At Kips Bay, Opposites That Enchant
By SUZANNE SLESIN
Published: April 27, 1995
THE winds of change in decorating are blowing strong and in the most unlikely of places: the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club Decorator Show House.
Who would have thought that Old World style -- crystal chandeliers, rare needlepoint rugs and $300-dollar-a-yard silks -- would be upstaged by New World informality: bare floors, kitchen chairs and a sofa that retails for $1,650? Or that bold, over-the-top decorating could make hearts beat fast once again, as establishment decorators like Thomas Britt and Juan Pablo Molyneux reinvent themselves in surprisingly fresh ways.
Welcome to the 23d Kips Bay show house, the grandest of grandes dames, and, traditionally, the quintessence of American taste. Only this year there is a distinctive Swedish accent.
The 15-room Nichols-Livingston mansion at 57 East 64th Street on the Upper East Side opened yesterday to the public and will remain open through May 16. Admission is $15, and proceeds benefit the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club, an after-school program in the South Bronx.
Although known as the most prestigious decorating event of its kind, in recent years the show house has reflected rather than sparked trends.
But not this year: Nancy Mullan's cool, serene and seductively simple open kitchen and dining room, on the fifth floor, is as eye-opening as an aquavit on ice.
Ms. Mullan, known primarily as a kitchen designer, had the refreshing idea of using reproductions of pale-hued 18th-century Gustavian Swedish furniture from Ikea. Yes, Ikea. A few weeks ago, the giant home furnishings chain created a stir in Milan as it entered the arena of cutting-edge design. Now, it is invading -- with lots of charm, of course -- the citadel of big-ticket decorating.
Gustav III reigned in the late 1700's, just as fanciful rococo elements were being tempered with classical motifs. Used here, the look is elegant without being stuffy.
To coordinate with the putty-colored furniture, Ms. Mullan has encased a Sub-Zero refrigerator in smooth, rounded-edge dove-colored cabinetry and has had the floors bleached to look well worn. ("Some people have asked when I'm going to fix them up," Ms. Mullan said.) The dining table, with its Ikea country-style seating, its lovely embroidered linens, heirloom crystal and antique chandelier, is festive without being pretentious, a rarity in life as well as in show houses.
Ms. Mullan commissioned Jenny Wraith, a New York-based artist, to paint limpid sailing scenes, and her palette of gray, pale blue and off-white is the perfect foil for the Ikea pieces (they'll be available this fall at the chain's Elizabeth, N.J., store and on Long Island later in the year.) It is the prices that will no doubt clinch the deal: A dove-gray chest is $695; a dining chair with an upholstered seat is $225, and the light gray Svensksund sofa, $1,650.
The Ikea collection was assembled with the help of Lars Sjoberg, a curator at the Swedish National Museum in Stockholm. With his wife, Ursula, Mr. Sjoberg wrote "The Swedish Room" (Pantheon, 1994; $45), the current bible of the style.
Mr. Molyneux has almost certainly flipped through its pages. His second-floor salon is a more formal variation of Swedish ease, with its bare parquet floors and center medallion painted to look like marquetry (it was inspired by one in the Pavlovsk Palace in St. Petersburg). His idea of simplicity: fluttering printed silk taffeta draperies, 18th-century Swedish armchairs upholstered in silk, and tongue-in-cheek murals with Mr. Molyneux's Scottish terriers, Matthew and Flossie, his Neopolitan mastiff, Tiziano, and a number of monkeys.
It has been a long time since the house itself was a natural beauty. Designed by G. P. H. Gilbert, a turn-of-the-century architect who was enamored with the style of Francois I, the six-story, 15-bedroom house dates from 1905. Most of the original 15 bathrooms had long disappeared but many of the graciously proportioned, putti-laden reception rooms were intact, if badly in need of face lifts. Leave it to the decorators.
None succeeded quite as well as Thomas Britt, whose joyous "Sitting Room for Stanley Barrows" is a masterly, sherbet-hued tribute to his late friend and design mentor. Here is fearless chemistry: a frothy extravaganza of high-intensity color combinations (turquoise blue, canary yellow, shocking pink and a panoply of reds), overscaled antiques mingling unembarrassed (from 18th-century Bavarian mirrors to a 1930's Venetian chandelier) and a geometric painted floor.
And not a rug in sight.
"Rugs would have made it stuffy," said the ebullient Mr. Britt, who has made a triumphant return to Kips Bay after 23 years. "This is the sparseness of the Baltic -- the Russian-Swedish-Polish-Danish-German paneled room."
There were other highlights: Charlotte Moss's fourth-floor sitting room is furnished with a reproduction of a charming chinoiserie day bed with a pair of parasols dancing overhead. It was inspired by one that belonged to Mona Bismarck (Mrs. Harrison Williams), the American-born socialite known for her flair.
The layering of centuries that Kenneth Hockin found so attractive in Tuscany is reinterpreted in the decorator's second-floor dining room, where 50's metal espaliered fruit trees are silhouetted against vintage stained-glass windows. Lamp shades descend from Gothic-style ceiling brackets; mismatched chair backs jump-start the room out of its original humdrum formality.
There was no such danger in the agile, pattern-on-pattern treatment of the third-floor library where Bennett and Judie Weinstock, the Duke and Duchess of the manor, had all the woodwork painted green, inspired by a Regency papier-mache tray. They laid a flower-strewn 1830 needlepoint rug on the floor and had an artist, Margaret Shay, stencil the richly patterned ceiling. "We met her at our son's bar mitzvah and she's been working with us for years," Mr. Weinstock said. "Now, she thinks we're the Medicis."
There were plenty of other entertainments that stretched the envelope a trifle: the atmosphere of Richard L. Ridge's baronial mountain lodge painted on the second-floor landing; a fourth-floor bedroom fit for a Roman emperor, by Kenneth Alpert, complete with cookies in the shape of gold crowns; Carolyn Guttilla's urbane, third-floor bedroom, where a rustic Adirondack bedstead by Dan Mack was gilded.
It made two of the newcomers, Jeff Lincoln and Matthew Patrick Smyth, look surprisingly safe.
"A fancy telephone room, with a rotary phone and Audrey Hepburn on the other end" was the way Mr. Lincoln described his small space off the third-floor landing (chocolate walls, neo-classical detailing). "A guest room I'd like to live in" was how Mr. Smyth saw his tiny fifth-floor suite, artfully arranged with black-and-white photographs by Ralph Gibson, tailored armchairs and a ceiling made of silver paper.
This is one aspect of decorating today: stylish, tasteful, with glamorous smidgens from the 50's or old Hollywood movies.
The younger decorators talk about "restful, quiet rooms." But leave it to the diva of New Age design, Clodagh, to supply a real sanctuary -- a tinkling fountain, in a narrow corridor, with a Buddha (a design icon for the mid-90's). It's the spot to catch your breath and repeat the mantra of show house visitors everywhere: Ohm-My-Aching-Feet.

What I liked
What could be improved
Better communication, help and assistance
Anything else?
I was sent to the hospital with a letter from my GP requesting a blood test and X-ray due to chest pains, 3 hours after arriving there at 3.30 I'd had blood taken but no X-ray , when I questioned the X-ray I was told I needed to see a doctor and that there was 1 patient in front of me.
Another hour later when I had still seen no doctor or had the X-ray I was sent for I chose to self discharge as I felt my GP's wishes had been ignored and my welfare certainly was not a priority.
Irony is they did a bloodiest for thrombosis then left me sat for 4 hours in a hot waiting room.
I was at no point advised of current prognosis or kept informed about waiting times etc
I have never sef discharged from an hospital in my life, the whole experience was a shambles.

Trevis Henderson, Kidnapped from an IHOP Parking Lot, Found Dead in a South Dallas Park
Late Sunday night, at 10:37 p.m., 911 operator received a call from a storage facility on Willowbrook Road, a dilapidated stretch of office and warehouse space in Northwest Dallas. The caller, 22-year-old Trevis Henderson, said he was in a fight with two men who said he owed them money. The operator could hear Henderson attempting to crawl away as he tried to fight the men off before the phone was disconnected. By the time police arrived, the area was deserted.
The next day, Henderson was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound in Rochester Park, a large swath of green space along the Trinity River in South Dallas. It took police all of a day to piece together how he wound up there. The first clue had come Sunday night when, just seven minutes before Henderson's brief 911 call, a witness walking to work spotted him at an IHOP on nearby Stemmons Trail, being forced into a dark-colored SUV. She even got the license plate number.
Police tracked the car to an apartment complex, where a detective saw Jeremie Terell Newsom, 26, drive it into the parking lot. According to an arrest affidavit, Newsom went with the detective to police headquarters, where he admitted that he and two other men, 34-year-old,Laquan Devondray Hughes and a heavyset white guy, had kidnapped Henderson, who owed them money. Hughes, who was driving, carried a shotgun, the white guy a pistol.
Newsom is being held in Dallas County jail on a charge of aggravated kidnapping. Police are searching for Hughes on the same charge. Neither man has been charged with murder -- at least not yet.
Update at 3:47 p.m.: Dallas police send word this afternoon that Hughes has been arrested, also on a charge of aggravated kidnapping, but that police are still looking for the heavyset white guy, who's been ID'd as 40-year-old David Langston.

Microblogging website Twitter revealed on Tuesday that it has acquired 'significant' funding from Russian venture firm Digital Sky Technologies (DST) Global.
Though it did not reveal the amount, the company's official blog revealed that, "We have an opportunity to expand Twitter's reach with a significant round of funding led by venture firm DST Global, with the participation of several of our existing investors."
"We will use these resources to aggressively innovate, hire more great people, and invest in international expansion," the blog added.
In the preceding blog post, Twitter also announced its launch in Dutch and Indonesian languages. In an attempt to increase its services and engage better with users, Twitter started launching itself in languages other than English in 2008, with a Japanese version. It can now be used in total of 11 languages. It plans to launch a Filipino and Malay version next.
Twitter also recently launched a feature to attract businesses on the website called Promoted Tweets.

If it was really bothersome, couldn't she have left the lobby or whatever? If anything, the person should have a temporary suspension from online gameplay. But still, it's just a video game.00|00|0

Jesus christ just back out and start a new session with different people like everyone else does when they are faced with a situation similar to this.
EVERYONE deals with online harassment when they play online video games. I say everyone yet still feel like I'm being melodramatic because really everyone does face harassment on online video games if they play for more than an hour. If this triggered her she should never go near a call of duty game. You wouldn't believe the offensive shit that is said in game session on that.

PresentationCase Findings: A 28-year-old migrant worker from Mexico was rushed to an ED in California after suffering a seizure. At the hospital, through slurred speech, he described painful headaches that he had been experiencing for a few months and said he had lost consciousness one evening about a week earlier and not told anyone. He wondered if it could have been a seizure.
What is your diagnosis?
1242% Toxoplasmosis
3093% Neurocysticercosis
331% Powassan virus encephalitis
657% Intracerebral hemorrhage
Cysticercosis is defined as the systemic invasive tissue infection of the larval stage (cysticercus) of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. The larva can infect muscle, eyes and brain, and other tissue. There is a frequent misconception that cysticercosis is acquired by eating pork; this is not the case. Human ingestion of pork containing larval cysts of T. solium leads to taeniasis, a localized human intestinal adult tapeworm infection. Cysticercosis, on the other hand, is acquired through ingestion of T. solium eggs, usually via fecal-oral transmission from a tapeworm carrier (often an asymptomatic household member that handles food). When cysticercosis involves the central nervous system (CNS), it is known as neurocysticercosis.
Neurocysticercosis mainly affects people living in the developing world. Although its exact prevalence is unknown, it is endemic in Latin American countries, sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Korea, and China. It has long been regarded as a rare disease in developed countries. However, given advances in globalization and a growing numbers of immigrants from regions endemic for T. solium, both incidence and awareness of neurocysticercosis have significantly increased in industrialized countries. In the United States, there are an estimated 1000 new cases of neurocysticercosis each year, with most cases reported from New York, California, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. In a nationwide study examining hospitalization frequency for neurocysticercosis in the United States between 2003 and 2012, Hispanic individuals were at the highest risk, in particular males 20-44 years of age. Sporadic cases involving travel to and from T. solium-endemic countries occur in other states as well. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers cysticercosis one of the Neglected Parasitic Infections targeted for public health action.
When food or water contaminated with T. solium eggs is ingested by humans, the eggs hatch into embryos that egress into the blood stream through the intestinal mucosa. The embryos lodge in tissues of end organs and transform into larvae (cysticerci). Cysticercal cysts undergo 4 phases of development: the vesicular stage (cyst with a living larva), the colloidal stage (cyst with a degenerating/dying larva), the granular nodular stage, and the calcified stage. Of note, living larvae are only present in the first 2 stages (vesicular and colloidal), and these are the only stages that require and respond to anti-parasitic therapy.
When larvae invade into the CNS, it is known as neurocysticercosis. Depending on the location, neurocysticercosis is divided into parenchymal and extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis. The extraparenchymal form of neurocysticercosis is further subdivided into ventricular, subarachnoid, Sylvian fissure, ocular, and spinal types. Patients with neurocysticercosis can be asymptomatic. When they are symptomatic, clinical presentations of parenchymal and extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis are distinctly different. Refer to Look For section for further details.
Parenchymal Neurocysticercosis
Parenchymal neurocysticercosis is the most common cause of acquired epilepsy/seizure in endemic areas. Seizures develop when the cysts either degenerate or are in viable stage. Depending on the location and the number of the cerebral parenchymal lesions, patients can present with motor or sensory deficits, language difficulty, parkinsonism, or lacunar or large cerebral infarcts from cerebral ischemia or cysticercosis angiitis. When there is an intense inflammatory response around the cysts, the patients become comatose, obtunded, or encephalopathic (cysticercosis encephalitis).
Extraparenchymal Neurocysticercosis
Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis presents with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus from blockage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow tracks by ventricular cysticerci. In cases of intraventricular neurocysticercosis, 2 syndromes are of note: Bruns syndrome and double-compartment hydrocephalus syndrome. Bruns syndrome is characterized by episodes of sudden loss of consciousness related to head movements because the cysts in the 4th ventricle cause intermittent obstruction of the cerebral aqueduct by a ball-valve mechanism. Double-compartment hydrocephalous syndrome is defined as both 3rd and 4th ventricular dilatation secondary to the simultaneous obstruction of cerebral aqueduct and foramina of Luschka and Magendie by intraventricular cysts.
Cysticerci within the subarachnoid space of Sylvian fissures or CSF cisterns can develop into multi-lobulated grape-like clusters, known as racemose cysticercosis. These lesions are usually larger (>10 cm long) and can occlude the foramina of Luschka or Magendie, causing obstructive hydrocephalous. The condition can also cause basal meningitis or arachnoiditis with cranial nerve entrapment presenting as visual field defects and cranial nerve palsies.
Spinal neurocysticercosis is rare, and patients typically present with paresthesia, radicular nerve pain, or bowel/urinary incontinence or retention.
Ocular neurocysticercosis can involve subretinal space, vitreous humor, anterior chamber, conjunctiva, or extraocular muscles. Subretinal ocular cysticercosis is considered to be a form of neurocysticercosis, whereas involvement of anterior chamber of eye alone is regarded as extraneural cysticercosis. The clinical manifestations of ocular cysticercosis are eye pain, impaired eyesight, or double vision, depending on the involved structures.
What to Look For:
Clinical Presentations
Patients with parenchymal neurocysticercosis usually present with headache and seizures when the larvae elicit the host immune response, causing brain edema.
Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis is generally associated with intracranial hypertension, altered mental status, impaired vision, diplopia, focal neurological deficits, and/or cognitive decline.

text: "And the minutes turn to hours and they're flying like a jet plane, and we'll make it right tomorrow. But tomorrow's not a sure thing." + eight years. That's how long it had been since Justin last saw Savannah at his high school graduation back in Wisconsin. He had never intended for them to be apart for that long but when his career took off, he became quite selfish and seemed to forget promises he had made to those he cared deeply for. But life has the tendency of picking you up when you're down and dragging you down when you're on top of the world. Many say all you have in this world is time, but that's a lie. A clock don't stop.

I use this cream at night over my serum. It's got a great texture that melts into your skin like a gel and is very hydrating without feeling greasy.
This is a wonderful light, yet moisturizing cream that quickly absorbs into the skin. The combination of ingredients in it work to make my skin plump and younger-looking. Thank you, Neostrata, for coming up with these very effective products!
I have been using this skin care for many years and have great results with it
I won the product at the 2016 Giveaway. And loved it, so I purchased another.
I'm alternating using this on neck and décolletage (vs obagi) and see some softening of skin texture, while keeping overall firmness.
I'm really enjoying this cream, I use it at night before going to bed.
I'm a freak about my skin and have tried numerous products over the last decade. I received a sample of NeoStrata several months ago, and love this product! It goes on light and smooth, and makes my skin feel and look amazing. I've since added the eye cream to my regimen and love that, as well. Definitely a must try!
This product is magic! My skin has more elasticity and less dark spots I have been using this for two months I wear alone or under makeup
I received a sample of this product with a previous order and got hooked. I purchased a bottle and have been using every night for about two weeks and can honestly say it has made a difference. My skin is very dry and this lotion has brought it back to life. The hydration makes my wrinkles a little less noticeable. I apply at night and let it soak in for few minutes before going to bed. It is a bit greasy but hasnt caused any break outs.
Active dermal Replenishment moisturizes very well. Will give the product some time to to see what affect it has had on wrinkles. It has slightly lightened a couple of marks caused by new blemishes and am hoping they clear up even more with continued use.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, May 11,2002 8:21 AM
According to channel sources, these shows were just taking a break, whereas industry sources say that the poor performance of these shows had prompted the channel to rethink its strategy on these programmes.
The channel had pinned its hopes on these ''different'' shows expecting these to do for it what Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) did for Star Plus.
According to Media planners, the reality television or interactive shows had not really taken off in India. "Internationally too, interactive shows which are story-based have not done well. On the other hand, reality shows like ''Survivor'', ''The Amazing Race'' which did well initially have also seen trends of declining viewership. The only reality game show that has done well in India is KBC. And that too succeeded because of the charisma of Amitabh Bachchan.
The decision of Zee to pull out these two shows seems to be in line with the channel''s strategy of withdrawing weak shows. Zee has in the last few months taken off several of its programmes, which have not done well. It had, in August 2001, revamped its entire programming strategy and launched about 24 new shows. But it has already withdrawn song-and-dance show ''Razzmatazz'', ''Hip Hip Hurray'', ''Sarhadein'' and ''Dollar Bahu'', to name a few.

Chapter 4 – Kidney juice
I am glad to see some people have had a look at my non-erotic novel www.luces-delatierra.blogspot.com.es or www.lightsoftheearth.blogspot.com.es but still I don't know how many people are reading or whether you like it. Feel free to write any non erotic comment you want, in Spanish or in English.
As long as he found pleasure about my ass, which he repeatedly said it was hot, it would be his to have pleasure with. So, I quickly lied on my stomach and showed him. I still had not seen him jacking off and I could not see him now, but I sensed the sound of his cock having pleasure. I was a new man with him and wanted the night never to end.
-Cayron, do you really desire a second whipping? –he asked endlessly wanking.
-Sir, please Sir, whip me again.
-All right. It will only be a couple of blows now. I don't want you to sleep tonight with red ass.
And he used his belt again. This time I forgot to kiss it beforehand to be thankful to it for the punishment. It was incredible how I liked that pain. I had cummed five times but one day, maybe tomorrow; I would need to cum with the whipping. But my cock was exhausted. Anyway, I was in love with his belt now. Finally it was three blows, medium intensity.
-I don't want to fuck you tonight. But I will imagine my cock deep in your ass. Any man would desire to fuck that hot hole of yours.
- I know you won't do it tonight, Sir. But please fuck me soon. I'm gay enough now to desire it.
-I don't want to hurt you.
- Sir, remember I am a masochist. I might even like the pain of your dick popping my cherry.
- Maybe soon, my sweetest thing.
-And you can be sure I want your dick to be the first in my ass.
-Good, you don't know, but I am enjoying fucking your ass right now.
-After today, Sir, please imagine you are fucking me every time you wank.
-Enough, Cayron. I want to smell your farts right now.
-Ok, Sir. Hope you like it.
I farted instantly. It was really loud and smelly. But it was a perfect night for the sense of smell and I even was horny with the smell of my own fart. I saw he had liked it.
-You can fart now as many times you please, Cayron. You could be all night farting.
-If you want me to, I can be like this all night, Sir. But you have to fart too or else I won't repeat.
And he farted when I was not expecting it. I loved the smell. Anything that would have been unbelievable any other day was natural tonight, so I farted again and asked him to please be farting all night.
-Now I will have two more little snacks, if you allow me.
-Sir, you can eat from my bowels as much as you want.
And he had as many as three more little snacks. Our mansmells, farts, the smell of my own shit. Night of smells. I liked them all.
-Are you satisfied now, Sir? I want to turn.
-You can.
It was glorious to see how he wanked. It was the first thing I saw when I turned. He wildly stroked his dick now and knew he was looking at my cock, enormous now, as homage to him who had made it so high. But I had something to say.
-Sit next to me on the couch, Sir –I said affectionately-. I want to start now a proper reflexive masturbation and want you close to me, you hot guy, so I can touch you and sniff you continuously.
He was moved and could not talk but he soon was next to me, caressed my dick, then my balls again and finally he was able to speak.
-Thanks, my sweetest thing. O how I would love to see you tomorrow as you are now.
-You will, Sir. I'll not be an asshole with you. You have discovered me. And after tonight I will always be gay and a pig. Masochist too, but that now has no importance.
We started a real bacchanal of touching, licking and sniffing again. It was the first time also he saw me jerking off. Now I would always want to jerk off in his presence. We were thus for ten minutes, two gay men who wanted to enjoy each other. We were mad, furiously wanking then. We farted once and again knowing well that after tonight farts would be a part of our daily pleasure.
-Cayron, do you still desire cumming after me?
-Yes, Sir.
-I dream one day I can be second to cum. But be it as you wish. I'm cumming now. I cannot hold it anymore.
He cummed. I was waiting for the last drop of his semen on the floor and then I had another load. Now it was six times. Unbelievable!
-Sir, I don't know how to thank you –I said almost crying-. You're the hottest man on Earth. I will never again have a little dick, except for you, o how I desire you could see it, and you have made me feel so attractive. But I have not praised you enough yet. Everything in you makes me horny. You are so cute. You have such a sexy body. And I would like you to always smell as you smell today. I didn't know I had a sense of smell for sex and without it now I could never be horny. Please go on unwashed as long as you want. And I thank you so much…
-Cayron, stop, please. I know you feel gratitude right now and it is impossible for me to utter my satisfaction at your satisfaction. Never forget any more nobody can be hotter than you. I think after today I will always cum thinking about you. I can wank over a hot guy I see in porn movies, of course, or a hot guy I happen to see on the street, but when the time comes to cum, it would be useless unless I think of you.
-Thank you, Sir -I was starting to cry right now- oh, how I like you.
-Now we must say goodbye for tonight.
-I don't want to say goodbye to you or to this wonderful night, Sir.
-I know. Neither do I. But you must also have the pleasure to get aroused at your own self. I will miss you too, but you will still be downstairs with me. I can smell your clothes, your handkerchief, your pee on the floor; my hand is full of your shit and you can take upstairs the memory of my naked body and my scent.
-And your words, Sir.
-Cayron, will you go upstairs stark naked?
-I will, Sir. I can't imagine myself wanting to get dressed in twenty-four hours. So, goodnight, Sir.
I didn't forget to kiss his mouth again. And I slowly started to go up the stairs. His wonderful cock was again working, seeing my naked stroll. It's fifteen steps to the landing, where I stopped. I knew well he was wanking over my full back nudity right now. I was like that for a couple of minutes and then turned. I could hear him praising every single bit of my full frontal nudity right now. It was so hot to see him wanking again. I could never get tired of that sight. "Now your cock must enjoy, Sir."I thought. "Do not stop cumming tonight, please. You deserve it". And I had something to do and tell him, so I instantly took my hand to my dick again and started to wank for him to see. Then I shouted.
-This is to you, Sir, as a sign of moved arousal. This is the man I am now thanks to you. I look forward to morning now to see and smell you again. Thanks, you hot man –I said, madly jerking off-. I could be an hour here now saying sweet things to you. But I will say goodbye to you now, Sir. Now cum as many times your wonderful dick is able to cum tonight. It is your turn for pleasure. Goodbye, Sir.
Impossible to describe how I enjoyed my first nudist experience, walking naked to my room. There was a northern corridor with six rooms on the right. I turned left, or southwards, three rooms on the west, three rooms on the east. My room was next to his, the second on the right, facing west. His was the southernmost. He had to walk opposite mine first to go to his room. I entered at once. I was shocked when I saw a hot naked man there in the mirror, and couldn't believe it was me. I wanted to piss, but it would be later. I went to the mirror. I didn't want to practice narcissism that very night. My cock was exhausted and I still had an hour ahead for my seventh masturbatory pleasure that night. So I didn't start, but enjoyed looking at that sexy naked man, myself, for a good while. I had never considered myself cute before tonight but now I knew all of us are cute. We only need to find somebody who sees us thus and I had found it. So as you think I am cute, Sir, I am cutest, at least for you. I couldn't wait to look at my dick. I had a completely different dick. It was born today. And I remembered him say I had a second one in my mind. "So you have, Sir." I looked at my balls. Pleasure has started with you, I told them. I couldn't believe they were loaded again. I didn't forget my chest. I raised my arms and saw my armpit hair. I sniffed them. Nobody had ever before sniffed my pits or feet, but they were going to be a part of my sexual life after today. As I could, I sniffed my ripe feet too, and I remembered his pleasure with them. It was difficult to look at my ass, but I finally managed to see it. I had never used my ass for sex, but now I saw I had a wonderful little ass and desired him having pleasure with it frequently. "This ass is for you, Sir", I thought. But after being convinced that I had a sexy body, I wanted all my body to be his.
After this short moment of narcissism, I had to go to the toilet. I couldn't believe I was having pleasure in a toilet, but the simple fact that it was hard for me to piss with such a huge erection now made me horny. Of course I looked at my pee as if it were him looking at it and enjoying my kidney juice again. I tasted some of my piss and I knew now that I would be able to drink his tomorrow morning. Then I sat at the toilet. I had much to wipe. I remembered this piggie man having little snacks and I went mad with arousal again. I needed to soon be wanking again in my bed as if it were the first time I was going to wank in my life. Well, it would be the first time jerking off with the image of a man.
I was finally on my bed feeling for the first time the touch of sheets under my naked body. I started to jerk. I had so many pictures in my mind that I didn't know where to begin. But I looked at the watch. It was a miracle! How this mere chance turned me on. It was exactly 12:04. Well 12:04 and 22 seconds to be exact. You are clairvoyant, Sir. Now I know the moment I should change the past masturbation into the future masturbation: at 12:34 and at 1:04 I would cum. I started remembering his man scent but soon I knew that if I started at this point I would be unable to be wanking for an hour, for I would soon cum again. So, I started at the beginning. His first kick in my balls, the discovery of a new world of pleasure. Then the second kick and the third, already with my clothes off. How he had convinced me to be stark naked before him and how I desired I had no clothes on for him to see everything of my nude body. How it was the first time in my life I had undressed with no fear of not being attractive. But I took longer in the pig things. How he had enjoyed my piss on the floor. How he dared show me the pig he was and how easy it was for me to tell him one day I would shit my diarrhea in his mouth. I remembered his satisfaction with my snot, how he had enjoyed the fact that I had given him my dirty handkerchief, he had enjoyed my mansmells, the smell of my farts, and mainly the little snacks he often had of my bowels and how he loved the smell of my shit. I was some minutes remembering his hot naked body, his wonderful scent, his courage telling me how pig he was and going pigger every minute with me. I was half an hour in heaven remembering all this. It was 12:34. Now I could wank about the future.
Kidney juice came to my mind first, but I would leave that image to cum. I was slowly imagining all his scenes and considering myself capable of doing everything. "Come on, you little dick", I said to myself, "you will be able to do everything tomorrow". I knew I could be giving my first blowjob next morning and I was on fire imagining his dick in my mouth. I wanted to do it. I remembered his cock had already been inside my mouth and I had loved his smell and taste. Tomorrow it will be minutes inside my mouth. I should care to give a good blowjob. And I knew I was able of at least trying the piggest things. They turned me on. At least in my imagination I was perfectly able to do everything and I even desired to taste his shit. Eating with farts and talking about shit. How fucking original. I was thinking of questions to ask him at lunch when I saw he was coming into my room.
-Come in, Sir –I told him because he was shy even to enter my room, though he could perfectly see I was naked and wanking.
-Good night, Cayron.
-You can touch me, Sir. And I want to touch you.
We started a mutual groping then. And a bit of mutual sniffing again. But I had to tell him.
-Sir, you are a seer. I started at exactly 12:04. I am in the future masturbation now.
-Good. I hope you like some of the future pictures.
-I like them all.
-Did you look at yourself in the mirror?
-I did, Sir. And indeed I saw a hot body, but I preferred to imagine you looking at me.
-One day you must wank over yourself. But now I will leave you so can enjoy alone your masturbation.
And he left. But I could well imagine him now in his room having masturbatory pleasure thinking of me as I was doing the same in my room thinking of him.
I still had ten minutes and started to imagine impossible future or likely futures. I knew he would never rape me, but I even desired he came to my room in the middle of the night and surprised me with his dick in my ass, popping my cherry. And I started to imagine some other things I knew would not come tomorrow, but would be possible soon. And I saw him shitting in my mouth and this thought curiously made me on fire and I saw myself eating shit and enjoying it. I do not know how pig I can be, but I want to try everything. Only one minute now. Think of kidney juice, you little dick, and cum. It was an erotic picture of myself cumming at 1:04 and 42 seconds.
I went to the toilet again and pissed with a hard on. Then I returned to bed and tried to sleep. I did not think of literature or stars but the choice to think about gardening was no good. I saw myself one day working for the Baileys and I thought I could have some workmates with me. As I was trying to get some sleep, I imagined them unwashed and having an instant hard on before them. If that happened, what could I do? But it was impossible not to think of smelly gardeners. I had to go to the toilet and piss several times, but I think it was at about 4 that I was finally asleep. Three hours was enough and I don't remember what I dreamt but it could well be about smelly men pissing.
The alarm clock rang. I started soon to have erotic pictures in my mind and got an instant hard on. Was it all a dream? I had to be sure, because I intended to enter his room stark naked. What if nothing were true? But I couldn't forget the smell of his naked skin and I remembered he came into my room and we touched. I could not have dreamt that. And I was naked in bed and the door was open. Never could I have gone to bed like that if it weren't all real. So, with my hard on I went to the toilet and pissed again. Now I would always see him there whenever I pissed. I wanted to go to my bathroom cupboard. I knew Sonia had forgotten some lipstick there. I was on fire and the day was starting. I found it and started carefully painting my left thigh. You were right, Sir. I am horny at every letter. Trembling with arousal I started painting the arrow. I had calculated room for every one of the ten letters of Littledick. And the arrow was there pointing at that part of my body and humiliating me. I could not believe I was so aroused. Now it was time to go down to the northern kitchen so the naked party of all day today could go on.
The naked stroll with a hard on moving freely through the house was such a glorious experience. I only desired Sir was there and saw me walking down the stairs, as he desired to see me: totally nude, with a boner and a humiliation painted. I finally reached the northern kitchen. I started to make his coffee as every morning. "Come on, Cayron. He also deserves a good coffee today. Wait to become aroused and think of nothing else." Soon it was ready. I would taste it later when I was drinking my own coffee. I eagerly waited for the sound of coffee coming out now. It was a long wait. Hell, I desired to be having pleasure at my dick. But finally that noise came. I touched my dick first of all before pouring my coffee. Then when it was done I sat at the kitchen table. It was new to be having coffee and wanking at the same time. How good it was, Sir, that you have shown me new pleasures. The taste of coffee was all right. I was madly wanking cause I needed to be especially aroused for what would come next. But I didn't take long. I soon stood up, without cumming, I was sure I would cum many times with this hot man, and I got the tray and I saw then the spiral staircase leading to the northern corridor upstairs, to old Pete's former room. I saw I would be able to shit there one day.
I was anxious on the stairs. I didn't want to lose balance and was so horny I hardly watched my steps, but finally I was upstairs. I almost ran to his room. Nevertheless I peeked at the open door of his room. He had never slept with open doors. He had a sheet on. I took courage and entered. He was wide awake watching me and smiled.
-Good morning, Sir.
And looking at my humiliation, he said.
-Good morning, littledick.
-Sir, I am the same arousing and aroused Cayron as I was last night. It is a pleasure to tell you I have no pain in my balls after seven ejaculations.
I put the tray on the bedside table and pulled down the sheets. I was then both surprised and moved. I saw he had littledick on his left thigh too. I started to cry.
-Cayron, I am also a little dick, remember. Could you think I was gonna humiliate you without being willing to humiliate myself too?
I started to grope his hot naked body at once out of real emotion. I loved this man. I added.
-Thank you, Sir. I will be naked all day. And of course you can be all day groping, licking, sniffing and doing piggie things to me.
He started to touch me.
-How I love to see you like that, how I love to touch and smell again the hottest man on Earth, and see you have no pain in your balls.
-Sir, I can ask you anything, can't I?
-Dare to ask, my sweetest thing. Everything you want to know, I will tell you.
-Have you ever had a boyfriend and didn't want the servants to know?
He answered but never stopped touching me.
-I have never had a boyfriend, Cayron. It would be very difficult for me, not because of the pig I am, but because I don't believe in fidelity. I would cheat him, just the same as I would like him to cheat me. Imagine I have a boyfriend and he likes going to the cinema or having dinner with his workmates. For me it would be the same if he wants to fuck them. I consider sex a very different thing from love.
-I have never believed in fidelity myself, Sir. I think many people consider obvious what can be only a social standard.
I had more questions as he had his coffee and never stopped touching him. In that moment we were two mad men wildly groping everything. He gently stroked my now humiliated little dick and my balls sometimes.
-You don't like feminization, do you?
-What is exactly what you want to ask me?
-As I was jacking off last night alone in my bedroom, I imagined myself dressed as a girl for you, but I didn't know if you would like it. I think I have a feminine side.
-So do I, Cayron. And everything is ok if we have pleasure. I would always prefer a masculine aspect in you, but I would also like to see you dressed as a girl now, but only if I have girls' clothes on me too at the same time. And you would be wonderful in a girl's clothes and with an astounding erection.
We were having fun at that but finally I saw he had finished his coffee. That was the sign. I didn't hesitate a moment. I took immediately his cock into my mouth. I loved the smell of his manhood. I was sure I would like to taste it for hours. He was worried and asked.
-Are you sure? You know what I am gonna do if you don't take your mouth off my cock, don't you?
-Sir, I won't take my mouth off your cock. Do what you have to do.
-A little stream then. Taste it and you can stop if you want.
It was my first taste of his kidney juice. I loved it and he saw me enjoying it. He asked if I wanted more and with a gesture I told him I wanted to talk.
-Sir, I want you to empty your bladder in my stomach now. It tastes so good.
-Can you describe the taste?
-I will try, Sir. It is hot, salty, wet and very dirty. I love starting to be a pig. I feel like saying oink.
-I could not have described the taste better. It is salty, but bitterer than any other piss in the day. Shall I go on?
-I want to drink all the kidney juice you have, Sir.
His bladder was full and he was pissing for a couple of minutes. Now my sexual life was not only smells. In that precise moment I started to like flavors. I waited eagerly for the last drop of piss and then I started to suck. I was wanking all the time, not only because I wanted to do and wanted to leave on the floor my milk from the cock, but also because I loved the taste of his dirty dick and was swallowing as a madman. My first blowjob. Now I look back moved at that moment. I couldn't help but say.
-Delicious, Sir, congratulations.
-I am so happy that you like this too. It is not necessary to remind you I would do the same to your wonderful dick.
-Sir, please, I know. But don't think of my cock now. Think about my mouth in your cock. Am I giving you a good blowjob, Sir? Do you like it?
-It is perfect, Cayron.
-I will be my whole life giving now, I know. But, shut up, you little dick, give him pleasure now.
-Cayron, I miss no sense with you. I had enjoyed sight, touch, smell and taste with you. Also hearing, but now I am really enjoying my sense of hearing with you as I watch you madly jerking off. So, please go on talking.
-Thanks, Sir –I added as I went on tasting his meat. It lasted for ten minutes, ten wonderful minutes. I knew now I would desire to blow him every day. And finally he cummed in my mouth. I waited for his last drop and then pointed at my little dick and cummed on his bedroom floor as he desired.
-Have you enjoyed it, Cayron?
-Can I blow you more times today, Sir?
-That's an answer. You can blow me every day if you like. But I want you to wait for twenty-four hours. If you really want, you can blow me then again. You can do it as many times you wish tomorrow, no restrictions, but remember any moment you wish you can put your dick into my mouth.
-Do I also have to wait twenty-four hours for your milk from the cock? Or four your kidney juice? I wanna know the difference.
-If you really ask me more times today, you will have my kidney juice again tonight.
-And your milk from the cock?
-Ok, my sweetest thing. You won't suck me again today but you can jack me off as yesterday and the moment I feel like cumming I will ask you to open your mouth and you can drink it.
-I will mop my room now, Sir. I will start there. I will leave you alone now so you can comfortably wank as much as you want. I hope you are all day cumming, Sir. We can be all day having fun.
-Cayron, you can mop my room too, but please leave there both our milks from our cocks. The secret closet is open now. You can see it when you want.
I kissed his mouth again and left. O how wonderfully the day had started. I went to my room and started to mop. I was still in it when a quarter of an hour later, I saw him again, stark naked and coming with a strong urge to see me and touch me. I began to grope him all over. We were all day like that coming up and down the stairs to see each other again.
-Sir, I want to know if you have cummed this morning over my cum, and how many times you cummed yesterday.
-I have cummed right now over your cum but have not tasted it. Maybe because I would desire to taste your cum in my mouth first after a blowjob. And yes, I cummed last night one more time downstairs and three more times in my room. I was madly wanking over you till three o' clock a.m. Then I had enough and got asleep as I have never before slept in my life, well satisfied. Do you have enough for now, you hot man?
-Almost, Sir. But let us go inside. I would also want you to cum in my room. After today I will always keep all doors open so you can enter whenever you want. Even the bathroom door, so you can see me always pissing or having a shower. You know I have to. I will work outside. Now come into my room and cum, Sir, as I enjoy again the pleasure of having two hands for your little dick and mine.
I was frantically taking care of both our cocks there inside my bedroom. We never stopped sniffing our sweated bodies and smells were taking us to heaven. He suddenly asked me.
-I feel like cumming. Cayron, can I please be second now?
-Ok, Sir. So my milk from the cock will fall first in my bedroom floor.
And soon it was there staining the floor. A couple of minutes later his cum was also in my room.
-Come here whenever you want and cum, Sir. My room is your room.
And he said he was gonna mop the stairs right now. In fact he had a bucket full of water and walked naked to the top of the stairs. I didn't wanna miss that show. I approached him again and saw him working naked. I was so close that I sometimes touched his buttocks. Then he used to turn, touch me and smile. I could hardly return to my obligations, but I knew I had to or the house floors would not be mopped that day. I continued with the northern rooms.
Twenty minutes later I went down to pick up the clothes I was wearing last night and I saw him mopping the way from the living room to the kitchen. I sat on the couch, raised my left foot for him to sniff, and then, as I was no longer shy, raised his arm and sniffed his right pit. I took my clothes upstairs, and smiling came back downstairs. He had finished mopping the kitchen and I started with our meat and tomato juice. I put on an apron. I felt he was behind at the door enjoying the sight now of seeing me there cooking naked. Obviously he was jerking off. We spent all morning like that as two newborn adults who had just discovered the adventure of life. But in two hours all the floors were swept and mopped. Then I asked him to wait for me comfortably sitting in the couch. Lunch was ready and I brought everything necessary for us both.
-And now, Sir, I am happy to say we will have pig lunch.
-Good, my sweetest thing. Sit next to me and let us start a new reflexive masturbation.
Lunch was on the table now. It was a little hot yet. But he had the first taste of the meal.
-Perfect as usual, Cayron. Now it is your turn to taste it.
I knew then that however aroused I was, the meal fortunately had the usual flavor. "Maybe one day I will be a cook for you with my stomach, Sir. But I am glad to hear that I am still a good cook for you with my hands." And then I was looking impatiently for his second snack and the exact moment food was in his mouth I farted with a big noise. Then I had to eat something and he didn't hesitate either. His first fart came then with a glorious sound and smell.
-Good, Sir. Now lunch is perfectly perfumed, Sir. Let us go on farting all the meal. And now let us talk about shit, Sir.
-Ok, Cayron. You know you can ask me any question.
Curiously he was not having any little snacks then but he never stopped stroking my balls.
-I know this question will be stupid, Sir, but what does shit taste like?
-I expected that question, Cayron – a long, smelly fart now, to remind me we were talking about shit-. But it is impossible to answer. Let's see. Can you tell me what a tomato tastes like?
-It tastes like a tomato, Sir.
-So, shit tastes like shit. You have to taste it to know. But I could tell you at least that a tomato has a sweet fresh taste, whereas shit has a bitter taste of something rot your stomach has been cooking. It somehow tastes like… well, garbage, putrid food. I love the taste.
-Have you often eaten shit?
-As often as an average of twenty times a year. I started at twenty-two and I am thirty-two now. So eleven times twenty is more or less two hundred and twenty times.
-Do you like it?
-I have chosen meat and tomato juice so you can imagine that this tomato sauce that is slipping now down the corners of my lips can be fancied as shit. I love to see my tongue, teeth and lips full with shit. I have never spread shit all over my body cause I would have to go to the shower then and you know I don't like the shower. And the taste of shit never abandons you. If you want to taste it again you only have to belch and it comes back.
-I am really enjoying my meal, Sir. The smell of farts and shit surround us. It is a perfect perfume for meals. Sir, I cannot wait to tell you that I am gonna shit after lunch and I want you to come with me and see me.
-Wonderful, my sweetest thing.
-Sir, I want you to enjoy as much as you can. First, let me tell you that if you don't like the smell of my shit, please leave the bathroom and…
-Where will you shit?
-This first time, it will be in my bedroom toilet, Sir, but if you happen to like the show, every day I will tell you when I have to shit and you can come and see me. I would be changing the toilet or the place and one day I could even shit here, in the living room floor. That's why I wanted to tell you, Sir, that if you really like it, you can do anything and as many times as you wish. I'm not gonna shit for your pleasure and be shy later. So please you can have as many little snacks as you want. Even more than you mentioned last night. Feel free to eat that which my stomach has affectionately cooked for you.
Some more farts and we finished lunch. It had been a perfect pig meal. Now I knew I would always like eating with him like that. We both cummed again on the floor and I stood up and went to the kitchen to do the washing-up. He approached the kitchen door and remained there, waiting for me. I soon finished and called him to come up the stairs with me to my room. I am glad he was coming with me, glad he was cumming with me.

Ministers, Pastors, and Rabbis are often called upon to directly help congregants in troubled marriages.
Couples Therapy Inc. is proud to be able to assist these valuable community leaders and other faith-based couples. We offer highly-skilled couples therapists who are comfortable integrating religious teachings with science-based help.
For more than 49 years, Rev. Jim Ramsey, thrice ordained minister and certified Gottman Therapist has been helping couples see the wisdom of God in Science-based couples therapy. For Couples Therapy Inc.
Fortunately, Dr. John Gottman's research is compatible with Biblical passages about relationships. He's even written a biblical guide for those who want to meditate on and study how science and religious teachings work together.
While his research wasn't based upon philosophical or religious ideology, we've found a compendium of biblical verses that are consistent. It shouldn't be surprising to learn that there are many tie-ins between Scriptures and research on intimate relationships.
Dr. Gottman began his research in 1972, in collaboration with Dr. Robert Levenson. He's observed over 3,000 couples in his reach lab. He videotaped them talking about pleasant topics, and areas of continuing disagreement. He monitored their heart rate, blood flow velocity, and sweat output, recording moment-by-moment changes. Endocrine and immune functions were also obtained. He used science to demonstrate age-old teachings about human nature and relationships. Rev. Ramsey was an early adopter of Gottman's approach.
Dan is a very thoughtful guy. He met us where we were. He is direct. He weaved in scientific studies and our religious writings with great skill. We very much enjoyed working with him...
Gottman found that 96% of the time, the way a discussion starts out predicts the way it will end. If you bring up an issue in a harsh way, there is only a 4% change that it will right itself.
Although seen occasionally with all couples, harsh start-ups are highly predictive of divorce when they are prevalent.
Colossian 4:6 "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
Proverbs 15:4 "Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit."
Philippians 4:5 "Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near."
Gottman emphasizes ways to actively enhance fondness and admiration in a relationship. How you look upon any particular interaction is going to impact how you respond to it. Is your spouse a loving, caring force in your life? Are they trying their best, or are they trying to take advantage of you? Are you grateful or resentful of their efforts to influence you and the direction of your family?
We teach this to couples in our ongoing Couples Intensive Retreats and in Online Couples Therapy.
Proverbs 16:24 "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
Song of Solomon 4:1-15 "How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead...."
"Little connections often." Turning toward are subtle, and learning what to do to reconnect, when these small daily connections are missed, creates loving bonds. When one turns away or against these small bids for connection, partner are left lonely and isolated. Gottman refers to these as "deposits" or "withdrawals" from the Emotional Bank Account.
Thessalonians 2:8 "So we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well."
Romans 12:10 "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."
One aspect of Turning Toward is a daily exercise called 'Stress Reducing Conversations." It allows the couple to discuss outside stressors and get comfort from each other. It has been scientifically proven to reduce relapse.
Romans 12:15 "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn."
Philippians 4:14 "Yet is was good of you to share in my troubles."
The majority of problems couples experience in a marriage are perpetual. They are never going to be resolved. For this reason, Gottman refers to the need to "manage" marital conflicts and not "resolve" them. Learning how to dialogue about different perspectives with amusement, respect, and affection is the key.
Ephesians 4:2 "Be patient with each other making allowance for each other's faults because of your love."
2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient; for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Contempt puts someone down, and puts oneself on a higher plane. When partners feel superior, and act with belligerence, the mindset of contempt becomes a habit of mind. This habit constantly scans the environment for people's faults and mistakes, rather than look for what is positive or what to admire. It is the single best predictor of divorce.
Proverbs 26:21 "A quarrelsome person starts fights as easily as hot embers lights charcoal or fire lights wood."
Matthew 5:22 "...If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. If you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell."

VBA Vulnerability Makes Office Documents Dangerous Severity: High
11 May, 2010Summary:
§ This vulnerability affects: Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which ships with all current versions of Office
§ How an attacker exploits it: By tricking one of your users into opening a malicious Office document
§ Impact: An attacker can potentially gain complete control of your windows computers (depending on the privileges of the user)
§ What to do: Download, test, and install Microsoft's update as soon as possible, or let Windows Automatic Update do it for youExposure:
According to Microsoft, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is "a development technology for developing client desktop packaged applications and integrating them with existing data and systems." In more understandable terms, it's a programming language that allows developers to make customized applications based on the Office applications. All current versions of Office ship with VBA, and the Office applications make use of it to perform certain functions.
According to this Microsoft security bulletin, VBA suffers from a memory corruption vulnerability having to do with the way it searches for ActiveX controls in a document that supports VBA. Without getting too deep into the technical details, if an attacker can lure one of your users into downloading a specially crafted Office document that supports VBA, he can exploit this flaw to execute code on that user's computer, with that user's privileges. If the user has local administrator privileges, that attacker gains full control of the PC. An attacker can trigger this flaw using just about any Office document, including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents.Solution Path:
Microsoft has released patches to fix these vulnerabilities. You should download, test, and deploy the appropriate Office and VBA patches as soon as possible, or let Windows Automatic Update do it for you.
