I don't come out of my cave very often. Life's kept me running too fast to pause for very long. However, when I heard that Miss Saigon was attempting to make a comeback, it infuriated me enough to come out of my shell. I thought to write a long essay/rant listing the many reasons why I hate this musical, but there are members of our community who are far more eloquent. Instead, I opted to add my voice to the many who are speaking their own truths on Don't Buy Miss Saigon: Our Truth Project.
"A photo and story project to counter the racist, sexist, colonialist musical Miss Saigon, in our words and through our eyes. More info on dontbuymiss-saigon.com."
18MillionRising is hosting a petition as well as more information about the campaign.
As a Vietnamese adoptee, an Asian woman and as a Vietnamese American, Miss Saigon scrapes across my still healing identity. Old memories leap into the present every time I see these tired, old stereotypes replayed.
"Me love you long time, little girl?" I was in fifth grade when a high school student chanted this at me on the school bus.
"You probably don't want to know the truth. What if your mom was a prostitute?" said a family member.
While watching one of the many Vietnam War movies, cut to scene with prostitutes: "Hey, Sume, your mom's on tv!" says my ex-SO.
"You're should be grateful your dad saved you," said another, "If he hadn't, you would probably have ended up as a prostitute or dead."
I could go on and on right up to the present, because this stereotype is so ingrained in the heads of American society that the assumption is almost second nature. The default excuse seems to be, "Well, there were prostitutes in Vietnam during the war." Lame. That is a scenario that's been played out in almost every country that's had to deal with war.
As a young child, the stereotype was already being fed to me through movies, television and by my wonderful "white saviors" on a regular basis. When they wanted to "educate" me about "my people," the lessons always somehow involved how lucky I was not to be among them. I slowly internalized the sense of shame and the indoctrination of self-hate/guilt/gratitude took root. Some actually meant well, however, none of them were aware or understood that I viewed the world through TRA eyes. Friends and family may have viewed "my people" as "the other," but some part of me also saw myself as "other."
My environment didn't provide positive references to contradict all those negatives plus the ethnocentric, racist, stereotyped ideas were often packaged as cute, romanticized bundles which made them easier to digest. As a result, I built my identity around the way my environment viewed me which contradicted the way I was told to view myself. On one hand, I was "one of them" and expected to view myself as being the same as any other family member. On the other, I was suppose to be aware of my "lucky" status in being rescued from Vietnam and a people that promised nothing but prostitution and death.
In 2006, I wrote a piece for Nha Magazine which explains in more detail:
Stored in the very darkest corners of my mind is the picture of an embassy. A deflated American flag is being withdrawn from atop a flagpole. Scores of frantic men, women and children are crushed against the gates desperate to get out before the Viet Cong claim control of Saigon. Mothers are crying, holding their children high in the air amid the smells of smoke and diesel fuel pleading for someone to take them to safety. I hear the thumping of a helicopter over the cries of despair. It's the sound of angel-wings beating hope into the air, promising salvation if they could just get past the gates.
I left Vietnam five years before the end of the war but those images have become like memories. Since early childhood, scenes similar to the chaotic evacuation sequence in Miss Saigon have been beaten into my brain by television, movies and photographs. For most of my life, Vietnam was a war, Saigon an evacuation, Tet an offensive, and I had escaped it all.
Born in 1970, my caretakers at Hoi Duc Anh orphanage in Saigon referred to me as Le Thi Buu Tran before my father adopted me. He had just completed his second tour as part of the American occupation. When my adoption process was complete, I had a new American name. Before I'd reached my first year, all traces of my Vietnamese heritage had been erased except for my adoption papers and my genetics. As my father boarded a plane destined for the U.S., I'm sure he envisioned new lives for us free of the country and the conflict we'd left behind. Years later, he would recall how I wailed the entire flight from Saigon to Honolulu.
My new home was a small town in East Texas where I would grow up the lone Asian for the next decade. The population of little more than a thousand was mostly white with smaller African and Mexican American minorities. A set of railroad tracks served as a loose dividing line between black and white while brown lived mostly on the rural outskirts of town. Though I lived on the "white side" of town, I was at the bottom of the racial hierarchy as the only Asian, the only Vietnamese.
Like most children, my world in the beginning was very small and rarely breached the safe boundaries of family. That would change when in 1975 which also marked the end of the war; I began my first year of school. My first clue that I was different from other kids was finding my green card in my mother's purse. "Oh," she replied matter of factly, "you're adopted from Vietnam." It meant nothing to me at the time but would later become a source of shame and embarrassment as I learned about Vietnam and its people through the eyes of post-war America.
"Gook! Go back to Vietnam!" I was still in elementary school when classmates first screamed those words. They held little meaning for me other than the obvious insult intended. Their true meaning was beyond my understanding. The majority of my access to Vietnam or anything "Asian" came through movies, television, history lessons in school, war documentaries and "war stories" told by those around me. Aside from stereotypical portrayals of Asians in the media, movies like Uncommon Valor and Full Metal Jacket only deepened my negative perception of myself. Unconsciously, I would harbor a sense of shame until my early thirties for my nationality as well as my race.
Unlike today, there were no culture camps or adoptee support groups to lift me from my isolation and instill knowledge of and pride in my birth country. Adoptees were considered as "blank slates" upon their adoptions and little if any importance was given to national, ethnic or familial origins. Given the environment in which I'd grown, I probably would have turned away from such opportunities even if they had been available. My need to blend into my surroundings took precedence over my longing to know. Such pursuits would have only reminded me that I was an ethnic chimera belonging nowhere.
Around the time I turned ten, another family adopted an older boy from Vietnam. I'd heard the news through the grapevine of my little town and wondered what he'd be like. It seemed fate might not be so cruel after all. I would no longer be the only one and perhaps he would be at the very least a friend, a doorway to my lost heritage at most. When he finally arrived, I could only stare at him fascinated from afar. Maybe I'd just grown too use to suppressing my loneliness, to closeting my curiosity or had been too concentrated on trying to assimilate and forget. The result was that we didn't talk about either Vietnam, adoption or our experiences with racism and prejudice until almost twenty-seven years later. Our painful experiences closely paralleled yet we had suffered alone.
I eventually moved away to Bellevue, Nebraska which was a far cry from the tiny community in which I'd grown. It would be my first real interaction with people from the Asian community but I still found it difficult to relate. Being neither white nor feeling fully Asian, I felt no true sense of belonging even in such a diverse community. Shortly before my high school graduation, my family moved back to Texas where I would graduate and begin attending college. Having matured and feeling released from the social shallowness of high school, I began to seriously consider trying to make contact with other Vietnamese.
I was thrilled when approached by the representative of a Vietnamese student's organization. "Are you Vietnamese?" he asked. "Yes," I replied. "Do you speak Vietnamese?" was his next question to which I answered, "No, I was adopted." He stared for a moment then smiled and said, "Thank you," as he made a quick exit. I could do nothing but stare feeling as if I'd just been summarily rejected without reason. That moment would put an end to any thoughts of trying to reconnect to "my roots" for over a decade.
With the birth of each of my four children, the need to know grew until I could no longer ignore it. My childhood longing grew from a need to fill an emptiness left by my lost heritage and birth family. After my own children were born, filling in that vacuum became even more important in order to have something to pass onto my children. They had a right to know about Vietnam, its rich history and culture and to feel proud of that part of their heritage. Being such a later bloomer and already in my thirties added a sense of urgency.
I began researching through the library, newspapers and the internet looking for other adoptees and adoptee resources. At the same time, I started writing about my story and reaching out to others with similar experiences. It was surprising how much was actually out there. My desk became cluttered with books as I submerged myself in Vietnam's history, vibrant culture and deep traditions. I revisited the war from other perspectives and learned about Vietnam through the eyes of its people. It was an overwhelming and sometimes painful experience. I felt like an amnesiac trying to reconnect to a family through old letters, photo albums and home movies. My journey back has only begun but by moving backwards, I'm also moving forward.
Saigon is no longer the abandoned city of my childhood. I am proud to claim it as my birthplace. Reaching beyond the narrow perspective that imprisoned me, Vietnam now is more than a war. Tet has become a special time to share what I've learned about Vietnamese food, culture and history with my children. Beyond that, I hope to pass down a deep commitment to family and pride in knowing who they are. I will probably never be able to fill in all the gaps or fully reconnect with the Vietnam of my past. That is gone, but I've come to realize that just as Vietnam begins to heal and move forward, so must I. The past is only part of the picture as I also come to terms with what it means to be a first-generation Vietnamese American.
So much for not writing a long essay/rant…

We're now just about
2 weeks into the season, and already, we've seen some significant surprises pop
up on the waiver front. Here are a few
guys to jump on before their swiped up in your league:
Alexander Steen (STL)
Steen often kicks
off the season on fire, and it's come to pass once again. He has scored a goal in each of the first
four games and has totaled four assists in those games as well.
Jussi Jokinen (PIT)
With James Neal out,
Jokinen has slid into the sweet spot with Malkin. The results netted him a hat trick against
Carolina. He has done nothing but score
goals since joining the Pens late last season.
Michael Grabner (NYI)
The speedy Grabner
has gotten off to a quick start with the Isles, registering 2 goals and 5
assists through the first four games of the season. He has gone on similar hot streaks in the
past, so ride him now and drop him later.
Tomas Hertl (SJ)
You've probably
missed the boat on this rookie, given all the attentional that swell fourth
goal garnered him. If he's still
available in your league, snap him up now.
Jonas Brodin (MIN)
Brodin should have
been drafted in your league, but probably wasn't. He put together a strong rookie season last
year and is looking even better in season 2.
He should be a solid fantasy contributor all year.
Brent Burns (SJ)
If you're playing on
Yahoo, or some other site that can't seem to fathom that Burns is no longer a
defenseman, take him now. You can slot
him in on defense and take advantage of a decent forward's production. Even as a winger, he's worthy of
Hampus Lindholm (ANA)
Keep an eye on this
rookie over the next several weeks. He's
seeing plenty of ice time for the Ducks and is starting to produce.
Josh Harding (MIN)
With Backstrom on
the shelf (again), Harding once more finds himself with the starting job in
Minnesota. He performed admirably in the
same situation during the playoffs.
Backstrom isn't expected to be out long, but either way, Harding should
get his fair share of starts going forward and is worth stashing.

the opportunity for late afternoon light in my space is almost gone now. by the time i get home from work, there are only minutes before it's too dark for photos. and tonight it was uncommonly foggy too, making it even darker. luckily owen, my puppy, waited patiently (sort of) to play catch, while i hurried to get these.
i also need to apologize for what i wrote in my last post, saying i don't use photo shop or any photo manipulation. i've been feeling guilty and i want to explain. i really don't use p.s., but i have it. i use it for resizing photos to a larger dpi when an editor requests it. and i didn't buy it, it's photo shop elements, and the software came with my leica camera when i bought it. i'm grateful for it because i can't do this resizing in picasa, which i also use. sometimes i use the tuning button to bring more light to a photo (i don't like flash), and sometimes i use the writing tool to add words to a photo. i've been told (by editors) that this doesn't qualify as a shopped photo and is accepted even where manipulated photos are not allowed. when i said that, i wanted to tell you that the orange of the sky was true. and i didn't add that. it's my goal and hope to try to achieve natural photos always. plus to be honest. always. this was really bothering me. i'm sorry. i guess the truth is i do and i don't. (that would be the gemini in me! aggg).
okay! it's been a busy week! everyday, flags flags and more flags! the candy corn banner was dreamed of on the long drive home from my mom's on saturday. stopping at michael's, i found the right color wool, it's 'full o' sheep' and 'washable ewe' stitch nation by debbie stoller. the orange is clementine, the yellow: duckling, and the off white : little lamb (such cute names!). ravelry notes here. and in etsy here.
the fall banner was a request, and even though it was hard to get a good photo, the colors are pretty and autumny, i hope she thinks so too! the wool for this one is from loops & threads - luxury sock - super fine. in the colorways 'redwoods' and 'canyon'. in ravelry here.
i'm reading 'mollie makes' and 'cloth magazines', LOVE these, so colorful and inspiring! and did you see the little pencil pouch? i found it at michael's on the dollar aisle. it holds double points perfectly! i was so happy with this find i bought two extra, to give away. if you'd like one let me know, there's the tiny flower one and the red squiggly one. i love that my dpn's have a nice safe place to be when my knitting leaves the house. i'll choose a name at next week's yarn along (wednesday sept. 28). non knitters, you can still use it as a pencil pouch, cute!
and on my needles in the basket, a new sweater for a favorite little girl. thank you for the birthday wishes for my son and for coming here, i almost don't want to mention this, but its because of you, i have four hundred and ninety nine followers since this week, welcome new friends. there are so very many exciting things happening around here these days.
linking with small things weekly yarnalong. and natural suburbia's creative friday.

86: Mayday Interviews - Lzzy Hale (Halestorm)
Lzzy Hale has never exactly been one to play by the rules, or to conform to expectations. She is a child of the 90's, but was baptized into the church of 70's and 80's rock and roll and dove in head first, worshipping at the altar of the "foremothers of rock" like Ann Wilson, Joan Jett & Pat Benatar. She emerged and formed Halestorm, combining vocals that can seduce you one moment only to punch you in the face the next with her bandmates thunderous, buzzsaw cocktail of 90's grunge and nu metal. Throw in giant hooks and enough pop polish to make her foremothers proud and you have Halestorm.Justin sits down with Lzzy to talk about Halestorm's new album "Vicious", and what it's like being an influencer and foremother in her own right. Plus her takes on advocating for mental health and being that cartoon character that someone out there needs to see and why representation matters more than ever.Enjoy!

70: BONUS INTERVIEW! Amanda Brugel (Rita)
Amanda Brugel talks all things Rita with Justin & Tiana! Sometimes you things just work out perfectly. We tried to setup this interview for a couple of dates but couldn't work out a day that worked. So we decided to do it so that it would release after the finale....and WOW did we luck out! Rita helps June get the baby out of Gilead and finally takes that heroic turn that we had all been wishing she would take. Amazing stuff! Enjoy!
July 11, 2018
69: The Handmaid's Tale on HULU S2/E13 - "The Word"
BOOM! There it is and there you have it! The finale to The Handmaid's Tale on HULU! Episode 13 "The Word" packed a huge punch...literally. We now know the fate of June and her baby. Emily finally has someone show her a kindness in Gilead, but not before leaving Auny Lydia bloodied on the floor! Serena finally comes to terms with the true nature of the world that she helped to create and learned the price for those that defy it. Meanwhile Fred learns that it's always the quiet ones you have to worry about as Rita and the Martha network save the damn day! What a great end to a great season. A little hope...a little fire...and a whole bunch of questions! Let's talk about it!
July 11, 2018
68: Bonus Interview! Eric Tuchman (E12 Writer)
The Handmaid's Tale on HULU leaves us once again with no idea where the show is going. Episode 12 "Postpartum" followed up the highly emotional, very different episode "Holly" in which June gives birth to her daughter. Writer Eric Tuchman is a veteran TV writer with a history of writing for strong female characters. He brings us an episode in which things unfold and reveal the depths of the flaws in Gilead's society and the toll that it takes on all involved. "Postpartum" sets in motion events, the long term effects of which are not yet known and sets up a finale that could go in any direction. We take a deep dive into "Postpartum" with the man who wrote it. Enjoy!
July 6, 2018
67: Bonus interview!- Sydney Sweeney (Eden)
We caught up with Sydney Sweeney a couple of week's ago to discuss her character Eden. The Handmaid's Tale brought Eden into the fold as Nick's child bride and has forced viewers to confront some very uncomfortable topics along the way. Sydney Sweeney joins us to talk about joining the cast after season one, what she thinks about those contreversial story lines and how she flips the switch from Sydney to Eden. Enjoy!
July 5, 2018
66: The Handmaid's Tale on HULU S2/E12 - "Postpartum"
With two episodes to go in season 2 June once again finds herself in the Waterford house for tour number three. Every relationship is full of moving parts and volatile emotions as we head into the finale with more questions than answers. We finally get the answer to "Who is in the pool!?" as Eden and Isaac play star crossed lovers and end up paying the ultimate price. Meanwhile Serena has what she's always wanted but it may not quite be what she bargained for. We also get our Bradley Whitford sighting as Emily is stationed with Commander Lawrence, the "architect of Gilead's economy" who is.....a bit of a mystery. Bottom line...there is one episode after this and we have ZERO idea as to where it's going.
July 4, 2018
65: Bonus Interview! Warren Littlefield (Executive Producer)
We could listen to Warren Littlefield talk all day long about television. The man is a legend in the business having resided over NBC during one of the most remarkable runs for a TV network ever. He also happens to be the Executive Producer for The Handmaid's Tale on HULU! Working side by side with Bruce Miller to deliver one of the most talked about, relevant, well produced television shows in recent memory. Jennifer White with Slacker radio sat down with Warren Littlefield to talk about success, poltiics, race and more. He's the TV zen master, enjoy the interview!
June 28, 2018
64: The Handmaid's Tale on HULU S2/E11 - "Holly"
The Handmaid's Tale on HULU follows up one of their most intense and violent episodes with something entirely different. In S2/E11 - "Holly" we essentially get a one woman show as Elisabeth Moss absolutely puts one of the best performances of her run on The Handmaid's Tale. As June finds herself in the middle of nowhere, having just seen Hannah and Nick taken away, she steels herself and focuses on the two things she can control. Herself, and the baby. The only break in the Elisabeth Moss show comes in the form of an epic meltdown of a scene with Fred and Serena. It it small but it is mighty! Yvonne Strahovski leaves no doubts as to whether she should be at the top of all the award nomination lists as she somehow manages to plunge us further into the depths of Serena's pit of misery. This is the kind of episode that makes you appreciate everything about this show as HULU and Co. somehow raise the bar yet again.
June 27, 2018
63: Bonus Interview! Yahlin Chang (Writer S2/E10)
Yahlin Chang joins Mayday to discuss that gutwrenching episode of The Handmaid's Tale....because she is the one that wrote it! We try to get into the mind of the woman that created one of the most bleek episodes of television we've seen in a long time. Listen, learn, and laugh...no really...she's pretty great and funny and was a blast to interview!
June 23, 2018
62: Bonus Interview! Kate Kelly (EqualityNow.org)
Kate Kelly from EqualityNow.Org talks to Mayday about their new campaign #HopeLivesInEveryName.Equality Now has partnered with HULU and The Handmaid's Tale to illustrate that even though the show is fiction, the violence women and girls face in the series is reality for millions around the world. Kate discusses the issues in the Handmaid's Tale that are fiction in the show but are reality for millions of women around the world. Please listen and share this interview and pass along the good work that Equality Now is doing to help millions of women and girls.
June 21, 2018
61: Bonus Interview! Bruce Miller (showrunner)
The Handmaid's Tale on HULU is the baby of Bruce Miller a longtime television writer and producerwho serves as the show's creator and showrunner. Bruce knows all! You know that thing that happened that made you freak out? Yeah, he made that happen. Or that thing that made you cry or laugh or just cover your eyes. Yep, all that comes from Bruce and his amazing creative team. We had the pleasure of interviewing Bruce and having him answer some of your burning questions (thank you social media followers!) as well as discussing being a man running a show that focuses on the opression of women, and a ton more including a chat about his father's influence on his work, just in time for Father's day. Take a listen and enjoy! You're gonna learn alot.

The Handmaid's Tale on HULU S2/E10 - The Last CeremonyThis was your not so friendly, or subtle reminder that Serena and Fred are straight up evil.Eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.
June 21, 2018
59: Bonus Interview! O-T Fagbenle (Luke)
Ok, we admit it, in season one we talked more than a fair amount of trash about Luke...and now we feel entirely justified! O-T Fagbenle joines Slacker Radio's Jennifer White for an interview to talk about all things Luke. Did he do enough? Does he blame himself? #TeamNick or #TeamLuke? All things revealed in our interview with actor O-T Fagbenle aka Luke from The Handmaid's Tale!
June 14, 2018
58: The Handmaid's tale on HULU S2/E9 - "Smart Power"
The Handmaid's Tale ventures to the Great White North! Serena, Fred, and Nick take the Gilead show on the road to try and prove to the world that none of the horrible true things you've heard about them are true....but we all know how things end up with Stupid Fred in charge don't we? Moira, Luke and Erin lead the VERY unwelcoming party to greet the Stupid Fred and the gang and ultimately foil their evil plans as Nick delivers those Mayday letters and Luke finally "takes care" of something (after Erin suggests it). Meanwhile we get to see Serena choose her own adventure from the Denny's children's intenary and decide whether treason and coconuts are better than a life as a terrible gardener with a wortless husband. Crystal, special guest Angie, and Justin are here to break down all the action....and Fred would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling American refugees!

56: The Handmaid's tale on HULU S2/E8 - "Women's Work"
Unbelievable. They did it and we can't believe it. The Handmaid's Tale on HULU ends on a non-flashback happy moment! What an absolutely fantastic job by everyone in this episode. Yvonne Strahovski is absolutely award worthy in her performance in this episode. Madeline Brewer absolutely brings the heat and delivers some of the most purely human moments that this show has ever seen. Fred somehow ups his stock as THE WORST!!! Ugh. This show. Sarah and Justin are here to break it all down. Enjoy and thank you for listening.
June 6, 2018

June 5, 2018
54: The Handmaid's tale on HULU S2/E7 - "After"
Who is alive, who is dead, and what will the repurcussions be?! What a fine follow up to The Handmaid's Tale on HULU EP6! Gilead is shaken to it's core by the bombing at the new Rachel and Leah center. Fred survives...hmm...but all is not well in the Waterford house. Commander Price did not survive the blast and the newly minted head of security, Commander Cushing, is looking to bring big trouble to the Waterfords. Serena takes things into her own hands. Moira's crushing back story is revealed and we did NOT see that coming. It's another fantastic episode and Justin & Sarah are here to break it all down!

So, lets learn a little more about Nick from the man that plays him. Max Minghella sat down with our hero, Jennifer White from Slacker Radio to talk all things Nick.

51: The Handmaid's Tale on HULU S2/E6 - "First Blood"
Whaaaaaaaaaaat!? This episode is bonkers!! I guess we're dialing it up a notch on The Handmaid's Tale. Crystal Martin joins Justin as a very special co-host to breakdown Season 2/Episode 6 - "First Blood."

10: Let's talk about Episode 10: "Night"
Serena F'ing Joy! This episode starts off with a bang...literally...as things between Serena Joy and Offred finally come to blows. Serena has had enough and if Offred is not pregnant it could spell bad things for her time in Gilead. Plus we find out what happens with Janine, which leads to a defiant moment for the Handmaids. We get a showdown between Serena and Fred and no Scrabble board and male ego is safe from the wrath of Serena Joy. Plus....cuz we weren't really sure if she was the most evil of evil people, Serena does the most evil thing that anyone has done so far in this show, and thats saying something! All of this culminates with a step into the dark or..the light. Season 2 cannot get here soon enough!
October 17, 2017
9: Let's talk about Episode 9: "The Bridge"
Hey you know what Janine deserves? A nice quite vacation? Some alone time with the child she gave birth to? A hug? If you guessed D) to have her child taken away from her and to be posted at a new home far away....YOU WIN! Its a gut wrenching episode. Things are picking up as plot lines are quickly coming to a head. Offred and Mayday, Mr and Mrs Putnam....and Mr Putnams arm. No limb is safe as things are really heating up in Gilead! One episode left!
October 17, 2017
8: Let's talk about Episode 8: "Jezebels"
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into Gilead! Wow. When Serena Joy is away Fred will play, thus we get our introduction to creepy, psycho, hellish fever dream that is Jezebels. The only not terrible thing that we witness at Jezebels is a lovely....if heartbreaking reunion with Moira. The stakes are high for everyone as Fred is taking a risk, Offred's entire existence is a risk, and the Mayday subplot just makes things even more crazy. So, you know, just another happy fun adventure in the kingdom of Gilead!
October 17, 2017
7: Lets talk about Episode 7: "The Other Side"
Oh Luke.....Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke....you noble....stubborn stubborn man. This weeks episode gives us a big dose of flashback, foundation and....Luke! We find out all about the details behind the daring and failed escape attempt that opened the season as we follow Luke on his path to "Little America!" A great episode that shows the fresh residue of the Gilead takeover as it makes its way across the country. Luke's journey finds him rescued by a small group of survivors trying to make their way to a boat that will take them to Canada. Luke does everything in his power to make all the possible wrong decisions about all of the things. Its actually kind of impressive. Join us for one of our more laugh out loud episodes as we wonder aloud what exactly Luke is thinking here.
October 17, 2017
6: Let's talk about Episode 6: "A Woman's Place"
This week they lighten things up a bit with a super fun party for all the handmaids. HAHAHAHA, just kidding, this episode is totally messed up just like the rest of them. Tensions are running HIGH as a group from Mexico, including the Mexican ambassador are paying a visit to Gilead. Seems they want to do a little trading...but with what and for what.....or whom? Yeah, its like that. We get more fun back story on Fred and Serena in the pre-Gilead era as it starting to look more and more like Serena is the brains behind this operation. Its a super creepy episode complete with poor Janine getting left of the party, Serena Joy asserting herself and saving (depending on your perspective) the day. More Nick things happen as Nick is at his most Nick here in this episode. PLUS! BOOM! Guess who's alive....
October 17, 2017
5: Lets talk about Episode 5: "Faithful"
"Better never means better for everyone," ....the understatement of the season. The commander starts his quick turn to creepy-town as we get more into his character. Offred and Nick and Serena make a little plan on the side to ... double the efforts... with last weeks reveal that Fred is most likely shooting blanks...as are the majority of the men! We get some more flashbacks to June and Luke's relationship origin. All this and a brief reunion with ....the artists formerly known as OfGlen....currently known as Ofsteven....always known as Emily. Plus some interesting and unexpected perspective from Fake Fake Ofglen.
October 17, 2017

Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum, learn it, live it know it. Offred is losing it as she has been banished to her room for almost two weeks by evil queen Serena Joy. She finds some solace in a mysterious message written in her closet, but what does it mean and what happened to the person that wrote it? We take the express lane to creepy town with the doctors visit and Nick turns in a very, very.....Nick performance as Offred cracks in the limo. Things continue to get interesting during the ceremony...and....more Scrabble! Plus...more bad times at the Red Center and we witness Moira and June's attempted escape.

Super Ad Sunday: A Look at Some Creative Super Bowl XLVII Commercials
Another Super Bowl has come and gone and this year's game screamed creativity. Though we were disappointed our hometown team didn't win, we were impressed with the stage design of Beyonce's half time show, and the awesome pyrotechnics. However, it was the unique and creative ads that had everyone talking.
Each year, brands use every drop of creativity they have to produce compelling 30 – 60 second ads that will be seen by millions of people. To honor the hard work of these creative professionals (and to help get your own imaginative wheels spinning for your next project), we wanted to showcase a few notable placements that sparked our attention:
And of course, who can forget the infamous power outage that occurred during the game? We wanted to give a special shout out to Oreo, who among many other brands, took advantage of this happening to gain additional exposure on social media.

Unresolved equilibrium: Yungas coca growers test Bolivian Government
On 11 October 2010, coca growers in the North Yungas region of the La Paz territories organised blockades to protest a recent Bolivian government measure to limit and control coca leaf production and sales. Nine days later, on 19 October, protestors signed a preliminary agreement with the government and lifted blockades until November 5, allowing for dialogue in this intermediate period.
Although the longstanding causes of the current conflict are linked to MAS initiatives to legally limit coca in the region, the temporary resolution has an infinitely simpler explanation: 20 October is the anniversary celebration of Coroico, home to many protestors. Read more.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has run the bases for the first time, a key step in his rehabilitation program for a strained right calf.
The Yankees captain ran from home to first four times, first to second three times and first to third once on Tuesday at the team's minor league complex.
"Running is probably most important," Jeter said. "Feels good. I'm sure we'll pick it up in the next couple days."
There is no date yet for when Jeter, on the 15-day disabled list for the first time since 2003, will rejoin the lineup.
"As soon as I can," he said.
Jeter is six hits shy of 3,000, a chase that's been on hold since he got hurt June 13.
Jeter also took 24 grounders on the grass, 10 more at his normal infield position and made throws to first base. He took 47 swings during his second day of on-field batting practice.
Also, right-hander Bartolo Colon, sidelined with a strained right hamstring, practiced bunting, a sign that he could pitch in his weekend's interleague road series against the New York Mets.
Colon, coming off a 60-pitch, four-inning simulated game on Monday, also threw long toss, ran sprints and did agility drills.
Converted reliever Mark Prior, on the DL at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre because of a strained groin, threw off a bullpen mound for the second time in four days. If there are no problems, he might throw batting practice later this week.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., January 19, 2012 — Devoted to creating opportunities for students and focused on the needs of the university, Daria L. Foster has committed $2 million to St. Bonaventure University's School of Business Campaign, the university announced today. Daria Foster is managing partner of Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC.
The contribution will provide $1 million toward the construction of a new building to house the School of Business and $1 million in endowment to support academic programs.
The gift honors her late husband of more than 30 years, William C. Foster. A member of
St. Bonaventure's class of 1962 and Fordham Law School ('65), Mr. Foster practiced law for 35 years, retiring in 2000 as senior associate counsel for Champion International. He served on St. Bonaventure's Board of Trustees from 2008 to his passing in 2010. In 2009, the Fosters endowed a scholarship at the university in honor of their mothers, which is now valued at more than $2.7 million, and in early 2011 Mrs. Foster created a similar scholarship fund at Gettysburg College.
"Daria Foster is a great champion of students and of a liberal arts foundation," said Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., S.T.D., president of the university. "She and Bill shared a devotion to giving back to their alma maters and helping future generations pursue their full potential. Her tremendous generosity in this campaign illustrates a firm belief in St. Bonaventure's ability to transform how business professionals are prepared."
Mrs. Foster has more than 30 years' experience in the financial services industry. She is the first female managing partner of Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC, one of our nation's oldest money management firms, and also serves as president and director of Lord Abbett Mutual Funds. She earned a bachelor's degree in English from Gettysburg College and credits much of her success to the varied skill set gleaned in a liberal arts environment.
"St. Bonaventure meant a lot to Bill. It was where he truly matured as an adult. He always had a very warm feeling about the university and wanted to do something that was important," said Mrs. Foster. "In addition, we have both been the beneficiaries of the generosity of family members, friends and colleagues throughout our lives. This gift also acknowledges these people for their support of us."
Constructing a new home for the School of Business is important, she said, adding that a new physical plant will affect students' involvement and interest, and will offer opportunities they would not otherwise have.
"It is my hope that Daria Foster's leadership in giving will inspire many others to join in supporting the School of Business Campaign," said Carol Fischer, Ph.D., C.P.A., interim dean of the School of Business. "Her generosity is a remarkable vote of confidence in the work of our faculty and the aspirations of our students."
The university is in the midst of a $15 million campaign for the creation of a new building to house the School of Business: $10 million for the construction of the business center; $4 million in endowments for faculty and programmatic support; and $1 million for building endowment.
Daria Foster's gift brings the total of funds raised to nearly $13 million. It is among more than 50 commitments made to the campaign by St. Bonaventure alumni and friends. The university will release information about additional lead donors to the campaign as it continues toward its goal of $15 million.
Donations to the campaign may be made by visiting www.sbu.edu/bullishonbusiness/donate or by calling (800) 664-1273.
For more on the planned Business Center and the School of Business Campaign, go to www.sbu.edu/bullishonbusiness.

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team fell in a 1-0 decision to the Lehigh Mountain Hawks on Sunday in Bethlehem, PA. Lehigh earned its first win of the season in the match, improving to 1-2-0, while the Blue Devils drop to 0-4-0. CCSU outshot the Mountain Hawks 24-6, but ultimately failed to land one in the net.
Of its 24 shots, CCSU landed eight on goal. Leading Central on the offense was freshman Morgan Santoro, who registered three of her four shots on goal. Junior Tori Sousa landed two of her four shots on goal and junior Kerriann Welch led the squad in overall shots with six.
The Mountain Hawks scored 19 minutes into the match on a header from inside the left corner of the box by Lehigh's Darby Dustman. The two teams went into the half with the Blue Devils suffering from the 1-0 deficit which they were unable to overcome in the second half.
CCSU emerged with the advantage in shots (24-6), corner kicks (6-2) and shots on goal (8-2). Additional Blue Devils that contributed to the offensive strike included freshman Christiana Solomou (four shots) and seniors Allison Kelley and Rachel Cerrone who each posted two shots.
The Blue Devils return home for their next contest against the Army Black Knights on Friday, Sept. 13 at the CCSU Soccer Field in New Britain, CT. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and live video will be available, for free, on www.NECFrontRow.com.

Microsoft has released a feature list for Internet Explorer 8, although one of its big-ticket improvements is actually just a minor tweak to the links bar.
With Internet Explorer 7 proving to be a vast improvement on previous incarnations, Microsoft is keen to keep the momentum going as it continues to battle against the likes of Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari.
However, the new 'favourites bar' is pretty much a retread of the current links bar. The only noteworthy addition is the inclusion of an 'Add to Favourites bar' option, rather than the current Add to Favourites > links process.
ACR and anti-phishing
'Automatic crash recovery', inevitably given a Microsoft acronym of ACR, will be welcomed, much more so than improvements to the anti-phishing filter.
'Webslices' appears to be an RSS/Vista gadget hybrid that allows users to have streamed information in their Favourites bar and updates to changes on their favourite websites.
Last but not least, 'Activities' seemingly allows people to install third-party and Microsoft apps that allow the swift transfer of information into and out of webpages. The example given is a Live Maps search on a postcode that places the map in a popup.
It remains to be seen if Microsoft can keep its dominance in the browser wars, but Beta 1 of IE8 is already available for your perusal.

Mitt Romney still can't shake the perception that he's Republicans' reluctant choice for the nomination — despite his resounding win in New Hampshire and apparent victory in Iowa.
Romney himself has tried to cast his success in New Hampshire, where he captured 39 percent of the vote, as a virtual mandate. But what's Jimmy Fallon's take?
"The voters of New Hampshire have spoken loud and clear and said, 'Oh, well — if this is all we got!'" he joked.
Fallon as well as Jay Leno both kidded Wednesday night about the reluctance of any of the candidates to drop out after New Hampshire — for many of them, because they've pinned their hopes on reviving their campaigns in South Carolina.
"After Iowa and New Hampshire, Mitt Romney's campaign is now two for two. After his performance last night, Rick Perry's campaign merchandise is now two for one. You get a foam finger, a keychain and… I forget the third one. Oops," Fallon continued.
Perry, who's still hoping for salvation in South Carolina with his evangelical faith, captured just one percent of the vote in New Hampshire.
"Rick Perry was philosophical about it," Jay Leno joked on "The Tonight Show" on Wednesday. "He said last week was Iowa, yesterday was New Hampshire, tomorrow is South Carolina. He said, 'At least it's giving me a chance to learn the names of all the states.'"
