I guess at that point I will have to find some other subject matter to blog about. I feel as though I am incessantly talking about school. But hey aside from school, work and Aaron I don't have much of a life or time for anything else. That is except for of course, my other true love, Costco, but you already know my feelings on that subject matter.<br />
<br />
I am excited to be done, but I am also kinda scared. School has been my shelter, my excuse, and a big part of my life for nearly the last decade. While I am definitely ready to say good bye to those obnoxious 18 year old, graduated with my little brother, I babysat you when you were little, freshmen (mostly they just make me feel like an old married lady) I am slightly scared to step from the shelter of college and enter "the real world".<br />
<br />
I realize that rationally this makes no sense at all. However life's questions such as working at a job I'm not that interested in and don't love and our apparent lack of children, cannot simply be answered with the excuse of school. This is by no means an announcement (one would be a fool to take it as such) I am merely using those two things to illustrate my point. Which simply put is this: I feel like I have to grow up now and face reality. I'm scared to death because I have been happy in the land of denial and graduation feels like a swift kick in the.... out of the land of denial and ejecting me into the ocean (I hate the ocean, it makes me very uneasy) of accountability. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">We'll I'm not sure if anyone reads this blog anymore, heck lets face it I don't read this blog anymore, however given that it has been nearly six months since our last post, for which I can't even take credit for, I decided to give it a whirl again.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I would say that it is one of my New Years resolutions to blog more, but I have resolved to only make resolutions that I have a least a shot at keeping... thus blogging is definitely NOT on the list. I do wish to keep in touch with people more and since I personally would rather stalk them electronically (thank you blogs and Facebook) rather than actually call people and talk to them in person, I decided that I would try to afford those of you who still have some waning interest in our lives the same luxury. Kudos to those of you who are phenomenal and frequent bloggers. I envy you for being able to capture your lives in the written form. I enjoy reading and be a part of your lives through it. I hope to one day be as diligent as you. At the moment however life is busy enough and so I choose to leave out the part where I beat myself up for not being better about recording it (it really does free up quite a bit of time). </span><span style="font-size: small;"> In short I may, or may not possibly be back into the
blogging world on a more frequent basis. I make no promises or
guarantees. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">To those of you stalwart bloggers out there, keep on keepin on. You know who you are, I may not comment, but I am always reading you and I am grateful to you for sharing your lives with us. </span></div>

</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Surgery, as a means of prevention in the field of public health is a rather neglected resource. The current trend in global health has been heavily geared toward the prevention and treatment of communicable diseases, and the use of vaccinations and medications. While these methods have been highly effective there are still millions needlessly dying and suffering that could easily be helped through the use of a simple surgical procedure.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>One of the reasons surgery has been ignored as a method of treatment is due to its multiple components and costliness. Because of this there is a common misperception that surgery is a luxury rather than a necessity in developing countries. However, the paradigm that surgery be reserved for the rich and the insured is one that needs to be challenged.</span> <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In order to provide surgical services to those who need it most (generally not the rich or the insured), treatment of surgical diseases should be need based rather than dependent on the ability to pay for services. Similar to the way communicable diseases such as AIDS and malaria are treated.<span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Every year over one million children are left without a mother. More than 80 percent of these maternal deaths are caused by sepsis, unsafe abortion, obstructed labor, and hemorrhage. Many of these deaths were and are avoidable through the use of surgical procedures. Children who have lost their mother are ten times more likely to die prematurely than those who have a mother (United Nations, 2010). Investments in maternal health have a direct effect on women and an indirect effect on child survival. Surgery to stop a postpartum hemorrhage not only saves the woman, but her family as well. Additionally, effective treatment of congenital defects, vehicle and agricultural accidents, cardiac disease, bone fractures and even blindness are equally important for the further development of global surgery as a form of intervention.<span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Working closely with the physicians in the otolaryngology department has provided me the opportunity to see the effects of surgery firsthand. I have witnessed the restoration of hearing and voice loss, faces that have been damaged by skin cancer rebuilt, brain tumors removed and years of life given back. I have personally experienced the grief stricken faces of people as they enter our clinics for the first time and the increase in quality of life that occurs as skilled surgeons work to restore them. In short, I have seen the miracle that surgery is and the important role it plays in health care.</span></p>halleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15966688060755267606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240151201818482732.post-6306766724129015002011-06-19T18:23:00.001-07:002011-06-19T19:38:04.960-07:00Bear Lake Adventure 2011This weekend my family went up to Bear Lake. We have done so on several occasions and decided to get one last trip in before Ryan leaves. Aaron and I made record time (and not the good kind) getting there this year.<br /><br />Aaron and I decided to go up over Monte Cristo because we wanted to drive through Ogden Canyon and see how high the river is.... Well for those of you who watch the news you are probably thinking that Monte Cristo is still closed due to snow pack. For those of you like Aaron and I who don't watch the news, Monte Cristo is closed and you can't get through. We found out the hard way (70 ish min detour). It also happens that the Wasatch Back, a Ragnar relay, was also going on this weekend. They run from Logan to Park City and part the route goes right through Huntsville all the way down Trappers Loop, which as it happens is the exact route that we needed to double back to get to Bear Lake through Evenston (40 ish min. delay).....<br /><br />Four plus hours, a scared bunny, two saddle sore Langfords, and a dead cat later we finally reached our destination.<br /><br />However the ride was absolutely beautiful, everything was so lush and green and all of the wild flowers were blooming. It was also fun to see how high the rivers and lakes were (there is NO beach at Bear Lake, none!). We also found the decorated vans and Ragnar runners to be highly entertaining. Among our favorite team names/ slogans were.....<br /> Over the hills and through the woods<br /> Bless our Soles<br /> What the Hill?<br /> We do it Three Times a Day Sweaty<br /> We got the Runs<br /> Girls gone Ragnar (Aaron thought this was hilarious, I thought it was lame)<br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVeiI30qgiLDAJwdJ3f2mDMriAuYuT4pnSvFkZddpC1w1CMtDtp3OmRXu3aMaVcLjBrwPU17G_1AkT_E4GmQlTQcRymBCGmGdN4xB_XNXbj7tJqGBbOBpuPm6E8NykJ4Db8-EAr8vQ6sM/s1600/DSCN1048.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 122px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVeiI30qgiLDAJwdJ3f2mDMriAuYuT4pnSvFkZddpC1w1CMtDtp3OmRXu3aMaVcLjBrwPU17G_1AkT_E4GmQlTQcRymBCGmGdN4xB_XNXbj7tJqGBbOBpuPm6E8NykJ4Db8-EAr8vQ6sM/s200/DSCN1048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620108223675329410" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Agd9aC-6lv_Ud9UxaL56sQSea41ijZb6rD9kQGL_V1x0wg6qJJaxCCAYqf43D81sJUA2JohP4-KtZiz1tZiDsPXUyTZNxYWFit5b94CfFPCSMTdf7RtuN1YnGIEw05-zQZ-FPd5sUXE/s1600/DSCN1052.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Agd9aC-6lv_Ud9UxaL56sQSea41ijZb6rD9kQGL_V1x0wg6qJJaxCCAYqf43D81sJUA2JohP4-KtZiz1tZiDsPXUyTZNxYWFit5b94CfFPCSMTdf7RtuN1YnGIEw05-zQZ-FPd5sUXE/s200/DSCN1052.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620108219468717298" border="0" /></a> <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2O0ex8D0hn3IE3dysez_Ai3-RVUQ4RN4vO2vr3ggkXcO8dDmHppOLpyDt_1VNSIRfHkJhbWIG2u1GSiBfw0bzb2-5MqNWNDgdiijb_Y4irLylz6z-m-Nx0SqrD485Arq-Fhi5ZzuJwOg/s1600/DSCN1036.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2O0ex8D0hn3IE3dysez_Ai3-RVUQ4RN4vO2vr3ggkXcO8dDmHppOLpyDt_1VNSIRfHkJhbWIG2u1GSiBfw0bzb2-5MqNWNDgdiijb_Y4irLylz6z-m-Nx0SqrD485Arq-Fhi5ZzuJwOg/s200/DSCN1036.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620109610289778098" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBRNsCIaqKupUZ-IP-_jzrZh1h1PRSB6KrT34glQtMPF1czRAs1TLfeO8nryCftnuH8_oUAIpLe__i_aEPWC3hRm4IO75j4AFSibIvc-gPIDoH24WGq9mYFyU7R_FlUtA-D1C4j7ns_jY/s1600/DSCN1031.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBRNsCIaqKupUZ-IP-_jzrZh1h1PRSB6KrT34glQtMPF1czRAs1TLfeO8nryCftnuH8_oUAIpLe__i_aEPWC3hRm4IO75j4AFSibIvc-gPIDoH24WGq9mYFyU7R_FlUtA-D1C4j7ns_jY/s200/DSCN1031.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620109623210648338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHRPdwKNGdpVMzL4tC9GLpPQunu9-dJy2GBut2zI_Pv8JLd0uwgg5jqq19_yLKCDcEtuvgg3NhOvG9vmDm97T7VBuAAMmwzicchHSqUpaadGRkkuOrvznboVMNysg4iLbOEbfmdaRga6Q/s1600/DSCN1032.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHRPdwKNGdpVMzL4tC9GLpPQunu9-dJy2GBut2zI_Pv8JLd0uwgg5jqq19_yLKCDcEtuvgg3NhOvG9vmDm97T7VBuAAMmwzicchHSqUpaadGRkkuOrvznboVMNysg4iLbOEbfmdaRga6Q/s200/DSCN1032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620108207797730002" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0h6oozBF6OqekK7yM5YPFnk8Qn_3SPz8j6Yk8Kw7Ok9QtSDLhX21PVT7xeMA-_z3X1ylFwI7yvgFZRJH5dTf0Wxe2O9FwMtLNnBD9xLOAAWFRd8T8xMfQlfcBEuY5PmHfkYX3QPYSJ4Y/s1600/DSCN1039.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0h6oozBF6OqekK7yM5YPFnk8Qn_3SPz8j6Yk8Kw7Ok9QtSDLhX21PVT7xeMA-_z3X1ylFwI7yvgFZRJH5dTf0Wxe2O9FwMtLNnBD9xLOAAWFRd8T8xMfQlfcBEuY5PmHfkYX3QPYSJ4Y/s200/DSCN1039.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620108212396016178" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOATo-VAxBOXHrg9N20ncq2rdri7FUSg6qLAPNRYD0VAR5L1NcHCcCXbtfKzd0FQYuqeqvqA-6Fu7h4fF7qOMqqMkegcXrPP-OiYbtBE4uQ_ldEIkzx2VirNwpVwNZ7ZwSUIQBhetbBo/s1600/DSCN1034.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOATo-VAxBOXHrg9N20ncq2rdri7FUSg6qLAPNRYD0VAR5L1NcHCcCXbtfKzd0FQYuqeqvqA-6Fu7h4fF7qOMqqMkegcXrPP-OiYbtBE4uQ_ldEIkzx2VirNwpVwNZ7ZwSUIQBhetbBo/s200/DSCN1034.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620108229294932322" border="0" /></a><br />The lake was FREEZING but we had a blast anyway, and it was fun to have the place to ourselves.

Yes, My name is Halley and I'm an addict. A Costco addict. I can't help myself I simply love the place. I decided that I had a problem a few weeks ago on a Friday night, the start of spring break, when Aaron asked me where I wanted to go/do to celebrate our momentary freedom. My all to quick reply was of course Costco!<br />
<br />
However one of the reasons I love Costco so much is that it is dinner AND a show. Yes, sadly, I get my kicks people watching whilst sitting in the food court underneath the Coca-coal umbrellas (there purpose for being there I have yet to determine) and eating my polish dog. Aside from the people watching thrills I am also addicted to the following products sold there. Some because they are so much cheaper, and some because of the heavenly, mouth watering, gotta have it, can't find it anywhere else taste. So here it is, my usual Costco shopping list (judge me if you will)...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Strawberries</span>, strawberries and more strawberries<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate Milk</span> (there's nothing like it, believe me I've looked)<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Raw Tortillas</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cheese</span> (this is taste & cost category) <br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dipped Ice Cream bars</span> w/ roasted almonds (from the food court DIVINE!)<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Baby Spinach</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grape tomatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Polish Dogs</span> (again cost & taste) w/ drink hello can't beat that deal<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Kashi Cereal</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">V8 juice</span>.....<br />
<br />
and any other random odds and ends/ impulse buys. Add in all of the free food samples and cool random stuff they get in every week and I'm a gonner. What can I say, I just can't get enough.halleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15966688060755267606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240151201818482732.post-86738272914984568432011-03-28T21:30:00.000-07:002011-04-03T20:10:21.560-07:00To one of the most remarkable ladies I know,<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgraswLMBv0H9KapH0itnmsj5_xr_R_raCg7s-kGd1EftcLz4xnGpFTXieOyQQOtOQIVwfxOsPNYv0bSGvSJTvIA87rRWconot_dqix1jZFHRi9wuxl9Qahqhjs1ROqglLuvysuquwUK98/s1600/march+2011+070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgraswLMBv0H9KapH0itnmsj5_xr_R_raCg7s-kGd1EftcLz4xnGpFTXieOyQQOtOQIVwfxOsPNYv0bSGvSJTvIA87rRWconot_dqix1jZFHRi9wuxl9Qahqhjs1ROqglLuvysuquwUK98/s320/march+2011+070.JPG" width="240" /> </a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">To the person who taught me how to play just about every card game I know; </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

However in my defense I maintain that I am still suffering/ recovering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from last semester, seeing as the mere thought of having to write anything sends me in to a fit of hysterics. Hyperventilation and the automatic impulse to run up the stairs, hide in the closet, and rock back and forth in the fetal position.... ah memories... (perhaps i can get my hands on those hormones you have after childbirth that makes you forget all about the horrendous experience to want to have another screaming bundle of joy all over again)... but I digress.</span><br />

I am grateful that they let us tag along and share in their fun. After playing on the slides and shooting each other with corn we took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch where we each got to pick out or own pumpkin and cut if off the vine. We finished off the day with Cafe Rio and Oreos back and Sarah and Dals. It was a perfect ending to a great day.</span></div>halleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15966688060755267606noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240151201818482732.post-3812983982237966252010-10-13T08:18:00.000-07:002010-10-13T08:18:59.112-07:00This week I am going to...<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Take the dog for a walk</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sleep IN</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Work in my yard</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">go to the ZOO with some of my favorite </span><a href="http://dallasandsarah.blogspot.com/"><span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">people</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cook</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Clean</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Play Volleyball</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">hopefully catch up with old</span><a href="http://thecoiladventure.blogspot.com/"><span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> friends</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">watch Utah beat Wyoming</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">go to the temple</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">have dinner with more of my favorite people</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sleep In some more</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bask in the beauty that is FALL</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Give me a math assignment, great. no sweat. Give me a writing assignment and there will be weeping, wailing, and definitely gnashing of teeth. I've come to the following conclusions...<br />
<br />
In<strong> MATH</strong><strong> </strong> there is a definite wright (wha wha) and wrong. There is no in between, there is no grey area. You either get it or you don't. Math never changes.<br />
<strong>WRITING</strong> on the other hand... urg where do I start... Writing IS very subjective. There is no right and wrong, there is no formula to memorize, there is WAY too much grey area, and there is WAY too much deviation from teacher to teacher. What is an A worthy paper in one class is quite possibly a D or C in another.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>MATH</strong>: 2+2=4 every single time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>ENGLISH</strong>: 2+2=4 except after C then it = 5, but not always, and sometimes it could be 6 depending on which teacher you have.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">--------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;">On another note, it really bites spending hours on a paper and having it thrown back in your face. Sometimes I feel like college is the equivalent to self flagellation. Why oh why do we do this to ourselves, and PAY for it!?</span></div>halleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15966688060755267606noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240151201818482732.post-88406885348116404722010-08-19T08:32:00.000-07:002010-08-20T08:13:00.096-07:00It seems strange to me,That the older you get the FASTER life goes by.<br />

We celebrated by eating... A LOT... ALL weekend. We kicked it off Thursday night when his parents took us out to Red Robin for dinner (their chocolate shakes are the best!), after dinner we went to my sisters house for our weekly Project Runway party where she presented him with a WHOLE cookie sheet of peanut butter bars!<br />
Friday we played hookey from work and left at 12:00 and headed over to Sugar House BBQ where we promptly stuffed ourselves full of yummy ribs, brisket, pulled pork and of course you can't forget those infamous potatoes. We then decided that we were much to full to move and that taking a cat nap at Liberty park to sleep off the food coma that was setting in sounded much more appealing. (It was a perfect day 82 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.) <br />
After the nap we of course decided we were in need of desert and bought blizzards and frozen yogurt at the Gateway while purchasing some much needed back to school clothes (sigh). We then proceeded to Usana to stake our claim on the lawn for the Jack Johnson concert (which was SO much fun. We even managed to view part of the meteor shower while listening to the music.) all the while munching on extremely over priced Kettle Korn and Icees.<br />
Saturday was my annual work picnic at Liberty park that is catered by Famous Dave BBQ, yup you guessed it more ribs and brisket however we did add chicken to our repertoire that night as well. We chased that down later that night with what else... more popcorn and of course more peanut butter bars.<br />
Sunday my parents invited us over to there house for dinner to celebrate with them where we had more yummy ribs (the boneless kind, my personal fav), tons of fruit salad, and the traditional birthday cake and ice cream.<br />
It was a perfect way to celebrate Aaron's birthday cause if there is one thing the boy loves it's FOOD! We had a great time celebrating with our families and a great time being lazy together in Salt Lake, even if our clothes may be fitting a little tighter today.halleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15966688060755267606noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240151201818482732.post-66437096708581672502010-07-24T19:16:00.000-07:002010-07-24T19:16:07.892-07:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
