LONDON (Reuters) - Sterling traded below $1.22 on Monday and weakened against the euro, hurt by rising gilt yields and media reports of disagreements between the Chancellor and his cabinet colleagues over the terms of Britain's exit from the EU.
The Daily Telegraph said Phillip Hammond could quit his post after he was excluded from government meetings because he criticised the "hard" Brexit stance of Prime Minister Theresa May. Although the Treasury denied that Hammond will quit, it did little to instill confidence in the pound, traders said.
Sterling fell to $1.2172, having lost over 6 percent in the past two weeks after May raised the spectre of a "hard" Brexit where the government will negotiate for an exit that favours tighter immigration controls over free trade, likely curbing foreign investment needed to fund Britain's huge current account deficit.
The euro was up 0.2 percent at 90.20 pence while trade-weighted sterling was at 73.9, not far from a record low of 73.4 struck last week. Speculators trimmed their net short bets against the pound in the week to Oct 11. [IMM/FX]
Traders said the selloff in gilts was hurting sentiment towards the currency. The 10-year UK gilt rose to 1.17 percent, trading near its highest since the June referendum.
"Investors are beginning to demand a higher premium for holding UK government debt because of two factors -- the political uncertainty and risks about the economic impact of Brexit, and inflation expectations are rising on the back of a rapidly declining pound," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at City Index, a local brokerage.
Speaking to the BBC, Bank of England deputy governor Ben Broadbent said the weakness in sterling could cause inflation to overshoot its 2 percent target but that tightening monetary policy would have "undesirable consequences".
That was broadly in line with what Governor Mark Carney told a public meeting on Friday. Carney said he was willing to allow inflation to run "a bit" higher than the central bank's 2-percent target to help employment and allow Britain's economy to grow.
Inflation is expected to rise above 2 percent in 2017 because of a sharp fall in the value of the pound - a 16 percent tumble to record lows in trade-weighted terms.
At the same time, the economy is expected to slow as Britain begins the complicated process of leaving the EU and tries to negotiate new trade deals, leaving the economy facing a potentially toxic mix of a tumbling currency, rising bond yields, accelerating inflation and sluggish growth.
"Some seem to interpret these (surge in bond yields) as an early indication of capital outflows from the UK, which could escalate into a full-blown balance of payments crisis," Credit Agricole said in a note.
But they added that with UK stocks rallying, it was unlikely that foreign outflows were gathering pace.
"This interpretation is further corroborated by anecdotal evidence from our recent meetings with clients in Asia. These confirmed that capital outflows from the UK and/or reserve diversification out of sterling are not an imminent threat."

The five best wireframing and prototyping tools for 2016
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I understand." – Benjamin Franklin
Whenever you're building an app or website you need to communicate your concept with a lot of different people. These stakeholders include end users, investors, media, designers and the developers who will build the technology.
What was previously the exclusive domain of designers and product managers is becoming increasingly accessible to tech creators without these backgrounds.
Words only take you so far and do a poor job of communicating what's in your head. The best way to share your concept is to put it in someone's hands and let them use it. Building the entire solution is not efficient when it comes to cost or time. The optimal solution is to build prototypes and wireframes.
It's extremely rare that the concept you start with is identical to the app or website you end up building. Wireframing and prototyping is an excellent way to capture your initial concept and begin the iteration process.
As you show your ideas to your customer through these visual and interactive mediums you'll gain insights that you'll naturally want to incorporate into the product as you move forward.
In the past decade we've seen an explosion of inexpensive web tools, widespread conversion from waterfall to agile/lean software development process and mass awareness of design and product thinking (hat tip to Apple). As a result, there has driven the creation of a lot of new wireframing and prototyping tools.
Here are four of the best and most important solutions that you should evaluate for your current or next technology project.
InVision: The Free Design Powerhouse
This is the tool we recommend our customers use if they're going to wireframe their concept. Their product is beautifully designed and they've clearly eaten their own dog food when it comes to prioritizing features that serve the user.
If you're looking for external validation then knowing that companies like Uber, Twitter, Shopify, and Hubspot are using them should put your mind at rest on that front.
In 4 short years the company has gone from founding to raising $79.1m in venture capital — a testament to it's popularity and growth.
But if it takes more than social proof to get you excited then sign up for free and take the product for a spin. What you'll see are some of the most impressive design prototyping features you can find.
While InVision certainly has paid options (which let you create multiple prototypes at once), their free option gives you access to every single one of their fantastic prototyping features.
InVision's transitions and animations support features one of the most comprehensive, useful tools in the world of mobile app design: the customizable "hotspot".
Basically, you can turn any spot on the screen to into a clickable link to another screen. That's where it goes from wireframes and mockups to being a clickable prototype.
Just a few months after acquiring code-focused design tool Macaw, InVision went on to acquire Silver Flows, a design tool that streamlines the designing process by removing one of the most tedious aspects of mobile apps: designing in Sketch and then having to switch tools to turn that design into a prototype (a previously high friction process).
Combine all of that with their no-nonsense approach to design communication (ex: real-time design collaboration, incorporating contextual feedback, threaded conversations) and their custom board creation tools, and it's clear that InVision is about more than just designing an elegant mobile app–it's about changing the way we mobile apps are designed.
Axure: The Detail Oriented Designer's Paradise
Axure is targeted at people who build wireframes and prototypes for a living and the learning curve is steep for folks without a design background.
In contrast with Invision, Axure's focus is less on ease of use and more on offering a fully comprehensive and robust set of tools to satisfy the most obscure of design edge cases.
Don't get us wrong — Axure is still an efficient service you can use to build your next app. To their credit, Axure manages to avoid overloading the average mobile app designer with too many features.
Still, the designers that are going to get the most out of this platform are the ones who are excited by things like semi-transparent fills, robust interaction event options and all kinds of designer dream tools.
The pricing is obviously geared toward people who use this software in the course of their work and uses a pre-SaaS world structure of paying for a license per version (a standard plan costs $289/license, with their pro plan coming in at $589/license). The price includes a feature heavy toolkit, in-depth support documentation and a built-in library of customizable widgets.
For professionals the pricing makes sense but it's probably best to start on InVision and then try out Axure once you're interested in seeing what else is out there.
Flinto Lite: Where Efficiency Meets High Fidelity
Flinto Lite was built with according to the thesis that the app design process is broken. Their thesis is that while prototyping is slowly becoming a more respected aspect of app development it still isn't being introduced into the process until after development has begun.
Prototyping and wireframing should be used to define the scope and discover what the product should be. When you introduce it late in the process and after the scope has been defined then it won't have the impact and benefit it should have.
Basically, Flinto argues that prototyping shouldn't be something tacked on to the end of your app–your business should be testing with interactive prototypes from the very start. Flinto Lite has been built to avoid disrupting your workflow, with simple and easy prototype creation as one of its cornerstone features.
Flinto Lite enables allows you to update your screens as you create them, reorganizing without any hassle or headache. Beyond that, you can build links instantly between screens (or just connect screens visually).
For the price of $20/month (per member), Flinto Lite helps you make as many prototypes as you need. They'll even let you share them with anyone!
By understanding that the app design process has a long way to go (especially when it comes to using prototyping properly), Flinto has managed to create an intuitive platform that makes development-long prototyping easier than ever before.
Protoshare: The Ultimate Collaborative Prototyping Tool
App design collaboration is an important and often neglected consideration when evaluating prototyping tools. It may not be the most exciting aspect of building an amazing app, but it's definitely a critical part of the development stage.
Apps and websites, with rare exceptions, are intended to be used for multiple people and to drive user behaviors that align with the goal of the business creating the technology. Creating apps is already, by definition, collaborative.
Protoshare recognizes and enables collaboration amongst the key stakeholders (including clients) on a technology project. That reduces organizational complexity and risk — these are the issues most likely to derail or kill a technology project. By centralizing key information and streamlining discover, input and decision-making Protoshare lets projects move faster.
Protoshare is first and foremost a prototyping tool and while collaboration is a key focus that's not to take-away from it's main feature-set.
Protoshare's design features are just as strong as their collaboration workflow and includes drag-and-drop components, the ability to create annotations on your prototypes and robust on-page interactivity. Their business level pricing option is $59/month (per editor) making it a popular choice in the prototyping industry.
Pen And Paper
The fastest, cheapest and easiest way to begin prototyping is also the one that's been around the longest — pen and paper. Even if you lack any artistic ability you shouldn't underestimate the value of committing your ideas to paper.
If nothing else you can sit side-by-side with other stakeholders to walk them through your concepts. It's also a great way to do a mental dump and untangle your initial thoughts. You'll need to move to something more sophisticated as you go but this is an important and useful first step.
Once you have these you can also use the mobile aptly named mobile app: PoP (Prototyping On Paper) to take pictures of your sketches and turn them into clickable wireframes.
Moving Forward
New apps or websites have to iterate to find their product-market fit. During this process it's important to continuously iterate to incorporate feedback and realizations that arise.
That means leveraging technology that makes easy to redesign your product so you can continue learning at high speed. Once you land on a strong product design the wireframes and prototypes you have will be instrumental in communicating with developers so they can build the product.
If you're a creator then the tools discussed above are the ones you should evaluate when you begin building your technology.

- APSARA Authority
End Elephant Riding at Angkor, Siem Reap
It's time to end elephant riding at the Angkor archaeological park in Siem Reap, Cambodia. A cruel tourist attraction that is proven to be harmful to elephants, and can only damage the tourism industry of Cambodia, must finally come to an end.
The recent death of Sambo, a female elephant used for tourist rides, at the Angkor temples should be the final wake-up call for the community and tourism industry to take the steps needed to end this horrific practice.
There is no such thing as cruelty-free elephant rides. Tourists may think that riding an elephant on holiday does not cause harm - you often can't see the cruelty - it's hidden from view. What you don't realise is that a 'once in a lifetime' or 'bucket list' item for you, means a lifetime of misery for wild animals.
Ask that APSARA (Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap) ban elephant riding at Angkor. APSARA is the Cambodian management authority responsible for protecting the archaeological park of Angkor and is in charge of the research, protection, development and conservation of the park.
Recently, thanks to World Animal Protection, 114 global companies have agreed to no longer offer visits to venues with elephant rides and shows. This is a clear sign that times are changing and the leaders of tourism industries understand and agree that this practice must end.
Please sign, share, and let your voice be heard in calling for an end to elephant rides at Angkor.

Want to know how to capture your audience's attention? Here are 5 strategies you can learn from comedian and political activist Dick Gregory.
 Holding a university audience's attention would be tough in any decade, yet doing that in the late 1960s was especially difficult. That was the era when students demanded unprecedented rights and involvement in university decisions. Student movement leaders even held sit-ins for days at a time in administration offices. Don't trust anyone over 30 became the campus mantra.
 Yet on February 11, 1968, when comedian/civil rights activist Dick Gregory spoke at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, Memorial Auditorium filled long before Gregory's introduction. Even more significant: students remained spellbound by Gregory's speech for 90 minutes. No one left, and when the speech ended, applause indicated the audience would have remained for another hour.
 Why? Though he had been discovered and promoted by Hugh Hefner and then featured by talk show king Jack Paar, Gregory's reputation as a speaker fell far short of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's. So what made Dick Gregory so mesmerizing that day? FIRST: He was the living example of his message . Rather than accept the comfort of his wide acclaim and solid income, he risked his career and his life in calling for justice for black people at all economic and social levels. Just prior to the famed march on Selma , Alabama , Gregory spoke there for two hours to foster participation. Daily, he endured slurs, threats, and rejection.
 SECOND: He spoke without bitterness, and issued no summons for revenge . While some other black leaders demanded reparations and total upheaval, Gregory remained a calm spokesman for reason and for change through the legal system. THIRD: He appealed to students through his trademark humor. Audience members roared with laughter when he told about ordering chicken as a customer in a segregated restaurant. When his order arrived, three white young men told him, Whatever you do to that chicken, we'll do to you. Without a second's delay, Gregory put down his knife and fork, picked up the chicken. . .and kissed it.
 FOURTH: He could switch the mood from funny to very serious with a quick, smooth transition . Example: How would you feel, he asked, if that 'cracker' (term used widely then for a white racist) had thrown you to the ground, held you down with his foot on your neck and a shotgun pressing against your head? FIFTH: Gregory created the illusion of the first time. Though certainly he had given this same speech to dozens of audiences previously, his lively conversational style--seemingly off the cuff--suggested that all he said was coming to him spontaneously without rehearsal or memorization. University students, he sensed, got their fill of lectures daily in their classes. That made his let's chat about this style that much more welcomed.
 Yes, when Dick Gregory ended his speech to thunderous applause, he left us eager to hear more. I say us, because I was one of those fortunate students in the auditorium--possibly the one who clapped loudest and longest.

COMMENTARY: Dark days ahead for streetcar supporters
There have been a lot of ups and downs for Cincinnati streetcar supporters since the election of Mayor John Cranley.
The high point was when Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld announced before Thanksgiving that he would not vote to kill the project, meaning they needed just one more vote to save it from cancellation.
Monday was the low point. There appear few avenues left for them to save this project. Here's why:
1. The ordinances moving through city council all appropriate money so that the city administration can implement a pause in the project. Because council (ironically) will vote to spend more money on the project, there can be no referenda on them. They go into effect immediately upon passage, which will likely be on Wednesday.
2. Because of the appropriation in each ordinance, any public vote will be held on Cranley's terms. His top aide, Jay Kincaid, told reporters that supporters could gather signatures for a charter amendment, one that apparently would put a requirement that the city build a streetcar in the equivalent of the Cincinnati's constitution.
That's like putting an amendment in the United States Constitution requiring the U.S. to build high-speed rail. If that sounds bonkers, then you understand why Cranley prefers it. By the time it's on the ballot, the city surely will have lost federal funding for the streetcar, forcing the city to fund it entirely from local sources, something that's probably even a deal breaker for many of the project's most ardent supporters.
It's a rigged game designed by a politician who loudly and repeatedly proclaimed his support for "the people's sacred right to referendum" during his mayoral campaign.
Councilman Christopher Smitherman said Monday night that he believes so strongly in referendum (which he correctly noted that some streetcar supporters denied him when it came to the parking lease deal) that he wants a public vote no matter what.
"You don't have to collect a signature at all," he said. "I'll make it easy for you."
3. There appear to be no swing votes on pausing the project. Vice Mayor David Mann and Councilman Kevin Flynn are dug in, believing that they can pause the project without the consequence of the feds yanking funds altogether. The only ray of light for supporters would be if the feds don't keep their word, an examination of the costs comes back showing the costs to cancel will be as much as project executive John Deatrick has said, and Flynn or Mann are then persuaded.
Mann did leave the door open for that on Monday night.
"What I will do depends on the answers to those questions," he said, referring to the cancellation costs. "Then we'll circle around and make a decision. Today's decision is simply and only to pause so we can have that process."
Other rays of light for supporters:
• There were two shots across the city's bow on Monday. The feds froze funding and will not allow the city and the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority to draw further cash from the federal grant money allocated until the political situation is resolved. If anything, that showed Flynn and Mann that council's actions aren't occurring in a vacuum and the feds are watching.
• The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation said it might yank funding for projects requiring private dollars – including Smale Riverfront Park and Music Hall. It also offered to pay for a study of the streetcar's costs.
Haile is the first major Cincinnati institution to publicly challenge cancellation of the project. If others in the corporate community start talking, it will at least get the majority's attention.
It also might be too late. Cranley's colossal ego (you can't be an experienced politician without one) and the fact that he has doubled down on his opposition probably preclude him from compromising, even if the big-wigs try to put heat on him. He brushed aside the Haile letter.
"I appreciate what the Haile Foundation has done, but I thought that third paragraph was a threat, and I'm not going to respond to threats," Cranley said.
Put yourself in Cranley's shoes. He already rolled over corporate Cincinnati on the walking-dead parking lease before even being sworn in.
Even if they care about the streetcar (and there isn't evidence that the Fourth Street crowd has a particular passion for it, not that they share their thoughts with the media), why would Cranley think the result on the streetcar is going to be any different?
I asked an experienced local politician why he thought the city's corporate community hasn't stepped in to try to resolve the streetcar issue before Cincinnati becomes a sort of Beirut on the river. After all, it brokered a deal between squabbling city and county politicians on the Banks and helped eliminate the humiliating, Kryptonite-to-young-talent, anti-gay Article 12 from the city charter.
"Have you met John?" he said, laughing.

The ancient gold and silver coins, worth an estimated $500m, were recovered from a sunken Spanish ship in 2007 by a US exploration company. In the ensuing legal battle, Spain successfully argued that the treasure was part of its heritage and should be given back.

I was sitting outside the cottage door, just in my shorts, wondering if the farmer who had rented the rustic Cotswold cottage with the thatched roof and the rose trellis beside the door to me for two weeks had misinterpreted my offer. It hadn't been in so many words, but I think I had been clear enough in my nonverbal delivery. But maybe not. Maybe signaling here in England was much different from how it was in the States.
I had been antsy with my writing, not being able to make much progress. Back in New York, I would have known what I needed to break the blockage: attention from one of the muscle men in the gym down on the first floor of my building. I would go downstairs and stand in the doorway. They would see and understand what I needed, and one of the hunks would put his bar bells down, climb the stairs with me, and fuck the stuffing out of me. Then I would give him the proverbial pat on the head and send him back to the gym. After that I could and would write all night. I never had a problem finding someone down there who wanted me. I always was in control.
The Gloucestershire farmer had reminded me of the men in the gym, but more honestly built, less malleable perhaps, and a man of determination. A bit of danger for someone like me, who wanted to call all of the shots. He was a man of the fields, big and bulky, but built like a bodybuilder. His muscles were, I'm sure, the result of hard work on the land rather than the artifice of the gym. His cottage had been listed on a gay-friendly Web site, and it had rather explicitly indicated that single, young, gay men were preferred. So I had hope that there would be something to be had from him while I hid away in the Cotswolds and tried to make progress on my book. A bit of dalliance when it pleased me. When I saw him, standing by the cottage door this morning, when I drove up, I almost melted. He was big and beautiful in a brutish, stubbornly arrogant way. I had occasion to hope there would be something from him for me, and even more reason to hope that when he told me that he was single, that he lived alone, and that he worked the farm himself.
I told him I was gay and a writer, and that I had come to write, not to sightsee. I asked him if he was a reader, but he said he was more of a music listener-and a dancer. I had visions of him clogging away at a village fair and regretted that he wasn't a reader. If he had read my books, he would have known what I wanted from a man like him, what I expected from a man who wanted to go with me. I told him, still hopeful, that I worked mainly at night at the computer and that my mornings, such as they were, were spent spinning the stories in my mind. But the evenings, I said, I usually liked to be away from the writing. I often read in the evening, or talked with someone, if someone was there to talk to.
"I dance in the evenings," he said, simply. From the first moment, he was direct, straightforward, with me, not the least anxious to fit in with my plans.
I thought then that he hadn't taken the hint-or, worse, had caught the invitation and had rejected it. I was a bit miffed. I wasn't used to being rejected. But then, this was England, not the United States. I recognized that tastes could be different by differing location. He looked like he probably fancied someone rougher, less complex, less sophisticated than I was. I had visions that while I was reading in the evening, he would be in the village dancing, probably clogging. I don't know why I thought they clogged in this region, but it seemed to go with the atmospherics here. Everything was rural. Beautiful, but rural. The farmer seemed rural too. Very basic, probably his whole life devoted to his farm. Rural but beautiful. But seeing him in my mind dancing some silly village dance lessened his appeal to me. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have given up earlier in the day before he set off for his fields; I'd have been at his door asking for a cup of whiskey or something-with the emphasis on the "something."
The twilight was so inviting that I was sitting at the cottage door next to the rose trellis, using the light streaming through the doorway of the essentially one-room cottage to light my page. I had only read a few pages when I saw him approaching.
He was all cleaned up, a bottle of some liquor-probably a local brew-in his hand. He was stripped to the waist, wearing baggy farmer's trousers below, which only accentuated the hard, barrel chest and tapering down the torso to flat abs telling the tale of what a serious six pack meant. I gasped at the sight of him, not only the massive musculature of his torso, magnificently cut, but because he had tattooing of roses running down his chest-roses that matched the color of those on the rose trellis next to where I sat.
"I thought you danced in the evenings," I said in a low, wanting voice as he approached me.
"I do. I think you should dance tonight rather than read. I have come to dance."
He had also brought CDs. They surprised me. No clogging music here-whatever that was. Not even any fast music. All slow, sensuous, strangely unfamiliar music to me. Sounds of haunting instruments I could not identify and what were either other instrumental sounds or voices in the background, I could not tell which, as well blended in the rest of the music as it was. Behind it all, a good beat. Not a beat that I heard from the beginning, but a beat that became stronger as the evening unraveled.
"The music. Very strange," I said. "Almost primeval."
"It's Celtic music. It's what I dance to. It is music we use to make love to, out here on the farms."
Visions of fertility dances in the fields zipped through my brain. How could I use this image in my novels?
We were inside at that point, him standing by the CD player and me sitting on the edge of the bed. There were straight chairs in the room, and a small table near the kitchen bar, but not room for much else. Just a square of space in the center of the room. While standing at the CD player, he undid his belt buckle, unbuttoned his fly, and let his farmer's wide-legged trousers sink to the floor.
Just like that. Straightforward, direct. Sure of himself. Knowing that what he had gave him entry where he wanted to go. Arrogance unbounded.
I moaned. He was in half erection, already magnificent. His thighs were beefy, but all muscle, strong as oaks. The vining from the rose trellis tattoo continued down across his smooth-shaved groin, and wrapped around the base of his cock. He had taken a handful of small packets and a tube of something out of the pocket of his trousers before they fell to the floor, and as I watched, he placed the tube and some of the packets on the table, opened the packet he still was holding, and rolled the condom on his cock. There was no question what he wanted-or that he had plans to get it more than once, if he fancied doing so. For the first time I felt that decisions, control were not mine here. We clearly were on his turf.
No courting here. This was the farm. Do your business and get back to work. I was the business that he would do this evening. Lonely on the farm? Invite a young man to use your cottage and get your rocks off covering him, again and again, if you wanted to. Leave him moaning on his back, unable to close his legs, and go back to the fields whistling.
I shuddered, conflicted by both desire and fear.
He walked to the center of the room. "Come, dance with me." He was holding an arm out, in invitation.
"I don't dance. Well, not well," I answered, my voice more of a croak than as I would have him hear it.
"You can dance with me. I will lead. I will control."
I bet you will was my thought. I was trembling. I barely could make it up to my feet. I took one step.
"No, take the shorts off first. I want to see you." and when I had fumbled my way out of the shorts, "Ah, you are a right sexy piece, you are. Turn around. Nice arse that. Plump. Should hole straight and true, and something to grab onto during the slide. I am glad you have booked for two weeks. And you are showing me that you want to dance with me. We will be good dance partners together."
Just a sexy piece with a nice, plump "arse" to slide into. Just verbal running of the farmer's hands down the flanks of the livestock. Good breeding stock. The dance crap just so much subterfuge. Not that that mattered, he was such a prime example of manhood. But that cock . . . the size of that.
"I admit I want to . . . but I am frightened. You are so large . . . I'm not accustomed . . ."
"You will love the dance. Come. You answered the advert. We both know what you wanted when you came here. We will both be happy, I'm sure. This is why I make the effort to have this cottage to rent. I make it sound like I prefer single-tenant gay men. If I like the look of them, I cock them. They never complain that I have."
"That's rather forward. I-"
"You want me to put you on the cock, don't you? You nearly ate me up showing that want earlier today."
I shimmered with uncontrollable arousal at the image of that-made more graphically fascinating by the size of him. It was the writer in me. Too much imagination. "Yes," I answered in a small voice. I couldn't lie. And I was already naked before him, my need and want obvious.
"We dance the Dance of the Fuck, then. Now."
I shuddered when he took me into his arms. He was taller, bulkier, more powerfully built than I was. I had to stand on my tiptoes as, in a close embrace, we moved, back and forth, and against each other. His cock pressed into the center of my chest, into the base of my rib cage. He was gripping my wrists and moved my arms behind me, holding them together at the base of the small of my back. I felt the index finger of one of his hands move down into the upper crack of my buttocks.
The finger was not reaching the rim of my hole, but I found myself wanting it to, rising as much as I could to give it access. It was rubbing inside my cleft, though, and I was opening just at the sensation of him being so close to the quick of me.
I knew I was going to be fucked. I wanted it. He was making me ache for it. All self-assurance, no doubt he knew that. He had made clear he had caught my signaling from that morning. We both knew what he was here to do, what I was here to give him, to take from him.
His lips went to the hollow of my throat. We had moved close to the table where the CD player was resting in the undulation of our bodies in the slow, sensuous dance. I realized only now that this table had been a goal of his. He released my hands, and I sensed him handling something on the table top. As we moved away from the table again, toward the center of the room, I realized what it was he was doing. His hands were wet and slick now.
We stood, in the center of the room, just rocking back and forth with, against each other. His cock was rock hard against my rib cage. I knew mine was too. It was throbbing.
"Yes, yes, yesss," I murmured as I felt his large hands spanning my buttocks cheeks, squeezing and separating them.
"Oh, god, yesss," I whimpered, as I felt a finger from each hand, wet and slippery, circling my rim. And then slowly entering me, and pressing on my rim, opening me up.
"Loose. Used. But not loose enough yet for the likes of me."
Do you have to say every thought out loud? I screamed in my mind. Must you be so casual and coldblooded about it? But then I realized that his language, his actions, the matter-of-fact way he was going about it was much of what was making me melt to him, what was putting me under his power.
Standing and rocking against each other. Aware more now of the music. We were moving to the beat of the music. Or rather, the beautiful farmer was moving us to the rhythm of the music. Controlling, just as he had said he would. And the beat. Becoming more aware that there was a beat at the base of the music, coming more to the foreground.
More fingers, deeper, Spreading me open. I had never felt so open, so slack. I buried my face in his shoulder and panted hard. Roses. My eyes were fixated on the roses, curving with the curve of his hard pecs. A nipple in the center of one rose. This. I would write about this.
"A nice arse. A good hole for it. Tight enough to give me a good feel of it, but open enough for the deep slide and the working of it."
To me, the beating of my heart, more aware to me now too, was matching the beat of the music.
I couldn't help it. I couldn't wait. I ejaculated between his thighs. I was mortified, and buried my face harder into his shoulder, voicing a shuddered, "Sorry."
He gave a low laugh. "No worry. I will make you come again . . . and again. A good hole for it, for a good poke, time and again."
I moaned in anticipation. His lips found mine, and a third finger on each hand invaded my ass, pressing at the rim, coaxing me more open. Pushing my butt cheeks apart with the broad, calloused palms of his hands.
His lips disengaged from mine and went to my ear. "I am putting you to the cock now. You are open enough, I think. If not, I have something that will stretch you to fit soon enough. Maybe not the first time, but afterwards. The dick is wanting its hole something fierce."
"Yes, oh, god, yes," I moaned. Such bald language, arousing now that I was being worked-like the matter-of-fact way he had declared he was going to fuck me. Probably straightforward because of the nearness of a farmer to the basic functions and realities of life. Also because he was fully aware of who he was, what he had, what men like me wanted from him, whether we ourselves fully understood that or not. Intoxicating. Enough so that I didn't consider the ominous "I have something that will stretch you."
"Raise your right leg to my hip," he whispered. "You'll ride the cock with me standing the first time, I think. You'll enjoy it; it gives a good angle. Not a full slide, but we can get to that in time. A right good ass; I'll want to use it more."
Shaking almost uncontrollably, I raised my calf to his hip. Still clutching, spreading, my buttocks with his hands, fingers still inside my entrance, rubbing and coaxing the rim to expand, he lifted me and crouched a bit, with a thigh pressing into me under the leg I had lifted.
I felt the bulb of his cock at my entrance. It was massive. I whimpered. "You are too big."
"We will manage. You are used regular, I can get the feel of that. You will take it. Your body will open right up to it. It wants the cock. The gut knows what it wants and will do what is needed. We were meant to dance this dance."
His fingers were still stretching me open as much as they could as, grunting, he moved his bulb inside me. I was panting heavily, and groaning and close to tears. It had been nothing like this with the men in the gym. None of them were built like this English farmer. None of them were as forceful or determined. None of them had the gall to tell me what I wanted. I had told him he was too big. He hadn't seen it as a problem.
But, he was right. I wanted it so much. "Ahhhhhhhhh."
"Arch back from me," he commanded. His voice was demanding, like he was trying to override my approach toward hyperventilating. "Don't worry; I will hold you."
He was so powerful and his rough hands were so broad and strong, that I believed him.
"It will roll your pelvis up to me. The angle will be better, the channel straighter for the cock." He crouched a bit again, ready to maintain our balance by offsetting the arching of my torso. Again, the straightforward, confident, bald talk of the rudimentary elements of the fuck. Again, too, the understanding of the basic mechanics of it. Almost clinical. He just wanted to get deep inside me, to come inside me. Get his rocks off and get back to the fields. A barnyard breeding. The farm stud.
But he was a stud.
I wanted him inside me as much as he wanted to be there. I was crazy to be doing this. I couldn't take a cock this big-and wouldn't enjoy it if I did. But, god, I wanted him deep inside me. None of what I wanted mattered now, though, he was going to fuck me. He was exuding no doubt. To him it was all mechanics; just a day on the farm, studding the livestock. A bit of pleasure in the process. His pleasure.
I arched back, afraid that I might fall back, but he smoothly counterbalanced with his crouch and I managed to grip his upper arms-massively muscular, making me melt to him even in the heat of trying to sheath his cock, and he was still holding my lower body close to his with the strength of his hands gripping my buttocks.
"I can support you. The cock wants this angle."
"Please, please, pleaseplease," I chanted in a faraway voice as, my prayer being answered, I felt his cock sliding slowly inside me, stretching and filling me. Knowing every inch of me inside as it sank into me; knowing too that the channel would expand to accommodate, to welcome the long slide. Making me pant and groan and moan. He was inside me. He was inside me! I wanted to shout for joy. I was taking him. It was throbbing inside me. Waiting, poised.
"There, the gut knows what it will take. A good angle and straight channel. Fully saddled. We can dance the fuck now." Like he was talking to some vet inseminating his prize brood mare.
I felt the fingers sliding out of me, their work finished. His hands went to my waist.
"Lift the other leg. Lock your ankles behind my back."
"Please. Please."
"Please be patient with me. Please don't ruin me. It . . . is . .. so . . .big."
It was idiotic. I didn't know what I wanted by saying this at this point. I already was holed. But, yes, yes, I did. I wanted some sign from him before he started what came next that this was lovemaking, not just breeding, not just the primeval need to ejaculate. That he wanted me because he was attracted to me, not just because I had a channel and he wanted his huge cock sheathed tonight, just wanted a vessel to spill his seed in, had to get his rocks off. Throwing in my face that I had come onto him. Leaving me no shred of belief that I controlled . . . anything.
But then, what if he did? What if he only wanted his pleasure? The offer of the cottage had been clear enough. He was being completely honest. And I couldn't deny that he was giving me what I hoped to find here.
Thoughts of my own behavior, back in New York, floated through my brain. Isn't the way he was treating me no more impersonal than I treated those men in the gym? Letting them fuck me just to help push me beyond a blockage in my writing. I told them what they could do, how they could do it. Using them just like this self-confident farmer was going to use me, was already using me. Was I any more thoughtful of their needs than he was of mine?
"You came to me for the hard cocking. I see nothing innocent in you. Your gut speaks for what you want. The looseness of the gut tells me what you'll take."
No mercy to be had. What could I say to that? He was absolutely right.
He laughed a low laugh. "We will dance well together. Before the night is through, we will fit perfectly. Raise your other leg, or I will raise it for you. The cock wants it."
I let out a low sob and raised my leg. I also started to raise my torso to him.
"No, stay arched back. The angle is good. The angle is good for you, is it not? I am in deep, no? You feel me deep inside? It will be a long, straight stroke. The cock wants a long stroke."
The cock wants this; the cock wants that. What about what I want? But I knew what I wanted. I wanted the cock.
"You're so big, so deep," I murmured. It came out with another low sob, but also with a sense that he was concerned for my pleasure after all, if only a little. I needed more from him. "No man has ever been that deep. You are magnificent."
Pimping for some sign of passion for me.
Nothing. But perhaps the intensity with which he was concentrating on the fuck should give me an indication how much he wanted it.
"Good. It's a good angle for me. I can stroke deep, long. Listen to the music. Feel the beat. This is the Dance of Life sonata. This movement is the primeval Dance of the Fuck." He laughed and I didn't know whether to take him seriously or not. His terminology was idiotic. It was just a fuck. But this was not a moment to give it any thought. "We will dance now, you and I. The Dance of the Fuck."
And then he began to pump me, pulling me back and forth on his cock, leveraging me with those beefy hands on my waist. He must have timed this with the music he knew was coming, because as the beat increased in the music and became louder and louder, his pumping kept up with the beat, fucking faster and deeper and harder. Pulling me further out now. Slamming me back down on the cock harder each time. He was shuffling his feet too, dancing in place, groaning and grunting now. Getting his rocks off. I was crying out with each deep thrust. He didn't care. Eventually I was crying out for each deep thrust. He laughed.
"It is good for you. I knew you wanted it hard. Keep the angle. The deep stroke is good."
I was lost to him and the music. Writhing under his power, begging him to slow down, to stop for a rest, to speed up, to never stop. No indication he even was listening to me. Babbling and digging my fingernails into his upper arms, unable even to break the skin as thick and tightly stretched as the skin was over his muscles. He was indestructible, unstoppable, unflappable, Supercocker; I was whatever he wanted me to be. Just a tight sheath for his cock, a vessel for his primeval need to fuck. And overwhelmed by the beat of the music, the pumping of the cock.
He fucked me for an eternity. Long, hard, deep. The thought racing across my mind: just like the cock wanted it.
Just like I was loving it, like never before. He had known what I wanted after all.
I ejaculated again, and he laughed. Then he slowed down the pumping to where he was just standing there, rocking back and forth on his feet. The CD was changing to different music. Softer, less primeval.
"Oh, god . . . that . . . was . . . I don't know what to say."
"It's not finished yet. I haven't come."
Oh, shit.
He revolved me on his cock, instructing me what to do with my legs and arms, so that, still plastered to his pelvis, I was hanging off the front of him, facing away from him, my ankles hooked on the tops of his calves and my fists locked behind his neck, him half crouching to make my smallness accommodate to his height. The beat of the music started going faster again and pushing into the foreground, and, holding my waist in his hands, he was pumping me again . . . slamming my channel up and down on his cock, all glorious primeval brutality now . . . eventually to his own ejaculation.
We held there for the longest minute, both panting hard, both animals of the farm, having expended the red-hot, uncontrollable heat of doing what nature told us we must do.
"That was a good one."
Simply that. Good? That was stupendous. I had never been so fully fucked before.
I had visions of me on all fours, like a farmyard animal, and him covering me and fucking me like a dog or a sheep. A horse. Yes, a horse, with that horse cock of his. A stud bull. Treating me just like any other animal he possessed. No condom in this vision. Strongly shooting off inside me, flooding me with semen. Breeding me, seeding me. Drowning in his hot cum. Just another day on the farm. But me loving every thrust of him. My eyes darting around the farmyard, looking for, yearning for his approach. Going down on all fours for him. Raising my "arse" for the long, thick slide of him.
"We will dance on the bed."
"Oh, god. I don't know if I-"
"Not right away. But later. Now we both rest."
"I can't, again, tonight," I murmured as he let me down and helped me to hobble to the bed and lay down. He sat on the bed beside me, moving a hand over my chest and belly, going to my nipples to tweak them.
"You were good," he said. "The best in some time. We dance well together. You are well used. The gut opens as needed."
I melted. Despite the bald, rude language, he wanted me. Me. Not just my ass. He was still here. Why was I trying to send him away?
"Anyone ever compare you to a stud bull?" I asked. I think I meant that as an admonishment, a jab at his self-possessed doggedness, a teasing of how much he obviously thought of himself. The basic animalism of him was flooding my brain. A character was forming to intrude himself into my current book. Primitive, powerful, a stud bull, one who took what he wanted, when he wanted it. A prime breeder.
I wanted to get at the computer keyboard. And yet that was just my brain. That's not what my body was telling me I wanted.
"Yes, often," he said, with a smile, the possible criticism of it flying right over his head. "I am the best you will have here. We start again soon. I think I cock you better than you have had. I think you don't have a stud bull in America like me."
As arrogant as he was about it, I could not naysay him.
"I can't anymore tonight. It was . . . terrific. Well, more than terrific. Beyond my wildest dreams of what I could have here. But I work at night. I fuck for inspiration. I have inspiration for two novels after that . . . remarkable fuck."
"You are here for two weeks. You don't have to write on the first night. We will dance on the bed tonight-and maybe in the morning too, before I go to the fields, before dawn. You are one sexy piece."
"I . . ." He was stroking my cock. And my cock was appreciating the attention. I looked and saw that his cock was already engorging again as well. Magnificent. A horse. A stud bull. And he had been inside me-to the root. And I had taken it all.
"We will take this night for cocking." It wasn't a question.
I moaned and stretched out on the bed, turning on my back and flexing my muscles, working the kinks out from the demanding positions already taken. I almost felt like I was purring. I wondered if he could hear me purring. My pelvis was moving with his stroking of my cock. I willed it to stop, but it wouldn't. He made a circle of his fingers, and my cock was slowly, sensuously stroking in the sheath it provided-on its own accord.
"You want me again. Now. You ache to have my cock inside you again."
Had I, in fact, been purring and he had heard it? Why couldn't I control my cock?
The music on the CD that had been muted in the interim was growing noticeably in volume and beat.
"I really can't." Fighting for some shred of control-over myself as much as over him.
He came up on the bed, stretching himself beside me. The beat of the music was picking up. He managed to trap my wrists in the powerful grip of one hand and pulled them over my head. The other hand, palm up, was pressing between my thighs. My body lost all loyalty to my intentions. My legs, on their own, spread, my knees went up, my heels dug into the bedspread, and my pelvis rolled up to him as two beefy fingers entered my ass, found my prostate, started to rub.
"I think I could get the whole fist up here now."
I froze, panicked.
"But such a sweet arse is for the cock."
I relaxed, but only a bit. The rubbing of the fingers was sending me over the moon.
Yes, fuck me again. Deep and hard. You know what I like. Better than I do.
I hadn't said it out loud, had I? No, I don't think so. He hadn't responded.
I looked wildly up into his eyes. His face was smiling, his eyes were flashing the totality of his control, his intention. His assurance that it was what I wanted. Looking away, my gaze went down the length of his achingly beautiful muscular chest.
How had he managed to get another condom on? I had seen him take the other one off and toss it on the floor, mesmerized by how bloated it was with creamy cum. Remembering shivering at the thought of him barebacking me, breeding me, the explosive ejaculation deep inside me and the lathering of my channel with all that cum. Aching for his cum, his total possession of me. Oh, shit. There were two more packets on the bedspread.
My eyes went back to his face.
"The Dance of the Bed," he murmured.
I started to weakly, unconvincingly object again, but his lips were covering mine, his tongue pushing them apart and invading. The music was getting louder, the beat more demanding.
He was turning me on my side, his fingers out of my channel now. He was raising my leg with a firm grip. The bulb of his cock at my entrance.
Again, I hadn't actually screamed that, had I?
I broke from the kiss, arched my back, and howled to the thatched ceiling above our heads, as he slid into me again. "Oh, god, you are so big. Oh shit. So deep so fast."
This time, though, I found it wasn't an objection. It was glorious. He had been right. We were ideal dancing partners. Now he fit me perfectly. Reamed to fit him.
"See," he said, full of his rightness, "the gut has its measure now. You want it. You want it big. You don't have a stud bull in America. You came here for this cock. You came to my farm looking for a stud bull. And you found one. It's all good for you."
God knows he was right. For two weeks he'd be going to his fields, whistling, and I'd be laying here, moaning, and not being able to close my legs. And loving every thrust of it.
He began to rock against me, moving his cock inside me, not pumping yet. I moved my hips too, realizing that it was to the beat of the music.
The beginning of the Dance of the Bed.
"Open your gut to me," he growled. I grabbed my butt cheeks and spread them as much as I could, doing everything I could to respond to his demands.

In 2006, I was arrested for possession of child pornography. Unfortunately, I didn't know about Mr. Garland. After going through 2 incompetent attorneys, I ended up taking a plea for 3 counts of possession and was given 15 years probation. My attorney at the time didn't even ask for concurrent sentencing even thought I had asked him to do so.
During the last 5 years, I have had several family events take place outside of Fl. I hired an attorney who was unable to affect any travel for me. Then, last year another family celebration was to take place in California. I hired a new attorney and again was denied travel. On appeal, while working with the attorney, he actually fired me for trying to micro-manage his work. He recommended Mr. Garland.
I contacted Mr. Garland and with a lot of research, skill and foresight into what the judge needed, Mr. Garland was able to obtain a travel permit for me.
This past July, my family was planning a party celebrating our father's 90th birthday. Once again, I retained Mr. Garland to seek a travel permit to California. Once again, over the State's objections, Mr. Garland's expertise resulted in successfully convincing the judge to grant a travel permit.
In my opinion, had Mr. Garland been my attorney in 2006, the results, or at least the length of probation, would have been significantly different.

On 12-17-09. I was arrested by the St. Lucie Sheriff's Office, and was charged with 4 Felony charges which were Grand Theft, Official Misconduct, Forgery, and Uttering a forged instrument. I was hired by this Department in on Feb 14th, 1994, at this time I was also a member of the United States Army Reserves. I enlisted on August 23rd, 1984. The Sheriff's Office pays 17 days per year to compensate a employee when they are called up to serve. However I was accused of fraudulently putting in for military pay from the department for military time that were not scheduled military drill weekends. The Sheriff department has a policy that states an employee must submit the proper documents to the supervisor prior to taking military leave, in which I did each time. I was ordered to be at my reserve unit. I am a Food Service Supervisor at my reserve unit, as well as the Transportation Supervisor, and a lot of times I am ordered to be at the unit a couple of days in advance to the regular scheduled drill weekend dates. In which my Military supervisor would always send a Civilian Employer notification in lieu of the scheduled military drill weekends covering all dates that were not visual on the drill schedule. Prior to my arrest the Sheriff's office Internal Affairs Sergeant started their own investigation, prior to them turning their findings over to the State Attorney's Office and ultimately making the decision to arrest me before ever speaking to me or my immediate Military supervisors, but the most devastating action was the fact that for all the dates in question was already at the hands of the investigator in my personnel file. I hired a Criminal Defense Attorney in Brevard County initially that did absolutely nothing in the case for 15 months but continuations. I retained Mr. Garland in March of 2011, once Mr. Garland received my file he and his partner Attorney Mark Orr literally had me in the office 2 days for at least 4 hours each day tearing the case apart. Attorney Garland said to me all the evidence needed to clear you is right here in you're discovery packet that was sent by way of the State Attorney's Office. Mr. Garland and I spent countless hours of research and gathering military rules and regulations, as well as Florida and Federal Statutes and several letters were sent out in support of my criminal case by Mr. Garland, numerous phonecalls to military officials and most importantly Mr. Garland made numerous trips to the Sheriff's Office Human Resource Office and obtained my entire Personnel and Finance records Which also gave him all the necessary information on who he needed to take sworn Depositions from which included Sheriff Office employees and my immediate Military supervisors which ultimately led to the State Attorney doing the right thing and Dismissing the case on September 1st, 2011 twenty-one months later. I commend Mr. Orr and Mr. Garland for a excellent job well done these guys were very aggressive and worked diligently to get this case dismissed within 7 months, had I hired these great attorney's from the beginning im sure the case would have been dismissed at the very beginning Attorney Garland does a very thorough job he is very humble and a well respected attorney he will keep you informed on what's going on with your case every single day there was a letter in my post office box from his firm or a message on my cell phone or better yet a email and his secretary she is just a awesome lady just as professional and greets you with a lovely smile on a rainy day. Mr. Garland I wish you and your firm the best of luck in the near future, and I want to thank you all personally for completing the proper investigation on my behalf, and saving my 21 year Law Enforcement Career as well as my 28 year Military career with 2 years left to retirement. May your Law firm continue to blossom and prosper in St. Lucie county.

Aussi thug who killed Irishman in one-punch attack jailed for nine years
Australian Abbas Yahya Al Jrood was today jailed for nine years for killing 23-year-old Thomas Keaney.
Keaney, from Ballyconneely, Co Galway, died following a one punch attack in 2013.
The court heard that that the fight broke out after a chair was taken from Abbas Yahya Al Jrood and used people in Keaney's group outside Euro Kebabs.
Abbas Yahya Al Jrood
Keaney fell backwards after the punch and hit his head on the ground, causing a severe brain injury, he died ten-days later in a Perth hospital.
Handing down the sentence, Justice Ralph Simmonds described the attack as "unprovoked, unexpected, sudden and forceful", on a victim who was "vulnerable" due to his intoxication.
Justice Simmonds accepted that the punch was "impulsive and spur of the moment," but said the fact that Al Jrood did not stop to assist Mr Keaney when he fell to the ground was an aggravating factor.
Mr Keaney's family were in Perth during the trial and listened to the sentencing via video link.
The court heard Al Jrood would be eligible for parole in seven years.

A collaboration between six Australian and New Zealand universities, working in association with Adelaide based NetSpot, has led to the release of a complete new assignment module now integrated into the core Moodle learning management system.
{loadposition bev}NetSpot was bought by US learning management system specialist Blackboard in March - around the same time as it also bought Baltimore based Moodlerooms. At the time Blackboard committed to maintain the open source focus of NetSpot and Moodlerooms, and with this announcement has made good on that promise.
Blackboard and Moodle are the two leading players in the learning management system sector, and by maintaining strong links with the Moodle community Blackboard has placed a bet each way by continuing to invest in its own proprietary system and also in the open source learning management community.
Mark Drechsler, director of consulting for NetSpot, said that the announcement was a ���very significant landmark��� and represented the largest piece of work contributed back to the Moodle community by NetSpot. For Blackboard he said it; ���Demonstrates their commitment to contributing code back to the Moodle community.���
He said that the universities which were involved were Canberra, Flinders, La Trobe, New England, Southern Queensland and Massey in New Zealand. Mr Drechsler acknowledged however that the initiative was underway prior to the Blackboard purchase in March.
Mr Drechsler said that the earlier Moodle assignment module dated back to the early 2000s and its structure was hampering the efficiency of teachers and lecturers. He said that the new administrative functions which were available in the completely new assignment module which is part of the core Moodle 2.3 would streamline assignment handling.
Meanwhile Blackboard���s Moodlerooms team has made Flexpage, a tool for organising the layout of materials and content on a course page, available as open source code to the Moodle community. Previously available as part of its joule cloud based Moodle system, Flexpage has now been made generally available to the Moodle community.

In this hour, Stewart Brand, founder of the Whole Earth Catalogue, says it's time to get pragmatic about managing climate change. He tells Anne Strainchamps why he no longer opposes nuclear power and they discuss other aspects of his new philosophy. His new book is Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto.
Next, many in the environmental movement disagree with Brand. Paxus Calta is one. He's been an anti-nuclear activist for over 30 years. He gives his reasons for his position. Calta is Chair of the board of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, an umbrella organization of some 300 grass-roots organizations.
Then, James Lovelock created the Gaia Theory. His latest book is The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning. Lovelock tells Steve Paulson that our planet is a self-regulating system that will carry on without people and that it is too late to reverse global warming. Humanity will just have to live with the consequences, if it can.
After that, novelist Margaret Atwood talks about her latest book, The Year of the Flood, with Steve Paulson. The book posits a new religion formed after most life on Earth has been obliterated.
And finally, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are The Yes Men. They pose as the World Trade Organization or major corporate entities to pull off pranks as political action. A collection of these actions comprise the documentary film The Yes Men Fix the World. Jim Fleming talks with Andy Bichlbaum and we hear excerpts from the film. [Broadcast Date: September 22, 2010]
