A little bit of distortion, but nothing Lens Correction in Photoshop can't "fix".

A great business plan for a Tattoo and Piercing Shop would be to sell jewelry, but only if the piercer is working. Why? Because "only he has the key" to the display. So you can look, but not buy.
It seems to me this would ensure revenue flow at all times, and also build client confidence by displaying a strong bond of trust that is shared between the shop's employees.
Oh wait, Daredevil Tattoo in LES is one step ahead! Silly me for attempting yet again to support local business. No matter, I'll just paint a mental "X" over this shithole and visit The InterWeb to funnel my money out of the neighborhood.

The Terror by Dan Simmons, is the best book I've read in quite a while. Despite it's whopping 784 pages, I devoured it in about a month.
Although most assuredly fiction, as there is no evidence of the Inuit mythological Tuunbaq, Simmons artfully wove historical record throughout his piece by accounting for the known failures of the expedition and painting vivid portraits of the characters, who were based on historical people. Smartly, since none survived and records were never found, no one really knows what happened, especially amid such a desolate and hopeless background.
The novel is just as rich thematically, as it explores imperialism, arrogance, will, diplomacy, evil and even romance -- it's amazing too that I could actually feel the frigid, relentless cold that surrounds the story.
