![]() "Samuel Steward, secret sexual historian, is a secret no longer. " Secret Historian is a startlingly, unforgettably vivid glimpse into a life-and a world-that few of us can imagine." - Terry Teachout, author of Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong Sammy Steward is all but unknown except by a handful of historians, but Justin Spring's lively biography-which is full of important new information about pre-Stonewall gay life-should put Sammy on the map, which is where he decidedly belongs." - Martin Duberman, author of Cures: A Gay Man's Odyssey ![]() "A true page-turner-and a memorable act of historical reclamation. Instead, through Steward's copious records, we have a brave, fly-on-the-wall account of American homosexual subculture and persecution." - Martin Stannard, author of Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark: The Biography As the story of a sex-obsessed recovering alcoholic later addicted to barbiturates and to masochistic thrills, this could easily have become a portrait of a failure. A cultivated, rather shy professor of English literature, Sam Steward dropped out in midlife to become an eminent tattooist and writer of S&M porn. ![]() "Justin Spring documents the extraordinary life of one of Kinsey's crucial gay witnesses, and reading Secret Historian is like reading Kinsey dramatized. A vivid, candid portrait." - Kirkus Reviews Generous excerpts from Steward's journals and unpublished memoirs fortify an already comprehensive examination of a life lived with unabashed independence and homoerotic expression during the sexual rebellion of the pre-Stonewall era. Spring's sympathetic and entertaining story of a life registers the limitations imposed on homosexuals by a repressive society, but also celebrates the creativity and daring with which Steward tested them." - Publishers Weekly "Life in the closet proves boisterous indeed in this biography of an iconic figure of the pre-Stonewall gay demimonde. tackled life with awe-inspiring abandon" - Details "This is a rich and exuberant biography of a man who deserves to be better known" - The Economist Spring has reconstituted Steward, as Phil Andros might say, in flesh and blood and all sorts of bodily fluids." - David D'Arcy, San Francisco Chronicle "Justin Spring's jaw-dropping Secret Historian reads like a novel probing a lifelong rebel's courage, creativity and ultimate sadness. extensive documentation-and the miraculous rescue of that documentation, recounted in the book's preface-left his biographer material to reconstruct an emblematic homosexual life." - Benjamin Moser, Harper's Steward was an obsessive record keeper, and his journals and his 'Stud File' of thousands of encounters allow to create a remarkably full portrait of a man whose life was what Edmund White's might have been had White been born three decades earlier. A talented writer who early attracted the attention of Gertrude Stein and Thornton Wilder, he found his career blocked by a determination (so different from hers and his) to write candidly about his homosexuality. "Can a secret sex diary furnish an artistic legacy as meaningful as Emily Dickinson's sewn-up bundles of poems, or the piles of paintings Theo van Gogh inherited after his brother's premature demise? Samuel Steward may never have imagined it, but his erotic history raises the question. One suspects there are many more stories of that time worth telling, and too few treasure-packed attics." - Mark Harris, The New York Times Book Review The probity and expansive vision of Spring's work is a reminder that a great, outspread terrain of gay history remains to be mapped. As a biographer, he's humble but firm-he lets Steward's vivid, energetic prose do much of the talking but keeps his own hand on the tiller and never gets giddy, even when Steward seems to be carousing his way through the entire Modern Library. ![]() Be assured that it's all for real, and that Spring, even when neck-deep in sensational material, is not a sensationalist. Samuel Steward, the subject of this absorbing act of biographical excavation, had many identities, including several that the subtitle of the book omits. But even the most skeptical reader of his new book, Secret Historian, will have to admit that the bar is now set high. "Somewhere in the United States, there may be an attic containing the written remnants of a previously unchronicled 20th-century life that was even more astonishing than the one the writer Justin Spring discovered in San Francisco a few years ago. ![]() ![]() One thing that would have made it even more convenient to look through each gallery is a slideshow feature. But doing so will certainly display the image to its original full-sized version, allowing you to see the picture in all of its glory. The thumbnails are so large and stunning that you may not feel inclined to click on them to look at full-sized images. Select a thumbnail to see the photos that are within. And although there are no sorting options in the Chinese porn picture section either, it’s a nice touch to be able to see how many images are in each gallery before you make the jump. One thing to note is that each thumbnail in the Chinese porn picture section shows you how many images are in that gallery. Then, select the table labeled ‘Chinese porn pics’ to see all of the available galleries for you to fucking jerk it to. To access the over 20 galleries that China Babe has to offer, go to the top of the homepage. So if you do not mind jerking off to sexy galleries featuring hot Chinese women, China Babe can make it happen, thanks to the over 2000 photos collection. When you stack up the galleries with the number of Chinese porn videos available on the tube site, the videos pale in comparison. Over 2000 photosChina Babe fares better when it comes to its variety of Chinese photo galleries. ![]() But I will get to the listings in a moment. Likewise, the date when the content was posted needs to be displayed somewhere in the thumbnail. But again, there is no real way of knowing that because you can’t sort the content that is already on the tube site.ĭo you see why that needs to fucking change immediately? China Babe needs to include sorting options so visitors can sort content by most viewed, newest, longest, etc. So the content that is on the homepage is assumingly sorted by most recent. I assume that when new content goes live, it goes to the top of the homepage. So there is absolutely no indication as to when you can expect new content to go live.įurther, there are no sorting options. ![]() You see, most tube sites show you when videos were published – in either the thumbnail or on the video’s page – but China Babe does not do that. This brings us to the question: how much content does China Babe actually post? And, well, I have no fucking idea. Otherwise, you will run out of content to watch, and nobody wants that – your penis will hate you for that! You have to hope that China Babe will have posted enough videos for you to watch. ![]() But once you do, hell, where do you go from there? Perhaps ThePornDude to find more Asian porn? Sure, it will take you a fucking long time to watch absolutely everything. And although the full-length content is welcomed and appreciated, it does not change that there needs to be more content added to the mix.Ĭhina Babe only has a little over 290 videos as of this review. Over 290 videosA downside to China Babe is clearly to see that there is not much to consume from the start. But it also kind of sucks because there isn’t that much content on China Babe. It’s okay because you can easily taste test most of the content on China Babe. Which, in turn, is a good and a bad thing at the same time. I presume it’s a good thing too because as you scour the library from one page to another, you will want to watch a little bit of everything. So you won’t see any ridiculously short clips, at least. But the runtimes do not differ that much. Some are a bit more than 30-minutes, others are slightly below that. I noticed that as I was browsing the sexy videos that the tube site has to offer, most of the videos had a duration of around 30-minutes. However, the clips are not all that long. The videos on China Babe feature real Chinese beauties, which adds much the realism of the content. ![]() The content on this website feels authentic. But I am happy we will not have to experience that on China Babe! It really pisses me off when I browse around on these tube sites only to find some videos that are nothing more than teasers. Full-length contentAmong the things that impressed me when I was looking around at the content on China Babe was that there is no teaser content on this platform. ![]() ![]() If the bid for a team is met, each trick counts 10 points, with any additional tricks (sandbags) worth 1 point. Once the full hand has been played, the game is scored. Spades cannot lead a trick until they have been broken in another trick or if that is the only suit the lead player has left in their hand. The winner of the trick leads the next trick. ![]() If a trick contains a spade, the highest spade wins. If a trick is played without a spade, the highest lead suit card takes the trick. Moving clockwise, each player plays a card to follow suit, unless they do not have the suit, in which they can play any card in their hand. The Spades game begins gameplay with the player to the left of the dealer, who can play any card other than a Spade. The payout will be higher if you achieve it, but the loss even greater if you don't - so bid this at your own risk! Teams must reach the total number of tricks they have bid together in order to get a positive score. If you bid a Blind Nil, you must bid a 0 without seeing your cards. The table then enters into the bidding phase where they estimate the number of tricks they can take with the hand they have been dealt. Spades is a game of trumps, where all spades are the best cards in the game and will beat all other suits.Įach hand begins with all 52 cards being dealt to the players. ![]() The version of 24/7 Spades is the most popular and is played with four Spades players in a team format, where players across the table are considered teammates. Spades is played with a basic set of 52 cards and card value ranks from 2, the lowest, to Ace, the highest. Spades is a casual card game developed in the 1930's in the USA. ![]() ![]() ![]() The wastewater has mixed with rainwater and groundwater since the tsunami. The high level of cesium-which, depending on the level of exposure, canĬause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, coma, and death in people who eat contaminated food-was discovered as TEPCO prepares to begin the discharge of treated wastewater which has been used to cool fuel from the melted reactors. ![]() Rainwater from the areas surrounding the reactors flows into the area where the fish was caught. The fish was caught near drainage outlets at the plant, where three nuclear reactors melted down in March 2011 during a tsunami. The plant operator, known as TEPCO, analyzed a black rockfish in May that was found to contain levels of radioactive cesium that were 180 times over Japan's regulatory limit, Through the newly established Center for Marine and Environmental Radioactivity (CMER), Buesseler continues to promote public education, training in marine radiochemistry, and research and engineering related to Fukushima and other natural and human sources of radioactivity.With the Tokyo Electric Power Company planning to begin a release of 1.3 million tonnes of treated wastewater from the former Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan next month, reports of radioactive fish in the area have raised alarm in recent years-and new reporting on Sunday revealed that the problem is far from mitigated, prompting questions about how dangerous the company's plan will be for the public. To this date, important fisheries off Fukushima remain closed due to levels of cesium that are above Japanese limits for seafood. They also measured cesium and other radionuclides in plankton and fish and, in subsequent cruises, collected sediments from the seafloor near the plant. The levels of cesium had diminished quickly off shore because cesium is soluble in seawater and was therefore diluted by the Pacific ocean currents. The scientists found elevated levels of the nuclear by-product cesium but they were below the threshold of concern for direct human exposure. Within months of the accident, Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), assembled a research cruise and science party of 17 people from eight institutions to sample the waters surrounding the nuclear plant. ![]() Additional airborne radioactive material from the explosions and fires at the plant fell onto the sea surface, where it too mixed into the water, as did subsequent leaks from tanks on the site holding treated water. Because of the plant’s location along the coast, much of the water washed into the Pacific, resulting in the largest accidental release of radiation to the ocean in history. The waves, some of which measured more than 40 feet, also struck the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant 150 miles north of Tokyo, disabling the plant’s emergency systems and causing emergency crews to use seawater to cool the damaged reactors. The disaster left dozens of villages along nearly 200 miles of coast heavily damaged or completely destroyed. On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake 80 miles off the Northeast Coast of Japan triggered a series of tsunamis that struck nearby shorelines with only a few minutes’ warning. Scientists continue to study the effects of radioactive contaminants on the marine environment following the earthquake, tsunamis, and resulting radiation leads from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Japan.
