|Elisabeth Moss, probably one of the best actresses around at the moment
I never watched the Handmaiden's Tale, too sad and misogynistic I think though of course not watching gives me no clue. But I have watched the 6 episodes of the second Top of the Lake - China Girl with Elizabeth Moss and Nicole Kidman. Both series have an otherworldly feel to them, Top of the Lake the first drama in 2013 its landscape was visually beautiful in New Zealand. The second story by Jane Campion, China Girl, was an extraordinary portrayal of the people involved. Slightly over the top on sex (but that might be my age) and the morality of the bad guy, Puss - or was he good? Dysfunctional of course, given to violence and why did he send poor Mary, daughter of Robin (Moss) on to the street with her 'sisters'. This was a clever drama, humilitating the Western values against the Thai girls sad life of prostitution. And yes it was funny in a way, though the portrayal of the computer sex mad young male students was perhaps really over the top.
The last scene was definitely the eye-opener, there is a twist, another thread of story running parellel to the brothel life in which the Thai girls lived. There was another group, carrying surrogate babies for western parents.. The bad guy Puss makes a video mocking the parents with 'white' babies being cuddled by the girls. And then, well last clip shows all the pregnant Thai girls flying back to Thailand, to sell their babies elsewhere? to keep them, who knows. But the morality of the story stood loud and clear, and for me, never, ever, be judgemental.......... although the very act of writing makes me so ;)
Why have I written about this drama, well it came from reading another article this morning from Prof. Mary Beard, she had written that a few of the Romans in Britain were ethnically different, in other words there were black people in Britain (shock, horror for all those white supremacists) during Roman times and even occupying powerful places. She had the usual obnoxious tweets, calling her everything under the sun, but luckily she chooses to turn and face her bullies. We can take it that it is mostly male creatures who attack her, but the equalising of the female in society still has a lot to overcome, let alone the rest of the world. Guardian article
And perhaps importantly why does the internet often fall into such infantile behaviour, is it that the written word gives the offender a greater distance in not having to face the persecuted - the arena of the bully...

I read with great intrigue the espionage case against Australian miners in China, and wondered why Australia hasn't been turning the screws on China. Then I read this:
The federal government is trying to get access to an Australian Rio Tinto executive arrested in China on suspicion of spying, Acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard says.
Chinese authorities have detained Stern Hu, believed to be Rio Tinto's general manager of iron ore in China, together with three of his Chinese colleagues from the Anglo-Australian miner.
The arrest comes only one month after Rio knocked back Chinalco's $US19.5 billion ($A25.03 billion) bid to double its stake in the miner to 18 per cent.
Gillard's in charge? No wonder. As soon as Mandarin-fluent Kevin Rudd comes back to work, things will be alright.

New combined code still presents a challenge
The UK's corporate world is once again engaged in working out just what rules of good behaviour it should be following.
The UK's corporate world is once again engaged in working out just what rules of good behaviour it should be following.
The sudden focus comes after the Financial Reporting Council finally published its revised combined code on corporate governance last week, which includes measures proposed by Derek Higgs on the role of non-executive directors.
We've been here before. When the Higgs report was first released at the beginning of this year, the City generally accepted it. Then they read it.
Howls of protest emerged and the FRC was forced to rethink what they should adopt for the combined code.
Last week, the Higgs proposals were generally accepted to be softened.
Board chairmen will be allowed to chair a company's nomination committee.
FTSE-350 companies must no longer have at least half of their boards made up of non-executives – they can opt for a minimum of just two. And there is more clarification on the roles of chairmen and the new position of senior independent director.
Despite the softening, many feel the revised code will be tough on companies.
'It's a clear tightening of the belt for companies and the institutions, while maintaining the same comply or explain regime,' says Nigel Jones, Ernst & Young's national head of audit services.
But within the reactions to the code, warnings and misgivings persist.
ACCA turned on the code as soon as it was made public. The institute's complaint was that it virtually ignored the interests of small investors, while narrowly focusing on the relationship between management and big institutional investors.
'It is a pity that the needs of real shareholders have largely been ignored,' says Paul Moxey, head of corporate governance at ACCA.
He was also concerned that the opportunity had been lost to do something about a broad framework of corporate responsibility.
The focus on the responsibility of directors to institutional shareholders is, of course, where many wanted the Higgs review to go in the wake of the Enron and WorldCom scandals.
There were key reasons for this, not least a resistance to the US approach in Sarbanes-Oxley, which developed prescriptive measures on financial reporting and the role of auditors.
Nigel Jones identifies, as a key characteristic of the Higgs review, that 'what really matters is a strong board of independently-minded people with the right blend of skills and experience'.
'And that in Ernst & Young's view, has clearly been recognised by the Financial Reporting Council in developing the new combined code,' he adds.
But as favourable as the reaction to the code has been, it still remains just a code. 'Its value lies in how it is implemented,' says Anthony Carey, technical partner at RSM Robson Rhodes.
The key, Carey points out, is that companies actually respond 'positively and actively' to the code as an 'aid to business performance'.
The code's future success, therefore, lies not in its provisions, but in the willingness of companies to apply it. Given that some of the provisions are quite demanding, it still presents them with an important test. Investors will be keen to see they pass.
Email: email@example.com KEY POINTS – Combined code modified to include main principles, provisions and supporting principles to offer greater flexibility – Board chairmen able to chair nomination committee – Roles of chairmen and senior independent directors clarified – FTSE-350 members need just two non-executive directors – 'Rigorous review' replaces 'special explanation' to shareholders in the event of a non-executive serving more than six years.

Hey all!
Just wondering before I buy if these cheats are detectable by VAC or anything else and are bannable?
I'm under the impression that certain servers have VAC enabled, while others do not. Are all official severs VAC protected?
Is there anyway to play online with other random players and check the servers for VAC to avoid a ban, or are these cheats simply for SOLO play if you want to remain undetected?

I have also spoken to all 3 companies in HK, and about to sign with CordLife. Healthbaby has the best marketing strategy but they use liquid nitrogen tank and I don't like it. Their sales persons are like insurance persons, and they don't have any lab background and they just repeat the messages they got from their company like parrots. Their critism about the tank used by the other two sounds convincing initially, but when I checked out more with the other two, i found that the points are not true.
The other two using same tank (vapour nitrogen) which has less risk for cross contemination, I trust it better. Between the two, I chose CordLife because it uses a new machine, SEPAX, to process the blood. Cryolife's machine can also automatic process the blood but the statistics they quote is less than SEPAX. Plus, the sales I talked to in CordLife is very informative and responsive to my questions etc, she herself was a lab person before. I also visited their office in Wan Chai Shui On centre which is very convenient.
Also, Cordlife is cheaper by $1,000 and they have a promotion 31 March 2009 to give you an italian made baby bouncer. The person who refers you will get $668 in cash. You can quote me if you go with Cordlife, we can spend that over a nice afternoon tea!

Used a Rock Chucker for about 40 years but grew tired of pinching my fingers when loading the long stuff. After adding the Chapuis 9,3x74R decided to sell the Rock and buy a Ammo Master. Really enjoy the bigger window and will enjoy it more when my 450 Nitro comes in. But the Ammo Master made loading smaller ammo a chore with the longer travel of the arm. Lot more work to load handgun rounds.
Late last year purchased a nice Savage in 6mm Norma BR so decided this would be the time to add a more precise press and went with the Forster Co-Ax. The precision of this press and how it operates is truly amazing. Added the short arm to it as well as the plate that will accept standard shell holders.
Wifey bought me a RCBS Partner press for xmas so decided to set it up just for handgun rounds. Well, after loading up several hundred rounds I just can't use it anymore. It is a fine press, compact and works well but the Co-Ax has totally spoiled me. Tomorrow the Partner is coming off the bench and all the dies will be reset to be used with the Co-Ax.
I thought the sun set and rose around "regular" presses and really like my RCBS stuff. But if you havent tried a Forster Co-Ax press you should give one a try. However, it is not the press if you are loading long rounds like the 300 Wby, 375 H&H, etc.

Mostly Cloudy
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The first lesson about sharks is they are always some in the water, even when you don't see them.
That's a cardinal truth to Apryl DeLancey of El Porto Shark. The shark researcher studies shark populations and great white sharks are dominating the conversation.
"They're not just the killing machines like in Jaws," DeLancey said.
The killing machine myth is one she's dedicated to debunking. One that's got many worked up after the April 29 shark bite that sent a mother of three to the hospital.
DeLancey says to defend yourself in shark attacks, don't go for the nose, the best thing to do is go for the eyes or gills. But in most cases, you won't have to.
"When they bite a person they spit them out," she said, emphasizing people are not part of their diet. "Mostly a great white shark's diet consists of very fatty animals and that would be seals and sea lions."
It's those prey that she thinks the sharks are chasing closer to the shoreline.
"Depending on how hungry they are, they could follow other things that are following other things," she said.
DeLancey says last year, sharks were seen feeding three miles from the shoreline but this year, they've been seen feeding as close as 100 yards.
And several videos shot in Southern California show them closer than that. DeLancey says it's a trend that we may all have to get used to, because, with the help of environmental protection laws, marine life seems to be flourishing, including sharks.
"We're seeing a lot more baby great white sharks," she said. "So it's a good sign the ocean is healthy."
But if you're still looking for a little peace of mind when it comes to venturing into the water, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommends:

Pleas advise me what I will do?

Like the answers? Chat privately with the doctor of your choice
Does your skin gets dry after bath? In that case smear coconut oil. You can add a pinch of turmeric to a palm full of coconut oil and apply , this may even prevent allergic reactions to water.

First you take shower from different source of water.One possibility is you may have allergy towards chlorine or some contents in water.so u have to rule out this first.Eventhough you have this problem you have to take internal and external medicines to correct this problem.i have to know whether you have any history of diabetics also

Congressman Elton Gallegly Running...Or Not?
Gallegly was a shoo-in when he suddenly announced last week that he would not seek re-election due to health reasons. (Not the "I want to spend time with my family" excuse?) The 24th Congressional District was gerrymandered to include more Democratic areas with Gallegly's Ventura County Simi Valley stronghold. (e.g. Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County) Gallegly has been an under-the-radar rubber stamp for all things Republican, including Tom DeLay's "ethics", in his gazillion years in the House. Gallegly also gave $5,000 to DeLay's legal defense fund. But the Republicans in charge won't allow him to leave. David Dreier popped up from behind his rock to proclaim Gallegly was still in the running and he supported him.
click map.
Roll Call
GOP Source: Gallegly to Switch Course, Seek Re-election
Monday, March 13
Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-Calif.) has reconsidered a last-minute decision to retire and will announce Tuesday that he intends to seek re-election this year after all, a move that comes at the urging of House leaders and members of California's GOP delegation, a knowledgeable source said late Monday.
Gallegly's sudden retirement announcement Friday spawned political chaos in his district, leaving some Republicans to threaten write-in campaigns to succeed him. Over the weekend local party leaders, assuming Gallegly was calling it quits, had begun lining up behind attorney Michael Tenenbaum, a first-time candidate who originally was planning to challenge the Congressman in the June 6 Republican primary.
A House Republican aide familiar with the conversations said that Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (N.Y.) and others spent Monday recommending to Gallegly that he run for and serve one more term, as California law prevents him from removing his name from the primary ballot. "Elton has had such a good career, there's no need to end it this way," the aide said. Messages left with Gallegly's office were not returned Monday.
Roll Call
Confusion Over Gallegly Persists
Local Support May Crumble
With Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-Calif.) expected to announce that he will run for re-election, it was unclear late Tuesday what level of support he could expect from Republican leaders in his district as the fallout from his flip-flopping continued to reverberate.
Ventura County Republican Party Chairwoman Leslie Cornejo, who on Monday endorsed Michael Tenenbaum (R) when it appeared as though he was the only Republican on the ballot who was running, declined to withdraw that endorsement when informed that Gallegly was poised to get back in the race.
But her party's vice chairman, Ventura County Sheriff Commander David Tennessen, said his allegiance would switch from Tenenbaum back to Gallegly, the 20-year incumbent who announced less than two hours before last Friday's filing deadline that he was retiring after submitting papers to seek re-election back in February.
"I will look at it. But honestly I'm very likely to leave my statement where it stands," Cornejo said Tuesday. "I'm not interested in contributing to the confusion. I'm very comfortable with the [endorsement] letter I wrote [for Tenenbaum]."
Multiple messages left with Gallegly's office on Monday and Tuesday were not returned, but a House Republican aide reiterated Tuesday that Gallegly had in fact changed his mind and was planning to run for re-election to his 24th district seat.
Ventura County Recorder-Clerk Philip Schmit confirmed that Gallegly's attorney called his office at 11:35 a.m. Friday inquiring if the Congressman could withdraw his name from the ballot. Schmit acknowledged that he incorrectly said he could, but said he left a message with Gallegly's attorney an hour later with the correct information — that he could not.
That doesn't necessarily jibe with this portion of Gallegly's statement, released Monday: "Later on Friday, when I formally asked for my name to be withdrawn, only then was I told by the county clerk that he had made a mistake."
Also, Gallegly said in his statement that "my representatives are also working with the Secretary of State's Office to seek legislative relief from the California Legislature." But a secretary of state source said Tuesday that no one associated with Gallegly has been in contact with either the executive or elections divisions of McPherson's office.
And although Gallegly had cited a medical condition as his reason for announcing his retirement, the House Republican aide said the Congressman has since been given a clean bill of health by doctors.
Gallegly himself told the Ventura County Star in an article published Tuesday that the condition was "nothing catastrophic."
In a broader context, Democrats only need 15 seats to gain control of the House and theoretically Impeachment Hearings could finally begin. It's about to get very, very dirty. The plot thickens.

Philippine economic growth will be enhanced if Republic Act 8178 or the Agricultural Tariffication Act is fully implemented. The country should now allow agricultural products to enter the local market under a tariff scheme as contemplated by the law enacted way back in 1996.
The law is meant to fulfill the country's commitment to the World Trade Organization while providing a safety net for the agriculture sector. It avows as a state policy to make the country's agricultural sector viable, efficient and globally competitive by adopting the use of tariffs instead of non-tariff import restrictions to protect local producers of agricultural products, except rice which will continue to have quantitative import restrictions.
In other countries, farmers are rich. It's non-debatable that such has been the lot of farmers in countries that have long opened their borders to international agricultural trade like Japan, China, South Korea, and Asean neighbors, Thailand, Malaysia, and even Vietnam. In the Philippines, agriculture is the poor man's sector. This need not be so here. We have laws, like RA 8178, that seek to make agriculture viable, more efficient and more competitive. Unfortunately, the good intentions of the laws have been lost by the failure to fully implement them.
Much has been said about the need to protect local agricultural products from foreign competition. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why some government officials are wary of implementing the law. Yet, protectionism has already been shown to make agricultural producers more conservative and less competitive because they are already assured of a ready market at prices they could dictate. Experts have repeatedly pointed out that a "protectionist policy environment" which continues to impose restrictions—real and disguised—in the importation of agricultural products have hurt the agricultural sector more than they have helped.
Our sugar industry never modernized while we had the US quota with preferential price. Sugar barons were content with their outmoded means of production because they knew the United States would buy their produce at a price higher than the world market. When the quota ended, our sugar producers found they could not compete with those from other countries with more efficient and cheaper production technology. While the producers lost because of their lack of innovative ideas, Filipino consumers won because they could buy imported sugar at a lower price.
Dr. Roehlano Briones, in a 2013 discussion paper entitled "Philippine Agriculture to 2020: Threats and Opportunities from Global Trade," concluded that the strategy of curtailing imports resulted in substantial price increases for most agricultural products presenting "a substantial burden to the poor." Instead, he pushed for " more liberal trade policies (lowering of tariffs and non-tariff barriers) as well as directing expenditure support on a more neutral basis, i.e. greater outlays towards products with lower support, which typically are the export-oriented commodities (i.e. products for which the Philippines has comparative advantage)."
Briones, a UP-trained economist and writing for the government think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), maintains that embracing international trade allows investment to be "re-allocated towards export-oriented commodities to accelerate productivity growth in the medium-term, while tariff and non-tariff barriers are reduced."
"Here, consumers benefit through food affordability for most agricultural products while allowing for competitiveness in other export-oriented commodities: banana, aquaculture products, and even coconut," he adds.
Briones believes that farmers provided alternatives are most likely to transition from growing crops that are not profitable to crops that can bring them more income. He cites rice farmers who only earn an average of P16,251 per hectare per cropping, as opposed to farmers who grow onion bulbs that can earn an average of P302,070 per hectare per cropping.
It's doubly lamentable that despite the low income of Filipino rice farmers, our rice sometimes costs twice more than imported rice, according to the National Economic and Development Authority. It's doubly lamentable that despite the low income of Filipino rice farmers, our rice sometimes costs twice more than imported rice, according to the National Economic and Development Authority . The local production of rice has not helped lower prices; even the National Food Authority has admitted that transporting palay from the provinces to Metro Manila adds as much as P1 per kilo to the price of rice.
Another possible reason why RA 8178 has not been fully implemented is that some schemers sees it as nothing more than a tool for corruption, As it is, despite RA 8178, virtual monopolies in the importation of agricultural products continue to exist. Whether wittingly or unwittingly, undue regulation, in the form of restrictions outside of what the law provides, has allowed certain quarters to grant "special favors" to a select few.
This is the kind of perversion of the Agricultural Tariffication Act that we must all guard against.

Told My Church To Get A Paddle! ;)
At our church, once a month we have cake or cupcakes to celebrate the birthdays and anniversaries in our church that month. A number of families have gone glutten free... so it was brought up to see if we should think of another way to celebrate. It was put up online to add ideas. Some ideas were tossed out, and you know I had to be smart. I suggested we get a paddle, hang it up by the front door, and bring it out for birthday spankings once a month. Oh yes, I did! LOL
I figure, if I have to be secret about this lifestyle, I might as well have fun with it when I can! :) Now to see if the Duke ever lets me talk without explicit written permission EVER again. ;)
So, after how great last week was, this week was hard. I was stressed, work was overwhelming. The Duke kind of stepped back near the middle of the week, and I felt adrift. Fast forward to last night, and the Duke told me it was time for maintenance. He sat up against the headboard of our bed, and waited for me to climb over his lap. And he waited. He waited a long whle. I sat at the foot of our bed, basically as far as I could without falling over, with one leg draped over the side to help balance me out. I wans't budging. Now, I did put my laptop away as asked, but that was about it.
Why? I want to tell you that my normal submissive self made an appearance and listened to reason, but you've never known me to be a liar, and I'm not going to start now, though, it would make me look a lot better if just this one time I let you believe the deception and not the truth. BUT, the truth is, submissive Es May had not only left the building, she left the whole friggin county! A small part of me fought to go to him, the rest planted myself at the end of that bed, and I wouldn't be going any closer.
As many of you know, being submissive, set adrift, hurt, harden to survive, rewind, repeat, it sucks. I was confused. I was hurt. I felt lost. Going over his knee was the last thing that would help me in that moment. So I talked to him. I told him I either needed a committment from him, or we needed to stop. I either need us to live DD, or not, and not do half and half. He couldn't ask me to follow a rule three days a week and then tell me if was okay to break it the other four days. I was so confused. And every time he put a rule aside, literally at times telling me I could break it, I no longer felt important. I felt like I was too much work, and too much to handle.
I couldn't go over his lap. The trust was gone. I wanted it back, but I couldn't force it, I tried, it wasn't working. I felt like he wasn't doing this for our marriage. I felt he didn't care to help me. I felt useless, and like a burden, and stupid for needing his direction so much. I felt like he'd do DD if it was fun and convenient, and not when it wasn't.
I told him all of this, and he told me he'd follow through. I told him he'd said that so many times, and I let him keep trying, but I just didn't know how to make my heart and head switch back this time, I really didn't. I also told him love him, for who he is, and don't want him to have to become someone else. I told him I was okay stepping back from DD, I have said this to him before, but that I can't do the back and forth. It hurts too much, I get too confused.
All the sudden I was yanked over his lap. I started saying "I don't want this, no, I don't want this!" I was fighting, within second I was bawling, and I said it over and over for several minutes. But he kept smacking my bottom until I could no longer talk. He hit so hard at one point I whipped around angry, and asked him what he thought he was doing. But then he forced me back, and I just bawled. I was almost hiccuping I was crying so hard.
It too me a while after the spanking to be okay. But I was. I usually smile right after a spanking, this time I didn't. But it was more because I was pondering. {This morning, I almost kicked myself for singing with a smile all over my face.}
I was still pondering an hour later at bedtime. The Duke wanted me to go to bed. I didn't want to go. Ten smacks. He told me again, I still didn't want to go. I honestly wasn't testing him... though that surprises me, usually I only defy him on the few times I've tested him. I just wanted to finish some stuff up on the computer. Ten more swats to my backside. I told him I'd just be a minute then. Apparently that wasn't good enough because he started to head to where we keep the implements. I said "Okay! Okay! I'll put it away."
I don't know quite how I feel today. I AM glad he spanked me both times. I feel such a peace about it, more peace than I have felt in days. I have had a major migraine since this afternoon, so that has not allowed a lot of seeing how our dynamic will play out right now, but I hope it's good. I needed chocolate, it always helps settle my migraines enough for the advil to work, and he ran to the store to get it for me. He agreed to leave church a little bit early just so that I could go since work started later today. So normal day stuff, I feel loved, but I feel bad. I feel bad, because I want to feel that definition in our roles. I want to know he's leading. I feel so greedy after how nice he's been to me today. But once again, I've never lied on this blog, so I'm not about to start now. That is how selfish I'm being today, maybe I can blame it on the migraine, they do make me more needy emotionally, but I doubt it holds much clout.
Now to see how my comment about the birthday paddle goes over. ;) I won't lie, I actually did get the Duke's permission to put it up on our church discussion page. He almost said no, and then realized it really did sound innocently like a joke. :) At least I didn't put up a picture of one of ours to give them design ideas. ;)

Thank you, sunnygirl. It really did get better.Delete
I am sorry this day proved such a workout of emotions and pain. The DD road is often bumpy. Things will get better.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Meredith. We should get a sign. "DD, Bumpy Roat Ahead, Proceed With Caution" ;)Delete
Dd is a rollercoaster and it's a rough ride. I keep hoping it gets easier with time. I hope it does for you too. I love the paddle suggestion! TaraReplyDeleteReplies
Tara, I'm not sure it gets easier, but it does get more and more beautiful. :) I can honestly say the ups and downs still don't hinder how close we keep growing. :) And glad you liked the paddle suggestion. It felt so free to say it. lolDelete
Hey Es May...you are a woman after my own heart...love that you suggested a paddle. ;)ReplyDelete
Sweetie...please do not get frustrated...remember what I told you in your last post. Go read that last post...pick yourself up and remember tomorrow is another day.
Sending lots of positive energy your way.
You know, while I was going through a hard time last week, I did keep quoting to myself the words you gave me to my last post. They were a great encouragement, and I thank you so much for them.Delete
Hey honey :)ReplyDelete
I loved your suggestion, now I'm wondering what the responses are, got to keep us posted lol
I'm sorry you feel hurt with the back and forth, I think we all to some extent suffer from this, I wish there was something profound I had to tell you, which would fix all this, but I haven't.
But over the last week things are starting to click in my head and I'm finding myself questioning my own needs for this lifestyle. Not that I don't want to live this way, but why I have a need to be held accountable or why I need his consistency and also why the ups and downs happen. I think I'm on the verge of an epiphany, and thinking of blogging about it. Just need to find the words lol
I think what I'm trying to say is, what we " me" need to figure out is, what we want to achieve with this life and whether we can do it without the constant accountability???? Yeah sorry I'm usin your post to ramble, am I making any sense at all?
Hugs babe, I really hope things work out soon and you both find the path that suits you as a couple best xReplies
Ramble away, I love it when you do. :) I think you are right, and it's caused me to think a lot about this this week. I really liked what you said about what we want to achieve with this life, and can we do it without constant accountability. It's one I plan to keep pondering over. :)Delete
Hey Es May,ReplyDelete
I love your suggestion of the paddle LoL. You have to tell us what the reaction is! I'm so sorry you are feeling this way and also hope you have managed to kick the migraine.
I understand your frustration, but it seems to me from reading this that the Duke is committed to this and I'm sure things will get back on track. I'm with Cat, have another look at your previous post :)
I think he is. We did a lot of talking this week, and realized that my view of commitment and his view of commitment to this thing is totally different. lol After much talking, we were able to find a more middle ground of our expectations. :) {{{HUGS}}}Delete
Hello Es MayReplyDelete
LOL about the suggestion to the church committee
As for you on the home front if you have to keep that communication line open with the Duke if you see him slipping or pulling back gently remind him of his commitment to you and the DD lifestyle
Thank you, Bob. Communication is wonderful, and boy have we done a lot of it since I put up this post. But it was good. A lot of emotions to get through it, but we needed to go through them to get to some healing and understandings of what each other thought and really needed. It was beautiful in the end.Delete
LOL...you are cheeky. I love it.ReplyDeleteReplies
And it felt ABSOLUTLY wonderful to suggest a paddle. I mean, how many opportunities are there to do that and not spill about our not so vanilla lifestyle? ;) There was no way I was passing that one up. :)Delete
Sometimes you just can't help but joke abstractly about it a little bit...wonder what the response will be lol!ReplyDelete
Sorry about your frustration. I think it's impossible to stay on the same page ALL the time...but how you communicate about that and how you work together to get back on track...I think that's what it's all about. Doesn't mean he isn't committed, maybe just means you needed more from him in that moment or on that day than he realized. It sounds like you worked through it just fine and I hope you feel better soon:)Replies
Thankfully, Tess, the joke was recieved well with some good natured ribbing. :) It was fun. :)Delete
And thank you, we did work through it, and made some great strides this week. Some of them very hard, all of them very worth it. :)
I think I COULD Have writtenthis same thing. If Z isn't following up or through or I feel like he is just spanking me because he is frustrated with me I just can't do it - or it at least takes me a long time. There are a lot of times where he is going through different stuff and even though he likes the lifestyle...his brain is somewhere else. I mean...at different times our brains get sidetracked right? It'll work out...just keep talking and treat him the way he wants to be treated...he will feel respected and then hopefully get back in gear - or be more receptive to a conversation about it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Ashley, your talk about respect is so true. I find myself telling him sometimes that I respect him so much, and really wish I knew how to show it better, but that I want him to know I really do respect him. And as I say it more and more, the actions follow suit. One day I'll be able to show it all the time, I hope. :)Delete
You suggested your church get a paddle??? LOL I love it! You brave girl you. ;) As for feeling needy, well, I think we all do sometimes. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, he wants you to need him, right? It's just hard when you're not feeling quite in sync with one another. I hope you're feeling better soon! (((hugs)))ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, I suggested it. hehehe Grace... thank you... that is true... he does want me to need him. I sometimes forget that, I sometimes forget I have value to him too. I tell people all they time how important they are to their husbands, but when it comes to mine... I forget. {{{HUGS}}}Delete
Just think how many other people at your church will be smiling that not so vanilla smile that you were when you put it up ;)ReplyDelete
I know! Two people commented right away say they liked my idea, all I could wonder was if they might have a secret of their own! lolDelete
The paddle is a fun suggestion, Es May!ReplyDelete
Ugh on the other stuff, but congratulations, too, for laying it out for him. That can't have been easy. Wouldn't it be awesome if chocolate was the answer to making this easier, too?
Big hugs,
Chocolate would be an amazing answer to everything, but I think my hips and love handles would pay more than they already do! LOL :)Delete
I'm sorry you had to deal with the flip flop. I've been there more than once, though I hate to admit it. :( keep communicating. :)ReplyDelete
And I love the paddle at church, lol ;)Replies
Thank you, Elle, we did do a lot of communicating this week, and it was good for us. Hard at times, but so worth it. Hehehe, glad you liked the paddle idea. ;) It was fun. :)Delete
Please feel free to leave any comments, but I do ask you to be kind. We go into this with eyes wide open after months of prayer, and a peace in our hearts that this is the right choice before God for our marriage. I am open to questions from those who wonder why we made this choice, but I would ask for no personal attacks. Thank you. :)

Went to Cresswell today to try once again and see the Tiaga Bean Goose that I have chased after at both Hauxley and Longhirst flash, after it was reported at Cresswell on sunday,( check older posts).
From the hide there were the usuals as well as a little Egret being bullied by a Grey heron near the causway. After an initial scan I couldn't see anything and thought it had escaped back to Brandon Quarry, Powburn where it usually lives, that was until I noticed a large goose cleaning itself in amongst a group of cormorants on the left bank of the pond. Yes!!!
It's bright orange legs and black beak confirmed that was the goose, a lifer taking my total to 161.
Will be on holiday for a week or so now in northern Ireland and Scotland so no posts but I am planning on going to Caerlaverock N.R and Strangford Lough N.R. so hopefully when I return I will be even closer to the big 200!

On a frigid January morning, Alyssa, Jordan, and Melinda bid their pets farewell and piled into a snack-filled car. Their destination? Sundance Film Festival, in the postcard town of Park City, UT. They fought through treacherous snow, conquered formidable crowds, saw some truly kick-butt movies, and made fools of themselves over and over again (anyone know how to put chains on tires? The package said easy-on...).
Read about what delighted us, what frustrated us, the stuff we want to bring back to Boise Film Festival, and what we're happy to leave in Utah:
1. What is your favorite memory from Sundance? What excited/moved you most?
ALYSSA: The energy you feel is inimitable. Surrounded by others from around the world and sharing these experiences--everybody is open and passionate, and the atmosphere is contagious.
A moment that will forever remain the most notable for me was being in the theatre during Assassination Nation. I have not felt that moved by a film in a long time--it was honest, real, and empowering. You know you're in the middle of something good when the audience stands and cheers, gasps, laughs, and cries--all within the first hour of the film.
Having the opportunity to see RuPaul Charles speak on stage was a dream come true. His insights on life and releasing the Ego to become who you truly spoke to me on a deep level. Getting to party with him later on was simply the cherry on top.
JORDAN: Highlights include watching Assassination Nation months before it takes the world by storm, sitting in a crowd of RuPaul fans with the queen herself only feet away, making connections with fellow volunteers, and strengthening my relationships with Melinda and Alyssa, the ultimate BFFs.
Also, there's a quality that embeds itself in the very air of a film festival: a shared excitement for film, a feeling that everyone gathered in this tiny town has at least one thing in common, the buzz of too many films and not enough time--let's call it inspiration.
MELINDA: I loved getting to know our BFF team better as well as meeting all of our fellow volunteers. The camaraderie of the Sundance volunteer community is incredible and we felt very proud to be such an integral part of making Sundance happen. I was most excited to see how comparable BFF is to Sundance--while not on the same scale, BFF is also curating innovative and exciting programming for our Festival attendees and local film community that are right in line with the direction Sundance is taking (with a Boise twist).
2. What is the biggest lesson you learned at Sundance? What's one thing that you would like to bring back to BFF?
ALYSSA: In regards to running a festival, the most impactful thing I took away is that despite all of the preparations and practice, nothing ever goes perfectly. There will always be bumps in the road or things that need reconfiguring last minute. Even the most well-oiled machine still has its ups and downs! As Director of Events, this was a comforting realization to have.
There are a million and one ideas running through my head after this festival, but something that struck me as paramount to integrate into BFF is all of the events outside of just watching films. We already have panels and workshops, but being at Sundance gave me ideas for so many other interactive facets of the festival. There is much more magic to be made outside of just the film programming, and I cannot wait to integrate it into BFF 2018! (Also having a bumper song that gets stuck in your head, so by the end of the festival you can't stop singing it!)
JORDAN: I really admired how clearly the festival admired their volunteers and filmmakers. Before many of the screenings they played a spot that asked everyone to applaud the volunteers that made the screening happen, and when we were wearing our bright blue volunteer jackets--even when we weren't on shift--Melinda, Alyssa, and I would often get thanked by passersby for volunteering our time. There was a volunteer appreciation day, a volunteer party, and a volunteer pass granted access to just about any screening, party, or panel (if you were willing to spend an hour or two in line, which was the case even if you'd paid for tickets). All that said, there was definitely some room for improvement in how the volunteers were trained and utilized while on-shift, but they deserve some slack for having to confront the task of managing ~2,000 of us. I'd love for BFF to have a volunteer program that equipped its volunteers to be effective and confident in how they help, as well as grants some sweet, sweet perks.
MELINDA: The biggest takeaway was how seriously Sundance took everyone's safety and enjoyment of the Festival. We'll definitely be implementing more systems for BFF2018 that take safety, security, and comfort into effect.
On a lighter note, Sundance created a film poster coloring book for attendees, which is something I'd love to incorporate at BFF2018 with an Idaho film theme.
3. What do you wish Sundance had done differently?
ALYSSA: From the standpoint of someone who has attended Sundance a handful of times, attending this year was a bit overwhelming. There was such a large number in attendance, that I got the particular vibe that more people were there to be seen, make an appearance at parties, and be a part of the spectacle than they were to really immerse themselves into the programming. As a film festival developer, it truly opened my eyes to what I want the scale of BFF to be and gave me a more solid idea of where I see our festival in the future. We do not want to be the next Sundance or TIFF, we are Boise Film Festival.
JORDAN: Lines, crowds, and waiting, oh my! Standing in line for a couple of hours to see the world premier of an exciting new movie as a volunteer is one thing, but eleven days spent corralled in tents with hundreds of other people, none of whom are even sure whether they'll get into a movie that's apparently just so-so is, well, exhausting.
Sundance is one of the largest and most recognizable film festivals out there, so there are a whole lot of people dumped in a tiny, tiny town for just a few days. While some could view BFF's smaller numbers as a shortcoming, I found myself absolutely craving the smaller audiences, the lack of lines, the much, much less intimidating parties. We skipped out on a lot that Sundance had to offer because we simply couldn't afford to spend a minute longer as an anonymous member of a crowd, and I found myself really glad that that isn't the case for our festival.
- MELINDA: We took a lot away regarding how their volunteer program is set up and what we would/wouldn't incorporate into ours. A better understanding of what was needed on a day to day basis for volunteers would have saved us a lot of painful sitting around time.
4. What advice do you have for someone who plans on making the trip down to Utah in the coming years?
ALYSSA: Don't be afraid to strike up a conversation. Some of the greatest connections we made were with people standing in line with us, and everybody is there to network and meet potential collaborators. Also, fair warning, you'll be standing in a LOT of lines. Oh, and pack twice as many socks as you think you'll need!
JORDAN: Volunteer part-time for the second half of the festival! We calculated that that'd be the way to maximize the amount of time spent at screenings and parties without wasting your whole trip on-shift. Also, make friends early! Just like high school, everyone there will be nervous about making friends but too cool to show it--just cut through the crap and say hi!
MELINDA: Drive there with your friends to ensure countless sing-a-long time, utilize the bus and shuttle system, don't worry too much about all the parties - the films and fellow volunteers are what make it special.

Cailin Gagnon speaks at the Winkler Senior Centre about how to recognize the signs of elder abuse and what can be done if someone is being abused.
June 15 marked World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. The yearly, world-wide event aims to start the conversation about elder abuse, a problem that can often be misunderstood and swept under the rug.
"This is an issue that isn't necessarily talked about as much," Services to Seniors program specialist at Southern Health-Santé Sud Cailin Gagnon said. "By having this day, it's providing relevance to the topic and encouraging people to ask for support and help if they need it."
Gagnon gave a presentation at the Winkler Senior Centre about how to recognize the sign of elder abuse, and how to get help or step in if you see it happening. Abuse of older adults is categorized as harm caused by someone who limits or control their rights and freedoms. When someone uses their power to take advantage of, influence, neglect or harm an older adult, this counts as abuse. Abuse can be physical, verbal, financial, sexual and spiritual.
People experiencing abuse can feel small and powerless. Some abuse will be evident, but some abuse may be subtle and hard to see. Some of the warning signs can be depression or withdrawal from social activities, signs of neglect like little food in the house, and injuries that can't be explained. These warning signs should flag your attention and let you look closer at the situation.
Gagnon urged people to recognize the "ageist attitudes" (discrimination based on age) that may lead to abuse. "We talked about entitlement, children [feeling] entitled to the elder's money when they pass away," she said. "[You should be] conscious of that and also be aware of treating them with respect and treating them like anyone else in the community. They're the people that took care of you, so they deserve that respect as well."
"I think education is the biggest thing," Gagnon said. "We're hoping this information is going to be passed on to other community members, continuing the conversation and making sure that it remains relevant."
While the exact numbers aren't known (often because people aren't comfortable reporting the abuse) the latest figures estimate that 5 to 10 per cent of older adults experience some form of abuse. "We're thinking it's a lot higher," Gagnon said.
One of the most important things you can do as a witness is interrupting the isolation. "If [you're] seeing that someone is not participating in activities as much anymore, is removed, is showing signs of physical abuse, [you can] ask if they're okay," Gagnon said. "Open that door to see if they are, in fact, suffering from abuse and if they're comfortable talking about it."
If you think you or someone you know may be experiencing senior abuse, call the Senior's Abuse Support Line (24/7) at 1-888-896-7183 or visit seniorsabusesupport.ca. The Support Line is toll-free and confidential.

Taxman triumphs in Boake Allen case
House of Lords backs HMRC in tax battle over companies with foreign parents
House of Lords backs HMRC in tax battle over companies with foreign parents
The House of
Lords today dealt a crushing blow to a group of non-EU companies
with UK subsidiaries seeking to claim back tax because their countries had tax
treaties with the UK.
The Lords ruled 5-0 in favour of HM Revenue & Customs in what has become
known as the Boake Allen case.
The companies leading the action were based in Japan, the US and Switzerland.
The claim arose because the UK subsidiary of a foreign parent which paid a
dividend, in effect paid its corporation tax earlier than it would have done if
it had a UK parent.
The Lords ruled that the tax treaties the claimants were basing their case on
were far more limited in their scope than the
EU treaty, which businesses
with EU parents had successfully used to win a similar claim.
'This case is likely to make it very much harder for foreign multinationals
to make claims based on EU tax cases,' said Bill Dodwell, head of tax policy at

Yesterday I finally salvaged the (most of) the hard disc of one of the many computers that have crashed on me in the past few years... And I found some music I had all but forgotten that I love. Much of isn't necessary even really that great, but each song seems to mean so much, at least sometimes. This I listened to in Saint Petersburg on the day I turned 23, and did so many other silly things.
After a day like today it feels like forever ago, but perhaps I have not forgotten.

BRUSSELS, December 20. /ITAR-TASS/. European Commission does not see any grounds for continuing talks on signing an association agreement with the incumbent Ukrainian leadership in the current situation, Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said Friday upon the end of the EU winter summit.
He said the commission did not see any willingness on the part of Kiev to sign an agreement and hence it did not find it necessary to hold the talks that had not been confirmed by a clear position of the partners.
Barroso said he had spoken twice to President Viktor Yanukovich of Ukraine since the mishap summit of the so-called 'eastern partnership' in Vilnius at the end of November, EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Catherine Ashton had visited Kiev and Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Arbuzov had come to Brussels.
Following the results of these talks, the EU did not see any clear position on the part of the Ukrainian government as regards the Association Agreement.

The Muskegon Lumberjacks are pumping up the volume for their fans in many ways – some more literal than others.
The organization, in its inaugural season in the United States Hockey League, has paid close attention to the fans' suggestions, and has already made great strides in order to make Lumberjacks games the premier entertainment option on the Lakeshore.
After an immense upgrade of the L.C. Walker Arena's sound system during the offseason, the Lumberjacks have further enhanced it, adding thunderous subwoofers while maintaining clarity.
But that's just the audio. The Lumberjacks have also expanded their brand-new video board's capabilities. The jumbotron now boasts replay capability so that fans can get another look at the Lumberjacks' prettiest goals and their most bone-crushing body checks.
Frontier Communications has been brought aboard and is implementing arena-wide Wi-Fi that can be accessed for free by all visitors of the arena.
For the fans' convenience, six new credit card terminals have been added to the arena's concession stands this season. After just one stand accepted credit cards last season, all three large stands – the Lumberjacks Café, Fury Café and Walker Café – all three permanent bars and the ice cream stand are plastic-friendly.
The Lumberjacks are proud to play a role in the development of great hockey players. But the organization also takes utmost pride in the best fans in the USHL, and wants to make sure they're also the most entertained fans around.

and thus, i have decided to put the other almost-finished recipe posts on hold and indulge my over eagerness and poor time management tendencies to tell you about yesterday's delicious lunch-turned-dinner-turned-lunch dish. the added bonus? one post, two recipes!
the first is for lunchtime's carrot soup.while this simple pot wasn't quite as minimalist as my (or should i say gordon ramsay's) most recent three-ingredient broccoli soup, it was a certainly in that tradition. more and more, i'm convinced that the best soups are ones comprised of just a few raw foods. i threw this one together in under a half hour with ginger, garlic, shallots, carrots, and a vegetable broth. with a few bread rolls and some roughly chopped cilantro for garnishing, it was the perfect lunch to usher in autumn (which actually arrived in a bremen about a month ago... not that i'm bitter or anything...).later in the day, i received an email from a friend mentioning her desire to incorporate curry into everyday meals. despite being a huge fan of indian spices, i'm not head over heels for coconut milk.
you still here? if you weren't so gravely offended by this confession that you just furiously slammed your laptop screen shut - or if you're even one of those people who also maybe, sometimes, once in a while doesn't have a hankering for coconut milk (don't worry, i won't tell!) - then first of all, thank you for your tolerance and open mindedness. let's continue.
i did some online research about coconut milk substitutes. soy and almond milk and greek yogurt were all frequently mentioned. but none of these seemed appealing... which was when i realized that the real issue was that i didn't want anything of the dairy variety. which was when the even greater realization dawned upon me that the sauce i wanted was a creamy, vegan indian flavored broth. and then, dear reader, it was crystal clear: the bit of leftover carrot soup would do the trick!lo and behold! tofu and vegetables in a curry carrot sauce. served over a mound of steaming, basmati rice. aka the most heavenly, flavorful, healthy dinner i've had in a very long time. even my boyfriend declared that this was the first rice dish he had ever consumed which he actually loved! and me? well i wiped my plate clean, went back for seconds, and then ate it again today for lunch over a salad. while now i'm flying high from my culinary ascendancy to greatness and pretending like i knew it would work all along, my confidence was less than overwhelming as i prepared to undertake the soup-to-sauce venture. even as i was pouring the soup into the pan of tofu and vegetables (and ranting about how delicious this was going to turn out), i was secretely regretting not having bought and stored a frozen pizza in the freezer for back up.and yet, frozen pizza ended up not being necessary, and i think there are a few reasons why: we all know that the longer a soup sits, the better it tastes. the flavors meld and the consistency thickens. essentially, it naturally turns into a flavorful sauce anyway. so why not take advantage of that?! secondly, this vegan alternative to a milk or cream sauce gives the hearty dish a lightness that doesn't weigh you down afterwards (aka there's room for seconds! and dessert!). finally, the spices. pan frying the tofu and vegetables in mustard and cumin seeds, and then adding ground spices to the sauce give the dish a kick and reinvent the soup from earlier. so for the next time you'll be home for lunch and dinner, here are two recipes for your day.early autumn carrot soup
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, diced finely
1 tablespoon olive oil
7 carrots, washed and diced
6 cups vegetable broth
¼ cup cilantro, chopped roughly
salt and pepper to taste
in a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. once hot, add the ginger, garlic and shallots. sauté for about 5 minutes to let soften up. add carrots and enough broth to cover them. let cook, partially covered, for about a half hour, until carrots are soft but not overcooked.
puree the soup according to your chunkiness preferences. add some more water if you like a thinner consistency. salt and pepper to taste. serve with a sprinkling of cilantro.
*this will leave up to two people fully satiated. leave about 3 to 4 cups in the pot for dinner's sauce.
*this will leave up to two people fully satiated. leave about 3 to 4 cups in the pot for dinner's sauce.
tofu and vegetables in a carrot curry sauce
1 small head broccoli, in small florets
400 g extra firm tofu
100 g chanterelle mushrooms, washed and halved
1 red pepper, diced
1 onion, in long strips
4 cups leftover carrot soup (at room temperature)
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground curry
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground coriander
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup cilantro, chopped roughly
begin by preparing the tofu. unwrap and wrap in paper towels to drain the water. repreat 2 to 3 times until the tofu is dry. cut into thick strips for searing. heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. add the mustard seeds. once they begin to sizzle, add the tofu and distribute it to cover the floor of the pan. let cook, undisturbed, for around 4 minutes to sear on the first side. once lightly browned, flip over. when they are seared on both sides, remove and set aside for later.
using the same pan, heat another tablespoon of oil over medium-high. add cumin seeds. once sizzling, add all the vegetables. give them a good pinch of salt and turn the heat down to medium. sauté for about 10 minutes, until almost completely cooked. if the mushrooms have released some juices, turn the heat up to high for 2 minutes to let the liquid evaporate. add the tofu back to the pan.
now it's time to add the sauce aka the soup! pour at least 4 cups of it into the pan and give it a good shake to coat the vegetables. add the curry, turmeric and coriander and give the mixture another stir. cook for 4 or 5 minutes on low to medium to let the sauce heat up and the vegetables absorb the spices. the if the sauce is too watery for your taste, turn the heat up to high for the last two minutes before serving to thicken up the dish.
right before serving, add the cilantro to the pan. serve with basmati rice.

Valentine Treat Boxes
Getting ready for Valentine's Day is always enjoyable. I purchased four boxes of Sweethearts for $1. I created the box from pink card stock 3 1/2" x 6 3/4". I used designer paper to cover the top and the bottom of the candy box. Then I tied a 16" ribbon at the top of the candy box. The ribbon will be the pull tab to get the candy box out of the decorated box.
The same designer paper became the base for the front of the candy box. A punched scalloped piece with a punched white stamped circle were placed on dimensionals on the front of the box. A fun and easy project!

J and I were talking last night about his new life when he reports to his division. I can sense that he's a bit sad about it although he doesn't want to show it. I feel for him. I know that it will be a different story as compared to their life in PMA. Gone are the days of just worrying about duties, demerits, touring hours and what nots. J have always been telling me that life is indeed easier as a cadet. Although there's no freedom when you're inside the academy, everything is taken cared of when you're there. After their graduation, they were finally freed from the rules inside PMA but it also meant being responsible for everything that you do with that freedom. It also meant looking after yourself as there will be no tac-o's, commandants, instructors to look after your every move from then on.
Getting deployed also meant separation from his mistah (term they use for their batchmates). After 4 years of being together 24/7 inside the academy, they will now be distributed across the country. Just the thought of it saddens me. I even joke him na ako yung nalulungkot para sa kanya. Goodbyes are always difficult. Though I know J had already set his mind that this will happen eventually, I can feel his sadness when he talks about his mistahs leaving the barracks to go to their assignments. Ako pa nga yung naiiyak. I've somehow got to bond with some of his mistahs over the past couple of months. I've been with them in out of town trips and occassional dinners and gimiks. I had a glimpse of what they were like and how bonded they are with each other. For that short time I was with them, I can say that I'm going to miss them... how much more for J. But he (and all of his batchmates) don't have a choice but to move on. This bittersweet phase will soon be replaced by the reality that lies ahead. The reality that I'm having difficulty getting to terms with.
As the cliche goes, for every ending there's always a beginning. They will now be beginning their life as junior officers of the Philippine Army. Challenging is an understatement to describe their line of work. Nevertheless, I have faith in them that they would be responsible officers of our country. To the Maragtas Class, good luck! Make us proud! =)
