Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Saturday Dawn - POV - 8/29

There are aliens in the mirrors.

After a night during which the feeds were blocked a good portion, the power of veto comp is over. And, look who's wearing the necklace -- Michele. Now, all of a sudden, Natalie and Kevin are her new best friends. It was an odd evening before the feeds block. Here's how everything went down:

• They ate together, but separately bashed each other. Kevin and Natalie bashed Michele and Jordan/Jeff dependent on occasion. Jeff and Jordan bashed Michele.
• All in all, there are two distinct camps -- Kevin/Natalie and Jordan/Jeff. Michele is a lone wolf and no one really has her figured out. She has different tales for whomever is listening and no one really knows her at all.
• Then came the aliens. We've seen this before. Jordan spotted one first in the mirror in the kitchen while Michele was washing dishes.
• Jordan thought it was funny, not scary. Michele didn't quite believe her.
• That is, until Michele went to the bathroom. When she saw the face in the mirror, she laughed and said it was amusing.
• There was another one in the splish splash room and yet another one appeared in the HOH room as Jordan tried to tell Kevin and Natalie about them.
• Kevin seemed to think they're a bit creepy but just about everyone else think they're funny.
• Kevin thinks they opened Pandora's Box in the earlier not-a-luxury comp in the yard -- now evil will unleash.
• They were told it would be a midnight PoV.
• So there was a scurry of studying.
• Michele and Jeff clashed. She said he called her a liar and made her look bad in the Pandora's Box.
• He said it was because he thought she was lying.
• Michele cried.
• She muttered to herself that she hates him. I think the latest him is Jeff, not Russell.
• Jeff and Jordan think Michele is going crazy and that it's funny.
• Jeff (once again) told Jordan how important it is to focus.
• For some odd reason, all of the others think Michele knows what's behind the Pandora's Box story and just isn't telling them.
• They were getting clues in the Diary Room for something.
• Jordan assured Jeff that Natalie told her the plan is to get Michele out of the house.
• Michele told Natalie that her (Natalie) performance in the last HOH was so horrible she had to throw it. Natalie denied throwing the comp.
• Finally, when pressured, Natalie just said, "Okay, I threw it." I think she did it to shut Michele up.
• Then the PoV went down, so did the feeds.
• From what they're saying, it sounds like the face morphing comp again.
  
• Michele to America, "Your boyfriend is going home."
• Michele told Natalie and Kevin that her plan all along was to take out Jeff and Jordan.
• Michele, Kevin, and Natalie all say they have to get Jordan out of the house before the final three as she would win the jury vote over them.
• Natalie is sure she will win HOH next week. Yeah, right.
• Jordan told Natalie that she's willing to go home instead of Jeff this week.
• Oh my.
• Natalie told Jordan that if she wants her to vote her out, she will.
• I doubt she will if she has the chance to get Jeff out.
• Jeff found out Jordan was campaigning to leave over him and told her to stop it.
• He told her she was the sweetest girl in the world.
• Jeff admitted he got too cocky and said that Kevin's move to put him on the block was the right move for Kevin.
• Jeff is sure he will be evicted this week.
• I personally don't see any other scenario myself.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations 8/28

After a long (two hours-ish) feeds block, they're back. As Kevin indicated to both Jeff and Michele earlier ... they're both on the block.

There are no fireworks. Michele stocked the toilet tissue and Jeff is cooking.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Friday Daytime 8/28

Yes, here I am ... down here! And, here are the happenings from today inside that Big Brother House of Looney Toons:

• It started off slow today. Apparently BB wanted them to clean house. No, I don't mean of Russell -- that was last night!
• Nominations are today according to the plasma screen. Well, duh. I think they should know that by now.
• Jeff plans to campaign to get Michele out.
• Well, duh. He knows that Kevin won't put Natalie on the block. Either he or Jordan will be on the block with Michele. It's not like there are plenty of hamsters to choose from.
• Jeff thinks he'll be backdoored this week.
• He could very well be right.
• Once again they have an ant problem in the kitchen. This happens every season.
• I don't have ants in my kitchen.
• BB called an indoor lockdown and ... surprise, surprise ...
• ... it's not the mystery door.
• They were told it wasn't a luxury competition.
• But it was indeed a luxury -- money hidden all over the yard. They each gathered a bunch.
• Of course, the feeds were blocked, so we didn't see it.
• Kevin is talking to everyone to "see where their heads are at."
• Natalie told Michele that she would put her up if she were head of house, but she isn't.
• Michele thinks she for sure will be on the block.
• I'm pretty sure she's right there.
• Kevin told Jordan that if he does put her on the block, she isn't the target and if it's a tie, she won't go home.
• I'm really not sure what he'll do. Getting Jeff out would be a smart move. But if Jeff wins veto, the target would go right on Kevin.
• He's hinting to Jordan and Jeff that he wants Michele out this week.
• But, as far as I know, both Natalie and Kevin still want to go after Jeff.
• In a talk with Jeff, Kevin pretty much said it will be Jeff and Michele on the block.
• Jeff says that if he (or Jordan) don't win the veto, he'll be going home.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Friday Dawn 8/28

This is the first time there haven't been distinct "I hate you" sides with a HOH win. No one in the house doesn't like Kevin. But that doesn't mean that everyone is necessarily thrilled to death that he won.

• Natalie told Kevin that she wanted to win the comp to vindicate Chima and put Michele on the block. She had her speech all prepared and everything. But she calls it "vindiction." I just can't do that.
  
• Then why didn't she try to win the comp?
• Michele cried. And cried. I believe she thinks it's the beginning of her end in the house.
• I don't know if Kevin will do Natalie's bidding, but he's often said he doesn't trust or care for Michele.
• She probably should cry.
• Natalie is sure she will win the next HOH. She thinks it will be a memory-based comp.
• I'm sure she'll continue her streak of not winning.
  
• Michele cried some more.
• Natalie seemed to automatically assume she would be moving into the HOH room.
• Kevin didn't invite her, nor did he protest her assumption.
• Natalie, Kevin, Jeff, and Jordan sat around Russell-bashing.
• Kevin said Michele has thrown him under the bus many times.
• Jeff is sure that they'll put Michele on the block (probably right) and that she's the target this week (possibly not).
• Jeff has washed his hands of Michele.
• Kevin told Jeff and Jordan that Russell told him he had Jordan's vote to stay.
• Now, that would have been ludicrous! He called her fat!
• Kevin got his HOH room. He was super emotional with his letter from his partner.
• Natalie went through his basket of goodies as if they were hers. She claims the Mike's Hard Lemonade for herself.
• Gee, is she old enough to drink?
  
• I would so love it if Kevin abandoned Natalie.
• But I doubt he'd do that.
• He got an Enrique CD and they're all playing up on Enrique.
• Natalie keeps saying she wants Michele gone.
• Jordan thinks she herself will be going home.
• Jeff thinks he'll be backdoored.
• Yet, no one has said anything bad about Kevin.
• You know, Kevin is growing on me.
• They think there will be a luxury comp today.
• Natalie told Kevin they should stick to their original plan - get rid of Jeff.
• Kevin thinks production likes him now and the HOH comp was made for him.
• Kevin thinks they have to get Jeff out now before the final three round of competitions. He thinks no one would be able to beat Jeff in them.
• I like Jeff, but I think Kevin's right.
• They stayed up all night talking downstairs and upstairs. No brouhahas although Michele cried us a river.
• Boy, I'd love if Kevin turned on Natalie just because she irks me and she has attached herself to power all season while doing horrible in comps.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds - HOH Comp 8/27

10:25 PM ET - Feeds finally returned. As expected, Kevin is wearing the HOH key.


10:10 PM ET - We've had a long feeds blockage (about 7 minutes). Methinks there is a winner.

10 PM ET - Natalie is beginning to remind me of one of the crypt creatures from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video in this comp. Kevin is just about there. He is SO going to deserve the win. He's jogged for about an hour now.


9:50 PM ET: Kevin is jogging back and forth and barely slipping. Michele isn't as fast, but doing well. Jordan went down, but is back up. Natalie whined about losing her cup in the barrel and probably wanted to use that as an excuse to quit.



9:40 PM ET - Heh. Michele is the only one wiping the top of her contraption each time after pouring a cup. It must be the lab rat in her. Unless something happens, this is going to be Kevin's game to win.


9:30 PM ET - Kevin in lead, Michele second, Jordan third ... who knows what Natalie's doing. She's more interested in cheerleading Kevin and talking than doing the comp. BTW - Feeds are horrible tonight technical-wise. I lost mine and had a heck of a time reloading them.




9:09 PM ET - Feeds return ... looks like Kevin is in the lead followed by Jordan. Here's a shocker -- Natalie has the least.


As I get this posted, the feeds are still blocked. Once they're up, I'll update. But feel free to mingle, snack, and imbibe in comments while we wait.

Big Brother 11 Live Eviction Show Blog Party Post - 8/27

The show has started here on the East Coast. This post will be updated with the major events as it airs, but the real fun is in the comments section. Everyone is welcome, bring your own snacks and beverages! Later tonight my show review will be posted on TV Squad.

Yay! We got footage of Jordan chest-bumping Russell! Of course, we got a lot of the Russell/Jeff verbal brouhaha, too. Upcoming is the vote (of course) and Jessie gets his new jury house roomie -- Lydia.

Julie announced that Have - Have Not is over for the season.

The vote to evict:
Jordan --> Russell
Kevin --> Russell
Michele --> Russell

Russell is evicted. He went out totally classy (although a bit backpedalling).

The HOH comp started. It's going to go on beyond the show as the four are running across a slick "graham cracker" filling a 16 gallon bowl with 8 ounce mugs of hot chocolate. I'll be setting up a separate post after the show ends to monitor the HOH comp on the feeds. While not an endurance, it's going to take some time.

Julie said there will be a new twist to HOH next week which will affect everyone.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into the Dawn Thursday 8/27

Gee, at least when Russell was rampaging, things were interesting. Here's the news from the late night/overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Survivor Will Be Here Soon:

• Michele once again said that she wouldn't bring Russell to the final two -- why would she give him $50,000?
• Jeff thinks Michele will target Natalie and Kevin if she wins HOH. Then they can stab her in the back the next week.
• Natalie plans to put Michele and Jeff on the block if she wins HOH, with Jeff as the target.
• Of course, she told Russell this, not Jeff.
• Kevin and Natalie are taking this all seriously. They've been studying for any possible question-based comp for hours.
• Russell has been nearby occasionally mentioning things or correcting facts.
• Kevin is tired of Jeff thinking he's a god in the house because America voted for him for the coup d'etat.
• Kevin and Natalie are very worried that America might have a hand in the jury vote -- they believe America and the show producers love Jeff and Jordan.
• Natalie and Kevin went through Michele's drawers and duffel bag looking to steal Michele's gloves because they can't find Natalie's.
• They didn't find them and BB told them they had to go to bed by 2 AM.
• Kevin and Michele think they have secured the jury vote of Russell by their recent bonding (and Natalie's lie telling about Michele).
• Jeff and Jordan cuddled and talked a long time.
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into the Evening Wednesday 8/26

Lots of fingernail interest going on.

What? Together again?

Despite the excitement this afternoon, things have been rather dull this evening. Odd, perhaps. But dull, for sure.

• Odd: Jeff refers to Russell and himself as "kid.' Now, I might think of them as kids at 25 and 31. But when I was 25 and later 31, I didn't think of myself or my friends as "kids." I joke about the kid inside, but I can't help but wonder what happened to the generation?
  
• Michele continues to befuddle me. She's in with Jeff and Jordan, out with Russell. The next moment she's in with Russell again and he's making her dinner.
• Russell doesn't befuddle me. He's working every angle he can to stay in the house.
• He tried to convince Kevin that if he were to vote out Natalie, he'd be in an alliance of three (Russell, Michele, Kevin) against two (Jordan, Jeff).
• Kevin may be scheming to get Jeff out, but I get the feeling he likes Jeff.
  
• He doesn't like either Michele or Russell.
• He's frightened of Russell.
• Natalie, Jeff, Jordan, and Kevin gathered in the HOH room for Russell and Michele bashing.
• None of them can read her.
• Neither can I.
• Nor can Russell, methinks.
• Natalie had the gall to say that Michele didn't take a shower after one of the comps.
• You heard me.
  
• Michele reported back to Jeff that Russell thinks he has Kevin's vote.
• She does seem a bit more at ease talking with Jeff.
• I still can't say I can read her.
• Now Natalie, with Kevin eating Russell's gastronomical goodies meal, is reporting to Russell everything Jeff said about Michele.
• I'm confused. That's all for now.
• I want Jordan to beat up Russell just for my own entertainment.
  

Russ is cooking for himself and Michele.

Jeff hangs out with his buddies Natalie and Kevin while Jordan is in the diary room.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Wednesday Daytime & Brouhaha 8/26

No, he didn't get socked in the jaw, not because he didn't try to provoke a punch, mind you.


Natalie is such a pig when she eats. She eats with her mouth open and takes huge chomps, often talking with a mouth full of food.


Jordan went through a freak-out rant on Russell, tears, and now is just very subdued.

Yep, I wanted a brouhaha and I got one today. Here's the scoop:

• Michele talked to Jeff -- she's worried that Russell is working on Kevin to vote to keep him.
• Not all that long after they got up (late), Russell started the brouhaha by taunting Jeff in the backyard.
• He exhibited the same behavior he showed when following/teasing/taunting Ronnie.
• Jeff is no Ronnie.
• He shouted back.
• All of a sudden, Jordan rushed into the middle of it totally going off on Russell.
• She screamed in his face!
• She actually BUMPED Russell who, despite his propensity for bullying, would draw the line at hitting a girl.
• "I'm not scared of you," Jordan screamed at the top of her lungs.
• Fine, now I have a fear of Jordan. She's dangerous!
• Jeff, in some weird guy kind of thing, told Russell that he (Russell) wanted to have sex with him.
• Of course, that gave Russell ammunition to declare Jeff gay.
• Jeff told Jordan to stay out of it, it's not her fight.
• Jordan socked Jeff a good one.
• Okay, I made that up.
• Scream, gnash, holler, hoot!
• Finally, BB shut the fight down before fisticuffs could go down.
• I think my money would have been on Jordan. I didn't think she had it in her to be so angry!
• Natalie told Kevin if he votes to keep Russell in, she'll stab him in the heart.
• I'm sure she said it with love.
• Now Kevin is once again scared of Russell.
• Everyone is avoiding Russell, for obvious reasons.
• Russell is acting very weird. One moment he'll be walking along and give a camera a huge grin, then he's moping, then -- when he saw Jeff -- he went into his sing-song bully voice taunting Jeff about being gay.
• I think Michele has washed her hands of Russell.
• Natalie told Russell that Michele reported all of her conversations with him to Jeff.
• So Russell has washed his hands of Michele, too.
• Russell is a man alone. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have more meltdowns up his sleeve.
• As I get this posted everyone but Russell is having fun with the HOH camera.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Dawn 8/26

Oh, I am so cheating today. I'm giving you more screencaps than words! Why? Because these hamsters haven't given me much to write about, not much new anyway. You'll notice in the screencaps I'm posting that I now have a second one of Russell with yet a different hanger. I don't believe we've ever had a hanger-fixated hamster before.

Here's the biggest happenings of the evening and overnight hours ... and enjoy the purty piktures!

• Natalie and Kevin now have two covert operations -- Operation Sleep Deprivation and Operation Hide Sh** (let's say Stuff).
• Russell moped around by himself a lot, then later talked anti-Jeff with Michele and the Covert Kids.
• They played cards.
• They played pool.
• Kevin told the tale of the only time he ever stole anything. It actually boiled down to the store didn't charge him for things rather than him actually stealing things with intent. He wouldn't make a good criminal.
• Russell claimed that he sneaked out to a sushi bar while they were in pre-show sequester.
• They talked about what accompanying foods voted by America were best with the slop.
• Natalie and Russell bonded.
• Ew, just the thought.
• Russell, Michele, Kevin, and Natalie stayed up through the wee hours while Jordan and Jeff retired for the night.
• Now, do you see why I'm bored?

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Daytime Tuesday 8/25

Tonight's show should be more interesting than the live feeds today. I want to see the look on Russell's face and the Jeff/Russell testosterone battle! Here's the skinny on today in that Big Brother House of Fools and Their Money Are Soon Parted:

• Jordan told Jeff she won't feel that they're safe next week unless she wins HOH.
• She doesn't really trust Michele, Natalie or Kevin.
• She shouldn't.
• Jordan told Natalie that she told Michele that she "better not" vote for Russell to stay.
• Gee, what if she does?
• When Michele talked about Russell campaigning and singling her out for derision, Jeff freaked out saying he was sick of Russell.
• Jeff, gorgeous as he is, does have quite a temper and quite a [bleepin'] mouth on him.
• Kevin and Natalie talked about getting Michele in an alliance with them.
• Kevin said he doesn't like any plan which includes Michele.
• I don't blame him. Michele has to be one of the flakiest allies I've ever seen in the house.
• Kevin and Natalie play their roles well. They've been reporting everything Russell says to them to Jordan.
• They think Russell will have an epic elimination speech.
• Lots of them this season, huh?
• Really, a lot of nothing so far today.
• Remember to stop back for the show blog post party tonight at 9:00 PM ET -- there will be a new post and snacks. You bring the beverages!
  
• 
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn 8/25

Russell, driven to the brink of insanity via the backdoor, tries to off himself by shoving a hanger up his nose.

Or not.

Here are the happenings from the Big Brother House of Foolish Follies:

• Supposedly Michele cried after the PoV ceremony -- this was what Kevin told Jeff anyway. I didn't see tears, but wouldn't be surprised.
• Kevin also told Jeff that Russell's going around saying he has Michele's vote and just needs one more.
• Kevin told Jeff what a good little loyal puppy dog he can be. After all, he stayed loyal to his pals Chima and Lydia.
• Jeff and Kevin bonded some more.
• On a purely platonic level, of course.
• Natalie tried to make nicey-nice with Russell, probably thinking of the jury vote. After all, her hands are clean in the latest.
• As far as Russell knows, both her and Kevin's hands have no blood.
• No, there's been no murder. I'm talking figurative blood.
• They all discussed The Amazing Race. I should mention I did NOT try out for TAR yesterday when they had the casting crew around here.
• Jordan moved all of her belongings to the HOH room because she's scared Russell will do something to them.
• Jeff thinks Kevin is acting strange after he took him off the block. Jordan insists he's grateful.
• Neither Jordan or Jeff trust Michele but feel they need to keep working with her.
• Jordan is scared she will be on the block next week.
• Russell, Natalie, and Kevin hung out together talking.
• Natalie once again mentioned she can only go to Indian casinos because she's so young.
• She doth protest too much -- there was no need for her to mention it again.
• But Russell isn't bright enough to pick up on it.
• I think Kevin's filing all of this age suspicion away in his mind, though.
• No more brouhahas.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Monday Daytime - PoV Meeting! 8/24

If looks could kill ... look at those dagger eyes on Russell! Yep, it happened. The PoV meeting was today and Jeff did what he said he was going to do. He saved Kevin and put Russell on the block with Natalie.

Here's how the day went down:

• BB woke up the hamsters early today -- around 8 AM. Of course, most of them were up into the wee hours. They're going to be sleepy.
• Jeff told Jordan he was going to take Kevin off the block because he'd be more likely to win (and put Michele up). He's going to tell Natalie and Kevin he drew a playing card to decide which one gets saved.
• Kevin and Natalie are way nervous. They don't want to look desperate, but want to just confirm the deal with Jeff and Jordan one more time.
• Natalie and Kevin have already decided that if either of them win, they'll put Jeff up. They'll tell him he's a pawn, of course.
• Then, if/when Jeff gets voted out, they'll explain to Jordan that the opportunity came up, he's such a strong player, blah-blah.
• Natalie thinks Ronnie was totally right about Michele.
• Kevin thinks they should give Michele a break because she's been through so much.
• Um, okay.
• Natalie claimed she hasn't won anything because she hasn't had to win anything. I think I've seen her trying ... she CAN'T win comps is the issue!
• The PoV meeting went down.
• Michele said that this will put her loyalty to Russell on the line.
• Jeff hadn't told Michele he was going to backdoor Russell although the thought has certainly come up in conversations.
• Kevin and Natalie are going on about how their last minute lie saved them.
• But they don't know their lie was actually the truth, just not witnessed by them.
• Russell reminded Jeff about swearing on families. He's mad.
• Jeff told him he had to know it was a smart move on his part.
• Remember, Russell was telling US in the diary room that Jeff should put him on the block. Now that he's there, it's all about betrayal.
• Almost violence! Russell warned Jeff that he's had it if he goes to the jury house. He'll "mop the floor with him."
  
• Russell also brought up that Jeff said he'd kill the families of anyone who breaks the final four agreement. (He did, but was obviously joking when he said it.)
• Russell shouted at Jeff.
• Jeff shouted at Russell.
• Macho, macho man ... oh, I want to be a macho man.
• Kevin and Natalie just looked amazed at their handiwork.
• Fight, fight.
• Threaten, threaten.
• And on.
• And on.
• No punches thrown.
• No maids screamed.
• Then it all went sort of calm.
• Kevin is scared Russell will punch him and went in hiding.
• Natalie is sucking up royally to Jeff and Jordan.
• Wait until she stabs that knife in his back.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Overnight Into Monday 8/24

Jordan and Jeff talk while watching the spy screen.

Here are the happenings since I last posted about the hamsters in the Big Brother House of Dudes and Dudettes:

• It was not a thrill a minute. Don't expect excitement over your morning coffee.
• Jordan and Michele worked out. Unlike many in the house, Michele has lost weight.
• Michele asked Jordan if she and Jeff thought something was up with her.
• Jordan told her they did.
• Michele claimed that Russell is just getting on her nerves.
• Kevin thinks Russell will play the "bro card" on Jeff -- he's hanging out with him doing guy kind of stuff.
• Kevin told Natalie he thinks she's going overboard by being too nice. He thinks they'll catch on because she's overdoing it.
• Jeff and Jordan memorized house facts for comps.
• Michele told Jeff that Russell needs to go.
• Michele told Jeff that she often felt that Russell wasn't on her team. He questioned what team that was -- going after the final two deal between Russell and Michele.
• Russell walked in on them.
• More card playing. I'm SO tired of watching them play cards. Take the cards away!
• Jeff once again talked with Russell. Russell claimed that things get twisted and what Jeff hears isn't what really happened.
• Jeff and Jordan went back to quizzing each other on house counts and facts ... all the while watching the spy screen.
• Natalie and Kevin played pool and continued to scheme away.
• Russell's been laying low and Michele refuses to take a cold shower before bed.
  
• The indicators are that Jeff is likely to use the veto tonight to save Kevin and put Russell on the block with Natalie.
• If that happens, we'll have some sort of excitement with Russell's reaction.
• We'll know by tonight.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Sunday Into the Evening 8/23

Blech. Sundays are the most boring day of the week in the BB house. Natalie said she likes them because they let them sleep in. Personally, I call getting up at 9:30 or 10:00 AM every morning sleeping in. Here's the non-events of today in the Big Brother House of Dreadful Doldrums:

• Michele's eyeglasses are broken. She thinks they were first damaged when the giant diploma in the HOH comp hit them. I'm wondering why she wore them for that.
• Jordan told Michele that she's always worried that Jeff might evict her similar to what Drew did to Diane that season. Showmances vs. money, money usually wins.
• Michele told Jordan she trusts her and Jeff 100%.
• Jordan told Michele that if Russell wins HOH next week, it would give him the perfect opportunity to get rid of Jeff.
• Jordan also told her she doesn't trust Russell, nor does she think he's all that grateful that Jeff saved him with the "wizard" power.
• Well, he's more grateful than Lydia was!
• Jordan reported her talk to Jeff. They think Russell will go berserk when backdoored.
• Natalie and Kevin continued to suck up to Jeff and Jordan.
• Michele is grouchy -- her glasses are broken, she thinks her partner in crime might be in danger, she thinks she herself might be in danger, and she's on slop.
• Kevin is scared that Jeff won't use the veto and the backdoor plan will be thrown out the door.
• Jordan would like Jeff to try to control his use of the f-bomb.
• That's just about it. Nothing but doldrums today.
• We need a brouhaha!
