Experiment on paper! Designed to push the boundaries of traditional drawing, this class intends to open new creative paths for the students' personal aesthetic and drawing language. Students will work with a variety of conventional media, such as charcoal and graphtie, and also experiment with unconventional materials—such as vellum, cold wax and natural pigments. This class will be a laboratory for students to learn about new materials and complete multiple drawings.

The scene is, indeed, a police-office, to be found on a certain quay of that city of quays, Dublin.
Upon the bench, or rather behind the counter, is seated, or rather stands, a learned, amiable, but
somewhat deaf old gentleman, whose early profession of barrister was not so all-engrossing as to
hinder him, about the meridian of life, from accepting the at least certain and most useful
appointment of police magistrate. By his side are his clerk, and occasionally one or two
confidential officers. Before him a crowd of watchmen, "constables of the watch," and the
jumbled and curious street-sweepings of the last night, all awaiting either to make charges or to
meet them as they can; but immediately at the side of the counter, fronting the worthy magistrate,
we recognize two acquaintances, Peery Conolly and Molly Houlihan, and by their sides, Anty
Nowlan, sitting in a very weak state upon a chair kindly provided for her, and Peggy Nowlan,
standing over her and holding her hand.
At the moment when we look in, Peery and Molly are, with great energy, alternately addressing
the bench.
"Yes, your reverance," says Peery.
"Whisht, Peery, he's no reverance; he axes pardon, my lard; he's a gawk from the counthry; yes,
my lard."
"Yes, to what?" demanded the magistrate, who, by holding his hand scoop-wise to his ear,
required no interpreter to hear the loud tones in which he was addressed: "yes, to what, good
people? pray listen a moment."
"Oh, by all manes, your honour," assented Peery.
"Spake your mind out, my lard," added Molly, both in a patronizing tone.
"Thank you. I wish, then, to see if I comprehend you. You were at last conveying the young
woman to your lodgings, you say, andŚ"
"Yes, plase your lardship," taking up Molly's version of the title, "an' that's what riz the whole o'
the last scrimmage on us," interrupted Peery.
"The what?"
"He's only a simple-tongued gorńoon, just cum up, my lard; he manes the 'ruction, like."
"And what does the 'ruction mean?"
"Lard save us, sure every christhen-sowl on Ireland's ground knows thatŚthe fight, my
"YesŚthat's it;Śyes, your honour," pleaded Peery; "Molly was jist for gittin' 'em down the
steps o' the cellar, when, up comes Misther Sodger again wid his faction,Ś'An' now, you baste,'
says he to myself, 'I'll have your Irish life, so I will.'Ś'Will you?' says IŚan' I up to him wid
the sprong to the end o' the stick."
"What do you call the sprong?"
"Hould your whisht, I tell you, Peery, an' let me discoorse his lardship;Ś jist on the turn o' the
stairs, my lardŚ"
"No, Molly, you're wrong all over; you war on the flure, when it happenedŚ"
Musha, Peery, noŚ; see, my lardŚ"
"I hear a great many strange words, but I can see nothing: stand back; and you, my good
girlŚthe elder girl, I meanŚpray relate this last part of the case, as briefly as possible."
"I will tell you, Sir, if I am able."
"Take time; do not distress yourself."
"Thank'ee, Sir. Before we got to this good woman's place, we saw Peery Conolly running
towards us, and the soldier and his friends following him. Hurrying down the cellar, she and me,
with my little sister between us, I heard angry words above, where Peery stood to bear the brunt,
and a noise of such things as that," pointing to Peery's bayonet, which, mounted upon his cudgel,
he stoutly shoulderedŚ"I knew they were pressing him too hard; I screamed and ran up; other
good people came by, and the soldier and his faction ran away."
"Every word of id, jist as id turned out," said the hero of the tale.
"As pat as A. B. C." assented Molly, slapping one palm upon the other.
"Silence!" cried the magistrate, who, though deaf, was inconvenienced by the smack:Ś" did
you then remain in her lodging?"
"May all good be multiplied ten-fold to her and hers, Sir!ŚI did; at first, to tell the truth, in
doubts of her, the place was so poor and mean; but she undeceived me well, by the comfort she
afforded to my sister and me."
"An' Peery, over head, in the sthreet, wid the bagnet on his shouldher, your lardship," added
"Your business here, then, is to prosecute the persons who have insulted you?"
"No, Sir; we forgive them, and hope they may be forgiven."
"No, my lard," said Peery; "the 'meeroch' 'ill come on 'em soon enough, widout our
helpin' id; may be we'd do a thing to 'em wid our sticks," throwing himself into position, gently
flourishing the cudgel, and smiling confidently on the magistrateŚ"when thrashin' 'ud be good
for 'em; but that's no raison we'd turn informers; they shan't have that to throw in our teeth, when
we get home to Tipperary." And Peery drew up, full of indignation that it should be supposed he
would put his greatest foe into the fangs of the law.
"It has been mentioned to me that you came to Dublin to seek your fatherŚperhaps you wish
this office to assist you?"
"Oh, Sir! "ŚPeggy could get no farther.
"Avoch, no, Sir; too late for that," said Peery.
"Then what do you all want?"
"I ask your pardon, Sir," resumed Peggy, trying to check her tears;Ś"I'll try to tell you about it.
This poor faithful boy went at my request to seek my father at the place where we knew he slept,
and came back with word that a few moments before he had gone away in a carriage with another
person, we didn't know where; home, we think and hope; and so, Sir, as I lost all my money on
the road, and my sister lost all her's in that wicked houseŚand as we are quite strangers in
Dublin, we came hereŚindeed this charitable woman brought us hereŚto askŚoh, Anty,
Anty!"Śinterrupting herself, and overcome by a sense of her forlorn situation, she fell on her
sister's neck.
"Arrah, look at 'em," blubbered Peery, "an' your lardship sees how it is wid the cratures; that's the
up an' down iv id; they have nothin' more to do in Dublin town; an we want to send 'em home
again, safe an' sound. The little Molly an' I had was at their sarvice, only they wouldn't hear of
that; and there's a great gintleman, a friend o' my own, in the town, or nigh-hand to it, that 'ud
give them or me a help, only myself doesn't know where to face to look for him, now that we 're
onct asundher; so here we up and we come to beg a bit for 'em; an' if your reverance ud jist bid
the dhriver give 'em a lift on the sate, for nothing but out iv love or pity, likeŚ"
"Do, my lard, an' may you have a long life, a good death, an' a favourable judgment!" interrupted
Molly, while tears ran down her harsh man's face.
"'Tis a sad story enough; yet there are so many impositionsŚin fact, if the young women can
get any one to give them a characterŚŚ"
"Och, I'll go bail for 'em," cried Molly.
"And who are you, pray?"
"I'm a basket, my lard," dropping a curtsey.
"A basket!"
"Yes, my lard; to a Misthess Taffey."
"She manes that she stops wid a Misthess Taffey, your lardship, a snug woman, in Pill-lane; and
Molly is a gossip o' my own; an' I'll go bail for her, and for them too, along wid her."
"And who are you, too?"
"Peery Conolly, my lard," judiciously interrupted Molly, as Peery's stick, bayonet and all, began
to describe some flourishes round his head, and his nether limbs to shuffle; both movements
ominous of the usual rhyming answer, in his usual wayŚ"Peery Conolly, a dacent father's and
mother's child, though I say it."
"Deserted from Captain Rock, I presume."
"No, in throth, then, your honour," replied Peery, at once changing into a dry, simple subtlety of
voice, face and manner;Ś"I'll never deny there was a thrifle o' that same goin' on in the place;
but myself never loved nor liked their night-walkin', from a boy up; and sure they war for swarin'
me; an' when I wouldn't, an' for fear they'd be angry, faith I cums away from them all to where's
there's pace an' quietness; so there's the holy and blessed thruth, your honour, since your honour
put us on sayin' id."
"Well, we shall not question your loyalty, though we may take that freedom with your simpliciiy;
and, on reflection, your respectable bail will do. Here," to an officer, "hold this money, and see
the poor girls safe out of town."
"Glory to you!" screamed Molly.
"Long may you reign!" chimed Peery; "an' come now, a-vourneens; we'll have you safe back,
any howŚMurther!Śan interruption," as he glanced to the door, "murther in Irish! stand out o'
the way, there! hurroo!"
With one of his hop-step-and-jumps, Peery hurled himself through the people between him and
the door, and instantly re-entered, prancing and capering round Daniel Nowlan, and making the
peaceful office ring to his egotistical song, which the officers in vain tried to quell.
"Do you know who brought you a bit of the road in the shay, this morning, Peggy, a corra-ma-
chree?" asked the old man, smiling through his tears, after long embraces had been interchanged
between him and his daughters.
She was about to answer, when another bound and another cry from Peery, and the question
ofŚ"What brings any thievin' sodger here?" again diverted her attention to the door; and,
looking up, John Nowlan appeared leaning against the jamb, pale, trembling, and, his eyes fixed
on his sisters, gasping with smothered emotion. At first they did not know him; and there was a
pause, during which Peery added, "Where's the sprong?" and approached the supposed intruder.
"Softly, man, softly," whispered John, beckoning him; "come here, let me hold you; I can hardly
stand; I am their brother, John Nowlan."
"Och, mille murthers! here, lane your best on me, poor boy! poor priest John!"
"They will not know meŚdo you think they will?"
Peggy had been slowly advancing, her eyes distended and fixed on him; her face set; he breathed
hard; his surprise and agony were declared in broken and wheezing sounds that "stuck i' the
throat:" she came nearer; he extended his arms; she fell in them with a joyful scream.
"That's your brother John, Anty," resumed old Daniel, as Anty looked and wondered.
"That man, Sir! oh, it must be true, for Peggy clings close to him, and you know him too, Sir;
but, dear father, you do not know the great relief this gives me; another time you shall. Now must
not I, also, embrace my poor brother?"
The father led her to his arms. Another yell burst from Peery: "Where's the sprong now, in
arnest?" he cried out. In wonder, terror, and, from different reasons, common abhorrence, the two
sisters clung to their brother, as the miserable Frank passed to the counter, his face haggard, his
eyes staring, and his step uneven.
John Nowlan, with permission of the magistrate, removed his father and sisters to a private room,
by which precaution they were saved from witnessing the horrors that ensued.
The officer, in whose custody Frank had entered, was about to lay his charges before the
magistrate, when the appearance of a third party interrupted him; namely, Mr. Long, and his civil
authorities, with Maggy Nowlan's mother, Mrs. Carey, and her son Phil. When Mr. Long beheld
his nephew, horror seemed to fix him to the spot; nor did the poor wretch himself remain
unmoved. Peery Conolly had sidled towards him, and addressed him in a confidential
"Why thin, tunder-an'-turf! what sort iv an ownshuck was you, at-all-at-all, to walk in here, of all
places in the world wide? I didn't let out the laste word about you; an' if you have as much
gumption in your head as a suckin' calf, you'll bid good-b'ye to 'em all round, or not wait for that
same, but run for your lifeŚThe Lord o' Heaven save us!"Śsuddenly interrupting himself, and
stepping back, terrified at the expression of face with which his advice was received.
The culprit first fixed his eyes on those of the speaker with a deep, steady despair: his manacled
hands slightly moved under his watch-coat; and then his eye contracted; every muscle of his face
and body winced, and he drew in and bit his under lip, as if from a sudden sensitiveness of acute
pain. The next moment, his features again relaxed; his eye began to grow fixed and glassy; he
swayed from side to side, and would have fallen, but for the support of those near him.
As all looked on aghast, something dropped at his feet. The officer stooped, and took it up. It was
a large clasp-knife, smeared with blood; and blood also trickled to the floor, as his person bent
forward. Disguising his motions, beneath the loose watch-coat, he had, while staring into Peery
Conolly's face, stabbed himself to the core of the heart.
After a moment, he raised his drooping head, and glared vacantly around, until his dulled eye
rested on his trembling uncle: "All I could do for you, Sir," he gasped out, smiling hideously,
"was thisŚit saves me from the hangman's hands."
He again fell forward. He was borne out; but, before he reached a neighbouring hospital, was a
When the confusion occasioned by this sudden catastrophe had some-what subsided, Mr. Long,
though shaken in his very soul, was obliged to proceed in his charges against Mrs. Carey and her
son. The young murderer shivered with despair under the anticipation of his fate; but his mother
showed no emotion. Her clothes torn, and her hair dishevelled, she stood, with folded arms,
upright and passive as a statue; and her large and once beautiful black eye, full of the hyena
character, that for many years had belonged to it, was fixed, unwinkingly, now on her accusers,
now on the magistrate. She did not frown, but her calm, savage glare was appalling.
"Wretched woman," said the magistrate, "do you not tremble?"
"Find that out by your larnin'," folding her arms harder; "or, here"Ś suddenly catching the hand
of a near officer, and pressing his fingers upon her pulse; "does yours bate fuller or evener?" And
when the man turned away in disgust, he related that the throb was steady and regular as that of
innocence at rest.
Mr. Long, his sad and stern task over, sought the room whither John Nowlan had conveyed the
old man and his sisters. David Shearman was now added to their circle. All left Dublin
"Dear Barnes,
"It was about a month after this day that, in my wanderings among the black Tipperary hills, I
became acquainted with the Nowlans, and learned their history. John Nowlan was then suffering
under the relapse of a fever, which, accompanied by racking pains in his bones, had seized him
the day he crossed his father's threshold. When, about nine months after, I paid the family
another visit, I found him restored to health, and, in a degree, to his peace of mind; once more
engaged in studious pursuits, and once more habited in black. His misfortunes and experience
had thrown a quiet sadness over him: and the humility of sin acknowledged and repented,
stamped every feature of his face, and characterized his every look, tone, and motion. He told me
he entertained hopes that he would soon he able to soothe his recollections of early crime and
sorrow by the discharge of the duties of that sacred profession, to which, under the direction of
Mr. Kennedy and his bishop, he was again permitted to look forward.
"Before I left Daniel Nowlan's truly hospitable roof, on this, my second visit, I had the pleasure
of being bridesman to David Shearman, upon the auspicious night of his marriage with my gentle
favourite, Peggy. She was married by Mr. Kennedy: Friar Shanaghan, after an excellent day's
'quest,' handing round the bridecake for his secular brother; and Mr. Long, at his own anxious
request, gave her away. It was as merry a night as ever I passed. What with good cheer, dancing,
and unlimited mirth on every hand, I was in such riotous spirits, that I whispered at Anty's ear
my hope of a speedy opportunity of dancing at her wedding, also. The little rogue told me, archly
enough, 'it was a great shame, so it was, to be putting such quare things into a child's head;' but,
when, by some pleasant reasoning, I had led her to believe the contrary, she engaged me at once
to look out for her; adding, 'that if I didn't bring her one that was too little, or one that was too
big, or one that was too old, or one that was too ugly, I would not find her very hard to be
pleased.' We proceeded in much question and answer, as to the precise kind of man she might
really prefer, and I found her, as yet, undetermined. She did, indeed, with more of archness than I
suspected her for, give myself some hard knocks, by way of jocular hints: in fact, Barnes, I will
talk with you upon this subject, as I consider you a person of more experience in such matters
than I am.

Divorce rising among older couples
When you see an older couple happily celebrating their 50th or 60th wedding anniversary, you can't help but congratulate and respect them for achieving such a milestone.
Unfortunately, not all older couples can claim this achievement.
The divorce rate among adults age 50 and older doubled between 1990 and 2010, according to a study by Susan L. Brown and I-Fen Lin, sociologists at Bowling Green State University.
"Roughly one in four divorces in 2010 occurred to persons aged 50 and older," they said in their study, which was released in November.
What's more, "the rate of divorce was 2.5 times higher for those in remarriages vs. first marriages, whereas the divorce rate declined as marital duration rose."
The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world, with roughly 45 percent of marriages expected to end in divorce, the study said.
"Although divorce has been studied extensively among younger adults, the research to date has essentially ignored divorce that occurs to adults aged 50 and older," Brown and Lin said. "This omission is notable, considering that the United States is an aging society."
Baby boomers were the first group to divorce and remarry in large numbers in young adulthood, the study said.

For one of the local groups appearing at the Gulf Coast Ethnic & Heritage Festival, the showcase provided by Saturday's free "Jazz in Bienville" concert could hardly come at a better time.
Acoustic quintet Roman Street, which will play the first set of the afternoon, is on the verge of releasing "Shorelines," its third full studio album. They'll play at Serda's tonight and hold a full release party at the BlueGill on Tuesday.
But "Jazz in Bienville" is just the kind of public event where Roman Street's music has turned countless passersby into fans in recent years.
Roman Street's instrumental music isn't the easiest to summarize in words. It blends elements of contemporary flamenco, Latin and European music, with a strong element of jazz improvisation. The mix of instruments, including steel- and nylon-string guitars, congas and djembe, is unusual.
What's more relevant is the feel. Roman Street's music demands above-average technique, particularly from guitarists Josh and Noah Thompson, but appreciating it doesn't require any special effort on the part of listeners.
It simply flows, usually in a manner that captivates listeners of all ages. And that's a reason why the group, barely three years old, has already been featured three times at the Florida Panhandle's prestigious Seabreeze Jazz Festival.
And flow is just what the music does on "Shorelines," from the sunny opening track "San Jose" down to the gently urgent closer, "De Sol a Sol."
There are ballads and faster-paced numbers. In a first, there are outside players contributing other instruments such as cello, piano and accordion. Noah Thompson describes it as "the fullest Roman Street sound on an album to date."
The project's roots go back to spring 2009, when the band released its last album, "Amore."
"We had enough stuff, almost, for two albums, at the time of 'Amore'," said Noah Thompson. Some of those tunes received further development. Djembe player Nik White wrote some more, as did Josh Thompson. (The other group members are Jason Sikes on bass and Daniel Brett on congas.)
Even after they went into the Tracking Room studio in Nashville, new things kept happening.
"De Sol a Sol," for example, had never been rehearsed before the day the band tried it in the studio.
Josh Thompson said that for the first time, Roman Street members intentionally built space into the songs for additional instruments. They then brought in two Nashville session players to add additional textures.
Wes Harson's cello work shows on several songs, and is featured prominently on "Gypsy Jane." Michael Rojas, whose credits include work with country group Lady Antebellum, played piano, other keyboards and even accordion.
"This album encompasses a lot of variety," said Josh Thompson. "It encompasses our songwriting."
The Thompson brothers said that on one level, the sound of the album is a reflection of the Mobile area's eclectic, multicultural heritage. And that's important to them, because they've made a conscious decision to stay in the area.
"We could move to Nashville or New York and sleep on park benches and play and play and play and hope somebody noticed us," said Noah Thompson.
Partly, it's that blockbuster success in the music business is such a long shot, he said. Partly, it's because they've realized they can "build a business" along the central Gulf Coast, cultivating a fan base from New Orleans to Destin, rather than "throwing darts in the dark."
And that approach has paid off in unexpected ways. Their first Seabreeze appearance was the first time band members ever got a "rock star type feeling" from listeners, Josh Thompson said. Being featured at that one event also introduced them to listeners from outside the region.
"Now we have fans all over the eastern U.S., from places we've never played," Noah Thompson said. "Fortunately, our music appeals to a generation that still tends to buy CDs."
The project has already gone "a lot further than I ever conceived," he said.
"We're not really seeking fame here," he said. "We're never going to be mainstream. But that doesn't mean you can't make music that positively impacts people. That's what keeps me going."

Now it's time to enjoy living here, and, most importantly, get in the Christmas spirit since we're only two weeks out! It's feeling a little bit weird with no snow, and only slightly cool weather (I'm wearing sweaters anyway, dang it), but finally having the tree up is helping, and this week I plan to read lots of Christmas books with my boys, make lots of Christmas treats, do lots of Christmas activities, and maybe even turn on the fireplace if we can stand the heat. It's looking to be a great week.

ALLENTOWN — You worry about Jason Pridie.
You worry, because he isn't worrying for himself.
Neither is his new team.
Pridie tested positive for a "drug of abuse" this past spring training while with the Oakland A's. It was his second positive test; the first came in 2006. The second cost him the first 50 games of this season.
A professional lefty hitter with moderate power, a second-round pick of the Rays in 2002 who finally got a good taste of the majors with the Mets last season, Pridie, 28, is scorching now for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. He is hitting .370 with a homer and six RBI in 12 games. He is elated to have a second baseball life, unconcerned about testing positive again, which would be an almost certain baseball death.

I know it's good for me but I need some creative or tasty ways to prepare it! I do not find it tasty at all! I would appreciate an recipes that may bring me to be a 'kale-lover'.
First of all, don't eat anything you don't like. Life's too short.
However... this is one of my favorite recipes and you won't be able to taste the kale.
[SIZE=1][U]Indian Lamb and Sweet Potatoes[/U][/SIZE]
1 lb ground or minced lamb shoulder or leg
1 medium-sized onion, quartered and sliced thin
2 Tbs minced fresh ginger
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric or curry
7 cups black kale, finely chopped
4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
16 oz chicken or bone broth
salt and white pepper to taste
Heat 1 TBS chicken broth in large, stainless steel braising pot or skillet. Saute onion, garlic, ginger, and lamb in broth over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stir frequently. Add garam masala, and turmeric, mixing well for about half minute. Add 1 cup broth and stir in sweet potatoes and kale.
Simmer medium/low heat covered for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, until lamb, potatoes, and kale are tender.
Season with salt and pepper
[B]Hot fat[/B]!
I don't like the term "kale chips" but tossing them with salt, vinegar, and olive oil and baking makes them crispy.
If you do dairy, all dark greens taste good in a skillet with alfredo sauce or a simpler combo of butter + garlic + grated parmesan/romano. I usually cheat and use the roasted garlic paste in a jar. You can cook A LOT of greens in a little sauce since they shrink rapidly.
I found[URL="http://ask.metafilter.com/65287/It-aint-easy-cooking-green#981334"] this recipe[/URL] for "molested kale salad" a couple of years ago and it's unbelievable. I'm not a fan of kale either. But when you massage it it turns into some kind of wonderfulness. I've made that several times and have been asked for the recipe more than any other thing I've ever made.
I second the kale chips!
I third the kale chips!
And when they are really dry and crispy, you can crumble them up and use them as a topping or addition to just about anything.
I'm so excited to be growing 3 kinds of kale this year :)
[url=http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/search.do?keywords=kale]Kale recipes - Recipes - BBC Good Food[/url] check out this link as it has some different style of cooking kale.
Easy stuff:
- prepare your kale (rinse, remove the branches)
- in a frying pan, prepare some bacon strips and once done, keep the fat
- if you are not afraid of fat, add some butter or ghee to the bacon fat, or duck fat for the flavor
- toss your kale into the fat, stir regularly and add some flavor like garlic and onion powder, sweet paprika powder, dried rosemary, etc - whatever you like. Salt and pepper of course, you can also add some pine or pumpkin seeds
- take the pan off the heat, and while it is still warm, add a dash of heavy cream and stir until completely mixed. You can also add a tsp of Dijon mustard if you want some sharpness to the taste
Enjoy as is or with a chunk of meat.
I've never been happy with kale cooked on a stove. But kale chips are nice, and I like to put frozen kale in smoothies (they have this at whole foods, at least).
I agree with not eating anything you don't like. There are > 20,000 edible plants on the planet, so choking down one that you don't like seems off. I once tasted kale, didn't like it, but didn't want to throw the rest of it away and so made kale chips. Not bad, and kept me from putting perfectly good food in the dumpster. But all in all, I'd rather put that money toward something I like that is as or more nutritious.

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are the largest living species of fish, capable of growing more than 40 feet in length.
Schools of whale sharks have been witnessed in the past, ranging from several individuals up to a few dozen in number. However this new research, which involved both surface and aerial surveys, has revealed an enormous aggregation of whale sharks — the largest ever reported. There were 420 individuals counted in a group off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. What brings them together is food.
"Whale sharks are the largest species of fish in the world, yet they mostly feed on the smallest organisms in the ocean, such as zooplankton," explained Mike Maslanka, biologist at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and head of the Department of Nutrition Sciences. "Our research revealed that in this case, the hundreds of whale sharks there had gathered to feed on dense patches of fish eggs."
While whale sharks may seem conspicuous, being not just the longest but also the heaviest living fish, weighing more than 39 tons in some cases, there is still much to learn about them. They have a very widespread distribution, occurring in all tropical and sub-tropical oceanic regions around the world. Understanding this filter-feeder's diet is especially important, since food sources determine much of the whale shark's movements and whereabouts.
Barcoding AnalysisDuring the dozens of surface trips that Smithsonian team members made to this group off Mexico, which has become known as the 'Afuera aggregation,' they used fine nets to collect food samples inside and immediately outside the school of feeding whale sharks.

"Having DNA barcoding is an incredibly valuable resource for this research," confirmed Lee Weigt, head of the Laboratories of Analytical Biology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. "It not only allowed us to know what exactly this huge aggregation of whale sharks were feeding on, which is very difficult from just a physical observations of eggs, but it also revealed a previously unknown spawning ground for little tunny."
Shifting PopulationsThe team of scientists examined a nearby, less dense assembly of whale sharks, described as the 'Cabo Catoche aggregation', off the northern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula. They found that the prey of this group mostly consisted of copepods (small crustaceans) and shrimp. Increased sightings at Afuera coincided with decreased sightings at Cabo Catoche, and both groups had the same sex ratio, implying that the same animals were involved in both aggregations.
"With two significant whale shark aggregation areas and at the very least one active spawning ground for little tunny, the northeastern Yucatán marine region is a critical habitat that deserves more concerted conservation effort," said Maslanka.
The whale shark is listed as 'vulnerable' with the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Populations appear to have been depleted by harpoon fisheries in Southeast Asia and perhaps incidental capture in other fisheries over recent years.

I meant "I " and "have". I'm sorry about the typos.
Interesting article! vI hope that everyone's Saturday is going great and I hope that they have a great week! I also hope that they had a great Flag Day!

That goes for last year and all the other years that I've missed,as well. I'm also sorry about not commenting so soon,but I received this newsletter late and I had to go to bed.

It appears as though the inevitable has finally happened and that a Katy Perry sex tape video has been leaked to the Internet.
As you can see in the video clip below, it looks like Katy Perry was filmed during one of her typical Friday nights out, having sex with a number of partners in a variety of positions.
Really the only surprising thing in this Katy Perry sex tape video is that she was able to orally service 3 men at once, proving that despite what many people think, Katy Perry actually does possess some talent.
Who knows with more practice one day Katy Perry may have the ability to suck off one of our enormous Muslim meat sticks. Which would finally give meaning to her life, and spare her (for a time) from the righteous stoning she certainly deserves.

Ladies and gentleman, I realize that we are all suffering due to tough economic and social issues. But there is a question of great importance that must be answered, due to the magnitude of this question, please take a second to ponder this before you answer…
Q….What size rodent does our resident injun Arapaho Native stick in his ass.
Thumbs up for large rodents ( rats, guinea pigs, etc )
Thumbs down for small rodents ( mice, gerbils, etc )
I realize that this notorious homo's fetish is thoroughly disgusting but I thank you for your cooperation.
This is not an scientific poll…( margin of error + or – 3% )

"I feel as though buffalo cock should be an option…..because that's reality", that sounds more like a confession of your own homosexual obsessions.
So what you're saying is that you feel like taking buffalo cock is a option in your life and you've come to reality with that? There's no way you could've made yourself look stupider.
Poll Taker
That fact the you chose a name that could be so easily manipulated into homosexual acts already proves your stupidity. In fact, it's possible "poll taker" us one of Hashims personas, and it matches his text and disgusting animal ideas in almost every way, but then again, this is just intelligence working, as I look through every plausible options
Hashim the destroyer of Evil
"Poll" was a typo. Since the beginning he meant "pole".
Arapaho Native
Idiot, unless you're are him, which you probably are, then he can say it himself, dumb ass. What are you talking about? That's exactly what he meant, a poll for that homo-retarded idiocy he was ranting. You just keep getting stupid and stupider.

Grand Dragon Pete your a homosexual i have read all of your comments and they all have gay undertones and most of them talk about black men and Muslims being fucked up the ass you are writing your fantasies as a thinly veiled insult they're also covert sexual advances so stop living a lie and just admit it you're gay and you love black cock deep inside you just like your mama and your daddy ……………………………………………………. na na na na………….. na na na na……… hey hey hey……….you're gay

Moron Moshe
You dumb ass, the way you weakly lash out at me is immature. I'm not the one that's a pimply teen, it makes more sense that you're the teenager, since you still lamely cling to homosexual insults and the way you ignorantly lash out at every other race shows that you obviously have not grown up.
Dense Idiot Pete
You're not correct on this, idiot.
But then again, I don't actually care what you or any of you losers think, and the truth is, none of know anything about me, other them very little details, and actually, I would like to keep it like that. Even though the explanation I gave was completely logical and since you none of you morons found a contradiction, you instead lamely repeated it, and twisted it into what you wanted to be.
Also, "donkeyfuck.com"?, I've never heard or said anything about it, yet you widely acknowledge it and it only makes sense that you've witnessed it first hand, moron.
Moshe Dayan
No one give a fuck that you are bored , boredom seems to be your standard reply.
Real Arapaho Indians are too busy running their casinos and duty free shops to give a shit about posting on this site. From your posts I can tell you are tearing soundbites from really lame websites to try to pass himself off as an Indian but you really have demonstrated fuck all knowledge of Indians, you didn't even know what a status Indian was when I mentioned it in a previous post. What a poseur.
From the bitchiness in your posts, I would guess that you are also a fag, probably someone's bottom-boy who's miserable because daddy didn't take him to pound town last night. As for your career, you ain't no law student. Stocking shelves at Wal-Mart is more along the lines of the blue collar intelligence I am seeing, not to put down Walmart employees.
Go gulp down some firewater and curl up in a smallpox infested blanket shithead, descend into a suicidal bender and do us all a favor so we don't have to read your whining fratboy comments.

Haha, can't you ever think of anything else to say? After your moronic opinion of my boredom, you just repeat yourself from other posts, literally. I can't believe you said I had reached my intellectual level, you can't really reach an intellectual end unless you're forced to repeat homo-retarded insults day after day.
I have revealed fuck all knowledge of Native Americans? Ha, you unaware dumb ass, I he been correcting you since you first started ranting, you dumb shit. I guess the stupid really are easily reassured.
White Knight
Where the hell is drunken injun I wonder? I see that he's been posting all over the place but not on this page yet. I would hate to have him thinking that we were cowards talking behind his back again…..Ha……I see that you caught him in a little "red" lie on another page when apparently he had stated some time ago that he was a practicing lawyer for some law firm when in fact he was not. And his response to you when you called him out on it was basically yeah so what. Makes me wonder what else he might be lying about, maybe his sexual preference, or maybe whether or not he is in fact an Native American, hell for all we know he could be some delusional Black man that thinks he would be better off by pretending that he was an Indian….yeah I know it sounds crazy right, but them injuns get more of a free ride than almost anyone else…..something to think about anyways.
Hashim the destroyer of Evil
Jews and superfag Pete,
You are right this time. The injun Red Poo is a fake.
Although he likes gay dances, booze and taking in the ass, he is nothing else than an rejected ignorant teenage, living in the basement, looking for the attention of a father that he doesn't know who is.
Grand Dragon Pete is gay
you are a pleb
hasim is a pleb
hashim is making a sexual advance towards pete and pete will probably accept coz they are both gay for david cassidy
Hashim the destroyer of Evil
Red Poo,
Don't be a coward. Your disguises are useless.
Your pathetic posts are shit. Everybody already knows with whom we are dealing.
Arapaho Native
Slow, White Idiot
The reason I was not here was because I tend to focus on my arguments and I hadn't noticed a new post until recently. Also, it's ironic that you accused me of complaining, except that this is exactly what you are doing, complainging about me since you dislike me so much, since you have never won a argument before.
Also, I had been telling truths, but the reason I told Moshe something that hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it's untrue, and the only reason you're dragging this unproved idea is because this is the only thing you will have on me, a weak, unintelligent idea. The fact that I gave a statement without contradictions only strengthens my reply.
And of course you bring up "sexual preferences", you're so obsessed with homosexuality, the fact that you can't keep homo's out all of your posts only proves what I was saying earlier.
You know what, whether you think I'm Native or black, I don't give a shit, I believe what I said and the less you know about me the better.
Free ride? Typical dense, racist loser.
Hashim Grannyfucker
Oh, wow, the way you stupidly assume things is incredible. What it is, is dumb, homo-filled humor that no real adult uses.
Disguises? Ok, project your paranoia on everyone else without any evidence, its better if you look more like a moron.
Also, don't steal your grannies social security check, it's rude(also simultaneously implying that you're in America, since it's a U.S social social security).
My pathetic posts are shit? If there enough to prove you're a fake and a "Grannyfucker", then it's good enough for me, asshole.
Hashim the destroyer of Evil
Red Poo,
You are a lost case of dementia and paranoia.
Give to your small little brain a break, please. It needs a rest. Seriously.
Arapaho Native
As I have some above, the reason why you can't think of anything better then pathetic put downs, is because you are a dense idiot that can't even defend himself, and that is why all you can come up with is "Red Poo", god, that even worse then "Ara Poo", both of them are incredibly stupid and immature.
Moshe Dayan
Fucking lame response, you're fucking pwned Boy! Celebjihad isn't rocket science, you don't have to even think about most of your replies but you found one of the few ways possible to actually FUCK UP and for that you deserve the nomination for the "Celebjihad Loser of 2013 Award".
If there's one thing at muslims, jews, klansmen, Iranian terrorists and lesbodykes agree on, it's that they hate pretend Indians who are self confessed liars and also do imposter posts. I wouldn't doubt it if you also are the same fag doing the "Firsties" posts too.
I lean toward the idea you are a bitchy little self loathing fag who spends your nights tongue bathing nutsacks and they day selling slurpees at 7-11. Or you could be that zit faced loser who handed me my mac and fries and asked me if I "wanted ketchup with that".
But you are right, who the fuck cares who you are, zero.
As for your "Winning arguments"….well you're outed as a total fool on this site boy. Personally I would bury Arapaho Injun out behind the outhouse, where he belongs, and move on but maybe you're a sucker for punishment.
Eat shit and die mofo.
White Knight
In your reply to me you said "but the reason I told Moshe something that hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it's untrue." So with that logic if I was to go around saying that I am fucking your wife even though it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean it's untrue? You very well might intend on trying to become an lawyer, but until you actually graduate from law school and start a practice or join a firm, you're not an actual lawyer. A lie is a lie no matter how you want to sugar coat it or twist it around. Admit that you were caught and that'll be the end of it. You also said that I dislike you, I don't even know you, but what I do dislike is someone that assumes that he is smarter than everyone else and also assumes that everyone else here is an idiot.
@Moshe/Goldberg Let me guess, YOU never done impostor posts, right? (Sarcasm) Do not be a hypocrite.
Moshe Dayan
It's ok to be an imposter? Are you trying to tell us, in some queer code way, that you are also Arapa-whore Injun? Would make sense.
Thats another thing. I've noticed you've sucked up to Arapahomo on numerous occasions like you two homos smoke the "peace pipe" together. Now he's been outed you suddenly jump in to defend him even though he's fucked up your muslim brothers in a very personal way on numerous occasions. Sounds kind of like a traitor, wouldn't you say…and while I detest muslims, I hate traitors even more. I'll have to check the IDF records, maybe you're on our list as a secret "friend" of Israel. Now you mention it, I remember seeing an "Arach…" or something like that as one of our top Gazan informers.
That bang you just heard was the mosque door slamming on your nose. I'd be keeping eyes in the back for the Liberation Army of Gaza death squad that is coming your way. Final Destination is on its way for you pal, five pissed of islamic militants, a blunt damascus steel scimitar, a long draping banner with islamist graffitti and a camcorder are in your immediate future.
Eat shit and die mofo
@Moshe/Goldberg Wow. You do not sarcasm when it hits you, right? No, I am not Arapho or anyone else. I never have used any other accounts or impersonating others. Why? That is very childish and completely beneath my station. YOU on the other hand did this. That is why I am calling you out. Only because of that.
Sucking up? Keep dreaming. I could say the same thing to you. Why are you suddenly take the side of Pete or the others?
No. Just wondering about the history of the Native Americans. Also, I greatly dislike Pete with his delusions and disgusting homosexual tinted and childish 'insults'.
My Muslim brothers can fend for their selves. I am not their babysitter. You should have known that I already defended them and the Islamic Faith a LOT of times against YOU, Pete and many others. So you are very wrong.
Informer or traitor? Wow. You must have read too much of those spy romans. Sorry, kid, but I shall always be welcome in any mosques.
IDF records? Sure. Keep on looking in some papers that you never had in the first place.
Pissed of militants…blah…blah. Not even close.
I know that you probably are going to reply to this. Do not. Everything has been said. There is nothing more to say by you or me.

Idiot Moshe
Congratulations Moshe, you now resemble a toddler throwing a tantrum. "Blah blah….fake indian!….tongue bathing nutsacks! ..blah..", you sound even younger then a teenager. Fucking lame response? I don't think so, but believe whatever make you feel better, idiot kid. I found a way to fuck up? Ha, that's probably the stupidest thing I heard all day, I haven't fucked up, I made one small mistake(compared to the many times you have been wrong, proven by me or Arcachnar) and now it's idiotically being manipulated my a group of morons with a pathetic vendetta against me, simply because they all have been bested at arguing and that is why you hate me, a immature reason like that. Holy shit, does this idiot really think he ever beat me at anything? *Scoffs* You know what's pathetic, the best thing you have on me is one mistake that has an explanation with no contradictions, and you childishly twist it into what you want to be. Lame.
Arapaho Native
White Trash
Moron, I have already admitted to not being a lawyer yet, but I never said anything about not being in law school, and there are no accidents there. What kind of dumb logic did you twist mine in? You see, my logic simply meant I am in law school, I have not graduated yet but soon enough, but then you compare it to something like "fuck my wife", you see, you'd have to know me and my wife first before you could "fuck her yet", so it can't work there, you need the too start logically, you moron.
I have not been caught, you moron, none of you have found any other evidence or contradictions around my response, so you continue to use the original accusation without any logical evidence and it's obvious you haven't looked though any other possibilities, so really your stuck like an imbecile. Enjoy repeating yourself for the third time, idiot.
Arapaho Native
Whiny Jew
You stupid fuck, keep wishing that Arcachnar is me, it's the best you can do. We may sound alike, but that's only because we use intelligence to win arguments, not immature, homo insults, like the ones you constantly use all the time. Me and Arcachnar are completely different users, and me and him know that, so it really doesn't even fucking matter if you think so. The only thing you can connect us is the way we argue, thats it, pathetic.
Moshe Dayan
You're a pathetic loser.
If you were as intelligent as you say you wouldn't be the celebjihad-bitch-for-the-day with everyone laughing at your idiocy. Like White Knight said, what else are you lying about?

And he calls me the teenager, sorry, the evidence is not with you, Goldberg.

Asshole Native
Show me where I said that you were not in law school, you can't fuck head because I never said that. I said until you graduate from law school and start a practice or join a firm, then you are not a lawyer, you're just some asshole that lied about it. Then when I quoted you when you said "but the reason I told Moshe something that hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it's untrue ." And I said what if I go around saying that I was fucking your wife even though it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it's untrue. Your response was that it wasn't logical because I would have to know you and your wife first before I could fuck her………Well no fucking shit! It also means that you would have to graduate and pass the Bar exam in order to be able to call yourself a lawyer! Until that happens you are just some lying asshole who thinks that he is so fucking smart and doesn't have the balls or dignity to admit that he is full of shit. And your statement that I quoted above is an contradiction in itself.
White Knight
And one more thing you red prick, I'm getting a little sick of you constantly saying that you never lose an argument to anyone here, exactly what fucking argument have you won against me?! Name it asshole. The other day when I believe this back and forth started between us, it had something stupid to do with the number of floors the Aspire Tower had, when you being the little dick head that you are, had to try and look it up so you could make a feeble attempt to try and make Hashim look bad. And I basically said who gives a shit about how many floors there were or not. So I am scratching my head trying to think of when you got the best of me or anyone else for that matter. You really come across to me as some delusional fuck that thinks he is an legend in his own mind……Reality check…..you're not. What fucking color is the sky in your world I wonder?

You just don't get it. Nobody is here to have an "intellectual" conversation or argument. Have you no clue what this site is? This is the comments section on the USA Today website, its fucking celebjihad.com! All of use here "dumb it down" because that's what this site is for. This is what makes you the butt of the joke, you're not in on it, you are the joke. It takes some intelligence to understand satire, and you don't understand it.
I know myself and others on here could have quite a discussion/argument regarding different political and philosophical beliefs, but that's NOT what this site is for. Its great that you think you're smart, it really is, but nobody here thiks that's the case, mainly due to the fact that you just don't get it.
I'll close with this:

Arapaho Native
Ignorant White Moron
You dumb ass, I never said that you said I'm not in law school, I just simply said I never said it, idiot. I had lied before, prick, but if you trained your thoughts on something else other then your pathetic vendetta against me, then you might've noticed that I had earlier admitted to Moshe about it before this,
My logic was completely relevant , it's yours that's flawed, I meant that it hasn't happened yet, except it's definitely gonna happen, while your logic was simply based on "yet" without the concept of you fucking my wife is NOT gonna happen. Thats how our logic is different. And it's only a contradiction by itself, except if you had mentioned the rest of the argument, like my response, which is completely solid, then it wouldn't be a contradiction anymore. This is what I was saying, bringing out one thing to make it sound bad. I did say I never lost an argument, it's completely true, I almost always get the last post(unless someone replies when I've already moved on) and I always use logic to argue, while the rest of you are calling each other "homos" and insulting each others race for no smart reason, and that is why logic wins against immature arguments, asshole. Don't say you're not immature or childish, because you have definitely said enough to convince me. When I've won against you? Whenever we've argued and that's the truth, since you only argue with idiotic thing such as Race and sexual preferences, and there's no way that can win against intelligence. If you're trying to act smart now, then theres no way you can deny. I did look up the floors of Aspire Building, and I was completely right, I meant only the above ground floors(only ones that matter) and it's obvious Hashim or Abdullah didn't know what they were talking about, as I pointed out in the original argument.
Haha, please, if you're really that dense, look at our previous arguments, it's obvious by not replying is a hiding tactic when a user does not wanna continue, since he cannot win.

You see, I could have stooped to YOUR level and smear this place with fascistic remarks, delusions or homosexual tinted 'insults', but I do not. Using logic, common sense and all is how *I* counter petty arguments. IF you do not like it, go and whine to someone else who actually cares. 'Dumb it down'? I can see that you really do not have any trouble with that, right?

Hopefully in your "studies" that you are leaving the site for, you neglect to insist on the use of a latex condom with your cellmate, contract AIDs and die quickly. You'se gonna be somebodys bitch-boy, start picking out thong colors you like.
Like Big Pete said, you're so fucking stupid, you never figured it out. In the context of celebjihad, your statement that you are "winning arguments" just makes you look like an absolute idiot. No one wins anything here.
We have enough turds with delusions of self-grandeur walking around on Earth. It's about time we start to shed some. You won't be missed but your deep seated inadequacies and inferiority complex ( because in real life you are a loser and know it) will always bring you back for more ass kickings.

Yet another knob with a Spock identity crisis. If you believe you need to liberate the world with your brilliant logic, like that pwn Arapa-hole, sit in front of a mirror so you can admire your Greatness all day or find a site where someone gives a shit . This is celebjihad and you ain't winning nobel prizes for your posts here…imbecile.
Eat shit and die mofo
@Moshe Wait. This is Celebjihad? Wow. I *really* did not know that. *Sarcasme* Have not read that I already know for a LONG time that this is THAT sort of forum? I am just not someone who stoop that low. You will do things on your way and I do mine. IF you have a problem with that go and talk to someone else.
Spock identity crisis? Now you are making an elephant of a fly.
Want to know what is funny? All your dicks dont match up to one bbc. It is a fact that Muslims and honkeys have 1/4 size a dick as black men, Injuns have 1/8 the size dick as black men, and Asians have 1/100 the size dick of black men. This is why you are all so racist. Your small dick and weak bodies make you insecure. You are more lady boys then men.

WTF? Are you saying this site isn't a gay muslim cruising site where those old queens Anal Abdullah, Homo Hashim, Imam Kock-like, Anal-Lube-Is, Fagdul Arsehole and Ar-aching-anus cruise for young cock hookups and loads of warm hummus.
If it isn't then why are there so many of these shemales cruising it.
I figure you may as well change the name to "shemalejihad.com" and feature the photos these homoqueers really like such as pre-op queer googles with fake tits and big dicks taking muslims to pump town.
This site is homo muslim heaven.

She is quite adept at her feminine duties……….
……..but I would have guessed her tits were firmer and would not have "floppity-flopped" so much as "heaved"…….
It was wise of her publicist to release her dating application video……..she nneds to act quickly…..she was already discarded by the dirtiest goat-dog ever to soil the British "Empire"…
The filthy infidel predator drones captured footage of me fornicating with her breasts before I was able to shoot it down with my RPG, right after I shot a load in Perry's face.
Imam Khalid
What a disgusting slattern! Then again I am not shocked she was sexually corrected by the two small cocked infidel men she enticed and led on with her whorish clothing and heathen dancing.
If she'd worn a burka and not left the house without a male escort, she would not have been 'raped'.
what kind of stupid ignorant fool would accept allah a false god. and mohammed a thieving lying murdering childmolesting hatefull cowered.. you muslims will burn in hell for worshipping the devil the whole none muslim world are learning the truth about your evil sick twisted cult you will all be killed.. muslims are the most useless stupid people on earth proof god hates you.. none muslims are superior none muslims have done everything for the world muslims have done nothing for the world FACT

You've just confirmed what all on this site suspected:
1. Googles are fucking stupid
2. Googles are butt pumping homos
We'll put you in a cell with Black Knight and let you two melon-head apes do what comes naturally. It'll make a good anthropological study of primitive man, maybe even be good enough for a mention in National Geographic.

@Moshe/Goldberg Kwame IS Black Knight. They are the same person
I am Black Knight you fucking retard. I thought I made this clear. I changed my name because morons like pig fucker Pete, Homo Hashim, and who knows who else was impostering me.

The gang bang you starred in last night at the Tikrit gloryhole made the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest muslim clusterfuck and bukkakke session ever recorded.

You are the biggest gay known in the Eastern world and the most boring mofo ever.
And I wouldn't call what your mother did a gang bang. She pulled a train on a herd of camels and fucked all of them into a depression and gave them some kind of VD which has caused their nuts to swell and turn green.
If them camels die, all you assholes will eat the AK-47.

The reason us Muslims don't fire a scud missile into israel is because we know that you can bend over and take it up the ass.
and until you die from AIDS…we ain't wasting a good missile that would be lost in your over-sized rectum.
Abdullah The Butcher
And another reason we won't fire the scud missiles, is because they have piss poor accuracy and can't hit shit. But what can we do? That is by far our most advanced weapon, so that is why we revert to throwing the stones…..Fear us you Jews……..please
Abdullah The Butcher
fake abdullah
the scud missile is accurate enough to kill jews you scummy fag.
However, we have recently added the SCAT Missile to our arsenal. It consists of launching your mother from a catapult toward the jews and infecting them with her many forms of VD.
It is a true WMD!
Hashim the destroyer of Evil
Excellent idea brother Abdullah!
It could even become a weapon of mass destruction if it wasn't the case that most jews are homos.
Moshe Dayan
Homo Hashim,
For you fag muslims, its weapons of "ass destruction" that you queers are trying to create. The muslim bomb is designed to blast off the pants, loosen the sphincter and destroy the last vertebrae of any soldier, causing them to bend over at the waist, of any soldier exposed to the "gaywave" it generates.
The next assault wave of muslims, seeing so much loose bent over ass on the battlefield will go insane charging forward, which is different from the typical running away the cowards do. We in the IDF will fight this "weapon" with kevlar underwear which is impenetrable to a puny muslim penis. Jews always prevail.
Eat shit and die mofo.
Abdullah The Butcher
that special kevlar underwear as you call it is known by another name in the rest of the world….its called depends.
all you homos have to wear it because you get the flabby sphincter from ass fucking.
that is toattly photoshopped

Greetings evryone!
I'm sure some of you remeber me promising an anti-Celebjihad campiagn to be manifested, and it has been done. I have included it in an article on the ABC news site, check it out here;
Apologies for the difficult segmentation, I had just posted this same comment a minute ago, but the comment is being 'awaited for moderation' and will most likely not make it to the comments, due to there being a link. All that you need to do to access the article is to copy and paste all the segments together in the URL, and the article should show up on your screen.
On some computers, there will be an error sign saying "Windows cannot find… Check the spelling and try again". If some of you were wondering, I have used a program were this link cannot be accessed by some computers, similar to tiny.url.
Sorry for the long wait folks, it took me a while for ABC to respond to my request, but I have a signed contract and the campiagn is good for launch.
Thank you for all the support of my coworkers and family

Arapaho Native
I want to be honest with the people of this site, being you are my only friends. After spending the afternoon smoking peyote and running a huge totem pole shaped dildo up my ass I have come to the realization that I am truly gay. Not a little gay, but really,really super gay. I'm the kind of homo who isn't offended by the smell of shit during sex. Matter of fact it turns me on. I actually like hanging out in the Arapaho reservation bathrooms so I can smell all the guys shit and jerk off. I never knew this was wrong because it feels so right. I have a need to have my ass filled with semen and I'm not afraid to admit it now. Anyone who is interested in some hot gay bareback sex please let me know. I don't mind being a top, but I prefer to be a submissive bottom.
Love Aparaho Native :-)
Pig fucker Pete is probably interested in dirty sex with you. Hes gettin tired of the white dicks goin in his ass. He wants a red one now.
Alissa C DiCarlo
You always seemed like that kind of homo to me so I'm not exactly surprised by this Lance Armstrong style admission.
Arapaho Native
Your right. It must have been easy to see. Being a power bottom is all I think about. I'm very lucky that there is plenty of gay men on my reservation. When I put on my tight jeans and belly shirt all the Arapaho men come running. I wish I could please them all, but so far I have been only able to take on two at a time. I would like to be stretched out enough to handle a DP. I will get there one day with plenty of practice. Thank you everyone for your support in me coming out :-)
I thought this was real. im getting real tired of your shit celebjihad

I am sorry for interupting, but everytime I am on this website, there are always fights between blacks,jews,whites, and muslims. The crazy thing is that it starts off a stupid little comment like for ex. FIRSTS and Mean insults to Muslims. I have one last thing to say, to all of the people who make impudent comments about Muslims, how would you like it if they owned u? Like I said, I am sorry for interupting…

ihate muslims n blacks go home
Boy are you dumb, read a history book or something .Blacks have been here on this continent since before there was a country (1600 1700 )ect. The Atlantic slave trade was banned in the U.S in 1808 the vast makeup of what would become todays black population was here by then. The far majority of whites came to the US after that time. Most whites that did arrived prior to that time came as indentured servants (slaves). Black people have fought in every US war including the battle for US independence, the same can not be said for the millions of white arrivals through Ellis island and other places.

TEHRAN - Iran launched a new production line of short-range, radar-evading cruise missiles, according to a report on the Islamic Republic's state-controlled media.
The new production line of short-range cruise missiles, dubbed Nasr I, which means "victory," can evade radar and are highly accurate, the report stated.
According to Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi, the missiles, which will be able to destroy targets as large as 1,000 tons, will be modified so they can be launched from helicopters and submarines.
Vahidi said it has taken two years to develop the Nasr I's production line, which will strengthen Iranian naval vessels.
As with most reports coming from the Islamic Republic's state media, the latest announcement cannot be independently verified.
Since 1992, Iran has put vast amounts of its resources into developing weaponry, missiles, tanks, torpedoes and jet fighter planes.

Cost Behavior; High-Low Method
Speedy Parcel Service operates a fleet of delivery trucks in a large metropolitan area. A careful study by the company's cost analyst has determined that if a truck is driven 120,000 miles during a year, the average operating cost is 11 .6 cents per mile. If a truck is driven only 80,000 miles during a year, the average operating cost increases to 13.6 cents per mile.
