- 20th APRIL (A), 2015 -

I will generally do an update between the 15th and 25th of the month (and once in a while, small ones will be added on to the main update), and occasionally these will come with new 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.

As to the sequencing, I will now do only ONE monthly update and they will be ordered as follows, to reduce my work load to 4 days/month ... an agreeable amount for a hobby.

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), and until September, 2012, sub-divided into three sections (A, B & C).

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

If you use PAYPAL (an American-owned and operated financial giant) in any way, and have accounts with them, I STRONGLY recommend that you get your money out as expeditiously as possible. Then close your accounts immediately.

God damn those evil, grasping, controlling, c-ck sucking BASTARDS to eternal Hell.

Here's a direct clip and paste, and below it a screen shot, of the most important part of the policy change (Emphasis colours and case are mine).

We are adding a new paragraph to section 1.3., which outlines the licence and rights that you give to us and to the PayPal Group (see paragraph 12 below for the definition of “PayPal Group”) to use content that you post for publication using the Services. A similar paragraph features in the Privacy Policy, which is removed by the addition of this paragraph to the User Agreement. The new paragraph at section 1.3 reads as follows:

“When providing us with content or posting content (in each case for publication, whether on- or off-line) using the Services, you grant the PayPal Group a NON-EXCLUSIVE, WORLDWIDE, PERPETUAL, IRREVOCABLE, ROYALTY-FREE, sub licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise ANY and ALL copyright, publicity, trademarks, database rights and intellectual property rights you have in the content, in any media known now or in the future.

Further, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you waive your moral rights and promise not to assert such rights against the PayPal Group, its sublicensees or assignees. You represent and warrant that none of the following infringe any intellectual property right: your provision of content to us, your posting of content using the Services, and the PayPal Group’s use of such content (including of works derived from it) in connection with the Services.”

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS POLICY CHANGE BY PAYPAL IS, IN EFFECT, AMERICAN CORPORATE THEFT WRIT LARGE AND IT HAS TO BE STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS. IT COMES INTO FULL EFFECT ON 1ST OF JULY, 2015.

I have pulled my own measly amounts of money out of this company and henceforward will refuse to have ANY dealings with them. They are nothing more than a bunch of thieving, corporate bastards out to screw as many people as they can and are even worse than Bernard Madoff, in that they make NO bones about the fact that they are going to fuck you and you're not even going to get kissed.

Further, I will be contacting all of the folks who have banners on this site and informing them of the policy change by PayPal, in hope that they will cease dealing with these unmitigated ass holes.

Please take the time to forward the above link for the PayPal Policy Change to those you care about, and to clip and paste my own sentiments, if you wish.

As has been mentioned in last month's upload, this will be the last one until July, as I shall be traveling extensively from the 17th of May through to the end of June.

SO, with that being the case, I'm going to do a substantial upload here and hope that you'll enjoy what's presented

If anyone would like to see a particular area of the scene covered in more depth, please don't hesitate to send me an email, and I may get interested and do some research then an article.

In another area, I've decided to stop putting up just the smaller thumbnails, where I can, when it comes to the banner farm and promo pix page. Until now, due to bandwidth consumption costs, I've normally used thumbnails that were 240 x 325 pixels, but this is going to change, effective this upload to the images, for the most part, being 350 x 500 pixels. I hope you'll enjoy the change :-).

Part Two of the PD INterview is on the agenda for this month's upload and you can find it in the JG-L ARTICLES SECTION, PAGE 56. I think you'll find it quite informative of one of the scene's most important originators.

Naturally the ROGUE'S GALLERY has been updated as well and I hope you'll find the imagery to be entertaining in one way or another. It's a fairly large upload so give the page a chance to load fully.

I've had the good fortune to meet some new friends from the Netherlands and they were kind enough to send me some excellent pix of what they do in The Scene. Obviously they are into rubber in a big way and I love their imagination. They also have a web site that you'll find of interest :-).

If it all works out, I hope we'll get to meet face-to-face when I'm traveling through Holland, and get to see their play room up close and personal :-).

In the course of my normal surfing for material, I find a lot of things that strike my fancy in one way or another and so have uploaded some images below that will act as somewhat of an additional Rogue's Gallery. Enjoy!
