"resieve"??? no way!! see how important spelling is!?  if you had 
spelled that correctly, i wouldn't have confused it with "resieve" 
which means "to strain again" (as in using a sieve for the second 
time) and i don't mean "to strain again" (as in stretching to a new 
length again)

you meant "reseive"!!  (i before e, except after c, or when sounded 
like a, as in neighbor and weigh, or in weird words like weird)
