Unitentionally Bitchy

I'm a Bitch....sometimes

Okay, maybe more like all the time but like not intentionally, you know?

Okay, you probably don't know and i sound like a raving lunatic right now. That sounds more like me anyways. The thing is sometimes I'm a bitch on purpose, but 90% of the time i'm a bitch accidentally. Its like I say things without thinking, which is why you will get quotes like "the smell of books makes me horny" out of me. I don't intend to be funny, I just say things that are.

Well i'm the same way about being a bitch. I don't intend to be bitchy, i just am sometimes.  And then i feel awful later when i realize how badly i sounded earlier. I mean i embrace being a bitch. I have bitch face, i know how to run guys off, and i know how to make people feel 2 inches tall. But i don't always mean to be a bitch, i'm just one of those smart socially awkward people who people think are partially insane (and i am).

Yes, I am aware this post makes no sense and i am totally okay with that.

Anyways since its that time of year when people say what they are thankful for, i figured i should make my list.

I Am Thankful For:
  • Chuck (Adam Baldwin, Zach Levi and Josh Gomez= best thing on tv)
  • Glee
  • Baby Velociraptor (AKA baby sis)
  • My Boobs (36 C baby!)
  • That i have a job- even if its low pay and i have to whore myself out
  • Nixon and Kennedy (even if they throw me in their kennels)
  • Having the house to myself for the next week
  • Getting wine drunk
  • Guys thinking i'm hot even though i'm a bitch
  • My blogger readers and friends (why do you people like me?)
Things I am Not Thankful For:
  • Fucking cold weather, then hot weather, then cold weather again in the same fucking day!
  • People who finish eating and then sit at my table for another hour, i need to make money bitches!
  • Mushrooms
  • People who don't tip 15%
  • Having to pick up dogshit (what do you mean my dogs can't poop in your yard?)
  • College loan payments
  • Having to drive 30 minutes to get to a bookstore

Top Chef: Favorite Challenges

So with the countdown to Top Chef All-Stars less than a week away (commence squealing here) and it being Thanksgiving, the foodie holiday to top all foodie holidays. I think its time to do my favorite challenges ever.

10. Snacks on a Plane- (Season 3) The contestants fly to Newark Liberty International Airport and, using the Continental Airlines kitchen at Newark Airport, prepare a meal for first class. The meal must be reheated and served aboard a Boeing 777 in a hangar to 14 Continental flight attendants plus the judges.

9. Crap Rolls- (Season 6) The chefs each roll a pair of six-sided dice at a craps table in the Top Chef kitchen. They then have 30 minutes to create a dish with the number of ingredients they rolled on the dice (two through ten), not counting salt, pepper, and oil.

8. Beach Cooking- (Season 2) The chefs must cook for surfers at dawn on the beach using only a fire pit and basic kitchen tools

7. Bipartisan Sandwich- (Season 7) The chefs must create a "bipartisan" sandwich by working in pairs while joined by a double apron allowing each chef the use of one hand. Just imagine the hilarity that ensued with people being tied together.

6. Superbowl Chefdown- (Season 5) For their elimination, the chefs, united as one team, must compete in the first ever "Top Chef Bowl," against "all-star" contestants from past seasons of the show. Each Season 5 contestant will compete against an all-star chef in a "head-to-head" cook-off, celebrating the regional cuisine of one of seven NFL teams and using a set of this region's ingredients, provided for them in a "mystery box". Because Fabio and Spike going at it for the fans was one of the funniest parts of the show.

5. Food On the Fly- (Season 1) The chefs must create a dish in 30 minutes using $20 worth of ingredients from a gas station store.

4. Aisle Market- (Season 3 )The chefs draw numbered knives corresponding to an aisle in a supermarket. Each chef has 20 minutes to create a dish using only $10 worth of products from that aisle. This ranks so high for the simple memory of Hung's smurf village creation of cereal. By far the wackiest dish in Top Chef History.

3. Improv- (Season 4) The chefs attend a performance of the improvisational comedy troupe, The Second City. During the performance, the Second City actors obtain combinations of a color, emotion, and ingredient from the audience, creating five descriptions for meals that the chefs are then to prepare. This resulted in such dishes as "Green Perplexed Tofu" and "Magenta Drunk Polish Sausage"

2. Mise En Place Relay- (Season 3) While it has been duplicated for several seasons. Season 3 takes the place as my favorite, because where else will you see Hung break down a chicken in under a minute.

1. Restaurant Wars- Created in the first season, it divides the teams into two and forces them to create their own restaurants: menu, decor and all. It also means hightened drama. Would anything else be my favorite challenge?

I'm Not That Impressive

So i tend to be oblivious to things.

I tell you this as a preface to this story.

I was on FB the other night and one of the boys I grew up with chatted me. We'll call said guy Mr. Marine, cause you know he's a marine.  Now some background history, I met Mr. Marine in the 5th grade when he was dating a friend of mine. You know, whatever dating meant in the 5th grade. Sometime after we became friends in our own right. I used to go watch his baseball games and he used to pick me first (well for a girl) in gym class. He had a rotating door of girlfriends and I was, pretty much, the proverbial ugly duckling. I had frizzy hair, acne, glasses and was chubby in the way that i hadn't grown into my own body yet. Seriously, i had all the pictures from this age totally burned; they were so bad.  Anyways, the summer before my sophomore year of high school my family moved, and i lost touch with Mr. Marine. This was before the age of Facebook and Myspace and teenagers having cellphones, you know.

Anyways some years ago we became Facebook friends and such. So a couple nights ago Mr. Marine Fb chats me and we're talking about life and such and he sees a picture of me with my sisters and asks if they are my kids. When i respond with a no, he retorts "Figures, you never let a guy get you."

Wait.... what?

According to him, He had been flirting with me since like the moment he met me. I called bullshit, several times actually, because i don't remember any of this at all. He was adamant though about having flirted with me for several years and me just blowing him off everytime. So i asked why he didn't pick up his balls and ask me out all those years ago. Apparently I'm intimidating or some such nonsense. I don't know how a 5'6 redhead (actually I was a blonde back then) with coke-bottle glasses and an insecurity complex could have ever been intimidating to anyone. But as I've been told i was intimidating before, I sort of just took it at face value.

Now in fairness I tend to be completely oblivious to guys flirting with me. That hasn't changed in 10 years. In fact i have had several ex-boyfriends and other guys tell me that they were flirting with me for sometime and i just don't seem to catch on. I have also had a couple guys that i knew from this particular time period tell me that they had crushes on me (WTF? frizzy haired, glasses wearing nerds were hot back in the day? it had to be my boobs). I'd like to think that i would catch on to a guy flirting with me for 3+ years but obviously i would be wrong.

So i tell Mr. Marine: yeah i tend to not notice that shit.
Mr. Marine: Well i'm flirting with you now, so pay attention
Rose: Oh... Well you're cute but married
Mr. Marine: Nope, divorced
Rose: Oh
Mr. Marine: So when i come home in June, we're going on date and no you can't argue your way out of this.

I couldn't help but laugh. That's what i get when someone knows me so for so long. They know how i am going to react to things. I wouldn't have said no anyways, only because even if the date sucks I get to see a friend i haven't since 1998. Also, for the record: I'm pretty sure I am not the only girl he has been hitting up since his newly found singlehood. But i have to wonder, does a 12 year crush make him romantic or just creepy stalkery? And seriously, I'm not that impressive for anyone to have a 12 year crush on me. I'm still pretty much a nerd.

A Hostile Take-Over

So that bitch who owns me is currently hog-tied in my kennel to think about what she did. Don't be confused, she's sick- which is the only reason i could get the drop on her. She's a quick little biped, and if i hadn't managed to jump on her before she reached the squirty bottle I'd be eating stale dog food in the dark cold garage with Kennedy. But luckily she was tired and tripped over one of Lil' Miss Sis's strategically placed toys. Hence I, Nixon Alexander J*****, will be in charge of this blog. It's only appropriate that i should rightfully rule this blog. I am only named after two of the most illustrious rulers of all time. Who wants to read my owner's juvenile whining when you can listen to me talk about how i am going to take over the world?

Oh Wait, Kennedy wants to say something....

Kennedy shoves Nixon off the Keyboard

Hi, Hi, Hi, I'm Kennedy, I'm a Cancer and I enjoy cuddling on the couch, long walks, stealing Nixon's treats and the color pink. At least I think its the color pink, I mean i am colorblind but Pink is such a good color with my fur and all. I'm Fiesty, Fun and Frisky!

Nixon drags Kennedy away by the tail

That's entirely enough of your asinine shit, Kennedy. Go feed the prisoner, we are going to need her to open the door for us later. Once i have my mind control device firmly in place and not malfunctioning. Its taken me years to tweak it so that the human doesn't blow up. Don't be confused, its not that i don't love my human. She did rescue me from the pound and dealing with all those mouth-breathing dogs that eat their own poop. She does feed me, and rub my tummy. But the bitch doesn't let me hump her and i just can't deal with that! How am i supposed to show her that i am dominate in this relationship any other way? I can't drag her around by the tail like i do Kennedy!

Yeah, yeah! She did save me from some mexicommies... mexicannies.... mexconties....

Mexicans! You insipid fool. Now get back to guarding the prisoner! Don't fall for any of her tricks. I don't care how many tummy rubs she offers you.

Now that that is taken care of lets take some calls from my loyal minions. Toby in Toledo, you're on with Emperor Nixon.

"Yeah, Emperor Nixon when you finally take control of all the humans, What is the first thing you are going to do?"

Excellent question Toby. When i finally have mind control devices planted in all the humans, dogs will no longer have to eat that stale dry kibble they call dog food. Dogs will be served steak every night. When we run out of cows we shall move onto Lions. Those treacherous bastards refused to sign a non-competitive agreement in Africa and have to be gotten rid of.

Buttercup in Tuscon, you are on with Emperor Nixon.

"Hi, Emperor Nixon. I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller. I just love your show and your fur is so well groomed. I was just wondering what your favorite TV show was?"

Thanks, Buttercup. I don't have time for TV shows. I am too busy perfecting my human-mind control device and i'm sorry that your owner had to give you such a moronic name. She's probably one of those women who dresses their dogs in clothes too. Don't human's know that clothing is only for their ugly bodies. Our species was designed to look beautiful completely naked.

Next Caller, you are on with Emperor Nixon.

"Yeah, Emperor Nixon when you takeover what are we going to do about those damn cats?"

Great question. I have just recently concluded a deal with the militant squirrel army that will allow us to rid the world of cats altogether.

uh... Nixon

They have agreed to help us drown all the pussies and in return we must stop chasing them up trees. They have, however, agreed that we can chase the chipmunks and moles.

Nixon, hey, Nix. I uhh.....

So when i am Supreme Emperor of the World, cats will no longer be a problem. We can make them work in our sweatshops creating tennis balls and treats for us!

NIXON!

What do you want Kennedy? Can't you see i am trying to conduct my weekly radio show here. I don't have time for you pointless dribble!

Yeah, but Nixon, Mom woke up and she's like opening the doors to the kennel and no matter how many times i chase my tail she doesn't seem to pay attention to me.

Shit! This concludes the Emperor Nixon radio hour. Please tune in next week when i will be discussing how to properly hog-tie your humans. Quick, get the jar of peanut butter and knife and stash it for next week Kennedy!

Top Chef: Favorite Chefs!

With my self-imposed ban on Project Runway, I have decided to switch to Top Chef All-Stars, which is right around the corner. I have loved Top Chef since the very first season and i always have controversial picks on favorites. So without further ado, my favorite Top Chefs from all seven seasons.


10. Lea-Ann Wong- The plucky Asian contestant who should have been in the final three. I think it turned out for the best since she is now a culinary producer on the show. Also, she is totally awesome since she originally went to school for fashion design and then decided to switch to cooking.

9. Fabio Viviani- The Italian Stallion of Season 6. He was handsome, funny, quirky and a damned good cook too.

8.Stephanie Izard- The only female winner in Top Chef History and it was totally justified. Stephanie was just fun to watch and very rarely stressed out.

7. Angelo Sosa- You either love him or hate him. I happened to love him, massive ego and all. Personally, i think if he hadn't gotten sick he would have won season 7.

6.Hung Huynh- Nobody slices and dices up a chicken quite as fast as Hung. Yes, he has ego but he backs that up with cooking brillance.

5. Kevin Gillespie- Everybody loves the boy with the pig tattoo. Plus he made down home southern cooking look downright dignified

4. Carla Hall- Hootie who! Everybody's quirky Beaker-from-the-Muppet-show look alike! She was definitely the dark horse candidate in season 5, but she was always entertaining.

3. Harold Dieterle- I picked the season one winner to win from the first show. He just had something special about him. It didn't hurt that he is wicked hot too.

2. Marcel Vigneron- Marcel was the chef you love to hate, except me i really just loved him. Mock his foams all you like, he still should have won over Ilan. Marcel had an innovative streak a mile long, and a wicked haircut.

1.Spike Mendelsohn- It was hard for me to choose between Spike and Marcel for my favorite. But season 4s, 5th place finisher will always be my fav. I mean he was fun to watch, could cook and rock a hat. Plus i will never forget him and Mark bonding in a bathtub full of bubbles.

Under The Covers: Calamity Jayne

TITLE: Calamity Jayne

AUTHOR: Kathleen Bacus

GENRE: Chick Lit/Mystery

SUMMARY: Bacus's riotous romantic suspense debut offers plenty of smalltown charm and oddball characters, notably ditzy blonde Tressa Jayne Turner, who has earned the moniker Calamity Jayne for the disastrous events that follow wherever she goes. One night after working the late shift at Bargain City in Granville, Iowa, Tressa mistakes another car for her own, and ends up on a dark country road with a flat tire. Instead of a spare, Tressa finds the town's drug-smuggling attorney dead in the trunk and an envelope of greenbacks in the glove compartment. In a panic, Tressa goes for help, but when she returns with Ranger Rick, her hunky nemesis from high school who turns up at all the right moments, the car has disappeared, dead body, cash and all. Naturally, no one believes the incident happened, except for the murderer, who's determined to recover the money he believes Tressa has snatched. Filled with dumb-blonde jokes, nonstop action and rapid-fire banter, this is a perfect read for chick-lit fans who enjoy a dash of mystery**

ROSE'S REVIEW: Another fully fun chick-lit book in my collection. Tressa Jayne Turner just manages to find trouble wherever she goes. She's a ditzy blond with some oh-so-stupid moments, which actually become endearing throughout the book. She has trouble holding down any job that isn't run by her family but she really wants to be a reporter. When a dead body shows up in the trunk of her car and a wad of money is found in her glove compartment, she legitimately freaks out. But when her brother's hunky best friend, Ranger Rick, shows up to help her the body and the money are gone and the whole town thinks Tressa is crazy. Unable to not be a snoop (and to clear her sort-of smudged good name) Tressa decides its up to her to figure this mystery out.

You will either love or hate Tressa. She's adorably nosy and can't help but causing trouble. Bacus has some very interesting and clever characters although the plot is a little pedestrian at times. I will give her this though, I never figured out who the culprit was until it was revealed. I find Tressa annoyingly endearing with her Lucille Ball antics and her penchant for fighting with Ranger Rick (when really all she wants to do is make-out with him). It's another one of my light-fully beach reads but that doesn't make it any less good.

Tales From the Ra Vault: Hot Shit

So G-Fab and I were reminiscing the other day and I remembered this particularly nasty RA story. It happened to the RA I took over for (PreMe). To be honest, if it had happened to me I might have retired too.

 So the building I was an RA in, Ho-house as it was affectionately called (not by me i hated that name), was 11 stories tall with a basement. In the basement was a common room with a TV and next to that room was a kitchen. Our building was the old style dormitory with bedrooms and bathrooms on each floor but only a single kitchen in the basement. It wasn't used all that much but it was used.

Anyways PreMe had gone down to the kitchen for purposes unknown, encountered a foul smell and began opening up the fridge and such to figure out where the smell was coming from.

She found it...

....SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A SHIT IN THE OVEN.

I am not kidding you. According to G-fab, PreMe came into the RA office completely furious ready to punch someone. After explaining the story, she had the glorious job of calling facilities and getting caution tape to tape off the kitchen.

Now I don't know what kind of twisted motherfucker would do this to begin with, because that is the most downright disgusting thing ever. I mean who even thinks about doing that? But it didn't stop there a few weeks later the RA's found shit in the microwave, then poo in the common room, on people's door handles, on the walls. There was like a shit bandit running amok up in Ho-House.

Just for the record, facilities isn't even allowed to clean up that kind of stuff because of possible communicable diseases and such, a special team is called in to clean up that stuff and they charge. So the building got charged a couple thousand dollars for the shit spree. Anyways it continued on for about two months and then it just stopped. There were several suspects but never any proof. Eventually, facilities replaced the oven because no one would use it after that incident.

Under The Covers: Enchanted Inc


TITLE: Enchanted, Inc.

AUTHOR: Shanna Swendson

GENRE: Fantasy/Chick lit

SUMMARY: In her first mainstream novel, romance writer Swendson puts a Harry Potter–inspired twist on the standard tale of a smalltown girl in the big city, with lively if saccharine sweet results. Fish-out-of-water Katie Chandler suffers in her thankless job as assistant to marketing manager "Evil Mimi," worrying that maybe she just can't hack it in New York City. Will her colleagues ever consider her anything but a hick? For a girl from Texas, the Big Apple is stranger than a foreign country, but she discovers that the weird things she notices are signs of real magic afoot. Her "small-town honesty and common sense" soon land her a new job at Magic, Spells, and Illusion Inc., which traffics in benevolent sorcery. "You... are of the rare breed who can neither do magic nor be influenced by magic. You see the world as it is," an MSI executive explains. With her clear-sightedness—plus business acumen gained working for her family's feed-and-seed store—Katie will play a pivotal role in MSI's magical battle against a malevolent competitor. From sanitized descriptions of New York City life to hunky wizards and fairies on the subway, this book is pure and innocent fantasy, suitable for preteens or readers hungry for a cotton candy read.**

ROSE'S REVIEW: Cotton candy read is right. This book is a lot of fluffy fun fantasy, which in my world is not a bad thing. Enchanted, Inc. is not the kind of deep book that makes you think about the world and all that jazz. It's a pure light fun fluffy read that is easy to get swept away with.  Katie is the typical Texas fish out of water in New York City. She sees a lot of strange things most of which she just assumes are because its New York, but then she finds out that everyone has a little bit of magic in them. Except for her which is why she can see fairies and talking gargoyles and people doing magic but everyone else doesn't see them. This makes her very valuable to MSI Inc, who quickly hires her and she becomes swept up in magical battle of good versus evil. Add in a hunky wizard, some quirky roommates, men who think they are frogs and Merlin and you have a very fun book to read.

Sure the plot is a little outlandish, but so are the 800 vampire books that seem so popular nowadays (*cough cough Twilight*). If you are willing to get past that, you will adore this book its quick, witty and fun. I inhaled it in a day and the rest of the books in the series are just as good. The only downside is that the publishers decided not to pick up the 5th book in the series, so you are left with a mildly satisfying ending in book 4. I've read a fair amount of the fantasy/chick lit genre that is become so popular and unlike a lot of those books the plot isn't cliched and predictable and the characters are vividly written and charismatic. If you like fantasy, you will like Enchanted, Inc.

Never Watching This Show Again (PR 8.14)

Yep, I am totally serious. This will be the last Project Runway post I ever write. What will take-over for Project Runway? I'm not sure yet, probably Top Chef All-Stars maybe the Fashion Show (even though I find Isaac Mizahi incredibly annoying) but I can only take the bad-judging and decisions made for drama rather than talent for so long and it seems 3 seasons is my limits.

But I am getting way way ahead of myself. The episode started off with the weakest reunion special ever. It lasted a whole of 20 minutes and didn't give me any satisfaction at all.  I mean yes, everyone called Gretchen a bitch but that not shocking. But they never questioned why Ivy hated Michael C. so much, instead they just flashed to her sour-puss "I don't want to be here because i'm too good for this" face every couple minutes.  I mean: LAMEST. REUNION. EVER.

Moving on, then we get to the good stuff. Tim critiqued the designs telling Andy that his bathing suit looked like hair (and it did and it was disgusting). He reminded Gretchen to glam it up for the runway, although is some lipstick and heels really glaming up? He told Mondo to stick to his vision and Mondo certainly did. Then there were model fittings where three of Mondo's models didn't show up.

Then it was morning of Runway and they were all getting ready. Andy put on make-up and some tacky McHammer pants from 1991. Gretchen took a page from the depressed April Handbook and wore a black see-through dress with some granny panties. I mean seriously who thinks that looks good? Mondo looked dead sexy in a suit, but seriously hairspraying his socks in place in just a little quirky. They get to Lincoln Center and everything goes wrong for Mondo. One of his models doesn't show, his Model Wrangler (can i tell you how much i love this term?) messes up his line-up and I thought Mondo was going to hyperventilate about 3 times.

Gretchen's #4
The judges come out and introduce guest Judge- Jessica Simpson. Now listen, i love Jessica Simpson shoes and i have on occasion felt really bad for that girl. I mean the whole John Mayer controversy and Tony Romo dumping her the night before her birthday and the media always going on about her up-and-down weight issues. But sweetheart did herself no favors in the ugly silver dress she wore. I made her look like she weighed 240 pounds, which i'm sure she doesn't, and that alone made me question her choice as a guest judge.

Gretchen's "Little House on the Prairie for Blind Lesbians" collection came first. It was crunchy granola at its best. I pretty much wrote down a string of "ewwws' and "wtf's" for every single piece. The only piece you could even consider me liking is #4, where i wrote down that it wasn't awful. That's not saying too much, now is it?

Andy's #6
Then it was Andy's "Boring Asian's Trying to Channel Aliens" collection. Honestly, I loved a lot of Andy's Warrior Women looks that came down the runway this season. I'm still wondering where those looks went when it came time to create his collection. I know the judges told him he had to stretch out of the warrior woman motif but he didn't have to do a complete 180. It was like a totally different designer for the runway except for his ugly McHammer pants that he can't get away from. Listen, Andy they went out of style and they are not coming back in. My favorite piece next to his green dress, that he showed in the last episode, was his #6 dress. It was fabulous, but it really reminded me of something Laura Bennett from season 3 would have made. I mean: Gorgeous- Yes. Innovative-No. Also, Andy's mom is wicked scary. I wouldn't want to be her kid, she looks like she could beat you to death.
Mondo's #5

Then it was Mondo's "Young, Colorful, Circus Collection For People With Personalities." His collection was fun and inventive. There were a few pieces i didn't totes love like his #6 piece which was a pair of black shorts with a shirt covered in different color paillettes. I kinda thought it was a throw-away look. I would never wear his skull t-shirt but the leggings with that shirt were amazing. I thought his silver bubble skirt, piece #8, made his model look fat but it was still more interesting than anything Gretchen or Andy put down the runway. My favorite piece was #5, an adorable plaid bubble dress with these awesome leggings although i would have ditched the yellow shoes.

Then came judging and they threw out Andy fairly quickly and it came down to a Gretchen Vs. Mondo argument. The longer the argument went on the more it became evident that Gretchen was going to snatch a victory over Mondo. It basically came down to Michael Kors and Nina Vs. Jessica Simpson and Heidi. I don't know about the rest of you but it really seemed that Michael and Nina wanted Gretchen to win simply because she listened to their advice and glammed up her line. Whereas Mondo didn't listen to Michael and Nina about the polka dot red carpet dress. That seemed to be the dividing line to me. While Michael and Nina can talk about Gretchen being "on trend" (on trend for who? a corpse, Laura Ingles, bad vegan lesbians?) or wearability but when have those things ever mattered on Project Runway? Christian Siriano certainly didn't win based on wearability and being on trend. Leanne didn't either, nor did Jeffery or Seth Aaron. The simple fact is Michael and Nina wanted Gretchen because she listened to them and Mondo didn't. And arguing that Mondo wasn't on trend is ridiculous- I submitt this post from Project Rungay as evidence.

Furthermore, it has outraged PR fans in a way that i think is going to hurt the show. I haven't always agreed with the winner. I always thought that Daniel Vosovic should have won over Chloe Dao (season 2), Carol Hannah over Irina (season 6) and I was rooting for Uli (season 3) and Jillian (season 4) over the respective winners of those seasons. But with all those winners I could understand why the winners won. I could understand why the judges made the decision they made even if it wasn't what i would have picked or wore. But with this season is so far off- base I can't even fathom it. Gretchen's collection was hideous and there is no reason she should have won. Its evident by the fact that Mondo's collection has sold out online already, where as there isn't even a dent in Gretchen's or Andy's.

So I am swearing off Project Runway. I have deleted it from my Tivo, unliked it from Facebook and have joined the Boycott Project Runway Facebook Group. I suggest everyone else do the same. That is the only way the Project Runway Producers and Judges are going to get the hint that they suck. It is now officially on my eyestab list.
