Humiliation of an ex-Nazi submissive 81: Raylene fetches the cane, I fetch her sister 2
Posted on March 30, 2016 by jaime
I pushed Bellie's room door, slowly so she had time to say "go away" and stop doing anything embarrassing. But when it swung open for me, she was still asleep.
Dorabella snored lightly and not unappealingly. On top of the covers. Naked. She'd fallen asleep on her arm, her hand close to touching her cunt. At some stage in the night, possibly in homage to the animal noises Raylene and I were making in the next room, Bellie had masturbated until she could sleep.
She looked beautiful, of course, but she wouldn't want me to find her like that. On the other hand, it was my duty to wake her up. Her sheet and two pillows were on the floor. I picked up the sheet and draped it, very carefully, over her. But I wasn't careful enough. Bellie spun onto her back, hair all over her face and said, "Whuh?"
I shrugged my shoulders by way of apology, and she said, more calmly, "Oh. Oh, good morning… Unh." She rubbed her face and pushed her hair back out of her eyes. "Oh Christ." Then she went through a series of micro expressions, similar to those Raylene had demonstrated just a few minutes before. Except that Bellie's ended with a mischievous grin, with some malice in it, before it broadened into an open-mouthed grin. "You want me to get Lynette. To watch while you cane Raylene."
"Um. Yeah. You know why." There was noise from the bathroom. Raylene was taking a shower. I hadn't given her permission, but it was probably a good idea.
"Yes, but I'm surprised you do." Bellie looked down at her breasts, or she was just stretching her neck. She looked back up at me. "You figured her out fucking quickly. Or this bit about her, anyway. She's going to do her best to look sorry. And she'll be loving it." She smiled up at me, and moved to one side of the bed, by way of invitation.
So I sat beside her, one foot on the bed and one dutifully on the floor. "Well, you know I wouldn't do it if I thought she was going to hate it. And, well, she didn't run up the stairs when you guys turned up. That's, um, meaningful."
Bellie sat up straight. The sheet fell away from her breasts. I tried not to look. I'd seen her breasts before. She put her arm around me and smiled, and I did what that gesture demanded and kissed her. Her mouth smelled of almonds. Her body was warm, and smelled of bready womanhood.
I cupped her left breast in my hand. So I'd lost all the points I'd given myself for not looking. My fingertips pressed and released her nipple but didn't pinch.
She didn't move for a long time, knowing I'd keep stroking her. She said, "Oooooo-wah." so that was still right. There are things you don't forget.
Bellie breathed out at last. "You are going to fuck me, aren't you?"
I wanted to ask why it was important to her now, when I'd wanted her years ago and she'd ended it: no more Dorabella for me. But it would be an impolite question, because I could guess most of the answer. So I said, "I'm definitely not going to fuck you tonight."

Humiliation of an ex-Nazi submissive 80: Raylene fetches the cane, I fetch her sister
Morning hair. Morning, Raylene!
I faced Raylene over her pillows. I didn't mind waking up next to her. She stirred, looked at me and smiled. So apparently I was good news too.
I watched her face, and in a few seconds I saw it: the moment when she remembered she was going to go down in a tee-shirt to the bamboo grove at rear of the church.
She'd cut and fetch me two new bamboo canes, and then hold still for me while I tested both canes across her ass. Possibly with Lynette watching. The micro-expressions went: puzzlement, then alarm, then amusement at me, and the thought that it might be an adventure: a kind of happiness. She laughed, very low. "Oh, you're really going to go through with this?"
I kissed her nose. She smelled of sex: cunt, come and sweat. We were both wearing each other's fluids: we'd got us all over us. The whole room smelt of our fucking, probably. "You've got lovely eyes. I don't know if I mentioned that. And a great ass."
"I remember hearing something about my ass. Not my eyes though."
Underdressed woman at church. (Actually it's Laura Lush, bass-player with Get Shot, outside the Westborough Baptist Church.)
"Yeah. You're going to get your ass into a tee-shirt, soon. And you're going to cut two canes for me to use on you. Remember?"
She did the face of a waiter remembering an order. "One thick, one skinny. The Laurel and Hardy of canes." – I laughed at that – "And me at your mercy. All vulnerable. And Lynette maybe watching."
"Ah fuck. You're a fucking pervert, you know."
I kissed her forehead, nose and cheek this time. "So true. You'd better get started."
"Toilet. Clean teeth." She pushed the sheets and blankets aside.
"Little teeshirt and nothing else. Yeah."
Raylene, naked, ass still showing signs of my mistreatment, and smelling of fucking, got out of bed. She selected a tee-shirt with the pre-revision table of elements across her breasts. It reached about twelve centimetres down her thighs. She'd be at risk of flashing her cunt at the church-goers with every step she'd take.
I watched her walk out. Cotton clung to her ass as she moved.
She might well cause heart attacks among the old men waiting for the church to open. But they'd die happy.
I rolled out of the bed myself, and put on Raylene's robe. Pink dragons, I was wearing. I took them into Bellie's room.

Humiliation of an ex-Nazi submissive 79: Raylene's caning – how many witnesses 3
Raylene had accepted the idea that she was going to flash a bunch of churchgoers in the morning, embarrass herself with Bellie and Lynette in the kitchen, and then come back with the canes she'd just cut so I could use them across her ass. That's a lot to accept, but she had no complaints.
I kissed her, and let my fingers trail down the gap between her buttocks, pressing briefly against her asshole so she knew I hadn't forgotten it, but then trailing down to her cunt. She was enthusiastically wet, soaking and leaking. I stroked her. She said, "fuuuuck", and her ass rose and fell, rubbing herself against my fingers.
The fuck. You doing. In my fucking bedroom?
I stroked her, and started planning. When she went to cut and fetch her canes, I'd have to wake Bellie up and tell her the show would be in half an hour's time. I'd tell Bellie that I'd meant it when I said Lynette could come up and watch.
Lynette's invitation would be better coming from Bellie than from me. I'd be of out luck with anything I wanted to suggest to Lynette, from the moment I walked into her bedroom uninvited.
Raylene's moans became shorter and high pitched. I rolled her over, onto her back. And rolled my body onto hers.
I thought that I hadn't fancied or liked Lynette much, so far. Still she had a kind of gamine prettiness, and there isn't enough of that in the world. Anyway, if she came to watch me cane Raylene that'd be entirely up to her.
I wondered if she would. When she'd arrived with Bellie, and I was strapping Raylene's ass on the stairs, she'd shown a certain interest – more than is strictly polite – in seeing Raylene naked. Maybe she'd tell herself that she should be there to make sure I wasn't too cruel.
I took her wrists and pushed them over her head while I entered her. She raised her thighs to welcome me, and I knew I'd come in her too soon, no matter what I did.
I smacked her wrists, meaning she wasn't to move them, and grabbed her ass, holding tight and fucking her hard and fast, selfishly. Embrace the danger. Also the woman.
From my point of view, Lynette's and Bellie's presence would mainly be a way of giving Raylene the mild humiliation she so obviously liked. I said, "Sorry girl, I'm going to come, any second."
Raylene had her mouth open and her eyes closed. She was intently getting fucked. She said, "nnnnnnnn", which I decided to take as positive, whatever it specifically meant.
Then it was as though energy and sensation flowed from every part of my body into my cock, and I shouted, "ahh", loud enough to wake Bellie, also the dead, and came. Still shouting like an idiot.
Speaking of idiocy, I was sure I was going to flirt with Bellie more, today. But I wondered what would happen if, in the middle of caning Raylene, I kissed Lynette.

"Raylene, in the morning I want you to get up. You can put on a tee-shirt. Nothing else, so I'd suggest you choose it carefully. And go to the bamboo clump next door."
"That's the church! There'll be old ladies there. And old men."
I'd forgotten it was Saturday night. On a Sunday morning there'd be more people about a church than usual.
I stayed unsympathetic. "So you'll have to be careful, won't you? Especially if you bend over. Um. Or crouch. Or step over something."
"Or … move, really." Raylene was shocked, I think. But it didn't last. As she always did, she started to think of ways to make it sexy. She watched me like a puppy watching a human about to throw a ball.
"You'll cut two pieces of bamboo. Each one a bit longer than your arm. One will be thin and whippy; the other will be thick. Understood?"
"Jee-suss." This time I didn't deal in warnings. I smacked the undercurve of her bottom, getting a good, ringing pistol-shot sound.
"Yes, Sir!"
I smacked her again, and wondered if I'd imagined the noise from the next room: Bellie turning over in bed? I'd have to keep it down. But I said, "That's better. Good girl."
Raylene reached behind her back to stroke my cock. I was enjoying being cruel, as she'd expected. "Am I?" But she looked pleased to be told it.
"You'll bring them back to the house. If you see Bellie or Lynette in the kitchen you'll explain that you're going to be caned for being rude at dinner."
"I tell her?"
"Yeah. You don't get to be rude to people. Not without consequences, from now on, Raylene. If you're ashamed of getting the cane, well, so you should be."
"What about Bellie?"
"You weren't rude to her, were you?"
"Um. I s'pose not." She frowned.
"Anyway, you'll tell whoever you see what they're going to be used for."
"All the old men? They'd have heart attacks!"
I smacked her bottom again. Quiet enough for Bellie to sleep through, I hoped. "Whoever you see in the kitchen, not the … parishioners. Or whatever they're called."
Raylene begins to realise that I didn't actually, completely, mind being put to the trouble of humiliating her.
Raylene held my cock tight and ran her fingers slowly up and down the shaft. I was sensitive to her every movement, and releasing pre-come.
She said, "God, Jaime, this is so … This is …"
She meant 'humiliating', I guessed. But she wasn't going to say it.
"Then you'll come up the stairs. I'll be here. You'll hand over the cane and ask me to punish you. Then you'll do as you're told while I cane you. You'll not be sitting down for a while. And you'll have learned not to be rude to guests."
Raylene nodded, and stroked her fingers along my cock. This was sex, and she'd let herself be picked up in the current and float along. "I really have to say sorry to Lynette? After?"
"Oh, you can apologise at the time. I've already told Bellie that she's invited to come and watch."

Humiliation of an ex-Nazi submissive 77: Raylene's caning – how many witnesses?
But you can't kiss ironically. My position, leaning over Raylene's back to kiss her neck, brought my cock back into firm contact with her ass. A man can't have a discussion like the one Raylene had raised, about a threesome with her and her sister, without his cock getting hard and extremely sensitive to girlskin. Not a man who likes women.
So my cock pressed against her ass, and her ass was firm and still warm from the razor strop. I sighed and pushed harder, just for the sensation of it.
Raylene pushed back at me, and I saw her smile. I'd tried to be blasé about her offer, as though a threesome with her and her sister Dorabella – "Bellie" – was the sort of thing I could take or leave. The condition of my cock gave that away.
I thought some unimportant things. Bellie must have talked about me when she'd asked Raylene to let me interview her about life in a neo-Nazi gang. And Raylene had just told me with absolute confidence that Bellie wanted to fuck me. So they'd discussed some things about me. Maybe they'd already discussed this threesome, though it felt like it was just Raylene's idea.
Raylene rolled over and wiggled against my cock, reminding me that there was already one gorgeous girl in bed with me, and it was time she was fucked. She was feeling cheerful. I don't know why I felt the need to strip away the power she'd just taken, but it seemed necessary for both of us. So I said, "What about Lynette? Do you fancy her?"
"What, for a foursome? I don't know if she'd want that."
I put my hand onto her lower buttocks, and smacked very lightly. A warning. "I asked, do you fancy her?"
"Mmm. I don't know. She's pretty. But I don't know her very well."
"You were very rude to her at dinner."
Raylene grinned happily. It was hard not to smile with her. But I didn't. "Well, she's so easy to wind up. I was just teasing her. A bit."
"You were rude." I switched to my dom voice, not loud, but with grit in it. "While you 're under my authority. I expected you to behave yourself."
Raylene looked surprised, then her face cleared. She'd expected the threesome possibility would have kept my mind occupied. But she knew where my topic was leading, or she thought she did. She glanced at the razor strop and then watched my eyes, trying to look solemn.
"Yes, Sir, I was very rude. I'm sorry." It was a parody of being sorry. But I nodded. And let her wait. She smiled appealingly. "Sir. Are you going to strap me?"
"No." Raylene looked puzzled. And disappointed. I said, "Rude girls get the cane."
She frowned. The cane was a surprise. She'd probably heard things about the cane. I confirmed them. "Because it hurts more, and it's going to mark you longer. You'll be able to look at your ass in the mirror and remember not to be a rude little brat."
Raylene looked down, then, at the sheet below her pillow. She wanted me to think she was sorry. Or perhaps she was.
At least she hadn't claimed that she wasn't a brat. If she'd been thinking of it, I didn't give her time. "So in the morning, Raylene. I'm going to cane you."
She must have been expecting that, but when it's clearly said it still has an impact. Her mouth dropped open. "Oh. Oh god."

By request: A Keith Emerson (with ELP) introductory guide
Where to start: an ELP New Listener's Guide
1 Don't start here
The music is was bad as its cover. Not entirely their fault. Atlantic Records insisted on the title and the photo. But the music is just awful.
Let's begin with where not to start. Don't start with Works 1 or Works 2. There's some good stuff there but it's slim pickings.
Forget Love Beach; it's as awful as its cover suggests. They were forced to record it by the record company at the end of a tour. They had nothing, and they were exhausted.
You could listen to Black Moon some time, because it's got three good tracks on it. But it's far from essential.
It really doesn't sound like ELP, and nothing I've said about why they're good applies to it. It's pop music because their record company needed a hit. They dutifully released two singles, neither of which were hits. For addicts only.
Their final studio album, In the Hot Seat, competes with Love Beach for worst ELP abomination. (Though the Dylan cover version, "The Man in the Long, Black Coat", is a cracker.)
2 Songs to start with, to see if you like the taste
i "Lucky Man", from the Emerson, Lake & Palmer album. Famous for including the first rock Moog solo, courtesy of Emerson, on record. (Tagged on at the end because Emerson was in the pub while Lake turned a simple ballad he'd written as a kid into something with real studio heft.) It's still their most popular song.
ii "From the Beginning", from Trilogy. Another pretty Greg Lake song, this time about fucking up relationships. This time, Emerson's participation is more integrated into the song.
This made artist HR Giger a superstar, and probably helped him get the gig for designing "Alien". The album title refers to fellatio, and so does a detail in the artwork, only half airbrushed away from the women's neck
iii Toccata, from Brain Salad Surgery. Now we're jumping into the deep end. This is Emerson's arrangement of the fourth movement of Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera's Piano Concerto No 1. It aint that pretty at all.
After ELP had recorded their version, they went, nervous as hell, to Ginastera's place in France and played it to him. Like Aaron Copeland, who loved ELP's arrangement of Hoe-Down and Fanfare for the Common Man, he…
Well, Ginastera listened to their version, then threw his arms up and said it was "terrible". Emerson was crest-fallen. Then Ginastera explained he meant "terrible" in French, as in "amazing, fantastic, formidable", and so on. It is, indeed, terrific.
If unusual time signatures are your thing, this is orgasm central. It switches times at the turn of a dime and the drop of a hat. Even if the word "time signatures" means nothing to you, it's exciting as hell. Fuck, it's fast.
iv The Barbarian, from Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Basically an arrangement of Bartok's Allegro Barbare, this is much simpler than Toccata. But it keeps the Bartok spikiness, the European folksong origin, and then it just charges forward. I believe the Foo Fighters drummer once said he spend much of his adolescence listening to this, over and over. It always cheers me up, every time.
v The Endless Enigma, from Trilogy. Yeah, it's prog, so its nearly 11 minutes long, divided into two parts, with a middle section called Fugue. But it's seriously good instrumental work between the three of them, and a strong vocal from Lake. It has lyrics that sound ok, line by line, and don't make any sense at all. But at that stage Lake's voice could sell anything. Anyway, it's the music that counts.
vi Take a Pebble, from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. This would have been a higher recommendation, but it's in a similar mood to the first two numbers. It's Lake's composition, but the long piano solo by Emerson, and his in-fills, are amazing. So are the opening notes, which Emerson got by taking the back off a piano and plucking the strings like a harp. I also recommend the expanded version on Welcome Back.
vii Tarkus, from Tarkus. Actually, I think this is their best piece, and maybe the most high-energy twenty-odd minutes of music by anyone. It's just not where I'd start someone. Again, the version on Welcome Back is also highly recommended.
viii Jerusalem, from Brain Salad Surgery. It's that song. They play it, Lake sings it. The BBC banned it, for some reason. It's pomp rock at its finest. It's brilliant.
The inside image on the Brain Salad Surgery cover. Same model: Giger's partner, the late Li Tobler.
ix Karn Evil 9, Parts 1, 2 and 3. I have a copy of Brain Salad Surgery on vinyl. Karn Evil 9 starts on side 1. You have to turn the record over halfway through Part 1, and the rest of it takes up the whole of side 2.
Contains the "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends…" line.
I'm also fond of:
"Not content with that, With our hands behind our back, We pull Jesus from a hat: Get into that! Get into that!" They dropped those lines from most performances after they got Big in America.
The music of Part 1 is pretty much straight-ahead rock, only faster. But it's great. Come inside! Part 2 is instrumental, with high-speed silly noises from Emerson (that's praise), and synthesised percussion from Carl Palmer. Part 3 is science fiction: a battle between two space fleets is won when one side destroys the other, and is in turn destroyed by their unimpressed ship's computers. Lots of synthesiser and Moog, some great guitar and singing from Lake. And silly lyrics.
x The Great Gates of Kiev.
That's the last section of their version of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. It's fast, it's big and it's grand. Death is not life, by the way, As Any Fule Kno. But when Lake sings the opposite, you can find yourself momentarily convinced.
If I were going to own just one ELP album, it would be that live triple, Welcome Back My Friends. It's only a double in CD form, or a few hundred megabytes in digital form. It has storming live versions of most of the above.
Its full title, by the way, is Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends; Ladies and Gentlemen, Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I believe it's still the longest record title ever. They did it as a typesetter's joke. They knew it'd get into the Top 10, and they also knew that there was no way of fitting that title into the little grids that the music press used to list the charting albums.
After that I'd buy Tarkus, then the first album (called Emerson, Lake & Palmer), then Brain Salad Surgery, then Trilogy, then Pictures at an Exhibition.
Amazing sex fun fact!
Lightly furred redhead, interested in the "Variation" aspect of that weird shit on the audio. And demonstrating Emerson's Famous Mullet haircut. Not the actual girl in the anecdote left of this photo, though she was a redhead too.
I lost my virginity to Pictures at an Exhibition. I doubt if there's many people can say that, since ELP's music, for all its merits, was notoriously not sexy. I was giving it a listen when a girl who'd been teaching me how to kiss dropped by. I made her a cup of tea; she brought out some hash.
I started taking her clothes off. She didn't stop me. "Oh," I thought. "Oh, oh, I see."
"Promenade", indeed. Though you can really go at it during the "Blues Variation" interlude. I could make a "Great Gates of Kiev" joke, but that'd be ungentlemanly, also completely untrue.
I'd have put something else on if I'd known she was coming. But once she'd arrived I was distracted.
Anyway, you know who you are. I still think you're wonderful. Also, thank you!
Keith Emerson black armband
Keith Emerson shot himself. Bugger.
There are some things I've only got hindsight on. But I know that if I'd been watching at the time, I'd have got it wrong. When Led Zeppelin broke up, I'd have expected a constant flow of great new music from Jimmy Page, and Plant and Jones to fade into obscurity.
But instead we got Plant casually stepping over the self-parody trap as if it were a puddle, and Jones working with brilliant musicians including Robert Fripp to make vital if not exactly best-selling new music. While Page prepared yet another re-mastered re-release of the Led Zepp catalogue.
Palmer, Lake & Emerson, in this photo. They were pretty lads in their day, but they never really got the female fans.
Another thing I'd have expected is that together or apart, the members of Emerson, Lake and Palmer would be making brilliant new music, lots of it, to the present day. Or till about a week ago, when Keith Emerson shot himself. Given the talent that was packed into that trio, many fans, including me, were surprised there wasn't more music.
Still, the power and passion and aggression of the first five ELP albums is unique. There's nothing like it in rock, prog rock, or classical. Or heavy metal, though speed metal is probably the genre that comes closest to one of the things ELP were doing. Except that ELP were doing everything else, from classical to jazz, to ambient, to rag-time and boogie-woogie, to blues and hard rock, and sensitive singer-songwriter ballads, you name it, as well.
Emerson riding and stabbing a Hammond organ, Osaka, 1972. He could get notes from doing that, using feedback. And knives. He got the knife from Lemmy, who was Emo's roadie and not yet "Lemmy of Moorhead". Lemmy died this year, too.
I also liked the massive critical hate for ELP. With the advent of punk, critics managed to persuade the world that ELP were ridiculous musos doing triple live albums, putting out pieces of music more than half an hour long and broken up into sections. All of which was true, except it wasn't ridiculous. They had guts, and they took risks no band would take today. Carl Palmer said they were "a sabre-rattling band", and he was right.
One of the reasons I enjoyed the critical contempt for a band I only discovered after it had wound up was that it gave me a shameful secret that wasn't about bdsm. I could say, "I'm into bdsm! I get off on telling women what to do and whipping them!" And that still wouldn't have the shock effect in polite society as, "ELP are, seriously, up there with Led Zep! One of the five best bands that ever played!"
Emerson conducting his own music in the 2010s. Its not often you see a shot of Emo near a flat surface that doesn't have a drink on it. I'm not sure which orchestra that is.
Although Emerson was 71, he still owed the world his Piano Concerto No 2. I've heard he had a worsening of his carpal tunnel problem and couldn't play, and that's why he shot himself. I wished he'd stayed. He could have composed and got someone else to play it. He was very kind and encouraging to young musicians like Rachel Flowers, and I wish he'd composed and let them play.
I heard that Emerson and Lake wrote some music together when they were preparing to go out on the Manticore Tour in 2010. I hope Greg Lake finishes that and shapes it into songs for one final album. But – though I also admire Lake – I'm not holding my breath.
But I'm too grateful for what Emerson left us to be complaining. Anyway, Keith Emerson is dead. Bugger.
So if ELP are such an eclectic band, you say, they must have done a song about bdsm while they were rambling about from genre to genre. Why yes, I reply, they did: "So Far to Fall", in 1975.
Sample lyric:
"Ooh she had me, she had me running rings around the floor.
She had me nailed to a door, she had me crying out,
she had me crying out for more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
She bad me, she tied me up in knots like a piece of a string,
she did a thing to my thing, she did a thing to my thing
like it's never been done before."
Humiliation of an ex-Nazi submissive #76: One, two, threesome foreshadowing
Raylene and I had the talk, then, with her lying on her front with my hand on her ass, and me on my side facing her. We agreed that the nature of our relationship seemed to be that I belted her arse, for good reasons or for no reason at all except sex, and she did as she was told.
If she didn't do as she was told, she'd get one of those punishments that have reasons and lectures attached to them. She agreed that if that happened she'd deserve it. Well, she said she agreed, which is what keeps things going.
Really, we both just meant that life was sexier that way. We liked the sex we were having, and the roles we'd fallen into, and we liked each other. So we'd carry on together. Her sister's old boyfriend (I'd only been a one night stand, but that wasn't my fault) was now her boyfriend. I did know that counted, with both Raylene and Dorabella. I just didn't know how much.
Anyway, I didn't open up the topic of sisterly rivalry, and carried on with the BDSM Talk. If, I said, I told her to do something she didn't think was sensible, or she'd really hate, or if she thought a punishment was unreasonable, then she could say, "Time out, please, sir", and that meant we could step out of roles and discuss what was going on.
Then I said, "You know what safe words are, don't you?" She nodded. "Well, your safe words are 'yellow' and 'red'". Raylene had heard all that before, and though I think she was pleased to find herself in a relationship where those rules actually applied, she didn't find them scary. Or exciting. It was just how it was. So she agreed, and fell silent.
I smacked her arse, because it's rewarding in its own right, sensually, and because it would probably lead us, soon enough, into another fuck. I'd be rougher this time, and I'd hurt her. But Raylene said, "You were ages coming to bed."
"True. Sorry 'bout that."
Yeah, here's the bit from volume 4 that shouldn't be on-line any longer.
Humiliation of an ex-Nazi submissive 75: Under new management
Raylene lay underneath me, head turned to watch me. I'd slid partly to her left, so most of my weight was taken by the bed but our bodies were still touching. She was thinking. So was I. I'd been gentle during that last fuck, and she hadn't come as hard as she had previously. I could allow for her being tired, but it was still useful information.
I kissed her right nipple. Raylene watched, still. "Sir?"
"Girl? Raylene?"
"Do you want to bite me?" I bit her nipple, then turned my head so that the nipple was grazed lightly as it moved along my teeth. "Mmm. You should."
"Bite your nipples more?"
"Yes. I mean no." She shook her head. "I meant, you should do whatever you like. You should take what you want. I like it when you do that."
I bit her nipple harder, to make her wince. She liked that, her face said. Why had it taken me so long to work that out?
I had a couple of pairs of clamps, for the nipples of bad and lusty girls, but they were at home. Well, in the meantime I'd bite her more. I said, "I've taken you. You belong to me."
She looked at me intently. "You own me now." There was something fierce in her voice. "Like you own a laptop. Or a table. As property."
I nodded, as if I thought that was only natural, and no large thing. She didn't want my gentleness, and she wouldn't want my awe at her gift, nor my gratitude. "Yeah. I do."
I put my hand on her lower belly, and my fingers in her cunt. Raylene opened her mouth to breathe, but otherwise kept still.
"Whose cunt is this?"
"Yours, sir. It belongs to you."
I smiled at her, because her acquiescence was sexy. I could have gone through that catechism with her asshole, that I hadn't yet fucked, and her mouth, that I had. And then repeating with her breasts, and her belly, her legs and her back, until we'd specified that every part of her body was under new ownership.
But there were aspects of her submission to me that worried me. She'd given it too easily, and she'd set no conditions, done nothing to protect her interests in her last minute before she became property. She had once shown a taste for authoritarian politics. That wasn't a place I wanted to bring her back to.
Still, I said, firmly, "Good girl." Raylene smiled. "My girl." The smile became toothy. She was happy to be mine. I was happy about that too. "Then we have some things to talk about."

COUNTDOWN TO GRAPEMO 2013: CHALLENGE YOURSELF!
It's hard to believe it's that time again! GRAPEMO--a month-long writing challenge for writers at every level--begins on Friday, February 1st. Absolutely everyone is welcome--we've had some great successes here in the past--and you don't need to belong to Livejournal to participate.
1. One full month of writing/revising/editing/outlining/world-building/illustrating/and/or anything else you need to accomplish.
2. Runs from February 1st through February 28th.
3. An exercise in discipline without the mandatory word count of NaNoWriMo.
2. A month-long life destroyer.
3. Goals set in stone.
4. Ever, ever a waste of time!
All you need is a PERSONAL WRITING GOAL (PWG): This can be anything you want it to be. A certain number of words to either a brand new story or something you're already working on. Finishing up a current project. Revisions or edits. A short story, a synopsis, an outline, or even a legible query letter. It's whatever you want it to be—and the best thing is, as time marches on and you realize there's no way you're going to reach your original goal (life, as we know it, often gets in our way), then feel free to change it. All I want is for you to be actively working on something, for 4 weeks, with a solid plan to achieve a realistic goal.
The first thing you need to do, if you want to join in, is to send me a PM here on LJ or else e-mail me at sassenach43 at aol dot com, and let me know. I'll be posting participants' names and adding to the list on a regular basis.
Then, sometime between today and January 30th, please send me (same as above) your PWG. PLEASE be sure to write "PWG" in the subject heading so I don't miss it. On January 31st I'll post the complete list here of all participants and their PWGs. Once GRAPEMO starts, on Mondays I'll be posting everyone's weekly update (think progress reports) so we can all see how we're progressing. If you need to revise your goal, let me know at that time.
1. Email or PM (LJ users) these to me over the weekends. Again, put PWG or "update" or something else in the subject heading. Tell me how you're doing!
2. Please try to get these in by Sunday night so I can post them in a timely manner.
3. Important: Please do NOT post your updates in the comment sections of posts.
* THIS is my favorite part! In fact, even though this is not a contest by any stretch of the imagination, I usually bestow lovely prizes (names drawn at random) on unsuspecting participants. This year, each time you send me a "teaser" of your current project, you'll automatically be entered into the drawing. One teaser, one chance…five teasers, five chances…you get it. These will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
1. Teasers need to be in by Monday night for posting on Tuesday morning, and by Wednesday night for posting on Thursday morning. Teasers received on Thursday or later will be saved for the next TEASER day.
2. Once the teasers are posted I won't be adding to that day's entry.
3. Up to 300 words, give or take.
4. Remember to include a TITLE and your NAME (or LJ username, if e-mailed).
5. Please put "TEASER" in the subject line so I don't miss it.
6. If I get a LOT of teasers, I'll begin posting on Thursdays as well.
The TEASERS are absolutely the best part of this, so don't be shy! These are not for critiquing, just for our own reading enjoyment!
Remember, you do NOT have to be a member of Live Journal to participate. These are open posts. If you wish to comment, just sign your entry so I know who you are.
Yay! Grapemo! *happy dances* Time for me to start figuring out my PWG, since I definitely want to participate again this year!
Awesome!!!!!! I knew I could count on you!
I'm in. This is just what I need to keep going during cold and dreary February.
I know, February's the PERFECT month. It's not like you can, yanno, GO anywhere, lol. Welcome!
Is it ok for the teasers to be less than 300 words?
Yes! They can even go a little bit over (I don't count the words). I just like to keep them under a certain length, for easy reading.


Visitors to Hastings Blue Reef Aquarium will have the chance to name their newest arrivals over the summer holidays (July 21st– September 5th) – two black tip reef sharks.
Both sharks are male and are around two-years-old. The duo, which have become best friends since settling in to their new home, are approximately 60cm long.
They enjoy feasting on their favourite food, mackerel and herring.
They are active predators and feed on a wide variety of prey including small fish, octopus, squid and crustaceans.
They have also been known to eat sea snakes and even seabirds and give birth to live young which can hunt as soon as they are born.
Blue Reef Aquarium's Leanna Lawson said: "They are a truly magnificent looking pair and we're hoping our visitors can come up with a suitably impressive-sounding name.
"We're asking for suggestions from anyone aged under 13- years-old and they can either post them in to a special box we have here at reception or email them direct to us.
"Our aquarists will then sift through all the entries and pick the two winners who will also receive a free annual pass to Blue Reef," she added.
The ocean tank features a variety of tropical fish from the south pacific, such as pufferfish, batfish and wrasse, all which can been seen from beneath the spectacular underwater tunnel.

Texas School District Moves to Train
More Staff to be Armed for Defense
Image from the Hayride
By Dean Weingarten. Dec 21, 2022
On Monday, December 12, 2022, the Keller School District board voted to implement the School Guardian program for the District. The Keller Independent School District, (ISD) with over 35,000 students, is one of the largest in the state. From The epochtimes.com:
A large North Texas school district is moving forward with its plan to allow armed staff members to protect students in the event of an active shooter situation.
On Monday night, the board of trustees for the Keller Independent School District (KISD) approved the decision in a 4–3 vote. The district, which serves more than 35,000 students, is set to become the largest in North Texas to implement a guardian program.
The new policy would be on a volunteer basis with a high degree of oversight. The program would require a rigorous selection process. Participants would undergo a law enforcement psychological exam, a physical, and firearm testing with requalification twice a year.
In September, 2013, Texas passed legislation which authorized School Districts to participate in programs designed to aid in the protection of schools. .....

Last week I participated in the #MeetTheMakerWeek instagram challenge organised by Joanne Hawker. It was wonderful to get to know other Designer/Makers, see their work and snoop around their work spaces. I also realised it would make a great first blog post!
My second post for #MeetTheMakerWeek is for the theme 'what' - I design fabric and make bags, cushions and accessories. My designs start out as watercolour paintings which I turn into patterns to print on linen and linen blend fabrics. It's hard to pick a favourite step (I even love packing orders 🙊) but if I had to pick something it's probably the initial painting of my patterns in watercolour - I find it really relaxing and enjoy seeing how my designs evolve as I go although sometimes I don't know when to stop!
Today's #MeetTheMakerWeek post is for the theme 'Where and When'. My workspace is a tiny but perfectly formed corner of the loft space in my home in Brighton, UK. I couldn't have picked a more perfect city to start my business as it is brimming with creative designer/makers, indie shops and markets. I can actually see the sea from here👆 ok so I might have to stand up, stretched through the roof window to see it but still - how amazing is that?!! I've got two very little ones at home so get up here any chance I get - usually once they've gone to bed in the evening.
It's day four of #MeetTheMakerWeek and today's post is for 'Why'. I've sort of always wanted to do something like this but it wasn't until I was on leave with my second child that I'd had enough head space to focus my ideas and actually make it happen - lots of time to think during middle-of-the-night feeds! As well as enabling me to do something I love and enjoy I wanted something super flexible to fit around my two little ones. I came to the realisation that it was 'now or never' so set a date, made a plan and here I am giving it a go. I really enjoy the end-to-end nature of running a small creative business like this - from the very beginning of jotting down ideas in my sketch book, to holding a finished item in my hand, packing it up and sending it on its way to an actual customer.
My fifth post for #MeetTheMakerWeek is for the theme 'Action or Progress'. Here is some cushion fabric getting ready to have velvet piping attached. I bit the bullet and bought a sewing machine a year ago but quickly realised the skills I remembered from Year 8 textiles weren't quite going to cut it. I turned to YouTube and after a lot of determination and practice (aka un-picking and swearing 🙊) I'm now able to sew.
It's time for my final post for #MeetTheMakerWeek - phew! Today's theme is 'Shop'. My items are stocked in my Etsy store (there's a link in my profile) and if I can make enough stock I'd really love to do some markets next year so will be on the look out for opportunities to do that. Thanks so much @joannehawker for organising this - I've really enjoyed getting to know other designer/makers on here.


A settlement conference is a private hearing between the parties involved in a lawsuit, and a judge. At a settlement conference the judge presides over the conference, guiding settlement discussions between the two sides. As the costs of going to trial rise, settlement conferences have become an important part of civil litigation, that often allow the parties to resolve their dispute and avoid the costs and risks of a trial. Most importantly, a settlement conference is a discussion, and very little can happen at a settlement conference without consent of both parties. This means that the risk of a settlement conference is low, and the parties can focus on resolving their dispute. Discussions at a settlement conference are without prejudice, and cannot later be brought up in court if the case goes to trial.
British Columbia Small Claims Court hears civil claims up to the amount of $35,000, with some exceptions. In a Small Claims case, both sides will file documents with the court called pleadings. The Claimant will file a Notice of Claim setting out their allegations, and the Defendant will file a Reply containing their response to the Plaintiff's allegations. Once this happens, the parties will wait to receive a notice form the court registry notifying them of the date set for a settlement conference. In Small Claims Court a settlement conference is mandatory, and if you do not attend you may lose by default.
Cases that involve damages over $35,000, and cases specifically excluded from Small Claims Court, must be litigated in the British Columbia Supreme Court. Although settlement conferences are not mandatory in Supreme Court, it is still possible to have a settlement conference under certain circumstances.
Supreme Court Civil Rule 9-2 sets out when a settlement conference happens in Supreme Court. Both parties can agree to have one by filing a form, or a judge or master of the court can order that the parties attend a settlement conference. Like in Small Claims Court, the judge or master who presides over the settlement conference will help the parties to discuss settlement of their dispute. The judge or master who presides over the settlement conference will not preside over the trial unless all the parties consent.
Each judge or master may conduct settlement conferences slightly different, but there are some common factors that you should know. Generally the judge will have read the pleadings and will know what the case is about. The parties may have a brief opportunity to set out their case, or the judge may launch right into asking questions of one or both parties regarding their case.
Ultimately the judge will try to start a discussion of settlement, often by asking the defendant if they are willing to make an offer to settle the case. Some judges weigh in on what they think are the merits of the case, or problems that they foresee with the case that would make it worthwhile to settle and avoid a trial. These judges may offer their opinion on the merits of the case so that the parties can make a more informed decision about whether they want to settle or go to trial. Other judges tend to focus less on the merits of the two parties' respective cases, and more on getting a dialogue going between the parties. Either way, the goal is to see if the parties can agree on a settlement.
You will never have the same judge at a trial if the case ultimately goes to trial, because the settlement conference judge has heard the without prejudice discussion of the parties.
One thing to be prepared for is that you will likely be asked to compromise on your position. In our experience, settlement conferences are a pragmatic affair, where parties are discouraged from making a stand based on principals. Litigation to trial is expensive, in terms of costs if you have a lawyer, or in terms of time if you represent yourself. Going to trial is almost always a risky situation, despite how strong your case may be. There is always the possibility that the other side succeeds in convincing the judge. Parties are expected to take into account these costs and risks when discussing settlement, and usually judges will expect there to be movement on both sides.
You are perfectly entitled to stand on principal and refuse to compromise on your position at a settlement conference, but you should be prepared to defend that position if questioned on why you will not compromise. If you take this position, it's probably more likely that your case will go to trial, because if you've ended up having to file a lawsuit, the other side is unlikely to suddenly change their tune and completely accede to your position.
In Small Claims, if the parties cannot reach an agreement, the judge often switches over to making administrative orders about the future trial and what must happen before trial. Usually these orders will include an order that the parties exchange document disclosure a certain number of days before trial. The judge may also ask you how many witnesses you intend to have testify at the trial. The judge will determine how much time is needed for the trial, which is very important. You should be prepared for these questions in case the trial does not settle, so that you can deal with any administrative matters while you are before the judge, and get clear orders about how to prepare for trial.
Why are Settlement Conferences Useful?
A surprising number of cases settle at the settlement conference or shortly thereafter. Having both parties in the same room, before an experienced and impartial individual, is an excellent opportunity to resolve the case. Things can move much more quickly when compared with sending written settlement offers back and forth. Perhaps most importantly, a settlement conference gives you a sneak peek at how the other side will appear at trial. You may hear about their case and learn why they think they will win at trial. This can be especially helpful if the other side's pleadings are less than clear in setting out their position.
At a minimum, even if the case does not resolve, you will likely walk away from the settlement conference with a better idea of the other side's case, which will enable you to better prepare for trial. You will likely know how they articulate their case in their own words, how well they present themselves before a judge, what witnesses they intend to call, and how much time they think the trial will take. All of this information will help you avoid being surprised at the trial, and will give valuable insight into how you should plan your own case to overcome the position of the other side.
Settlement conferences come down to negotiation. You will have a certain amount of leverage going into a settlement conference, depending upon how strong your case is. What you do with that leverage is up to you. Generally your goal is to maximize the amount that you recover, and to do this you need to highlight the strength of your case to the judge and the other side, increasing your leverage, and hopefully getting a better settlement offer out of the opposing party. At Velletta & Company we pride ourselves on being strong litigators, who understand both the benefits of negotiating a fair resolution, and the strategic value that can be taken away from a negotiation, even if you cannot reach an agreement. If you are facing an upcoming settlement conference, please feel free to contact us for a consultation.

Majek Faskek, Sunny Nneji, Others Pay Final Tribute To Ras Kimono
Family and friends of late reggae musician, Ras Kimono, prominent figures in the entertainment industry on Wednesday gathered to pay their last respects to him at the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) house in Lagos.
It was an emotion-laden day as many gave tributes in memory of him.
Chairman of COSON, Tony Okoroji, described the reggae legend as a man who stood for peace and unity.
"There will not be another Kimono. Kimono was a great uniter, a great guy who was completely detribalized," he said.
Similarly, veteran singer, Sunny Nneji, described him as a 'game changer' for reggae music.
He said, "It is difficult for me to measure but I would say he had great influence on the Nigeria reggae scene, I would say Kimono literally single-handedly changed the entire reggae sound in Nigeria.
"His music wasn't about the sound, but the consciousness of his lyrics".
According to Majek Fashek, another veteran in the industry, and a one-time bandmate of the late Kimono, he was a humble man who stood for love.
"He was a good man, a humble man, he was like me, he stood for one love," the singer said.
Also, veteran broadcaster, Bisi Olatilo who was a close friend of Kimono said the loss was still unbelievable.

He, however, said the singer lived a good life, worthy of celebration rather than mourning.
Ras Kimono died on June 10, 2018.
His remains will finally be laid to rest on Saturday at his hometown, Onicha Olona in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

Italian Coast Guard orders two additional AW139 helicopters
Maritime Security News - Italy
Leonardo-Finmeccanica announced an order for additional two AW139 intermediate twin helicopters by the Italian Coast Guard. This latest contract will increase the customer's fleet of AW139s to twelve. The AW139s will be used to perform a range of missions including maritime patrol, search and rescue (SAR), and emergency medical services. The latest order also includes options for a further two helicopters.
The Italian Coast Guard AW139 Helicopters perform maritime patrol, search and rescue and emergency medical service mission. Picture: Italian Coast Guard
The AW139 was selected by the customer following a European Tender launched in August 2014 for a second batch acquisition. The main contract was awarded in 2010 with the AW139 proving to be the best solution to meet the Italian Coast Guard's stringent requirements. Delivery of the first batch of AW139s to the Italian Coast Guard started in 2010 and since entering service they have proved extremely successful, performing operations around the Italian coast line and in its maritime economic exclusive zone.
The Italian Coast Guard's AW139s feature a wide range of mission equipment including an external rescue hoist, cargo hook, wire strike protection system, search/weather radar, marine band and satellite communication systems, high definition Forward Looking Infra-Red / Low Light TV (FLIR/LLTV) system, mission console with high definitions displays, Optical Proximity LiDAR System (OPLS), full Night Vision Goggle (NVG) capability, new generation Trakka searchlight, emergency floatation system and external life rafts. The AW139 design incorporates a large spacious cabin for the crew, equipment and survivors accessed by two large sliding cabin doors.
The AW139 has also been selected by and is in service with the Italian State Police, Guardia di Finanza (Customs and Border protection) and the Italian Air Force. The various Italian Government agencies operating the AW139 are able to benefit from shared logistics, training and support systems. This latest contract signed by the Italian Coast Guard brings the total number of AW139s chosen by all of these Italian government operators to 41, covering a wide scope of public utility roles including law enforcement and homeland security, patrol, special operations, search and rescue, command and control, government/VVIP transport, disaster relief and training.
Almost 240 customers from over 70 countries have ordered over 960 AW139 helicopters making it the best-selling helicopter in its class. The AW139 can perform a wide range of roles including government missions, EMS, SAR, executive/private and government transport, law enforcement, utility and offshore transport. Many maritime, border patrol and security agencies from countries around the world, including Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the UK, USA, Sweden, Spain, Estonia, UAE, to name a few, have selected or are already operating the AW139 to fulfil their requirements


Ok, teaching a check in. This took me about a week doing it every single walk, and a couple more to really cement it in training, but it will vary depending on the dog and your consistency. Every walk you do, whether it is a long walk or just a short one, take a big bag of tiny treats with you. You may need to cut down on meal rations during the training period - I used to use fish4dogs small bite so I could use the same weight of food but take it for training (small bite is tiny pieces, perfect for training as it is very smelly and a lot cheaper than "treats". Decide on the interval you would like the check in to be (I used about 20secs) and as you walk every 20secs give the dog a treat. They do not have to do anything for it, not even look, if needs be you put it in their mouth or walk up to them if they are off sniffing - at this stage it is not the dog's responsibility to get the treat, it is yours to give it on time.
Do this consistently for a few walks. You should start to notice that they look at you at around the time the treat is due - if they do, then give a big thumbs p and smile with the treat. If they start to just watch you constantly, give a thumbs up and tell them to walk on. If they are early in looking, you may want to reward them or thumbs up and send on - depends how early they are and how likely they are to look again. Keep going until more or less every 20secs they are looking for that treat.
Do another few walks with them taking responsibility, don't worry if they are a few secs late occasionally but more than this or getting too interested in something else may require a gentle touch to remind them, or gentle lead tug. Once this is consistent, you can start to phase some of the treats out, substituting for a thumbs up, and big smile, a cuddle, a game - anything else that is rewarding for them but not food, but don't eliminate the food altogether.
Using a longline, gradually give them more freedom but still expect the check in - use the line to reinforce it if needs be, or back track to a shorter lead if freedom goes to their head! As they gain more distance, you may not want them to return to you, so when they check in you can just thumbs up from a distance an give them a "carry on" signal. Or you can recall them for a reward, or a bit of heelwork to keep them thinking.
Try and use a sendaway signal to distinguish when the dog is free and has to take responsibility for checking in - when they are on a short lead it isn't as necessary, when they are offlead or on longling they need to remember their responsibility. Over time you will need less and less treats, this is the bit where you need to be patient, and it will vary with each dog, but eventually almost all check ins will be rewarded with a smile or thumbs up. Don't forget to teach the recall as well, so if they get too far ahead you can call them back at the check in!! By doing that consistently you can start to teach an appropriate distance for them to wander from you as well.
Hear Hear! goes through training a deaf dog step-by-step.
It covers basic training that most pet dog owners require, including teaching the dog to sit, lay down, stand, walk nicely on a lead, stay, and to come back when 'called'. It also covers important subjects like socialisation and suggests ways of overcoming some of the most common unwanted behaviour, like jumping up, barking and preventing your dog becoming destructive when left on its own. The moral issues of finding a home for a deaf dog are also discussed.


Gregg Allman, co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band, has postponed his summer book tour due to heart issues.
Gregg Allman had a liver transplant because of Hepatitis C at the Mayo Clinic in 2010 and has recovered steadily since, but he has had to cancel performances since the surgery because of unforeseen complications. Gregg Allman is set to undergo tests at the same clinic today for his heart.
If he gets a clear from the doctors, Gregg Allman plans to start his book tour on May 8 and wants to hit the road with the Allman Brothers.
I just want to mention I'm new to blogging and absolutely liked this website. Likely I'm going to bookmark your blog post . You actually come with awesome posts. Appreciate it for sharing your website.

Elon Musk Unveils SpaceX Spacesuit via Instagram
The Benefits and Risks of Switching from 4G to 5G
Crowdfunding Buyers Guide
If you're a follower of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Instagram, you were in for a sneak peek preview of the company's fully functional, all-new spacesuit. Space Explorations Technologies Corporation (SpaceX), the commercial space transportation startup, has designed its cutting-edge spacesuit in-house – controlling every part of the supply chain while reducing manufacturing costs. It certainly has paid off. SpaceX now has a working prototype tested in double vacuum pressure – the same conditions astronauts face during their mission into space.
Commercial Space Travel
SpaceX is not the only commercial space manufacturer designing suits for its future crewmembers. Boeing has unveiled its own "Boeing Blue" spacesuit engineered to bring its astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX has taken an entirely different approach and hired a Hollywood superhero costume designer Jose Fernandez to create its Ironman-like spacesuit. The only requirements make it look awesome. They hired the right guy for the job.
Whether it's Boeing's Starliner or SpaceX's Crew Dragon, it seems like some of the big guns in aeronautics are prepping for commercial space travel. And what would space be without an amazing astronaut suit? Boeing, like SpaceX, has partnered with a specialist in order to make its spacesuit both functional and fashionable.
The Boeing Spacesuit
Partnering with spacesuit specialist David Clark Company, Boeing's has already unveiled its design and will be worn by the astronauts planned spaceflight in 2018. The suit is 20 lbs (10 lbs lighter than NASA's) and has a special cooling layer that allows water not air to leave the suit. Outside of the lightweight materials and temperature cooling system, here are some of the additional features of Boeing's spacesuit according to Popular Science:
Zippers around the joints allowing for more flexibility
Touch screen friendly gloves for operating Starliner's control panel
Space shoes designed by Reebok that look like running shoes (compared to NASA's clunky moonwalkers)
With both Boeing and SpaceX designing its own spacesuit, NASA is giving its Advanced Crew Escape Suit (ACES) a major upgrade in the areas of comfort, durability, and mobility – unveiling its new version in time for an Orion space launch in the 2020's.
SpaceX Superhero Spacesuit
SpaceX has an entirely different approach to its spacesuit design – evoking the services of a Hollywood designer whose costumes have appeared in Batman vs. Superman, the Avengers, and Tron: Legacy. Jose Fernandez, who was hired by Musk to create a "bad-ass suit" said, "It had to be practical but it also needed to look great." In a 2015 interview with Newsweek, Elon Musk said, "It needs to be both like a 21st-century spacesuit and work well at the same time."
Elon Musk's recent Instagram shot of the fully functional SpaceX spacesuit is just teasing what promises to be a more comprehensive look at the company's in-house design. Designed to "exude style" while not compromising function, SpaceX has created a functional suit that caters to commercial space exploration. Sparing no expense and limited only by their imaginations, Boeing and SpaceX seem to be on the cusp of revolutionizing the spacesuit.
We should be hearing more about SpaceX's spacesuit in the next couple of days.

Gertie the Dinosaur (1914)
Viewing Date: 12-16-2006
Directed by Winsor McCay
Winsor McCay, George McManus, Thomas A. 'Tad' Dorgan
A cartoonist bets that he can bring a dinosaur to life and make it walk and move. He wins the bet using an animated film about a dinosaur named Gertie.
No, this wasn't the first animated movie – it wasn't even the first by Winsor McCay, who had earlier made one called HOW A MOSQUITO OPERATES, but it is still tremendously entertaining after all these years. I love all the little quirks McCay gives his creation; she can't resist taking a few seconds from following her orders to snack on a tree or tussle with a woolly mammoth or ogle a bizarre sea serpent. McCay even manages to get himself into the animation at the end when he takes a ride on Gertie's back. The beginning and end of the movie are live action, and document the story behind the making of the film; I don't know if the story is true or not, but if it is, it's almost as if the movie combines its own "making of" documentary with the main action. It even throws in a little slapstick comedy in the mix. At least one imitation was made of this movie, and McCay himself worked on a sequel that was not released.

Younger, more diverse Seattle City Council likely to bring changes
Originally published December 18, 2015 at 3:40 pm Updated December 19, 2015 at 10:42 am
Four new members of the Seattle City Council. From top left, clockwise: Lisa Herbold, Rob Johnson, Lorena González, Debora Juarez
Big changes coming to the Seattle City Council could mean equally big changes for the city, with more focus expected on neighborhoods and such issues as paid parental leave and closing the wage gap for women.
Daniel Beekman
Seattle's City Council appears poised for a new political dynamic as 2016 brings with it a new president, four new members and district representation.
Bruce Harrell is set to become president, taking over from Tim Burgess. The change won't become official until the council votes Jan. 4, but Harrell already has begun doling out committee-chair assignments to his colleagues.
Lisa Herbold, Rob Johnson and Debora Juarez will bring fresh blood to the nine-member council, as will Lorena González, who got a head start by winning the citywide Position 9 seat. She replaced temporary Councilmember John Okamoto on Nov. 24.
González will be one of five female council members, giving women a majority for the first time since 1998. She'll also be one of four people of color on the council.
Bruce Harrell is set to be president of the council.
Johnson and González are both in their 30s, whereas outgoing council members Okamoto, Nick Licata, Tom Rasmussen and Jean Godden all are older than 60.
"The diversity on the new council reflects how the city is growing," González said.
How might the council's new composition translate into changes for Seattle residents? González predicted the group will push hard to close the pay gap between women and men, and to get immigrants in the city more involved in government.
The council earlier this year approved paid parental leave for city employees, with one argument being that the move would help narrow the pay gap. Some members have said they now want to secure paid parental leave for private-sector employees.
"(The council's new makeup) is definitely going to matter on paid parental leave and all issues related to gender equity — closing the wage gap for women," González said.
For the first time in more than 100 years, the council will include members elected by geographic district — seven of them.
It remains to be seen how much the districts will change the council's business, but Juarez has big plans. The new District 5 council member said she hopes to hire a district manager to work full time in North Seattle.
"We in my office are going to be very district-oriented," Juarez said. "We're going to show people what boots on the ground in a district really means."
Councilmember Sally Bagshaw said she intends to hold office hours in District 7 — which covers Magnolia, Queen Anne and downtown — possibly at community centers.
Supporters of the 2013 ballot measure that created the district system argued it would make council members more responsive to everyday, street-level concerns.
Committee-chair assignments
Lisa Herbold — Civil rights, utilities, economic development and arts
Bruce Harrell — Education, equity and governance
Kshama Sawant — Energy and environment
Rob Johnson — Planning, land-use and zoning
Debora Juarez — Parks, Seattle Center, libraries and waterfront
Mike O'Brien — Sustainability and transportation
Sally Bagshaw — Human services and public health
Tim Burgess — Affordable housing, neighborhoods and finance
Lorena González — Gender equity, safe communities and new Americans
"We've already started to see some neighborhood issues bubble to the surface," Burgess said, citing an effort by Harrell earlier this week to keep the required distance between marijuana stores and sensitive venues such as schools at 1,000 feet.
"His position was legitimate, but we saw a very geographically focused argument being made," said Burgess, who won re-election last month to Position 8, one of the council's two remaining citywide seats.
Harrell warned against reducing the marijuana-store buffer without seeking the views of people in Southeast Seattle's District 2, where such businesses might cluster.
"These districts are not alike. They're separate and unequal," said Harrell, noting District 2 is the city's only majority-minority district. "Council members need to be sensitive now to the unique character of each district. That's a new conversation."
Some Seattle voters hoped the election would give activist members on the council's left wing a clear majority.
That didn't quite happen. Sawant and Councilmember Mike O'Brien won, as did Herbold, an aide to their frequent ally Licata. But other candidates seen as aligned with them were defeated. Newcomers Johnson, Juarez and González call themselves independent thinkers.
"I don't have any connections behind the scenes," Juarez said. "I don't like labels. Some people think every renter is a deadbeat or every developer is greedy. The world doesn't work that way. You need an adult in the room."
Nonetheless, O'Brien expects the new council to wield a sharper sword in seeking concessions from business to make the city more affordable. He pointed to a debate Monday over the council selling a public alley to Amazon.
When González, Licata and Sawant joined him in objecting to the terms of the deal, it was put on hold.
"To me, what happened showed this subtle shift," said O'Brien, whose seat is District 6, which includes Fremont, Ballard and Phinney Ridge. "I think there will be a re-examination of fairness throughout the system … We're going to be a lot more aggressive than in the past."
The committee-chair assignments will dictate which members drive policies forward. Burgess will chair a committee including housing, while Johnson will head the council's land-use committee. They'll lead on legislation related to recommendations by Mayor Ed Murray's Housing Affordability and Livability Advisory (HALA) Committee.
Johnson, who will represent Northeast Seattle's District 4, is an advocate of dense development near transit hubs. He'll be responsible for making sure the HALA Committee's "grand bargain" doesn't fall apart, he said. It calls for developers to build and pay for rent-restricted units in return for upzones in certain parts of the city.
González will chair a committee responsible for public safety, which means she'll oversee police-accountability legislation coming soon to the council.

Regeneration of coast redwood by stump sprouting often results in a stand condition that is very dense. A precommercial thinning of redwood sprouts allows managers to select trees and spacing that can best utilize the productivity of the site. The study of five thinning treatments with an unthinned control was initiated on a 19-year old third growth stand. Treatments were 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 trees per acre plus an unthinned control. All 18 plots were measured in 1981 immediately after precommercial thinning, again in 1986 (5-year growth), and again in 1998 (12-year growth). Results indicated that despite the range of thinning, the 38-year-old stand showed no statistical differences in volume growth or yield between the thinning treatments. Heavily thinned treatments concentrated more growth on fewer trees to match the stand volume growth in the lightly thinned treatments. A trend appears to be developing that indicates a drop in stand productivity for the heaviest thinning and the control. More time is needed to determine if the trend will continue.
