Returned to SaveMe
De som läser Bild.sl vet att Sjöfn där gjorde ett scoop om Kandis nya utställningshall. Apmel har i en vecka tjatat på Kandi om att få uppgifter om när öppningen blir.
Apmel Goosson: så det blir till helgen då?
Kandinsky Beaumont: Antagligen
Apmel Goosson: vilken dag blir det?
Kandinsky Beaumont: Inte klart
Kandinsky Beaumont: Men allt beror såklart på när SaveMe kan
Apmelina Slingshot: when will you have the opening at kandis place?
SaveMe Oh: who?
Apmelina Slingshot: i mean Returned of course *sigh*
SaveMe Oh: how should I know?
Apmelina Slingshot: right..goodnight
SaveMe Oh: pfff

Bilder från Paradiset
Kludden anlände till Paradiset exakt två minuter över åtta.
Kvällens DJ var redan på plats.
Den stolta värdinnan ville visa upp simmen.
När det började skymma startade dansen.
Alla gäster var otroligt vackra.
Ingen nämnd ingen glömd.
Värden tog väl hand om sina gäster långt in på natten.
Tack för festen Blanche och cbreak!

What girls talk about
ush Underwood: random things are absolute fate
ush Underwood: a quantum jump is fate too
Apmelina Slingshot: on a forum today somebody said that every mathematical proof starts with an action of free will
Apmelina Slingshot: he said there is a difference between arbritrary and random
ush Underwood: hm fine differences...
Apmelina Slingshot: proofs starts with something like: for an arbritrary X there is always an Y
Apmelina Slingshot: and to pic an arbritrary X you have to have free will
Apmelina Slingshot: a random X is not good enough, he said
ush Underwood: i could answer .. what about a random R
Apmelina Slingshot: hehe
ush Underwood: okok
Apmelina Slingshot: the thing is i´m thinking about free will a lot these days
Apmelina Slingshot: if you don´t understand free will you can´t understand consciousness
ush Underwood: you cant never be sure...
ush Underwood: (this was now the double NO of the ghetto)
ush Underwood: see.. what says a thermometer ?
Apmelina Slingshot: not much
ush Underwood: well -- it says ALL IS TEMPERATURE .... cause its constructed like that .. got it?
ush Underwood: it cant tell you about other things
Apmelina Slingshot: it is a measurement.. an entanglement with a certain form of motion
ush Underwood: ok
ush Underwood: and a hygrometer says .. all is wet
Apmelina Slingshot: sure..they measure differnet thinhgs..but onbly because WE interpret them to do so
ush Underwood: and scales say .. alll is weight
ush Underwood: ok so far ?
Apmelina Slingshot: for us yes.. not for it self
ush Underwood: well
Apmelina Slingshot: it´s all for us
ush Underwood: some scientists say ,, all is maths
ush Underwood: but
Apmelina Slingshot: I know one:)
ush Underwood: maths are a human invention ,, so we project our human maths feelig all over the rest of universe
ush Underwood: we project the working of our little brain about all ,,,
Apmelina Slingshot: sure..that is the easy way out..but doesn´t explain why math works in physics
ush Underwood: thats a deed of daring hehe
ush Underwood: its working .. cause we see only things .. which are working similar to our brain structure
Apmelina Slingshot: like a thermometer..that is your punch line:)
ush Underwood: mhm
Apmelina Slingshot: but they don´t see anything.. we do the seeing for them
ush Underwood: we dont see more than our measuring devices
ush Underwood: and
Apmelina Slingshot: of course.,.but they are getting better all the time
ush Underwood: we dont know anything what we measure .. we just know .. how some things are working and try to use it
ush Underwood: we dont know WHAT things are
Apmelina Slingshot: we know what it tells us.. what it is for us
Apmelina Slingshot: neither do the things
Apmelina Slingshot: they can´t
Apmelina Slingshot: but in the limit we can
Apmelina Slingshot: Deutsch is right when he says that we will always just be in the beginning of infinity..
Apmelina Slingshot: so we will never know.. but we can.. in the limit
ush Underwood: like a miller .. he didnt know why a creek is flowing down .. so he does his wheel in the water and use it for flowering
Apmelina Slingshot: well.. like all analogies it has a very limited use
ush Underwood: here is deutsch possibly right
Apmelina Slingshot: we are not stuck with a waterwheel for ever..we invent more efficient things
ush Underwood: we did
Apmelina Slingshot: yes
Apmelina Slingshot: and we understand a lot about that creek now
ush Underwood: we are tricky to use it ..
ush Underwood: but we dont know what we are using
ush Underwood: until now we know about gravitation as much as the miller .. NoTHING
Apmelina Slingshot: we know a lot about gravitation.. general relativity theory is not bad.. but we don´t know how to marry it to quantum.. so we don´t know what time is yet
ush Underwood: our talk has disturbed the dance anim
Apmelina Slingshot: I tried to resync it once
ush Underwood: :)
Apmelina Slingshot: not our talk..it will NEVER sync:)
ush Underwood: einstein once said .. WE KNOW THE PARTITURE .. BUT WE DONT HEAR THE MUSIC
Apmelina Slingshot: sure.. that is the difference between rules and what the rules are for
Apmelina Slingshot: that sums up the whole history of philosophical thought.. I realized that some decades ago
ush Underwood: thats a thing !
Apmelina Slingshot: a thing?
ush Underwood: yes you are right with the rules
ush Underwood: that a good analogy
Apmelina Slingshot: I might look blond..
ush Underwood: I think your boobs are outsourced brain .. cause your head is to small
Apmelina Slingshot: haha
ush Underwood: too small for a 3 kilo brain
Apmelina Slingshot: mm..APMEL THINKS WITH APMELINAS BOOBS..what a scoop
ush Underwood: yes .. its worth some respect
ush Underwood: and the outsourcing to apmels 3rd ball..
Apmelina Slingshot: that is a mystery
Apmelina Slingshot: THE THIRD BALL MYSTERY
Apmelina Slingshot: sounds like a good title for a book
ush Underwood: most ppl are just reading titles
Apmelina Slingshot: haha.. most ppl?
ush Underwood: you meet too much intellectuals .. so you think .. all ppl are like them
Apmelina Slingshot: OMG you mean all ppl are not the same?
ush Underwood: i mean totally different and not worth the same respect
Apmelina Slingshot: whatever happend to human rights for all?
ush Underwood: its an artificial construction.. we have to live it,, but its wrong of course
Apmelina Slingshot: hm
Apmelina Slingshot: I think human rights is one of our best inventions.. that probably have been invented in a lot of the other universes too
ush Underwood: yes yes i agree .. but there are many ppl ..
Apmelina Slingshot: sure..but we are only in the beginning of infinity
ush Underwood: but my life is limited
Apmelina Slingshot: are you sure?
ush Underwood: should i care about infinity?
ush Underwood: there are no hints ..for surviving my death
Apmelina Slingshot: infinity is what throws fire into the equations
Apmelina Slingshot: everytime you experience movement..you experience infinity
ush Underwood: you sure its not a cheap way .. to kill the the fear of dying ?
Apmelina Slingshot: maybe..but it is a thought I´ve had for a long time now
ush Underwood: keep it...
Apmelina Slingshot: and that thought seems to have unsynced us again
ush Underwood: if infinity is coming up in physical equations .. the thought is wrong
ush Underwood: it means something this infinity of less than zero and more than all
Apmelina Slingshot: no..it means you've reached the limit of one effective theory.. and reality tells you to find a better one
ush Underwood: you use the word reality easy
Apmelina Slingshot: hehe.. not really.. but if I would tell the whole story everytime.. we would be here all night
ush Underwood: i guess you know more than its possible to say it in a small talk in a so called jazz club
Apmelina Slingshot: something like that
Apmelina Slingshot: my brain is so big.. almost bigger than my boobs
ush Underwood: why not upgrade to 5 boobs ?
Apmelina Slingshot: hashahahaha
ush Underwood: a quantum jump is fate too

Seeking wisdom --
Many of us yearn to know the answers to lofty philosophical questions. We embark on our quest early, even as toddlers -- and sometimes, eventually, we gain enough understanding to feel a bit wise. Not everyone has the luxury of that search. For them there are few opportunities and even less joy.
For some, the biggest mission of each day is to combat the feeling that there is no way out, nowhere to turn, no one to help. Trapped in a world where possibilities seem beyond reach, trying to merely survive, there is little energy left for contemplation.
Sometimes there is only a bright pink jacket as a reminder that somewhere out there there is a world where seeking enlightenment is a viable alternative to simply making it through the day. Sometimes a bridge is formed to that world; other times despair holds the role as victor.
Many of us have been touched by the suicide of a friend or loved one. Suicide deaths have risen ten percent in the last decade. Know the signs. Help when you can.

Kludden tackade Cherry som står här till höger och pratar med ägaren till Aneli's Gallery för den fina utstyrseln.
Apmel Meerson: great show Cherry..LOVE these clothes:)
Cherry Manga: I knew i could count on your modeling skill Apmel
Men det var inte alla som höll med...
ush Underwood: apmel you look strange
Apmel Meerson: you don´t like it :)
ush Underwood: let me say this way;
ush Underwood: NO !
Apmel Meerson: hehe..need shoes
Medora Chevalier: yes - off to the shops with you Ap
Quan Lavender: Apmel you look extra sexy
Quan Lavender: not sure what you are, but sexy
Apmel Meerson: hard time getting my big feet into these shoes.. God it hurts to be a female.. or whatever I am
Cherry Manga: shooes is nothing comparing to breast surgery
Artée(artistide.despres): feet in cold water Apmel, might help
Vad handlade utställningen om? Cherry beskriver det bäst själv:
La Collection, hosted by Pirats Art Network.
Opening 28th may 2012 at 1.30PM
To enjoy fully the installation La Collection, you need to have a mesh available viewer, and to turn off
media streams to enjoy the immersive sounds included in the work.
La Collection is an introspective work, illustrating the duality of mind.You'll experience a walk
throught primal fear and strenght. Two free female avatars are given at the entrance in order to enhance
the experience.
Thanks to NicoleX Moonwall who filmed La Collection.
A big thank to Nathalie Gobé who planted the seed of this work.
Recommanded windlight sky setting: PaperSnow

Island eller Orienten ikväll?
Det är lite spännande att Sverige möter Island i en träningslandskamp inför fotbolls-EM ikväll, speciellt som de har tagit över vår gamle förbundskapten. Det är samtidigt lite extra kittlande att få en inbjudan i SL med ett orientaliskt tema, eftersom begreppet orientalism inte är riktigt pk. Uttryck som främre och bortre orienten härstammar ju från en tid då Europa med kolonialistens rätt mätte allt utifrån sitt perspektiv.
Men som Marx sa: Historiens upprepar sig, först som tragedi och sedan som fars.

Tisdagstips: Pathfinding & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Class
Den här serien med föreläsningar och praktiska övningar i AI och pathfinding i SL hålls på tisdagar. Den började förra tisdagen, men det går utmärkt att hoppa på idag. Tack Any1 Gynoid för utskicket!

Pathfinding & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Class
Tuesdays in 2012 starting May 22nd, 2:30pm SLT
Prerequisites: Basic Building and Basic Scripting.
HAL 9000 Certificate Awarded for Successful Completion of any animated (moving arms/legs) pathfinder exercise.
In 90 minutes, we plan to cover: Intro to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Chatbots, PATHFINDING, Animating
Your Non-Player Characters (e.g. moving arms and legs), Exercises: Build 5 AI Characters Hands-On - Use

New Article!!!
Teaching Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Worlds
Any Gynoid, New Citizens Inc
Scores of years ago, Professor Edward Feigenbaum, TuringAward Winner, told us that one day we would all
have avatars. Go Figure! Allalong, I’ve been watching for signs that might interest the good
Professor.Chatbots. Hmmmm. Joseph Weizenbaum’s classic Artificial Intelligence (AI)experiments.
Pathfinding, oh yes, Edsger Dijkstra’s algorithm. And so forth.
About Pathfinding in Virtual Worlds: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-785902
Also that article explains why AI characters will not createlag.
The challenge of AI has always been the platform. How muchsoftware and data scaffolding must we build,
before we get to the fun part,creating the AI? Seems to me, we have arrived. The platform, the
scaffolding,everything is being served up to us, misen place. As Pathfinding rolls out grid-wide in
Second Life, and soon tothe opensim metaverse… the engineers have done their job; we have everything
weneed. It is our turn: artists, entrepreneurs, and teachers.
The question now… What future do we want? Entrepreneurs willinvent cash generating AI products. Hidden
knowledge is their power. Artiststoo, O purveyors of beauty with veiled messages, how much we love you,
muses ofour virtual worlds… who rarely turn their inventions inside out, for all tosee. That’s what we
teachers do. Take things apart and turn them inside out forstudents to put back together. In this
knowledge ecosystem, as in RL, teachersintervene in society to empower emerging entrepreneurs, artists,
and teachersto create a better world. We teachers set the low water mark for commonknowledge. By
teaching AI in Virtual Worlds… making AI very accessible to everyoneinterested, we are lifting
Archimedes lever. Profoundly!
AI is fun! In my class, I do a brief lecture with AIdemonstrations… you learn and experience chatbots
and pathfinding and otherpowers, now available with simple scripts. The rest of this class
comprisesself-guided exercises. Building AI.Create a prim. Throw in a chatbot script and a personality
notecard. Throw in apathfinding script. Voila! You’ve built sophisticated AI! It’s really thateasy.
I give you all the scripts and step by step instructions onhow to build AI characters. Pathfinding…
(wandering, pursuing, and patrolling…)Pathfinding with Sensors… Chatbots… Greeter bot… Sound making…
Animations…Walking Controller… I call these scripts AI Beans. Drop an AI Bean in yourcharacter’s Content
tab and it performs AI! Key parameters that you want totweak, are right at the top of each script, and
well documented. Minimal externalrequirements are documented too, such as adding a chatbot personality
or soundfiles.
The crème de la crème skill for building AI characters isanimation. Pathfinding makes your characters
mobile; they move around the grid.Animations is what makes characters walk and physically gesture;
moving arms,legs, elevation, etc. I give you a folder of high quality characters; these aresculptie or
mesh creations, donated to NCI, some with freeware licensing.Through class exercises, I teach you how to
animate these characters (or yourown), in a few easy steps using a marvelous script from Ferd, an epic
SLcreator. Don’t forget the Mono checkbox! No programming needed. Use SL’s primeditor to move your
character’s limbs. Record 3 to 5 positions and you’ve got awalking animated character!
Of course, all of this content is totally free. You canreuse it to teach AI too! New Citizens Inc (NCI)
is a free school. You arewelcome to join us at 2:30pm SLT every Tuesday at NCI Dream Seeker (SLURL
http://tiny.cc/82vyew ). We are seekingqualified instructors to teach this class at additional times. I
also offer anasynchronous, distance learning option. The class materials are selfexplanatory; I give all
the class visuals and lecture notes (with visual cues).Exercises are self-guided. Contact any1 Gynoid
in-world (SL main grid) for moreinformation.
The new SL AI has the potential to transform Virtual Worlds,from vast depopulated regions to highly
interactive, immersive experiencesteaming with artificial life. This potential will go unrealized

Teaching Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Worlds
Any Gynoid, New Citizens Inc
Scores of years ago, Professor Edward Feigenbaum, TuringAward Winner, told us that one day we would all
have avatars. Go Figure! Allalong, I’ve been watching for signs that might interest the good
Professor.Chatbots. Hmmmm. Joseph Weizenbaum’s classic Artificial Intelligence (AI)experiments.
Pathfinding, oh yes, Edsger Dijkstra’s algorithm. And so forth.
About Pathfinding in Virtual Worlds: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-785902
Also that article explains why AI characters will not createlag.
The challenge of AI has always been the platform. How muchsoftware and data scaffolding must we build,
before we get to the fun part,creating the AI? Seems to me, we have arrived. The platform, the
scaffolding,everything is being served up to us, misen place. As Pathfinding rolls out grid-wide in
Second Life, and soon tothe opensim metaverse… the engineers have done their job; we have everything
weneed. It is our turn: artists, entrepreneurs, and teachers.
The question now… What future do we want? Entrepreneurs willinvent cash generating AI products. Hidden
knowledge is their power. Artiststoo, O purveyors of beauty with veiled messages, how much we love you,
muses ofour virtual worlds… who rarely turn their inventions inside out, for all tosee. That’s what we
teachers do. Take things apart and turn them inside out forstudents to put back together. In this
knowledge ecosystem, as in RL, teachersintervene in society to empower emerging entrepreneurs, artists,
and teachersto create a better world. We teachers set the low water mark for commonknowledge. By
teaching AI in Virtual Worlds… making AI very accessible to everyoneinterested, we are lifting
Archimedes lever. Profoundly!
AI is fun! In my class, I do a brief lecture with AIdemonstrations… you learn and experience chatbots
and pathfinding and otherpowers, now available with simple scripts. The rest of this class
comprisesself-guided exercises. Building AI.Create a prim. Throw in a chatbot script and a personality
notecard. Throw in apathfinding script. Voila! You’ve built sophisticated AI! It’s really thateasy.
I give you all the scripts and step by step instructions onhow to build AI characters. Pathfinding…
(wandering, pursuing, and patrolling…)Pathfinding with Sensors… Chatbots… Greeter bot… Sound making…
Animations…Walking Controller… I call these scripts AI Beans. Drop an AI Bean in yourcharacter’s Content
tab and it performs AI! Key parameters that you want totweak, are right at the top of each script, and
well documented. Minimal externalrequirements are documented too, such as adding a chatbot personality
or soundfiles.
The crème de la crème skill for building AI characters isanimation. Pathfinding makes your characters
mobile; they move around the grid.Animations is what makes characters walk and physically gesture;
moving arms,legs, elevation, etc. I give you a folder of high quality characters; these aresculptie or
mesh creations, donated to NCI, some with freeware licensing.Through class exercises, I teach you how to
animate these characters (or yourown), in a few easy steps using a marvelous script from Ferd, an epic
SLcreator. Don’t forget the Mono checkbox! No programming needed. Use SL’s primeditor to move your
character’s limbs. Record 3 to 5 positions and you’ve got awalking animated character!
Of course, all of this content is totally free. You canreuse it to teach AI too! New Citizens Inc (NCI)
is a free school. You arewelcome to join us at 2:30pm SLT every Tuesday at NCI Dream Seeker (SLURL
http://tiny.cc/82vyew ). We are seekingqualified instructors to teach this class at additional times. I
also offer anasynchronous, distance learning option. The class materials are selfexplanatory; I give all
the class visuals and lecture notes (with visual cues).Exercises are self-guided. Contact any1 Gynoid
in-world (SL main grid) for moreinformation.
The new SL AI has the potential to transform Virtual Worlds,from vast depopulated regions to highly
interactive, immersive experiencesteaming with artificial life. This potential will go unrealized
without us, theteachers. We teachers make it possible for ordinary people to be successfulresolving
complex challenges. Having the great good fortune of an education, Ido as much as I can to pull together
courseware and deliver it to the universe.I invite you to join our Quixotic AI quest. Now it’s your
turn.

Filmen i huvudet
Jag skriver den här serien av fri vilja och därför att den inte skriver sig självt :)
Alla kommentarer och frågor är som vanligt välkomna, även per mail till filmenihuvudet@indexkompaniet.se
Texterna skickas också ut som notecards i Apmels öppna grupp IB Bok Kafe och kan även diskuteras där, liksom på onlinediskussionsforumet Cognito.se (sök inlägg av Lelle) och på Filosofiforum.com där jag skriver under eget namn.
VAD ÄR NATURLIGT?
Jag hade under många år en vän som brukade säga ”att det är ju bara naturligt” när han inte tyckte att något han bedömde som positivt behövde förklaras närmare. Jag delade ofta inte alls hans uppfattning om vad som var ”naturligt”.
Finns det någonting som händer naturligt är det väl tidens gång och nedbrytning av alla ojämnheter av tidens tand. Det är knappast en uppbyggande positiv trend.
Det krävs arbete för att motstå denna naturens nedbrytande trend. Fråga vilken bäver som helst om naturen upprätthåller dammen där den satt bo utan att den behöver arbeta för det.
Det är inte så att arbete är ”onaturligt” naturligtvis, men det är energikrävande. Vad betyder det? Energi är ingen substans eller någon särskild form av rörelse, utan mer en balansterm för skillnader i naturen som när de utjämnas kan användas för arbete utan att ett bokföringsfel uppstår.
Hur mycket arbete som utförts kan mätas med hur stor förändring som åstadkommits i ett naturligt skeende i förhållande till hur det skulle sett ut om det lämnats åt sig själv.
Ingenting är helt isolerat naturligtvis. I praktiken kan vi ändå använda begreppet arbete för påverkan ”utifrån” som motverkar ett pågående ”inre” händelseförlopps naturliga utveckling .
I grunden är allt arbete beroende av skillnader mellan olika spontana skeenden i naturen. I de flesta fall påverkar de bara varandra på ett sätt som förstärker deras respektive pågående trend. Men i sällsynta fall förstärks skillnader mot vad som annars skulle varit fallet om de inte direkt påverkat varandra.
Det innebär då att vi i ”bokföringen” kan öppna nya konton för ingående och utgående arbete. Men om inget oförutsett ska kunna hända när man gör denna digitalisering förutsätter det en underliggande kontinuitet. Ett abstrakt energibegrepp fungerar som ett korrelat i den dubbla bokföringen.
De flesta entreprenörer vill gärna se sig som nyskapare och skapare av nya arbetstillfällen. De ser ingen motsättning i detta och att balansräkningen måste nollställas.
De flesta filosofer ser däremot en motsättning i en kontinuitet, innebärande determinism i naturen, och fri vilja att göra något annat än det som ändå skulle ha skett.
De har naturligtvis fel!

Farbror Ib citerar
Dagens citat får farbror Ibs tangentbordsförare att fundera över varför han lägger ner så mycket tid och pengar på att i sin tur blogga om gratisarbetande "content creaters" i SL.
"We don´t have to hire five thousand people to make and build contens for us, they´re all doing it all and they´re paying us."
In his anthroplogical study of Linden Lab, Making Virtual Worlds, Thomas M. Malaby quotes this statement made by a Linden Lab developer.

Passionstid
Även om vädret mitt i denna årstid för passionerade par i år passar bättre för aktiviteter IRL snarare än i SL och min primatar mest grämer sig för att han inte har råd att vara på plats varken i Monacos formel 1-lopp eller i Paris på Roland Garros så kanske det ändå kan finnas tid att ta en funderare över var ni placerar er själva på en passionsskala mellan 1 och 10 i SL. ush har sitt betyg klart.
Har ni riktigt gott om tid rekommenderas dessa två artiklar av en bloggkollega:

A teaser for Liquid Crystals opening June 2nd
Igår kunde man få en förhandsvisning tillsammans med en konsert av Ultraviolet Alter som dessutom komponerat musiken i streamen till Betty Tureaud's nya installation Liquid crystals på Dividni Shostakovich's Split Screen Installation Space. Musiken till det korta bildspelet är inte från Ultras liveframförande utan hämtat från streamen när Betty visade oss runt efter konserten.
Betty says:
"I've always been fascinated by crystals and the way they appear and how we now use them technologically
-- beautiful colors occur in polarized light and in the microscope we see fantastic shapes. They can
receive radio signals and form images on a computer screen.
My first show in SL in 2007 showed crystals of human internal fluids. I made this installation just following my fantasy color world."
Liquid have a chemical structure which exhibits a substance-phase with the characteristics of the
conventional liquid form (liquid) and the solid form (in this case the crystal). For example, the liquid
crystal surface as a liquid, but have many molecules arranged and oriented in the crystal-like state.
There are many different types of liquid crystal phases which are distinguishable by their optical
properties.
Liquid crystals can be classified into thermotropic and lyotropic. Thermotropic liquid crystal display
phase transitions as a function of temperature, whereas the lyotropic liquid crystals exhibit phase
transitions as a function of the concentration of the mesogenic.
Liquid crystals are widely used in LCD-based watches, cell phones, PDAs, TVs and monitors. The advantage
of the liquid crystal optical properties of certain liquid substances crystallize in the presence or
absence of an alternating electric field. In a typical LCD there is a liquid crystal layer (typically 10
micron thick) between two polarization filters which are angled (oriented 90° relative to each other).
It should be noted that many standard liquids in fact are liquid crystals. Soap is, in fact, liquid
crystal, and liquid crystal displays several variant forms depending on their concentration in water.

Don´t panic
Don´t panic står det på handuken (det går att läsa om man klickar upp bilden). Lättare sagt än gjort igår, denna handduksdag, när Kandi nästan lyckades få Apmel att missa kvällens Ultraviolet-konsert (mer om den i ett senare inlägg) med att oskyldigt be honom att testa en sak..
Långt ut till havs..
gick hon till attack! :)
