CHENNAI, INDIA, July 28, 2002: Despite police action against the practice of untouchability in tea shops of rural Tamil Nadu, several shopkeepers, under pressure from caste Hindus, continue with the discriminatory "two-tumbler" system. Tea shops in several villages serve hot beverages in "two tumblers"--cheap glass ones for the Dalits and shiny stainless steel containers for the caste Hindus. And now, a "three-tumbler'' system too is adopted in some areas-plastic cups for outsiders whose caste identity is not known. Despite a law prohibiting it, the ubiquitous "Two Tumbler" system is still in operation in rural teashops around Tamil Nadu. Though the "two and three-tumbler" system is a brazen violation of the SC\ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Protection of Civil Rights Act, it is an accepted practice in southern Tamil Nadu. If tea shops do not discriminate against the Dalits, the caste Hindus will throw the shop owners out. The only positive development over the years is the withdrawal of coconut shell, referred to as "sirattai," which served as the tea cup for the Dalits. Though widespread, the practice has been escaping the attention of officials. The primary reason is that the Dalit victims are not willing to lodge a formal complaint for fear of further oppression by the caste Hindus. Another reason is that the villagers do not want to ignite caste flare-ups over a cup of tea. When officials make surprise inspections, the tumblers vanish and disposable cups take their place. Whenever there is a threat of agitation from any organization, the villagers "unite together.''

LONDON, ENGLAND, July 28, 2002: Britain's House of Commons will soon have an authentic, in-house Indian restaurant to the delight of curry fans including: Chancellor Gordon Brown, Leader of the House Robin Cook and Secretary of State for International Development Clare Short. Conservative Members of Parliament have cheekily suggested a name for the restaurant: "Hinduja's, after the controversial Indian-born industrialists who are said to have incurred favors from Tony Blair's Labor-led government," the Sunday Telegraph reported. Until now, Members of Parliament had to leave the House of Commons for Indian restaurants around Westminster, with the worry that they could miss a vital vote. David Hinchliffe, the Labor chairman of the Commons health select committee and a fan of hot Madras curries, told the Telegraph: "It's a fantastic idea provided it is authentic curry. I don't want a tame English version."
AMARNATH, INDIA, July 31, 2002: Unusually high temperatures in Kashmir have melted an ice stalagmite considered the image of Lord Siva, but this makes little difference to thousands of pilgrims who have braved potential and real rebel attacks to reach the Himalayan cave. "When a large number of people gather in the shrine, the temperature rises," said Kaniya Lal, a scientist in Kashmir's meteorological department. "Even if there is a rise of two degrees (Celsius) inside the cave, the Lingam starts melting." "Besides, there has been a gradual rise in overall temperature and drought-like conditions are prevailing in the state," he said. Most pilgrims, however, believe that even without the Lingam the site is still holy. "The absence of the Lingam does not reduce the reverence of the place," said Mohan Lal, from Haryana. The cave, is expected to draw more than 175,000 pilgrims this year.
KATHMANDU, NEPAL, July 30, 2002: A healthy prince was born Tuesday to Nepal's crown prince, making the newborn next-in-line to the throne of the Himalayan kingdom after his father. Soldiers of the Royal Nepalese Army gave a traditional 21-gun salute after the birth, the first royal celebration after a palace massacre and a year of mourning. The baby was born to Crown Prince Paras and Princess Himani. He is heir to the throne of this Hindu kingdom, a constitutional monarchy where most people regard their kings as reincarnations of the Hindu God Vishnu. The birth is potentially significant for the kingdom, and may increase the chances of Prince Paras being accepted by the people when his turn comes as king. Having an heir may make a difference for the widely disliked and misbehaving prince.
CROATIA, July 8, 2002: On Monday, July 8th, Mr. Stjepan Mesic, President of the Republic of Croatia, presented Swami Maheshwarananda the highest award for his humanitarian work. Swami Maheswarananda has been known in this part of the world for thirty years for spreading a message of peace, tolerance and mutual understanding of different religions and cultures. Sri Sarvabhaum Jagadguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, as he is now known, was born in Rajasthan, India, in 1945. In 1971 he made his first trip to Europe and established residence in Vienna, Austria. He founded yoga centers in neighboring countries: Czech and Slovak Republics, Germany, Hungary and Yugoslavia (now Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina). In the eighties he established his yoga centers, known as Yoga in Daily Life, in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada. Swami Maheshwarananda recently conducted a peace prayer in Croatia, on the Adriatic coast. Among those in attendance were political leaders, parliament members and representatives of Islam and Catholic religious communities. Swamiji has been coming to give lectures and seminars in Croatia for many years and has a large following there. There are Yoga in Daily Life centers in most major cities of Croatia. In a country of five million there are approximately ten thousand practicing his system.
NEW YORK, USA, July 27, 2002: Sadhvi Rithambara was at the Ganesha Temple in Flushing, New York, to raise funds for her new project -- homes and shelters for orphans and widows. Rithambara, a well-known voice of Hindutva in India, was confronted with her political past as angry protesters demonstrated outside the auditorium where she was scheduled to speak. The demonstrators condemned Hindu political groups for the Gujarat communal riots and distributed handouts outside the temple, emphasizing Rithambara's involvement in the December, 1992, Babri Masjid demolition in Ayodhya. Others defended her. "She is more of a religious leader than anything else," rebutted an angry N. Lalchandani. A founding director of the Nargis Dutt Memorial Trust and trustee of Satya Narayan Temple in Queens, Lalchandani insisted the demonstrators were not stating the truth. "There are two sides of the picture," he said. "Everybody can say what they want. She used to be a politician. She is no more in politics. Now she is totally religious." Uma Mysorekar, president of the Hindu Temple society said, "The temple did not know she was going to speak. They just booked the hall. If we had known she was an extreme radical at one time, we would have never allowed this event to happen." At one point, when classical singer Pandit Jasraj passed by, heading towards the auditorium, a few protestors shouted: "Pandit Jasraj, how can you listen to this woman? You are a secular man. Pandit Jasraj, please don't go inside." Jasraj returned to talk to the demonstrators, but in the midst of the confusion, no proper dialogue was possible. Later, speaking to rediff.com, Jasraj said, "I did not like the way they were shouting 'Hindu terrorist hai hai.' They should condemn all terrorists."
PURI, INDIA, July 29, 2002: Laxmi, the elephant who became seriously ill during the Puri Rath Yatra, is now responding to medicines and the prayers of hundreds of villagers. Meanwhile the wildlife division has decided to take action against the district administration for using the animal without proper medical verification and authorization. After six days of agony, laying along the road where she fell after being marched several days back toward her home, Laxmi is now showing signs of improvement.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, INDIA, July 28, 2002: The Environment Committee of the State Assembly has called for urgent steps to check the pollution hazards faced by the hill shrine of Sabarimala. Millions of Ayyappa devotees pilgrimage to this sacred place from across the country during the November-January season. In a report given to the Assembly recently, a nine-member panel said health concerns caused by pollutants and environmental stress posed a grave threat to the very sanctity of the hill shrine. "No other holy place in India is visited by such a large number of pilgrims within a short span of three months every year. Naturally, the environmental hazards faced by Sabarimala are huge,'' the report noted. The excessively high cloriform count in the Pampa River due to human waste, large amounts of plastic refuse, even though the sale of plastic articles is banned, improving available medical facilities, regular checking of the hygiene of food supplied by hotels and way-side eateries and providing stalls to supply good quality food to pilgrims are some of the concerns.
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 17, 2002: In the year 2000, world bicycle production reached 101 million, more than double the 41 million cars produced. This article, extolling the virtues of bicycles, states that sales are soaring because bikes provide affordable mobility for billions of people, increase physical fitness, alleviate traffic congestion, and do not pollute the air. The bicycle reduces the amount of land that needs to be paved, with six bicycles fitting into the road space typically used by one car. The automobile fleet expanded and people returning to cities has created worsening traffic congestion worldwide. The article states that in London today, the average speed a car can actually travel on a typical street is about the same as that of a horse-drawn carriage a century ago. Many countries in northern Europe have turned to the bicycle to ease traffic congestion and reduce air pollution. In Stockholm, for example, car use has declined in recent years. Railroads and buses are increasingly linked with pedestrian and bicycle routes. In Sweden's urban areas, roughly 10 percent of all trips are taken by bicycle. In many cities in the U.S., bikes provide mobility that cars cannot match. More than four fifths of all urban police departments now have some of their force on bicycles.
SRINAGAR, INDIA, July 30, 2002: Two people were killed and three seriously injured when a powerful blast ripped apart a car on Anantnag-Amarnath road in Anantnag in south Kashmir on Tuesday evening, official sources said. The blast took place inside a taxi, seriously injuring five persons on K. P. Road near Anantnag bus stand, 55 kms from here, around 5:20 p. m., they said. The injured were immediately rushed to a hospital where two of them were declared dead, the sources said. One of the occupants of the vehicle escaped unhurt. The vehicle was heading towards Pahalgam, the base camp for Amarnath yatra.
MUMBAI, INDIA, July 19, 2002: Uttar Pradesh has joined the list of states where pan masala (betel leaf and nut) and gutka (a tobacco product) are under an official ban following Thursday's order by the Allahabad High court directing the Uttar Pradesh government to ban the sale, production and advertisement of pan masala and gutka. The ban in UP comes just a day after the ban was announced in Maharashtra. In Mumbai, the organizers of festivals are worried that the ban will affect celebrations this year. For several years, gutka manufacturers have been sponsoring all major festivals like Janmashtami and Dandiyai in the city. Festival organizers are on the lookout for new sponsors. About three million people are addicted to gutka in Maharashtra and these festivals are used by the manufacturers as there main form of advertising to reach new consumers. Many experts would like to see the ban extend to all tobacco products.
SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK, JULY 26, 2002: Mayor Albert P. Jurczynski's (pronounced jur-ZIN-ski) involvement with the Hindu community began after he received a telephone call last year from Deryck Singh, a Guyanese immigrant who settled here 15 years earlier and was looking for a place to build a Hindu temple. There were only 200 Guyanese immigrants living here, but the mayor helped them find a vacant Catholic church to house the temple, and in the process he learned a few things about the Guyanese, he said. Mr. Jurczynski recalled Mr. Singh, who moved here from the Bronx after stumbling on Schenectady one afternoon during a drive up the New York State Thruway, saying Guyanese people "don't believe in public assistance." "When I heard that, I had a big smile on my face," the mayor said. "And I said, 'You're singing my tune.' " After that, the mayor began to meet and greet more Guyanese immigrants, including two savvy real estate brokers from Queens, one of whom hosts a radio show in New York City. Last May, the mayor called in to "Herman Singh Show Time" and told the largely Guyanese audience that they should move to Schenectady and call him directly on his cell phone. It was a bold move, but it was subtle compared to what came next. What has followed over the ensuing months has been an amazing success story for Guyanese Hindu immigrants and the city of Schenectady. The town is 150 north of New York City, and a short distance outside Albany, the state's capital.
KOLKATA, INDIA, July 29, 2002: On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima (July 24, 2002), Loknath Divine Life Mission celebrated the Mahakumbhabhishekam (dedication) of Lokenath Prem Mandir (temple) and Prana Paratisthapana of Mahayogi Baba Lokenath's (1730-1890) Divya Murthi at 99/5/15 Ballygunj Place, Kolkata. Parampujya Swami Shuddhananda Brahmachari, Founder President of the Mission, inaugurated the newly constructed temple dedicated to the Himalayan Yogi who is considered as a living Siva by millions of followers all over the world.

Jason did not see Paul again for the remainder of week. On Friday he had compiled all his research on the firms Paul has given him. Jason sent up the reports to Paul via email
I enjoyed our discussion Monday. I've attached the analysis on the firms you requested.
Jason considered writing more but thought better of it. He would let Paul come to him when he was ready. Within one minute of hitting SEND, Jason's desk phone rang. He answered seeing it was Paul extension on the caller ID..."Jason Cross".
Paul asked, "Would I have to enter into some type of agreement to ask you out for a drink or dinner?"
Jason laughed, "Why don't you just come to my house after work today? I get the sense you're going to want to continue our discussion from Monday. It will be more private, swing by at 6:00pm? I will text you my address and tell the doorman to expect you." Jason wrapped up the rest of his work and went home.
Paul rang the bell at exactly 5:59pm. Jason answered the door. He was wearing very faded blue jeans with a black t-shirt. He looked relaxed and very sensual. The jeans had holes strategically located to show off his tan legs. The black tee-shirt fit tightly and showed off a perfect upper body. Jason's feet were bare. "Please come in".
Paul walked into the apartment and was overwhelmed with the view of the city skyline. Paul walked into the living area and gazed out of the expansive floor to ceiling windows to the street far below. Paul just said simply, "Wow."
Jason noticed Paul was still wearing his work clothes. Jason asked "May I take your jacket?" Paul quickly slipped it off. Paul also loosened up his tie and stuck it into one of the coat pockets before Jason took it away.
Jason carefully placed the coat on the coat rack, and then he leaned down to the coat and inhaled the scent of Paul on the jacket. Paul watched from across the room, stunned. He wants to smell me?
Jason left the coat rack and walked into the kitchen area and asked "Would you like a drink?" I'm having a glass of Chardonnay."
Paul walked over to the counter and sat down at the bar. "That works."
Jason poured them both a glass and came around the bar to sit down beside Paul.
Paul smiled conspiratorially, "I want to see the dungeon room."
Jason replied, "I know you do. But let's talk first. Did you do any research after we spoke on Monday?"
Laughing, Paul answered "You know I did. I was online for at least 3 hours that night. I think I googled every possible variation of BDSM imaginable. "
Jason asked gently, "What are your initial thoughts?"
Paul thought for a moment, "Titillating and maybe a little confusing at the same time. When my marriage broke up, I think I slipped into a funk. I have spent so much of my life trying to be successful and running this company. It just all seems a little empty now. Maybe I'm toying with the idea of decadence and promiscuity as a way to feel something again. Maybe I should skip the kink and just see a therapist."
Jason offered a suggestion; "What if we experiment tonight with some very mild sensory play; no pressure. You can call things off if you feel uncomfortable. No real bondage play, only light restraints. There will be no serious pain involved. But it will address something you alluded to; about your need to feel."
Jason continued, "I would blindfold you and put you in a suggestive and exposed position, and touch you. I'll trust you to communicate what your boundaries are, and if I'm approaching them. Tell me. I need you to trust that I will respect those boundaries."
Paul looked a little concerned, "How exactly do you want to touch me?"
There was shift Jason's demeanor. Jason's voice became more authoritative. "I will not penetrate you in any way tonight orally or anally. But I will touch you anywhere on your body that pleases me, with my hands and with my mouth." Jason stood up and refilled Paul's glass and looked directly into Paul's eyes.
Paul felt a tremor of fear. He wondered whether or not he really wanted to try this. Trying kink was one thing. Trying kink with another dude seemed a little extreme. What the hell was Paul getting himself into?
Jason watched Paul's thought process play out on his face and offered, "why not just try it, just this once? We can stop if you start feel uncomfortable."
Paul took a deep breath and quickly made the decision, "Okay, I'll try it once. But I want a safe word."
Jason smiled at Paul's newly acquired knowledge and suggested, "Let's use "YELLOW" to indicate things are too intense or you need me to check your comfort level. RED is for stop. I will immediately stop the scene if you say RED. Do you understand, Paul?"
Paul noticed how authoritative Jason was being. It was arousing. Paul could feel his body respond to Jason's tone of voice. Paul answered quietly, "Yes, I understand."
Jason stood up and took Paul's wine glass to the sink and said "Let's go visit the play room." As they walked down the hall to toward a closed door, Paul's heart started to beat double time. What had he gotten himself into? Did he just offer to be some guys fuck toy?
Jason turned to Paul sensing his unease.
"Paul, when I open this door I'm going to explain how things in the room work and answer your questions. Don't let what you see overwhelm or scare you. Afterward, and only if you're comfortable, I'd like you to go into the bathroom and take off all of your clothes. I'd like you to shower. There will be an extra toothbrush set out for you. Please kneel down and wait for me by the platform."
"Paul asked earnestly, "so I have to kneel down like they do in the porn videos? Like a sex slave?"
"Jason answered, "Similar. I have my own variation. I will give you instructions as you need to receive them."
And with that, Jason opened the door to the playroom.
It was obviously the master bedroom in the apartment because it had a large attached bathroom. Paul looked around in awe. There were heavy bars hanging from the ceiling, cris-crossing the entire length of the room. There were several free standing devices obviously used for bondage.
There was a platform on one end of the room and a bed on the other end. The floor was tile and had a drain. Paul guessed that was for bodily fluids.
Along the wall there were rings and irons. On the far wall there was a chest with deep drawers, and a bench and rack with various tools and objects. He could see hooks, chains, handcuff's and leather collars. Paul recognized dildos, butt plugs, and vibrators of various sizes and shapes.
To put Paul at ease, Jason told him, "The only thing we are going to use in here tonight is the platform, a blindfold, and a light cloth restraint on your wrists. Are you comfortable with that?" Paul, still dazed, nodded slowly.
Jason made sure that Paul understood who was calling the shots. "I want you to go shower for me, and then wait at the base of the platform on your knees. You have exactly 10 minutes."
Jason left the playroom to get his iPod. He had a playlist already chosen for this evening. It was a collection of very sensual rhythmic new age music. He went into his bedroom and grabbed several ties. Jason did not want to use leather or metal on Paul the first time.
Jason realized how crucial tonight was in getting Paul to trust him. His goal was to assault Paul's senses, to intoxicate him with erotic sensations, and to awaken him. Once done, Jason knew he would be able to eventually push Paul's boundaries. Eventually, he wanted Paul to let go and give in completely to him. Jason was intoxicated with Paul.
Jason checked his watch and returned to the play room. He found Paul naked on his knees, trying to look at the floor, but surreptitiously peeking up at him. Paul looked uncomfortable. Jason felt an erection starting in his balls. Jason knelt down in front of Paul and grabbed Paul's chin firmly, and looked into his eyes.
"Paul, you look sexy. Don't ever be ashamed to be in front of me. Your body is perfect. You have a runner's build. I really like that."
To emphasize Jason's pleasure he reached out and touched Paul's belly lightly. Jason's hand trailed up Paul's stomach and stopped at Paul's chest. There was a faintest matte of blond hair around his Paul's nipples. Jason brushed each nipple quickly and then continued up to Paul's face. Jason grabbed Paul's chin again looked deeply into Paul's eyes.
"Paul, your eyes are everything to me. They tell me what you're thinking and feeling. I always want to see them. When you are waiting for me and when we are not engaged, I want you to look at the floor. When I engage you, I want you to look at me in the eyes, unless I tell you otherwise to punish you."
You are always to look at me. Paul, do you understand?"
Paul was mesmerized by Jason's commanding presence and softly answered "Yes." Paul felt exposed, naked in front of Jason with an erection starting.
"Paul, I want you to answer "Yes, Jason. Always say my name when I speak to you." Jason's commanding tone entranced Paul. Paul corrected his mistake and answered, "Yes, Jason."
As a reward Jason touched Paul's lips with his thumb. "Your mouth is beautiful. You have a very sexy mouth." Jason spent a few moments looking at Paul's mouth.
Jason looked at Paul's lean torso and then slowly his eyes traveled down to Paul's erect cock. Jason had never seen a more perfect cock. It was straight and strong, pointing north.
Jason murmured, "Very, very nice." Paul's breath caught in his throat.
Paul felt suddenly desperate to please Jason. Jason removed his own shirt. Paul's eyes drank in the view of Jason's chest. Jason was perfect.
Jason unbuttoned the top snap on his faded denims and started to move his zipper downward and saw Paul's eyes widen. It wasn't quite panic. But Jason sensed alarm so he stopped.
Taking charge of the situation, Jason said, "Paul, I'm going to restrain and blindfold you. I want you to just ease into the situation and try to relax. Try to focus on your senses. Feel everything, smell everything, and taste everything."
Jason walked across the room. "I'm going to start some music."
"Once you're blindfolded, I'm going to edge you a little. It will be solely sensory stimulation. No serious pain. Are you comfortable with that?"
Paul beautiful grey eyes looked at Jason submissively, and he answered quietly, "Yes, Jason."
"Look down." Jason commanded.
After Jason started the music he restrained Paul's arms in two places. First his wrists, behind his back. Then again at his elbows to create a stress position to keep Paul on edge, and a little uncomfortable.
The restraint at the elbow pulled Paul's shoulders back and pushed his chest out. Jason took one of his cloth neck ties and covered Paul's eyes.
Jason corrected Paul's kneeling position forcefully by pulling Paul's knees out so Paul was displayed more prominently.
Jason smacked the inside of Paul's knees to reinforce the desired position. The action stunned Paul because he did not anticipate it.
Jason leaned in close to Paul's ear and whispered, "Don't ever close your legs to me, do you understand, Paul?"
Paul answered softly "Yes, Jason."
Once Jason had the restraints on Paul, he reached down and smacked Paul's ass hard with his bare hand, clearly catching Paul off guard again. Paul stiffened up and righted himself quickly. Jason could almost feel Paul's heart race. Jason was becoming very aroused. Jason saw Paul's jaw tighten. Jason reached down and rubbed Paul's ass.
Jason leaned forward and whispered into Paul's ear, "You have a beautiful ass, Paul. I would love to stick my tongue in it. So perfect."
Jason could see Paul's face and chest flush from his comment. Jason rubbed himself through his jeans.
Paul's erection had waned a bit after the slap and now it surged again at Jason's voice.
Jason noted this. Jason reached down and lightly slapped Paul's erection. Paul flinched instinctively. Jason reached down again and began rubbing Paul's cock with several long hard strokes. Paul groaned and swayed at bit at Jason's aggressiveness.
Jason then smacked Paul's ass again, harder this time.
The rhythmic music played in the background, a perfect complement to Jason's ministrations.
Jason stood perfectly still beside Paul for a moment, not moving. He could tell Paul was straining to sense Jason's next move. Good. Paul was tuning into his other senses. This pleased Jason.
Jason murmured his appreciation into Paul's ear. Paul was fixated on Jason's voice. Jason reached down and sensuously rubbed Paul's ass cheeks. Jason ran his hand up and down Paul's back several times sensually.
Paul's chest flushed again with pleasure. When Jason felt Paul start to relax, he slapped his ass again, hard. Paul made a small yelp. Jason could tell the Paul was now hyper alert and tense.
Jason knew he could easily make Paul feel violated, but he did not want that. That would come later. Jason began to gently and sensually caress Paul's ass again.
"Paul you are so fucking gorgeous. Your ass is amazing and so sexy. I want your ass, Paul. I love seeing you kneel in front of me." Jason's voice was low and intense, right next to Paul's ear. Paul was fixated on Jason's voice and words, his breath becoming uneven as he listened to Jason's seductive voice.
Jason whispered to Paul, "Do you know how hard I get looking at you? I love your dick. You have a beautiful, perfect dick."
Jason looked down at Paul's hard dick, and then at Paul's chest. Jason began rubbing Paul's chest. "I love your nipples. You're going to beg me to punish them." Paul was transfixed by the sound of Jason's voice. Paul's breath became more labored.
Talking in that intense authoritative tone, Jason began to slowly stroke Paul's dick again.
"I can smell the soap you used in the shower. I can smell your sweat." Jason leaned in to kiss Paul's shoulder and inhale his scent deeply.
Jason reached around to work Paul's nipples, pinching them.
Jason slapped Paul's chest lightly, startling him again.
Jason then let his hands roam all over Paul's body. Every minute or so he reached for Paul's erection and gave it 3 or 4 strokes. After about seven minutes of this Paul was close to orgasm. Paul's body was taut with desire and yearning. Every sense that Paul had was fully engaged with Jason.
Jason could not believe how incredibly responsive Paul's body was. Jason leaned in close to Paul's ear, "You smell delicious," and sprinkled Paul's neck in small light kisses trailing down his shoulder.
Jason smacked Paul's ass again, hard. Paul almost fell over from the surprise and the force of the blow. Paul's erection flagged a bit. Jason reached down and steadied Paul. Jason re-positioned himself directly behind Paul so Paul would feel the length of his body and Jason's erection.
"Paul, do you know what I want? What I need?"
Paul answered leaning back again Jason, helplessly, "No Jason, please tell me what you want and need."
Jason reached down and massaged Paul's balls. They were amazing, and so full.
"Beautiful, Paul. Perfect. So perfect," he whispered in Paul's ear, as he massaged and handled Paul's balls in his hands. Paul whimpered, he instinctively turned into Jason's neck and tried to kiss it.
Jason put his mouth next to Paul's right ear and whispered seductively, "I want complete and total submission; can you do that for me, Babe?" Paul registered the endearment, and felt Jason's mouth on his check and neck. It made Paul's heart race.
Paul wanted to please and tantalize Jason. Paul hesitated but answered honestly, "I think so, Jason."
Still behind Paul, Jason grinded against Paul's ass through his jeans. At the same time Jason put his arms around Paul torso and stroked his cock.
Jason, whispered in Paul's ear, "Babe, I'm going to jerk you off with my hand while I play with your chest, and rub your balls. You have beautiful balls. I'm going to worship them. I can't wait to taste them."
Paul breath became ragged and Jason thought Paul was lose it. Paul was struggling to process Jason's words, and felt bombarded with sexual stimulation. Paul whispered "Yes, Jason."
Jason desperately wanted the physical release of an orgasm. But he wanted Paul emotionally and sexually engaged more than any immediate gratification for himself. Jason continued to stroke Paul with his right hand and let his free hand alternate between Paul's chest and caressing his balls.
Paul was straining back against Jason.
Paul moaned and said in low breathless tone, "Jason, I'm coming..." and just as he finished the sentence Paul shuddered and groaned shooting ringlets of semen into the air and onto the floor.
Jason rubbed Paul's dick until he squeezed out every ounce of semen. Paul's legs weakened and he fell back against Jason.
Jason whispered into Paul's ear, "Very sexy and very hot."
Paul, still surfacing from the orgasm felt pleasure in the words murmured against his ear. Jason held onto Paul and waited for him to get his strength back. When he felt Paul move to steady himself, he whispered into Paul's ear again. "Come shower with me."
Paul answered with a nod. Jason helped Paul into a standing position. Jason removed the blind fold and he removed the arm restraints. Jason rubbed Paul's arms and wrists to make sure the circulation was restored. "Come, babe," and he led Paul into the bathroom.
Jason started the shower and looked into Paul's eyes to try and gauge his emotions. The whole session had not lasted more than 30-45 minutes. Paul was so incredibly responsive, and so pent up.
Jason craved Paul's full submission. But Jason needed to stay focused on the end game. Jason gently rubbed Paul's back while he waited for the shower to warm up.
Jason stripped off his jeans. It was the first time he was fully naked with Paul. Jason was still rock hard. Paul looked down at Jason's dick and started to ask, "Do you want me to..." Jason shook his head.
Jason pulled Paul into the shower and asked huskily, "What about you, was it too much? How do you feel?"
Paul replied, "I think I'm just a bit shell shocked". Jason responded to that by pulling Paul into a close embrace. They stood in the shower, in this incredibly intimate hug.
Paul reveled in the attention Jason gave him. Paul loved the way Jason focused and complimented him on his body and the sexy way Jason spoke to him.
Paul was so intoxicated with Jason. Paul had never had a more intense sexual experience in his life. Paul was smitten and knew he would ultimately submit to Jason's need to dominate him.

Ribera Named Most Outstanding Player
Ribera Named Most Outstanding Player
April 25, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan.-- Kansas State senior Hannah Ribera added a major accolade to her trophy case, when she was named the Most Outstanding Player (MOP) in Horsemanship at the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) championships. Ribera tallied a 151.5 against Georgia in the semi-finals, which was the highest score of the entire competition. She finished 2-1 during the championships.
"I was hugely surprised but incredibly honored to receive the MOP in horsemanship," said Ribera. "The award is so prestigious and, as I am sure all athletes strive for it, I was greatly blessed to receive it. I never would have guessed that I would have been chosen but I can only thank my talented coach, teammates, and my amazing God for the award; it was all due to them. As it was my final nationals and last rides for K-State, it was an even better way of going out than I could have ever dreamed of."
A senior from Canyon, Texas, Ribera was named a 2013 NCEA All-American second team selection earlier in the season. She finished her senior campaign with a record of 13-4 with three MOP honors.
Head coach Casie Maxwell was happy that her senior rider can finish her career with a prestigious honor.
"I am so proud of Hannah for all of her accomplishments on this team," said Maxwell. "She is an amazing rider and has been a great leader. I am so glad she got to wrap up her collegiate career earning the MOP honors at the Championship."
Junior Jesse Johnson also had an impressive NCEA championship run. The Broken Bow, Neb., native wentundefeated in head-to-head matchups and finished with a 3-0 record in Reining. Johnson also scored the highest point total in the discipline with a 146 against Oklahoma State in the finals. She finished the season with a record of 8-6-3 with two MOPs.
K-State's Western team ended their season by earning its third Reserve National Championship in the past four seasons (2010, 2011). The side finished the year with a record of 11-7.

Product Description:
2 LPs on 1 CD: TODAY'S THEMES FOR YOUNG LOVERS (1967)/FOR THOSE IN LOVE (1968).
Originally released on Columbia.
Liner Note Author: Mark Marymont.
Recording information: 02/27/1967-12/22/1967.
Collectables' two-fer reissue of the Percy Faith albums Today's Themes for Young Lovers and For Those in Love is an excellent match-up. The former album was Faith's summer 1967 LP release, and it was followed by the latter in the winter of 1968. Faith took the same approach with both, recording his versions of hits with his orchestra and, on most tracks, a female chorus, so you might as well call this reissue "Percy Faith Plays the Hits of 1967." Three of the year's Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers -- "Happy Together," "Somethin' Stupid," and "Windy" -- are included, along with lots of other soft rock successes. Faith's arrangements usually contain elements from the hit recordings, and he has made good choices from what was available to him. He wisely presents "Somethin' Stupid" as an instrumental, not forcing his chirpy women to twist their tongues around the slightly sarcastic lyrics, but they sound odd trying to sing "It Must Be Him," as if it weren't the emotionally overwrought song it is. Faith is at his best with songs already written in his sort of style, such as "Release Me" and the Burt Bacharach compositions "The Look of Love" and "I Say a Little Prayer." There is some filler here (Faith usually reserved at least one songwriting credit on each LP for himself and also stuck on other ringers, perhaps as favors), but this is a good survey of 1967 popular music from an easy listening perspective, including several tunes that remained familiar into the 21st century. ~ William Ruhlmann

lots of motion no bass.
I have one of the older infinity perfect 10.1" subs. not the DVC type. right now it's sitting in a junk sealed walmart enclosure that I have braced up. for damping I had an old sound damping mat that came out of my car. Took the thick stuff out and lined the walls of the sub with that then took an old pillow gutted it and used it as fill. yes I know cheap and ghetto but so far it has made a world of difference with the sound quality. my problem though comes with the amount of bass it is giving off.
I admit I don't have an actuall sub amplifier for it yet and so just for at least testing I've been running it off a nakamichi receiver. the sub is setup on the left channel and then on the right I just left my infinity sm122. For sound I'm trying the boston accoustics bass test.
What I'm noticing is when I turn it up to about 1/4-1/3 volume it is moving the sub almost to it's peak excursion limits during the deep bass parts, but yet it doesn't seem like a whole lot of sound is comming out. when I switch it from the left to the right channel the sm122's woofer is hardly moving and yet all of a sudden I hear a loud amount of bass, my floor vibrates like crazy and yet still that woofer is just hardly moving. go back to the perfect and it gets quite but yet that thing is vibrating like crazy.
how can that speaker be vibrating like that and yet give off hardly any sound? I admit I'm an DIY audio noob but I figured with that much excursion there would be more output involved. Is there anything that can be done to get the output up or something I need to check. the other worry I have is that reciever I believe is only 25w and yet to be able to push the sub to that much excursion already makes me worry for if I get any real powre on that sub that it is going to make it bottom out. please guys any help?

How does the Infinity sound on the left channel? Are both channels fed with the same (mono) signal?

Anyone have any T/S parameters on this thing? I don't remember them having all too low of a Qts or anything, but I'm not exactly sure.
Also, keep in mind.. those boomy/harsh SM122's are efficient as hell. And vented too, if I remember correctly. If you're not willing to get rid of them for some strange reason, at least consider some modifications, altho I'm not so sure it'd even be worth it imo. I seem to remember the cabinets and construction being pretty unsatisfactory, to say the least. Good and loud tho. Probably great for rock.

dsney I wouldn't want more power untill really. Just find it odd that a sub that should be able to handle 350watts is reaching it's excursion limits on only less then 25w. if anything I would rather not have more power for those lower notes like that.
both are being fed a mono signal from the same receiver just one is on the left channel one is on the right. sound wise both are fairly clean other then the left (perfect) sounds like it has a pinhole leak where the connector box fits in.
BHTX the specs on the perfect 10.1 (lifted from winisd)
qts .420, vas 32.10, fs 28.35, xmas 14.1mm, qms 8.830, qes .441.
I haven't had too much of an unsatisfactory experience so far with the sm122's other then they make any other speaker a wisper and some weird frequency spikes on some voices, and that they are a little bright sounding with a little more bass then I prefer. hasn't been boomy or harsh sounding though. but then again I don't crank them either as I don't have that large of a room so chances are I'm not letting their flaws come to bear that much. Main reason I have them is I'm broke and couldn't find much else for 50 bucks that sounded as decent as these except for a pair of the RSa line of speakers. I do know though that the cabs on the sm122's are a lot more lively then the RSa speakers. though I'm not a full fledge audio nut with a lot of experience either so what is decent to me might be junk to others. soon enough though I am at least going to damped the cabs if not brace them as best as I can.
how is it though that my perfect is sitting there moving close to an inch total travel and yet the sm122's are moving if even 1/4" total travel and I would guess even less then that and yet can easily put out more volume.

On the other hand, the kappa perfect 10.1's are very inefficient, in a small sealed enclosure (probably too small too), and much less effective cone area for a 10" subwoofer versus a more efficient 12" woofer. Like I said, it all comes down to sensitivity, plus the fact that one is in a vented cab versus sealed, which can also be considered sensitivity in regards to system as a whole.
Welcome to the world of loudspeaker transducers and speaker systems, where anything and everything is a matter of trade-offs. For a 10" woofer to have the ability to provide deep bass in a small sealed enclosure at decent volume levels, it's going to have to have a lot of moving mass and a good amount of maximum excursion, since the cone itself will be required to move MUCH more than a larger vented system with higher efficiency. If that 10" infinity were more efficient, it wouldn't go anywhere near as low as it does in such a tiny sealed box. How many big amplified rock concerts have you been to? (tinnitus and ear damage here ) ..Those 18's they're using are hardly moving at all, yet it's so loud you can hardly stand it, while your gut and testicles vibrate from yards away. If you were able to go up to any one of these large woofers without a grille and take a close look at it while it was cranking so darn loud, you'd probably be amazed at just how little it was actually moving. However, as a result, these massive sound systems used in concerts (pro sound) don't go as low as one might think. Most of them begin rolling off around 50-60 Hz, and are almost always rolling off very steeply much below 40 Hz.
Like I've seen someone else say in their posts several times around here (can't remember who it was tho)... I can't remember their exact words either, but when you think about it, it's pretty much correct 100% of the time under normal conditions..
Choose any two of the following, but you can't have all three:
1. small size
2. high efficiency
3. very low frequency response

Two questions:
1. Is it a single driver in a single box?
2. Is it a closed box or a bass-reflex?
If there are two drivers, there is a chance that they are wired in opposite phase. That will make the sounds from the two cancel.
If it is a bass-reflex, there is a chance that the box is poorly tuned. If so, what are dimensions of the box and the vent?
|24th November 2007, 05:56 AM
diyAudio Member
it's a sealed box with a single driver. I'll be honest in saying I'm not sure on the dimensions of the box, but I can get them later if I can get a tape measure. I do at least have pictures though if nothing else.
BHTX I'm not too worried about the size of the box with this sub. If a larger box would help this sub out with this situation I would be game for it but my worry with that is it is already reaching the point where it will be causing a problem with this small receiver already. is there something I can do to keep the low end yet get the excusion under controll while trying to get it to play a little louder? from the sounds of it I guessing this is leading to a port reflex design which I know even less about then sealed boxes other then I haven't cared much for the sound of most of the ported subs I have heard and that they are a little louder
a little off topic though but in a nutshell how is a transmission line different then a ported unit?

On top of all the above previously mentioned in regards to sensitivity, there's probably another primary cause for what you're experiencing here. However, it's really dependent on your lowpass crossover point, etc. Regardless, bottom line is.. this woofer needs a vented enclosure. With the Thiele/Small parameters you provided, EBP (efficiency bandwidth product, or FS/Qes) is about 64.3. The main problem you'll have with using a vented alignment with this driver is trying to fit a port of suitable size in the smallish enclosure that'll be required, so that air velocity within the port won't be sky high at moderately high volume levels. Anyway, after several minutes of briefly playing around in WinISD Pro, here's my suggestion: Find a way to get it in a nicely built 2.1 - 2.2 cubic foot enclosure (add port and driver volume to that though!) tuned to 20 Hz, and you'll be happy with it. Either build it yourself, or have someone build it for you. However, I'm currently trying to figure out a good size for a port or vent, as this thing really 'wants' a passive radiator. Even with the suggested C4 alignment, the port lengths required to obtain acceptable air velocity are still too long for the box it'd be in.
As it sits now, you're probably getting -3 dB at about 50 Hz. Sd wasn't provided, so I just entered 350 cm^2 as an estimate. Strangely though, with 25 watts, excursion is only around 3.5mm at 20 Hz. You'd need over 400 watts at 20Hz to reach the specified xmax of 14.1mm, and approaching 600 watts to reach xmax at 40Hz.. just to give you an idea. The voice coil probably wouldn't take much of that last example though, so it's only that.. an example. So, I'm not so sure what's going on there, as far as so much excursion with so little power.
By the way.. if there was a feasible way to use a suitable port in the recommendation above (which is essentially a -3 dB EBS alignment.. 2.2 cubic feet + woofer and port tuned to 20 Hz), an amplifier rated at around 300 watts would be about perfect. For higher tuning, etc..400+ watts should be sufficient.

Oh, and I also meant to add...
Just glancing at a couple of the T/S parameters you gave, I would think this woofer COULD do pretty well in a properly designed TL. However, I can't really say much more than that in regards to transmission lines, since I haven't messed with them much myself. On the other hand, I do have a 10" Adire Brahma MKII in some kind of big crazy TL-like thingy that I purchased a few years ago from a gentleman by the name of John Nolte (www.nolteaudio.com). Yeah...it was supposed to go in my '90 300ZX TT, but that car ended up being a disaster in which I got screwed over badly and lost over $30,000 and ended up with nothing. Add to that around $5,000 in car stereo equipment that never got installed too. I sold all the rest of that equipment, but still have the 'Snailshell' enclosure with the Brahma in it sitting around here going to waste (dustcap needs to be reglued AGAIN tho...rattles a bit sometimes). Anyway, this thing produces by far some of THE loudest bass that I've ever heard from a 10" woofer. And it has a very unique quality to it too...very difficult to explain. Doesn't sound anything like a sealed enclosure, but not really sloppy either. And it goes surprizingly LOW!!! And LOUD!!! You can crank it up to a fairly high volume level, then walk over to that little 10" woofer rated at 27mm xmax, and it's usually hardly even moving. Anyway, I'd expect very similar qualities from most TL's. However, this is really the closest thing I've had good experience messiing around with...and I don't even really know exactly what it is..lol. Pretty amazing though.

An ageing comedienne (Blethyn) goes off the rails when the son she depends on finds a new girlfriend.
Another month, another quirky Aussie indie; this time with British import Brenda Blethyn playing Jean, an ageing comedienne on the Sydney circuit. Unable to support herself and her two sons in showbiz - shy Tim (Khan Chittenden) and the brain-damaged Mark (Richard Wilson) - she also works as a dinner lady and singing teacher.
When Tim gets a girlfriend, all her professional insecurity turns Jean into a monster. While the cast give it their all, the script is uneven, failing to create much sympathy for Jean or Tim, and much of the action makes it feel like a mid-level Sunday night TV drama - except with sex scenes thrown in for good measure. Relative newcomer Wilson (The Proposition), at least, deserves better.
It feels like a Sunday night TV drama - and not a very good one at that.

Haha nah. Maybe to the end of the 1st.
Hello Fellas,
The Rams 2nd over all pick (1st Rd) in the 2014 MKI Draft is up for trade. The Rams 13th overall pick (1st Rd) in this same draft, is also available for trade considerations. Anybody who is interested, please either post in this thread or send a PM to both myself (ABQ) and ABQJr. All offers will be considered.
Thank you,
GMs, all discussion, prior to the actual draft ( trade or otherwise) specific to the 2014 Mel Kiper Jr. Invitational should be conducted in this thread.
Please use this thread rather then opening multiple new ones.
Thank you,
Good luck actually getting someone to trade up. Pretty sure everyone has the exact same idea of trading back and getting as many picks as possible.
If we have to stay where we are, it will be fine. We will take the best Defensive Player available. Rams have plenty of needs so it's fine either way.
I may be interested.
good to know there may be trade partners out there.
But I would never make a trade (unless for #1 overall) before draft day.
You can always work out the particulars of a trade and then decide if you want to do it when either of you is on the clock.
That's the way I've always done it. Just so I don't hold people up scrambling to get a trade done.
Dolphins #19 is available if anyone wants to move up a few spots.
I've got the 27th pick (Saints ) and am looking to move down into the 33-40 range. Anyone with a high 2nd rounder who wants to jump up for a QB for instance, please let me know.
This allows you to go BPA with your high 1st rounder and still nab a great developmental QB prospect. Also, taking a QB in the 1st round is preferable over the 2nd. Why? The $ is extremely similar now and you get them under contract for one extra year (5 year deal instead of 4). E.g., had SF taken Kaepernick in the 1st instead of 2nd he'd have 2 years left on his deal and they wouldn't have to give him the HUGE contract they're about to this offseason... preserving their competitive salary cap advantage for an extra season.
So everybody wants to move down........... should make the price to move up nice and cheap.
If you find a motivated enough trade partner... yup.
It looks like i was assigned the Titans.
So, consider the Titans and potential trade partner in any of the rounds.
Little early right now so won't fully agree to anything at the moment but I might give you #37 and swap 3rd round picks with you (68 for 91). I'll throw in a 6th that you can't use too if it makes you feel better lol
You looking for a move up?
I had to get the field set so trading could open. There are still other teams available if you want to switch.
Titans are fine and I appreciate it.

The saga of wealth, multiple nuptials, betrayal, backstabbing, global ambition and strident ideology that is the Murdoch succession drama looks no closer to being resolved, a week after deep rifts were exposed by Lachlan Murdoch's abrupt departure from News Corp.
As further details of the father-son breakdown leaked out last week, there were new moves to resolve one of the thorniest issues in the family dispute: how control of the empire and its vast wealth will be shared between Rupert Murdoch's young wife, Wendi Deng, and his six children.
According to reports, Murdoch's four adult children - Prudence, Elisabeth, James and Lachlan - are set to offer Deng's two younger children, Grace and Chloe, an equal share of the family's $3.4 billion stake in the company while at the same time resisting changes to the structure of the trust that would give the two youngest children an equal share in control of the firm.
Rupert has repeatedly said he wishes all his children to be treated equally. Sources close to the family say it is unlikely, given the stakes, that Deng will accept an offer that ultimately cuts her offspring out of a future say in the running of the company.
As succession issues are teased out, James, the 32-year-old head of BSkyB and the only child now with an executive role in News Corp, says he does not intend to follow his older brother out of the door. 'My hope and intention is to be here for the long term,' the most unconventional of the Murdoch children says. 'You're stuck with me.'
As new layers of intrigue are added to the story, Rupert has moved to re-install himself as publisher of his prized money-losing tabloid, the New York Post, in his son's absence. Control of other areas of the empire over which Lachlan had notional power has yet to be reassigned, but there is already speculation about who will get responsibility for the 35 TV stations that previously reported to him, and there are expectations of a power struggle between News Corp's chief operating officer, Peter Chernin, and Fox News chief Roger Ailes.
Lachlan's departure has been hard for News Corp employees to digest. It came with no warning - 'a total shocker,' according to one Post staffer. 'I'm sure you guys have questions,' Col Allen, the Post's editor, told staff. 'But I don't have answers.'
The surprise was amplified by what had appeared to be Lachlan's strengthening position both in News Corp and within the fabric of New York society. Last December, before an audience of the political and financial elite including Mayor Michael Bloomberg at the Waldorf-Astoria, Lachlan was given the annual Gold Medal for 'outstanding contributions to the City of New York'. Last April he was named 'Media Person of the Year' by the Cannes Film Festival for his role in developing News Corp.
Like his father, who last year bought the best uptown apartment in the city for $44 million, Lachlan had bought one of the best in the downtown area and was set to move in with his wife, the Australian model Sarah O'Hare, and their nine-month-old son Kalan.
Indeed, the question of succession had appeared to be resolved in the elder son's favour, and the empire was seemingly being shaped to his requirements. News Corp's headquarters was moved to New York, and the company's stock listing transferred from the Australian Stock Exchange to the NYSE. In fact, it now seems the changes were as much to suit the father as the favoured son.
Beneath the veneer of family cohesion, rifts between father and son were deep. Lachlan is said to have resented reporting to Chernin, his father's second in command, and his primary responsibility, publishing the New York Post, could at any time be usurped by his father, who still loves nothing more than to drop by the newsroom before deadline and tweak the paper. Also, for all the improvements in circulation achieved by price-cutting and colour printing, the paper continues to lose tens of millions of dollars a year.
On the day Lachlan resigned from News Corp, he took a party to lunch at Da Silvano, the well-known restaurant popular with media power players. He stayed for five and a half hours and, according to the New York Observer, ordered a feast: Lupicaia wine, cold cuts, truffled burrata cheese, stuffed zucchini blossoms, branzino, homemade pasta with more truffles. His wife and son stopped by. But by the end, he was in tears. 'He was crying on an elder gentleman at the table,' the eyewitness said. 'It seemed a very tender moment.'
With Lachlan written out of the script, James is now the focus of attention. Said to be the brightest of the four adult children, he joined News Corp in 1996 after dropping out of Harvard - although he still contributes to comic publication National Lampoon - and starting what turned out to be a successful rap music label.
He went to work in Asia for News Corp's Star TV and translated success there into his current job at BSkyB two years ago.
These are auspicious times for James, and the timing of Lachlan's departure could hardly be improved on for him: last week, BSkyB announced it had added 83,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter to help profits after tax in the year to 30 June rise 32 per cent to £425m, with revenue up 11 per cent at £4.05bn.
James may now be in a good position, but that still does not mean he will be Rupert's ultimate successor, according to Gary Ginsberg, a spokesman for News Corp. Lachlan's resignation, he says, 'does not change the succession plan at all. Rupert has said he plans on staying as chairman as long as he is mentally and physically fit to do so.'
And despite the ambiguity over who will eventually follow him, Murdoch himself has always been clear on the subject: Chernin is likely to be his immediate successor, but his ambition is for a member of his family to one day take charge.
But which one? The unknown factor in the drama remains the ambition of Deng, once a junior executive at the Star TV unit in Hong Kong, who maintains a discreet but important role in the company. 'She is an extremely sharp operator,' says one News Corp veteran. 'It would not be beyond the bounds of possibility for her to take some responsibility were there to be a power vacuum later.'
Last week, it was hard to doubt James's sincerity over wanting to remain at BSkyB, given his elder brother's experience of living and working in the same town as their father while negotiating the minefield of senior News Corp managers.
But one threat appears to be diminishing: John Malone, the cable TV pioneer and media financier who has built up an 19 per cent voting stake in News Corp, no long seems to be hovering over the company so intently. Rather than looking to seize control, it is now understood Malone has simply been trying to protect his investment by gaining more influence on who takes over, and to put pressure on Murdoch to trade some News Corp assets for the stock.
In recent weeks, the two camps have been exploring a deal that would give Murdoch a proxy to vote Malone's shares or win an undertaking from Malone that he will not seek to buy more stock. That would give Murdoch more time to arrange an orderly future for a firm that will, unless broken up, always be the product of his own imagination and ambition, whoever ends up running it.
At the same time, the spectre of Malone cannot be discounted. 'The view in News Corp is that Malone is probably going to find a way of strengthening his hand,' says one insider. 'He has long-term ambitions.'
Last week, Rupert issued a statement saying he looked forward to the day when Lachlan wants to return. Was that just a formality - or a sign that he needs his eldest son to keep his dream alive?
10 things you ought to know about Rupert Murdoch
His first name is Keith, after his father, who owned newspapers in Australia and whose death in 1952 left 22-year-old Rupert in charge of a daily paper in Adelaide.
He reportedly clicks his tongue mid-sentence for emphasis and dislikes adjectives.
He is a Pisces. For Pisceans this weekend, 'you have maximum willpower and an inspiring new moon in your health chart. Single? Love smiles at a local takeaway'(© Mystic Meg, the Sun).
Murdoch divorced first wife Anna in 1998 and married Wendi Deng in 1999
He spent a term at Holland Park School, London, before the Second World War and returned after the war for a spell at Oxford University
He shares a PR - Lord (Tim) Bell of Belgravia - with Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky, Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko and Baroness Thatcher. Lord Bell also advised the Coalition Provisional Authority of Iraq.
He launched Australia's first national newspaper, The Australian, in 1964. He bought the News of the World and the Sun in 1969.
He paid $44m for a three-storey apartment overlooking Central Park last year after its previous owner, Laurance Rockefeller (son of John D), died.
He has a home in Palm Beach, Florida, that tour guides claim has high hedges on electronic tracks to allow uninterrupted views of the sunset.
Columnist Julie Burchill finds him 'cute'.

THE STEVE LEVY SERIES: Recruiting and Finance – A Happy Marriage
Posted on October 20, 2006
Filed Under Sourcing Techniques | 9 Comments
By Steve Levy, Principal
outsideâ– theâ– box Consulting
Talent Acquisition and Organizational Effectiveness Consulting
First In A Series
It may be because I'm a bit more weathered than the average recruiter – looking that is (it might have something to do with being a lifeguard at Jones Beach for 30 years) – but I still take great joy in riding the brick-and-mortar route of recruiting. I do not eschew the Internet as a means of building talent pools (those who know me know that!) but the weathered part of me recognizes from experience how pressing the flesh is so critical in our profession. But flesh pressing needs to be as focused as its electronic brethren – that would mean a plan.
Don't know why but planning seems to be a dirty word in recruiting. It means thinking and I suspect some believe that thinking causes mind pollution – essentially brain smog that may cloud one's view. So most recruiters dive right in…
a) Believing that the job description is 100% accurate
b) Posting on job boards
c) Typing few words in Google and wondering why resumes aren't jumping out
d) Asking questions of others on some of the recruiting Forums (e.g., ERE Groups), typically, "I've posted on job boards – now what else can I do?â€
Sorry but this isn't recruiting – it's order taking. "Would you like some fries with that burger?†Yummy. The recruiter makes the hiring manager feel satiated until the next meal – or complaint.
Actually, it's because new recruiters haven't been taught to think. It's (on the TPR side) "Here's a phone, here's a list – start calling†or "(on the Corporate side) "Here's a list of 56 openings, some have been open 125 days – see what you can do with them.â€
In both cases, it's an "Oh Joy!†response.
There is a plan, there is a solution and it involves three things (there are more but I believe these three constitute the three biggest areas of improvement in recruiting):
a) Recruiting planning by focusing on the business side (who your targets are)
b) Reengineering the job description (which is obsolete the minute it's published)
c) Brick-and-mortar sourcing (or physically going to association meetings, eavesdropping on conversations in airports, etc.)
In this, the first of three posts, I take great joy (yes, the joy of recruiting is both an obsession and a disease) when starting a search by taking visiting market tools that provide detailed performance data of specific industry verticals. Consider what most recruiters do, they'll ask about other recruiters which companies are having layoffs and then begin to recruit people from the effected companies- typically focusing on those in outplacement. Wouldn't it have been better to have been tracking the performance of these companies ahead of time to be both ahead of the downsizing vultures and stand a better chance of landing the A-players?
Having the financial performance measures of focal competitors is key to making this a reality. For instance, one great tool I use is The New York Times' Interactive Sector Snapshot. When you go here, in honor of El Dave, change the Category to Information Technology then select semiconductors. What you'll see is something rather amazing – semiconductor companies who are either Leading (upper right) versus the S&P 500, Improving versus the S&P 500 (lower right), Slipping (upper left) versus the S&P 500, or Lagging (lower left) against the S&P 500.
Now click on any bubble in all of the quadrants – you'll see the weekly performance against the S&P as well as the YTD performance. See the Time Period slider? Play with it to see other Time Periods and the performances of the companies.
The take-home lesson here is that if you're recruiting in the Semiconductor industry, knowing where companies stand financially is a critical factor in knowing which ones may be good sourcers for talent. Why do I say this? Well, have you ever heard of the saying "like rats abandoning a sinking ship�
Another thing I do is go to Yahoo Finance and create portfolios for each sector in which I have business. This snapshot can quickly give me targets for any search. For anyone, a page highlighting the financial performance of competitors is great resource. Not to mention several Forbes e-newsletters, MarketWatch bulletins, and a slew of industry email blasts.
Which brings me to a final point – understanding your company's or client's financial performance. Obviously when your performance is lagging, people may become dissatisfied and may be "takeover targets.†It's retention time! When your performance is flying high, this is something you want people outside (the talent pool) to know. It's recruiting time!
Either way, financial performance should be part of your employment brand and talent acquisition strategy. Otherwise you're just recruiting blind.
Next post will talk about reengineering job descriptions while working with your hiring managers to develop a more targeted search strategy.

Great post! Maybe because it's Friday afternoon, but my mind is picturing this:
A bunch of mangy rats peering over the edge of an old run down sailing ship (read: Pirates of the Caribbean) … and all of a sudden a shiny new Formula racing boat painted in our companies colors & adorned with our logo pulls up along side. Of course this gets the attention of the rats which then start pushing & shoving their way towards us. Since we planned ahead, we made sure our vessel had room for the top 10% of those rats & we hailed them via our megaphone: "Hey rats! We got room for you over here … the swimmers who reach us first and convince us why they should come aboard, WIN!†Of course we speed away (on route to the next sinking ship) with the strongest swimmers, best communicators, & those that were willing to take the plunge. Now that's ROI on planning & branding … Ahoy!

I'm not sure that PETA would appreciate the 90% "not strong enough swimmers" rate but in certain respects, you're getting closer to a target. If I'm not mistaken, Jack Welch spoke of the top 20% – a number I'm more comfortable with.
All this requires a recruiting strategy that follows a multitude of variables – and it isn't easy. We speak so much in our profession of compensation plans, of paying corp recruiters like TPRs without focusing first on the foundation skills that enable recruiting functions to balance the short term objectives with the longer term ones.
What enables this is business knowledge, plain and simple. So what's in your wallet?

Solid content as usual, Monsieur Levy! Complete process thinking; specific, tangible resources; and put in a relevant context. It's always nice to find posts that aren't regurgitations of other posts. Glad to read on your blog that you've landed 3 new gigs. Sorry that my intervention on behalf of one of your attempts didn't yield anything this time… and to all readers, hope to see many of you at the Kennedy Recruiting Conference in NYC next month!

Perfect home for a family vacation. We have rented a few times in Montauk and this was by far the best! House & property was well kept! We enjoyed the pool, beach, biking, and Montauk restaurants! Definitely recommend for an extended family. We had 3 generations and everyone enjoyed themselves!
We just spent a week at this perfectly tucked away house for a family vacation with 3 kids under the age of 12 and 6 adults. The house is close enough to town but yet far enough away where its so quiet and peaceful. The backyard is set up perfectly with the pool and fire pit area a few steps away off to the side. We had nite swims along with Smores almost every night. Inside the house had plenty of bedrooms and baths for everyone and we never felt cramped. The house conveniently has 2 great tv areas so the kids have their own area as well as the adults. This was our first year at this house and we all agreed we would like to stay here again in the summer of 2016 - something to look forward to!
What a perfect house for our large group of family/ friends vacation. We enjoyed the spacious cooking area the fully equipped kitchen all the amenities were just spot on!! The caretaker of the property Chris always extremely responsive and so very helpful with a truly caring disposition. The owner retuned our security promptly. Very well run rental property! Loved the neighborhood and overall location. Would return gladly!
Great house for a large family. Would recommend and return.
We were 3 generations, 70-year-olds down to a 1-year-old, gathering for a getaway that could not have been any better.
The secluded, quiet location was nice for our privacy and yet we felt we were so close to anything we wanted to do. The lighthouse, lobster rolls at a downtown shack, the Brewery or shopping in Montauk (loved their Thursday Farmers Market), the beach with surfing or playing in the sand, golf, biking -- something for everybody!
But we mostly enjoyed the comfort of the home. The beds and furniture, the house in general, were all very clean and comfortable; the pool was delightful for the grandchildren; and the fire pit was an evening treat after the grandchildren were in bed.
I must say that I was also very impressed and happy that the owner checked in with me before we arrived as well as during our stay and after we left.
Couldn't have been any happier with our stay.
This was our second year staying at the house. It truly is a special place to enjoy vacation with family. We've booked next year already!
