I got tagged by gemini art angel :)

(old pic, no new ones of me due to lap top crashage b4 xmas)

 

16 things about me:

 

1. I am asthmatic, and allergic to cats, but own 2 (I have adapted, I am borg, lol)

 

2. I am 8 years and 9 months younger than my husband.

 

3. I have a fear of needles.

 

4. I don't like butterflies wafting near me.

 

5. I am an only child.

 

6. I would love a pet rat (so would my cats!)

 

7. I could read and spell very well by the age of 4, but my brain works faster than my hands, and I often write/mis-spell words getting ahead of myself by skipping to later letters- I need to pace myself!!

 

8. I have a scar on my left shoulder where I had a 'dodgy' lump removed. It healed badly and the scar is bigger than the original lump! The lump? Well, results said it was only pretending to be dodgy! (but better safe than sorry).

 

9. I have a photographic memory.

 

10. I would love to have a tattoo of 3 stars in rainbow colours- one for each of my children... but... see no3!!

 

11. I yearn for a minimalist pastel coloured house, but in reality, love 'stuff' and bright colours too much.

 

12. According to my daughter, when I smile, I have more wrinkles than my 65yr old Mum!

 

13. I was 18yrs and 5 weeks old when I had my first child, and it took me 3 days to deliver her.

 

14. I have Benign Essential Tremors- mostly in my left hand, a little in my right, and just a tiny 'nod' in my head occasionally. Caffiene, stress and medication can make it worse.

 

15. My favourite foods are: candy floss, cabbage, salmon and fudge, but not all on the same plate! I love to drink lager, cranberry juice or coke- but that last one is banned- I'm properly addicted and used to consume 2 litres+ a day, every day!!! o_0

 

16. At 12wks pregnant with my 3rd baby, I was so bumpy, the docs thought he was going to be twins- as it runs in both my Mum and Dads family, and I was next in line!! 0_o Twin Spencers would have been cute, but I'm pleased it was just him! lol.

Oh, and after they thought my tummy would stay 4-5 months pg looking forever, but I proved them wrong again! :D

Regine went to Manila for the first time to work as a kasambahay when she was 17 years old. She left her family in Samar so that she could help with the family expenses. Her mother is asthmatic. Working in Manila will go a long way to aid medical expenses. Her main task at her employer’s home was to do general housework. She worked with another kasambahay and friend who came with her from Samar. Although Regine’s main task was housework, she helped her friend at times when it came to taking care of the kids. After a year of service as kasambahay, she went back to Samar to continue her high school education. © ILO/J. Aliling 2015

During cold winter months the caterpillars of the Brown-tail Moth hibernate in greyish silken "tents", or as I call them "Caterpillar Tents"!

 

In Spring, as the weather becomes warmer, they leave the tents to forage for food. The caterpillars have small toxic barbed hairs all over their bodies, which can break off easily and irritate the skin - in some cases severely. Some people can suffer a type of asthmatic reaction.

 

So although the silken tents are impressive constructions, and I love photographing them, they are not something you want to find in trees and bushes near you!

Notes: "Wizard of Photography" Elias Goldensky was born in the small Ukrainian village of Radomysl on September 9, 1867. His father Benjamin was an oculist, and opened a photography studio in the commercial district of Kremenchug in the 1870s. After the assassination of Emperor Alexander II in 1881, the subsequent anti-Semitic pogroms resulted in oppressive living conditions for Jewish families like the Goldenskys. Elias attempted to supplement the family income by becoming a member of a local acting troupe. At the age of 23, he, his father, grandmother, and two younger brothers, emigrated to the United States, and settled in Philadelphia, which at the time was America's second largest city. Philadelphia was the natural choice because of its large Ukrainian Jewish population. Young Mr. Goldensky quickly joined William J. Kuebler Jr.'s portrait studio as a retoucher. Less than a year later, he began working for Frederick Gutekunst, and spent the next four years as a retoucher and part-time printer. In 1895, Mr. Goldensky opened his own studio, which had stiff competition from the city's more than 130 portrait studios. Despite its ghetto location, Mr. Goldensky's studio quickly earned a reputation for producing elegant portraits that soon grabbed the attention of Philadelphia's most elite citizens. Mr. Goldensky's photography studio remained profitable until World War I, when the business of portrait photography began a steady decline that bottomed out during the Great Depression. Nevertheless, he remained in demand as a photographic exhibitor, convention lecturer, and member of several photographic societies. Louis Walton Sipley named Mr. Goldensky to serve on the first board of directors of Philadelphia's American Museum of Photography in 1940. The photographic maverick dubbed the "Wizard of Photography" died from an asthmatic attack on March 10, 1943, and his massive personal archives of 1,500 prints and more than 1,600 negatives and transparencies were donated to the museum. After founder Louis Walton Sipley's death, his widow sold the museum's holdings to the 3M Company, which were donated to the George Eastman House in 1972.

I had the very best possible vacation. And then returned to the Piney Woods of east Texas and developed asthmatic bronchitis. Getting yellow roses (of Texas) from Hadley is delightful and yet too on point! 🤔

A funicular, also known as an inclined plane or cliff railway, is a cable railway in which a cable attached to a pair of tram-like vehicles on rails moves them up and down a steep slope; the ascending and descending vehicles counterbalance each other.

 

The basic idea of funicular operation is that two cars are always attached to each other by a cable, which runs through a pulley at the top of the slope. Counterbalancing of the two cars, with one going up and one going down, minimizes the energy needed to lift the car going up. Winching is normally done by an electric drive that turns the pulley. Sheave wheels guide the cable to and from the drive mechanism and the slope cars.

 

Bottom towrope[edit source | editbeta]

The cars can be attached to a second cable running through a pulley at the bottom of the incline in case the gravity force acting on the vehicles is too low to operate them on the slope. One of the pulleys must be designed as a tensioning wheel to avoid slack in the ropes. In this case, the winching can also be done at the lower end of the incline. This practice is used for funiculars with gradients below 6%, funiculars using sledges instead of cars, or any other case where it is not ensured that the descending car is always able to pull out the cable from the pulley in the station on the top of the incline.[2]

Gravity plane[edit source | editbeta]

Funiculars used in mines were sometimes unpowered gravity planes, also known as self-acting inclines or brake inclines. The weight of descending loaded wagons was used to pull the empty mine wagons.[4]

At the moment the palki carriers charge exorbitant rates which is paid by the rich and the very rich hijra gurus , too old to climb the Malangad mountains..

 

The rate can be from 4000 to 7000 one way I am told but it is a tough job mind you , and if you have the money than this is the only way to reach the Haji Malang Holy shrine as there is no motor able road to the top.

 

It takes me over 3 hours to reach the top as I tire easily ,being a asthmatic and a diabetic too and I climb and come down the mountains barefeet..

and how was your weekend?

 

well, that nebulizer photo from my last upload was rather prescient, it turns out. The cold turned into pneumonia, coupled with asthmatic lungs and then to make things more exciting, he had an allergic reaction to one of the meds the pediatrician put in the nebulizer. Luckily, we were in the pediatrician's office, but there was an ambulance. And there were life saving moments in the ER. And, wow. I am starting to cry again just thinking about it. But as of last night, we are home again, and the twinkle is back in his eyes and the labored breathing is gone. Grateful for that. And really grateful for quick thinking, well-trained doctors and modern medicine and the fact that I have quick access to both.

 

Hug your littles tight through the storm. Both the one on the news and the one that only hits your house.

Don Oliver

 

At 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing in at 124kgs during the height of his sporting career Don Oliver was a big man with an even bigger heart. “The Don” renowned New Zealand strong man spent much of his life helping others. [1] [2]

 

He was a gold and silver medalist in the Commonwealth games and an Olympic weight lifter representing his country at 3 Olympic games in 1960, 1964 and 1968. [1] From 1959 Don Oliver was the heavyweight champion for 10 years running. He drew a crowd of supporters whenever he competed and was the public face of his sport [3] Don is the only lifter to have won the Lonsdale cup which is awarded for excellence in a games sport [4] “The Don” was considered to be up there with the world’s elite. His best clean and jerk lift was 40lbs within the world record at an impressive 250kgs. Although Don retired from lifting in 1968 to focus on his business career he still had a lot to do with the sport for some years and in 1974 he coached the NZ Commonwealth Games team in Christchurch who came away with a record of 7 medals. [3] He also trained All Blacks Michael Jones, Inga “The Winga” Tuigamala, Eroni Clarke, Craig Dowd and many other successful athletes. [2]

 

Don Oliver was born and raised in Avondale Auckland, and when he was 21 years of age he purchased some land in Glen Eden. He worked as a butcher at Hellaby’s in South Auckland, and went on to teach butchery at Manukau Technical Institute. With his rise to sporting fame Don developed his own brand of barbells and exercise programmes. Don proved his theory that weightlifting could be of assistance to asthmatics yet was unable to undertake a specialist’s request to train asthmatic patients due to his weightlifting commitments. However once his weightlifting career had ended he sold his exercise equipment company and used the proceeds to build a house for he and his wife Maureen and a gym on his land in Glen Eden to help people from all walks of life with their health and fitness including asthmatics. And while the Gym was being completed he ran classes for asthmatics under the house. Don eventually had 4 fitness centres operating.

 

Don was the founding chairman of the Auckland Asthma society and after discovering that particular exercises helped him with his mood at a time when he was burnt out, he developed exercise programmes to assist others in overcoming depression. [2] Don was a deeply religious man who had a passion to help others particularly young people, and it was this work that inspired a group of West Auckland leaders to create the Don Oliver Youth Sport Foundation in Dons memory in 1996 [2] [5] The foundation in which the Oliver family are also involved are funded by the West Auckland community and provide scholarships and support to talented young West Auckland athletes [5]

 

In the 1981 Queens Birthday honours Don was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his services to weightlifting and the community. [1] And in 1990 he was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall Of Fame [3]

 

Don discovered that he was dying of cancer late in 1995. [3] He passed away on the 26th February 1996 and was interred at Waikumete Cemetery, Western Lawn A Row 5, Plot 1X [6]

His headstone reads:

In Loving Memory Of

DONALD CARTHEW OLIVER

“DON”

16.4.1937 – 26.2.1996

Dearly loved husband of

MAUREEN

Loving father

Of STEPHEN, CHRISTINE, and JANINE

 

Dons favourite verse

I Know whom I have

Believed and am

persuaded that he

is able to keep that

which I have committed

unto him against

that day.

11 Timothy 1:12

Sahib Bibi lives 6km from the hospital and arrived on foot. She was suffering from asthmatic fever but was also diagnosed with hepatitis C during routine blood tests. After a six month course of treatment, she is now fully recovered. Hepatitis C treatment costs just £50.

today was an incredibly tough day. after taking down photos and art that have hung on our walls for more than fifteen years, cramming them into two cars, and driving them over to a still-mostly-empty apartment, i felt my world slipping. crumbling. florian felt it too. we went out for breakfast at quinn's (best breakfast in beacon), and as he told me about his parents having recently called -- my inlaws, who haven't once asked how i am since they heard about the split back in july -- i just let the tears fall down my face. letting my guard down, i let the sadness wash over me, feeling it intensely. florian reached over and wiped away a tear, and we just held hands, commiserated, and talked. when my french toast came, i dried my eyes, drank some coffee, and got on with it.

 

after we got everything unloaded, he headed home, and i stopped by the shelter to say hi to audrey and the gang. when i came in, the very first cat i saw was edward.

 

edward is... well, he's edward. he's got the most unusual face i've ever seen on a cat. he whines a lot, an asthmatic croak that makes him sound like a cranky old man. he can be very loving, and then he can get truly cranky and lash out... and then come back as if nothing had happened, giving and taking more love. i think he looks like an edward gorey cat, so now (to me) he's not just edward, he's edward gorey.

 

cheryl saw me come in and said, "come see this fluffy new kitten!" they were doing intake on a tiny two-month-old furball they'd named roxette, who looked up at me with these tiny, open, curious eyes. i laid my hands on her downy back and felt her purring and shivering at the same time, scared at all the change surrounding her, but safe in her instinctual knowledge that she was in good hands, she'd be ok. i looked down at her, and saw myself.

 

on my way out, i went over to reprimand edward, who'd just scratched the hell out of a volunteer. he looked up at me with his insanely sad eyes, rasped his crocodile whine, and head butted me with affection.

Gordon Roger Alexander Buchanan Parks.

 

Driven by this determination to "drive failure from my dreams and to push on," Parks became the first black photographer to work at magazines like Life and Vogue, and the first black to work for the Office of War Information and the Farm Security Administration. Parks achieved these milestones in the 1940s. Later, in the 1960s, he helped break racial barriers in Hollywood as the first black director for a major studio. He co-produced, directed, wrote the screenplay, and composed the musical score for the film based on his 1963 novel, The Learning Tree. The film was later placed on the National Film Register by the Library of Congress.

 

Parks began his cinematic career by writing and directing a documentary about Flavio in 1962. In 1968 he became the first black to produce and direct a film for a major studio, Warner Bros. Seven Arts.

In 2002, at the age of 90, Gordon Parks received the Jackie Robinson Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum. These honors were only the two latest tributes bestowed on a man whose achievements in photography, literature, film, and ballet have earned him more than twenty doctorates and numerous awards. When asked why he undertook so many professions, Parks told Black Enterprise "At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it. I suffered evils, but without allowing them to rob me of the freedom to expand."

 

The youngest of fifteen children, Gordon Parks was born into the devout Methodist family of Sarah Ross Parks and Andrew Jackson Parks in 1912 in Fort Scott, Kansas. It was a town "electrified with racial tension," Parks remembered. The family was dirt-poor, but the children were taught to value honor, education, and equality, as well as the importance of telling the truth. The security that Parks derived from the quiet strength of his father and his mother's love was shattered when she died during his fifteenth year. As he recalled in Voices in the Mirror, he spent the night alone with her coffin, an experience he found both "terror-filled and strangely reassuring."

 

After his mother's death, Parks was sent to live with a sister and her husband in St. Paul, Minnesota. His high school education was cut short when, after an argument, his sister's husband threw him out of the house just before Christmas one year. Suddenly and unexpectedly on his own, Parks was forced to take a variety of temporary jobs that included playing piano in a brothel and mopping floors. As a busboy at the Hotel Lowry in St. Paul, he played his own songs on the piano there and joined a band that was on tour after the leader heard him play.

 

Unfortunately, the band broke up when they returned to New York. Stuck in Harlem, living in a rat-infested tenement and unable to find work, Parks joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933. He married Sally Alvis in 1933 and returned to St. Paul in 1934, taking a job there as a dining car waiter and porter on the North Coast Limited. The couple had three children, Gordon, Jr., Toni, and David.

 

His Early Interest in Photography

 

Parks became interested in photography while working on the railroad. He took his first pictures in Seattle, Washington, in 1937, at the end of his "run" from St. Paul. As Parks recalled for The Black Photographers Annual, "I bought my first camera in a pawn shop there. It was a Voigtlander Brilliant and cost $12.50. With such a brand name, I could not resist." He took his first pictures on Seattle's waterfront, even falling off the pier as he photographed sea gulls in flight. Upon his return to the Midwest, he dropped his film off at Eastman Kodak in Minneapolis. "The man at Kodak told me the shots were very good and if I kept it up, they would give me an exhibition. Later, Kodak gave me my first exhibition," Parks recalled.

 

Against all odds, Parks made a name for himself in St. Paul as a fashion photographer. When Marva Louis, the wife of heavy-weight champion, Joe Louis, saw his photographs on display in a fashionable store, she encouraged him to move to Chicago where she could steer more fashion work his way. Using the darkroom of Chicago's South Side Arts Center, a black community arts center, he supported his family through fashion photography while documenting life in the city's slums. His documentary photographs won him a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship in 1941, paying him $200 a month and offering him his choice of employer. In January 1942, he went to work in Washington, D.C., for Roy Emerson Stryker in the photography section of the Farm Security Administration, where he joined some of the finest documentary photographers in the country.

 

Parks took one of his most significant photographs on his first day in the nation's capital. He called it "American Gothic, Washington, D.C.," a portrait of Mrs. Ella Watson, a black woman who had mopped floors for the government all her life, posed with a mop and broom in front of an American flag. After a day of facing racial prejudice in restaurants and stores, Parks was angry when he took the photo. As the first black in the FSA, Parks did all he could to break down racial barriers, and he had the full support of his boss, Roy Stryker. While at the FSA, Parks took documentary photographs of everyday life. He spoke of his camera as if it were a weapon, "I had known poverty firsthand, but there I learned how to fight its evil—along with the evil of racism—with a camera."

 

After the FSA disbanded in 1943, Parks worked as a correspondent for the Office of War Information, where he taught himself about "writing to the point." One of his assignments was photographing the training of the first unit of black fighter pilots, the 332nd Fighter Group. Prohibited from accompanying them to Europe and documenting their participation in the war effort, Parks left in disgust and moved back to Harlem. In New York, he attempted to land a position with a major fashion magazine. The Hearst Organization, publisher of Harper's Bazaar, would not hire a black man. Impressed by Parks's experience, famed photographer Edward Steichen sent him to Alexander Liberman, director of Vogue magazine. Liberman put Parks in touch with the senior editor of Glamour magazine, and by the end of 1944 Parks's photographs appeared in both magazines. Parks's former boss, Roy Stryker, offered him a position with Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1944. Parks would stay there until he joined Life magazine as a photojournalist in 1948, shooting pictures of the company's executives and doing a notable documentary series for Standard Oil on life in America.

 

Began Career at Life Magazine

 

Parks's first assignment for Life was one of his most significant, a profile of Harlem gang leader Red Jackson. It was an idea Parks himself suggested, and he stayed with the gangs for three months. His most famous photograph of Red Jackson is one in which the gang leader has a .45 pistol in his hand, waiting for a showdown with a rival gang. Parks would work at Life for nearly a quarter of a century, until 1972, completing more than 300 assignments. When asked by The Black Photographers Annual to name his most important stories for Life, Parks listed the Harlem gang story, his first Paris fashion shoot in 1949, the Ingrid Bergman-Roberto Rosellini love affair on Stromboli, a cross-country U.S. crime series, an American poetry series that interpreted in photographs the works of leading U.S. poets, the Black Muslims and Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and Martin Luther King's death. By the early 1960s, Parks was writing his own essays to accompany his photographs in Life.

 

Parks provided the readers of Life magazine with a unique view of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. As Phil Kunhardt, Jr., assistant managing editor of Life, recalled for Deedee Moore, "At first he made his name with fashion, but when he covered racial strife for us, there was no question that he was a black photographer with enormous connections and access to the black community and its leaders." It was Malcolm X's trust of Parks that allowed him to do a feature on the Black Muslim leader. Malcolm X wrote of Parks in his autobiography, "Success among whites never made Parks lose touch with black reality."

 

Real life and photography were often closely intertwined in Parks's work. In 1961 he was on assignment in Brazil to document poverty there. He met a young, asthmatic boy named Flavio Da Silva who was dying in the hills above Rio de Janeiro. Parks's now-famous photo-essay on Flavio resulted in donations of thousands of dollars, enabling Parks to bring the boy to a clinic in the United States for treatment. Flavio was cured and lives today outside of Rio; Parks and Flavio have remained friends.

Embarked On Cinematic Sojourn

 

The film, The Learning Tree, was based on Parks's 1963 autobiographical novel and featured lush romanticism. Surprisingly, Parks also directed some highly commercial dramas, including Shaft (1971), Shaft's Big Score (1972), and The Super Cops (1974). As described by Donald Bogle in Blacks in American Films and Television, "Almost all his films [except The Super Cops] reveal his determination to deal with assertive, sexual black heroes, who struggle to maintain their manhood amid mounting social/political tensions.... In some respects, his films ... can generally be read as heady manhood initiation rituals."

 

The commercial success of the Shaft films put MGM studios back on its feet financially after some difficult times, but Parks was not assured of a lasting place in Hollywood. Something of a maverick, Parks found himself in a dispute with Paramount Pictures over the distribution and promotion of his 1976 film, Leadbelly, which tells the story of the legendary folk and blues singer. Paramount's new management denied the film a New York opening, thus lessening its impact, and Parks felt the advertising campaign made the movie appear to be another "blaxploitation" film. Declining to do another Hollywood movie, Parks went on to film several documentaries for television and the Public Broadcasting System, including Solomon Northrup's Odyssey, The World of Piri Thomas, Diary of a Harlem Family, and Mean Streets.

 

The Learning Tree, Parks's autobiographical novel and subsequent film, was his first published work of fiction. The story is about a black family in a small Kansas town; it focuses on Newt Winger, the youngest son. As described in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, "On one level, it is the story of a particular Negro family who manages to maintain its dignity and self-respect as citizens and decent human beings in a border Southern town. On another, it is a symbolic tale of the black man's struggle against social, economic, and natural forces, sometimes winning, sometimes losing.... Because the family is portrayed as a normal American family whose blackness is a natural circumstance and therefore not a source of continual pain and degradation, the book contributes greatly to a positive view of black people."

 

Parks followed The Learning Tree with A Choice of Weapons. Published in 1966, it was the first of three autobiographical works he would write. The book detailed in a fairly straightforward manner the time of his life that was fictionalized in The Learning Tree, covering Parks's life from the time of his mother's death to 1944. It was a time that Parks has described as "a sentence in hell."

Awarded Springarn Medal

 

Parks's second volume of memoirs was published in 1979. To Smile in Autumn begins in 1944, when his first fashion photographs were appearing in Vogue and Glamour, and ends in 1978, when Parks had done just about everything he had set out to do. His creative output during that period was phenomenal. In addition to his work in film and television, Parks published several volumes of his own poetry with accompanying photographs. In 1972 the NAACP awarded him the prestigious Spingarn Medal following the publication in 1971 of Born Black, a collection of articles on notable African-Americans. By 1975 Parks was married to his third wife, editor Genevieve Young, and had a major retrospective showing twenty-five years of his photographs in New York. He lived in New York in a large apartment overlooking the East River near the United Nations building.

 

As Voices in the Mirror attests, though, Parks was not about to retire. In 1988 he received the National Medal of Arts from President Reagan, and his autobiographical film, Moments without Proper Names, aired on PBS. He completed the musical score and libretto for Martin, a ballet about Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1989 and began filming it for PBS, where it was shown on King's birthday in 1990. Grace Blake, the producer of Martin, had worked with Parks on some of his Hollywood films. She told the Smithsonian, "Gordon's vision of this whole project is so important to all of us.... There are not that many good projects being done about black people.... [Martin] is totally conceived by a black man who is an artist—who wrote the libretto, the music, directed the film, worked on the choreography, narrated, did his own fund raising. Absolutely, we know we are working with a genius."

 

In 1995 Parks donated his archives of films, photographs, writings, and other memorabilia to the Library of Congress. Parks said the donation was made because, as he told Jet, "I wanted it all stored under one roof and a roof that I could respect." In 1998 he published Half Past Autumn: A Retrospective. The book accompanied a traveling exhibit of his work organized by the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Parks donated 227 pieces of artwork from the show to the Corcoran Gallery later in 1998.

 

In 2002 the 90-year-old Parks was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum in Oklahoma City and received the Jackie Robinson Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award. Although he was no longer as active as he once was, his body of work is still being recognized as an amazing contribution to American culture.

Parks, who was 93, passed away at his home in New York City on March 7, 2006.

Five-Five Hole (2016)

 

This particular CD made its way to me, I think, primarily due to the fact that I've been active on Rocket From The Crypt message boards and listservs since the mid 90's. Sir Coyler is one of the fellows that I've met along the way and it's always interesting to see the sort of music that folks you know create. Luckily, I don't need to say nice things out of some sort of misplaced loyalty. Don't Shake is a fun album that I would have been happy to review even if I didn't internet-know this guy.

 

There's a good mish mash of rock and roll styles throughout the course of this album. Some songs have a a straight forward noisy garage sound like "S.L.V.M." or "Invisible Blues." Then you have others that lean more toward a borderline boogie feel such as "Charades at the Condo." There's even some cool surf moments like the instrumental "Sticky D's." If you've got an itch, seems like Sir Coyler and his crew are happy to try to scratch it for you.

 

The songs that tend to stand out to me are the ones that lean on the poppier side of things and have those big hooks that I like, but the whole album is a fun ride from start to finish. These guys are likely under the radar a bit, so they're worth digging for. Well, I'll dig for you:
