Friday 3rd October – Nottingham Contemporary and Saturday 4th October – Primary
Talking Matter
Rachel Gomme invites participants into a 1:1 dialogue conducted through both words and clay, it explores themes of body knowing and body memory.
Saturday 4th October – Primary
Collaborative Practice between studio artists – it's a lottery: Film screening & discussion
Frank Abbott will be showing a film of the Old Skool Breaks collaborative project carried out over the last year at Primary, Nottingham. Also we will give an account of the Wysing Open Studios(Cambridge) collaborative project. The synergy between those two projects, which both use a lottery procedure to pair artists, will be explored and discussed. We will look at some of the ways that the artists worked together on making exhibits. We will finish by explaining the proposed Expanded Studio Project, between the two studios, which aims to further develop this model of collaborative practice. We will look at how others can get involved with the process.
Transforming through Translation
Arlene Tucker (Finland) and Alejandra Pineda Silva (Colombia) invite you to enter into a dialogue with them on Skype in the meeting room. There you will be met by the artist or dancer for a 10 minute 1:1 session – your exchange will form the foundation for Transforming through Translation, an installation in Helsinki, Finland at Third Space from 24th-29th of November (http://www.th1rdspac3.com).
Figure Ground – Public Art Road Trip
Figure Ground are on a Public Art Road Trip, taking place over 2014-15. The idea is a mapping of art in the public realm, by artists with artists, seeing the lay of the land since the shift in funding and provision for the arts from the early 2000s to the present. In a series of short journeys which make up the 'road trip', we are meeting practitioners who have self-initiated projects or artworks that they define as public –socially engaged, participatory, public art, art in the public realm, etc. As definitions of public art evolve, we are interested in how artists articulate what work in public means, and what form that work takes. As part of In Dialogue we want to invite participating artists to come and meet us in our mobile studio for a conversation.
1) Workshop with Figure Ground – modelling your practice
2) 1:1 interviews with Figure Ground about your practice
Parallel Workshops: Session 1
Workshop A
Inter(acting) with the Inner Partner – a workshop and presentation on of a public self-dialogue discipline
Howard Lotker invites you to participate in the following workshop: (Inter)acting with the Inner Partner (IwIP) is a solo open improvisation discipline, a psychosomatic holistic path of studying and practicing the elementary dynamics of dramatic, creative, disciplined, playful and spontaneous (inter)acting in a performance situation. This process involves cultivating the personality, studying the principles of dramatic play, and developing the psychosomatic fitness needed to be present fully and creatively in public. IwIP was created in Prague by Professor Ivan Vyskočil in the dark days of Czechoslovak "normalization;" he has been developing it for over 35 years.
2 hours (with break) 12 participants
Workshop B
A brief introduction to David Bohm's 'Dialogue' and the The Art School Experience
Hester Reeve and Helen Blejerman will discuss Bohm's radical model for group thinking in an arts school context and explain the obstacles we have come across and the achievements of the groups that have run. They will share their experiences of the principles of the practice and explain how to set up group up, facilitate some taster exercises and allow for an open discussion about any issues of interest brought up for participants.
Workshop C
Gavin Rogers: 'String' workshop
This workshop explores dialogue and conversation through a temporary communal sculpture. The more traditional methods of conversation, which often depend on a range of power relationships, knowledge exchange and confidence will be tampered with to create an unusually structured yet dynamic group conversation.
Parallel Workshops: Session 2
Workshop A
Inter(acting) with the Inner Partner – a workshop and presentation on of a public self-dialogue discipline (cont.)
Workshop D
Fern Smith, Jane Trowell and Philip Ralph: Doin' Dirt Time: Performance followed by discussion
The performance is based on a transcript of an astonishing interview by internationally renowned arts commentator Suzi Gablik in her book Conversations Before the End Of Time. In "Doin' Dirt Time" Gablik speaks to Rachel Dutton and Rob Olds, two celebrated American artists who made the decision to give away all their artworks and possessions. Following the interview and an intensive study of tracking and survival skills they disappeared into the American wilderness. This powerful piece questions the role of the arts in society as the two protagonists explain their reasons for not only stepping out of the art world but also stepping out of society itself. They fundamentally question the traditional role of the artist, articulating their desire to live life as a sacred act rather than to simply document it. Doin' Dirt Time is itself an experiment in simplicity, a stripped back theatre which dispenses with the smoke and mirrors of performance in order to focus on the essentials… It uses a fascinating technique in which actors interpret verbatim recordings in real time.
Workshop E
Quotes not Notes II : A dialogue about dialogue
Fucking Good Art and Heather Connelly invite you to participate in an open discussion about the different dialogic methods, modes and practices that have been presented ways in which this term has been used during the event. All In Dialoguers will be given some index cards and asked to write down key quotes or ideas that they hear during the symposia. This session is an opportunity to share these quotes and your general ideas, thoughts on the topic and to engage in a stimulating discussion about 'dialogue' in 'dialogue' with others.

I wish teachers/choreographers these days would think about who they are trying to inspire. Grinding on the floor, cool outfits and hot tracks will earn you immediate gratification always. That's never going to change. You will get what you want: To delight in people talking about how great you are, and people saying they are inspired by you. But is that really inspiration?
It's not always the people around you or even the people your age who need inspiration and I urge you to think about this. Of course everyone talks about the kids being the future. Inspire them. Give them an imagination and tools to become successful. Teach them how to create and be confident when they do so. Show them what's really important and give them a part of yourself that is worth looking up to. This should be very obvious.
But the people I urge you to aim to inspire are those who are a little older. The people who have forgotten the magic in the world and who have been stripped of their creativity by the everyday 9 to 5. They are the parents of the new generation. The ones that will raise their kids to think the only way to succeed in this world is to get a job and make money. PLEASE inspire these people. Show them that creativity and dance isn't just "cool". It is something that simply makes people better human beings. Show them that you can be successful and retain your integrity. Show them dance is about more than sexy clothes and good lighting. Show them that dance is more than dance moves: It's a life worth living. Inspire them so when their own child says, "Mom, I want to be an artist when I grow up," or "Dad, I don't want to go to college because I want to pursue dancing," thoughts of failure aren't the first thing that come screaming into their heads. Give this new generation of adults who will raise the next generation of dancers, choreographers and artists a reason to trust their own children again.
When you aim to inspire, really think about what it means to do so. It's a heavy responsibility, but it doesn't have to be a difficult one. Keep reaching to be better.
Love, Kyle

Harmony/ Descant
Verse 1 Descant Lyrics:
Brightly shone the moon that night,
Poor man gath'ring winter fuel.
Verse 2 Descant Lyrics:
Paige and monarch forth they went,
Through the rude wind's wild lament.
Good King Wenceslas Verses 1, 3 & 5
|Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the Feast of Stephen
When the snow lay 'round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuel.
"Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine-logs hither
Thou and I shall see him dine
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather.
In his master's step he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye, who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing.

My Paper, by Peter Orszag
Hello Mr. Congressman, I have come up with this paper. I am not allowed to give opinions on legislation, so read nothing into my estimate that the federal government can likely take over Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's financial obligations at no cost to the taxpayer. So here we go:
On July 14, 2008, the Administration released a proposal that would temporarily authorize the Department of the Treasury to purchase obligations and securities of the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that deal with housing finance—the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that there is a significant chance—probably better than 50 percent—that the proposed new Treasury authority would not be used before it expired at the end of December 2009. If the proposal is enacted, private markets might be sufficiently reassured to provide the GSEs with adequate capital to continue operations without any infusion of funds from the Treasury; during that time, it is possible that expectations about the duration and depth of the housing market downturn may brighten. Under that scenario, the temporary authority would not be used and thus would involve no budgetary cost.
So, you see Mr. Congressman, a betting man says that having the taxpayer take over Freddie-Fannie's financial obligations will have…… NO COST!
In CBO's view, however, that scenario is far from the only possible result. Indeed, many analysts and traders believe that there is a significant likelihood that conditions in the housing and financial markets could deteriorate more than already reflected on the GSEs' balance sheets, and such continuing problems would increase the probability that this new authority would have to be used. Taking into account the probability of various possible outcomes, CBO estimates that the expected value of the federal budgetary cost from enacting this proposal would be $25 billion over fiscal years 2009 and 2010.
$25 billion over two years isn't that much, Mr. Congressman. Have a heart, people are losing their houses. OK, now here are my weasel-words:
CBO's estimate reflects the current budgetary treatment and existing scorekeeping conventions for federal credit assistance and equity purchases and does not necessarily measure the underlying change in the federal government's financial condition as a result of this legislation. On the one hand, the acquisition of financial assets like equities is recorded as an outlay in the budget even though such purchases may not change the government's underlying financial condition. On the other hand, even if enacting this legislation would not result in outlays over the near term, it might effectively strengthen the linkages between the GSEs and the federal government and thereby increase the government's underlying exposure to the risks associated with the GSEs' activities.
The results of CBO's analysis and its methodology are described in the attachment. In keeping with the agency's mandate to provide impartial analysis, this report makes no recommendations.
I hope that you find the analysis useful. If you have any questions about it, please contact me at (202) 226-2700.
Peter R. Orszag
p.s., just in case this thing costs $400 billion in the first six weeks of 2009, instead of the unlikely case of 'up to $25 billion in two years', don't blame me, or even ask questions. Just promote me. Thanks- Pete
Peter Orszag was nominated by President Obama and unanimously confirmed by the Senate to Head the Office of Management and Budget on the 22nd of January.

Quick reminder: today is the last day to vote for your favorite IGMS story of 2010.
There have been a bunch of super-powered TV wannabes popping out of the tube lately. As a former comic-book addict I was excited for each and every one of these shows. I love the super-hero meme; put a good origin story and a cape on it, and I AM THERE.
From Heroes to The Cape, the recent crop of meta-abled television shows have been disappointing.
It's possible I'm too familiar with the cliches of the genre—the mainstays of origin stories are boring to me now. I know that normal humans actually use more than 10% of their brains; I think that evolutionary watersheds are not likely to happen in a readily observable timeframe (from a human perspective). I'm dubious about the abilities of gamma rays, x-rays, or cosmic rays to confer anything more than radiation sickness and a slow painful death.
It's possible that Buffy Summers ruined all future TV-based super-hero stories for me in a blinding display of camp and wit. (Yes: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a super-hero) Joss Whedon can't even live up to his creation (as he showed with the dreadfully boring Dollhouse); and if Joss can't do it, is there really hope for anyone else?
I suppose it's debatable whether Dollhouse was super-hero SF or just plain SF. I shall not debate it here.
It's also possible that Hollywood (or whomever) doesn't really understand the type of story that draws people to superheroes, and that's why so many big-and-small screen versions of them fail. Will the curse that brought the X-men and Spider-man movie franchises low in their 3rd iteration carry-over to Christopher Nolan's Batman series? Remember that the 80's Batman franchise nose-dived on its 3rd title… These stories all died because of their sudden weight gain—too many antagonists, too many protagonists, and not enough time spent clarifying and building the relationships between them all. For me, NBC's Heroes was a flop because the people were all caricatures who moaned, groaned, and whined their way through their new super-powered lives. (With the exception of Hiro. If the show had been called Hiro, and featured just him, I'd have been happy.) ABC's attempt at remaking the Fantastic Four family style (No Ordinary Family) fails for a similar reason: I don't believe in this family. Fall in a lake, and get super-powers from bio-luminescent thingies, sure; but the family dynamic is unbelievable. Heck, the *individuals* are unbelievable.
Maybe it's that I've become cynical in my advanced age. I'm not sure that the glut of super-heroes flashing muscles and bespangled costumes on TV isn't just a ploy to capitalize on the upcoming Thor, Green Lantern, and Captain America movies. Like some exec is up in his office saying, "Know what's big right now? Heroes, that's what. Big heroes, with muscles and … you know, like that guy, whats-his-name, Stan Lee, used to write! Get me Jessica Alba and a script, STAT!"
The good news is that super-heroes are making a comeback in literature too. And from what I see, MUCH more successfully. While it's hard to put the same amount of visual splash into text, the super-heroes I'm reading about in short stories from James Maxey, Will Mcintosh, Ken Scholes and others pack a punch that their big-screened counterparts simply can't match.

"If man is five, if man is five, if man is five
Then the devil is six, then the devil is six
The devil is six, the devil is six and if the devil is six
Then God is seven , then God is seven, the God is seven"
–The Pixies
I've spent the last 7 years obsessing over the perfect tires for the Col De Crush descent. I have 7 pair of Incredisocks with the Crusher mountain goat logo, to get mixed up in my sock drawer so I never have a matching pair. I have 7 different event t-shirts with signature Crusher themed artwork (The "Rush" logo is still my fave). They say 7 is a lucky number, so I was feeling good about my form and experience, and was hoping to better my PR time of 4 hours and 38 minutes from 2015. 2016 was a rather unlucky year for me, having flatted a front tubular that just wouldn't seal up with sealant and CO2. Then again, some people think 13 is an unlucky number, and I camped in Little Cottonwood campsite number 13. Little Cottonwood campground is, you guessed it, 7 miles up canyon from the starting line in downtown Beaver. I obsess over the numbers, sometimes looking for meaning where there is none.
While we are on the topic of numbers, here are some straight-up numbers relative to the bike that I rode for year number 7. I rode an Assos Limited Edition Open UPPER, almost exactly the setup I used at my first DK200 this year, where I finished 13th.
40: number of teeth on Easton EC90 SL front chainring
9: number of teeth on bottom cog of the e*thirteen cogset
11: number of cogs on e*thirteen rear cassette
46: number of teeth on largest cog
0: number of times I planned on using the largest cog
175: length in mm of the Easton EC90 carbon cranks
70: capacity in ounces of Cotopaxi hydration pack I wore
27.5: diameter of DT Spline wheels
2.1: width of Schwalbe Racing Ralph tires, front and rear
24: pressure in psi, front and rear
16.5: weight in pounds of bike as described with Crank Bros Candy 11 pedals, but without seat pack and bottles.
The group of riders who have towed the line at every Crusher since the first gets smaller every year. I am sure it will be shrink again, as we approach the Hateful 8, but I'm also pretty sure I'll be part of that group.

[Jer 42:2-4 KJV] 2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, [even] for all this remnant; (for we are left [but] a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:) 3 That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do. 4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare [it] unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
I sit here to write this post with a very heavy heart. My heart aches for the families of this nation. I learned today that a young wife, married just nearly a year, left her husband without warning, just telling him she doesn't love him any more. I also learned that a young woman with many troubles left her family with no word, no note, just disappeared. These are just two examples of the things happening all around us. I do not share these examples to be judgmental of either of these individuals because I am not walking in their shoes. I can't say what they are thinking or what led to the actions they took. I share these examples to say this; God ordained the family! It is not His desire for families to face these attacks, yet He allows these attacks. Nothing happens to us that God doesn't allow.
What do we do when we see families under attack?
Do we join the gossip mill sharing that this wife left her husband? Do we air their problems to the world for them? Do we judge her and not look at him? What about the young woman who walked out of her parent's house with no note or word that she is fine? How do we REACT to what we see happening all around us? I believe our first reaction should be to turn to Scripture and prayer. Lift these families up. Our prayers can make a difference! Everyone has hard times and times of confusion, but if we are showing these people the Love of Christ, we are lifting them in prayer. I had thought about writing a different post today, but there is an urgency to cover our marriages and our children in prayer. Put on the garments of prayer and hold your loved ones a little bit closer to you. Do not become lax and complacent in your prayers for your family because your neighbor's troubles today, could become your troubles tomorrow!
Spiritual Battles – Mirror Reflections
The things that are happening here on earth are happening in the heavens. It is a mirror reflection. There is a spiritual battle taking place, a battle for our families. Hear the battle cry. Put on the armor of God and get on the front lines for your family, both immediate and congregational. Do not be quick to judge but quick to love! Judgment may come in the morning, but right now, pray God's mercy, peace, and protection over your families!
Closing Prayer
Our most gracious, merciful, heavenly Father, I lift up my own family and every family to you now. I thank you for instituting family, for putting us together. I thank you that you love us enough to allow us to hit rough patches in the road that slingshot us back onto the right path. Thank you for guiding our steps. Father, I ask you to bring reconciliation to the family. So many are facing separation of what YOU put together. For those of us who are on the outside looking in, may we not look with eyes of judgment, but eyes of mercy and grace. Lord, I ask you to have mercy on these families. Bring them back together. Restore their love for one another and make it even stronger than before. Please, Father, place a hedge of protection around the family unit. Please do not allow any attacks against it to penetrate its borders. Lord, we recognize marriage as a holy space, as well as parenthood. We ask you to help us protect our borders of these holy spaces. Please, do not allow the enemy to breach these borders. Please move on the hearts of those who left to come back home. Please move on the hearts of those who were hurt by the leaving to be forgiving and allow restoration to take place. In Jesus name. Amen!


text: One of our trips took us to the village of Tenganan, which is walled in and where locals are only allowed to marry within the village. It is famous for its ikat weaving, a laborious process where the design of the weave is dyed onto the threads before they are woven. I can't even imagine how they do it, but the effect is gorgeous. Needless to say I bought some pieces while I was there and you can see photos of them here. We then wandered around the village and soaked up the atmosphere. An earlier downpour meant that is was very atmospheric and misty.

The L'Oreal Warehouse Sale is in Toronto again… and it started today! Guess who was lucky enough to go on the first day?
I haven't been to the L'Oreal sale for a while because the tickets are hard to come by! You have to know someone because the tickets go to friends and family only for the most part.
I didn't plan to buy too much to be honest… but somehow this ended up being my haul.
Surprisingly, there weren't many people although this may be because I went in the day time. They still had a lot of stock of almost everything (except their vibrating mascara). There were a ton of Polo and Armani perfumes, Maybelline makeup, L'Oreal hair products/makeup, Garnier wipes and hair, Vichy, La Roche Posay, Biotherm… and a small selection of Essie, Shu Uemura and Kiehl's.
I didn't know that L'Oreal owned Essie!!! They were $6 each and all the colours were so nice, so of course I grabbed a few! I also got a L'Oreal French tip. Except for the dark purple and the grey, all of them look absolutely summer ready!
Although there was no tester, my sharp eyes zoomed in upon Essie's all in one top and base coat and of course picked one up! I've never used an all in one, but I have Essie's base coat at home that I use and it works pretty well so I have faith in this product.
Next, I went crazy over Shu Uemura. I got the Reindeer Kiss and Graceful Bloom palettes that I wanted so badly last year but never got because it was too expensive! I also picked up two lip glosses from the same Takano collaboration in "Love Apricot" and "Harmony Pink"
I also picked up my upcoming new skincare regiment: anti-aging for the day and whitening at night! Whoohoo! I've used the Primordiale night cream before and I quite liked it, so the day cream is exciting! This will come once I'm done using my stuff from the Shiseido warehouse sale last time.
As mother's day is coming up, I got some souvenirs for the mother as well. The L'Oreal lipsticks were only $3 each and they still had the nice colours!
I also got the Garnier face wipes (because who doesn't want handy wipes) and Ombrelle sunscreen. Doesn't feel like I bought a lot, but they really add up! Back to the saving game… -___-

Map 27. The path crosses a farmer's field just north of the railway bridge to the north of Goring, just before Little Stoke House. This can have cows and calves and sometimes a bull which can make the situation uncomfortable for walkers so some walkers have recommended walking inland to reach a FP and detour around.
Map 43. The left turn in Barn Wood above Wendover can be obscured by the numerous forestry working tracks and lack of signpost. Be careful to check this turning.
Map 48. Coming down off Ivinghoe Beacon, if staying at Town Farm, there is a FP not shown in the book which avoids having to use the (dangerous) road - it goes approx SW from the crossing with the lane (Beacon Road) and then turns 90 degrees to go NW to the farm. From the farm entrance there is also a pavement all the way into the village, so potentially anyone wanting to go to the village and avoid the dangerous road could find this helpful as well. For those camping at the farm, the owner allows people to take a short cut over the fields into the village.

Winterworld will be developed as a limited event live-action series for the Xbox platform.
Based on the comic by writer Chuck Dixon and artist Jorge Zaffino, the series will be co-produced by IDW Entertainment and Xbox Entertainment Studios.
Winterworld follows surviving humans who form tribes that war and enslave in an apocalyptic future where Earth has frozen over.
Dixon said: "To see my stories and Jorge's powerful images brought to life will be a serious thrill. We have the right partners and the right format to really make this something special.
"It's an exciting time in comics and in entertainment overall, and I am very pleased that Winterworld will be a part of it."
IDW Entertainment president David Ozer added: "Xbox is recognised globally for their groundbreaking creativity. IDW Entertainment could not ask for a better partner to bring Winterworld to life.
"We are thrilled to be working with them during this exciting time in their growth."
Meanwhile, live-action adaptations of Fable and Gears of War are currently rumoured to be in the early stages of development for Xbox.

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12185 --- Comment #8 from Michael Kay <firstname.lastname@example.com> 2011-04-23 18:24:16 UTC --- Responding to comment #4, in particular: Q1: You don't say so explicitly, but I understand you to be thinking of a pair of complex types B and R each of which has a content model including the top-level 'chap'. But in that case, the Conditional Type Substitutable rules will have no objection. A1: I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking of, but it might have been this: a complex type B that allows a sequence of chap elements whose element declaration is akin to that of element chap in my original example, and a complex type R that allows a sequence of chap elements whose element declaration (necessarily local) is akin to that of element appendix in my original example. I think this is the situation in which (under the status quo) we discover at "validation time" that R is not a valid restriction of B. But I might be wrong - I'm writing this without re-reading the rules, which is probably not a good idea. Q2: A second comment, on a side point. The bug description says it's very unsatisfactory that problems with the schema should be detected during instance validation. It may be unsatisfactory to find schema errors at instance validation time (it doesn't bother me much, but I agree that it does bother some intelligent observers), but violations of Conditional Type Substitutable are not defined as problems with the schema; A2: I'm not saying that the spec says it's a problem with the schema. I'm saying that in practice, it's going to be the schema that has to be fixed. Just as if you define an assertion that's always false, the schema is technically correct but in practice unusable; anyone who discovers this is going to complain to the author of the schema. I'm concerned with the practicality, not with the letter of the law. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.Received on Saturday, 23 April 2011 18:24:19 UTC

Surely you understand. You've wanted to feel that control, that helplessness too, haven't you? Be honest with yourself, as I finally am honest with myself. You want to be in a position where your body is totally helpless, where you can't see what is happening, where you can only feel what an unseen hand or an unseen mouth is doing to your helpless body. You're aching to shiver with the expectation and the need, with lust and sexual tension, yet never to be aware what will happen until the hand fondles your balls and massages your abdominal muscles or a tongue circles your throbbing, dripping dick or licks your erect nipples. Helpless and at the total control of another beautiful male. Totally turned on, totally helpless, a mindless, instinctive need.
He was my next-door neighbor. He lived alone. He was blatantly sexual, lying naked in bed by his open window, which faced my own bedroom window. My lights were out. I watched. His lights were on. He displayed himself. His face was hidden, but his full, sensuous body was displayed in front of the fully lighted double window as he masturbated. He would flex his beautiful muscles, fondle his nipples, fondle his balls and massage his body with one hand as the other brought his erect manhood to a full, magnificent orgasm. His body would shiver, stiffen and with a lurch of muscular lust would release his full load of cum onto his stomach and chest. Then one hand would slowly work on the softening penis, while the other took the white splashes of cum onto his fingers, drawing them up out of sight to his mouth. When his body was in effect licked clean, he would turn off the overhead light, but leave a spotlight on to display his body throughout the night. Never his face, only his beautiful body. I understood. He needed to display himself openly without seeing who might be watching.
Every day he came over to talk, but would make no eye contact. Instead, he looked at my body, licking his lips. His eyes lusted over my bare chest as I mowed the lawn, he stared at the bulging crotch hiding my half-erect penis, and panted over my bare, hairy legs, as I trimmed the hedge. He needed to work on my body while I could not watch, only endure it helplessly. I came to understand then that I needed this, too. I needed to be helpless while a man took sexual advantage of my helpless body. The thought of a man working on my helpless body sent shivers of lust through my body and sent blood surging to my penis. I knew now this was what I needed, what I wanted, and what I craved desperately.
After days of this nonverbal interaction, knowing he desired my body but could not bear either to look at my eyes or verbalize this desire, I formulated a plan. The local hardware store had a small doghouse, with an entrance just big enough to admit my head. A small pillow would raise my head enough to completely hide my face and eyes. Small holes on the side allowed me to fasten leather cuffs to fasten my hands and arms to the sides of the doghouse. Though these were loose enough to draw my hands through, this would not be obvious with fingers splayed to indicate the abject helplessness that I craved so badly. Everything was tested in the garage secretly and worked perfectly. I prepared stakes with leather ankle restraints to fasten my legs spread wide to make my body more helpless. My penis dripped as I measured carefully to be sure the restraints were exactly right to totally hold and restrain, but not be uncomfortable.
Later that day, as I worked at weeding the flower beds and talked with my neighbor, I casually mentioned that I would be getting a pet that afternoon that would be chained to a small doghouse visible from his house, but shielded from all other observation by my house and its hedges. When he left, I set up the doghouse, measured and set the ankle restraints and spread a blanket to lie on. I removed my clothes, lying naked on the blanket, and fastened the leather restraints around my ankles, spreading my muscular, hairy legs far apart. I arranged the pillow, stuck my head into the doghouse. With the pillow lifting my head, I could see nothing. Last, I inserted my hands through the leather wrist restraints. My body shivered with anticipation, as I flexed my muscular frame. My penis was by now fully erect and oozing the lubrication of sexual excitement. I waited.
Within a few minutes, I heard footsteps coming through the hedge, entering the yard. I flexed and released my muscles, as my erect penis throbbed. What would he do? I was totally helpless. Would he just look and make all of my efforts wasted? The footsteps stopped beside the doghouse, as my body shivered with lust and need. A sound, not definable. Was he getting down onto the grass? I could feel the pre-cum dribbling down the shaft of my erect penis. The first sensation I felt was a cold chain dragging across my chest, then a slight, but stimulating pain as my nipples were clamped. My penis throbbed and another drip ran down the shaft. I felt a tongue gently lick the drips up, licking up my erect penis to the throbbing, engorged head. Another drop began to run down the shaft, but was similarly licked up. My muscles shivered with lust and anticipation.
Then, I felt hands rubbing sensuously along my muscular, hairy legs - gentle, loving, stimulating hands. My muscles shivered with the wild stimulation of my total lack of visual clues and the resulting helplessness. The hands were massaging my left foot. My ankles strained within the restricting leather, the leg muscles flexing and rippling, as a sensuous tongue began licking my feet and lips began sucking my toes. The erect penis again throbbed and a drop of sticky lubrication slid down the head of my penis and started down the shaft. My helpless body shuddered with the pleasure of the sensuous foot massage.
Then the right foot felt the damp caresses of a human tongue, as gentle hands felt and fondled the foot, I was panting with lust by now, completely helpless and in the control of this unseen male presence. My arm muscles flexed, and I moaned in pleasure as I felt bare knees work their way between my legs and hands fondling, feeling and massaging the muscles of my legs. Incredibly stimulating and sensuous!
Again, a tongue licked my erect male organ, cleaning up the drops of lubrication. It throbbed in response, releasing even more, and I felt lips and a tongue surround the head of my penis to get every precious drop of my male lubrication. My chest shivered from the pain of the clamped nipples. The chain was tightened, and the nipples stretched in an agony of stimulation that caused further drips of lubrication to appear on my erect male organ.
I could do nothing to stimulate the sexual release that I needed so badly. I was helpless. My aching nipples would get no release. The body was helpless and under the total control of this male. I gasped as a hand squeezed my scrotum. My penis throbbed with need, dripping even more, and a mouth took it in, savoring every drop of the precious lubrication, stimulating the male organ attached to the helpless male body to yearn more strongly for its sexual release.
I was gasping for breath. My clamped, aching nipples were causing shudders of sexual excitement to ripple through my chest and abdominal muscles. My legs flexed and begged for the release of the sexual fluids. The buttocks muscles flexed and raised the penis even farther, as the mouth sucked on it. Then, suddenly the nipple clamps were released, and all stimulation stopped. My nipples throbbed from the sudden return of full circulation and begged for more sexual stimulation. But I could not see them or fondle them. I was helpless.
My body shuddered with need, begging for sexual release, but the body was helpless to provide that release. My body was totally under the control of the unseen male, the erect penis begging with need and lust for the stimulation of its surface to cause the throbbing release of the sexual fluids. But no touch came. I moaned with lust and need, but I was helpless to supply it. I could only wait for the release to be supplied by the stimulation of another man. My body panted with lust and the need for sexual release.
After minutes of this waiting, as my erect organ throbbed and dripped with need, I again felt the touch of a male tongue, this time in my right armpit. My body shivered from the unexpected pleasure of this stimulation. The tongue ran up my flexing muscles, licking them, moistening them, kissing them. All the way to my helpless hand, the tongue licked and fondled. Then lips began to enclose and suck my thumb and fingers, making my whole body shiver with pleasure and need. Hands fondled my fingers, my hand and my arm as lips sucked on them. Suddenly, an erect, damp penis was sliding against my fingers, and my hand circled around the damp shaft of the male organ, as it slid back and forth, clasped lovingly in my wet hand. He had taken pity on my helplessness, and was letting me feel his manhood. My body shuddered with desire and my own erect, engorged penis throbbed and released more of its lubrication.
Then the right arm and hand were released, and that wonderful male organ was taken out of my hand. I nearly sobbed with the loss of the exquisite feeling. A few seconds passed, and I felt toes working in my left armpit, as hands again began fondling and rubbing my left arm. Lips worked to stimulate and dampen my flexing arm muscles, and a tongue licked its way up my arm, sucking on my elbow, kissing my hand, then individually sucking each finger, the tongue licking the palm of my hand, the hands kneading and fondling my trembling arm muscles. Again without warning, all stimulation ceased. My muscles trembled with need. My penis dripped with lust and desire. My leg muscles flexed and released.
I heard feet moving in the grass, then felt feet slide under my thighs, the toes fondling and stimulating my thigh muscles. My legs quivered with the stimulation. What was this man going to do to my helpless body? My penis continued to throb with lust and need, my abdominal muscles flexing and relaxing, my breath coming in gasps.
Suddenly, I heard a low grunt and moan, and felt wetness striking my chest and stomach. Then I understood. This male had to dominate my body by releasing his seed over my helpless body as he masturbated. The last drops of his cum fell directly onto my throbbing penis, and the bush of hair surrounding it. My penis throbbed with this wonderful feeling, but I was helpless to do anything about it.
Then, the male body moved, the feet leaving my thighs, and again I had no idea what was coming, my body trembling with lust and helplessness. Without warning, the chain again brushed my chest and my nipples were pinched and clamped in sweet agony. This caused my erect male organ to throb and throb again, releasing a drop of the precious lubrication with each throb, and I felt a tongue licking up the wet spots on my stomach and chest, cleaning the male cum off of my helpless body. My body was shivering and shuddering with sexual need under this tongue stimulation and the thought of this male's need to lick up his own cum.
I felt a leg on either side of my chest, and feet were placed in my helpless armpits. A still erect penis and male scrotum was brushing my chest, causing surges of lust to shiver through my body. Then I felt a tongue cleaning my throbbing penis, licking the hair around the base to get up all of the waiting cum. My penis was placed over a shoulder, and a tongue licked my balls clean of the puddled cum. As the shoulder moved, it stimulated the shaft of my penis wildly, and my male organ continued to throb and drip helplessly. My balls were being licked and fondled, sucked and loved, driving my helpless body wild with sexual need.
Suddenly, the mouth left my balls and I felt the tongue again licking my erect, dripping penis. Each drop of lubrication was licked up, as the tongue worked its way around my manhood. Then the stimulation of my erect penis stopped, and it throbbed untouched. The toes gently worked in my armpits, and the male organs brushed my chest as the male body moved slowly. The legs and knees clamped my helpless chest. My penis throbbed again, but remained untouched. I could feel a drop of lubrication again begin to slide down the shaft of my penis. In a helpless agony of lust, I could only pant with the exquisite pain of the clamps on my nipples, the raging lust and need in my erect penis, and wait for something to happen. The thought of the total helplessness of my body again sent shivers of lust through my muscles and a shudder of sexual need to my legs and torso. But I was helpless to satisfy that need in any way. Completely controlled, completely helpless.
I felt fingers brush my chest where the male penis had been gently moving. The scrotum began sliding back and forth on my chest. He must be masturbating again as he watches my penis throb and drip. The exciting thought of a man jacking off as he watched my helpless, engorged penis caused another drop of pre-cum to ooze out the slit and begin its journey down the shaft of my penis. The scrotum on my chest moved faster, then began retracting, and left contact with my chest. Within seconds, I felt the hot splashes of cum strike my erect penis and run down the shaft. The thought of a man's hot cum dripping down my penis was exciting beyond belief. I thought I would surely ejaculate involuntarily from that intoxicating thought and the feeling of the hot, male cum running down the shaft of my penis. But the climax did not come. My penis throbbed. My buttocks flexed and released, raising my penis a little with each flexing of these well-developed muscles.
The last drops of the male ejaculation dripped onto my stomach. My penis ached with the need for release. The body controlling me again shifted, and I felt a tongue licking up the cum that had puddled on my stomach. The tongue felt wonderful as it slowly fondled and licked my abdominal muscles. My body was panting with lust and need, made even greater by this abdominal stimulation. The muscles of my chest and stomach shivered with the sexual need of the body. The leg muscles shivered in sympathy with the muscles the tongue was stimulating so sexually. But my penis throbbed with unfulfilled lust and still felt no hand, no tongue to stimulate the release of the stored male fluids.
The tongue finished the licking and fondling of my abdomen, and without warning a mouth enclosed my penis, slid it fully in past the sucking lips and tongue and forced the throbbing organ deeper until it passed the constricted area at the back of the mouth and slid down the begging throat. Every inch of my penis was now feeling the stimulation of mouth and throat, and lips were working at the base of the penis as a nose felt and nuzzled my balls. My body shuddered with the wonderful, sexual feeling of total control, and I had to pant heavily to get the air that my body and muscles were crying out for. The total envelopment of my penis was driving my body wild. I could feel the release or orgasm coming, and my scrotum contracted, pulling my balls up tightly.
I panted and grunted with the ecstasy of the rapidly approaching orgasm, and as the first surge of cum shot through my engorged penis, the mouth withdrew halfway so the tongue could feel and taste the cum shooting into the sucking mouth, as a hand grasped the shaft of the hard penis and began jacking it rapidly. My grunts turned to a loud, involuntary, high-pitched groan and cry of utter, orgasmic ecstasy, as my penis experienced a spasm of incredible, blissful release with every surge of cum that shot through it. My last thought was that this was absolutely the most wonderful, sensuous orgasm I had ever had, before everything faded away and I lost consciousness.
When I awoke, had I been out for a minute? Or for hours? I had never passed out with an orgasm before! There was no sound, and no stimulation. Apparently he had left. Then, with my brain working again without the sexual overload, I realized what had happened. I had used up all of the oxygen in the damned doghouse with my exhausting, panting orgasm, and the excess of carbon dioxide had caused me to pass out. Well, that was easily remedied - just drill a couple more holes under the eaves of the doghouse on each side to allow a little more air circulation.
Anyway, later that afternoon as I worked in the garden, my neighbor came over and shyly said he'd noticed my new pet. Then he said he might like to get a pet too.
"Pets can be awfully expensive, especially when you have to keep them chained up and helpless. You're welcome to play with my pet any time!"
"Thanks!" He smiled as he gazed hungrily at my bulging crotch. We understood each other completely.

Orphs of the Woodlands is a series of adventure books begining with The Treasure of High Tower. It is a cliff hanging suspense filled twaddle free, vocabulary rich story. It is designed to be an adventure story built around a full curriculum. It is the first of a series of books. The curriculum covered in the book is divided up into over 300 lessons!
As we have progressed through the book it reminds me of the quality and calibre of a G.A. Henty novel. The designers have done a brilliant job of seemlessly marrying curriculum learning within a well told story.
What we received
A subscription to Orphs of the Woodlands Book one The Treasure of High Tower for three students. The book is 375 pages long.
How we used it
Signing up to Orphs of the Woodlands was very easy via their subscription page. You create an account using your name, email address and password. This is the parent account. Once you have paid you can log in and redeem your student accounts. Each student account uses the same email address as the parent account but uses a different password chosen by you.
The story is written for a strong grade four reader up to and including grade seven. Nathaniel is not reading at that level yet so we logged in each day and I read the book to him. Each time we saw a hyper linked word we would click on it and read the pop up box.
There is so much to the book the easiest way to describe it to you is by way of the following screenshots.
To start each chapter we would login and be taken straight to the secret journal page which gives the student a summary of where they are in the story. The program auto remembers where they are in the book when they log off.
In the skills report area you can see the eight learning areas that are covered in Orphs of the Woodlands. As the student completes jobs they are paid. Pay rates are indicated in the shield. All pay rates start at six gold stars and pay increases happen as the student improves their skill set in the particular area. The chevrons indicate how far through the job list the student has progressed. Each category is hyper-linked to the job area where students can re-watch lessons or do the jobs that are available. Jobs are only released to the student upon completing a chapter of reading.
There are no second chances. If a student completes their training and decides to proceed and do the job and then get the answer wrong there is zero pay and the cross is highlighted. If the learning is successful and the students answers the question correctly then the tick is highlighted.
Once you click continue you are then taken to the job area. Select the skill are you want to work on and then the job board appears. For example here in the language area there are 11 jobs to do. The student can then choose which job they would like to do first. They are paid immediately upon completing a job correctly. We have both loved the creativity of the job lists in the various skill sets. Every single chapter is different.
Here is a sample of a job. Each job is in the form of a multiple choice answer. You click on Get Paid to see if you have selected the correct answer each time.
Prof. Forp loves to teach the students and he encourages the students to learn New Information Daily. You can watch a sample of his lesson on Science Lesson: pH and Math: The decimal point point on YouTube. You can access lessons within the chapter as you read or you can wait until you go to do a job and watch the video in your training.
One of our favourite lessons in the book are the life skills lessons. They involve practicle life skills. Here is one of the first ones we did. This inspired Nathaniel to go outside and pick leaves to try and create his own special brew.
We're loving the latin phrases used through out and a little bird tells me they are working on adding audio of the phrases so that the students can practice reading the phrases correctly.
For the Parent
- Regular emails updating you of your students progress. The email contains a summary of what the student has accomplished in the chapter (lessons completed correctly) and what they will be learning or doing in the next chapter.
- Emails explaining the concepts behind different jobs in the different areas.
- Notes explaining how to use different parts of the program equipping your to get the full benefit of StarToaster.com
- Log in and select a student, from there you can click through and view their skills page and see their progress at a glance.

Connect with Star Toaster
I am impressed with the Support team at Star Toaster, they were professional and prompt in answering any questions I had. We had a few technical issues and they helped me within an hour of contacting them.
We have not completed the book yet and are looking forward to working our way to adopting and caring for all the Orphs at Ivythwaite. When I asked Nathaniel what his favourite part was he replied that he couldn't choose any one thing as he LOVED everything.
One of the things that impressed me most so far in our journey through The Treasure of High Tower is the fact that personal character plays an important role in the formation of the story. Excellent choices equal excellent role models to grow with.
We are looking forward to enjoying the next instalment of Orphs of the Woodlands. The Treasure of High Tower would make an excellent summer reading program or a wonderful family enrichment online schooling supplement.

Arriving home from a short holiday in Dingle, Lily Crossways makes a staggering discovery – on one of her photos taken on 'Inch' beach, a woman's desperate face is staring directly at her. Yet Lily knows she was alone that day on the beach.
Who is she, is she even real, and why has she appeared to Lily?
Unable to let the woman go, Lily makes the uncharacteristic decision to leave behind her safe world in England and return to Dingle to try and find her. Her search eventually leads her to cafe owner David Carson, this woman's brother, who hasn't seen his 'missing' sister in five years.
Lily must now convince him to trust in her, taking bold steps to prove herself to him, and together track down his sister before it's too late.
Yet are either prepared for the hidden secrets they are about to uncover in their earnest desire to find her, and the impact it will have on those they love?
Lily Crossways lives a controlled, uninteresting life where she keeps a tight rein on everything to ensure she never experiences hurt or disappointment. But the problem with this is that Lily never experiences anything at all. So when she returns from a short holiday in Dingle, which made her begin to question her choices, to find an image of a woman in one of her photographs, Lily knows that she must find out who this stranger is. Because there was no one else on that beach that day, and Lily feels a strange connection to this haunting woman. Going against her usual rigid control, Lily returns to Dingle to try and solve this mystery. But when she meets David, things will never be the same again. With plenty of intrigue and suspense, INTO THE SHADOWS by Marie Jones is an enjoyable read which catches the essence of Dingle perfectly, while keeping the reader gripped with the storyline. While Lily got on my nerves at certain times, I still really enjoyed the characters and their development. Overall, INTO THE SHADOWS by Marie Jones is well worth a read if you like an intriguing mystery in a beautiful setting.
Author Bio:
My passion for writing and creating stories began from a young age, where I loved nothing more than writing stories into my special A4 lined exercise book.
I remember my English teacher reading out one of my stories to the whole class and encouraging me to keep writing. Later in life, I went on to study creative writing at evening class.
My favourite place to write is in my lounge when the house is quiet and my kids are out (though have learnt to write around noise!).
I have always been an avid reader from the first moment I could read, and some of my favourite authors are Kate Moreton, Santa Montefiore, Philippa Gregory, and Nicholas Sparks to name a few. Any book that grips me, will always pull me in.
Around writing and family life, I also work part time as a Teaching Assistant at a local primary school, every day encouraging the budding talent of our future writers.
I'm married, and we have two gorgeous children. I'm loving being in my 40s and highly recommend it!
My other passions include photography, travelling and pencil drawing. I ran my own photography business for a few years and had my photos exhibited.
I've been fortunate enough to visit many countries around the world, yet Ireland still remains one of my all time favourite countries. What an amazing world, full of God's beauty and creation, we live in...
Whether I am writing stories, photographing or drawing, everyday men and women with all their amazing complexities will always fascinate and inspire me. For more information:

2015 Missoula Budget Hikes Property Taxes by 2.8 Percent, Fees by 3 Percent
The city of Missoula has passed its fiscal year 2015 budget and Chief Administrative officer Bruce Bender says nearly two-thirds of that budget will go towards one type of expenditure.
"The main issue in the budget was to fund wage increases for the union employees: police and fire, street, waste water, and then also an increase for the non-union [employees]," Bender said. "These contracted, or prior-negotiated agreements are the biggest burden on the city."
It was also revealed that a proposed Public Safety and Justice special taxing district had been successfully protested by Missoula property owners. Now, the city needs to find 300,000 dollars in order to cooperate with Department of Justice requests regarding the handling of sexual assault cases. Bender says the city hopes growth in the tax base will be enough to make good with the Department of Justice.
"We'll try to manage that internally within the [Missoula Police Department] budget and then we'll look for other funding sources," Bender said. "One of the things is that we'll be looking for the opportunity when we get our final tax numbers in august, so if our tax numbers are a little higer we can put some of the extra money towards those purposes, but we will fulfill our obligations toward the Department of Justice."
City councilman Adam hertz was one of two votes against the budget. He says the city has its priorities out of order.
"The city council and Mayor have passed a budget that has increased sidewalk funding by $200,000, they've hired a conservation land management research specialist at about $40,000 a year, another worker for the Office of Neighborhoods at $33,000 a year, and a lobbyist for $30,000 a year," Hertz said. "They're just funding a lot of non-essential city services, while, at the same time telling the taxpayers that we need to pay more in order to fund the essential city services like police and fire. I think it's just the wrong set of priorities."
The new budget increases property taxes in the city of Missoula by 2.8 percent and increases service fees for a multitude of things including fire inspections and subdivision reviews by three percent.

McMobil project will make life difficult
To the Editor:
This letter is regarding the development of the property at 1338 E. 53rd St., Chicago. As a nearby resident, it is my opinion that a building of this size and at this location will cause a major increase in area congestion and make street parking extremely difficult.
Fifty-third Street is not an easy street to cross at this time and it will be much more difficult to cross with the added traffic congestion. This will be particularly true for the children attending the Murray Elementary School across the street.
The planned 218 on-site parking spaces for 267 dwelling units and 30,000 square feet of ground floor retail space is totally inadequate. The developers should consider reducing the size of the building and increasing the ratio of building parking spaces to dwelling units and retail space.

NCLR President demands correction from Hannity
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Last night, we noted that Sean Hannity claimed the National Council of La Raza "has called for Mexico to annex southwestern states."
That isn't true, and today, NCLR president Janet Murguía blasted Hannity in a letter to Fox Executive Vice President John Moody:
NCLR has never made the statement and does not support the views Mr. Hannity attributes to us, as even a cursory review of our public statements or website would substantiate. Such conspiracy theories would be silly if they were not so often used to create fear and distrust of all Hispanics living in America. While Mr. Hannity is well within his rights to disagree with the views of our organization, he is not entitled to lie about us. In light of this, we are asking in the strongest terms possible for an immediate on-air correction.
