. The eggs are done just right - not too dry, not too loose. It works well too for sauteing small amounts of ingredients, such as chopped onions. Great little pan!
Date published: 2014-11-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by from My all time favorite pan, I have this one currently and it has replaced the previous versions a couple of times over---since I use it for my breakfast every single day....I take a whole clove of garlic and nuke it for one minute, remove the husks, put them (about 10 cloves) in the fry pan on the lowest heat for about 10 minutes, then add two eggs and a dash of soy milk stirring slowly on very low heat----hmmmmmmmmmmm, delicious it is.
Date published: 2014-11-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Must have! 11 year old learned to cook on these (cheese garlic omelets and shaped pancakes to envy). Used for everything, but we definitely have these because we love a sit down hot breakfast every morning. A simple breakfast for dinner has also saved many a hectic night too. The sky is the limit using these pans. We can have fast ethnic infused breakfasts semi-homemade on a school day: huevos rancheros, naan and madras lentils, ham fried rice with omelet and ketchup, potstickers... I also made perfectly poached eggs for eggs benedict in the large pan and hollandaise in the little pan. Handles any leftovers to be reheated especially if you use a lid from any pot (survived 3 months without a microwave). Heats quickly and cleans fast.

Not All Who Wonder

We’re back. We’re home.

The trip went well. Exploration of Paris during the jet-lag recovery week was hampered somewhat by my ankle and plantar fasciitis, but we got to see some sights we might not have if we’d been more mobile, including the Musée des Arts et Métiers, which was like going back in time to one of the Great Exhibitions, or being transported to a Lilliputian steampunk world.

The work-related days in Belgium and Poland were exhausting but productive and a lot of fun.

The river cruise along the Rhine that was supposed to be our “recover from the work-related days while watching the world go by” part of the trip didn’t fulfil either expectation, as the ship travelled at night mostly and the shore trips were too rushed, but everything else about it was wonderful. We’d not done a cruise before, so I now know that I would ask a whole lot of questions that hadn’t occurred to me before if I was to consider doing one again.

The up side to my sore feet was that stopping to rest them meant I did more sketching. I took on a few subjects I’d have avoided as ‘too difficult’ or ‘too time-consuming’ and was pretty happy with the results. Pics to come.

The beetle pendant was the only craft project I finished. I’m halfway through a second pendant, but I’m not 100% sure if I like what I’ve done so far. I’ll keep going and start over if I’m not happy with the final result.

In a gallery shop in Paris I stumbled upon lots of colouring books for adults, and bought one and a set of pencils. I spent a couple of evenings with my feet on a bed of ice wrapped in a towel, filling in designs. Some of them looked like an image had been run through a program to create a vector file, but the result did not always make a design suitable for colouring. It got me thinking about what makes a good design, and wondering if I could produce my own. But colouring in isn’t all that satisfying, like art or craft is, in that I don’t produce something useful or improve my artistic skills. It’s more like doing a jigsaw puzzle.

And I don’t need another hobby.

Happy Camper

Last weekend we went camping. Since I’m supposed to stay off my feet for six months or more, when everyone went walking on the Saturday I stayed in the camp site. But that was fine with me, because a hundred metres or so away were some impressive views. I took my homemade ponchard box and did two paintings, one in the morning, the other in the afternoon.

While having lunch, I spotted a goanna snooping around the edges of the camp site.

I took a lot of pics, but the goanna managed to hide behind things most of the time. Later, while I was sitting quietly reading and having a cuppa, I had company again. I stayed put, and to my amazement he/she came right up to my chair. I had my iPhone on me, so I took a video, but my attempts to embed it on this page haven’t worked, unfortunately.

The walkers came back a few minutes later, and with some frantic signalling I got them to approach quietly so as to not frighten off the goanna. Much snapping of photos followed – probably much better ones than I took with my iPhone.

On the way to and from the campsite we drove past a lot of bushfire damage:

Along country roads:

A plantation:

Even along the main highway:

And the coal mine was still alight:

In Plein Air

Another “Do you remember this?” moment: aaaages ago, with Paul’s help, I made this ponchard box:

Well, three and a half years later I finally got around to using it. We went camping with friends a few weekends ago at Bear Gully, a little seaside camping spot in Victoria. I plonked myself on a stool on the beach on two of the days and was happy to find the box works perfectly – especially the all-important storage of paintings inside the lid.

The weather was very different. On the first day it was overcast but dry:

On the second the sun was out, but fortunately it wasn’t too hot:

Painting ‘in plein air’ was challenging and satisfying, but not exactly social. Which is why it took me so long to try the box. You really need a situation in which your friends/family/other half are happily otherwise occupied and don’t mind your attention being focussed elsewhere. Or else go with other painters.

Bonsai Travel

Way back when I first started travelling I assumed that the three sizes of suitcases were a guide to how much to pack. The big one was for international travel and the medium for domestic, and the small one for weekends away. Then I started working for Lonely Planet Publications as a designer and one of the many wisdoms I picked up is that you should never pack more than you can carry at a run for a kilometre.

By the time I stumbled on I thought I had mastered the art of travelling light. Half of what I read on the site made me feel smug that I’d already thought of it, but the other half was new and inspired me to pack even lighter.

On this last trip I travelled for most of the month with only a carry-on bag and a large handbag, knowing I’d have to haul them off and on of planes and trains with a bad back and no Paul to help. It was only at the convention at the end that I acquired more stuff than I could fit in my bag, but at that point we knew we could relax because we we would be taking a friend’s bag home with us.

So how do I manage with one carry on sized bag? Here’s some of my rules of bonsai travel:

* Make a ‘template’ packing list of essentials to copy and modify for each trip.
* Dress in layers and choose separates that will go with all other pieces. Sticking to a neutral and one colour helps. Avoid light colours if you’re travelling for a long time, as you might not have time or products to deal with food and sweat stains, which dark fabrics hide.
* If you do take light coloured clothing, remember to take a light coloured bra. Otherwise, take dark underthings.
* Choose clothing that will dry quickly and does not need ironing. I have fast-drying jeans and you can get ironing-free shirts.
* Wash clothing every few days with the hotel shampoo, using a travel towel to wring as much water out as possible, then hang on hotel coat hangers, traveler’s washing line and bathroom rails (it’s great when they’re heated, but take care not to melt delicate synthetics!).
* A shawl or sarong, depending on the climate, can be used as a scarf, skirt, jacket, shade cloth, bag and blanket.
* Reversible clothing, or clothing that can be worn more than one way, is great for travelling. It’s hard to find so keep it only for travelling.
* Shoes should be comfortable, hard-wearing and will survive being squished in a suitcase (with socks inside to hold the shape). I like to take one nice pair in case we go to a swish restaurant, but not heels as they take up too much room. I found my perfect travel shoe for this trip – black leather mary-sues with a runner-style sole. But I’d still need waterproofed runners as well if I anticipated walking in wet grass. At least one pair you take should be easily removed and without metal embellishments, for getting through security.
* Use jewellery to add interest to your wardrobe. Rigid circular necklaces and bracelets might bend and take up more room, so avoid them. Thread chains through straws to keep them from tangling. Perhaps take one chain/leather cord/ribbon and interchange pendants. Avoiding metal jewellery also helps avoid hold ups in security.
* Buy flat or small souvenirs as they are are easier to pack. I’ve often bought A4 sized artwork on holidays. It can slip inside the inevitable souvenir book. Otherwise, plan to buy things you’ll use or wear straight away. I nearly always buy a souvenir t-shirt, and like to buy socks, jewellery and scarves. I’m also a sucker for little travel-sized perfumes – non-aerosol of course.
* Work out how much you’ll use of bathroom products and decant into smaller containers. I’m always on the lookout for small plastic containers that don’t leak. Just to be sure, keep them in zip lock bags with a tissue to absorb moisture.
* Keep a lookout for products you use in travel sizes. I’ll often find they are only available outside of Australia, so I pop into pharmacies and supermarkets to see what they have.
* Choose a restricted make-up colour palette to match your clothing. For this last trip I bought lip-liners from the Body Shop and sawed them in half. (Cover your whole lip with liner before applying lipstick and you’ll still have some colour left after eating.) I also took an old, emptied blush compact and squished some lipstick colours into one compartment and cream eyeshadows into the other, then bought mini makeup brushes. Another trick is to buy foundation with sun-protection in it already so you don’t remove or have to reapply make-up when using sunscreen. Moisturiser can double as make-up remover and shaving cream.
* On some long-haul flights you can gamble on receiving some useful items, like moisturisers, lip balm, toothpaste and bed socks. If you’re travelling business or first class you might get pajamas, depending on the carrier. If your gamble doesn’t pay off you can always buy some when you get there. Resist taking what you won’t use. Don’t worry, the airlines recycle what isn’t opened or worn. (And I still haven’t found a use for multiple sleep masks.)
* IPhones are brilliant as they can be camera, torch, alarm clock, book, guidebook, phrasebook, notebook and computer as well as phone. During the parts of a flight when devices must be turned off, or when the battery is running, I have a crossword puzzle book and tear out the pages as I complete them, and a small novel or anthology that I don’t mind leaving behind when I finish it. A top-up battery is well worth having on hand, too.
* On trips where you need clothes for one kind of trip then move on to another kind (business to pleasure, warm to cool climate) or when you really want to buy something large and/or heavy, post things home or to a friend or family member. I print out slips of paper with the address on it to take with me, so there’s no chance my terrible handwriting will cause mistakes.

I’m always looking for new ways to pack light. One product I want to get hold of for my next trip is a couple of hooks that can clip onto those annoying anti-theft hotel coat hangers so I can hang clothes in the bathroom to dry. Clothes nearly always dry faster in the bathroom than in the wardrobe.

One product that is impossible to transfer into another container and I can never find in a travel size is a hypo-allergenic deodorant, so this time I made my own using this recipe. I’m tempted to try making other products now – especially if the result is solid and dry so I don’t have to put it in the liquids bag to go through security.

But while seeking out and trying products for bonsai travel is fun, the most effective way to achieve it is to simply take less stuff. I nearly always find I didn’t wear or could have done without one or two items of clothing, and only occasionally wish I’d brought something else. Usually the latter is something I couldn’t have predicted, to do with the local climate, and in that case what I need is usually available there. The only garments I wouldn’t gamble on finding at my destination are wet/cold weather gear and a bathing suit.

Not every travel tip will suit every traveller, too. The site advises against using a bag with wheels, since the mechanism takes up space and adds weight. But my back won’t stand up to carrying a 7-8 kilo bag round, so it’s a compromise I’ve accepted I have to make. Fortunately, wheely bags are getting lighter and lighter.

The lovely woman who wrangles the writers at Supanova, Ineke, is a crocheter. A few years ago she made some fabulous, whacky Futurama hats for us. I adopted the Zoidberg one. This year she made amigurumi critters. When asked what I’d like, I suggested a sea turtle, since they eat jellyfish (long story there).

I think there was some frantic hooking between the Supanovas. When I arrived in Perth she presented me with this adorable guy:

In the meantime, I’d got to thinking that I ought to make a thank you gift in return. The first Supanova was in Sydney and we stayed a few extra days, and of course found ourselves walking past Tapestry Craft/Morris & Sons. The ground floor level, where all the cross stitch and embroidery products are, was suddenly more interesting than the yarn filled basement. I had an embroidery project in mind for my gift – perhaps a small pendant – then I spotted cross stitch mobile phone case kits.

It’s very likely I did cross stitch as a child, but I can’t remember. Still, it’s all about squares, be they crossed or pixels. So I bought some graph paper, googled for images of Ineke’s favourite Futurama character, and only needed to acquire two more colours than what I had for the projects I’d taken with me.

It was a lot more addictive and a lot slower than I expected, and I had to be very sneaky at snatching stitching time to get it finished by the last day, but I made it:

Of course, it meant I didn’t get much work done on the embroidery projects I took with me, but I was having too much fun to care. However, my eyesight has suddenly deteriorated a little, so I’m worried that all this stitching is the cause. I do most of it of an evening where the lighting isn’t fantastic but, well lit or not, working close is bound to have an effect.

I’m already rationing the time I spend stitching so be nice to my back and hands. Perhaps a good light is all I need. It can’t hurt.

A Week in New Zealand

We just returned from a week away. Some writerly friends arrange a writing retreat each year, and this time it was held at the new home of one of the couples – a big property in New Zealand that they’re planning to turn into a retreat hosting business. I had already decided it was going to treat it as more of a holiday than time for writing before the RSI struck, because now that Paul is going to photography school we can only travel during school holidays. Also, we didn’t make it north of Auckland when we visited in 2008, so it seemed like a good opportunity to cover that end of the country.

Our hosts’ new home even has a waterfall:

The first day trip we did was to the Kauri forests. It’s almost impossible to convey a sense of scale in photos. They’re huge:

The second trip was to Cape Reigna, the furthest north you can get by road:

And stopped by Ninety Mile Beach on the way back:

Our third was to Russell and the Bay of Islands:

All these photos were taken on my iPhone, whereas Paul took a ‘serious’ camera’. I did a little sketching, first of our host’s house:

And then their dog, Buffy:

It was great to see this bunch of friends again. They live far from me, so I tend to only see them at conventions or the retreat. We’re all writers so there’s a fair bit of writerly discussion and debate with a good mix of opinions and interests to spice it up. Along with lots of stirring and laughs, and a fair bit of overeating.

The end of the retreat was pretty much the end of my time off. It’s been a strange ‘holiday’. A lot of what I’d like to have done was scuttled by RSI, and I suspect I’ll have a nagging feeling I wasted the break when I look back. With that in mind, I’m relieved I organised to spend some time away from home.

It’s a shame, but I really do need to get out of the house in order to have a proper break. I guess it’s a down side of working from home. I can’t help checking websites and Twitter, and unless you tell people you’re not going to be home on your holiday they’ll still contact you about work.

A week away from the computer, craft, housework, cooking, etc. seems to have given my right hand and wrist the rest it needed. It feels a lot better, though the true test will be when I get back to work on Monday. I have some changes to make to my book by the end of the month. If I get through that without the RSI flaring up, things will be looking promising for the future.

Happy New Year

Paul and I just spent a week away, heading to Adelaide via Mount Gambier and back again spending a night in Halls Gap. We saw the New Year in with friends holding a musicals themed costume party, me as Sarah from Labyrinth and Paul as the construction worker from the Village People movie.

2011 was the year I gave up on LJ and started writing LJish blog posts here as well as craft posts. I began the year over at LJ with this list of things to achieve:

Work Stuff:
Writing The Book
Going on tour
Finishing, polishing and editing The Book
Bringing together ideas, writing a proposal for and selling the next series
Writing more short stories

Non-work Stuff:
Honing my drawing/painting skills (start life drawing classes)
Continuing making things and learning new skills (craft and art)
Reading more (or listen to audio books when my back is too stuffed for reading)
Walking more
Spending less time sitting at the computer making my back worse

Wow. I actually did nearly everything. The only item I’m not sure I achieved was walking more. It’s not that I didn’t do any walking though.

So what else did I do in 2011?

* Finished watching all of the films in the ABC Top 100 Films list except for Wings of Desire, which I still haven’t been able to get hold of.

* Was transfixed by the QLD/NSW/VIC flood news footage.

* Used up most of my silk painting materials at a Craft Day.

* Had the paving finished off, which was effectively the last bit of the big renovations.

* A week or so later a picture rail fell down and our lounge flooded.

* Opened an exhibition, at which a chat with the curator of the gallery about “contemporary with a small ‘c’ versus contemporary with a big ‘C’” that sparked lots of thought about art and whether I really fit with the art group I was in.

* Tried Ethiopian cooking.

* Tried a few printing methods and decided it was waaay too messy.

* Rearranged the workroom and decided to call it ‘the studio’. (Name didn’t stick though.)

* Was transfixed by the Christchurch quake news footage.

* Saw Hawkwind with Paul (and liked the support band a lot).

* Culled my cd and dvd collection.

* Culled my to-read pile down to 130+ books.

* Got my stash down to ten kilos.

* Got all my unframed art framed, updated the gallery site and managed to sell some work.

* Was transfixed by the Japan tsunami news footage.

* Launched a friend’s book.

* Was ‘filler’ at Supernova. (As we writers are next to the Big Stars.)

* The neighbours arranged to replace the fence and ‘fix’ the retaining wall. Then a tree branch fell on the fence. And the garden bed started washing through the holes in the shonky wall repairs…

* Had to say a final goodbye to Peri Peri, my 19 year old feline companion of 16 years.

* Finished making the pattern for and sewed up two sets of robes for characters from my books, photographed friends wearing them and started doing character sketches.

* Signed up for The Sketchbook Project.

* Adopted Slinky.

* Decided I wouldn’t start a BA in fine art, which is just as well because…

* Got RSI and had to give up knitting.

Adding personality and productivity to CMIT Solutions.

We built a long-term relationship with a technology company by focusing on the human side of the IT industry.

Most business owners don’t like dealing with IT. The only time they think about it is when something’s broken or the printer’s out of ink. We changed this outlook on IT and built a longstanding partnership with CMIT Solutions based on technology and data combined with personality, creativity and integrated marketing campaigns that increase sales by meeting the audience’s needs in an interesting way.

Productivity Campaign

The IT crowd.

Break out the calculator

completed in our five-year partnership.

CMIT Solutions is the human intelligence behind technology. They help business owners focus on what they love—their business—by providing proactive IT solutions. When we first started working with CMIT Solutions, the focus of their advertising was primarily on what they could do in the technology space, not on the people who needed their services.

Early on in our relationship with CMIT Solutions, we did a competitive audit. All of CMIT Solutions’ competitors lacked personality; it was a space filled with swooshes, binary code and pictures of computers. Rarely did anyone talk about how they could help improve a business and a business’ bottom line, they just kept repeating how much they knew about computers and technology. They forgot humans used that technology. We set CMIT Solutions apart from the pack by bringing humanity, humor and storytelling to IT. CMIT Solutions became the brand where humans engage with technology, but are not ruled by it.

They also became the brand that stood for productivity, helping businesses stay productive with proactive technology and managed services. With a clear productivity-centered message and a person-focused brand that set them apart from the competitors, we started to push out CMIT Solutions’ new integrated marketing campaigns.

“Creative Suitcase gave our company and our customers something to rally around.”

Lindsey Wohrer

CMIT Solutions Director of Marketing Communications & Sales

Flipping the switch.

The CMIT Solutions story needed to be something that their customers could identify with and that their franchisees could get excited about. It also needed to incorporate their existing tagline, “We worry about IT so you don’t have to,” in order to keep any brand cache they had.

We developed the productivity campaign so that CMIT Solutions could be the champions of the productive workplace. Slow hardware, unsupported operating systems, viruses and spam are all unproductive and hurt the bottom line. With humorous headlines, direct mail marketing, a microsite focused directly at business owners and multiple advertising videos to share the productivity story, we made CMIT Solutions the champions of productivity.

CMIT Buttons

Internally we got the entire company on board by creating campaign buttons and picket signs for their national franchisee conference, as well as a two-minute brand video to introduce everyone to the new campaign. By the end, everyone was on board and excited about the new brand and direction.

“The productivity campaign really spoke to our target audience, business owners who want to focus on the success of their businesses, not faulty technology.”

Jeff Connally

CMIT Solutions President & CEO

Customizable marketing campaigns.

We push out more than a dozen integrated marketing campaigns for CMIT Solutions every year. With 135+ franchisees across America and Canada, these integrated campaigns need to be able to launch as franchisee budgets allow and business needs change. We create different levels of campaigns for a range of budgets, but we always include multiple ways to reach a decision maker.

Disaster Campaign

Quarterly marketing campaigns.

We develop six to eight quarterly campaigns a year and the disaster campaign is a great example. Natural disasters can have a devastating effect on a company’s technology, but aren’t often thought of until its too late. We used bold colors and interesting typography so our unique direct mail designs would stand out in the mail and developed a custom infographic to tell the story of what could happen during a natural disaster without proper backup and CMIT Solutions.

Seasonal Campaign

Seasonal Campaigns

We brought humor to the holidays and seasonality to CMIT Solutions with a series of micro-marketing campaigns for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Halloween. These holiday campaigns give franchisees a reason to reach out to potential clients every few months and share CMIT Solutions’ human side. They also offer a less expensive campaign option for franchisees.

Newsletter Covers

Printed newsletters.

Four times a year, we develop a newsletter for CMIT Solutions as another touchpoint for potential customers. The newsletters are filled with thought leadership articles from CMIT Solutions, built for easy reading and include custom infographic design for quick highlights of important content. They also work as a great leave behind after meetings with potential clients.

Launch Kit

Custom launch guides.

We provide franchisees with a custom launch guide for every marketing campaign. It lays out the purpose of the campaign and highlights the pain points we’re answering. It also gives tips on when to send the direct mail and email pieces, suggests phone scripts, explains how to set up custom landing pages and includes a variety of social media images to use. With each campaign, there’s a clear path to success and it’s clear to the audience that the marketing is coming from CMIT Solutions.

“The volume of creativity that pours out of Creative Suitcase is amazing. Again and again, they’re able to create campaigns that catch a business owner’s attention. They’ve also improved our brand’s integrity through marketing that is approved by headquarters.”

Lindsey Wohrer

CMIT Solutions Director of Marketing Communications & Sales

More than 1s and 0s.

Our relationship with CMIT Solutions continues and we work closely with their internal marketing team. We concept with them and pitch ideas to stakeholders, we host monthly strategy meetings to talk about planning and upcoming marketing initiatives and we even participate at their national convention as a trusted partner. All of this has allowed us to have a lasting, positive impact on CMIT Solutions’ business and bottom line.

“Creative Suitcase has helped improve our numbers, again and again, year after year. They’re part of the CMIT Solutions team and will be for a while.”

Jeff Connally

CMIT Solutions President & CEO

Shiny objects.

After so many successful marketing campaigns to help transform CMIT Solutions, it’s nice to have a little something extra to show for it.

The British Princess’ Visit to Sierra Leone

Just after lunchtime on Wednesday a small crowd gathered at Lungi to bid a fond farewell to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at the finale of an historic royal visit to Sierra Leone. Her Royal Highness, accompanied by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, had spent the past two days in Freetown to mark the 50th anniversary of independence and recalling the visit of Her Majesty the Queen back in 1961.  (Photo: HRH Princess Anne meets staff at PCMH)

Arriving late on Sunday night, the Royal couple’s first taste of Sierra Leone was crossing the bay from Mahera to Freetown, a truly unique airport arrival experience. They awoke the following morning to the bustling sights and sounds of Wilberforce and then wound down Hill Cot Road for a call on His Excellency President Ernest Bai Koroma. During their meeting, the Princess and President discussed the depth and breadth of the historical links shared between Sierra Leone and the United Kingdom and enjoyed a lively conversation about the strength of the 21st century relationship. This built on a similar conversation during the recent visit of Henry Bellingham MP, the UK’s Minister for Africa.

Keen to experience more of Sierra Leone and to meet its people, the Princess undertook a busy schedule of visits throughout the peninsula. Talking with businessmen and women she learned that British and Sierra Leonean companies are working well together across a range sectors, nearly doubling trade between the two countries during 2010. This dynamic partnership will contribute so much to the prosperity of both countries.

The Royal Family strongly supports development and human rights work around the globe and the Princess is no exception. She was keen to use her first visit to the Sierra Leone to see for herself the progress made in health, education and equality since the war. Staff at the Princess Christian Maternity Hospital (PCMH) described for her the significant role that the UK’s development assistance continues to play in helping to build Sierra Leone’s future; especially through the Free Health Care Initiative. The Save the Children Fund showed her their work with vulnerable groups at Kroo Bay. The Princess is President of SCF’s UK chapter and was pleased to feel a personal connection to the ongoing work of British aid organisations and volunteers in Sierra Leone.

The Princess rounded off her stay in ‘Sweet Salone’ by taking the time to explore her diverse culture, environment and history, visiting Bunce Island and spending an enjoyable afternoon amongst the wildlife at the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Both of which highlight the potential for a vibrant tourism trade in Sierra Leone; bringing further investment, jobs and development.

The British High Commission was keen to document this visit and proposes to share it with as many people as possible. We will be putting more information, including many photographs, onto the High Commission website, flickr and Facebook pages. If you are interested in finding out more about the visit or were lucky enough to have been at the events please check theses out, you may even be in one of the photos!

Employees at Sprint said that senior management at the company provided a positive experience, though others said that the management had room for improvement. Eighty-one percent said that they approve of CEO Dan Hesse. Reviewers said that in order for Hesse to pull in an even stronger approval rating, he should listen more to employees' needs and communicate better about how they can contribute to the changes at the company.

"Do more to develop a competitive attitude across all functions. Don't settle for 3rd or 4th place!" one reviewer wrote.

Intersection of Life and Faith

<< Daily New Life with Steve Arterburn

New Life Daily Devotion - June 24

  • 2015 Jun 24

The Morning Watch

Every morning he wakes me. He teaches me to listen
like a student. The Lord God helps me learn . . . .
Isaiah 50:4-5 NCV

Each new day is a gift from God, and if you are wise, you will spend a few quiet moments each morning thanking the Giver. When you do, you’ll discover that time spent with God can lift your spirits and relieve your stress.

Warren Wiersbe writes, “Surrender your mind to the Lord at the beginning of each day.” And that’s sound advice. When you begin each day with your head bowed and your heart lifted, you are reminded of God’s love, His protection, and His commandments. Then, you can align your priorities for the coming day with the teachings and commandments that God has placed upon your heart.

So, if you’ve acquired the unfortunate habit of trying to “squeeze” God into the corners of your life, it’s time to reshuffle the items on your to-do list by placing God first. And if you haven’t already done so, form the habit of spending quality time with your Father in heaven. He deserves it . . . and so do you.

How paltry must be the devotions of those who are always in a hurry. - William Law

How motivating it has been for me to view my early morning devotions as time of retreat alone with Jesus, who desires that I “come with Him by myself to a quiet place” in order to pray, read His Word, listen for His voice, and be renewed in my spirit. - Anne Graham Lotz

I suggest you discipline yourself to spend time daily in a systematic reading of God’s Word. Make this “quiet time” a priority that nobody can change. - Warren Wiersbe

Every day has its own particular brand of holiness to discover and worship appropriately. - Annie Dillard

Today’s Prayer

Lord, help me to hear Your direction for my life in the quiet moments when I study Your Holy Word. And as I go about my daily activities, let everything that I say and do be pleasing to You. Amen
