text: Culture 3 September 2001 Goerne's turn Music - Patrick O'Connor on the singer who can make Schoenberg pleasurable Sign up for our weekly email * The autumn season at the Wigmore Hall begins on 6 September with an all-Schoenberg recital by the German baritone Matthias Goerne. Not many other singers would dare to offer this as a commercial prospect, and not many concert halls would allow for it. Goerne, a favourite with London audiences for over seven years now, is adamant that people should try to expand their knowledge of music that, after all, isn't new or avant-garde any more. "Some of these songs are over a hundred years old. Yet people persist in thinking of Schoenberg only as that bogeyman with the 12 tones. There is so much more to him." When William Lyne, the manager of the Wigmore, first heard Goerne in the early 1990s, he was singing an all-Hanns Eisler concert. He wanted to make his London debut with that, but it was actually as one of our time's leading Schubert singers that he became famous. (His recording of Eisler's Hollywood Liederbuch eventually led to a concert at the Wigmore.) Goerne is not a conventional singer or person. He makes few concessions to popular repertory, there are no crossover albums, no chat-show appearances, no fashion shoots. He grew up in the former East Germany and, although he now lives in Hamburg, he has retained a questioning, probing attitude to his work and to life which many put down to his experiences of growing up in Weimar and Leipzig in the 1970s and 1980s. "The audience is inclined to be so sceptical, maybe more so in Germany. They feel they've heard it all before. But I don't want to retread the ground that every singer of the past 50 years has been over. I love the Jedermann monologue of Frank Martin. I can programme that with Beethoven or Brahms. Obviously, I like to give audiences what they want to hear but, if not exactly a crusade, I want to expand the notion of what the Lieder recital should be." For his Schoenberg concert, Goerne is accompanied by Pierre-Laurent Aimard. For his first appearance at Glyndebourne (on 7 October), in Schubert's Winterreise, Goerne will be with Eric Schneider, who has accompanied him regularly for several years. "It's very important to work with different people, not to become too relaxed. Every concert is different anyway, but I need the stimulus of different personalities." For the past three years, Goerne has been giving concerts with Alfred Brendel. A few weeks ago, at the Edinburgh Festival, they paired Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte with Schubert's Schwanengesang. Brendel has seldom shown such enthusiasm for accompanying a singer - he did so memorably in the 1980s with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, but hardly ever since. The contrast between Goerne and Fischer-Dieskau - who was one of his teachers - could hardly be greater. Whereas Fischer-Dieskau often seemed aloof, very much the elder statesman, Goerne's almost manic appearance, huge staring eyes, cropped hair, seems to dare the spectators to look away. "I can't rehearse things like the expression on my face. It's all in the moment of singing. The poem and the music must be one. You cannot separate them and say which is more important. In opera, it can be different. Don Giovanni, for instance, that's one role I'd like to sing. But singing isn't enough. Yes, there are nice things in it. But it is, above all, an acting role. Just a voice isn't going to get you through the evening." Voices, like faces, are a matter of opinion. One person falls in love with a face that the next man or woman may find distinctly plain or ugly. It's even more extreme with voices - just read a cross-section of reviewers in any musical journal. Matthias Goerne has one of the most beautiful voices of our time. There is tenderness and strength, dark and light, but, above all, there is a powerful musical intellect. "My greatest joy is to persuade the public. It doesn't matter if they don't know the songs or the language already. The performer's task is to grasp their attention and hold it." At the end of their performance of Winterreise, there is a striking moment between Goerne and Brendel. In the final song, the poet sees an old musician, the Leiermann (organ-grinder). "Wunderlicher Alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n?" he asks ("Wonderful old fellow, shall I go with you?"). As Goerne turns to sing this line, one sees that Brendel is the Leiermann and, although the song suggests a tragic end to the winter journey, they somehow also give it a feeling of hope and renewal. Matthias Goerne sings Schoenberg at the Wigmore Hall (020 7935 2141) in London on 6 September. Goerne and Eric Schneider are at Glyndebourne on 7 October (01273 813813) Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

Delhi New York Golf Courses
|Delhi College Golf Course
Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Osiris Country Club -- SHORT BUT FUN; AN OVERALL GOOD TIME.
|Review by: John
|The aforementioned signature hole (#5) slopes back to front, not front to back as stated. It is one of the smaller greens and one of the courses three newer (< 10 years old) "sand greens". I'm not sure why it was chosen "signature" as there are much better holes there in dessert of the accolades: #'s 10, 15, and 16 to name a few. The course is generally well maintained (despite the nominal budget) when compared to other local private courses. The back nine is younger, longer, and for some reason always seems in better shape. It provides for some pristine long-range views of the Shawangunk Mountains on a clear day. The back nine can be most appreciated during twilight hours. I'm not sure why it's called a 'country club', as there is no swimming pool or tennis available; just the golf course. The clubhouse/restaurant/bar is neat and clean with a nice selection of food and drink. The meals on occasion are nothing short of gourmet. The wait staff is generally polite though ordinary. Thumbs up for the regular bartender! The pro shop offers a small but excellent array of equipment. The staff there is extremely polite and helpful. The pro (Ben McCoy) comes across as pressured and somewhat uptight at times. He does however have a reputation unsurpassed in the area for his golf instruction techniques. His lessons are said to be worth every cent. Once you get to know him you should find him to be a man of character who is honest with a good sense of humor. The grounds crew does an outstanding job in keeping the place in good playing condition. This seems a surprise in light of the limited number of staff and restrained budget. The crew had been managed by a (mid fifties) third generation Scottish greens keeper by the name of Jim Smart for the past 29 years. He was released from the course over the off-season for reasons rumored to be politically motivated and undeserving. The previous assistant who is well educated and most dedicated will now manage the crew. I feel he will do well. It is rumored that Mr. Smart is still a "free agent". Any course would be fortunate to have an individual with his experience and knowledge base join their staff. In short it can be concluded that the membership definately get their monies worth from this course.

I'm in! I'll post something up about this tomorrow - I promise. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I'm a huge fan of Gary Sinise because of his staunch support for our military. He's a great guy.

Hi BoBo,
Thanks so much for taking the time. I knew I could depend on you.
I agree, Gary Sinise is a great guy--A True Patriot.
Thanks again,
- March 19, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Thank you for leaving a comment at The Bobo Files guiding me here. I would also like to thank you very much for your highlighting this film. I had not heard of it until I saw your post.
I retired from the US Air Force after 20 years. I served with the Bobo (yes, I actually know him). I cannot tell you what it means to have people like you and Gary Sinise support the men and women in the military. I really means a lot when you are far from home and loved ones in a dangerous situation. So THANK YOU!!
Now, I would like to ask a personal question; where do you originally come from? My old eyes couldn't read it on your blog.
I am currently living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Would love to hear from you.

Hello Raider Steve,
Thank you for visiting and commenting. Thank you also for complimenting me for my support to the military.
Hubby is a retired Air Force man, and I was in for almost five years also. We also have a nephew in the Army who had served 2 tours in Iraq. This is why my feelings for our men and women in the service run very deep.
They're the reason that we, at home, are enjoying our freedoms to do anything we want. Many people don't believe that, but I truly do. Those soldiers are risking their lives all the time, that the least I could do is to write this humble post to let people know that there's a movie out there about them, without actors playing the parts. This is the more that I want this movie seen by more people.
I'd like to take this opportunity to commend and thank you for your military service.
To answer your personal question, I'm originally from the Philippines and have been living in the U.S. for almost 32 years.
So, are you in Saudi Arabia for work, or are you there as a permanent resident? I'm also curious, you see?
Thank you and hope to see you here again.

Hello Shari,
Thanks so much for your support. I shall come visit your blog soon.
Have a great day,

Hi Jena,
Like I said in the post, the movie will be shown, depending on the interest of people. So, do you think you could do a good write up in your blog? Your support is much appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Great catch on this movie; I'll post a link on my blog today. Finally a positive movie on our soldiers.
- March 23, 2009 at 4:10 PM

Hi VH,
Thanks so much for supporting this movie. I think it's the least we could do for our men and women in uniform.

- redchair said...
Hi Tasha,
Amazing and wonderful cause. I'll check out the movie.
There's another wonderful movie that HBO just released called 'Taking Chance', with Kevin Bacon that also defines a soldiers journey. It's heart warming to see these endearing stories start to come out now.
- March 27, 2009 at 3:28 PM
- tashabud said...
Hi Vikki,
Thanks for visiting. We don't have HBO, but I shall keep an eye in case it gets shown at another channel later on.
- March 28, 2009 at 6:27 AM
- Lilly said...
Thanks Tasha I had not heard of this. I will check it out. People may not agree with war but everyone must support our soldiers. how truly brave all of them are and the families they leave behind as well.
- March 30, 2009 at 5:38 PM
- tashabud said...
Hi Lily,
Thank you for your thoughts. People's support is indeed very helpful to the soldiers. Like Gary Sinise said,"Can you imagine getting spit on like what had happened with our Vietnam Veterans." To me, it's so cruel to treat our soldiers that way.
Thanks again,
- March 31, 2009 at 2:00 AM

A new survey shows that, of the companies and organizations that started up in the last two years, 61% have begun their operations in the cloud. Another 59% of IT professionals say the cloud has changed the structure and responsibilities of their team in the past year.
In its 2016 State of Cloud IT report, cloud app services vendor BetterCloud surveyed 1,500 IT professionals and culled through a number of industry reports from Gartner, PwC, Google, and Microsoft.
The report also shows some interesting facts concerning the path companies have taken in moving to the cloud. Forty-nine percent of Google Apps customers came from Exchange, while 35% had no previous platform.
But of Office 365 users, 70% came from Exchange while just 13% came from Google Apps, which shows some pretty strong hooks and/or brand loyalty to Microsoft products. Microsoft customers have been in business for a median length of 30 years (compared to 20 years for Google customers), had an employee median count of 600 vs. 120 for the Google customers, and 15 IT people vs. 3 for Google customers.
So what the report shows is newer, younger companies are increasingly starting up with little to no on-premises infrastructure, while existing firms are also making the move but sticking with the vendor they know. That's good news for Microsoft. Oftentimes, when there is a major paradigm shift, the old vendor is left behind because it failed to adapt. It's how Microsoft ate IBM's lunch in the 1980s.
But Microsoft didn't just stick to what it knew. Steve Ballmer started the process of embracing the cloud, and Satya Nadella is accelerating it, keeping Microsoft from becoming another relic that failed to adapt.
The survey found partners are increasingly affecting and impacting the shift to the cloud, with 92% of SMBs expressing satisfaction working with a cloud partner vs. 89% saying they were satisfied working without a partner. With enterprises, there is a much wider gulf, with 82% saying they were satisfied working with a cloud partner while only 60% were satisfied working without one.
It also asked when enterprises would expect to run 100% of their IT services in the cloud with the aid of a partner. At present, the percentage is zero, but that will grow to 16% by 2020 and 48% by 2025. SMBs are moving faster, with 49% stating that they expect to have all of their systems in the cloud by 2020 and 69% expecting to be cloud-only by 2025.
For now, though, the hybrid approach is dominant, with 62% of Office 365 customers taking the hybrid approach vs 38% going pure cloud play. The report did not give similar stats for Google customers; rather, it said 67% deployed Google for Work all at once while 33% did it in phases. It did not offer similar deployment stats for Office 365 users.

Mean Girls dissects high school society with a lot of observant detail, which seems surprisingly well-informed. The screenplay by "Saturday Night Live's" Tina Fey is both a comic and a sociological achievement.Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
Though not a perfect comedy, it manages to be quite often laugh-out-loud funny. The film's strong cast, including scene-stealing "SNL"er Tim Meadows as the school principal, also helps smooth out most of the rough edges.Chicago Tribune Full Review
The screenplay by Tina Fey -- head writer for "Saturday Night Live" -- is marvelously smart, though, and the ensemble cast is uncannily in sync with it.Christian Science Monitor Full Review
Likable Lohan doesn't exude the vulnerability that would give the movie true heart, and Fey, head writer for "Saturday Night Live," crafts better punch lines than plots.New York Daily News Full Review

I am completely in love with this and use it every time I apply a nail paint. I apply it over my favorite nail paint to protect it from peeling and chipping. With matte or dull color nail polishes, the glossy finish it provides is simply amazing. The coat dries up quickly, say in 10- 15 seconds. Two strokes of Sally Hansen Super Shine Top Coat covers the whole nail.

Klinki in Bulolo Valley
Main characteristics
|7.2842 S 146.6944 E (very approximate location)
|169 (list of all attractions)
|Australia and Oceania, Papua New Guinea, Morobe Province, west from Bulolo
|Klinki pine Araucaria hunsteinii (K.Schumann 1889)
|88.9 m(?)
It is not known whether currently there exists 88.9 m tall (or taller) Klinki pine - but it existed in 1941. Back then such a tree was measured and later mentioned in a classical ecology book by Paul W.Richards "The Tropical Rain Forest: An Ecological Study" which was issued in 1952.
Since then the fact that such a tall araucaria might exist in Papua New Guinea has been repeated in many scientific works, notably in article by Gray B. (Size composition and regeneration of Araucaria stands in New Guinea) in 1975.
There is little dooubt that klinki pine is the tallest of all araucarias. This tree grows in Madang, Morobe and Eastern Highlands Provinces of Papua New Guinea, in mountain sides and ridges.
The wood of klinki has outstanding qualities and this beautiful araucaria is widely exploited, it is cut also by slash&burn agriculture. As a result this tree is becoming more rare and nowadays natural stands can be found in more remote areas.
These trees are very impressive. Average diameter of klinki in oldgrowth stands is 200 cm and more! Trees in such stand are at least 55 m tall, often exceeding 70 m height.
The fantastic 88.9 m tree was measured near Bulolo. Currently in Bulolo has been established an important forestry industry with large plantations of klinki pine. Happily natural stands of this tree are not too rare.
Wondermondo has marked a beautiful stand of klinki pine in Wau Gorge some 15 km from Bulolo. No one knows whether here are 90 m tall trees - but it is definitely worth to check it out!
See Klinki in Bulolo Valley on the map of Papua New Guinea!

The Best Phones for Google Voice
The government may be investigating why iPhone owners can't download Google Voice apps, but there's no shortage of ways to use Google Voice or similar services on smartphones here in the U.S.
In fact, the hardest thing about getting Google Voice seems to be getting access to the service itself, not getting a mobile app; some of our staff are still waiting for their invitations to the service.
BlackBerry users can download the official Google Voice app from http://www.google.com/mobile/products/voice.html#p=blackberry. The app works on every U.S. carrier and lets you make calls from your Google Voice number, listen to your voicemail and read voicemail transcripts, manage your inbox and view call history. Check out our full review of Google Voice for BlackBerry for more information.
Google Android users can download the official Google Voice app from the Android Market on their phone. Third party alternatives are also available in the Android Market. We'll have a review of Google Voice for Android soon.
Windows Mobile and Symbian users can buy the $9.99 third-party GVDialer application, which lets you dial contacts via your Google Voice number. There are versions for Android and BlackBerry, too.
iPhone users can't use Google Voice apps, obviously. But there are alternatives. RingCentral Mobile does many of the same things as Google Voice and is available in the App Store.
Looking for apps and phones to use with Google Voice? Here are our suggestions.
Google Voice for BlackBerry
Google Voice for BlackBerry lets you make and receive calls and text messages through Google's "number for life" service, although it's not as tightly integrated as the Android version.
BlackBerry Bold 9000 (AT&T)
$399.99 with two-year contract
The classy Bold is the top of BlackBerry's line, and it's an excellent executive smartphone with a gorgeous screen, reliable e-mail, Microsoft Office document editing, and a terrific media player. Downloading the third-party Bolt Web browser helps fix problems with the built-in browser, and the Bold works well with Google's official Google Voice app.
BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (Sprint)
$149.99 with two-year contract
Frequently sold extremely cheaply, the Pearl is an example of a great consumer phone that works well with Google Voice. The Pearl's SureType hybrid keyboard isn't for everyone, but it's a great example of an inexpensive, unimposing smartphone that works well with the official Google Voice app.
T-Mobile myTouch 3G (T-Mobile)
$199.99 with two-year contract
The nation's second Google Android smartphone, the myTouch 3G is slimmer and more contemporary than the original T-Mobile G1, even if it lacks a hardware keyboard. The myTouch 3G offers a responsive touch screen. It works with the official Google Voice app, and you can bet that Google will make sure than new GV features come to Android first.
BlackBerry Tour 9630 (Verizon Wireless)
$199.99 with two-year contract
Okay, okay, so it's a little buggy. I've got confidence that RIM will work out the bugs in their top of the line BlackBerry for Verizon Wireless and Sprint, and this device has great bones: global roaming, a beautiful screen, a good keyboard, and of course the official Google Voice app.

Job Title: Technician/Service Advisor Automotive Dealership
Type of Company: An automotive dealership.
Education: high school, many seminars and workshops relating to job
Previous Experience: I started working part-time for the parts department while in high school and when I graduated I took a full-time job in the service department. I've worked for two dealership "families" in 27 years.
Job Tasks: My primary responsibility is to gather information from customers about their cars or trucks and convey it properly to the technician so he can repair it. I write or type what is told to me by the customer so that the technician can understand what needs to be done. I try to give the customer an estimated time of completion and cost. If a repair might be under warranty, it is my responsibility to call the repair estimate in to the warranty company to find out about possible coverage. Since circumstances vary so much, it can be hard to predict what'll be covered and what won't. Sometimes the customer needs a loaner vehicle and I have to arrange for a rental or one of our service department loaners. I then fill out a form with the customer's information and insurance company and policy number. I need to find the best possible, available technician to take on the job. I need to follow up on the repairs with the technician and make sure our estimates of both time and money are reasonably accurate. I might need to update the customer by phone if something changes or the warranty doesn't apply. When the customer comes to pick up the vehicle, I need to review the problems and tell him how we addressed them.
Best and Worst Parts of the Job: The best part of my job is my happy and friendly customers. They are the people who appreciate you and what you've done. Getting a chance to help someone is always very rewarding!
The worst part of the job is the customer that is never happy no matter what you do for him. All you can do is try not to take it personally.
Job Tips: I would say that the best advice for someone wanting to pursue a career in automotive service would be to choose a vehicle maker you're proud to work for. Study and learn as much as you possibly can. If you are interested in vehicles, motors etc. you will definitely learn faster and retain it. Try it out. You could learn from a smaller repair shop to see where your general interests lie. If you choose a specific field such as transmission repair, or electrical repair, you will be able to better concentrate your studies.
Additional Thoughts: I think I would have studied more!

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy has fared well in the face of global economic uncertainty, Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on Friday.
"In spite of global economic instability, Canada's economy, indeed Nova Scotia's economy, have been resilient," Harper told the Halifax Chamber of Commerce during a campaign stop.
"The real disposable income of Canadians has continued to grow through this period, interest rates and inflation remain low and stable, and our budget is in surplus. We are in the strongest financial position by far of any G7 (Group of Seven industrialized nations) country."

This shirt is touched with a bit of tribal style that mixes perfectly with its gothic and wolven design, creating something that merges the wild nature of the wolf with some mysticism that has been held over from the old ways. The front of the hoodie features an impressive and powerful design, depicting a gold-eyed wolf, which wears a totemic ring around its neck. Seemingly unbothered, its unrelenting gaze focuses out in a soul-piercing stare that is quite the sight to see. The back depicts a combination fit for a medicine man, depicting a wolf with golden eyes as it howls to the moon, while in the background, the moon is wreathed by a classic native American dreamcatcher, creating a powerful and almost mystical image. The shirt is made from quality cotton fabric, and given its lack of sleeves, is a comfortable garment that is perfect for doing work in, or for just enjoying the warmest days of the year. It is available in several sizes.

The following morning I woke up about half an hour after breakfast usually began so I had to pull on some clothes quickly and dash down to the canteen before I was too late.
It was only when I sat down with some cereal that I began to feel uneasy that some of the others might be embarrassed on account of things getting seriously out of control the previous night. What if they were having second thoughts about me. I had this surreal feeling that perhaps I was going crazy and it hadn't really happened
Most of the guys seemed to have gone already and that made me feel the more uneasy.
'I'm afraid I overslept a bit' I said rather weakly. Harry, a tall heavy built guy gave me a long look and then smiled knowingly.
'Yes!' he said at length.
'Where is everyone?' I asked.
'Gone to the college' he said and then I remembered they had told me about some school visit.
'So there's just the four of us till we meet up at the gym. You will be around won't you!' said Harry. The sudden earnestness of his manner gave me a sense of relief
'Oh yea I expect so' I said uncertainly.
'You'd better be or we'll be around to fetch you'
Andy was sitting further up the table and slid down the bench to where I was sitting. 'So what are you doing this morning?' he asked.
'I had intended taking a stroll down to the bazaar' I said casually.
Harry suggested they came with me to make sure I was OK. They were very protective towards me and treated me like a woman.
I got up to go back to my room. 'Are we leaving now then?' Andy asked. I said that I still needed a shower and 'one or two other things'.
'Need a hand with any of these 'other things'!' Andy laughed.
Andy had a distinct bulge at the front of his shorts and as the others stood up it was clear their testosterone was getting to work on them too.
'Come on round' I said, knowing there would be no way of preventing them and soon all five of us were back in my room.
'I think I'd better go to the toilet first' I said as casually as possible but I think my tone of voice must have betrayed my mounting excitement.
It seemed my fears of them loosing interest in me were all in my imagination. Later I came to realise that they all felt quite casual about having me around and having sex with me. They not only saw me as a typical Dandy arty type, physically puny and easy to impress but they had a particular fetish about controlling me sexually especially up my bottom.
So I went into the bathroom and took my pants down in front of the others who had all followed me in. I pulled up the seat and bent down in front of the pan because they had all crowded round and seemed to want to see me in action. By now I was totally nude.
Harry said what I needed was a 'fucking good enema' so he grabbed the syringe which I had nearby and filled the basin with warm soapy water. I watched his strong hairy forearms and the virile veins in his biceps bulging from the sleeves of his T shirt each time pulled up the plunger to charge the syringe. After each fill he pushed it firmly into my soapy asshole and pushed in the plunger with his big hands as I felt large doses of warm fluids being forced up my rectum. Then, when I felt I was getting really full, Andy started working this big dildo into me and it seemed to work the fluid further in but it gave me a hell of a thrill inside. It was like these guys were inseminating me with huge doses of their hot semen. After about 2 minutes I just had to expel and managed a really good discharge into the pan but it was obvious that most of what was in me was their sperm from last night.
'What he needs is a fucking good seeing to inside! Look at his chick ass he's just a fucking girl!! I could get my fucking hand right up there inside his fucking boy bum. He needs a real man up him to sort him out!!' Andy was loosing his cool.
'Hang on, and calm down man! You're not going to do anything like that, he's only a kid and he's got a fucking nice tight hole. We're not going to spoil it!' It was Gus. He had just come and had seen my asshole expelling the enema. He was a very commanding person as well as having huge bulging muscles. With his pants down he looked like a Greek god and his huge hard cock made it obvious what he was about to do next.
'Right bend your fucking ass over that chair you're about to find out about real men! Or no wait a minute, better still get him back in his room on his back you know up on a table or something' . Gus was so cool about the directions he was giving Andy and Harry, it was so obvious he was in command and I was longing for him to come up me and control me totally.
'Come on hold his legs right back. Come on!! Get them right apart and pull those pretty pansy ass cheeks aside!! Now where's that fucking cream?' Now even Gus was starting to get impatient as he squeezed a large dollop from the tube and forced it up my bum hole.
'OK Andy you want to see how to fuck a guy inside. You see my fuck pole is just as strong as any arm!' he said this as he drove his huge dick into me. Some of the others had arrive too to look on as Gus drove his massive meat deep into my boy bum.
It felt so huge and all I could see was Gus' pectorals and arm muscles as he restrained his weight while working his cock deeper and deeper inside me.
I had just watched Andy washing his bare arms with soap. As Gus stretched my sphincter I imagined his whole arm was coming up me right to his shoulder.
These were my thoughts as Gus directed his strong dick against my gland. It was sending huge thrills through my whole body. I was shouting out things like 'Ah Gus stuff me! Stuff me!! You fabulous hulk!!' Then I was overwhelmed by this gigantic orgasm. I was writhing around under Gus' weight as he relentless pounded by ass and propelled my sex gland into ever more intense spasms.
Harry had to put his hand over my mouth at one point to keep the noise down. Then all of sudden after making one last huge lunge into my bottom Gus spurted a massive load of spunk straight up my bum hole and flooded every recess of my rectum.
At that moment I loved all those guys especially Gus, he had a strong character and I felt safe with him. I wanted his strong body to take care of me sexually; I wanted him to control me.
After fucking me Gus went off to do something else.
'You'd better shower alone after that' Harry said 'Or we'll all do you right there and that would be a waste of a morning wouldn't it?' he said looking at my newly fucked body admiringly. It was wondering if he felt a bit deflated after seeing the way Gus did me.
'Oh fuck!! look at that juicy crack I'm going in!' Andy said changing his mind. He leapt into the bath with me and we started up the shower and soaped each other down. His naked body was all round me and I felt a huge sense of expectation in my anus as I felt his powerful cock against my balls and thighs. Eventually after teasing my crack several times, I bent right down and he powered into me and turned off the shower.
'Listen!' he said, as the shafted me hard 'Sounds good aye?' All you could hear was a juicy sound as Andy thrust his cock in and out of my ass. He was soon shafting me really hard but then suddenly he stopped, gasped and groaned while I felt a lovely infusion taking place inside me as I felt him force his fuck fluids deep into my bottom.
The others had watched every detail but refrained from following Andy straight away so I dried myself and went and lay on my bed naked. I was on my side with one knee forward. In this easily accessible position I nonchalantly pretended to read a book. The guys were all looking really terrific in the nude. The huge bulging muscles were so beautiful I couldn't resist any longer and took Harry's big fat meaty cock in my mouth.
'We could give him a shave right now' he suggested having difficulty controlling his voice as I got to work sucking his raging knob.
'Yea like we were saying at breakfast'
'That was before you came down' Gus explained coming back into the room.
'He's got a razor and cream in the bathroom, let's get to work!'
They turned me on my back and pushed a towel under my ass. Needless to say I had to abandon my cock sucking as they effortlessly took my nude body in hand. Harry managed to secure some sheets to the headboard so that they held my legs up and apart. It was more comfortable for me and anyway I was powerless to stop them.
First they lathered my pubic hairs and I felt the razor drawn over the whole area just above my erect penis several times as they shaved me smooth. They then lathered me behind my balls and all over my bottom taking time to work apply it all round my anus.
I don't think they realised just how excited I was getting. This sort of touching around my most sensitive parts was driving me crazy. They had just started shaving me between my balls and my anus when one of them, trying to assist, gently held my penis. In seconds I was racing to a climax and they had stop their delicate work as my loins went into rhythmic convulsion as I spurt cum all over my stomach and right up to my chest.
'Sorry about that I didn't know you were so near. We thought you didn't have any left after that fucking you had from Gus'
'No I couldn't get it out you see. He is so big he squeezes my sperm tubes so I can't ejaculate. But it was OK for me, but I must have made a bit of a mess though' I replied.
Gus turned his head and seeing my semen immediately went down and licked every drop off my belly button.
They carried on shaving me and when they had got my bum as smooth as a baby they began shaving my legs and chest, although I only had a few very fine hairs in these areas.
They took me back to the shower to rinse off the soap and Harry, who had slipped out briefly returned with some baby lotion.
I went back to the bed and lay as before. By this time Andy was erect again and volunteered to apply the lotion but had to give up as I took his hot prick in my mouth and began to lick his hot pink knob. It was so hard and hot with shiny lobes and a little hole which began oozing with precum. It tasted a bit salty but I just loved every drop of his virile juices.
The others worked on different parts of me but they all wanted to get at my anus and genitals. Someone had been fingering me most of the time and even though I had jacked off only a quarter of an hour earlier my cock was hard and aching again as others were gently oiling my scrotum.
'Wouldn't he look good my some red lipstick on that juicy ass-hole!' I remember someone saying (and in a couple of days time he actually found some.) They were groping me in an investigative way, opening me up with their fingers to look inside. For me it was the most intensely sexy experience I had aver had. I love exposing myself anyway but this sort of intimate examination was indescribably wonderful.
It was still less than 24 hours since I had first dropped my pants and invited the guys inside me. I was still a little apprehensive about my routine visit to the gym in the afternoon because these weight-lifters took their sport very seriously and I knew that if I was seen as a liability to their performance this new turn of events would quickly sour our relations. The others had gone directly to the gym from the college and so the five of us joined them there about 2pm.
The gym was always a noisy place as the team leaders barked out instructions. It had an atmosphere of physical discipline and controlled aggression as if the air were laden with testosterone. I later discovered that the latter was more literal that I had first realised.
That afternoon I sensed an atmosphere of frustration such as I knew happened when some of the guys were failing to reach their weight targets for the day and possibly even worse failing to meet those of yesterday.
Would I get the blame? ('Sex gives you week knees!' and all that crap.) We came in and went into the changing rooms to shed our travelling clothes. Local customs frowned on shorts etc. I joined the other in sports briefs, trainers and ankle socks but nothing else.
I watched Hughy who had just made an aggressive noise as he went down for his weight. He was looking me in the eyes as he tensioned his thighs and then his huge biceps and as if with ease he raised the massive dumbbell higher and higher until it was above his head.
Others were doing just the same and in minutes the atmosphere had transformed. Hughy had his arms round my waist and was about to slip a hand down my pants when the team captain pulled us all up sharply.
'OK get this straight!' he said 'This gym is our only training area while we are out here and while we are in it we go about our training and we do NOT indulge in sex!. Is that clearly understood?'
We all listened in silence.
'This means also' he went on referring to me, 'that when Karl here massages you both he and you keep your pants on. I accept we all need to shower afterwards and if I can judge your weaknesses by my own Karl must be left to shower on his own in the gym shower block. Right?' (Applause all round)
After that he came over to me as if to explain. 'Don't get me wrong, you did us all a service last night and performance today was above expectation. Perhaps you boosted their testosterone levels - I don't know' he said laughingly.
When I got back to my room there were already several guys waiting and very soon the entire team were all round. I took off my shirt and jeans bent down to undo my shoe laces. I felt my pants being pulled down to my ankles and as soon I felt the fresh air on my buttocks but there were several hands too. 'He won't need any lube. Look at his ass-hole it's oozing out' I found it difficult to keep my anus closed when the guys started feeling me and if I was standing up it nearly always precipitated a leak and everyone could see I was sticky and slimy in my crack and sometimes when I had been done several times blobs of semen would run down the inside of my thighs.
I lay down on the bed on my stomach so they could do me quickly from behind. As the days went on these early evening fuck sessions were routine and the lads were always pretty horny so they just wanted to get up me and jerk off. Later in the evenings they would get me on my back and do me long and hard sometimes on the bed and sometimes on a table.
That evening was the first and I shall never forget the way they were showering me with flattery about the beauty of my body and especially my ass and genitals.
'You're that fucking nice even better than a woman!' someone said. 'Each time I go up his ass I say to myself 'I'm going to give it him long and orgasm him inside' and all that and as soon as I feel that lovely anus around my cock I just go wild. I just want FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!'
This was Andy as usual holding the attention of those trying to wait patently while I was being done by a succession of guys who were pushing and shoving around me. Then Andy jumped me himself and started showing off with a huge lunge into me. His cock was a good 15 cms (6 inches) but when they did me from behind I could take them as deep as they could go. He soon lost control though and like all eleven of the others was pumping his sex juices into my bottom.
Most evenings we would go into the big room with lots of chairs and tables and drink whatever was available. As the evenings wore on my clothes tended to get taken off and some of the guys would fuck me there but many would come back to my room and then I would get my legs tied in the air and be shafted for over two hours continuously. As each guy was doing me I would get a chance to admire the others who were waiting. Sometimes I would fondle their genitals and they would come and kneel next to me on the bed so that I could give them lick their balls and suck their cocks. Some guys liked having their asses licked and even their anuses and I especially liked liking them just behind their balls. Others used to kneel astride my face and encourage me to suck them off. I used to take my time over licking their balls which I found extremely exciting and often caused me to orgasm violently if the guy who was fucking me was getting nicely into my prostate gland. I did used to take some in my mouth and often I would be receiving it from both ends! It eased the queue a bit!
After they had all fucked me at least once most would then go off to bed. Two or three who were selected on a rota would stay for the night taking it in turns to 'Go into detail' as it was called. There were three other beds in the room so I did get some sleep.
It is what happened when they came to enema me the following morning that really determined the future sexual development and orientation.

I am not sure why I have never been too fond of blond guys. From most to least favorite it would be red, brown, black, and then blond. I really could care less though. I guess I just love freckles and freckles are more common in red heads than anything and I just think red hair on a guy is really hot or at least all of the red head guys I have seen are attractive. Anyways same question to you. Do you have a preference or what is your favorite to least favorite of the colors you listed?00|00|0
Red, black, blond, brown. But hair color isn't a major factor for me.

kmbrogers Review
For our space needs, it works
We have a queen sized mattress in an old double frame, and therefore couldn't get a few larger benches which came in better colors and were of higher quality. This one suits our space just fine--I'm just not crazy about it's white-beige-y color, nor the smaller storage space inside. But we were very pleased with the low price, and it arrived promptly and the set-up was a snap. I felt very happy with overstock.com--it was the first purchase from them and I won't hesitate to buy other products if the need arrises.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. pretty good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? perfect

It's a clean job and you always look nice because you are professionally dressed. When customers are not in the store (most of the time it's void of customers) you can read a book or newspaper, call friends or family on your cell or even on their phone, go to nearby stores conveniently, or if you are favored there, you can go to Bojangles without clocking out then return and spend an indefinite time eating it--again, if you are favored. I'm not a big sports fan so I had to watch for customers while the others got to watch the ball games (no customers). You got 2 paid holidays off but they took it away from you by cutting hours. We often had to take less than 40 hours because there were no customers. They seemed to be pretty good about leaving if you got sick or had to go to a doctor's appointment if at least two others were on duty. The manager was very young then they got a much older one. You earned sick pay gradually.
They advertise Competitive Pay- but it's next to minimum wage $7 hour. You could try for commission but it was extremely hard to achieve, and if anything went wrong, you didn't get it. Like, if the order didn't come in on time. We always had the feeling we would be sabotaged anyway. Only one person kept trying to get it, but he had been there a long time and had a lot of family and friends and old customers to ask for him. Plus, he was "given" a lot of sales he didn't earn and stole customers from 3-4 other sales people I was told. They advertise Insurance Coverage, but when I heard it, it was a joke. It was a boring job, and I was ashamed to be there. They had three prices on merchandise: a highly inflated price, their advertised price, and if the item was on sale, a third price which was a percentage of the highly inflated price. The sales team had to dress business-like but the office staff could get by with anything--very unprofessional and sometimes very rude to customers or a salesperson. There is a whole lot of turnover so be forewarned!
Advice to Management
The method used for changing ads wastes time, cards, and is redundant. Smart would be a mainstay card.
Annual overseas incentive trip. Birthday cash given. Increment upon confirmation. Quarterly staff team bonding. Shuttle bus from MRT to office allows us to knock off on time.
Inconvenient working location. Bonus and increment getting lesser and lesser as years go by. Lots of politics around the office.
Friendly/Helpful coworkers and staff. The coworkers were nice.
Terrible training program
High turnover rate
Bad management
Low pay
Hard to make commission
Advice to Management
Invest into a better training and sales computer program. You can also try to attract a younger customer base.

A few days ago I went to a flea market with 4 big bags filled with stuff. Mostly clothes, shoes, and purses. A lot of the pieces were not even worn more than 2-3 times. They were not all mine as I got things to sell from Lukas and my mom as well but still. I estimate that I had at least 200 pieces with me, sold maybe around 90 of them and made 120 Euros. If every piece on my table once cost 10 Euro (and almost everything was definitely more expensive than that) it once had a total value of 2000 Euro. Or maybe even more. And now I can only sell it for almost nothing and nobody is willing to pay more than 3 Euro per piece? That's crazy and makes me sad! Not because I don't get a lot of money for my stuff but because I think its depressing how everything loses its value. Think cars are a bad investment, think again. Okay, so I had my enormous pile of items waiting to be sold and back home there are at least 10 more bags of stuff that I don't really need or ever use. Over the last three weeks we spent a lot of time going through almost every cabinet and box in our apartment and attic and sorted out stuff that we can throw away or sell. This experience taught me that I never ever want to own as much stuff as we do now. And by modern standards we don't even own much really. Why would I need and keep things that I never use? Now everything that we use regularly or that has an emotional value for us stays – everything else has to leave. In the next year I want to learn and write more about minimalism. Moving to another continent with just one or two checked bags might be the perfect opportunity for that! Buying sustainable and fair produced products is the logical thing that comes next. I'm of the opinion that you should think twice about everything you buy. Do you really need another shirt if you already own 20? Or a new pair of shoes, a bag or a new phone? And if you decide that you really need it, please consider where the products come from. Most of them are produced in third world countries under horribly unfair and degrading conditions. But today, choosing to work against this is easier than ever. A while ago I started to buy mostly fair and sustainable produced clothes for example. There are of course exceptions (I don't buy socks for 20 Euros per pair, sorry!) but I try to buy only what I really need or what I've been wanting for a long time and, wherever possible, fair produced only. A few brands that I really like are Patagonia, Armedangels and Hessnatur. There's so much more about that topic and you will definitely find more about fairfashion, greenwashing etc. on the blog in the future. Stay tuned! Are you ever thinking about how much waste you produce? The sheer amount is just insane. It shocks me that it is almost impossible to buy ingredients for a proper meal without simultaneously producing a huge amount of waste. I am currently informing myself about ways to avoid that and how to make stuff myself that help me produce less waste. Shampoo or alternative cosmetics are only two examples. But that's also going to be a whole new topic so for the time being I just want you to maybe stop and think about the amount of waste you produce day in day out, in which ways this plastic waste affects you and your health and if there are ways to avoid this overuse and over-consumption. And if anyone here knows if there is a store where you can buy food in bulk in Cape Town – please let me know. Okay, I am happy now that I shared a few thoughts here. I'm thinking about these topics a lot lately and I think if everyone would just concern themselves a little bit more with them the world would be a tiny bit better. What are you guys thinking about conscious living? Is it something that is on your mind at all? I am curious! I think that all of the previously mentioned points are very important and that everybody should at least try to live in a more sustainable way. That being said we will focus the blog a bit more into this direction in the future. Don't think that we both are perfectly handling all of these things, but we are trying our best and we want to improve. We also have two articles where you find some information about Responsible Tourism and about the dark side of animal-basted tourist attractions already. Go have a look if you haven't yet.
Top 5+ Campsites in Southern & Eastern Africa
Before we set off to our trip the thought of living in a car for almost 9 months scared me a bit, to be honest. Probably because the one and only time that I've been camping before was a three week camping trip through New Zealand in winter. But after the first couple of nights in our cozy car I realized how much I love camping and now, back in Hamburg, i miss the beautiful campsites, wild nature around us and being outside 24/7. I thought this post might be a great opportunity to take a stroll down memory lane and give you some ideas, tipps and inspiration if you are planning your next trip through Africa or if you are already there, looking for a great place to stay. So here they are – our Top 5 Campsites in Southern and Eastern Africa plus an additional list of campsites that we can recommend. Only separated from the National Park through a riverbed lies this little gem. We've stayed here during the dry season which means that the riverbed was the only source of water for the wildlife. Therefore we had elephants, hippos, giraffes and even a pack of lions walking only a few steps away from us looking for water and yummy fresh grass. What I enjoyed the most was fleeing from the crazy heat into the pool which is overlooking the riverbed and parts of the national park, watching the wildlife stroll past us. If you are planning on visiting this beautiful place, here are two tips for you: First, there's a dirt road which goes from the little town 'Petauke' almost directly to the South Luangwa National Park. It's a great route and if you've got the time and the nerves for some rough roads you should give it a try. Tip numero two is: stock up on food before you go there. There is a small town nearby (20 minutes by car) where you can buy fresh fruits and veggies but you should take everything else that you might need with you. If you are too lazy to drive all the way to town, there's a guy visiting the camp site almost every day that sells his home grown veggies to you – a winwin! We already wrote a whole article about this place which you can find here. The last thing that made this place so unique is that due to the fact that they include the community into the business and that therefore everyone makes a profit, it is really safe to walk around, even at night (which is a thing that I wouldn't recommend doing anywhere else in africa!). We love this place. We already wrote a whole article about it here and you can read more about the beautiful Zomba Plateau here or visit Mark and Silvia's website here. While sitting in the car for hours and hours, leaving kilometer after kilometer behind us I spend a lot of time searching for campsites along our route that are not only cheap but as pretty as possible as well. I really missed a website with a list of good places that I could trust. Often times the only reviews I could find online where a few years old and, in the end, never really accurate. I always tried to find places that are not too far from each other to avoid driving for too long, that are cheap, clean and safe.
Keeping The Wildlife Wild – Blood Lions and Canned Hunting
The topic I want to adress today are the tourist attractions and activities where animals are involved, for example riding on an elephants back, walking and taking pictures with big cats, cage diving with sharks and many more. It's a topic that we've encountered many times in the past few years and one that makes me sad, angry and often quite disappointed at the same time because it's so easy to avoid. I always wonder how so many people actually visit those places where animal cruelty is the norm without looking behind the scenes or questioning anything at all. I guess that is because most of them don't know or don't want to know what is going on or maybe it's just more important to get your awesome shot with a wild animal to show friends back home than to think twice about what you are supporting at that moment. To make you understand what i'm talking about, I want to explain the whole business using the sad tale of the so called 'blood lions' as an example. It all starts when the newborn lion cubs are only a few days old. They are taken away from their mothers – that often live in captivity to start with – to be either sold to volunteer programs, or to petting zoos, where tourists can interact with the cubs, take pictures and cuddle with them. The volunteer programs are the most perverted though. Heaps of young people come over to africa with the intention of 'protecting the wildlife', spending – their parents – fortunes to 'help', thinking that they play a productive part in efforts to reintegrate these estranged lions back into the wild at some point. Or they just straight up arrive in one of the petting zoos where tourists can interact with the cubs, take pictures and cuddle with them paying up to 1500€ a week! If you want to read more about the canned lions / canned hunting, you can find more informations here or here. If you want to get involved in positive projects, check out Kevin Richardsons conservation efforts over at his website as he's probably the most prominent figure of lion-conservation worldwide

You can find out all manner of things by reading T-shirts these days. In Toronto recently I learned: "There are eight species of turtles in Ontario. Six are at risk of vanishing forever." Not everything you read on a T-shirt is funny.
I was attending the Turtle Stewardship and Management Workshop hosted by the Toronto Zoo. The heroes of the conference were the 200 dedicated Canadians who gave talks, attended meetings, or otherwise supported the conference. These people are dedicated to saving their eight species of turtles. If any of the species do go extinct, these turtle activists will make sure that the turtle destroyers are identified and put in the spotlight of public scrutiny. These are the kind of advocates it takes to get the attention of the public and government officials in Canada. They are the same kind of people who promote environmental awareness and protection in the States.
The southeastern states are a lot warmer than southern Canada and have even more kinds of turtles. But the problems facing them are the same. Turtles are vanishing at an alarming rate from Canada, the Southeast, the entire world. Many people do not want to hear that turtles face the same problems, especially environmental pollution and habitat destruction, as other wildlife in today's overpopulated world. Pollution and habitat degradation are sad by-products of what is billed as economic progress. When such progress is achieved without regard for North America's wildlife and natural habitats—or for the people who care about them—I am not sure it can properly be called "progress." An additional threat to turtles is overharvesting. Southeastern states have become the targets of turtle trappers who move in and remove literally tons of turtles from the wild to be shipped and sold to Chinese and other Asian markets.
Three steps are required to develop successful conservation programs that protect turtles or any other type of wildlife. First, ecologists must conduct the scientific research necessary to document what the basic environmental requirements of the target organism are and how human activities are affecting their biology. The Canadian scientists and educators at the Toronto conference pointed out two of the major problems for their turtles. Foremost on the list was insensitive commercial development of wetland habitat and environmental pollution resulting from unregulated industries, agriculture, and urbanization. Road mortalities due to excessive highway construction are also a concern. The same two issues are commonly cited problems in the United States.
The second step is for turtle ecologists to educate John and Jane Q. Public about the problems confronting wildlife species. But the "public" also includes other ecologists, conservation biologists, and land managers—including in the United States those associated with state parks and natural resource departments, the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and similar agencies that are supposed to be stewards of our natural resources. Another important audience is elected officials, who are ostensibly representing the people.
The third step in a successful conservation program is for policy makers to listen objectively and act in accordance with what they learn. Scientists, conservation biologists, and state and federal land managers can be expected to do that. The response of elected officials is more problematic. Some simply do not care what the data reveal. They exemplify a saying you might see on a T-shirt: "My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with the facts." A wise and educated Jane and John Q. Public would vote such individuals out of office. And astute politicians would be listening and would understand that the majority of their constituents want to protect wildlife and natural resources and are opposed to unregulated degradation of land and water.The Toronto T-shirt sported two numbers: 8, for existing species of turtles, and 6, for those at risk of going extinct. A comparable T-shirt in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, or Alabama would have the following numbers: 21, 25, 27, 30 and 13, 17, 19, and 21. That second number should send an urgent message to policy makers and the people who vote for them. That's too many kinds of turtles to see vanish before our eyes.

I heard girls saying that if a guy hits a girl in self defense he should be expected to fight stronger men? what logic is that? IT WAS SELF DEFENSE, what is the aim of fighting a stronger person so he will hurt himself or what? what is the logic of this girl? it is a girl on here GAG but i won't mention who said that.
Most Helpful Girl
That really doesn't make any sense. Since its the Internet, maybe she's having trouble articulating herself? If we're talking about self-defense, why even bring up fighting other people? That's not what the topic is lol. She's going off topic.00|00|0
She seemed very violent on men, and even talked about putting them to hospital.
hmmm okay well that doesn't sound like a normal person lol.
I agree with anonman32, if you need to resort to violence in self defense then do it, but use as little force as possible. a super strong guy can defend himself against a smaller guy without really hurting the smaller guy.
