When done properly, cycling is an effective and enjoyable form of aerobic exercise. Cycling can reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes according to a report by Kelley GA. Effects of Aerobic exercise in normotensive adults, 1995. It can reduce your ‘real age’, lowering it more than a decade lower than your chronological age.

The indirect health benefits include reducing serious injuries caused by falls in older people, osteoporosis, and hip fractures.

Statistics show that cyclists, even those who only travel short distances can reduce the risk of death by 22 per cent.

Optimum results are achieved when cyclists are breathing heavily, but are not out of breath. Exercise has been shown to increase HDL (“good” cholesterol) and reduce the amount of triglycerides in the blood. Again, this means improved cardiovascular health. This leads to a reduced chance of heart blockage and reduces the risk of stroke. There are some reports that link exercise to a lowered risk of developing some cancer, like colon cancer.

Cycling burns the calories in a chocolate bar or a couple of alcoholic drinks in one hour, 300 calories. Translated into modern lifestyle terms, a fifteen-minute bike ride, five times a week, burns off 11 pounds of fat a year and meets the requirements for reducing heath risks.

There is a trick to exercising. Running a nine-minute-mile burns 11 calories a minute. Walking at 18 minutes per mile burns five. Faster exercise burns more calories.

Exercise continues to burn fat after the workout ends. Once the sweating stops the body’s metabolisms remains high. You can you increase the post-exercise burn?

A few scientific studies suggest that exercising for 20 minutes at 35 to 55% of aerobic capacity, as in riding briskly, elevated metabolism for 20 minutes after stopping. That means that a 20 minute, brisk bike ride burns fat for 40 minutes.
Cycling has been proven to reduce stress and depression and relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.

The Department of Transport reports that 'even a small amount of cycling can lead to significant gains in fitness'. The study reveals that aerobic fitness was boosted by 11 per cent after six weeks of cycling 'short distances' four times a week and cycling four miles a day the aerobic benefit increased to 17 per cent.

The Fentem PH. ABC of sports medicine report, Benefits of exercise in health and disease, 1994 concludes that cycling is 'one of the few physical activities which can be undertaken by the majority of the population as part of a daily routine'.

The choice of bike is a personal thing.

Most people never cycle more than five miles, so choosing an expensive bike designed to challenge the most adventurous dare devils. Instead, choose a bike that will manage the local terrain, comfortably.

Equipment needs will also vary. Older people should consider elbow and knee guards. These will help prevent debilitating joint injuries that can seriously limit your mobility. A helmet is not optional.

Do not buy a helmet from a local hardware store. Get one from a bicycle specialty store. The selection is larger, and the quality better. Shopping at an online store can also save money.

Once introduced into the bicyle riding community, you'll soon set out on your daily cycle for the joy of it. Health benefits will be secondary

Someone on a previous post suggested , cut the sole and raise it in - and this will prevent a sway in the golf swing. Can somone who has done this be a little more descriptive on how to do this?
Please, spare the suggestions on lessons.

hi. take the shoe . right shoe . the shoemaker puts a small piece of plastic . 3 inches long . 3/4 inch hi9gh. at the back of the shoe to the sarch. this causes legs to stay stable, forces right knee to stay stable , and foot connected to rthe ground . it does work. please stay away from shoemakers in a mall just go to a small shop. a very high number of medical staff have the same thing done to thier shoes. when you tell the shoemaker what it is for. he will understand. it is a very simple illegal adjustment . the shoemaker will have you wait . cost under ten bucks. go for a walk before playing with the brace. after two months you could have it removed . there were shoes built this way early 90s . they worked so usga banned them . ken venturi, ben hogan, sam snead and byron nelson to name a few used this method . good luck . sorry spelling eyes screrwed up from cancer hack saw surgery .

After a nice long holiday break, I've come back to you with my thoughts on what's going on in the world of sports.

ONE: Another illustration of why Hockey players are the toughest athletes going.

In the New Years Eve Day game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Leaf defensemen Ric Jackman's ankle bent grotesquely under his body after Jackman leaped to avoid a Mats Lindgren hit.

Leaf coach Pat Quinn said the injury reminded him of "Joe Theisman." Quinn was referring to the famous hit on the NY Jet QB by Lawrence Taylor in a nationally televised game. Theisman's leg was very visibly broken on the play and the injury has achieved a mythic status in sports communities.

While Jackman's leg stayed inside its skin (unlike Theisman's) the prognosis for the Toronto defensemen was not good. Carried off the ice in a human chair formed by teammates Jackman was quickly treated by the Leaf training staff (who have been working overtime of late - at one point in the game the Leafs had less then ten players on their bench).

Then, in the third period Jackman made his return, literally leaping over the boards to play the final twenty minutes. As it turned out Jackman's leg had "just" gone numb. Fourty minutes later the feeling had returned and Jackman played on a badly swollen and twisted ankle.

How many basketball players can you see hobbling back in to a game in the 4th quarter -- getting ready to mix it up underneath the basket?

If you could put a injured player back into a game in baseball would a second baseman return to try to turn the double play and face a runner barreling down at him spikes raised?

Perhaps in Football, in a key game, you might see a lineman try to get back in there and do what he could, but in a "meaningless" regular season contest?

I've seen hockey players stitched up in the walkway after watching their face sliced open, play with broken bones in a game that features relentless pounding, skate on bad ankles, and legs, and do it all day in day out.

All sports require a healthy dose of being able to play with pain, but I can't think of another that has both the physical intensity, and the grinding schedule in which it's players so routinely find ways to get back on to the playing surface so quickly, regardless of the situation facing their team.

TWO: The Ottawa Senators have been a great success story so far in the NHL. With one of the league's lowest payrolls and after weathering a summer of withering criticism from their fans after another playoff exit the Sens have gone 23-9-5 and, by winning percentage, are the best team in the entire NHL.

Now though money issues threaten to ruin the whole thing. The Senators were not paid yesterday, their normal payday. Instead they received notes from team owner Rod Bryden indicating that they would be "taken care of in the next couple of days."

A complex banking deal went south when a US bank reportedly became uncomfortable with the deal and pulled out. Now the cash starved Sens and Bryden will have to regroup.

If the NHL has to step in there is a chance that the already bargain basement Senators ($31 million US payroll) would have to cut some salary. More likely though it means that Ottawa GM John Muckler will be unable to add any players for a stretch run.

Ottawa could badly use a big physical winger with some scoring touch for the playoffs where the more physical and gritty Toronto Maple Leafs has repeatedly ousted them.

It's the ugly world of sports -- it no longer matters how good your scouts are, or how smart your coaching staff is. The ultimate determinant between who will win and who will not is the almighty dollar.

ONE: Mark this name down, Brendan Bell. Bell is a defenseman playing for the Ottawa 67s in the Ontario Hockey League. Bell is also currently playing for team Canada at the World Junior Championships. Finally, to complete the hat trick Bell is a draft pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

I heard Bell speak on the Fan 590 a talk radio station in the Toronto area. The young man was one of the most well spoken 19 year olds I have ever heard. Not just 19 year old athletes mind you, but 19 year olds period. What a treat to hear a young man speak so articulately and interestingly about the World Juniors, it's effects on his game, and his future plans.

In addition, Bell made solid points about the style of game played in the International world of hockey vis-a-vis the NHL game. Bell was clear in his belief that a more wide open NHL game that allowed for "the smaller faster player" while removing the "big slow of foot guys" was for the best for the game and the fans.

The Leafs have had a lousy track record in the past at developing young defensemen, but with Bell's speed and size (6'1", 205 pounds) and obvious intelligence it seems Toronto has a good one in Bell.

TWO: A quick tip of the hat to German goaltender Dmitri Patzold. The German's are making their first trip back to the A pool of world junior hockey since 1998. The Germans push to get to the A pool was lead by two defensemen who have since grown too old to play in the tournament.

So, it has been no surprise that the Germans have struggled in the tournament. Germany finished the round robin 0-4-0 and outscored 18-3. Patzold however was as strong as could be. Except in the final game (a 7-2 loss to the Swedes) Patzold was outstanding. Patzold stopped 34 of 38 shots Team Finland took in the Germans 4-0 game 1 loss. Then Patzold stopped 27 of 30 Czech Republic drives, in a 3-0 German whitewashing.

Patzold's best day came in the third game when he almost single handedly threatened to upset Team Canada. The young Kazakhstan born netminder with German roots held team Canada off the score sheet for over half the game before the dam finally burst and Canada started scoring.

Patzold ended up facing 53 shots, stopping a remarkable 49 of them as Germany lost 4-1. Finally, against Sweden a tired Patzold was lifted, down 6-0, in what would end up a 7-2 loss to the Swedes.

Add it up and you'll see that in the first three games Patzold made 110 saves -- easily the most any goalie in the tournament made over the same period of time. The young German ended up a crowd favourite as the Halifax faithful applauded the German netminder when he made his exit against Sweden.

ONE: When the season began I took the Tennessee Titans and the Green Bay Packers as my standard bearers for the AFC and NFC respectively. Now, as we prepare to enter the playoffs do I still support these two squads?

Well, not exactly...

I do still like Tennessee, after a horrible start the Titans turned it on. They went 10-1 to finish the season. The one loss being a 13-12 setback to Baltimore. The Titans have their problems, yes. They aren't great against an air attack, and their reliance on the possession game is undermined by their poor average yards gained per rushing attempt.

However, the Titans are lead by a QB in Steve McNair who is defining winner. Eddie George is still a handful, and Jevon Kearse is getting stronger by the day. The Titans don't do anything fancy, but they have a solid defense, and a good game plan. If the Titans were getting out-coached, as their owner accused, to start the season, Jeff Fisher and co have fixed that problem since.

I like the Titans to come out of the AFC. They are going to be faced with a problem if they have to play Oakland in Oakland for the title game, but I believe they will find a way to win that one. Pittsburgh and Cleveland can't throw the ball well enough to beat Tennessee while I don't think Indianapolis or the NY Jets have the defense needed to keep the Titans from dominating the time of possession battle.

In the NFC, and it pains me to say this, I think Green Bay cost themselves a Super Bowl spot when they were drubbed by the Jets at Giants stadium.

Green Bay, who with the possible exception of the Mexican National Soccer team, has the greatest home field advantage in all of sports, could have sewn up home field in the NFC with a win. Instead they finished as the third seed. Not only, does this mean the banged up Packers need to play an extra game it means that they will have to travel for their second round game. Favre has not been great on the road and the Packers are not likely to be healthy enough to beat the Philadelphia Eagles or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road.

I think Philadelphia will be the team to represent the NFC. While they struggled all around against the Giants, they were able to keep New York from running away with the game, and if not for a missed David Akers field goal, may very well have won outright. The Eagles have a great defense, and in Memorial Stadium with that cold wind, and those borderline psychotic fans the eagles will be very tough to beat.

Oh, yeah, and that guy, Donovan McNabb, apparently he's going to be healthy or some junk.

So, I see Philadelphia and the Titans coming together in San Diego.

TWO: The New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers get the blah! of the week award.

New Orleans earns it for losing 10-6 at home to Carolina when a win would have sent them to the playoffs. Congrats boys, you finally held an opponent to under 20 points, but somehow you failed to score a touchdown at home against the Panthers.

The worst thing about this is that the Saints would have known before the end of their game about the Falcons loss to Cleveland. Knowing that they needed to win to get in the Saints rallied together and managed to do sweet bugger all.

Nice work guys -- good way to lose that 'Aint's moniker you're so fond of.

Miami. Now I'm not surprised here, because Miami Dolphins are home to the biggest collection, of chuckers, losers, no-hearts and folding chairs this side of an Ikea.

When the chips are down, Miami chokes on them, and they did it again. As I said to a friend before the game "Miami are just going to lose their first round game one week early this year," and so they did.

It's not like the New England Patriots were all that good, but the Dolphins just let New England hang around when early on one last big play would have buried the Pats for good. The weather was even pretty nice so the Dolphins don't have that excuse either.

Too bad, because Ricky Williams proved a lot of good things to a lot of people. Unfortunately, one of the things he proved was that he has the worst luck in the "teammates in the clutch" category.

Green Bay. I'm inclined to be kinder to the Packers. The Jets have played very well and... Chicago... Chicago... The Jets lost to Chicago!!!

Sorry about that. I just need a moment to compose myself. The Pack was in a tough position against a team that needed the win badly and... Chicago!!! New York loses to the frikkin Bears! How do you lose to a team that wastes a key game in Chicago!!!

Ok, to hell with it. I'm steamed at the Packers. The Packers needed a win against the Jets to secure home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

If Green Bay wins in Giants Stadium they are in San Diego for the Super Bowl, it's that simple. The week off gives them a more or less a healthy team, and Brett Favre and Co, do not lose in Lambeau in the playoffs. It doesn't matter who they are playing, the Pack does not lose at home in the playoffs.

So, with 60 minutes of football standing between them and the Super Bowl the Packers serve up one of their worst efforts in recent memory.

Ladies and gentlemen that is the sign of a team destined to fade off into the night.

Best wishes to all of you this New Year!

Note: I had a preamble all prepared for this article. It was about how a little bit of pond skating ended up with me body checking an eight year old, ruining three pairs of socks, and almost impaling my fellow pleasure skaters.

However, it took on a life of it's own and grew too long, so I've decided to put it out as it's own stand alone little article, which you can find by clicking on the following link. Dem skating blues. Enjoy!

i just recently started to play golf and i consistently and accurately hit 200-250 yard and my swing isn't very good its almost a good swing but my left arm is almost completely bent like when i play baseball and im almost positive it is messing with the timing of my weight transfer so should i take the risk of ruining my ugly but effective swing to make it better and gain more yards or should i just be happy with how i swing

Although never having played baseball I have always had a baseball grip. This was changed around 2 years ago to a more widely accepted Vardon grip by my pro at my course.
I used to be a 16 handicapper with no chance of EVER getting any better due to the restrictions this grip placed on me.
I took the decision to change my grip and this caused me to shoot upto a 23 handicap as my game really suffered initially, however over time I have started to play better, much better and haven't looked back. My game is more consistent and my body and hands are suffering less due to the new "Proper" grip.
I have just got down to a 18 handicap again but with the potential to get to 10/9/8 who knows!!
I suppose the question you've got to ask yourself is: -
Are you the best golfer you can be or want to be?
If you are then carry on as normal, if however you want to improve the grips got to change.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
Regards

I have just started to play golf around 6 months ago, and am absolutely in love with the game. I am 38 years old, in good shape, and really just want to learn a good golf swing technique that will show me the proper way to swing a golf club. Any ideas for a good golf swing technique?

---

As a golfer who carries a 1.6 handicap and shoots around par, I have 3 things that I feel you need to work on in order to improve your golf swing technique and start playing good golf in a short amount of time.
1. The first thing is to focus on a good grip. This is crucial because it is your only link to the golf club. You want two knuckles showing on the left hand (If you are right handed) and you want to make sure that your grip pressure is light. Gripping the club hard causes tension, which is not good for the golf swing.
2. The second thing that you should work on is your stance and backswing. Make sure that you have a good posture, and that you set up to the ball "like an athelete." This will help you a lot to improve your golf swing technique. You should start your backswing by letting your hands, arms, and shoulders move away from the ball at the same time.
3. The third thing is to start your downsing by rotating, not swaying your front hip toward the ball. This will increase your power and accuracy. Just make sure that you do not start the downswing with your hands, as this is a big no no!
You may want to look at quality golf training manual to get you started with a good golf swing technique. I know this helped me out: http://swing-a-golf-club.blogspot.com

if you have what do you think? are there any benefits or drawbacks? im a scratch golfer who needs some help getting the clubhead square at impact. thanks

---

For a scratch golfer (i'm a 3 hcp myself so i'm close) there is only one tool, swing machine. You can use resistance bands on it and it works out your muscles directly coordinated with the golf swing. I know your question was about the swingyde, but i've never used it but i've played and practiced at the HS level and College level and this is the ONLY swing aide that i see DRASTICALLY drop peoples scores. I swear by this machine. And the best thing is i linked you the 'offical' site, but, you can find the blueprints on the net and build one yourself. That's what i did and it took about a day. to you and everyone who reads this post GET THIS TRAINER, if you only buy one thing that will drop your scores this is what you need to get. Even if you don't pick this as best answer, leave a 'add detail' on the question thing and tell me if you want me to email you more info on it. THIS WILL FIX ALL YOUR IRON SWINGS. this will help. keep it in the short grass : )
If i remember correctly it was around $75 or so. depends on how much you can find PVC pipe for in your area. and to answer your other question YES! lol it works amazing with drivers. what you do is the longer the club, the flatter you lower the 'swing plane' mechanisim. That way it promotes a longer more fluid swing with your woods and long irons and the shorter or more pitch to the club the steeper you lift the 'swing plane'. Seriously this is an amazing machine. If you choose to build one or order one let me know what it does for you. And i'm sure a pro or a local golfer has seen one of these before and can help you build/find one.

One of the most important keys to a repeating golf swing that hits one long, straight shot after another is to have the ability to relax your hands, arms, and shoulders and swing the club back and through impact without tension. With a good grip, this relaxed motion will return the club squarely to the golf ball time after time.... BUT if your grip is bad, it makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to deliver the club squarely to the golf ball without consciously or unconsciously some making some sort of in-swing correction.

If you've purchased my "How To Break 90 In 3 Easy Lessons" instruction system, you have found that my method teaches you to swing freely through the ball with an uncluttered mind promoting longer, straighter, and more consistent shots. In-swing corrections are an evil you can do without and in my instruction system I teach you how to be rid of these in-swing corrections forever. I stress fundamentals and show you how you can quickly and easily develop good fundamentals that will serve you well as you improve your golf game. I also show you how you can develop your feel for your swing so you can execute it over and over with a completely uncluttered mind, hitting longer, more accurate shots round after round but that's another article for another day.

One of these fundamentals that I stress heavily within my system is a proper grip.

With the proper grip, a NEUTRAL grip, the club will return squarely to the ball time after time producing longer, straighter, and more consistent shots. It is vital to your success in golf that you develop and use a neutral grip as opposed to a "strong" grip or "weak" grip.

Let's talk for a minute about the difference between neutral, strong, and weak grips so you can properly identify where you currently are.

A "strong" grip is one that has the back of the left hand and/or the palm of the right hand pointing to the right of your intended target line. A "weak" grip has the back of the left hand and/or the palm of the right hand pointing left of the intended target line. Easier to visualize for most players is when you take your grip and address the ball look down on your grip. If you can see more than 1 1/2 knuckles on your left hand, it is in a strong position. On the other hand, if you see no knuckles on your left hand, it is in a weak position.

There are numerous variations of weak and strong grips. Some players use a weak right hand and a strong left or vice versa. Some of these grips have worked very well for some players over the years but if you are just beginning to learn the game or you're struggling with your game, the grip is the place to start and NOW is the time to develop YOUR "NEUTRAL" grip.

In "How To Break 90 in 3 Easy Lessons," I show you step by step exactly how to develop your neutral grip. I also show you how to find your best posture and how to find perfect alignment and that's just lesson #1. Then I show you how to apply these solid fundamentals to your full-swing, chipping, pitching, and putting as well as showing you hoe to hit scoring shots like the lob and the flop.

My system is designed to maximize performance and consistency with minimal practice time.

If you practice enough and have enough GOD given talent, you can make virtually any grip work but that's not what you're here for.

You're looking for the "silver bullet" .....right?

You're looking for longer, more accurate shots and lower scores and to achieve this goal without hours and hours of practice time, your fundamentals must be sound which is why you must start with the corner stones of a repeating swing...strong fundamentals.

Has anybody used the new Perfect Connextion golf training aid? If so, does it really work, or is it just another gimmick?

---

After teaching thousands of students and explaining the theory and importance of connection, I am thrilled to have such a great product as yours to help me teach. The Perfect Connextion training aid allows my students to actually "feel" the large muscles activating and supplying the power to the golf swing. A common mistake I see with all levels of golfers is the desire to use the small muscles of their hands and fingers to generate power. The Perfect Connextion allows the repetition of a well sequenced golf swing to take place without the ever constant thinking process to inhibit a smooth swing. I have always felt and taught that "your swing is your swing no matter how long it may be", and with the Perfect Connextion you can "feel" the proper swing while putting, chipping, pitching, or hitting full irons and woods." I really feel this product will make the difficult task of acquiring a repetitive swing a possibility for golfers of all levels."

Clothes that you wear while playing golf may not appear as critical to you as your golf equipment, but you are mistaken; it does play a crucial role. It is vital in deciding how free your movement will be and how comfortable you will be while golfing. That is why all the LPGA women dress well. The equipment and the apparel both are responsible for your performance. While selecting the golf apparel you should be careful about the right size and style that is most appropriate for your body type. To make sure that it is not a hindrance to any movement required during the game, the very first thing that you require to do is to select those dresses that fit well on your body.

To get a dress that fits well on your body, you must either try them before buying or take the exact body measurements. If you opt to buy them from the local store, it is best to try them before purchasing. You should go for clothes that are body hugging, but which are not too tight at the same time. The clothes that you buy must also enhance your figure. Before going ahead with the clothes, make sure that you have a free movement while you are bending, squatting, or twisting your body. If it is uncomfortable while doing these movements, it is advisable to leave that piece and try something else. If the polo shirt that you have selected pulls on your neck or you cannot make free movement while golfing, it is best to look for another size of shirt or a different style. You also have to keep in mind that the benchmark for the size of clothes vary for different golf manufacturers, so you need to try out various sizes of the polo shirt before you get the piece that fits you well. If you plan to do online shopping you must give your waist, chest, hip and inseam sizes in accurate measurements to get a well fitted dress.

Apart from finding the exact size of golf apparel, it is also important to search the right style. The style of your golf wear must display a special design that goes well with your body type and persona. This is particularly significant when you are looking for your golf shoes, because you must get a piece that supports the particular type of arch you have. If you are in doubt about buying the most appropriate type of shoes for you, it is best to take advice from the sales clerk or contact the customer service if you are buying it online.

The golf clothing fashion keeps on getting transformed from season to season, and if you wish to be on top of the list of fashionable people, buy some of the golf clothes and golf attire that are likely to be in trend for a longer period apart from keeping some that are fashionable in a particular season. To lower down the budget on men's golf apparel while staying up to date, you can ask for gift coupons during special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas.

Golf clothing for women is considered very crucial in their equipment. The style of women's golf clothingand its fit on their bodies is an important element in the success of their game. To cater to the golf shopping needs of women, there are a huge range of styles, colors and cuts available in the market.

Are you in the market forwomens golf clothes? There are many a online golf clothes store having golf clothing and accessories with a feminine appeal including polo shirts, skirts, shoes, hats and outerwear from top brands - also a great selection of golf bags and memorabilia for the lady golfer in your life. A good golf clothing store can be your source for women's golf supplies and gifts, products reviews and recommendations as well as training for tips and techniques.

Having established the importance of a good posture position in part # 1, here are some important points to bear in mind when developing your best posture.

Your posture position should be athletic and dynamic, allowing for balanced motion in any direction.

Think of a football quarterback under center and try to duplicate this position as closely as possible. Your weight should be centered on your feet not only left to right, but also from heel to toe. Your knees should be flexed slightly allowing for ease of movement and you should be bent slightly forward from the waist creating an axis on which you can turn your shoulders. Your arms should hang naturally from your shoulder sockets in a very relaxed fashion.

Here are (4) points that you should keep in mind when working into YOUR posture position. Work with these points and make your posture as consistent as possible from shot to shot. The more consistent your posture position, the better you'll swing and the lower you'll score.

1. The insides of your feet should be as wide as your shoulders and your weight should be centered left and right (Half your weight should be on your left foot and half on your right) and also from heel to toe.

2. Your knees should be flexed slightly allowing for balanced movement in any direction. With the proper flex, your knees should be directly over the arches of your feet and you should feel completely balanced and light on your feet.

3. You should be bent slightly forward from the waist creating an axis on which your shoulders can turn. Once you bend forward from the waist, your shoulders should be positioned over the arches of your feet. This is a very balanced position.

REMEMBER You must remain in a balanced posture position. If you feel unbalanced, keep working until you can duplicate this athletic and dynamic position time after time.

4. Your arms should hang straight down naturally from your shoulder sockets. Your shoulders, arms, and hands should be
completely tension free.

I know that working on your posture, your grip, and your alignment doesn't seem nearly as glamorous as pounding 270 yard drives but trust me, without the proper grip, the correct posture position, and good alignment, there won't be any 270 yard drives in your immediate future so pay attention to the fundamentals and and build your swing from the ground up.

I guarantee you'll be glad you did!
