Cut or Uncut. The Preference Debate.
I didn't see an uncut cock until I was in my early thirties. Growing up in a very white, central Canada area, I had only seen uncircumcised dicks in European porn and maybe the odd foreign film. My friends, guys in college I fooled around with, and guys I fucked in my twenties—-all cut. That all changed shortly after moving to Los Angeles. In a city where a large portionof the population is Latino, many of them uncircumcised, it was only a matter of time before I got my first taste of cock from the other side of the tracks. I remember being in the showers at the gym 10 years ago. Across from me was the most beautiful Cuban man I ever saw, shower curtain askew, stroking his enormous uncut cock. He continued to show off for me until we both shot our loads. All I remember is how enormous and erotic his cock was, and how the foreskin slid up and down his shaft as he jacked off. It was such a turn on. But not everybody would have thought so. Like Coke vs Pepsi or Mac vs PC, we all have our preferences… and cock is no different. In the cut vs uncut debate there are no shortage of opinions on what kind of dick we like to suck on , fuck with, or even just look at. For many men, like my friend David, any cock will do. As long as he has a hot face and decent bod… a dick is a dick… I'm an equal-opportunity cocksucker," he tells me. "Once his cock gets hard it's all the same to me. Plus when the guy's legs are behind his head and I'm pounding his ass I really don't care about his dick. My friend David is a top, so maybe the look and feel of a guy's dick is not his first priority. But most men are actually pretty picky about their penis proclivities. And when it comes to what kind of dick is on the menu, most gay guys I talked to don't mince words when it comes to what they like to put in their mouth or up their butt. For those in the pro-cut camp it seems to be all about aesthetics. The head is exposed, it seems more erotic, as opposed to it being covered up. "It just looks hotter and more masculine," says my friend Michael. "Uncut cocks don't look sexual or arousing to me. I like to suck on the head like a lollipop and all that extra skin just gets in the way. And when I see a guy that is semi-hard and he is cut, it is such a major turn-on. All I can think about is getting fucked with nice smooth pole. I just find it way more provocative to see a hot naked guy with a big cut dick hanging between his legs." Anthony, an uncut English boy I met in London, tells me cut dick is just the epitome of what he finds sexy and masculine. "I grew up around other uncut European boys and whenever I meet an American guy I can't wait to get in his pants. There's a real thrill in getting to experience sex with a hot American guy with a big cut cock. It's like a conquest." So maybe it's just a matter of being attracted to what you don't have yourself? Not for everyone. Some guys are as picky with their cock as they are with their shoes. "I personally find uncut cocks a huge turn-off—they always remind me of aardvarks…and personally, I find nothing sexy about aardvarks," says my friend Don, who is cut. "I don't mind how they look when they are hard, sure, but if I had to choose, then it's cut all the way. Cut cock smells good and clean." And Don is not alone. Several of the men I asked about uncut dick winced at first, and then proceeded to express colorful statements of disapproval. But for every Don there seems to be twice as many men who absolutely love uncircumcised guys. The unfair stereotype about uncut meat is that they are somehow dirty dicks is exactly what turns some men on. In fact, for guys who love uncut dick, it's less about aesthetics and more about the experience. It seems that sucking a nice big uncut dick is the ultimate experience for many men. "I love the extra flesh and the extra sensitivity, and I crave the scent of the tastey thick juices oozing from the foreskin", says Matt. "I also love sliding my tongue under the skin and pulling the guy's foreskin over my dick while we jack off together. My ultimate fantasy is getting gang-banged by a dozen swarthy uncut men… their hot meat all over my body." "I love that they seem meatier. I love how you can make the skin come over and below the head and that you can stretch the foreskin," says Kirk. "I prefer uncut… the way it's like unwrapping a present… although I wouldn't turn down a cut cock at all. Uncut just seems so raw and natural to me, and that's super hot. Nothing turns me off more than a hairless pretty white boy with a standard-issue cut dick and a prissy attitude." And what about the proud owners of this much debated variety of cock? Do uncut guys really get more pleasure from jacking off, fucking, and getting sucked? According to research quoted in the LA Times the answer is no. But the answer seems to be a resounding "yes" for those on the receiving end. Says my friend Darren, "It feels so much better when I get fucked by an uncut cock. It just slides in better and the sensations in my ass are different. It's hard to explain but it feels so fucking good and it just seems easier and more natural. And jacking off a dick that has foreskin is way more fun." Some guys appreciate uncut dick so much they try to reverse their own circumcision. They eroticize the process with toys, weights, and other devices. Others go as far as having surgery. "I'm angry that my parents circumcised me without my permission," says Brian. "I have been doing the stretching technique to get my foreskin back, and my boyfriend loves it. The whole reversal process is erotic as well, so it works out for both of us." It is also undeniable that the thirst for uncut cock is a huge money-maker in the gay porn industry. Just browse some of the titles online and you'll know what I mean. Uncut Cock Pool Party. Young and Uncut. Uncut Amateurs. Latin and Uncut. Uncut Bareback. Big Uncut Dicks. The list is endless. The sheer amount of porn with the word "uncut" in the title is testament to its popularity. There are even dildos on the market with realistic foreskin. And even though you can find plenty of gay porn with exclusively cut men, being cut just isn't exotic, so it rarely gets played up. "I would love if someone did a series called Big Juicy Cut Cocks or something like that. I'd buy them all," says Jared. The closest thing I could find to what Jared's appetite was a title from Wurstfilm called, My Israeli Platoon. Judging from the many men I talked to there's a huge market for guys who fetishize big cut cock. I imagine if a major porn studio released titles like Big Juicy Cut Cocksuckers and Bareback Cut Fuckers they would make a lot of money. In the USA about 80% of all males are circumcised as opposed to about 25% in the rest of the world. But statistics show that uncut is on the rise in North America. Increasingly more new mothers are choosing to leave their baby's foreskin alone. A hipster trend? Maybe. But perhaps one day in the future the image of a hot stud proudly wielding his big uncut dick will look just as American as the next guy. Uncut meat has been getting lots of celebrity exposure on the internet lately too. David Beckham, Jude Law, Daniel Radcliffe we've all seen the pictures of these hot Brits naked. Either way, it's good news for uncut cock aficionados, and for all of us really. Light, dark, cut, uncut? Variety is the spice of life, right? So the next time you go home with that hot guy at the bar that has an uncut surprise in his pants, consider yourself lucky. I found out by accident how hot an uncut dick can be. Go ahead and try em' both becuase you might like them equally.

I personally do not own an iPod... yet. However, I entered a drawing at my work to win a 30Gb video iPod that will be held next week. I'll let you know if I win. I was just over at Monergism.com and saw some crazy news that I thought I would let those of you who do not regularly visit that website know about. Apparently Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) has put a lot of their seminary lectures, chapel services, and other events on iTunes FOR FREE! This is an invaluable resource. RTS is home to such professors as John Frame, Bruce Waltke, Ligon Duncan (Adjunct) and many others. To see a list of available files or to download iTunes click here.

text: Once a week, I leave for work at forty-five after. It's a very strange time to leave for something. It means at fifteen after, I still have a half hour before I have to leave. I sit around and look at the clock, confused about everything; I know I've taken commuter trains at forty-five after (though not regularly) in my youth and I don't remember them throwing the proverbial spanner in the noggin's functions. But, for whatever reason, that forty minutes–from five after when I realize I still have forty minutes–to forty-five after is always strange. The urgency is front-loaded.

Let's start with today and work backwards a few days. Today OK Linné put on a one day event. It was in the woods right behind the apartment, so it only took Ross and I about 8 minutes to bike over. We biked the way that we would run, but going uphill through roots and rocks on a bike that has no gears is difficult :) Once we arrived I delivered the chocolate chip cookies bars that I made last night to the food stand to sell. Turns out I should have hidden a few in the bag myself, as I was tempted to go buy one later in the afternoon. But it seemed a bit silly to buy something that you made, so I resisted.
Since these bars sparked the comment about food and orienteering, here is where I got the recipe.
In order to make them into bars I poured the mixture into a 10x14 (yep, no 9x13 here!) and smoothed it out. It looks thin, but will rise as it bakes. Some changes:
- I don't have an electric mixer, so I heated the butter up a bit in a pot and stirred the sugar into almost melted butter.
- The chocolate sinks to the bottom and 210g as way too much. More like 170g.
- Baking time is a bit unknown. I found that when I baked it at 177°C the top got too hard and the bottom stayed too mushy. So I baked it at more like 160°C for about 32 minutes. Just guess :)
|Elisa working at registration
|Mari parking cars
|Johanna working at the starts
|Lisa and I
|Beautiful fall day!
|Ross before the race. Stretching out his calves from intervals on Thursday...
It was a beautiful day and I spectated with Kristina's boyfriend and sister. I saw Ross at 8k, 20k and the finish chute. He ran an awesome race and you can read all about it in his log.
|Ross looking strong with 22k left!
|Kristina also at 8k, running well from the start!
Kristina was a rock star and ran only a few minutes slower than Ross and was 5th woman. She was my interval buddy the other day when we were training, but I couldn't have kept up with her today! I'm a bit jealous of them. Sure, they were limping around all afternoon, but that feeling of accomplishment must be great.
|There was a lot of sitting once Ross finished...
|Yum! Baked and unbaked bits of heaven.

Count on Vijay Antony, the music director-turned-hero, to name his films after many 'abandoned' titles and still be in the reckoning. After Yaman and Saithaan, Vijay Antony's upcoming film has been titled as Thimiru Pudichavan (arrogant fellow)!
Keen to get himself associated only with scripts of versatility, Vijay Antony's new film is to be helmed by debutant director Ganesha who would also be penning the story, screenplay and dialogues in the film. Vijay Antony plays a cop but doesn't have a single protagonist to fight against but would still be starring in an action-packed, entertaining venture, Ganesha reveals.
"Vijay Antony's get-up and characterization would be very different from other cop films," Ganesha says. "Youths would have a very nice role model to follow and get inspiration from," he adds. Vijay Antony scores the film's music and is also the film's editor.
"I penned the script three years ago with only Vijay Antony in my mind to play the protagonist. I waited patiently for him for three years to give me call-sheet dates," informs Ganesha. Vijay Antony is also said to be learning the martial art of Silambattam exclusively for some stunt sequences in the film!

Do you like watching the trailers when you go to the cinema or do you time your arrival to miss them? I quite like them because they give me a flavour of an upcoming film without having to pay to watch it! Of course, the best trailers build up enough excitement and anticipation that you must come back to see the whole film when it comes out.
The season of Advent, properly understood, can be seen as kind of trailer, not simply for Christmas, but for the story which unfolds afterwards; Good Friday, Easter and Pentecost. The first two Sunday's of Advent speak of God preparing the world for Jesus firstly in the lives of the patriarchs such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and then through the prophets who helped his people understand the true context of the events of their history. Today, the focus turns to John the Baptist, the last trailer before the main movie; Jesus Christ.
So, what do we know about John? The gospel of Luke tells us the story of his birth, linking it with the birth of Jesus. Mary and Elizabeth, John's mother, are relatives possibly cousins or second cousins. Both births are announced by Gabriel, the angelic messenger, both are soaked in the presence of the Holy Spirit and both have a miraculous element. In John's case, Elizabeth has passed the normal age of childbearing. Also, his father, Zechariah, reluctant to believe the news that Elizabeth will be pregnant, is unable to speak until in faith he gives John his name; the one he had been told by the angel, writing it on a tablet. These are remarkable events, but Luke tells us at the outset of his gospel that he has researched them well. He would have no doubt spoken with surviving members of the family, Mary herself in all probability being still alive to tell Luke her story.
We know nothing of John's upbringing although it was likely to have been near Jerusalem in the Judean hill country. This would make it possible for him to be influenced by a group called the Essenes who had a base at Qumran not far away in the valley near the dead sea. This group rejected much of the grandeur and status of the temple in Jerusalem preferring to live a frugal existence on the edge of the desert. The remains of their settlement can still be visited today and shows how they developed sophisticated ways of channelling water in a dry place, not only for their own consumption but also to conduct some form of ritual washing or baptism. They spent much of their time writing, copying parts of the old testament and creating other sacred texts. These scrolls were hastily hidden in stone jars and placed in caves when the site was threatened only to be discovered in 1947 by a Bedouin shepherd boy. They have become known as the Dead Sea scrolls and have provided much interest to scholars in recent years.
Was John ever a member of that community? We cannot be sure on that. He bursts onto the scene at the beginning of the gospels coming out of the wilderness or desert wearing his camel hair coat eating locusts and wild honey. Even by the standards of the day he was certainly alternative. His message is clear and stark. 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is come near.' (Matthew 3.2) The word 'repent' means more than just to say sorry. 'Metanoia', the Greek word means literally to turn around, to give up old ways, bad ways and follow a good path. John had no doubts that those who came out into the desert to hear him were going in the wrong direction; their lives were full of sin and they needed to repent. They needed to show that their repentance was genuine doing good things like sharing their possessions. Tax collectors were told to collect only what they should, and soldiers were asked not to abuse their position to get money but to be satisfied with their wages. (Luke 3.10 -14) When the powerful religious leaders came along, John calls them a brood of vipers. (Matthew 3.7) Those who considered themselves good Jews needed to repent just as much as the unclean tax collectors or the Roman Soldiers. Repentance said John was for everyone.
His message is just as relevant today. We are all aware of those we might call sinful in our society: corrupt people in big business, government or sport, those who deal in drugs and traffic human beings, feckless fathers who get women pregnant and expect them to have an abortion or bring up the child on their own; those who are rude selfish and abusive. The ills of our society are many varied and devious fuelled by media and social media. But John would not just be speaking to 'them'. He would speak to the nice people, those who pay their taxes and recycle their rubbish. Yes, he would challenge us too; those who are religious. Sin is a neglected word in our vocabulary today, but it describes that which is deep in all our hearts which rebels against God, seeking personal gain over the glory of God, ensuring our own wellbeing over the needs of the disadvantaged. For many of us, social conditioning and upbringing will have helped us control these uglier instincts of our humanity better than those who get themselves in trouble. Yet, until that sin is dealt with through repentance and faith, it remains a block between us and the holy God we who holds our eternal destiny in his hands.
That's why John's message is stark, clear and uncompromising. It is the trailer for the coming of the kingdom of heaven that was about to appear in the person and work of Jesus. Such a message was not going to be popular. It eventually landed John in prison. He had been so bold as to denounce even the sin of the King; Herod Antipas, the ruler in Galilee for luring and subsequently marrying his brother Philip's wife, Herodias. It was while he was in prison for his troubles that John begins to wonder about Jesus. John clearly understood that he was the forerunner, the trailer: 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness' (Matthew 3.3 after Isaiah 40.3)) quoting the prophet Isaiah. But was Jesus really the one to come? Was the one to whom crowds were flocking the same person he had baptised when there was a dove and a voice? John wanted to be sure.
The messengers return from Jesus with a further quotation from Isaiah: 'the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the leapers are cleansed, the dead hear, the dead are raised and the poor have the good news brought to them.' (Matthew 11.5 after Isaiah 35.5-6) These are words which Jesus had ascribed to himself when preaching in the synagogue at Nazareth. (Luke 4.18-19) They sum up the ministry of Jesus in both physical and spiritual terms. Indeed, in his ministry these words find fulfilment. Yes, Jesus affirms, he is the long-awaited Messiah; the movie is now showing.
Two further points. Firstly, Jesus adds to the prophetic words 'and blessed is anyone who takes no offence at me' (Matthew 11.6) Jesus affirms that it is now all about him and not the trailer, John. As John says of Jesus elsewhere: 'he must increase, I must decrease'. (John 3.30) It is still all about Jesus. Let us take no offence at him, let us receive him as the only one in whom our sin may be truly done away with allowing us to fully come to God. To realise that this is not film or make-believe, but the eternal reality that every human being must face.
Secondly, Jesus' words seem hard on John. Even the least in the kingdom of God will be greater than he. (Matthew 11.11) This is not to do John down but to remind us that he was just the trailer. The main movie is really where it's at. It's possible for us just to watch the trailer and not see the film itself. To see Christian faith as something interesting wholesome and helpful without ever getting into the real adventure as members of the kingdom of God; without living our lives with Jesus, without fully understanding the amazing love with which God adopts us as his children in Christ. This is not film, this is real and a message for life, not just for Christmas.

By Leopoldine Core
228 pp. Penguin Books. Paper, $16.
A friend and I used to joke that our lives had the shape of a short story collection rather than a novel. When something memorable happened to one of us — memorable but not exactly momentous, portentous but lacking a clear narrative thrust — we'd send the other a message with the story's title and a short synopsis. The joke was that our days were a smattering, a series, a set not adding up to anything in particular. But this joke also reflected a real wish to make something of the disconnected moments that our lives comprised: We felt intimidated by the examples that novels set of people living on a plotline, headed toward some type of narrative resolution. The weight and coherence of those fictive lives locked us out of our own.
"When Watched," Leopoldine Core's first collection of short stories, dwells in the realm of the sparkling mundane, the type of human matter that is invitingly recognizable, the type of matter that you yourself have participated in or observed. Written exclusively in the third person and unfolding almost in real time, Core's stories have a voyeuristic quality, like peering through the windows of a ground-floor apartment as you walk by. In one story, two women are spending time together at the tail end of a long and promising date, when one suddenly tires of the other and asks her to leave. In another, a woman watches a man she is in love with, but does not know very well, choosing fruit in a grocery store. An old couple abandon a cross-country drive and end up taking a bus and a plane the rest of the way. A disappointed writer senses the dissolution of his marriage — perhaps mistakenly.
The tart, muted tone of Core's narrative voice has earned her comparisons to Mary Gaitskill, Jane Bowles and even William Burroughs, but these references don't do justice to the intimacy and relative gentleness with which the author treats her group of modern, often millennial drifters. We read Gaitskill and Bowles to witness their characters self-destruct — but in Core's stories what agonizes is the way she lets hers be, helplessly embedded in the present, wondering about what might be happening outside their own lives but unable to act upon that outer world in any significant way. In "Paradise," Hank, a writer married to a more powerful and successful writer, compares himself to a neglected dog and recalls his wife's theory that one should reward a dog for good behavior only sometimes. "Hank considered the chronic hope of a dog trained in this way, a dog made to wonder: 'Will she give it to me now? How bout now?' It seemed cruel to melt a being down like that — to nothing but desire."
Dwelling in the disappointments of the watchers, particularly those who desire something from the doers, Core captures a precious slice of what it is to be human — not all that different from what it is to be a house cat or any one of the "trapped creatures on earth, all of them watching the free world and waiting to join it." But because these stories choose not to depict their characters undergoing change or taking decisive action, there can be a loose, somewhat arbitrary quality to what the reader is shown. Where there is friction, it does not necessarily spark conflict; where there is desire, it fizzles or is crushed or burns silently in secret. Taken individually, the stories can feel uncompleted: They offer glimpses into the texture of a life, but rarely capture its most singular moments.
But when Core chooses to push past the inconclusive framing she often employs, she reaches moments of extraordinary grace. In the most surprising and unexpectedly powerful story of the collection, "Historic Tree Nurseries," an aging rock star and her much younger girlfriend drive 500 miles to adopt a dog they've seen only in photos. On the drive they bicker and chafe at the way they are made to feel strange and grotesque when seen through hetero-normative Midwestern eyes. But as they sit on a strip of grass outside a taco shop on the drive back, they notice people watching them with a new tenderness. One by one strangers come up and ask to pet their little dog, ask to touch its small body. It's a startling and elegant manifestation of the author's insistence that gravity unfolds unwilled in the midst of regular life, a sort of miracle that can occur only when you watch, wait and observe.

podcast is delighted to welcome author Farah Mendelssohn to the show Farah I'm so glad you could join us thank you it's fantastic particularly doing this across the Atlantic yes so I'm going to start off with a slightly different opening question that I usually ask authors Farah you've written a number of critical studies of science fiction and fantasy literature you've even won a Hugo Award for Co editing the Cambridge companion to science fiction you're currently working on a massive definitive study of the works of Robert Heinlein so why is your first novel a historical novel rather than fantasy or science fiction oh well first of all because I've never been any good at writing science fiction which is what I would write if I could I must say here I never intended to be a fiction writer and maybe the only person you ever interview who never wrote fiction as a child and as absolutely forced to did it once as an undergraduate because the alternative was a major theoretical essay and of course I had lot of the listed one word I was teaching creative writing a few years ago and a colleague who shall be nameless turned around and said I shouldn't be teaching creative writing unless I'd written fiction well one will be irritated so I spent the next year learning to write fiction and one of the people I modeled my cellphone is a British children's right to call Geoffrey trees because he always wrote 60,000 word books and because I'm very much a structuralist I could break them down see what he was doing and I guess his work as a model and wrote several historical pieces because all my degrees are in history I'm not a literature person at all I have three degrees in history that was actually it's something something that was gonna come up later in the interview because it looked like all of your teaching work has been in literature but I know know I started in American Studies moved into history when American Studies started a fold in the UK which it did across the country and then I got pulled into cultural studies and then somebody said we need somebody to teach horror you know lots about science fiction can I get what kinetics and I found myself being pulled into the publishing department because of my work on science fiction conventions and work with publishers and that's how I ended up drifting but I've hardly ever taught straight literature so what's your a specialty in history other than American Studies well I trained good 1930s American history I have a passion for the English Civil War and my current critical book is a book about children's literature written about the English Civil War which is fascinating that's pretty much my second look yeah it's fascinating really is riveting there is almost nothing more exciting than English Civil War for all sorts of reasons not least because the rate of literacy Wizards an all-time high and lots of people from sections of society you would not expect either to have left documents or to be engaged in politics left documents and were engaged in politics how can you resist brilliant Holly who in one breath is telling herself led to send home some socks so she can be knit them and then the next is writing to him about the arguments between Parliament in the king oh yeah amazing stuff but the Regency of course will read Georgia ter yes it's just part of growing up and the early 19th century got more and more interesting to me through reading a book by somebody called Jenny agloe called in these times and it's about Britain during the years of the Napoleonic war and the stuff I've never quite understood about that period started to make a lot more sense which is a Britain is under siege its pull it's isolated and it's insular but also by the end of the war it's got a man shortage one of the things I realized that was fascinated about is that georgette Heyer starts writing about the Regency during the man shortage and a twenties thirties oh yeah watch replicating is the post-war to lose situation with two periods actually match quite neatly in terms of the romantic stresses of the period and that I think may be why that the stories she tells works so well for her in the initial audience and it's where you have quite a lot of characters in it two older women who've missed out because their generation died on the field of Waterloo it is a fascinating period and it's one that a lot of people don't really make enough of when they write in that period and they always tend to focus on London or a countryside when it's the period that the great cities like Birmingham Manchester and Leeds and rising up but I come from Birmingham and if you come from Birmingham you tend to be a bit of a patriot it's a lot like Chicago if you think of the answer is Birmingham has been very similar to Chicago that sense of being a second capital uh-huh and I was thinking that what you were saying about the types of stories that get written during a man shortage that with the American Civil War the same dynamic was part of what contributed to women's relationships the whole you know romantic friendship Boston marriage era yeah where women were making their own households because they were extras and this is total piece of trivia so one of the writers I've been looking at this week is an American writer called Mary Beulah Dix I think about her name right she's an American Boston woman who wrote historical fiction which is very good two of which are set in English Civil War who had close relationships with her female publisher and another writer and never got married and one of her stories is about a girl dressing up as a boy agree to go off to the wall because this child desperately wants to be a boy and there's a lovely line in it's about any sensible girl has always wanted to be a boy is going off everywhere I think she went to Radcliffe and I'd love to find out more about obviously a late 19th century lesbian writer yeah so let's let's move on specifically to your book I think it's it has become apparent in our discussion that this is a a Regency romance type so let me read the cover blurb for spring flowering the the got the cover blurb to work from because at the time we're recording the book hasn't actually come out yet though it will be out as I understand by the time we air so here's the blurb everything changes for Anne gray when her father dies and her closest friend Jane Marie's and moves away and must give up the independence and purpose she found as mistress of her father's parsonage in the country and moved to her uncle and aunts new style house in the growing city of Birmingham the friendship advanced cousins especially the mathematically inclined Louisa is some compensation for freedoms curtailed but soon and must consider two very different proposals either of which will bring yet more change should she returned to her village home as the wife of the new person mr. Morden will become companion to the rather deliciously unsettling widow mrs. King do you follow more georgette Heyer or are you following Jane Austen is it is it more the the modern Regency romance style or I don't know in some ways it's not quite either in that there are no grand happenings in this book it's a very straightforward story in which Anne's father dies and she goes to live with her family in Birmingham and she meets people and she starts to settle in and she starts to develop and it's quite a domestic story so in that sense possibly closer to Jane Austen but you can't be Jane Austen because Jane Austen is writing for people who take for granted the world she's writing about yes yes and very often is actually easy to miss reader just a little example I had a PhD student who wrote about how Jane Austen's work reflects the esteem in which the Navy was held and having read Jenny Oakland I was able to say to her no Austin is writing about the esteem she wants than the Navy to be held in the Navy is actually looked down on in this period partially because it's a vehicle for social mobility or something let's become Admirals that comes up in a number of places I've noticed it does and she's assuming lots of stuff that we can't because I can't assume that for example you know the city of Birmingham I can't assume that you know the button trade of Birmingham oh okay so I had to set the book within a particular three years because if I didn't there's no Theatre why is there no theater why do the Birmingham isn't long but nonconformist city I think the Unitarians are growing so fast and there's the Methodists they're growing superfast that they build three separate chapels on the same site over 20 years the chapel Paul doesn't say beginner and I had to explain things like that the fact that the nonconformist and actually came with things like Music Hall because that's just performance but they aren't okay with theater because that's pretending to be somebody else and that's untruthful yes what in the in the excerpt from your book that I saw on the website it was clear that the nuances of the various religious movements were going to be key to some of the characters yes and that's the kind of thing that a 19th century person would take for granted but I can't assume that a 21st century reader will know anything about I mean I didn't touch to include the Quakers even though it's a group I know most about because 19th century Quakers don't look like anything like 17th or 20th century Quakers and getting into that people wouldn't believe me when I explained that so when they were writing this book were you treating it sort of as an homage to the genre of literature or more as a historical project actually it was a challenge a friend of mine Jane Connell I've known for many many years we were having a discussion about whether you we thought you could write a LESBIAN Regency and she felt it couldn't be done because you couldn't get the hierarchies of the relationships rate and I thought it could be as long as I stayed within certain conventions that were an issue in the period so there's a very good book called in the Georgian household the bassinet book victory it talks about the degree to which industrialization left families very anxious about their daughters uh-huh and a lot of reason why some women stayed unmarried was it because they didn't get to meet men so and the if you look at the Victorians they tend to marry cousins and friends of brothers yet they very much within the family because that way you can make sure your daughter is safe in the world that is increasingly full of strangers realize that I could meet some of Jane's concerns if I moved into a quite tight-knit context so ends possible sutures are either relations Oh business partners and refer further by passing uncle uncle Joshua and I wanted to make that work and that was part of the challenge that I set out to do and the other challenge was that I really wanted some sex ha I think director coming out in there a chest so this isn't a coming out narrative not least because I don't think the Georgians would have understood it that way to start with there were much more sexual beings than the Victorians they are much more comfortable about talking about sex they knew what was underneath women's skirts and in men men's trouser flaps because well 80% of the population is still warned in this period they you know one of the things that that I find interesting in talking to authors of lesbian historic fiction is how many of them don't understand the cyclicity of sexuality and think that you go back to the Victorian era and everybody was uptight and nobody had sex and it must have been like that all the way back in history and the Victorians have big families yes I'm talking mr. big homeless by not having sex but I remember my father talking to me years ago when I very first told him about my sexuality and he told me about the nice two ladies who lived next door and he had one bed but everybody knew but nobody talked about straight sex either so in some ways the most tricky point for homosexuals has been when heterosexuals start talking about sex publicly when everybody's not talking about it it's actually kind of easier so one of my aunts was known as a career girl for example and her literature and everything let me do friends I've no idea what it meant but it was a perfectly acceptable term I still remember the point when when my mother casually mentioned while working on genealogy materials that's like oh you're your gradient salad so she was a lesbian you know and it's like what and this was have any in the early part of the 20th century and the question that most infuriates me is how do you know they were having sex well thanks to Mary Stopes we know that quite a lot of straight couples weren't either as a definition of an emotional relationship that's just yeah but yes there's also this thing that sex may be fairly similar and not change much although even then if in practices are acceptable at different points and desirable at different points but the way people come together and bond has often got much more to do with economics well the first nating thing accounts is all William an orange and his wife Mary because there's some suspicion that both of them were gay and that both of them had partners and there's a fascinating book there let me get this right they're not off as I particularly go for the author of map and Lucia his father was a bishop and was quite well known for the young men he hung out with but his wife and she has six kids it's very clearly a lesbian on my list – word to cover for my history blog it's a wonderful book it's hilarious but it is quite clear that in a a world in which to the Victorians women aren't supposed to be very sexual but for what women are doing together can't matter right now the joshan's think otherwise the Georgians think of women as predatory and their approach is different but it's perfectly plausible in a relatively homo social world for men and women to just be getting on with what they want to do well coming together to produce children yeah we didn't the economic unit and unless you find that utterly revolting which some people do assert those people kind of got on with it and then had their fun on the side yeah this is solely even thinking of it that way just thinking which is their intimate friend with whom a kiss it yeah this is this one one thing that I find fascinating in the looking at the researching of lesbian history and the writing of lesbian historical fiction have the same problem that so many modern people are looking for an exact mirror in the past and instead of like embracing the past for what it was yes and I think any people have always made their lives and the various points that has been interfered with with whatever the current scare was which has been expressed in many different ways I mean some accusations of witchcraft were probably about sexual practices but it's hard to tell what we cannot assume though is that people did not have close emotional and physical relationships because they probably did but are they sort of them that's trickier I gave to my to a more open and clear sexuality in part because they're Georgians not Victorians they've not very not protective they've grown up seeing it when those do things but also because I get really bored with coming out stories oh and I get really bored with the one true love trick thank you right you seek one and it might get a little more complicated I agree with you on coming out stories when one of the reasons that I dug deep into starting my historic research project was because I wanted to write historical lesbian fiction and I didn't want to just write a whole series of coming-out stories I wanted to know what did they know what what community did they have and people do construct community people know each other people recognize each other I said I'm thinking of a sequel and that will involve some of that construction of community great I'm looking forward to that so in addition to this sequel are there any other projects of yours that you'd like to mention for the listeners although the book I haven't finished is a book on the children's historical writer Geoffrey trees they'll be working on that later next year aha so if you're interested in historical fiction he's fascinating because he starts writing in the nineteen thirties he is a genuine communist fellow traveller by which I mean he goes to all the meetings but doesn't join he writes some of the first Jews American phrase coed historical fiction so from 1940 he always has a boy and a girl has an awful lot of cross-dressing girls he tries to write feminist heroines from very very early on before it's too long for male writers that might interest people yeah but there are paths work it's definitely something I think I'm going to pursue it was at the terrible rather a shock when this got picked up I should explain I tend to blog when I'm writing and I do it because people asking me questions about my writing keeps me going and he's actually in NaNoWriMo project and as I was blogging and got to the end of it fear the pickles asked if she couldn't read it and I said yes thinking nothing of it for the next thing I knew found myself with a contractor thinking what anybody will tell you I've been saying for 20 years I'm not a writer it's just I have things to say and the only way I can do those is to write them very firmly I am NOT allowed to say I'm not a writer and I assume that the book will be available through all of the regular outlets Amazon and yeah it's a standard Kindle book I mean if you want a description I would say it's nice slushy bedtime reading it was never intended to be a super exciting thriller or anything like that I think that's the kind of thing I would want to read at night in bed in chocolate so on the off chance that our listeners find you utterly fascinating like I do and want to follow you online do you have a blog do you want to give out your your Twitter handle Facebook my twitter handle which is at fjm spell e double F J a ye M and I will also have a web page going live probably this weekend actually it's already done if it just doesn't have much on it and that's my full name which unfortunately is very difficult to spell but if you click Farrah Mendelsohn and I usually come up yeah I'll put all of the links in the show notes so that people can find easily well thank you again Farrah for joining us on the lesbian

The overwhelming dependence on toxic medications and invasive medical care may seem like the norm in the U.S. But worldwide, studies have found that 65 to 80 percent of the world takes a more holistic approach to their health.
Some worry that holistic medicine is dangerous to their health. Others don't know enough about it to seek the resources they would need to integrate it into their own lives. That's where Naturopathic Medicine comes in.
Whether you're new to natural medicine or looking to start practicing it in your own life, keep reading. We're breaking down what you need to know about Naturopathic Medicine, it's principles, and why it may just be the future of healthcare.
If this is the first time you've ever heard of Naturopathic Medicine, you might be thinking that it's yet another health trend circulating the web. But in fact, Naturopathic Medicine has been around for more than a hundred years.
Over 2,000 years ago, a Greek philosopher by the name of Hippocrates suggested that nature had healing properties. But while natural remedies have been practiced throughout history, the first school educating professionals on how to utilize naturopathic medicine wasn't established in the U.S. until 1902.
Naturopathic Medicine is a primary health care area that focuses on total-body treatment, prevention of illness through risk management, and self-treatment through healthy living.
Modern Naturopathic Medicine is governed by several distinct principles. The following principles are the foundation that all naturopathic treatments are built on.
Our bodies are designed to do anything they can to heal themselves. Naturopathic doctors recognize this. Which is why the focus of their treatment is on removing the obstacles that are preventing a person's body from healing itself.
Because their treatments are designed to aid the body in healing itself, doctors practicing naturopathic medicine treat the underlying causes of an illness or condition, rather than the symptoms.
Whether you have a headache, back pain, or a rash, those are symptoms. They may be uncomfortable, and treating them may provide relief. But this can also cause a dependency on the medicines or treatment used because if you don't fight the cause of these symptoms, they are likely to return again and again.
Many mainstream medications and medical treatments involve harsh side effects. Sometimes the side effects are as bad or worse than the symptoms of the condition that they are designed to treat. Other times, intensive treatments are chosen when a less harmful treatment might have been equally effective.
Naturopathic physicians focus on providing treatment that doesn't further harm the patient. The practice of treating the underlying cause of an illness or condition rather than the symptoms works in conjunction with this principle.
One of the biggest benefits of naturopathic medicine is the creation of a mindset that helps patients live healthier lives. To reach this goal, naturopathic doctors are constantly working to educate their patients on how they can be responsible for their own health.
Naturopathic medicine doesn't end with prescribing a single drug or treatment. Instead, a variety of treatments are implemented to help a patient's entire body get healthy and stay that way. Naturopathic doctors often recommend practices to increase a patient's spiritual well-being as well; a healthy mind makes for a healthy body.
Treating an illness or condition before it lands a patient in the hospital is always a plus. One of the principles of naturopathic medicine is the prevention of illness by assessing each individuals' risk factors for different conditions, and treating them before they become an issue.
Risk assessment is achieved through practices through specialty labs, and include stool testing, food allergy testing, functional assessments, and even genetic testing to measure an individual's chances of developing certain conditions or illnesses.
In the last 10 years alone, there has been a 10 percent increase in Americans taking one prescription medication and a 20 percent increase in Americans taking two or more prescription medications. With the rising cost of prescription drugs and other medical treatments, as well as the dangers of addiction and misuse, this is a dangerous trend.
Natural medicine is a safe, effective alternative. It helps to cut down on dependence on harmful drugs and medical treatments, while also empowering patients to take action to keep their bodies healthy. This holistic approach encourages individuals to take responsibility for their bodies in a world where everything else is dictated by technology, society, and other influences.
If you're ready to try Naturopathic Medicine for yourself, we can help. LIVV in San Diego offers a variety of Concierge Natural Medicine services that can help you take control of your total body health and start living a healthier life today.

How carriers can get right with the gig economy
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
A recent article in the Harvard Business Review highlighted results from a study focused on the emerging state of the gig economy and, in particular, the things which may define success for participants in this evolving definition of economic participation. This is certainly a timely study, coming as it does with only about 18 months remaining before the Millennial generation achieves another significant milestone: becoming more than 50% of the labor force in North America.
This is of course much more than just a study of demographics and economics; it will be increasingly important for insurance carriers to understand this phenomenon in order to be able to develop products and services that will remain relevant in the not too distant future. The idea that the products which were relevant to Baby Boomers and older Gen X-ers given the context of both work and financial options that were in play in the 1980s and 1990s having staying power into the third decade of the 21st-century seems implausible. Many of the products and services younger workers need for themselves and their families will be different, and they will seek capabilities from solution providers that truly understand those needs. The reality that insurance carriers need to recognize is that many of these needs will be driven by technology access and innovation.
As the study highlights, there are four key elements that need to be addressed as we evolve away from some traditional notions of work toward what might be described as vocations built around freelance activities. As articulated by HBR, this includes:
- Purpose: Effectively this is the underlying mission or goal which helps define meaningful work and allows individuals to discern between good gigs and bad ones.
- Routines: While this type of work can be dynamic and flexible, success in this arena requires developing regular routines to create a satisfying, productive, and effective work environment. Leaving the creativity to the work itself can require freeing mind-space from routine or mundane activities that produce low value outcomes.
- Places: While a gig may imply working from anywhere, in reality there are specific types of environments that provide the requisite comfort and focus to allow concentration and creativity to flow.
- People: We are social creatures, and while the work from anywhere, focus on the specifics of a "gig" combo may seem compelling, there's a high potential for loneliness, which potentially limits the very productivity that people crave. If not organized by a traditional employer, other forms of social networking (e.g., associations, trade groups, etc.) may pick up the slack.
These insights, layered on top of the financial priorities reported by Millennials, should help carriers think about the "what" and "where" for engagement. Voluntary benefits and forms of worksite products seem particularly relevant. The technology platforms required to deliver here are notably different than both traditional Group and Individual solutions. Core capabilities and the nature of the user experiences become key because this generation has shown both a fickleness to things that may have made sense to parents and older siblings, and remarkable loyalty to the brands they trust. If Version 1.0 is way off the mark, Version 2.0 may not get much traction. Novarica's research has highlighted the priorities for products and forms of engagement that support this notion.
The user experience can help define the "how" of engagement. While it is in vogue to talk about omni-channel experiences, recent personal interactions have shown that there are still many paper- and fax-based processes in place today. A recent conversation with a national footprint carrier confirmed that all their enrollment today is driven from paper-and-pencil-based efforts that would have been at home in the 1920's. That won't play well with consumers and workers born in the 1980s and '90s. In fact, much of our recent work-related innovation focuses on the importance of "systems of engagement" as a mechanism for disruption and disintermediation.
Hope is not a plan. Getting after this sooner, rather than later, may be a critical success factor as we roll into 2020. Focusing on that may not be optional for carrier IT organizations and the businesses they support.

I am currently reading my way through a long list of science fiction and fantasy titles. (http://www.npr.org/2011/08/07/138938145/science-fiction-and-fantasy-finalists if you are interested in the list).
Not the easiest book to read, but it does provide a comprehensive view of Oscar Wilde and his family. And the author is correct, you don't really understand Oscar the man without the backdrop of his famous family.
Unfortunately, I went into this expecting to adore Mr. O. Wilde, but I came away with my illusions dented, if not shattered. I kept wanting to shake him and yell, "That person doesn't really care about you! Let him go!" or "Pay attention to your money, dammit!" I will probably regain my fondness for this brilliant man, but it was difficult to see how he fooled himself about so many things. After spending time in prison and penury, all for the sake of a man who must have been a narcissist, Oscar still didn't "get it" and continued to think that loving the jerk was the thing to do. I've watched many women do the same thing, and it drives me crazy!
The whole family had money issues, i.e. they wanted to spend it, but they also wanted it to just magically appear with no effort on their part. I have some sympathy for them—I don't want to go to work every day either. The difference is that I suck it up & go, whereas they tried marrying people, reissuing books, or just ignoring their lack of money until the problem was breathing down their necks. Oscar really didn't stand a financial chance, as neither of his parents were dreadfully responsible with cash and he and his brother took that tendency to new lows for the family. To his credit, he endured a personally horrendous tour of North America, all for the money, but squandered that effort by spending the cash almost immediately.
It was also spooky to see how much Oscar's marriage & affairs mirrored his father's life. His father chose women while Oscar chose men, but the parallels beyond that difference were uncanny. We really do absorb patterns and behaviours from our families, don't we?
Considering how small his output was, it is amazing how famous Oscar Wilde continues to be. There is absolutely no doubt that the man was a genius, even if he was a self-destructive one. I will continue to enjoy his many epigrams and his still-relevant & funny plays and try to purge some of my dismay with the realities of his life.

About HammerSky Vineyards
Hammersky's Estate Vineyard sits deep within Paso Robles' Westside on a corner of famed Vineyard Drive. Home to some of the regions finest vineyards and a past history with the Hearst Castle, Hammersky's vineyard contains the "Bordeaux Centric" varietals Merlot and Cabernet along with its 28 year old estate Zinfandel. All fruit from the "Estate" benefits greatly from its distinct terrior that combines the calcareous shale contained in the "Tempelton Gap" soil along with the cooler growing conditions and natural rainfall associated with the area's micro climate. Strict farming practices within the vineyard ensure low yields that deliberately strive to concentrate and intensify fruit complexity and flavor profile. Hammersky's wines benefit greatly from a small lot hand, crafted wine making approach that seeks to highlight the unique qualities of the estate's fruit resulting in complex, structured and flavorful vintages.

So, remember all of that hullabaloo about Motley Crue retiring and never touring again? Remember they signed the "cessation" to end touring, and signed it with their own blood? Well, scratch that! The Crue is BAACK, and they have officially ended all speculation, by literally blowing up their "cessation" to end touring contract, with a hilarious video, showing the contract on an office table, being blown up. The band released a video message, with vocals provided by Machine Gun Kelley, who played Tommy Lee, telling everyone about the demand for the Crue to return, after the success of the Netflix Biopic, "The Dirt." The demand is apparently there, as the band has certainly had an uptick in sales and fan excitement since the release of "The Dirt." Legions of younger fans have certainly responded, and would love to see the band on stage.
To add to the fun and excitement of this announcement, the band will be hitting stadiums next Summer, with 80's co-horts Def Leppard, and Poison. Say what? That's a 1980's spandex laden explosion of crazy right there! While no dates have been announced, the shows are allegedly going to be during the late Spring and Summer. Will there be new music too? Not sure. A glaring topic is the overall health and condition of the Crue. One report detailed that Vince had to lose 40 pounds, and that Tommy had to go into rehab. While those reports are unfounded, there is legitimate concern about their health of some of their members. We will keep you updated on all things Motley Crue related. So….their Baack….you excited?

Day 01: Arrive at Paro. Drive to Thimpu & sightseeing tour
Fly onboard Druk Air to Paro, Bhutan. On a clear day the panoramic views of the Himalaya are sensational, including Everest (if you are flying from Delhi and Kathmandu), but particularly exciting is the approach through the Bhutanese foothills and the landing, including a few steep turns to land at the tiny airstrip of Paro. In Paro you will be received by your Bhutanese guide and transferred to your hotel.
Depending on your arrival time you will visit Rinpung Dzong and Kichu Lhakhang.
Overnight at Hotel.
Day 02: Morning Tiger's Nest Hike and Afternoon Drive to Thimphu – 1 hour
In the morning hike to Taktsang Monastery. Taktsang meaning \"Tiger\'s Nest", is built around a cave in which Guru Rimpoche (also known as Guru Padmasambhava) meditated. The eighth century monastery is perched on a rock overlooking a sheer drop and clings seemingly impossible to a cliff of rock at 9678 feet above the valley floor.
For the local people it is a place of pilgrimage, but for a tourist, a hike up to the viewpoint opposite the monastery is exhausting, thrilling and mystical. It takes almost 2 hours to walk up at an average pace. The legend has it that Guru Rimpoche is said to have flown to the site of the monastery on the back of a tigress from Tibet and meditated in the cave there for three months. Although the main building of the temple was destroyed by fire on April 1998, the hike up to the viewpoint is worthwhile and fulfilling. And Visit Archery Sport.

Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies since I've been young, it was the first of many movies that made Jon Heder become one of my fave actors. This movie is a charming, quirky, and often very funny comedy. Truly one-of-a-kind and completely family friendly!
The description of Napoleon Dynamite, as stated on iTunes, is:
"From the rural town of Preston, Idaho, comes Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder). With a red 'fro, his moon boots, and illegal government ninja moves, he is a new kind of hero. His family consists of fragile brother Kip (Aaron Ruell), who's seeking his soulmate in online chat rooms; Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), who is stuck in his "glory" days of high school football; and Grandma (Sandy Martin), who enjoys going out to the dunes on her quad-runner. Napoleon spends his days drawing magical beasts, working on his computer hacking skills to impress the chicks, and begrudgingly feeding his Grandma's pet llama. When his friend Pedro (Efren Ramirez) decides to run for class president, it is Napoleon to the rescue to help him triumph over adversity."
If anyone is interested in checking out Napoleon Dynamite from Fox Searchlight, click on the image up above.
- Quirky comedy
- Family friendly
- Great cast
This movie is hilarious. If you haven't seen it yet, you seriously need to! It will always be a classic.

I know this post is NOT good for business, A significant portion of our clients are in Rosarito. But we care about Baja, and our ocean so I think it's important we raise awareness wherever needed at whatever cost.
Sewage Surfing?
Surfers: be advised, as it has been reported by Channel 10 News in San Diego, the San Diego Reader and the Surfrider Foundation that between 20 and 40 million gallons per day (you read that right) of raw sewage flow into the ocean at Punta Bandera. Something definitely stinks in Rosarito.
The Surfrider Foundation has drone footage of the Rosarito Sewage
If you surf Baja, please be careful where you go and be mindful of the currents. And avoid the Rosarito Sewage if at all possible.

Security Risk Specialists can provide static or mobile patrols on foot or with a vehicle. Vigilant, and uniformed security guards trained in physical defence can provide a safe environment for streets and houses and will immediately tackle suspicious occurrences themselves. Where required they may provide a meet and greet service escorting clients to their doorstep.
Security Risk Specialists static or mobile patrols service prove to be very effective in preventing crime and can be priced competitively.

Our goal is to ensure that all students and families are supported, but not overwhelmed by our support and guidance during this unprecedented health emergency and school closure. None of this work is for submission to a teacher or for a grade. The use of these resources is completely optional and we encourage parents to preview the learning resources prior to students using them to determine which ones are most appropriate for your family to support the learning of your student(s) at home.
