I apologize for not having contributed much to Times and Seasons lately, but since last year I have chosen to concentrate on our Dutch-speaking members and friends. So much is available in English, so little in many other languages. Our site Mormoneninfo.be is geared to information that can enrich the understanding of Mormonism. This year the site is mainly devoted to the Book of Mormon curriculum. Wherever possible it integrates intellectual, cultural and artistic contributions from the Low Countries (the Netherlands and Flanders).Even if you don't read Dutch, you're welcome to browse through one of the lessons under "Evangelieleer 2016", like this one with 16th and 17th century paintings of old men (to celebrate patriarchal record keepers) or this one on language and Bible history.Enjoy the art and like us on Facebook if you feel so! But in particular: thanks for passing this information to Dutch-speaking people, including former missionaries from Holland and from Dutch-speaking Belgium.

I am a native of Belgium - the Flemish side. Born in 1946, I grew up in Antwerp. I obtained my B.A. from the Antwerp Jesuit University, my M.A. from Ghent University - both degrees in Romance languages. As a teacher of French and history I worked a few years in Central Africa for the Belgian Cooperation. Next I went to BYU where I finished a PhD in comparative literature. From 1974 on I spent most of my academic career at the University of Antwerp, as professor of applied linguistics and language education. In 1999 the department of French and Italian at BYU asked me to join their ranks, but I also retained an affiliation with Antwerp. I retired from BYU in 2011. I am a convert to the Church and have a strong testimony of the Restoration. So does my wife, who is also from Antwerp. We have one daughter, Ellen, born in 1988. We're a happy little Flemish family, traveling back and forth between our two homes, in Antwerp and in Provo. I enjoy writing about Church life -- "Simply Mormonism" -- which explains the trend in most of my posts.
International? Peripheries? Global? In search of a name
What is an adequate label for the areas outside of the so-called "Church's center"? If it pertains to non-US countries, "international" is commonly used, but semantically it is flawed because the United States itself belongs to the circle of all nations. "Foreign" and "alien" sound non-inclusive for a church that emphasizes worldwide unity and belonging among its members. As a neutral geographical term, "abroad" fails if one wants to include in the discussion ethnic minorities within the United States. Those have become particularly noteworthy as the Church again allows Mormon wards with a foreign ethnic or lingual identity on American soil, such as Cambodian, Korean, or Russian.[1] Within the United States, thousands of immigrant Mormons, or converted after immigration, represent various cultures, languages, and countries. For decades the Church has been struggling to find optimal ways to accommodate their needs. Recognized American racial and ethnic groups, such as American Indian and African American, form similar groups for specific study. Even…
Internationalizing Mormon Leadership: The Normal Pace
In the Salt Lake Tribune of October 5, Jana Riess regrets that the top leadership of the Mormon church is all-white and overwhelmingly American, and that the recent apostolic callings missed the chance to reflect the church's international diversity. Others have expressed the same disappointment. I can appreciate their concern, but I wonder how many non-American Mormons would agree. Are we certain that an apostle from Brazil or Kenya would be preferred by most Mormons in 130 other countries above a seasoned leader from Utah? Or did some of those disappointed Americans perhaps react from a "white guilt / white savior complex" by coming to the rescue of the allegedly discriminated-against international membership? Besides, do we know how many non-Americans may have been considered to fill the vacant apostle positions, but none was found adequate yet at this time? Perhaps the one closest to being called was finally considered too rigid? Then many would probably be grateful that Elder Rasband…
The Perversity of Orthodoxy
I could have called this post "Same-sex marriage: The Belgian perspective," but it includes more. "The perversity of orthodoxy" – that's how one of the members in our Belgian ward identified the broader issues which triggered this post. He called me on Sunday afternoon, upset by a Sacrament meeting talk that same morning and in need to vent frustration. Perhaps "perversity" was too strong a word. Maybe "perfidy"? Probably too weighty a word, too. At least "the insensitivity of some who defend orthodoxy" or "the indelicacy of some church statements in the US in relation to the international church"? Difficult choice. I just wanted to convey the intensity of his reaction, hence the title of this post. There had been two talks that morning, and the contrast was telling. Sarah Sarah, around thirty, had given the first talk. A little nervous, soft-spoken, she had her talk all written out, the result of days, perhaps weeks, of toiling on it. Her…
Understanding Anger against Mormon Missionaries
We sometimes hear stories about Mormon missionaries who are confronted with angry people. We praise the missionaries for suffering for Christ like the apostles of old. We condemn the iniquity of those who loathe the messengers of the Lord. I am going to take up some perspectives of those angry people—because of my mother and others I've known over the years. And thousands I do not know. In other churches, missiology experts have been studying at length this topic of tensions, conflicts, and social damage resulting from Western missionizing, including the ethical issue of intra-Christian proselytism. We Mormons seem to ignore it or do not want to be confronted with it. But with the surge in our missionary numbers and the insistence to "hasten the work", the topic is acute. But first, my mother. A former cloister novice who ultimately chose marriage and motherhood, she raised me, her only son, with a deep love for education, languages, and Catholic-faith commitment.…
Martha's Sacrament
Times & Seasons used to post, from time to time, something "From the archives". So is this one. *** Martha was one of the older sisters in our branch. We counted a scant dozen of them, singles and widows, making more than half of the congregation and being its very backbone. When I got to know her, Martha was in her sixties. Huge by nature and strong from her lifelong labors as a market woman, she lived in a modest but sunny apartment, four flights high. Rent and utilities took most of her tiny pension, but she managed. Every Sunday the happy woman rode to church on her big black bicycle, rain or shine. She entered our old rowhouse as if it were a palace, beaming faith and friendship. In the living room, meaning our chapel, she gave talks and testimonies with a stentorian voice, developed during her years on the market place, praising Joseph Smith and the Book of…
Utah same-sex marriage and the international church
Media around the world have been reporting the developments in Utah in relation to same-sex marriage. Nearly always the articles and broadcasts also mention the Mormon Church as the conservative force that tries to prevent same-sex marriage. What could be the effect of such reporting on the image of the Mormon Church worldwide? As far as can be known, what do church members around the world think about same-sex marriage? How will the Church deal with same-sex couples who are legally married in a growing number of countries? This (long) post tries to suggest answers to these three questions. But first, the broader context. The broader context: media and religion The news about Utah runs parallel with similar news about other countries and states. Various countries are currently considering the legalization of same-sex marriage. Meanwhile same-sex marriage has already been approved in a fair number of countries, most of which belong to developed nations, such as Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, the Netherlands,…
International Day of the Girl
Today is the International Day of the Girl. Yesterday, the Deseret News devoted an article to it but 24 hours later, no one had yet commented. Another article appeared today, but as of now, no comments yet. Perhaps there is no need to voice support for something everyone agrees on? Still, worldwide, tens of thousands of children have been conducting activities to support education for girls, following the lead of Malala Yousafzai. Anything to report from Utah? Other themes of the Day deal with forced girl marriages and teen pregnancies due to poverty and lack of sexual education. In my home country, Belgium, teen pregnancy is very rare. So, for the campaign a short film was made about a 14-year old pregnant girl who comes to a Belgian school. I thought it would be interesting to share it on this International Day of the Girl.
The Mormon moment abroad: thank you, Jim Dabakis.
Michael Otterson advised the press: to understand Mormonism, go to the source and allow Mormons to define themselves. But what if these Mormons are survivalist Joel Skousen, Tea Party painter Jon McNaughton, or Tammy, an anti-government gun-toting rodeo queen from Overton, Nevada? All three were lengthily interviewed on French national radio.
The blood of Israel in Europe
Primitive church
Times & Seasons used to post, from time to time, something "From the archives". I revisited a post I published eight years ago, updated a few items, and thought it would still be worthwhile to read. My question to you: what are your memories of the "Primitive church", if you ever had the privilege of experiencing it?
Informing members timely – a PA function?
Last week a Belgian church member, with a long record of outstanding leadership service in the Church, put a link on his Facebook page. The link went to an article in a local newspaper, titled "Homosexuality kills more than smoking" (translated), reporting on the recent anti-gay outburst of Jim Wallace, head of the Australian Christian Lobby. With a short note next to the link, our Belgian brother indicated his approval of Wallace's views. His Facebook has numerous church members and outsiders as friends.
Eugene came from the Congo and accepted the gospel while studying in Belgium. After having obtained a doctorate in economics of developing nations, he returned to Africa. During the years with us, Eugene fulfilled many callings, willingly responding to the recurrent changes in positions our branch and district demanded in the relentless cycle of convert baptisms and inactivation.
Do not convert exchange students
When I was counselor in the Belgium-Netherlands mission presidency, the mission president asked me one day to handle the following. He had received a letter from a Utah family informing him that they had hosted a Belgian student as part of a high school exchange program. The family was "super excited" to tell the mission president that they had succeeded in converting the girl to the church. She had been baptized!
EFY, hair, and culture
Sacrifice and retention: An unsolvable dilemma?
In Lectures on Faith, Joseph Smith taught that "a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has the power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation" (Lecture 6, verse 7). The Church's dramatic history demonstrates that this call to sacrifice was not mere rhetoric. Extolling the endurance of the pioneers is part of Mormon tradition. In talks and lessons members are repeatedly reminded of commandments and duties.
Mormons without the Mormon Church
In his recent conference address, Elder Ballard emphasized that we must avoid the name "Mormon Church" and instead use as much as possible the official, full name of the Church. His message stems from two concerns: (1) the missing association with the name "Jesus Christ", hence no immediate recognition of the Church as Christian. (2) the potential confusion with other groups, in particular polygamist groups, that are referred to as "Mormon."
Thou-thee-thy from other angles
In General Conference of April 2009, Elder Russell M. Nelson reminded us:
Catholic parish registers belong to humanity
According to various news outlets the Catholic Church has ordered its dioceses to not allow Mormons access to parish registers any more. For decades, our Church has copied and preserved millions of pages of parish registers around the world, as part of the injunction to seek out ancestors and perform ordinances in their behalf. There are probably still millions of pages out there, uncopied.
Gospel culture and the others
How do 'we' as Mormons learn to view 'others'? We can try to answer this question from the angle of various approaches to the concept of "gospel culture".
Mormon identity and culture
The following is part of a larger study on the concept of "gospel culture", which I have been working on. In a previous post I presented the question "How American is the Church?", which yielded very interesting comments. For the present post I excerpted some further parts on culture and Mormon identity, with various questions to the reader.
How American is the Church?
(The following is an excerpt from a larger study on the concept of "gospel culture", which I have been working on. I hope that comments will help me correct and refine this aspect on Americanness). For the past few decades, in their efforts at internationalization, church leaders have stressed that this is "not an American Church", but an international, universal Church.
The mission president called. Would I, as his counselor, conduct a baptismal interview? A case he wouldn't have the zone leaders handle, a woman with a troubled past. Most likely involving a chastity issue.
Watching conference
Stake conference in the mission field. Still the mission field, for although we are a stake, there is no stake center, only a chapel in some of the main cities, and rented rowhouses elsewhere. The stake covers some 10,000 square miles. Therefore we gather in this huge, sparsely lit movie theatre—theatre number 14 in a massive cinema complex close to the highway.
Little street vendor
She is a little street vendor who put up shop next to the entrance of the church with the long name.

Sunday – the latest book by Craig Harline
I'll start this book review with two anecdotes of my own, from a Mormon ward in Belgium. Last Sunday, in church, the bishop's sister told us that her little boys were so excited because they were looking forward to the swimming party in the afternoon. The bishop's own family and the families of his siblings were going to enjoy a pleasurable family Sunday afternoon: togetherness, games, swimming, fun and food, and it would probably last until late in the evening.
Martha's funeral
When Martha died, I had to arrange the funeral. "A joyful exit, she had asked, and have the children sing."
Church whisperers
The buzz pervades the chapel. The whispers assemble to an insistent setting escorting the speaker's voice over the sound system. The multiple murmurs from all corners of the audience spawn a hum that any outsider would consider disturbing. But we are used to it – our own relentless liturgical sound.

The Horse Forum
- Barrel Racing
- - Tips for starting a horse on barrels?
Tips for starting a horse on barrels? I'm seriously thinking about doing barrels with my mare in the future. There's not much other competitions in the area she can compete in except timed events, and I'm not much into roping right now. So I want to start her on barrels and poles. I do have a trainer (my BO) helping me out some so I'm not totally going at this alone. But I'd love to practice barrels by myself when I get the chance. I have done barrels with her before, but mostly for fun. I want to learn how to really do it correctly so I can get the best time and make it easy and enjoyable for her. Any info on what to do with my seat, hands, when to make the turns (important in my case, I don't judge turns well), etc would be more then appreciated. I'm going to do it at the walk about a hundred or more times before I even think of 'racking' or cantering them. One more question. Should I pattern her? My BO says you should never pattern a horse because you want them to not expect anything and always look to the rider on what to do. Although this makes sense, I've heard a lot of pros saying it's good to pattern a horse so it really knows its job. |
In my opinion its a horse by horse basis on how to train them... ya I feel its okay to pattern a horse. It makes your time faster when your horse knows what to expect and it makes it easier on you and your horse because he/she can anticipate your commands. Then again you want to have some variety. Don't just do straight barrel patterns all the time. Try doing all kinds of differant activities with the barrels. Too much I see these girls with their crazy horses because all they do is run barrels in the arena so heir horses come to expect that they are gonna have to run as soon as they are in there. You need to make sure your horse is well rounded and disciplined. Is your horse trained to neck rein? That's one of the most iortant things in my opinion. A soft mouth and neck reining make it easier on the turn, shaving seconds off your time. Keep your hands low on her neck and keep just a little slack in the reins so she has free movement in her head and neck to bend around the barrels. There's this spot around the barrel called the "pocket" that you'll learn to recognize once you and your mare get more comfortable at it. Little tip. Go at an amgle and make sure her shoulder is past and then begin the turn. You will end up closer around the barrel and get a faster time. With your seat, sit slightly forward when you are running. When you start the turn really sit on your pockets and put your weight in the stirrup closest to the barrel. Don't be shy to grab the saddle horn to help keep you centered in the saddle. It will also help to pull you back up off their back over their withers so they can have a faster, easier takeoff aournd the barrels and on the straight aways. I find that stretching my horse out both on the ground and in the saddle beforehand helps keep them limbered and ready for the race. Sorry if I'm rambling I just love barel racing and want people to train their horses right so they can do more than race their horse. If you have questions or want to rag on me gust send me a message |
You actually don't want to neck rein a horse around barrels. Should be direct reining. You need a horse soft and responsive to direct rein, indirect rein, and legs, with good bend and flex, and good lateral movement, very good whoa, soft, respectful... Yes, do shake it up to keep your horse fresh. Patterning is good if you want to place high, but not excessively, but you may get second-guessing which you then have to correct. If you've got the time and money to haul to a professional clinic, that may not be a bad idea. Or at least buy some videos--they'll actually help. There's far more info than can be typed out in a web forum. |
Loads of slow work and switch it up. Do patterns where you can work on similar aspects but not the actual pattern. Also I agree 100% with bubba more direct/indirect rein and get to where you can work both shoulders hips and rib cage all seperately. A trainer helps looooads with this :] Good luck |
Maybe I'm biased on the neck reining ... but I agree with them if you can find a good trainer do...there are sooo many ways you could be training your horse wrong. Or maybe not different horses react different ways |
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I definitely plan on training in neck reining and direct reining and kinda see what works for us. I haven't taken lessons in a long time, maybe this can be my excuse for starting them back up again. |
Since most of what I was going to say has been covered and I don't have time to type a long post right now (In school) I'll tell you my one, golden rule: Make all circles perfect. Especially on your slow work. Everything slow carries over to fast. When you are just doing some slow stuff make everything perfect. Don't worry about being tight and fast right away. Walk the barrel pattern, keeping the barrel behind your leg and to your horses hip when you ar doing so. Shoulder up, inside leg up under him. Position saves your life, and if you let your circles and position fall when you are going slow, you are going to cause fatal error in your runs. |

Create a new filter with is:unread in the Has the words field, then tell Gmail to Mark as read all matching messages. Finally, tick the box next to Also apply filter to conversations below and create the filter. The filter will mark all your unread items as read. If you just want to clear out unread items in a specific label, add something like label:Followup to the Has the words box with is:unread. Simple, quick, and you don't have to page through thousands of emails to get the job done. Just be sure to delete the filter when you're done. UPDATE: As bostonguy points out, Gmail has added an option in search results to select all conversations that match a search, which makes the filter unnecessary. See the screenshot after the jump. As you can see, you can either select the visible matches of a search or select every single conversation in Gmail that matches a search. That means you can easily mark all email as unread by label, date, or whatever, without creating a filter. Thanks bostonguy!

Nebulium [1]
The constellation Lyra stands high overhead as darkness falls this evening. Its most prominent feature is Vega, one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
Through a telescope, though, one of the harp's most impressive features is the Ring Nebula -- a shell of gas expelled by a dying star. Today, we know that such nebulae consist of the same elements found on Earth. But in the past, some scientists thought otherwise.
In the nineteenth century, astronomers first measured light from nebulae at specific wavelengths. Scientists saw some of the same patterns of light in the laboratory, and deduced that the light from the nebulae was produced by the same chemical elements as those in the lab.
But other patterns were puzzling. For example, nebulae often glowed brightly at two green wavelengths. No one had ever seen this in the laboratory. So some scientists thought nebulae harbored a new element: nebulium. In the same way, scientists had first detected a new element on the Sun and named it helium, for the Greek Sun god Helios.
But while helium is a real element, nebulium is not. In the 1920s, scientists realized that the mysterious green color came not from an exotic element, but from one of the most familiar: oxygen. In the extreme conditions of space, oxygen atoms do things they almost never do on Earth, producing the unearthly light.
So nebulium -- which had seemed so alien and exotic -- turned out instead to be quite ordinary and down-to-earth.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Most stock markets fell sharply Friday after weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data raised concern about the recovery in the world's largest economy.
Japan's Nikkei stock index was a notable standout, hitting a four-year high when it closed earlier as investors cheered the central bank's new policies.
In other regions, attention was focused on the U.S. data, which showed an increase of only 88,000 jobs in March, far below the expected rise of about 195,000. Although the unemployment rate fell to 7.6 percent from 7.7 percent, that was only because more people gave up looking for work.
Analysts said the figures showed the U.S. recovery, which had been advancing at a good pace in recent months, would be uneven. They suggested it would be only a temporary slowdown, however.
"We don't anticipate the slowdown becoming too severe, not when the housing recovery is firing on all cylinders, but it is a reminder that the US is still unable to sustain what used to be just average rates of growth," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
Britain's FTSE 100 ended Friday 1.41 percent lower at to 6,254 while Germany's DAX dropped 2 percent to 7,658. France's CAC 40 index lost 1.7 percent to 3,663.
The jobs data sent Wall Street lower, with the Dow shedding 0.75 percent to 14,497 and the broader S&P 500 down by 0.9 percent to 1,546.
Earlier, the attention in markets had been on Japan, where the Nikkei surged for a second straight day after the central bank's new governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, unveiled plans to pump huge amounts of money into the financial system to spur price rises, spending and borrowing in an economy that has stagnated for years.
The central bank said it wanted to double the money supply and achieve a 2 percent inflation target within about two years. Kuroda described the scale of monetary stimulus as "large beyond reason," but said the inflation target would remain out of reach if the central bank stuck to incremental steps.
"The size of monetary easing announced yesterday far exceeded expectations," said analysts at DBS Bank Ltd. in Singapore in a commentary.
The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo closed 1.6 percent higher at 12,833.64, its highest finish since Sept. 1, 2008. Earlier in the day it surged more than 3 percent, breaking the 13,000 level.
Stock markets in Asia outside of Japan sagged, however.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng tumbled 2.7 percent to 21,726.90. Analysts said the fall reflected some nervousness about a recent outbreak of deadly bird flu in China. Six people have died and authorities have ordered the slaughter of all poultry at a Shanghai market where the virus was detected. The news hurt tourism and travel-related shares. Hong Kong-listed Air China plunged 9.8 percent and China Southern Airlines sank 8.5 percent.
South Korea's Kospi dropped 1.6 percent to 1,927.23, dragged down by political jitters over the latest tensions with Pyongyang. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.5 percent to 4,891.40 as investors took profits after recent rallies
In Japan, the monetary easing measures pushed the yen sharply lower. On Friday, the dollar was up to 97.09 yen from 96.13 yen late Thursday.
Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics, said that the Bank of Japan's credibility rests on the success of the new direction the bank is taking.
"Markets are giving it the benefit of the doubt for now. But if the broad monetary aggregates and inflation don't show signs of a shift, the new-found trust in the capacities of the BoJ will rapidly fade," Williams said in a written commentary.
Benchmark oil for May delivery was down 67 cents to $92.59 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.19 on Thursday.
The euro rose against the dollar, to $1.3017 from $1.2939 late Thursday in New York.

What are you into as far as other hot men's used athletic gear, underwear, or shoes? I want to know what turns you on and how do you get your supply of this gear?
What are you into as far as other hot men's used athletic gear, underwear, or shoes? I want to know what turns you on and how do you get your supply of this gear?
Used sweaty jockstraps, cups, uniforms.
Absolutely (but not shoes). Sadly I don't have a ready supply....
Thanks guys for the posts. I am not so much into used gear as I am into supplying it. I love getting a jockstrap or something else nasty and then mailing it off to a guy for him to enjoy. I don't do this for free cause that is part of the fun also.
Sounds hot to me!
love sniffing other lads dirty worn boxers and briefs etc. love most some really smelly cum stained boxers. such a turn on to sniff and wank off over. anyone wanting to swop let me know! UK based here!

Wow man you're one lucky dude-please tell me how you managed to get your hands on footballers underwear...just thinking about that is getting me hard.:-p
I used to work at a university. Their lockerrooms would be wide open especially in the evenings. I used to go in there after work and the soccer and football lockerrooms were wide open! I remember one time I ran it and grabbed the first pair of boxers I could find. They were some gray boxers seemed worn. They smelled soooo goood. Nice musty scent especially around the ball and cock area. I kept those and they still smell after a year. I jack off with them all the time.
The aroma of sweaty sports gear as hangs in the locker to give off that special man scent.
i like worn shoes. my friend once left his shoes in my bathroom so i jacked off and came while sniffing them. It was so hot
My sister was stunning in her 20s, she was dating a professional soccer player, he was a red blooded , muscular, handsome young buck, arrogant, exceptionally masculine, just a stud. I had noticed he had magnificent size 14 feet, wide an powerful an masculine. These were the feet that scored goals, won matches, out ran rival males, one day he came round and there was only me in, I told. Him Mum had jus had the carpets cleaned so he would have to remove his shoes an socks and leave them in the porch. He duly obliged an whilst he was upstairs giving me sister a good seeing to I was in the bathroom sniffing and licking and caressing every inch of his expensive Italian loafers an his thin silk socks,. The socks were warm an damp with his sweat, an the shoes smelt of a heady powerfully male mix of leather, polish, grit an the heat an sweat an man stink off his footballers size 14s. Heavenly the sweat an stink an power of a real mans feet flooding my nose and mouth like a fine wine. Funniest if all was when he put his socks back on, they were sopping wet with my drool an he couldn't work out why
Love smelling a hot guy's used gear. Mostly bought stuff from online. Although there is nothing quite like finding them in real life.
I have sold a few of my old jockstraps. Usually wear one when working-out/hiking, that pouch gets soaked with sweat quickly. I also have no problem customizing with any special requests. Every guy who's bought from me has been super satisfied.
Love sniffing a guys well worn boxers and socks when on the gym changing rooms. Got some sent to me from guys too and love wanking off getting a good sniff of where their ass hole and cock has been. Any guys wana send me some? Please PM me and help me have better wanks ;p
Yep, love sniffing guys underwear when it's sweaty and stained. If it's old and a bit worn out, then I like it even better - don't know why.
I work where I get a regular supply - but it works all ways and so we all get a good ration of what we need. (Five of us at work are into this - including the boss. A dream job. )

I was lucky enough to have a guy right here on JUB send me his used boxer briefs a few times! I loved it! getting them in the mail, then sniffing them, then I would wear them all day. I would cum on his cum stains too.
I have a couple guys I work out with, know i am into under armour stuff. sometimes they will give me their shorts and underwear for me to take home and wash....they know what I do with them first.
just hit the pot of gold of used gear. went to the soccer lockerroom where I work and they left it unlocked. found their large laundry basket where all the guys throw their gear in to get washed. filled with jock straps, boxers, socks, shirts, jerseys. I sniffed and few and jacked off quickly before anyone caught me.
hello all. I stumbled across this website today and can't believe that there are other people into what (I think) I am into. I'm new to all this but get hugely turned on by dirty boots and socks and piss stained underwear. After reading some of the posts on this site I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

The 2013–14 academic year marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of Cornell's Human Sexuality Collection. While the archive ruffled some feathers when it was founded, it now boasts some 10,000 volumes and other materials used by scholars from all over the world.
By Beth Saulnier
The two small, black-and-white photographs show a sweet-faced man who looks to be in his late teens or early twenties; he's young enough, in any event, to sport a smattering of acne across his cheek and chin. He's neatly dressed—three-piece suit, stiff-collared shirt, pocket handkerchief, lapel pin—and his hair is coiffed in the style of the day, shorn high at the sides and floppy on top. In the left-hand image he's in profile, eyes turned heavenward; in the right one, he stares directly into the camera with a classic deer-in-headlights expression. The longer you look at the tiny photos, the more startled and frightened he seems.
Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what this young man was feeling—but the context makes it easy to surmise. The images are mug shots from December 1918, when one Franklin Koch was arrested in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The charges: "sodomy and buggery."
Viewing his mug shots in Kroch Library makes you wonder what became of poor Mr. Koch—whether he served time, lost his job, got beaten up, was rejected by his family. Inevitably, it also prompts thoughts of how different his life would have been if he'd been born a century later. While homosexual acts were crimes in Pennsylvania in Koch's day, this spring the state became the nineteenth in the U.S. to legalize gay marriage. The man who was slapped into cuffs for consensual sex could have shopped for an officiant on EngagedGayWeddings.com.
According to the University Library's Brenda Marston, such musings are exactly what the creators of "Speaking of Sex" were aiming for. The exhibit, which opened in February and runs through mid-October, celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of Cornell's Human Sexuality Collection, a milestone the University marked with events throughout the 2013–14 academic year. "We were unique in having an archival focus and in documenting the social movements related to sexuality," says Marston, who has served as the collection's curator since shortly after its inception. "We were pioneering both in giving prominent attention to lesbian and gay history and also in documenting sexuality broadly—saying it's important to look at all the different margins of sexuality and the kinds of sex that have been considered deviant. We were interested in transgender rights before a lot of other people, because our focus is looking at what is excluded and how new communities are forming and defining themselves."
"Speaking of Sex," on display in Kroch's main gallery, offers a glimpse into the depth and breadth of the Human Sexuality Collection—an archive that boasts some 10,000 volumes and other materials comprising more than 1,430 cubic feet of storage space. There's a 1926 advice book quaintly titled The Question of Petting. A 1955 "Dating Ladder" that prescribes five rungs of social interaction, topped—naturally—by engagement and marriage. A 1997 copy of Roberts' Rules of Lesbian Break-Ups. The Fifties-era pulp novel Odd Girl, touted as "the revealing story of life and love among warped women." Turn-of-the-last-century photos and postcards of same-sex couples and cross-dressing performers. An 1813 edition of Henry Fielding's The Surprising Adventures of a Female Husband. A program from the musical La Cage Aux Folles. The Beginner's Guide to Cruising. A poster from the 1973 X-rated romp Campus Girls, "in color for ladies and gentlemen over 21." A sticker promoting the San Francisco chapter of ACT UP ("200,000 dead from AIDS—Had Enough?"). A box of nudist-themed napkins. Buttons supporting abortion rights and opposing sodomy laws. Cards advertising sex workers, from a "shemale transvestite" to a gal named Maria who boasts "the best nipples in London." One spare, handwritten slip of paper bears a phone number and a promise: "Kinky But Kind."

– Werner Herzog is set to direct "Vernon God Little," an adaptation of D.B.C. Pierre's novel penned by Andrew Birkin ("Perfume"). The coming of age story, set in Texas, follows a teenager who is caught up in the aftermath of a shooting at his high-school committed by his best friend. This was the last project set up by the late producer Bernd Eichinger, and will be taken over by his wife, Katja Eichinger and Stefan Arndt.
– The previously announced big screen adaptation of the "Assassin's Creed" video games, with Michael Fassbender attached, announces the partnering of Ubisoft and New Regency. The screenplay is being developed and the project is being fast-tracked with Ubisoft maintaining control of the film's creative elements. Ubisoft's Jean-Julien Baronnet says bringing on New Regency "ensures that Assassin's Creed will be a high-quality film that respects the lore and fans of the video game franchise."
The game, first introduced in 2007, centers on Desmond Miles, a bartender who is kidnapped and forced by a corporation to use the Animus machine to relive memories of his ancestor, Altair, who was an assassin during the Crusades in the middle east. Follow-up games place him in 14th century Italy and colonial America at the end of the 18th century.

How Baby Toys Help Your Child's Development
Whether you're excitedly expecting the arrival of your baby or are already delighting in their ever-changing capabilities, it's never too soon to check out toys that encourage language skills, creativity, and movement. After all, that's how babies and toddlers learn best—through playing. As your child's skills expand, they'll be ready for new types of engagement through various toys and activities. We've broken down some of our favorite types to get you through the first year.
Zero to Three Months
Your little one is just starting to understand that they're part of a big, wide world in the first few months and, as a result, have limited capability when it comes to play. However, it's never too early to ignite imagination and curiosity. As your baby is becoming more alert and is able to see the world around them more clearly, you can introduce a soft book, wrist rattle, and mobile that plays gentle music. Your baby's nearsightedness, which typically means they can only see objects eight to 15 inches away during the first few months of life, means that they'll respond best to patterns within their line of vision. A great multipurpose toy is an activity gym, which provides a comfortable space for your baby to practice tummy time—building the head, arm and back strength that helps your baby learn to roll over. The gyms also often play music and have hanging toys, which will challenge your baby to grab at them and explore.
Three to Six Months
Between three and six months, it's a whole new world for your baby. For the first time, they understand the relationship between objects and people. (Around six months, separation anxiety can begin to emerge.) For play, your baby has discovered their hands and can now hold onto toys. They may show more interest in details like zippers and labels or begin to throw things to see what's inside or bang two toys together. A baby might start enjoying independent play in an activity station or jumper. These fun items provide a variety of sounds, textures, and colors for your child to enjoy while helping to strengthen their legs, preparing them for crawling and eventually walking. Your baby may also start to experience their first tooth coming through, so teethers, like the ever-popular Sophie the Giraffe, provide entertainment and comfort.
Six to Nine Months
At this stage, your baby is ready to make their first move and may already be starting to crawl. Keep building their strength and coordination with toys like balls, building blocks, and stacking cups. Children at this stage are also starting to imitate facial expressions and sounds, making your daily routines more fun than ever. Pique that creativity with imagination and story time, using stuffed animals, dolls, puppets, and board books.
Nine to 12 Months
Whether they're crawling, cruising, or walking, your little one is officially on the move by the time they reach 12 months. To provide opportunities to practice these new skills, look for push toys that your child can move around the room, like cars and trucks. They're also much more engaged when playing, looking for chances to push buttons and make noise as they explore the world of cause and effect. This is a great time to introduce them to instruments, and giving them toy instruments to encourage them to make their own music. Mentally, they're starting to problem solve, making shape sorters and knob puzzles great choices to work on those skills.

A year ago, 39 leading influenza researchers voluntarily halted their research because of fears that their experiments might ] lead to acidental or terrorist release of an H5N1 (avian) influenza virus that was highly transmittable in mammals. The group wanted to give governments time to review and update guidelines for influenza work and to allow the public to become better informed of the risks and benefits.
Now, in a letter published concurrently in Science and Nature, the same scientists have lifted that ban in countries with such guidelines (1-2). The United States is not among them.
"[Almost] 40 of the world-leading experts in influenza research seem to think that the benefits [of H5N1 research] outweigh the risks," said H5N1 researcher Ron Fouchier in a teleconference.
The H5N1 virus was first identified in Asian poultry in the late 1990s. While the virus occasionally infects nearby wild birds and mammals—including humans—it is not transmittable through the air and can't be passed efficiently from human to human.
Last year, however, two groups led by Ron Fouchier at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Yoshihiro Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin, Madison reported building versions of the H5N1 virus that could be transmitted through the air, infecting ferrets in neighboring cages via respiratory droplets (3-4).
But before the papers were even published, an outcry erupted. Fears that the new mutant virus could escape the lab and cause a human pandemic or that terrorists could use the paper as a recipe for a new bioweapon gripped the international community. In an unprecedented step, the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity asked Science not to publish the papers, and Science obliged. In response, avian flu researchers stopped work on their riskiest projects.
Eventually, the security board voted to allow thepapers to be published, which occurred in June 2012. Yesterday, researchers lifted the voluntary moratorium in countries that have addressed concerns, such as ensuring that the work is conducted in safe laboratories under strict protocols, thus making it difficult for the virus to escape.
This move allows researchers in the Netherlands and other European Union countries to resume their research. Fouchier estimates experiments in his Rotterdam lab will re-start in a few weeks. But researchers in the US will wait to resume work until the government finalizes its guidelines.
"The U.S. has been unclear in how long it would take. If the US had said at the NIH meeting in November of last year that it would take another three months, we would probably have waited [to lift the moratorium], but we did not get that answer. It might take another one to three years. So how long do you want us to wait?" said Fouchier.
Until the guidelines are finalized, Kawaoka and other US-based or federally funded researchers cannot continue their work. The US will continue to accept public comments on proposed guidelines governing study of these viruses until January 31.
"We want to resume H5N1 virus transmission studies because we believe this research is important to pandemic preparedness," said Kawaoka in a teleconference. "Our research to understand how avian viruses adapt to mammals will lead to better surveillance and vaccines."

Reminder: In Chung King Mansion, there are five blocks (A, B, C, D and E); we are in Block D 10th Floor!
Location guide:
1. Airport Bus: Airport bus is the most popular method to get to Chungking Mansions. The Airbus Station is located near Hall B on the Arrivals Level (Level 5) of Hong Kong International Airport. Find the bus stand for A21 Airport Hung Hom KCR Station Route. You will see a map of the terminal. There is usually a lineup of around 10. The bus departs approximately every 10-15 minutes. A fare is HK$33. When you are on the bus, be sure to first secure your luggage then find a sit on the lower level. In 40 -90 minutes (varies with traffic) you will reach the Bus Stop No.14 - Middle Road, Nathan Road. (1st being the airport). Because the service time of A21 is 05:00-23:59, you can use N21 airport bus at same place and stop at same bus stop if you arrival Hong Kong after 00:00.
Once you got off the bus, turn the back way, it takes about 30 seconds on foot. You can see the Chung King Mansions front entrance on your right hand side. You will see the huge TV screen paste at the wall of Chungking Mansions. When you make sure you are at Chung King Mansions, walk into the Block D (just be close to the Chungking Mansions front entrance). You can see two lift, take the left hand side one, (stop at even numbers floor), push the 10th floor button, when you are out, turn right and you can see our reception should be within your sight.
