Let's go!
Living in town is not easy because life has become more expensive. You can"t live in town without money, but in village you can survive because life is relatively cheap. Meanwhile criminal activities are more likely to happen in town than in the village.
In the village people eat fresh food, which they grow themselves. People in the village can also slaughter animals and get meat. They also enjoy lots of fruits. Hunger is forgotten in the village. Because of fewer vehicles in the village, people are safer and road accidents are minimised. The village also has clean air and the environment is very beautiful.
Rural life is simple. Families stay close together and care more for each other. Also, natural resources such as rivers, hills, mountains are plenty in the village. People who are living in rural areas are very important to our economy because they are the producers of food.
The most important thing in life for humans is generally to love and to be loved. The risk of not finding someone to share your life with is one of the biggest fears in human life. The city offers a wide range of people, and thus a greater chance to find the perfect match. The city also hosts a more diverse ways of leading a life. It is full of subcultures and niched people. To summarize " the odds of finding that special someone, and to discover just what kind of life one wants to have are far greater in the city.
Another important aspect of human life is career. You want to find something meaningful, inspiring and fun to do for a living. Just stepping foot outside your apartment footstep in a big city offer great career paths. The labour market is bigger, wider and deeper. The chances of finding the job you dream about is incredibly bigger in a city compared to the country.
In a city you find most things you need closed to your house. You won"t need a polluting car to get what you need, just take a quick walk.
People like to do different stuff to be entertained. The supply of entertainment in a city can"t be compared to that in the country.
I will now go through your arguments.
The prices of housing are higher in a city. On the other hand people on the countryside will generally have to own a car, leading to big costs in fuel and maintenance.
Most people living in the countryside are not farmers. Thus they do not grow their own crops and have animals to slaughter. They usually shop at regular stores that hosts brands from the same suppliers as the shops in a city.
Your statement that the risk of car accidents is greater in a city is not true. An even greater argument - life in a city is safer than life in the countryside! - " But guns " whether used accidentally or with intent " are much less likely to be the cause of death than another tool: cars. And people drive more, drive longer, drive faster and drive drunker in rural areas than in urban ones, where they can walk or take public transit." Read this article and you will see that is is actually safer to live in a city compared to the countryside: http://science.time.com...
You state that life is more simple in the countryside compared to the life in a city. Maybe that is appealing to some, but I think that most people are out to get more from life than just simplicity. People are complex. You want to find the love of your life, the perfect job, the perfect things to do or the perfect places to go to find the entertainment that suits you as the unique human you are. All these things are easier to find in a city. The simplicity you hold as an argument for the countryside might backlash and become a counter-argument for it. Most people will not be pleased with the simple life. You want to explore the world, and what it has to offer. The city is a big boiling pot of life, a great hub of different lifestyles and people.
So let"s discover the world, and see what the city has to offer.

On the other hand, the brain does less processing when looking at rural landscapes.
The study which used an MRI scanner to monitor brain activity adds to a growing body of evidence that natural environments are good for humans, affecting mental and physical health and even levels of aggression.
Reference: http://www.independent.co.uk...
Stress management: The brains of people who live in cities react more strongly to stress than those who live in small towns and rural areas, a new study shows. The study may help explain why mood disorders like depression and mental illness like schizophrenia are more common in city dwellers than in those living in less densely populated areas.
The above study is published in the journal Nature. Anecdotally, the link between cities, stress and mental health makes sense. Psychiatrists know that stress can trigger mental disorders - and modern city life is widely perceived as stressful. City dwellers typically face more noise, more crime, more slums and more people jostling on the streets than do those outside urban areas. Those who have jobs complain on growing demand on them in the workplace, where they are expected to do much more in less time.
Reference: www.nature.com/news/stress-and-the-city-urban-decay-1.11556
You said that simplicity of the village life is of no benefit. Now you should realize that your statement was baseless.
Furthermore, Stress of urban life hinders emotional development. People become robotic and mechanical. Urban dwellers are more related to robotic science and less related to psychology. They lose the ability to love of feel emotion.
Neighbours living under same roof don't know each other in urban society. Social relationship and responsibilities are very poor. If you face any problem in a road, let's say if you are attacked by robbers, urban passers-by are less likely to help you. But in villages, in this case, you must get help from passers-by.
You said that a person is more likely to find his perfect match in cities.
But let's see.
As mentioned before, urban life hinders emotional development, there is no considerable emotional attachment in many urban marriages. Marriage becomes a contract. According to United Nation's Demographics and Social Statistics Division, urban areas have the highest divorce rate in developed countries, much higher than rural areas (apart from underdeveloped countries like African countries).
The statistics also says that Adultery/Infidelity rate is much higher in urban areas in developed countries (except underdeveloped countries).
Urban people are having most causual sex. And urban people have the highest rate of HIV (in developed countries).
You are less likely to find a virgin girl in urban areas. Virginity may not be a big deal to you, but still it's a big deal to many guys. It's also a big deal for remaining safe from STDs.
You said that a person can find perfect match in cities.
But actually what they can find in cities is a cheating partner. Adultery/infidelity rate is pretty high in urban areas. And there have been many reports that people got HIV from a cheating partner. Yes, this is the worst thing that can happen. Is this called perfect match!!!
You said that city life is safer than village life. But your reference has too many weakness.
As mentioned before, criminal activities are more likely to happen in cities. And not only car accidents, any type of accident is more likely to happen in cities. About car accidents, cities have a huge traffic of vehicles. So logically car accidents are more likely to happen in cities.
What about non
City life is like life in prison: In cities, there's not a inch of land remained free. You live in a prison like building. There's not enough lands for walking, running, swimming. There's not enough lands for playing games for children. Today in prison, you get everything that a city dweller have. But you don't get that a village dweller have. It's freedom. The natural freedom.
As mentioned in first round, you will enjoy the extream natural beauty, natural fruits in villages.
City life is fixed and routined. There's lack of freedom. It's boring. And you can develop mental illness from it.
Today we have schools in villages. But we have to go to cities for higher education. But after that we must come back to our village. It's the real beauty of life. And today we have career opportunities in villages also. Money isn't everything. Bill Gates isn't the happiest. But if you really want to be Bill Gates, it's better to go to city. But general people want happiness in life.

Bad Credit Refinance - Is it Possible?
With the current state of the economy, many people wonder about bad credit refinance - is it possible? Is it even desirable? Here to help sort out fact from fiction are a few tips on the pros and cons about bad credit refinance.
Tips on Bad Credit RefinanceFiction: It's impossible to refinance today because banks aren't lending.
Fact: Bad credit refinance is still possible even in a difficult economy. Just keep in mind, without good credit you may not qualify for the best rates. However, that doesn't mean you won't save money. Many people with bad credit still save money or reduce their monthly bills by refinancing.
Fiction: Refinancing always makes sense.
Fact: Not everyone benefits from refinancing; in fact, for some people it can cost much more to refinance rather than pay down the terms of the original loan. Always calculate the full cost of refinancing, including closing costs and fees, and not just the monthly savings.
Fiction: Bad credit refinance ends up costing more in closing costs and other fees than it is worth.
Fact: Shop around for the best terms and rates to find a loan that fits your needs. Many people find they are able to recoup the cost of refinancing the loan within 1-3 years or even less.
Fiction: Bad credit refinance isn't a good idea because the government might not be willing to help once funds become available.
Fact: Following the mortgage crisis of 2009, the government made special funding available. As of 2010, only a few hundred people have taken advantage of the HOPE loans and other government sponsored initiatives. Currently there isn't any way of knowing what qualifications and criteria will be necessary in order to obtain assistance at a later date; on the other hand, locking in a solid fixed interest rate today assures your financial obligation is stable no matter what takes place in the future.
Fiction: I will be required to pay a lot of money out of pocket in order to refinance my home.
Fact: It is often possible to refinance with little to no money out of pocket. Closing costs and other expenses are easily rolled into most loan packages making it as affordable as it is easy to start saving money almost immediately. Just keep in mind, while it is simple to roll expenses into the closing cost it isn't always desirable since you will be effectively financing them for the entire term of the loan. If you are able to pay for closing costs and other fees out of pocket it is often preferable to do so when doing a bad credit refinance. Read More......

About Me
My name is Benjaman Gallant, and I love to help people. I started this business in 2010 in order to go back to school and yet still provide for my family. I was born and raised in Maine, and have always had a passion for teaching others. I enjoy teaching in a simple, easy to learn, hands-on way. I guess that's why most people that I know have cornered me (at least once) to ask me about their computer / technical issues!
I'm married to an amazing woman of God who surprises me every day with how caring and loving she is! Her name is Sushmita and she is from Kolkata, India. We were married in December 2010, and we have a son, Jonathan!
I have a degree in Computer Networking (Systems Management) from ITT Technical Institute in Newburgh, Indiana.
I'm currently attending The University of Southern Indiana here in Evansville, Indiana. I'm pursuing a degree in Business Finance. My wife and I recently moved to Newburgh, Indiana after living in Jonesboro, Arkansas for the past several years.
While in school, I'm staying fit by playing rugby for the USI Rugby team! We are currently the 2012 Indiana State Champions in our division with an undefeated season for fall 2012. Visit our website to view pictures and more! (By the way, I made their website too!)
I fellowship with people who love Jesus at Faith Bible Church in Evansville, Indiana. I have been walking with Jesus since 2002 (by God's grace!).

Stop Hillary PAC announced on Monday that it made a $210,000 ad buy for North Carolina, bringing the total the PAC has spent to run an ad in Arizona, Colorado, and now North Carolina to over $2.2 million. The ad is about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the four Americans who died in the 2012 Islamic terror attack in Benghazi, Libya.
"Hillary Clinton fears being held accountable for Benghazi. Her lack of action is the reason four Americans and seven Libyans lost their lives," said Ted Harvey, chairman of the Stop Hillary PAC. "That's why the Stop Hillary PAC has spent over $1 million to re-air the Benghazi ad. We're committed to making sure Hillary Clinton never becomes president."
Stop Hillary PAC has purposed to prevent Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton from ever being elected President of the United States. The PAC has endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for president.

Hi All - Wasn't able to find a recent response to my question: Does Webflow work with Bootstrap?
Hi All - Wasn't able to find a recent response to my question: Does Webflow work with Bootstrap?
Webflow has its own framework. You could add bootstrap CSS but difficult to work with because you can only see it when export.
Probably not exactly what you're looking for but I made this https://webflow.com/website/bootstrap-ui-kit
With Webflow you could do your own bootstrap. When you're done you can clone that project for every site that has the need.
They can coexist. It's tricky but doable. We did: APIANT.com
I've actually been able to reliably remove webflow and replace it
- with both bootstrap and Material-UI.
It's is serious PIA... and I wouldn't recommend it to those who fear blood.
I was mainly interested in the basic structure of the site...
- and not so much - the interactions (the fluff).
(in short: I wanted to use the Visual Design WYSIWYG advantages of Webflow...
then export the site - and add the fluff later)
Considering the structure... it is possible.
And long as you have a good string replacement process.
on a side note:
If you are interested... this thread may be worth following.
These 2 posts - in a way - are related.
In the above mentioned post... I was trying to have the Webflow library work with Material-UI
while dynamically add pre/externally defined interactions from a database using PHP/AJAX.

Reviewed By Larry L (Winchester, KY) Reviewed for a 2005 Acura TSX —5/30/2016 8:53 AM
2005 Acura TSX. Have only had it on car for 3 days. Good fit. Bought it to protect from the sun because it is parked outside in direct sunlight most of the time. The car is black and still gets hot but I believe the interior is staying cooler and it is helping protect the exterior. Material seems to be good quality and I would recommend this cover.

Sometimes you can be wrong about a beer.
When Jos suggested that we do a 'stein' version of the Red Rocks beer we originally brewed for the 24/24, I distinctly remember telling him to fuck off. 'Steinning' is an ancient brewing method dating back to a time when beer was brewed in wooden vessels. Instead of applying external heat (tricky with a wooden kettle), hot rocks would be thrown into the wort to create a rolling boil.
Cool. But seriously, why would I bother super heating rocks to make my beer.
Ancient people used to do all sorts of crazy shit. Example, trephination was once a popular way to cure migraines, but that doesn't mean I'm going to rush off to Bunnings to pick up a trephine next time I've got a headache.
I got it in theory. Conventional modern brewing techniques bring the wort to a boil around 100˚c, but rocks heated in a fire can reach many hundreds of degrees creating a super boil when plunged into the wort. The motivation behind recreating this ancient brewing practice is to create a rich toffee character in beer through the caramelization of wort sugars on the super heated surface of the rocks. But still, it does sound like a ton of effort to go to considering the modern brewer has a whole swag of other ingredients and techniques at their disposal to recreate this kind of character in beer.
So I admit it was with a certain amount of reluctance that I finally agreed to give it a crack. Jos' enthusiasm for the project was infectious, and at the end of the day who doesn't like having a nice big fire.
The first step was to find our rocks. Our original idea was to use some of the red rocks from Red Rocks on Wellington's South Coast – the place that originally inspired the name of our beer. Here's where it gets tricky. You see, it turns out that red rocks from Red Rocks tend to explode when heated. Crap. But all was not lost. Apparently, according to the geologists we spoke to, the rocks 100 meters down the coast from Red Rocks, although not red, were less likely to explode. No promises you understand, just less likely.
My growing confidence for the project was only temporarily dented by Jos' announcement at this point that he would actually be in America for the week we were planning the brew (which struck me as a safe distance to be in the event of exploding rocks).
[Jos at said safe distance in the Stone Brewery in Escondido ]
Heating rocks in a great big fuck-off fire in the forecourt of an old petrol station in Aro Valley takes a lot more organisation and planning than you might think, but we managed it. A good heap of non-red rocks were collected from the South Coast and this pile supplemented with a load of stone grill rocks. A fire permit was obtained and a roaring manuka wood fire was stoked up out the front of the brewery. We even managed to get Rob, a fireman I know, to come and spend his day off with us while we played with matches. All seemed to be going well. There had been no explosions and the rocks, after a morning in the fire, had reached over 500˚c.
But after all this I still had my reservations. Would it be worth it? Would this massive effort pay off in the flavour of the finished beer or would it all have been a load of buggering around for nothing?
Any reservations I had evaporated the moment the wort hit the hot rocks. I have never seen a boil like the one these rocks created. As the column of steam cleared after the initial roar of contact, the boiling wort looked like lava - like rich red toffee lava. It was one of those moments of pure joyous excitement when you know for a fact that you've pulled something off, that it's worked, that despite everything that could have gone wrong it's gone just right. I love that feeling and the stupid indelible grin that goes with it.
And the flavour is there, unmistakably, in the beer – rich juicy toffee sweetness from all those caramelized sugars, layered with Red Rock's distinctive lush hop aroma. We've been calling it a hopfen-stein bier. I don't know if that really is a style but I do know it is definitely one of the most fun beers I've ever made.
Sometimes it's good to be wrong.
Massive thanks to all involved. To the geologists who gave such considered advice, to Phil for embracing the madness on his first week at work, and to Rob, for taking a day off from putting out fires to light one and letting us play dress ups. Cheers.
Special thanks to Corie for filming and editing a video of the brew, which you can enjoy here, and to local artist Evan Purdie who painstakingly hand painted the awesome Red Rocks Reserve poster (and also Pernicious Weed Killer Hops one).
You can view more of Corie's work here including the horror film 'Fetus 5000' shot in the brewery for the 48 hour film competition earlier this year and we will let Ev's genius speak for itself…
Very limited amounts of the beer are available still. If you see it in a bar, grab a pint. It might be a while between drinks. For a list of bars pouring our beer, check out our Facebook page every Friday afternoon for a fresh update.

The joy of helping a couple fulfill their dream of starting a family by becoming their gestational surrogate is immeasurable. There is literally no greater gift you can give than the gift of life, particularly to families where infertility has made surrogacy their only option to have a child.
I wish I could say that simply wanting to help another couple with their dream of having a family is the biggest deciding factor to becoming a gestational surrogate. I'm sure that if it was, women everywhere would be lining up for the cause. The truth is, making the decision to be a gestational carrier isn't one you can (or should) make lightly; there are many things and people to think about before connecting with an agency like Family Inceptions. We all want to change the world, and providing a healthy, nurturing body for someone else's child to grow and thrive in is an amazing gift. But not everyone is cut out for the job.
Gestational Surrogates Give the Ultimate Gift
What is it about becoming a surrogate that makes women want to do it? That's certainly a loaded question with, unfortunately, no one-size-fits all answer.
In our experience, the women who've come to Family Inceptions to start their surrogacy journey have done it after watching someone close to them struggle with infertility. In rare cases, we've had surrogates sign on because their own mothers were surrogates. For some women, they believe they've been called by a Higher Power to give a couple a chance at experiencing the love and joy of having a family. Whatever the reason, surrogacy is by all accounts as rewarding for the surrogate as it is for the intended parents, and that's pretty amazing.
Are You Ready To Be a Surrogate?
It would probably take a week to list all of the things a woman should consider before becoming a gestational surrogate, and there's good reason for that: There are many emotional, physical, and spiritual factors involved in the decision to become a gestational carrier. If you've recently begun considering a gestational surrogacy, here are some questions you need to ask yourself first:
Have you had a child before? Of course being physically and mentally healthy is extremely important, but it doesn't outrank having had a prior successful pregnancy. Surrogates working with us must have delivered and be raising (or have raised) at least one child, and that pregnancy must have been free of complications, such as high blood pressure, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
Are you the right age? A woman's age is directly related to her fertility, that's why we require gestational surrogates to be between the ages of 23 and 40. Women within this age bracket are generally considered to be at the ideal age to carry a child to term with no complications. We want everyone to be healthy, and younger or older women are more likely to experience high-risk gestations that can affect the health of the baby and the gestational surrogate mom. Furthermore, as women age, there is an increased chance of developing fibroids and endometriosis, both of which can prevent an embryo from successfully implanting in the uterine wall.
Are you willing to give up control? As a gestational surrogate, you may be the one who's pregnant, but the pregnancy is not your own. That means there will be more people involved in decisions regarding the child—and your body. The intended parents will have a say in what tests you will undergo in your pregnancy, even if they are not the tests you'd choose to have, and even if they are painful or uncomfortable.
Is your own family complete? Becoming a gestational surrogate to make another couple's dream of having a family come true is a remarkable act of generosity, but would you do it at the expense of having a family of your own? Every pregnancy carries a certain element of risk; complications during pregnancy or delivery could affect your own fertility, so it's in your best interest to wait until your family is complete before agreeing to carry a baby for someone else.
How will it affect your family? While being a gestational surrogate may be an incredibly rewarding experience for you, the other members of your family may not agree. How will your surrogacy affect your partner or other children? There are a lot of emotional and psychological factors at play for them, too. A husband may feel insecure at the thought of his wife carrying "another man's child," while children can be confused or even develop an emotional attachment to the baby. Everyone needs to be on board with you becoming a gestational surrogate and understand the reasons for doing it. As part of our screening process, we require your spouse/partner to be in full support of your decision to become a gestational surrogate and to undergo medical and psychological screening and a background check.
Can you handle taking (a lot) of medications? In order to maximize the chance of a successful implantation, your body needs to be prepared for the embryo transfer. This includes taking a number of medications, such as birth control pills, Lupron injections, and other hormonal medications to make your uterus more receptive.
Make Your Decision Carefully
Our team knows firsthand how joyful and rewarding it is to be a surrogate mother, and how important it is to consider your own set of circumstances before deciding to become one. If you believe you are ready to start the surrogate mother application process, we'd love to hear from you. Coontact us familyinceptions.com/contact or call us anytime at 844-404-BABY.

There was a time when a portrait only existed as a sketch or painting. With the invention of the camera, a portrait could be captured on film and developed into an image on paper or some other medium. For centuries, portraits were a luxury and treasured.
It is amazing how differently we handle our images today. Most exist on our smart phones. Some get uploaded to a website or downloaded to a storage device for safe-keeping. Some get published on social media. A small percentage actually get printed and become tangible. Finding a way to display these few "print-worthy" pictures can make all the difference in how you are able to enjoy them.
Once you find that portrait that takes your breath away, you need to decide how you can use that portrait to enhance a particular space. You also need to consider what display method would make the most of that portrait for the display location that you have in mind. There is so much to consider. My goal in today's blog is to help you to better understand the options available to you with regard to displaying portraits, and to help you determine which display option would best meet your needs.
There is a significant difference in the reaction to an image that is presented as just an image, compared to an image that is displayed with a purpose. Simply placing a picture in a frame of appropriate size and in a complementary color or texture can elevate the impact of any image. Matting can certainly have the same effect. This does not have to be a huge investment. I have often purchased large framed art that had been place on clearance simply because I like the frame. I tear it apart and place my own image inside. Many of these clearance pieces of art have gorgeous frames and matting that only cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy it all separately. You can amaze yourself with the results. That portrait can come alive with enhanced depth once you get it on the wall.
If you are wiling to be a little adventurous and invest in a portrait display method that will really be something special, then you may want to consider some of the products that I offer in a category called "Home Decor." Within the Home Decor category, I will be talking about Print Wraps, Canvas Prints, Metals and Acrylic Prints. I recently purchased examples in each of these categories so that I could share the specifics with you and help you to make informed decisions when purchasing products from my website.
Print Wraps
Print wraps are a fun way to give your images some dimension as the print is actually wrapped around a frame to make it a little puffy. It is about 3/8 of an inch thick. Because the edges are wrapped around the frame, you lose the ability to see the outer most edges as they get tucked into the back. The good news is that these are less expensive than canvas wraps, but are also less durable. You can choose from a wide range of sizes from 8 X 8 to 16 X 24. You can choose from the most common E-Surface paper or upgrade to the Kodak Metallic paper which has a little more luminescence. You can choose from a gloss or matte finish. I was impressed with how nicely the back is finished and that the mounting makes for easy hanging.
My print wrap sample that I ordered is 11 X 14 on E-Surface paper with a gloss finish. In the pictures, you can see how the corners are finished and the mounting block is attached for hanging. It is not very heavy, so wall mounting is not a big concern. You can see that the mounting block also elevates it away from the wall and makes your portrait "stand out" nicely. The E-Surface can be wiped off, but would not hold up very well if hung in a location where it could get dirty and require cleaning beyond dusting. So, a kitchen or bathroom where you have the likelihood for grease or steam could cause this print to show some wear.
Canvas Prints
Most people have an idea about what to expect with a canvas print, as they are fairly common. These pieces are a little more expensive than a print wrap, but the improvement in quality and durability is evident. In my opinion, the canvas print really elevates a portrait to "art" status. The texture is less reflective so your portrait can be seen from most angles with no glare. The canvas prints are actually canvas gallery wraps, and how you choose to wrap will make a difference in the resulting look of the piece.
When ordering a canvas wrap, there are several choices that will impact your final product. Canvas wraps can be ordered in a range of sizes from 8 X 10 to 24 X 36. There is a drop-down menu of choices for the canvas sides. Your print is wrapped around a frame that is 1.5 inches thick, so you can choose what the sides look like. Your options are mirrored sides, extend image to sides, black sides, or white sides.
The option of "mirrored sides" is my least favorite. Your entire print will look perfectly normal from the front, but the side edges that are wrapped around the frame are a "mirror image" of what is on the outer edge of your print. I feel that it looks a little confusing for most images.
The second option, "extend image to sides," does exactly what it says. You will see less of your image on the front of the print because the outer edges are wrapped around the frame. Two of the samples that I ordered represent this option. Both the large seascape and the small close-up of my daughter in the hat are canvas wraps that extend the image to the sides. I like this option because you feel like you are still seeing the portrait as you walk from side to side. However, it is not a good option if your portrait does not have much space around the edges. You don't want important features to be lost because they are wrapped around the frame and no longer visible from the front.
The final two options, black sides and white sides, are basically the same. The entire image will be visible on the canvas from the front. There is no image on the side edges. The sides are painted black or white, depending on the preference you indicate. The sample of my daughter sitting on the beach shows the black sides option. I am very pleased with this look, as well, because I feel it frames the portrait and you don't loose the ability to see any parts of the image from the front.
These canvas wraps are finished nicely on the back where the canvas is secured by many staples. They are ready for hanging with hardware appropriate for the size. The large 24 X 36 of the seascape has a very sturdy wire for hanging that is more than sufficient since the canvas and frame are fairly light. The other two sizes shown are 11 X 14 and 8 X 10 and have brackets attached for hanging.
The modern metal print is a fairly new option to my customers and I really wasn't sure what to expect. Let's just say, it is exactly what its name implies. It is a really cool modern look and it is metal. Now, if you are looking for durability and you want the colors to pop, then this may be the option for you. The website description says it best, "Add contemporary style to your photography with aluminum prints. Images are printed using a dye-sublimation process to create a stunning finished product." At only $49.99 for an 11 X 14, it is a very enticing choice.
These are truly amazing! I'm not sure how they get it to look so glossy and vibrant, but I was so impressed when I opened the box. As you can see from the pictures above, the easy mounting block on the back elevates the portrait away from the wall to add even more dimension. Modern metal prints come in sizes ranging from 8 X 10 to 20 X 30. I can just imagine these hanging in a business or restaurant. A home or office with a modern flair would receive a nice upgrade with these modern metal prints on the walls.
Acrylic Prints
The final Home Decor product that I am featuring in this blog is the acrylic print. I would have preceded that statement with a drum roll if I had audio because the acrylic print is truly something special. The website description says, "After the photo is printed directly to the 1/4" acrylic, a layer of opaque white ink is screen printed on the back to create a product that highlights the vibrant colors and fine details of the image." Wow! That's all I can say. Just let a little light pass behind the image and it absolutely glows. It comes with four stainless steel "standoffs" for mounting onto the wall. The mounting is rather permanent, so be sure you are willing to live with the portrait in that spot for a long time. I have not mounted mine because I intend to bring it with me as a sample when I meet with my couples for wedding consultations.
Acrylic prints only come in four sizes ranging from 16 X 16 to 19.5 X 23.5. They are an investment, but will look fabulous forever and can be easily wiped clean.
This summary shot shows a close-up of the corners of each home decor product for ease in comparison. Hover over the image to reveal the caption that will identify each home decor product.

As with all orders, there is a charge for shipping. Mpix goes the extra mile when packaging your order to be sure that it arrives at your doorstep safely. Every product was carefully wrapped in several layers of protection and secured in place with tape inside the box so that there is no bumping the sides of the box in transport. My only complaint is that it took me a long time to get through all of the layers to see my beautiful treasures inside.
I am always available to assist my clients with the ordering process, and I would be happy to offer advice about sizes, product choices, and placement in your home or office. The possibilities are endless. So, as you browse through your gallery of portraits, you may be looking with a new purpose. Take that favorite portrait(s) and elevate it (them) to a level of even greater impact. I am certain that you will love your portraits even more.
Love and smiles,

Update: The shipping fee has increased to $3.99.
I've been hearing rumblings for a while now about Simon Malls implementing changes to their Visa gift cards. I assumed this would involve lower limits on the number of cards that could be purchased or perhaps a ban on credit cards altogether. Reader Tim alerted me this morning to the changes that have been implemented, which are mostly positive. I have outlined them below:
1. Simon Mall Visa Gift Cards are now issued by Metabank. Previously, Simon Mall Visa gift cards were issued by U.S. Bank. This doesn't change much, since the Metabank issued cards are PIN-enable and can be used to fund Bluebird cards at Walmart. The American Express version of the card is still available, but most of us don't buy those anyway.
2. A new look. This isn't really relevant in the grander scheme of things, but the card does look drastically different. So if you buy these in-store, don't be thrown off when you get these:
3. A new way to buy them. Along with the actual cards, the Simon Mall gift card page has also been redesigned and the Visa and American Express logos aren't initially displayed. Once you pick a card design, you'll see an option to choose between the two versions. When you pick the Visa version, you'll be redirected to a Simon Giftcard page "powered by Gift Card Mall" and the order process is identical to the one involved when ordering GCM Visa gift cards. The difference is that you can only buy up to $500 in Simon Mall Visa gift cards at a time – including the $2.95 fee. So really, you need to enter $497 for the purchase amount. For a more direct path to the purchase page, go to giftcardmall.com/simon.aspx.
4. Change in fees, purchase limit. Previously, it cost $5.95 to purchase $500 Simon Mall Visa gift cards online. Now that Gift Card Mall is processing the orders, a $2.95 card fee applies and shipping is $1.99. While the fees have been reduced by $1.01, the maximum denomination you can purchase has decreased by $3. For the maximum $497 gift card order, customers will pay a total of $501.94, including shipping and fees.

By Anshul Tewari:
When life was all about hitting puberty, I remember my grandfather telling me that masturbation can cause blindness. Now that we are past that, a study (released May 2014) says that watching porn might shrink your brain. Yes, you compulsive porn-watcher, I'm talking to you!
When the study first came out, the members of the global pornographic abode, the internet, went berserk! News websites were quick to jump to conclusions and porn viewers were made fun of – but the question lingered. Is it true that watching porn really shrinks your brain?
Thanks to all those on the interwebs who deciphered the study for lesser mortals like myself – the researchers – Simone Kühn, a psychologist, and Jürgen Gallinat, a psychiatrist scanned the brains of 64 healthy men (average age 29) in three ways – and found that your love for porn could very well be the reason why your grey matter is shrinking.
The three way scan went from a simple structural brain scan, a look at the patterns of brain activation when the men viewed sexual or neutral images and a look at brain activity while the men relaxed in the scanner for five minutes. The men also answered questions about how much porn they watched on a regular basis. Averaging four hours a week, they did not really meet the criteria for Internet sex addiction.
And how exactly does your brain shrink? Men who said they spent more time watching porn tended to have smaller amount of grey matter (the darker tissue of our brain responsible also for our alleged intellect) in a subcortical region near the front of the brain – the right striatum – that's known to be involved in the processing of reward (think dog-handshake-biscuit, something like that for human folk), among many other things. While the more avid porn viewers showed reduced connectivity between their right striatum and their left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the part which, among other things, is involved in both risky (driving at 120kmph?) and moral decision making by human beings. Woah!
So next time you are immoral, blame it on porn? Well not really! What the study did not focus on was whether people with lesser grey matter were inherently more likely to watch porn or not. Moreover, the study skipped personality traits and behaviour analysis – both of which are directly related to an individual's media consumption patterns. Without these, the study is nothing but virtually meaningless and leaves much to be guessed. It also had many other loopholes, such as failing to follow up on participants over time, and dependence on their self-reported porn viewing time – which they might or might not have lied about, depending on their personality traits.
Moreover, sire Kühn and Gallinat, why did you forget the women folk? Is porn just a male-watching business?
For now, even though this study came out in the respected medical journal JAMA Psychiatry, there is no sure-shot way to prove that porn watching can really cause your brain to shrink.
So is it true that porn watching causes brain-shrinkage? Well we don't really know. At least not yet. So until then, watch away! And while you're at it, don't forget that porn, for all its pleasures, is not reality. It is entertainment.

Head for cold water at least, immediately you suffer skin burns. Milk with ice blocks is better. This stops the pain rapidly.
The pain, reddening, blistering and weeping you see, are the reaction of your skin to the thermal insult. There is no actual charring of skin except in very severe burns.
All this is produced by the chemical metabolic processes in the skin cells, which depend on the activity of numerous catalysts called enzymes.
Most of our body's enzymes like to work at normal body temperatures, and are less active at higher or lower temperatures.
The milk at near 32 degrees Fahrenheit, slows them down and prevents our skin from reacting to the heat. No reaction - no obvious skin burns.
Iced milk rather than water is used, as the water would force itself into our skin, whereas the milk withdraws water from the skin, reducing swelling. This is an osmotic effect.
Immerse the burnt part fully in the iced milk if you can, or cover the burnt area with cloth and continually pour iced milk over it (and collecting the milk to reuse it, adding ice blocks as needed.)
With very extensive burns, heat loss from the body limits the time this can be applied for. For smaller burns, continue until the part no longer pains when it is withdrawn from the milk. This is often over an hour.
Years ago one of my patients tipped boiling water into one gum boot. He was carrying a copper of recently boiled water when he tripped over his dog. He needed to sit up all that night, before the pain no longer returned on removing his leg from the iced milk.
His experience taught me a lesson, however. His foot looked and felt perfectly normal 2 or 3 days later, and so he put on his boots and went to work. That evening when he took his boots off, a lot of skin came off too.
I saw him at that stage, and the skin was deep red, weeping and bubbly. It had sheared off because the iced milk had not been able to inhibit the reaction in the deeper layers of his skin, and this part was then weakened.
I have been told, and would be very interested in hearing from anyone who knows of it, that men working in foundries would immediately put a burnt part up against the heat of the furnace, as that relieved the pain of the burn. I've not been able to confirm this more recently, with local contacts.
This would work on the same principle, but here inhibiting the enzymes by raising the temperature instead of cooling it.
Treatment by fever.
While on the subject of enzymes temperature dependence, we do have some which like it hot - in our immune system.
Germs have to be adapted to invading a (relatively) healthy body, with a temperature in the usual range, up to 98.4 or 37 Celsius.
One of our defenses is to shift the goal posts, by developing a fever. In years gone by, a treatment for syphilis was to give a person malaria as well.
Josef Issels was a famous German oncologist, who used conventional and alternative modalities very effectively. He included injections of bacterial extracts to force the body to run a fever, as part of his cancer treatment.
Cancer cells are more susceptible to damage by fever, than any healthy cells.
Treatment of fever is seldom needed and likely to be counter productive.
A small number of children do have febrile convulsions, from about 18 months to about 5 years. These are very frightening - I know, as one of our children had them.
This is not usually prevented by treating fever, as the first thing you know about an acute feverish illness in such children, is the convulsion.
Honey for treating burns
The Indian researcher Subrahmanyam reported trials¹ of this treatment, compared with various other treatments including silver suphdiazine cream, and found it more effective in promoting healing and reducing infection.
Leg ulcers from venous stasis are usually on the inner side of the lower leg, a few inches above the ankle bone.
You can check to confirm this as the cause of an ulcer, by prodding the skin around it. It will be quite hard from swelling, caused by the high pressure in the skin veins which forces fluid out into the tissues.
The only wound treatment that matters here, is compression stocking or bandaging, to remove that swelling. For more on this, see the limb pain page
Certainly licking will relieve itch of mosquito bites. Moisten it, allow to dry, then apply another layer of saliva. A few layers and the itch goes.
Concern has been aired re the licking of wounds, because of germs in saliva. Human bites are much more prone to getting infected, than say dog bites. This has been attributed to lack of oral hygiene of the biter.
If you take care of your oral hygiene you can probably lick away. A letter² to the Lancet June 14th 1997 described observations of Saliva nitric oxide production....
"Saliva contains antimicrobial substances
including thiocyanate and lysozyme,
and salivary glands concentrate nitrate,
which is rapidly converted to nitrite by
facultative anaerobes on the tongue
surface.³ When acidified, nitrite is
converted to nitric oxide, a powerful
antimicrobial substance.."
Wound dressings
For ordinary non infected wounds, I like duoderm. This is a leathery adhesive dressing, which keeps the wound moist and still. Three different thicknesses allow for different amounts of exudation, but it is not suitable for an infected wound with a lot of exudate.

Quick Trackpad Repair
My Trackpad's rubber foot broke off. Rather than paying some crazy amount for a replacement, I just decided to fix it myself.
After much poking and prodding, I finally came to the conclusion that this was just an ordinary piece of rubber awkwardly glued to the inside of the trackpad to make it more difficult for people to replace it without making it look horrendously ugly.
I came to the conclusion that it was pretty crazy of Apple to not give me an easy way to repair this thing without making it look ugly. So I had to up the ante a bit and bring in something crazier… Crazy Glue, that is. At the end of the day, Crazy Glue and I had triumphed over Apple's attempt at making me pay full price for a replacement… so what if it's ugly?

Is 400 horse power to much for my 1978 f150 with a 2 in lift with 32in tires?
3 Answers
No it is not, but that 351M 400 engine is junk.
351M / 400 is a good motor, not excellent, but good in it's day. 400 HP is probably overkill, but it's your money.
Teaching high speed pursuit driving for many years I have to ask why 400 HP in a pickup? Great if you only want to go straight. With the smallest engine you can find in any pick-up you can roll it on it's side while cornering at 40 MPH. Rule on any PD. No pursuit driving in department pickups.
