Tanner tilts his head to the side slightly as the other looks at him blinking before asking quietly, "What? Did I say something wrong? Am I not supposed to swear now? I'm... sorry..." he says completely confused right now by the other's stare. He blushes slightly a tad uncomfortable.
Tobias Reyes chuckles when Tanner apologizes. "No." He'd state as he takes another step toward the boy, "You didn't say anything wrong--it's just. I--I-" He'd pause suddenly, realizing that he nervous stuttering was beginning to come back. He'd take another step toward the boy, a slight grin spreading across his lips as he slowly closes the gap between them. "Hav--have you ever had one of those inner monologues running through your mind? One of the ones that tries to figure out whether what you're about to do is actually a good idea or not?" He'd say, chuckling at the absurdity of his own comment.
Tanner blushes slightly as the other comes closer before nodding a bit, "Umm... ya... every time I say something to you people..." he utters out letting out the quietest of chuckles rubbing the back of his neck shyly.
Tobias Reyes takes one more step toward Tanner, his chest nearly meeting the other's. "Good." He'd say with a grin. "So, I guess I haven't gone troppo, huh?" He'd ask before starring down at the boy. Tanner was unlike any bloke Toby had been attracted to in the past. He was smaller, thinner and younger than himself... but there was something about him. His gaze would remain locked on the small bloke and without saying a word, he'd simply stare down at him... his inner monologue still rolling over in his head.
Tanner blushes even more at this letting out a shuddered breath as he utters out quietly, "Uhh... g... guess not.." he utters out having no idea what troppo meant but just going along with it. Right about now he was more interested in how close the other was. From the moment he'd seen Toby he'd been attracted to him but with everything that had happened he'd pushed that attraction out of his mind figuring Toby was just too much trouble.
Tobias Reyes chuckles softly, mentally noting that Tanner was definitely just as nervous around him as Toby was around Tanner; if not more. He'd continue to stare down at him, his eyes moving from the mat of red hair on the bloke's head, down his face before resting on the collar fastened around Tanner's neck. He'd stare at the device silently for a moment before turning his gaze back up toward the bloke's eyes. "So," he'd ask, a slight smirk growing on his lips as he speaks. "would you say it's a good idea or a bad idea? Because if I don't make up my mind soon, the voices inside my head might start to drive me crazy." He says before chuckling sheepishly.
Tanner lets out a soft groan shaking his head slightly, "I... don't know..." he utters out, "What if Saki sees? She'll be really mad..." he utters out but truth was he really did want this. He hadn't been with anyone since San disappeared several weeks ago.
Tobias Reyes smirk turns into a full-on grin as he brings his left hand up toward Tanner's face slowly. He'd attempt to run the fingers of his bandaged hand through the bloke's hair, starring down at him as he does so. "What Ms. Saki doesn't know, won't hurt her." He says, his voice almost hushed. Sure, he loved Saki... but even after she'd managed to save him from that demon, well, he still couldn't fight what he really wanted. "As long as we don't tell the Dames and we do as we're told otherwise... we'll be fine. There'll be nothing for Ms. Saki or any of the other Dames to get upset about." He says before attempting to lean in toward Tanner, his nose sitting just inches away from the other's.
Tanner lets out a soft breath against the other's lips at this point, nodding just slightly and uttering out quickly, eyes half-lidded as he spoke, "Okay...." it was a single words but a word that could either lead him into trouble or perhaps something he'd quite enjoy. Right about then he wasn't about to stop even if he was worried about the Dame's finding out.
Tobias Reyes shudders slightly, the brush of warm air escaping from Tanner's lips tickling his lips. He'd return the smaller bloke's nod as he closes the gap between the two of them; attempting to press his lips against Tanner's. At this point, he didn't care if Saki herself came walking down the small paved path. He didn't care if the whole horde of Dames came prancing down the pathway... he was focused purely on the bloke before him. Somehow, they'd finally managed to be alone. And Toby wasn't going to waist any more of what little time they might end up having together.
With stuttering, viewers-turned-participants use their entire bodies to touch and trigger activation points laid out in a Mondrian-styled grid. Move quickly, and the piece will itself stutter in a barrage of audiovisual verbiage; move carefully, even cautiously – stutter with your body – and both meaning and bodies emerge.
Enniscorthy edged by battling Bangor by Roger Corbett
Bangor produced an excellent performance against a strong Enniscorthy side to once again come from behind and secure a semi-final place by 14-10.
In contrast to last week, the weather and pitch conditions at Upritchard Park were good. However, Bangor’s preparations got off to a bad start when centre Mike Aspley aggravated an injury in the pre-match warm-up and was unable to play. A quick re-shuffle saw Chris Morgan come in from full back as his replacement, and Adam McCusker taking up the full back role. For Enniscorthy’s part, they came to this fixture on the back of a good run of results in the Leinster League Division 1A, and sitting in second place in that table.
A mistake by Bangor right from the referee’s whistle at kick-off looked to have handed the visitors an opportunity to take the initiative. However, having won the ball back, McCusker put a superb kick deep into the Enniscorthy twenty two that left the defence no option but to put it into touch. The Bangor line-out was taken cleanly by Curtis Stewart, and a maul was formed that surged towards the Enniscorthy line before Jamie Clegg dropped with the ball and scored the game’s first try after just 4 minutes. Mark Widdowson made the conversion, and the score was 7-0.
Within 3 minutes the lead could have been extended when Enniscorthy were penalised for a high tackle. However, this time Widdowson’s kick drifted wide of the posts.
If Bangor thought things were going their way, this soon changed as Enniscorthy gathered themselves and started to gain confidence through a lengthy period of possession, aided in some part by Bangor’s readiness to kick when in possession themselves. The Enniscorthy attack was now causing Bangor headaches, with the result that the penalty count started to rise. Eventually these repeated infringements around the breakdown led to a yellow card being shown to James Henly. Enniscorthy saw this as their opportunity to capitalise, and laid siege to Bangor’s line. Bangor doggedly held their line despite conceding further penalties, and having to defend the resulting line-out and drive combination by Enniscorthy. As Henly’s 10 minute period in the sin bin came to an end, Bangor had somehow managed to hold off the Enniscorthy attack, and had actually managed to turn over the ball, giving them a chance to clear their lines and gather their breath. However, in a bizarre series of events, Ricky Armstrong’s clearance kick was charged down and bounced back towards the Bangor line, only to be gratefully accepted by one of the big Enniscorthy forwards who was still getting to his feet from the preceding ruck. With barely two steps to the line, he touched down for the try, leaving the Bangor players confused and dejected after working so hard to prevent the score. The conversion was missed, keeping Bangor narrowly ahead by 7-5, after 23 minutes.
For most of the remainder of the first half, Enniscorthy kept play in Bangor’s half. Bangor looked dangerous on the counter attack, with some good runs by the wingers Davy Charles and Mark Widdowson. For Enniscorthy’s part, they had several good scoring opportunities but either knocked-on or missed a pass at the crucial moments. A half time score of 7-5 would have been gladly taken by Bangor but, as 40 minutes approached, a lapse in concentration while in their own twenty two, led to a missed tackle which was clinically exploited by Enniscorthy, allowing them to run in for their second try which, although unconverted, gave the lead by 7-10 as the sides turned around.
As has been the case in many other games, Bangor’s second half performance moved up a gear, and it was now the visitor’s line that was coming under attack. Within the first 10 minutes, Bangor looked to be in a good scoring position, but the Enniscorthy defence was equal to Bangor’s first half display. Although unable to break through at this time, Bangor were now looking more confident as the initial Enniscorthy charge appeared to be stuttering. This certainly looked the case when, after 25 minutes had elapsed, the Enniscorthy kicker elected to go for the posts from close to the half way line – a strange decision given the relatively poor conversion attempts earlier. Once again the kick was missed, but Bangor had at least been pushed back into their own half.
As the game entered the final 5 minutes, it was beginning to look like Enniscorthy would hold firm and take the win. However, in a repeat of the exemplary performance displayed at Clonmel in the previous round, Bangor simply lifted their game again and mounted a surge against their tiring opponents. With just 2 minutes of normal time remaining, Jamie Ball gathered the ball at the half way line, and then passed it to Clegg on his left. Leading by example, Clegg went straight, taking the ball past the 10 metre line and drawing the approaching Enniscorthy defender. A well-timed pass to his left was equally well-received by Widdowson on the wing, who rounded his opposite number and sprinted for the line. With little space to work with and the full-back still to beat, Widdowson produced the speed and footwork necessary to take him over the line, to the left of the posts. He then managed to add the icing on the cake with another well-struck conversion which put Bangor ahead by 14-10.
The moments immediately after scoring are particularly dangerous, and with Enniscorthy now throwing everything they had, the remaining couple of minutes were incredibly tense – for both sets of supporters. To Enniscorthy’s credit, they skilfully kept recycling the ball – almost like sevens rugby – bringing the game back into Bangor’s twenty two. But in the end, it was just too much, with Bangor eventually managing to turn the ball over and close out the game, bringing despair and delight in equal measure on the faces of the opposing players.
To the Bangor supporters who had been unable to travel to the game at Clonmel, and who had not fully appreciated the performance there, this brought everything that had been said into focus, and with it the realisation that Bangor now have the ability to go all the way in this competition. With Ulster rivals Clogher Valley and CIYMS, and Leinster high-fliers Dundalk now joining Bangor in the semi-finals, the next hurdle will be equally challenging, but having beaten two of the strongest junior sides in Ireland, confidence is high and everything is now to play for.

Bill Dennison was born at Snake River in Renfrew County on January 20, 1905. As a young man, he stuttered so badly that he decided to enter a speech therapy school in the United States. His problem cured, Dennison returned to Canada and established a similar facility which he called Dennison School of Speech Correction in Oshawa. He later moved to Toronto and ran the school out of a house at 31 St. Clair Avenue East.
Dennison entered politics in the 1938 civic election winning a position as school trustee. He ran for and won the alderman position for Ward Two in 1941, a feat he repeated two years later. Dennison then ran for provincial office and was elected MPP, serving from 1943 to 1945, and again from 1948 to 1952. In 1953, he returned to city politics and was again elected alderman. Six years later he was elected to the next level, city controller, and in 1967 was elected mayor of Toronto, a position he retained until retiring from politics in 1972.
Dennison’s proudest accomplishments during his six-year tenure as mayor were the construction of the Eaton Centre and the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, and the renovation of the historic St. Lawrence Hall. On the other hand, his greatest disappointments were the failure of council to evict those living on Toronto Island so it could be turned into a park, and the province’s decision to abandon the construction of the Spadina Expressway through the heart of downtown Toronto (to connect with the Frederick G. Gardiner [Plot U, Lot 221] Expressway). An abbreviated version of the expressway exists today as the Allan Road. Dennison died on May 2, 1981 and is buried in the Bainbridge plot. His wife was the former Dorothy Bainbridge.

Starstruck
By Michael Vance
Every artform has strengths and weaknesses. Radio fails with color. Novels cannot sing and dance, and movies stutter over richly complex issues. Any artist’s success depends on understanding these limitations and using a medium’s strengths to their best effect. Limited to 335 words in reviewing comics, I cannot begin to list the multitude of flaws in a new, science-fiction comic, “Starstruck”.
I can’t summarize its plot. Its own synopsis for the third issue alone is over 500 words long. The writer must have thought that throwing every good idea into the pot must make delicious stew. What she created was an unintelligible, confused mess of misdirected cleverness, sorry puns, stereotyped characters (and too many of those), and enormous, transparent clichés.
Especially irritating is the ability of all of her characters to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Their responses to situations are simply inappropriate, like someone telling a sexual joke at a graveside service for their mother. Their emotions don’t match their circumstances, either.
Even inanimate objects ‘ham-it-up’ as everything in the comic seems to shout: look at how clever I am! A message sent between two women is called a “Mammygram to Mama San”. A sect is named the “Cloistered Order of the Goddess Uncaring”. The list of such abuses is too long to repeat.
Michael Kaluta's beautiful art is the only thing holding this lump of space grue together. I can’t imagine how he followed the script, and stand in awe that he almost, but not quite, made visual sense out of this gobbledygook of words.
The only thing that befuddles me more is why he ever drew “Starstruck”. His time would have been better spent doodling on bar napkins.

Filipino comics artists
By Mark Allen
Quick, how many Filipino comics professionals can you name? If I caught you flat-footed, don’t let it bother you; a relatively short time ago, I would have stuttered and stammered quite a bit coming up with one or two “komikeros”, or Filipino comics artists.
And, while it may not necessarily be knowledge applicable to every day life in general, it is interesting to know that the U.W. comics industry has been influenced by a fair number of Filipinos.
In the early 1970s, the work of Nester Rodondo, Tony de Zunaca, Alfred Alcala, and others graced the pages of some of D. C. Comics publications, wowing readers.
During that time, D. C. even sent editors to the Philippines to recruit artists.
One thing many of these artists have held in common is incredible talent. And, since great comics work is what this column is about, I want to pass on to you a couple of good resources dealing with such a matter.
Komikasa is one such website. Focusing mainly on short bios and sample art, the site also sports links to artist’s home pages. Komikasa sports a very simple and easy-to-use format, with artists catalogued from A to Z.
A similar yet more lavish site is Gerry Alanguilan’s Komikero comics. Most interesting about this web site is the online edition of The Philippino Comic Art Museum, which contains samples of some of the best comics this reviewer has ever seen, as well as in-depth artist bios. Well worth checking out.
Both are recommended for those who enjoy beautiful comic art and history on comics.
Since we’re on the topic of comics history, another worthwhile site is Lambick.net. Named after Europe’s first and oldest comic boo, the web site sports online exhibitions, a newsletter about comics world-wide, an online store, and “Comiclopedia”, which boasts biographies and artwork of more than 5,000 comics artists. The most extensive comic encyclopedia I’ve seen, it is recommended.

A creek on the Timbarra Plateau, New South Wales - habitat of the Stuttering Barred Frog (Mixophyes balbus).
While normally inhabiting rainforest, at higher elevations the Stuttering Barred Frog also occurs in heathy montane woodlands and open forest where it breeds in brisk flowing streams. I found several individuals calling from this section of stream, and this was the first time I had encountered this species in habitat other than rainforest.
dear fearful pickpockets, i can hear you playing yr. fuzzy radios underneath yr. blankets at night; dear weary barricades, tired of grabbing on to anything you can get yr. hands on, i know how it feels to be wearing (such) awkward uniforms. so please (pretty please) gather yr. shards and beloved rags of hearts and mend them into the most sincere parade.
so take care, ye careful stranger, ye faithful daydreamer or drunk; these justified days are terrible as well.

An endangered frog in NSW, Australia. Found in rainforest and wet, tall open forest in the foothills and escarpment on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range.Outside the breeding season adults live in deep leaf litter and thick understorey vegetation on the forest floor.
* Feed on insects and smaller frogs.
* Breed in streams during summer after heavy rain.
* Eggs are laid on rock shelves or shallow riffles in small, flowing streams.
* As the tadpoles grow they move to deep permanent pools and take approximately 12 months to metamorphose.

When contemplating 'Stutter', i asked the only person i know who knows about this, my sister, a speech pathologist.
From her description of the struggles that face people with a stutter, i tried to capture a picture that would symbolise the frustration that comes with knowing exactly what you want to be able to say, and not being able too.
This shot is a single exposure, and contains both the jagged movement of the camera and the act of the mouth screaming to be heard.
