Contrary to a couple reviews I read elsewhere online, Action Bar is very clean, very modern and 100% hot trade. First, I checked Haberlo and the Funny Carrot, the two adjacent to each other hustler bars. AWFUL. Basically the same ugly trash that has taken over Tabasco in Berlin. But Action Bar---WOW. Action is located in a basement just off trendy Kalvin Terz. in Ezerbeth. You have to look for the building number 42 and it has a rainbow flag and big "A" on the door and a blinking "bar" sign. It seems very new and modern so maybe it was remodeled. It has some connection with Bel Ami which is in nearby Bratislava. The live sex show is advertised as midnight; when you get inside the sign says 1am; and it actually starts about 1:30 am. The two performers were young porn stars I've seen in films. First was a nude dance by a muscle-bound guy, then live sex by two very good-looking guys. On it's website Action actually shows the two performers who will have sex on stage that week. They do kissing, stripping each other then mutual sucking followed by fucking. The sex show lasts about a half hour. Not only the performers but several other hustlers show up in the bar. There's a room with slings, etc and then two locked rooms you can have your "date" in. Many of the guys leave with customers after a sample in a room. Basically like Drake's in Prague.Cover is just 1000 HF, about $4. Drinks are cheap and they run a tab. There was a muscular very good-looking guy I wanted but he got snapped up as did a slender blond. So I don't know the rates yet. I'm sure there're less than Prague. One of the performers said something to me as I was leaving but not in English. He was a georgous dark-haired blue-eyed musuclar guy.The guys are about evenly divided between blond and dark hair. I'm here for a week so I'm sure I'll find out everything. Tomorrow night, Saturday, is "oral-academy" where customers have oral sex with the performers. 100% rock-hard large endowments. Again, $4 cover.

Good thing he's not a urologist.

Where is the description? Best regards, RA1

I guess the police have still been affecting the Soi Twilight clubs. It's now been 4 nights that only Thai boys have been allowed to work. This has affected business as not enough boys to do shows . Customers come in, look around and leave. Tonight there was a bit of easing up as only Thai boys could be on stage, but non-Thai boys could be in the clubs as long as they were fully dressed and were sitting in the audience. It was hard for boys to let customers know they were available , but some of them are darn good at it and got some dates. I was told they hope things will be back to normal in the next 2 days. My good friend is Vietnamese and was sitting with me. By the end of the night all 5 of his Vietnam friends that work there sitting with us. All trying to work me. I'm glad I've been around this a little bit, and can say no. I could have drained my bank account tonight. but it was a fun evening and hopefull for the boys, they will be able to start working again tomorrow.

OP-ED COLUMNIST How Hillary Is Winning MAY 9, 2015 Frank Bruni The New York Times AS fleetly as Hillary Clinton vacuums up the money, she piles up the paradoxes. She showed fatal weaknesses the last time she chased the presidency and her inevitability evaporated like a California puddle, but shes somehow inevitable all over again. Invincible, even. Journalists have to remind themselves daily not to type or say presumptive Democratic nominee before her name. Shes fashioning herself as someone uniquely attuned to everyday Americans while her husband fashions $500,000 speeches as amulets against the bill collector. Someones got to pay for the burrito bowls. And her Republican rivals convince themselves that Im not Hillary is their strongest argument and best bet, although the reverse holds true. At least for now, not being any one of them is her ace in the hole. The 2016 race in its adolescence is between the dependably messy, perpetually maddening spectacle of the Clintons and a party with a brand-decimating profusion of mad hatters like the two who announced their bids and grabbed the spotlight last week, Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson. Advantage: Hillary Clinton. Thats a clear takeaway from several surveys of voters released last week. They showed that despite her email shenanigans, despite the ethical muddle known as the Clinton Foundation, despite the growing confusion about whether the Hillary Clinton of 2016 will be of an ideological piece with the Hillary Clintons of yesteryear, voters will gladly take her, considering the alternatives. According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, she was six points ahead of Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio in head-to-head contests with either. She was 10 points ahead of Scott Walker. Inexplicably and rather alarmingly, she was only three ahead of Rand Paul. The mysteries of the American electorate are boundless. Meanwhile a New York Times/CBS News poll found that over the past month and a half, during which she weathered a veritable hurricane of negative news coverage, her favorability rating improved, and the percentage of voters who see her as a strong leader rose to 65 from 57. Nearly 80 percent of the Democrats surveyed deemed her honest and trustworthy. There are many explanations. For starters, the hurricane I mentioned was experienced as a drizzle, if that, by many Americans, who arent exactly riveted by political news. Inasmuch as they notice journalists pouncing on the Clintons, theyre apt to shrug. The substance of the accusations is eclipsed by the familiarity of the tussle. Its like lions on an impala: bloody, yes, but the natural order. And the Clintons are being accused of what? Greed? Theres plenty of that to go around. Just ask Huckabee, a self-styled man of God and slave to Mammon. As recounted by Trip Gabriel in The Times, Ron Fournier in the National Journal and Max Brantley in Salon, hes a case study in financial high jinks, a master class in shamelessness. He reportedly used the Arkansas governors office as a personal ATM, in Fourniers description, channeling public money toward private expenditures (a doghouse, Taco Bell) and accepting tens of thousands of dollars in highly questionable gifts, some from people who later received prominent political appointments. More recently he did an infomercial hawking dietary supplements as a diabetes cure, even though reputable physicians and medical associations call it poppycock. Only three of the following four adjectives correctly describe that decision: tacky, mercenary, irresponsible and presidential. Clinton benefits from not being Huckabee, who described Obamacares contraception provision as a big-government sop to women who cant control their libido, blamed an absence of God in schools for the deadly shooting rampage in Newtown, Conn., in 2012 and then proceeded to write a book with a title that put firearms on a comforting par with breakfast food. Run, dont walk, to pick up your copy of God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy. Clinton also benefits mightily from not being Carson, who has lumped together homosexuality and bestiality and has likened Obamacare to slavery, President Obama to a psychopath and the United States under President Obama to Nazi Germany. It is said that Carson is a talented brain surgeon. Im taking my cerebellum elsewhere if it ever comes to that. And Clinton benefits as well from not being Carly Fiorina, who also declared a candidacy for the presidency last week. When Americans look askance at professional politicians, it doesnt mean that they long for the polar opposite and are poised to award the presidency to someone who, in Fiorinas case, has never held elected office, routinely failed to vote in the past, bungled her role as a surrogate for John McCain in 2008, had a miserable showing in her 2010 race for the United States Senate against Barbara Boxer, and claims a business expertise thats long been in vigorous dispute. Her campaign will be powered by hubris, not logic. REPUBLICANS crow about their deep bench. And they do have some formidable candidates, including Marco Rubio, who is an anti-Hillary in ways that could indeed work for him, and Jeb Bush. But Rubio and Bush share the bench with an unruly crowd that pulls them and the party too far to the right. Republicans also take heart from their majority in the Senate and their greater number of governors. But voters behave somewhat differently in presidential elections than in other ones, which is one reason Wisconsin has remained blue even during Walkers red reign. The partys image hasnt gone through the intended upgrade after its defeat in 2012. According to the Times/CBS poll, just 29 percent of Americans now view Republicans favorably, though 43 percent feel that way about Democrats. That number is unlikely to improve much with the likes of Huckabee, Carson, Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum roaming Iowa and foaming at the mouth. Besides, these two words come into play: Supreme Court. I know voters whod give more consideration to Rubio, Bush, Chris Christie or John Kasich if they didnt fear the kind of jurist one of them might nominate at the behest of the religious right. And the next president could easily wind up filling two vacancies on the high court. That thought is the soil in which love for Hillary Clinton flowers. Its a prompt for people who otherwise suffer bone-wearying Clinton fatigue to focus on her unquestioned smarts over her questionable scruples, her experience over her i.o.u.s, her sturdiness over her slipperiness. Theres a case to be made for her, and theres motivation to make that case. In another recent poll, by CNBC, she was the preferred candidate of voters with a net worth of $1 million or more. Apparently they, too, have made peace with her. Or maybe they just recognize a kindred spirit. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/05/10/opinion/sunday/frank-bruni-how-hillary-is-winning.html?_r=0

Is there some reason to think Moonbeam has or had changed? Only in CA..... Best regards, RA1

Thanks for the post. Sounds like a lot of fun

They'd show up on somebody's meter, no? Maybe a hotel's or a farm's or a restaurant's? Unless, of course, they land in one of the areas in California that don't even have water meters. Like Bakersfield, Merced, and parts of Governor Brown's own Sacramento. In a recent and surprising step backwards, a California appeals court just ruled that tiered water pricing violates the state constitution. Most water districts and the Governor have vowed to pay the ruling no mind. The area where I live is one of the very few that has slightly above average reservoirs right now, but we're also getting mandatory cutbacks. I've been conserving so long, I doubt there's another twenty percent to cut. They usually exempt us bottom-sippers, but who knows as the Guv is spinning around like a sizzling Sufi.

Charlie, most of the problems you describe come from trying to address the water shortage through allocation rationing rather than price rationing. The water board does not exist, nor will one ever exist, that can efficiently allocate water between restaurants, front lawns, olive orchards, alfalfa farms, golf courses and bathrooms. For 'efficiently' above, please read 'with the least possible pain and damage'. Exacerbating the problem is that Cali, and the rest of the desert West, has stalwartly refused to (gradually) introduce price rationing for decades, all the while committing tens of billions of dollars to development predicated on plentiful, cheap water. A few years back I read up on this problem just out of curiosity. Any number of studies have shown that there is plenty of water out west if only it were efficiently employed on sane uses. Enormous amounts of water is used in agriculture on low value added, water hungry crops using obsolete irrigation methods. Hugh amounts are wasted for absurd urban purposes. Value priced water will cure both those sets of problems. You can have cheap water or you can have plentiful water (for any useful purpose) but you can not have both cheap & plentiful water. Each year that you guys refuse to acknowledge this truth only makes the situation worse. Or, I guess you could choose to have some folks in Sacramento try to figure out how to allocate water between hotels in Palm Springs and avocados in Central Valley. Good luck with that.

So, politics as usual? Best regards, RA1

I pretty much agree with the Iraqis about prayer before flight. We US pilots have a saying, when the weight of the paperwork equals the weight of the airplane, we must be legal to fly. It is thus we make our supplications to the gods at the FAA. Best regards, RA1

Whoa! I liked your post very much! Too back that I missed the clubs mentioned when I was in Budapest in 2013. Well, here is definitely another city that I will have to revisit! Do report back, and if possible in detail, if you manage to make it to witness and participate in the "ORAL ACADEMY!"

The possibilities of that ass pic! He looks like a euro-Mexican. I wish he'd been there when I was in Madrid last year. I did meet a gorgeous mixed black/white American student while there. Not a pro, but we spent a night together and played tourist. Simply stunning.
