Hi folks.
I eat Indian s hit. Lol.
Oink oink
I gotta tell you @Blue Saffron is my hero. He gave me religion. And a hole lotta love downstairs.
He is a beast yo chrissy.
Lol hey chrissy did ya know @banasy is in hospital for AIDS?
Oh, fuck off. Your stupid shit isn't funny. When are you going to do the world a favor and exit it?
I have ta admit @Blue Saffron gave us all the thrashing of a lifetime. He took us down. I dont know what to do now that I have sooo much time on my hands. But at least now I dont have to change IDs so many times. Lol
Had a great time gang rayping in New Delhi alongwith @banasy. Modi is great. He s ukked our sweaty bollz. Okay, my bollz as banasy as none. Lol!
Oh, fuck off. Your stupid shit isn't funny. When are you going to do the world a favor and exit it? Soon.
Who takes my name! I am in for an a bortion NOT AIDS. FYI
Yeah. Sure. I carried the baby in a backpack, obviously.
Adam, you're a fucking idiot.
A zz holes all ran away to India to s ukk Mod'i's wiener.
Yup, one goes ten other IDs disappear at same time. LMFAO
If you live in the USA and are an average American, you have a 1 in 50 chance of getting AIDS before you retire.
...the more condoms you go through the worse your odds become, btw.
Yes. Thank you Dr. Philip.
Those are CDC numbers. Not mine. I figure that most people who carry the AIDS virus don't even know it. The virus can hide in tiny little "cavities" in blood cells...vacuoles they are called. So tiny that antibodies are too large to fit into. And the virus can just lay there dormant for up to ten years, then "wake-up" and reprogram that blood cell's DNA to read RNA, and turn it into a little AIDS virus manufacturing facility. So my numbers are much worse than those reported by the CDC.
In 2010, the estimated number of new HIV infections among MSM (men having anal intercourse with other men) was 29,800, a significant 12% increase from the 26,700 new infections among MSM in 20082.
Although MSM represent about 4% of the male population in the United States4, in 2010, MSM accounted for 78% of new HIV infections among males and 63% of all new infections2. MSM accounted for 54% of all people living with HIV infection in 2011, the most recent year these data are available1.
While major media provided extensive and ongoing coverage of an Ebola virus outbreak that killed about 2,000 people (mostly foreigners), there has been a virtual media blackout of just how fast AIDS is spreading among US, how it is spreading, and exactly who are spreading it.
AIDS is about 10 thousand times more deadly than Ebola.
By CDC numbers, 78% of the American AIDS epidemic could be erased by simply quarantining 4 out of every 100 US men. Sort of like Ebola victims were quarantined without their civil rights being violated at all.
Hey! We can put them in the FEMA camps, right? That's not Hitleresque at all. And, of course, you can head the Gestapo Sex Police.
Because, of course, you would have to figure out who is fucking another man, with 100% accuracy....because you'd never make a mistake (that you'd ever admit to, anyhow.)
And don't forget to quarantine women who are HIV positive, too. Away from the men, naturally, because of...reasons. The dirty whores may actually breed with the bi-sexual men.
You could re-write history to make it palatable, such as:
"The Nazis provided free weight-loss facilities to millions of Jewish families."
Get crackin' on that idea. You're going to Save The World!
/sarcasm. Definitely sarcasm.
Germany's Fatherland Security forced labor camps were not Hitler's idea you dummy. No more than than the USA's Homeland Security Prisons were George W. Bush's idea. Get a clue.
And you liberals always attack anyone posting AIDS stats. It's not that I'm him ophobic. It's that millions of people like you are hom static. "Stop mixing in company with them if you do not wish to be like them and share in their sins and in their destruction" says the prophet.
Whatever, asshole. Whosever idea it was is immaterial; the point is that it was a profoundly cruel and ignorant thing to do then, and, and it is a profoundly ignorant thing to do now.
I don't attack your stats. Ishow me where I have! You can't, because I haven't. I attack you retarded idea to let it keep going unchecked because you're too much of a pussy to admit you don't know how to put on a condom.
You listen to the prophet NOW, after you have down your wild oats, just like every other raging hypocrite does when they see their own mortality in their sights.
Fuck off. You're a lying hypocrite. You'd have a lot more credibility if you were one of those 15-25 year olds talking about these things, instead of the old has-been whose majority of your life is behind you trying to control other people's behavior under the guise of "God days so!"
Almost Time for a Freedom Fighters list. Eh??
You're going to do it, regardless.
Dick Cheney walks into the Oval Office and sees The President whooping and hollering.
"What's the matter, Mr. President?" The Vice President inquired.
"Nothing at all, boss. I just done finished a jigsaw puzzle in record time!" The President beamed.
"How long did it take you?"
"Well, the box said '3 to 5 Years' but I did it in a month!"

A small tourist hotel was all abuzz about an afternoon wedding where the groom was 95 and the bride was 23.
The groom looked pretty feeble and the feeling was that the wedding night might kill him, because his bride was a healthy, vivacious young woman.
But lo and behold, the next morning, the bride came down the main staircase slowly, step by step, hanging onto the banister for dear life.
She finally managed to get to the counter of the little shop in the hotel. The clerk looked really concerned, "Whatever happened to you, honey? You look like you've been wrestling an alligator!"
The bride groaned, hung on to the counter and managed to speak, "Oh God! When he told me he'd been saving up for 75 years, I thought he meant his money!!"
A man went to his lawyer and said "I would like to make a will but I don't know exactly how to go about it."
The lawyer says "No problem, leave it all to me".
The man looks somewhat upset ... "Well I knew you were going to take the biggest slice, but I'd like to leave a little to my children too!
A father and his son go into the grocery store when they happen upon the condom aisle. The son asks his father why there are so many different boxes of condoms. The father replies, "Well, you see that 3-pack? That's for when you're in high school. You have 2 for Friday night and 1 for Saturday night."
The son then asks his father, "What's the 6-pack for?"
The father replies, "Well, that's for when you're in college. You have 2 for Friday night, 2 for Saturday night, and 2 for Sunday morning."
Then the son asks his father what the 12-pack is for.
The father replies, "Well, that's for when you're married. You have one for January, one for February, one for March, one for... "
What do you do with 365 used condoms?
Melt them down, make a tire, and call it a Goodyear.
Don't be so fu cking stupid Banasy.

And Abe Lincoln WAS two faced and in more than these two ways:
1. One side of his face was so disfigured that children used to cry at seeing that tall monster and his grotesque face for the first time.
2.) He preferred sleeping with men and his favorite man friend owned many slaves.
During a recent vacation in Las Vegas, a man went to see a popular magic show. After one especially amazing feat, a man from the back of the theater yelled, "How'd you do that?" "I could tell you, sir", the magician answered, "But then I'd have to kill you." After a short pause, the man yelled back, "Ok, then... just tell my wife!"...
An amateur magician accidentally turns his wife into a loveseat and his two kids into armchairs. He starts to panic. He tries every trick in book but none work so, in desperation, he decides to take them to hospital. Once at the hospital, the magician spends a sleepless night while the medical staff run numerous tests on the unfortunate woman and children. Finally, the head doctor comes out into the corridor to speak to the magician. "How are my family?" he asks worriedly, "Are they alright?" The doctor replies, "they're comfortable..."
In a fancy Paris restaurant, there is a magical wish-granting mirror. But it only grants wishes if you tell the truth - if you lie, you disappear. One day, a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead enter the restaurant and decide to try out the mirror. The brunette goes first. "I think I'm the smartest woman on earth." "POOF!" She disappears. The redhead goes up to try. "I think I'm the prettiest woman on earth." "POOF!" She disappears. The blonde goes up. "I think–" "POOF!
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says: "I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first! Me first!, says the administration clerk. I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!, says the sales rep. I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up" the Genie says to the manager. The manager says: "I want those two back in the office after lunch." Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Passenger delivers baby aboard flight
A passenger has given birth aboard a plane flying to Armenia and named her daughter after one of the flight attendants who helped with the delivery.
The birth of the healthy baby occurred Saturday, two hours before the Armavia airline flight landed in Yerevan, Armenia's capital, after a long flight from Siberia.
Flight attendant Asmik Gevondyan said she noticed that 31-year-old passenger Armina Babayan appeared to be in labor and organized the delivery.
"All of our crew helped to deliver the baby," Gevondyan told The Associated Press.
Babayan, who had claimed to be 6-and-a-half-months pregnant during check-in, named her first child Asmik, local television reported.

We just got home from our annual week-long hunting trip. While hunting is a big deal in our family, the trip itself is a lot of fun for other reasons. One of them is that my sister-in-law an I love to cook. Here is one of the recipes we had last week up at the cabin. It's one of Rick's favorites, that I'm happy to share.
This recipe serves about 4 people, but is easily doubled or tripled. I usually cook by feel so don't be afraid to taste as you go and adjust the ingredients to suit your own tastes. Depending on the size of your sweet potatoes, and the strength of your bourbon, the potatoes can be a little strong. It's best to start with a 2-3 tablespoons of bourbon and add more until you like the flavor. We like the potatoes bourbon-y but not boozy, if you know what I mean. 😉
Maple-Bourbon Sweet Potatoes
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup cream or half-and-half
¼ cup good bourbon +/-
¼ cup pure maple syrup
pinch of salt
Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot and add water just to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. Add the cream, syrup and bourbon with a pinch of salt to the potatoes and mix well. Serve hot with a seared back strap and a simple green salad.

I apologize once again for the usual reasons. First, for the length of time since last I posted–we've moved and that was more disruptive this time than the 44 other moves I've made as an adult.
Second, for returning to direct discussion of climate change, something that is closely connected to energy consumption but so controversial as to impede rather than inspire rational discussion. But as I don't see this elsewhere I want to write this here.
The physics behind the theory of global warming are solid. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, we're emitting industrial levels of it, a significant portion remains in the atmosphere for a fairly long time. This retards the cooling of the Earth and temperatures warm as a result.
One of the few non-controversial datasets in climate change is the Keeling curve, the graph of the concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere reproduced here:
We see concentrations rising steadily from 315 parts per million in 1960 to 395 ppm last year. It's close to 400 ppm now.
Human emissions of CO2 caused by burning of fossil fuels and production of cement have risen similarly:
Emissions have climbed at an even higher rate than concentrations.
And the third data source to look at (for simplicity's sake–we could actually look at dozens of data sources) is temperature changes. This chart shows the global average temperature change from a 'normal' 30-year range from 1950-1980. It comes from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, led by scientist James Hansen.
This shows a fairly constant rise in temperatures since 1978.
Once again, you don't have to be a climate scientist to think that there seems to be a connection. The physical theory published first by Svante Arrhenius over 100 years ago and elaborated on by a century's worth of scientists has observational evidence that tends to confirm it. I certainly believe in it.
In fact, I believe that global temperatures will probably rise by about 2 degrees Celsius over the course of this century. The difference in estimated temperature rises from different sources almost always comes from the differences in estimated atmospheric sensitivity to concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. Having extra CO2 in the atmosphere warms the atmosphere, which is presumed to produce more water vapor, which is also a greenhouse gas and would contribute more warming than the CO2 by itself. How much extra warming would ensue is pretty much the heart and soul of the debate over global warming.
Those who think that there isn't much of an additional effect (that sensitivity of the atmosphere is low) have been chuckling very publicly because temperatures haven't risen very much (if at all) since the big El Nino year of 1998. This is not hugely surprising, as the shape of the data is uneven, a sawtooth with ups and downs that can last a decade or longer. But it is happening at an inconvenient time politically for those who are worried that sensitivity is high. They are trying to get the world to prepare for warming of 4.5C or higher, without much success.
Here's what temperatures look like more recently.
By itself, this chart doesn't explain very much. As I said, it is not uncommon or unexpected for the temperature record to have flat or declining periods that last a decade or more.
However, I have a problem. The Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) has estimates of how much CO2 humans have emitted since 1750. (Confusingly, they convert the CO2 to tons of carbon with a fixed formula.) That chart is the first one way up there at the top of the post. It rises dramatically
But looking at the data global.1751_2009 (3), one thing jumps out at me. CDIAC writes "Since 1751 approximately 356 billion metric tonnes of carbon have been released to the atmosphere from the consumption of fossil fuels and cement production." And they helpfully provide an Excel spreadsheet showing their estimates by year.
And almost one-third of that number, 110 billion metric tonnes, have occurred since that time in 1998 when temperatures reached their temporary plateau.
Because heat moves somewhat sluggishly through the earth's oceans, and because there is a lag factor in other earth systems, we do not expect a hair-trigger reaction to increases in CO2 emissions and concentrations.
But one-third of all human emissions of CO2 have occurred since 1998. And temperatures haven't budged as a result.
This does not 'disprove' global warming–at all. I still believe that temperatures will climb this century, mostly as a result of the brute force effect of the 3,000 quads of energy we will burn every year starting in 2075–the reason I started this weblog.
However it makes it exceedingly difficult to use the past 15 years as evidence of a very high sensitivity of the atmosphere to CO2 concentrations. And it makes me feel more comfortable about my 'lukewarm' estimate of 2C temperature rises as opposed to the more alarming 4.5C rises put forward by some of those who are most active in the movement to reduce emissions drastically.
And it makes me wonder about why people don't include relevant data when they discuss these issues. Is it really that politically incorrect to show real data, even if that data doesn't advance your case?

ARVADA — Vice President Joe Biden swiped at his Republican opponents Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan at two rallies in Colorado Saturday, calling them disingenuous and with fundamentally different views on how to fix America.
It was Biden's second trip to Colorado this campaign season. Besides this stop at Arvada West High School in Jefferson County, he also will speak to supporters in Pueblo today.
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has rallies scheduled today in Colorado Springs and in Centennial at the Comfort Dental Amphitheater.
When taking the stage, Biden reminded the crowd that tonight was end of Daylight Savings time.
"It's Mitt Romney's favorite time of the year because he gets to turn the clock back," Biden said. "He wants to turn the clock back so desperately, this time tonight he can really do it. I get in trouble, but I tell you what, I am so ready to win this election."
Before crowds of 900 and 1,200 at high schools in Jefferson County and Pueblo, respectively, Biden said he believed in a stronger American future than his opponents and said he was optimistic about the future.
"I'm referred to as the White House optimist, as if I fell off the turnip truck yesterday," Biden told people gathered in Arvada. "Hey man I've been there longer than all of them. I give you my word, I'm more optimistic about America's chances now than I was when I was elected when I was 29 years old."
The Obama campaign released numbers Saturday morning noting the president leads by 10 points among those who have already voted, according to Keating Research, Inc., a Colorado pollster.
The campaign also said turnout is up 18 percent among African-American voters and 23 percent among Latinos from four years ago.
Fifty-seven percent of the state's active voters have already cast ballots.
Early voting numbers from the Colorado Secretary of State's office through Friday show registered Republicans leading Democrats in early voting by about 38,000 votes, though 449,720 unaffiliated voters had also already voted through Friday.
Romney and Obama are statistically tied in Colorado, according to a Denver Post poll out this weekend that gives Obama a slight two-point lead which is still within the 3.5 percent margin of error.
Much of Biden's stump speeches Saturday were similar to what he said a few weeks ago in Greeley, calling Romney "stuck" in the 20th century on women's issues and saying his inconsistency makes him untrustworthy.
"As hard as they try, they can't bring themselves to climb into the 21st century," he said. "He is straight out of the 1950s and 1960s."
Between the rallies in Arvada and Pueblo, Biden made an unannounced stop to Beau Jo's Pizza on 54th Avenue and Vance Street in Arvada. He clapped the hands of people eating the Colorado-famous pizza with honey crusts and held babies. There was a young girls' soccer team there, too, and Biden told the parents that, "I spent my whole life going to soccer games."
With nine rallies in four days in Colorado, even the diehards are a bit weary of all the politics.
But the surprise trip to the pizzeria — and getting to meet Biden in person — was something Beau Jo's manager Scott Valente said he couldn't even put into words.
"It's one of those things you don't understand the meaning of until you see all those cars pulling up with the lights," he said. "I can't put it into words what that was like."

Grilled Flank Steak with Coffee Sauce
These steaks are amazingly good. They really need no special handling, but I promised a second recipe for the delicious grass-fed flank steaks I received from Hearst Ranch. Since salt and pepper don't constitute a recipe, I wanted to find something outstanding for you to try. I can't think of a better way to use beef of this quality than to prepare it using a recipe from one of the country's premier chefs. Gordon Hamersley, of Hamersley Bistro in Boston, is noted for a grilled flank steak that is marinated and sauced with a flavored coffee reduction. The recipe comes from his book, Bistro Cooking at Home, which can be found here. With extraordinary beef in one hand and his recipe in the other, I set out to duplicate his grilled flank steak. The recipe is easy to follow and it produces a marvelous steak. You'll need to start the simple marinade several hours before you plan to grill the steak. The steak may be cooked indoors in a grill pan or outdoors on a gas grill. The trick to a tender flank steak is fast cooking. About three minutes per side will give you gloriously pink beef that is at once tender and toothsome. I think you'll like this steak. Here's the recipe.
Grilled Flank Steak with Coffee Sauce...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, inspired by Gordon Hamersley
3 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided use
2 cups espresso or strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon Black pepper
1 (20-oz.) flank steak
Salt to taste
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons butter
1) Combine mustard, garlic, shallots, balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons oil, espresso, brown sugar and black pepper in a large pan. Reserve 1 cup of marinade to make sauce. Add flank steak and marinate for 2 hours, turning meat every 30 minutes.
2) Pat steak dry and season each side with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until smoking hot. Add flank steak and cook for 3 minutes per side, brushing each side with marinade. Remove pan from heat, but tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
3) While beef is resting, combine reserved marinade and the beef broth. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium. Reduce sauce by 1/2. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk to incorporate. Correct the seasoning. Transfer steak to a cutting board and slice crosswise on the diagonal into 2-inch slices. Spoon sauce over meat and serve immediately. Yield: 3 to 4 servings.

Mary, many years ago my son was working in Los Angeles and we had a steak with a coffee sauce in one of the "then trendy" restaurants that was popular in the late 80s. It was SO very delicious that when I got back to NY I worked hard to duplicate it. This is VERY similar. Interestingly I also came up with using espresso (and I thought I was so brilliant!) I haven't made it in some time and you brought back a lovely food and "time with my son" memory

|Name ▲▼
|Origin ▲▼
|Description ▲▼
|Goddess name
"BRAGI (poet; leader)"
|Nordic / Icelandic
|God of poetry. A Viking deity, said by Snorri to be a son of OTHIN and consort of IDUNN, the goddess who keeps the apples of immortality for the gods of Asgard. Bragi is possibly also a pseudonym for Othin himself. Often found in company with AEGIR. The cup over which oaths were sworn was known as the cup of Bragi and he was seen as a poet and orator in the hall of the slain, Valhalla....
|God name
"Idun or Idunn"
|Daughter of the dwarf Svald, and wife of Bragi. She kept in a box the golden apples which the gods tasted as often as they wished to renew their youth. Loki on one occasion stole the box and hid it in a wood; but the gods compelled him to restore it. Norse
8 ways to attend college for free
1. Grants and scholarshipsFinancial aid — the traditional way of eliminating college costs — is still available. To increase the odds of landing grants and scholarships, Doug Hewitt, co-author of "Free College Resource Book," advises students to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and then focus on local prizes.
"There are more scholarships you'll qualify for in your home state than nationally," says Hewitt. "Look at local organizations and talk to your high school (guidance) counselor."
And remember to start your search early. You won't be the only person wondering how to go to college for free and scholarships can be limited to a first come, first served basis. You should also keep in mind that you don't need to wait for your senior year to start hunting for scholarships. There are grants and awards available at all high school grade levels.
2. Give service to your countryThe U.S. Coast Guard, Air Force, Military (West Point), Merchant Marine and Naval academies offer free college opportunities to students who serve after college, but cash is also available through ROTC programs closer to home.
Service requirements for ROTC programs vary, but all require students to complete military training on campus and commit to up to 12 years, depending on the branch of service. Students leave with training, a guaranteed job and opportunities for more free education.
AmeriCorps, a national service organization that offers education awards in exchange for community work, provides an award of up to $5,730 for each full year of service. Maximum years of service vary among AmeriCorps programs. Members also receive a living stipend while serving in the program.
3. Work for the schoolSchools charge students tuition, but their employees often can get a free education. "This is a great option, especially for older students with job experience," says Reyna Gobel, author of "CliffsNotes Graduation Debt." "If you're 18, you might not qualify for a job that provides (tuition) benefits."
Schools typically provide benefits for full-time workers and sometimes require a certain level of experience, Gobel says. Future students can find out about their school's policy by calling the admissions office.
4. Waive your costsSome students can get a free pass based on academic performance or other factors.
The North American Council on Adoptable Children in St. Paul, Minnesota, reports that Connecticut, Kentucky, Virginia, Maine, Massachusetts, Texas, Florida and Maryland offer waivers at certain public schools for adopted and foster care children.
Other schools offer waivers for Native American students, senior citizens and dislocated workers. To find out what your school offers, call the financial aid office.
5. Become an apprenticeAn apprenticeship is another solid option when you're determining how to get free tuition. They can also open you up to job opportunities post-college.
Overall, your average apprenticeship program will take 1-6 years. You will probably be required to put in that time along with at least 2,000 hours of field work annually. The good news is that there are apprenticeships in more than 1,000 occupations, which can give you more options.
In exchange, the sponsoring employer pays for college or technical training and provides a salary. A list of available programs is available at the ApprenticeshipUSA website.
6. Have your employer pick up the costsAnother way you might receive a free college education is through your employer. Often given in the form of an employee reimbursement, there are plenty of employers that can help curb the cost of higher education.
7. Be in demandAnother great way to find out how to go to college for free is to determine if your field of study is "high-needs." Will your studies result in a career that's high in demand? Ask yourself this before you even enroll if you're trying to cut the cost of college.
Generally, schools will offer incentives to anyone focusing their studies on math, science, nursing, teaching, and social work. There are also additional opportunities available through organizations like Teach for America, the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program and the National Institutes of Health.
The nursing program at the University of Portland in Oregon has offered scholarships covering approximately 80% of the final 2 years of undergraduate study, if students sign a 3-year employment contract with the local health system, Fabriquer says. "There are similar programs in (high-needs) fields across the country," he adds.

Spring White Flowers
The Affinity Studio
Regular price
Hurricane Ridge in Washington State hosts everything from bears, majestic hillsides, bears, dear and wonderful flowers everywhere. It was such a treat to enjoy such beauty among the local inhabitants. This contrast of blue bonnets and the green from the forest tree was stunning.
Affinity Studio specializes in photographing and producing large size fine-art photographs from nature, and guiding "Adventures" for fellow photographers or just friends of nature to the most beautiful places we can find in Central America.
Fine-art images from Affinity Studio are photographed using only medium and large format cameras with Leica and Rodenstock high resolution lenses. All images are captured, imaged and printed at 16-bit color depth and at highest resolution for extraordinary print detail and rich natural colors. All Affinity Studio images are printed either using Cromira photographic processes using Fuji Crystal Archive or Fuli Flex substrate or by using high resolution pigment based fine art inks onto specially engineered Pearl Metallic Fine Art paper. Both of these materials come alive with brilliance and color when properly lit.This is much closer to how the human eye sees, so a stunning presence like being there is enjoyed when face-mounted to art-grade acrylic so all the detail and color comes through.
We produce our acrylic face mounted prints in three sizes, 24x36, 32x48 and 40x60. The face of the prints are laminated to art-grade cast acrylic using a very special double-release glue and under precise temperature, lamination speed and pressure. The edges of our acrylic sheets are polished so that light from the image reflects through the 1/4 thick edge creating a very nice edge effect. Then we laminate ACM, or Aluminum Composite Material to the back of the print to completely seal it forever and to provide an aluminum material for the structural aluminum mounting frame we epoxy to the back. We then crimp stranded aircraft cable to the metal frame for secure hanging. This makes the print stand off the wall about an inch and maintains absolute flatness in the acrylic. This impressive wall art is totally humidity proof, the inks are rated for 150 years, there is no wood to warp the image or become bug infested over time in the tropics and acrylic is easily cleanable with just water and light detergent and a soft cloth. The overall frame-less presentation is modern and the best display for stunning quality fine-art photography. We and other artists believe the acrylic process surpasses direct aluminum printing in overall print quality and sense of presence because of the restricted color gamut of aluminum printing technology.
Review our Certificate of Authenticity with every fine-art print to acrylic.

Where first-year students get a lecture on the etiquette of girl-on-girl shower sex
Commencement. By J. Courtney Sullivan. Knopf, 320 pp., $24.95.
By Janice Harayda
Commencement is probably best appreciated while wearing nothing but Saran Wrap or body paint – the apparent garb of choice at an annual clothing-optional party at Smith College. As pop fiction, this book has slightly more literary merit than a Jackie Collins novel. But as a study in the folkways of the undergraduates at Smith – and especially its lesbians – it's fascinating.
Who would have thought that any students needed, right after arriving on campus, a lecture on the etiquette of girl-on-girl shower sex? In Commencement, they get one from a house president who says: "Basically, don't shower with your significant other during prime traffic flow – usually about eight to ten a.m. It's really disrespectful, and, honestly, who wants to hear two dykes going at it first thing in the morning?"
J. Courtney Sullivan offers many such details as she tells the story of a quartet of friends, all Phi Beta Kappa graduates the Smith Class of 2002, who return to their alma mater four years after graduation for the wedding of one of their members. But instead of exploiting the potential for a great send-up of some of the collegiate excesses she describes, Sullivan tries to make a statement about the varied strains of feminism on campus and the evils of sex-trafficking off-campus, both of which have been done much better by others. If at times amusing or perceptive, her writing is also stilted, beset by point-of-view problems, and slowed by her frequent backtracking from the women's post-college lives to their days at Smith.
Yet Sullivan is a good enough reporter that she leaves you with memorable images, not all of which involve lesbianism. When it snowed, she tells us, college trucks poured soy sauce on the walkways of a quadrangle because "the salty liquid melted the ice without polluting the ground." There was only one problem: "the entire Quad smelled like a Thai restaurant until February."
Best line: No. 1: "Then there was Immorality, the notorious clothing-optional party held in Tyler House [at Smith College] every Halloween. Women attended in nothing but lingerie, or body paint, or Saran Wrap." No. 2: "There was a name for girls like her: SLUG. It stood for Smith Lesbian Until Graduation."
Worst line: One of many stilted lines: "Lately April had been obsessed with whether or not they should try to stop Sally from getting married, stating that she was too young and had no idea what she was getting herself into."
Editor: Jenny Jackson
Published: June 2009
Furthermore: Commencement is the first novel by Sullivan, a Smith graduate and resident of Brooklyn, NY, who works for the New York Times.

10 surprising benefits of quitting smoking
Rick Morris is one of seven CNN viewers participating in the CNN Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge. He quit smoking on an episode of "Sanjay Gupta, M.D." and has been smoke-free since.
About two months ago, I quit smoking. At the time there were many reasons influencing my decision to finally choose a smoke-free lifestyle. I was worried about my health. I had high blood pressure. My doctor and everyone I knew was encouraging me to kick the habit. My family history is one of lung cancer and diabetes. The list goes on and on.
Now that I've been without tobacco for the past couple months (63 days, to be exact), I've noticed some changes in the way I'm living.
All are positive and are in direct relation to my body's depletion of those nasty chemicals I've called friends for the last 12 years.
So I thought I would list those changes and explain how I have been affected by each. Though my list is restricted to 10, it is by no means an exhaustive one.
1. No more chronic cough: All smokers know what "smoker's cough" is. I didn't realize how annoying this was until I stopped coughing all the time. After about a week being smoke-free, I noticed I didn't have to clear my throat every few minutes.
I recall plenty of times when I was at a function or meeting and needed to cough so badly, but couldn't because I knew it would be rude and interrupting to those around me. It's like an insect hovering in your throat – not touching, just drying everything between your tongue and your stomach – and you can't do a darn thing about it.
2. The smell: I didn't know I smelled so badly until I was around other smokers. Their clothes, home, car, even their pets reek!
About a week after I smoked my last cancer stick, my daughter and her boyfriend, a smoker, dropped by for a visit. Their dog always peels for the door and makes it into the house first. Yeah, I actually smelled the odor of cigarettes coming from the dog.
3. No more cleaning butts: I swear that cigarette butts would multiply when I wasn't looking. I once placed a butt can out back on the patio and initially used it as intended. Pretty soon, I was too lazy to walk down the steps to the can and just started flipping cigarette butts out into the yard, in the area of the butt can (as if I were shooting a jump shot). I rarely scored.
Eventually, they were lying everywhere. So much that I would just wait until the weekends to "clean" them with the leaf blower. Nasty, nasty, nasty!
4. It's just an extra $200 per month: Really, the extra money wasn't even noticed, as I can easily spend that on a night grilling on the patio (I love king crab and filet mignon, and only the finest Belgium beer!) So I really didn't look at this as a true benefit of not smoking.
But, with the price of cigarettes reaching about $6 a pack in my area – and up to $11 in other areas of the nation – I discovered this adds up. And, it was clear the price of tobacco was just going to continue to rise.
So, I got out my calculator. $6 a day multiplied by 365 days in the year. Comes out to $2,190. Looking at this long term, that's about $122,000 over the next 56 years (when I turn 100). Assuming cigarettes continue to increase in price at the present rate, then it's easy to see that number growing to half-million dollars. Invested wisely, I'm sure I can leave someone a big, fat payday!
5. Lost productivity: Sure, we all need a break or two during the work day. But I realized I was taking about 20 of these 5-minute breaks. In all honesty, each was probably about 10 minutes. About two-thirds of my breaks were when I was at work (I have a home-based web development business). So, that's more than 2 hours of breaking as opposed to working.
How in the world was I getting my work done? I have since realized that I wasn't.
6. Food tastes much better: I don't know if it has something to do with a cleaner mouth, but food simply tastes better. I also find that I use less salt.
I've heard on several occasions that if one quits smoking one gains weight, but I would warn people from using the weight-gain excuse as a viable argument when attempting to become smoke-free. Trading one bad habit for another isn't the way to go.
7. Non-smoking or non-smoking?: I think the air-line industry coined the phrase: "Smoking, or non-smoking?" And, I think it was the first group to eliminate cigarette smoking from a certain area (the airplane).
Today, it's almost preposterous to think we once smoked during an international flight on a 747! "Non-smoking or non-smoking?" seems to be the rhetorical, unasked question wherever you go these days. It's understood. There will be no smoking here, or here, or there, or over there, or in there, or... well, you get the point.
Unlike the Golden era of the 1920s and 1930s, when smoking was an upper-class hobby, a smoker's world is an unfriendly one today.Since the airlines quit asking that redundant question, smoking has been eliminated from virtually all public places. Restaurants, high-school football games, town parks, even bars and drinking establishments have become smoke-free.
For smokers, drinking a beer without a cigarette is like playing pool without a beer! Whether smokers realize it or not, the very fact that one uses tobacco limits them in myriad ways – especially socially. I don't have to worry about that anymore.
8. Dry, sticky contact lenses: As a wearer of these miracle discs of ocular health, I know what smoking does to your contact lenses. Smoke makes them dry. They become cloudy and you're constantly rubbing your eyes. Eventually, your lenses get to the point where you must get them out.
Fortunately, I wear disposable contact lenses. All I had to do was pop in a new set. But, at a couple dollars per lens, this was costing me. How to solve this annoying problem? Quit smoking!
9. Physical appearance: In the few months I've not smoked, I can tell my overall physical appearance has improved.
My skin isn't dry and wrinkly. My bit of gray hair is actually going brown. My self-confidence in speaking directly to someone isn't hindered by my desire to turn at an angle because of smoker's breath.
10. Bye, bye yellow teeth: No matter how hard I brushed or swished fluoride, I couldn't seem to keep perfectly white teeth.
"It's because you smoke," my dentist proclaimed. "And, unless you do something about that, your dental health will continue to deteriorate, thus affecting your overall health."
Bad teeth can lead to serious health effects throughout your body. Yesterday I had a cleaning at the dentist, and plan to keep my teeth white and healthy from now on.

Jesse Jackson: Phil Robertson's Comments Are "More Offensive" Than Rosa Parks Incident
The Rev. Jesse Jackson has requested a meeting with A&E brass over Duck Dynasty starPhil Robertson's recent comments in GQ, which Jackson says are "more offensive" than the Rosa Parks bus incident.
Robertson has gotten flack from LGBT groups over anti-gay remarks he made in the profile, but Jackson's issue is with Robertson's statement that blacks were perfectly happy before the Civil Rights movement. Jackson says the comment is "more offensive" than a bus driver ordering Parks to give up her seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955.
Duck Dynasty family: We cannot imagine the show going forward without Phil
"At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law," Jackson said in a statement released Dec. 23, as reported by ABC News. "Robertson's statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was 'white privilege.'"
In the statement, Jackson also demanded a meeting with executives from A&E and Cracker Barrel within 72 hours (which would expire on Thursday). Cracker Barrel initially vowed to remove Duck Dynasty merchandise from its stores, but recanted after customer backlash.
Duck Dynasty fans launch petition to bring Phil Robertson back
Robertson, 67, told GQ that he had never witnessed racism during his childhood in Louisiana."I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person," he said. "I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field.... they're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people ... ' Not a word! Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say, Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."
A&E has placed Robertson, who said he's standing by his comments, on indefinite suspension from Duck Dynasty in the wake of the controversy.

This past Sunday, March 11th, a most extraordinary singular ceremony was held at the auditorium of the Center for Jewish History, in Manhattan, to a standing room only crowd. Rabbi Raphael Benchimol, chief rabbi of Manhattan Sephardic Congregation became a Knight of the Order of the Throne by order of His Majesty the King, Mohammed VI (Ṣāḥib al-Jalālah al-Malik Muḥammad al-Sādis) of Morocco.
The evening opened with Mistress of Ceremonies, Founder and Honorary President of the American Sephardic Federation, Liliane Shalom introducing the event, and dignitaries present (members of the diplomatic corps, activists and more).
Marc Hazan, Cantor at Manhattan Sephardic Congregation sang beautiful renditions of the American and Moroccan national anthems.
Mr. David Dangoor, President of the American Sephardi Federation, followed with the opening remarks. Rabbi Marc Schneier, President of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and Rabbi of the star-studded Hampton Synagogue, spoke next. He opened his speech with an amusing and well known anecdote concerning Pablo Picasso.
An art dealer once came to Pablo Picasso with a painting, purportedly signed by the artist, to have its authenticity verified. Picasso quickly looked at it and pronounced it a fake. Three years later, the same dealer came back with another painting and an impoverished artist in tow, and once again Picasso pronounced it a fake.
Enraged, the impecunious painter cried out: "But Pablo, I saw you paint it and you yourself gave it to me!" to which Picasso responded, "Pablo Picasso also paints fake Picassos sometimes."
The point of the anecdote was that we all "paint fakes," all except the evening's honoree,whose indefatigable work on behalf of his people radiates his true luminosity constituting Rabbi Raphael Benchimol's core badge of honor… Rabbi Raphael Benchimol, whose genuineness, has repeatedly shown he does not "paint fakes;" his work as a rabbi, his travails on behalf of his congregation, his espousal of causes that benefit Moroccan Jewry, his heartfelt speeches and deep wonderful insights on Torah prove he only is capable of "painting" what's truly real…
Royal Ambassador Serge Berdugo – who flew in from Morocco followed. He spoke of the Moroccan Jewish Community then and now, the love of His Majesty for the tradition and rich history of Jews in in the kingdom and the peaceful coexistence between the kingdom's various faiths.
He mentioned the Preamble of the New Constitution adopted by Referendum on the 1st of July 2011, establishing that "the National Unity, forged by the convergence of its Arab-Islamist, Berber [amazighe] and Saharan-Hassanic, [saharo-hassanie] components, is nourished and enriched by its African, Andalusian, Hebraic and Mediterranean influences [affluents]".
Ambassador Berdugo presented Rabbi Benchimol, a medal bestowed on him by King Mohammed VI and a proclamation naming him a Knight of the Order of the Throne.
Rabbi Benchimol concluded his remarks with a blessing in Hebrew for the King of Morocco and the Royal Household in and then translated it to English for the enthralled attendees. He then unveiled a gift to His Majesty, a magnificent silver crown encased in a glass case and wood case.
Rabbi Benchimol explained that the silver crown is traditionally used to adorn the holy Torah scroll. He elaborated that this gift was specifically chosen in gratitude to His Majesty and to his predecessors, who as Commanders of the Faithful have for generations protected and preserved Judaism in Morocco.
The inscription on the display case reads:
To His Majesty, Mohammed VI King of Morocco
With our Deepest Gratitude
Manhattan Sephardic Congregation
"May G-d Always watch over you and protect you"
Ambassador Serge Berdugo gave a video presentation on the extensive and elaborate Jewish cemetery project under way in Morocco.
The ceremony ended with the Moroccan Ambassador to the US, His Excellency Rachad Bouhlal reminiscences of his childhood and the respect Moroccan children were taught to have for their elders regardless of religious creed.
The evening ended with light dips, salads, cakes and a superb Moroccan coffee in a room transformed to look like a Moroccan lounge. A truly memorable evening for a most exceptional man. May his many merits, both hidden and known, inspire us all to meritorious action on behalf of our people and fellow citizens of the world.

Why would a nation such as India that tries to deceive the world by saying it has peaceful intentions have the largest armed forces in the world and a hyper huge nuclear program. All this while the majority of its people are living in poverty and starving while rayping is rampant.
I'll tell ya why. Hindoos being hindoos. Goat fukkers. Rayping mothers at night and banging cows at night. Need you to know more? Tel me. Tell me.
Om Om Om
Maybe you prefer NK where the leader there starves the people or Mexico with lawlessness and for the most part, a failed state. I don't know you nor do I care to. If you were to die tonight this world would be a better place.
The number of people in India that don't have toilets is equal to the combined population of North Korea, France, Canada, USA and of Mexico, Central America and South America !!! Just imagine the enormity of the problem. India is probably one big mountain of sewage.... literally.
These Indians are a disgrace to our great country. Mexicans are geniuses compared to these hindoos. At least they believe in Jesus not some ugly duckling terrorist deities.
Funny how crooked Americans examine India closely while ignoring their own criminality and obesity.
Both banasy and rupert are from India to my knowledge.
I love India.
We have to be extremely careful of the terrorist sleeper cells of hindus from India spread out throughout the world. They are probably ready to be activated at a moment's notice.
We have literally occupied the middle east and south asia either directly or via our ally Israel. The East India Company is alive and well. And we say hindoos are bad. WE BAD!
Tell me @Cappie billions of Indians are starving while the prime minister, a tea boy and murderer, wears suits costing millions of dollars made from gold thread. What kind of message is that? He should be dragged to The Hague for standing trial for genocide.
India is beautiful.
I love India. It is my favorite country.
When I go visit Cappie in India, I kiss the ground.
Long live Marvelous Modi.
Long live the Indians.
Well. I'm gonna go watch the Rifle Man.
Ler's go visit Hinduworld. We will defecate on sidewalks. We will p iss on roads. We will eat what we secrete.
Raype galore. E Coli everywhere. Cannibalism rampant.
BO capital of the world. A hindu wonderland.
Incredible India !!!
