Wow what a week! We had an absolutely brilliant weekend at the Wedding Fair, Bluewater. It was lovely to meet so many new Brides plus heaps of excited Bridesmaids, Mother of the Brides and many a happy Groom too! Over the three days we also got the chance to catch up with many of our Facebook and blog followers who also came to say hello.
We ran a competition over the weekend to win our services and have picked our lucky winner. We're so looking forward to working with them to plan a fabulous wedding. Plus if you asked us for a quote and haven't received it yet do drop us an email. Joanne is always telling me off about my terrible handwriting and it seems I'm not alone as we're having trouble reading a few email addresses given to us. We haven't forgotten you, we just can't reach you, so please drop us a line!
All that leaves us to say is a huge thanks to the organisers of the fair especially Matt, Jenna and Laura who were absolutely fantastic and went all out to give happy couples a brilliant show.
Happy Planning!

The Android stack is based on an "open Linux kernel," the OHA said. It also includes a full set of mobile phone application software, in order to "significantly lower the cost of developing and distributing mobile devices and services."
The stack appears to have been created by Android, a mobile phone software house that Google acquired just over two years ago. The Android stack's name is apparently a reflection of co-founder Andy Rubin's fondness for robots.
Rubin previously co-founded Danger, a software house that continues to provide software for the Sidekick "hiptop" marketed by T-Mobile.

Russell Peters on fame, beef with Aziz Ansari, and his chat with Jim Norton (Laughspin Interview)
International comedy star mega-star Russell Peters sat down with the hilarious Jim Norton yesterday (photo above) to talk about stand-up, foot fetishes, and the fall of hip-hop culture (did you know that Peters used to be an accomplished breakdancer?!). Peters is in New York City for his performance at the brand new Barclay's Center in Brooklyn this Saturday, a 15,000+ seat arena! He took questions from an intimate crowd of about 15 SiriusXM subscribers who were very excited to meet such a big name comedian. You'll be able to tune in today at 2 pm ET and 8 pm ET on the Raw Dog channel!
The two funny men discussed Peters' third arena tour and past specials. "I didn't like my last DVD [The Green Card Tour]," he recalls, commenting on a fight with his now ex-wife right before he took the stage. "You can see it in my eyes on that DVD. There's a blankness in my eyes." Peters appeared both humble and proud of his current status as one of the best-selling comedy acts in the world. He also shed some light on his beef with another Indian-American comedy darling, Aziz Ansari. Allegedly, the Parks and Recreation star disrespected him during a congratulatory handshake at an awards ceremony. He wanted to lash out "but the guy's so small you can't hit him," Peters said.
Peters' comedy is universal and relatable to all walks of life (well, life on two legs at least). This was visible in the diversity of the fans in the small crowd during the recorded interview. White, black, Indian, young, old, students, and suits all shared the same thrill of asking their own questions.
I sat down with Russell after the Norton interview for my own super-short lightning-round teaser interview:
What do you think about the diversity of your fans here today? You had all sorts of races. You had different ages. You had young. You had old. You had mega-old. I think there was a 70-year old guy in the second row!
I think I'm very fortunate to be one of the few comics who can draw such a broad demographic. You go and see some comics and there's only going to be white people. You see certain comics there's only going to be black people. You see certain comics and there will be black and/or white. But mine is black, white, Asian, Indian, and Other. I'm fortunate enough to have that sort of cross-section.
You were talking with Jim [Norton] about mainstream success. Jay Leno once said, "You're not famous until my mom has heard about you." You're a pretty big deal. You're about to play the Barclay's Center for about 15,000 people! How much more mainstream success could you want?
You know, at the end of the day, it's highly successful but it's still– still — not mainstream successful. Like, I walked into the Barclay's Center yesterday and every employee in there looked at me like they didn't know who I was. I was like, "My name is Russell Peters." They're like, "Do you work here?" "I'll be playing here Saturday. Does that help?" They all literally have the stunned look of, "I don't know who you are," on their face. My poster's all over the place. I don't understand. Do you not see things when you come to work?
It's the kind of stuff like that that makes me go, "Well, okay." But then there's the odd person, like out of all the employees, one will know me. I have a weird kind of success where it's highly successful yet still elusive. I can walk around and not get noticed here. But I could walk down to security and the security guard will be like, "Hey, I know you." I really do feel like I connect with John Q. Everyman.
So you'd like to do a sitcom or have a stand-out part in a movie? As a replacement for stand-up or complimentary?
I don't want to give up stand-up. It's something I love doing. It's something I need to do. I'll never give it up. It's one of those things where you want to add to it. After doing it for so long, you want to expand. DJ's want to become producers. Actors want to become directors. It's one of those things that feels like the natural progression for you.
Do you think that cycle comes back around? Where the comic then wants to act, then also write or direct, produce, then back around to performing on stage?
A lot of guys go that way because they stop performing. I don't want to stop performing. I want to be able to latch onto all those other things, too. I want to be able to perform just as much as I always did. I mean, maybe if the film and TV stuff picks up I may not be able to go on the hardcore tours that I've been going on. But on my nights off, I would still drop in at comedy clubs.
You'll always want to be one of those guys, at the least, who drops in at a place like the Cellar, or the Comic Strip, or the Laugh Factory–
Let me tell you a funny story about the Comic Strip. In 2005, I sold out the Apollo in Harlem. I played it. It was like 1,500 people. It was amazing. It was on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, I went over to the Strip. I had been doing comedy for 16 years at this point. And the lady that runs it made me have someone vouch for me to get on the open mic. So I go on. I did my five or six minutes. And I did me: I talked to the audience, I did my bits. Then she comes up to you after and she critiques you. She's like, "Well, I don't like my open mikers talking to the audience. And I guess if you come back, maybe I'll put you on again."
She had no idea who you were.
No idea. I'm like, "I just did the Apollo." I didn't say it, but in my head I'm like, "I just sold out the Apollo. I've been a stand-up for 16-fucking years. You're going to tell me that I'm not good enough to be on your open mic?!" I just said, "Okay."
If you want to hear the discussion between Russell Peters and Jim Norton (and you should), the special will air Friday, Nov. 9 at 2 pm ET and again at 8 pm ET on SiriusXM. The special will also be available on SiriusXM On Demand for subscribers listening via the SirusXM Internet Radio App or online at siriusxm.com.
And if you're in the tri-state area, tickets are still available for Peters' show at the Barclay's Center this Saturday!

This salad is one of my favorites and is super easy to throw together for an easy meal. It's also very delicious served in lettuce or tortilla wraps! I used a bottle of Asian sesame dressing, but the salad would probably be even tastier if you made your own dressing. If I don't care about the salad being healthy I throw in a ton of uncooked Ichiban noodles…so bad but sooo yummy.
What you need:
- 1/2 cup of grated carrot
- One cooked chicken breast ( I marinated it in teriyaki)
- 1 tbsp of fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp of sliced almonds or sesame seeds.. or cashews! mmm
- 1 cup of lettuce
- 2 cups of coleslaw greens (shredded cabbage)
- 1/2 cup of wonton strips
- 3 tbsp of Asian sesame dressing ( for a great recipe click here )
- dash of pepper
- 1/4 cup of green onion
Combine everything and toss! Enjoy.

No holiday in Croatia is complete without a visit the Plitvice Lakes National Park
Visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park
Amongst the forested hills of Croatia's hinterland lies this breathtaking collection of sixteen lakes, connected by almost 20km of paths and bridges that take you through the forests, across the lakes and near the waterfalls.
Over the course of thousands of years, the water running down the limestone hills created natural dams, through a process called karstification. This slowly reshaped the landscape, creating beautiful lakes, rapids and waterfalls, a process which continues to this day.
The forests and the lakes of this UNESCO World Heritage site are home to a variety animal species, from wolves and bears to many types of rare birds and fish. Visitors do not have to worry though, as the potentially dangerous animals stay far away from the areas of the park that are open to the public. After all, they are more afraid of us than we are of them.
If you are planning to visit the park, you may want to have a look at the various trails that you can choose from. Each trail will lead you through a different area of the park and, depending on the amount of time you have available, you can choose a trail that is right for you. You don't necessarily have to follow a trail. You can plan your own route through the park and, as long as you follow the existing paths, you will not have to worry about getting lost at all.
Park entrances and opening hours
The park has two main entrances, entrance number one (Rastovača) and two (Hladovina) and both entrances offer a large parking place where you can park your car for 7 Kuna per hour. Plitvice Lakes is open daily from 8am throughout the year. The closing time depends on the season; in the winter the park usually closes at 4pm and in the summer at 8pm.
The Upper and Lower Lakes
The Upper Lakes
Plitvice Lakes is divided between the Lower Lakes and the Upper Lakes, separated by the 3km long Lake Kozjak. You can easily explore either the lower or the upper part of the lakes in half a day, and both parts in one day.
The scenery of the Upper Lakes is somewhat wilder than the Lower Lakes, and many people find the Upper Lakes more spectacular. Maybe this also has something to do with the fact that you can walk over the waterfalls via wooden bridges and see the water foaming and hear it roaring beneath your feet. Here you will find a lot of wooden footbridges running across the lakes.
The Lower Lakes
The Lower Lakes are squeezed between steep cliffs, forming a gorge and offering an abundance of grottoes and caves. The wooden bridges here are right at the water level. Even though most people agree that the Upper Lakes are more interesting to visit, the Lower Lakes receive more visitors. This is due to the fact that the park's tallest waterfall, the Veliki Slap, is located in the Lower Lakes and many people who can only visit part of the park decide to see the Veliki Slap.
Choosing a trail
If you choose to enter the park via entrance 1 (near the Lower Lakes), you can choose between trails A, B, C and K. If you enter via entrance 2 (near the Upper Lakes), you can choose between trails E, F, H and K. The shortest trail will take about 2 to 3 hours to walk, and the longest trail about 6 to 8 hours.
An electric boat shuttles visitors between the Upper and Lower Lakes, allowing you to take a 20 min. break from walking and enjoy the scenery from the water (see the dotted line between P2 and P3 on the map). There is also a short, 5 min. boat ride (see dotted line between P1 and P2 on the map) that takes you from one side of the lake to the other.
Besides these two shuttle boats, there is also a bus that runs back and forth between the upper and the lower lakes (see dotted line between St1, St2 and St4 on the map). Using the shuttle boat and shuttle bus is included in the entrance ticker price.
Here is an overview of what you will see on each of the trails:
From entrance 1:
- Trail A – The Lower Lakes (2/3 h.)
- Trail B – The Lower Lakes plus both boat rides over lake Kozjak (3/4 h.)
- Trail C – The Upper and Lower Lakes, plus long shuttle bus ride and long boat ride (4/6 h.)
- Trail K – The Upper and Lower Lakes, without shuttle bus or boat ride (6/8 hours)
From entrance 2:
- Trail E – The Upper Lakes, plus shuttle bus ride and short boat ride (2/3 h.)
- Trail F – The Lower Lakes, plus shuttle bus ride and both boat rides (3/4 h.)
- Trail H – The Upper and Lower Lakes, plus long shuttle bus ride and long boat ride (4/6 h.)
- Trail K – The Upper and Lower Lakes, without shuttle bus or boat ride (6/8 h.)
Ticket prices:
- November/March: adults 55 Kuna, children 35 Kuna
- April /June & September /October: adults 110 Kuna, children 55 Kuna
- July/August: adults 180 Kuna, children 80 Kuna
- Children under the age of 7 can visit the park for free
Other useful information:
- Dogs are allowed in the park but must be kept on a leash
- The wooden bridges and walkways in the park do not have rails
- The park is not suitable for people with walking difficulties
- It is advised to wear comfortable shoes
- You can bring your own snacks and drinks but please help keep the park clean
- It is not allowed to swim in the lakes

I chew on sand in your poem.
Reading your poem won't get my heart moist.
Why don't you have a date?
Try to dip yourself deep in love.
Then your poem will get al dente with some moisture.
and make the small chest of a woman pound.
The poet who is looking around;
That flower garden was a mirage?
The poet who is crossing the desert;
built an oasis, but the material is only sand.
The flower garden is a hologram that came across the Pacific.
Maybe it is my hallucination;
Can I cross this desert
If I walk and walk and walk again while
chewing and chewing and chewing again the poems I wrote
when I was floundering deep in love?
I chew on sand in your poem.

Faced with the one of the most stringent nutrient limits in Minnesota and seven years to comply, the City of Detroit Lakes is making long-range plans for their wastewater treatment facilities. Find out what they are planning to do and why.
Like many cities, the City of Detroit Lakes is negotiating a complex nexus of aging infrastructure, population growth, new regulations, funding concerns and environmental considerations.
It's not easy.
"Finding the best solution for any given challenge has more variables than a generation ago," says wastewater engineer Susan Danzl. "The truth is, everything is connected. We have a responsibility, and an opportunity, to plan infrastructure that positively impacts current and future citizens — and the world."
For Detroit Lakes, this means developing a long-term wastewater facilities plan that addresses aging infrastructure and accommodates growth throughout the next few decades, while considering user rates and available funding.
It also means further protecting the local water's beneficial uses — like fishing and swimming — by reducing nutrient loads to extremely low levels.
"Technology will play a key role in meeting a reduction of this magnitude."
— Susan Danzl, PE
In 2013, a regulatory agency dedicated to protecting Minnesota's many water resources, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), directed the City to decrease the phosphorus content of the wastewater effluent in order to preserve area water quality.
Specifically, a study conducted by the MPCA revealed phosphorus levels from various sources were affecting a nearby body of water, Lake St. Claire, that was placed on the impaired list due to high levels of excess nutrients. The nutrients were causing algal blooms.
As a result, the City of Detroit Lakes was faced with a new Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), a regulatory term describing the maximum amount of a pollutant that a body of water can receive while still meeting water quality standards.
The City would need to reduce the phosphorous entering Lake St. Claire. Not by just a little, in fact, but by 94 percent — from 1 milligram per liter to .066 milligrams per liter, which is the concentration equivalent to the mass load limit the City received in their discharge permit at future projected flows.
"There are other cities in Minnesota facing similar limits, but this is one of the lowest in the state," says Jessica Hedin, PE, who assisted in developing the long-range wastewater facilities plan.
The low limit comes from guidelines established at a national level by the EPA. These guidelines are currently being handled by each state individually. In Minnesota, this took the form of two key regulations.
"The question now is how do we find the most sustainable, most reasonable way to comply?"
— Jessica Hedin, PE
Arriving first, in 2008, were the Lake Eutrophication Standards. Then, in 2014, an additional regulation came into effect, called the River Eutrophication Standards. Combined, these standards are driving change in the wastewater treatment industry and others.
In fact, efforts were made to overturn these significantly low nutrient limits, but were recently denied by the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
"The question now is, how do we find the most sustainable, most reasonable way to comply?" says Hedin.
What could the City of Detroit Lakes do to meet the stringent wastewater regulation and, while they are at it, serve the community far into the future?
SEH wastewater professionals assisted the City in looking at the options and identifying the most cost-effective approach to meet the limits. Alternatives included:
Looking at the alternatives side by side, they discovered that costs associated with moving the facilities or discharge were high. The proposed long-range plan involves leaving the plant and discharge where they currently are, but getting more serious about treatment.
How do you move from one milligram per liter to .066 milligrams per liter?
To meet the extremely stringent nutrient limit at the current location, the City would have to incorporate a range of new and emerging technologies.
"However the City decides to approach the solution, technology will play a key role in meeting a reduction of this magnitude," says Danzl.
According to Danzl, a combination of innovative wastewater technologies and processes can be implemented in tandem in order to reduce nutrient load to low levels, including enhanced tertiary processes coupled with biological nutrient removal.
As it progresses with its wastewater treatment facilities and prepares for the next few decades, the City of Detroit Lakes Public Utility will continue to serve as a role model for other communities affected by extremely stringent nutrient load regulations.

From CERN ALICE: "QGP: 17 years after the public announcement…"
31 January 2017
Virginia Greco
Interview with Luciano Maiani, DG of CERN from 1999 to 2003, who gave the announcement talk of the discovery of QGP at the SPS.
About 25 years after its first theoretical prediction, the new state of matter called quark-gluon plasma (QGP) was observed at CERN's SPS. The public announcement was made on the 10th of February 2000 by Luciano Maiani, Director General of CERN back then. At the event organized by ALICE to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the first heavy-ion collisions at the SPS, Maiani gave his account of this piece of history of physics.
We had an interview with him after the seminar.
After one year of mandate as DG of CERN you had the honour and the responsibility to announce that evidence of the existence of QGP had been found at the SPS. How did you live these happenings?
At that time I was not an expert in heavy ion physics, because I hadn't worked in the field. Nevertheless, I was aware of the phase transition issue and of the two existing visions about what happens to nuclear matter at very high temperature. On one side there was the theory that matter would break down into a gas of quarks and gluons (and temperature could be freely increased), on the other side the model of Hagedorn about the existence of an upper limit of the temperature reachable, which could be estimated from the hadron spectrum to be 170-180 MeV.
With the development of QCD it was possible to combine these two models. In particular, in 1975 Nicola Cabibbo and Giorgio Parisi suggested that the Hagedorn limit temperature is just the critical temperature of a phase transition from a gas of hadrons, made of confined quarks, to a gas of deconfined quarks and gluons (the QGP). These works had convinced the experts in the field.
When the moment came to decide whether to make a public announcement about what the SPS had found, I discussed with many of the people involved, such as Claude Detraz, who was Director for Fixed Target and Future Programmes during my mandate, Reinhard Stock and Hans Specht. After examining the data and collecting opinions, I concluded that we had convincing signals that what we were observing was indeed the quark-gluon plasma.
But the public announcement was cautious, wasn't it? Was there still some doubt?
I think that the announcement was quite clear. I have the text of it with me, it reads: "The data provide evidence for colour deconfinement in the early collision stage and for a collective explosion of the collision fireball in its late stages. The new state of matter exhibits many of the characteristic features of the theoretically predicted Quark-Gluon Plasma." The key word is "evidence", not discovery, and the evidence was there, indeed.
In the talk I gave at that time I also described the concept of quark deconfinement using an analogy with the snow on the Jura Mountain, which I particularly like. We can consider a quark as a skier: when the temperature is not very low, on the mountain there are only patches of snow in which the skier can move. When the temperature decreases and the snow increases, the skier can move along bigger and bigger spaces, up to a point where he or she can freely sweep long distances. The same can be said for a quark confined in a hadron (the patch), which becomes free when temperature increases.
Of course at that moment the idea still popular was that we were dealing with a phase transition to a gaseous state in which quarks and gluons would be asymptotically free. Later RHIC showed that the situation is more complicated and that this new state is much more like a liquid with very low viscosity rather than like a gas.
The announcement came just a few months before the start of the programme of RHIC. Were there some polemics about this "timing"?
The Solenoidal Tracker at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)
We were almost at the conclusion of a long and accurate experimental programme at the SPS, so making a summing up was needed. In addition, as I said, we thought there were the elements for a public announcement. And this has been proved right by later experiments.
Somebody thought that it would make RHIC, which was going to enter in operation, appear useless. But that was not the case, since much more was left to study. Indeed in the same announcement talk I said: "the higher energies of RHIC and LHC are needed to complete the picture and provide a full characterization of the Quark-Gluon Plasma".
In your opinion, what is the future of this branch of research?
Well, there are still many open problems, things that need to be studied further.
It is very important to explore the properties of this new state of matter and the connected phenomena, to get a more precise physical picture of the new state.
Personally, I think that there is also another possible line of research in this field: to study the production of those exotic hadronic resonances that are not included in the scheme of baryons and mesons (i.e. three quarks or quark-antiquark structures). These resonances have been observed in CMS and LHCb in pp collisions, and it would be interesting to study how they are produced in heavy-ion collisions. It could give us indications about what these objects are, tell us if they are molecules made of colourless hadrons or new states which are configurations of quarks and antiquarks (different from mesons) that include subcomponents connected by colour bounds.
ALICE could provide an important contribution to this research. It is not easy to observe such exotic states in heavy-ion collisions but I think it is worth trying.

A Piece of a Fantasy About a Strict D/s Relationship (NSFW)
Yes, I know, life without me is horribly boring. You yearn for my wisdom and… No? Oh. You're getting on just fine without me. Okay. Well, anyway, I am trying to move on. So I will try to do something fun. Which means it is time for a warning. This post is Not Safe For Work. Within are naughty words and sexual situations. If you don't like that sort of thing, then don't read this post. Also, this fantasy involves Dominance/submission, and a some of the other parts of BDSM as well. If you do not want to read about a male dominant disciplining a female submissive, then go elsewhere for entertainment. You have been warned.
– – – – –
She was waiting, alone in the discipline closet, kneeling, naked, wrist and ankle cuffs all locked together. She was still in her probationary training period. She had not finished all her chores on time, and she had accidentally not closed the jug of bleach which had then spilled bleach into the dark laundry. When her Master had returned home, he had been very upset. He had frightened her with his calm and quiet anger. He had said very little. He had grabbed her hair and pulled her to the discipline closet. He had used padlocks to secure her wrist and ankle cuffs to one another. "Think about how you could have done better," he had said in a calm whisper with his mouth at her ear. "And whether you want to remain. And how grateful you should be that I have not simply thrown you out already."
She had known he was a hard Master when he had agreed to take her on. And she had agreed to all of his demands for her submission. He had explained that during her probationary period, he could throw her out for any reason at all, and she could leave for any reason at all. She had tried to explain to him the urgent need for submission and rules and discipline that she felt, and he had told her that he did not believe her. No one wanted those things anymore, he had told her. He had told her he doubted she would last the full ninety days of the probationary period. He had told her he doubted she would last for ten of the probationary days. But he had accepted her all the same.
She had made it to day thirty-two before the events that had led to her now being in the closet. She had been just finishing up her last chore of sweeping the driveway when her Master had returned home. That had been bad enough. Chores were to be completed before he returned. Not after. But when he had found out that she had ruined several of his dark colored shirts, that had been the moment his calm went from reassuring to frightening. He had clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes. He had silently stared at her before grabbing her hair. She had not resisted his pulling her to the discipline closet. But she had not expected his calm.
Before, there had been spankings, some flogging and even a caning. Always with his loud voice telling her to do better. This time, with the soft and calm whispered words, she had been frightened of him for the first time.
The discipline closet was a converted linen closet. With the soundproofing, the room was just large enough for her to kneel in. She had been caught once leaning against the wall, and that had earned her more punishment. There was no light in the closet and she could hear almost nothing from outside the closet. The room had seemed cruel at first, but she had come to find it a place of calm, where she could think without distractions. Sometimes, when he was away, she would kneel in the closet on her own, just to center herself and remind herself why she was there.
Waiting for him to open the door of the discipline closet always seemed to take longer than it really did. So she did not know how long she had been inside the closet when he at last opened the door and removed the locks holding her cuffs together. She was facing the wall as he did it, but she felt that his angry calm was still upon him. He said nothing as he removed the locks. And he let her remain kneeling for several silent moments before telling her to get out and follow.
She backed out of the closet on her hands and knees before standing and walking quietly behind him. He walked to the den and sat down on his large recliner. He snapped his fingers and pointed at his feet. She knew what this meant, and immediately knelt down before him. She leaned forward and put her arms behind her back with her wrists crossed.
"What did you do wrong?" His voice was calm, as if this was an ordinary conversation.
"I did not finish the chores on time, and I did not secure the bleach bottle, resulting in your shirts being ruined. I am sorry-"
"Did I ask if you were sorry?"
"No, Master."
"You are still in a probationary period. Explain why I should keep you."
"I have no reason beyond that I want to remain, and I know that is not good enough, Master."
"Hm." He was quiet long enough for her to start to worry about what he was thinking. "You are trembling. Why?"
"I am afraid, Master."
"Afraid of what?"
"Afraid that I have messed up so badly that you will discard me."
"I do not own you. Why do you say 'discard'?"
"Because that is how it will seem to me if you throw me out."
"Could you not easily find someone else to serve?"
"None who are like you, Master."
"I am in no mood for flattery."
"I only answer as honestly as I know how, Master."
"Hm. Perhaps I have not been mean enough to you. Or are you one of those who find pleasure in being disobedient?"
"No, Master."
"You are still trembling."
"Yes, Master. I am still afraid."
"You have no reason to keep me, Master. You will discard me, and I will have failed. And I will be lost, Master."
"Lost? Why?"
"Because your instruction and rules give me structure."
"Of course they do. But you could find someone else to give you rules. You could join the military if nothing else."
"It would not be the same, Master."
"They are not Master. You are Master."
There was a long silence. She began to feel ache in her arms and back. But she dare not move.
"What should your punishment be?"
"Whatever Master believes is sufficient."
"And if I say you are to be spanked and thrown into the street just as you are?"
"No…" she whimpered as she began to cry. "I am sorry, Master. I mean that I would accept it."
"Why did you say no?"
"Because I want to serve you, Master."
"Then why would you accept the punishment?"
"Because you are Master. I submit to your will."
"And if I simply beat you day after day?"
"Then you will have stopped being Master, and I will leave."
"Oh, I see. You get to decide who I am."
"No, Master."
"Then explain yourself."
"You are Master. You would not beat me day after day. If you did, you would not be you. And I would leave, because I desire to serve only you."
"Clever answer."
There was another long silence, and she began to whimper from the pain of the ache in her arms and back.
"For not having your chores done on time, you will have a spanking, and no orgasm today. For ruining my shirts, your funds will be used to buy me new ones, you will be left in the discipline closet while I go out for the evening, and no orgasm for the rest of the week. That is, of course, provided you can do a sufficient job of begging me to let you remain."
"Yes, Master. Thank you, Master." She stretched out her arms and put her hands beside his feet. She tried to remember all the things she thought to say while she was in the closet.
"I apologize, Master, for failing to get my chores done on time and for ruining your shirts." She took a deep breath. "I know I am not what you would have me be, Master, but I can become what I should be with your guidance. I have been a bad girl, and I deserve your punishment. And I thank you for caring enough to punish me so that I will not make the same mistakes again. I am still learning, Master, and have so much more to learn from you. My greatest desire is to serve you and to hopefully please you someday, Master. If you allow me to remain, I will improve. If you cast me aside, I will flounder and be lost as a ship without rudder or sails. You are Master whether or not I serve you. But my joy is to serve you, and to be discarded would be my despair. Please, Master, let me remain. Please, Master, have mercy upon me. Let me remain your servant. There is nothing I will not do-"
The end of her sentence was turned into a gasp as she felt him grab her hair and pull her head and torso up. His pants and underwear were at his ankles as he stood before her. She had no chance to finish her sentence because the glans of his erect cock was suddenly pressed to her mouth. She let it slide past her lips and began to suck on his cock as he began to fuck her face. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she served her Master. She swallowed stiff cock down her throat. Her head was held in place by his strong hands holding her hair. She braced herself by holding his thighs with her hands as he fucked her mouth swiftly.
He pulled his cock out of her mouth and held her head so that his glans was millimeters from her face. "Finish it with your hands," he commanded. "Yes, Master," she replied as she brought her hands to his cock. She stroked him only a few times before she was rewarded with a face full of his cum. She stroked and milked until she could get more semen from his cock. His cum dripped from her face to her chest, and she smiled up at him.
"Thank you, Master," she said happily.
"You are learning, little one. Now off to the closet."
"Yes, Master. Thank you, Master." She crawled backwards before standing and walking to the discipline closet. She knelt down and pulled the door closed behind her. She was smiling and happy. She had pleased her Master.

Yes, the entire situation is consensual. Neither person in the story has been coerced into doing anything they do not want to do. And frankly it ended differently than I thought it would. Also, this has been composed in a single sitting. No proofreading has been done yet, so forgive what are probably many errors, and feel free to point them out. I am not too proud to be shown where I made mistakes.
Anyway, I hope you liked it. If not, well, I intend to have something a bit lighter posted by tomorrow. Maybe you will like that instead.

It's wonderful to have you back. I enjoyed this story. It seemed cathartic. I like that you're varying the stories. This one definitely satisfies a sub's need for discipline.
I'm surprised no one has left you comments indicating their interest in being or becoming your good girl. Or is that just not done? I'm not sure of the age group of the majority of those who read your stories and whether that's just not a 'classy' thing for women to do, because I'm assuming they're women and not girls. I'm sorry, I'm rambling but that just surprised me. I'm 19 and probably in some peoples view too little or immature to be on a blog like this but I expected to see comments such as that and didn't so it was a tad surprising for me. I'm basically repeating myself. Okay, that's all, I'm bringing this comment to a close, much to your relief, if you even get round to reading it.
ughh I don't know why my comments are being posted up more than once. Gosh that was probably my fault. I think I'll just stop commenting to avoid looking silly. 😦
Well I will go so far as to say it may well be the best bad idea.
Thank you, anyway for asking and for answering the questions you did.
Take care. (;
I'm being very honest when I say that as a student I feel fortunate that you are always a gentleman Dom. You give advice that is helpful not harmful and confusing like other Doms. I'm smiling again because you helped me through a rough episode.
Gosh no, cunnilungus sounds like a surgical procedure on a vagina.
Please, say it again.
Aha hopefully you got the reference.
If that's being a good girl then you shouldn't be unsure as to whether I earned it because based on that I have earned it. I was expecting something else entirely.
Awweh ):
I really want to know. Please. And I'd really like a private conversation. I have so much to ask you. Aw, that's not fair. How do I earn one?? You're such a tease. Have you ever had such a private conversation with someone who did earn it?
Actually, don't answer that. I think I deserve one. Ugh. I'm not doing a good job of convincing you, I know. At least tell me what it takes to 'earn' it.
You didn't say it's okay. I'm sorry. I was silly. I genuinely am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I don't mind that you don't wish to have a private conversation with me but please tell me it's okay and that you accept my apology. I don't want to leave it on a negative note. I'm seriously sorry.
Sweet dreams. Wet ones too.
Okay, no you don't have to tell me you accept my apology or that it's okay if it's not. But I really am sorry.
I felt the sub was so sincere. It almost made me cry when I thought of how badly she wanted to stay and serve her one true master. I was truly afraid he would throw her out. Nice work
Loved this one. I left me wondering about their relationship. I wonder what a life with this master would be like after his initial training period? … Hopefully a tad bit less harsh. But, none the less, I enjoyed reading this one a lot! 🙂
I want to read more. You're a great writer.
Hello.. Xajow
I really enjoyed the story as well. The intensity from him whispering was wonderful, as you don't have to yell to get the point across to people who want to pay attention, listen and do well. Also like that she has put herself into the discipline closet on her own to help center herself and remember why she was there. I find I need to do the same for myself at times, just to find my calm space again and collect my thoughts. (although I usually just close my eyes in quiet room and say my own little mantra) Life gets to you at times. I also just found your blog. YES!!! Lovely things you have here, if I might say. Keep up the great work. I'll be watching to see whats new.
and THANK YOU as well.

I walked across the Horse Field adjacent to Windmill Lane towards Long Wood where I was afforded a view of Ealing Hospital which is due to be axed by the NHS. My son Toby was born in the hospital and it serves thousands of people. The nearest hospital is the West Mid in Isleworth in which I have waited four hours to be seen in A&E, the same as Ealing but with one going would that mean an eight hour wait?
To the right is a shot of flats being built between St Margarets Road and Trumpers Way on the Grand Union. Every scrap of land is being built upon whilst services are threatened, why?
Below, high density housing on the site of the St Bernards alsylum adjacent to Ealing HospitaL Undoubtably many more such flats will be built on the Ealing Hospital site but what about Schools and um Hospitals?

October is rolling around very soon and we all know what that means… Its FALL time again! Sure, September 23rd was the first official day but really everyone ignores that until October!
Fall, that glorious season of college football, hayrides, pumpkin spiced lattes, and of course, beautifully themed weddings! Living in Southern California, we don't truly get that crisp fall weather the rest of the country gets but what better way to get into the season than to make your wedding feel like it?! Whether you're planning to go all out with your theme or just add subtle hints, we have some great ideas! Even if fall colors aren't your thing you can always utilize spray paint, glitter, and ribbon to make all of these fall elements the perfect colors for your big day!
Photograph | Jim Kennedy Photographers | Low Willows Wedding and Event Estate
Décor and Centerpieces | Make your wedding day feel like a nice autumn day by adding natural elements throughout your décor.
Gourds and Fruit– Add mini pumpkins or gourds into or around centerpieces to get that great pop of color. Fall fruits like pears and apples also add a great flavor to your setup.
Tree branches, Stumps or Dried Leaves– When we think of fall we think of trees with vibrant colors and soft piles of leaves all over the ground! These elements add a natural yet rustic feel to your décor.
Mason, Burlap, and Twine – No, these aren't funny names for potential groomsmen! Use layers of burlap and twine to create table clothes or bows around your ceremony spot and reception. Then use mason jars as miniature vases for your flower arrangement or even as gifts for your guests! You can buy all of these in bulk at your local craft stores!
Invitations | Invitations are the first aspect of your wedding that all your guests see! Here are some ideas on how to set the tone for an autumn wedding!
Colored Invitations– Color is hot right now! Seriously, "something borrowed, something blue;" Borrow the idea of a colored invitation! Use reds, oranges, or even a yummy buttercream to really spark your guests' attention! Who wouldn't want to go to a wedding with a kick-butt invite?
Leaf or Floral Prints– Use painted leaves or flower petals to create a vintage feel on your invitation. Plus, no two flowers are alike so each invite will be one-of-a-kind!
Burlap and Twine, AGAIN– Seriously, we can't get enough of the stuff! Use pieces of these elements to tie off your invitations and add a little something extra!
Photograph | Via The Wedding Invitation Boutique
Bridesmaids | Want a creative way to ask your besties to be apart of your big day? Try putting Starbucks instant latte mix in a mason jar with a twine bow and a cute little note asking them to be your bridesmaid!
Dresses – Choose dresses in great fall shades of reds, neutrals, blues, and dark greens. Variations of these colors might be garnet, burgundy, golden rod, spice, eggplant, violet, sage, and emerald!
Floral Crowns– These things are so in right now! Bouquets are fabulous but seriously, floral crowns are amazing! They add a great statement to each of your bridesmaids and really add something extra to your wedding look and photographs. Utilize natural colors and elements like wheat , twigs and leaves to make them fit with the fall look.

The Bride | What better way to tie in your entire autumn feel than add simple touches to your own look!
Lace: As said in the invitation section, you can seriously use antique lace throughout your entire wedding! Find a dress with lace accents or even made entirely of lace to really capture that vintage look on your special day.
Dress Color: White is traditional but who said you can't wear a blush gown? Even dresses in taupe, off white, eggshell, would be great for the fashion rule of thumb that you can't wear white after Labor Day!
Makeup: What do bonfires, jack-o-lanterns, and fall weddings all have in common? Smoke! Don't worry; we're just talking about a great Smokey eye. Ask your makeup artist how to really capture a Smokey eye with golden and brown fall tones that will really make your eyes, and your theme, pop!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday reiterated that Taiwan's status as an independent, sovereign state is a fact and the "status quo," after a high-level US Department of State official said the removal of the Republic of China (ROC) flag from several US government Web sites was in line with Washington's policy.
Ministry spokesman Andrew Lee (李憲章) said the government would continue to maintain this "status quo" and defend the nation's democratic values and way of life.
However, Lee said Taiwan-US ties have progressed significantly over the past years thanks to the US' Taiwan Relations Act, expressing confidence that bilateral relations would only grow stronger.
Lee made the remarks one day after US Senator Marco Rubio asked Susan Thornton, acting assistant secretary at the US Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, if she was aware of the disappearance of the ROC flag from the Bureau of Consular Affairs' Web site last month.
Thorton told a meeting of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations that she was aware of the flag incident, but said the Bureau of Consular Affairs' Web site was done through a contract and was not seen by her office.
"Following the publication, we don't recognize, of course, Taiwan as an independent country and we don't recognize the flag of the ROC as a country where we have official relations. Our policy is to not display the flag of the ROC on US official government Web sites," Thornton said.
When Rubio asked whether it was a new policy, as the flag had been displayed before, Thornton said that not displaying the ROC flag was not a new policy.
Aside from the consular bureau, the State Department and the Office of the US Trade Representative also removed the ROC flag in September last year and last month respectively.
In other developments, Admiral Harry Harris, commander of the US Pacific Command (USPACOM), said at a meeting of the House of Representatives' Committee on Armed Services on Wednesday that the US would continue to help Taiwan defend itself and that any attempt by China to force Taiwan into unification must be deemed unacceptable.
Taiwan's open economy and prosperous, free and democratic society "reflect the shared values between Taiwan and the US," Harris said.
While the US does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan, "we maintain a substantive and robust relationship with the people of Taiwan based on the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979," he added.
"In line with this policy, USPACOM will continue supporting Taiwan's efforts to develop a credible, resilient and cost-effective deterrent and self-defense capability," he said in a statement on the US military posture and security challenges in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
He said arms sales and training for the Taiwanese military are an important part of that policy and help ensure the preservation of Taiwan's democratic institutions.
As China's military spending and capability continue to grow every year, the ability of Taiwan to defend itself decreases, Harris said.
Against such a backdrop, "we must continue to help Taiwan defend itself and demonstrate US resolve that any attempt by China to force reunification on the people of Taiwan is unacceptable," he said.
USPACOM has supported extensive security cooperation activities with Taiwan in the areas of air and missile defense, maritime security, logistics support and joint operations and training, he said.

I checked my phone a little after six to my dismay that there were two text messages from the Buffalo Bills as I am signed up for text alerts.
The first one was of course the team announcing the signing of second round pick nose tackle Torell Troup.
However, the second one took me by surprise as the Bills announce starting middle linebacker Paul Posluszny will be limited the first couple weeks of camp due to offseason groin surgery.
My theory is that Poz tore hise groin while weight lifting. More specifically he most likely tore it while doing sets of squats.
Now that I think of it more announcements like about groin injuries won't be surprising as the new strength and conditioning coaches have forced players to start doing squats after years of not doing them, which strong safety Donte Whitner admitted to earlier this year.
In the end, hopefully Poz won't retear his groin during the season like free safety Jarius Byrd did.

Recommendation Letter – Things to Know
"A Recommendation Letter is a piece of writing, written in favor of someone by someone to someone."
A letter of recommendation is a request by a person, holding some authority, written to a person who is also an authority in another field or area for someone who is in need of the favor.The recommendation letter is of various kind, it can be:
- Employment Related
- Service Related
- A specific Program Related
- Admission Related
- Scholarship Related, etc.
A letter of recommendation is a way to tell that you are a potential employee for the company.Also, the letter of recommendation fills confidence in the candidate to perform better.
Letter of Recommendation
The content of the letter of recommendation should be showing your skills and points which help you in your new job.So, here are given some points which may help you in writing a good recommendation letter:
- Responsibilities and tasks of the employee
- The time period for which the employee had worked
- The skills, knowledge, creativity and intelligence of the employee
- Qualifications(foreign language, additional skills) of the employee
- Social ability of the employee
- Reason of the resignation/termination
A letter of recommendation builds your credibility in the company.Your work experience, accomplishment, and skills are something which is searched by an employer in the candidates.When the letter of recommendation is written in a good form, your employer comes to know that you are serious about the job.You can get this type of letter by telling your letter writer of the specific points you want to be highlighted in your letter.
When your employer reads about the appreciation that is made by your past employer, professor, or an authoritative person then a suitable environment is fixed for you in front of the employer.The positive points in your letter should be reflected in your personality and no exaggeration of the facts should be done in the letter of recommendation.Using positive words and phrases is a good idea.
Recommendation Letter Template
Many times it happens that the other applicants do not give any recommendation letter at all and that is where you have an upper hand.A letter of recommendation for the short term may not be very attractive but the presence of the letter will put you ahead of the pack.
Writing a recommendation letter is not an easy task.It shows the ability of the employee and also the reputation of the firm from which the employee is resigning, in the case of a job and company.In other cases like for scholarship, admission, inclusion in a team/committee, etc. the structure of the recommendation letter matters a lot.So, here is given some major points to keep in mind before writing one:
- The starting of the letter should be done with a standard letter-writing convention
- The referee should introduce himself(including qualifications of the referee) and how the referee know the candidate
- Give reasons, that how the candidate will be a suitable option(with some practical examples)
- The referee should testify
- At the end, the closing should be formal and the signature of the referee.

Edible garden landscapers following Permaculture principles.
Foodscaping or edible landscaping incorporates food into garden design. Its an all-encompassing way of growing a garden, feeding yourself, and making it look pretty. Grass and shrubberies are minimised to make way for berry bushes or other plants which yield fruits and vegetables which can mean lower bills at the grocery store. In contrast to having a backyard vegetable garden or raised bed for flowers or other enclosed or fenced-in space where fruits and vegetables are grown, foodscaping is more extensive, with implementation of edible foods into the landscape. Instead of just planting shrubs, trees, vines, grasses and ground covers, foodscaping involves adding edible plants that add interest, colour, texture and, of course, taste.
As a qualified permaculturist with 6 years experience I can assist you in creating a food garden or incorporating edible plants into your existing landscape.

A lack of visibility of different sexualities in the work environment could discourage others from coming out. And with fewer obvious role models for LGBTQ people, it could harm their chances of finding a mentor – an extremely useful career development tool for any aspiring scientist. "LGBT communities are lacking role models," says Patridge. LGBTQ students may feel more comfortable seeking out mentors similar to them. "The need to find someone of your own identity is something that we see in a lot of minority groups," says Yoder.

The Famous Formosan: The Man Who Invented a Nationby Mr Ghaz
The story was pure fantasy, invented by Psalmanazar and elaborated upon by the mischievous chaplain. But the bishop – and every one of his associates – believed every word. Almost overnight Psalmanazar became a celebrity.
Early in the 18th century a mysterious stranger captivated London's fashionable society with spellbinding tales of human sacrifice and cannibalism. He called himself George Psalmanazar, a native of the far-off land of Formosa. History knows him as one the greatest impostors of his age.
Aristocrats, churchmen, and scientists competed to wine and dine the strange young man, just to hear his stories. Formosa was an exotic land, and few could have located it on a map. Today it is known as Taiwan, an island in the China Sea.

Four Tips for Maximizing Your ROI on Employee Training
According to Edward E. Gordon, PhD. in his Trainingarticle titled "Training and Talent Development Regain Momentum," in 2017, employers spent 32.5 percent more on worker training than the year before, with total training spend amounting to $93.6 billion. This is unsurprising, since many companies are already having to retrain and upskill workers due to digital transformation, as well as the adoption of new technologies that are changing workers' responsibilities.
Of course, when your company invests in training your employees, you want to ensure that both employees and employer benefit from that training — and that requires a certain amount of planning. What follows are some tips to maximize your ROI on employee training:
- Offer training that aligns with business objectives. Before determining what training to offer, it's advisable to analyze your organization's skills needs, as Asha Pandey points out in her eLearningIndustryarticle "6 Tips to Maximize the Online Training ROI." You should select training that will provide the company with those skills and help move the organization forward.
- Identify employees who want to learn new skills and who will put them to good use. If you're not offering a department-wide training, you should select trainees carefully. The truth is that not everyone wants to learn all types of skills, so you need to select people who are enthusiastic about learning and who will benefit from the training in their daily jobs. It's also important to choose employees who are likely to stay with the company for a while — otherwise, an employee might leave and take the newfound knowledge to your competitor.
- Provide plenty of opportunities to put the new skills and knowledge to use. In order for your employees to retain what they've just learned, assign them projects or set them to work with technologies that allow them to practice what they've learned. If you're pre-training people on technology that hasn't yet been implemented in your company, it's wise to schedule the training as close as possible to the actual implementation as possible. Otherwise, they might not retain the new skills.
- Get employee feedback on the training. When your employees have had the opportunity to complete the training and put it into practice, get their feedback by means of a questionnaire or survey. This will help you improve future trainings.
When you prepare your employee training properly, your company can achieve a good ROI in the form of more in-house skills and knowledge that can help it advance. And at the same time, by providing the right training to the right employees, you can also achieve higher engagement, increase job satisfaction, and inspire more loyalty to your company.

I just wanted to update quick about my weigh in this morning, probably because I'm really excited about it. :) I lost 2.8 lbs this morning!! I'm now 1 lb. away from my lowest weight. I set a goal to lose 2 lbs this week since I gained last week and I was thrilled when I saw I had lost more than that.
Hubby has been working closer to home and so that means he gets home earlier. He's been working out with me after work! We went on another run last night and I was able to finish it again. Yay! I want to keep this up and lose those 20 lbs this summer, I'm 2.6 lbs. there. Looking good so far!
I hope to post more later on this week. Hope you're all having great weeks so far! :)

I know how difficult it is to come up with a good set of poses for your modeling shoot. So, I thought Id share this video to help you with your posing challenges.
Check This Video Yash Arts presents Model Photography. Girl Fitness Model Posing. Photoshoot Poses For Girls. Model Videos.
Once you've watched the posing video, take a look at my post below to get more information about model poses and photo sessions. I hope it helps you to look fantastic in your modelling pictures!
How To Model Pose Like a Professional – 6 Tips to Learning Good Poses for Modeling
Learning how to model pose is not that difficult but it does take time and practice. You'll find some great tips for posing for photographers in this quick tutorial.
As an aspiring young model, you've probably heard many times that no matter how you pose or what facial expressions you give, your photographs will turn out naturally beautiful.
But, remember there is one thing you need to always keep in mind. No matter how gorgeous you are, without the right modeling poses, your pictures will never be perfect.
Even though, there are a few female models who have the instinctive competence in posing for photographers spontaneously in front of a camera, most have to be taught proper techniques.
This is where a good professional photographer comes into the picture. They will give you many invaluable tips on how to model pose. Some of these may be as follows:
1. Model Posing Breathing Technique
Keep in mind how relaxed you look when you breathe naturally, so never hold your breath while the strobe lights are flashing.
2. Correct Posture Is A Must For Good Model Poses
When model posing, always keep your shoulders up and your back straight. Remember to flex your stomach muscles so your abdomen will appear more toned in your picture portfolio.
Bad posture is an imperfection many of us have, but it is a pitfall for models.
3. Bend Those Body Parts When You Model Pose
The placement of your arms and legs can either add to a photo or take away. So always make sure one arm or leg is bent, while the other one is straight during your performance in front of the camera.

4. Model Poses For Sitting
Model posing while sitting is very important and sometimes requires a lot of work. But, it will be worth it once you get that slimming effect by putting your weight on the back of one thigh.
It doesn't always feel natural during improvisation so, if you are uncomfortable, your pose still could look "right" for the viewer.
5. Use Different Facial Expressions For Modeling
It's great to have a beautiful smile, but just don't show those beautiful white teeth in every photo.
Add variety and excitement to your model photography shoot by creating different facial expressions such as a scowl, frown and maybe even a little laugh.
Pretend you are on stage at the theater and have fun with your movements.
If you are doing a session wearing a bathing suit along side other women posing in swimsuits, act as if you are having a great time at the beach. Your eyes will show it!
6. Great Posers Sometimes Look Away From the Camera
Don't always look directly into the camera lens unless the project or portfolio photographer tells you to.
You will be amazed at the great variety of model poses and the look you'll gain by looking to the side or tilting your head a bit.
Now when your photographer asks you what ideas do you have for a photo shoot, you'll know what he or she is talking about.
You can surprise him or her with all the knowledge you have gained from these model pose tips.
Okay, get in front of the camera and show your stuff!
Now that you've learned some basics of the model pose…

In Conversation: Tanya Tagaq
Kurt Gottschalk February 21, 2017
In Conversation: Tanya Tagaq
February 21, 2017
Tanya Tagaq's March 9 concert in The Appel Room as part of American Songbook will mark her third appearance at Lincoln Center. In 2009, the Inuk vocalist performed on a hot August day as part of Lincoln Center Out of Doors, and in 2013 she and her trio accompanied a screening of the 1922 silent documentary Nanook of the North in the David Rubenstein Atrium. Over the last eight years, New Yorkers have caught up to Tagaq's unique work, which grows out of the tradition of throat singing in her native Nunavut. Her energetic, haunting vocalizations have also been featured on recordings with Björk, the Kronos Quartet, and Mike Patton. Rolling Stone named her 2016 album Retribution one of the 20 best avant albums of the year. But to really experience her talent, you have to be in her presence.
Kurt Gottschalk: While your audience has grown in New York City, many people might not be sure what to call your music. What advice would you have for young performers who don't easily fit into any one mold?
Tanya Tagaq: For young performers, hopefully, eventually, people will begin to celebrate the individuality of your music rather than looking to you to provide something they've seen before. People who are brave and want to experience something new will be drawn to you. Celebrate your difference. Not everyone can be mac and cheese.
KG: You've had a fruitful relationship with the esteemed Kronos Quartet, who recently premiered your composition Sivunittini. How do you go about composing for an ensemble? What has working with Kronos meant to you?
TT: I love Kronos Quartet so much. Composing for them was one of the highlights of my career because David Harrington decided that instead of being an ingredient to someone else's stew, I could actually make my own stew. He believed in me. We went into the studio, and I did one vocal take for one viola and then did a second and a third and so forth until we had the composition for everyone. Because I don't read music, David hired Jacob Garchik to notate it, with specific bowing techniques for different sounds. It was a finely tailored language, and it was a huge honor to hear what came from my mind executed with instruments.
KG: In the past few years, you've received multiple Juno Awards, the esteemed Polaris Prize, and the Order of Canada. Has that recognition made it easier for you to speak out about issues confronting First Nations people? Did you make a deliberate decision to be more vocal because of your higher profile?
TT: Over the years we've been discussing these topics around every meal, every dinner table. Every country we go to, we learn about its political system. It's become more and more apparent that we don't need to be suffering so needlessly, and if we're not going to speak up about it then no one will. I lost my Canadian politeness and gained a little bit more bravado.
Tanya Tagaq, Jesse Zubot, and Jean Martin perform "Retribution." Published October 14, 2016, by CBC Music.
KG: What do you think people in the States don't understand about First Nations people? What message, if any, do you hope to bring to your New York audience?
TT: The number one thing people don't understand is the treaty system, the years of oppression, the land and resource grabbing that resulted in poverty that results in socioeconomic crisis. What do I hope to bring to my New York audience? Music. People tend to forget we're musicians. I don't go to New York hoping to teach people the ways of my people. I go to New York because people understand music there, and I don't have to put on airs.
KG: Do you have a fantasy collaboration or project?
TT: So many. Too many.
