I am a versatile software engineer with experience throughout the software life cycle, from estimation and requirements through deployment and maintenance. I enjoy providing creative solutions to problems, looking at technological as well as social and organizational solutions.
I am familiar with a number of technologies. I am most comfortable working with Java. I've been exposed to designing software in the object-oriented, procedural, functional, and logic paradigms. I've been exposed, to varying degrees, to C++, C, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, Scheme, and Prolog. I consider myself technology agnostic and can pick up new languages, frameworks, and libraries quickly.
Most of my experience has been in plan-driven environments that must adhere to various aerospace and defense regulatory requirements. Like with programming languages, I see the value in understanding various development methodologies and following an approach that works for the business, the software development team, and the customer. I embrace lean and agile approaches: fast delivery of work to downstream users, learning the product and business as well as technologies, building quality into the process, and maintaining a vision on the system and the environment in which it is used.
I believe in continuous development. I taught myself software development by building TI-89 calculator apps. To further my education, I took night courses at community college while I was still in high school. I turned this into a paid internship immediately following high school. Outside of my coursework at RIT, I was involved in the Society of Software Engineers, where I mentored underclassmen on courses and networked with my peers. I've been a member of the IEEE since 2006 and the ACM since 2008, using their resources to keep up with trends. In April 2011, I was inducted into the Order of the Engineer.
Experience (8) show all
Software Engineer
June 2016 – Current
I develop and test software for the DrugDev TrialNetworks platform.
Senior Software Engineer
UTC Aerospace Systems
July 2011 – June 2016
I developed and tested image processing and system test software for the MS-177 sensor system. The software targeted Solaris (SPARC and x86), Windows XP, and Windows 7 operating systems and was written in C, C++, and Java. I also created and maintained supporting scripts written in Perl, Unix shell scripting languages (primarily bash), and Window batch scripting. I maintained the requirements, design, implementation, and test artifacts.
I assisted the Software Quality Assurance and Integration & Test teams with configuration, testing, and debugging systems prior to being fielded and trained field service representatives on the hardware and software that make up the special test equipment and image processing environment.
I served as the Software Engineering representative to the Engineering Process Group, supporting process improvement and deployment within the context of the UTC Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) operating system, Lean Software Development, AS9100, and CMMI. I participated in continuous improvement activities such as value stream mapping, kaizen events, and root cause analysis. I represented the Westford site on the UTC Aerospace Systems Software Engineering Center of Excellence to develop and share best practices and lessons learned, talent, and tools across the business.
I received the UTC Aerospace Systems STAR Award three times - in January 2014 for working across the Engineering, Quality, and Configuration Management teams to ensure an on-time build and release of deliverable software and associated documentation to meet program schedule and milestones, in January 2014 for participation on the Employee Engagement Team to address concerns of Westford employees identified during routine surveys, and in April 2014 for improving the build process and significantly decreasing build times for a deliverable software application.
Grader/Teacher Assistant
Rochester Institute of Technology, Department of Software Engineering
March 2011 – May 2011
I was the Teacher Assistant and Grader for the Engineering of Software Subsystems (4010-362) course. My primary responsibility was to assist students with work on assignments and projects by answering questions, both during the classroom/practical lab sessions as well as regularly scheduled office hours. I also graded the homework assignments and reviewed the material graded by the course instructor. I also met weekly with the instructors and TAs to align the content and material across each course section.
This course is the introduction to software design (modeling, design patterns, design trade-offs, and component-based software engineering), typically taught to second year Software Engineering undergraduate students.
Mathematics Aide
Air Force Research Laboratory
July 2010 – August 2010
I researched the XML Data Flow Configuration File Format (DFCF) for XML Cross Domain Guarding Solutions and compared it to other technologies, most developed internally, for cross domain guards for their use in workflow management.
I was also responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining installations of the JBoss Application Server and EJBCA Open Source Certificate Authority that were part of the Cross Domain Innovation and Science team's ongoing projects and research efforts.
Software Engineer Co-Op
Goodrich Corporation
June 2009 – November 2009
I maintained software applications and associated documentation (design documents and test procedures) used for the design, development, and testing of the MS-177 sensor system. My emphasis was on a suite of Java applications and supporting Perl, Unix shell, and Windows batch scripts, targeting Windows XP and Solaris (SPARC) environments, to support the command and control of the sensor and image processing components.
I was recognized with the Performance Appreciation Thanks Award for performance above and beyond normal responsibilities.
Goodrich Corporation is now UTC Aerospace Systems.
Technical Intern
ITT Industries
June 2008 – November 2008
I developed administration and content management tools for the Data and Analysis Center for Software (DACS) website, primarily focusing on server-side development using PHP and MySQL in a Linux (CentOS) environment. For some components, I was also responsible for developing user interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Alongside the web development tasks, I was responsible for evaluating potential third party (commercial and open-source) tools to support desired functionality and prototyping how these components could integrate with the existing site features.
I was awarded a Lightning Award for exemplary performance.
The Data and Analysis Center for Software was later consolidated with two other Information Analysis Centers to create the Cyber Security and Information Systems Information Analysis Center (CSIAC).
Mathematics Aide
Air Force Research Laboratory
June 2007 – August 2007
Under the mentorship of the engineers and scientists in the Situation Awareness Branch, I researched a number of complex event processing and event stream processing software systems for integration with current and future projects. I reviewed documentation and used open-source software packages, such as Cayuga and Esper, and demonstration installations of commercial tools, such as Coral8, to provide the staff with evaluation reports to make decisions regarding the capabilities of these software packages and their suitable for use in various projects.
Engineering Aide
Air Force Research Laboratory
June 2006 – July 2006
Under the mentorship of the engineers and scientists in the Multi-Sensor Exploitation Branch, I designed, developed, and tested a Java application to support the upload, storage, management, and retrieval of digital image files obtained from digital cameras.

"The fourpiece-now-threepiece has that typical in-your-basement sound that feels born from night swims, beachside bike rides, and a little too much of that magical elixir."
"...their new song, "Summertime Blues" ... is a slightly heavier, more garage rock than their previous retro bubblegum pop."
"I fucking love this EP... like if Veruca Salt circa American Thighs travelled back in time to 1965, moved to California, popped some pick-me-ups, and cut an album to send it to us, here, in the future."
"The latest from Oakland's Hot Toddies, the five-song "Bottoms Up" EP, is like Cake meets the Raconteurs with more PMS."
"If you're into talented babes, then you're surely ready for The Hot Toddies. These Oakland ladies emulate an easy and breezy pop rock, a comforting beacon among a bevy of less-talented bands who take themselves far too seriously."
"This band has all the intangibles on stage. I've never caught a band before they became amazing until now. Orange tomato, melted-but-not-yet-golden-brown cheese on a pizza, margarita with crushed ice but not yet blended — you get the idea. This next album is the definition of anticipation.""
"This quartet of East Bay babes rocks a kind of indie surf sexy darkness that makes college radio deejays drool and crawl"
"Oakland's Hot Toddies are so retro, smart and sexy, you'd think they were Japanese."
"...Fresh, engaging and altogether delightful noise-pop with odd, punky lyrics about being horny in Seattle and matters of suchlike pith. A rare treat and I commend their album, Smell the Mitten (out on Asian Man), to your palpitating attention."
"The Hot Toddies are doo-wop bubblegum pop revivalists that proof that you can be cool and cute. Their album Smell the Mitten is packed with smart infectious tunes that are like a freak summer breeze in the cold winter."
"The Hot Toddies craft upbeat indie-pop rhythms with a dash of retro-rock and barbershop style harmonies that are almost too catchy. Oh, and they're hot too."
"Oakland girl band The Hot Toddies mix 1950's beach movie pop with soft indie rock, hard whiskey and a dry sense of humor."
"The Hot Toddies are the best thing happening in Oakland, CA. On the band's debut album, Smell The Mitten, they mix everything you love about the Wall of Sound, garage rock, Japanese pop, and power pop into one uniformed sound that is as funny and clever as it is rocking.


text: I upgraded to WordPress 2.0 last night, via Fantastico. I love the new features, but when I added a new link, it failed to appear on my blog. It does appear in the list of links on the administrator side of things, and visibility is set to "yes", but it does not turn up in the list of links when I view the site itself. Is this a known bug in 2.0? -- I couldn't find any reference to it in the support forum.

Rotary raises $70,000 Craft show means big bucks for Lititz
The crowd was strong on Saturday, and as the crowd goes so does the success of the Lititz Rotary Club's biggest fundraiser — The Craft Show.
"The club was very happy with the show this year," said Tom Oehme, event chairman for the Rotarians. "It all worked out very well and the vendors all seemed to have had a great day."
In all, 750 spaces along Broad and Main streets, and in Lititz Springs Park, were rented by 480 crafters.
While attendance numbers have been estimated as high as 40,000 in past years, Oehme said exact numbers are difficult to determine.
"As for the crowd, this is always hard to estimate, and this year would be a very hard one, as the crowd was strong all day long," Oehme explained. "On hot humid days, the crowd will be reasonably strong early on, but once noon hits, it fades fast. This year, thanks to the man upstairs, the weather was outstanding and the crowds stayed strong until around 3:30."
Oehme went on to report that gross income from this year's show is $75,000. After expenses, the Rotary Club will have about $70,000 left to distribute to various community needs.
"This proves Rotary's motto, 'Service Above Self,' one that the Lititz Rotary Club has always upheld to the maximum," Oehme said. "The Lititz Rotary Club is very, very proud of our community, and strives to do its part in helping preserve the beauty and integrity of this place we all call home." More CRAFT SHOW, page A6

Limousin breed dominates led steer competition
Grand Champion Led Steer at the 2013 Royal Brisbane Exhibition has been awarded to 'Billy the Kid', a Limousin Angus owned by Carmen and Lannah Sowden from Kingaroy.
The steer was bred by John and Leny Gaffney from Graneta near Bell and was also awarded the Medium Weight Champion.
The RNA Schools Competition results are also in and the West Moreton Anglican College near Ipswich took the cake this year with the help of Eliza Quinn who won the Champion Junior Parader and Champion Schools Young Judge.
This double win has reportedly only been achieved once before. The West Moreton students showed Limousin and Charolais crossbred steers.
There were 350 students representing 40 schools competing this year from as far north as Atherton and south to the Kings School at Parramatta.

The protagonist of this Kafka classic, K., finds himself in a faraway, snow-covered village with a castle looming above. The inhabitants of the mysterious castle are also the strict officials who govern the village. When K. tries to reach out to the officials, he gets himself into a complex misunderstanding over the contradictory rules and regulations that dictate the daily life of the villagers. The Castle explores the conflicting tension of power between individuals—represented by K.—and the authorities—the officials in the castle.
Editorial Reviews
Kafka never finished The Castle, his final novel. What he did complete is a vision of a relentlessly dystopian realm where people waste lives in service of a faceless, inhuman bureaucracy whose purpose is obscure, if indeed a purpose exists at all. Summoned to an isolated village, the land surveyor K. finds himself shunned by villagers and unable to contact his erstwhile employer, who is concealed within a forbidding castle. Seeking shelter in a hostile community, K. struggles to find some means to contact his employer, stymied at all turns by a society determined to remain subservient to an obstructive system of rules; progress appears to be foredoomed and escape is impossible. Mairowitz, who has previously adapted Kafka for the stage, does a masterful job of translating the work from its original language and formatting it into a comic book. Artist Jaromír 99's dark and dreamlike art, detailed in some places, abstract in others, reflects the hallucinatory world of shadows and illusions K. wanders through. Too many graphic novel adaptations of classic literature just break down the stories into digestible panels; this is a powerful interpretation of Kafka's timeless themes. (Nov.)
Just before his death, in 1924, Franz Kafka sent a note to his friend Max Brod:
"Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me...in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread.... Yours, Franz Kafka"
There's been much debate about this note ever since Brod published it in a postscript to the first edition of The Trial. Did Kafka really intend that Brod destroy his manuscripts? The conclusion, as much as one can be reached, seems to be no, that Kafka asked precisely the one person who had already told him he would not honor his wishes. Brod felt too keenly the value in Kafka's unpublished work; his literary ethic overcame his personal scruples, and he devoted much of his life to publishing the writing Kafka had left behind.
Luckily for us. Unluckily, perhaps, for Kafka scholars, the three novels left behind -- The Trial, Amerika (originally titled The Man Who Disappeared), and The Castle -- were all unfinished. Brod heavily edited the manuscripts, correcting Kafka's idiosyncratic spelling and punctuation, reordering paragraphs and chapters, and "fixing" their endings, so that they would read as if complete.
The problem with Brod's editing almost goes without saying. It is impossible to know what Kafka's actual intentions regarding these texts were; we have only the manuscripts from which to judge. And these editions faced another obstacle: being banned by the Nazis as "harmful and undesirable." Thus Kafka's novels became famous throughout the world largely in their translated forms, particularly the English translations, which present another level of difficulty. The Castle was originally translated into English by Edwin and Willa Muir, whose profoundly Victorian sensibilities provoked them to demodernize the text, smoothing out its jagged edges, straightening its confusions, making its characters more sympathetic, and above all, imbuing the narrator's search with a specifically Christianized spirituality.
All of these arguable mistranslations, along with the questionable editing of Kafka's manuscript, led scholars to cry out for new editions. Even Salman Schocken, Kafka's publisher, was clamoring for critical editions of the novels, claiming that "the Schocken editions are bad." Brod, however, made this new work impossible by refusing scholars access to the manuscripts. Finally, in 1961, Kafka's heirs authorized a German scholar who had discovered the manuscripts' whereabouts to deposit them in Oxford University's Bodleian Library. And since the 1970s, a team of Kafka scholars has been working on German critical editions of all of Kafka's writings.
The Castle is the first of those critical editions to be translated into English. This new edition removes all of Brod's editing, returning the text to the last state in which Kafka appears to have intended it. Reading this edition is an odd experience for anyone acquainted with the texts we have always taken for "Kafka," texts that, despite their thematic oddness, have been softened on the sentence and paragraph levels. Mark Harman's translation restores the text's ominousness and its jaggedness, allowing the narration at moments to appear brisk and disjointed, and at others to become caught within the convoluted diction of the Castle's officials.
The plot of The Castle is deceptively simple: A man named K. arrives in a small village and attempts to gain access to the Castle, but his attempts are repeatedly foiled. The story itself is almost unimportant; what develop increasing importance as the novel progresses are the dialogue among characters and the ways in which the story of K.'s presence in the village is restructured every time it's told -- and the ways in which that story becomes a comment upon the novel itself:
"But," said the chairman, interrupting himself as if he had gone too far in his eagerness to tell the story, or as if it were at least possible that he had gone too far, "does the story bore you?"
"No," said K., "it amuses me."
At that, the chairman said: "I am not telling you this for your amusement."
"It amuses me," said K., "only because it gives me some insight into the ridiculous tangle that may under certain circumstances determine a person's life."
"You still haven't gained any insight," the chairman said gravely, "and so I can go on..."
But the gaining of insight in such a bureaucratically controlled circumstance is all but impossible. The Castle is a tale not only of the terrors of such hierarchical control but also of the village's paranoid response to that bureaucracy; the characters reveal over and over again their powers of -- in fact, their need for -- interpretation. K., on the other hand, exists in this world as a bad reader of a flawed text.
Perhaps most shocking about this edition of The Castle are the three chapters restored to the novel's end. The manuscript -- and this edition of the novel -- literally ends in midsentence, as if Kafka picked up his pen and walked away. Max Brod chose to end the novel at its most decisive moment, as K. loses his fiancée. The three chapters that follow, however, while hardly lending any sense of completion to the novel, are crucial to understanding the relationship of K. to both the village and the Castle authorities.
This new edition, by undoing the attempts of previous editors and translators to "rationalize" the text, reveals Kafka's project as manifest in his very prose. It is puzzling, even maddening at moments, but infinitely rewarding.

Read an Excerpt
It was late evening when K. arrived. The village lay under deep snow. There was no sign of the Castle hill, fog and darkness surrounded it, not even the faintest gleam of light suggested the large Castle. K. stood a long time on the wooden bridge that leads from the main road to the village, gazing upward into the seeming emptiness.
Then he went looking for a night's lodging; at the inn they were still awake; the landlord had no room available, but, extremely surprised and confused by the latecomer, he was willing to let K. sleep on a straw mattress in the taproom, K. agreed to this. A few peasants were still sitting over beer, but he did not want to talk to anyone, got himself a straw mattress from the attic and lay down by the stove. It was warm, the peasants were quiet, he examined them for a moment with tired eyes, then fell asleep.
Yet before long he was awakened. A young man in city clothes, with an actor's face, narrow eyes, thick eyebrows, stood beside him with the landlord. The peasants, too, were still there, a few had turned their chairs around to see and hear better. The young man apologized very politely for having awakened K., introduced himself as the son of the Castle steward and said: "This village is Castle property, anybody residing or spending the night here is effectively residing or spending the night at the Castle. Nobody may do so without permission from the Count. But you have no such permission or at least you haven't shown it yet."
K., who had half-risen and smoothed his hair, lookedat the people from below and said: "What village have I wandered into? So there is a castle here?"
"Why, of course," the young man said slowly, while several peasants here and there shook their heads at K., "the Castle of Count Westwest."
"And one needs permission to spend the night here?" asked K., as though he wanted to persuade himself that he hadn't perhaps heard the previous statements in a dream.
"Permission is needed" was the reply, and this turned into crude mockery at K.'s expense when the young man, stretching out his arm, asked the landlord and the guests: "Or perhaps permission is not needed?"
"Then I must go and get myself permission," said K., yawning and pushing off the blanket, as though he intended to get up.
"Yes, but from whom?" asked the young man.
"From the Count," said K., "there doesn't seem to be any alternative."
"Get permission from the Count, now, at midnight?" cried the young man, stepping back a pace.
"Is that not possible?" K. asked calmly. "Then why did you wake me up?"
The young man now lost his composure, "The manners of a tramp!" he cried. "I demand respect for the Count's authorities. I awakened you to inform you that you must leave the Count's domain at once."
"Enough of this comedy," said K. in a remarkably soft voice as he lay down and pulled up the blanket: "You are going a little too far, young man, and I shall deal with your conduct tomorrow. The landlord and those gentlemen there will be my witnesses, should I even need witnesses. Besides, be advised that I am the land surveyor sent for by the Count. My assistants and the equipment are coming tomorrow by carriage. I didn't want to deprive myself of a long walk through the snow, but unfortunately lost my way a few times, which is why I arrived so late. That it was too late then to report to the Castle is something that was already apparent to me without the benefit of your instructions. That's also the reason why I decided to content myself with these lodgings, where you have been so impoliteto put it mildlyas to disturb me. I have nothing further to add to that statement. Good night, gentlemen." And K. turned toward the stove.
"Land surveyor?" he heard someone asking hesitantly behind his back, and then everyone was silent. But the young man soon regained his composure and said to the landlord, softly enough to suggest concern for K.'s sleep, yet loudly enough to be audible to him: "I shall inquire by telephone." So there was even a telephone in this village inn? They were certainly well equipped. True, certain details took K. by surprise, but on the whole everything was as expected. As it turned out, the telephone hung from the wall almost directly above his head, in his sleepiness he had overlooked it. If the young man had to use the telephone, then even with the best intentions he could not avoid disturbing K.'s sleep, it was simply a matter of deciding whether or not to let him use the telephone, K. decided to allow it. But then of course it no longer made sense to pretend he was asleep, so he turned over on his back again. He watched the peasants gathering timidly and conferring, the arrival of a land surveyor was no trifling matter. The door to the kitchen had opened; filling the doorway was the mighty figure of the landlady, the landlord approached her on tiptoes in order to report to her. Then the telephone conversation began. The steward was asleep, but a substeward, one of the substewards, a Mr. Fritz, was there. The young man, who introduced himself as Schwarzer, said that he had found K., a man in his thirties, rather shabby-looking, sleeping quietly on a straw mattress, with a tiny rucksack for a pillow and a knobby walking stick within reach. Well, he had of course suspected him, and since the landlord had obviously neglected his duty, it was his, Schwarzer's, duty to investigate the matter. K.'s response on being awakened, questioned, and duly threatened with expulsion from the Count's domain had been most ungracious but perhaps not unjustifiably so, as had finally become evident, for he claimed to be a land surveyor summoned by the Count. He was duty-bound to check this claim, if only as a formality, and so Schwarzer was asking Mr. Fritz to inquire at the central office whether a land surveyor of that sort was really expected and to telephone immediately with the answer.
Then there was silence, Fritz made his inquiries over there while everyone here waited for the answer, K. stayed where he was, did not even turn around, seemed completely indifferent, stared into space. With its mixture of malice and caution Schwarzer's story gave him a sense of the quasi-diplomatic training that even lowly people at the Castle such as Schwarzer could draw on so freely. Nor did they show any lack of diligence there, the central office had a night service. And obviously answered very quickly, for Fritz was already on the line again. Yet it seemed to be a brief message, since Schwarzer immediately threw down the receiver in a rage. "Just as I said," he shouted, "no trace of a land surveyor, only a liar and a common tramp, and probably worse still." For a moment K. thought that everybody, Schwarzer, the peasants, the landlord and landlady, was about to jump on him, and he crawled all the way under the blanket to escape at least the first assault, whenhe was slowly stretching his head back outthe telephone rang again, especially loud, it seemed to K. Although it was unlikely that this call also concerned K., everyone froze, and Schwarzer came back to the telephone. After listening to a fairly long explanation, he said softly: "So it's a mistake? This is most unpleasant. The department head himself telephoned? Odd, very odd! And how am I supposed to explain this to the land surveyor?"
K. listened intently. So the Castle had appointed him land surveyor. On one hand, this was unfavorable, for it showed that the Castle had all necessary information about him, had assessed the opposing forces, and was taking up the struggle with a smile. On the other hand, it was favorable, for it proved to his mind that they underestimated him and that he would enjoy greater freedom than he could have hoped for at the beginning. And if they thought they could keep him terrified all the time simply by acknowledging his surveyorshipthough this was certainly a superior move on their partthen they were mistaken, for he felt only a slight shudder, that was all.
After waving aside Schwarzer, who was timidly approaching, K. rejected their insistent pleas that he move into the landlord's room, accepted only a nightcap from the landlord and a wash basin with soap and towel from the landlady, and did not even have to request that the room be cleared, for all rushed to the door, averting their faces so that he wouldn't recognize them tomorrow, then the lamp was extinguished and he finally had some peace. He slept soundly until morning, only briefly disturbed once or twice by scurrying rats.
After breakfast, which the landlord said would be covered by the Castle along with K.'s full board, he wanted to go immediately to the village. Recalling the landlord's conduct yesterday, K. spoke to him only when strictly necessary, but since the landlord kept circling him in a silent plea, K. took pity on him and let him sit down for a moment beside him.
"I still haven't met the Count," said K., "they say he pays good money for good work, is that so? Anybody traveling as far from his wife and child as I am wants to have something to take home with him."
"The gentleman need have no worries in that regard, one doesn't hear any complaints about bad pay here."
"Well," said K., "I'm not at all shy and am quite capable of saying what I think, even to a Count, though it is naturally far better if one can remain on friendly terms with those gentlemen."
The landlord sat opposite K. on the edge of the window seat, not daring to sit more comfortably and keeping his large, anxious brown eyes fixed on K. At first he had thrust himself on K., but now it seemed as if he wanted to run away. Was he afraid of being questioned about the Count? Was he afraid that the "gentleman" whom he saw in K. was unreliable? K. had to distract him. He looked at the clock and said: "Well, my assistants will be here soon, can you put them up?"
"Certainly, sir," he said, "but won't they be staying with you at the Castle?"
Was he parting that easily and that gladly with his guests, especially K., whom he was quite determined to transfer to the Castle?
"That hasn't been settled," said K., "first I must find out what kind of work they have for me. For instance, if I'm to work down here, then it would make more sense for me to live here, too. And I fear that the life up there at the Castle wouldn't appeal to me. I want to be free at all times."
"You don't know the Castle," the landlord said softly.
"Of course," said K, "one shouldn't judge matters too hastily. All I can say about the Castle for now is that they know how to choose the right land surveyor. There might be other advantages there, too." And he stood up in order to release the landlordwho kept anxiously biting his lipsfrom his presence. It certainly wasn't easy to win the confidence of this man.
On the way out, K. observed on the wall a dark portrait in a dark frame. He had already noticed it from his bed, but unable to discern any details from that distance, he had thought that the actual picture had been taken from the frame, and only the dark backing was to be seen. But it was indeed a picture, as now became evident, the half-length portrait of a man around fifty. He held his head so low over his chest that one barely saw his eyes, the drooping seemed to be caused by the high, ponderous forehead and the powerful, crooked nose. His beard, pressed in at the chin owing to the position of his head, jutted out farther below. His left hand was spread out in his thick hair but could no longer support his head. "Who is that," asked K., "the Count?" K. stood before the picture and did not even turn to glance at the landlord. "No," said the landlord, "the steward." "They do have a handsome steward at the Castle, that's for sure," said K., "what a pity his son turned out so badly." "No," said the landlord, drawing K. down and whispering in his ear, "Schwarzer exaggerated yesterday, his father is only a substeward, and one of the lowest at that." Just then the landlord seemed like a child to K. "The rascal," said K., laughing, but the landlord said without laughing: "Even his father is powerful." "Come on!" said K., "you consider everyone powerful. Me too, perhaps?" "No," he said, timidly but gravely, "I do not consider you powerful." "Well, you're very observant, then," said K., "for, speaking in confidence now, I'm really not powerful at all. And so I probably have no less respect for those with power than you do, only I'm not as honest as you are and don't always care to admit it." K. tapped the landlord on the cheek in order to comfort him and to gain his affection. And now he even gave a little smile. He was really a boy with his soft, almost beardless face. How had he come by his stout, older wife, whom one could see through a small window, bustling about with her elbows sticking out? Yet K. did not want to question him any further and risk chasing away the smile he had finally elicited, so he merely signaled to him to open the door and stepped out into the beautiful winter morning.
Now he saw the Castle above, sharply outlined in the clear air and made even sharper by the snow, which traced each shape and lay everywhere in a thin layer. Besides, there seemed to be a great deal less snow up on the hill than here in the village, where it was no less difficult for K. to make headway than it had been yesterday on the main road. Here the snow rose to the cottage windows only to weigh down on the low roofs, whereas on the hill everything soared up, free and light, or at least seemed to from here.
On the whole the Castle, as it appeared from this distance, corresponded to K.'s expectations. It was neither an old knight's fortress nor a magnificent new edifice, but a large complex, made up of a few two-story buildings and many lower, tightly packed ones; had one not known that this was a castle, one could have taken it for a small town. K. saw only one tower, whether it belonged to a dwelling or a church was impossible to tell. Swarms of crows circled round it.

The lusty guys on this site will keep you entranced with stroke after stroke. These inexperienced Asians take raw hardcore fucking to another level. Beautiful, sinewy Asian hunks get into raunchy bareback fucking scenes in bedrooms, on beaches and even at the doctor. Asses are filled and drilled with milk, fingers, tongues and thick, hard cocks.Full review

The star of this gay porn site is a hairy stud in good shape who loves getting naked. This bearded hunk loves to jerk off and use sex toys until he spews his spunk on camera, but he also enjoys hooking up with his boyfriend and/or other guys, often captured in intense POV. It's hot, but what's not is that the videos are streaming-only and updates are slow.Full review
Twinks and jocks are what you'll see on this gay porn site with mostly HD and Full HD scenes sampled from Hammer Entertainment DVDs. There's a mix of masturbation (including some flexible studs who manage auto-fellatio) and bareback sex. Updates seem to be quite frequent and the site is a good size. You also get loads of bonuses to further sweeten the pot.Full review
- $29.95/30 days
Tons of handsome and hung hunks are shown in the prime of their sexual lives. They jerk off, give head and enjoy butt sex. Their cute faces and playful attitudes make them seem sweet, but soon hormones take over, turning them into mean, lean sex machines. It's too bad that the videos aren't higher in quality and that they're just rotating content now.Full review
- $29.95/30 days
Even the straightest man on earth has probably imagined sex with a muscleman. After all, when ogling a guy with a godlike body it'd be odd not to be turned on at least a little bit, right? Actually, some of the guys here even have sex. Others just masturbate. Too bad none of these sexy movies can be downloaded and only some of them stream in high-definition.Full review
Whoever says that Doms are mean never saw this site. After all, they let their slaves cum at the end. Ok, so "let" may be too strong of a word. What actually happens is that they're ordered to cum immediately after being subjected to three kinds of scenarios. This includes being tied up, flogged and hosed down. But the site isn't updating consistently.Full review
- $39.99/30 days
Looking for some sweet Latino heat? If so, you should check out the hot gay guys featured on this site. Some of the dudes jerk themselves off and others fuck other horny men. The performers look good and so do the movies they appear in. Unfortunately, the videos are nonexclusive for the most part and new ones don't get posted all that often these days.Full review
Lots of us fantasize about straight guys, especially those with a manly profession. Well, here you'll see exactly that with hunks getting naked and spewing their spunk. Soldiers and marines masturbate for the camera, but some are willing to go even further. See them go the distance in great-quality videos, all for a low price. Updates stopped, though.Full review
- $14.95/30 days
Some of the daddies in this online community are quite fit, but being amateurs, many have average physiques or a few extra pounds. There's a lot of white and gray hair as well as thinning coverage and full-on baldness. You'll see big dicks and ones not as impressive in user-submitted gay porn that's often good in quality. You can also hook up with locals.Full review
- Limited Trial: $5.00/7 days
The Czech Republic seems to churn out some amazing talent. It's as if everyone there is a natural-born pornstar. However, here's your chance to see dudes before they're famous who are willing to do anything to get their dick in the biz. That means they'll even go gay-for-pay. You get two gay bonus sites and high-quality videos, but they aren't updating.Full review
- $29.95/30 days
If you enjoy seeing hunky male celebrities when you go to the movies or watch TV, you'll probably enjoy yourself while browsing this site. It brings you nothing but clips featuring famous guys. The men can be seen wearing very little, kissing other dudes, showing off their asses and sometimes having some gay sex and it is presented in Full HD. Check it out.Full review
- $19.95/30 days
This hardcore site gives you a mix of ebony and interracial gay sex, all bareback. The encounters are intense whether they're one-on-one hookups, threesomes or foursomes. We're talking lots of rough fucking, raunchy double-anal penetration and nasty felching. The streaming vids look good and the collection is exclusive. However, the site is kind of small.Full review
- $24.95/30 days
Two lovers in their prime, what more could you ask for? Here you'll see hunky couples making sweet love. These lean jocks suck each other's cocks and after the blowjob and some rimming foreplay, the anal sex gets underway. You'll hear groaning and moaning as they work their way through hot positions. However, with so little content it really isn't worth it.Full review
This website provides you with videos in which angry guys get even with the men who wronged them in all sorts of kinky ways. You might see a dude jizz on another guy's toothbrush or going backdoor on some man behind his boyfriend's back. The vids are fun and high in quality, but there are so few of them that the website just isn't worth joining at the moment.Full review
Inexperienced gay guys have their first time fucking and sucking on tape. They haven't yet appeared on camera and they don't have a history of getting down with other guys, so every hardcore cock-sucking, ass-plunging scene is new. There are just under 100 scenes and the collection is rotating rather than updating. The vids are HD at least, which is nice.Full review
- Limited Trial: $1.95/3 days
It's true that bigger isn't always better unless you're talking about throbbing dicks. Then you want the largest rod you can find just like these gay hunks. They've been enjoying the meat sticks they've been banging just fine, but now they're ready for a larger portion. The vids are mostly HD but the collection is pretty dated though and not really worth it.Full review
- Limited Trial: $1.95/3 days
Twinks are the focus of this collection. You'll see smooth-skinned hotties hailing mostly from the Czech Republic, but some come from other parts of Europe. Not all of them are super-slim, because you'll also see some hot jocks who have more muscular builds. Action includes masturbation, blowjobs and hardcore gay sex among hundreds of vids. Check it out.Full review
- $24.00/30 days
Aaron is a slender cutie whose hard little body has very little hair. He and his hot friends can be seen having naughty fun on his website. They masturbate, give handjobs, suck dick and even have some bareback sex. The action unfolds in great-quality videos. There aren't that many of them, but there are enough to make giving the site a quick peek worthwhile.Full review
- Trial: $12.95/3 days
Are you looking for porn that's more erotic than explicit? If so, this website might be of some interest to you. It provides you with videos and photos that are artsy and very tasteful. The flicks don't always look amazing, but the pictures do. Updates come often and everything you get is completely exclusive, so you should think about joining the website.Full review
- $19.95/31 days
Even though you can't download the videos, this great-looking content is arguably worth it as you see straights lowering their inhibitions, along with their pants and underwear, to show us throbbing cocks and bare bottoms. They don't merely masturbate, but also accept handjobs, blowjobs and rimjobs from a chubby gay seducer. Some even have butt sex on camera.Full review
- $24.95/30 days
This collection has amateur hunks who spew their spunk in solo and hardcore gay scenes. Some dudes are bi or even have a straight-guy aura, but that's not really the focus of the action here. It's more about the men doing things in front of the camera for the first time. The videos have impressive stats, but they don't always look that outstanding on screen.Full review
- $29.95/30 days
Hot jocks come in all shapes and sizes, even if they're always toned and firm. Some are tall and beefy, while others are shorter with leaner muscles. You'll also notice that despite many of these studs being fresh-faced newcomers, some are more experienced. Just keep in mind that the porn isn't always current and the hundreds of videos aren't downloadable.Full review

This site isn't really for you if you're looking for decorating tips. The only tips here are either covered in foreskin or circumcised, because this collection is dedicated to dick pics of a sort. The photos actually show the full bodies of naked men along with rooms in their homes that tend to be messy or oddly decorated. There are also some gay videos.Full review
- $14.95/30 days
Whether you like watching cross dressers pose and play with their hard cocks, or get fucked by other men or sexy trannies, this site has what you're looking for (but you'll also find some Femdom sissy content). You get some good-quality videos and high-res photo sets, but it looks like updates might have come to an end. You do get bonus sites at least.Full review
- $29.95/30 days
The gay action on this mostly nonexclusive site is as varied as the studs are, even if the collection isn't huge. Here you can watch horny studs getting into threesomes, two guys discovering each other's hard bodies and even harder cocks, and gay anal through a gloryhole. You get mostly good-quality vis and the many gay bonus sites in the network add value.Full review
Feel like watching horny black guys beat off and fuck other men? If so, this site might be for you. They're possibly rotating content and only some of it is exclusive, but this is still a decent gay site overall and it provides you with a good number of videos that tend to be easy on the eyes. Several gay bonus sites are included with your membership.Full review
You'll find gay hardcore mixed with mild domination as diverse dudes face and butt fuck on this high-quality site. You'll see one-on-one gay sex and all-male threesomes along with bondage and punishment featuring twinks, jocks, bears and daddies as well as Latinos, Asians, white and black studs. The collection is worthwhile, even if it's mostly nonexclusive.Full review
This site shows you how hot auto-fellatio can be, but only a small number of the guys can actually accomplish it. The rest do things like masturbate into their own mouths or give themselves sticky facials. It's been a long time since the site last updated, but it's left us with exclusive movies that are all high in quality. And you get gay bonus sites, too.Full review
Jocks, twinks, bear and DILFs fill this diverse collection of solo and hardcore porn that isn't, in fact, limited to guys giving head to other guys. There's anal sex and BDSM, too. The content is exclusive and the videos are technically good in quality, but they can't be downloaded and some don't look so great. It's also not clear how often they're updating.Full review
- $9.95/30 days
- Save 67%
This site gives you 3D images to see hunky illustrations up close. Some of its computer-generated models have smooth skin, while others sport body hair - quite a few of these fantasy figures have tribal tattoos. Their big toon tools will make you drool, but not for long since the library is tiny and it's only rotating its content. The price is high too.Full review
- Limited Trial: $1.01/3 days
Lots of guys look to older men to show them the ropes. After all, if a dude is old enough to be your dad then he probably knows a thing or two about how to have great sex. It might also be a nubile fantasy to be punished by a daddy for being naughty. The problem with the site, though, is that there isn't a lot of content and they haven't updated in months.Full review
- $24.95/30 days
This site features amateurs who look like everyday guys. You can mostly expect to see the men posing nude and masturbating, but some of them do suck dick and fuck. The website is barely updating these days, though it still offers a lot. The number of movies on the site isn't too impressive, but there are hundreds of exclusive photo sets for you to enjoy.Full review
- $35.00/30 days
These Latinos have handsome faces and beautiful hard bodies, not to mention thick uncut dicks. You'll see them standing shirtless wearing nothing but pants and then you'll see growing wet spots that end up being puddles at their feet. You'll also see them spraying lots of liquid gold all over themselves and even into their open mouth, as well as masturbating.Full review
- Trial: $15.00/10 days
Turk Melrose is a delight with his nubile frame, fat cock and hot butt. On his site, he can be seen barebacking with the hunk who is his lover in real life. He is also shown sucking and screwing in some intense group-sex videos. Unfortunately, there aren't all that many vids to be found on the website and it's been a long time since the last one was posted.Full review
Ever wondered what goes on in the dorm rooms of the nation's most prestigious boarding schools? This good-quality website should at least partially satisfy your curiosity. You'll find schoolboys in solo and hardcore gay action. These fresh-faced twinks are very handsome and hung, so despite a lack of updates, the decent amount of content here is worth seeing.Full review
You don't have to be a Latino in order to be a member of this kinky club, unless of course you're one of the sexy performers. It's nothing but horny Latinos all the time and they bring you hot content starring them with other Latin guys in some muy caliente gay hardcore action. There isn't a ton of content, but there is a decent amount and it is good-quality.Full review
Watch a gay blind date from the pick-up to the messy cumshot finish. Do they share a soda or does one get the other to give a messy blowjob until he blows his spunky load? The main problems are that they don't offer all that much content and their simply rotating it all, so there's nothing new coming. There's also a pesky monthly download limit of 15 videos.Full review
- Limited Trial: $1.95/3 days
This website gives you scenes in which Brazilian hunks fuck other guys. None of the men wear condoms while they screw, so you get some great bareback action. Unfortunately, the site is a little on the small side and it hasn't posted any new movies in a while now, so while you might enjoy the website for a time, you won't stick with it for very long at all.Full review
Oh the muscles on these guys! Watch abs flex and ripple as guys caress themselves, wrestle, work out and struggle against bonds. There's a good amount of variety and the men will make you drool. If you've got a thing for muscled hunks, you won't be disappointed. However, you will be disappointed with the lack of a download option and no usability features.Full review
- $29.95/30 days
Do you like spicy exotic dishes? Then you should sample the "Lad Thai" offered on this site. You won't find a limp noodle among these studs as they go toe to toe in solo and horny hardcore vids. Their smooth skin, slender bods and rigid rods are a pure delight to savor. You'll wish that you could swallow their creamy penis sauce, so not a single drop is lost.Full review

He definitely went above and beyond the duties that we requested.
He produced videos with little to no direction and was still able to send us an end product that was beyond our imagination.

Raphael has an eye for detail and is passionate about creative video shots! He was very easy to work with and welcomed any ideas we had. I was very impressed with the quantity and quality of equipment he brought to the shoot.

Having stayed in Marrakech a few times, Riad Dar107 is where I'll return. A great location at just a few minutes from the Place, and Abdel and his staff were amazingly hospitable and attentive to our every need. Abdel is truly a wonderful host - including walking my daughter and I to the Place the first time we went out, to be sure we knew where to go. The rooms are very clean, and everything works well. The rooftop terrace is great for eating, hanging out or sunbathing, and ther's a cute little bathing pool. I left my daughter for a couple of days and Abdel arranged for a "safe" henna appointment in the riad for her - not like the black henna on the Place! Truly great value for the price!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Abdelouahid, and Samira offer to share with you the relaxed lifestyle of the Red City of Marrakech at the heart of an old house whose renovation offers great ambiance and comfort: air conditioning, heating soil fireplace, pool, hammam, massage room, etc.All spaces in this Riad in Marrakech have been arranged for you to enjoy traditional Moroccan architecture: Reading lounge in the library, fireplace overlooking the patio, sun terrace to have breakfast or simply sunbath after a refreshing dip. You can also choose to indulge in the temptation of well-being in Eastern traditional treatments in the Moroccan hammam, massage with argan oil, manicure / pedicure, henna tattoos … ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Agoda and Priceline so you can book your Riad 107 reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.
