All on board
Travel in Sudan is never cheap, or convenient. The railway used to be the main link, but nowadays is mainly used for transporting goods.
Travel to Port Sudan from Khartoum takes about an hour by air but nearer 12 hours by train and slightly less by road.
Travel to the north is still possible by rail though there are a few airports and a road has been started, already past Shendi , Merowe and destination Dongola.
Buses to the Gezira, Sennar etc are frequent.
Travel to the South is not possible at this time, except by air, and the service is irregular.
Travel to the west is either by bus-lorry which is fairly cheap but uncomfortable, by rail, or by road to El Obeid. There is also air travel to El Obeid, Elasher and Nyala.
In towns there are taxis, minibuses, buses and nowadays the pest of a 'ricksha'Related to:

Khartoum International
I arrived around midnight on an Air Arbia flight from Sharjah. Customs was easy..they bus you from the plane to the arrivals hall. Considering the plane was a small A320 they had several immigration lines open so I got through in 20 min or so....much faster than Dubai or Lima for example.
Keep in mind you will need to pay a departure tax prior to checking in for your flight and they probably will not allow you to check in till 3 hours prior to your flight. You pay the tax at a desk/stand to the left as you enter the main entrance. The departure hall is small with no window but a small snack bar, gift shop, duty free and 4? free internet computers for emailing prior to your flight (I did not get to send anything as AOL was blocked).
The airport is small and the UN has the most flights (along with their own terminal). They are supposed to be building a new airport N. in Omdurman but that is at best another year off. Arriving two and a half hours prior to your flight should be plenty of time to catch your flight.Related to:

On camel's back
In the western province of Kordofan in the villages, the only way to move around easily apart from walking is on donkey or camel back.
These were the normal means of transport in many parts of the Sudan especially in rural areas. The nomadic tribes would pile all their possessions on the camels and move in search of grazing with their herds of animals. the women would sit in a covered tent on the camel's back.
Camels can still be seen in all parts of Sudan.Related to:

No Frequent Flyer Club Needed
Sudan Airways, as I havew alareday noted, scares me. The airline has had the following three fatal crashes of which we know:
1) December 6, 1971 - Fokker F27 ST-AAY - Tikaka - forced landing after hijack - 10 deaths
2) August 16, 1986 - Fokker F27 ST-ADY - Malakal - shot down by SPLA rebels - 60 deaths
3) July 8, 2003 - Boeing 737-200 ST-AFK - Port Sudan - 116 deaths
Also, it has an old fleet and, becasue of the civil war and embargoes, cannot get new planes or equipment. I also am concerned about the quality of mechanical servicing of this fleet:
3 Airbus A300
2 Airbus A310
Airbus A320
Boeing 737
5 Fokker 50 -- (40 years old)
3 Boeing 707-300C -- (Hey, at least these planes are only 35 years old!)
Beechcraft King Air 90
Road Tranport Within the COuntry
Sudan's major highway is the sealed road linking Khartoum with Port Sudan via Gedaref and Kassala. The routes from Khartoum to Atbara, Ed-Debbah and El-Obeid are also mostly sealed. Luxury buses run between Khartoum, Kassala and Port Sudan, and less comfortable buses run on the other sealed roads. In the rest of the country, 'roads' are mostly desert tracks and the only public transport is very hardy 'buses' adapted from trucks. In some instances your only choice is a truck; all the passengers sit on top of the cargo and pay a fairly standard fare for the journey. For shorter distances, and around towns, the transport of choice is Toyota pick-ups known as boksi.
Internal Flights
Sudan Airways flies to all of Sudan's major cities (Ed-Debba, Dongola, El-Fasher, Al-Geneina, Juba, Khartoum, Malakal, Merowe, Nyala, El-Obeid, Port Sudan, Wadi Halfa and Wau) but be prepared for last-minute schedule changes and overbooked flights! So, not only are the planes frightening, but you also face the stress of being stuck in an equally frightening local airport.
Sudan shares borders with many countries, but not all are open. Overland travel to the Central African Republic, Congo (Zaïre), Uganda and Kenya is very dangerous as it involves passing through the war zones of southern Sudan. The frontier with Eritrea is closed to travellers.
The roads between Sudan and Egypt seem to be open, but there is no bus or any public transport across the border. It's easier to go by the weekly ferry that leaves Sudan's inland port of Wadi Halfa and sails along Lake Nasser to the port near the Aswan Dam about 20km south of Aswan in Egypt. Saudia Arabia is also an option by water, with regular ferry services running between Suakin and Jeddah.
Sudan Airways
The national airline was (and probably still is) a frightening and uncomfortable experience.
No service, no rules, taking off with people standing and in the bathroom, crowds in the aisles throughout the flight, cooking in the back -- you name it and the FAA will have banned it.
Although guaranteed to add a few 'good' stories to your vacation journals, buses might be better avoided for the reasons highlighted in 'Travel Warnings.'
A Railway Network Does Exist!
I haven't had the opportunity to travel in Sudan by train yet, but this is the up-to-date information I've got about the railway network:
From Khartoum to Wadi Halfa
The train to Wadi Halfa departs from Khartoum Baharri every Monday at 10.30AM. It travels at approxomately 45 km/h and stops at Shendi for two hours and Atbara for 3 hours. The whole journey takes 34 hours for the 897 km trip inshallah (God willing).
1st class ticket - 6470 SDD
2nd class ticket - 5440 SDD
3rd class ticket - 4700 SDD
From Atbara to Port Sudan
The journey takes around 30 hours and leaves on the first Monday every month at 8PM.
1st class ticket - 3898 SDD
2nd class ticket - 3394 SDD
3rd class ticket - 2829 SDD
The rumours say that there really is no big differance between 1st and 3rd class tickets on the train and it's supposed to be a very uncomfortable and hot journey.Related to:
- Trains
- Budget Travel
Transportation in Gedaref
The main bus terminal is a few kilometres west of the city. You need to take a boksi or a taxi (400SDD) to get there. The pick up point for the trip to the Ethiopian border at Metemma is the Souq al Koda about 40 min east of town. Pick ups leave early (7.00 am) when full and will arrive at midday. The fare is about 500 –1000 SDD depending on your bargaining skills and if you will sit inside the cab or on the back. There are 4 or five police check points on the route – keep your passport handy! It's a rough, hot and dusty trip!
Transport in Wadi Halfa
Wadi Halfa is about 5 km away from the jetty where the ferry is landing. Transport is waiting outside the customs hall and cost about 300 SDD per person.
Wadi Halfa can be reached by train or road transport. The train from Khartoum / Atbara is supposed to join with the ferry. It leaves back south during the next morning. By tickets the day before.
Alternatively there are trucks leaving for Atbara or Dongola along the Nile in front of the Nile Hotel when full or the driver thinks it the right time for it, usually during sunset. It's a rough trip!Related to:
- Budget Travel
- Road Trip
- Backpacking
Transportation in Khartoum
There are different bus station in Khartoum. The chaotic Souq al Shabi south of the city serves destination to the east, north and south. Busses leave early when full. A taxi from the city will cost about 700 – 1000 SDD. Be prepared that immediately after your arrival touts will try to push you onto the bus they get commission for. Take your time and check prices, the type of vehicle (bus or converted truck) and how many passengers are already in so that you know roughly when it will leave.
There are smaller bus terminals serving routes within the city. The biggest one is at the Souq al Arabi on UN Square. From here are busses leaving for Omdurman. Like every other bus terminal its chaotic. Ask the drivers if the bus will be the right one for you!Related to:
- Road Trip
- Eco-Tourism
- Adventure Travel
The ferry on Lake Nasser
Ferry – there is a ferry connection from Wadi Halfa to Aswan in Egypt once a week. The vessel has two classes: Economy and cabin class. Meals are included. The trip takes about 20 hours and offers a nice view at Abu Simbel (depending on delays).Related to:
- Eco-Tourism
Trains – the only still operating railway lines are north of Khartoum between Wadi Halfa – Atbara – Khartoum and Atbara – Port Sudan.
Three classes are available as well as sleepers. Trains are slow, about 30 km/hrs in average and delays are not uncommon. (The boat at Wadi Halfa will wait for the train).
Its free of charge to travel on the roof of the wagons – although foreigners are not liked doing that.Related to:

A magnificent site-like that of another World. The urge to go down into it is almost overwhelming, but the views and photos from the top of the rim is even better! It's free-easy to find and absolutely worth the stop!
LOVE this stop. Our traditional final stop before heading home, taking in a picnic and the views. Watch out for the hungry and not shy gophers!
Stunning panoramic. If we had more time I'd had loved to go into the valley and get a true feel for the grandeur!
Go in the Fall, as the view is fantastic and the change of season impacts this in a beautiful way! We were very fortunate that the weather was bright and sunny, yet not too hot.
The information plaques give you the history of the canyon and we could just imagine the cowboys and the horse thieves...down in the valley... The view is spectacular and really beautiful. Nice spot to walk around and explore. The prairie dogs were cute too!
Horsethief Canyon is vast, serene, and unique. I loved the scenery and also loved the fact that one could go walking on the trails that lead into the valley of the canyon. It is a about 5-10 minutes drive from city centre, but it is totally worth the extra drive!! And, I loved how this place has little to no...
When I saw literature about this place, we decided to drive out to see it. As we were driving to it, and seeing fields upon fields, never in my wildest dreams would I have known this was there. We walked a path down (there was an easy one near the helicopter pad) and was truly amazed. It's definitely worth taking...
This is certainly worth a look. Although it was a little foggy first thing in the morning in burned off quickly to reveal a wonderful vista of the canyon.
If you have little ones, take care around the edges as there are no barriers.
We'll recommended.
I wish I would have hustled my but over sooner to get a hike in. Great peaceful sunset and time to reflect on my day.
Looking from the top you can understand the name. If you were a horse thief hiding in here you'd have lots of places to duck into and you could see anybody coming for miles. Lot's of gophers here too. Don't step in a hole.

Kannada Kanteerava, Gaana Gandharva, Dr. Raj Kumar is one man that Kannada film industry would never forget. Raj Kumar is to Kannada cinema what Rajesh Khanna was to Bollywood. Right from acting to singing, Annavaru (as Raj Kumar was called by his fans) has marked himself as an all rounder not just on silver screen but even in reality. And when the world lost him physically, there were no boundaries to pains experienced by scores in Karnataka.
A legendary personality is no more, but his legend will remain forever. Penned down by his son, Puneet Rajkumar, book on Annavaru will focus on the real life episodes of late Raj Kumar. It was said that it took nearly eight years for Puneet to write a book on his late father. 'The Person Behind The Personality,' is a pictorial biography. Some exclusive photos of Annavaru, which the world didn't see are being published in this book.
Dedication and commitment can take a person to zenith and the book by Puneet sets as a shining example of the same. It shows the off screen life of the super star and how he struggled durting his initial days. This book reportedly contains 1,750 photographs of Kannada Kanteerava.

Sunday Repeats
KICKAPOO KANGAROO is still blooming.
BLOCKBUSTER is looking fabulous.
BLOCKBUSTER again.
Another repeat is VISITING ROYALTY.
Also TRUMPET CALL.
RIO ROJO is a star in my garden.
And here is AMAZING DON again.
Wow, Rio Rojo is really is doing well. After seeing that clump, I don't even remember the others, except that I liked them. I don't think Blockbuster bloomed for me this year. I'm going to go out & have a little chat with it tomorrow!
I love the ruffles, but then, I seem to like them all. My main complaint might be when the flowers get too big they flop. I have a few that do that & I don't care for ground flowers. I really don't even think it is the weight of the flower, the stems on these particular ones seem more slender & fragile.
It is hard to believe that I dug up that entire row and divided them after bloom last year. They are all back to big clumps. But Rio Rojo has so much impact in my garden. I just love it. Fortunatly the flowers are not flopping here, even the very big ruffely ones.

Wednesday's post on the American diet focused on what people buy at the supermarket (short story: a vast amount of processed food). What do we eat when we eat out? The Wall Street Journal's Sara Nassaur brings some data points:
"Americans eat more on the go than anywhere else in the world," and the trend is growing, says Wade Thoma, vice president of the menu innovation team for McDonald's U.S.A. Drive-through orders make up around 70% of its sales, he says.

Last December, a group called Restaurant Opportunities Centers United came out with a new kind of restaurant guide—one that ranks eateries not on the deliciousness of their food, but the way they treat their workers. It was about damned time, because restaurant employees form a vast part of our nation's workforce, and they largely get treated like dirt. We welcomed it here at Mother Jones—Jaeah Lee mashed up its findings with quality rankings from Zagat and Yelp, and I weighed in with anecdotes from my own youthful stint as a line cook.
Now the ROC guide is back, updated, and freshly heralded by Mark Bittman. (Hat tip, Gawker's Hamilton Nolan.) For a broader look at conditions face by the workers who feed us—the people who work in restaurants, farms, slaughterhouses, supermarkets, etc—see this post from Mother Jones' Maddie Oatman on an important new study.
When I was a kid in the 1970s and early '80s, processed food was everywhere. I remember TV dinners, fish sticks, Tater Tots, Hamburger Helper, canned pear halves in sugar goo, and more. And that was in my house, where my mom used processed food to supplement her habit of cooking from scratch two or three times a weeks.
In at least one friend's house, heat-and-serve fare seemed to have replaced cooking altogether, starting with an unholy (although quite coveted by me at the time) frozen pancake-and-sausage breakfast product made by Jimmy Dean.
Since then, we've seen the explosion of farmers markets, CSAs, cooking shows, and celebrity chefs. Cooking from scratch is cool, and processed food is on the way out. Right? Turns out, processed food is more popular than ever. Check out this chart, part of a package of fascinating ones from NPR's Planet Money team, generated from Bureau of Labor Statistics data, on how we spend our grocery dollars:

You know how sometimes you get into a high-stakes conversation and you think of the perfect things to say after it's over? Well, here's a factoid I wish I had dropped during last week's interview with Terry Gross on her NPR show Fresh Air: "The number of chickens produced annually in the United States has increased by more than 1,400 percent since 1950 while the number of farms producing those birds has dropped by 98 percent."
Those startling numbers and many more appear in a new report from a group called Georgians for Pastured Poultry, an alliance that includes pastured-based poultry farms, chefs, the Sierra Club, and an environmental law firm called GreenLaw. (Hat tip to the excellent Maryn McKenna.) The report reads like the black book of industrial chicken farming—a kind of dossier of the ills of rounding up billions (yes, billions) of birds into tight spaces and fattening them as quickly as possible.
On Wednesday morning, I was lucky enough to be invited onto the NPR interview show Fresh Air, to be grilled by the legendary host herself, Terry Gross. Terry wanted to hear more about my work on the meat industry, and asked me a series of smart, impeccably researched questions. I hope I overcame my nervousness enough to deliver worthy answers. You can listen to our conversation here.
In Austin, where I grew up and where I'm spending time now, summer arrives with the subtlety of a two-by-four to the back of a head. You wake up one day, and suddenly its 95 degrees and humid—and not getting cooler until October. It's barely June, and we've already crossed that threshold.
But I've noticed an important compensation for the brutal heat: Peak-season summer produce arrives early, too. In the high country of western North Carolina, where I've lived for years, we don't start harvesting green beans, garlic, and squash until July, and tomatoes don't come in until August. On a recent Saturday visit to Austin's excellent inner-city Boggy Creek Farm, I was surprised to find all of that and more on display.
So I grabbed a bunch of it and did what I have done so often at Maverick Farms with similarly excellent produce: minimally cooked it and tossed it into a pasta, goosing it with chickpeas, walnuts, and Parmesan for a little extra flavor and protein.
Back in 2006, a team of scientists from Canada, the United States, Sweden, and Panama published a landmark report in the prestigious journal Science on the state of the oceans. The researchers highlighted what they called an "ongoing erosion of diversity" in sea life that, if left unchecked, would lead to the "collapse of all taxa currently being fished by the mid-21st century."
Stripped of scientese, what the report described was the real possibility of the ocean as a vast, fetid gray zone, not quite dead but no longer able to provide a significant amount of food to humanity. And not in some unimaginably distant future, but rather in just four short decades, around the time when your aughts-era infant will reach middle age.
When the report dropped, it grabbed attention in the eco-foodie world like a great white shark sunning its dorsal fin in the shallows off a crowded beach. I was just beginning to write about food politics at the time, and the Science study jolted me from my land-locked fixations and opened the ocean as a rich and urgent topic.
In November, California voters will decide on a ballot initiative that would require labeling of all foods containing ingredients from genetically modified crops. The initiative made it to the ballot after almost 1 million Californians signed a petition in favor of it—nearly double the 504,760 signatures needed under the state's proposition rules. The campaign that organized the push to get the measure on the ballot focused on possible health effects of GMO foods.
This news will not likely be applauded by my friends over at Croplife America, the main trade group of the GM seed/agrichemical industry. The big GMO crops—corn, soy, sugar beets, and cotton—are processed into sweeteners, fats, and additives used widely by the food industry. Everything from high fructose corn syrup-sweetened Coke to soybean oil-containing Hellman's mayo would have to bear a label reading something like "Contains GMO ingredients."
That would send a shockwave through the food industry—one that could ultimately be felt on the industrial-scale US farms that have been devoting their land to GMO crops for years, and the companies that profit from selling them patented seeds and matching herbicides. The reason isn't just that California represents an imposing chunk of the US food market. It's also that a food-labeling law that starts in California is unlikely to stay in California.
The food industry likes to portray obesity as a matter of personal responsibility: People who eat too much gain weight, and it's their own fault.
That view willfully neglects the role that industry marketing, particularly to children, plays on shaping people's food habits. Meanwhile, evidence is mounting that exposure to certain industrial chemicals in food, often at very low levels, changes the way people metabolize calories and can lead to weight gain. While no one would say that these chemicals, known as obesogens, are the sole cause of rising rates of obesity in the United States, they may well be contributing significantly to it.
"More than one in four Africans—close to 218 million people—is undernourished," the UN Development Program declared in a recent report. With food prices gyrating upward in recent years, the situation has reached a crisis. What's the answer?
According to President Obama and his fellow heads of state in the G-8 (United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, Canada, and Russia), the solution lies in the private sector. At last weekend's G-8 summit at Camp David, the group launched "The New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition," described as a "commitment by G-8 nations, African countries and private sector partners to lift 50 million people out of poverty over the next 10 years through inclusive and sustained agricultural growth."
The "private-sector partners" in the alliance have pledged $3 billion in new investments in African ag over the next decade. And what are the companies that President Obama and his G-8 peers have tapped to lift Africa out of hunger? Their number (list here) turns out to include global agribiz giants Cargill, Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta, and Yara, and junk-food behemoths Unilever, Kraft, Hershey's, and Mars.

Moonflower vine germination requirements
I am going to wintersow Moonflower vine..besides nicking the end of the seed, I need to soak overnight before planting. Now do the seeds need darkness, Do Not Cover, or coverly lightly? Once it germinates, does it start to grow quickly. I plan to plant it in a large patio container and let it climb a metal obesik or trellis. How soon after it starts to germinate, do I plant it out in that container?
I answered you on the 'other' site - these plants don't transplant well. It would be best to wait until danger of frost is over and plant directly where you want them to grow. Cover the planted seeds with chicken wire or other medium that critters can't dig through - they will dig seeds up and eat the tender new growth.
I've been WS sowing them for 7 years and never had a problem with transplanting them or any other seedling to their permanent home.
WS seedlings are pretty hardy and strong so don't worry about transplanting them.
I've never nicked the seeds for them or morning glory seeds for that matter either.
I soak them overnight and they will really swell and enlarge and then sow them in containers and out they go.
Do cover them with some soil though.
They germinate in warm temps and warm soil and can be a bit slower to germinate than most morning glory seeds.
I'm in zone 5, so I don't sow them till towards the end of April, as they won't germinate for me until mid May.
Once they have 2 sets of "true leaves", they are moved to the permanent home for the summer.
I've found that the seedlings are a bit slow to start growing while in the containers, but once they are transplanted to either the ground or a pot, they will take off like a weed and grow, sometimes 2-4 inches a day.
I've had them in the ground, and in 10 inch pots and either way, once given room for their roots to really grow, they take off.
I would wait till their are sets of "true leaves" before transplanting them to the container you want to use.

BIG COCK is exactly what these hot girls need
Naughty teen comes back from classes and fucks with a really BIG COCK! Awesome! Actually nice update. An A class in flawless professional fucking. They both in top form. Enjoy! This naughty brunette teen is home alone, she just came back from her classy private all girl college and she is feeling so hot and wet, she calls her pal up to see if he can cool her off! She waits for him in bed, still wearing her sexy student outfit, with her ruffled skirt hiked up and her panties to the side, masturbating herself as he enters through the window! He slides the drenched cotton panties down her thighs and rubs her tight pink pussy while they passionately kiss. He finger fucks her wet teen twat and licks her pussy and clit in very erotic way. I love the way she moves her hips, sliding her pussy over his mouth. She is perfect, one of the hottest girls I've ever seen. Wearing her knee socks and no panties she looks absolutely amazing while lying on her back. Real cute schoolgirl with perfect teen titties, a great ass and a sweet pussy. After spending all day surrounded by pussy, this naughty teen girl yearns for a manly cock inside her! He spreads her legs and penetrates her with his throbbing erection, her schoolgirl vest and blouse unbuttoned and exposing her breasts and perky nipples. She has one leg over his shoulder as he squeezes one of her tits and rams his dick up her tight snatch. She's been fantasizing about his big dick all day long and it's finally her turn to feel it deep inside her, banging her hard. She leans back and thrusts her pelvis against his cock, back and forth, with a dirty look on her slutty face. This girl is unbelievably sexy and so damned hot. If her parents knew what she's doing at home while they are busy at work! She takes off all her clothes and straddles herself atop her man's huge cock, impaling her tight pussy on it and riding her lover like a sexy cowgirl. He presses her body against his own and pounds her hard. This girl rides that cock like never before. She rides a dick like a rodeo champ. Over 5 min energetic ass humping! Other girls should take lessons from her on how to ride a cock in cowgirl with the hips, only. Great job in doggy too. Sometimes the quality of girls that do porn amazes me. This girl is stunning, so sexy and enthusiastic! Watch him fucking her snatch from behind before blowing his creamy load all over her body and face! You won't want to miss the full film here:
While some girls like big dicks, these Teens Love Huge Cocks! So it only makes sense that you would find them here, on the prowl for the biggest, thickets, hardest man poles that they can slide their hands, lips and tongues up and down as their pussies drip in anticipation of a hardcore fucking they will not soon forget! These dirty teen sluts love having their tight pussy and ass pounded hard by a massive cock and enjoy getting their faces and tits blasted by creamy cumshots in hot XXX action that will make you cream your pants! You can't pass up a sexual encounter with these ripe 18 year old hot girls!
Just look at that hot babe and her beautiful hot ass! She has perfect tits, a slim waste and a delicious ass and most importantly cum hungry pussy! I could watch that video all day! This hot babe is serving her man breakfast in her sensual pink lingerie and it's obvious he's far more interested in eating her out than the dish she put in front of his face! She sits on his lap and they make out as his skilled fingers work the hooks on her bra, revealing her gorgeous breasts. He tenderly holds her tits to his face and licks her hard nipples. She pushes them together and she can feel how hard he's getting, so she drops to her knees, between his legs and rubs his package over his denims. She wants to get a taste of that rock hard cock! Hot babe licks his shaft from the base of his balls to the tip of his dick, popping his testicles in her wet mouth so she can suck them hard! She turns over and leans over the table, shaking and grinding her tight bubble butt against his cock, finally sitting on it, feeling how it sinks deep inside her pussy. She bops her ass up and down, practically humping his boner, it looks so fucking hot and awesome! They end up on the rug, with him fucking her sideways and her rubbing her clit before straddling herself on top in reverse cowgirl so she can ride that erection and see how far they go! Her man stroked that teen pussy until he couldn't take it any longer and pulled out to bust his load all over her body. Watch him pull out just in time to spray his load all over her naked body! Oh, she loves to fuck and she knows how, and works hard at it. I want to marry her flawless ass. mmm!!! so hot!!!
Are you a lover of black girls? Toni Marie is one hot black babe, man! Just check out her big, juicy, mocha bubble shaped ass bouncing up and down her man's hard cock in steamy interracial action in this video clip! He's rubbing the crack of her chocolate ass and thumbing her puckered up ebony asshole while drilling her black pussy, just the way she likes it! Black naked girl is straddled on top of her man and enjoys riding his dick, with beads of sweat running down her lower back and over her luscious caramel butt cheeks. She flips over, still on top, pops that dick back in her pussy and keeps humping her man, this time squatted in reverse cowgirl, with her delicious brown titties bouncing up and down, covered in sweat. She rubs his balls while he penetrates her, she knows that turns him on and gets his dick harder, she just wants him to cum inside her and give her a nasty creampie or something! This sexy black babe is insatiable and she'll make you blow your load too!
I will never forget this naked babe with big tits. I met Jasmin at a mutual friend's party and that same night we were back at our place and banging like there's no tomorrow! After letting me check out her big tits (like I hadn't been looking at them all night long already) she got down on her knees, pulled down my pants and began sucking my dick and licking my balls! Her hands, lips and tongue were all over my junk and she massaged it hard against her big boobs, telling me not to cum too fast because she had lots of kinky shit in store for me! Damn! I bent that sexy babe over, pulled her pink panties to the side and popped my sausage deep inside her dripping wet, hot, tight snatch! Naked babe grabbed on tight to the sheets and then made me lay flat on my back, squatting on top of my meaty pole in reverse cowgirl and humping me like crazy! I'm telling you, man, this girl had the moves! That juicy ass was grinding up and down my pole and then she flipped and she was facing me, milking my cock until she made me blow my spunky load all over her big tits!
Cute black girlfriend eats dick and gets a hardcore fuck
Why is this naked girl hiding behind the pillow I have no idea, because she's got a drop dead gorgeous body, so I guess she just likes to be a tease! That's okay, you are going to love getting teased by her! It seems that her boyfriend's hard cock is what she needs to get into the mood, she takes it in her hands and strokes it as she sucks it and deepthroats her man in front of the camera. That dick is tasty and it's getting so big and hard, our naughty black girlfriend gets in the mood to ride. She climbs on top of his boner and parts her thong to the side, letting that boner sink inside her tight gash and humping her man in cowgirl position. She has a fine and juicy mocha bubble butt and what better way for the camera to capture it in all its glory than putting this black naked girl down on all fours and banging her hard form behind! Her boyfriend follows up with missionary fucking, rubbing her swollen clit because he wants to see this black babe cumming hard for his cock! After he was done pleasing her she took his big white cock into her mouth and cummed there. He fucked her hard and then shipped their private video to Black GFs. I think this dude has a future in first-person porn directing.
Okay, let's recap! Baldy here went in for a back rub, but somewhere along the way, his massage session took a seriously kinky detour, because his masseuse, a sexy blonde babe, is totally naked and mounted on top of him, riding his hard cock! Baldy is not complaining, she's got a sensational bubble butt he can grab tight and she is pressing her big tits against his chest and face while humping him. She reaches back and grabs his erection, making sure he doesn't slip out of her and just keeps riding him! After a while she changes position, her back now facing him, naked girl squats on his rock hard cock and lets it slip back inside her, straddling him in reverse cowgirl. She leans back against him so he can grab them big titties and play with them while fucking her so good. Naked sexy masseuse grinds her hips so that cock goes deeper into her pussy funnel and massages her own titties to make herself cum hard, there is no way this horny dude is not leaving this hot blonde masseuse a very generous tip!
Hot blonde and brunette have a lesbian affair by the pool
This hot blonde and brunette are not just living together, the girls are also having a heated lesbian romance, as you can tell by the way they are making out in the pool on this sunny, sunny day! Half naked girls gaze into each other's eyes, press their bodies tight together and kiss with open mouths as the brunette caresses the blonde's small breasts over her bikini. She leads her out of the pool and to the shade, where she delights on the blonde's hot ass, salivating over her pink asshole and lubing it up, rubbing her fingers through her asshole and pussy while she kisses her butt cheeks. Then naked girls switch into a 69, with the blonde girl on top, and the brunette spits a wad of saliva unto her pussy and starts eating her out. The blonde changes position while still on top, so they can kiss and press their wet muffs together, almost as if they were dry humping. The girls look so hot, sexy and cute making out naked by the side of the pool, it just makes you wanna blow your load, doesn't it? Cast: Malena Morgan and Mia Bliss.

She pulls up her blue top to showcase her delicious bangers, cupping them in her hands and she turns over and pulls her panties down her sensual thighs, spreading her juicy butt cheeks far apart so the photographer can get some great close up shots of her puckered little asshole and her meaty, tender, pink gash.

Her lover slaps her ass here and there to keep her up to speed and she grinds her bubble butt against his crotch like sandpaper unto a piece of wood. The other guy is waiting with his dick in full erection as Jessie straddles herself atop her other lover and lets his dick sink deep inside her gaping asshole. Of course her pussy is free for the second cock to bang her too.

Positions lying on her side and front give some nice views up her curvy undercarriage while she rubs her pussy. Then with Nesty lying on her back we move in close to inspect her blonde pussy in detail while she rubs the little vibratir against her clitoris. She reaches a mild climax with two vibrators though the moment of orgasm is not so obvious but the view is quite pretty. We get some very nice dildo humping action now with Nesty riding a suction dildo that is stuck on the corner of the glass top table. The rear views are especially nice with her big round ass squirming up and down on the toy. Some of the positions were a slight bit awkward for her requiring some slow action but she eventually gets her ass humping up and down with enthusiasm and with lots of pretty bum jiggling motion as she brings it to a climax. There's very nice spread pussy and ass view at the end after she comes off the toy.

Zebra mussels make it to Isle Royale
Zebra mussels have invaded Isle Royale National Park, with Park Service officials Monday confirming the finding for the first time.
Park officials are concerned because Isle Royale holds one of the region's largest remaining populations of native mussels on small lakes on the island. Zebra mussels have in many cases wiped out native mussel populations across the Great Lakes.

The Future of Robots and Sensors
Who: Dr. Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos, Distinguished McKnight Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering; Director, Center for Distributed Robotics; Director, Security in Transportation Technology Research and Applications, University of Minnesota
When: Thursday, April 2, 7 p.m.
Where: Continuing Education and Conference Center, St. Paul campus, University of Minnesota
Tickets: $15
Today, almost everyone, it seems, is interested in, or at least intrigued by, robots. Most, we have come to know through literature, television, and film. There are kindly, protective robots, such as the one on Lost in Space ("Danger, Will Robinson!"), and doting, caster-wheeled robots like Rosie from The Jetsons. Star Wars gives us the joy of R2-D2's droid-infused gibberish, and in turn, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the eeriness of Kubrick's celluloid interpretation of red-eyed, AI antagonist, Hal 9000.
But those are more recent, pop-culture examples. It turns out, human fascination with robots can be traced as far back as 4th-century B.C.E., China, and a peculiar description found in the Liezi that describes an artificial humanoid who is capable of mimicking human operations.
So what accounts for this long-standing fascination? And as robots become more and more a part of our daily lives, we ask: what are they like and what are their uses?
Join us April 2, when Dr. Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos, Distinguished McKnight Professor in the University of Minnesota's Department of Computer Science and Engineering, will lead an armchair tour of how robotics is changing the landscape of manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, entertainment, education, and security and search-and-rescue systems, worldwide.
Papanikolopoulos, who also directs the University's Security in Transportation Technology Research and Applications, and the Center for Distributed Robotics, will discuss how the use of robots is becoming ubiquitous (Google purchases a new robotics company nearly every month; and Amazon relies heavily on the Kiva robotic system for the company's day-to-day logistics), and how their forms are moving away from the humanoid systems depicted in movies, and toward devices that can sense their surroundings and respond accordingly.
Dr. Papanikolopoulos will also discuss new developments in the area of sensors, in particular, sensors used for mental health assessments, and algorithms that assist with early diagnoses of children who are at risk of developing behavioral disorders.
Dr. Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos is a Distinguished McKnight Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where he is also Director of the Center for Distributed Robotics and Security in Transportation Technology Research and Applications. His research interests and projects include robotics, computer vision, control systems, and sensors for transportation applications such as vision-based sensing and classification of vehicles, and the recognition of human activity patterns in public areas and while driving. Dr. Papanikolopoulos is the recipient of numerous fellowships, grants, and awards, including the Best Video Award from the International Conference on Robotics and Automation; the Richard P. Braun Distinguished Service Award for his work in transportation; and the Faculty Creativity Award from the University of Minnesota. In 2007, he was conferred with the distinction Fellow, by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which recognizes the extraordinary accomplishments of members whose work is dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.

Brag Post #2
Optimara Little Kunzite
Pixie Blue
Dresden doll
There's more, but this will have to do for now. As always critique and feedback are invited.
PS. I know that the Little Kunzite has a double crown - she decided to sprout one while I was gone. I'll have to take care of that when I return from my trip.
In my empty milk gallon jug I put:
1) water which I let sit for one or two days with open top.
Then I add:
2) 1/4 tsp of Dyna Gro Grow -or- Dyna Gro Bloom (depending on what I am trying to accomplish with the plants.)
3) ONE DROP of SuperThrive
4) 1/2 teaspoon of Physan 20
I'll put the cap back on and tilt it a bit. I don't shake cause the Physan can make bubbles if shaken.
That's the fluid that I use to water in wick jars as well as from the top of plants and into saucers where pots sit.

Activities were launched on 26 September with a press breakfast attended by local media. As well as discussing the uses of certified wood in sustainable construction projects in Peru , the breakfast provided an opportunity to hear from Sumac , a company implementing the US Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification scheme in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, as well as the NGO TECHO, which works to tackle poverty in urban slums, and the Organizing Committee of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Other organizations offering presentations on the potential and impact of FSC certification included the Peru Green Building Council, AkzoNobel Argentina, Woodmark, Tetra Pak®, the World Wildlife Foundation, Silcosil, Grupo Bozovich and Peru Green Designs.
Workshop participants later visited CITEmadera, a technological timber innovation center. Executive Director Jessica Moscoso explained CITEmadera's current projects, and participants toured the facilities, learning more about on-site activities. They then traveled to Pamplona Alta, an informal settlement on the outskirts of Lima where TECHO is building emergency housing. They joined FSC staff, TECHO volunteers and community members to help paint some of the houses built by TECHO.
In the evening, participants were joined at the CASACOR gallery by NGO and government representatives, including the Vice Minister for Agricultural Policy, to view an exhibition which brought together the most prestigious artists, architects, designers and decorators in the country. Here, FSC launched its 'Under the Tree' space. This installation links wood as a resource, represented by a ficus tree more than a hundred years old, and wood as a product, represented by a wooden platform consisting of concentric circles mirroring the growth rings of the tree.
The event was covered in major national newspapers in Peru such as El Peruano and El Comercio.
