Yeah, so, I trend toward looking like I fell into a tackle box and I collect tattoos, although at a very slow rate. You can take a piece of metal out of your head and not leave a trace, but tattoos are a commitment, and I am phobic about commitment. I have two plus a 3/4 sleeve in progress, and the sleeve has taken months of planning and saving. It's not the sort of thing one jumps into and can have done while drunk in an evening. I have to be able to look professional so my piercings are sort of strategic. I have a nostril piercing, which might be iffy, but where I live lots of nurses have them, so I don't really see it as an issue. I usually keep a thin loop in it. If I really need to be discreet, I replace the loop with the tiniest of pink studs, which at best looks like a sparkly zit. My septum piercing is easily hidden by flipping it up into my nose; problem solved. Tongue piercing: I'm one of those folks who does not have a tongue-bar lisp and no one notices it unless I go "nyahhhh look at my tongue bar." Ear piercings: I have stretched lobes (6-g), which bother no one when I wear glass plugs, which look like normal earrings. On one side I have a forward helix, and on the other I have a rook. That's only two per side. Again, lots of nurses have more than one earring per ear, so mine might have hurt a little worse, but they don't look too weird. Point being, I can look like I fell into a tackle box, or I can hide almost everything to where I look like a regular person with a nose stud. And I have a few that are always hidden under my clothes!
Recently someone told me piercings and tattoos were a sign of self-injury and suchlike. The lady who said this to me, I noted, did have her earlobes pierced.
I saved my breath at the time, but given that this is my blog and I can write what I want, I want to defend body modification. No doubt there are myriad reasons to do it. Teenagers might want to piss their parents off. S&M-ers might have their own reasons. Who knows. For me, I spent a lot of years hating my body. It wasn't thin enough. It wasn't this- or that-enough. I had some issues in the meantime, all of which would bore my audience. Suffice it to say I modify my body now as an adult according to what pleases me. I don't think it's particularly odd. People have gotten their ears pierced and worn makeup acceptably in this society for quite a while. I eschew makeup and favor inked skin. So what. I add a few holes to my face aside from my lobes. So what. Doesn't mean I'm engaged in war against myself.
In fact, in direct contradistinction to the self-injury theory, my mods make me feel happier inside my body. Piercings hurt, but it's not a self-punishment pain. It's a means to an end. They don't hurt that damn bad anyway. Tattoos...meh. I actually literally fell asleep for an hour during the first 6 hours of my sleeve. On my inner forearm. Which by all accounts is a sensitive area. Granted, I have a high pain tolerance and I sleep during the day, so I was groggy, but still. If it hurt that bad, you can bet I would have been wincing and acting girly. (I did get sent away for a coffee halfway through because I was freaking the artist out, but that's another story.) I spent months with the artist designing this sleeve. I spent months saving for it. It means something to me. How is this self-injury? You don't treat yourself and spend time and money on yourself if you are trying to hurt yourself.
And what of plastic surgery? If these proponents of "body modification as self injury" are to be believed, 75% of southern California should be in mental institutions. Seriously? Having a hole poked in the helix of my ear is worse than undergoing general anesthesia and having fat sucked out of my ass? Having an artistic design tattooed on my arm is worse than having permanent makeup tattooed? Or having all the hair lasered off my chin? Anything with "laser" in it sounds sort of drastic to me. But these opinions seem based on what people are used to, on what is "done," rather than on common sense or even thinking outside the box.
As for professional acceptance, I've written before about that. The elderly are supposed to be appalled by bod mods. In my experience, the elderly are the ones who say "I love your sparkly nose stud" or, when I had my eyebrow ring, "I love your eyebrow ring." They admire my cat tattoo. Many want to pet it. They range from not caring to actively liking the mods. The younger population...likes having a nurse with the same mods they have. I've triaged a fair number of piercing-related injuries and issues. Tell me those patients don't feel better talking to someone who doesn't think they're idiots. I'm sure this debate will rage until it's accepted that nose studs aren't going to kill anyone. And the "wear Band-Aids over your piercings" dictate that some hospitals use...spare me. Terrifying.
So please. If you number amongst those who think piercings and tattoos are an indication of self-hatred or self-destruction, reconsider. It's probably a sign of self-acceptance. If it helps, reiterate to yourself: it doesn't hurt that damn bad!

Song to listen to while reading this chapter: "Propaganda" from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency OST
Well, this was a hell of a chapter to read at 2 in the morning after 4 hours of sleep.
So we start off with what amounts to 3 straight pages of falling as Kubo sets up the title. I'd complain, but Nemu's got hips that don't lie, so eh. However, the bits and pieces of Pernida's clone falling with Nemu aren't quite dead, and after growing more arms and fingers because...reasons, they impale her with nerves and tear her apart. Ouch. Looking at this, Mayuri is legitimately driven into despair, resulting in perhaps the most unexpected cameo in this arc - Szayelaporro Granz, who appears as a sort of vision to Mayuri in the vein of Kenpachi (and I guess Kariya) during Ichigo's Visored training.
Being the colossal dickwaffle that he is, Szayel proceeds to mock Mayuri's grief, claim that Nemu dying means she wasn't perfect enough and that Mayuri can simply make a more perfect being next time, AND mock the idea that Mayuri thought Nemu was close to perfect (complete with a completely ridiculous yet creepy face, to boot) before admitting that this situation - Nemu being destroyed and Mayuri greeting darkness as his old friend - is one where he'd be laughing his ass off. Having had just about enough of this tomfoolery, Mayuri has Szayel talk to the hand and sees that the two clones have joined him on the roof, having gained mouths, tongues, and...even more eyes.
With strands of his hair hanging down Bazz-style, Mayuri tells the two hands to dig in, but takes Nemu's brain before they can eat it. After repelling The Compulsory through exerting his Reiatsu (oh man he's pissed) Mayuri reveals that as with his fight with Szayel, he's made some...changes to Nemu's body, namely that her regenerative cells have been replaced with cells that are sorta like super-cancer, reproducing uncontrollably and only being kept in check by her brain. And now that her brain is gone, well...the clone's about to know what it feels like to be too healthy as it begins to self-destruct from regenerating too quickly.
Another good chapter this week. I'm honestly not surprised that Nemu's dead, but the way she went was...unexpectedly brutal. Szayel coming back was a neat twist harkening back to Ichigo being motivated during his Visored training, though it was certainly a twisted way of motivating Mayuri, and Mayuri delivered when it came to dealing what I HOPE is the final blow against this thing. I'm thinking that next chapter will be the "for real" end to this fight.
Side-note: I honestly kinda hope all the Schutzstaffel fights are this long, even if the remaining three members aren't Soul King limbs, because holy crap we've gotten a lot of information on the major combatants in this one alone, and if it's someone like Shunsui or Urahara involved in the next few fights, well...yeah.

Thomas lay on the Captain's bed with his arms stretched out to each corner of the headboard where they were tied off. He lay there sweating with the heat inside the Captain's apartment stifling. Thomas still didn't understand a word the Spanish Captain or any of his crew said but he knew the tone of the Captain's words when he got tied to the bed. Angry for what he had done. He knew he shouldn't have done it but he grew lonely staying in the Captain's quarters all day and night and he had grown to desire what the Captain had forced him to do their first day out to sea.
They were not out of sight of land, pulling away from England, Thomas' home country when the Captain came in and forced him down on the bed. He had gone from living on the streets to finding himself on this Spanish Carrack sailing off to places unknown. At first it embarrassed him thinking the looks he got from the crew were looks of judgment but after a few days he realized differently and suddenly he saw how it was, a crew of men on a sailing ship traveling for weeks, months even, before docking in some faraway country. They looked at him with a longing, a desire and Thomas fought the urge to tease them, to give them ideas.
At first the Captain had come to him often, sometimes merely pulling his cock free and pushing Thomas over on the bed on his stomach. The white shirt the Captain gave Thomas to wear was easily pushed up or removed. Other times they lay on the bed, both naked, the Captain's tanned muscular body able to cover Thomas's lean fair skinned frame completely, pressing him down in the soft mattress, spreading his legs and penetrating him. Thomas quickly learned to relax to the penetration, to the feel of the Captain's cock breaching his opening and penetrating him deeply. He came to be vocal with the Captain's fuck, to move beneath him, pushing upward begging for him to do it harder, to fuck him faster. He knew the Captain didn't know the words he spoke but the Captain knew the meaning of them as he would hold young Thomas down and drive cock into his hole faster and faster.
They had been at sea for days, how long Thomas didn't know, but he had grown restless and when the Captain was up a deck in his Cabin working Thomas slipped out of the apartment. He didn't know the ship so he eased along silently, working his way through the Reading Room through the next area where cannons sat along each side ready to use at a moment's notice till he came to the kitchen. He smelled the evening's meal in preparation and he eased inside the kitchen. The cook had his back turned to the door and Thomas bravely moved into the room looking at the preparations underway. The cook turned suddenly and caught Thomas at the end of the table. Thomas knew he looked ridiculous wearing the oversized shirt, the loose garment hanging on his lean frame making him acutely aware of his nakedness underneath the thin white fabric. The cook was about his height, older, somewhere in his late twenties with a scruffy beard trying to come in, the area along his jaw almost bare. The cook had dark hair, brown eyes and was muscular, his arms bulging with muscle.
No se supone que esta aqui!
Thomas had no idea what the cook said but he was sure it was about him being out of the Captain's apartment.
"I got bored" Thomas replied smiling at the cook. Thomas found him attractive and he absentmindedly ran a hand down the front of the loose shirt pressing it against his lean body till he came to his cock and he let the cook see how it bulged outward, thickly over his sac. The cook stood frozen in place watching his hand, every move of his fingers as he manipulated himself bringing his cock up to erection. It pushed outward obscenely.
Usted es una ramera!
The cook laughed as he spoke and Thomas wondered how to respond. He reached down and let his fingers push the soft worn fabric tight to his cock shaft as he moved them along its length. He looked up at the cook, smiling, wondering if the cook was willing to do to him what the Captain had been doing for days.
"You like?" Thomas asked as he lifted the sleeping shirt up and let it drape over his cock which stuck straight out hard, the loose skin pulled back till the red head was sticking out free, wet, slick with the leakage from it. The cook set down the spoon he was holding and moved around the small table. His eyes were glued to Thomas' cock. He roughly pushed Thomas against the wall as he went down on his knees. Thomas barely had time to register what was happening when he realized his cock was sunk deeply into the cook's mouth. Slick, hot, that mouth moved along his cock making him grow fully erect. It grew so hard it ached as the cook's mouth worked along its length.
"Damn" Thomas uttered, the profanity whispered through clinched teeth. The cook pulled back along his cock, bit down on his loose foreskin and pulled on it.
"OHhhh" Thomas cried out slapping his hand over his mouth to stifle his own cry.
Se derrame en mi boca?
The cook was looking up at him, his expression pleading, and Thomas knew what he wanted. Taking his cock in hand he rubbed the head over the cook's lips then pushed against them sliding his cock over the cook's tongue till he was pushing into the man's throat.
"Fuck" Thomas uttered as he held the cook's head and pumped his hips thrusting his cock inward and pulling back, faster and faster. The Captain hadn't allowed him any release in two days and he felt his load surge through his cock and suddenly the cook was choking, swallowing as fast as he could. Thomas kept pumping his hips, shoving inward with each ejaculation till the cook took him by the thighs shoving him back against the wall. The cook buried his face into the sparse hair fanned out over Thomas' cock and sucked so hard Thomas thought his cock was going to be pulled off as he felt each ejaculation, every wad as it spurt into the cook's mouth.
Spent Thomas leaned against the wall, eyes closed, as he felt the cook hold his cock licking it clean. The dim light of the kitchen shadowed out against his eye lids and suddenly he found the cook spinning him around, pushing him to the table where he fell onto his back. Soon his shirt was pushed up to his arm pits, his legs locked to the cook's chest with the cook's cock sinking into his hole. The cook fucked him with a furious pace. Hips slapping against his ass and Thomas knew he was afraid the Captain would catch him in his Cabin Boy's ass and so he fucked to come, fucked with all his energy trying to get off as quickly as possible. Thomas held the table's edge to keep from being pushed back across its top as he took every forward thrust. When the cook was jabbing inward in shorter thrusts Thomas recognized the rhythm of it and knew the man was close and he pushed back against him taking all of his cock. The cook took an ankle in each hand and spread them apart as he moved over Thomas folding him half, spreading him open. The cook fucked him harder, slamming hips against his ass and when he felt the cook suck on one nipple then nip it as cock was shoved inward hard he knew the cook was ejaculating inside him. He felt the cook grind his hips up against his ass working the spurting cock through its own load. Thomas held tightly to the table taking everything the cook would give him.
The cook let him up and quickly got himself put together looking over at Thomas guilty. Thomas stood up letting the shirt fall back into place. His spent cock was still inflated slightly and pushed wetly against the front leaving a wet spot that grew in diameter as Thomas stood there watching the cook turn away from him getting back to his preparation of the evening meal.
"Thanks" Thomas whispered and saw the cook nod his head without turning around. Thomas eased out and started to head back to the Captain's apartment. The undulating movement of the ship suddenly returned to him and he felt a moment's dizziness. When he started back he heard voices down below. Squatting at the opening in the floor where the ship's ladder was located he tried to see who was down on the next level. Easing down the steps of the ladder one at a time Thomas moved down facing outward where he heard the voices. He eased down till he was clear of the structure and could see down the narrow corridor where a door was held open and a dim light of a candle was shining through it. Thomas stepped down off the ladder when he saw the voices were coming from the room and no one was out in the corridor.
Easing down the narrow corridor Thomas came to the door and peered around the jamb where he saw two of the crew lying on their sides talking. They were stripped to their waists and their tanned muscular torsos were glistening in the dim light. Thomas didn't know what they were saying but one grabbed his crotch and said something in a humorous tone making the other laugh. Suddenly the ship rocked roughly with a wave and Thomas fell forward coming into view at the door.
The men looked up and saw him standing there, frozen in place, and they saw how the white shirt he wore hung down long, the front having a wet spot at his cock which was pushing outward once again. Thomas found fear made him erect as quickly as desire or lust and his cock rose up slowly, flexing up and down. The shirt had the buttons at the neck undone and his bare smooth upper chest below his neck was exposed. The men could see his long arms, the skin so smooth and fair, as well as his long lean legs which were just as bare. He looked much younger than his age which he thought was nineteen, or maybe it was eighteen. He wasn't sure any more having been on the streets so long before the Captain took him.
Thomas looked at the two crewmen, their muscular bodies, and he saw first one, then the other tug on their crotches. The one on the left had black hair and a beard coming in thickly along his jaw. The other had lighter hair, streaked by the sun and he had a beard that was kept cut close. After being with the cook Thomas knew how easy it would be to get what he wanted. How he wanted to feel their cocks penetrate his body, to move within him stroking his own desires. He lifted the shirt over his head and let it drop to the floor. Naked, his cock rising upward, he stood in front of the two men.
Va a ser nuestra mujer?
The man on the right said laughing as he sat up, swinging his legs to the floor. He looked at the other man and nodded toward Thomas.
El capitan no es darle lo suficiente.
The man added as he stood up and moved to Thomas. He grabbed Thomas by the arm and pulled him into the small room forcing him between the beds. The other man stood at the head of the beds undoing his pants. Thomas was pushed toward the man, bent over till he had to put his hands on the man's bare hips. He saw the man's long uncut cock, watched how the man manipulated it getting it erect. The man's pants fell freely to his ankles and he grabbed Thomas by his hair and pulled his mouth to the growing erection in his face.
Pua te meten!
Thomas opened his mouth and took the cock in his face, let it slide over his tongue and push to the back of his throat. The man held him in place, kept the cock sunk in his mouth all the way making him wonder why he wouldn't let him move, let him do what he had learned to do so well while in the Captain's care. Then he felt it, the other man's cock pushing at his hole. The cock rubbed up and down, pushed against his hole and rubbed over the opening.
Wue el suelo esta mojado!
Thomas didn't know what the man behind him said but he was sure it was about his hole already being wet, the cook's cum leaking from it. The man tightened his grip on Thomas' hips and shoved forward sinking his cock all the way into Thomas. Moaning around the cock in his mouth Thomas held on to the thighs of the man in front of him as they began to fuck, one in his ass and the other in his mouth. They were slow at first, easing their cocks inward and pulling slowly back out talking animatedly amongst themselves as they kept it up using Thomas for their pleasure. The man in his ass had a long thin cock, longer than the Captain's, and Thomas felt the way it penetrated him deeply, sinking so deep he wondered how he took it. He sucked the cock in his mouth letting it move over his tongue slickly. A hand rested on his back then slid slickly up along his spin rubbing over his sweaty skin. They were grunting and moaning, all three of them, noisily, recklessly, as they fucked faster and faster, Thomas taking every inch of cock pushed into his mouth and ass; he felt every thrust. The man fucking his ass reached underneath him and took his hard cock and stroked it, faster and faster, keeping rhythm with their fuck.
Thomas felt the cock in his mouth flex, felt it swell up thicker filling his mouth then he felt the flood of cum fill his mouth. He swallowed as best he could but some still pumped out through his lips and trickled down his chin. The man cried out as he shot each wad into his mouth and the man fucking his ass slapped his right cheek laughing. Then the grip tightened on his hips and the man hammered his ass, hard fast thrusts till he felt the man pumping cum into his hole.
The man let go of his erection denying him the release he so desperately wanted. The man he sucked slipped down the wall and sat in front of him with his eyes closed while the man in his ass slowly pumped his spent cock working through his load till Thomas felt cum trickle down his thigh. The man was lying over his back and hot breath hit his skin with every exhale.
Suddenly a voice boomed out loud. The Captain's voice reverberated through the room.
Que chingados es eso? Que es lo que hacen!
Thomas didn't know what he was saying but he knew he was angry. He held up the shirt and shook it at Thomas as the two men climbed up on their bunks trying to get as far away as they could.
"I'm sorry...I was lonely" Thomas said with sadness in his voice as he looked up at the Captain more scared than he had been when he was dragged on board. The Captain looked at him, the anger making his features so hard, so indiscernible Thomas just stood in front of him waiting for whatever was coming.
The Captain took a deep breath and helped Thomas slip the shirt over his head. The Captain guided him out into the narrow corridor saying something back to the two men in the room before leading him back to the apartment. It was then the Captain stripped him and tied him to the bed leaving him alone in the room.
He laid there, his mind replaying the events that caused him to be tied up, his cock growing erect each time and he felt the ache of it, the lustful desire for someone, anyone to come and give him relief. He lay there watching it rise up, beads of clear liquid pool at the slit and drool down onto his stomach and eventually he would find a way to stop thinking of the sex, the way it felt, and he'd get his cock to grow flaccid.
It was dark when the door opened and the Captain came in carrying a candle. He set it down on the table near the door and moved to the foot of the bed. He didn't say anything as he looked down on Thomas, his whole body in silhouette, shadowed and unreadable by Thomas.
"I'm sorry, sir, but..." Thomas said letting his voice trail off knowing the futility of saying anything. The Captain began to pull his own clothes off and Thomas watched as he removed each garment. It took only a minute and the Captain stood naked at the foot of the bed, his cock rising up erect. Thomas lay still waiting. The Captain moved up on the bed and took each ankle lifting Thomas' legs up and spreading them out. He moved up closer pushing Thomas' legs over folding him in half, with his ass turned upward spread open. Thomas moaned as he felt the Captain's cock rub along his ass and when the Captain pushed his ankles down on the bed either side of his head he felt it touch his hole, pressing against it. The Captain pushed down, penetrating him in one push sinking his thick cock all the way inward till his hips rested on Thomas' ass.
Thomas cried out only to have his cry muffled by the Captain's mouth pressed to his own.
The Captain rose up holding Thomas' legs down and began to fuck. He fucked out of desire, out of anger for the betrayal, out of a sense of punishment, as he hammered his cock into Thomas, drove it all the way into his hole, pulled up and slammed back in, over and over, till the bed squeaked noisily and rocked back and forth banging into the wall. The Captain didn't seem to care this time if anyone could hear them as he threw his whole weight into this fuck, drove into Thomas over and over, uttering in Spanish through clinched teeth.
Thomas felt the heat of this fuck, the slick wetness where their bodies rubbed together and the drops of sweat that rained down on him from the Captain. Their exertion was exhausting, their breathing labored as the Captain fucked with a furious pace, his rhythm growing ragged, this thrusts inward shorter, with his hips jabbing away at Thomas's hole. Punishingly, the Captain kept up his fuck till he finally shoved inward all the way and collapsed on top of Thomas; his cock ejaculating wad after wad.
Then Thomas was alone once again, his cock still hard and his skin cooling with the evaporation of sweat from its surface. The sheets felt damp underneath him and the room hot, humid, the air filled with the stench of their fuck.
And he felt exhausted.
Thomas woke to the early morning light filtering in through the small windows of the apartment that lined the upper end of the stern. The ship seemed to be rocking slowly, like it did in a dead calm ocean and Thomas realized they were not moving very fast for there was no wind. He was still tied to the head board and his naked body lay on top of the bed. It was still hot even in this early morning hour.
The door opened and the Captain came in stripped to the waist, his body glistening with the sweat that covered it. Thomas watched him close the door and just stand there for a moment, a concerned look on his face.
Vamos no hay donde hasta el viento sopia hacia arriba. Nada que hacer, except esperar y...
The Captain stopped speaking and smiled. He moved to the bed and untied Thomas' arms from the head board, then bound them together only to retie him to the headboard in the middle. He flipped Thomas on to his stomach running a hand down along his back. Thomas felt the hand over his shoulder blades, fingers trace their shape, then the hand moved down along his spine following the gentle curve of his back till it moved up and over the curve of his ass. Thomas felt the Captain's fingers dig down between his cheeks and touch his hole, felt them move over it as the Captain let his fingers travel from the top of Thomas' ass down in between his legs till Thomas felt them move over his sac that was exposed between his legs.
Usted tiene la piel suave y cremosa.
The Captain spoke and it seemed more to himself than to Thomas who didn't understand him. Thomas turned his head so he could see the Captain standing by the bed and watched him undo his pants and strip out of the remainder of his clothes till he was naked again. Thomas knew being on his stomach was different, knew he couldn't watch the Captain take him and realized maybe this time he wasn't suppose to watch. He turned his head down into the pillow as he felt the Captain move up on the bed right at the foot. He felt the Captain take each ankle and pull him down till his arms were stretched tight, then the Captain pushed his legs apart and moved up between them. Thomas felt the Captain's cock, already hard again, as it nestled down between his ass cheeks and touched his hole. Thomas pushed up against it.
"Fuck me...fuck me...please" Thomas begged and he felt the Captain's cock sink into his hole.
Thomas felt the way the Captain fucked him slowly this time, gently sinking into his hole so that he felt every inch move into him. He pushed up to take more of it, undulated beneath the Captain's body like a snake, working his back and hips, sinking the Captain's cock all the way into his hole. He tugged against the rope that bound his hands together as he buried his face into the pillow to stifle his cries. In his mind he begged the Captain to fuck him, to fuck him harder, and he worked his ass to take all the cock working his hole.
The Captain came down on his back and bear hugged their bodies together, ground his hips into Thomas' ass every time he bottomed out. This fuck was slow, the Captain building up his pace with patience making Thomas want it more than ever before. Thomas felt his own cock pinned beneath him and pushing into the mattress with every thrust by the Captain into his hole. He worked his hips more, worked them to take the Captain's cock and to grind his own into the mattress.
They fucked a long time, their bodies growing hot, slick, glistening in the morning light coming into the room. The Captain eventually rose up and began to fuck faster, to build up a fast rhythm and Thomas worked his ass to meet every downward thrust. Thomas cried out, moaned and pleaded with the Captain to fuck him, to fuck him harder and he buried his face in the pillow and shoved upward when he felt the Captain push down hard filling his hole once again. The Captain fucked till he was spent falling on Thomas' back breathing hard.
The Captain eventually got up and rolled Thomas over where he saw the wet puddle of cum from Thomas' climax while being fucked.
Puta asquerosa!
Thomas sensed the Captain's displeasure with him ejaculating on the sheet and he watched the Captain untie him roughly, grab him by the hair and shove his face down into his own load. He knew what was expected of him and he pushed up till his face hovered over the sheet and let the Captain see him hold out his tongue just before he moved down and lapped up his own cum. The Captain let him go and watched how he ran his tongue over the wet spot lapping up the cum. He pressed his lips down on the sheet and sucked, drawing out the last remnants of cum and when he was satisfied he had gotten all of his load he moved to the edge of the bed, reached out to the Captain's hips and pulled the Captain's body to him. He took the Captain's flaccid cock and sucked it clean, drew his mouth along the flaccid shaft till it glistened wetly with his spit. When he was finished Thomas rolled over on his back and looked up at the Captain who stared down at him with a serious expression; just stared down at him for a long time. Slowly, the corners of the Captain's mouth turned upward and he began to laugh and he playfully swatted Thomas on the hip.
"I...fuck you often" the Captain said in broken English smiling down at Thomas.
Thomas watched him dress and head out of the room leaving him free this time. But he did hear the Captain lock the door from the other side. Thomas smiled wondering how long he'd have to wait. He laid there for a long time dozing from time to time. When he got up he didn't' bother to dress for it felt better to stay naked in the heat of the apartment. He tried the door to see if it was really locked and found it snugly secured. He looked at the windows and wondered. He moved to them and climbed up on a small box so he could lean out. It was too far up to reach the windows above. He looked down and saw the rudder and the surface of the ocean. He felt stymied as he moved back into the room. He looked over to the bed seeing rope. Stepping back on the box he leaned out the window looking up wondering if he could get the rope to hook something letting him pull himself up.
He knew the Captain wouldn't like him venturing around the ship, going down to where the crew slept or toward the bow where he knew on one level somewhere in that section of the ship that Sergeant's cabin was located, the one with the reddish brown hair and enticing bulges beneath his tight clothes.

Relevant content Edit
American summer is August right? I am guessing one month at the most. Anish (talk)
- Sounds reasonable. The Firefight DLC will be released on August 7, 2012, so Leviathan shouldn't be released much later. LeoJo (talk)
- Likely to be on a Tuesday as well, based on previous releases. I would say look for it no earlier than 21 August. 18.104.22.168
- Well here's an American to give the specifics. Summer doesn't technically end until September 21st, even though most of the kids go back to school the first week of September. But from the demo I've seen, they've already got the cast to do their voices (Garrus, Vega, and Cortez get their own dialogue, unlike ME2 DLC where it was just Shepard, Liara, or the new people), so I imagine it's close to finished. Still, "summer" means September 21st at the latest. RShepard227 (talk)
- Demo? Me want to see it. :P Anish (talk)
- Enjoy. There's also proof that the MP stuff is coming to single player. RShepard227 (talk)
- Thanks! Meh, I have only 800 MS points, so it looks like I won't be getting the weapons, not that they are needed as such, but its always fun to have some OP shiz :P Anish (talk)
- The Firefight Pack is only 160 MS points. Surely you could scrape up another 200 points in the couple of weeks to get Leviathan... Terminator-HIX
- Yes, but he'd be required to buy 400 points worth. As would I. Oh well, I guess the change can go to another Premium Spectre. RShepard227 (talk)
- Oh great, more paid DLC? Orbrital (talk)
- More? Hasn't there been only one other than this one? Anish (talk)
- Other than the Leviathan DLC, there is Firefight and another one (which I have forgotten about the name). Orbrital (talk)
- From Ashes. From what I've seen so far, BioWare has built Leviathan up to be ME3's answer to Lair of the Shadow Broker. If Leviathan is even nearly as good as LotSB was, it'll be worth the $10. And people can choose to pay $2 to bring some of the MP guns into the SP mode (which means I'll finally be able to try out the Harrier :D). I don't get why everyone is so against paid DLC now, when nearly all of ME2's add-ons were paid DLC? Terminator-HIX
- We can't expect THAT much free stuff from them. I have no problems paying for single player DLC, really, why does everyone think we are entitled to stuff. Bioware IS a company after all. Anish (talk)
- I don't have problems with paid DLC especially ME2's, but I have problems with both From Ashes and the Firefight Pack for varying reasons, From Ashes, well, just about every problem with day one DLC. The Firefight pack, a bit more complex, when the first multiplayer DLC came out, I guess PC gamers were able to mod the game so they could use it for SP, not really a bad thing, then apparently BioWarEA caught on to this and locked all weapons from subsequent packs into the EA server. And now they're releasing a pack you have to PAY to get the weapons for SP. So I look at it as nothing more than another pathetic cash grab. 184.108.40.206
- Then don't buy it. Problem solved. 6thLyranGuard (talk)
- Pretty much. And besides, only PC players would be inconvenienced by not being able to hack MP weapons into SP. If you play on a console, this pack is the only option you got to bring weapons across game modes. And it's not like any of these guns are on the disk; every gun in the Firefight Pack is either brand new, a former pre-order bonus or taken from the Resurgence or Rebellion Pack DLCs. Terminator-HIX
- I know, but it has iffy at best as a business tactic written all over it, and that's what I was getting at. 126.96.36.199
- It just floors me when gamers get up in arms over paying for DLC. It is not a "iffy" business tactic. It is the new reality. How do you thing the MP content; maps, weapons, etc., are able to be released at no cost? Purchase options for packs, that is how they are financed. To wail that releasing single player content for a price is a iffy business tactic is, well, ignorant. Game companies are into extending shelf life and tray life, they build a base package, and release options to keep the game viable until the next release. $10.00 is cheap if the expansion is on line with LotSB. Sorry, admins if you need to erase my rant I understand, sometimes you gotta get it out. Havok1369 (talk)
- I have nothing against paid DLC normally and understand why it is released at cost, such stuff like LoTSB, Dawnguard, and Arrival. I am slightly annoyed by the release of the Firefight pack for the reasons given but other than that I'm fine. What my real beef with it is when companies release Day One DLC like From Ashes which is obviously nothing more than a cheap cash grab and takes up development time that should have been spent on the original game, or could have simply been put with the disk at launch. Please don't try and defend such an obviously unethical business move. Day One DLC that is. 18.104.22.168
- Dude, it's been five months since that was released and the complaints had gotten old since before it was even released. 6thLyranGuard (talk)
- Of course its gotten old, but that doesn't mean a majority of the complaints aren't valid or that companies should do it again. 22.214.171.124
- The problem is that there's absolutely nothing new to be said on the topic, it's just regurgitating, again, the same old complaint. It's not adding anything new to the conversation and regardless of whether or not i wa's a valid complaint at the time it's no longer relevant. 6thLyranGuard (talk)
- It should also be noted that a lot of those people that complained about From Ashes being Day One DLC likely ended up buying it anyway. In the games industry, as with any commercial software, money can talk louder than the most obnoxious forum poster. Terminator-HIX
- Leo, you don't have to seperate bullets with a line, only *main* points Anish (talk)
- Heh, I saw it like that once, will keep that in mind for the future! LeoJo (talk)
If the announcement and release dates for the Extended Cut are any indication, it's possible that we might see Leviathan sooner than we think. I mean, even within the next week or two. They also said the EC would be out during the summer, and they released it on June 26 (in other words, extremely early into the summer), and they also announced the release date on June 22 (four days prior to the release date). It seems to me that they only start to go heavy with the announcements and promotional material once the product is next to ready.
If it doesn't come out very soon, before I leave for school, I am going to be very upset. I haven't dealt with how I'm going to be able to cope without playing a game every day I've been playing for months...Commandermax (talk)
Hah, I'm about to go over seas for a year... I have no clue what I'll do without my computer or smart phone. I hope to see this DLC before leaving out myself. As to the MS point cost, I wonder if they'll take the collected total of my customer service ticket rebate vouchers in exchange for the DLC at no cost? I think I've got 3 or 4 20% off my next purchase ones sitting in my email inbox. That video is awesome, Shepard and the squadmates are finally using the weapons you equip them with in cutscenes! It would rock if they tweaked the rest of the game to apply that as well. KaedAemoh (talk)
Massive offtopic Edit
This has been bothering me for a while...American summer is no different from Summer in any country that is above the equator. So if you are following the standard Gregorian calendar with 12 months and 365 days (366 this year), the Summer Solstice is on June 21st. The Autumn equinox (end of Summer); occurs on September 22nd. Even if you live below the Equator, the dates are the same, its just winter instead of summer. Thunder (talk)
- Are you guys seriously shitting me right now? I make a valid point that for most people on this Wiki, Summer is happening right now; and you guys turn it into a freaking religion and political discussion? This is neither the time nor the place for that Thunder (talk)
- Sorry about that. :( You were asking why Australia would call it "summer" when it's technically wintertime for them, right? I attributed it to the Roman Empire and the Church (which is true), with the British Empire spreading its customs all over the world, and things snowballed from there. To answer that, it's likely a linguistic thing from using a calendar developed before we fully understood that summer isn't uniform across the Earth. I'm sorry for my role in things getting out of hand. RShepard227 (talk)
- Why so serious, Thunder :P Alright, we're sorry we derailed your thread, but hey, at least it didn't turn into one of those flame wars that invariably ends with someone being compared to Hitler. :/ The question's pretty much been answered at this point; I guess I didn't see much harm in a bit of off-topic chat. I'm sorry if that rubs you the wrong way :( Terminator-HIX

|Please note: This article is about the bushi. For other uses of the term, please see Toruo (disambiguation).
Kakita Toruo was a bushi of the Crane Clan.
Kakita Dueling Academy Edit
Toruo trained in the Kakita Dueling Academy and became one of the favored students of its sensei, the Kakita Daimyo Kakita Noritoshi. [1]
Guilty as murdered Edit
A merchant was found killed, and evidence suggested he had been transporting Liquid Void. The magistrates found tracks of the murderer which led to the Academy. Noritoshi asked the students if anyone had heard or seen something strange. The student on guard was dismissed when he said a fellow student entered the garden through the exterior entrance without checking who it was. Kakita Kensho-in stepped forward and stated that she had seen Toruo entering the Academy during night while she was practicing her kata. Despite Toruo claiming his innocence the magistrates found Liquid Void in his chambers and he was convicted of the crime. [1]
Kensho-in Edit
He never knew Kensho-in had killed the merchant, allowed the guard to see her at the gate, and planted the beverage, to take Toruo's place as Noritoshi's favored student. [1]

Having spent three nights down by the Convention Center with no patio or balcony and not even able to access the pool area after 10pm, it was a relief to spend the last 2 nights of our visit right in the FQ and have a balcony. Coming from Boston, I wanted to enjoy the warm climate as much as possible so the balcony was important. And fun! The location cut down the walking a little bit so that was convenient. The hotel itself if absolutely beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Beds were extra comfortable, shower pressure strong and lobby coffee delicious. I've stayed at this hotel before and would definitely stay again.

What Is The Difference Between Modelling Paste And Gumpaste?
Decorating By dmcclend Updated 24 Jun 2008 , 11:22am by alanahodgson
Can someone please tell me if modeling paste used to make figurines is the same thing as gumpaste or if they are two completely different things? In the Debbie Brown book she says to use 1lb fondant and 2 tsp tylose to make the modeling paste. I was wondering if I could just use my Nicholas Lodge gumpaste recipe to make my figurines.
Modeling paste is made as Debbie Brown describes because you get the strength of gumpaste and the smoothness of fondant. Straight gumpaste might be too stiff or dry to quickly to make figures from. Modeling paste can also be made by mixing fondant and gumpaste. Start with a 50/50 mix and see how you like it.
I use the gumpaste for figurines. I'm just starting out but I find it pretty easy to work with but you have to work quickly to keep it from drying out.
I guess it depends on your preference.
Thanks Stephanie and Alana for the great info. I am going to try it both ways.
One more question Alana do I have to let the 50/50 mix mature for 24 hours?
Thanks Danyelle
If your fondant and gumpaste have already matured (if it is homemade), then no. Just mix it together and go for it.

mamas boy!!!!
i love my son so much. he is my everything. but lstely he has been being extremly clingly. i dont want to say this wrong bit if you understand what im saying. everytime i leave the room. he cries. like screeming crying. like its the end of the world or something. he never lets me put him down or anythinng. i can never finish cleaning or anything unless he is asleep. and he dosent sleep long unless im holding him. he is only nine months but i want to break him out of that before he gets too old. i want to start working but i wont be able to because he wont stay wwith anyone but me.
I think that can be something pretty common that they go through at 9 months, Shiesha!
so he will just break out of it on his own??
He should get over it...though, Nina's a year and still gets mad when I go somewhere without her...even if it's the bathroom

A former guide for the company that took British backpacker Zoe Woolmer to the Kings Canyon cliff where she died has told an inquest that a "tragedy like this was only a matter of time".
Another former guide said that little or no safety training is provided for guides by many tour companies in central Australia.
The 23-year-old tourist was on a guided excursion with The Rock Tour Company in June 2014 when her group was encouraged to climb down to a ledge and pose for a photo that would give the impression they were dangling from a cliff.
Ms Woolmer lost her balance and plunged 30 metres to her death minutes after the tour guide had demonstrated how to reach the hidden ledge at the Kestral Falls lookout "safely", an inquest has heard.
On Wednesday, a former guide with The Rock Tour Company, Timothy Cooper told the coronial inquest in Alice Springs that the company provided training "at three or four different plant and rock formations on the Rim Walk".
"There was no other training on that walk involved. No other safety training involved," he said.
In an email Mr Cooper wrote to police shortly after the incident, he claimed the company was "unsafe and unprofessional" and that taking tourists down to the ledge at Kestrel Falls "was general practice".
"I truly believed that a tragedy like this was only a matter of time," Mr Cooper wrote in the email, which was quoted at inquest.
The Rock Tour company said Mr Cooper had left on negative terms.
Another guide, Timothy Hall, told the coroner that, in his opinion, safety training for many central Australian tour companies was minimal or non-existent.
He said that management at The Rock Tour Company instructed him to take photographs of tourists performing the stunt and post them to the company's website and Facebook page.
"I was simply told that it was a requirement to bring a memory card [back from the tour] with these photos," Mr Hall said.
He said he later decided not to take people to the ledge because it was too dangerous.
On Tuesday the inquest heard from witnesses who had seen Ms Woolmer fall and from the group's tour guide, Rebecca Gethen.
Ms Gethen had been in the job for only six weeks and done four solo tours when the tragedy occurred.
She sobbed as she was questioned about why she had followed the company's itinerary despite warnings at the location.
"I didn't think," she said. "I just wanted to get everything right that was in the itinerary and I wanted to do a good job."
She said she didn't see the moment that Ms Woolmer fell.
"There was a scream and it took me a moment to register what had happened. She wasn't saying any words but she was groaning and moaning. She was looking up at me."
Ms Woolmer suffered severe injuries, including skull fractures, bleeding to the brain, a broken back, a fractured pelvis and a fractured shoulder blade.
She was still alive when rangers reached her about 50 minutes after she fell, but she died soon afterwards.'
The coronial inquest continues.

Extract of sample
Objective examination of the mentioned variables seeks to establish a relationship between the factors influencing teacher-student communication within a learning environment. The research article subscribes to the fact that student nonverbal responses are a desirable behavior among teachers in a college context (Malachowski and Martin 142). It acknowledges that all students will not engage in constructive communication through verbal means. In this regard, there is a need to understand how teachers can effectively use nonverbal communication in sourcing desired information from students. B. Theoretical Background Numerous studies suggest that students' nonverbal responses influence a teacher's degree of self-efficacy and job satisfaction. In addition, students respond differently to classroom instructions based on their perception on the instructing teacher (Malachowski and Martin 143). In this context, it is inherent to acknowledge the element of nonverbal immediacy depicted by a teacher within a class room. Previous studies show that nonverbal immediacy influences students' willingness to comply with a teacher's instructions. On the other hand, the aspect of communication apprehension affects effectiveness of communication between teachers and students in college classrooms. ...

Ryan Gosling's Directorial Debut Would Have Made a Much Better Music Video
Ten stills from Lost River that show the Gos is in the wrong business.

Ryan Gosling has broken my heart. And he'll break yours, too, if you go to see Lost River, the actor's directorial debut opening Friday. The movie was booed at Cannes last year, and sadly it's not hard to see why: the dialogue's laughable and the gore is outrageous, resulting in a vibe that's more film school thesis than David Lynch/Nicholas Winding Refn mashup. Still, it's packed with absorbing visuals, all of which seem inspired by some iconic music videos. Take a look at how shots from Gosling's film echo some venerable music videos:

|Re: Any good freewaretools to manage XML Databases?
|Thu, 27 May 2004 11:27:36 GMT
Hi Johannes, I don't know exactly what you mean by "XML database" since there a lots of approaches available to store XML data persistently, and later query and retrieve it, e.g. native XML database servers like Software AG's Tamino, XML extensions to relational databases like DB2 and Oracle, or you can even use object-oriented tools like Poet and Versant. But since you are looking for a freeware implementation, you might want to check out the JaxMe framework and connect it to a free DBMS like MySQL: Please refer to http://jaxme.sourceforge.net for JaxMe 1 and http://ws.apache.org/jaxme for JaxMe 2. I hope that helps a little, Christian.

I am an Acadian Louisiana artist. My interests are in the Louisiana wildlife, culture, and people of the State. My favorite mediums are sculpture, and fine art printmaking (etching, woodcuts, lithography, etc.) drawing, and painting.
I was born in Louisiana, living in many different areas of the state. As a naturalist, the wildlife of Louisiana has been one of my interests in subject matter for my art. Although, born in Monroe, my family roots are in the south Louisiana French Acadian culture that has had much influence on my life.
Sculpture, especially wood, is usually a subtractive process in that you cut everything away that doesn't belong. It is always nice to know what you're looking for in the chunk of wood, but the wood sometimes tells me in what direction to go. It's almost as if the wood talks to me. In most cases the result is better than what I had in mind in the beginning. My sculpture not only represents what I am creating but it also shows the soul of the wood in the natural beauty of the grain and color. I also do Bronze Sculpture using the "Lost Wax" method. This is an additive method of sculpture and a lot more involved – make original, make mother mold, make reproductions with wax, burn out wax, cast with molten bronze, break mold, chase the piece, and patina.
Printmaking is my most compelling medium. Even when working on a one-color print I must remember and work towards a picture that will be a mirror image of what I'm looking at. It's like having a surprise waiting for me. It becomes interesting when working on a multicolor print. I visualize in full color what I want and work on each color block or plate with the other colors to be added. In each color printed I must know what the color will be when it is printed over the other colors. Depending on how I work the transparencies, there are numerous color combinations I can create. To me, the process is more intriguing than mixing each color on a pallet and applying to a canvas. In some cases, I do some hand coloring of prints.
I'm not an artist that does art in one sitting. I create a project over time. I think of something I would like to do and then proceed to go in that direction. I try to make my art tell a story of a captured moment, incorporating some aesthetic movement.
As early as I can remember, I have been creating; drawing, and making wooden toys. I got interested in drawing after visiting the French Quarter in New Orleans with my Grandmother. We walked to the Quarter from her home on Frenchman Street. I liked going to the galleries and the Delgado Museum in City Park. I also liked to watch the pastel artists in Jackson Square do portraits and scenes of New Orleans.
My Dad was in the Pacific during World War II and when he returned home he had to find work wherever he could, so we moved around a lot. My sister and I spent our summers with our Grandparents in Monroe and New Orleans. I loved to play in the woods in Monroe, but I also loved New Orleans for its history, antiques and art. My Grandmother bought me a small set of pastels, with which I proceeded to make a mess of everything I tried to draw. I observed the deftness and swiftness of the New Orleans artists putting down their colors and slightly blending with their fingers, and I started doing a little better.
We moved around so much that my sister and I went to 13 different schools, both Catholic and Public. None had an art program. The teachers called my parents to discuss my drawing in class, for which I was punished. I once drew the teacher. I don't think she liked it. By the time I was in high school, I was the class artist for newsletters, etc. I even drew illustrations for my Dad, who was the County Agent for Evangeline Parish. I drew the life cycle of the Sweet Potato Weevil, and other such projects.
The day after I graduated from high school, I was at Pleasant Hall on the LSU campus to proctor for the Bankers Convention. I didn't know what I wanted to study at LSU, but I liked zoology, so I took all the courses for a BS in Zoology. While taking the required science courses, I got a job in the Natural History Museum under Boyd Professor, Dr. George Lowery. I was hired as an artist, and was to reproduce and paint reptiles and amphibians. I had done some taxidermy in high school, so I also helped Ambrose Daigre build the Arizona Desert scene, reproducing cacti and painting lizards and snakes. I started taking some art courses as electives.
I really liked those courses and got to know some great teachers: Paul Dufour (glass artist), Armin Schealor (sculptor), Russell Guirl (painter), Bob Wiggs (Sculptor), Jim Burke (print maker), Ed Pramuk (painter), Fred Packard (photographer), Don Thornton (multi-media), John Goodman (ceramist), and Caroline Durieux (printmaker). I took the last class in printmaking that Caroline taught at LSU. I enjoyed printmaking so much, that it became an obsession. She became part of my family, and I cherish the time I spent with her. She taught lots of different printmaking techniques, but her specialty was lithography not Intaglio (etching and engraving). This wasn't taught at LSU until Jim Burke came from Iowa. I never took a class from him, since I was graduating, but I helped him install the first roller press, which was the largest roller I had ever seen. (I understand that it is now considered to be a small press.) I remember Jim saying that we needed to put up a clothesline and hang ten dollar bills on it, because it had to be inspected by the feds to make sure it wasn't being used for counterfeiting.
When I graduated, I was a printmaker without a press. They were way too expensive for me, and I could no longer use the equipment at LSU.
Now, Don Thornton and I started talking about starting a gallery where we could show our art. There was no gallery in Baton Rouge for young artists to show their work, and once you left LSU, you could no longer show your work there. We started talking to our artist friends and teachers, and eventually started the Unit 8 Gallery, which eventually became the Baton Rouge Gallery. I was the first manager, but eventually had to find work that paid. I went to work as a graphic designer for WBRZ, Franklin Press, the State Highway Department, and the LSU Office of Publications.
After 6 years working for LSU I stopped doing the Graphic arts jobs. I wanted to do art for myself, not what somebody else wanted me to do. If I sold something, it was fine, but from then on, I produced only what I wanted.
I also started doing trim carpentry, specializing in fine-tuning and installing doors. I have made a living doing this for 42 years, while doing the types of art that I wanted to do.
I am now concentrating more on my art work.
