So you guys know that I have a lot of sites that I'm a member of, and I tend to pick sites that have a lot of videos for me to jerk off to. It also helps out when I have a cock buddy of mine over for some wanking over porn. The Sean Cody site has to be one of those at the top of my list. They have a great mix of jerk-off videos and plenty of other action when their guys start to experiment with other dudes too. Straight guys like Matt!

Matt is a gorgeous and confident jock with an awesome body. I love the splash of fur he has across his chest, and that cock is pretty delicious – long and juicy, and with a hot bell end that you'd really want to spend some time playing with.
He's from the archives of the site, and I can't think how long ago it was that he arrived to jerk-off in this video. But since then he's been back plenty of time, stroked his dick with another guy, fed a dude his shaft, sucked his first cock, fucked his first man ass and taken his first shaft up his virgin fuck hole too. Checking out his page, there are 17 videos this dude has appeared in!
I guess he found out that he wasn't 100% straight after all, and when you see that jock cock unloading plenty of cum with some of those guys you'll wonder just how long he's been waiting to get some man on man action! lol
But this is all about the jock jerk-off as Matt shows everything off and flexes his muscles, slicking up his hard cock with slippery lube and stroking the hot jizz from his balls – twice.
That's something else that makes this site one of the best for me – when they get a new straight guy jerking his meat on the site for the first time, they usually film two cock stroking sessions and add them together, meaning we get an extra long wank with two hot squirts of ball juice!

One Response to Matt – Straight Guy Jerk-Off
i guess there are a lot of guys who call themselves straight like me who also like to show off and stroke cock with other guys? i always thought i was strange for wanting to show guys my cock and see them hard and enjkoying theirs too. but thanks to this site i now know that i am not so strange after all. in my country this kind of thing is not normal i think. i want it to be though.

F-100 Truck Of The Year 2005
Written by on August 1, 2005 Rick Clutter's '56 Ford F-100When we first arrived at Chilhowee Park in Knoxville, Tennessee, we started searching for the F-100 that we felt would be the SuperNationals F-100 of 2005. When we saw this House of Kolor Spanish Gold '56 F-100 we immediately recognized that we were looking at a very strong contender for the top F-100 truck award. Shortly thereafter we discovered that last February, this well-detailed '56 Ford pickup was a Ridler Great Eight Finalist at Autorama 2005 in Detroit. We also learned that Jordan Quintal of Super Rides by Jordan in Escondito, California, performed the four-year construction of a custom chassis and complete ground-up build for Rick Clutter from design drawings by designer/builder Chip Foose. All the expertly designed and fabricated details indicated that we were examining one of the finest F-100s on earth--and that no expense was spared on the extensive body and chassis modifications.
Our humble prediction came true several days later at the end of the Ford Family SuperNationals' awards ceremony on Saturday evening. The reason given for such an exhaustive effort was an endless love of hot rods and custom trucks. We're grateful Mr. Rick Clutter of Lancaster, California, was kind enough to allow us to share our photographs with CCT readers. The bar has been raised significantly higher for future attempts to build a better Ford F-100 custom classic truck.

Product Technologies and Benefits:
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.
- Heavily Certified: Kraus has gone to great lengths to be able to provide you, the homeowner, the rest-easy satisfaction knowing that your faucet is certified and listed by all the major product testing boards in the U.S. and Canada. This means that this faucet is deemed safe to use and that it meets all applicable building codes. Certifications and listings include: UPC, cUPC, CSA, IAPMO, ANSI and SCC.

Turntable rpms control
Hi all,
I want to construct turntable`s speed controller. This turntable is Unitra G-602 (made in Poland in 198x for USSR) and it uses 6v DC motor. Unitra`s native speed controller has a tachometer feedback, but stability is not good. I wonder, may I use controller without feedback? And which of them is much better in this case? Thanks |

As a simple DC motor never gives fixed speeds, you'll need a speed controller with feedback, be it a tacho generator, an opto-electronic device or something like that. Otherwise you'll have to use a step motor, driven by a constant frequency generator.
Best regards! |

Thank you for reply, so now I have questions about tachometer.
Native controller uses photoresistor, little lamp and disk with holes on the motor shaft between them. Photoresistor is connected to stabilized voltage source. As I understand it, photoresistor gives impulses, which should be converted into voltage, and this voltage should control motor. (comparator). But which form of signal gives photoresistor? And how to convert this signal into voltage, proportional to frequency? Thank you. |

Not necessarily, Michael!
This is what I meant with 'opto-electronic device'. The photosensor gives impulses of a certain frequency at a certain speed. Compare this with a fixed frequency, e.g from a x-tal oscillator, and control the motor voltage via a PLL circuitry. That's all! Best regards! |

Kay Pirinha, I think, PLL will be too dificult for me. As I understand it, PLL requies digital controller, doesn't it? Is it possible to build just good frequency meter, control the motor using it`s output and get good stability? So my turtable platter's mass is about 1 kg.

Do not bother with that old turntable. My father also owned one. It is simply not worth it as the build quality is very bad. You can get e decent turntable of e-bay for about 50 euros with frequency control.

DC speed controllers and stable speeds
Consider a very simple circuit but use good quality components, and ones that have very little temperature drift or whose circuit is temperature compensated. For checking speed something as simple as an appropriate strobe pattern and a red, or orange light source (as often used on direct drive turntables), but power the light source with a battery, or create a hand-held strobe light as per instrux on the vinyl engine. That way completely separate from the mains frequency. I use a hand-held digital tachometer and some shiny mylar tape. It provides readings that are +/- .005 RPM, so close enough for me (accurate to 1/100th of readings).

Senate Committee Preparing For Talks On School Funding Amendment
Lawmakers are considering a change to the Kansas Constitution in response to lawsuits over school funding.
About eight years ago, a lawsuit ended with an agreement to increase spending on students. But lawmakers cut back when the economy slowed, which rekindled the legal battle.
Now, some Legislators are proposing a constitutional amendment that would give them the power to determine what is a suitable level of funding.
The Senate Judiciary Committee got a refresher course on school funding lawsuits in preparation for working on the amendment. Senator Greg Smith, an Overland Park Republican, said he wants proof that more funding equals better student outcomes.
"Where's the hard data that shows me if we spend $4492 on every single kid in the state of Kansas, they're all going to pass and have a great education?" asked Smith.
The courts came up with the $4492 per student figure in part based on a study, which some senators have questioned. Senator Pat Pettey, a Kansas City Democrat, says perhaps some lawmakers just don't like the outcome of the study.
"Sometimes we tend to question when the results don't come out the way we want," he said.
The committee could start hearings on the proposed constitutional amendment later this month.

Majeh's companion Samhuk urges him to kill all the demons that have escaped from the Next World. Samhuk has learned these demons are taking possession of recently deceased mortal fighters, and knows they must have nefarious plans. If these demons are not destroyed within a month, they will become too powerful to stop.
A young man named Chung-Poong foolishly attempts to rob Majeh. Instead, Majeh takes the boy under his wing and agrees to join with him in a fighting competition sponsored by Lord Maeng. Also seeking to enter the competition is Majeh's female friend Dohwa.
But before the tournament can even begin, three men are brutally murdered by a competitor who is far more - or less - than meets the eye.

One more win and another bunch of wild-card Cardinals get their chance to repeat.
Adam Wainwright threw seven innings of four-hit ball and St. Louis roughed up Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants in an 8-3 rout Thursday night that gave the Cardinals a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series.
The defending World Series champions can wrap up their second straight pennant as a wild card with a victory at home Friday night in Game 5. Lance Lynn faces Giants lefty Barry Zito, and a Cardinals win would set up a 2006 World Series rematch with Detroit.
"We've got to close them out tomorrow," Wainwright said.
Matt Holliday, Jon Jay and Yadier Molina had two RBIs apiece to lead a 12-hit outburst by a team that batted just .198 through the first three games against San Francisco.
"They had their backs against the wall against the Reds and won three in a row, so we've still got our work cut out for us and this series is by no means over," Holliday said.
Lincecum was a bust in his first postseason start since the 2010 World Series clincher over Texas, giving up four runs in 4 2-3 innings.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner with the quirky delivery earned a shot based on nearly spotless relief work earlier in the postseason but reverted to regular-season form, when he was 10-15 with a 5.18 ERA, worst among qualifying starters in the National League.
Wainwright was a glorified cheerleader while rehabbing from reconstructive elbow surgery during the Cardinals' improbable title drive last fall after earning the wild card on the final day of the season and then upsetting the favored Phillies, Brewers and Rangers to give manager Tony La Russa a chance to retire on top.
Under rookie manager Mike Matheny, the 88-win Cardinals were the final team to qualify this year, too. Once again, they've stepped up their game.
Wainwright bounced back from a poor outing in Game 5 of the NL division series against Washington, striking out five and walking none for his first postseason victory as a starter.
"It was a big motivator," he said. "I know that I'm good enough to pitch in the postseason, to carry this team deep into the game, give them a quality game, a quality outing. Last time I didn't do it but I knew tonight if I just believed in myself and went out there and executed pitches I would be in good shape."
The lone damage against Wainwright came on Hunter Pence's first homer and RBI of the postseason, a second-inning clout estimated at 451 feet that soared over the visitor's bullpen into the left-center bleachers to cut the Cardinals' lead to 2-1.
Now, the 14-game winner is on the verge of his first World Series as an active player since striking out Brandon Inge as the stand-in closer for injured Jason Isringhausen in the 2006 clincher over the Tigers.
"This whole experience is so special as it is," Wainwright said. "But to get back to that World Series is always the way to go."

How are cancers in young adults treated?
Older people are much more likely than younger people to get cancer, so most doctors who treat cancer see mainly older adults. (Doctors who treat cancer are called oncologists.) Some doctors (called pediatric oncologists) specialize in treating childhood cancers. Each type of doctor tends to work in an office or cancer center geared toward treating either older adults or children. There are very few doctors who focus specifically on young adults with cancer, so it's not always clear which type of doctor (or treatment center) might be best. It often depends on the patient's age and the type of cancer.
Cancers in young adults that are more common in children, such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), bone sarcomas, and rhabdomyosarcoma, are often best treated by (or at least with input from) pediatric oncologists, who have more experience with these types of cancers. On the other hand, young adults with "adult" cancers such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or melanoma are more likely to benefit from doctors who treat older adults and see these types of cancers more often.
Doctors tend to use more intense treatments when treating children with cancer than when treating adults. Children's bodies are generally better able to recover from higher doses of chemotherapy than are adults' bodies. And in general, childhood cancers often respond better to chemotherapy because they tend to be cancers that grow fast. (Most forms of chemotherapy affect cells that are growing quickly.)
For some cancers (especially "childhood" cancers like ALL and bone sarcomas), the more aggressive treatments used for children have been found to improve outcomes for young adults as well, but for other cancers the results are not as clear. Again, this can depend on the patient's age and the type of cancer.
Types of cancer treatments
The main types of treatment for cancers in young adults are the same as those used in other age groups. The choice of treatment depends mainly on the type and stage (extent) of the cancer. Sometimes more than one type of treatment is used.
It's important to discuss all of your treatment options as well as their possible side effects with your doctors to help make the decision that best fits your needs.
Surgery is a common treatment, especially for early stage cancers. The type and amount of surgery needed depends on the type and location of the cancer.
Young adults have some advantages when it comes to surgery in that they usually have fewer health problems than older adults, and there are fewer concerns about anesthesia than there are with children. (Anesthesia is the use of drugs or gases to put you into a deep sleep and not feel pain.)
For more information, see our document A Guide to Cancer Surgery .
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy rays (such as x-rays) or particles to kill cancer cells. Young adults are less likely to have major side effects from radiation than children because their bodies are no longer growing as quickly. But many parts of the body can still be affected by radiation. Radiation can cause some late or long-term side effects, which are discussed in the section "Late and long-term effects of cancer treatment in young adults."
For more information, see the "Radiation Therapy" section of our website or our document Understanding Radiation Therapy: A Guide for Patients and Families.
Chemotherapy and other drugs
Chemotherapy (chemo) is the use of drugs to treat cancer. Some drugs can be swallowed in pill form, while others are injected by needle into a vein or muscle. Chemo is often used to treat cancers that have spread, but it can also be used for earlier stage cancers (usually along with other treatments).
Chemo drugs can cause side effects because they affect cells that are dividing quickly. Young adults can usually withstand higher doses of chemo than older adults, but these higher doses can also cause more short- and long-term side effects.
For more information, see the "Chemotherapy" section of our website or our document A Guide to Chemotherapy.
For some types of cancer, newer targeted drugs can be used instead of or along with standard chemo drugs. These drugs work by attacking certain parts of cancer cells (or nearby cells) that help them grow. Targeted drugs sometimes work when standard chemo drugs don't, and they have different (and often less severe) side effects.
For more information, see our document Targeted Therapy.
Some medicines work by helping the body's own immune system attack the cancer cells. These treatments are called immunotherapies or biological therapies. They can be very helpful against some types of cancer, and they also tend to have different (and less severe) side effects than standard chemo drugs.
For more information, see our document Immunotherapy.
Stem cell transplant
A stem cell transplant, formerly called a bone marrow transplant, is a way for doctors to give very high doses of chemotherapy (sometimes along with radiation therapy). It's an option for treating some cancers, usually if other treatments are not working.
Without a stem cell transplant, the doses of chemo drugs that can be given are limited because they could severely damage the bone marrow, which is where new blood cells are made. This could lead to life-threatening infections, bleeding, and other problems because of low blood cell counts.
When a stem cell transplant is done, blood-forming stem cells are first collected from the blood of either the patient or from a matched stem cell donor using a special machine. The stem cells are kept frozen while then the patient gets very high doses of chemo (and sometimes radiation) to kill the cancer cells. Afterwards, the stem cells are given into a vein much like a blood transfusion. They settle in the bone marrow and start making new blood cells over the next few weeks.
A stem cell transplant is a complex treatment that can cause life-threatening side effects. Stem cell transplants often require a lengthy hospital stay and cost a lot. It's important to understand the possible benefits, risks, and costs of this procedure if it's an option.
For more information, see our document Stem Cell Transplant (Peripheral Blood, Bone Marrow, and Cord Blood Transplants).
The cancer treatment team
You may have different types of doctors on your treatment team, depending on the type and stage of your cancer and your treatment options. These doctors might include:
- Cancer surgeons (sometimes called surgical oncologists): doctors who use surgery to treat cancer. Surgeons often specialize in treating a certain part of the body or a body system (such as the reproductive system or the gastrointestinal tract).
- Medical oncologists: doctors who use chemotherapy and other medicines to treat adults with cancer
- Pediatric oncologists: doctors who use medicines to treat cancers usually seen in children and teens
- Radiation oncologists: doctors who specialize in using radiation to treat cancer
- Nurse practitioners and physician assistants (PAs): nurses and other professionals who are specially trained and licensed to practice medicine alongside doctors
Many other specialists might be involved in your care as well, including nurses, rehabilitation and physical therapists, nutritionists, social workers, and other health professionals. They can provide help and guidance with many issues facing young adults and their families, such as treatment effects on fertility, education or employment needs, health insurance concerns, family planning, and financial issues.
Clinical trials
Clinical trials are carefully controlled research studies that are done with patients who volunteer for them. They are used to learn more about promising new treatments or procedures.
Clinical trials are one way to get state-of-the art cancer treatment. Sometimes they may be the only way to get access to some newer treatments. They are also the only way for doctors to learn better ways to treat cancer. Still, they are not right for everyone.
Children's cancer centers often conduct many clinical trials at any one time, and most children treated at these centers take part in a clinical trial as part of their treatment. This is one of the reasons why there has been great progress in treating many childhood cancers in recent decades.
Overall, adults are less likely to take part in clinical trials, and young adults tend to have the lowest enrollment rates of any age group. There are many reasons for this, including the many different cancer types and treatment settings, lack of knowledge about clinical trials (from both doctors and patients), patient/family reluctance to enter clinical trials, and financial issues. Unfortunately, many experts believe this low enrollment in clinical trials is one of the main reasons for the lack of progress in treating cancers in young adults.
If you would like to know more about clinical trials, start by asking your doctor if your clinic or hospital takes part in clinical trials. You can also call our clinical trials matching service for a list of studies that might be right for you. You can reach this service at 1-800-303-5691 or on our website at www.cancer.org/clinicaltrials. You can also get a list of current clinical trials by calling the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service toll-free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or by visiting the NCI clinical trials website at www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials.

Tin for the Bin back with Bombers
Winnipeg Harvest's campaign moves to new stadium
One staple of the old Canad Inns Stadium that will be preserved is Winnipeg Harvest's Tin for the Bin campaign.
"Cheer on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at their pre-season game on Wednesday, June 12 at 7 p.m. as they kick the Toronto Argonauts," says a press release from Harvest.
Fans will be able to donate outside the new Investors Group Field stadium when they come to the game.
"There's the four gates, and when you walk up the stairs to enter the stadium, we will be situated just outside the gates," said Colleen McVarish, Harvest's development manager.
Harvest spokesperson Chris Albi said its urgent appeal for food donations in May did bring a donation increase, but changing dynamics in spring and summer means the need remains high.
"It's a pattern that we have, we start to become low on our top 10 items," Albi said.
People take holidays or turn their attentions to yard work or other outdoor activities, while at the same time meal/snack programs that ran during the school year come to an end, she said.
A list of top items needed represents "staple kids' items," Albi said, which are essential for a balanced, nutritional diet.
"We want to make sure that we have those essential food kit items for the people who come in," she said.
Harvest says they feed nearly 64,000 Manitobans a month, almost half of which are children.
Harvest's most wanted food items:
• Canned fish and poultry — tuna or salmon (packed in water) chicken or turkey
• Canned fruit and vegetables (packed in own juice)
• Canned stew, chili, baked beans
• Peanut butter
• Baby food (jars of chicken, beef, vegetables or fruit) Infant cereal such as
oatmeal, barley or rice
• Formula with added iron
• Whole grain pasta/whole wheat pasta
• Brown rice, converted or parboiled
• Canned spaghetti sauce or tomatoes
• Dry cereal — high fibre, non-sugar coated
• Canned soup - lentil, pea, vegetable

Choose one of the following Volcanoes for more details:
Mauna Loa The steep walls of Lua Poholo pit crater, immediately NE of Mokuaweoweo caldera, expose a small portion of the massive pile of thin, overlapping lava flows that have construced the Mauna Loa shield volcano. This view from the NE shows the rim of Mokuaweoweo caldera at the upper right. Lava flows from recent eruptions, including the last eruption of Mauna Loa, in 1984, fill the floor of the pit crater.
Mauna Loa Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists conduct an electronic-distance measurement (EDM) survey on the rim of Kilauea caldera in 1987, with snow-capped Mauna Loa in the background. The procedure uses a laser beam, which is reflected back to the EDM instrument from a distant cluster of reflectors. A precise determination of the horizontal distance between the two points is made by a small computer in the EDM instrument. These measurements allow scientists to detect inflation of the volcano as magma rises to the surface prior to an eruption.
Mauna Loa Hawaii's two largest shield volcanoes, Mauna Loa (in the background to the south) and Mauna Kea, have dramatically differing profiles. Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, has the classic low-angle profile of a shield volcano constructed by repetitive eruptions of thin, overlapping lava flows. Mauna Kea is also a shield volcano formed in the same manner, but its profile has been modified by late-stage explosive eruptions, which constructed a series of cinder cones that cap its summit.
Mauna Loa Mauna Kea (left) and Mauna Loa (right), both over 4000 m above sea level, are the world's largest active volcanoes, rising nearly 9 km above the sea floor around the island of Hawaii. This aerial view from the NW shows the contrasting morphologies of these two shield volcanoes. In contrast to the smooth profile of Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea's early shield volcano morphology is modified by the late-stage products of explosive eruptions.


text: Tile hoard proves discovery of a lifetime 02 February 2008Written by Roland Arkell Born and bred in the environs of Birmingham, Sheila Hughes (1937-2006) first began collecting tiles in the early 1970s. Driven by a desire to save her local architectural heritage at a time when so many old houses in the city were lost to redevelopment, she began by encouraging demolition men to save her cast iron fireplaces. Later, as her passion for the subject grew, she would catch the coach to London where she would visit specialist dealers for a day on the tiles. When family members began to clear the contents of her Arts and Crafts home they found, on the third floor, banana box upon banana box of largely Victorian and Edwardian tiles, some of the rarest lovingly preserved within an almost equally impressive collection of over 500 pairs of trousers and a similar number of woollen sweaters. Imagine the look on the face of her granddaughter's schoolteacher when presented with more than 300 pairs of shoes for a Blue Peter appeal. Will Farmer, director of Fieldings, was offered a task of greater magnitude late last year when, with typical enthusiasm, he emerged from Hughes' home and declared to her family: "I have had the most wonderful morning of my life". There were, alongside a collection of some 2000-3000 garden tools and a tail-lift van full of clothes, close to 3500 tiles arranged according to a somewhat byzantine filing system. Rather than keeping sets together Hughes sorted her tiles into subject matter: frogs in the frog box, farmyard animals in another and so on. A box themed 'flowers', for example, could throw up a William De Morgan alongside a run of pedestrian T&R Boote transfer prints. This is the sort of sale, in a field where the average unit value is relatively low that, increasingly we must look to the provinces or the internet to find. While we are not yet at the stage where London salerooms are turning away De Morgan beast tiles, there is no doubt that the best would have been creamed off for a decorative arts catalogue before selling the rest on referral or in massive single lots of the type collectors perennially dislike. Sale Marketing Not constrained by bean counters demanding minimum lot values, Will Farmer took a stand at a specialist tile fair to display some of the highlights and ask members of the Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society (TACS) how they would like to see such a large collection dispersed. Unlike Sheila Hughes they wanted to see tiles sold by factory and in as few multiples as possible. Among 212 registered bidders and 140 successful buyers at the sale on January 12 it was often those collectors who came away with the 'trophy' lots. Predictably many of the major sums were paid for the 16 tiles by De Morgan. In the wake of the Creffield collection sold in two parts by Bonhams last year this market has become a little saturated but with realistic estimates designed to avoid the casualties seen in London these held up well. Most highly rated were two 6in (15cm) early Fulham period 'beast' tiles painted in deep blue to a turquoise ground. A stylised peacock in walking pose took £1550 and a tortoise £1600 (estimates £600-800). Above: two William De Morgan early Fulham period beast tiles painted to a turquoise ground. The tortoise tile took £1600 and the peacock made £1550 at the sale of The Sheila Hughes Tile Collection at Fieldings. But perhaps a more interesting feature of this sale was the competition for rare Victorian and Edwardian dust pressed transfer printed tiles. There were tiles here that many dealers and collectors had not seen outside reference works. Sold at £620 (estimate £120-150) was a 8in (20cm) tile by Mintons sepia line printed and painted with a scene of a young fisher girl with a catch of lobster. It carried the signature of William Wise the prolific graphic designer who worked freelance for Minton China Works during the 1870s and 1880s. He specialised in these depictions of rural life - most of which are worth around £40-50 - but this larger tile with coloured decoration is evidently a rarity. Six (of the 12) tiles from the Mintons China Works' Gastronomic series depicting Victorian characters preparing and digesting food were valued at around £100 a tile. Like the best Minton tiles they were also line printed and then hand enamelled. They sold at £1550. Mr Farmer described the cataloguing of this sale as "one of the steepest learning curves of my career."While aided greatly by a copy of Chris Blanchett's 20th Century Decorative British Tiles and TACS members happy to share their knowledge, he was still learning much during and after the sale. He had tried and failed before the sale to identify the designer of four Minton, Hollins & Co dust pressed tiles each hand enamelled in sepia and black over white glazed ground with scenes from Aesop's fables. They were estimated at £120- 150 but sold at £800.The reason? They were among a small number of designs done for Minton Hollins by Clement Heaton who is best known for his Arts and Crafts work in stained glass and enamelling. Above: Minton, Hollins & Co tile hand decorated with a stylised pelican feeding its young after design by Dresser - £760 at the sale of The Sheila Hughes Tile Collection at Fieldings. Equally contested were both a pair of two tile panels by Maw & Co line transfer printed in blue with geishas in kimonos (estimated at £100-150 each) and a pair of early 20th century Pilkingtons tiles hand decorated with cottages to a lakeside setting in majolica style glaze colours (estimate £80-120). The Japanese ladies are the two sides of a fireplace triptych - the horizontal panel depicts a geisha lying on a bed - and two buyers had to have them. One panel raised £840.The other sold at £800. Helped by the presence of two collectors, Pilkingtons tiles were a particularly strong section. This pair set in dark stained oak frames took £780. Outstanding for their sheer quality were two 8in (20cm) Steel & Wood dust pressed tiles that had been hand painted with profile portraits of young ladies emblematic of summer and autumn. One bears the full signature for the freelance decorator Lucien Besche, the second signed in monogram. They took £1120 (estimate £600-800). Above: one of a pair of Steel & Wood tiles later painted with profile portraits depicting Summer and Autumn by Lucien Besche - £1120 at the sale of The Sheila Hughes Tile Collection at Fieldings. Most of the interest in this sale was from the UK but there was a strong American presence and bidders from Europe who often focused upon specific areas: Dutch for the small volume of delft tiles, Germans for Art Nouveau and French for Continental productions. Tiles designed by Christopher Dresser naturally attract crossover buyers. Another of the much-coveted 'singles' was an 8in (20cm) Mintons China Works dust pressed tile printed and enamelled with bluetits resting on stylised grasses. This design (listed as pattern book number 1143) comes in two colours: with a terracotta ground and pink flowers, as seen here; and with a white ground and red flowers as seen to two examples in the Harry Lyons Collection sold at Christie's South Kensington in October 2004. The pair (with minor damage) at Christie's made £700. The single terracotta example here, with small imperfections, took £540 (estimate £80-120). A Minton, Hollins & Co 6in (15cm) tile hand decorated with a stylised stork feeding its young in a nest in imitation of stained glass was also a Dresser design. Estimated at £80-120 it took £760. Not so popular were the J.&W.Wade & Co relief moulded tiles and productions by some of the lesser factories such as T.R. Boote or Packard & Ord. But these did not remain unsold for long. Shortly after the sale the auctioneers were approached by a client interested in the 16 per cent of the collection that had not sold. A deal was struck with the vendors to bring the selling rate to 100 per cent. The buyer's premium was 15%. Antiques Trade Gazette is the weekly bible of the fine art and antiques industry.

I try and take a Zen approach to flying: it doesn't matter what time you land, as long as it's a safe landing. But I had trouble with that mindset yesterday as I cooled my heels in the Minneapolis airport for 3 hours waiting for my San Francisco flight to take off. As the hours ticked by, it looked like I might miss my first night of Beethoven at the Music @ Menlo Festival.
Well, the chamber music gods smiled on me and I arrived in town with about 50 minutes to spare and, as has been the case for the previous two years, it was well worth the effort. Wu Han came bounding up on the stage at the start of the concert to announce an "amazing" line up of events for the following day: a Café Conversation by Master Teacher Pamela Frank, a Master Class by violinist Jorja Fleezanis and a special Encounter lecture on Beethoven's final piano sonata in preparation for the performance this evening. Then she warmly welcomed the St. Lawrence Quartet to the stage.
The music that Beethoven wrote in his final years is not always easy listening. It takes strange turns and can even sound contemporary at times. But this audience sat motionless last night through the first two of his late quartets opening their hearts to where this quartet might take them.
Additional notes: Violinist Geoff Nuttall and cellist Christopher Costanza were sporting shaved heads which audience members around me informed me were less than 24 hours old. A television crew is following them around and they had their own "reality TV" moment with the razor.
Menlo is more than sold out each night. Overheard at a reception last night: "People are pretending to be handicapped just to get a seat. I swear that woman didn't need her walker once she got her ticket!"

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Joe's freedom sparks feelings of betrayal
-- Excerpt from prison journal
of Joe Stone Lamontagne
WHEN Joe Stone Lamontagne went to The Forks this week to thank merchants who helped raise funds that bought his freedom from a barbaric South American prison, he got a surprise.
He was lectured by a young woman he used to work with. She was angry. She had thought he was innocent.
"They just feel they helped a drug dealer," his father, Rick Lamontagne, says of the merchants who raised about $1,000 in collection jars last July.
Judging by that vignette, and critical letters to the Free Press, not everyone feels joy at last weekend's homecoming of Joe Stone Lamontagne.
The 23-year-old confessed to me last week that only his mother knew the truth -- he had agreed to be a drug mule for $6,000 US.
Some of you now feel he deserved more than the six months he spent in a South American hell of a prison for trying to run a half-kilo of cocaine from Ecuador to Spain.
Disgust in the letters was aimed largely at Joe's mother, the driving force to raise $40,000 US to rescue her son. The Stone Lamontagnes still owe $25,000 Cdn.
Reader Gord Greasley criticized my coverage of the Stone Lamontagnes.
"It appears that you have successfully spearheaded a campaign to raise money from Winnipeggers to bribe foreign justice officials to release an admitted drug courier from prison, and have returned him to our city," Greasley wrote.
He also criticized Susan. "You also reported Sunday that Stone Lamontagne's mother knew he had knowingly taken a drug courier job. Apparently this knowledge did not deter her from proclaiming his innocence while lobbying Winnipeggers to send money to free him."
That's not quite the way it went.
When I checked the original March 16 story on Joe's imprisonment by Free Press reporter Carol Sanders, I discovered Susan told the "truth" at the outset.
"His family says the young man, who had never been in trouble before ... was recruited by traffickers to be a drug mule," the article reads.
" 'What we want to do is let the rest of Winnipeg know these guys are right here in our very home town recruiting our kids,' said his mother, Susan Stone Lamontagne."
Shortly after that story, Susan Stone flew to Ecuador to visit her son.
She returned with a different version. One she said Joe told her.
When he got to the oil patch, there was no job. So his "boss" asked if he wanted to go to Ecuador. There was a carnival on that weekend. When he got there, his boss called and asked if he would bring his briefcase back.
Joe was suspicious. But, on his boss's invitation, he searched the briefcase and couldn't find drugs.
He was arrested at the Guyaquil airport. The cocaine was sewn inside.
In the pile of angry letters, I found only one from someone who donated money, and now was angry. Barb Hewitt gave $100.
"Susan Stone knew that her son was guilty of trying to traffic in drugs, and she lied about his culpability in order to dupe the generous and caring citizens of this city into contributing to the bribes that freed him."
I called Hewitt this week. S he sounded less angry in person.
"I'm so glad he's back," she said. "Even if he is guilty, you don't deserve that kind of treatment."
She said she felt misled, though. "That was what angered me."
But did Susan Stone really intentionally mislead anyone? Did she even lie?
On Tuesday, I called the Stone Lamontagne home.
Rick answered. He said the first he knew of the "truth" was when he read it in the Free Press Sunday. If his wife knew, he said, she didn't tell him.
I reached Susan later, on the road. Joe was with her. Not surprisingly, he has struggled emotionally and pyschologically.
I asked Susan if she knew the truth when she campaigned for support.
"No," she said.
But Joe had told me she knew the truth.
"I asked him about that," she said. "He said I knew part of it."
Which part?
"We haven't got that far yet," she said.
The excerpt from Joe Stone Lamontagne's journal at the top of this column suggests he was adopting the "rules" of the prison when he lied before he was sentenced about what really happened and may have even misled his mother.
Yesterday, I received an e-mail from Anne Fairley. She wanted to know if $100 would help the family with its $25,000 debt.
"The truth of what really happened touched me very much," she wrote.
I guess not everyone feels misled.
Or betrayed.
I know I don't.

Love this shot it. I love going to festivals such as these. They are so much fun. :)
Hmm…. you should visit then in August :) and feel free to feel the part of the festivities. Unless you want the guide to take you around.
> :) <
I am torn… having a guide can be so much fun, especially if you get along with them but to explore on your own can be an adventure but then being with said guide could also be an adventure.
hmmm decisions decisions… lol
No, you won't be torn – I know an adventurous guide, kind of always exploring, finding the unknowns. You would be surprised besides, he is a FreeBird. I bet you won't have this torn feeling and you won't have to make decisions… Decision. Life should be simple, as it comes.
Best things are spontaneous. Decisions spoil the energy and excitement.
Wohooo! Sigh me up then. :O)
One day you will take me on an adventure. :)
Life should be simple and I try to keep it as simple as possible. Most of the time I do a pretty good job achieving it. :-)

Leaders demand Syria allow U.N. to investigate into alleged chemical attack
Western leaders call for an investigation into Syria's alleged chemical attack, Bo Xilai gets feisty, and Mubarak leaves prison via helicopter. Today is Thursday, August 22, and this is the World Wrap, brought to you by @dwbronner.

World reacts to Syria deaths. A day after an alleged chemical attack killed hundreds of Syria in what would be the world's worst chemical attack in decades, Western leaders called for Syria to allow United Nations chemical weapons inspectors to access affected sites:
After months of negotiating with Assad's government to let inspectors into Syria, a U.N. team arrived in Damascus four days ago. Their task is to check on the presence, but not the sources, of chemical weapons that are alleged to have been released in three specific, small incidents several months ago. They have no mandate beyond that. A divided U.N. Security Council, meeting in emergency session on Wednesday, failed to endorse a Western push for an immediate inspection of the sites near Damascus. It called only for "clarity" on the incident. Syria's government offered no immediate public response to calls on Thursday for the U.N. team to have access to the area.
Opposition leaders say the attack was carried out by Assad's forces, an accusation the Syrian government denies. Russia backed Assad's denial, calling the attack a "provocation" by rebel forces to discredit the government, while Israel said their intelligence assessments show chemical weapons were used and placed heavy blame on Iran for supporting Assad. A spokesman for the rebels' Supreme Military Council said the group is deliberating how to respond to the alleged attack, adding that "People are growing desperate as they watch another round of political statements and U.N. meetings without any hope of action." The Free Syria Army estimated roughly 1,700 casualties from aerial and chemical bombardments that hit near Damascus early Wednesday morning. Other groups suggest a lower count, but say that bodies are still being found.

Bo's day in court. Disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai said he was framed in bribery charges against him, kicking off the country's most political trial in decades:
The 64-year-old former Communist Party chief of the southwestern city of Chongqing has been charged with illegally taking almost 27 million yuan ($4.41 million), corruption and abuse of power and will almost certainly be found guilty. Bo's denial of the charges and strong language as he made his first public appearance since being ousted early last year were unexpected. But observers said he could have agreed to choreographed proceedings that would show authorities in an impartial light in exchange for a pre-arranged sentence.
The trial exposes divisions in Chinese society, with Bo's supporters representing a socialist sensibility and his detractors espousing Beijing's more capitalist tendencies. Chinese President Xi Jinping is likely to tout the trial as an example of his commitment to combating corruption in politics.

Mubarak whisked away. A helicopter took former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to a military hospital from Cairo's Tora prison after an Egyptian prosecutor demanded his release this morning:
Judicial authorities had ordered Mubarak's release from Tora. His lawyer and other sources said earlier that his first destination would be an upscale hospital northeast of Cairo. The prime minister's office has said Mubarak will be placed under house arrest.
The decision follows Egypt's most violent period of internal strife, which left roughly 900 people dead. Egypt has been in turmoil since the July 3 ouster of former president Mohamed Mursi. The Muslim Brotherhood has called for "Friday of martyrs" marches to be held tomorrow in protest of the country's military-backed interim government.
