Notre Dame de Namur University Announces Sale Agreement of Nearly 100 Acres of Property to UC Investments (University of California)
Belmont, CA (May 27, 2025)— Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), a private Catholic institution with a 174-year legacy of education and service, and UC Investments, the investment arm of the University of California system, today announced the pending sale of 96.5 acres of NDNU property, which includes the historic Belmont campus and Water Dog Lake.
The transaction will ensure that the beloved Belmont campus and its legacy will continue to serve the region through a long-term investment strategy aligned with both institutions’ missions. Once the transaction closes, UC Investments will lease the existing campus facilities back to NDNU for up to five years, allowing the university to continue in-person instruction while planning its next phase of its campus location. Additionally, UC Investments has committed to renovating two architectural and historical treasures on the property—Ralston Mansion and Carriage House, both listed as National and California registered Historic Landmarks.
Stanford Coming to Belmont?
Posted on May 21, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
Did you know Ursula von der Layen attended Stanford University and born her children while getting a degree? Stanford is looking at buying the Norte Dame de Namur in Belmont where I was snubbed and ridiculed by the Historic Society after I showed them proof I am descended from Carl Janke who brought six portable houses around the Cape in 1848. These are Prussians, who offered by purchase California for seven million dollars. My kin may have been agents for this purchase – that was nixed when gold was discovered. In 2021 I suggested a School of Espionage move in to Namur. Yesterday in search of historians at Stanford – I find you! You, Ms. Zegart – are up! If you are drinking coffee right now, put that cup down, and look around at the way your reality – used to be! You have passed between the Two Pine Trees of Belmont, and the bronze doors to the Janke-Stuttmeister crypt in Colma. Carl Janke and his wife were dug up from their graves in the middle of the night, and ended up in the Union graveyard in Redwood City. If Dr. Stuttmeister knew where they were, he would have interred them in our crypt, where he put Carl’s bloodline – after they were evicted from the Oddfellow’s cemetery! I am claiming Twn Pines Park, because in looking at you – and all of this intrigue – I saw The Light shining through. The Truth came in between the two trees, and falling upon my beloved ancestors.
In 2018, after discovering I am kin to Ian Fleming, via Liz Taylor, I began my own Bond novel ‘The Royal Janitor. I researched what spies do. They look at a lot of data, and analyze it. In your book, you attest to this, and then say spy novels, and fake spies, ruin the real work.. I had the stars of my Bond book become lovers, and then get married after seeing a video of Putin’s Cossacks whipping members of Pussy Riot. I knew I was throwing away an opportunity to have a pay day, but I am driven to do the right thing. I suspect you are too.
I suggest you approach the President of Sandford and ask for the funds to conduct a investigation – that will include us meeting in Belmont to look for evidence I am the rightful Heir of Twin Pines Park. I believe we are destined to author a book, or two. I see your husband is a screenwriter. I suggest you both take good notes. I was poised to send Vice President Kamala Harris the second part of my message – that will now include this e-mail. When I mentioned her to the Belmont Historic Society in March of 2021, there was a conspiracy to get rid of me – and take my infraction for another book. I have sent messages to the Mayor of Belmont and the City Council. I am feared!
I believe you are Victoria Rosemond Bond, and I am Miriam Starfish Christling, Here they are having breakfast. Carl Janke founded a German Theme Park that may be the first in California. Walt Disney was inspired by Fairyland in Oakland. Putin and Patriarch Kirill invaded Ukraine to do harm to the LGBTQ folks. Consider Governor DeSantis – doing the same! Zelenskyy is in Japan at the G-7. as I type.
Your destiny awaits you. This e-mil will self-destruct. You made the cover of my newspaper for the arts. Oh. I forgot. My Muse, Rena Easton inspired me to write a Bond novel because in a letter she said she committed a million poems to memory. She had two children by Admiral Ian Easton, head of the British Defense Staff Washington. Have you heard of this agency? I am the Union of The Fake and The Real – Spy! Your study – is flawed! Don’t worry. We can fixt it! Here is your chance to work – in the field!

Proposal To Notre Dame de Namur
Posted on June 18, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
Brotherhood of the Swan
Posted on March 11, 2018by Royal Rosamond Press
Dear Mr. White; My name is John Presco and I am the great, great grandson of Carl Janke, who brought six portable houses around the Cape in 1849. It appears that one of these portable houses is inside Ralston Hall – that was built around the small houses that Count Cipriani allegedly had shipped from Italy. I doubt this is true. I would conduct a study by archeological historians who can test the wood – that may not be cut from foreign trees? How about the screws that put this house together?
Three days before Memorial Day I discovered Carl Janke, his wife, and his mother-in-law were dug up from their graves in the middle of the night, and put in the same hole in Redwood City. This was done in 1972. I wonder if this religious activity is recorded in the archives of ND? The sacred ground reserved for the Jankes was located in Twin Pines Park that is next to ND – that might have purchased some of the original land owned by Carl. Can you check? You have a team of scholars and researchers at your disposal. Do you teach local history, or, is your main field – psychology? If so, then an analysis of City Planner’s is called for, being, Stanford purchased ND and is going to make big changes. Can we rest assured new planners – won’t do something crazy? There are rules and laws for exhuming the dead – and reburying them. Would you like to be thrown in a grave with your mother-in-law?
(What would Freud say about this – recurring nightmare?)
Let me begin my proposal this way….I want your assistance in returning my great grandparents to their original burying grounds, and installing me as a professor and theologian in residence. My kindred, Dominica Wieneke founded Briarcliff College. Other family members became a priest and nuns in the Oder of Saint Francis. My alleged ancestor, Godeschalk Rosemondt, was the Master of Louvain and the Falcon Art College in Holland. He was Pope Adrien executor, and found the Pope’s College for poor boys. My kin commissioned the artist Hieronymus Bosch, whose art should be taught at NM, as well as Artificial Intelligence in the World of Art, a course I will design. I would like to found a school of spies and augurs, in Ralston Hall where my great grandfather, William Stuttmeister, got married to Augustus Janke, the daughters of Carl, I am kin to John Fremont, the first to emancipate slaves. I became a Nazarite in 1987, and am steeped in Biblical knowledge. I alone figured out what Jesus wrote in the dust. I can teach a course in religion – that will change Christianity as we know it.
I am seventy six years of age, and do not feel safe where I am. I believe you should follow religious traditions, and have me be The Monk in Residence until it is time for me to go to a just reward. My blog, Royal Rosamond Press may be the largest blog in the world, and should be archived. Today is Father’s Day. Any books that come out of this Journey to The Past will be donated to an Art Program for poor children. I taught my late sister how to paint and she became the famous artist ‘Rosamond’. She is a great granddaughter of Carl Janke, and married into the Benton family.. We are kin to John Fremont who emancipated slaves. Carl built two Turnverien Halls and may be a Fourty-Eighter. Our history has much to do with the celebration of Juneteenth. This was not the first time members of the Janke family were dug out of their graves. Four of them were removed from the Oddfellows graveyard in SF. Member of the LDS church offered to help me research the Janke family. I went to their event.. I believe my Civil Liberties are being violated considering the classes you offer to minorities, where discovering their past – is vital! Freedom of religion involves – our dead! Jesus, and other Jews, raised people from the dead. I declared my self Nazarite in 1987.
Last night I researched getting a Getty Grant. There is a residency program attached to the Getty Villa. My late brother-in-law did the murals here. He and Christina Rosamond Benton were friends of Ann and Gordon Getty and did a mural in their home. Consider all the great murals in churches. I believe I am the exception. I was forced to drop out of high school. A watercolor I did toured the world in a Red Cross show. I believe I am a National Treasure and will say so in my message to Gavin Newsom who has been close the the Getty family his whole life.
I ran for Governor of Oregon last year and and am a Republican Candidate for President. For years I have ordered the Evangelical Politicians who subscribe to the false teaching of John Darby and Tim LaHaye – to get out of my families party! I figured out why Jesus said;
“I’ve come for the sinner – and not the righteous!”
The author Damon Knight did a study of Bosch and found to figures in The Wedding Feast at Cana – that were removed – and replaced with a dancing dog. I believe those men are Pope Adrien and Godeschalk Rosemondt. The other figures are members of the Swan Brethren. Everyone and everything is pointing to the foundation of the Brotherhood of the Swan at Notre Dame de Namur.

It is 4:38 A.M. in Springfield Oregon. I just woke from the most arduous dream of my life where I was REBORN, into the flesh, into the spirit, into the plan God made for me. On this day I found The Falcon Art College At Belmont. I will write a letter to Pope Saint Francis and asking him for his blessing and support in the fulfilment of a Prophecy.
Today is October 7, 2020. I believe it is God’s will that the Falcon Art College of Belmont be located inside Ralston Hall, that I believe is one of the portable buildings brought around the Cape on a Clipper Ship by my great grandfather, Carl Janke, the founder of a soda works in Belmont, and a German Theme park. The Ralston house was a portable house put together by 5,000 screws. I am now convinced that Gottschalk Rosemondt is my great ancestor, and appeared in a Bosch painting with his best friend, Pope Adrian. I believe it is the Fair Lady of the Swan Brethren who is my guardian angel and angelic guide.

John-John – as his friends and family called him – was the great grandson of Charles Janke (John) the son of Carl Janke, the founder of Belmont, and California Pioneer. Carl married Dorothea Peterson, an English spy, that Carl met on Heligoland Island, that was known as ‘Spy Island’. Here spies from many nations came to spawn, as they called it. Who do you trust? You had to trust a fellow spy long enough to let down your shield in order to form a bond, even get married – and have children. Sherlock Holmes grandfather was no exception. He met Miss Peterson, and fell in love. Then Mr. Holmes – was gone! Going to the dock to see her lover off, she was severely distracted by the handsome figure of Charles John, who infamous ancestors were Prussians who did business with the Welsh in order to create that special Nation-People, that in all affects was the first European Union – that tried to conquer the world on two occasions with a military that was par excellante’.

Lewes John MP was a wine merchant of “dubious origin” who swore both his parents were Welsh. This was true of his mother. The De Vere and Montagu families are in the mix. Legend has it the Shakespeare family had dealings with the John family who produced exceeding handsome – and romantic men – who were experts at dueling.
John is described as the ‘King’s servant’, and had been granted 1s. a day for life from the issues of Oxfordshire. He was also well known to the prince of Wales; indeed there is some foundation for believing the report that Prince Henry and his three brothers were wont to drink and dine at his house in the Vintry, where the entertainment included the declamation of poetry. He was a close friend of Chaucer.
Carl Janke and Dorothea compared their dreams, and discovered they wanted to create a Fantasyland. They looked at property in Belmont California that they name Walterview after the FitzWalters that descend from Lewes John. Their dream came true. However, when Carl died, there was a fight between his two sons over the estate. William Janke lost, and retreated to a home on Height Street in San Francisco. Feeling a bit guilty over the family feud, John changed Janke to John, and became an investor in the financial district. He also bought some farm land in the San Joaquin Valley that his son increased in size.
When George Shima ‘The Potato King’ was interred in a Japanese camp during the war, he was bought out by the Janke-John family who were beginning to find each other. The discovery that the world famous artist, Augustus John, was a close relative, John bought many of his pieces – along with a few Van Goughs. He was secretly called ‘The Spud King’ and, his vast potato filed could be seen from space!
John was the epitome of ‘Quiet Money’. He let his suits do all the talking. However, the John Family Winery produced the best wine in the world! A lost John vineyard had been located, and in the center of the potato fields was a replica of a French Chalet that belonged to the de Bourmont family. There was a private airport that flew in wine lovers from France. Some of the richest people in the world laughed when they saw the potato fields. Then they beheld……the grapes!
John-John could not help notice a stunning woman admiring his Van Gough. Gliding over to her, he asked the question of the age.
“Do you like Van Gough’s work?”
When she turned full face to John, his heart raced. Her face had perfect symmetry. She gave him the most knowing smile.
“Do you know we are kin to James Bond?”
“Never heard of him.”
“He knows who you are….and wants to meet with you. Here is my card. We are cousins.”
John read the card aloud..
“Vivian von Rosamonde!”
“I’m impressed. I will name a wine after you. How does Rosamonde Belmonde Wine sound?”
“It has a cultured ring to it! Very French – and well bred!. Is it true you can see your potato field from space?”
John pulled out his phone, and with deft swipes of his manicured fingers….
“Come! There’s a satellite passing over this moment. My friend Bill Gates put one in orbit so we can keep an – eye on all the potato fields in the world – excuse my pun!
John took Vivian’s hand and they ran out the castle and stood on the drawbridge!
“Wave Ms. Rosamonde! There we are! Say hello to Spudland. Bill and I got McDonald’s by the short hairs!”

Honoring Germans Who Fought For Freedom
Posted on May 31, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
I was going to send an e-mail to a woman at the San Mateo Historical Society, but then found this article on the monument Germany is considering of an American Veteran, Carl Schurz. I was going to point out the remains of my Janke grandparents being dug up and moved to the Union Cemetery in the middle of the night. If I had received anything that resembled a civil greeting from any member of Belmont Historical Society, I might have visited the Union Cemetery this very day – that Nikki Haley called our VP “unprofessional and unfit” . I suspect I was snubbed by the BHS because I posted some Oakland History of Kamala Harris. Politics makes up a huge chunk of our history. I just posted on my Patriot Rosamond Family who owned slaves in South Carolina where Haley got votes. I wrote Ursula von der Leyen about this matter – which is a huge world concern – and can not be constricted by teeny tiny prejudiced members of the BHS.I am done with the Lilliputians!
I believe that is a image of William Janke taken in Twin Pines Park. His daughter, Augustus Janke, married William Stuttmeister. He moved our family to Cypress Lawn after our graves were dug up and evicted from the Odd Fellows cemetery. That is the Stuttmeister monument in Berlin with a replica of a famous statue of Jesus.

After making contact with James Bond via an e-mail, John Holmes John received a small package by special courier. Opening it, he was reading a letter from Queen Elizabeth explaining the coin she gifted him. He was also being informed that his ancestor, Lewes John 11, was also the master of the royal mint, who melted down the treasure Sir Francis Drake had captured in the New World, to make coin of the realm. For this, John was knighted. The coins that Philip von Habsburg was minting from Incan gold, was a threat to capture all of Europe’s commerce – in the name of the Papacy. If British traders could not keep their coins on the world market, then the world would be forced to trade with the King of the Romans, exclusively.
“This is what our piracy was all about. Please keep it a secret. As a profound coincidence, Drake introduced the potato to the Isles, and John introduced the potato to Germany and Prussia. My agent, James Bond will explain the crisis we will be in, if something happened to our tubers. I bought a bottle of your wine. I have to say the Teutonic Monks make the best wine in the world. Your ancestors brought vines from the Holy Land.”
Standing on his runway, John waited to catch sight of the Lear Jet that would bring James Bond to his, dominion. John-John was feeling light-headed, and other-worldly, after Vivian Rosemonde explained how they were related. Bond descended from Sherlock Holmes, that he learned was not a fictional character, nor was James Bond. For all his life he believed Sir Francis Drake was fiction, as was his lost treasure. Now, there is this spud connection that the alleged Queen of England is extremely concerned about. Why is it her business? Isn’t she just a figurehead? Is it any wonder that Meghan wanted to take her life. There is a very unreal quality to it all. James ends his e-mail with this request;
“I want you to study up on the potato blight and famine. You will be knighted into the Teutonic Order in abstention. Put on your best suit!”
Is it possible, I am caught up in a fantastic confidence game, and, an incredible hoax? John put this question to himself, then he spotted the jet coming out of the sun in the west.

Ms. Jean Katrina Easton liked to meet strange men who wanted to see her, out in her potato field. She could tell a man’s character by how he made his way through the uneven ground, there always a stray spud to trip you up. When she saw John-John coming her way, she took the straw out between her teeth, because from here….she wanted to give him – such a kiss. She was told he was a big spud grower, but, she took him for another wanna-be Spud King. Now, by the way his narrow hips kept an even-keel while his long legs instinctively found good ground – like a horse in a creek full of boulders – this tuber dude made her stomach flinch. Was he the breeder she had been looking for – aching to get her long legs around – for all these years?
James Bond warned John-John about not getting into any esoteric conversations with this very volitile woman. Her mother tried to kill Richard Wagner. She blamed him for the death of her sister, Natalia Wood. Ekatirina did not follow in her sister’s footsteps, she claiming Hollywood had ruined and destroyed everything she loved. She ran away with a leftist radical from Berkeley and lived in Cuba where they hung with Che Guevera. From there they went to Mother Russia. It was while in London she ran into Admiral Ian Easton of the British Defence Staff. And, she had to have him, and give him – such a kiss! In three days, they got married.
When Jean came to town (Bozeman) she liked to wear a cape. She had a collection. In the photograph above she is wearing her satin summer cape with sheer see-trough body-suit perfect for the hot Montana evenings. Jean loved Boho Fashion. She got goosebumps when fake cowgirls insulted her – told her she had no family values, and, was a traitor to her country. She grinned ear to ear as she swore at them in perfect Russian.
“What did you just call me you friggen vampire?”
Jean knew ancient Russian kick-boxing that the Verangian Guards developed when they guarded the Caesars. Like her mother, she kept to herself. When Jean and Ekaterina came to town together, folks cowered, and slunk away. There was some superior genetics at play. As John-John got closer. Jean whispered under her breath…
“I’m going to marry that man!”
-In three days they were honeymooning at the Saint Francis Hotel. While in bed drinking champagne, John-John made a confession.
“I’m bored silly growing patatos. I want to open a Private Detective firm. I love Sam Spade.”
“Me too! I got a whole collection of Pulp Detective magazines and dime novels. Let’s get a office in the old downtown!”
And, that’s how John&John Private Eye got started.
Belmont History Scandal
Posted on March 23, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is the come-on. The City of Belmont offers free membership to THE Belmont Historical Society IF POTENTIAL BUYERS ATTEND the book signing ceremony for the book CYNTHIA KARPA McCARTHY wrote 2014. Why didn’t the city, the society, and Cynthia, get on google to see if anyone had copyrighted some of this history – before they singed off on it, gave their signature and O.K.? I have every reason to suspect they went into my archives via the search, and found my copyrighted material. THEY knew what was going on, and kept me in the dark. Then THEY threatened me and GASLIGHTED me. Never in the annals of History Keeping, has such an outrage occurred. I am actively seeking an attorney. I have a right to affix my name to my family history and have it publicly displayed with other history pertinent to my family. How did McCarthy come to own – MY HISTORY? Who sold it to her?
Here is Cynthia saying my family history is not – that important. Then she says there is no competition – after I sensed there was. Finally, she mentions a copyright which causes me to google her, and discover she wrote a book on Belmont that THE CITY helped promote.
“We are related to historic people somewhere.
Belmont Historical Society, Belmont, CA sent Today at 9:39 AM
“There’s no competition, for Pete’s sake.“
Belmont Historical Society, Belmont, CA sent Today at 9:39 AM
“Maybe your friend the editor can explain copyright to you.“
I just sent this to the City Council”
As of 3-23-21 I can no longer post on your Belmont History site. I want to make you aware I copyrighted the name Carl Janke and his history with my kin, the Stuttmeisters, in 2012, two years before McCarthy published her history of Belmont. I found an advertisement for my copyrighted material and family history on a Belmont City site, where if one comes to the book signing of McCarthy’s book, they get free membership in the Belmont Historical Society – that gave me a very hard time when I posted my history there – it all taken down. Has the City of Belmont captured my copyrighted history, or, are they just helping Cynthia McCarthy sell it?

William Janke on Haight St. | Rosamond Press
Wood was born Svetlana Gurdina[1] to Russian immigrant parents, Nikolai Stephanovich Zakharenko (1912–1980) and Maria Stepanovna Zakharenko (née Zudilova, 1908–1998).[a] They had each left Russia as child refugees with their parents following the Russian Civil War, and they grew up far from their homeland. Her father’s family left Vladivostok after her grandfather, a chocolate-factory worker who joined the anti-Bolshevik civilian forces, was killed in a street fight in 1918; they settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, with their relatives, then moved to San Francisco. Lana’s maternal grandfather owned soap and candle factories in Barnaul; he also left Russia with his family in 1918 after his eldest son was killed by the Red Army, and settled in a Russian community in Harbin, China.[6] Maria married there, and in 1928 with her first husband had a daughter, Olga Tatulova,[7] who died in May 2015.[8]
When Nikolai and Maria married, she brought her daughter Olga to the household. The couple had two daughters together; the first was Natalia, known as “Natasha”, the Russian diminutive. The family settled in Santa Monica, California, near Hollywood, and changed their surname to Gurdin. Svetlana, known as “Lana”, was born there.
The Eastwoods of Oakland

In the biography of Clint Eastwood by Patrick McGilligan ‘Clint, The Life and Legend’ I read this on page 30.
“Glenview, near Ardley Avenue, Crocker Highlands (named for the banking Crockers, who donated the site) and Frank Havens School (named for one of the Piedmont city fathers – three of the grammar schools the boy attended – were within a close radius of Piedmont. Haven was already a local institution, and one day, at Crocker Highlands, the tousel-haired boy sat for a class photograph with schoolmates that included Jackie Jensen, the future outfielder for the Boston Red Sox.*
Very few families can say their kindred owned a Stagecoach Line, Theme Park, and a Turnverein Hall, or two. Carl Janke was half owner of the Belmont Accommodation Company that ran between Belmont ‘Beautiful Mountain’, and Halfmoon Bay. Mrs. Walter E. Janke was the President of the Cap and Bells Club that employed the cap of the Jester in its emblem. Consider the Merry Pranksters. Musicals, plays, and “Jinks” were performed. Consider the Hi-jinks of the all male Bohemian Club. Is this a feminists answer? It appears the Cap and Bells founded an art gallery. Was this the formation of the Outdoor Art League?
“CAP AND BELLS CLUB OPENS ART GALLERY
An event In the life of the Cap and Bells club took place yesterday afternoon with the opening of the permanent art gallery for women at the clubrooms 1509 Gough street. About 70 canvases are hung in the gallery at the rear of the building, which has a most excellent northern light. , The pictures shown are by women artists only. Paintings from this city, Piedmont and Monterey were shown. The president of the club, Mrs. F. H. Colburn. received the guests, assisted by several club presidents from around the bay. Mrs. Lyman Dickerson Foster was tea hostess and will continue to be at the receptions on the three opening days, with an able corps of assistants. Other club presidents will assist in receiving the guests today and tomorrow.
The California Dream Barrel

Meg Whitman and I have three things in common:
- We own the California Barrel Company
- We loathe and fear Donald Trump
- We loathe and fear Ron DeSantis
Meg Whitman was the head of Disney and made this company money, like she did when she was the head of Ebay – and Hewitt Packard. However, he QIBI company – was a huge flop. I tried to warn her it would not work, but, could not contact her personally.
On August 31, 2011, I copyrighted the name California Barrel Co. because the day before I received a genealogy from a cousin that covered the Brodericks and Stuttmeister. I have to guess as to how a company associated with Whitnan, took California Barrel Co. LLC as a name. Planners must have looked at the history of companies in Dogpatch – and assumed no one wanted this name?
In the last two days I have come up with a plan on how to win The Widget Wars that are now a partof the Culture Wars. I am seeking partners and a promoter. How about a attorney. I will be composing a proposal for my new company.

Meg Whitman, Calling Donald Trump a ‘Demagogue,’ Will Support Hillary Clinton for President
- Aug. 2, 2016
Meg Whitman, a Hewlett Packard executive and Republican fund-raiser, said Tuesday that she would support Hillary Clinton for president and give a “substantial” contribution to her campaign in order to stop Donald J. Trump, whom she berated as a threat to American democracy.
“I will vote for Hillary, I will talk to my Republican friends about helping her, and I will donate to her campaign and try to raise money for her,” Ms. Whitman said in a telephone interview.

I just found this in the parallel business world. William Broderick, the husband of Alice Stuttmeister, was the Vice President (a Director) of the California Barrel Company that was located in the Dogpatch, south of San Francisco, and Arcate in Humbolt County where the photograph of Melba and her grandfather is taken. The photo says it is her father, but, it is her grandfather, William Oltman Stuttmeister. I know this because according the Daryl Bulkley, William was very tall, and William Broderick, was short. That is how I remember him.
The President of Cal-Barrel, was Frederick Jacob Koster, who was a member of the Bohemian Club, as was Joaquin Miller, and George Stirling, seen in a traditional tent at the Grove Gathering. When Rosemary would show us the family photos, she would say this about our kin gathered in the redwoods of the Oakland Hills.
“Those are you Bohunk kin.”
Why Rosemary would say this, knowing the Prescos came from Bohemia in 1882, is puzzling. Was she once told they were Bohemian Bohos?
My father and I own the same facial features Will Stuttmeister does, who has a long face.
