Republican Party faithful, smarting under Mitt Romney's election defeat, are trying to connect it to an alleged cover-up of the circumstances surrounding the murder of four US diplomats in Benghazi.

The NL Central is one of the more evenly matched divisions in baseball. The top three teams in the division have a legit shot at reaching the playoffs, which should make for an exciting regular season.
1st Place: Chicago Cubs
- LF Alfonso Soriano
- SS Ryan Theriot
- 1B Derek Lee
- RF Milton Bradley
- 3B Aramis Ramirez
- C Geovany Soto
- CF Kosuke Fukudome
- 2B Mike Fontenot
RHP Carlos Zambrano
RHP Rich Harden
LHP Ted Lilly
RHP Ryan Dempster
LHP Sean Marshall
SU: Carlos Marmol
CL: Kevin Gregg
The Cubs are once again loaded with talent, top to bottom. The problem they've had over the last couple of years though is keeping everybody healthy, especially their starting pitching. Zambrano and Harden are a potentially great 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation, but it's really anyone's guess as to whether or not these guys will last the whole season. Their bullpen should be a strength, as they have two guys who can close in Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg. Lou Piniella has hinted that Gregg could open the year in the closer's seat, as Marmol has struggled this spring, but they could flip-flop at some point in the year, depending on performance. The lineup got a nice addition in Milton Bradley, but he has health issues of his own to worry about. Now, if the Cubbies can keep these guys off the disabled list in 2009, they have the talent on paper to win over 100 ballgames, but we know that injuries happen in baseball, and chances of them staying healthy are slim. They need to minimize their health problems and get strong seasons from Harden, Zambrano, and Soriano, or else they'll lose their grasp of this division.
2nd Place: St. Louis Cardinals
- 2B Skip Schumaker
- CF Rick Ankiel
- 1B Albert Pujols
- RF Ryan Ludwick
- LF Chris Duncan
- SS Khalil Greene
- C Yadier Molina
- 3B David Freese
- DL: Troy Glaus (mid-May)
RHP Adam Wainwright
RHP Chris Carpenter
RHP Kyle Lohse
RHP Todd Wellemeyer
RHP Joel Pineiro
SU: Ryan Franklin
CL: Jason Motte
The Cardinals are led by Albert Pujols and Tony LaRussa and I've learned to never count those guys out, even when they may not have the best talent in the division. That's the case here as the Brewers might have more all-around talent than the Cards, but having a %100 healthy Pujols in the lineup and a healthy Chris Carpenter in the rotation should be enough to overcome some of their other weaknesses. Losing Troy Glaus until at least May hurts, but he'll be back at %100 after 4-6 weeks of rehab. I really like how they've constructed their lineup as they have one of the most powerful offensive lineups in baseball. Their starting rotation is a lot better than people give them credit for as well. Wainwright, Wellemeyer and Lohse were rock-solid last year and the addition of Carpentar will only help. They do have some questions in the bullpen, where they don't have a sure thing at closer, but they're hoping Jason Motte and Chris Perez take the initiative there.
3rd Place: Milwaukee Brewers
- 2B Rickie Weeks
- SS J.J. Hardy
- LF Ryan Braun
- 1B Prince Fielder
- RF Corey Hart
- CF Mike Cameron
- 3B Bill Hall
- C Jason Kendall
RHP Jeff Suppan
RHP Yovani Gallardo
LHP Manny Parra
RHP Braden Looper
RHP Dave Bush
SU: Seth McClung
CL: Trevor Hoffman
The Brewers could have been one of the NL favorites had they figured out a way to retain C.C. Sabathia, but unfortunately for them, it was never going to happen. What I don't understand is why they didn't try and replace him or Ben Sheets with someone else, and there were options (Derek Lowe, A.J. Burnett, Randy Johnson, and Oliver Perez, just to name a few). They did add the ancient Trevor Hoffman to the back-end of their bullpen and although he's ancient, Hoffman is still a decent pitcher and a better than average closer. I think Rickie Weeks is primed for a big year and the four guys following him are all-star caliber hitters, so offense won't be an issue. But every other facet of the game will be. They lack both the starting pitching, and the relief help to be able to match up with the Cubs and Cards, and they aren't the best defensive bunch in the league. If they make another mid-season blockbuster acquisition this July though, all bets are off, but as they sit now, they're a .500 team, but not quite a playoff one.
4th Place: Houston Astros
- 2B Kaz Matsui
- CF Michael Bourn
- 1B Lance Berkman
- LF Carlos Lee
- RF Hunter Pence
- SS Miguel Tejada
- C Ivan Rodriguez
- 3B Geoff Blum
RHP Roy Oswalt
LHP Wandy Rodriguez
RHP Brian Moehler
LHP Mike Hampton
RHP Russ Ortiz
SU: LaTroy Hawkins
CL: Jose Valverde
Like seemingly every other team in the division, offense won't be a problem for the Astros. The addition of Pudge gives them a veteran heavy squad who shouldn't hesitate to put up runs. However, when you move down the roster to the pitching department, you see their gaping holes. Outside of Oswalt and Rodriguez, their rotation is made up of castoffs and wash-ups. Brian Moehler and Mike Hampton would have been great adds....8 years ago. The bullpen is rock solid though as Jose Valverde is one of the more underrated closers in baseball, but their starting pitching won't keep them close enough for that to matter much.
5th Place: Cincinnati Reds
- CF Chris Dickerson
- LF Jerry Hairston Jr.
- RF Jay Bruce
- 2B Brandon Phillips
- 1B Joey Votto
- 3B Edwin Encarnacion
- C Ramon Hernandez
- SS Alex Gonzalez
RHP Edison Volquez
RHP Aaron Harang
RHP Bronson Arroyo
RHP Johnny Cueto
RHP Micah Owings
SU: David Weathers
CL: Francisco Cordero
The Reds are starting to fill their roster out with home grown talent, and they're still a few years away from being legit contenders. I like Jay Bruce, Joey Votto and Chris Dickerson, but after those guys, the lineup is pretty thin. The one spot where the Reds do have an advantage on some of the other teams in the division is in the rotation. They have put together a nice array of veterans and youth with Arroyo and Harang providing leadership and Cueto and Volquez are the young power arms of the future. They also have stability in their bullpen, which is more than a lot of teams can say. I just don't see them scoring enough runs to keep up with the teams I have ahead of them here.
6th Place: Pittsburgh Pirates
- LF Nyjer Morgan
- 2B Freddy Sanchez
- CF Nate McLouth
- C Ryan Doumit
- 1B Adam LaRoche
- 3B Andy LaRoche
- RF Brandon Moss
- SS Jack Wilson
LHP Paul Maholm
RHP Ian Snell
LHP Zach Duke
RHP Ross Ohlendorf
RHP Jeff Karstens
SU: John Grabow
CL: Matt Capps
The Pirates are one of the least talented teams in the National League, no two ways about it. Their everyday lineup lacks power and run production. They also have very little team speed to speak of and they don't have many hitters who hit for particularly high averages. I like Nate McLouth and Ryan Doumit but those guys aren't nearly good enough to carry this offense by themselves. The bullpen is probably the strength of their team heading into the season, and even that isn't a very strong group. They have major questions surrounding their starting rotation. Their top 3 (Maholm, Snell and Duke) are solid when they're on, but they've all been very inconsistent in their careers. Snell (7-12, 5.42 era) and Duke (5-14, 4.82 era) both need to rebound in a big way if the Pirates are going to avoid being reawarded the #1 pick in June 2010's Amateur draft.
Giants Notes:
As was expected, the Giants traded reliever Jack Taschner this Friday, and actually got something halfway decent in return for him. At first they got Ronny Paulino and it looked like he was going to be Bengie Molina's back-up, but then they flipped Paulino to the Marlins for 21 year-old right-hander, Hector Correa. Now, Correa isn't a premiere prospect by any stretch, but he's had some success as a pro and only turned 21 a week ago. The 6'4", 175 pounder struggled in 2008 as he battled an arm injury for most of the year, but really showed his potential when healthy in 2006/07. He's a tall, hard thrower, who averages 91-93 mph on the fastball with a big hook, but his secondary pitches need work. In the rookie league in '06, he carried a 1.76 era through 41 innings in his brief stint after being drafted in the 4th round of the amateur draft. The following year, in low-A ball for Florida in '07 (the same level Madison Bumgarner pitched at for the Giants in 2008), Correa made 11 starts, going 6-2 with a 3.22 ERA, striking out 83 batters in just 58 innings of work. Last year he only threw a combined 12.2 innings in the low minors in Florida's system as he didn't really get healthy all year. I would expect to see the Giants start Correa off in either low-A Augusta or high-A San Jose and he should be an intriguing arm to follow in 2009.

Question: What rights do they get in exchange for taking more
What rights do they get in exchange for taking more risk than creditors and preferred share-holders take? Most large Japanese corporations hold their annual shareholders meeting on the same day and require voting in person. Therefore, it is impossible for a shareholder who owns stock in more than one company to go to more than one annual meeting. What does this practice say about the importance and clout of individual shareholders in Japanese corporate governance?

Skip to comments.Cutting "Public Radio" would do wonders for public radio
Posted on 11/05/2010 10:22:08 PM PDT by dangus
A long time ago, there was this wondrous thing called "college radio." Some stations played classical music, some played experimental jazz. Some played alternative rock back when alternative rock was actually an alternative. Today, across the left end of the F.M. dial, there's nothing but the incessant droning of pretentiously accented liberals who pronounce Michele, "Mishay" and compete for who can pronounce third-world place-names in the most unique way. (Why is Nicaragua, "Neek-ah-rrrrragooah," but Quebec is "Kwebeck"? And excuse me, but English-speakers built the city of Los Angeles, so it's pronounced, "Lawss Anjilis," not "Loehss Onhileess" until Mexico formally announces the annexation.)
It's funny to hear leftists bemoan the loss of "programming diversity" on radio, to Clear Channel. I pointed out to a professor of mine that I could find Rush Limbaugh on precisely one station, but "All Things Considered" was on no fewer than twelve stations. Think I'm exaggerating? Depending on the weather, you can get NPR on Baltimore 88.1, Ocean City 88.3, Washington 88.5, Baltimore 88.9, Salisbury 89.5, Towson 89.7, Ocean City 90.7, Washington 90.9, Princess Anne 91.3, Baltimore 91.5, Dover 91.7, Ocean City 106.9. I could probably pull in Rockville or Frederick, but they're wiped out by other NPR stations on the same frequency less than fifty miles away!
Why so many stations? Because small stations can receive CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) funds only if they carry "public" radio. So, when a non-profit station finds it no longer worth it financially to provide its own local programming, rather than sell the license to someone who would actually put programming on the air, they simply buy NPR broadcasts, and screw the taxpayers and radio listeners. Hey, it's better than letting Glen Back or Laura Schlessinger into the local market, right?
So, the very public corporation created to supposedly provide for a diversity of opinions on the public air waves serves instead to make sure that the entire left side of the radio -- the side that's cheaper to broadcast on -- carries one and only one program option: National Public Radio. And if you want to hear classical, or experimental jazz, or improvisational blues, or whatever the alternative to alternative rock would be, screw you. This is the government, and we know what's best for you to listen to. You need to listen to diversity on the radio. And of course, we'll fire the one black guy in the entire operation, because he actually expressed a thought that went loose in his brain.
I agree. The sad thing is, if you want a degree in broadcasting, most college radio stations are running this fluff.
there is no creativity anymore.
And this should not be a big fight. If we can't cut them, we can't cut anything, including the hard stuff, and the country goes down the toilet.
Pacifica Radio also gets some funds even though some of their stations are run by volunteers and the tax dollars go directly to the radical leftist Pacifica Foundation.
I was picking up an hispanic spanish only station on AM here in Ohio the other night. It was in the evening so I have no idea where in the heck it was coming from.
My question is this. What kind of propaganda are they feeding on these stations ? And most conservatives and middle of the road types have no idea what slips under the radar. Lets be honest, nobody in the state capital or in Washington D.C. is truly monitoring these broadcasts other than the ones that use these stations for propaganda !
"And this should not be a big fight. If we can't cut them, we can't cut anything, including the hard stuff, and the country goes down the toilet."
Well put. And that includes the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Much of the leftwing of this country is funded by the government through grants and 'educational' funds, look at George Soros' Open Society Institute getting millions in tax-dollars for "voter education" in foreign countries.
This all needs to end.
Whether its Planned Parenthood or ACLU or ACORN-type groups they all rely on government funds. It should end.
We all looked at each other and radio legend & Radio/TV professor Bill Mercer said, "That will be hard to top as the years roll by, won't it?"
It was agreed that it would not take the FCC long to swoop down and shut us down, but as time went by, nothing came of it. Other than it being a great story to tell now and then.
And there was the time I was giving a live 5 minute news report when several of my very close, personal friends decided to slip into the studio and fill my pants with whipping cream--
But that can wait for another time... when we have a lot more beer--
If the National Science Foundation wants to give $700,000 for a play on global warming, they should be cut too.
It has to be really bad down in the Southwest. I imagine there are a good many spanish stations on this side of the border alone. and there are many other radio and television signals from Mexico that carry hundreds of miles into the US. Some of the higher powered Mexican AM stations probably cover the entire SW US !
And thats fine. I am sure there is some great programming on these stations. A lot of good christian and catholic programming im sure. news and sports info..ect
but how much propaganda is reaching the hispanic community in the United States ? I imagine more than we could imagine. That is what scares me. How do we fight back ?
Sometimes we get caught in our own bubble and it is easy to assume everyone else is watching the same news we watch on TV and seeing everything we see.
It was fun, but then the comm arts dept decided to go upscale (50,000 watts) and the fun faded fast...
As much as I have been actively resisting the concept, out of pique if nothing else, perhaps it si time to learn Spanish just so we can know what is being said...and Farsi, and...whatever else.
Frank from the Right Perspective radio program also has a unique way of pronouncing Nicaragua as well as a host of others countries & terms as well.
With the advent of FM radio and it's superior audio bandwidth, AM radio audiences diminished. AM radio stations could not compete with FM anymore due to this, so AM turned to "Talk Radio" --- but there was a huge problem there, as a government dictated ditty called the "Fairness Doctrine" initiated in 1949 got in the way, as government dictates usually do. /brphhhh
President Reagan started the skids of the 1949 "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987 and it was fully abolished later on after SC challenges (by liberals no doubt, the most illiberal ppl of all !!! /laughs)
We can thank Pres Reagan for the dawn of truly fair and balanced broadcasting, and one of the first broadcast hosts to take advantage of this was Rush Limbaugh -- and we all know how influential Rush turned out to be :)
How does the above ramble figure into an FR post about Public Radio? I dunno, but somehow it does. Mainly that there is little need for government sponsored 'public broadcasting' and that any free speech issues are quite well taken care of within the free market. Government should have nothing to do with it, as an entity such as NPR is beholden to their government benefactors and cannot, by its very funding source, be 'objective' in its reporting.
Yes, it pretty much should be doable.
I listen to a number of online radio stations. One of the best for variety is www.streekradio.com. Streekradio is based in Holland, and the diversity of their music library is staggering. Due to the time difference, I hear it during their late night, so there is more rock and less talk, so to speak. There are also news and information spots, but those are in Dutch. NPR never gets a listen, and it's been decades since I heard to Prairie Home Companion.
I haven't listened to AM in a long time, but there used to be "XERF, Del Rio, Texas -- with our 100,000 watt transmitter in XXX Mexico"
XERF was the only (English-language) station you could pick up anywhere in the SW at night...
XERB and Wolfman Jack on AM crusing 4th in Santa Rosa. Nothing finer.
My Dad sometimes could listen to WHO DesMoines onboard ship in the South Pacific at night in WWII. Radio waves bounce around at night and you get stuff from all over. Got the home town news the same time as his folks.
There is still college radio. I have been on a 130 watt (but we do streamcast!) univ. station near Boston for almost 30 years and we have alt. rock, blues, jazz, "chill music",
doo wop, ethnic and so on. We do not do pledge drives. We operate on a shoestring. A few "donorships". No long
"commercial breaks"—heck, no commercials. Some DJs are
current students, some are community members (I graduated
from there in '84) who can be much older.
>>And if you want to hear classical, or experimental jazz, or improvisational blues, or whatever the alternative to alternative rock would be, screw you
WGBH Boston, sister station to the TV folks who brought you the French Chef, dropped long-running blues and folk
shows and substituted news and talk shows—and you can guess
how they slant. Bon appetit!

A Dom in the MakingbykcRollins©
I met Maddie at a 4th of July barbecue given by a co-worker. She was an attractive blonde with long hair that covered one eye and fell in a cascade of waves to her plump breasts. When she moved, her rounded hips swayed enticingly. She reminded me of those pin-up girls in the 50s.
The party was boring and I was about to leave until she approached me and introduced herself. She was an excellent conversationalist and she had a great sense of humor. As her mouth moved I couldn't take my eyes off her cherry-colored lips. At times it was hard to focus on the conversation, because my mind wandered to her mouth wrapped around my dick.
At one point in our friendly chat she began to fidget as if she was uncomfortable. Concerned I asked, "Are you okay?"
She chuckled and nodded. "It's just this damn butt plug is beginning to irritate me."
My brow furled indicating that I had no idea what she was talking about. Again she chuckled and I felt the blood rush to my face.
She leaned into me and whispered, "Do you know what D/s is?"
They were nothing more than letters of the alphabet to me so I replied, "I guess not."
She smiled and said, "Would you like to know?"
What I'd like to know is why she had a plug in her butt. "Sure."
"It stands for Dominance and submission."
"Okay." I knew what the words meant, but I still had no clue as to what she was talking about.
"Are you familiar with BDSM?"
Good god more letters of the alphabet. "I don't think so."
She stood up and all I could think was there goes my BJ. Then, she handed me a card and told me if interested to give her a call. Hell yeah I'm interested. My vivid imagination could already feel my cock plunging deep into her throat. As she walked away I thought, with a wicked grin planted on my face, sticking it in her ass wouldn't be bad either.
I read the card, "Maddie Madson, Attorney at Law." Wonder if she'd like to get into my briefs.
That night I went to bed with a terrific aching in my nuts and I couldn't stop thinking about her lips and ass ... oh and her great mind, of course.
The next day I wanted desperately to call her, but I didn't want to seem too anxious. How long should I...could I wait? It was the weekend so, I spent all day Sunday online Googling BDSM. I read blogs offered by submissives and Dominants. I saw pictures that both aroused and horrified me. I searched butt plug and found all kinds of shapes and sizes. Hmmm, wonder what kind Maddie wore.
Monday, after work, I decided to give her a call. "Hey Maddie, it's Mike." Did I really think she'd remember me? "From Gordie's party, remember?"
After a brief pause she said, "Oh yeah. How you doing Mike?"
Well I'm horny as hell and want to know if you'd like to wrap those luscious lips around my cock. "I'm fine. You do remember me, right?"
She chuckled, "Of course I do. You're the short, dark, and totally handsome dude, with the piercing eyes."
Now it was I who chuckled. "I... umm ... I saw some pictures." Good god man. "I mean I read up on BDSM and there were some pictures and...ummm...I saw pictures of that thing you were wearing."
Again she chuckled and I couldn't blame her. I sounded like a complete idiot. "Relax, Mike."
I cleared my throat to speak but all that came out was "Yeah. Cool." The urge to hang up before I continued to make a fool of myself was paramount. "Look, I still don't know what BDSM is or the D/s you talked about, but the thought of it aroused me."
"What is it you want, Mike?"
I want a fucking blow job. "I don't know. I just think you're really attractive and I enjoyed our conversation and ... well ... I'd like to get to know you better."
"Would you like to get to know D/s better?"
If it means getting my dick sucked, yeah. "Sure."
"You don't sound too convincing." The pause on the other end of the line gave me the opportunity to assure her that I wanted to learn all about D/s, but I couldn't find the words. "Mike, listen, Domination is an art, it's not some sport fucking game."
I started to say something, but realized she had disconnected me. Frankly, I didn't blame her. I put my cell down, looked at my hand and said, "Well, buddy, it's you and me again."
For the next few months I studied D/s with a passion and the more I studied it, the more interested I became. I found a place where people in the lifestyle hang and one night I got the courage to go in.
The club wasn't at all what I expected. Although the distinct smell of leather infused the air, it was neither dark, nor dingy, but akin to a comfortable lounge. There was a curved bar on one side and candle-lit tables with comfortable chairs scattered in an organized fashion sat across from the bar. People mingled and laughed as people do in a festive atmosphere. Others showed off their talents on a small dance floor.
I took a deep breath and walked over to the bar for a desperately needed drink. Despite the innocuous atmosphere, I felt ill at ease. I sat down and had a look around. There were groups of submissives, both male and female, gathered in different corners giggling like school girls as they spoke. There were Dommes and Dominants drinking and talking about work or sports or politics. It all appeared normal.
Minutes later, a voluptuous dark-haired beauty, who wore a collar approached me. "What may I serve you, Sir?"
I smiled. I liked the sound of the word Sir coming from her. "Gimme a Jack and coke."
"Yes Sir, coming right up."
As she walked away, again I smiled, thinking how good my cock would feel in that nice ass.
When she returned with my drink she said, "You're new here."
I simply nodded.
"You can take your drink to the dungeon and have a look-see, Sir."
She pointed to the back of the club. I looked in that direction and there were two massive doors. To the right of the doors stood a formidable man clad in black leather guarding the entryway. A mask covered his face and his muscular arms were folded across his naked, hairy chest.
"There?" I asked, pointing."
She smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sir, there." Then, she walked away.
My eyes were fixed intently on the door until I heard a woman cry out. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw her naked ass over the knee of some dude who spanked her fiercely. I looked around and only I, and some woman seated at the same table as they, paid any attention. He continued to reprimand her and she cried out her apologies. Then, she slithered to her knees and begged profusely for his forgiveness.
"It is not I you should beg forgiveness, girl," he said, loud enough for all to hear. He lifted her by her hair and pulled her on all fours to the woman who watched the scene as I did. "Beg her forgiveness and beg it properly."
Whatever she said I couldn't hear through her sobs, but it wasn't long after she groveled at this woman's feet that the woman cupped the girl's face in her hands and kissed her forehead. Then I realized that I was the only one staring and quickly turned back to the bar.
After another drink I decided to make my way to the dungeon. I passed the table where the scene had taken place and the woman smiled at me. The girl knelt next to her and didn't look up.
When I approached the dungeon doors the guard asked in a husky voice, "Spectator or player?"
Although sure he was not one for levity that never stopped me before. "Just touring," I quipped in an attempt to conceal my nervousness. My witticism was not well-received.
"Allow me to rephrase my question," he said unamused. "Player or spectator?"
Clearing my throat, I replied, "Spectator." He handed me a booklet of rules that included, among other things, a house safe word. When I thanked him, he opened the door that led down to the dungeon and I made my descent to hell.
Surprisingly, the dungeon's ambience stimulated the senses. It was tastefully decorated and, in a dark way, it induced a feeling of romance, with indirect lighting and soft-playing music. Although implements of torture hung decoratively on the walls, amongst elaborate paintings depicting medieval torture, the place didn't seem at all sinister. Except for pictures in history books, I had never seen such instruments. The sight alone was enough to cause psychological terror. In my deepest imagination, I could not fathom an interrogator of yore actually subjecting someone to these horrors. It made my blood curdle.
As I eyed one of the paintings, a girl dressed in a see-through Grecian-type outfit approached me. She knelt beside me and, with her eyes cast down, she introduced herself.
"Greetings, Sir, I am called Geela." Her voice was silky soft and her olive skin glistened. Around her neck she wore a collar and attached to the collar was a leash that she held out in the palms of her hands. "If it pleases you, Sir, I will show you around."
"Oh, do you work here?"
She nodded, "I am here to serve you, Sir, if it is your wish."
Wow, I like this place a lot. "Serve me, how?"
"This girl is a guide, Sir. I can show you around and answer any questions you might have."
"I see," I said, lifting her chin. Her features were delicate and her lashes dark and thick "Look at me." When her eyes rose to meet mine I expected to see dark brown, but they weren't. They were navy and could very well be mistaken for a midnight sky. "I'd like that, Geela."
"Yes Sir," it will be my pleasure." She rose like a flower in bloom and handed me her leash. "If I may take the lead, Sir?"
"Ummm...yeah, sure," I answered, seeing as I didn't know my way around. She was adept at leading while making it appear that she followed.
"Do you have any questions, Sir, about anything in the lobby?"
I shook my head and she escorted me to a room equipped with the most bizarre furnishings I had ever seen. "Who owns this place?"
"May I speak freely, Sir?"
"I am not allowed to give you a name, but the man who owns the club is very prominent in the community. As you can see, he's an avid collector and seeks the real thing in implements of torture, but more often than not he has to settle for a good reproduction. What he cannot find on the market, he hires craftsmen to duplicate."
"He must have lots of money."
She smiled, "Yes, Sir, he's quite wealthy."
The room, colored in shades of gray with touches of black and deep, opulent purples had candles scattered about to set an alluring mood. Then, I noticed a spiked chair that opened in the seat like a toilet. Geela must have sensed my curiosity for she said, "It's an inquisition chair, Sir. In order to extract the truth from an assumed criminal they were stripped naked and strapped in. Then, hot coals were burned under their bare bottoms."
I felt the blood drain from my face. "That's totally barbaric."
Geela snickered. "Yes, Sir, it was, but the person was kept there until the powers that be heard what they wanted to hear."
I just shook my head. "Truth or not?"
"I suppose so, Sir."
In addition to the collectables, there was numerous paraphernalia designed for the lifestyle. One that particularly fascinated me was the "horse." While I had seen many in pictures, I had not seen one as elaborate as this. Rather than a straight plank, its length was triangular. Although the upholstery was the finest of leathers it did not look as if it offered much comfort.
"This section of the dungeon is a museum, Sir," Geela said. "Nothing in here is used."
Happy to hear her say that, I chuckled.
She continued on with the tour showing me racks, pillories, breaking wheels and then she stopped in front of a horrific looking piece of equipment. "This is called the Judas Cradle, Sir."
"It looks lethal."
"In most cases it was," she said with a slight snicker. "A person was placed in this harness above the pyramid-shaped seat that was inserted into their anus or vagina and then lowered by the ropes." She cleared her throat and added, "They were either impaled or infected."
"Okay, this is way too gruesome for me."
"Sir, this is only a collection," she said with a smile. "It's part of history."
At the far end of the room sat what looked like an antique wardrobe. "What's in there, skulls?"
Geela looked at me and winked. As she moved slightly ahead of me the candle's glow shimmered on her diaphanous outfit and the crack of her ass shown through, causing my heart to skip a beat.
"This is a 17th century Louis XV armoire. Collectibles from throughout the ages are stored in here," she said as she opened the doors. "Nipple clamps, gags, assorted dildos and," she held up a torpedo like object that was in a box with three others of various sizes, "butt plugs."
"Mhmm," I muttered as Maddie came to mind.
"They were actually used in medicine, Sir."
"Really?" I couldn't help but laugh.
She nodded. "Yes, Sir. Rectal dilators."
"And just what did they cure?"
"Purportedly, a number of things, Sir," she said seriously. "Their main purpose was to correct constipation, if I'm not mistaken."
"I see." So, Maddie was constipated I thought with an inner chuckle.
When the tour of the museum was complete she took me to another room in the dungeon called "The Library." The walls from floor to ceiling were bookcases filled with erotic literature, the titles of which I was unfamiliar. Then, I spotted a name I recognized...De Sade. "Do people use this library?"
"Yes, Sir. It's a well-equipped library, housing books of both fiction and non-fiction. All BDSM related.
All I wanted was a BJ and here I am learning the history of a lifestyle. Still, the more I learned the more interested I became.
"May I ask you a question, Sir."
"Yes, you may," I replied, surprised that I didn't use my usual response of sure.
"Are you a Dominant?"
"I don't know what I am."
"While Domination is innate, it's a skill that must be learned ... an art, Sir."
"Yeah, so I've heard," I snickered.
"I don't want to sound disrespectful, Sir, but why are you here?"
All I wanted was a fucking blow job. "I dunno."
"Would you like to continue the tour?"
"I guess."
As she led me to a steel door, she said, "There's a discussion group every Monday night in the conference room that might interest you, Sir."
I simply nodded and then stiffened when she opened the door. "What the fuck?" There, I saw a long hallway that had doors on both sides. Some of the doors had small groups of people who stood looking through an opening.
"This is the S and M portion of the dungeon."
Good grief more letters of the alphabet. "Sadism and Masochism," I said, finally recognizing letters of the alphabet as words. The sounds that came from the rooms were deafening. My knees buckled when we approached the first viewing window of this medieval place. There, a submissive, hung helplessly from the rafters. The masked Dominant cracked a whip upon the cement floor several times before lifting it back and snapping it sharply upon her nakedness. Her agonized howl mingled with the screams of others. Those viewing commented on his expertise and the artful design he left on her body without breaking the flesh. Beads of perspiration erupted on my brow and I felt an unmistakable sickness in the pit of my stomach. "I want to leave," I whispered.
She looked at me knowingly. "It's consensual, Sir," she said, as though that would bring me comfort.
I closed my eyes and shaking my head stammered, "I don't understand it."
The cries grew louder and the walls seemed to close in as the whirring of whips whisked through the air to find their mark. My heart pounded and I could barely catch my breath. I, literally, had a panic attack.
Geela quickly led me to a near-by empty room, shut the door and pulled the curtain. Immediately I made my way to a bench and sat down. Hunched over, I buried my face in my hands. "It's not in my nature," I said repeatedly. When I felt Geela's hands on my thighs as she knelt between my legs, I looked down at her. "It's not in my nature."
"And that's all right, Sir. It's only one aspect of BDSM; a part which some people are drawn to, while others, like yourself, are not. There's nothing wrong with that. But you should know that Dominants and submissives have different needs, different wants and different limits. You both have to be on the same page. In order to establish a mutual desire, you must first know your own needs and wants and limits.
I thanked Geela for the tour and pulled out my wallet.
"I don't accept gratuities, Sir," she said sharply.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you...I...I just..."
"It's okay, my apologies Sir," she said softening her tone. "The discussion groups are posted on our website. If you're at all interested, I think you might find them informative."
I had learned a valuable lesson about myself that night and left with no regrets.
A few weeks passed and in those weeks I was obsessed with the D/s aspect of BDSM. Because I still had so many questions, I finally acquiesced to attending one of the discussion groups at the club. The same dark-haired beauty was behind the bar. She smiled sweetly and welcomed me.
"Greetings, again, Sir. Jack and coke?"
I returned her smile and nodded.
When she placed the drink in front of me I asked her where the group met and she looked at the clock behind her and then told me where the conference room was, "But they won't be meeting for another 15 minutes, Sir."
"Yeah, I'm early."
"You can still go in. I think there are others in the room." She extended her hand, "My name is Cinnamon."
I reached out for her hand and chuckled, "Come on now, your parents didn't really give you that name."
She blushed, "No Sir, but it's the name I go by here."
"Like Geela?"
"Yes, Sir, like Geela."
"So we're not supposed to use our real names here?"
"Oh no, Sir, you can use your real name if you wish, the owner just prefers to name us."
"I see," I said, wondering what caused him to name her Cinnamon."Well, I'm Mike.
"Nice to meet you Sir," she said, leaving me wondering why I gave her my name if she wasn't going to use it.
After another drink, I made my way to the conference room. When I entered, the people who were there conversing looked up briefly and then continued their chat. The chairs were in a circle with one missing chair. Feeling ill at ease I quickly took a seat and tried to not look around. But it was difficult to not noticed the scantily clad girls, some topless, others completely naked, all collared and leashed, kneeling at the feet of their Masters or Mistresses. There was one topless male sub and for some reason I felt embarrassed for him. His Mistress petted his head as he looked up at her adoringly.
The room began to fill up and shortly after I heard a whirring sound of a motor. I looked toward the sound and spotted a man in a wheel chair. He moved to the space left open by the missing chair and introduced himself as facilitator of the group. His powerful voice did not seem effected by his disability, nor was his demeanor curtailed in any way. He, if standing, would be a formidable figure with his large, broad chest and hands. His ebony-colored eyes were piercingly hypnotic. His long, dark hair was neatly pulled back in a pony tail. He, or someone, meticulously attended to his appearance.
"Welcome one and all," he said. "If you are new to the discussion group, kindly introduce yourself."
My heart raced and my mouth was dry as cotton. I looked around waiting for someone to make their introduction, but no one did and everyone there stared at me. I cleared my throat and attempted to produce some saliva. "I'm Mike."
"Hi Mike," the group said in unison.
It sounded like an AA greeting and I felt like I should add "And I'm an alcoholic," but refrained from humor that others might deem inappropriate.

Friend looking for customizer
A friend of mine is looking for someone who can customize his WP theme, which is The Guru Theme by Gobala Krishnan. He no long has access to the person who did his site for him, and as an absolute noob, needs help in changing prices, updating information, etc. The work that he requires is way outside of my abilities. Contact me for specific information.
