Birds love our house!
Every spring and summer without fail, several birds will build nests in any nook and cranny they can find on our house. In June we had a robin that had five offspring in a nest right outside our garage door. Several weeks ago, I noticed another (or maybe the same) robin had built a nest on the freshly painted west side of our house. She didn't stay long…I presume the fumes of fresh paint weren't to her liking. However, a week later I noticed that a Mourning Dove had altered the robin's nest adding more sticks and twigs. She promptly plopped down inside the nest and has called it her home ever since. The nest is too high for me to check inside, but I'm hoping our painters will be able to see how many eggs she has laid when she flies off to stretch her wings. I love Mourning Doves. They are such docile creatures and their calls take me back to my childhood days when summers were spent at my Grandmother's house. A huge tree on her property was home to Cardinals and Mourning Doves and I would listen ardently for the "hooo-hooo-hooo-hooo" sounds they made as I sat on the front porch stoop, scraping the sugary, white filling from my Oreo cookies!

Felipe Juan Pablo and Alfonso de Todos los Santos, His Royal Highness The Prince of the Asturias, Felipe de Borbón y Grecia, third child of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía of Spain, was born in Madrid on January 30, 1968.
Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano was born on September 15, 1972, at Oviedo, Spain. She married Alonso Guerrero in a civil ceremony in 1998, and was divorced a year later.
The royal couple have two daughters: Leonor, born on October 31, 2005, and Sofía, born on April 29, 2007, both in Madrid.
The couple met when Letizia, a journalist and news presenter, was in Galicia on assignment to cover the sinking of the Prestige oil tanker in November, 2002. Prince Felipe was there to view the damage caused by the accident. They started dating the following spring, and managed to keep their romance secret until their engagement.
On November 1, 2003, the King and Queen of Spain announced the engagement of Prince Felipe to Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, who appeared together before the media on November 3.
Three days later, on November 6, the formal betrothal took place.
Felipe and Letizia's marriage ceremony took place on May 22, 2004 at the Cathedral Nuestra Senora de la Almudena in Madrid, Spain.
The ceremony was conducted by Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouca Varela, Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid, assisted by two other cardinals, five bishops, a prior and an abbot.
Prince Felipe presented Letizia with 13 gold coins, or arras, during the marriage ceremony as is traditional at Spanish weddings. The coins were from the Bank of Spain collection, the oldest of which was coined in times of the Catholic Monarchs, and the most recent during the reign of Alfonso XIII. The coins were loaned by the Bank of Spain and then returned.
During the exchange of arras, Felipe forgot his lines and referred to a script.
The wedding day had begun gray and wet, but as the couple were leaving the cathedral, the sun came out and bathed the royal couple in sunlight.
After the ceremony, Princess Letizia offered her bridal bouquet to the Virgin of Atocha at the Royal Basilica of Our Lady of Atocha.
The tradition is for royal brides to present their bouquet to the Virgin, and to present newborn Infantes of Spain to the Virgin.
King Juan Carlos, then Prince of Spain, offered his children, the current Prince of the Asturias (1968), and Infantas Elena (1963) and Cristina (1965), to the Virgin. Infanta Leonor and Infanta Sofia, Felipe and Letizia's daughters, were also presented.
The nephews and nieces of the royal bride and groom were flower girls and page boys:
The ladies-in-waiting were Ana Codorniu Alvárez de Toledo and Claudia González Ortiz.
One of the anecdotes of the wedding was when one of the pageboys, the groom's nephew Froilan kicked one of the flower girls, Letizia's niece Carla.

General InformationEdit
IGN: Cherry_Rae
Character Name: Tori
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Height: 1.72m
Birthplace: Feldaren, ACL
Occupation: Employee at Kentucky Fried Plusle
Tori has long, platinum hair and a pair of blue eyes - features often matched with attire of dark colours and accompanied by a rather pale complexion.
Tori is an overly excited and bubbly person who is constantly causing disaster due to Tmein's poking powers, much to her friend's disapproval.
A significant amount is known and canon about Tori prior to her residence in Comitatus. It can be assumed that she has dwelled in the city before, as she is familiar with her surroundings. As revealed in *insert episode here*, Tori's parents live in South Comitatus with a cat named Snake and two fish named Bruce and Graham, and are both incredibly fond of animals - but due to the small property of which they possess, they cannot fulfill their dreams of living in a zoo, hence the purchase of over 150 wax animal figures.
Tori has a younger brother named Liberty who is at the age of 23 and lives in Fin Pruzah Fahdon because of his current literary studies at FU (Frostholm University). While her brother was incredibly successful throughout both their primary and secondary education at Leafen School, Tori's only talent was in creative writing. She also attended FU and enrolled herself in a journalism course, graduated at 22 years old but failed to be employed as a professional and instead found herself a job at KFP and lived at her parents' home for a year. After several promotions she began gaining a mediocre yet decent income, and decided to move out - and in with Tmein.
Abilities & PowersEdit
- Psychopathy (Later explained)
Episode OneEdit
Tori arrives in central Comitatus with pernus shaped baggage - much to the disapproval of Baggage Inspector, who makes her proceed to private baggage inspection. After a rather long delay, she meets Tmein in the arrivals section, and follows her to their new appartment where Tori expresses her delight at the quality of the carpets.
Later on in the evening, after discovering Tmein's secret PayRC hacking scheme, Tori wakes up to find Tmein hanging off the side of the building. She falls off herself, but manages to fly up again, giving her the idea that the two of them are stuck in the matrix. This shared dream, however, is a result of psychopathy.
Episode TwoEdit
Waking up the next morning wondering about all the sparkles all over the floor, Tori soon discovers that her and Tmein shared the same dream. She decides to punch Tmein in the face for a reality check, but is otherwise not bothered by what happened.
Tori soon finds out that Tmein's cooking skills are equal to hers, as while Tmein tries to eat a frozen steak she mitakes the bathroom sink for a microwave. After throwing a couple of punches at the sink she agrees to go out for breakfast with Tmein to the pines, where they discover that the world appears to be void of all people that aren't psychopaths.
- Cheese is one of Tori's favourite foods, and she tries to put it in whatever she can
- She consumes a lot of Avis: Insomnia's Bane to help her get to sleep, however she has used it so much that it is no longer effective and instead does the opposite
- The shower in the flat offers a wide selection of bodywashes - Tori's favourite is the pear flavoured one
- Her favourite comic series is The Unsneezables
- Her favourite film is The Mind Games based off the novel of the same name by Chera Anone, which also happens to be her favourite book
- She dislikes it when people leave doors open

Lewisham Healthcare NHS Trust is applying to become a Foundation Trust and has opened a public consultation on the matter.
Work crosses over with my slightly clandestine visits to this blog during work hours...
There's a "Save Our NHS" sub-group of the Lewisham Pensioners Forum - that has been campainging on NHS issues for the last four years or more - and Joy Ellery, the Director of Knowledge, Governance and Communications for the Lewisham Healthcare NHS Trust, is coming along to their meeting on Tuesday 15th March (at 1.30 in the Saville Centre, 436 Lewisham High Street, SE13 6LJ) to talk about the Trust's plans on this.
An afternoon meeting, which is not ideal for those in work, but the group, although started off by pensioners, is specifically open to those of any age. And if people would like to go on our e-mailing list to receive updates and information on local and nationwide health issues in these very interesting times just e-mail me at work: l[that's an "L" for Lewisham rather than numal one]pforum - at - btconnect.com

It was a great Fathers' Day!
To celebrate their dads, some of our favorite stars took to social media with special messages and oh-so-cute pics, and our hearts just can't take all the love!
From Hayden Summerall to Ruby Rose Turner and everyone in between: these grateful kids had nothing but sweet words to say. Keep scrolling to check 'em all out!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD. Thank you for being the guy that believed in me being able to do what I love wayy before anyone else did. I literally wouldn't be here if it weren't for you always making things happen for me and pushing me to go for it. And thank you for raising me in a way to always remind me of what's most important and what we are really here for in light of anything that comes our way. We're so blessed as a family, but I'm really blessed personally to just have you as a dad. Love you so much and I hope you have a good day, really wish we could be together today. See you soon ❤
Happy Father's Day Dad!!! Big man Paul killing the game or something… wait let me start that again. That was horrible. Thank you dad for being our Dad and birthing us and stuff (well, you didn't personally birth us but, you get it) anyway, people always say that being pregnant is one of the hardest things in the world and that the men have it easy, but for our dad that wasn't true, because he had to deal with our Mum for 9 months I'm surprised he's still alive after that to be honest! Anyway, thanks for being our Dad. And… stuff. Yeah. Love you dad
Happy Father's Day Dad. I think of you as more of a best friend than just a Dad. I am so thankful for your constant support in anything that I have decided to do in my life so far. Growing up you never missed a single sports game of ours and to this day have never missed a single weekly video and that means a lot to me 🙂 You have always inspired me with your kind, caring, and hard working nature without even realizing it and in the past few years your positive attitude has taught me things that will change my life forever. When you were diagnosed with cancer I was scared, but your positivity and strength gave me hope and taught me a new way of positively thinking. Even through the unpromising test results that you received you never stopped projecting an energy that gave me light and lifted me up. I am so happy to see how far you have come and how strong you've stayed through that unfortunate time in your life. I truly believe that your amazing mindset and attitude is a big reason in why you are becoming more and more healthy each day . You are going to be cancer free one day because of that reason Dad. ♥ Thank you for everything and by everything I TRULY mean everything 🙂
happy father's day dad! ❤you are such an inspiration to me! thank you for being so supportive of me and for always teaching me to be a better person. from performing in walmarts to performing at radio city music hall, our memories together will last forever! i love you so much and would do anything for you❤ @swknoche
happy fathers day to my #1 supporter! (mom is #1 as well dad don't get ahead of yourself.) thank you for being my coach in life. you've taught me so much and i've learned everything from you. from softball to performing you've always been there for me. there's never a time you're not there being my supporter as well as my protector. you make me feel like anything is possible with hard work, confidence, and some determination. which means one day i'll beat you in dodgeball… tehe love you dad ❤
Happy Baba's Day @afshinashahidi ✨ Thank you for all of the daily lessons: from teaching me how to direct and hone my creative vision, to exemplifying the importance of compassion. You nourish everyone around you -both literally and figuratively- with the bangin food you make and your commitment to go above and beyond to provide all that you can for your fam ❣ Love you Baba
Today is debatably the most important holiday to me. My dad is my everything. He's raised me as a single parent since I was born. He's been there for me every day, hour, minute, and second of my life. I don't think there's a person I butt heads with more than my dad. There's not a person I say things I don't mean more than my dad. But, no matter what, I love him more than anyone on this earth. He's given me love that no one could touch. He's endured and suffered in more ways than most can imagine, but he still will flash that smile. I think kids often forget to appreciate what their parents do, and I'm guilty of it all too frequently. But, I have never appreciated the love and dedication more than I do today. It's your day poppa, and I love you more than anything. You truly are the #1 Dad. I will fight anyone who says otherwise 😉 Happy Father's Day poppa lou @loupresley ❤❤
Wishing his dad a happy Fathers' Day isn't the only thing Hayden's been up to! Have you seen this first look at "Chicken Girls: The Movie" premiering June 29th?

I'm an army vet. I served five tours. I don't want to go into detail but I've got PTSD due to several things. Unfortunately, the last time I was in a dental chair we were attacked. I've got a pretty bad toothache and my face is swelling up a bit. I know I need a dentist but I'm worried about how I'll respond in the chair. Also, I'm not sure if any of my PTSD meds will interfere with treatment.
Cory N.
Dear Cory,
I want to thank you for all the sacrifices you've made to keep your country safe. I know you're still sacrificing too, so please know it doesn't go unappreciated. I understand your concern about the dental chair. Even patients who haven't been through what you have struggle in the dental chair.
Given your situation, I'd recommend dental sedation. This will completely relax you in the dental chair and won't interfere with your PTSD medication, though it is important to tell whichever dentist you go to all the medication you're on. That way if the sedation meds they use could interfere, they'd be sure to use a different one for you.
Avoiding Dental Emergencies Using Dental Sedation
With your face starting to swell, it likely means you have a dental infection. Don't put this off. In fact, if you don't have a dentist call an emergency dentist and ask if they do oral conscious sedation. What you don't want is for this infection to spread to your brain or heart, both of which are close to your jaw. It will become life-threatening very quickly.
One thing to be aware of is this medicine is strong. While you can stay awake if you want to, most patients sleep through the procedure. Because of its strength, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. You'll be a little loopy.
This blog is brought to you by Dr. David Potts.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, background checks and safe environment trainings have been put on hold. Because of this, we are unable to accept new volunteers at this time. We are able to accept volunteers that have already completed these items with us or the Archdiocese previously. At this time, it is unknown when these will resume. We will update as soon as we know.
Share Your Time
Thank you for considering volunteering with Catholic Charities of Louisville.
Volunteers are essential in our efforts to help the neediest and most vulnerable among us. As part of that mission, we call on others of good will to accompany us on our journey to provide help and create hope. There are many ways you can give your time and share your talent with Catholic Charities. All are welcome! If you are interested in or have any questions about volunteering, please contact Kristi Mattingly by email or by phone, (502) 637-9786 x. 316.
Volunteer Application
Catholic Charities has a variety of volunteer opportunities. Fill out a volunteer application to get started.
Host a Donation Drive
Can't make the commute to volunteer in our offices? You can do it from home, at your school, your church, or anywhere by hosting a drive for one or more of our programs. We are always in in need of items for those that we serve. Click here to learn more.
Volunteer Opportunities
Catholic Charities offers an array of services, meaning we have a variety of volunteer opportunities — from organizing material donations on site to mentoring clients one-on-one. See below to learn about the volunteer needs of specific programs.
Community Garden Partner: Community Garden Partners will assist refugee, immigrant and low-income gardeners at their plots by being at regularly scheduled workdays during the season. Commitment can range from once a week to once a month during part or all of the growing season (March-November).
Garden Construction Volunteer: Volunteers are needed to help build garden signs, message boards, compost bins, water catchment systems, tool sheds and more. If you would like to share your construction skills, we would love to work with you to complete these projects and make it easier for gardeners to grow food for their families and our community.
Garden Volunteer Groups: Volunteer groups are needed to help with big workdays in the spring, summer and fall. Work may include weeding, mulching paths, turning compost, mowing, weed eating, planting, maintaining common areas, picking up trash, and assisting with community events (signing people in, serving food, taking pictures). Workdays last from two to four hours.
Table of Plenty: Volunteers are needed once a month to help prepare and serve the community meal at 2220 W. Market St. Shifts to work are available the Tuesday before and the last Wednesday of each month.
Culinary Kitchen: Volunteers are needed to prepare food for catering events and lunch service Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm.
Mother Infant-Care Program: We are looking for volunteers who can spend two hours helping staff members babysit infants to 6-year-olds on Tuesday or Thursday mornings 10:00 a.m. to noon. Flexibility, ability to lift up to 35 lbs., a big sense of humor, awareness of other cultures, and a love for little ones are necessary.
Legal/Administrative Assistant: Under staff supervision, draft and send file-closure letters to clients, prepare files for closing (scan contents, transfer electronic copies to server, place paper files in file retrieval area). Enter information into internet-based legal case management database. Copy and prepare application packets for mailing. Minimum 10 hours, two days a week. Volunteer will not work directly with clients.
Friendly Visitor: These volunteers provide simple companionship or social activity to residents to enhance their overall quality of life. Friendly visitors are not responsible for investigating or attempting to resolve complaints. However, the volunteer will refer any concerns to the ombudsman's office.
Certified Volunteer Ombudsman: The CVO will connect with residents and their loved ones to advocate on behalf of residents to improve overall care. The ombudsman is instrumental in working to educate residents, families, friends or potential consumers about their rights and responsibilities in a long-term care facility.
Kentucky Welcome Sponsorship Program: MRS is always looking for parishes, mosques, synagogues and community groups to sponsor families arriving to Louisville. Sponsors commit to the following:
- Set up the apartment of an incoming refugee family
- Purchase groceries for family before arrival (if needed)
- Welcome the family at the airport
- Provide transportation to family members
- Become a mentor to the family for three months
Family Learning Center: Holy Cross High School hosts this class for refugee clients Monday-Thursday 5:30-7:30 p.m. Volunteers are needed at least once a week to:
- Tutor adult students in English
- Provide homework assistance to school-aged children
- Assist with daycare
New Horizons Mentoring Program: This program provides an opportunity for cultural exchange and personal growth for both the mentor and the mentee. As a mentor to a refugee child between the ages of 9-17, you will be trained to be a positive role model and encourage academic achievement. The program is a one-year commitment with once-a-week interactions with the child for two hours. You must be 21 years old.
Daycare Assistant: The baby/toddler room is dedicated to providing daycare for mothers who are participating in our employment-focused ESL classes. Volunteers are responsible for assisting the lead daycare teachers with tasks of the day. Monday-Friday 9:30 a.m.-12:30.p.m.
ESL Tutor: Volunteers are needed to meet with an ESL learner during class time from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. one day a week Monday-Friday. Volunteers will be paired individually or in small groups with adult students to practice basic reading, writing and job skills.
Donations Organizer: Dedicated volunteers come in biweekly or monthly for a couple of hours to help sort and organize donations used for refugee resettlement. This job is more independent as the volunteers are able to decide how best to organize donations. Monday-Friday during the day and some weekend opportunities.
Family Mentor: Mentors 18+ are paired with a family that typically needs more care and attention due to particular barriers. Volunteers help with English assistance and cultural adjustment. Commitment of two hours a week for three months is required.
Elderly Program: In conjunction with Kentucky Refugee Ministries, the elderly program meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at Highland United Methodist Church located at 1140 Cherokee Road. Volunteers are needed to help tutor students one on one in their English and citizenship classes and to help with set-up, tear-down and snack time. Committed weekly volunteers are preferred, but this can be a great group event as well.
Elderly Mentor: Volunteers are needed to serve as mentors to elderly refugees. Volunteers commit to at least two hours a week for three months, helping clients acclimate to their new home through ESL sessions and taking clients to activities around the city. Regular visits to the library, bank, grocery store and park are great ways to teach clients English and how to navigate the city.
Special Events: Volunteers are needed to help plan MRS's annual events such as World Refugee Day and Thanksgiving and holiday celebrations. Volunteers can work on securing food donations, delivering food, set-up/take-down, and publicity/advertising.
Super Saturdays: Volunteers pick up students from their homes and take them on a college tour. One Saturday a month 9 a.m.-2 p.m. You can choose to just provide transportation to the refugee student as well.
Summer Youth Program: Volunteer assistants will help JCPS ESL teachers in our elementary and middle/high school classroom, take students on field trips, supervise snack and break time, and help set up on Monday mornings and clean up on Friday afternoons. Volunteers must be able to commit to one morning a week for five or six weeks from June-August.

Improving Profitability No Matter What Rates Do: Living Process Improvement

Edward Lear did not invent the limerick, a form that has been traced back to England in the early eighteenth century, and limerick was not the word he used (the term not being documented until the 1890s). Lear called them nonsenses, but he did fashion them into a literary form that made them famous.
There was a Young Person of Smyrna,
Whose grandmother threatened to burn her;
But she seized the cat, and said 'Granny burn that
You incongruous old woman of Smyrna'
There was a Old Man of Peru,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he tore off his hair, and behaved like a bear,
That intrinsic Old Man of Peru. Continue reading

Sitting awkwardly between the Duluth Arena and the Radisson Hotel in this photo by Perry Gallagher is a seven-story building that can't be far from demolition. What was it?
Denfeld High School's Maroon 16 choir sings "I Want to Know What Love Is" with Foreigner at Symphony Hall in the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.
The World Wrestling Federation — now known as World Wrestling Entertainment — brought four cards to the Duluth Arena in 1987. The fourth happened 30 years ago today — Dec. 27.
Television advertisement for a concert at the Duluth Arena held 25 years ago today — Dec. 9, 1992 — featuring Damn Yankees, Slaughter and Jackyl.
Tommy Shaw, formerly of Damn Yankees, will return to Duluth on March 13 for a concert with Styx.
Oh, the profanity! Mötley Crüe got Duluth-area principals' undies in a bunch back in 1985. Attempts to ban the Los Angeles-based glam metal band went nowhere. Mötley Crüe returned to Duluth for two more concerts, one in 1990 and another in 1998.
The Duluth News Tribune reports Dan Russell will retire Aug. 31 after 27 years as executive director of the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center, which includes Amsoil Arena, the City Side Convention Center, the Harborside Convention Center, a movie theater complex and two parking ramps. The DECC also manages Bayfront Festival Park and operates the retired William A. Irvin ship as a floating attraction.
"I've had the pleasure of working for 27 years at a place that makes people smile, because they're coming here for concerts, sporting events, boat shows and all kinds of other fun events," Russell said in a news release issued today. "It's also where I get to interact with 500 great employees who work very hard to make everything the DECC does look easy. It's been an honor to work here."
Adult contemporary music stars John Mellencamp and James Taylor will perform separate concerts at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center this spring. The DECC announced today Mellencamp will perform in Symphony Hall on April 7, with tickets going on sale on Friday, Jan. 29, at 10 a.m. via mellencamp.com and axs.com. Ticket prices range from $39.50 to $115. The opening act will be Carlene Carter, daughter of country music legends June Carter and Carl Smith, and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash.
James Taylor and his All-Star Band will perform on June 1 in Amsoil Arena. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 5, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. Ticket prices range from $65 to $85.
This post originally contained an hour and a half of grainy video of Megadeth in Duluth, shot by Ronaldo Rodrigues Paravani. At some point the video was removed from YouTube.
On March 9, 1994, the Moody Blues played the DECC Arena with the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra. The front end of this video is an interview conducted by Barbara Reyelts for KBJR-TV; the piece concludes with some concert footage. (The interview clip was posted on PDD a few years ago, but had since been removed from YouTube.)

On the agenda for next week's Duluth City Council meeting is a resolution requesting the state legislature "amend state gambling laws to provide for the operation of a for-profit casino at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center or other location within Duluth." (Update: Councilor Howie Hanson has told the Duluth News Tribune his proposal will likely be tabled and later taken up at a committee-of-the-whole meeting.)
Here's the document text:

Resolution requesting the state legislature amend state gambling laws to provide for the operation of a for-profit casino at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.
This post originally featured nearly an hour's worth of amateur video from Nov. 25, 1998, when Mötley Crüe played the DECC Auditorium on its Greatest Hits Tour. Unfortunately, the video has been removed from YouTube.
Local metal band Nobody opened the concert. It was the Crüe's third performance in Duluth — the band played a sold-out Duluth Arena show in 1985, before the DECC was the DECC, and returned in 1990 to play for over 8,000. By 1998, things were on the downswing for the band. Tommy Lee had been out of jail for two months when this show came to town. His sex tape with Pamela Anderson hit the Internet about a year earlier.
Bad Company played Grand Casino Hinckley last night with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. Twenty-two years ago, Bad Company toured with Damn Yankees and played the DECC Arena.
The memorable part of the show was that the news came out during the concert that the Gulf War had ended. Ted Nugent celebrated by shooting a cutout of Saddam Hussein with his crossbow. (This seemed spontaneous, but it was actually something he was doing throughout the tour, because he's Ted Nugent and that's what he does.)
This feature is an ongoing attempt to list all the major concerts at the DECC Arena and Symphony Hall from 1966 to 2010, which of course includes the era when they were known as the Duluth Arena and Duluth Auditorium.

Oyoun OrghoshBookmark this
Situated on the eastern side of Qornet es-Sawda and only 25 kilometers away from The Cedars, this beautiful area surrounded by rough mountain hills is full of ponds and springs (oyoun). The ponds accumulate the water of the springs emerging from the foot of the steep hill, which are fed by snowmelt percolating from the summits of Jabal al-Mekmel and Qornet es-Sawda. In spring and summer, the numerous tented restaurants offer fresh fish (mainly trout) and mezze. Oyoun Orghosh is easily reached from Bcharre and The Cedars and is clearly signposted from there.
For hiking in 3youn orghosh area, you can join a trip organised by one of the local travel organizations.
Adventures in Lebanon sporadically organises ATV/Quad trips from Faraya to Oyoun Orghosh.

Special Issue of "The Poster:" the visual rhetorics of command and control (Oct 2011)
September 3, 2011 Leave a comment
Deadline for submissions: 14 Oct 2011
Website: www.tinyurl.com/theposterjournal
This call's theme:
Visual rhetorics are by definition in the business of persuasion: in both private and public spheres, such rhetorics attempt to change the behaviours of both individuals and groups. From the "Stop" sign at the end of our street, through the visual and verbal warnings on packs of cigarettes, to the recruitment posters of our armed forces, common sense instruction blends into health-expert authority insistence and then into state invitations to die for one's country. In this first special issue of The Poster, we invite contributions on the many and different ways in which visual rhetoric intends and is used to inform, instruct, persuade and control our lives.
The Poster asks:
• Are all visual communications artefacts, at their core, attempts to control others?
• Are some media forms and technologies more effective agencies for control than others?
• Is it possible to have a rhetorically neutral communication?
• Are there visual forms that indicate a form of visual persuasion as opposed to an honest source of information: or is the distinction impossible to make?
• Who uses visual rhetoric in this way?
• How may visual rhetoric be resisted?
• Can we determine where and how informing turns into instruction and where instruction turns into compulsion?
• From the point of view of authorship how the control is communicated to the public sphere? What are their "tools"
• How does visual persuasion address ethical and moral issues?
Call focus
The work of artists, designers and other visual practitioners is very important to The Poster. In this spirit we are keen to receive visual contributions from working designers whose practice addresses the mechanics of visual control. Visual contributions can be submitted as either peer or non-peer reviewed work (see below for submission information) We are also seeking papers and articles: research, critical, philosophical and theoretical papers on the call theme. All papers will be subject to a rigorous blind peer review process before publication. The journal supports the active exchange of views and encourages contributors to present strong stances if their research supports them. We also call for reviews of books, exhibitions, mass media and examples of visual rhetorics where they are thematically relevant and are likely to engage the reader's interests.
Submission details
First draughts of papers should be in for the 14th of October, 2011.
Submissions may be made either through the journal's homepage at the Intellect Book's website: www.tinyurl.com/theposterjournal or to email@example.com
Papers – Papers should, in the first instance, be provided as MS Word (.doc or .docx), Open Document Text (.odt) or Rich Text Format (.RTF) files with low-resolution images (72dpi) included in the text at the intended positions in the text. Both colour and greyscale images are welcome. Please help us out by using the Heading 1 (H1, H2, H3) and Text Body styles as this, and the indication of position of the images, helps us enormously in the editing and production of the final document. Papers should be between 5000 and 8000 words long. Once a paper is accepted we'll ask for the full resolution images.
Visual/Practice contributions – The contributions may be on any subject relevant to the theme but should demonstrate an explicable intent. They should be presented, in the first instance, as low-resolution .jpg or .png files (72 dpi), numbered or otherwise ordered in the way they will be read (if ambiguity is the intent please help us out by sending us a visual that explains their intended organisation). Please include (as either metadata or on an accompanying list) details of copyright, authorship and ownership.
Reviews should be between 1000 and 2000 word long and if they carry images or excerpts of the reviewed material should be copyright cleared with the author or the owners of the intellectual copyright. Contributions will be reviewed by a double-blind referee process.

Experienced a slight upturn in the game of
poker the early 70s, as the World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel
and Casino started. Until then, poker was still considered a game of luck.
Only when the first professional player was always won at the SWOOP well
known that even in poker strategy and mathematics play an important role.
Poker experienced a real boom in 2003, as an amateur player won the World
Series of Poker. Since poker is becoming more popular.
Participants in the tournaments are constantly rising and no end in sight. Especially the online poker is becoming more popular. More and more people play poker just for fun on the internet. By the large-scale advertising scenario campaign meanwhile million players frolicking in the premises of online casinos .
As we know, recently in Italy and other countries, the game of poker outside of restricted areas such as casinos became legal, and also the online game is accessible over the casinos and other local events organized legally.
But because you have not thought of it before, Why did it take so long to decide, and even today there are still restrictions in Italy compared to other countries. The question is very simple: poker has always been seen as mainly just a game of chance, and in recent years has tried to prove the opposite.
Trying to spread the idea that poker is primarily a game of skill and not a gambling, but it can still become according to the subject, as well as can become addicted to alcohol or cigarettes or scratch cards, and so on.

The Idea of Military
The whole idea of the military strikes me as completely absurd. What sense does it make to go off somewhere thousands of miles away to a scorching desert, to kill a lot of people who have never done anything to me, when I can sit in the air-conditioned comfort of my own home and take out a few people who really matter?

From street vendors to asylum seekers, nearly 500 men and women gathered in Cardiff on Saturday to kick off the 17th Football Homeless World Cup, in a bid to tackle social exclusion and offer a respite from rough sleeping.
The week-long tournament, which has garnered support from European soccer body UEFA and global professional players' union FIFpro, will see players from 48 countries compete in hundreds of games to crowds of nearly 100,000 people.
Organisers said they hoped to shift public perceptions of homelessness and that support for players included job training, housing support and health services.
'I've seen how people get a bit of hope and a bit of confidence through getting involved with football,' Hollywood star and event ambassador Michael Sheen told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
'Having some of the most marginalised and excluded people in our community representing us ... changes people,' said the Welsh actor, famous for his roles in the 'Twilight Saga' and Oscar nominated film 'Frost/Nixon'.
Getting an accurate picture of global homelessness is challenging as definitions vary from country to country, with many 'hidden homeless' who sofa surf, use temporary housing or sleep on transport.
Global housing body Habitat for Humanity estimates about1.6 billion people lack adequate accommodation or live in substandard housing.
Wilm Lubbersen, a 58-year-old man who became homeless after losing his job and is now goalkeeper for the Dutch team, said the competition had helped him meet people, gain discipline and battle substance abuse.
'It's about closing the past and starting a new life,' he said on the side lines of a match.
Teams are selected by national football initiatives and homelessness charities, which pay for flights to the host city, while tournament organisers cover the players' accommodation, food and travel costs during the event.
The opening match was won by Denmark against Wales after a tense penalty shootout on Saturday, and followed a jubilant parade of players and coaches through the Welsh capital.
Jon Sparkes, head of homelessness charity Crisis, said such sporting events were crucial 'as they provide people with vital opportunities to reconnect and come together as a team & ndash; all the while boosting their skills and sense of empowerment'.
For 22-year-old Mujahed, a refugee who fled ongoing civil war in Yemen and undertook a perilous boat crossing on the Mediterranean, football is a path towards social integration.
'Football takes you away from your bad situation ... I have now a lot of friends and a lot of people who care about me and I care about them because we're all footballers.'

Psychz Port 25 Block?
Hi guys,
Just provisioned my 3rd dedicated box with Psychz. Been super happy with them. On this 3rd server, however, port 25 outbound will not work. It's a cPanel server with CentOS 7.
Have had 3 cPanel techs. look at it, plus a 3rd party admin just to verify I'm not going insane, and all are saying it is being blocked at the network level. However, the techs. are saying they only block SMTP at the router, and there is nothing on the router blocking port 25 for my server. They swear up and down that it is happening at the server level, even though 5 of us can't find anything to indicate that.
I can telnet into the server on IPv4 Port 25, but a telnet outbound times out. I can telnet in and out on IPv6. Nothing in iptables. In fact, disabled iptables and firewalld with same results. This does not happen on the other 2 servers at all, which are are provisioned basically exactly the same as this one. This one is even in the same DC location as another I have with them.
I have escalated it to their management, but have not heard back yet. I'm not surprised or disappointed. It's the weekend. I'm really not expecting a reply until Monday.
Are there any other tests I can do in the meantime? Anything else I can do to show that it is not happening at the server level? Has anybody else had this happen with their servers at Psychz?
Thanks in advance!!

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a ...........
"Mercedes Benz" ................ Janis Joplin :-) .............
If you're an average Joe this means precarious balancing acts on ladders as you haphazardly string lights, trips to Xmas tree lots fighting off suburban housewives to get the best blue spruce and four-latte sojourns to the mall where the manic, jostling crowds leave you quietly sobbing in the parking lot as your boxed-in car remains immobile.
Now, if you're an audiophile you may still have to endure some, or all of this holiday melee, but to help make it all a little more bearable I've complied some really cool gift ideas that you could get for the audiophile on your list, or let your significant other know that these are some ideas for gifts that you – the audiophile – are jazzed about.
So without further delay, here are some Holiday gift ideas from my overtaxed mind to you. They range in price from $10 USD to a maximum of $500 USD. I hope they offer inspiration and bring a smile to your face, or better yet, slot-in perfectly to what you were thinking of for the audiophile in your life but couldn't quite put your finger on.
The Vinyl Detective ($6.85 USD) book series is one I'm an unashamed fan of, I own all three and can't wait for the fourth instalment. From the web: "He is a record collector — a connoisseur of vinyl, hunting out rare and elusive LPs. His business card describes him as the "Vinyl Detective" and some people take this more literally than others. Like the beautiful, mysterious woman who wants to pay him a large sum of money to find a priceless lost recording — on behalf of an extremely wealthy (and rather sinister) shadowy client.Given that he's just about to run out of cat biscuits, this gets our hero's full attention. So begins a painful and dangerous odyssey in search of the rarest jazz record of them all…" Buy it HERE.
Sticking to an analog theme, I can't recommend the Little Fwend ($249 USD) automatic tonearm lifter highly enough. If you have a vinyl nut in your midst, get them this and watch the savage beast be soothed. Buy it HERE.
Uncompromising Expression ($53.60 USD) is for me the definitive jazz album cover coffee book of record. You'll be hard-pressed to put it down and often ponder ripping pages out to frame. From the web: "Featuring classic album artwork, unseen contact sheets, rare ephemera from the Blue Note Archives, commentary from some of the biggest names in jazz today, and feature reviews of seventy-five key albums, this is the definitive book on the legendary label." But it HERE.
Hearing is believing and all it took for me to hear a difference was $49 USD. I'm talking of course of the PS Audio Power Port Classic. A Duplex-designed hospital-grade outlet with nickel coating and copper contacts, it's a no-brainer among no-brainers as a stocking stuffer of legend for the audiophile in your life. Buy it HERE.
Tubes. If the audiophile on your list like amps – of any brand or price point – than 300B tubes may be on their list of most-wanted items for rolling (not what it sounds like). These Chinese made 300Bs retail for around $120 USD- $200 USD for a matched quad and in my experience sound far better than they have any right to, especially when many 300Bs are gong for $350 USD and waaaaaay up for a single tube. Buy it HERE.
Got pretty wooden floors? Got big speakers on stands? Don't like the hideous gouge marks that spiked speaker stands claw into your pretty floors when you try and move them about for optimal placement? Then you need Linn Skeets ($70 USD). The UK built and designed spike floor protectors are built like pucks of unobtanium and weigh a ton. I'll never use anything else when I can't spike directly into a floor. They come in packs of eight. Buy them HERE.
Compact all-in-one hi-fi units can be pricy propositions, not so with the Yoyo by Cambridge Audio ($399 USD). This six-speaker unit clad in treated acoustic wool and featuring Wi-fi, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, Google Chromecast, HDMI, ARC, AUX, SPDIF and optical inputs not can connect to pretty much anything in your home, it sounds fantastic. I've been trying to keep it in the kitchen, but my son constantly steals it back to his room where the bass is prodigious enough for me to feel as I walk down the hall to retrieve it. Buy it HERE.
Cables for audiophiles are always a treat and the new Tellurium Black II come in under $350 for a 2.5m pair with current exchange rates on the British Pound. I use them in my system and am deeply impressed at their transparency. They also come in a small box which makes them quite the gift to find stuffed in a Christmas stocking. Buy them HERE.
Dressing the audiophile in your life probably isn't easy, so Phonica Records in the UK has some pretty cool sweatshirts to help your music geek look hip ($40 USD). Buy them HERE.
Conversely, if it's that vintage-T look they're craving, Turntable Lab has some choice t-shirts ($20 USD) available to keep things hip and simple. Buy them HERE.
Does your audiophile want to get into streaming music but doesn't want to pony up for a cloud-based subscription service? Luckily Tidal makes it easy with several tiers of membership (from $9.99 USD) to get you up and running with nothing more than your PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Check out subscriptions HERE.
If the vinyl addict in your home is always hitting record shops and coming home with those environmentally-unfriendly plastic bags, then look no further for an eco-friendly alternative than in this hip record bag from Barnes & Noble ($20 USD). Buy it HERE.
Got some bookshelf speakers that you want off the bookshelf to make way for all the cool new books you got for the Holidays? Look no further than Turntable Lab out of New York for these simple, but funky Line Phono stands (from $298 USD/pair) that come in a variety of colours and finishes to suit your hip, modern, urban decor. Buy them HERE.
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a ...........

Thanks for the gift ideas.

Whether you are looking for accommodation (tip for hotels in Dubai) or you are planning trips, it is good to know a little bit, where everything in Dubai is. Once you will now this, you will avoid travelling from one end of Dubai to the other.
Downtown Dubai
Probably the most famous district of Dubai – Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain, etc.
Jumeirah is famous for its beaches and hotels and some nice buildings around the beaches. You will find several beautiful beaches, you can walk to the Dubai Marina and go from the beginning of Jumeirah Beach to Kait Beach, you can see Burj al Arab. It is possible to walk at least 7 kilometers along the beaches.
Dubai Marina
The most modern part of Dubai. You can ride here directly by marina or ride a cruise ship. In the evening, everything shines and has its charm to sit here and watch yachts, shining skyscrapers.
Bur Dubai
Historic Dubai – West Side of Dubai Creek. The Dubai Creek bay separates Bur Dubai from Deira. There is, for example, Zabeel Park or Goldsouk, through which you can visit the Deira part. Between Deira and Bur Dubai are the favorite Abra boats, for 1 AED you can get to the other bank.
I have described Deira several times here. For me, that's the other face of Dubai. There are marketplaces, shops and restaurants full of people from different corners of the world. In the evening it has its own atmosphere. In some parts of Deira, you can find the opposite part of the luxurious districts of Dubai. For example, people are repairing shoes on the street, selling cheap food, grilling chickens on the streets…
Al Satwa
The part of Dubai where predominate people from India, the Philippines and Bangladesh. They have here a lot of shops and restaurants.
Al Karama
The district where you will find cheaper restaurants, otherwise it is mainly a residential area.
A newer district with an artificial forest in the desert. There is, for example, the City Center Mirdiff shopping center or Abaya Mall, where you can find Arabic fashion shops.
International City
Not very interesting neighborhood full of Chinese.
Jebel Ali
This district has built a second artificial palm island.
Emirates Hills a Arabian Ranches
Luxury neighborhood in Dubai, expensive living, golf club.
If you are planning a holiday, I recommend you to look at 2 places in Dubai
If you want to be right by the sea and close to the main center, hotels on Jumeirah beach are a great choice. You can choose from cheaper hotels and enjoy evenings in the streets full of blinking shops, hotels in Deira are a good choice. Overall, Deira is a cheaper neighborhood, whether I appreciate restaurants, hotels or shops. If you are near the metro, you will be in close distance to the main metro.
By the way, here you can find a tip for affordable and good hotels in Dubai.
If you want to see Dubai, I would definitely recommend you to go through Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, where you can also take the metro or taxi. Then Dubai Marina, from where you can easily walk to Jumeirah Beach and then go to Burj al Arab. Then you can refresh yourself and head out to Deira, go through the Gold Souk, ride the Abra boat. I gave you that tip for one day, where you can see the modern part of Dubai, the old part of Dubai, ride through the Dubai Creek and see a market with gold, sea and nice beaches.

Leading personal injury and medical negligence solicitors
Spinal injury from road traffic accident
Recovering compensation for spinal injuries as a result of an RTA
At Boyes Turner we specialise in recovering compensation for victims that have sustained a traumatic back injury from road traffic accidents. Our dedicated knowledge means that we understand more than others how important clear and simple advice and assistance is following a spinal injury. Working with the injured person and their family to help them rebuild their lives is our priority.
A spinal injury tends to have a serious impact on individuals and their families and the chances of a total recovery are usually slim. With some degree of paralysis which can have a severe impact on quality of life.
During a road traffic accident a person's body can sustain a sudden blow to the back causing a fracture or dislocation of vertebrae. Serious damage begins when spinal cord tissues are either bruised or torn by disjointed vertebrae fragments. This can happen whether the inured party was a driver, passenger or pedestrian.
Types of spinal injuries
Spinal injuries range from slipped discs to permanent nerve damage which can potentially result in paralysis. If the spinal cord is damaged as a result of a road traffic accident it can result in:
- Loss of or reduced sensation in limbs
- Loss of or reduced movement in limbs
- Loss of or reduced control in bowel and/or bladder function
- Reflexive actions or spasms which are out of the patients control
- Changes to sexual sensitivity, function and potentially fertility
- Painful or intense sensations
Medical professionals gauge the level of injury on the spinal cord and this measurement is vital in assessing which parts of the body may be affected by loss of function or paralysis. The levels equate to groups of nerves along the spine which are divided in four areas: Sacral, Lumbar, Thoracic and Cervical.
Depending on the severity of the injury caused by a road traffic accident some people can return to close to their previous lives however most suffer from long lasting, if not permanent, damage and therefore have to adapt to a new way of living.
We understand that there are ongoing requirements following a spinal injury. Early rehabilitation, adaptations and specialist equipment are vital to helping our clients to achieve a good quality of life following a road traffic accident. As members of the SIA we have links with those providing spinal cord injury rehabilitation and spinal injury support to help our clients in their recovery.
If you or a member of your family has sustained a traumatic spinal injury as a result of a road traffic accident then contact the team for a quick, no obligation discussion about whether you can make a claim.
I really appreciated the friendly, efficient and supportive nature of the solicitor.
I would also like to express my thanks to you for your dedication in chasing the defendant's insurance company especially where COVID-19 made an impact.

Dumb charades
This is a game I never knew of before my PU. But in PU(SYJC) along with A,K,V,A we started playing this in the PG(patli galli) after college or when we bunked the college. I was clearly an underdog there in terms of the signs or the awareness of film names. As a sidenote I am average in any game I play in terms of talent, but I make it up in terms of intelligence and quick learning. For example, in case of this game, though the knowledge (awareness) of film names were not that much I made some intelligent guesses. We used to play the game so much that after a certain point of time we ran out of all names and we almost predicted the way the other person would enact given a particular name.
Then, during the North India tour and during other encounters which happened quite frequently over few years, I enjoyed (introducing and) playing this with my brother and cousins -A,M. During the above, it was mostly English and Hindi film names, but with my brother and cousins it was Kannada or Hindi names. By coincidence or otherwise(rigging), I and M turned out to be the partners everytime. We hit off to be a great pair in terms of understanding. Though we were strong we got stiff competation everytime and A and my brother managed some gem of unimaginable acting coupled with great humour to level the scores. I and M were sort of so unmistakably familiar with eath others actions that the fun part slowly faded out but their acting kept up the spirits and joy. The game used to go out of sync if anyone else joined us.
Despite this rich experiences, when I saw college level competations, I figured, in comparision, my game was gully cricket as compared to international one dayers. But I was good enough to pull out surprises in informal gatherings like college picnics and was completely noticed during Goa tour. But again, I could only rely on abilities of acting and imagination rather than the awareness of the names.
That fear always kept me away from competation (of any level), and thus I shied away from the office competation too.
On Diwali eve, this game was held and 10 groups participated. I just remained a spectator. 4 rounds (Film names, Books-Authors, Idioms/Phrases, A mixture of all) were conducted.
I should say I was familiar with 8 out of 10 names! When passed to audience I could grab two prizes for guessing these:
1) Child is the father of man.
I didn't phrase this exactly but I was close to it.
2) The chain is as strong as its weakest link.
Well, the credit for this goes to KVN Sir who had mentioned this during analog communications class.
What helped me in knowing many answers are:
Of late I frequent to book shops (even though I do not read as much), I am aware of quite a few authors and books' names. Secondly, the GM quotes have helped me much.
I felt very bad for myself that I did not participate in the competation, but was happy that remaining in the audience itself I had won 2 boxes of crackers/sparklers.

There are some travel experiences in this world so wholesomely wonderful that I can't help but gush about them like a love-crazed teenager. My friends, a llama walk is one such experience.
I know what you're thinking: a llama walk? Has Christina been day drinking again?
Well the answer is yes (but that's not the point). You see, a llama walk is exactly what it sounds like and it's the greatest. You get to walk. With a llama. And it is simply THE purest form of joy. Here's lil old me with my llama, Milan.
How to Go on a Llama Walk
Okay, before you assume I just hopped some fence and stole a llama to walk, know this: llama walks are actually organized experiences. Many ranches around the world now offer them as a fun little thing you can do (in exchange for a fee of course). I'm going to be sharing my experience with Bayern Lamas in Germany (about an hour away from Munich), but be sure to try Google and see if there's anything similar in your area! I can't imagine a llama walk would be much different in one country vs. the next, though I will say that these German llamas were exceptionally professional and well-behaved 😉
My Llama Walk Experience
I got to do mine as part of the greatest Christmas gift ever (so just know that this review and love-fest is totally unsponsored).
Luckily for me, there's an awesome llama ranch close to Munich (about an hour's drive away), just outside of Augsburg. Bayern Lamas is a cute little ranch with a roster of 18 mega-professional llamas and definitely one of the most awesome day trips you can do from Munich! I went there with my boyfriend last Sunday and I'm already plotting ways to trick him into doing it again and again.
The experience started out with a fun llama meet and greet. We arrived a few minutes late, but got a handful of carrot slices to feed the llamas while we got acquainted. SO fluffy!
We then waited off to the side as the lovely ranch owner Sonja got the llamas geared up and ready for trekking. Fun fact: only the male llamas come out for walks because the females are apparently too temperamental. Sounds about right.
Then, after a brief safety demo (apparently the llamas all have trigger points you want to avoid, and also the best way to ensure they walk faster is to simply lengthen your stride rather than pulling!), we were given our own llamas – one per pair. What I loved most was that it wasn't simply a "line up and get your llama" type deal. Instead, it seemed like Sonja was assigning based on compatibility (or I assume so anyway, since I loved mine oh so much).
We ended up with cute little Milan, the youngest llama at the ranch – only three years old!
Then came the fun bit…
The walk!
Two by two we led our llamas out of the ranch and walked for an hour or so through a nearby forest and back. The trail wasn't difficult at all, so no need to worry about things being too strenuous 😉 The path was pretty flat throughout the entire walk, and despite its simplicity, the experience was made unforgettable by… you know, the llama we had by our side the entire time.
I might have been giggling throughout the entire duration of the walk.
But guys, I couldn't get over how ridiculously professional these llamas were. Like, they never kicked up a fuss or anything – they just dutifully walked with us like consummate professionals.
As you can imagine, the walk ended far too quickly, and we were forced back to the ranch where we said our goodbyes over cubes of crunchy bread. FYI, feeding a llama is amazingly good fun.
But there were treats for us humans too!! To help us through the sadness of parting ways with our new llama friends, there were fresh cupcakes and coffee for us to to wolf down (all included in the price of the llama walk experience). The cupcakes were delicious, and I might have had more than one… you know, to fill the llama-shaped hole in my heart.
And so, with a camera full of photos and a belly full of treats, it was time to say goodbye to the amazing fun at Bayern Lamas. Trust me, you had to drag me out of there. We were literally the last couple to leave. In fact, we lingered in the parking lot so long, the owners had left before us. Thoughts of bringing Milan home with us did cross my mind, but alas, our small city apartment is no place for a llama to grow up.
Milan, I'll be back for you!
Bayern Lamas Practical Info
Location: Welden Friedhofweg, Welden, BY 86465, just outside of Augsburg, about an hour drive from Munich. On Google Maps, they're "LAMA RANCH"
Cost: 20 euros a person for the experience I had (2hrs, includes walk + refreshments). Click here for a full list of prices and options.
Language: Most of the patrons will probably be German, but Sonja speaks perfect English so you don't have to worry – you'll get all the info you need if you're an English speaker.
Parking: There's a parking lot a 3 minute walk away from the ranch. You'll get directions when you book!
Difficulty: The trail is super flat – more like a walk in the park more than anything else. You don't need a high level of fitness for this – don't worry 😉
What to wear: It had been raining leading up to our walk, so the grounds were super muddy. I wore hiking boots and they were great, even though the trail wasn't difficult! Definitely bring comfy walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather, as the entire experience does take place outdoors.
Facilities: There's a Porta Poddy on site, but it was out of toilet paper when I went. Just an FYI, maybe bring some toilet paper or tissue with you just in case!
If you want to learn more about Bayern Lamas, check out their website! FYI, the entire thing is in German, but the automatic Google translation of everything is the best thing I've read in my life.
I mean, this gem in particular:
And anyone who has once caught the lamavirus will not get rid of it so easily. We hope you enjoy browsing our pages."
Guys, "lamas make addict" indeed… if there truly is a "lamavirus" out there, consider me infected.
So, tell me: would you ever want to do a llama walk? If not, what's wrong with you? Just kidding! Sorta.
