Whats This All About AAAA Standard Guitar Wood?

The A's are just a grading system, and although some companies use their own grading systems, the A, AA, AAA model is almost universal. Flamed, curly, tiger, or fiddleback maple--all words used to describe the same thing--is rare as far as maple goes. Roughly one in a thousand trees yield that pattern of grain.

Having worked with the wood myself, I like to use the word 'flamed' but the most fitting description is 'curly.' The grain of the wood literally has a curl to it, a wavy pattern much like curly hair. I don't know if you know anything about sine waves, but that's the best way I can come up with to explain the grading system.

A sine wave basically looks like this: ////////////. Its frequency is a measurement of the distance between the peaks of the waves. For example, if that last wave was high frequency, a lower frequency would look a little bit like this: / / / / / / .

If it had no frequency, it would look like this: -------------------. Regular maple has a grain with no frequency. One-A has a curled grain with low frequency.

AA has a higher frequency, and so on. After AAAA, technically the grading system stops. Manufacturers look through their AAAA stock and sometimes choose a piece that is particularly striking and call it something else.

Some call it 5A, PRS calls theirs 'ten-tops,' but really the people who graded it in the first place thought otherwise. The same system can be used to grade quilted maple, which is another rare anomaly in the grain, rare among curly maple.

Can you tell me specifically ONE Obama tax cut that made it to my monthly paycheck?

As of April 1, 2009, 95% of American workers (those making less than $250,000 a year) received an Obama-generated TAX CUT that put a few extra dollars each payday into the pockets of consumers each payday, the idea being that these extra dollars would be spent, thus growing the economy (part of the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or stimulus). Small business owners received tax credits and tax cuts for various reasons (see whitehouse.gov and recovery.

gov for details). There's a benefit in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L.

111-148) and its supplemental Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (P.L.111-152), a.

k.a., "Obamacare," that might give you a return as well.

One of the insurance reform provisions requires that the for-profit insurers must spend at least 80% of every consumer dollar on actually providing health care or else they must offer a REFUND at the end of the year. Another possible area of savings is the direct low-interest college loans that can now be done through the Department of Education instead of having to go through the high-interest banksters as middlemen---this will lower college debt over time. And another Obama savings for you if you have any credit cards: the Credit CARD Act of 2009 that eliminates those predatory fees (overlimit fee; late payment fee) the greed-driven credit card companies kept tacking onto our monthly bills---they are no longer legal and the companies can no longer use shady double-dip billing practices, plus they must now post a notice of how much interest payment is saved over time by sending even $5 extra each month.

No-charge preventive health care is another plus that saves money for consumers and ultimately lowers the cost of health care. Seriously, though.go to whitehouse.

gov and recovery.gov to study up on the various tax savings and credits available since President Obama took office.

Now That The Obamites Are Convinced That Barry Will Have His Way As Long As He Exists, What Will America Do?

Emmigrate. Retirees should consider moving money to Turk and Caicos and move to Costa Rica. Viable CEO's are actively being recruited by Ireland as we speak.

They have compensation packages that equal bonus pay-outs and call it something different. It won't be long before Russia and Taiwan are on board with that. Young people should consider Australia.

It will slowly become a great place to begin a career and raise a family. They know how to deal with Muslims. It's a safer place.

There is some glimmer of hope that France is trying to turn around but, for now, you can pretty much write off the US and the rest of Europe. They are both locked up in political correctness and bad immigration policies. The socialist models have little chance for economic growth and terror attacks will be on the rise soon.

Pirates, organized crime and islamic fundamentalists all have the US as their common cause. They will join and consolidate soon. The combination of big money and theology is just too irresistible for recruits.

Don't expect every act of piracy to turn out like this one did. 0'bama doesn't have the gumption Bush did to take preemptive action. It will always be reactive and Americans WILL die.

The US will mimic Canada and be a nation of blue collars. There will eventually be a shift from China as their education system expands and graduates more engineers, doctors and professionals over all. Americans will get their dingy factories back.

Some other options are Dubai, UAE, Bahrain. BIG money changing hands there and, at least for the time being, immune from terrrorists. Needs more study.

The reverse brain-drain is underway.

I need circumsition, scared aaaa help me :(? Hello, i am 18 years old and all these years i couldnt talk to a?

Well, you should've told a doctor about the painful masturbation a LONG time ago, but since you didn't, you just dug your own grave. No, you won't be dying. Now you must get a circumcision and it will be a bit irritating afterwords, and you will have some scarring - thus leaving you unable to do any "activities" with your buddy for a bit of time so it can heal up.

Basically, it just means you have to wait before doing anything sexual. "secondly removing the foreskin i know that i will lose lots of pleasure" Guys who are anti-circumcision often say something like "your penis loses all sensitivity" and "you'll never be a man again"! Which isn't true.

If you're worried about something as stupid as 'loss of pleasure' then you're thinking about it too much. There's still the prostate, which is the male's other g-spot, so to speak. It's job is to make sure your 'manliness' is intact and it also helps with orgasms moreso than the foreskin.

So, your penis will still be sensitive and still be capable of making those boring days fun-filled and messy. Without foreskin, cleaning up is a lot easier, and it just looks better in general. And like I said, if you're still down and out about losing your foreskin, just get to know your ol' buddy "the prostate" who's just right around the corner.

At any rate, your penis will be slightly sensitive, but it will adjust. The head will become more like your regular skin, thus allowing it to stand rubbing against something without getting irritated. In order to feel anything on the glans, you'd have to rub it for a bit longer, then I'm sure you'll notice that it's just as sensitive as it was before the snip-snip, but it just takes you a minute for it to get warmed up.

So no more surprise boners due to sensitivity, good, right? You should wear boxers or boxer briefs after the circumcision so you can give time for your glans to toughen up without rubbing against material.
