Well Readers I wanted to let you know that my good friend Jeff has updated his site lately and now you can order his Str8cam gear now at www.str8camgear.com. So if you happen to be a fan of Jeff and want to check out his site among other things, Hit the link and tell them I sent you. Love and light JD
Well boys and girls. I know I have been a bit lax of late, but I have been one busy man. I am posting the above video. Yes the artist is Loreena Mckennitt and the song is "The Mystic's Dream" from her CD The Mask And The Mirror. It is set to WOW film footage but I did not create it but it is a good mix. The song was also used in The Mists of Avalon.
If you choose to take musical path less traveled I suggest looking up her vast catalog. I have everything that she has done. Enjoy it and let me know what you think , I added "She Moved Through The Fair" Amazing live as well. Love and Light. JD
I have not made it unclear on here that I am in LOVE with Tori Amos. I found Tori way back in the day through her spellbinding catalog. Through the years I found an artist that is not only worthy of that mantle, but one who touches my very soul when she opens her mouth. I love her covers. When she takes on a song it is her own. I could run on and on for years about this subject, but I wont MO you out. Enjoy it!!
A few months ago I interviewed Jeff from STR8cam. He was a very good sport about it. He is taking the next step into merchandise, as I posted about a couple of days ago. I spoke with him and thanks to this mini interview he is filling you in on what is to come with STR8cam and check out his new STR8cam jockstraps to get you started.
I am glad to see that you have produced the first line of merchandise for STR8cam fans!! What was the spark that made you want to have your own line?
I have been doing live webcam shows at http://str8cam.com for 10 years now. Over the years many of my members have bought my used jockstraps and underwear. In the last few months a few of the guys in my chatroom have been asking/hinting to me that I should consider making my own gear. One of my members is working on a STR8cam Construction outfit while another one just sent me a full all White Navy Dress Suit. I gave it some serious thought and started researching a few companies that I planned on buying wholesale jockstraps from. Nothing was 100 percent what I wanted so instead I decided that I would have them custom made to what I had in mind. In the future I hope to have many different STR8cam Jockstraps http://str8camjockstraps.com with a variety of colors, styles, cuts, and designs.
The Jockstrap looks great. Who helped you come up with the cartoon logo and what did you want specifically with STR8cam jockstraps?
Thanks JD. I'm glad you like the look of my first STR8cam Jockstrap. Rick from http://big-monkey.com/ came up with my STR8cam cartoon logo. His work is great and everyone loves the toon characters he made for me. I plan to have Rick and Big-Monkey come up with more STR8cam cartoon logos for my jockstraps and briefs in the near future. I want to eventually have a full blown line of STR8cam jocks and briefs with different prints, fabrics, and styles like how http://aussiebum.com has. Brian from NewYork Jox at http://nyjox.com/NYJOX-STORE/ came up with the idea of putting my naked toon image on the front of my jockstrap. His company is producing my custom original STR8cam Jockstraps. I originally sent him the G rated version of my toon character but I like this naked one much better & I hope you do too.
I know that the research that comes with your own personal gear. You told me that there is coming down the pike, STR8cam Lube, Cumrags and Briefs as well. What excites you most about the gear? Why did you choose specify these products?
I'm really excited about my new STR8cam Lube. I have used tons of personal lubricant over the years and I really like Astroglide and Gun Oil but it was still hard to find a lube that felt great every time. Some lubes are really sticky while other are tacky or really liquidy and watered down. I contacted a company to see if I could somehow create my own lube. I found this company who sent me different samples. I then "tested" each sample and slowly fine tuned the perfect lube combination that I really love. I'm extremely excited and it should be available in just a few more weeks. I can't wait!!
Humm... I specifically chose STR8cam Lube because I use personal lubricant for my cam shows a few times a week. I have tried many different lubes and could never find one that I just absolutely loved. I specifically chose STR8cam Jockstraps and STR8cam Briefs because I was always selling off my own used gear and I wanted to make a high end quality product that was my own. Something STR8cam related that I could develop over time and provide to my STR8cam fans on a more personal level. Right now I am taking pre-orders at http://str8camjockstraps.com and soon I will be shipping them first to whoever pre-orders one now. Also, I'm sending JD one for all his help and for the idea of this interview. I really appreciate it JD. Thanks again everyone. Feel free to follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/str8cam :>)
I would like to let you know that I support 100% anything posted on my blog. Jeff is a great guy to put up with my numerous twitters, and emails. I thank him for taking the time to talk to me once again. Plus a shout out for the jockstrap. I am excited to check it out. (yes readers, I will actually wear it).So boys and girls get your asses down to STR8cam. You will not be disappointed, Much love and light, JD

I just wanted to let you guys know that Jeff from STR8cam has been working his magic once again. He is working on specific merchandise for his site. It does look like the first STR8cam jockstraps are on their way. I have been chatting with him and it is very exciting. I will be posting more when the details are final but you can place a pre order for a STR8cam Jockstrap HERE!!!. Please do not forget to check out his fantastic and smoking hot website str8cam.com. Jeff is keeping me up to date and when all is said and done I will report to you all about it. The devil is in the details as the saying goes. JD
I am shocked and very happy that I made it though another year. I never thought that 35 and I would meet at one point. Shocking how time flies. I do have a ritual I preform every year on my birthday. I get up and put on my copy of Smashing Pumpkins "Gish". There is a very special place in my heart for that album.(Yes, showing my age by using the term "album"). I always listen to the whole CD when waking and before midnight. It does sadden me a bit to listen to it. Music has always been an important force in my life. The ability to put me right at the moment in time when I the innocence of my younger days were in full bloom. I had not lost anyone yet and we were ready to take our first steps into an adult world. So as I look back to a better time, I have to get myself prepared for what is to come. It is hard to describe what has happened to me in the past 35 years but this song does it quite well. Thank you all who sent me birthday wishes. I really do appreciate them. God bless you all and much Love and Light. JD
Muzzle Lyrics(Billy Corgan, composer)
I fear that I'm ordinary
Just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Drift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end
And great lovers will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...
Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
It's for the girl I've loved all along (Bloggers Note. Replace girl with boy)
Can a taste of love be so wrong?
As all things must surely have to end
And great lovers will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed
I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd last
Forever
But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
Del Shores wears many hats. Accomplished playwright, screenwriter, director, producer, husband, and loving father. He took the time to talk to me. I could not thank him enough enjoy.
I live in a small town in Boone County, West Virginia. A place where you can find out anything about anyone in about five minutes. Hunting is a religion. Everyone knows your business. Most are willing to help each other and most own an arsenal. The gossip either at church or at the grocery store is better than a telephone. Did you fit the mold of a good southern boy, or feel as if you had to fit the mold of what was expected? What do you look fondly on in those times?
I loved my childhood in small town Texas, but always felt different. I couldn't relate to my cousins who rodeoed or killed animals, but found a home in the drama department at school. My mom was the high school drama teacher. So, plays and speech contests were my life in high school. Lots of girls for friends, couldn't relate to guys (but secretly had a few crushes).
A rural town can become it's own universe and most cut themselves off from the rest of the world. Did you feel you had to foster your own creativity as most do in such a small area?
Yes, my mind went nuts. I created, fantasized and dreamed a lot.
Did being a gay man play a part in that as well?
Yes, being the son of a Southern Baptist preacher, I learn to hate that part of me and suppress. And distract. I think I was so driven with ambition because it distracted me from being gay
I know that faith is a huge part in this neck of the woods. I was raised Church of Christ but watching the lip service paid by some did seem the norm. Well that or as I call it church wars, but maybe that's just a local custom. Hypocrisy runs deep sometimes. Did your faith ever cause you problems? How did you deal with that?
All you have to do is read my play "Southern Baptist Sissies" to know how deeply that played a part -- and the damage the teachings of the church caused. I dealt with it by being closeted for years, then lots of therapy, then writing about and now activism.
I have two aunt Sissy's. My great aunt Deloris was the one who would call my mamaw up late at night drunk as hell and sing to her. We all have those eccentric family members. Who were the people in your life that inspired your characters?
My Mom, my real Aunt Sissy, my great grandmother Mama Merck, my aunt Reta -- the list is endless. As I say in my one-man show, I don't write, I steal.
Do you think that most southern men and women think that you are making fun of the people that we have lived with all our lives?
Mostly no. They relate and see how real they are.
Is it a way to honor them?
I think so.
Most people do not think that happens to be the normal way of life around these parts. I guess when your looking from the outside in that can happen.
I know that you have been married to Jason Dottley for some time now. I know that we have a long way to go with the issue of gay marriage. How do you see the fight for gay marriage, especially in the south coming along in this day and age?
So much slower in the South, but I do see that there is progress. I'm in Dallas right now and there is a huge gay populations. Putting a face on gay is what is going to change all this. My daughter Carrie said it best when Prop 8 passed. She said, "Daddy, don't worry. They're all going to die. My generation doesn't care."
What are your thoughts of the passing of The Mathew Sheppard Act?
I'm beyond thrilled. I was just given the Making A Difference AWard by MSF last week (along with Leslie Jordan). What an amazing organization and Judy Shepard is my hero. Twelve years she fought for this!
What of all the things you have accomplished with your plays, movies, the TV show, and The "A Sordid Affair Comedy Tour" that sticks out as the one thing you will remember most?
The stories the fans tell me about how my work has healed them, helped them, made their lives better -- allowed them to come out, given them strength
What brings that great smile to that face of yours these days?
I'm happy. I have an amazing husband. My daughters are just remarkable. And even with all the financial mess this last year, I know that I have had a great ride -- and will continue to do so. And the love of the fans. They make me smile!
I would once again like to express my sincerest thanks to Del for taking the time out of his very busy schedule for talking to me.
Please check out his own personal site Here.
as well as his very talented husband Jason Dottley. If you have not seen his work, I suggest you do as soon as possible. Thanks again Del, JD
Derek Hartley co host of The Derek and Romaine Show on Sirius/XM's Out Q, took time out of his busy schedule to talk to me. I hope you guys enjoy it. JD
Derek. You have had a very interesting string of employment You were working for AOL in the early days of the internet. SONY Pictures, as well as working as a columnist for Planet Out. What do you remember most about the work you did for these companies, what experiences from those times do you fondly remember? What did you take away from them that served you now?
Every job I have had (and I have had many) has brought me to this moment. But that is how life is. You never know sometimes where things are leading you, what minor occupation you have that will come in handy later. After I left SONY, I was bumming around, temping, I didn’t know what to do next. But I had a little entertainment industry experience and I was writing a syndicated entertainment column and it helped me get a job doing celebrity interviews part-time at PlanetOut.com. From there, I became the content program manager and started developing online content and features. This was 1996. Online was a whole new world and it was an opportunity to use all of my past experience and bring it to something new. And that twist of fate brought me all directly to where I am today. I met the friends I now have in NYC. I met my roommate Mike. Everything I have today is a direct result of things not working out for me at SONY. So even though I was sad when that job ended, it ending is what brought me everything. It is a good lesson that even when things don’t go your way in the moment, it might actually be working to your advantage in the long term.
What was a young Derek Hartley like as a kid? When did you realize that you were gay? Many gay men and women like myself knew at an early age, but were unable to express it or deal with it until much later in life. How did you deal with that at the time? What was the moment that you realized that this would be a big part of your identity throughout the rest of your life? How did you deal with it?
I knew I was gay in the second grade. I didn’t come out until I was 22, but I knew very early on. As a kid I was much like I am right now. I was extremely literal. A know-it-all. I didn’t have a lot of friends. I preferred to be alone and read and write. And I watched way too much television. Aside from drinking alcohol, nothing really has changed about me. I’m taller. That’s it.
Years ago I sold Sirius radios for Circuit City. Sirius was the underdog at the time. I took it home and the first show I came across was The Derek and Romaine Show. How did you get started with the company and what was the story behind that? What kick started your radio career?
If I may shamelessly plug my new book “Colonnade: A Life In Columns” I tell the story there. It really isn’t much of a story though. Back in 1996 at the launch party for PlanetOut.com, I met the two people that would change my life: Emil Rensing and John McMullen. Emil is straight and was working at AOL in the early days developing partner sites like PlanetOut. He got me my first job in NYC in 2001. John is gay and was doing internet radio at the time. He wanted to do a radio show with me, and we never really got it together online. But in 2002, I was in NYC (because of Emil) and John was working at SIRIUS and it was right place, right time. Kismet.
In the early days of the show, Did you think that it would become what it is today? How did it feel to be forging new territory on one of the very first GLBT stations in radio history? Did you and Romaine have a plan on what you were doing in those days, or were you flying by the seat of your pants. Of those early days, What do you remember about the first year of the show? Does any one memory stick in your mind? Are you surprised how Sirius has grown as a company from those early days?
The main thing I remember about the first year was being irritated by Romaine. We didn’t know each other. We met once before doing the show together. And I will tell you that doing a radio show is a very intimate thing in a way. We joke that we are married but it really is like being married. And in the first year, it was an arranged marriage and neither of us was happy with the arrangement. But, the show was an instant, out of the box success. It was clear in the first few weeks that our show and Michaelangelo’s shows were the standouts and six and a half years later, we are the only two original shows left. It wasn’t until March 2004, almost a full year after we launched, that Romaine and I really sat down and hashed it all out between us. It was then that our unholy alliance was formed. Now we finish each other’s sentences, know what the other one is thinking. That doesn’t mean we don’t irritate each other every once in a while, but we are united as one in our ambition and heaven help whoever tries to come between us.
I have been listening for six years now. I have listened to the evolution of the radio show from day one. What over the years have you contributed to the show that still sticks with it today. What things specifically did you two create, and what might be considered happy accidents? Who came up with calling the listeners "The Bitches"?
The biggest thing, and I think Romaine would agree, is that it has always been about the listeners. Getting listeners. Keeping listeners. Building that relationship. Making them happy. We give away more prizes than anyone else. We travel to events more than anyone else. Romaine and I both from the start had a similar vision for the show. We wanted it to be light and fun. A way to get away at the end of the day. That has never changed. The bitches thing I came up with, loosely based on the story of nightclub owner Texas Guinan in 1920s Manhattan who would greet her patrons with “Hello suckers!” every night. Suckers didn’t seem right but bitches worked. I wanted something that was uniquely ours and would make everyone listening feel like they were a part of something.
Some may say this is opinion but The Derek and Romaine Show just happens to be the most popular show on Out Q. Have you ever had problems with any people you work with because of the growth and popularity of the show? Are there things you regret either saying or doing to anyone you have worked with in the early days of the show, or now? Has there been producers or people you have had issues with because of working on a gay show?
Of course we think we have the most popular show. But we aren’t the only ones who think their show is #1. We have a healthy competition with all of the other shows on OutQ but it is very friendly. We all recognize that we work in an ego business and we all have our own egos. At the same time, we work in a place where 500 other people do what you do. It’s like being an assembly line welder in a car factory. “Oh, you weld cars? Me too.” It knocks you down a peg when you walk down the hall and in two minutes pass twenty different people who do the same job you do. The folks at Sirius and now XM have been incredibly supportive of the show and the channel. A lot of employees listen to our show, gay and straight. And even if they don’t listen, they know exactly who we are. I think people would be surprised to know just how friendly our relationships are with people in some many very different parts of the company, from channels as different as The Catholic Channel or Shade 45, to the guys who work in the sports department to the folks who fly the satellites. There is only one guy at work I have a real problem with and he doesn’t work on our channel. I will tell you his is another host, works in the music department and he is a total dick.
You do so much with Pride festivals and other GLBT events in working with the show. What memories do you have that stick out in your mind? How has the evolution of the show changed your experiences with those events now as opposed to the early days. What is the one moment you remember most, and what would be your worst experience in dealing with Pride across the country then and now?
Romaine and I are at our best when we are on the road. We travel great together. Honestly, after we stop doing the show, I would totally take an annual vacation with Romaine and have that be the only time we ever see each other. Our worst pride experience was Charlotte Pride 2005. The stage manager quit that morning, they didn’t have any money to pay the talent, no one even went to the airport to pick some of them up. And about 1000 people showed up with roughly 300 silent protesters walking through the park wearing red shirts about being drenched in the blood of Christ. But that was the pride where Romaine met Iris, so even the worst experiences can have a silver lining.
Your show is only one of the shows on Out Q that has a chat room that runs live with the show. What is the story behind it and do you think it is a positive aspect of your show?
The chat room is a mixed blessing. It actually is not good for the show because it is distracting and a microscopic part of the audience ever goes in there. But the people who go really seem to like it and it is good to build that sense of community among the listeners. Other shows do other things. Mike creates a lot of video of his show and puts it on the web. That’s great stuff, especially since he gets so much breaking news on his show. It really helps to get the word out which is good for the community and his show. Everyone is different.
What is the origin of "The Rules", who thought them up and why are they so important to the show or was there a specific reason they came into being?
The most important rule is #1: please don’t stalk us. This started nearly at day one because both Romaine and I wanted to make it clear that we loved the close relationship with the listeners but we needed to have boundaries. So we thought if we had some fun with it, we could get the message across. The rules just built quickly from there. It keeps some structure to a show that has, as its hallmark, total unpredictability.
What experiences have you had with listeners over the years stick out in your mind? What would you say would be the most unsettling of them. Has there ever been a time when a listener has crossed the line with you that you can remember? What would be the one memory you would say sticks in your mind as a positive when it comes to listeners? Has the merger changed the amount of people who try to gain access to you?
Honestly, most of the listeners are very friendly and respectful and understanding. Most of the time, they tell us how surprised they are that we are so nice in person, especially me. I really do try to be nice and talk to listeners and really listen to them and make myself available on the road. Fortunately, we live in a place where there aren’t many listeners, so our lives are very normal and boring. So it is a treat to go on the road and feel famous for a couple of days. I think if I was harassed at the supermarket the experience would get old fast.
You have recently added Author to you list of accomplishments. Colonnade: A Life in Columns, which comes out on the 28th of this month. Which is available at derekhartley.com. What made you decide at this time to put out a book ? What did you want to accomplish? What is the story behind the story?
I have been threatening to write a book for years. Finally I just decided to do it. I am turning 40 on the 28th and it just seemed ridiculous that I was getting so old and I still hadn’t done something as simple as write a book. I had planned for the book to cover about eight years of my life but it sprawled rapidly out of control and was way too long. So it just concentrates on my first two years in NYC and how I got the radio show. I tell the stories of all the guys I slept with, which I don’t do very often on the show. It ended up being more personal than I thought it would be, but I think if people like me on the show and they want to know more, I needed to put out a book that covered things I didn’t cover on the air.
I notice that there are things you do not discuss on the show. Did you worry about some of the things you put in the book? Did you think it would offend some people in your life? Did you think it would upset your family with the content? Did that influence your editorial style?
I really just wrote the book. After I finished it, I started having all kinds of second thoughts. I talk about my sex life a lot. A LOT!!! I didn’t remember that part of my life being so sexual, but when you put it all down suddenly it comes off as very slutty. I don’t worry about offending people because I think I come off worse than anyone in the book. But I needed to tell the truth as I see it. I talk about guys I dated and how it ended and I take responsibility for what I can. It’s brutally honest and I can’t be sorry about that part. I have to assume that the people in my life will recognize that and let it be what it is.
Thinking back now. Do you think that the show has helped some of your listeners when it comes to their own coming out? I know for myself , being stuck in such a small rural town that the show and the chat room was instrumental in that. It is a good place to connect with other gay listeners. So do you think the show you started six years ago has had a positive impact that you can look back and be proud of?
We never set out to have a show about anything, or that helped people, or changed their lives. It is just supposed to be as much fun as we can make it for four hours. Some days are easier than others! But if that helps people, we couldn’t be more grateful and honored. Truly. I know Romaine feels the same way I do about this. We get really profound emails or phone calls sometimes and when it happens we both look at each other and shake our heads. Out of our fart jokes and vagina talk, this is what people got. It is amazing to us, and it’s a happy surprise when it happens.
So besides "Postcards From The Edge". What books, films, music turns you on or excites you these days. What does Derek Hartley love to do in his spare time. What excites you now on a personal and artistic level.
What do you mean besides Postcards? Postcards is my life! I love that movie. I recently gave a book as a gift to someone and it is an extraordinary book. “West With The Night” by Beryl Markham is an amazing memoir and it has good lessons about life and loss and what is really important. And it is funny and thrilling too. I can’t recommend it enough. My taste in things is so personal and weird and eclectic. If you saw the songs in my iPod, you wouldn’t even know what to make of it.
Where do you see yourself and the show five years from now and what do you think you will be doing after your stint with Sirius is over?
I really don’t see myself still doing the show in five years. But then again, I didn’t think we would make it to five when we first started. So what do I know? Romaine wants to do this until she dies. I think at a certain point, it will be unappealing. Maybe it has already peaked and we don’t even know it. I don’t know. This is the longest I have ever continuously held the same job. I wrote my column for eight and a half years but that was really a part-time thing. I don’t know what I will do next. I never have. I just move on when the time feels right.
What is next for Derek Hartley? Is there anything you would love to accomplish that you have not done so far? What drives you to keep going and forging ahead.
I wish I knew what was next for me. I really have no idea. I have really done so many of the things I wanted to do. I have travelled the world, met interesting people. I guess what drives me down is comfort, plain and simple. I like having a little space, a little money in the bank, a big TV, a comfortable bed. I have never been someone who needed the latest anything or the most expensive whatever. I live a very simple life and I like it simple. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. If this book does well, I will probably write at least a couple more. I enjoyed doing it and I would do it again.
I almost forgot to ask. Who was the one guest that you had the chance to meet on the show that you did not think you would ever meet? Who was your favorite guest? What was the worst experience you have had with any guest on the show and would never have back on because of the way they were? Is there someone you have been wanting to get on the show that you have not been able to?
The most exciting guest for me was Olivia Newton-John. I loved Grease as a kid, saw it almost as many times as Star Wars. And she was so lovely. I also got a kick out of meeting Charo. And we danced together. That was amazing. The radio show has afforded me a lot of opportunities to meet cool people: Jason Bateman, Dame Joan Plowright, Seann William Scott, Samuel L. Jackson. What a gift. Even the worst guest on the show, Amy Sedaris, wasn’t her fault. She really didn’t want to be there and the publicist made her do it. We will never make that mistake again. I am sure she is a lovely, wonderful person, but our time on the radio was some of the worst ten minutes of my life.
Any last quote or advice you want to leave for the readers? Fate hands us the life it hands us. Not much we can do about it. We all pulled a card in the genetic lottery. You get what you get. What makes the difference in life is what you do with it and how you feel about it. And if you are young, learn to love how you look. No matter what. Really love it. Because later, when it all starts to slowly melt away, you will definitely hate it. Don’t waste your time hating what you have because you will have so much time at the end to resent what you lost along the way.
Most people who know me know that I am a very prompt person. To not be on time is one of my biggest pet peeves. When someone asks me to either take them somewhere and they give me a time. I am expecting that the time given is when I will be there. I understand if you have to be late, have the manners to call and let me know before hand, or if you do not need me at all. For example. If you tell me to be there at 8am I will be there a bit before to keep from being in a hurry. I NEVER get up early. I have worked nights for years and that is the schedule I keep, unless it is official business. So today I wake up get ready and drive to my destination. Needless to say the person I was meant to pick up not only was gone but did not bother to call me before hand to let me know he was gone. I can afford to waste gas as it is. I was enraged to say the least. So if you ever need me to do that for you, I suggest you better fucking be there and do not waste my time, or at least call.. It took a good hour of listening to the Pixies to get me calm enough to post this anyway and I am still pissed off. Have a great day. love and light, JD
I do enjoy watching straight military guys have sex. I own a few of Dink's movies and I will say it is worth the investment. I say watching his vid's does make the idea of joining the military more interesting. check out the site. JD
Shirley Manson once sang of "only being happy when it rains". I have to disagree. The photo above is what I woke up to this morning. It seems to be that my home state of West Virginia has turned into the Seattle of the East Coast. My bridge is only 15 feet off the ground. This is just way too crazy. I am hoping this winter is not as bad as I think it will be.
