Slab Creek Reservoir Kayak, Canoe, SUP & Kayak Fishing Information
Slab Creek Reservoir lies in a deep gorge in the upper South Fork of the American River in El Dorado National Forest in Placerville County. The South Fork American River is one of the most popular whitewater rivers in the western half of the United States. Slab Creek Reservoir is the only disruption in a series of whitewater runs lying upriver of Chili Bar Reservoir. It is a fabulous paddling destination that not many people know about. Only an hour's driving time from Sacramento, it is a must see retreat for paddling enthusiasts who enjoy flat water in a peaceful atmosphere, void of all motorized water vessels.
Slab Creek Reservoir holds a good population of rainbow trout which provides the best action in the early spring. During the later part of the spring and through the summer, your best bet is to troll for rainbow and brown trout from the dam on upstream.
The reservoir is wider at the Slab Creek Road western put-in, and the reservoir's water level does not affect the put-in. However, the last mile of Slab Creek Road is a narrow, dirt and wash-board road that runs along the side of a steep mountain, and there are only a few small turn-outs for negotiating oncoming traffic. You could literally be forced to back up this narrow, winding road, similar to the access road to Thomas Edison and Florence Lakes.
Facilities: The reservoir has accessibility problems in the event of an emergency or sudden change in weather conditions. There are only two access points at the lower and upper ends of the reservoir, and no access in-between. Cell phone coverage, though spotty, is available in the event you run into trouble. Only non motorized vessels are allowed. Fishing, boating, swimming, and hiking.
There isn't any camping facilities at Slab Creek Reservoir. The nearest camping facilities is at Jenkinson Lak
Open:The gate at the road entrance automatically opens at dawn and closes at dusk. On a weekday, consider arriving at dawn, when there's less chance of wind on the return trip or difficulty parking. Due to the limited number of parking spaces available, if you find a space when you arrive, park your vehicle and hand carry your kayak to the water, to avoid someone else taking your parking space.
Avoid using the eastern put-in during windy conditions. If the wind picks up, you may have to paddle against strong head winds or against a strong current on your return trip. Also, when the reservoir's inflow increases, it can be very strenuous paddling against the swift current to get back to your vehicle. Sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week, year-round weather permitting.
Fees: There is no day use or launch fee.

Post traumatic stress
Mar 17, 2002
I am a 39 year old, professional, well-educated (3 graduate degrees and a doctorate) gay man with an excellent job and a partner of 9 years (with an 8 month hiatus in 1995). In October, 2000, I noticed a fumy swelling in my nexk that was not painful. I went to the Dr. and he prescribed antibiotics. It did not go away, and my left tonsil was also swollen, but no tpianful. After a series of tests, I had a bipsy. I also had an HIV test. To make a long story short, In November of 2000, i was disgnosed with Hodgkin's dieseas and HIV on the sme day, while sitting in my office on the telepone with my dr.
I started HIV treatments and chemotherapy in january 2001 (after staging tests for the cancer). Two weeks into that, feeling like s___ and still a work, a student of mine (I am a principal of a school), was killed in a freak accident in my school. I never thought I would see a dead body in a pool of blood in my school. (sorry to be so graphic), or have to give a eulogy in front of the entire community for one of my students, as I am feeling so nauseas from the chemo that few people, at that point, knew I was going through, or reading about the eulogy in the newspaper. What a nightmare.
I had to go on medical leave, mostly because of the side effects from treatment of the cancer, but I was overwhelmed with the fallout of those previous few months. I have never had a history of bad things happening like this, except my dad died suddenly the year before my illnesses were diagnosed.
I successfully battled the cancer, and went back to work as I began the radiation treatments.
The HIV is under control, and I am doing well.
However, I have been dealing with anxiety. I am seeing a theapist, a psychiatric nurse practioner for meds (paxil, klonopin), and I am even trying EMDR. Each of these professionals thinks I have post-traumatic stress disorder. I guess I must, because I do not sleep well, feel anxious and/or depressed, and I hate my job right now. I cannot focus, and it scares me to go into work (although I do, have not missed a day since October) . I don''t know what else to do. I feel like a failure, even though I have come out on top with these bad things. I guess I am venting, and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for listening.
Response from Mr. Shernoff
Obviously you have been experiencing the aftermath of two very traumatic events, both your own diagnosis and subsequent treatments as well as the student's death. Either of these events would have shattered your sense of life as normal. But with both coming in such close proximity, they only exacerbated all the feelings that you would have had in response to either alone. Combine this with the leadership and comforting role you had to play in your school community and at that moment there may not have been enough emotional support for you.
So yes, you very well could be suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome, or an understandable reactive depression combined with an anxiety disorder related to how suddenly your life changed. While voicing a diagnosis often helps the mental health professional feel better, it may sometimes, but not always actually be helpful to the person suffering from the symptoms that brought him or her into a therapist's office.
The bottom line should be for you to evaluate whether the treatment you are receiving is doing anything to help you feel better by ameliorating your symptoms and slowly helping you regain your emotional and psychological balance. I don't know how long you have been on the meds or in therapy. But if it is more than a two or three months you should have begun to notice some improvement already if this combiantion is going to help you.
Please begin by discussing any doubts you may have about the efficacy of your treament (if you are in fact not feeling that you are responding to treatment) with both your nurse practicioner and therapist. Sometimes a particular combination of meds is not the right one for any person as we are each idiosyncratic in how our bodies respond, and needs to be changed. If you feel that you are beginning to see improvement than continue all that you are doing.
But if you are not happy with the progress you are making towards recovery, then please talk about this with your therapist. How he or she responds to your concerns will tell you alot about whether or not this particular therapeutic relationship can grow even stronger or if it is not the right one for you. Even if you are happy with him or her, having consultations with another psychopharmacologist and therapist to disucss treatment options is never a bad thing, as long as you talk about this with your current therapist first.
The good news is that you are not just sitting around feeling like a victim, but have already begun to take the steps necessary to get the help you require in order to develop a healthy emotional accomodation to these situations.
Another thing that you say that I urge you to reflect upon is that you mention that prior to your father's death, you had never had a bad thing happen to you. Thus if prior to the death of your father you have really had the good fortune and privilege to never before undergone an adult crisis, you may just not have had the opportunity to learn how to develop all the psychological and emotional muscle relevant to coping with, surviving and surmounting a crisis. I strongly suggest that learning these skills could be a necessary and valuable component of your psychotherapy.
Best of luck in coming through all of this a stronger and more emotionally resilient person.
Michael Shernoff, MSW

Gov. John Kasich's decision to reinstate work requirements for food stamp assistance is inconsistent with his recent championing of health-care for the poor.
An estimated 134,000 Ohioans in seventy-two counties are at risk of losing food stamp assistance as of January 1, when the first round of people will have exhausted a three-month grace period from the requirement that they work at least twenty hours a week, prove they're in school, or take part in job training or job-preparation programs.
All eighty-eight counties received federal waivers from the requirement, but Gov. Kasich opted this year to request extensions only for the sixteen counties with the most stubborn unemployment numbers. People between the ages of eighteen and fifty in the rest of the state must meet the work mandate.
The mandate could come at the same time as the expiration of unemployment benefits for an estimated 129,000 unemployed Ohioans after Congress did not approve another extension.
"We applauded the governor when he had the courage to add 275,000 folks to Medicaid, but it is absurd to give people health care one month and turn around later and say, 'Now you can't eat'," said the Rev. John Edgar, a United Methodist pastor.
Counties are assessing whether people should be exempted from the work requirement based on whether they are pregnant, mentally or physically unfit to work, or have a disability.

We had the Princess's 2nd ultrasound today (luckily just an ultrasound and not VCUG). The kidney dilation is still there. Looks like her 2nd ureter on the right side is not going into the bladder where it should be (well, duh, it's not even supposed to be there!). To confirm this they will send some type of scope up her hoo-ha to get an image of things. They're pretty sure they're right. So they'll cut her open and fix it. They'll take the bad ureter and attach it to the good one and then she should be okay for the rest of her life. We'll be able to stop the damn amoxicillin (that I have to refill tonight damnit) as soon as she recovers from surgery.
It hasn't completely sunk in that once again one of my babies will be having surgery. SkyWalker was 6 months old when he had his hypospadius surgery. The Princess is only 4 months old and it should be done before she's 6 months. Luckily she is so big and healthy and thriving and she can afford to lose a pound if it comes to that. But it still just sucks. I think one of the worst things any parent can hear is that her child needs surgery. There are certainly worse things, and worse surgeries, but she is still my baby.
They'll call us to schedule the scope procedure and the surgery. Should be in the next month or 2. Hopefully it will be in October and not interfere with Thanksgiving when we go to Long Island. I think he said it'll be an overnight. She'll have a catheter just like SkyWalker did. Sigh. I am hoping that the timing is such that I don't need to take off work but the Princess is very much a Mama's girl... she may just need Mama (and Mama's boobs) to feel better afterwards.

"The people" are too stupid to govern themselves. It's the fatal flaw of Democracy. That's the lab report on The Great Experiment. "We the people" are the government. If we are not the government, as most people agree we are not, then we have failed at Democracy.
"The people" are unhappy, angry and discontent because for decades they've been consistently voting against their own interests. You get what you vote for folks! Keep voting for Wall Street, elite wealthy, free-booting, brigand capitalist, tax-evading, global corporate families and your kids and grandkids are guaranteed be as unhappy and angry as you are…and probably poorer too.
The history of "The people's" intellectual political failing began with FDR's death and the advent of TV. That was when the Wall Street elite took over the government by starting their permanent War on Communism. It was their war not "The people's". To this day you cannot get elected in the USA if you are soft on Communism. This is when "The people" got stupid and what a disaster!
Look at elections since the 1960s. LBJ was a great President for "The people". But of course he wasn't elected. He got there by assassination. He delivered Medicare to the elderly and needy, the Civil Rights Act to minorities and the Great Society. Unfortunately he believed he was going to defeat the "communist menace" once and for all. Vietnam destroyed his grand legacy and he did not seek re-election.
So in response to LBJ "The people" elected Richard Nixon, in a 3-way race. He did nothing but prolong the Vietnam War, start the war on drugs and a whole raft of other awful shit. What was really ludicrous was "The people" re-elected him after Watergate and all broke and the criminal couldn't even make it thru his 2nd term. I mean for chrissake how stupid is that?! And of course Vietnam outlasted him and few million extra people died. Wow!
Then we had the un-elected VP President Ford (+ his un-elected VP who happened to be a Rockefeller). He was as surprised that he became President as the rest of us. He did manage to actually end the Vietnam War.
Then came Carter who was elected because he was not part of the "establishment" that everybody's still whining about today. No wars and Americans died on his watch. But "The people" did the bidding of the Iranian terrorist kidnappers and elected the establishment back with…
…Ronald Reagan who would later give them WMDs, in-debt the USA up to its ears, destroy the unions, finance arm and empower Islamic Jihad to defeat the "Communist menace"; (which turned out to be a world-wide disaster all it's own). But like Nixon "The people" re-elected Reagan right in the midst of his incredible crime wave of clueless incompetence. He was an Alzheimer's patient for chrissake!
Next "The people" elected GHW Bush. I've never been clear why. He was the evilest guy ever to be President. Bush was the man who as CIA chief signed off on the first terrorist bombing of a commercial airliner Cuba flight 455 (Google it) and was the ringleader behind Iran-Contra and a plethora of other crimes including numerous assassinations and civil wars. He invaded Panama in a failed attempt to kidnap their President whom he had put in office. In the end he couldn't survive Reagan's debt but it still took a 3rd party to defeat him.
Clinton, though minority-elected, did well. America was at peace with everybody on Earth when he was President and the US economy thrived. American and human casualties were minimal. His re-election was the first one that made sense since FDR.
Of course Clinton couldn't run for a 3rd term cuz "The people" adopted the 22nd Amendment in 1951 outlawing themselves from voting for a very popular and successful President more than twice like they had FDR. I still don't get why they made that rule. Anybody know? But in their never-ending quest to vote against their own interests, they did.
So then along comes Dubya Bush who wasn't actually elected except "The people" elected his brother Governor of Florida, and his Daddy President who with Reagan appointed most of the US Supreme Court who decided the 2000 election. Well that worked out great for "the family"! Dubya immediately took "The people's" $Trillion+ tax surplus and rebated it to Wall Street. September 12, 2001 he was the most popular President on record, 91% . He then invaded Iraq (88% of "The people" approved).
Then again in their endless stupidity "The people" re-elected him in 2004 when there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction in his $2 trillion+interest…4,000 lives++ War on Iraq. And he really went to town on "The people" in his 2nd term. The USA and whole world are still in shock and awe, and will never recover.
In response to national and world disaster and recession "The people"s choice Bush brought upon America they elected Obama in 2008. Whew!
He has been an excellent President, Commander-in-Chief and Head-of-State But he had a hard job to recover America from the Bush global disaster cuz unfortunately he is black-skinned and "The people" in their infinite stupidity elected a racist RepubliKlan Congress to stifle his every effort. Fortunately he has mostly succeeded despite their best efforts.
Now comes election 2016 and "The people" have the gargoyle mutant Trump running neck and neck with Clinton.……..after turning away Sanders; which brings me back to Wall Street's War on the "Communist menace". It has now become the politically correct "socialist menace" since Sanders is socialist; as is Social Security, Medicaid, public schools and everything the gov't does for "The people". He wants to send your children to college for free. Evidently "The people" thought this a repugnant bad idea. Is there something in the water?
"The people" would rather have a Wall Street 1%er who wants to give nuclear weapons to all of our "allies" than a guy who wants to give every American free heath-care and education? Halllloo!!!
Trump should get 5% of the vote and no more.
Well I hope Hillary Clinton will be "The people's" choice in November but I ain't holding my breath. "The people" seem more concerned about some emails or gay marriage than they are about a global war on 1.4 billion Muslims. She will be helpless as President, so the country will stagnate which beats literally burning every bridge in the world like Trump vows to do. But if she keeps our soldiers out of war, as Obama has, we'll survive her. And that's it for decision 2016.
Whew! The stupidest smartest people on planet Earth. That's "The people" of the Untied States of America.

You want to stay away from most of the fasr acting short term opiates like percocet(oxycodone with tylenol), vicodin, lortab, hydro's (hydrocodone with tylenol). The problem with these painkillers is they all have tylenol in them which is something you want to stay away from when you have HCV. A long acting or sustained release is what you need. Ask your doctor... Dave
Man please ,hydrocodone,oxy,and all the rset come in there individual pure form. Hycodan is straight hydrocodone. No tylenol. My cousin needs help with pain and docs jerk him around tellin him about the dangers of tylenol. You can get it without the tylenol. Is the hydrocodone safe by itself with Hep-C? Doctors act like people are stupid.
I have been a chronic pain patient and chronic HEPC i was on Norco from the day it came out, then I found out about HYDROMOREPHONE comes in 2-4-8 mg pills as I understand it, I'm to understand it is not processed by the liver thee way Norco and Ormany other acedimenifen. Anyway it is older med, so it is less expensive, becarful it is strong, I've now been on hydromorephone for about 7 years. Of course building a tollarance as we will with any. PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO LOOK INTO IT, AS AGAIN I WAS PUT ON IT AS A MEANS TO Relieve my liver load I was told?

Report compiled by Farming Online from reports received from members of the Association of Independent Crop Consultants
Flea beetle damage in oilseed rape.: Reports coming in this week imply that some crops have been severely damaged by flea beetles. In discussions with agronomists across the eastern region the message is that damage to crops is patchy. Some crops have undoubtedly been hit hard but these are in isolated areas rather than across the board. In these high risk areas agronomist estimate that 10-15% of crops will be lost. Pressure from flea beetle damage has been intense in these crops but they stress that damage is patchy and localised.
: The factors that agronomists have identified as being important in determining the level of damage are:
: Seed bed conditions. Firm consolidated seed beds have less damage. Unconsolidated seed beds have given refuge to flea beetles and allowed them to attack newly emerging crops.
: Tight rotations; that is where oilseed rape features frequently in the rotation. Fields which have been in oilseed rape within the last two years are more at risk.
: Proximity to last years oilseed rape crops. Fields of oilseed rape neighbouring or contiguous with last years oilseed rape crops are at higher risk.
: Heavy land. Soils with a high clay content are at more risk for two reasons, firstly they have been more difficult to consolidate and secondly where there has also been heavy rain these soils are now hard and restricting root growth of the oilseed rape plants.
: Sowing date. Late sown crops or crops sown just before the heavy rain storms at the end of August are more at risk.
: Mild winter of 2013/14. The very mild winter resulted in very little "winter kill" of flea beetles and as such they have multiplied up in last years crop. Evidence that there were high numbers of flea beetles found in grain trailers at harvest time.
: In areas where there has been significant damage this year, there was also a problem last year.
: Pyrethroid resistance. Resistance to pyrethroids in flea beetle is common and consequently there has been poor control from post emergence spray of pyrethroids in certain areas.
Winter Wheat
Sowing winter wheat (image from Farming Online).
South East: Drilling of Claire and Scout mostly completed, with Cordiale, JB Diego, Crusoe and Solstice drilling now underway, and Skyfall and WW2 from next week onwards. Most first wheats should get drilled by the end of September. Farms growing second wheat Cordiale/Solstice with Latitude planning to finish drilling by 5-7th October. Soils are still generally moist below the surface but are dry on top as we only had around 5-6 mm rain last week. Forecast for continuing dry and warm conditions over next 10-14 days means an emphasis on preserving moisture by rolling following drilling – seedbeds to date are generally very good.
Slugs: trapping of fields after oilseed rape pre-drilling is often indicating high slug populations – populations are, however, much lower on fields that have been disced/cultivated twice pre-drilling.
Frit Fly: beware fields following spring oats as these are often at high risk of damage from the summer generation of frit fly that invade panicles of oats.
Wireworm: some moderately high levels being found in lower lying fields after long-term grass.
Blackgrass: useful flushes in most stale seedbeds, which should reduce populations emerging with the crop.
Eastern Counties: Drilling well underway. Dry seed beds are hindering emergence.
East Midlands: Drilling has started this week with the majority starting end of week and into next week. Many are heeding advice to delay drilling where blackgrass is a problem. Some welcome rain earlier in the week but amounts small and not enough to really wet up soils.
Weed control: blackgrass emergence slow in stale seedbeds with dry conditions.
West Midlands: Crops range from still not drilled, sat in dust, whilst early crops are now at 3 leaf stage. Some have started on second wheats this week or have been patient and drilling winter barley this week, and finishing off with second wheat next week. Rainfall last Friday and Tuesday night has helped the heavier soils but still not enough on the very heavy cloddy soils to get the wheat going as yet (more heavy showers north of Telford will have helped the job along).
Slugs: still the same this week no major losses as yet but some evidence of feeding on emerged crops.
North East: Drilling going well and crops beginning to emerge.
Winter Oilseed Rape
Flush of volunteers in oilseed rape (image from Farming Online).
South East: Crops range from 1 true leaf up to 5 leaves – 75% of crops are now around 3 true leaves.
Phoma: none seen to date, even on volunteers in nearby rape stubbles – but 5+ inches of rain in second half of August will be more than sufficient to trigger spore release at some point.
Flea Beetle: shot holing of cotyledons/leaves still surprisingly hard to find to date, though low levels of activity are starting to appear.
Slugs: surprisingly problematic on a range of soil types, with a few fields/part fields needing re-drilling last week. Wet back end of August clearly encouraged activity and hatching of eggs.
Turnip Sawfly: first instar larvae being found in significant numbers now even in crops sprayed with a pyrethroid 7-10 days ago.
Weed control: significant flush of blackgrass in many fields where there is a history of the weed.
Eastern Counties: Crops have grown away well in the last week and most now are established except in a few heavier cobbly areas of fields where there are lower populations of struggling smaller rape. Most advanced crops at 5 to 6 leaf stage, most 3 to 4 leaves. Recent rainfall varied from between 4 to 18 mm, this has helped especially with nitrogen uptake for some crops. Conditions now very drying again.
Phoma: none seen to date.
Flea Beetle: little further feeding after most crops treated once with a pyrethroid.
Slugs: continuing to apply pellets in thin areas (poorer seedbeds = heavier soils) of a few fields.
Leaf Miner: present – pyrethroid sprays appear to have controlled some of the larvae. Some cabbage root fly damage, taking plants out (a few) on earlier drilled fields especially.
East Midlands: Emerged crops continue to grow well with 4 leaves but later drilled still a bit patchy where dry soils and crops are still at early cotyledon to 1-2 leaf stage.
Flea Beetle: still no damage seen or heard of locally and not a lot seen in water traps either.
Slugs: earlier crops growing away from any potential damage but later emerging ones still at risk although no reports of any significant damage.
West Midlands: Apart from one very heavy block of land all crops are now at a minimum of expanded cotyledon, earlier sown crops are now really taking off with up to 6 true leaves. Light land crops were wilting mid-week.
Flea Beetle: heavy land crops sat in dry soil are starting to suffer.
Slugs: some fields have needed treating despite the dry conditions.
Weed control: large number of volunteer cereals coming through especially after spring or winter barley. Fat-hen coming through pre-emergents on light land.
North East: Good start to new crop with good germination seen across fields. Most crops range from 1 to 3 leaves.
Flea Beetle: low levels but yellow traps out.

5) When the pastry cream is fully cool down, whip up the whipping cream (D), then fold in the pastry cream. Ready to assemble
To Assemble:

2) Place one sponge at the base of the cake ring, then pipe in a thin layer of vanilla mousse.
3) Line the half strawberries side by side with sides stick closely to the cake tin. place some in the center too.
4) Pipe the vanilla mousse between strawberries to fill in the gaps until covers all the strawberries.
5) Place another layer of sponge at the top. Press with some pressure.
6) finally spread a very thin layer of the vanilla mousse to cover the sponge.
7) keep refrigerated for overnight or at least 4 hours to let the gelatine set.
8) to unmould, place the cake on a cup, simply warm the ring with blow torch or wrap around the ring with warm towel. then, pull the ring downwards.

Beneficial Aspects of Smoking Tobacco
Dr. Heafner
English 101 – MW 12:30

Smoking Tobacco Needs a Second Chance
If asked, many people might say smoking tobacco is horrible in every aspect. They would argue that smoking has claimed numerous lives, and would curse the person who discovered it. Others might say that the odor from smoking tobacco is not worth it. I completely disagree with these claims. Often the benefits of smoking tobacco are overlooked. In fact, I believe smoking tobacco is beneficial because of its convenience, its ability to help one's mind set, and its ability to create jobs. First, smoking tobacco is good because of its convenience. Smoking tobacco can be convenient for the smoker that is outdoors. The smoke from smoking tobacco repels the pestering bugs, which makes going outdoors a relaxing time. This is convenient because he/she will not worry about bug spray or bug zappers. In addition, smoking tobacco is convenient because it gives smokers an excuse in many situations. For example, my boss and I got into a heated argument at work, the argument got to a point where my boss had no response to my argument. His only response was, "I'm going to step out for a smoke." The smoking tobacco in this situation gave him the excuse to walk away from our argument. Finally, and possible the most convenience that comes from smoking tobacco is being able to use a tobacco cigarette as a lighter. When the Fourth of July roles around and non-smokers are trying to light a firework on a windy beach with a lighter, frustration will eventually set in when they come to realize the lighter is not going to suffice. Where as to the smokers who are out on the windy beach can simply reach down and light the firework with his/her burning tobacco cigarette. Once that cigarette gets lite it will work as the lighter for the numerous fireworks to come.
In addition to the convenience, smoking tobacco also helps one's mind. The best way to look at this is to look at a typical...

How is everyone going about finding housing?? I didn't make my decision until today so I didn't check out the housing while I was down in Atlanta last wkd.
I also need to find 1-2 room mates too. Does the school have a room mate finder or something? Is anyone planning on rooming with other 1Ls?

As a local that's been in and out of Hong Kong, finding a taste that hasn't ever set up camp on my taste buds is a rarity. I've frequented the high end and the low, tried the tastiest of junk food as well as the finest health food in town. For a while it seems that's as big as the world gets. As it turns out, there's a quaint little restaurant at the west end of Hollywood Road that's learned me a thing.
Mediterranean cuisines aren't new in Hong Kong. Still, the category garners much less attention than its mainstream counterparts. At Bayta, Executive Chef Pauline Steiner is pulling all stops to convert us-- fans of the mainstream, self-acclaimed committed carnivores-- into healthy-eating fanatics for a mostly vegetarian fare. It's a challenge, but God knows it worked.
Tucked away in Sheung Wan, Bayta boasts of its cosiness and intimate atmosphere. In ancient Arabic and Hebrew, Bayta means 'house'. That's certainly the impression its interior decor is giving. With a scheme of blue, green, and copper, and velvety cushions on Arabic themed sofas, Bayta oozes comfort and little else. Expertly designed by Elsa Jean de Dieu, Bayta is a haven that'll have you instantly unwinding after a hard day at work.
Of course, the food is the main attraction, and at Bayta the tastes don't disappoint. Having brought along another guinea pig, my friend and I had the opportunity to taste Bayta's lunch menu. The set is priced at $140 per person, with no extra service charge. For that you get a starter, a main, coffee or tea, and for $40 extra you get today's dessert or cheese. I'm no fan of alcohol-- not at lunchtime, because reasons-- but for $50 extra you get a glass of wine to pair with. The lunch menu changes weekly, so there's no guessing what's up next, but we expect the coming weeks to be just as good.
For starters, we had the choice of soup of the day or chef's salad. We asked for both, because greed is a sin we're willing to atone for in exchange for good food. The mystery soup is a rich blend of carrots, organic red lentils, and hot pepper. It's beautifully golden and fashionably presented. Still I panicked, because if there's one thing on Earth I can't stand, it's carrots. The miracle is this: I didn't taste carrots. The soup had a creamy consistency, and the taste was pleasant, reminding me more of pumpkin than of the orange abomination. With its light, smooth texture, the soup was especially nice to pair with Bayta's crunchy homemade bread. The dish came warm, not tongue-scorchingly hot, which turned into a merit when I experienced a mildly spicy aftertaste that came a second after downing the soup. So it was an oddly intense experience: every spoonful was of two distinct tastes, one following the other. The experience is new, but suffice it to say we've finished the soup to its last drop, and still we craved for more.
The chef's salad was a blend of cauliflower and herbs tabbouleh, fennel seed, orange blossom cream, sided with crispy organic buckwheat flour chips. First impressions can be deceiving, it seems. Having tasted a decade's worth of questionable blends, with one look I expected a salty, heavy mix that'll stuff me full before the mains. It was quite the contrary-- the chef's salad turned out to be mildly sour, and appetizingly so. It wasn't heavy as its look suggested. Instead this brilliant mix brought along a crunchy consistency that rich, creamy potato salads can only hope to achieve. The blend was heavenly light on my tongue, and the tease left me anticipating even more from the mains.
It seems to me that Bayta's specialty lies in their homemade sauce, because sauces they do and sauces they do extraordinarily well. The first main we tried was the squid and chickpeas pancake with burned bell pepper puree. The pleasant surprise came with the chickpeas pancake, which was distinctly curry in content and intensely flavoursome. Another thing I learned is that contrast does wonders. Even though my hopes have been dashed once upon a time by bland carbs over-seasoned with store-bought sauce, Bayta restored my faith by reversing that principle to achieve the perfect balance. Here the rich-tasting pancake, dry and rich, is no doubt the best possible companion to the light, frothy burned bell pepper puree. In the same way the squid was only mildly seasoned, the chef added salty dried sausage to counterbalance the blandness. It's wonderful mix and matching, and personally there's little else more enjoyable than having two extremes of tastes explode in your mouth.
Next up we had a pan-fried polenta with tapenade, vegetables, and watercress sauce. As a proud carnivore I swore the polenta looked every bit a beef patty, but our vegetarian chef was very insistent on sharing her love for all things veggies. As it happens the pan-fried polenta was a much better-- healthier, too-- alternative. Crispy around the edges and incredibly soft at its core, this tasty polenta pretty much melts on your tongue. The spread of tapenade and mix of vegetables were great additions to the dish, giving the richly textured yet blander in taste polenta the wonders of variety and taste.
We wrapped up with iced nougat with hazelnut biscuit and apricot coulis. The dessert was a bit more on the creamy side-- whether that is a plus or a minus is probably subject to preference. I'd prefer something the consistency of ice cream, but it was more akin to alternate layers of cream and ice cream-- delicious for my fellow guinea pig, a little old in texture for me. Nonetheless it wasn't too sweet, and the nougat blended nicely with the bits of nut embedded within. We also had the chance to try the Torta Peghera-- otherwise known as cow cheese. And while it carries quite strong a taste, it is countered quite well with jam and raisins, and makes for a delicious snack.
I can't say Bayta's the entry gateway for me to Mediterranean cuisine, but it certainly may be the case for many Hongkongers and tourists alike. If you haven't tried this unique and surprising fare just yet, you might want to check out Bayta for their seasonal specials, new lunch offers, and their extensive collection of natural wine. Brace yourself for the sensational journey that will always keep you wondering what's next!

Brands that recruit college brand ambassadors have been around for quite some
time, and for good reason. Having a student represent your brand is a great way to
quickly increase brand awareness and promote a positive reputation on campus.
Although the reasons brands recruit ambassadors have not changed much, the act of
properly marketing to college students is always in a state of change. As technology
and communication channels evolve, college students' needs and desires also
change. Recruiting college brand ambassadors requires a lot of work – interviewing,
training, activity planning, managing and reporting are just a few tasks. Here are
three different ways to recruit brand ambassadors while staying relevant to today's
digital world.
Social media is second nature to college students – they constantly have their
smartphones with them and are interacting with others on social media. It is
important to find brand ambassadors who have access to a robust and active
network of students. It is not just about how many people follow them on social
media – it is about how actively engaged they and their followers are on each
respective platform. Brand ambassadors need to have connections that personally
know and trust them.
It can be difficult to find brand ambassadors on college websites. Therefore it is best
to reach out to specific schools and discover how to recruit on site. It is also
important to decide what channel to interact with them on. College students used to
decide between needing a laptop or a desktop for classes. Now, they consider
whether or not having a tablet will be enough. According to the Boston Globe, some
students even write papers on their smartphones. Make communication easy by
meeting them where they are: through mobile.
There are ways to track data to see how well your brand ambassadors are doing
through digital codes. Sites such as bit.ly offer the ability to give each campus rep a
different URL or access code. This gives your brand the ability to track which reps
are driving the most traffic. This increased accountability means that with the right
amount of encouragement, brand ambassadors can become important components
of your marketing strategy. It also raises the bar for campus reps to step up their recruiting game.

Just to make it official-- the total garden produce for 2010 was 761 lbs.
I wish I could set a goal to increase that for next year, but 2011 is so uncertain, because we're moving. I just hope I'll have a garden all set up and ready to go for 2012! As soon as we have our new place I'll be planning the fruit trees and fruit bushes. Those take years to get going, so I want to plant them asap.
Looking over the past year it was good in many, many ways. I feel like I got too involved with the soap business to do the garden full credit but I did get a good amount of food off of our little piece of land. The apple trees produced well. The strawberries produced enough to put some in the freezer. While it was technically on our land we did harvest wild blackberries from Sunfish and they were amazing! We got lots of beans, tomatoes, peppers, and onions from the garden. I love my garden and I love the feeling of self sufficiency it gives me. I'm hoping (SOOO MUCH) that I'll be able to find a little house with a nice spot of land that will be garden friendly.

Steam to help keep cars neat and eco-friendly
Steam to help keep cars neat and eco-friendly
Tired of getting a grimy vehicle, but shouldn't break the hosepipe ban? Engineers at Mira have think of a novel solution – the vehicle dishwasher.
To not be mistaken with the standard drive-through carwash at the local garage, Mira's vehicle wash is really a tent that may be erected in your front yard, and that they reckon might be being used by 2020.
An electrical blower inflates the tent, then your same unit generates an excellent spray water and steam to wash the vehicle. Since the tent is self-contained, all of the water used could be recycled, and it is inventors claim it uses four litres rather of the standard vehicle wash's 135.
It's a pleasant idea, but for the moment, we'll stay with a bucket and sponge.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England - Unlike the guys in charge of the weather forecast, Australian Adam Scott got everything just about right yesterday during the first day of the British Open.
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England � Unlike the guys in charge of the weather forecast, Australian Adam Scott got everything just about right yesterday during the first day of the British Open.
Scott was determined not to take himself out of contention in the opening round at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, as he had done in the first two majors this year. Caddie Steve Williams gave him a pep talk to play the first hole like it was the last one. Even more inspiration came from the international flags posted above the massive grandstand down the left side of the first tee.
They weren�t flapping. They were sagging.
In surprisingly calm conditions, Scott raced out to the lead and almost into the record book. He stood on the 18th tee needing a birdie to break the major championship scoring record, and instead made bogey to settle for a 6-under-par 64.
It tied the lowest Open round at Royal Lytham and gave Scott a one-shot lead over Paul Lawrie, Zach Johnson and Nicolas Colsaerts.
�It was just like a nice walk in the park today,� Scott said. �And it was not what we�ve experienced in the practice rounds. I�m sure there�s going to be some weather elements thrown at us the next three days, so just going to have to knuckle down to handle that.�
The proof was in limp flags and red numbers on the scoreboard.
Scott was among three dozen players with rounds in the 60s, a group that included Tiger Woods. Trying to end a four-year drought in the majors, Woods raced out to four birdies in seven holes to take the early lead, only to settle into a series of pars and one adventure through grass up to his knees for a lone bogey that gave him a 67. In his third Open at Lytham, Woods said it was as easy as he had ever seen it play.
�The wind wasn�t blowing, and we�re backing golf balls up,� Woods said. �That�s something we just don�t see.�
Lawrie won his British Open in nasty conditions at Carnoustie in 1999, and the Scot showed he could handle the calm weather with equal aplomb. He ran off three birdies over the last five holes. Johnson, who won the 2006 Masters in the wind and cold at Augusta National, flirted with a major record-tying 63 until a bogey on the 17th hole. Colsaerts, a big hitter from Belgium, holed out with an 8-iron on the 481-yard second hole for eagle and added four birdies for his 65.
Brandt Snedeker was another shot behind at 66.
�We had a little wind early on the front nine, but it kind of calmed down the second half,� Snedeker said �That�s the best Americans are going to see over here.�
Rory McIlroy finished at 67 after a wild day filled with great shots, bad luck and a bump on the head for a 16-year-old spectator standing in the wrong spot.
McIlroy was at 3 under with four holes remaining when his drive on the 15th hole sailed to the right of the fairway. It plunked the teenager in the head and caromed farther to the right. The teen was OK. The ball settled a few inches beyond the out-of-bounds stakes near a corporate tent, sending McIlroy back to the tee to play his third shot. McIlroy gave the lad a glove on which he wrote �Sorry� with a frown face and �Rory.�
�He could have headed it the other way,� McIlroy joked later. �It would have been on the fairway.�
Perhaps bad weather is on the way. The forecast has not been nearly as accurate as Scott was with his tee shots yesterday � sunshine when it calls for rain, clouds when the forecast is for dry spells.

There are over 100,000 people living with diabetes in Saskatchewan today, but Diabetes Canada estimates that number climbs to 175,000 when you add the number of people living with pre-diabetes.
"In First Nations populations, the prevelance is three to five times greater," Brie Hnetka, Diabetes Canada Regional Director for Saskatchewan, said. "So, they say now 80 per cent of children born today on reserve will get diabetes in their lifetime….so this is a huge, huge problem."
Hnetka said Indigenous people are genetically predisposed to diabetes but there are a number of other factors that increase the risk. Access to healthy food and being in a remote community are some of them.
"It is extremely expensive to buy healthy food in northern communities. Residents also have to ensure it is safe to do physical activities outside, particularly in a remote community," Hnetka said.
While Hnetka admits it is difficult to bend the curve on the rising cases of diabetes in Saskatchewan, education could help prevent some of the complications that come with it.
More than 350 people attended the 14th Annual Aboriginal Gathering in Prince Albert. The unique event features programming geared towards the Aboriginal and Métis populations in the province.
Florence Highway, a diabetic and volunteer with Diabetes Canada, said the goal is to educate and encourage others to take control of their disease.
"We want them to know what services are out there for them….but we also want them to know how to manage a healthy lifestyle," she said. Highway explained volunteers travel across the province telling youth, in particular, that they have a choice to live a health lifestyle.
"We show them the sugar content of things like pop and tell them they can make a choice to have it, but it has to be in moderation," Highway said.
Focus is also given to prenatal care because Highway said many pregnant women don't understand that an unborn fetus can also become diabetic.
The gathering featured a number of guest speakers and topics, including how to manage living with diabetes. Hnetka said it is important for everyone, despite their cultural background, to know whether they are at risk and what the symptoms are to avoid complications.
"One of the leading causes of heart attacks, strokes, blindness and amputation is diabetes. So, one of our goals is to help people manage their diabetes better so we can reduce these complications," Hnetka said.
"You can live a really healthy lifestyle with diabetes. It isn't a death sentence….but it is a lot of work to manage it."

It sounds like your son was in kindergarten for a half day. That's not the case where I live and I don't think my grandson's issue is inmaturity. If anything, he needs FOCUS and that's something a structured school environment would give him.

Thanks for stopping by and firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076762051720433110.post-81706101832324352732011-01-12T09:00:46.923-08:002011-01-12T09:00:46.923-08:00Bev, I completely agree with you on this one! In ...Bev, I completely agree with you on this one! In my reading about the subject, I have found that testing a child that age is not only not appropriate, it is not accurate. They need to be in 3rd grade for any level of accuracy.

I addressed this issue in my blog when my daughter told me that my grandson needs to be able to read and write to get into kindergarten. That is ridiculous.

And as for when the child is admitted to kindergarten, that should be up to the parent, or caregiver, who know that child best.

Obviously you have hit on a sore point of mine.

Our cutoff date here is the day school starts. In my son's case, it was Aug 22nd and his birthday is Aug 18th. He was a preemie, though, who was supposed to have been born in October. Anyway, he was so anxious to start school that, despite the school's advice to hold him back, I put him in. He was ok in the Kindergarten atmosphere, but when it came down to 1st grade, all day school, sitting at a desk and homework, I could really see his immaturity. I'm seeing it a bit in his swimming and diving, too. Some of his competition are seniors who turned 18 in the beginning of the school year. With the scholarships offered, they've had an extra year to hone their skills. It's a big advantage in those types of things, too. Hard to say, but I think if I had a do over, I'd think have held him back that year.Jessica Siegharthttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

The five year anniversary of my last visit with Kelly-Anne is fast approaching. Sometimes the pain of her death is as raw as it was in the weeks and months that followed her murder.
In the summer of 2004, I had just moved to Washington and Kelly-Anne had just moved into the apartment with Marty. When I went home in early August to move my stuff down to DC I visited with Kell several times. She was SO excited about her new apartment and new appliances. I remember being surprised to see that Kell had a new fridge and stove and washer and dryer. Kelly-Anne was unbelievably careful with her money and this must been one of the biggest purchases she ever made. I was stunned, however, when I saw she had also purchased an expensive looking stereo. When I commented to her that it was out of character, she said Marty had wanted it. I was surprised, but said nothing more.
She had picked out all sorts of paint colours for her walls. In true Kelly-Anne fashion, they were bright and colorful. And there had to be at least six different colors throughout the apartment. (I sometimes wonder if the kitchen of the apartment is still bright yellow?)
We had fun together during that week that I was home. We laughed and talked and acted silly as we always did when we were together. We were both excited for the future: Kelly-Anne was heading to Italy in a month for the lifeguarding comeptition, and I was heading back to DC to begin a new job.
I had no way of knowing then that I'd never see Kell alive again. I wish I had spent more time with her, told her what a good friend she really was. I don't have any siblings and Kelly-Anne was the closest thing to a sister I'd ever have.
We didn't always see eye to eye and we didn't always have the same outlook on life. But we loved each other deeply and saw each other though thick and thin for nearly twenty years.
I doubt I'll ever have another friend like Kelly-Anne...

When I start my application in debug mode from VB2010, all is fine, but if I launch the exe file manually (from the debug directory) the application crashes and no message is shown.
In the applicatiopn log I have the following error

See why a Canadian – via Texas – chose Atlanta to grow his payment security career. Hint: graduate talent and convenience for international travel were big helps.
The last time you bought something online, you probably briefly considered the security of your purchase. You made sure that you were shopping on a trusted site at a trusted company, and then you moved forward with buying your shoes, or e-book, or cat food, or whichever of the many purchases we make online these days.
That's thanks to companies like Asif Ramji's Paymetric, one of the thriving firms in Atlanta's booming financial tech industry.
"We take payments for large companies and integrate them into their back-end systems," says the president and CEO of the Roswell business. "When a credit card payment is made, we capture that raw credit card number and turn it into a token, secure it, and then we integrate it into the back-end systems of these large clients."
Ramji sees Atlanta as a natural hub for financial technology, largely due to the workforce and quality of graduates in the region.
"Our company was originally headquartered and founded in Texas," he says. "We relocated it here to Atlanta because of that talent and the availability of talent."
So how did the West Coast transplant with expertise in financial data security and a love for international cuisine end up in Atlanta via Texas?
"I grew up in Vancouver," says Ramji. "There was a huge influence of international cuisine and international people. The perception I had of Atlanta was maybe it would be more limited. Maybe it's just all barbeque and cheeseburgers and pizza. And it's definitely much broader than that. And a huge reason for relocation here is cost of living…It's just very cost effective."
Imagine that one of the best cities to start a business is also one of the best cities to start a family. A city made of neighborhoods, a thriving metropolitan. Discover people like you who chose Atlanta. Find the perfect place to live.

I have an HNT photo (above), sketches (below), and some random spewage from the 'net. Today is a day of errands.
"This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs."
I have started taking chloroquine in preparation to fend off malaria while in Central America. 17 pills, once a week. Go!
I also have a week of vivotif to take, starting today, for typhoid prevention.
I gots the good stuff.
I think I'm starting to better understand why artists deviate from the conventional, Renaissance-era, realism. As someone who thrives off of super-realism and technical detail, I used to wonder why Picasso turned more and more to the simplistic, even child-like works later in life. What Salvador Dali found appealing in melting clocks.
This is just my personal theory, but I think, simply put, they were bored with realism. Confident in their technical ability to render lifelike works of art, they chose to challenge themselves by stretching reality, creating their own.
I like both of these artists a lot (although Dali took awhile to grow on me), although I'm also still a fan of more classical artists, like Vermeer and Rembrandt.
This is a yummy photograph I found a while ago, by a photographer named Jarek Kubicki. It's a favorite of mine, and perfect as a sketch study of hands. Veined, muscled, tense hands, against soft, curvy, fleshy ones. Not to mention the beautiful composition, lighting…sigh.
All credit goes to him! I just wanted to draw hands…I love hands. Granted, once you see the photograph, some glaring errors come to light, and it's unfinished, but I stopped when my cheap ballpoint pen ran out of ink.
So it goes…
I found this a couple days ago. It's a recording of a Verizon customer's phone call to their customer service, in which he tries to clarify whether the rate charged to him is $0.002, or 0.002¢. Unfortunately, Verizon can't tell the difference between these two values.
Baggage Claim
Since it has become the unofficial tradition of my family to celebrate on Christmas Eve, Christmas day itself is actually rather drab. A few more presents always appear Christmas morning, but afterwards things are usually fairly mellow. Today was no exception – I haven't changed out of my nightgown.
This Christmas Eve was interesting, however. It is the first time I have gone into any kind of religious building for any kind of religious service. My mother ushered my brother and I to church Sunday morning for a new kind of holiday experience. Along with some other relatives, we listened to carols sung by the choir, then a guy talked extensively of the church's various community services for the less fortunate on Christmas. Another guy appeared (yes, my religious terminology is very extensive) to talk about the first Christmas and read passages from the Bible.
But by far, the most moving part of the service for me was the choir singing in the beginning. Besides reaffirming for me the incredible power of music, I was also struck by how much more I felt connected to those that filled the pews as we all stood, listening.
So, I've now fulfilled my desire to attend a church service. I'd also like to attend a synagogue and temple service, but considering how long it took me to actually make it to church, that may be a tad ambitious.
After church, we drove to Borders so I could pick up last minute gifts…along with every other person in town. I also got myself a little Christmas gift – The Story of O. I finished reading it today. Still absorbing it…
Finally, there is this little piece of fiction that appeared in my head last night. For some reason, I always get these ideas or images, and an inkling of an urge to write, just as I'm getting comfortable in bed. And, invariably, I'm always too lazy to get up and get it down on paper or computer and out of my head. Here's a draft, I guess. I am never really satisfied with anything I write…
She grew increasingly more nervous as the plane landed, taxied, and pulled up to the gate. The nearness and tangibility of the airport, runway, even of the soft misty rain, all brought with it the concreteness of her immediate future. In the air, it had been much easier to remain calm, assured, and confident. To imagine the events unfolding in her head with the indifference of an outside observer.
Heart in her throat, she jumped up as soon as the seatbelt sign turned off, startling the man seated next to her by the window. He raised his eyebrows and looked up at her.
"Happy to get off the plane, eh?" He asked. She smiled distractedly, might have nodded in reply. Her mind was projected towards the terminal, towards a meeting planned in the most straightforward manner, yet full of uncertainties…. She grabbed her small travel suitcase from the overhead bin – all that she had been told she would need was inside – set the airplane pillow and headphones on her seat, waiting impatiently as passengers ahead of her collected their own belongings and their children, shuffling slowly down the aisle.
Finally she walked out of the gate, past peering and eager faces, past those holding names on cards and pieces of cardboard, past expectant searching eyes. He would not be there.
She walked quickly, heart thudding almost painfully against her ribs, resisting the urge to glance frantically around, to jump at every coat that brushed her arm. Over and over, she narrated her instructions to herself as she navigated through the crowded terminal, towards the baggage claim area. The seats across from the fourth carousel, the seats across from the fourth carousel…
The baggage claim was packed, and Carousel Four was no exception. She struggled through a maze of people, carts, and luggage, and when she finally found the row of seats that hugged the wall opposite the belt, her heart sank to see it completely full. She looked at the screen hanging above the carousel – a plane had landed half an hour ago. Surely the area would empty soon. She hoped.
After a brief eternity of waiting, which lasted fifteen minutes, she managed to snag a seat. Finally. But now, her final instruction beckoned, and her pulse quickened again. She glanced to her left and right. What would these people think? What if airport security saw her? What if…?
With a deep breath, she pulled the black silk handkerchief from her pocket. Her hands shook slightly as she folded the cloth into a triangle, then again lengthwise several times, till it formed a long flat strip. She raised the band of cloth to her eyes, the crowds of people disappearing as she knotted the handkerchief securely.
She let out her breath. Suddenly, unexpectedly, she found a deep calm welling up from within. Even as her other senses began to sharpen, making up for the loss of sight, allowing her to hear the steps of hundreds of people, the crinkle and sigh of lifted suitcases; to smell the sweat and perfume of those walking past; to feel, even more acutely, the smoothness of her skirt against her legs and panty-less ass; even as she grew more aware of all of this, she felt her heartbeat slow, her breath deepen. Her hands stopped their agitated movements – one found the handle of her suitcase and gripped it tightly. The other rested, palm up, on the seat.
And she waited, no longer caring what curious looks she must be getting, what whispers might be directed at her. She had no idea how quickly time was passing. She didn't even realize that she was smiling. And those who saw her, however troubled or curious they were, did not dare approach her.
Slowly, as people retrieved their luggage and went on their way, the area emptied. She vaguely noticed the lessening of noise and traffic. But she was on a different level of consciousness now, almost as if in a meditative trance.
The sound of one pair of footsteps echoing in the now empty baggage claim penetrated her mind as if from far in the distance. They were approaching…she could sense the change in atmosphere that marked a physical presence nearby. She shook herself mentally, trying to clear the serene fog that had settled over her. She did not dare move.
The footsteps stopped, and she thought she could feel a slight rise in the immediate temperature, caused by the heat emanating from another body. Fabric rustled softly, the source of heat drew nearer. She raised her head slightly, thinking its target to be her blindfold. She felt an electric shock as skin came in contact with her…a hand grazing her cheek, fingers curling at the nape of her neck. Then, lips against hers, and when her mouth parted in surprise, a tongue that took advantage of it, probing deep.
Her breath no longer her own, she melted into its new possessor, giving it willingly, and she was lightheaded when the lips finally released her, allowing her air. She panted shallowly, head tilted upwards, and the fire that had been brewing within her for so long – perhaps since she had stepped foot on the plane – roared into life and consumed her as she heard that familiar low, soothing voice inches from her ear, no longer separated by a phone line.
"Good girl."
I watch her quietly as she works. So intently focused is she on her writing that she doesn't hear the scrape of the door opening, nor the soft rustle of my jeans as I pad inside. Just a few steps, so as not to disturb her. At least, not yet.
I love watching her so absorbed in her work. Her head bent low, wisps of hair grazing the desk and paper. The pen moves quickly across the page, compelled by its owner's hand and inspiration.
She has such tiny, delicate wrists and small hands. I always feel like a giant when I hold her hand, or when I grab her wrist. The thought causes my cock to twitch, almost imperceptibly. I take a few more steps inside.
Sunlight fills the study from large, open windows to the right, and my shadow falls alongside me, trailing on the carpet and wall. Perhaps it is that movement that catches her peripheral vision, causing her to look behind her suddenly. Or perhaps she already senses my…distracting thoughts.
She smiles, blinking and rubbing her eyes. "Hey, you. What time is it?"
"A little after one. Are you hungry?"
I don't know if she catches the underlying tone of my own hunger, already starting to stir in my groin. She shrugs; looks up at me, her wide eyes giving off an air of innocence. But I know better. I smile and run my fingers down through her hair. Hearing her hum of satisfaction makes my cock twitch again. My hand moves slowly down to her neck, massaging and rubbing.
She reaches, still sitting, for my hips, to pull me closer. Her hands grasp the sides of my jeans.
"Oh. So you are hungry…" My voice is light, joking. But she hears my breathing getting ragged. Smiling still, she reaches with both hands to the zipper of my jeans.
"Ah ah…Not so fast." I take both her wrists in one hand to stop her. Even with just one hand, my fingers wrap all the way around. With my other, I reach into my pocket and bring out metal handcuffs. Our favorite.
Taking a wrist in each hand now, I put them behind her back, locking the cuffs with swift familiarity and kissing her deeply as the gears click into place. The sound has become an aphrodisiac to us.
The chains clink as she tests them; the cold metal makes her groan. Her tiny wrists are almost too big for these cuffs: the last gear still allows her to rotate her hands freely. But the cold heavy steel is hard and uncomfortable and bruises her wrists easily. She feels their weight long after they've been taken off.
She falls from the chair to her knees as I stand back up, motioning for her to continue. She takes the zipper between her teeth, staring up at me as she pulls it slowly down. There is no hiding the bulge in my jeans. My cock is already straining against its confines…knowing what is waiting on the other side of the layers of fabric.
She grips the belt now, pulling it to the side with her mouth and grunting with effort. Effort and desire. Holding back the urge to rip the belt out for her, I instead fold my arms to my chest. Finally, my cock emerges, hard and already wet with precum. Taking it in my hand, I guide it to her open, greedy mouth. I feel her soft breath on the head,
her wet tongue massaging the shaft,
her sweet slick saliva coating the skin,
her full lips kissing my balls,
her hot mouth engulfing me,
and with a throaty growl, I grab her head, her dark shining hair flowing under my palms, from between my fingers, and lunge deep into her throat. I feel her desperate attempts to reach my balls with her tongue, to lick them at the deepest point of impalement. Her choking, gagging, moaning are heavenly, feeding my energy and lust. Metal grinds on metal as her cuffed hands search for balance and stability while I force her head repeatedly back, farther back with each thrust.
It begins – that exquisite build-up, the tightening in my balls, the increasing pressure, and I fuck her throat harder and faster. All sensations merge into one, the world exists in feeling my cock pulsating in and penetrating her eager throat, fueling the heat in my loins…
"oh, fuck—"
It is eternity in seconds. Something guttural escapes my lips; my cock spasms against the walls of her throat, my seed emptying into her, she hungrily swallowing around my shaft. All the pressure erupting from my balls through my cock, rushing into her waiting mouth.
I let out a ragged breath as the world tilts.
As I soften inside her, she suckles gently, bathing me with her tongue. I withdraw slowly, savoring the warmth and gasping at the heightened sensitivity.
A kiss on her now salty lips.
The click of a key turning, of gears springing free.
Small hands rubbing thin wrists.
The rustle of clothes being smoothed.
An embrace, soft whispered words.
I glance back one last time before walking out. She's seated at her desk again, head already bowed in concentration. But I catch her tongue, flicking out along her lips, as she picks up her pen. And there is a dark ring on each of her wrists.
This is what I started, and what inspired my 3rd set of sketches. I lost interest in the writing halfway through and started drawing instead. Well, that came full circle, and looking through the sketches made me want to finish this post.
So I did.
Orgasming for the wOrld
Happy Global O Day!
I came 4 or 5 times after breakfast myself. I'm unsure of the number…after the third, they began blending and merging into a continual delirious stream of sensations. I was left gasping into my covers, feeling the energy seeping out of my body.
As promised! I went through a lot of designs, but this one…this one I really like. She…kind of looks like me. Except I do not look nearly as good with short hair, heh.
I'm trying to decide between using pencil and ink. The ink is definitely clearer…but I like the quality of the pencil lines. And I need a name. "Jada" is the only one I have so far.
I have a male character design, too, but I'm not as happy with it. I find guys a lot harder to draw, too, though, for some reason.
This song is ridiculous.
Graphic Girl
I seem to have hit a dearth of writing subjects. And desire. I got nothin' (and yet I'm still writing now). Life, admittedly, has been sluggish at best. It is 50 and breezy, foggy at night. I have yet to start holiday shopping, card making/sending, or preparing for my study abroad program. Yikes.
I feel a lot more comfortable though, being here. At a new (and old at the same time) URL. Writing the simple code for my new header reminded me of how much fun that kind of stuff is. And I feel much more at ease without the ghosts of the not-so-distant past marking the blog with their invisible presence.
I have been nurturing an idea for a while now, something I have been wanting to do but never knew quite how to get started on. A comic.
It started a couple days after I read Shon Richard's post on Inspiration. At first, I didn't think I could really relate, not being a writer myself. But after letting that statement sit and ferment in the back of my head, I thought, I'm not a writer, but I'm a visual artist, and two forms of art are never too far apart in understanding.
Soon afterwards, the idea, really the germ of an idea, of doing a comic appeared in my head, and I've been guarding it, examining it, probing it, and finally nurturing it ever since. And, what better than to center it around what I love thinking and writing about most? Domination, submission…just those two words alone provide enough potential fodder for a graphic novel. Yum.
But before I get too excited and ahead of myself and spew everything out half-conceived, there is much more to think about. Character sketches. Character history. Story lines, plots, relationships. I'm worried about feeling overwhelmed before I even start, and giving up!
If this does come to life, it will be an exciting new venture for me. It will be wholly intimate as well, displaying my work, and will also make the blog that much more personal. Because as much as I enjoy writing here, it is really visual representation and creation that I thrive on.
Perhaps this is a premature announcement, to say this all now, but perhaps it will also force me to take action more quickly, and get the ball rolling. I already have character sketches. Maybe I'll post them up sometime…
I'd also like to invite any of you, dear readers, to offer ideas as well, especially for the storyboarding part. I'm thinking loosely of it involving a heterosexual couple's discovery and journey through bdsm, and sex and debauchery (whoo!), but that's pretty vague…
