Legends come to life
Motorcycles, yes. But Harley-Davidson is so much more. See how far our world reaches.
The Harley-Davidson Journey, Part 1
Running along the east side of the second floor, you'll find five interconnected galleries designed to bring the first five decades of Harley-Davidson's rich and illustrious history to life.
Our story opens in the south-most gallery with the motorcycle that is often referred to as "Serial Number One." Dating back to the first years of the company, this is the oldest known Harley-Davidson® motorcycle in existence. Winding your way north through the galleries, the stories of the people, products, culture and history that made the Harley-Davidson Motor Company what it is today continue to unfold.
Highlighted stories include the launching of a global, independently-owned dealer network; the Motor Company's contribution to America's efforts in two world wars; the emergence of color and style in the mid-20s; and the not-to-be-ignored Knucklehead motorcycle that helped define the styling you know today.

He was as disgusted as I had been on reading it.
Correlation isn't causation, and that kids were telling racist jokes the day this strip was published could be coincidence. That my son remembered the jokes and thought to tell me about the incident immediately after reading the comic could be coincidental too -- but it sounds a lot like what psychologists call "priming". It's worth noting that one of the jokes he heard involved the same trope presented as humor in "Piranha Club," that Africans are "subhuman."
Please think about what you're publishing.

Our Mission in China
The Making of a Special Relationship: The United States and China to 1914
The Missionary Mind and American East Asia Policy, 19111915
The Gospel of Gentility: American Women Missionaries in Turn-of-the-Century China
This is the bicentennial year for contacts between the United States and China, since it was in 1784 that the merchant ship Empress of China sailed to Canton from New York. It was an auspicious beginning, at least for the American backers of the voyage; the trip netted them 30 percent profit in their investment.
In the ensuing years Americans joined with the British in reaping diplomatic and commercial gains from the Opium Wars of 1839 and 1858, before drifting off to chart their own foreign policy. Highlights of this policy included the "Open Door Notes" of 1899, the recognition of the new Chinese Republic in 1913, the Washington Conference of 1922, the dispatch of General Joseph Stilwell to serve with Chiang Kai-shek in 1942, and the non-recognition of the People's Republic in the decades after 1949. It is perhaps the rosy tint that comes to this story from its peripheral relationship to America's real problems that has led Americans across the years to hail this history as a "special" one, marked by warmth and understanding on both sides. The Chinese have, in general, been rather more skeptical. In his visit to New York this January the premier, Zhao Ziyang, sensibly described the long saga as one of "many vicissitudes."
There has been an immense amount of American scholarly attention to Sino-US relations, and scores of competent monographs have been published, drawing from the diplomatic archives of the United States and Europe; yet because of the language barrier there has been no comprehensive scholarly study that attempted an examination of the Chinese and Western-language records at the same time, so that the vicissitudes could be examined in the light of the special relationship, and vice versa. Now Michael Hunt, a historian of diplomacy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has made an original and bold attempt to survey the whole story of the foreign, policy interplays between the two countries, from 1784 up to 1914.
Hunt is clearly a little nervous about the task he has undertaken, as is revealed by a couple of metaphors in the preface: he asks his readers if they are ready to "plow straight through this book," and mentions how he himself "waded through a wide range of Chinese documents." But the apologetic tone is unnecessary; his wading has left no scum upon the surface, and his guidance of the reader's plow is firm and sure. With this volume Hunt confirms his reputation as a deft, comprehensive, and intelligent historian, and one can only hope he is already working on a second volume that will bring the story to the present.
In the first part of The Making of a Special Relationship, Hunt looks at what he calls an emergent "Open Door Constituency," as Americans sized up the possibility of the profits to be made in the China trade, and fitted their hopes skillfully into the tough-minded foreign policy being conducted by the British. In the second, he examines the …

Do mobile phones cause cancer? After reviewing details from dozens of studies, an international panel of experts says they might.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer issued a statement to that effect in Lyon, France, on Tuesday after a weeklong meeting. The experts reviewed possible links between cancer and the electromagnetic radiation associated with mobile phones (cellphones), microwaves, and radar.
The group gave cellphones a "2B" classification, meaning they are possibly carcinogenic in humans. Other substances given that designation include the pesticide DDT and gasoline engine exhaust.
Last year, a large study found no clear link between cellphones and cancer. But some advocacy groups said the study raised concerns because it hinted at a link between heavy phone use and glioma, a rare but often deadly brain tumor. The study was controversial because it began with people who already had cancer and asked them to recall how often they used their cellphones more than a decade ago.
In about 30 other studies done in Europe, New Zealand, and the U.S., patients with brain tumors have not reported using their cellphones more often than cancer-free people.
Because cellphones are so popular, it may be impossible for experts to compare cellphone users who develop brain tumors with people who shun the devices. A survey released last year showed that the number of cellphone subscribers worldwide has hit 5 billion. That's nearly three-quarters of the global population.
Since many cancerous tumors take decades to develop, experts say it's impossible to conclude that cellphones have no long-term health risks. The studies conducted so far haven't tracked people for longer than about a decade.
Cellphones signal nearby towers via radio frequency waves, a form of energy similar to FM radio waves and microwaves. But the radiation produced by cellphones cannot directly damage DNA and differs from stronger types of radiation like X-rays or ultraviolet light. At very high levels, radio frequency waves from cellphones can heat up body tissue, but that is not believed to damage human cells.
According to Cancer Research U.K., the only health danger firmly connected to cellphones is a higher risk of car accidents. The group recommends that children under 16 use cellphones only for essential calls because their brains and nervous systems are still developing.
A recent NIH study found that cellphone use can speed up brain activity, but it is unknown whether that has any dangerous health effects.
The CDC has answers to frequently asked questions about mobile phones and health.

Taichung, Taiwan
This facility is lacking. the rooms are small and packed. You would have no place to put ur luggage.
Bangkok, Thailand
We have stayed in Sivarin Guesthouse only one night (pity) but it was our second guest house in Bangkok. Definitely I would choose this one for my next trip! Great atmosphere, good service, very helpful staff and great location.
Rooms were nice, and in room we could find a little booklet with useful information about traveling in Thailand/possible trips etc. Very practical if you are a first timer (like us).
Jodhpur, India
Nice place in the middle of the old city. The place is just correct and just clean. The roof top and the staff are very nice. The views from the top are very nice and the place has a garden inside on the main entrance. Wifi was correct.

Council of Europe publishes report on minority languages in Croatia
Strasbourg, 8 December 2010. The Council of Europe Committee of Ministers has today made public the fourth report on the application of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in Croatia. The report has been drawn up by a committee of independent experts, which monitors the application of the Charter.
On the basis of this report, the Council of Europe urges Croatia to ensure that speakers of the minority languages can use them in practice in relations with the relevant branches of the State administration.
Furthermore, the Council of Europe calls on Croatia to improve the system of minority language education to make it more easily accessible. The Croatian authorities are in particular encouraged to strengthen the teaching of Slovak, Ruthenian and Ukrainian at all appropriate stages of education.
The Council of Europe also recommends the Croatian authorities to continue their efforts to introduce equal and official use of minority languages in municipalities.
Croatia should also continue efforts to promote awareness and tolerance vis-à-vis the regional or minority languages and the cultures they represent, both in the general curriculum at all stages of education and in the media.
The full report and Committee of Ministers' recommendations can be downloaded from the Charter website (www.coe.int/minlang) (in the "Documents" section).
Further information can also be found on the Charter's website or by contacting the Charter Secretariat (Council of Europe, F-67075 Strasbourg, email@example.com, tel. +33 (0)3 88 41 31 86).

Elasto-Gel Crutch Mate Gel Hand Grips
40%The gel hand grips were a relief for maybe a day. They are too thin and you start to get the same pain in your hands as before. Unless I was using them wrong, they were not comfortable to me. Maybe if they were thicker or were able to go around the original hand grip on the crutches, it may work better.

"If facts are as alleged I will not tolerate such behavior," he said. "I am confident that this investigation will lead to full exoneration of the professional men and women working in the jail."
A federal survey of 286 jails ranked Clallam County Corrections Facility third highest in inmate-reported sexual misconduct by corrections staff.

Background: This was my 8th cruise, 5th with Carnival. We joined Carnival Vacation Club last year and were looking forward to some of the benefits. Our group included me, my dh, and our sons ages 13 and 10. We were joined by my sister, bil, niece, 16 and nephew, who turned 13 while on board.
Pre-Cruise: My sister has a condo in Tampa, so we flew in 4 days before the cruise to do some vacationing with the family. We rented a big van and all eight of us piled in (twice) to go to Orlando. We purchased two day passes for Universal Studios. The weather was unusually cool for Florida, but we enjoyed the park and the family.
Embarkation: On Monday morning, day of embarkation, we all piled in with our luggage and headed to the port. The dads dropped moms and kids portside and we handed our luggage off to the porter around 11:00 am. Funny that my husband and my BIL each tipped the porter, not realizing the other had done so! Lucky guy.
The guys took the van back to the airport rental center and were to grab a shuttle back to meet us. We waited in the coffee shop on the corner for the dads to return. The kids played checkers and my sister and I had a relaxing cup of coffee. It took them about 45 minutes to get back from returning the rental. They returned just as three bus loads of HS marching band kids and their families were unloading. We had to wait a little while to get into the terminal since it was a mass of confusion with the bus passengers.
Once inside, we preceded to VIP check-in. It was very easy. The little waiting area wasn't much to speak of, but we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to be checked in. The agent there had not pulled all of our cards, so we did have to wait while she went to find them. I thought my sister and family could piggy-back on our VIP status, and while this was not technically the case, the agent took them to the front of the regular line and they were checked in at the same time as us. After a quick photo stop, we were in the Inspiration atrium by about 12:15! One check plus for the CVC membership!
Ship: Our cabin would not be ready until the posted time of 1:30, so we headed to the Lido. We grabbed two tables by the pool and drinks were in hand very quickly. The kids took off to explore and we started to relax very quickly. We all grabbed some lunch and moved under the overhang as it started to rain. Oh well, we were on the ship so we didn't care too much. The rain caused us to abandon our poolside lounging and go explore a little ourselves. The ship was very clean, crew were bustling around completing maintenance and welcome aboard activities. We were on Valor just last year, and it did take me longer than I expected to grow accustomed to the deck plans of the smaller ship.
We met our steward, Leroy at some point that first afternoon. I'm sure my dh gave him a little cash tip up front, as that has always been our tradition. The cabin staff kept the cabins appropriately clean and when we did see them they were pleasant and customer focused. My kids noted that Leroy wasn't as "fun" as our last steward who always shared a joke or two with them…but Leroy actually did a better job cleaning.
Our cabins were surrounded by kids on the marching band trip. We were told that over 50% of the passengers were under the age of 18. While this may have been an issue for some passengers, I thought it was fun and all the kids were polite and pretty well behaved. We have cruised during Easter week four times, and have never had a problem with rowdy or obnoxious kids. Notably, there were not many families with very small children or infants on this trip.
Dining Room: We were seated at the 6:15 dinner in the Mardi Gras Dining Room. Our waiters were Roman and Ciprian. They were efficient and friendly, with a little more jolly attitude coming from our assistant. Each evening, they remembered our preferences and brought our food appropriately…remembering that the kids liked shrimp cocktail and bringing a couple of extras each evening earned them extra points with the folks. After the first evening I did not have to order my cappuccino, as it was ready for me without having to ask.
Food: The only negative experience with any food at diner was my filet mignon. This is usually my favorite cut of beef and I know what to expect. The serving was tough, and I would have sent it back except that I realized that it was not the preparation, but rather the quality of the beef. I had plenty to eat between appetizer, salad and dessert and I did not suffer. My husband said his NY Strip was better. While I greatly enjoyed the chocolate melting cake - the Black and White Souffle deserves an honorable mention…yum.
Ports: Grand Cayman - The seas were rough the day we arrived. Tendering was not good and perhaps the port should have been canceled. We booked the 10:30 Reef and Wreck tour. The seas were very rough and the staff was having a horrible time trying to stabilize loading and unloading of the tenders. We got in line for the tender at 8:45 and didn't make it to shore until 11:15, just as our tour pulled away. The Carnival Excursions Rep at the pier took our tickets and told us we would be refunded. The charge was removed from our sign and sail without hassle.
We decided to get back to the ship quickly after a short port walk and lunch at Sr. Frogs. We didn't wait too long to get on a tender, but back at the ship it probably took over 1/2 hour to off load the tender. Passengers had to literally leap into the arms of the ship personnel who were there to catch you. Many passengers had a long wait on the pier and there was a lot of talk of frustration back on board. Carnival compensated everyone by offering a 1.5 hour open bar on the last sea day, great for us - but maybe not enough for those who had bigger issues.
I kept repeating, a bad day at sea is better than a good day at work...and that attitude was expressed by my whole group, so we didn't let it spoil our trip. I have the memory of a wonderful margarita at Senior Frogs to take home from our Grand Cayman adventure.
Cozumel - A second day of tendering…we planned to take our time and go ashore after the crowds settled. We left at end of the numbering system, maybe around 12-12:30 and took a cab to Mr. Sanchos beach, $30 for all eight of us in a van. Even though we knew Cozumel was hit hard in the hurricanes, it was still sad to see so much destruction. Mr. Sanchos had really eroded and the lovely sandy coast we remembered had a rocky/ cement barrier to protect the beach. The pina coladas and guacamole were as good as we remembered though.
Activities/Entertainment: Our two fun days at sea were nice and relaxing. We did not have issues finding deck chairs one level up from the lido. I did think Risa, the cruise director, had a completely grating and annoying voice, but since I didn't really participate directly in anything she hosted, it was not a deal breaker for me. I played a little bingo, listened to a little music here and there and my dh and I saw the adult comedian who was funny. We don't usually attend the production shows. The casino is our favorite night spot and the casino staff on this trip was absolutely wonderful as they took our money!
The two 13 year old boys took advantage of the Camp Carnival dances and gatherings for the 12-14 age group. DS won a ship on a stick for wearing a costume at a dance and he also participated in the kid's talent show with his guitar. My 16 year old niece did not lack for company or activities as her cabin was surrounded by marching band boys who quickly befriended her, they went to shows and hung out at Club O2. She gave club O2 a thumbs up.
Highlights: I enjoyed the casino and didn't lose too much money. I made the finals of the blackjack tournament...won two t-shirts...one on the first night for knowing Denver's name in the Paris lounge (thanks to that advance email to the casino!) and the second for being in the tourney finals. With so many "under 21's" the crowds at the bars and casino were non-existent. I also had a lovely afternoon tea with my sister on our second sea day. My dh and bil made a friend in Bagus, the bartender in the cigar bar who was always attentive and even picked them out of the crowd during the open bar hours to make sure they got their Grey Goose martinis.
Disembarkation: Well, we missed the 8:30 gathering for our special CVC disembarkation benefit…I guess we were just too slow crawling out of the comfy beds. We had plenty of priority luggage tags delivered to us the night before with our instructions to meet in the Library to be escorted off. We showed up at 8:45 and they were gone. We ended up waiting in the Library anyway until the line looked short enough to attempt to move out. It wasn't long at all. I don't think the priority tags did any good…the priority holding area was in the back of the terminal and we still had to drag our luggage through the crowd. Once outside, we easily grabbed a couple of cabs and were back at the condo by 10:30 am even without the benefit of priority disembarkation.

Yeah, "War & Peace" starts off with an oxymoron as a title in the first place, so there you have it! But the AZ DWI cases analogy is all yours, I'm not going there, for comparison at least.Quote:

Sorry I lost ya that time around, and it's been a month so I'm digging through the last 10 pages here (WHYYYYY??!!). Then again, I seem to like to lose readers when possible.
"Discretion is the better part of val--ooh! SHINY!!" Lost myself.
I do have an opinion, but I don't have a strong conviction that it's right, so I'll try not to sound self-righteous here. I'm in question mode, and political discussion is not my aim, just critical thought. I think the implications of a federal law are dangerous as a precedent. It's always time to think about our next precedent. Yes I said precedent, why, what did you hear? (:K
My opinions (if you want funny, read it in Eeyore's voice):
Federal ban: no thank you.
State ban: possibly, but the likelihood of an accident increases in city limits here, our cities are so widely spaced apart.
Local (to me): Sioux Falls "city ban for texting while driving" in effect since Friday, September 28, 2012 (coincidentally 10yr wedding anniversary date for my wife & me).
SD state not approving a statewide ban yet but watching our city closely (especially since our population is highest in SD).
The trouble I have with this issue is not the content or legitimacy of the issue itself, it's the abuse of it as a political tool based on emotional connection. People's lives are at stake, I think we see that. I don't see any state jumping up to be known as "The Text & Drive State," but the ability to bash & demonize ourselves over this topic is nearly endless.
Of course we as a nation should prohibit ourselves from distraction while operating a motor vehicle.
Will we?
But should our government?
Analogies aside, it's a technology at its core driven by the need for constant, immediate human connection (without actually being present), necessary or not. But since it's highly mobile, and since we're generally a highly distracted society, the genie's out of the bottle & those who've experienced tragedy (even here in our city) are in panic mode for a solution. Agreeing with previous post, dead is dead. Ought there be a law?
I don't think a federal ban is the answer. Not even close. I do think a federal ban would make people feel better (about themselves), but since we're never to blame & it's always those other drivers who can't multitask as well as we can, what happens next? More bans? Higher penalties? So in any case, would the ban close the issue?
Waiting for some solid results around our city, maybe there'll be a news focus on it around Halloween again, and we'll see if our local ban gives comfort or seriously has no effect. I hate to be pessimistic here, but if it helps or doesn't, the stats could push the issue either way in any case. If less accidents & fatalities occur, is it the ban that helped? How many drivers did the ban actually stop? And does that mean that the ban is or isn't enough?
Could that text & drive simulator (previously mentioned used by a school for educating new drivers) be used at my state driver licensing renewal next time to give me a conditional code T as in "Texting Allowed?"
That'd be nifty. Promise I wouldn't abuse it, no, really. Eeyore never had that much dialogue, sorry to have you stick on that voice for this long. I'm not making any sense. Where's Piglet? ...POST
A bit OT, but wouldn't it be fun to try that simulator?
Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.
Oh yeah! And if you just keep putting in quarters eventually the skill is mastered for special moves such as "hide the phone," "no officer, I'm on a phone call (not illegal here yet, even phone in hand)," "my passenger was typing & sending that, my own hands have not left the wheel," etc. All the greatest hits.Quote:

They highlighted that officers can still issue citation for several other infractions even if text driving is disproved, highlighting the fact that this law is not necessary for them to do their job pursuing the goal of preventing distracted/reckless driving.
My number's on the car graphics & especially prominent for drivers behind me while stopped at an intersection (it's my center brake light). Would it be entrapment for an officer to send me a text to see if I reach for the phone cradled on my dash? That's assuming the person behind me is looking up/forward, not down at lap/phone.
It's tough enough to clearly enforce so many state & city laws, officers don't seem eager to see a federal ban as a proposed solution either. I think that bringing a simulator to the masses would go a lot further to prove a point to drivers than this present onslaught of television ads using dramatic scare tactics and stereotypes. Maybe Progressive could challenge drivers to take their "snapshot" discount device under scientific test drives with texting and non-texting drivers. Verizon & other carriers could bring the simulator into stores... maybe we could win back unlimited data by winning the game? Ok, now barrelling miles off-topic onto gravel roads, time to look up at where I'm going.
I would love it if cell phone stores offered a chance to play the simulator.

Local view: Why restore the NorShor?
The NorShor Theatre is not only at the center of our city; for many of us, it is the heart of our community. As with any centenarian, it has led a complex life, some of it prosperous and parts of it tumultuous. But by all accounts, it has been a legendary journey.By: Gary Doty, Marcia Doty, Jerry Peterson and Tim Meininger, for the News Tribune
The NorShor Theatre is not only at the center of our city; for many of us, it is the heart of our community. As with any centenarian, it has led a complex life, some of it prosperous and parts of it tumultuous. But by all accounts, it has been a legendary journey.
For generations, the NorShor stood sentinel on Superior Street, serving the region and its residents in countless ways. Once wrapped in splendor, it now sits in a sorry state. No question: Our treasured landmark — and our community — deserves better.
We are not in this effort to restore and renovate the NorShor just for nostalgia. It is easy to get swept up with romantic notions of all this building was and can be (noble motivations though they are). But most importantly, its revitalization makes good economic sense.
A restored NorShor will bring innovative growth and development to Duluth. As a new arts center — offering a state-of-the-art facility to local, regional and national performers — the new NorShor will be a cornerstone in the burgeoning arts scene. It will offer a much-needed, mid-sized performance venue and a historic special-events facility unlike anything else in our city.
While we are excited about the prospects, we are even more encouraged that recent studies and communities across the country support our suspicions that the arts are good for business. From designing and printing programs to providing stable salaries for staff and artists, and from patrons dining before or after a show to paying their babysitters at evening's end, the financial impacts reach far and wide across all sectors of our community.
When a cultural event is not happening in a community, nearly half of those asked in a 2012 survey said they would travel to a different community to attend a similar event. If a community fails to provide a variety of artistic and cultural experiences, people — and their discretionary spending — go elsewhere, according to Americans for the Arts and its "Arts & Economic Prosperity IV" summary report.
When a community attracts non-local arts, attendees and cultural tourists, it garners significant economic benefit. Arts and culture are proven magnets for travelers and their money. They spend more than other travelers, are more likely to stay overnight, and are more likely to spend $1,000 or more during a stay, Americans for the Arts determined.
When you add it up: Far-reaching economic impact, a destination for tourists and the restoration of a beloved building, there are so many ways a restored NorShor strengthens our community. A place to create new memories? Wonderful. Building a more vibrant city? Even better.
The NorShor's time has come. Its best years are ahead. With Sherman Associates and the Duluth Playhouse as partners at the helm, we are confident in the vision, wherewithal and experience for a successful restoration.
And we recognize for this to truly be a theater for the community it needs to be a theater transformed by the community. As such, we are pleased to play our part in returning the NorShor Theatre to its respected role in our city and all that the restoration will bring.
Gary Doty, Marcia Doty, Jerry Peterson and Tim Meininger are members of the NorShor Theatre Steering Committee, which was created by the Duluth Playhouse to raise $2 million for the historic theater's renovation.

The maroon Dodge Ram was travelling eastbound on I-215. Around 8:30 a.m., the truck slid on interchange onto I-15 going northbound. Officer say speed and icy conditions were factors.
The truck went over the guard rail and fell onto the train tracks below.
The victims were a man and a woman in their twenties. The woman was also about 36 weeks pregnant and attempts to save the baby's life were made, but the injuries were too severe. Four dogs were also in the truck, none surviving the fall.
Witnesses reported the truck driving about 65 miles per hour, considered too fast for the interchange and the icy conditions.
FrontRunner trains were temporarily delayed until debris were removed from the tracks.

The first half dozen cut carbon arrows I ordered were excellent! So, I placed an order for another half dozen to be cut. Although the length was good, the cuts were irregular and anything but square. I'll have to true them up before gluing in the inserts.

There was a lot of carbon fiber and dust in them, would have expected them to be semi clean.

These are great to hone in on the proper spline. I was shooting 400's but the 340s were more consistant. Very good product and easy to use.

About Me Beginner
Being new to Archery I called 3Rivers Archery with a myriad of questions. They helped me with each aspect, one being the proper length of my newly purchased carbon arrows for my longbow. The shafts were cut consistently, and the arrows fly well. Nice to find a retailer that has knowledgable staff so readily available.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt.
Fairly consistant
By twistedlim
Had 12 cut at 2 differnt times. Both were ordered at 30 inches. 6 were right on 30 inches and 6 were 30 .25?
Cut Cedar Shafts
By Chuck
from Nashville TN
I am finally getting back into Archery/Bowhunting after a 20 year sabbatical, so I ordered my shafts cut and tapered. They were consistent with a nice taper. I really want to cut and taper my own but I may continue to take the easy way out and have Three Rivers continue to provide this excellent service.

from Newman, Il.
I do not have a saw to cut the carbon shafts. Mine came to length I ordered, clean square cuts.
Great arrows for the money
from South Carolina
Easy to order and you get your arrows tailored to your needs without having to buy any additional gear.
Cutting shafts to length service!!
By Willy of the Hood!
from Kentucky
I've had 3 Rivers cut shafts to length for me on a couple of occasions and they are always EXACTLY the length I ask for, all of them are exactly the same length and the cuts are smooth, straight and ready for inserts (after I clean the inside of the shaft with a little alcohol and rough it up a little with a gun cleaning brush to help the glue!).
Great customer service
By Jimmy
from Texas
I usually just buy arrows from the store that are close to my draw length. I bought the Nogle Stone shafts for my wife's birthday. I had only a vague idea about the spine whatnot. I had to call costomer support and was surprised that the guy never lost his patience with my ignorance. I'm glad he knew what I needed. As it turned out the arrows are too pretty to shoot.

What is with the "ew" in the description? It looks awesome and sad! This drawing, I mean. I love your style and the sketchy lineart. The dour color scheme is fascinating and I like the tearful expression on the lovely girl's face. 5/5h and favorites.
