JG-L News-2010-December-A

Although I do this for fun, I'd like to request your assistance with the costs of keeping the site on-line.

Bandwidth use is well over 900 GIGabytes a month and it ain't cheap here in The Great White North. Anything you can spare will help to keep the site humming along. As you may have noted the DONATION BUTTON has been replaced, this at the command of the folks who provided the facility. I am prohibited from mentioning them by name. However, electronic donations can still be deposited to keep this web site alive, by using the button below, which, effectively, does the same thing.

In the 'Send Money To' box, just type in my e-mail addy, JC-GREEN@TELUS.NET, and all will work fine. Your support and donations are MOST appreciated!

Thanks all for your patience, and in advance, for your assistance to cover the costs incurred.

I will generally do an update at the 10th of the month, the 20th and at the end of the month, with rotating pages from different sections of the site. Please read the introduction for each update and you'll find that I normally remember to hot-link to the appropriate new page.

Previous pages for this section will be placed in the archives for future reference and it's structure will normally be a month by month basis for each year (12 pages), sub-divided into three sections (A, B & C).

Please Note: There is no "INDEX" page per se. Use the month and year pages at he the bottom of the page to review previous updates to this Section and the Rogue's Gallery.

Nearly three months away from doing site up-dates has allowed me to rejuvenate and I'm now once more ready to continue spreading and reinforcing kinkery :-).

Before I bore you to tears with what has happened since the last update, to those of you who sent me personal emails to ask after my health and well being, please accept my sincere thanks! Those messages were much appreciated.

The 20th September up-load went in as per plan, just before GeeTwo and Maxi arrived from the UK for a 5 week visit, and I planned to do the next ... that you see below this section of blathering in mid-October.

During the last week of their visit (a delightful time with GREAT people) I decided it was time for the purchase of a new MAC computer and so went ahead and ordered it. The machinery took two weeks to arrive, then came the subsequent switch from the Windows O/S. For the past 4 years, my 10 year old, Dell 8250 has been getting crankier and crankier and I have long lusted for a new machine. The Dell is both a dinosaur and soon to be a boat anchor ... to say nothing of the innumerable viruses that Windows O/S is subject to.

Anyhow ... when the day came to do the upload you see below, I could NOT establish contact with the site server! Somehow the data had become corrupted on both Dell machines and I couldn't get back on-line. THAT problem was solved for me on the 6th December by my wonderful SFO 'guru', Mark of SERIOUSBONDAGE and for his assistance and patience with me, I am MOST grateful.

I'm still learning the MAC O/S and that will continue for some time to come (a good thing! If you stop learning ... you die).

In early November, more friends came up from SFO for a 10 day visit and to attend the Sagacity (Victoria, BC kink club)10th Birthday Bash, then came the continuation of transferring data files to the new MAC.

Of course, as well, I have been busy editing and re-writing more of my somewhat purplish prose, with the latest one (LAURA'S EVOLUTION) now finished and sent off to PINK FLAMINGO PUBLISHING. No planned publication date is available at this writing.

I've not been lax in the area of creating new gear down in the work shop, either:-). As well as the newest 'bastardizations', I've also been working at refining old designs and have a full Winter's work ahead, just in the shop alone. More on this stuff, complete with pix, will appear in future uploads :-).

Of course there's always the matter of the site costs and that of creating new gear ... These are a continuing concern. I am retired and on a fixed income ... and so your donations to support these costs are very important. If you can manage to assist, what little you can spare by means of a donation, will be MUCH appreciated. Please use the button above.

So ... that's what's going on and I plan to soon have more updates, as there's a ton of stuff, both my own and for the Rogue's Gallery to show yet :-).

It's been pretty busy since I last up-dated, what with GeeTwo and Maxi here for a 5 week visit, working on the Sybian Pedestal and preparing to move to an Apple O/S. Here's some pix of the completed device, ready for its first test run :-).

Then came the road trip to San Francisco to attend the Folsom Fair. Here's some pix of the event from our perspective.

Here's a couple of images of some of my favourite subject matter ... the female Human Equine and on the right, Krystal ... a good friend of JWH, who made the trip all the way from Brisbane, Australia to attend the Fair.

Left ... Krystal and me, staying in the shade (damn, it was hot that day!). Centre ...the always lovely Mistress Liliane being transported by her loyal 'boys'. Right ... GeeTwo and Maxi enjoying the wonderment of the passing crowd (and deservedly so).

A trio of lovely, bitted ladies on their leashes and reins ... as they should be :-). On the right, I'm enjoying a little 'infamy by association'.

A couple of overview shots that show a small part of the huge crowds that attend the Folsom Fair each year and on the right, some of the folks that stopped to inspect the Horse Women.

*******************************

Of course there were the usual rounds of pix sessions at Mark's place, with me fortunate enough to do some show and tell with a couple of the ladies. More pix :-).

With the weather being as hot as it was during our stay, bondage on Mark's back deck was almost an obligatory endeavour and later on in the eveni9ng some of the curious vanilla neighbours came over to visit and see what all the laughter and noise was about.

Straight jackets were very popular this time around, but there were also delightful ladies like Sable (on the right), who decided that a corset was worth the effort also. A beautiful lady and wonderfully adventurous person.

Of course I HAD to demonstrate the effectiveness of the AXSMAR clamps to Sable and 'D' and soon they had been fitted ... and used :-).

You've heard the expression 'curiosity killed the cat' and Sable wondered about the effectiveness of my vacuum/electrical breast cups, but not for long :-)! It was a pleasure to show her how effective these devices are.

At first they tickled, then the sensations got stronger and stronger, as can be seen by Sable's changes of expression.

The steel bra was a hit also, but then I added in the other shiny bits I find so attractive ... the clamp/earrings and the nose clip (again), this time with its chain leash connected. Talk about total control and instant obedience!

'D' was next up for the addition of the clamps and had soon been led out onto the street by Dalton, to be leashed to a handy tree.

The experimentation continued when I changed the arrangement of the clamps and their associated leashes, showing 'D' just how controlling they were in combination. After I'd tormented her enough (for the moment) with the clamps, it was time to demonstrate to her how the Bubbler Bottle, breath restriction system functioned. It was a lot of fun to show off my bits and pieces of kit, even though I didn't use any of it myself.

*******************************

A few days later we headed up the US-101, to stop for a night in Eureka, for a quick visit with my good friends at MEDICAL TOYS. The the next day we drove further along the Oregon Coast (spectacular!), then inland to McMinnville to visit the Evergreen Corp. Aviation and Space Museum ... also spectacular.

*******************************

For those of you who don't know it, I spent nearly 40 years of my working life in the aviation industry in one way or another (RCAF (R), Air Traffic Controller, and the airline business), so you can understand my continuing fascination with aircraft of all types.

Most visitors to this site already know that I'm more than a bit of a technology nut case and so love to visit museums that show off some of the older stuff. Steam locomotives are my first love, followed by aircraft of all types, and ships, so to get to McMinnville to once again see the Spruce Goose (the aircraft is actually made of birch, NOT spruce) was a real joy. The last time I'd seen the Goose (that frigging aircraft is IMMENSE!!), was in Long Beach Harbour, many years ago.

Evergreen Corporation has done an outstanding job of keeping the Goose in the best of shape and their collection of other classic aircraft is something that is NOT to be missed, if you're in the vicinity (about an hour and a half drive, south west of Portland, OR).

It's pretty difficult to imagine the size of the Goose, until you stand next to it, or walk inside the aircraft.

Above are a couple of dioramas that show how the Goose was built by Howard Hughes.

Left ...a 'Stagger Wing' Beech and on the right ... the first twin engine jet fighter ... an ME-262.

Left ... the classic B-17 of WW-II fame and on the right, the P-51 'Mustang'. For those who don't know it, the P-51 was, in fact, a British design and only came into full effectiveness when fitted with Rolls Royce or (American built), Packard Merlin engines.

Left, the 'Avenger' ... an aircraft that came back to haunt the Japanese after the Pearl Harbour attack and on the right, the P-38 Lighting of the type that shot down the aircraft that Admiral Yamamoto (the architect of the PH raid) was in.

Left ... an ME-109, Gustav ... one of the most used German fighters in WW-II and a very formidable foe in the hands of a well-trained pilot. Right ... a twin bank, Wasp, radial engine ... one of the most reliable engines built in its era.

The Beech Starship ... a uniquely beautiful aircraft that never made the cut, unfortunately. One of the four or five remaining.

The F-105 ... if one can call a fighter aircraft good looking, this is one example. It was used in the exceedingly dangerous 'Wild Weasel' operations in Vietnam.

Left ... the V-2, designed by Werner Von Braun ... a true genius and hugely responsible for much of the US rocketry programs. Centre ... A helicopter of the type used to retrieve astronaut capsules; as seen, slung beneath. Right ... another Von Braun creation ... the Redstone missile.

I got to see another SR-71 (Blackbird) and could not help but again be impressed by the design of the Kelly Johnson 'Skunk Works' team. It's an incredible piece of technology with a most interesting past, having flown operationally the first time away back in the mid-1960's.

I was told by some of the volunteers at the museum that to make this particular aircraft fully functional again, all they have to do is to re-assemble, fuel it, and light off the engines. Wow! I'd love to see that happen, but it probably never will.

*******************************

From there it was a long drive back to home base, the same day, then getting settled in once more. I'm continuing work on other projects, now that the pedestal is complete, as per usual, and pix will appear along the way. Amongst those projects are sets of clear, acrylic breast cups (large and medium sized, small to follow soon) that I have suitably modified, to make them electro-shock capable also, but, you KNEW I'd do THAT :-)!

There will be no update to the banners and associated thumbnails this month, but regular updates will commence again with the December 'B' Series upload.

My good friend RUBBERT, on Vancouver Island, who is so kind as to act as my technical and safety person on my infrequent excursions and explorations, is NO slouch when it comes to his own B&D endeavours :-). RUBBERT is an expert when it comes to straight jackets, rubber wear and all sorts of other arcane aspects of the scene, to say nothing of his engineering, photographic and artistic skills. He's a very knowledgeable person in a wide variety of fields (steam propulsion, electrical, hydraulics, pneumatics, material properties, etc., etc., etc.).

While in SFO for the Folsom Fair, we all paid a visit to MR-S and while there, of course spent a few dollars on new kit. Here, he's created a very well engineered Isolation Cell, complete with electric hoist and all sorts of other stuff, then finished it off very nicely, as can be seen in the images below.

Rubbert purchased a pair of ankle suspension boots and has now integrated them into his set-up at his home.

The Isolation Cell will eventually be fully sound insulated with an additional layer of 4" thick foam on all surfaces.

He's ensured that the cell is safe, having fitted a 'Baby Monitor', positive ventilation, and in the future will add a video camera.

Hung up outside of the Isolation Chamber's inner room, he can see out into the garden while the door is open, then, curling and turning he can see the Isolation Cell's door; opened and ready for him to be slid inside. Once he's been moved into the inner and true 'Cell' portion of the Isolation Chamber, he has no choice for soon, the door will close, the bolts will be shoved home, the lights turned off and he will remain that way until Lady M returns.

Rubbert enjoys long term (6-8 hr.) bondage sessions, but for the moment will not do it while inverted the whole time.

And last, a couple of recent pix of a short session for your intrepid explorer, in the Whine Cellar. Fun to do and satisfied the immediate urge, but hopefully a longer term and 'supervised' time in the future.
