With Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny scheduled to attend the Mayo Society of Greater Cleveland's annual Charity Banquet and Ball at LaCentre Conference and Banquet Facility Saturday, many Westshore Irish are likely excited at the chance to meet a sitting head of government.
But Westlake Councilman Michael O'Donnell has already met Kenny.
The Ward 4 councilman, his wife, Ann, and their two daughters, Jackie and Katie, both in their 20s, traveled to Ireland in August.
O'Donnell spent two days in Westlake's sister city of Tralee, in the southwest of Ireland. He attended the Rose of Tralee Ball, part of the weeklong festival centering on the contest in which a young woman of Irish descent is named the Rose of Tralee. The councilman met the Irish prime minister at a private reception prior to the Rose Ball, he said.
O'Donnell said the people of Tralee were very welcoming.
"They really take this sister city thing like you're one of their own," he told West Life.
O'Donnell attended a Tralee Town council meeting as part of the continuing efforts to share ideas between the two communities.
"The thing I was interested in was their energy conservation," he said.
O'Donnell also was impressed by a visit to the Tralee Bay Wetlands Center, a recently opened nature park designed to attract ecotourists.
Shortly after O'Donnell's visit, Tralee Town Clerk Michael Seannell wrote Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough about O'Donnell's visit, calling him an "exceptional ambassador."
"It is very much appreciated by Tralee Town Council that our sister city Westlake continues to support the (Rose of Tralee) festival both by hosting an event in your own city and also by traveling to Tralee, which I realize is a significant expense to the people involved," Seannell wrote.
Seannell was referring to the 2-year-old Northern Ohio Rose of Tralee contest, whose winner competes in the international Rose of Tralee contest. This year's Northern Ohio Rose, Ashley Speaker, did not advance to the final round, but will attend Mayo Society and other public events over the next six months.

Actually... Ron does qualify... He is only 25 and has a VERY reasonable contract...
As for Gerald Wallace - he's interesting. He's not a great player like Ron is, but he's very good and only 23 which means there's a strong chance for greatness in the near future. An interesting thing about a deal with the Bobcats is, their owner, Robert Johnson, is also the founder of B.E.T. B.E.T is actually headquartered in Charlotte. With Ron wanting to be a parttime rapper/music producer/entertainer/whatever, that certainly makes for some very interesting thoughts.
Nope. Z makes too much. We'd have to add more. There's a very easy to use trade checker up at http://realgm.com/src_tradechecker it's just point and click for the most part, and will take you maybe 30 seconds to figure out. But anyways, I dont think a deal with the Cavs will go down.Originally Posted by Pacesetter
(1) They're a division rival. No way do you trade with them unless your clearly getting the best end of the deal, and unless we get back LeBron or Hughes + another good player, we won't be getting the best end of a deal with them.
(2) As for Ilgauskas, he's pretty aged (30 years, 6 months) and with his past injuries it''s very easy to see him completely breaking down any season now.
(3) He's not that good anyways. Yeah, he's got some offensive talent, but defensively and rebounding-wise, Foster is the superior player. I'd rather keep Foster starting at center and trade for a very good perimeter player than trade Ron for an aged center.
Hey Seth,Originally Posted by Naptown Seth
Note that not all of the trades proposed are serious and most would require us getting several key players / considerations... the fact is that some teams don't match our trade needs or have a suitable talent that we can trade Ron for...
I find Odom and Wallace to be fair trades... even in the case of Wallace though, I think we should try to get more...
I'd actually feel bad sending Ron to the Bobcats. No, not for Ron, but the Bobcats. They have a lot of young up and coming players over there, and I wouldn't want Ron screwing with their heads.Originally Posted by Ultimate Frisbee
I hear it's because he's frustrated and doesn't understand the Triangle offense.
Life without water is tough, life without air is hard,life with one leg only is wobbly, Life without Reggie Miller, is impossible.

I actually think that Ron really likes younger guys and could be a big help to him, look how he treats Danny and Sarunas.

THis is a funny one:
Artest to NY, Harrington to Ind., Frye and Marbury to Atlanta
Or, Artest to NY, Harrington to Ind., Frye and Andre Miller to Atlanta, QRich, Lee, and Lue to Denver
Boston - No good trades seen.
Chicago - Most involve Gordon+_ for Artest
Cleveland - Consensus is that they'd do any of these trades (or, it seems, any trade not involving Lebron... they really want Ron but find it unlikely since they are in the same division):
1.) gooden/donyell/luke for artest and fred jones (to make salaries match)
2.) Cleveland Trades:
Drew Gooden 6-10 PF from Kansas
Luke Jackson 6-7 SF from Oregon
Aleksandar Pavlovic 6-7 SG from Serbia-Montenegro (Foreign)
Indiana Trades:
Ron Artest 6-7 SF from St. John's
3.) Ron Artest and Austin Croshere
Pacers receive:
Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden
Dallas: They are opposed to Artest almost unanimously... even for Daniels
Denver: Couldn't find a good board..
Golden State: Seem to be amenable to all trades involving Pietrus + _ for Artest + _ ... Murphy and Fisher seem to be mentioned a lot. (their dream includes getting Sarunas or Foster in return... but most of the reasonable ones question why we'd take Pietrus for Artest at all)
Artest for:
Expiring salary (McCarty, N'Dong)
The Wolves pick
Future picks (1st round, 2nd round
seems to be the consensus... Most wouldn't do Maggette for Artest but a few might...
Lakers: Very few want Artest for Odom, surprisingly... but several want Artest... Something about cake and eating it too.... ;-)
Grizz: Hard to gague... I can't find a good board... They don't think West would go for Battier for Artest
Miami: They know that they aren't going to get Artest, so no serious trades were offered.
Milwaukee: Also probably not going to get Artest... Simmons + more is clearly and option for them though...
Minnesota: They seem to like Artest... Szcerbiak and Hassell is a possibility for Artest + filler but they rightfully think that it is too little and don't want to give up Griffin.
New Jersey: Vince Carter or Kidd seem to be possibilites... Word is out on Jefferson...
NJ trades:
Richard Jefferson
Marc Jackson
IND trades:
Ron Artest
Jeff Foster
New Orleans: A resounding NO (no pun intended)
New York: Funny how many Ariza + more crap for Artest trades are proposed... IF only there were some way we could rip IT off... everyone else seems to be doing it...
A trade:
Marbury/Ariza for Tinsley/Artest/Bender
- a funny comment on this trade: "Why because NO OTHER TEAM will give up there two best players to get him. "
Orlando: Grant Hill.
Philadelphia: Seem to like Artest (A LOT... plus he would be pretty close to home...) Iguodala is certainly an option for them (also Korver... obiously)... They also don't like AI...
Phoenix: Not really much they can do to compete with other offers...
Portland: Miles plus pick
Sacto: Here is a good quote:
"I just took a few minutes and read some of the vast multitude of threads/posts about this at PacersDigest. The consensus is about 3 to 1 in favor of totally washing their hands of him, even though some of them admit he's the best player on their team right now. Their comments about him make the most vile stuff posted here about Webber look like testimonials.
If they're THAT fed up with him, I'm more convinced than ever that Ron Artest is simply a liability we do not need." --- they are smart fans... They don't think that Ron would fit with their team...
Spurs: Nesterovic ... LOL (salaries match)
Raptors: Possibly:
to Toronto: Pollard, Fred JONES, Luke Jackson
to Indiana: Peterson,Aaron Williams,Dreew Gooden,Eric Snow
to Cleveland: Eric Williams, Ron Artest
Joey Graham, Alvin Williams, Our pick and Denver's pick
Artest and Indiana's pick
Utah: They are surprisingly not overly oposed to trading anyone on their team for Ron... Including AK47... which I find odd...
Washington: Jamison, Butler or Jared Jefferies seem to be possibilites...
Good Night!
lol good thinking....AK47 would be hell good in indiana so would starbury...i cant w8 2 c the outcome of this
Damn, that was a lot of work. Nice job, some interesting stuff.Originally Posted by Ultimate Frisbee
What about a deal that could land Stephon Marbury here? I know many don't like him because he's "selfish", but I was thinking of playing him at the 2 and move Jackson to the 3.
Knicks seem to be looking for a point guard, so how about this....
Ron Artest, Jamaal Tinsley, and Scot Pollard to New York in exchange for Stephon Marbury, Channing Frye, and Trevor Ariza?
Sarunas Jasikevicius/Anthony Johnson
Stephon Marbury/Fred Jones
Stephen Jackson/Danny Granger
Jermaine O'Neal/Austin Croshere
Channing Frye/Jeff Foster
And we'd still have 3 nice young projects in Granger, Ariza, and Harrison to work with.
AK47 and Saras on the same team....wow. Along with JO ...o golly.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
I'm not opposed to a Marbury trade based on what kind of player Marbury is ( but I know a lot of people would be... )... I'm a little hesitant to take on his contract though...Originally Posted by Naptown Seth
Honestly... I'd be happy with basically any one else right now... Happy for a change am I... :
Well since he's been "banned" until he gets traded I don't think we are going to get much for him. I think we would have the best chance for some reasonable returns IF we throw in another player as then we can start looking at players making more money, widening the limited possibilities that are worth just a little.

Successful Scenario
Due to Indiana and Toronto being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Indiana and Toronto had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
I think its safe to put Chicago in the "Been there, done that, no fing way in Hell we're doing that again" camp.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
Didn't we just go through a huge "SJax plays better if he is the 2nd scoring option" debate?
If you come to the conclusion that SJax plays better as the 2nd scoring option....then it would make ZERO sense to get an offensive minded player like Rashard Lewis or Peja ( of course ignoring the liklihood that their respective teams have very little incentive to give up a star player for a guy that has very little trade value ) that would take away the 2nd scoring shots that SJax thinks he should get.
What we need is a player that play as a 3rd scoring option....but more importantly one that can effectively defend the SG position.
If you want another scorer....we should trade for a bench scorer...but not one that starts.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Frye's the deal-breaker in that one. Substitute Nate Robinson or David Lee (a Foster Clone minus 2") and it could happen though Marbury and Zeke are tight. Frye's being looked at as the 2nd coming right now.Originally Posted by Naptown Seth

Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese in Waterloo, Wisconsin is back in business this week, resulting in a collective cheer of "whoo-hoo!" from mozzarella lovers everywhere.
Crave Brothers Farmstead Rope, Fresh Mozzarella Logs, Fresh Mozzarella Balls, and their many fresh mozzarella balls in brine - including my favorite, Marinated Ciliegine - are back in stores. As I stocked the shelves at Metcalfe's Market Hilldale this afternoon (where I work as the specialty cheese manager), customers stopped and put packages of the cheese in their carts before I could even get them onto the shelf. I'm thinking I'm going to have to re-order before the weekend.
While the family has remained understandably quiet since the plant shut down in July, the industry has rallied around the Craves with virtual hugs, supportive emails and note cards, wishing them a full recovery and healthy road to get back on their feet. This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted on their website that "this outbreak appears to be over" and the Craves posted a simple "We're making Cheese!" on their website.
So here's a hearty welcome back to Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese (insert giant hug here). We sure missed you guys.

The Hour Of Marriage - Poem by Valentine Mbagu
The hour comes when you dream for marriage,
The hour when destiny calls the future to fulfilment;
The hour when nature requires you to settle down.
The hour when singles seek companionship,
The hour when you are ready for marriage;
The hour when nature calls for marriage.
The hour when someone out there seeks your hand in marriage,
The hour when someone awaits your appearance;
The hour when someone designed for you calls your attention to marriage.
The hour when you believe to find your missing rib,
that part of you that makes you fulfilled;
The hour when you wait and hope for marriage;
The hour when you find that missing part of you that makes you complete.
Beware, many will come in disguise for marriage;
But be not deceived by multitude of flatteries and gifts;
wait for the hour of marriage.
The hour when past is revealed before a relationship;
The hour when nothing is hidden in a relationship;
The hour when you still love each other despite past lives;
With the understanding that life is surrounded by past adventures.
Trust in the word of God for marriage,
Hope in the call of nature for relationship; and
Believe in the one destined for you by God.
Each step taken brings you closer to that special one.
Someone who awaits you just as you await him/her.
Someone who will never wish to see you in tears, or
bear to see you travail in pains and sorrow;
Someone who will understand every path you tread;
Someone you may not know but believe is out there waiting for you;
and longing for the hour of marriage.
Someone who believe in integrity and honour of the body,
and not defilement of the body before marriage.
Someone who believes in the law of marriage;
........ the law which states that......
Marriage is honourable in all,
above all in a bed undefiled.
Someone who seeks to live for love to marriage,
when the appointed time comes;
Someone who believe that destiny will bring you both together,
when ready to meet each other.
Someone you believe can feel your heart beat as you can feel their's.
Someone whose part of you are and your part they are.
Someone who comes to take away the pains and sorrows of wrong relationships and past lives.
Someone whose heart seeks to build your's.
Someone whose character and charisma seeks your integrity and dignity.
...... Before the hour of marriage.....
Strive to make full proof of life ambitions,
Seek self asset not self liability.
Determine to accomplish your vision for life's mission with passion.
Then seek the hour of marriage and relationship.
The man must strive to acquire wealth before thinking about marriage,
the woman must endeavour to adorn herself in dignity and integrity.
The man must seek to understand the mystery of marriage before venturing into it.
The woman must be willing to submit and humble herself before the man.
Let love not lust lead to marriage.
Let character and charisma constitute a creed for marriage.
Marriage built in love and understanding will blossom forever.
Wait for the hour of marriage for it guarantees happiness forever in marriage.

Jennifer Lawrence is on the verge of becoming a household name.
The 21-year-old actress scored the coveted role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, based on the popular book series by author Suzanne Collins. The first of four films will hit theaters on March 23, putting indie star Lawrence in a much brighter spotlight.
"It's really premature to say that it will be the same phenomenon [as Twilight]," the humble actress recently told Vanity Fair. "If it does become a crazy phenomenon, I'll soak up my freedom now!"
The film, which also stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson, revolves around 12 pairs of teenage tributes who must fight to the death in the nationally televised Hunger Games.
"Katniss is an incredible character: she's a hunter but not a killer, a 16-year-old who's being forced into the arena," Lawrence explained. "These kids are killing one another only because if they don't they'll die. It's needless, pointless, unjustified violence. It's heartbreaking. "
To see a sneak peek from the movie before it hits theaters, check out Us Weekly's Hunger Games gallery now.

USER EDITORmrdivot
How can they be three generations of Fine women when Yetta is Sylvia's mother and Sylvia is only a Fine by marriage? Yetta's last name is Rosenberg
Fran references the song "Papa, Can You Hear Me?" from the movie Yentl.
Yetta said she came in a ship from Romania and met her future husband in America, but in the final episode she states that she spent her first wedding anniversary fleeing Poland.
In this episode Fran didn't know where Niles' room is. But she already once entered his room in the episode "The Facts of Lice".
Yetta dances to the opening theme song of a movie A Chorus Line from 1985.
In the scene where Niles and Fran are pretending to be C.C. and Maxwell in Maxwell's office, they call a woman on the phone, and she puts them on hold. When Maxwell comes in and catches them, they forget to hang up the phone, and Maxwell never notices it.
Niles asks Maxwell if his British accent really sounds fake. It is indeed a fake accent as Daniel Davis originates from Arkansas. It is however not an accent that easily comes off as fake. In fact many viewers from the UK wrote in criticizing Charles Shaughnessy for his "fake" accent and suggested he get help from Daniel Davis. The cast got a kick out of this because, as stated before, Daniel Davis' accent is the real fake one.
In this episode, Morty and Sylvia are supposed to be celebrating their 40th anniversary, but in Maggie's Boyfriend, Sylvia says to Fran, "In the 35 years I've been married to your father..." How did they suddenly add five years in only a few months?
At Val's donut shop, Fran whines that she's drowning her sorrows in jelly, but she's eating a chocolate glazed donut that's not jelly filled.
In this episode, Sylvia sings to Max, "though you're 43, Sonny Boy." Yet in 'That's Mid-life,' Max told Dr. Joyce Brothers he was 42, and in 'The Nose Knows,' he told the man in Dr. Miller's waiting room that he was 44. That would make him 46 now, not 43.
In this episode Fran presents Sammy as Yetta's boyfriend to Jocelyn, however in "Fair Weather Fran" Yetta announced that they were supposed to get married. It is however possible that the wedding had not occured prior to this episode.
Fran says to Yetta that her grandfather died in 1973, meaning he has been dead for 25 years. But in "Once a Secretary, Always a Secretary" she said he's been dead for 26 years.
After Maxwell rips the bottom of Fran's nightgown off, the bottom of the shortened skirt has a visible stitched hemline.
When it shows a birds-eye view of the island in the opening shot, all we see lying on the shore is Fran, but Maxwell is nowhere to be seen, even though he was lying right near her when she woke up
Max and Fran are supposed to be making love in their makeshift hut, but Max never takes his pants off.
Every time the romantic music plays to signify Max and Fran (and later the two chimps in the teaser) getting ready to make love, the closed caption says "Bolero plays," but the actual music playing is "Strangers In The Night."
Where was the rest of James' family during the reading of the will? Why didn't they explain why Nigel, Jocelyn, Max's mother, and James' wife Joan weren't there to hear what they might inherit? Max only mentions them to report that they're contesting the will, but shouldn't they have been in attendance? You'd think Max's mother would have shown up just to flaunt that she'd outlived him.
Fran Drescher (Fran Fine) and Ray Romano (Ray Barone) attended Hillcrest High School in real life.
Flushing, where Fran is from, is a part of Queens County which is on Long Island.
Ray Barone wouldn't have attended a public high school with Fran - he was raised on Long Island.

Mobilidade intrageracional de renda no Brasil [Intragenerational income mobility in Brazil]
The purpose of this study is to measure intragenerational income mobility in Brazil and its several population subgroups within the period 1995-2005. To this end, the mobility axiomatic approach and dynamic instruments proposed by Aebi et al. (1999) are considered. Calculations of mobility indexes and the Markov transaction matrix indicate that Brazil presents low intragenerational income mobility, suggesting that its social structure is relatively rigid. Also, important heterogeneities within each subgroup were observed, thus corroborating the intergenerational results indicated by Ferreira and Veloso (2006).

He plays a special agent in "NCIS," but these days Michael Weatherly seems more excited about another big role in his life: expectant dad.
"We're expanding the brand," the actor, 44, told Entertainment Tonight. "[My wife] Bojana and I are indeed awaiting our second child. We're very excited."
Weatherly and his internist wife, whom he married in 2009, welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Olivia, last April. (The CBS star also has a son, August, from a previous marriage.)
As for this baby's sex, "We will find out, but I don't know [yet]," he said, adding that the baby is due in the fall. "We're very excited. You know, sleep's overrated."

There's always that one guy. You know, the guy who thinks it's funny to mess with people who are just minding their business. One of these guys is about to get his just dessert.
A living statue street performer in Australia is doing his routine for tourists and passers-by when one of those annoying guys walks up and starts poking the poor man and trying to take his hat. The "wet willie" is the breaking point as the street performer reaches back and punches the man in the face.
The cowboy statue returns to his form. That'll learn him.

Via Forbes: The Truly Staggering Cost Of Inventing New Drugs
Having worked in and with Clinical Trials, I can first hand attest to the costs involved in Clinical Trials.
These are trials in humans, which means a compound has already passed the rigorous screening process in the lab and in animals.
There's a myriad of regulations for clinical trials. Not only that, there are additional regulations (computer system validation, filings, audits) that add to the costs.
Ultimately, every drug that makes it to the market not only has to pay for its own development–but
also for all the previously attempted developments.

US meat processor, Tyson Foods, which generates around 2.3bn lbs (about 1000 tonnes) of animal fat/year as part of its food processing operations hopes to be able to turn most of it into biofuel by the end of the year, according to a report by Reuters on Planet Ark.
This is not the first time that Tyson has looked at using the waste products associated with food production. In 2001 it looked at chicken litter as a potential fuel. In January this year it formed Tyson Renewable Energy as a division to look at the possibly of using its waste materials as biofuel feedstocks.
The volumes are likely to be high, and I guess mostly biodiesel of some sort.The question though will be whether it will be competitive with other biofuels if the price of grain starts to rise…but then there's the possibility of cross-subsidising from processed food.

I have a bulbous tip, but I am afraid of having my tip refined because I don't want it to have that "pinched" look. I do want rhinoplasty to remove the hump; should I leave the tip alone?
Want Rhinoplasty But am Scared of Having Tip Refined and Made "Pointy", Can the Tip be Left Alone? (photo)

Rhinoplasty without nasal tip work
Your tip really doesn't look bad. You could leave that alone. It's very possible to remove the bump without making significant changes to the tip. In fact the tip cartilage doesn't need to be cut at all during the procedure. I do think your nasal tip is ptotic, or hanging just a bit. A little rotation of it might be nice. Best of luck. Chase Lay, MD
What to do with tip
Your tip is not that bad and doesn't require much to give it just a bit more definition. Find a rhinoplasty surgeon who you think understands you and your concerns. Check out their work. And go for it.
Want Rhinoplasty But am Scared of Having Tip Refined and Made "Pointy", Can the Tip be Left Alone?
I understand your concerns after looking at your photos and specifically the view from below looking up at the nostrils. What you may not know is that the nasal tip has two dimensions aesthetically. One is the width seen from the previously mentioned base view and the other is from the front view. From the base view the nasal tip is quite thin and I agrre that it should not be reduced further. However, from the front view the nasal tip appear full in the supra-tip area and this should be thinned to create the aesthetically pleasing supra-tip break.
These nuances demonstrate the need for your Rhinoplasty Surgeon to understand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty. IMHO, these aesthetic guidelines are paramount for creating a naturally attractive nose with Rhinoplasty.

Avoiding Pinched Tip in Rhinioplasty
The best way to avoid a pinched tip when having rhinoplasty surgery is to select an experienced surgeon. Slight refinement with increased definition of your tip would improve your appearance when you remove the hump. Don't compromise your result to avoid an unnecessary complication.
Rhinoplasty without nasal tip alteration
From your photos, I believe it would be possible to perform a rhinoplasty which addresses the dorsal hump, without altering your nasal tip. I think the result would be asthetically pleasing. Be certain to discuss your desires and concerns with your surgeon prior to your surgery. Best of luck.

It sounds like you want the bridge lowered but are unsure of having tip work because you do not know what it will look like compared to what you have now. No one can make that decision for you and no one should talk you into having any specific procedure performed. Your best option is to get some computer imaging of possible tip surgery results by an honest surgeon and then make that decision for yourself.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
Can the tip of my nose be left alone??
Your skin is too thick for tip work to create a really pinched look. The tip work is to preserve or increase projection and definition slightly. I agree with Dr. Schuster's recommendation.

Tip concerns and patient expectations
I truly feel that it is a rhinoplasty surgeons job to LISTEN to the patient. If you want the tip left alone, it can be left alone. It is important to discuss with your surgeon what your expectations are. In turn your surgeon should advise you what your tip might look like if not addressed or what it might look like just as a function of the surgery.
Find someone who listens, has experience, is willing to answer questions, and is willing to show you pictures.
Good luck!

Just what is an RMD? After you turn 70?, the IRS requires you to withdraw some of the money in most retirement savings accounts each year. These withdrawals are officially called Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs).
You must take an RMD from a traditional IRAs after you turn 70?, even if you are still working. If you don't, a severe financial penalty awaits - you may have to pay a 50% tax on the amount not distributed. You are not required to take RMDs from a Roth IRA during your lifetime.
You must also begin taking annual RMDs from SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, pension and profit-sharing plans and 401(k), 403(b) and 457 retirement plans annually past age 70?. If you are still employed, you may be able to delay taking RMDs from a profit-sharing plan, a pension plan, or a 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan until you retire. The exception: you must take RMDs from these types of accounts after you turn 70? if you own 5 percent or more of a business sponsoring such a retirement plan.
The annual RMD deadline is December 31, right? Yes, with one notable exception. The IRS gives you 15 months instead of 12 to take your first RMD. Your first one must be taken in the calendar year after you turn 70?. So if you turned 70? in 2013, you can take your initial RMD any time before April 1, 2014. However, if you put off your first RMD until next year you will still need to take your second RMD by Dec. 31, 2014.
Calculating RMDs can be complicated. You probably have more than one retirement savings account. You may have several. So this gets rather intricate.
Multiple IRAs. Should you own more than one traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA, annual RMDs for these accounts must be calculated separately. The IRS does give you some leeway about how to withdraw the money. You can withdraw 100% of your total yearly RMD amounts from just one IRA, or you can withdraw equal or unequal portions from each of the IRAs you own.
401(k)s & other qualified retirement plans. A separate RMD must be calculated for each qualified retirement plan to which you have contributed. An exception: if you have multiple 403(b) TSAs, you can optionally withdraw the sum of all of the RMDs for them from one 403(b) TSA. RMDs for qualified retirement plans must be paid out separately from the RMD(s) for your IRA(s).
This is why you should talk to your financial or tax advisor about your RMDs. It is really important to have your advisor review all of your retirement accounts to make sure you fulfill your RMD obligation. If you skip an RMD or withdraw less than what you should have, the IRS will find out and hit you with a stiff penalty - you will have to pay 50% of the amount not withdrawn.
Are RMDs taxable? Yes, the withdrawn amounts are characterized as taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code. Should you be wondering, excess RMD amounts can't be forwarded to apply toward next year's RMDs.
What if you don't need the money? If you are wealthy, you may view RMDs as an annual financial nuisance - but the withdrawal amounts may be redirected toward opportunities. While putting the money into a savings account or a CD is the usual route, there are other options with potentially better yields or objectives. That RMD amount could be used to ...
* Make a charitable gift. (With enough lead time, a charitable IRA rollover may be arranged; the IRA distribution meets the RMD requirement and isn't counted as taxable income).
* Start a grandchild's education fund.
* Fund a long term care insurance policy.
* Leverage your estate using life insurance.
* Diversify your portfolio through investment into stock market alternatives.
There are all kinds of things you could do with the money. The withdrawn funds could be linked to a new purpose.
So to recap, be vigilant and timely when it comes to calculating and making your RMD. Have a tax or financial professional help you, and have a conversation about the destiny of that money.

Former champ Fradd is back, but just for today
Former Hong Kong champion Robbie Fradd has had to make do with a lukewarm response as he makes a cameo reappearance at Sha Tin today with his best support from the David Hall stable.
Hall always supported Fradd well before the 1999-2000 champion departed to make his base in Singapore, where he is now firmly ensconced as one of the top riders.
And it is Hall who has given Fradd three of his seven rides today, and his best winning chance is the enigmatic Cheeky Lad (race two).
Cheeky Lad went poorly up the straight last time, but his run for second to Floral Joy II prior was good enough to win this race, and the way the gelding's form goes so regularly in and out these days he is probably due a good one.
Fradd also takes the rides aboard the Hall-trained Namjong Fighters (race seven) and Encosta Don (race eight).
The reason for Fradd's one-off appearance is the Dubai meeting, with Darren Beadman not returning for today's fixture, and Gerald Mosse and Brett Prebble taking a flight after the finish of racing at Nad al Sheba last night but unable to get back to Sha Tin until the second half of the card.
Prebble will be back in time for a small but select book in the last six events, with Lucky Money Star the overnight favourite for race five, Mission (race six), Brilliant Chapter (race seven) and Galen Win (race 11) all expected to be among the chances, while Fantastic Dancer has a knockout chance for the Australian in the CUHK Cup (race nine).

You Can't Judge an Artist by Their Looks
Friday night I emceed the Chris Young concert at Grand Casino Mille Lacs. As expected, Chris is a nice guy. Earlier last week I found another artist who is equally as nice, but you wouldn't expect him to be.
So I expect our country stars to be nice – it's just our thing in country music right? Chris Young didn't disappoint at all. He was very gracious to his fans as they all came through the meet and greet line. He was exceptionally kind to me as we were talking before I brought him on stage.
Now this doesn't surprise me. In fact, I can count on one hand the number of country stars that weren't very nice to their fans. For the most part, every single artist I have ever met have been gracious, accommodating, generous and kind. But that seems to be translating into other genres as well.
I enjoy many types of music from country to jazz, classical to rap, blues to rock – if it is good music, I love it. My nephew turned me on to a rap artist named Mac Miller. Last Monday, Mac was at the state fair and I wound up getting tickets for me and my nephew to attend the show. We wound up being able to go backstage and meet Mac.
This was a dream come true for my nephew and I have to admit, I was excited to meet Mac as well.
I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting Mac to be so gracious and kind. I guess there is a stereotype that rap stars are all hard core and aren't nice people. Let me tell you right now, that is far from true – at least with Mac Miller.
We got backstage and as soon as he walked in he started shaking our hands, asking our names and telling us how much he appreciated us being fans and supporting him. He autographed everything we could toss his way and spent nearly 20 minutes with us. I walked out of there with 150% more respect for him for being such a great guy.
My point here isn't to say, "Look at me and who I have met". My point here is to tell you that you can't judge a book – or artist – by their appearance or genre of music they are in. I expected Chris to be nice, but I didn't expect Mac to be as nice as he is. I look forward to seeing them both again soon!

Stephen's Massage Model
Here's the first part of the conclusion to the massage experience emailed by my reader:
'…………..Jeffery said it was now time to 'get to work' and that I should get onto the table. I climbed on, face down, adjusting my still erect cock between the table and my belly. I could feel the leaked pre-cum against my skin and tried to distract myself to avoid any premature ejaculation. It wasn't going to be easy and I realized that Jeffery's purpose was very much to assist Julia in learning techniques that would assist with these energies. I began to feel that I was also going to gain much benefit from Jeffery's instruction to Julia.
To be continued……………..'
As I settled myself on the massage table Jeffery asked whether I was comfortable. I was. I was lying on soft towels and my face was comfortably supported by an opening in the table enabling me to lie comfortably in a face down position. I found myself looking at the hardwood floor of my apartment lounge as I lay on the table.
Jeffery said that he would hand over the direction of the massage to Julia and he would guide her in methods that would fit with the spa's massage protocols and at the same time enable a relaxing massage. He said that the most common issue was working with clients who were sexually aroused throughout the massage. The rules didn't permit therapists to directly acknowledge or deliberately stimulate arousal but his experience was that nearly all males found the energy and context of the massage sensually arousing. That fact had to be accepted and in a way that allowed the client to relax and the therapist to feel comfortable.
He said that this was such a good opportunity to pass on to Julia the techniques that were working for him in a 'hands on' and 'explicit' style. He added that because I was so clearly aroused I was the ideal client model for these purposes. He said that Julia would role-play her position at work. He reminded that this would be more fun than at the spa because we were all working naked. Julia normally would not be nude for the massage. He joked that the concession was in lieu of overtime. Then he handed things over to Julia.
Julia began by whispering in my ear that she hoped that I was comfortable and that she would be covering me with a sheet. As she leaned over, close to the table to whisper I could see her bare feet beneath the table as I gazed at the floor. The image and her closeness had much to do with my continued arousal and I shifted on the table, feeling myself, again, close to ejaculation.
Julia sensed my tension and moved away to find the sheet and give me time to recover control.
She immediately returned and I felt the draft of the sheet as she spread it over me. Fully draped she began quickly stroking my body over the sheet and as she stroked she displaced the sheet, exposing me once again. I experienced a powerful sensual energy as the sheet moved against my body and as Julia allowed it to drift into the space between my thighs and finally over my feet.
Now that I was once again uncovered, Julia grasped both of my feet and opened my legs to the width of the table. The touch to my feet, and re-positioning of my legs, brief as it was, was again so stimulating. I was beginning to realize how erotically stimulating this entire process would be and how important it was for therapists to be able to work with these levels of energy.
I sensed that had Julia moved away. She quickly returned and I felt warm oil being drifted over my shoulders and back, followed by Julia's fingers confidently massaging muscles that I didn't know I had. She progressed toward my butt, spreading the oil as she massaged. By now I was struggling to remain aware and in control of myself but as she began to work my inner thighs I found myself shifting and lifting my hips causing Julia's fingers to momentarily touch my cock and balls.
At this point Julia said to Jeffery that she could now do with some help. My movement on the table was entirely common and very often the client would stretch out to touch her and try to encourage more intimate touch.
Julia's question was about how to keep things on track.
Jeffery moved over to Julia's side of the table and pushed down on my butt, pressing me to the table more firmly than Julia had done. When he released his pressure I found myself rising again from the table. Jeffery invited Julia to copy his move and this time I felt Julia push into my butt cheeks more firmly, returning me to more complete contact with the table. Of course I remained erect and aroused.
Jeffery said to Julia that the intent was always to find the balance between keeping the client comfortable and happy and keeping within the rules. He said the technique he uses at this point is to concentrate on each thigh, massaging the entire thigh in a hugging movement. To demonstrate he slipped his arm underneath my thigh and carefully pulled my leg into a position away from the table. The effect was to lift my hips and genital area from the table as he encircled my thigh with his arms.
As he used the pressure of his grip to knead my thigh he moved his arm grip so that his upper arm was closely pushed against my genitals and between my legs. So I experienced contact to my cock entirely in the context of the massage movement. Jeffery held this position for some time allowing me to enjoy the sensation of pushing my cock against his arm. He could feel my energy was getting close to ejaculation and released my leg, returning it to the table.
He asked Julia if she'd been able to observe and that the client – me – had been able to make sensual and intimate contact with the therapist as part of a legitimate massage technique. He said that on occasion the move proved too powerful for the client to resist ejaculation and that there had been many times when he withdrew with the clients release on his arm. The spa rules had no problem with this 'accidental' client release.
He suggested to Julia to use my other thigh to practice. She moved to the other side of the table and copied Jeffery's moves. Her grip and touch were different from Jeffery's but just as arousing. I think the difference in their height made a difference. Julia used more of her upper body in encircling and gripping my thigh. She was quite accurate in gauging when I was getting close to releasing and returned my leg to the table before I was tipped over the edge.
The massage continued with a combination of muscle and Swedish massage touch as she moved down my legs and toward my feet. The massage to my feet was as stimulating as any of the attention I'd received so far and by now it seemed that all touch had the effect of maintaining my arousal for the longest time.
The time came to turn over. Jeffery said to Julia that in these situations it was most common for the client to be aroused and he joked that I would certainly not be an exception. He said that as a male practitioner male clients were often concerned that their erection and energy would be an ambiguous indication of their sexual orientation. His rule was always to allow any male client to feel entirely comfortable about revealing their erection to another male. It was enough that throughout the massage they had enjoyed the genital contact which, by using the thigh grip technique allowed the client to create and develop the level of contact comfort that they preferred. Some clients were not experiencing the massage sensually. That was entirely good. At this time we were concentrating on the majority who did seek to enjoy the most complete touch that the rules might allow.
Julia said that also her male clients usually were hard when they turned over and that she felt that the erections were really related to responses to the touch and spa context rather than sexual orientation. She said that now that she had the thigh grip in her repertoire she would know more about the comfort levels of the client before turning them over.
I was still face down on the table during this conversation. I was in another world. I'd completely forgotten that I was actually in my own apartment. Looking back on this visit, the power of this physical and sensual energy seems so perfect. I felt so fortunate to meet Stephen, who shared so many of my interests and thoughts, in such a convenient and fun way. I couldn't have wished for a better neighbour.
So I turned over at Julia's direction. Of course, in the process I suddenly reverted to my self conscious self. It's so crazy because we'd all become very comfortable and I had spent the past hour being touched and massaged in the most intimate ways. As has happened on many occasions Stephen seemed to anticipate or notice my concern. As I turned my erection was very active and instinctively I moved my hand to cover myself. Quite absurd. Stephen joked to Jeffery and Julia that I would be a model client of propriety if I was at their spa. Julia responded that she loved seeing this – it showed that she was doing her job.
I looked around, enjoying being reminded that we were all naked and having fun, combined with some useful intent. I took a deep breath again and allowed my arousal to be free and settled on my back on the table. Julia propped my head with a pillow and I prepared for what I imagined would be the more complicated part of interpreting the spa rules.
The final massage description will follow.
More… 'Dinner with Stephen'
Dinner with Stephen – continued
Too long ago I received long and descriptive accounts of the experiences of a man who had been able to explore his sexuality with the help of a new-found neighbor. He met his neighbor, Stephen, when he had recently moved into an apartment in the Toronto area.
I posted the accounts on this site some time ago. After posting he sent me descriptions of further encounters which I set aside for later inclusion. Although much delayed, and after a recent reminder, I have finally managed to return to what has been sitting in my inbox for a long time.
If you've missed the previous posts and contexts, they appear later in this site. In the meantime here's the much delayed continuation. The account is long. The original was even longer!! I've ended this description approx. at the halfway point. He describes his meeting and the massage evening with Stephen's male colleague, Jeffery, and female assistant, Julia.
Later – to be posted soon – he describes the massage experience and some of the Tantric energies and practices that combined with it. His descriptions are fun to read and it does remind that there are so many exciting and healthful benefits to the many and varied aspects of Tantric practice.
Here's the account of the first part of his evening.
'……………She said this felt good and from my view I watched Stephen's cock and balls as he stood above us. The shampoo ended and Stephen slid back into the tub and Susan slid under the water, turning it soapy with the shampoo. Both Stephen and I could feel her sliding around between us and then she reappeared.
And there we sat, chest deep in soapy water.
We sat in this liquid silence for what seemed an eternity. But this wasn't an awkward silence. It was a silence of perfect communication. There seemed to be a feeling of complete connectedness and of a trust only possible through the common physical experiences that we'd risked throughout the evening.
We stayed on into the early hours, enjoying our newly discovered comfort.
The time did end, of course, and reluctantly I dragged myself down the hallway to my own apartment. But the connections that we'd made were particularly strong and we all knew that this was not to be a 'one night stand'.
This would not be our only encounter"………….'
My visits with Stephen had been nothing, if not intense. From his welcoming visit when I first moved in to the dinner down the hallway at his apartment, we had shared the most intimate of times even though we were initially strangers to each other.
After the dinner, where I was unexpectedly introduced to his friend, Susan, there was no longer any way that we could be described as 'strangers'. I had experienced the most erotic and personal encounter of my life and could live happily ever after just on the memory, alone.
As Stephen and Susan had implied, the dinner experience was not to be a 'one night stand'.
After that dinner, the next day as I left for work, I slipped a note of thanks under Stephen's door, inviting him and Susan to dinner at my place in the near future.
I didn't have to wait long for a reply. When I returned from work that evening I discovered a note from Stephen saying that he would love to visit. He said that Susan had called him to say that she'd had a wonderful time with both of us and looked forward to meeting up again when she returned from a month long business trip. So the next visit with Stephen would not include Susan, it seemed.
I called Stephen on his cell later that evening and invited him over at the weekend. The energy of the dinner encounter was still burning in me and I didn't want to let too much time pass. To my relief Stephen said that he was free on the Saturday. He said he hoped that I wouldn't mind but he had a couple of friends who would love to join us if I didn't mind adding to the invite. He would explain more on Saturday and not to do anything elaborate for food. Just snacks and drinks would be fine. So we were set.
I cleaned up the living room and laid out a selection of snacks and bottles and at around 5.00 p.m. on Saturday Stephen knocked on my door. It had only been a week since I'd seen him and despite the fact that we'd enjoyed a seeming lifetime of intimacy in the very few weeks since we first met, I still felt a little nervous in his company. Maybe it was his self confidence or his knowing smile. I felt supremely comfortable in his company and also more than a little willing to follow wherever he led me. In other words my feelings were pleasantly mixed.
Anyway he entered as soon as I opened the door and gave me a lingering hug. Kicking off his shoes, he apologized for not bringing a gift and said that he assumed I would have as much as we needed and he hadn't wanted to go to the store. I found myself thanking him for thinking of not buying anything. We noticed the absurdity of my thanks for nothing at the same time and that connection once again broke the ice.
We made our way into the living room and sat together on the couch.
A big part of our connection initially had been our shared interest in communal nudity and it had been my disclosure of my battles with self consciousness that had initially connected us. On Stephen's first visit I'd shown him my rather unique personal tattoos and we'd moved ahead from there.
In anticipation of this evening I'd been thinking how to respect and continue our shared interest without seeming too forward. I was anticipating hearing about the guests he'd invited and thought I should wait for Stephen's guidance before approaching the subject of whether we would be dining nude. At the same time I wanted to show him that I had been working on improving my personal comfort level with my tendency for self consciousness.
My compromise was to wear some old jeans – clean but ragged – and a casual shirt which was missing a few buttons. I hadn't bothered with underwear or socks. I thought the appearance casual and appropriate, reflecting a willingness to show something of myself without being coy or entirely undressed.
Stephen was wearing a sports shirt and slacks. He'd removed his sneakers at the door and, as ever, hadn't bothered with socks. Otherwise he certainly looked more smartly dressed and covered than me.
He put my mind at rest, joking and congratulating me on my open shirt and revealing rips on my jeans. The rips weren't too strategic and one tear had expanded, during the wash cycle, around the top of my thigh, which would have revealed my underwear, had I been wearing any. I realized that in certain positions I would be quite exposed, particularly if aroused. This thought immediately created a condition of arousal!! And I shifted on the couch, for some reason seeking to hide my erection from Stephen. He saw my discomfort and commented with a smile, that he thought we could admit to being mutual voyeurs and exhibitionists by now. Of course I couldn't disagree and adjusted my position to something more comfortable, albeit more revealing.
As we munched on cheese and chips Stephen told me about his guests, due to arrive later. Stephen works at a local hotel. He is friendly with the spa manage, Jeffery, it turned out. One of the perks of Stephen's job is a membership of the gym, use of the spa and pool and the occasional massage when time permits.
He said that while spa massage etiquette is very strict – Jeffery is a professional personal trainer and masseur – in his off-duty time he likes to experiment with more 'inventive or complete' techniques. Stephen said also that Jeffery was training a new therapist – Julia. Jeffery wanted an opportunity to share with Julia some techniques and approaches that normally weren't part of the spa's menu.
Stephen had told Jeffery something of our shared interest in social nudity and suggested that Jeffery bring over his portable massage table to my place one evening and offer some 'off the clock' massage training to Julia. In exchange for my hospitality I would get a massage and meet some new friends. That was Stephen's idea and he thought it unlikely that I would object. He said Jeffery would fill in more detail later. Was I OK with this?
I said that I sounded fine with me. If there was any problem we'd be able to discuss it with Jeffery later.
Stephen said that we could make room for the table set up before they arrived so we moved the coffee table and chairs so that there was room for the massage table to be set up.
Shortly after moving the furniture Jeffery and Julia buzzed the entrance intercom and made their way up to my apartment. I opened the front door and Stephen stepped into the hallway to direct them to my suite. Jeffery was carrying his folded table – looked like a large suitcase followed by Julia carrying a sports bag.
We showed them into the apartment and through to the living room and made the introductions. Jeffery was very much a 'people person'. Quite athletic in appearance. Not tall. Late thirties. Blond hair and a comfortable face. He was wearing a blue tracksuit outfit with the logo of the hotel. Julia was possibly in her mid twenties. Brown long hair and also seemingly quite athletic. Also wearing the hotel tracksuit.
I invited them to sit down and then realized we'd moved all the furniture. So we moved the chairs and table back and laid out the snacks again, explaining that we wanted to make room for the massage table. This all broke the ice and we got to talking.
Jeffery repeated what Stephen had described, but in more detail. He said that while he enjoyed his job at the spa, where he'd been for some years, there were aspects of policy that didn't always match with client expectations. In Julia's training he wanted to show her how to comfortably deal with non-policy situations and what to expect etc. He'd be more specific, later. He also said that he shared Stephen's interest in social nudity and shared sensual experience, and he understood that I also shared that interest. I said that he was correct and that Stephen had done much to improve my comfort levels in the short time that we'd known each other.
He invited Julia's thoughts after his brief introduction. She said that she'd worked as a gym manager in another city. She'd left the position after wanting a significant change of scene and city. I suspected it might have something to do with a personal relationship situation and of course we didn't want to ask for further explanation. She said that she was enjoying her time with the hotel and that she had found much in common with Jeffery's outlook. She said that she also shared our comfort with social nudity and was very comfortable with all expressions of sexuality and orientation. She was looking forward to the evening and thanked me for inviting everybody.
Jeffery went on to say that his plan was to set up the table and if I was agreeable they would use me as a massage model so that he could demonstrate to Julia some of the techniques that he couldn't present at the spa but that would be useful to her in her career. Also he said that he enjoyed practicing some techniques that weren't available at the spa. The massage and touch could be more intimate and complete at times and he hoped that was OK with me.
I reassured him that it sounded fine and Stephen joked that I owed him something, now. Jeffery said that we would likely switch at some point so that Stephen could enjoy some table time as well.
All this sounded good and Jeffery suggested that we set up the table so we moved the furniture yet again. The table easily unfolded and Julia produced some sheets and oils etc. from her sports bag. Soon we were all set.
Now I began to feel the familiar nerves at the prospect of getting naked around others. I'd experienced the same thing when Stephen had first visited and then again initially at the dinner. Of course I'd become comfortable quite quickly but still I had to tell myself again that this wasn't the time to be too self conscious.
Stephen quickly spotted my hesitation and immediately blew my cover. He joked that he'd discovered that I was a 'slow starter' when it came to undressing.
Before I could admit or deny, Jeffery said that it was entirely OK if I'd like them to use a sheet to cover me. They could just expose the parts that they were massaging. I quickly said that wouldn't be necessary and I was inwardly kicking myself for falling again into the same hesitations.
Of course Stephen was enjoying his usual mischievous sense of humor and Jeffery saw that. I guess he'd learned Stephen's personality in the course of their work at the hotel.
So Jeffery rescued me, asking if he and Julia could get ready now to begin the massage. I said that I was ready whenever they were. Jeffery said that given our common interest and comfort with social nudity he'd be quite comfortable leading the massage naked if that was something we could all enjoy. I began to feel that I had unintentionally raised a non-existent issue and took the opportunity to say that I thought that would be a great idea.
With that Jeffery unzipped his tracksuit top, took it off and removed the singlet that he was wearing underneath. He was a good looking guy by any standard. Not overly developed but in good shape, reflecting his occupation. He bent down to remove his socks – he'd removed his sneakers when he arrived – and stepped out of his track suit pants. All that remained were his briefs and as he stood there I realized these weren't the usual jockeys but were actually closer to female panties.
I didn't get the impression this was a surprise to Stephen or Julia but clearly my gaze lingered longer than theirs. Jeffery was completely unfazed and said that he had always enjoyed the experience of some elements of cross dressing. He said it was his little harmless secret. That Stephen had told him of my tattoos which might be an equivalent sort of secret. That he was looking forward to seeing them for himself.
The panties barely contained his genitals and the outline of his cock showed that he was quite aroused.
Without much further delay he took off the panties revealing his fully erect cock. I always experience an incredible energy surge in these situations and this was no different. Jeffery looked like everybody's dream for a personal trainer. His body was lean and smooth and his shaved genital region made his arousal looked so inviting. My own erection seemed to be struggling to fight its way out via the rip in my jeans.
Of course Jeffery saw the effect he was having and said that he'd been looking forward to this evening and he hoped that it was OK to share this energy as openly as Stephen had suggested we could. As usual I burbled something about also looking forward to enjoying the time. Jeffery said that he always wished the hotel spa would allow nudity in its facility but the rules were very strict.
He said that in massage situations and in the sauna people often became aroused and it was often tempting to assist them to enjoy the sexual energy. However, while never making them feel awkward he said that he used techniques to try to help them refocus. He wanted to show Julia some of these techniques so that she would be able to always be comfortable helping guests stay within the hotel spa rules. That was another reason why this evening would be interesting.
As he spoke his erection subsided but the charged energy in the room certainly remained.
Stephen and Julia had remained quiet during Jeffery's undressing and comments. When he ended he turned to Julia and invited her thoughts pointing out to Stephen and me that they had been enjoying a good working relationship now, for a few months and had shared plenty of personal secrets including his cross dressing secret. He said that actually Julia had lent him the panties for tonight.
Julia nodded and joked that it seemed like he wouldn't be needing them again at the moment. She said that this was also an exciting evening for her. Jeffery had described some of the ways that she could handle massage spa clients who were hoping for touch that the hotel didn't permit. She said that it was quite a common situation and that there were ways to work around the issue while keeping the client friendly and wanting to return. She thanked me for volunteering to be a subject that she could practice on and she thanked Jeffery for being an understanding, if unconventional boss. She added that it was even more fun to be able to enjoy the practice, naked. With that she unzipped and discarded the tracksuit top revealing a black sports bra. As Jeffery had, she'd taken off her sneakers at the door so only had to remove her socks and drop the tracksuit pants. She looked a model of fitness, the sports bra matching the black bikini panties that she was wearing.
Again I was struggling to contain myself. Jeffery's naked form was sufficiently stimulating, of course, and I could certainly experience the additional energy that Julia was contributing. Quickly enough Julia unhooked her bra and slipped off the briefs. Now naked, she was a great match for Jeffery. Clearly they were a credit to any sports spa. Julia was as well toned as Jeffery. Her breasts didn't really need the support of any bra. I'd told Stephen previously that I've always had a fascination with breasts, both male and female and I noticed him smiling at me as Julia revealed herself. Julia's breasts and nipples seemed like magnets to my eyes at the time.
Her entire body was perfectly proportioned and on the petite side. Like Jeffery – and Stephen and me, actually – her pubic area was shaved. I noticed that her labia were particularly visible and the energy seemed to say that she was very comfortable and happy with her body.
So that completed the disrobing of my guests and Stephen, who had remained uncharacteristically quiet, observed that maybe we were being a little slow in getting naked. That he had told Jeffery and Julia about my tattoos and he was sure they wanted to see them. Julia echoed this and said now was my time to 'reveal all'.
I was still very much aroused and a little nervous but now was the time and I dropped my jeans and discarded the shirt almost in one movement. My cock popped up immediately and I absorbed the energy of the visual exploration of my now naked form. I was a little conscious that I could easily afford to lose a few pounds, comparing myself to the lean and athletic forms of Jeffery and Julia. The tattoo on my upper thigh was now clearly visible as was the unnamed creature tattooed on my chest, who spent his life gazing at my nipple.
It was Julia who spoke, saying that she was looking forward to stroking these creatures in the massage. She looked at my erect penis. I knew that I was leaking at the tip and Julia wasn't shy in noticing and commenting. She said that it was always gratifying to see evidence of appreciation. 'Keep it up' she said with a smile.
Stephen told her that she should look on my reverse side – the picture tattoo on my butt cheek. She and Jeffery moved behind me to take a look. Jeffery said that this had to be a uniquely artistic creation.
My erection was still maintaining as they came back to face me and I saw Stephen undressing behind them. As ever he looked a picture of comfort, his own arousal clear for us all to appreciate.
I was reminded a little of the energy that I'd experienced at dinner the previous week at Stephen's when Susan had been with us. Julia's energy seemed not unlike Susan's although Susan is very much a ladies lady.
It also reminded me that since meeting Stephen I had been unbelievably fortunate in becoming part of a social lifestyle that enabled me to spend time with wonderful people who enjoyed being naked and open about their sexuality.
Jeffery said it was now time to 'get to work' and that I should get onto the table. I climbed on, face down, adjusting my still erect cock between the table and my belly. I could feel the leaked pre-cum against my skin and tried to distract myself to avoid any premature ejaculation. It wasn't going to be easy and I realized that Jeffery's purpose was very much to assist Julia in learning techniques that would assist with these energies. I began to feel that I was also going to gain much benefit from Jeffery's instruction to Julia.
