Jake Nunn
How long have you been sponsored?
Since the end of '97, so like two-and-a-half years.
Who was your first sponsor?
It was a shop, but they didn't really do anything. I was just a local, and they made a team, but that was around the time I got on Think. So, it wasn't like I was on the shop-sponsorship thing for a long time.
How'd you get on Think?
Through my friend Zach. He'd been telling Think about me for a while, and I'd been getting photos on my own every time TransWorld would come through here Austin, Texas¿you know, those little Texas articles, and things like that. I shot two photos with Geoff Kula, then somebody else came¿I think it was Jeff Taylor¿and he shot a super-sick sequence of me over this gap. I don't know, I guess it was the talk of the town, so Think put me on.
Who are your sponsors?
Think skateboards, Indy trucks, Circuit wheels, flow from éS shoes, Mad Gods clothing, and Tek Gnar skate shop.
Are you still living in San Francisco?
Yeah, and I'm about to start school, I'm just taking a little vacation in Austin before I start school.
Where do you go to school?
Foothill. I'm gonna be taking some Internet-based courses, kinda like correspondence courses, so I can do some traveling. My brain was just rotting, sitting there doing nothing but being an am skater. It's kind of boring¿doesn't stimulate the brain.
How old are you?
Do you get paid?
Don't get a dime, and I haven't gotten a dime ever, except when I won myself 150 bucks in a contest right before I came out here. That was the first money I've ever won in a contest.
San Francisco's expensive, how do you pay the bills?
It depends. I either come back here Austin, Texas and work for a while for my dad, or I work out there. I worked for a while as a valet in San Francisco. I basically just do what I can. That's one of the reasons I'm going to school, so I won't have to work. If I'm in school, my mom will help me out. She'll pay for school and rent. So as long as I focus on school and keep skating the way I am, I'll be fine.
Have you talked to Think about being pro?
Not really. It's kind of like an understanding. We both know what it takes to get there, and we're just working on it right now, you know?
What does it take?
It takes everything I'm doing, except I need a really sick video part, I need some more photos, and really I need to place in the top five in a couple more contests. I don't see what else I can do¿I already do everything. There's not much more I can do other than say, "You've got to pay me, or I'm gonna leave." But I'm not gonna do that, I enjoy skating too much.
Are you working on a video part right now?
Yeah, I've been slowly working on one. I have all this footage and stuff, but I don't even know where it's going. A lot of it isn't super-sick stuff, it's just filler, so I need to get some super footy. I've got a few big gaps, not really that many big rails, but I need to get stuff people haven't seen. That's another reason I come out to Texas every now and then¿there're all these untouched spots. You'll go to a spot in Austin and there's not a mark on it. You're like, "Hey, this is the first time anyone's ever skated this, so I can do whatever I want, and no one's gonna say anything." None of that "so-and-so did this down that, so you can't do that." The only problem I run into out in California is that you're limited that way.
Especially in San Francisco. It's a pretty small city.
It's small, and when there is a skate spot, it gets destroyed. There're so many tricks that go down on one spot in that city, it makes it really hard to go film or take photos. It's gotta be super-duty tough work.
Does it feel like there's more pressure now that you're sponsored?
Yeah definitely, people expect things. When you reach a certain level, you're expected to be at that level at all times.
Who expects things from you? Youur sponsors?
Not really. I mean, they expect it from me, and they get it, but they don't ever say, "You need to go do this bigger." It's usually the filmers and photographers. They want their stuff to look super good, so they want the best stuff you can do.
What do you think will be different when you're pro?
I don't know. I don't really get in trouble with my sponsors or anything¿I don't ever do the wrong things¿so I'm not any trouble to them. So, I guess it will just be up to me to keep stuff up to par.
What do you mean by "the wrong thing"?
Not riding your company's boards, and just not representing your company. Like going out to a demo in some Nikes, a plain T-shirt, cut-off shorts, and being, like, "Hey, I'm a pro skater. Look at me! Pay me for what I do¿which is pretty much nothing." Not having loyalty to the company.
So you have a loyal streak.
Yeah, and I think that's one of the reasons I don't get any money.

I remember reading Brave New World in high school, my English teacher would let me go through her shelves of books and pick out things I wanted to read because I had pretty much cleaned out the reading material in the library. I am just grateful she didn't ask me to write a book review or an essay about the book at that time, because it would have been awful I was never a successful report writer. When I read it back in my teens back in the days before the explosion of the internet and technology, I found the book fascinating in how the author created this futuristic world in 1932 with technologies that didn't exist yet, except for Smell O Vision as that was created in 1909, although to be honest I didn't know that until recently. I read it again in college, I think but I know I haven't re-read the book since I moved to North Carolina. It always amazes me how much I still recall from the book. There were things written in that book which I couldn't imagine existing at all. Although, now almost 30 years later a few of the unimaginable things from that book exist. It just blows my mind when I think about it.
I know much of Huxley's book was about reproductive technology, but at 17, that theme in the book was just too much for me to consider as practical and I don't want this blog to denigrate into a discussion about the right to life. What I found the most intriguing in the book was the society and how these people had just allowed the government take over their lives and dictate how things occurred Huxley talked about sleep learning, which I know is being explored by neurobiologists and other scientists. Operant conditioning is already an accepted factor in our society and is discussed freely in many psychology classes.
But the one thing that always stuck with me from the book was when they were taking John The Savage around to see their world and they took him to a movie which was far more interactive than anything that exists now, although it does seem that people are moving in that way. It was a true full sensory experience with smell, touch, taste and as I recall some kind of biological reactions to things happening in the movie through sensors in the movie chairs. For John The Savage this was more than he could handle, while everyone who grew up with it thought it was quite normal.
Our lives rely on technology in a way no one could have imagined back in the 80's and it isn't all bad, I love being able to read the news I want to read and not what is fed to me by my local news stations. However I also know I waste a lot of time online playing. I still wonder what a full sensory movie would be like, the 3-d movies which I have experienced at Disney parks were always just amazing, I am not sure how comfortable I would feel smelling and tasting the movie as well. So this still isn't a book report, but I gave it a shot.

Race morning. First thing, Rob walks over to the hotel window, peers outside, and laughs. Uh-oh.
Sure enough, there's at least two inches of snow on the cars and the hotel flags are horizontal in the wind. Which among other things probably means the rest of the forecast will be right – highs around 30 all day with winds gusting 15 to 25 mph. Ugh. More cold weather racing. Where is spring?!?
Snow…recovering from a respiratory infection… This is definitely a play day.
What to Wear, What to Wear?
Choice of clothing can make or break a cold weather race, especially when you're already worn out from being sick. On one hand, sweating under too many layers is miserable. On the other hand, you can't add a layer you don't have while you're miles out on the trail. I settle on wool shirt, Patagonia Cool Weather top, wool tights, Smartwool socks, and wool gloves.
(Yes, if you haven't guessed, I love wool. It's more breathable than synthetics, feels soft and comfy, and is unbeatable in wet conditions.)
The woolly ensemble gets accessorized with the race Buff, handwarmers, and matching wool hat. Gaiters (I forgot to glue the velcro connection to my shoes) and Yaktrax (the runners ahead will clear the snow from the trail) stay in the car.
It may be one layer too many, but I add a Marmot rainproof (and more importantly windproof) jacket. It looks brutal out there.
It's a proud moment. My hat matches my Buff, matches my top. I'm ready to roll!
Getting There
At breakfast in the hotel lobby, we meet some other runners heading to the race. Rob assures them with unusual certainty that there are no creek crossings (remember this…) and we all troop outside to commence scraping cars. Rob and I are the first to creep slowly up the hill. I'm not used to driving in snow, especially on a road slanted out into oblivion, and the snow grows deeper the further up we drive. By the time we reach the race parking lot at Horine Reservation I feel like I've run an ultra.
The parking czar directs Rob down a dubious looking row, well mashed by the already-parked cars. His car bottoms out in the deep, black slush, splashing it on nearby cars. No way. I opt for the drier left side. Rob immediately revolts and splashes over to re-park near me. It will be a nice luxury to be able to wrestle the cars free of what will surely be ice by the time we're done.
That accomplished, it's down to business. This is a 15-mile and 50k. The 50k course is three distinct lollipop loops, all in different parts of the reservation but all connecting at the parking lot, which means we get to see the cars each segment. Everyone runs the same course until the 15-milers peel off on the third lollipop.
First Lollipop – All Fun and New
Since it's still snowing, the camera is banished to the car. Standing around, waiting for the start, I feel cool but not freezing to death, a sure sign I'm overdressed and in denial.
Cynthia Heady, the RD, gives the assembled crowd a briefing and without further ado, starts the race. The pack sprints down the gravel road toward the trailhead.
As always, I attempt to settle into a healthy stride but this time the surface is all snow. I try what's packed and what's loose. It all makes toe-off meaningless, but is easier running than the slushy stuff we ran in last weekend at home. Footing decoded, the main distraction quickly becomes ducking and dodging the overladen branches and cedar trees draping our path.
Maybe because of the weather, there seem to be fewer runners this year, and the pack thins out fast. An early set of creek crossings (yes, you read that right, there are indeed creek crossings) and mucky spots space us out even more as runners balk and hesitate, trying to find dry ways across. While this doesn't look like a good day for feet, no one in our vicinity seems to mind because they're too busy laughing at it the goofy choreography it takes to get across.
The added breathing room gives me a chance to look around and the woods are truly stunning. It must have snowed an extra couple inches up here – snow coats each branch and twig as high as it can pile without falling off. Trees, trail, rocks and mud – every surface is swathed in a blanket of pristine white batting, like a giant Christmas store window display gone awry. I should be looking at the trail but can't help staring around in awe.
We get our sea legs about the time the first lollipop brings us back to the cars, and it's none too soon. The jacket today is as breathable as a Ziploc bag and I want the camera. It's too cold to linger long. The wind is enjoying free reign across this treeless meadow at the top of the hill. We take care of business as fast as possible and get moving.
Second Lollipop – Getting Serious
Lollipop Two starts down the road we drove in on, then turns off onto a trail for the loop portion. It's a quiet road made extra quiet by the snow. Exception for the metallic roaring of a salt truck closing in from behind. It's so loud I step off the road into ankle deep snow to let it pass. It passes, flinging salt nuggets that crunch underfoot the rest of the way to the trailhead.
Dan Wells from Rattlesnake 50k is standing patiently in the cold at the trailhead to direct runners onto the loop with an enthusiastic smile. We talk for a few moments about that sweaty, July day that's a universe away from today.
The loop however, is not in a social mood and immediately demands our attention with a tight-rope width walk across a sheer, smooth rock drop-off that's intimidating on a good day, sweaty palms today. I test the footing and my shoe doesn't slip. It's not as icy as it looks (thank goodness), but setting foot on the other side is still a relief.
About the time we relax again, we catch up with with Suzelle, from the hotel lobby. She and her crew got lost on the way to the start but she's happy to be here and shares her fascinating (not to mention warm) tale about founding a business based in the Carribean. It's a great story but odd to be imagining. Palm trees, this day is not.
Even so, I wouldn't trade it. This is a one in a million day and it's impossible to get enough. Every view is a postcard and every half mile one of us exclaims "wow, look at that!" and means it. The day stays cold and cloudy so the snow stays thick and perfect. Once in a while, a gust blows snow dust off the trees, turning the trail ahead into a white, sparkly cloud. We laugh, and Rob jokes that, "someone's shaking the snow globe."
While the scenery stays beautiful, the footing varies. Occasional muck fests are easy to spot and unfortunately not a novelty, but most of the loop is snowy, which isn't my norm. Thankfully, the rule is easy to learn – go by color. Brown trail in view means leaves or dirt make it runnable; white means runner's steps have packed the snow and polished it to a smooth, icy finish. White is treacherous.
While waiting at the bottom of one of these toboggan runs for Rob, my unoccupied thoughts conjure up a quick vision – slipping on one step, falling on hard ice, breaking a bone, losing the spring season, missing Massanutten…bing-bing-bing, it could be that fast, it could happen, it could… Whoa. Deep breath. It's happened before but that's no reason to spend the day steeping in paranoia. We have plenty of time and it's a gorgeous day that will never come again. Relax and enjoy!
The few nearby runners slowly drift back and we find ourselves running the loop alone. Snow muffles the noise making it seem like we're outside the dimension of time. All we hear is the wind in the branches and our footsteps in the ice, leaves and mud, crunch-crunch, shssh-shssh, squitch-squitch.
One muddy squitch changes to "splash" as I underestimate a creek crossing and sink a entire foot into the water. The ensuing numbness slowly spreads up my calf and doesn't thaw the rest of the day. It's like running with a brick foot.
Third Lollipop – Scott's Gap Loopathon
Leaving the parking lot for the third and final lollipop, a smiling volunteer directing us says "you have a long way to go!" Is this supposed to be encouraging? Eh, he's well-meaning and probably doesn't know what he's talking about. I remember this lollipop being about the same length as the last one, so I smile and quip something funny back to him.
A minute or two down the trail and the 15-mile runners split off on their own. Our course winds downhill past a frozen reservoir and along road (horrors!) to an aid station near an impossibly picturesque visitor's center.
A mile (and hill) or two later, we almost literally run into Eric Grossman (men's winner and the creator of this race) on his way back along the lollipop leg to the finish. He stops to talk to Rob. Second and third place runners are much further back and we pass a few other runners heading to the finish when to my delight, Mike Ford (second place at my CT 50k) and I recognize each other as he passes by. Everyone is so bundled up, it's hard to identify anyone. We stop for a brief moment to talk before turning to head our own directions. He's smiling and running well, so I don't want to slow him down. It's also a good sign – Rob and I can't be that far behind.
So on we run, gawking at the scenery, when Rob whispers "look!" I catch my breath as a bushy-tailed coyote gallops up the snowy slope ahead to our left, every sinew and muscle working so flawlessly together I swear I can feel it, and it a moment, she's gone. Now that is running. My body feels like a frozen brick in comparison.
Still wowing with delight about the coyote, we roll into the Scott's Gap aid station in great shape for the return. I'm smelling the barn and reminding myself to take plenty of photos on the way back when the aid worker says "three miles on Scott's Gap Loop, seven back." "Three mile loop?" "Three miles?" "You're kidding…" I look at Rob, who reluctantly backs the guy up. The barn evaporates. Sigh… Well, that's the course so let's go.
I spend the loop promising myself to pay more attention to the courses we're running. We didn't do this loop last year and I try to think where we cut last year's course short and why we need three extra miles, but can't. Rob can't either. Well, anyway, it will probably be easy and quick. We still can't be that far behind Mike and the others.
Now that the race is over, I can safely say three key things about this loop:
- It's very scenic.
- There are definitely "some" creek crossings on it (try a bazillion).
- It takes eons longer than three miles should.
Not only that, but after gracefully navigating all the icy stuff to this point, I slip twice into the cold, wet mud, even getting the goop down the back of my shirt and immersing my new camera. I swear I can even taste it.
I finish the loop feeling bedraggled and we finally head toward the finish. The nagging little worry about daylight that wasn't worth mentioning before, now is. Rob insists we're okay and will finish well before 6 pm. I don't believe him but won't say it (he's only finished 560 ultras and could easily get this one wrong). I dragging from being sick (and probably being a little dehydrated) so we work at it and eventually roll in at (ta-da!) a PW (personal worst) of 9:30 (yes, that's hours; yes, it's only 31 miles).
And it's still as pretty as the moment we started.
Post Race Soup
Cynthia has at least a dozen hot soups waiting in the warm lodge, with plenty left for us and even (heart be still!) some vegan options. The red lentil Indian-spiced soup is out of this world. I stuff myself shamelessly on it and the spicy sweet potato soup and black bean soup while we chat with Cynthia and Brenda Gutmann, one of the runners and a former RD of this race. This is better than a restaurant. Rob will have to roll me home.
Eventually, though, the sky outside finishes turning dark and it's time to leave. We brace ourselves and dive out into the frigid night for the cars on the complete other side of the meadow.
At the edge of the almost-empty parking lot, there's a woman yelling for someone along the wood side, probably a dog. She starts yelling louder and more insistent and it turns out to be one of two women who'd been behind us all day, yelling at her companion to hurry up. She runs up to me to ask directions to the finish line. My feet are too numb to run them there so I point her toward the lodge, stay outside long enough watch her head the right way, then dive in the car to warm up.
Thank goodness for heated seats. The car says it's 25 degrees outside. As cold as that is, it seems colder. I can't wait to get out of my frozen, mud-caked shoes.
Today was certainly a personal worst in terms of time. It was 3 hours slower, to the minute, than my time here last year. This 50k (31 miles) took me half an hour longer than it took me to run 40 miles at Pine Mountain last month and only an hour less than it has taken me to run Mt. Masochist 50 miler. Even figuring for the snow and my lackluster health, the mileage is a bit suspect. But honestly, it doesn't matter. I'm happy to have been able to spend all that time in such a beautiful, one of a kind day.

Root user
Ok how do I log in as the root user? (I'm the only person using the computer theres no sucrity problems) I have a need to modify/put files directly in root. The computer says only root can modify root. Don't bother me about the hazards of doing this. (If it's easier on xp tell me I can navagate C:/ better than \ or whatever the slashes directiOn is supposed to be)
PS Using kubuntu
Found this with google, the first reply tells you how to enable your root user:
Could have just added your user to root users.
sudo su
It's not so much the security threat that causes people to get squirmy. It's the 'Oooooops, I didn't mean to delete that'
Just a bad practice all around.
Well thanks; think I got it, at windys can't try it. PS all I want to do with it (for now : }) is paste my .minecraft folder from the xP side of my comp to root (drive) since that's where it launches from. Don't worry the computer used to have Internet; it's not an illegal copy (well severly outdated at worst) why won't Kubuntu just let you modiphy root it's self and hide and make root the only user that can delete/modify system files (like winxp)?
Ok settling thing deleted my last post; think your right, at windys can't try it, all I what to do is copy my .mincraft folder to root for playing from Linux (where it's not haunted by the terrible RAM monster dragons like iTunes), and why don't they let you modify root (drive) and hide and mark all system files read only (like in winxp). Wow right when I finish this my old post comes up. Please give me a break from the double posting rule this one time, Please :)
I actually dont know what rules are here I just use the ones from the three other fourms I use/own. (there pretty much the same).
Edit: By sucurity problems in the thread I ment someone else getting mad at me for using the administrative account when Im like a limited user or something.
Edit2: By the way ubuntufourms gets mad at me and tells me to sine up all the time probably because I'm on a mobile divice. Thanks for trying though not trying to sound rude.
You can read system files as a normal user all day long, well most of them, but there's normally not a need to modify them, so they lock them down. The reason is that, should you contract some funky malware, that malware is not executing with root privileges in the background. The problem with XP was that, since the default user was a god admin, viruses and the like could run in the background do whatever they wanted to any file on the system and you'd never know the difference. That's why they introduced UAC with Vista, taking a good hint from most Linux distros.

Scanning History for Analogies to Iraq War
To find out which historical analogy best suits the U.S. situation in Iraq, Robert Siegel talks with several scholars: Professor Francis Fukuyama of the School of International Studies at Johns Hopkins University; Harvard professor Joseph Nye; Max Boot of the Council on Foreign Relations and Professor Ronald Steel of the University of Southern California.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
As we've heard, President Bush drew analogies between the current situation in Iraq and what the U.S. faced in its wars with Japan, Korea and Indo-China. And analogy is a crude tool, even at its most apt, but we wondered what other people who think and write about U.S. policy for a living would consider the most appropriate analogy, the experience from the past that holds the best comparison with the present.
So we called up a few political thinkers and asked them. First, Francis Fukuyama, professor of international political economy at Johns Hopkins University.
Professor FRANCIS FUKUYAMA (International Political Economy, Johns Hopkins University): I actually find the Bush's analogy to Vietnam not bad. It's a lot better than his analogy to World War II or the Cold War, because I think the stakes in Iraq are a lot lower than either of those global struggles. And I think he's right about the stakes with regard to Vietnam that it's going to be - a withdrawal will actually be terrible and costly for the people in the country itself - people of Iraq just as it was for the people of Vietnam.
But that the consequences internationally from a withdrawal will actually be not nearly as dire as they were not in the case of Vietnam. And so it's a difference between the inside and the outside. It's bad on the inside, but it's probably not that terrible from the standpoint of American foreign policy interests.
SIEGEL: You're saying that there could be a great loss of U.S. influence in the region, but that's different from, say, fascism taking over Europe and Asia in the Second World War.
Prof. FUKUYAMA: Well, I think the, yeah, the analogy to either World War II or the Cold War was always way overstated because in those conflicts, we were dealing with big industrialized, very powerful adversaries that really did have a capability of conquering a large part of the world. And in the case of communism represented a global ideology, here, we've got an ideology, but one that seems to only appeal to a certain minority of Muslims. And these people run a couple of third tier countries, but they really are not nearly as powerful as our adversaries in either the big struggle of the 20th century.
SIEGEL: That's Francis Fukuyama.
Max Boot focuses on military and national security issues at the Council on Foreign Relations. He's also the author of the book, "War Made New," about technology and warfare over the past 500 years. He doesn't disagree with the president's likening of Iraq to Vietnam, but he has other thoughts.
Mr. MAX BOOT (Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations; Author, "War Made New"): Of course, it's very hard to say right now what the exact analogy is to Iraq or to Afghanistan because, of course, we don't know how they're going to turn out. But the two things that come to mind right away are two conflicts in the 1950s. In Malaysia, as it's now known, or Malay as it was in the 1950s, and Algeria where the French and the British confronted very difficult insurgencies which took many years of difficult fighting for them to come to grips with.
In the case of Malaysia, the British prevailed over the course of a decade -the British government, the British public, and the British army kept their will to win and we're ultimately able to contain a communist uprising and to defeat it. Whereas in the case of Algeria, the French lost. And it wasn't because they lost on the ground, in fact, the military won the battle of Algiers. They were defeating the nationalist uprising in Algeria.
But ultimately, the cost of that, a conflict with tens of thousands of casualties and also the perceived laws of French honor through the use of torture and other repugnant techniques destroyed the will on the home front to continue the struggle and ultimately, of course, France's enemies prevailed in Algeria, it became independent. So we don't know which one of those is going to be a good analogy for Iraq or Afghanistan, but I think those are the range of possibilities that we confront today.
SIEGEL: That's Max Boot of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Professor Ronald Steel of the University of Southern California reaches a little farther back into the past for his most apt analogy. Steel compares the war in Iraq with a counterinsurgency the U.S. fought in the Philippines after capturing the islands from Spain in the Spanish-American War.
Professor RONALD STEEL (International Relations, University of Southern California): The fighting lasted until 1913, started in 1898. And U.S. troops remained there really until independence in 1946.
SIEGEL: What's so analogous between what happened in the Philippines and what's happening in Iraq?
Prof. STEEL: Well, there are several, I think. The first - the announced goal was to liberate both Cuba and the Philippines from a tyrannical regime, the tyrannical regime in that case being Spain. Essentially, it was viewed or defended as the humanitarian act.
The second was the announced public religiosity of the president at the time. William McKinley is often quoted as saying that he had heard the voice of God, which told him to liberate these people from their terrible yolk of oppression.
Third analogy is that the controlling power - in that case, Spain, not Saddam Hussein - was immediately defeated. There was (unintelligible) there was a great victory.
SIEGEL: The difficulty came after that.
Prof. STEEL: But then, of course, (unintelligible) immediately a rebellion broke out because there was a Philippine independence movement that had fighting the Spaniards, and they wanted immediate independence, and the Americans did not want to give them that independence because there was an unspoken but very real desire to stay on to gain the important - make control of the important naval base that's Manila, which had an economic bases, which was to protect the China trade, which was then being threatened by Europeans and Japanese expansion.
SIEGEL: That's Ronald Steel.
And finally, we called Professor Joseph Nye of Harvard, who agrees to an extent with President Bush's analogy to Vietnam.
Dr. JOSEPH NYE (Dean, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government): Well, there is no good analogy. This mess is sui generis. But I guess the closest would be Vietnam in the sense that we've gotten ourselves into a war against the nationalistically mobilized population, which were not in the process of winning.
And the difference with all analogies break down is that after we got out of Vietnam, the people who took over were the North Vietnamese. And that was a government, which preserved order. And the problem in Iraq is who's going to preserve order after we get out? So like all analogies, it's imperfect. But I guess that would be the closest.
SIEGEL: And any other analogies farther afield?
Prof. NYE: Well, further afield one can think back to Britain in Iraq in the 1920s but they left behind a government, which at least lasted a few decades, or perhaps even further afield, Britain in the 1890s, in the Boer War where they took on the Boer Republic at great cost. It was very damaging to Britain's reputation and soft power around the world. But again, the analogy breaks down because at least they got out of it with some degree of order.
SIEGEL: But as you say, all analogies break down in the end.
Prof. NYE: That's the problem, which is that, as Mark Twain once said, history never repeats itself, at best it rhymes.
SIEGEL: That's Joseph Nye of Harvard.
There is another saying that might be invoked, too. It's a Muslim saying, evidently from the Shiite tradition, that the first to reason by analogy was the devil.

Kerala is fortunate in that it can boast of balmy weather almost all the year through. Unlike the north, it never gets too cold in the winter months, while the summers do not have the harshness of some of the other parts of the country. The result is a destination that is accessible year round. Best time is November-February when the air is bracing on some mornings there is a light mist, in the hills light woollens may be required in the evenings and early mornings. Warm (but not hot) months are March-May and September-October : at such times the flowers are out and though there is humidity, it is not daunting. Mid-May to August is the monsoon period, so you can expect a wet time. In addition, June can also be windy.
The winter season sets in during the month of December and continues till end of February. During this season comparatively there is less rainfall especially in the northern parts of the state.
Winter is followed by the summer season. Its tarts in February and continues till May. Temperature is very high during this period. Occasional showers with Lightning is a characteristic of this season. Kottayam receives the highest rainfall during this season.
South West Monsoon
The South West Monsoon begins either in the end of May or in the beginning of June and fades out by September. Moving towards north, this seems to gain intensity. During this period Peerumedu in Idukki and Vaithiri-Kuttiyadi range in Malabar receive the highest rainfall. The rainfall is comparatively low in the Lakshadweep islands. In the southern areas the monsoon is around 40-50% and in the northern areas it is around 80%.
North East Monsoon
The NorthEast Monsoon commences in October, dry weather setting in by the end of December. The Kanjirappalli-Peerumedu range and Kuttiyadi area experience the abundance of NorthEast Monsoon. The northern parts of the state account for a mere 10% of the annual rainfall.
The annual range of temperature is comparatively low in Kerala. The coastal areas record a maximum temperature of 32c and a minimum of 22c.The interiors record a maximum of 37c during summer. In the coastal area it is hot and humid during April-May while cool during December-January.

Code Monkeys was a small little TV show about making video games in the eighties. Given the subject matter it makes perfect sense that it is animated in 8bit style. It's crude and rude and very funny, if you don't see someone that reminds you of a person you know, well then you aren't spending enough time with the right people.
Or the Wrong ones.
Great song too.

I have been pretty busy of late but really not much to write about here. I have been doing some spring cleaning and getting flowers planted and mulch spread.
I have been participating in a stash challenge wiht some cyber friends and later this week I will share some pictures fo things I have made thus far.
I thought I would share the cookies I made this weekend and the recipe. These cookies are a long time favorite of my husband's but I haven't made them in a while. They smell really yummy when cooking to-- I guess it is the cinnamon. Yum-- I love just about anything with cinnamom.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup shortening
2 well beaten eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups oats
1 cup pecans (chopped)
1 cup white raisins
Cream sugars and shortening. Add beaten eggs and beat well. Add flour and vanilla. Stir in pecans, raisins and oats. Mix well. Drop by teaspoons on greased cookie sheet.( I cover my cookie sheet with foil-- Serves 2 purposes-- no greasing and the pan stays clean so no washing). Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned in 350 degree oven. Makes 7-8 doz cookies. I usually half this recipe and it still makes plenty.

Download PanGu Jailbreak iOS 10.2 for iPhone, iPad now…
Apple has released couple of new beta versions to iOS 10.2 which bring complete new set of security features and prevent Jailbreak iOS 10.2 team from injecting Cydia tweaks into the new firmware.
According to PanGu which is developing Jailbreak 10.2 for this new firmware iOS 9.3, he said that the new firmware is really tough to inject any jailbreak code into the 9.3.
A member of jailbreak team suggests that any user who want to install Cydia tweaks or jailbreak applications need to keep away from iOS 9.4 or iOS 10.
One of the most popular jailbreak team is working hard to release public Jailbreak IOS 10.2 since couple of months and they are working on beta versions.
Now when, they are too close to release public Jailbreak 9.3, it will be completely free tool. According to the team, they are contacting with Saurik who is developer of Cydia installer to avoid any critical issue while installing Cydia on iOS 9.3.
TaiG which is the another team who is working on this so called iOS 10.2 Jailbreak, is taking serious because they haven't released any Jailbreak for iOS 10.2 till yet.
Luca Todesco Is confident that he would release next Jailbreak iOS 9.3. But, Luca has not much courses to support public Jailbreak. And I think he needs a lot of experience before releasing public Jailbreak IOS 9.3.
So the bottom line is, we need to wait for jailbreak 10.2 for free. If there is anyone who want to jailbreak I would suggest that dont purchase or buy paid Jailbreak iOS 10.2 from any website or blog.
If you need any suggestion or if you have any query, just comment.

text: finally got out of my Samsung Moment and into an EVO. I'm stoked. I love this forum and look forward to learning/contributing. I have been lurking the last few weeks while I researched new phones, and I see a few old names here I looked at the stickies and whatnot, but a few things go unanswered: 1. do I need to root the phone to get good battery life? 2. Is there a way to root without custom kernels and stuff? Like to just be able to freeze the bloatware with titanium backup or something? 3. can I customize the LED(s) besides which types of notifications make the red one light up? Also, I had been looking forward to Sense but I'm already missing a few 'vanilla' features. Never saw that coming. I'm going to stick it out a bit and see if I get over it, though.

Simply put: it's absolutely fantastic and I will stay here every time I am in Cape Town regardless of the purpose of my visit. However, this fantastic home-away-from-home deserves more than simple murmurings of "well done!" Therefore, I'll list the reasons why you should stay there too!
My credentials: In 2011 and 2013, I stayed here for over 2 weeks during a business workshop with 5 of our clients. As the group leader, I am more than a bit picky to make sure the clients feel 100% catered to and cared for. We have high expectations for the places we visit and we have chosen to stay at the Blackheath twice now during this training workshop. Therefore, I feel like a very good resource for this review.
1. The staff
From the moment you email or call the Blackheath, they treat you like family. Antony and his staff will send you helpful tips to plan your vacation or business trip. They will insure your payments are accurate and follow up with you before you arrive to insure you are ready for your visit with them. They will find you the best restaurants, coffee shops, even hair salons and massage parlors! Should you merely mention you are fond of something, they will insure it is available whenever you ask. They had coffee ready for me the moment I walked downstairs in the morning and would offer my favorite wine when we arrive back after a long day. Charlay, Jean-Claude, Godfrey & Peter could not have been more helpful, more caring about our needs and more reliable.
2. The location
You are away from the street noise of Main Road and feel like a local resident! The location is a short walk from the main attractions but safely tucked away from hustle and bustle of the beach goers and revelers. While some rooms have a view of the ocean, each room is exquisitely decorated with hand-picked touches that makes you want to curl up in the comfortable beds and couches and just stare at the artwork and coffee table books. The linens are crisp, clean and sparkling white. The bath towels are huge and fluffy. Each bathroom is spacious and worthy of a white glove test. Each room has a flat screen tv, dvd player (with a huge collection of new releases you can use for free in the lobby), cable television, a hair dryer, house phone and a cell phone to use while you are in residence. The common areas are filled with comfortable chairs, lots of books and tour guides to help your stay be more enjoyable. The pool area has plush sleeping chairs and lush vegetation surrounding the beautifully tiled lounging area.
3. The Meals
Oh, I dream about this when I am away! Every morning, they have fresh fruit of pineapple, apples, pears, kiwi, bananas and oranges PLUS yoghurt, granola, cereals, baked healthy tarts, coffee, organic teas and smoothies AND you can order omelets or scrambled eggs with fresh mushrooms, bacon, tomatoes or green onions. Each breakfast comes with hearty, tasty multigrain bread with preserves and butter as well. You will not need lunch because the food is so delicious and filling.
All meals are served in a bright and cheerful common area with a potbelly stove for those cold winter mornings and big paddle fans for cooling off during the summer months. You can also ask for your breakfast to be sent to your room. Likewise, they are so accommodating to even save a late plate if you want to do a sunrise tour and will miss the regular hours for breakfast.
You can also order sandwiches and cheese plates all hours of the day. Also, they have a full bar with spirits, sodas, beer and, best of all, a huge collection of local wines!
4. Business Services
This is not just a luxury hotel for safari or beach travelers. If you need business services, the entire hotel is linked to free wifi. They have a common use computer in the common area. Likewise, they will print off boarding passes, itineraries, tour tickets, etc. for free. They have laundry and dry cleaning service and service is same day. They make reservations, confirmations and book whole tours for you. Need a taxi? They will arrange it for you and negotiate a price for longer trips. Need a car? They can find you the best rates for rental cars in the city. They are a whole service location without the extras and they do it with class and a smile.
In conclusion, I simply cannot recommend this location enough. You will find that Blackheath is a location that will make you want to come to Cape Town, just so you can stay with your friends there again. Please feel free to ask me any questions about this review as I will happily oblige! Thank you to the entire staff for such a great stay & making our entire workshop family feel so well cared for during our stay!

Fruit & Vegetable Processing
Reduce spoilage and improve produce quality
Washing fruit and vegetables in chlorinated water produces harmful chlorinated by-products that can taint both taste and colour. Use ClO2 to effectively disinfect with low dose rates, high effectiveness and no chlorinated by-products.
Producers report increases in product shelf life, no taint and improved customer acceptance when replacing doses of >10ppm chlorine with 2-3ppm of ClO2
From a small salad or herb washing bath to a large scale fast produce cutting and washing line complete with flumes, effective water disinfection is often the key to maintaining produce shelf life and customer standards.
Ineffective disinfection of wash water can mean pathogenic bacteria such as E.Coli are spread across multiple batches of produce, reading to the risk of failure in HACCP control points, and expensive product "holds" or recalls.
The powerful and effective action of chlorine dioxide is not affected by background organic compounds, leaving more of the biocide free to do the job it is designed for, the inactivation of dangerous bacteria. ClO2 can penetrate biofilms and bacteria embedded on the cuticle of fresh produce, eliminating the source of spoilage before the produce leaves your facility.
Scotmas provide a wide range of systems to deliver ClO2 as a process aid into the vegetable washing environment. From our simple Cidox tablets designed for one-off batch washing operations, through to our Bravo WX continuous treatment system used for high water volume systems such as flumes, water recycling we can offer both the equipment and advanced technical service required to integrate ClO2 into your HACCP regime.
Simple, continuous treatment of water storage bowsers and holding tanks
Advanced ClO2 dosing and residual monitoring/logging, designed for high volume water users as water recycling systems
Water treatment tablets designed for batch dosing in wash tanks and dips
A team of engineers, chemists and microbiologists on hand to help you integrate ClO2 into your HACCP system
Managing Director, Alistair Cameron gives an overview of Scotmas Group and our expertise in Chlorine Dioxide

No! The work to get your website to the top of the ranks is way harder than what can be done for 10 dollars a month. When I first started in this awesome forum I owned a separate website from the one I own now. It was allyoucanfranchise.com (I can give the link freely...its not spam as it doesn't exist anymore.) I hired an SEO company for a monthly fee (it was like 85 a month) and they got me google smacked.
It was around the time penguin first came out. That site never recovered. It went from position 14, to non existent... and it was a lesson learned Luckily I had ruffled the feathers of an existing franchise directory who knew what I was up too, had the url, was checking daily and seeing the companies I was getting signed under on my then freebee listing to build clientele, and I placed a call and was able to sell the company to them (for those who are gonna ask how I convinced them to buy my company I disrupted their norm with free ads, and then during my call advised I was trying to see if we had any "synergies" in common... Its a BS word, purposefully so, as I was trying to tactfully let them know I was looking for help, and I was just vulnerable enough for them to start thinking of absorbing me Anyways I sold the now google smacked company for mere chump change compared to the work I had put in on closing those franchise ad's. It was in no way a win. Somewhere on this forum is the original post I put up when it happened.
I was livid and had learned a hard lesson. I received some outstanding advise from some one in the forum. They said, it would be better to build articles your self just one a week, and build up your content.. I listened. I took the money from the sale of allyoucanfranchise, and put everything I had in terms of time online spreading the word legitimately and all the money I had in to GameStartStores.com and it became a success. witnessed here by all of the regulars in this forum. I gotta say, now.. some years later, I think that is the best advise. I want to echo what Harold said. It is indeed a Marathon of every thing he mentioned. There is NO WAY to sprint through it. You need to get to work on social media, blogs, articles, video content, and most importantly...you need to be an awesome resource/source for the information you are putting out there. If you are not, google and the rest of the search engines will see through it and you will never ever gain ranking. The 10 dollar a month offer is literally prima facia BS. Its not possible I promise.

Press Review: Washingtonian
Posted July 2003
When I arrived at 7:30 PM, the crowd at Mezè consisted of a couple at an outdoor table and one bar patron. By the time I left at 9:30, the place was packed. And at Mezè, packed means packed. The room is narrow, the tables are close together, and the patrons seem equally attracted by the mezze on the menu and the drinks at the bar.
About three quarters of the menu is devoted to mezze, the spread of appetizers that precedes a Middle Eastern meal. Most of the crowd seems to make a full meal of the little dishes, just as the crowd at Jaleo downtown and in Bethesda makes a full meal of Spanish tapas.
When the pleasant servers manage to get through the crowd and fit multiple dishes on your small table, you'll find Turkish mezze of a very high quality, including some items seldom found on local menus. Hummus, puréed chickpeas and tahini seasoned with olive oil and garlic, is not unusual, but the sesame-studded bread that accompanies it is first-rate. Other good choices include mucver, little zucchini pancakes served with tomato and yogurt sauces; a very good version of grape leaves, stuffed with onions, rice, and pine nuts; Sigara Böregi, the little phyllo "cigars" filled with feta and fresh herbs; a delicious cabbage roll stuffed with rice and herbs; and terrific kofta, beef-and-lamb meatballs with parsley and onions. For dessert, try the kunefe, a warm dessert of crisp kataife pastry atop melted cheese.
Mezè, 2437 18th St., NW; 202-797-0017. Open daily for dinner, Saturday and Sunday for brunch.

It's been days since this was posted! Why does the poor kitty still not have new balls? Do her human's enjoy seeing the poor thing heartbroken?Reply
I swear I did not type that apostrophe! My phone hates proper grammar.Reply
I know. It is such an utter travesty. I puked near my slave's chair this morning in protest. She cleaned it up without comment. I will make her suffer, until new balls are acquired.
She, once again, seems to feel this 'money' is an obstacle. $3-4 of these complete 'money' things is not too much for 4 of my balls, all of different colors.
The male human servant doesn't seem to agree with this.
According to my maths, one sale of her whatever-it-is can buy me a bag of balls, and also donate to my kibble fund. Of course all of this 'money' should go to me. Isn't that natural?!Reply

Chris Covatta/Getty ImagesThe Mavericks will have to consider moving on from Shawn Marion, who turned 36 in early May.
Now that the dust has settled on the Dallas Mavericks' season, ESPNDallas.com will explain the big-picture outlook the Mavs need to analyze as they look ahead to the offseason and beyond.
Shawn Marion has been the anchor for the Mavs' defensive approach since he arrived in 2009. Over time, he emerged as one of the most versatile options on the team, both offensively and defensively. Alongside Dirk Nowitzki, he is one of the lone pieces remaining from the 2011 championship roster. He now approaches free agency, a place he hasn't been since 2009. Having been able to rely on Marion as a constant at small forward, the Mavs will have to decide if they need to start anew at the position.
Along the lines discussed earlier in this series, bringing Devin Harris back and possibly inserting him into the starting lineup creates new opportunities, but it also creates more problems. While he will boost the team's versatility, speed and defensive disposition, he shrinks the floor in terms of perimeter shooting. Both Harris and Monta Ellis will cause chaos for the opposition with their penetration, but coaches can counter that by giving them space, daring them to shoot. At that point, it's essential to have a small forward who can space the floor. You can't expect Nowitzki to be the lone weapon who consistently stretches the floor.
To his credit, Marion expanded his game and tried to stretch the floor this season as he hit 58 3-pointers. That's a tremendous uptick in production from beyond the arc as he made a total of 51 treys in his previous four seasons with Dallas (23 in 2012-13, 20 in 2011-12, five in 2010-11 and three in 2009-10). Marion's 35.8 percent shooting from 3-point range was his highest since he shot 38.7 percent for the Phoenix Suns during the 2002-03 season.
[+] EnlargeThe problem is, Marion is 36 and has already said he's willing to consider retirement after two more seasons. That means Dallas has to consider moving on from Marion to find the heir apparent at small forward. There have been options linked to the Mavs such as Luol Deng and Trevor Ariza, both as potential replacements for Marion. There have been pie-in-the-sky options such as Carmelo Anthony and other options such as Gordon Hayward, Chandler Parsons, Thabo Sefolosha, P.J. Tucker and Al-Farouq Aminu, but it likely comes down to Deng and Ariza as the primary targets.
Deng would likely come with a heavier impact on the salary cap for Dallas, but at 29 years old, he provides a much younger option. He is a legitimate two-way player and a strong veteran presence in the locker room. Unfortunately, there are concerns about his durability. On top of that, he didn't exactly turn things around in Cleveland with the Cavaliers when he was traded there in January. While he is versatile, he doesn't have the same elasticity that Marion has when it comes to defending smaller players, though he's skilled against small forward-like options in a variety of defensive settings.
Ariza played the probably best stretch of basketball of his career during the Washington Wizards' playoff run. He was a skilled defender on the perimeter and shot an incredibly efficient 44.6 percent from 3-point range in the playoffs. There is concern because his 40.7 percent shooting from long range this season was a career high. Was it a turning of the corner or a contract-year aberration? Where Deng might struggle with smaller players on defense, Ariza can be effective. Taking size and versatility into account, Ariza might be the best defensive option of the three.
Marion said it wouldn't take Dallas "too much" for him to return during the team's exit interviews. That might be the case, but teams such as the Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers could easily come and call, offering championship contender opportunities. Marion and the Mavs are at a crossroads, and both must decide if it is best to part ways. If that decision is made, it will have a ripple effect on the entire roster.

Daniel's Heart is my journey into "Improvised Meditations". This CD was recorded "live off the floor" and there was no editing. What you hear is what I played. It isn't perfect but it is excellent!

This CD is dedicated to my children, Chad and Janie Lee, their children and their children's children. "Dream big and live bigger!!!" 'Blessed be the name of God, forever and ever. He knows all, does all: He changes the seasons and guides history, He raises up kings and also brings them down, he provides both intelligence and discernment, He opens up the depths, tells secrets, sees in the dark-light spills out of him!

Watching the deer run out from under our deck while drinking morning coffee brings us back to what is important in life which is the beauty of God's creation.
Rick and Ruby Schneider purchased this cabin in 2013
After several years of vacationing in this area we decided we love the area and want to enjoy our retirement years in a great place at our own discretion. We love the quiet atmosphere where everything is not so rushed, but at the spur of the moment if we want to go skiing, boating or just to see a show and have time with each other and our family it is just minutes away. The wildlife in this area is awesome to watch and having the opportunity to take a relaxing mini vacation to re-charge our batteries is such an asset because it is easily accessible for a weekend trip. We have all the amenities of home at our lake cabin so relax, enjoy yourselves and focus on the importance of family and friends.

If you are looking for a place to relax and get the kids away from electronics, this is the perfect place! That porch is to die for!!!!!!! The cabin is beautiful! It is well stocked with kitchen, bed, and bath items! Be sure to bring any food items that you will need because you are certainly away from it all!!!! I LOVED IT! WOULD ASBOLUTLY BOOK IT AGAIN!!!!
The cabin was great and it really was away from everything- but close enough to Eureka Springs and Brandon- so it ended up being perfect. We fished every day we were there. Rick was amazing at directions and things to do :)
Nice place. Everything is as shown and described. I'd rent again.
Cabin is tucked away from it all and was a great place to unwind. Make sure you have a your supplies as there are not many options to grab groceries nearby.
Clean, well maintained. Beautiful home. Great memories.
My family and I stayed in this cabin last week and have absolutely no complaints! We had a wonderful relaxing time. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. My two young boys loved walking down to the lake every morning and evening to fish and I loved not having to get out early to take them elsewhere to fish. We enjoyed renting a boat from a nearby marina and zip lining and cave exploring in Eureka Springs. Both were just a short drive away. My parents joined us for a couple of nights and there was ample room for the 6 of us. I would highly recommend this cabin. Thanks for the relaxing get away!
Located between Branson and Eureka Springs in Golden Missouri. Cabin sits close to a private air strip, Golden Museum, close to Zoos, Eagle Rock Marina, Kings River Marina, MM Marina all close by for boat rental, skiing, Rafting/Canoeing on Kings River, fishing right out the back door. Putting your boat in the water and enjoying the lake is great summer fun whether fishing, scuba diving, swimming or skiing the deep waters of the great Table Rock lake. Table Rock is such a beautiful lake come and enjoy. Our cabin is at the 25 mile marker of Table Rock lake.

Nike Max Air Team Training Backpack
Most backpacks available today are more or less the same. You can expect a couple of main compartments, exterior water bottle holders, and a laptop/tablet sleeve in almost every model. So when I recently started shopping for a backpack, I wanted something with a feature or two that really set it apart from the rest. I found it in the Nike Max Air Team Training pack.
This backpack comes in several different sizes, including Medium, Large, and Extra Large. I went with the Extra Large version because I plan to use it for lugging my workout gear (including clothes, shoes, and towels) to and from the gym. I couldn't fit all that stuff in my last backpack, and ended up having to walk with shoes and a wet towel in my hands.
So besides the size, the other thing that drew me to this particular backpack is its "hydration pouch". This is an insulated pouch at the front of the pack that is meant to hold a Camelbak hydration device or something similar. I've been using it to keep protein shakes, extra water, and even sandwiches nice and cool until I'm ready to consume them. So far it's working out great!
This backpack cost about $60, which is reasonable for the size. I think I've got a good one here, and just hope it lives up to expectations for at least 2-3 years.

text: Yesterday I visited Ramkay for my Punto 1.4's 5th service (48month/60k km service) at 38xxx km. Reached by 9:30am and started back by 7pm taking delivery of the car. SA was sharath and full satisfied with way I was attended to, explaining what are covered, what are offered, taking for a test drive pre service etc. I was planning to stay back with the car (atleast during the initial part of service where all fluids get changed and also diagnosis of anything basically wrong is done) but later decided to stay back till delivery as it seemed that delivery will be possible the same day, though belt changes (bit time consuming) are also done. For 1.4 16V petrol belt changes are required per schedule, though the toothed timing belt can be just checked and replaced during 4th year and if not changed, then mandatory replacement at 5th year. Mine was found to be in a slightly harder condition and was changed. So also the aux belt. But acc belt for PSteering was as good and was not changed.(There are three belts, thus 2 were changed). Brake pads were towards their life end. Got them changed too. I got spare quantities of Engine oil and coolant for my top up purposes. Opted out of car wash and align/bal as I will be changin my tires in another month. Towards evening things were pretty clear to wind up by 5- 5:30. But still adding to my concerns, due to late clearance from parts dep and some cleaning (which I clearly said need not be done, to save time as well as it was not needed as requested by me) billing was delayed and I could get out only by 7 instead of the planned 6:15. So all plans of mine had to be changed wrt to a meeting at 7:30pm. Though (as an after thought) it was passable, I gave low marks for that glitch- rest all gave 10/10- true to my feeling. Still, I would say delivery on same day was done as per the tentative promise. Pics of bill attached. Met with Anand (as posted above) during mid day. What other nice time pass than getting a fellow TFIan to chat with in an apt place all sorrounded by Puntos and Lineas . Met with another TFIan while I was waiting for billing. Maheswaran from Vellore with his Punto that was IN for glow plug issue itself. We both had enthusiats's discussion for some time in the lobby. And we were almost the last at the SC to leave tha day BTW anyone know what is this seen in the pic - the box type with 3 wires going to bottom. It is in the Rear right wheel well. Both of us were not able to make out what is it. Added, I didnt find this same box in the adjacent BNW Punto which was in a lifted position (it was there after the TW Linea in pic)

This is Zutphen the Baku! This is a collaboration between myself and another doll artist, Remjie. Remjie sculpted and cast the head, paws and ears while i painted the cast parts and created the body. I think our work meshes well and it's always a pleasure to work with her designs. Zutphen is a Baku, a dream eating creature from Japanese folklore. She is very hungry for nightmares, a great companion for anyone who has bad dreams!
Zutphen is made from cast urethane that is hand painted. Her body is soft faux fur with no articulation. Her necklace is made from glass, wood, metal, seeds and horn beads.
This doll sits at 9" tall. She is meant for adult art collectors, not for children. The doll can be handled and cuddled but please treat her with care.
She will come with an etched wood tag marking it as one of my one of a kind critters.
I'm not open for commissions.

text: The food is just okay. As for "Yankee" (I am a life long Charlestonian) the owner is the type of person why we Southerners consider this a deragatory term in reference to ones (lack of, or not polite) personality . I do not really like to streotype, however, the brusque and hurried manner of the employees and the OWNER, left me speechless...which rarely happens. It is not worth the wait and the poor service for a slapped together deli sandwich or a flavorless soup. I would rather go to Subway.
