Eureka HotelsWith a rich history as a gold rush town, Eureka is named for the excited cries of miners as they found their fortune in the rolling green hills. This influx of people helped to build a quaint Victorian town, and much of this has been well preserved to this day, with historic storefronts and grand old houses that make it into many tourist's photo albums. Its location overlooking Arcata Bay also means there's plenty of areas of natural beauty to explore, with long stretches of rocky coastline. Things to seeFort Humboldt State Historic Park dates back to the 1850s when Native Americans clashed with settlers, and people flooded into the area to get their piece of the gold rush. The old clapboard hospital has been turned into a museum telling the story of the fort, with fascinating exhibitions showing how people lived back then, and at the Logging Museum you can see open air demonstrations of how logging was done in the 19th century using actual equipment from the time, and can take a ride on a miniature steam train to see more of the park's surroundings. The Bear River Casino lies just on the outskirts of town, perched on top of a hill and overlooking the rolling green fields beneath. Here you'll find bright and modern gaming facilities, with rows of flashing slot machines, table games, and a cozy poker den with regular tournaments. The casino also has several dining options, and after trying your luck at gaming you can relax in the large leather chairs of the lounge and watch popular local entertainers. Hotels in EurekaThere are many budget accommodation options in Eureka, so if you're looking for discount hotels then you'll be pleased with the selection.

Some hotels also offer a complimentary buffet breakfast for each morning of your stay, and daily housekeeping to keep your room clean and fresh. Where to stayEureka's Old Town area is full of well-preserved Victorian era buildings, and you'll find charming brick shopfronts with pretty, intricate details that give them a unique character. Take a walking tour and you'll no doubt be tempted into to some of the boutiques, from antique book stores to vintage clothing shops selling colorful pieces. It's also an important cultural destination, with independent art galleries and small museums scattered around the area. If you need to take a break there are plenty of cozy cafés and bakeries, and if you're in the mood for a more substantial meal then you'll find a wide selection of quality restaurants, including many serving locally caught seafood from the bay such as the popular Kumamoto oysters. How to get to EurekaArcata/Eureka Airport is just north of Eureka and offers regular services to San Francisco and other Bay Area destinations. There's a regular bus service to and from the airport which takes about 45 minutes, or you can pick up a rental car from the terminal and drive to Eureka in just under 20 minutes. There's an Amtrak thruway bus service from downtown to Martinez Station, and from here you can pick up several national services, with trains to San Jost, Oakland, Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles.

The Missouri men's basketball team added two names to its 2014 roster.
Jakeenan Gant was all decked out in black and gold for his signing day ceremony.
Grant is ranked 47th in the country, averaging 17.9 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4 blocks per game last season.
When he came to visit Columbia, Gant said he felt that he fit in the Tiger system.
Namon Wright is joining Jakeenan Gant on the roster.
The shooting guard is ranked 60th in the country, turning down UCLA and USC to become a Tiger.
Leading his team to a state crown, Wright averaged 15.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
Mizzou head coach Frank Haith says Wright reminds him of WesClark, and his 6-foot-4, 175-pound frame will be a great addition on defense.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Friday firmly rejected a House Republican bill to slash spending and require a balanced-budget amendment, leaving unresolved with just days to go the urgent issue of increasing the nation's borrowing powers.
The 51-46 Senate vote against the tea party-backed measure — which had been expected in the Democratic-run chamber — came shortly after House Speaker John Boehner told reporters he and President Barack Obama had failed to reach a separate agreement to resolve the debt crisis.
"There was no agreement, publicly, privately, never an agreement, and frankly not close to an agreement," Boehner said. "So I suggest it's going to be a hot weekend here in Washington, D.C."
If progress is to be made over the weekend in the nation's steamy capital, it will have to be made behind closed doors and not in the open.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., canceled planned weekend Senate sessions, increasing the pressure on Obama, Boehner and other top-level negotiators to strike a deal.
Reid said that talks ongoing between Obama and Boehner are focused on producing legislation involving taxes and that the House would have to act before the Senate, because tax measures must originate in the House.
Boehner underscored his willingness to keep negotiations going, telling reporters, "As a responsible leader, I think it is my job to keep likes of communications open."
The administration says the government is in danger of defaulting for the first time in its history after August 2 unless Congress raises the federal debt ceiling so it can keep borrowing enough to pay its bills.
But Democrats and Republicans have been deadlocked over terms of a deficit-reduction package linked to the debt-limit increase, with Democrats demanding some tax increases and Republicans insisting on doing it just with spending cuts.
The focus now is on efforts by Obama and Boehner to come up with an ambitious $4 trillion "grand bargain" that would secure the support of rank-and-file lawmakers. But wide differences still remain.
The continuing Obama-Boehner talks kept alive the possibility of substantial deficit reduction that would combine cuts in spending on major benefit programs like Medicare and Medicaid and revenue increases through a broad overhaul of the tax code.
"We have the opportunity to do something big and meaningful," Obama declared in a newspaper opinion piece. Later Friday, the president took his case to the public again in a town hall-style meeting. Earlier, from the Capitol, Boehner said House Republicans were prepared to compromise and prodded Obama: "The ball continues to be in the president's court."
Even as Republicans contended with the demands of tea party-backed House members, worry was shifting to how to keep Democrats in line if a compromise is reached between Boehner and Obama.
Talk of a deal prompted a spasm of distress among Senate Democrats worried that Obama would agree to immediate cuts but put off steps to increase tax revenues that the president has said are key to any agreement. The White House immediately sought to tamp down talk of an impending deal.
Democratic officials familiar with the talks said both the cuts to benefit programs such as Medicare and a tax overhaul are too complicated to undertake quickly and would have to wait up to a year to negotiate. The officials, however, said any agreement would have to have strict requirements that would guarantee Congress had to act.
First, however, the Democratic-controlled Senate on Friday dispensed with the House-passed measure that would raise the debt limit by $2.4 trillion on the condition that Congress sends a constitutional balanced budget amendment to the states for ratification and approves trillions in long-term spending cuts.

Report explains US embassy shutdown in Israel
An Al-Qaeda member from Sinai was part of the conference call intercepted by the US. According to the "Daily Beast", that was reason the embassy in Tel Aviv closed for a day.

American news site "the Daily Beast" revealed further details about the Al-Qaeda leaders' conversation that was intercepted by the American intelligence agencies, causing 22 US embassies in different countries to shut down.
The US embassy in Tel Aviv was also closed due to the threat, for a day. Last night it was revealed that the intercepted call was a conference call between 20 high ranking members of the organization around the world, including: the organization head and Bin laden's replacement – Ayman El Zawahiri, head of the organization in Yemen Naser El Wahishi, and representatives of the terror organization in Nigeria, Pakistan and Uzbekistan area. Also according to the report, one of the activists addressed in the call was from the Sinai area.
According to the site, that was the reason the embassy in Tel Aviv was closed. A source in the US intelligence said that "they have proved that they can fire rockets at Eilat. It isn't outside their capability to launch a rocket at Tel Aviv".

This "terror call" gave the US intelligence community a rare peek into the activity of the Al Qaeda organization after the death of Bin Laden. The call was intercepted after an earlier call between El Zawahiri and El Wahishi, which was passed through a third party. The organization leaders thought their conversation was secure, but the American intelligence managed to listen in and intercept information.

Despite modest gains in the Dow and the S&P 500 this year, speculative excess remains the dominant theme in the market. Phases of speculative excess can be challenging for serious long-term investors. Firms lacking in longevity, some with questionable business models, others without revenue, and plenty that don't turn a profit have led the market. The tried and true have been left behind.
To successfully navigate the markets during this dangerous investment phase it is vital to focus on your own goals and objectives. Maintain a ruthless long-term view and focus your investment efforts on dividends and interest—the building blocks of any successful compounding strategy. Start with my newest recommendation, one of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the world. From there, buy the new high-yielding preferred issue we are recommending this month. It offers a high-yield without the usual maturity risk of preferreds. More >>
Dividend investing is a simple strategy that has historically delivered exceptional long-term returns. But as the world's savviest investors will tell you, there is more to achieving investment success than simply picking a winning strategy. Warren Buffett describes it this way: "Investing is simple, but not easy."
In this month's issue, we'll take a look at why far too many investors never achieve the investment success that is within their reach and what you can do to attain success in your own portfolio.
We also have an update on our advised fixed income and stock market strategy. In bonds, if you have invested along with us, you are in the catbird seat to take advantage of rising longer-term bond yields. I am recommending a new 5-year bond issue as a part of this strategy. In equities, we have put together a mini-portfolio of world-class franchises that offers you a compelling stream of income with the prospect of future income increases. More >>

About a million people die from traffic collisions every year, and about 50 million more are injured. More than just a behavior for the young and foolhardy, driving like an idiot means ruining your (or someone else's) life. You're too old to tailgate someone at 70 mph just because you don't like the look he gave you.

Leanne Aguilera
Reporter Leanne Aguilera was raised in a small Orange County town, across the street from Disneyland, Lauren Conrad, and the entire cast of "The O.C." (She and Mischa Barton are no longer on speaking terms.) In lieu of dating, she perfected the art of obsessing over TV couples, more commonly known as "shipping." After graduating from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, Leanne decided to uncover one of life's greatest mysteries: What's coming up on your favorite TV show?

Gloucestershire's Elizabeth Hammond Wins the March NAF Shining Star Award
Monday 23 April 2012
Young showjumper, 16-year-old Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hammond from Berkeley, Gloucestershire, has been awarded the NAF Shining Star Award for March for her commitment and advances in British Showjumping.
Lizzie was nominated for the NAF Shining Star Award by lead coach for the Gloucestershire Junior Academy, Nicky Florence, who said: "Over the last few years, Lizzie has made huge steps in her showjumping through guts and hard work and Lizzie puts her success down to having great ponies, support from her family and being able to attend regular Junior Acadamy training sessions".
Up until October 2010, Lizzie had ridden a great pony called Duke, who though he was not easy to ride due to his excessive enthusiasm, Lizzie rode him from 0.90m through to 1.20m and this was down to her hard work and perseverance. Duke gave Lizzie the confidence and desire to jump bigger tracks, so when she inherited the ride on another pony called Magners, Lizzie's goal was to step up and jump the bigger classes at the Pony Premier Shows. Lizzie has now been riding Magners for just over a year and she reached her goal during earlier this winter.
Tracey Lloyd, Marketing Manager for NAF commented: "It is wonderful to see Lizzie clearly achieving her goals through regular Junior Academy training sessions, dedication and hard work. It's also great to see that the programme is working well and rewarding such a committed rider. Well done Lizzie- keep up the good work!".
The NAF Shining Star Award was introduced when NAF became a British Showjumping Business Partner. The award is for members of a Junior Academy who have shown a great deal of commitment, progression and outstanding behaviour along with their riding ability and much more. Riders are nominated by their lead coach, and then judged and awarded by NAF to one person each month.

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in Isle of Whithorn. Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in Isle of Whithorn ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Tides4fishing allows you to make tide predictions for Isle of Whithorn years in advance. Please note that the data are approximations only valid for fishing and so IS NOT VALID FOR NAVIGATION.
Today Friday, 3rd of July of 2015, the sun will rise in Isle of Whithorn at 4:46 h and sunset will be at 21:57 h. Today we begin the day with the moon already visible in the sky, so first we will see the moonset, which will take place at 6:43 h at 241º southwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the southeast (116º) at 22:26 h.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 0:45 h and the next high tide will be at 13:10 h. The first low tide will be at 7:30 h and the next low tide at 19:50 h.
The lunar phase is a Waning Gibbous. Today we will have 17 hours and 11 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 13:22 h and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 8 hours and 17 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 95. With such a hight coefficient we will have big tides and the currents will also be very evident. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 94 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 93. The tide heights today are 7.1 m, 0.3 m, 6.9 m and 0.4 m. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Isle of Whithorn which is of 8.1 m and a minimum height of -0.8 m.
The solunar fishing calendar in Isle of Whithorn tells us that today is a good day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is high. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
Tide timetable for Isle of Whithorn. The times are generated in local time in Scotland and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Isle of Whithorn are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in meters referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).

The slower is faster (SIF) effect occurs when a system performs worse when its components try to be better. Thus, a moderate individual efficiency actually leads to a better systemic performance. The SIF effect takes place in a variety of phenomena. We review studies and examples of the SIF effect in pedestrian dynamics, vehicle traffic, traffic light control, logistics, public transport, social dynamics, ecological systems, and adaptation. Drawing on these examples we generalize common features of the SIF effect and suggest possible future lines of research.

New paper: Rank Diversity of Languages: Generic Behavior in Computational Linguistics
Statistical studies of languages have focused on the rank-frequency distribution of words. Instead, we introduce here a measure of how word ranks change in time and call this distribution rank diversity. We calculate this diversity for books published in six European languages since 1800, and find that it follows a universal lognormal distribution. Based on the mean and standard deviation associated with the lognormal distribution, we define three different word regimes of languages: "heads" consist of words which almost do not change their rank in time, "bodies" are words of general use, while "tails" are comprised by context-specific words and vary their rank considerably in time. The heads and bodies reflect the size of language cores identified by linguists for basic communication. We propose a Gaussian random walk model which reproduces the rank variation of words in time and thus the diversity. Rank diversity of words can be understood as the result of random variations in rank, where the size of the variation depends on the rank itself. We find that the core size is similar for all languages studied.

Why so many Mexicans want the president to resign?
I do not think that the resignation of our president Enrique Peña Nieto would be positive in the short term. Instability probably would increase. But I want to share why so many people are asking for his resignation, also because the news are not even reaching the majority of the Mexican population.
Peña had a controversial campaign, with thousands of reported electoral irregularities . After two years in office, the violence in the country continues, and many other promises are still to be materialized.
But all this is normal Mexican politics. Previous presidents in similar situations have not met such a rejection from the national and international communities.
The straw that broke the camel's back was the dissapearance and possible murder of 43 students in the village of Ayotzinapa, in the southern state of Guerrro (Acapulco is also in that state, and was last year the 3rd most violent city in the world). The students were intecepted by the local police, there were 6 killed and 25 injured survivors. It seems that the former mayor, his wife, and the head of police were involved. They fled, were arrested a month later, but investigations are still underway.
This occurred already two months ago. The governor resigned, the president has made some declarations, but there is still huge discontent, represented in social media by the hashtag #YaMeCanse https://twitter.com/hashtag/yamecanse (IAmAlreadyTired)
On november 20th, anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, there were worldwide demonstrations. In Mexico City's main square, 11 people were arrested and have been treated as terrorists. There have been further demonstrations demanding the release of the 11 arrested.
To add insult to injury, there has been a huge scandal about a $7 million house, allegedly to the name of the president's wife Angélica Rivera (former soap opera actress) with indicators that it was acquired with deviated public money. No investigations of course, just a video declaration which has been already used to teach how to detect when people are lying.
Perhaps the main problem is that the government, trying to control some of the media, has not made explicit declarations about what is going on. So rumors spread easily and people don't know what to believe. This lack of credibility of the Mexican government has been highlighted by major international media, while the future of the country lies in uncertainty.

Winners of the Audi Urban Future Award 2014
On November 10th, a day after the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall, our team Living Mobilities from Mexico City was declared winner of the third edition of the Audi Urban Future Award. Together with José Castillo (team leader, watch the video from his final presentation) from Arquitectura 911 and Gabriella Gómez-Mont from the Laboratorio para la Ciudad, we were proud and delighted to be declared winners by an international jury, considering the great proposals presented by the teams from Berlin, Boston, and Seoul.
Our project proposes to create a new social contract, assisted by technology, to improve mobility not only in terms of efficiency, but also in terms of quality of life. This focusses on Mexico City, but has the potential to be extended to other megacities in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. We have a big city with small data, so we aimed at coordinating government, institutions, companies, and individuals to become "data donors". We've had considerable success, and with this opportunity we will extend our partnerships and to offer benefits, in particular to data donors, in general to the city.
The competition was very tight. Perhaps what inclined the balance in our favor was the timescale. Even when some aspects are futuristic, we arleady began implementing some of our proposals, so the impact can be much more immediate.
I am very grateful for this opportunity, for being able to participate and collaborate with a great multidisciplinary team of highly talented people. Apart from José and Gabriella, I am grateful to Mónica Arzoz, Roberto Ascencio, Stalin Muñoz, Daniel Pérez Tello, Christopher Chávez, Ricardo Mansilla, Humberto Del Ángel, Francisco Botello, José Luis Chávez, Luis Alberto Ceja. Josué López, Jaime López, Keylin Ortiz, and Jorge Tinoco. I am also grateful to the fruitful interactions with Christian Gärtner, Sophie Stigliano, Sara Mortarino, and the rest of the team at Stylepark, and also to Lisa Füting, Jutta Firsch, Annegret Maier, Rainer Stahlmann, and many other people at Audi with whom we had fruitful interactions.
OK, we won, now the hard work begins, as part of the prize involves extending the proposal into 2015. This will be an unique opportunity to explore ways in which we can improve cities, collaborating with many more partners.

Falling Walls
I was just in Berlin for the first time, for the Award Ceremony of the Audi Urban Future Award 2014 (which we won! But that will be the topic of another post). The organizers had the great idea to make the ceremony coincide with the Falling Walls Conference and the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Incidentally, just before I was in Ensenada for another conference, and on the way to Tijuana airport our hosts took us to the border wall by the sea. That is another city marked by a wall, which although permeable, it separates and divides people. So many touching stories you can hear, I've been reflecting these days how states decisions can affect so much the life of individuals. On the other hand, the fall of the wall is an example of how individuals can change states.
A photo posted by Carlos Gershenson (@cgershen) on
I met some Germans for the first time fifteen years ago, from my generation. Whenever there was mention about the war, I perceived shame in them, even when they were born long after it occurred. I was positively impressed by the speeches these days of Angela Merkel (Angie, as the locals call her... Did we ever had a political leader in Mexico called by a tender name? ) and the Mayor of Berlin. They reflect an acceptance of their history and legacy which is not shameful, nor proud, but now an example from which we can and should learn from.
In the night of the 9th, thousands of balloons placed where the old wall was were freed into the air, a "flying wall". If I undrstood properly the speech of the mayor, these balloons represent a message of hope from Berlin to the world, so that never again a regime opresses and separates people. Ironically, now there are many more walls in the world than when the one in Berlin fell 25 years ago, mainly to prevent immigration... Hopefully we will live to see most of them come down.
This reminds me of a thought which originated during a conversation with Stu Kauffman a few months ago: "Science is moving from trying to predict Nature to dominate it, to science as a means to understand Nature and take our place in the cosmos". It seems to me that building walls we are not assuming our place, but trying to impose our stiff ideas over others, and that breaks the natural order of things, which of course leads to suffering.A photo posted by Carlos Gershenson (@cgershen) on

New paper: Can Government Be Self-Organized? A Mathematical Model of the Collective Social Organization of Ancient Teotihuacan, Central Mexico
Teotihuacan was the first urban civilization of Mesoamerica and one of the largest of the ancient world. Following a tradition in archaeology to equate social complexity with centralized hierarchy, it is widely believed that the city's origin and growth was controlled by a lineage of powerful individuals. However, much data is indicative of a government of co-rulers, and artistic traditions expressed an egalitarian ideology. Yet this alternative keeps being marginalized because the problems of collective action make it difficult to conceive how such a coalition could have functioned in principle. We therefore devised a mathematical model of the city's hypothetical network of representatives as a formal proof of concept that widespread cooperation was realizable in a fully distributed manner. In the model, decisions become self-organized into globally optimal configurations even though local representatives behave and modify their relations in a rational and selfish manner. This self-optimization crucially depends on occasional communal interruptions of normal activity, and it is impeded when sections of the network are too independent. We relate these insights to theories about community-wide rituals at Teotihuacan and the city's eventual disintegration.

Review article published: The past, present, and future of artificial life
For millennia people have wondered what makes the living different from the non-living. Beginning in the mid-1980s, artificial life has studied living systems using a synthetic approach: build life in order to understand it better, be it by means of software, hardware, or wetware. This review provides a summary of the advances that led to the development of artificial life, its current research topics, and open problems and opportunities. We classify artificial life research into 14 themes: origins of life, autonomy, self-organization, adaptation (including evolution, development, and learning), ecology, artificial societies, behavior, computational biology, artificial chemistries, information, living technology, art, and philosophy. Being interdisciplinary, artificial life seems to be losing its boundaries and merging with other fields.

Paper published: Entropy Methods in Guided Self-Organisation
Self-organisation occurs in natural phenomena when a spontaneous increase inorder is produced by the interactions of elements of a complex system. Thermodynamically,this increase must be offset by production of entropy which, broadly speaking, can beunderstood as a decrease in order. Ideally, self-organisation can be used to guide the systemtowards a desired regime or state, while "exporting" the entropy to the system's exterior. Thus, Guided Self-Organisation (GSO) attempts to harness the order-inducing potentialof self-organisation for specific purposes. Not surprisingly, general methods developed tostudy entropy can also be applied to guided self-organisation. This special issue covers a broad diversity of GSO approaches which can be classified in three categories: informationtheory, intelligent agents, and collective behavior. The proposals make another step towardsa unifying theory of GSO which promises to impact numerous research fields.

This means that I actually don't have anything interesting to post. But I'm hoping to get a photo of the Boofle I posted the other day where he's actually wearing the little scarf I wrapped up, and also photos of a christmas present that I crafted :). Plus I'm hoping my little parcel from Kit Lane might arrive this week, squee! So excited!
So, look out for some photos in the next couple of days and other than that, hope you are all enjoying January so far.

29 year old man | Del Dios, CA, USA | Seeking women 22-28 within 50 miles of San Diego, CA
Cowards never start, The weak never finish, Winners never quit
I spent 8 years in the Navy and decided not to leave San Diego. I now work in a rock quarry and working on becoming a commercial diver. I've got a very blunt and bold personality that can be quite difficult to put up with but at least it promotes honesty. My biggest passion is motorcycles which is something that will never go away. Fitness is a HUGE part of my life simply because I was out of shape at one point and hated how it made me feel tired all of the time so I started CrossFit and have been doing that for almost 5 years now. Of all the places I've lived in my life I am still a country boy at heart. I love country music (although I do listen to all kinds of music) and my mother raised me a little old fashioned so I do have manners but keep in mind, I'm still a guy. I can also be very stubborn and set in my ways at times but will also admit it when I realize I'm wrong.I am a very driven and determined person. Sometimes it takes me a little bit to figure out what I want or what I want to accomplish but once I do I achieve my goals. What I'm looking for most in a woman is independence and confidence. Like I said before, I can be a very stubborn person and have a bold personality and admit that I sometimes need to be "put in my place". You also need to be able to accept chivalry. I understand that you are capable of opening your own doors, pulling your own chairs, and won't melt if you walk through the rain to the car but it's in my nature to do these things. It's in my nature and it's how I was raised and I'm not going to stop it. I'm not really sure what to expect from this as it is my first time trying anything like it but I do know that I want something more serious than what I've had over the last few years. I'm getting tired of the superficial relationship that leaves you feeling empty when it's over. I've had my fun and it's not really fun anymore so I'm to a point in my life where I want to get to learn someone and actually build a serious relationship with them. If you have any questions for me then ask ... I will answer anything. Oh yeah, I have a snake named Lucy.
