Look no further if you want to resuscitate your moribund weekly grilled chicken dinner. You have found the answer here. After they taste this, your family will certainly NOT be saying, "Oh. Chicken again?"
The aromatics in here are amazing – lemongrass! ginger! garlic! hot pepper! fish sauce! soy sauce! Wait…back up there…fish sauce? Most definitely yes. Don't be afraid of it; this is one of the keys to authentic Vietnamese flavor. When you open the bottle and sniff…uh, whoa…aquarium! Not to worry. Your finished dish won't taste fishy at all. It will be scary good, and so it is worth getting to know fish sauce for that reason alone.
A recipe handed down from a first-generation Vietnamese-American mother to her daughter, this is one tasty gift. Kim at Rusticgardenbistro.com is the lucky daughter who has been eating this her whole life. You can see her version here; she makes it with a whole bird, but I wanted to get two dinners out of it, so I made it with a boatload of my favorite chicken piece – skin-on, bone-in thighs.
In this case, a boatload = 8 meaty thighs, so I tweaked her marinade recipe to accommodate. In tweaking, I also simplified the preparation for my needs, while keeping true to her original. This is one flavor-packed dish! Even though it has a pepper in it, it is not overly spicy. My kids gobbled it up.
The flavors in here may be complex, but this chicken is a simple pleasure. Thank you Kim and Kim's mom!
Grilled Lemongrass Ginger Chicken
This is best eaten if marinated for at least a day, so get it into the refrigerator a day before you want to cook it. It can marinate for two days if needed.
2 stalks lemongrass
2-inch piece fresh ginger (about 3 tablespoons finely minced)
5 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 jalapeno or Serrano pepper, finely minced
4 tablespoon palm sugar (or use brown sugar)
3 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
8 meaty chicken thighs, with skin on and bone in (about 3 1/2 pounds)
If you haven't used lemongrass before, this is what you do for this recipe: Peel outer layer of lemongrass. Cut off top third of stalk, then cut off root end of stalk; discard. Thinly slice rest of stalk crosswise, and then finely mince it. It should smell lemony!
Peel and finely mince the ginger and garlic. Finely minced the pepper (if you like a milder flavor, begin by slicing pepper in half and removing seeds before mincing). I have done all this mincing of ginger, garlic and pepper by hand, or the short way in my mini food processor. Suit yourself.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together lemongrass, ginger, garlic, pepper, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil and rice vinegar.
Trim any big globs of fat off chicken (leaving skin on), and place chicken in large zipper-top plastic bag. Pour marinade into the bag and massage the chicken and the marinade together with your fingers. Zip the top, squeezing air out, and marinate in refrigerator for at least 1-2 days.
When ready to cook, heat grill, remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and grill chicken over low heat for about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately.
Serves 8.

The multi-center Lung Genomics Research Consortium will use advanced genetic and molecular tools to characterize and better understand chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary fibrosis, then share its discoveries with researchers around the world in a web-accessible data warehouse. "Our aim is create a genetic and molecular treasure trove for the research community to redefine these lung diseases precisely and unequivocally," said David Schwartz, MD, one of the lead researchers on the project and Director of The Center for Genes, Environment and Health at National Jewish Health. "The genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, and phenotypic data we generate will provide an unprecedented window into the origins, dynamic biological features and unique presentations of these diseases. It will allow researchers to make fundamental discoveries that help identify individuals at risk for these diseases, diagnose them earlier, and develop more effective, personalized treatments." Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. The incidence of pulmonary fibrosis has doubled over the past decade, and now kills about 40,000 Americans each year. There are few effective treatments for either disease, and both diseases are fatal. Researchers will study tissue samples from the NHLBI Lung Tissue Research Consortium biorepository then combine the data they generate with pathobiological, clinical and radiological data already gathered for these samples. The biorepository now contains almost 1,300 well characterized tissue samples and collects about 250 additional samples per year from patients with COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and other chronic lung diseases. This project will be led by a team of principal investigators, including David Schwartz, MD, at National Jewish Health, Mark Geraci, MD, at the University of Colorado Denver's School of Medicine; Naftali Kaminski, MD, and Frank Sciurba, MD, at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; John Quackenbush, PhD, at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; and Avrum Spira, MD, at Boston University School of Medicine. Media Resources We have many faculty members, from bench scientists to clinicians, who can speak on almost any aspect of respiratory, immune, cardiac and gastrointestinal disease as well as lung cancer and basic immunology.

Police Corruption and Misconduct
The violation of state and federal laws or the violation of individuals' constitutional rights by police officers; also when police commit crimes for personal gain.
Police misconduct and corruption are abuses of police authority. Sometimes used interchangeably, the terms refer to a wide range of procedural, criminal, and civil violations. Misconduct is the broadest category. Misconduct is "procedural" when it refers to police who violate police department rules and regulations; "criminal" when it refers to police who violate state and federal laws; "unconstitutional" when it refers to police who violate a citizen's civil rights; or any combination thereof. Common forms of misconduct are excessive use of physical or deadly force, discriminatory arrest, physical or verbal harassment, and selective enforcement of the law.
Police corruption is the abuse of police authority for personal gain. Corruption may involve profit or another type of material benefit gained illegally as a consequence of the officer's authority. Typical forms of corruption include bribery, extortion, receiving or fencing stolen goods, and selling drugs. The term also refers to patterns of misconduct within a given police department or special unit, particularly where offenses are repeated with the acquiescence of superiors or through other ongoing failure to correct them.
Safeguards against police misconduct exist throughout the law. Police departments themselves establish codes of conduct, train new recruits, and investigate and discipline officers, sometimes in cooperation with civilian complaint review boards which are intended to provide independent evaluative and remedial advice. Protections are also found in state law, which permits victims to sue police for damages in civil actions. Typically, these actions are brought for claims such as the use of excessive force ("police brutality"), false arrest and imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and wrongful death. State actions may be brought simultaneously with additional claims for constitutional violations.
Through both criminal and civil statutes, federal law specifically targets police misconduct. Federal law is applicable to all state, county, and local officers, including those who work in correctional facilities. The key federal criminal statute makes it unlawful for anyone acting with police authority to deprive or conspire to deprive another person of any right protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States (Section 18 U.S.C. § 241 [2000]). Another statute, commonly referred to as the police misconduct provision, makes it unlawful for state or local police to engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives persons of their rights (42 U.S.C.A. 14141 [2000]).
Additionally, federal law prohibits discrimination in police work. Any police department receiving federal funding is covered by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. § 2000d) and the Office of Justice Programs statute (42 U.S.C. § 3789d[c]), which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, and religion. These laws prohibit conduct ranging from racial slurs and unjustified arrests to the refusal of departments to respond to discrimination complaints.
Because neither the federal criminal statute nor the civil police misconduct provision provides for lawsuits by individuals, only the federal government may bring suit under these laws. Enforcement is the responsibility of the justice department. Criminal convictions are punishable by fines and imprisonment. Civil convictions are remedied through injunctive relief, a type of court order that requires a change in behavior; typically, resolutions in such cases force police departments to stop abusive practices, institute types of reform, or submit to court supervision.
Private litigation against police officers or departments is difficult. Besides time and expense, a significant hurdle to success is found in the legal protections that police enjoy. Since the late twentieth century, many court decisions have expanded the powers of police to perform routine stops and searches. Plaintiffs generally must prove willful or unlawful conduct on the part of police; showing mere negligence or other failure of due care by police officers often does not suffice in court.
Most problematically of all for plaintiffs, police are protected by the defense of immunity—an exemption from penalties and burdens that the law generally places on other citizens. This immunity is limited, unlike the absolute immunity enjoyed by judges or legislators. In theory, the defense allows police to do their job without fear of reprisal. In practice, however, it has become increasingly difficult for individuals to sue law enforcement officers for damages for allegedly violating their civil rights. U.S. Supreme Court decisions have continually asserted the general rule that officers must be given the benefit of the doubt that they acted lawfully in carrying out their day-to-day duties, a position reasserted in Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 121 S. Ct. 2151, 150 L. Ed. 2d 272 (2001).
Society has grappled with misconduct and corruption issues for as long as it has had police officers. Through the mid-to-late nineteenth century, private police forces were commonplace, and agents of Pinkerton's and other forhire services became notorious as the muscle employers used to violently end strikes. Heavyhanded law enforcement as well as vigilantism by groups such as the racist ku klux klan spurred passage of the civil rights act of 1871, which criminalized acting under state law to deprive a person of constitutional or other rights under federal law. section 1983 of the act remains a critical tool in the early 2000s for enforcing constitutional rights, with direct applicability to police misconduct cases.
The twentieth century saw multiple legal, administrative, and scholarly approaches to the problem. Some developments bore indirectly upon police misconduct, such as the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which gave new protections to citizens who had long suffered discriminatory policing. Additionally, a string of landmark Supreme Court decisions during the era gave new force both to individual privacy rights as well as to curbs upon police power: highly influential cases resulted in the strengthening of fourth amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure, evidentiary rules forbidding the use at trial of evidence tainted by unconstitutional police actions, and the establishment of the so-called Miranda Warning requiring officers to advise detained suspects of their constitutional rights.
While these decisions profoundly shaped the legal and social landscape, renewed focus on police misconduct and corruption occurred in the latter part of the century. As the pioneering criminologist Herman Goldstein argued, traditional views were based on the assumption that police abuse reflected the moral failings of individual officers—the so-called "bad cop." Public scandals began to shape a new view of the problem. In 1971, New York City organized the Knapp Commission to hold hearings on the extent of corruption in the city's police department. Police officer Frank Serpico's startling testimony against fellow officers not only revealed systemic corruption but highlighted a longstanding obstacle to investigating these abuses: the fraternal understanding among police officers known variously as "the Code of Silence" and "the Blue Curtain" under which officers regard testimony against a fellow officer as betrayal.
Broader recognition of the problem brought more ambitious reform efforts in the 1980s and 1990s. Spurred by the work of criminologists such as Goldstein and others, police departments sought to improve organizational rules, training, and prevention and control mechanisms. Such efforts are reflected in the publication of a code of police conduct by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, more rigorous training for officers, and experimented with so-called community policing programs to improve ties between officers and the public. Several cities established joint police and civilian complaint review boards to give citizens a larger role in what traditionally had been a closed, internal process by police departments.
Among the most dramatic examples of system-wide reform is New York City's response to long-standing brutality, discrimination, and corruption within the New York City Police Department (NYPD). After flirting with civilian review of complaints against police in the 1960s, the city committed to it after public outcry over the videotaping of officers beating citizens who violated curfew in 1988. The city subsequently established its Civilian Complaint Review Board, which became an all-civilian agency in 1993. In 1992, responding to new complaints, Mayor David N. Dinkins appointed the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Police Corruption and the Anti-Corruption Procedures of the Police Department, known as the Mollen Commission. Two years later, the commission concluded that the city had alternated between cycles of corruption and reform. Afterwards, in 1995, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani established the full-time Commission to Combat Police Corruption (CCPC) as an entity independent from the police department. The CCPC monitors
the NYPD anti-corruption policies and procedures, conducts audits, and issues public reports.
Contemporary Problems
Despite legal safeguards and well-intentioned reforms, police problems have continued to produce headlines. The exact scope of misconduct is unknown. Misconduct complaints can be quantified on a city-by-city basis, but these data are often subjective, and far more complaints are filed than ever are evaluated at trial. Corruption is even harder to measure. As the National Institute of Justice acknowledged in its May 2000 report, The Measurement of Police Integrity, most corruption incidents go unreported, and data that do exist "are best regarded as measures of a police agency's anticorruption activity, not the actual level of corruption."
During the late 1990s, highly-publicized cases in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Detroit, and Cleveland exposed an apparently new trend: police drug corruption. In the Cleveland case alone, the FBI arrested 42 officers from five law enforcement agencies in 1998 on charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine. In a 1998 report to U.S. Congressman Charles B. Rangel, the federal general accounting office (GAO) found evidence of growing police involvement in drug sales, theft of drugs and money from drug dealers, and perjured testimony about illegal searches. The GAO survey of police commission reports and academic research suggested a troubling new dimension previously not seen in studies of police corruption. Traditionally, police corruption had been understood to involve individuals acting alone, but the new trend revealed officers working in small groups to protect and assist each other.
In 1999, this pattern emerged in one of the worst police corruption scandals in U.S. history. The scandal involved the Los Angeles Police Department's Rampart precinct and particularly its elite anti-gang unit, CRASH (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums). Following local and federal investigations, CRASH was dismantled, some 70 officers were investigated, and several either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of crimes ranging from drug theft and peddling to assault, fabricating arrests, and filing false reports.
The Rampart scandal bore heavy costs, financially as well as in human terms. Several dozen criminal convictions credited to the work of the corrupt officers were overturned. By 2003, the city had already paid $40 million to settle lawsuits. In a settlement with the federal government in 2000, the Los Angeles City Council accepted a consent decree that placed the city's police department under the supervision of a federal judge for five years to implement and monitor reforms.
However, reform is no panacea. Even New York City's extensive reforms were called into doubt by two high-profile police cases in the 1990s. Both highlighted the difficulties inherent in prosecuting even apparently clear-cut misconduct. The first, in 1997, involved Haitian immigrant Abner Louima, who was shockingly beaten in a police cruiser and sodomized in a bathroom with a broom handle by four NYPD officers. Louima ultimately settled a civil case against the department for $8.7 million in 2001, one of the highest police brutality settlements ever paid and the highest by New York City since paying a $3 million settlement in the choking death of Anthony Baez in 1994.
Yet, despite much public frustration, prosecution of the officers was less conclusive. Officer Justin Volpe pleaded guilty to leading the sodomy assault and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. However, in 1999, his fellow three officers were acquitted on charges of assault in the police cruiser; one of them, officer Charles Schwarz, was convicted of violating Louima's civil rights for holding him down during the bathroom assault. In 2000, all three were convicted of obstructing justice for their actions in covering up evidence of the attack, but these convictions were later overturned in United States v. Schwarz, 283 F.3d 76 (2d Cir. 2002). Ordered a new trial on the civil rights charge, Schwarz reached a plea bargain in September 2002, agreeing to be sentenced to a 5-year prison term.
The second New York controversy involved the killing in 1999 of an unarmed man. Four undercover police officers shot Amadou Diallo 41 times after stopping the Guinean immigrant in the vestibule of his apartment building, where, they said, he reached into his back pocket. Large public protests attracted activists such as Susan Sarandon and former New York mayor David Dinkins, who argued that the department's so-called Aggressive Street Crimes Unit was in fact far too aggressive. In 2000, the four officers were acquitted in a trial that supporters said vindicated them but which critics blamed on lax prosecution.
Outside the courts, mounting resentment over discriminatory misconduct by police officers has occasionally led to rioting. In contemporary experience, the Los Angeles riots in 1992 followed the acquittal of white police officers charged with the videotaped beating of black motorist rodney king. In April 2001, three days of rioting in Cincinnati followed the acquittal of a white police officer on charges of shooting Timothy Thomas, a 19-year old unarmed black man.
Cities, courts, police departments, and criminologists all continue to examine ways to bring meaningful reform to police departments. Some critics have argued that misconduct and corruption are age-old problems that resist all efforts at eradication; the best society can do, in this view, is monitor and correct. Others trace recent problems to public policy that emphasizes aggressive policing of drug, gang, and street crimes. Whatever the cause and the solution, until more efficacious remedies are found, some citizens will still require protection from the very people appointed to protect and serve them.

Your Day in TSA BS: Wounded Marine Ordered to Remove Uniform b/c "Too Much Metal;" "Arm Doesn't Work" But Ordered to Put Hands Above Head; "Treated Like a Terrorist"
Do you think America's skies are that much safer and freer from terrorist attack because wounded retired Marine Cpl. Nathan Kemnitz was molested and ordered to remove his uniform because there was "too much metal"? Well, the TSA safety theater actors who work at Sacramento International Airport apparently think so. Meanwhile, Mohammed and Hamida just walk on by . . . laughing all the way to 72-revirginized paradise.
Ret. Marine Cpl. Nathan Kemnitz Gets Dishonored, Disrespected, and Dissed by the TSA
Wearing the uniform of the Few and Proud doesn't rate preferential treatment from the Transportation Security Administration or California capitol security officers, retired Marine Cpl. Nathan Kemnitz recently found.
Kemnitz, severely injured in 2004 in a roadside bomb attack in Fallujah, has limited use of his right arm and cannot lift it above his head. So when security guards at the state capitol building in Sacramento, Calif., asked him to remove his dress blue blouse "because he was wearing too much metal," and TSA asked him to raise his arms above his head for the full-body scanner at Sacramento International Airport, he could not comply. "My right arm doesn't work. It's a lot of hassle for me to do that," Kemnitz said.
At the state capitol, the Marine's refusal to remove his uniform top grew into a heated exchange between Kemnitz, a friend who was accompanying him and security officers. At the airport, bystanders stared as the TSA security screener looked under Kemnitz's medals, ran his hands under the Marine's waistband and swabbed his shoes for explosives.
"What does a uniform and heroism represent if our own citizens — in this case employees of the TSA and security personnel — have no regard for them?" wrote Kemnitz's escort, Patricia Martin, to Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki following the incidents.
Martin took photos and disseminated them to family, friends and members of the media. "I feel so strongly that you need to know just how shamefully even a Purple Heart recipient/disabled veteran can be treated by some TSA and security employees," she said. Kemnitz said after the incidents that he was not as annoyed with TSA officers as he was with a security screener at the California state capitol, whom he described as rude and unapologetic.
Kemnitz was visiting the building to be honored as his legislative district's veteran of the year. "At some places I'm treated like royalty and at some like a terrorist. There's got to be something in the middle," he said.
The incident was not the first to spark similar outrage. In January, NBC journalist Luke Russert tweeted his irritation at an enhanced security screening at Reagan National Airport of a troop wearing a prosthetic. "Making Wounded Warriors with prosthetic legs go through extra explosives screening. #fail," Russert wrote. In March, bystanders notified Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., about what they perceived to be maltreatment of a double amputee by TSA screeners at Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport. . . . To receive the expedited service, TSA asks affected personnel to call the agency's Military Severely Injured Joint Service Operations Center before traveling.
I understand the extra security ONLY if there is any doubt that these are actual military veterans (because Muslims can obtain military garb to try to evade screening if the process had that hole in it–and we know that several Muslims who are not military vets have been found with fake military uniforms and IDs). But this is ridiculous, and the TSA should have some decency, common sense, and discretion and use it in cases like this. It's not like this guy is gonna blow the airport up with his medals and his injured arm that doesn't work. Helloooooo . . . ? And, if we're not gonna profile Muslims, there is absolutely no point to screening anyone and everyone, including and especially men like this who served and sacrificed for America.
It's just, as I said, security theater. No security in reality. We are LESS secure as a nation than we were on 9/10/01.
To review:
Also not making us safer . . .
* Groping Donald Rumsfeld; and
* Hiring a gazillion America-hating, Hezbo-supporting Muslim TSA biotches at Detroit Metro Airport to feel up nuns.
As I always say: TSA = Tough S–t, America.
Remember, this is the TSA that misses 75% of the bombs that go through. In school, that was an "F." In real life, it's certain death.

The angel turns, looks at the crimson-and-gray mansion and smiles. "That's not Mike Price's," he says. "It's God's."
Did you hear about the Husky linebacker who stole the police car?
He saw the 9-1-1 on the side and thought it was a Porsche.
What do you call a Husky in a three-piece suit?
The defendant.

Mike Price dies and goes to heaven. He introduces himself to an angel at the pearly gates, who leads him to a street where there's a crimson-and-gray mansion. He then notice a larger, purple-and-gold mansion with three pools, a tennis court and 24-karat gold gates. "But how come Don James gets that one?" Price asks. The angel turns, looks at the purple-and-gold mansion and smiles. "That's not Don James'," he says. "It's God's."

Nelson Announce US Release Date For 'Lightning Strikes Twice'
Nelson Announce US Release Date For 'Lightning Strikes Twice'
January 11, 2011
Multi-platinum recording artists NELSON led by twin lead front men Matthew & Gunnar Nelson announced the U.S. release date of their new original album Lightning Strikes Twice, a seamless sequel to After the Rain their classic multi-platinum debut album as they celebrate the 20th Anniversary milestone of the phenomenal record and its #1 Billboard hit "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection". EMI / Frontiers Records USA / Stone Canyon Records will release the new NELSON album sequel Lightning Strikes Twice in the U.S. on February 15, 2011.
To coincide with the new release and 20th Anniversary of After the Rain, EMI / Frontiers Records USA / Stone Canyon Records will also release twin (2) NELSON catalog albums: Before the Rain the demo collection of songs that secured their recording deal with Geffen Records in 1990 and Perfect Storm — After the Rain World Tour 1991 live concert album. The North American release of the twin rare NELSON albums on February 15, 2011, will be a complement to the release of NELSON's brand new original album sequel Lightning Strikes Twice.
"LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE is the creative masterpiece NELSON has waited over 20 years to unveil," enthuses Gunnar Nelson. "It's given us the opportunity to resolve some unfinished business musically and artistically. American fans have waited long enough. We're thrilled the U.S. release is finally here."
"The forecast for 2011 is incredible with releasing three NELSON albums," adds Matthew Nelson. "We are thrilled to be releasing our new original NELSON album LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE in the United States. Plus, NELSON fans should enjoy the journey through the time capsule provided by these rare collectible albums – BEFORE THE RAIN and PERFECT STORM."
Lightning Strikes Twice was recently released in Europe and the U.K. to overwhelming critical praise. Frank Thiessies of Metal Hammer Germany writes, "The two blonds have done the almost impossible: a comeback sequel as strong as Meatloaf's BAT OUT OF HELL II. This sequel alone has more hits than Bon Jovi's made in 18 years over 6 discs."
Britain's well-known music critic Alison Joy, who originally dubbed NELSON "the Timotei Twins" in Kerrang! in the U.K. back in 1990, writes in CLASSIC ROCK / AOR Legends magazine that Lightning Strikes Twice is "absolutely and unexpectedly awesome!"
"NELSON's return has been hailed by the Melodic Rock press as one of the highlights of the year," affirms Serafino Perugino, President & C.E.O. of Frontiers Records. "These results, along with the intrinsic quality of the album, make Frontiers extremely proud of this artistic cooperation. We look forward to more albums together with NELSON".
After the Rain was the debut multi-platinum album by NELSON in the early 1990s. They zoomed to number one with their hit song, "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection," which made history landing America's iconic Nelson family (bandleader Ozzie Nelson, rock legend Rick Nelson, and twins Matthew & Gunnar) into the Guinness Book of World Records as the ONLY family in Entertainment with three (3) successive generations of #1 hitmakers.
NELSON's After the Rain record and tour became a phenomenon just prior to the rise of grunge. The last major success of the good time rock'n'roll era, NELSON has had (1) Number One, (4) Top Ten, and (5) Top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit singles, plus (5) #1 MTV videos and has sold over 6.5 million albums worldwide!
Nelson has always been synonymous with entertainment in America. Matthew and Gunnar follow Ozzie Nelson's vision of embracing connecting with people and audiences through all forms of media. They have been doing television-hosting work for VH1 and E! Plus, Gunnar co-hosted LIFETIME Radio's nationally syndicated morning show.
NELSON has been headlining at major rock festivals around the globe celebrating the 20th anniversary of After the Rain. Touring in China, the U.K. where NELSON headlined the Firefest Rock Festival in 2010, and of course the U.S. where they have also toured extensively with Peter Frampton and Styx. A NELSON world tour in 2011 will soon be announced.
Lightning Strikes Twice tracklisting includes:Call Me; Day By Day; Ready, Willing and Able; How Can I Miss You?; You're All I Need Tonight; To Get Back To You; When You're Gone; Take Me There; Come; In It For The Money; Change a Thing; Kickin' My Heart Around.
The first single from the album released "You're All I Need Tonight" and "Call Me" are available to listen online exclusively with full in streaming on Frontiers Web radio. www.frontiers.it/webradio
NELSON filmed their first music video in over 15 years for the single "You're All I Need Tonight", which can be viewed below.

With Special Guest Appearances by:Gary Corbett: piano, keyboardsBrian Burwell: drumsDavid Morgan: piano, background vocalsSteve Lukather: guitar on "To Get Back To You"

During Microsoft's massive Xbox showcase at E3 2018, gaming chief Phil Spencer said that the company is "deep into architecturing the next Xbox consoles." Now we might know when to expect a new generation of Xbox hardware, as well as what's coming next for the Surface PC lineup.
Mentioned in this article
Xbox One X
The next Xbox generation is code-named "Scarlett" and scheduled for a 2020 release, Brad Sams reports at Thurrott.com. That's only a few years after the launch of the Xbox One X, and it'll be interesting to see whether Microsoft continues using AMD's APU technology to maintain backward compatibility—it's been a selling point for the company. If so, current hardware won't necessarily be made obsolete when Scarlett launches. Like the Xbox One X's relationship with the original Xbox One, the new hardware could simply offer advanced features that previous Xboxes don't, such as higher frame rates and graphical fidelity.
But notice that Spencer said "architecturing the next Xbox consoles" at E3—not console. Thurrot.com's sources says that Scarlett is an entire family of Xbox devices, not a single one. That's interesting all on its own, but doubly so with Microsoft working on a cloud service that streams console-quality gameplay to any device, as also announced this weekend. Game publishers Ubisoft and EA are also working on streaming services of their own, joining Nvidia and Sony's existing offerings. E3 2020 could be interesting.
New Surface devices
We've also got an idea of what's coming with Surface devices, courtesy of Brad Sams on Thurrott.com yet again. Sams is a longtime Microsoft reporter who's often broken news on the company.
Sams's sources confirmed an earlier Bloomberg report of Microsoft preparing a $400 Surface to challenge Apple's iPad, code-named Libra. It's expected before the end of the year. To recap, that device is expected to have a smaller 10-inch display, rounded edges, and a USB-C connection in place of Microsoft's proprietary charge port.
A dual-screen device dubbed Andromeda is also scheduled for a 2018 release, Sams reports, which seems more likely after Intel revealed its wild Tiger Rapids prototype at Computex 2018.
Asus already picked up the ball with the dual-screen Project Precog, but Thurrott.com says Microsoft is creating Andromeda to be a device small enough to slip in your pocket. The original Surface devices were created to inspire hardware makers like HP and Dell to create new devices tailored to Windows 8's strengths, and it sounds like Microsoft hopes OEM partners will release similar dual-screen devices in Andromeda's wake, too.
Finally, Sams says the next-gen Surface Pro is code-named Carmel and doesn't have a release date scheduled yet. Surface Laptop and Surface Studio weren't mentioned in the documentation Sams saw, either.
Mentioned in this article
Microsoft Surface Pro (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB)
Here's hoping that absence simply means no major new iterations are incoming just yet. The current versions of all these devices are pretty outstanding on the design front, but they could all use a spec bump. Intel's 8th-generation Core processors added more CPU cores to every part of the Core family, and virtually all portable PC makers have adopted the technology. The Surface devices still pack lesser-powered 7th-gen Core CPUs, and that makes them a lot less desirable than premium laptop options with newer chips, like the Dell XPS 13 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga.
What you need to know: While Sams has a long history and well-placed sources, you should take all rumors with a grain of salt until they're officially confirmed—especially right now. Microsoft recently underwent a major reorganization that jettisoned former Windows and Devices boss Terry Myerson, so these Xbox and Surface plans are likely up for reevaluation. Last time that happened, when Satya Nadella became Microsoft's CEO, the Surface Mini suffered an abrupt death on the eve of its reveal.

The Daily Beast: Lamothe Tells Clinton Global Initiative Haiti 'Rising From the Ashes'
Written by Nina Strochlic for The Daily Beast on September 24, 2012
Two years after a devastating earthquake, Haiti is still rebuilding. But new Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe has big plans for the poverty-stricken nation—as he told a star-studded Clinton Global Initiative session Monday. Nina Strochlic reports.
"Dear friends of Haiti, we are indeed on the right track," said newly minted Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe to a standing ovation at Monday's Clinton Global Initiative session on Haiti's future. "Slowly but surely we are rising from the ashes."
Two years after the disastrous earthquake that left thousands dead and millions homeless, the country is slowly building itself back up. The next four years, Lamothe said, will witness massive reconstruction of infrastructure, from roads to schools to government buildings that were destroyed in 2010. Some progress has already been made in Haiti: 1.25 million children are now enrolled in primary school, and 40 percent of Lamothe's Cabinet is female. ("I'm surrounded by women!" he joked.) But in a country where 50 percent of the population is living on less than $1 a day, Lamothe's first priority is the eradication of extreme poverty—a sentiment echoed by almost every speaker at "Haiti: Lessons for the Future."
The Clinton Global Initiative has ramped up its efforts in Haiti in recent years, with $352 million in commitments dedicated to the impoverished nation over the past three years. President Clinton took a special interest to Haiti and was appointed the U.N. special envoy to help mitigate disaster relief after the hurricane in 2010. Lamothe thanked Clinton for his "unconditional and unwavering support to the Haitian cause," calling him a "genuine friend" to the Haitian people. "Nations don't die when they can count on the solidarity you all have shown," the prime minister told the audience.
Taking the stage, Cheryl Mills, chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was unabashed in her criticism of how Western nations had dealt the vulnerable country in the past. "We were prone to pursue what we deemed good for Haiti," she acknowledged. But now, said Mills, the American government's mind-set has evolved to "focus on Haiti's policies instead of ours." She said she hopes emerging business ventures and government efforts—they're working on a new electrical grid, solar farm, and housing settlements—will be able to bring out the best the island nation has to offer. "There's a gap between what Haiti is and what it has potential to be," Mills said.
Longtime Haiti investor Anne Hastings, chief executive of Fonkoze Financial Services, made a statement that drew cheers from a crowd used to hearing about government corruption and neglect in the country: "I've worked in Haiti for 16 years and this is the first time I've seen a well-thought-out attack on extreme poverty by the government," she said.
Hastings and Mills's faith was mirrored by all the speakers who discussed projects and investments in the region. "Haiti is able to unite people," Mills said to a cast of all-star supporters of the Caribbean nation who turned out to talk about the country's problems. Chelsea Clinton sat in the front, across from Russell Simmons and Petra Nemcova. Behind the two was Paul Farmer, president Clinton's other half as the U.N. special envoy to Haiti. Hunched in the back of the room, long hair slicked back, was Sean Penn, who was praised for his efforts in Haiti both by Clinton and by Digicel founder Denis O'Brien, who called Penn's charity the one thing in the past year that has made the most profound difference.
"Haiti is about to become a symbol of the future," announced president Clinton, who made closing remarks. And, channeling Hillary Clinton, who said in the opening plenary Monday that the goal of Western aid workers and governments should be "putting ourselves out of business," commitment makers at the Clinton Global Initiative look forward to the day their efforts are no longer necessary. "Our long-term objective is to work ourselves out of a job," said Sasha Kramer, cofounder of a waste-recycling project in Haiti.
President Clinton looked proudly at the rows of seats filled with potential to make that goal come true. "He's the man who put us in the room and locked the door," O'Brien said. And his tactic seemed to have worked.

This is such a brilliant idea! I love canvas photos but they are so expensive and I don't want to be married to one picture forever.

Love this idea & like you won't/can't spend the money on "real" canvas. I read the link back about "easy in theory...", I could be wrong but I think there is a difference in some tissue paper such as, some from a craft store or card store and some from $ store & maybe that was the problem when it tore.
Also I was curious, do I need to add Modge Podge on top after smoothing out the tissue? Thanks so much!!

AwESoME! My brain is churning, I bought larger canvases so I just have to figure out a way to posterize. Thanks for posting (btw..found u at one pretty thing)
- September 21, 2010 at 6:35 PM
- The Cornett Family said...
I would definitely add the mod podge layer to the top. Because tissue paper is so thin, it could easily seat scratch and tear. Great question!
Thanks everyone for the nice comments!!

Found this via Pinterest. Did you use a plain inkjet printer and plain ink, or special ink? I love it, by the way!
- August 2, 2011 at 9:36 AM
- The Cornett Family said...
@ Tru
I just used regular printer ink, and not an amazing quality printer. I'm sure a great printer and great ink would enhance this project 100 times, but luckily it's not necessary.
Thanks for your comment!!

Great job.

My tissue paper has a shiny side and a dull side, which side did you print on? I know not all tissue paper is the same so wondering if it even makes a difference. Thank you for sharing this awesome project with us!! This is a must do on my list :)
- September 3, 2011 at 6:36 AM
- The Cornett Family said...
@ Victoria
The tissue paper I used for this project was dull on both sides, but since I do know for sure that the dull side works great, I would print onto the dull side. Plus, the dull side of the tissue paper would probably absorb the ink better on that side, allowing it to dry quicker, while the shiny side might be subject to smearing.
Great question, I hadn't thought of that!

That's great, I'm going to try it. My HP prints excellent pictures but wonder if it's too finicky for printing on the tissue? We'll see...I did this type of project with a regular photo too! I had them printed at Walgreens and Modge Podged them onto canvas. They looked great! http://shareandremember.blogspot.com/2010/12/sneak-peek.html

What kind of tissue paper do you use? Mine tore when I started trying to smooth it out....Help!
- September 20, 2011 at 11:25 AM
- The Cornett Family said...
Thanks again, everyone for the nice comments! I hope the project works out for you all!
@ karenlynn58
I'm about 90% sure i used tissue paper from Wal-mart. I think they only had one brand there, and I found it next to the gift wrap and balloons. Your tissue paper might be too thin and/or fiberous. Maybe try tissue paper from a craft or party store instead, it might prove a little more durable. Also, when mod podging the canvas before you apply the tissue paper, try applying a thinner layer. Sometimes too much mod-podge can over-saturate the tissue paper, which of course is bound to make the paper break up. Good question, let me know how it turns out!
- September 21, 2011 at 5:53 AM
- The Cornett Family said...
Another tip - When rubbing the tissue paper onto the canvas be even more gentle rubbing it than you would think being gentle would be. Imagine you are rubbing the back of a tiny, premature baby. Very very gentle!!

I've always understood that Ink-jet printers have ink that will "run" so how does this work when you place the tissue paper on a water-based product like Mod-Podge??? Shouldn't you print with a non-water based ink like in a LASER PRINTER?????
- September 27, 2011 at 9:58 AM
- AmyT said...
I love this. I pinned it because I think it is an awesome idea.
- September 27, 2011 at 11:34 AM
- The Cornett Family said...
@Janie Mae
Your point seems like a reasonable conclusion. All I know, is that I have a regular ink-jet printer, and it worked fabulously. I also know others who have used their ink-jet printers, and it has worked great. I'm sorry I don't have a better explanation as to why, but it really does work! Hope that helps :S
- September 27, 2011 at 4:52 PM
- Kerry_Kid Giddy said...
That's really cute! I can't bring myself to put burlap or tissue paper into my printer! Maybe I shall try! have you ever gotten a piece stuck? So scared to ruin it! (brand new)!
- September 29, 2011 at 9:30 AM
- minty tutu said...
I tried it - it worked! The first time I tried it the ink did run.
the second time I let the first layer of modge podge dry a bit - so that it wasn't wet - just tacky. much better results.
- October 3, 2011 at 4:43 PM
- Carmen said...
Thank you so much for this :) I found you via Pinterest and have fallen in love with this technique.I tried it on a mixed media canvas here: http://whoopidooings.blogspot.com/2011/10/grunge-goes-girly.html and will definitely be trying your photo canvas idea for Christmas presents this year!
Just as an aside - I have never bought Modpodge and I used my Paperpatch/Decopatch glue (I don't know if that is similar to Modpodge?) but it worked perfectly and like you, just a normal printer.

wooow.. I loved it :D
defiantly I'll try it once I get back home from Work today ^_^
- October 3, 2011 at 11:38 PM
- Jeanie said...
I wonder if you sprayed the picture lightly with a clear varnish type spray and let it dry first, then mod pogde it would not run as easy? Just a thought...very cute! I am excited to give it a try!

That's awesome. Found it on Pinterest, and have to try it!

What a cute idea! I wanted to try it right away, but didn't have any tissue paper. I had some vellum paper, so I used that to "play" around with. Turned out super cute. I modge podged the vellum photo to one of those floating picture frames. But I can't wait to try it with the tissue. I'm thinking Christmas presents!

I could not get this to work for me. I tried several times (like 10)but I keep getting streaks in my pictures. :( I really wanted this to work because it's a fabulous idea.

So glad to see this! I've seen several tuts on using a gel medium to actually transfer the picture to the canvas (or even to wood), but I wanted something simpler, and with products I already have ;) I can't wait to try it!!

My printer keeps tearing the tissue paper as I'm printing! It is super frustrating. I may try taping down all sides instead of just two..sigh. I want these to work so bad!!
- October 15, 2011 at 9:50 PM
- Bruce the Bird Dog said...
Found this on Pinterest! I used lightweight fabric interfacing and spray adhesive on card stock to get the same effect. NO tearing! My printer is a beast and ate the tissue paper. I just sprayed my cardstock with the adhesive, let it get tacky, and smoothed on a piece of Pellon interfacing..charm!

I recommend not printing straight black and white, or at least not on a lexmark printer.. it's really dark and/or bleeds. Also, I had to use two pieces of paper together so it wouldn't shred the tissue. *LIGHT* Ironing helped too but wasn't necessary the third go round ha.
- November 21, 2011 at 5:48 PM
- AFFerriss said...
Trying this now. Paper got torn up the first time through so I tried two printer papers vs just one and it worked. Though all the pictures I tried that had pure black in them bled really bad ( we look like watercolor people!) I also tried to do a top-coat of the modpodge for a glossy painted look... also do not recommend that. Unless maybe after it is totally dried and you have a very light, thin coat.. because it made it bleed too. Hopefully my second canvas comes out as beautiful as yours did!

Thank you, Sarah, for this marvelous technique. I have just finished applying the printed words, "Joy to the World" to a banner of canvas to decorate a Christmas tree. The hardest part was finding desirable font. The rest was just as you described and worked well with our inkjet printer. It saved tons of time in hand lettering!!! Thank you! Thank you!

I cant get the rinkles out. I see you used regular tissue paper but its not working for me. Any Sugestions? Its making streaks over our faces.

- Rona Gregory said...
Hannalo, don't know if this will help but when I stick anything to a canvas I sort of pad it out underneath to make it more firm and use a breyer to roll out creases as I find rubbing with fingers sometimes smudges the ink.
Sarah thanks for sharing... I have mod podged actual photos to canvas and then mod podged over them to give a textured effect but was wondering if you could use something thinner like tissue or silk...you have answered my question!

I did change the coloration to Sepia. I have Picasa downloaded on my computer (it's free), and on their editing menu to the left of the picture, they give an option to change to sepia. Super simple. Hope that helps!
- December 1, 2011 at 6:26 AM
I just tried this..I taped my tissue paper to a piece of card stock and it worked great! I did overlap the tissue all around and taped all edges...I read on another blog to put a towel over the picture when you are smoothing it down, that way you won;t tear the tissue paper. I just used the white tissue paper I found at Wal-Mart in the Christmas wrap section .97 for 20 sheets!

I'm making one as I type -- it's drying on the counter and looks SO GOOD. I used tracing paper as one commenter suggested. Thank goodness I did -- the black ink in my photo bled all over the place, but the tracing paper came off of the canvas so easily, I was able to rescue the canvas and try again!
To ease up on wrinkling, I suggest using either a squeegee OR a rubber spatula to smooth out the photo. You get a much better final product.
Thanks for this easy-peasy how-to. You saved my mother-in-law's Christmas gift!!!

I do these all the time with different media like print on fabric, photo paper etc and adhere to wood, fabric, and canvas using an ink jet printer. Saw some had issues using that. The key to ink jet printers is
1- let it dry 15 minutes first. DO NOT TOUCH!
2 cover with clean printer paper for 24 hours before using. The ink needs to dry completely! Ink jets take 24 hours to dry completely.
3 When you mod podge be light and quick about it and use a foam sponge brush. Don't overwork, don't press hard.
Just thought I'd share my personal experiences. :)

Looks great mod-podged on the canvas, but I could not for the life of me get one printed out nice without the ink getting smeared on the tissue. I googled all sorts of tips on printer settings to help with this and still couldn't get it just right...anyone have any tips that worked for them? I have an HP Photosmart printer.
- January 20, 2012 at 7:55 PM
- Kellie said...
Just made 2 for a last minute birthday present! They turned out great!! We did not have any problem with the printer or the ink but we did find that a VERY thin layer of mod podge was key. The first time we did what we thought was thin and the tissue ripped bad. Another thing we found is if we put the tissue face down on a table and then pressed the canvas onto the back of the tissue, then rub the back of the canvas we had an amazing outcome. No lines or bubbles, a very smooth image.
Thanks for this AMAZING idea!

This is a tip to keep your tissue from tearing when it goes through the printer. I very lightly iron my sheet of tissue paper onto the shiny side of a piece of parchment paper. You can get a roll of parchment paper on the same isle as foil and plastic wrap. After lightly ironing the two together, cut to 8.5 x 11 inches and run through the printer as you would any plain paper. Either allow it to dry completely or lightly dry it with a heat gun. (Leave the lower corner unironed so that you have a corner to start to peel the tissue paper back off the parchment when you are finished.)

I tried taping the tissue paper to the printer paper in every way imaginable, only to end up with a jammed printer every single time. I was super frustrated and ended up just doing the regular portrait modpodged to the canvas because I can't wait when I have something in mind lol. But I am determined to figure this out! By the way I bought my tissue paper from Hobby Lobby and it ripped and tore beyond belief!

Ok, I am having a lot of trouble... did any of this happen when you tried? My sepia pictures are turning GREEN when Mod Podged to the canvas and my tissue is tearing big time! I just bought regular old 49¢ white tissue paper from Walmart, do I need something thicker?? I am ruining canvases here!!
- March 28, 2012 at 9:48 AM
- Misty said...
Mine are turning a blue-greenish color too, when I modpodge over the top. Im wondering if we are not suppose to coat the top? But, how would it seal? Another thing, if it smudges, I can get the picture completely flat, no bubbles. But, If I do it quickly and lightly for a crisper picture result...I get bubbles galore that wont come out.

For people having printing issues you need to consider how much ink is on your image. You notice hers are very light. Also I tested my first one out and realized that printing at the "best" quality was actually worse ,it soaked the tissue paper and everything looked smudged. Print at your lowest most basic setting and it's perfect! I used dollar store tissue paper and it tore. I'm gonna go buy the good stuff and give it another try. I love this technique. Thank you!

I used tissue paper from the Dollar Tree and used the ModPodge spray (from a can) and it worked perfectly.
I also had to tape down all four sides, particularly up in the corner that was being fed into the printer first, to ensure that it caught properly.
Everyone LOVED them and thought that the canvas had been painted! Thank you so much for sharing your idea with the rest of us!

What a great tutorial - very popular too. I'd love to have a go at this and have some small canvases that would turn in to great gifts - especially if you could do several on a theme - I've an idea to do my mum one of my dad, who passed nearly 4 years ago now. I'm in the UK and don't have mod podge as a rule in my stash, however, we do use white PVA glue which will do a similar job if watered down a little.
Its been really useful reading everyones comments as I can understand what some of the pitfalls have been - I have what must be an artist grade tissue paper as I bought it from a craft shop with the idea of using it on candles - and it is particularly for use with an inkjet printer. I would tend to agree with the commenter that said to print on the lowest ink setting - less ink the better in this project, given the thinness of the paper.
Thanks for a great read and for fabulous ideas.

- ME said...
Started with your basic idea - It is my husband and my 30th anniversary with a traditional symbol of the pearl. I was not finding anything original. I had bought a shell at JoAnn's and was toying with putting a photo of my husband and me in the shell when I happened on your blog. I had no modge podge so experimented with AeroGel Hairspray - thinking I would play with it today and modge podge it tomorrow. The photo on tissue paper came out GREAT. I sprayed the shell with the hair spray and then I stretched the photo over the shell and sprayed more hair spray working it so that it is taut over the shells concave area - SO awesome! I looks like a specialty engraved item and will make a wonderful keepsake as our image catch the iridescent nature of the inside of the shell. Thanks for the help!

Saw this on pintrest! This is such a cute idea but my picture turned pink from the mod podge :( I saved the canvas quickly- but I think instead of tissue paper next time I'll use the tracing paper.

Im sorta sad i didnt think of it myself considering i use tissue paper in sooo many way. I would like to point out there is a technique for this using inkjey prints on regular paper and modpodge that works even though they are both water based. Also I use tissue paper and varnish to make all sorts of things out of paper mache (like masks), so while I havent tried it yet I bet varnish would work as well. I normally brush the varnisb ditectly onto the tissue and dont have problema with tearing. I have not done it with ink on the tissue so I cant say if it will bleed. This is a simple and great idea and im so glad I came across it!

I just finished 2 of these. After a few attempts I think I found the secrets to success. First, I found that placing the tissue paper on heavy duty cardstock helped with the printing problems. I also changed the printing quality to the lowest quality printing (fast draft and printed on the dull side of the tissue paper. I think the project turns out better when the photo being used has very little detail. Use a photo where there is not a lot of background. I actually modified my photo to lighten it before printing. Next, I very lightly coated the 8x10 canvas with the Mod Podge, placed the tissue paper face down on the table and then placed the canvas on top of the tissue paper to adhere to the canvas. I gently rubbed from the underside of the canvas from the center outward to try to eliminate any bubbling. I turned the canvas over and very gently rubbed any of the remaining bubbles. I then lightly painted the edges with the Mod Podge and very carefully wrapped the extra tissue paper around the sides and back of the canvas. Now, I am just trying to figure out how to finish the project. Think I will try a spray version of Mod Podge acrylic sealer. And lastly, I hope you won't need this tip, but if the tissue paper happens to tear while placing on the canvas, no problem, quickly run the canvas under water and rub the tissue paper off, allow to dry, and start all over.

Coming out with ink all over ...

@Karen Hill, I used mod podge with a matte finish, though I think a glossy finish would look nice over top as well. I'd you're not finishing it off with mod podge on top, then it really doesn't matter what kind you use as long as it is sticky and dries clear!

Hi, I had not so good results with the tissue paper. Will try it again with the parchment paper as suggested by Juli and if it still won't work for me, I'll try with tracing paper. Has anyone tried ONION SKIN PAPER? or is this the same as tracing paper? I remembered it's thinner than tracing paper. Maybe I'll try that one too. BTW, which side is best to put the tissue paper? Is it over the canvass face up or underneath the canvass face down? Thanks in advance. I love your idea!

I finally got this to work! Tissue and tracing paper both had smears of ink, but Swedish Tracing Paper (a sewing tracing paper similar to Pellon but not as stiff) The Swedish Tracing Paper (I don't know where you can get it, but maybe The Google does) absorbed the ink before it could smear. Thanks to all those who published their tweaks and successes!

canvas prints

I just did this saved Pinterest project today! I loved how the texture came out! However, my printer was not up to this and the black and white print came out with a greenish tint. Just FYI for those who have an older printer with low quality ink (you probably know who you are). I would do color or sepia next time.
- December 10, 2015 at 2:20 PM
- Unknown said...
I have tried this technique several times. It does take some practice to master but when you do, the results are great! I have used both tissue paper and onion skin paper which is thicker but fairly translucent. I haven't used ModgePog but used regular white glue watered down to 2 parts glue, 1 part water. I adhere my photos to canvas board rather than stretched canvas and print in sepia. You do have to work quickly when initially adhering the photo and a light coat of glue/ModgePog is the answer. NEVER apply a second coat until the first coat is completely dry. That is what caused smearing when I did my first attempt. When my project is completely dry, I ink the edges of the photo and sides of the canvas board with brown Staz-on permanent ink and then hang it using an old clipboard. It looks very 'vintage'!

I love a photo canvas because it gives a different feel than a classic frame. I feel as if it is softer, perfect for a nursery. I am not this talented but recently decorated my daughters nursery using a site called Makecanvasprints.com. This site lets you transform a photo into a beautiful canvases in a super easy to use 1-2-3 step manner that will ship the canvas right to your door. You can upload a personal photo, write a personal quote, and choose from their many graphics and backgrounds. Its a piece that will last, look great anywhere and is unique and one of a kind. Here is the link if anybody wants to check it out, I highly recommend it!
