We're not sure where she discovered this gesture, but it's about the cutest thing you'll ever see. (Of course, that cuteness ends at about the tenth time she intentionally knocks over her milk just so she can say, "Uh-oh.") haha!

Essential Scrapping Tool
I have lots of tools I must have to create a page: x-acto knife, straight edge, various adhesives, punches (I love punches). But the one I consider my most essential is my computer.
Yes, that is it. (The desk is only that clean about once a year.)
I use it in almost every stage of creating layouts. In the very beginning, I use it to edit photos. Then I use those photos in a quick mock layout in Photoshop. I pop photos, colored shapes standing in for patterned paper, journaling, title into a PS document to figure out the overall design.
After that's done, I print the journaling out on cardstock, and the photos in the appropriate sizes. While referencing the screen layout, I build the rest of the page, using real patterned paper and embellishments. Half of the time, the finished product looks just like the mock layout. And there are those times when I change everything. But either way, it's nice to have worked out some design issues before I stick things down permanently.
Sometimes, I print journaling and photos together (I use photo paper when I do that). I finish the layout by adding little details using paper/embellishments. Super time saver!
In this layout, I added the title, the teeny strip of paper at the bottom, and the heart epoxy detail on top.
In this one, I added strips of blue and orange paper, the fork, the heart, and then rubbed on the title (on photo, to the left).
And for this layout, I printed the photos together on one sheet, leaving space for patterned paper. Saved me from having to print individual photos, cut them out, and glue them back together on a grid (which would require this annal retentive scrapbooker to break out a T-square to make sure the photos are straight).
What is your favorite scrapbooking tool? How do you use it? Please share with us. Also, join us on Flickr and share your layouts.

"Mwana wabata moto unodzidza juti unopisa, benzi ibenzi rinozvibvura!" So goes the Shona adage. (The child who touches fire soon learns that it burns, the fool never learns and so will roast himself!)
After 34 years at the very heart of the Zanu PF dictatorship plus two years cooling-off period one would have thought Mai Mujuru and her ZPF followers have finally learned something. Sadly, they are the same blunder idiots they were in 1980, remained so throughout the 34 years in Zanu PF and are set to continue blundering into the future!
"We want to apologise to the masses of Zimbabwe because we dumped them soon after independence. We are saying we are coming back to you. We want to listen and we want the problems that people are facing resolved," said Elliot Kasu, the interim chairperson of the ZPF Freedom Fighters Council (FFC).
"After the liberation struggle we were dumped and we continue to be dumped. So, we are saying let us go back to the 1980s."
In one breath, he acknowledges that war veterans betrayed the people but has clearly not thought through as how that happened, specifically the role Joice Mujuru and other ZPF leaders played and war veterans like him played. In the next breath he is back to his and Mai Mujuru's favourite theme blaming Mugabe and those still in Zanu PF for "dumping" them!
Frank Badza, who is Secretary General of FFC said the same thing in different words.
"The revolution was derailed following the liberation struggle and it continues to go off the rails up to this day. So, we have been figuring out where we went wrong," said Frank Badza.
"We entirely accept the blame for the fall of this country and the abandonment of the values of the liberation struggle. We did not realise our objectives because some of the forefathers were not there at the end and it was hijacked by some who wanted to build their names, yet their contribution was far less.
"As freedom fighters, we realised that if we follow People First, we will remove people from this dictatorship. We were used to put Mugabe in power and we were used to prop up his rule and maintain it until 2014 when we were hounded from the party.
Again the same thing, a quick acknowledgement that the Zimbabwe is in a serious economic mess and the most sorrowful and sonorous words of regret they were "hounded from the party".
Joice Mujuru, who attended the press conference above, has given a number of press interviews herself since December 2014 has to apologized to the people of Zimbabwe for the mess the country is in. She has been a cabinet member for 34 years, the last ten of which she was President Mugabe's number two and yet she accepts no responsibility for anything. She saw nothing, she maintains, because "puppies do not open their eyes the day they born".
Well Kasu, Badza, Mujuru and the rest of these ZPF people have not been listening or they are all stone deaf because if they have been listening they would know by now that;
a) they have all been at the very heart of this Zanu PF dictatorship and, after 34 years, they cannot walk away and pretend they saw nothing, heard nothing and they as dumb as the moon. They are all as guilty of landing the nation in this mess as President Mugabe, Mnangagwa, Jabulani Sibanda and all the others.
b) There is a lot more to this corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship than the one or two individuals that has allowed it to take firm root in Zimbabwe; it is the ethos that shared by most freedom fighters that by being a freedom fighter they know best and therefore everyone else must listen to them and do as they say. Well, history has shown that war veterans do not have the monopoly of knowledge, the nation would not be in this economic and political mess if they did.
c) And, more significantly, if we are serious about ending the mess then it is not enough to just remove Mugabe and one or two others from power and change the name of the party from Zanu PF to ZPF. We must dismantle the whole dictatorship edifice including the erroneous belief that war veterans know best on which the dictatorship is grounded.
What Zanu PF has done since independence in April 1980 is systematically corrupt the nation's democratic institutions so they served the party's selfish interest of remaining in power at all cost. Security Chefs were brainwashed into announcing that they would not salute anyone "with no liberation war credentials".
The war veterans were brainwashed into believing all opposition parties were sponsored by the West to bring about regime change. So, the regime granted them carte blanche powers to abuse the people denying them their freedoms and rights including the right to free and fair elections in the name of stopping regime change.
The sheer stupidity of both the security chefs and the war veterans was exposed by their failure to see that this no regime change mantra was incompatible with the regime's claim that elections were free, fair and credible. If they had any common sense at all they should have also realised that the country's failure to have a democratically accountable government was the root cause of the country's economic decline!
"We know as war veterans that if we win elections it will be difficult for them to deny us power as they did with Tsvangirai," said Badza.
In other words, he and his FFC friends still believe in they know best.
Chris Mutsvangwa who is leading the other group of war veterans who have remain in Zanu PF are right now in the middle of a serious power struggle in which Mutsvangwa and company still maintains the view that as war veterans "they are the stockholders of Zimbabwe" and thus wield the veto when it comes to deciding who rules the country.
Kasu, Badza, Mutsvangwa, Sibanda and all the other war veterans be you members of Mujuru's FFC or Mugabe's WNLWVA, it real does matter; President Mugabe, VP Mnangagwa, former VP Mujuru and all the other Zanu PF buffoons brainwashed you lot into believing that they, by virtue of having been the leaders in the liberation struggle, knew best. Well the truth is they are just as fallible as everyone else and the country would not be in such a mess if they were infallible.

People should read books instead of getting headaches from tv books can help you learn you know there are more books then tv you know why because to read books then watching dull tv books are truthful
And tv are liars they lie to people to buy books come on people say it with me READ BOOKS FOREVER THEN WATCHING DULL TV
Tv gives you poor eyesight and gives you headache and don't
Give you any information and help you learn anything anyways
Reading can give you lots of information and facts books can help you
Improve your fluency and you can use imagenation and imagen you are in another world happy books
C'mon, reading has been here a long time ago, that's true, but it doesn't mean that TVS are better,just because it's technology, TVS destroy your eyesight anyways so why TVS? In books you can find the information faster, it's better than spending 5 hours looking through the channels, as for me, I choose books, I don't know about you but this is what I'd rather have, I hope this helped a bit
Don't you want to read a book, than getting your EYES RED AND SICK?
Reading improves your vocabulary. But tv make your EYES RED !!!!!!!!!!
Reading also improves your speeches when you performe or something, read is a great way to improve your vocabulary, your speeches and you emotion feelings. READ YOUR BOOOKKK NNNOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It helps your brain grow and you learn with books not with television like cooking books ,science books, picture books and fact books. Tv makes you lazy and crazy. Tv makes you have bad eyesight with more terrible effects waiting to happen to you. You can use your imagination with books.
Reading is much better then tv because tv gives you a lot of headaches of watching on screen books will help you learn a lot and tv sometimes LIE to the people to buy it books also power out tv won't work if there is the power out books are reading better why do you think they invented books come on people in the world say it with me READ BOOKS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
Reading helps you expand your mind and go through a new adventure.It helps you get/improve your vocabulary and it takes you through a new adventure. Reading is also fun, in boring times it is amusing. Reading even relaxes your eyes from television, because when you are very close to the television it harms your eyes.
Reading can use your imagination and can make your life easier so i think that reading is so much better then watching TV. If you like soccer then you can read books about it and go on google to search information about that topic. So that is why reading is better than TV.
Books are way better than T.V because they expand your imagination and help you get better at your vocabulary. Do you watch a T.V show and want to go get a snack well when you do that you miss half of it, but if you have a book you can stop the and come back and not miss a thing. That's why I say that books are way BETTER than T.V.

Grown-ups have no imagination while some kids are smarter than them.Grown-ups think reading old books are better than watching fashionable television. Just think ........ Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a grown-up i have terrible thoughts when i think about it.
Written be 8 year old Olivia.
When you were a baby did you learn you knowledge from a book. You learn it from watching television, nursery rhymes. You would of learned your alphabet, your counting so how is books better that television. Grown ups need television cause they need to have imagination like kids they say television is bad for you but we are who we are from television. So I rest my case about television being better than reading some old books.
Written by Olivia the AMAZING 8 year old.
Your brain has to do a lot more work when reading than when watching television. You have to read the words, follow the plot, make predictions, and so much more than just process a bright flashing light in front of you. When reading before bed, you will find that you get tired a lot more quickly and fall asleep VERY faster. Warning: An exception to this is when you are deep into a super interesting book, then you might end up staying up all night to read and find out what happens .
Tv is way better than books because It will fully inspire you to what you want to grow up to be and do and make a difference it is also more interesting and it can educate you in alot of different ways and you loose alot more calories watching tv than reading a book it can be good to stay awake at sleep overs and would you really read a book instead of watching tv? The world at a different perspective! You can actually see it and it is amazing how they could actually make a tv they didn't make tv for you to read a book. Think about it !
Tv is way easier to read/watch than books and books are so boring. And on tv there is a lot more things to do like play station, Netflix and apple tv. And if we didn't have tv we wouldn't have play station and xbox and wii and wii u. Then it would be so boring.
/I don't understand why all of my friends think reading is fun. I only know one person who would agree with me that books are boring and will only make you a nerd.
/Now, for example, a movie and a book. Likely, the book will waste more time than if you were watching the movie.
/Television is better because it can make people entertained and relaxed if they are tired. In my opinion, it is also more enjoyable than reading books - books are boring, no matter how amazing they are.
/Now, I read somewhere that people stare blankly while watching TV and not books because books are more interesting. That's actually not the case with me. I don't remember a time where I didn't stare blankly while watching TV, but there have been multiple occasions when I stare blankly at a book and have no idea what I just read.
/Can someone please explain to me how reading is fun?
Tv is one of the most insightful,influencial creations in our generation, it has allowed us to see a completely accurate picture of the what happens around the world,in the past, future and present. Books do allow you to learn more but tv has allowed us to view the world in a differentway.
Ayy lmao

After putting this post together, all I can say is WOW! Nine Christmases together. Brian looks so young in our first picture and my hair was so long! My favorite part was seeing the additions to our family and how those additions changed over the years- it is so much easier to see the change in children rather than adults.
Most of these are our Christmas photos from each year. Our photo for 2009 was only of Addie so I just found a family photo of all of us around that time of the year. Last year, I did not send out Christmas cards- you know, new baby and all :)

IN THE HOUSE ~ Debate ~ C-18, An Act to reorganize the Canadian Wheat Board and to make consequential and related amendments to certain Acts
October 20th, 2011 - 4:10pm
41st Parliament, 1st Session
Context : Questions and Comments
M. Peter Julian: Monsieur le Président, j'apprécie beaucoup la question de mon collègue de Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, une question de très grande qualité, par rapport à la dernière question qu'on a eue des conservateurs, qui était de mauvaise qualité à mon avis. Le député de Chicoutimi—Le Fjord fait une très bonne représentation en ce Parlement, même s'il n'y est que depuis quatre mois. J'ai vécu à Chicoutimi et je reconnais la qualité des représentations qu'il fait dans ce Parlement.
La question est très bonne, très simple et très claire: quel va être l'impact économique sur les fermiers — les fermiers du blé par exemple — de l'Ouest canadien? Les conservateurs n'ont aucun intérêt à divulguer s'ils ont fait des études, car ils savent très bien que la terminaison de la Commission canadienne du blé va mener à une diminution du revenu familial des fermiers. On parle d'une situation où ce sont les familles, mais aussi toute la communauté, qui vont souffrir de cet impact économique. Or le gouvernement n'a fourni aucun chiffre.
Context : Debate
Mr. Peter Julian (Burnaby—New Westminster, NDP): Mr. Speaker, I had understood that a Conservative was going to rise and speak at this point but, after hearing the force of the arguments from this side of the House, Conservatives have decided not to participate in the debate. I think that is very welcome.
I have heard some of the comments the Conservatives were making earlier. I will start at that point because the government's tendency has been to constantly, significantly and regularly divide one Canadian from another, one region from another and one type of Canadian from another. That was not the Conservatives' hallmark before the election campaign. Members will remember they were wearing sweater vests and saying they were going to be a moderate government. One of their commitments at that so-called moderate time was to keep the Wheat Board.
However, since the election the Conservatives have taken off the sweater vests and they have become incredibly intransigent and ideological in the kinds of things they are bringing forward to this House. One thing that clearly indicates that shift to fight for radical-type, right-wing politics' privatization agenda is what the Conservatives would do with the Wheat Board. Marketing choice, what a crock.
We see that the farmers in western Canada voted 62% to retain the single desk on wheat and the government says it is going to run roughshod over those western farmers. On this side of the House, the NDP caucus is saying we are going to stand up for that 62% of western farmers and we are going to say "no" to this bill.
The other aspect that has been brought forward by members of the Conservative Party is that somehow the Canadian Wheat Board would continue. When we read through Bill C-18, we see the parts that deal directly with the dissolution of the Canadian Wheat Board. The Conservatives will say that is not their plan for the moment but we know that the intent is to remove what has been a mainstay for western farmers for generations.
Coming from British Columbia and being part of what we have seen in western Canada over generations, it is fair to say that we have often seen governments in Ottawa neglect or not address western Canadian concerns. It is particularly surprising to me that we see the government putting ideology over what should be a forthwith and significant effort to listen to what western farmers have had to say about the Wheat Board and to look at the significant economic benefit that western farmers get from the Canadian Wheat Board.
When farmers in western Canada, given a plebiscite, vote significantly with a strong majority of 62% saying they want to retain the single desk for wheat, why would a government then say that farmers' opinions are not important, that how the farmers have voted is not something it is going to consider?
It is clear to us on this side of the House that the Conservatives are not willing to listen to western farmers. They are not willing to engage or in any way allow western meat or barley farmers to vote or consult on this issue. As the leader of the opposition, the member for Hull—Aylmer, said yesterday in the House, the Conservatives are breaking the laws that say that the Wheat Board needs to have consultations with farmers and to have that vote from farmers before the government could proceed. The government is choosing not to do that and run roughshod.
Worse, we are now seeing closure being brought in this debate. After one day of discussion, the Conservatives realize they are losing this debate, that they do not have substantive facts to bring forward and they do not even have a business plan. They did not do an impact study. They have done nothing except rely on their base ideological beliefs.
Context : Debate
After only one day of debate, the government found it had increasing difficulty making its views known, so it brought in closure. It is running roughshod. Not only is it saying that it will break the law and run roughshod over the clearly-expressed opinions of western farmers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, 62% of which are saying yes to the Canadian Wheat Board and the single desk, it is now saying it does not want this debate to get out. It does not want to hear from the public and it does not want the public to have time to react to this. It does not want democracy to have its place and it certainly does not want to consult with western farmers because they will reject what it is putting forward, so it is going to use a sledgehammer and shut down Parliament.
It is fair to say that if the government has its way, for years to come many people in western Canada will remember how it decided to run roughshod over western Canadians through these actions. The NDP will continue to speak for western farmers and all western Canadians and bring their point of view to the House of Commons because we understand this is a fundamental debate.
It is not just the fact that the plebiscite showed very clearly that 62% of western farmers wanted to keep the single desk, it is also the fact that Conservative MPs actively campaigned to gut the democratically-elected members of the board of directors of the Canadian Wheat Board. Year after year there continues to be a strong majority of western farmers who support it. We are not talking about one single plebiscite or referendum that the government is ignoring. Despite the keenest, most basest ideological attempt to gut the Canadian Wheat Board, western farmers said no time after time. They elected a majority of members on the board of directors who support the CWB.
What we are talking about is a systematic pattern of arrogance, running roughshod and trampling on western farmers, despite the fact that they have clearly expressed their support for the Canadian Wheat Board time and time again. Why is that? I know you do not come from western Canada, Mr. Speaker, but you can certainly understand that historically western farmers were cast adrift by Ottawa due to policies of both the former Conservative and Liberal governments time and time again. Western farmers had to organize and push.
Western Canadians, generally, have had to push things that were often of benefit to the entire country as well. We will recall, of course, that the federal Parliament refused to hear anything having to do with public health care. It was a western Canadian and a western Canadian freely and democratically-elected administration under the direction of Tommy Douglas in Saskatchewan that established public health care in this country and now all Canadians enjoy it.
Western Canadian innovations include a lot of other things. As we well know, the co-operative movement, particularly in the agricultural sector, was born and prospered in western Canada, as well as the credit union movement, which is very popular in Quebec through the Caisse populaire but its strongest area is in western Canada. The co-operative wheat pools were brought together by farmers. It was Canadian farmers saying they needed this kind of single desk that led to the actions a few generations ago to establish the Canadian Wheat Board.
Why did farmers want that? Why have farmers continued to support it year after year despite the actions of first the Conservative Party in opposition and now the Conservative Party in government trying to beat them back with a sledgehammer saying that they are wrong and the government is right. A few folks in Ottawa are saying western farmers are wrong and the government is right. Why have farmers supported the Canadian Wheat Board year after year? It is very simple. The reasons are economic.
Context : Questions and Comments
Mr. Peter Julian: Mr. Speaker, this is exactly what we have been making as a point over the course of the few hours that the government has permitted debate, this despicable, ideological agenda, like somehow it is impossible for anybody to actually talk to a western farmer that supports the wheat board. This is the ideological mindset that is on the other side of the House, that somehow there has to be some kind of plot because how could we support the wheat board because they do not, because they are Conservatives and they do not support it.
Sixty-two per cent of western farmers said they wanted to keep the wheat board. In his riding, 62% of the farmers, on average, support the wheat board. My question back to the member is why is he not standing up for farmers in his riding that support the wheat board? Why is he not standing up for them? Why is he not their voice in Parliament, rather than being the voice of the Prime Minister. Rather than just throwing out these prepared speaking notes from the Prime Minister's Office, why is he not speaking up for western farmers? Why is he ripping up the mandate that he got. He should be speaking up for them. He should be speaking up on the floor. He should be--
Context : Debate
We can see what the economic basis has been for the Wheat Board. We can compare the economic indices of western farmers with those of areas that do not have a wheat board at all, such as the United States, or have done away with their wheat board, and the member for Winnipeg Centre was very passionate about what happened in Australia.
To see the economic utility of the Wheat Board, we can then understand why western farmers, despite the most mean-spirited pressure from the government in a constant and ongoing way, have continued to support the Wheat Board year after year, generation after generation. No mean-spirited, ideological attack by the Conservative government, taking off the sweater vest and getting down to a very mean-spirited divisive business, is going to change the fact that the economic realities have been good for western farmers.
To compare the Wheat Board, the single best marketing power that western farmers have, with what happened in Australia and continues to exist in the United States, we see a profound economic benefit to the Wheat Board in the same way as, such that the NDP has always defended, supply management. Supply management and the Wheat Board provide the collective force that makes a real difference to agriculture communities. When we talk about the economic benefits, it is not just for the farmers themselves, it is for the entire community.
When we look at the supply managed sector, which has been a Canadian innovation, the Conservatives pay lip service to defending it, but they are ready to sell it out at a moment's notice. I know this because I have been on the trade committee for seven years, and every year since the Conservatives have been elected, bureaucrats come and talk about what portion of supply management the Conservative government was willing to sell out. We know what the economic ramifications are for that.
It is similar to the Wheat Board. There are economic ramifications. For the Australian wheat farmers, since they did away with and privatized a similar body, their revenues fell. Predictions were made at the time that it would particularly impact the smaller farmers, those with less clout. Those predictions, sadly, have come to pass.
In the United States, we have seen a similar situation. It has been unfortunate that there is not the same degree of collective action in the United States. They are often at the mercy of big multinational grain companies. Farm income has steadfastly, over the last few years, fallen considerably in proportion to the average American household.
In Canada, the area that has the lowest level of farmer seats is the province of Alberta. Why is it that agricultural management in Alberta has meant that farmers are poorer off than anywhere else in the country?
It is a very simple question to answer. Right wing privatization agenda, the type of mean-spirited agenda that we are now seeing from the Conservative federal government, drive down agricultural seats and drive down income in agricultural communities. In areas where there is more collective action and where there have been strong NDP governments, agricultural seats are higher.
We are seeing this mean-spirited attempt by the Conservatives to run roughshod over western farmers, even though 62% voted in favour of maintaining the single desk. That can only lead to lower incomes for most farmers.
Now Conservatives would say that they do not care about that. They just care about the top 10%, 1%, or whoever wants to contribute to their electoral fund. However, the reality is that a government has to be more mature, responsible and less ideological. A government has to look at the interests of all of the west and the interests of the agricultural communities. The government is not doing this.
I spoke earlier about the sweater vest. We remember when the Prime Minister was going around the country in a sweater vest talking about moderation and how the Conservative government would somehow be more moderate than anyone expected them to be. That was what the Conservative's commitment was.
Context: Debate
The commitment from the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, going into the election on May 2, was to let farmers decide. That was the commitment. Those were stolen votes that Conservatives were able to obtain in those key riding.
Mr. Speaker, you will remember as I do that in a lot of those hotly contested Prairie ridings, there was a hot contest between Conservatives and New Democrats. The Conservatives made that commitment that farmers would be able to make the decision.
We saw the results of that decision on September 12. It is important to read it into the record again:
Sixty-two percent of western farmers voted in favour of retaining the single desk for wheat.
It was 62%. If that is not a clear victory, then what about the Conservatives who got 35%, 37%, 38%, and perhaps someone can tell me the percentage, of the vote nationally.
If the government has a mandate with 38% of the vote, then what kind of mandate is 62% of the vote? That is a strong mandate to maintain the Canadian Wheat Board. It was 62% of farmers saying that they want to retain it.
Time and time again, despite the worst and most underhanded tactics of the government, and some of the government MPs, to try to undermine the Wheat Board, the board of directors, who are elected and maintained, are the directors who support the Wheat Board.
When that is coupled with a commitment made by the government going into the election, because I guess they were scared of losing their seats, that it would let farmers decide, and then the farmers decide, and the government says "No, the heck with that. No, we are not going to let farmers decide on this now. No, no. We have this majority with our 38% of the vote and we are going to run roughshod over that clear majority."
It was a clear majority by anyone's standard, unless one lives in Ingerhoxis, Albania. There is no reason to question 62% support for the Wheat Board that came out of the plebiscite. Yet the government with 38% of the vote is saying that it is going to stamp it down. It is going to rip it apart. The government is going to produce Bill C-18, talking in part 4 about the dissolution of the Canadian Wheat Board.
The government is saying it is going to destroy that collective, single-desk marketing that has given farmers so much power and clout, and turn them over to the mercy of some of the world's largest grain companies. That will drive the prices down, and drive the income and receipts in agricultural communities all across western Canada, on the Prairies, from Alberta through to Manitoba. It is going to drive those receipts down.
What does that mean? That means less money in the pockets of farmers. However it is not just that direct impact of what the government is doing that is so despicable, it is the indirect impacts that are going to be felt right across the west. It is the small mom-and-pop grocery stores in some of those smaller communities across the western provinces. Coming from British Columbia, I have driven across this country, back and forth, many times. It is the grocery stores, the credit unions, the auto repair shops and the farm machinery shops, all of them are going to feel the impact of this irresponsible action.
That is why we are voting no on Bill C-18. It runs roughshod over what farmers in western Canada have clearly expressed, time and time again. It has a profound economic impact, as we have seen in other jurisdictions where they have done that. The government has done no preparation and has no business plan. It cannot even tell us what the impact is going to be.
The government is doing this strictly for ideology. On this side of the House, we are standing up for western farmers. We are standing for wheat farmers. We are saying yes to the Canadian Wheat Board, and no to Bill C-18.
Context : Questions and Comments
M. Peter Julian: Monsieur le Président, c'est sûr, et je remercie la députée de sa question. Elle apporte aussi une contribution énorme en cette Chambre et je suis bien content qu'elle soit ici.
Quand on regarde ce qui est arrivé en Australie, c'est très clair, les chiffres ne mentent pas. Là-bas, une fois que ce mécanisme pour protéger les fermiers a été enlevé, le revenu familial des fermiers qui cultivent le blé est tombé. En Australie, la situation est très claire. Aux États-Unis, on a vu que les fermiers qui oeuvrent dans le même domaine ont souffert énormément du fait qu'ils n'ont pas justement en place quelque chose comme une Commission canadienne du blé, et c'est peut-être pour cette raison que les Américains depuis des années essaient de couper la Commission canadienne du blé, parce que les fermiers au Canada sont plus prospères que les fermiers aux États-Unis.
Qu'arrivera-t-il si on enlève la Commission canadienne du blé? Personne ne sait dans quelle amplitude on verra une diminution dans les revenus familiaux des familles, et les revenus indirects dans toute la communauté. Du côté des conservateurs, personne ne le sait. Ils n'ont pas fait les études. Il n'ont aucune idée de l'impact que cela aura, mais nous pouvons prédire justement que l'impact sera néfaste, très négatif et considérable. C'est pour cette raison qu'on se bat contre ce projet de loi C-18.
Context : Questions and Comments
Mr. Peter Julian: Mr. Speaker, I welcome the member to the House. I know he is a new member.
We have 62% of western farmers supporting the single desk. It is not a few lobbyists, which I know Conservatives have been meeting, who make the difference. It is what farmers want. Sixty-two per cent of western farmers have said, clearly and unambiguously, that they support the single-desk market. Many of them live in ridings that the Conservatives won.
Now, admittedly, the Conservatives said they were going to let farmers decide. They are not letting farmers decide now.
So, my question back to the member would be, is he prepared, now to break ranks with his government when he knows that western farmers do not want this legislation?
Context : Questions and Comments
Mr. Peter Julian: There was not actually a question there, Mr. Speaker, but I would like to ask a question back to the hon. member.
What does he not understand about 62%? We hear Conservatives sitting on this side of the House saying they know this farmer or that farmer who is opposed to the wheat board and they are basing their entire strategy of gutting the wheat board on a few friends who do not like it. Sixty-two percent, and in that member's riding as well, 62% of farmers said to keep the wheat board. It is a simple message. It is something that any Conservative MP should understand. Sixty-two percent of western farmers want to keep single desk marketing.
Why will those members not listen to the needs and desires of western Canadian farmers?

The Road to Solvalla Goes Through East Rutherford
The Elitlopp Playoff, is limited to the 12 trotters with the highest earnings (3yos and up) in 2015-16 which enter the race. If more than 10 horses drop in, the race will be contested at 1 1/8 miles. 10 horses or less and the race goes at the standard mile race.
Of course, if you want an automatic entry into the Elitlopp, be prepared to race without trotting hopples and furomeside (Salix) because neither are allowed in the Elitlopp.
So we learn the barn at Classy Lane had no sprinkler system or smoke detectors. This doesn't surprise me as we have seen too many barn fires involving race horses and pleasure horses. What I want to know is why don't we learn from our mistakes and improve the fire protection systems? It should be a requirement if you operate a public barn facility, you need to have some type of fire detection or protection system(s) installed in order to take in outside horses. Will this be the fire which changes all that? I tend to doubt it.
Here is a video from Hawthorne where they explain why they have brought harness racing back to their facility. It's worth a look.
3 comments:
I'll second your call to require fire protection in horse barns that operate as a business. These are difficult to equip because they're large and different areas need different types of protection. Sprinklers work in some areas, but not all, and there must be a reliable source of water. Barns usually need multiple protection systems. Expensive for sure, but it's a one time installation cost. Compared to annual premiums to insure individual horses (if an owner can even afford those payments), fire protection costs less.

"Yes, Sunday, May 6, in a special matinee program starting at 1:10pm." This is a joke, right? The Meadowlands is barely able to fill two cards a week at this time of year. How will they be able to have any more races other than the one Elotlopp qualifier? Also, May 6, 2016 is a Friday.

Thanks for the correction on the date. As for how they will fill the card, there is no racing that Friday, so there will still be only two cards that weekend.

This is the unveiling of the roasted pig...
Welcome to my Project 365 blog!! You can read all about this project in the WHAT/WHY/HOW section ~ I hope you enjoy my journey and thanks for looking!
Wow! Never been to one of those. But our ground would never get hot enough! How did it taste?
Wow, that is something - I've seen them over a pit!
Cooking it in the ground?!? Now that would have been neat to be at. I have never heard of such a thing. I love me some pig though. Bacon is my favorite. :)

United States District Court, E.D. California
June 12, 2017
KERN COUNTY HOSPITAL AUTHORITY, a California special health authority, dba KERN MEDICAL CENTER, Plaintiff,v.CIGNA HEALTHCARE OF CALIFORNIA, INC., a California for profit corporation and DOES 1 THROUGH 25, INCLUSIVE, Defendants.
matter was originally filed in Kern County Superior Court on
February 10, 2016, and removed to this court on March 29,
2016. Removal was premised on federal question jurisdiction
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, purportedly because the
claims arise under the civil enforcement provision of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA"), 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a). (Doc. No. 1
at 2.) However, the court recently became aware that
plaintiff's complaint actually alleges only state law
claims of breach of implied-in-fact contract and quantum
meruit, and does not allege a claim arising under ERISA.
(See Doc. No. 1-1 at 14-17.)
jurisdiction is governed by federal statute, and allows suits
brought in state courts to be removed to federal court if
they could have been filed in the latter initially. 28 U.S.C.
§ 1441(a); Caterpillar Inc. v. Williams, 482
U.S. 386, 392 (1987); Retail Property Trust v. United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, 768
F.3d 938, 947 (9th Cir. 2014). Generally, federal question
jurisdiction is "governed by the 'well-pleaded
complaint rule, ' which provides that federal
jurisdiction exists only when a federal question is presented
on the face of the plaintiff's properly pleaded
complaint." Retail Property Trust, 768 F.3d at
947 (quoting Caterpillar Inc., 482 U.S. at 392).
This is because "the plaintiff is the master of the
complaint, " and has the right to, "by eschewing
claims based on federal law, choose to have the cause heard
in state court." Caterpillar Inc., 482 U.S. at
398-99; see also Dennis v. Hart, 724 F.3d 1249, 1252
(9th Cir. 2913). The general removal statute is strictly
construed, and a federal court's removal jurisdiction
"must be rejected if there is any doubt as to the right
of removal in the first instance." Gaus v. Miles,
Inc., 980 F.2d 564, 566 (9th Cir. 1992); see also
Durham v. Lockheed Martin Corp., 445 F.3d 1247, 1252
(9th Cir. 2006) (contrasting § 1441 and § 1442
removals). It is axiomatic that a federal court may not
proceed in the absence of subject matter jurisdiction, and
that the federal courts "have an independent obligation
to determine whether subject-matter jurisdiction exists, even
in the absence of a challenge from any party."
Arbaugh v. Y & H Corp., 546 U.S. 500, 501
(2006); Wood v. City of San Diego, 678 F.3d 1075,
1082 (9th Cir. 2012) (objections to subject matter
jurisdiction may be raised at any stage, "even after
trial and the entry of judgment") (quoting
Arbaugh, 546 U.S. at 506); Leeson v.
Transamerica Disability Income Plan, 671 F.3d 969, 975
n.12 (9th Cir. 2012); see also Fed. R. Civ. P.
no federal claim appears on the face of the complaint, nor
has any been added in either the complaint's two
subsequent amendments nor is one contemplated in the proposed
third amendment. (Doc. Nos. 1-1, 11, 27, 38-2.) Nonetheless,
"under the artful pleading rule 'a plaintiff may
not defeat removal by omitting to plead necessary federal
questions in a complaint.'" ARCO Envtl.
Remediation, L.L.C. v. Department of Health and Envtl.
Quality of Mont., 213 F.3d 1108, 1114 (quoting
Franchise Tax Bd. of Cal. v. Construction Laborers
Vacation Trust for S. Cal., 463 U.S. 1, 22 (1983));
see also JustMed, Inc. v. Byce, 600 F.3d 1118, 1124
(9th Cir. 2010). There are, therefore, rare exceptions to the
well-pleaded complaint rule: "(1) where federal law
completely preempts state law; (2) where the claim is
necessarily federal in character; or (3) where the right to
relief depends on the resolution of a substantial, disputed
federal question." ARCO Envtl. Remediation,
L.L.C., 213 F.3d at 1114. (internal citations
court presumes the defendants intended to invoke the first of
these exceptions. Under ERISA, a participant or beneficiary
in a plan covered by that statute may bring a civil action
"to recover benefits due to him under the terms of his
plan, to enforce his rights under the terms of the plan, or
to clarify his rights to future benefits under the terms of
the plan." 29 U.S.C. §
1132(a)(1)(B).[1] This provision completely preempts state
law claims if (1) the individual beneficiary or participant
could have brought her claim under § 502(a)(1)(B) at
some point in time, and (2) there is no other independent
legal duty implicated by defendant's actions. Aetna
Health Inc. v. Davila, 542 U.S. 200, 210 (2004). This
two-pronged test is conjunctive, and both prongs must be
satisfied for the claim to be completely preempted. Marin
Gen. Hosp. v. Modesto & Empire Traction Co., 581
F.3d 941, 947 (9th Cir. 2009). Importantly, there is a
significant difference between the jurisdiction-providing
complete preemption and conflict preemption, the latter of
which may provide an affirmative defense to state law causes
of action. Id. at 944-47. See also Doctors
Medical Center of Modesto, Inc. v. Gardner Trucking,
Inc., No. 1:16-cv-01674-DAD-SAB, 2017 WL 781498, at *2-5
(E.D. Cal. Feb. 28, 2017) (remanding claims of breach of
implied-in-fact contract and quantum meruit as not
falling under ERISA's complete preemption exception to
the well-pleaded complaint rule).
removing defendants have the burden of establishing removal
is proper. Duncan v. Stuetzle, 76 F.3d 1480, 1485
(9th Cir. 1996). Therefore, the defendants are now ordered to
show cause within fourteen (14) days of this order why this
case should not be remanded to the Kern County Superior
[1] While a third-party medical provider
does not fall within the express language of that provision,
courts have allowed such providers to sue on behalf of plan
participants under ERISA where the participant has assigned
their rights to the provider. See, e.g., Blue
Cross of Calif. v. Anesthesia Care ...

Big mistake of mine! I am still on my way - let's keep it as a surprise but I am flying back to Asia now. I have however found out that Mike is still in Warsaw and he has agreed to be your tour guide around this amazing place. So enjoy and see you next week!
* * *
Hello everybody, it's Mike again. Since I am back to Warsaw and the weather is nice, I decided to take a walk in the Old Town, down the city walls.
On the other side of this paved road there is a moat that is more or less the limit of the Old Town of Warsaw in the strict sense, as approved by UNESCO to be a World Heritage Site.
The Royal Castle stands, no surprise, on the Castle square, walled by nice residential buildings.
Next to the castle there is a tunnel that leads to one of the bridges over the Vistula river.
The reason why the castle and the various buildings around it are so special is that they were all destroyed by bombs during World War II. Here you can spot the difference.
Its reconstruction started in 1971 and lasted almost fifteen years. Today, we can again admire the castle in its full beauty.
Let's take the gate just below the clock and enter the inner courtyard.
As you have probably guessed, in the old days the castle used to be a royal residence. Today it is a museum that houses the remainings of the past glory. Unfortunately many pieces of art were lost during centuries, stolen or destroyed during many wars endured by the castle. The last one was of course the worst one. Still, you can admire the Brussels tapestries dating from the middle of the sixteenth century.
The paintings on the ceilings are of course reproduced recently. No walls remained after the bombing.
Also the paintings and the sculptures are not in all cases historical, at least not entirely. But the employees of the castle back in 1939 made miracles to save whatever they could.
Obviously in a royal castle the most important part is the place where the kings lived. You can see a reconstruction of the royal dining room ...
... and the royal bedroom.
Here comes the chapel ...
... and the gambling room. Great floor, isn't it?
I was however most impressed by the royal thrones. I actually found four of them. But maybe there are some more, who knows? This one is in the Old Audience Chamber. I think it is the most modest of all.
This one in the Council Chamber, a place where the Permanent Council were held. It was a kind of government, with the king as prime minister.
Then comes the Senate Chamber, where of course the Senate or the upper chamber of the parliament was meeting.
And since the king was leading such meetings he needed yet another throne.
I was a bit surprised to find out that the lower chamber of the parliament, the Deputies' Chamber, was also having its room in the castle. But no throne this time. And the banks did not seem very comfortable. Maybe it is a good idea in the end that could speed up the legislative process.
Finally comes the Throne Room. The white eagle is the national symbol of Poland. they were embroidered with silver thread.
In the basement of the castle you can watch some installations and exhibitions about the history of the building and its reconstruction. You can also see what has remained of the original walls. Not so much unfortunately.
But remember the shape the place had in 1945.
I hope that you have enjoyed this little tour. We can leave the castle by the side porch and take a nice walk around the old town - in the back you can spot the Sigismung Column, commemorating Sigismund III Vasa, the king who has turned Warsaw into the capital city of Poland.

Thanks Mike! See you next week my friends for another exciting trip.

This morning I am thinking about movies and immigration. "McFarland, USA" is a movie currently playing in Baton Rouge. It tells the true story of a caucasian high school coach in a predominantly hispanic community in 1987 who forms a cross country track team. In the telling of this story, we get a beautiful picture of the Mexican culture, of families and food and hard work and good music. Humanity unfolds as Coach White leads his team to state championships year after year. The color barrier disappears as the whole community comes together for the good of all.
It is a good lesson for all of us. There is so much anger directed toward the immigrants who have come to our country from the countries south of our border. Look back over our history as a nation and you will see that no immigrant group ever brought about the ruin of America. Each culture that established itself here adapted and then enriched our melting pot. Today is no different. There are an estimated 5 million people in our country who did not follow proper regulations to come here. But they are here. Going to our churches. Educating their children in our schools. Paying rent to American landlords and buying houses. Shopping in the grocery stores and the malls. Working hard at hard jobs to make a living, just like the rest of us. Their families grow with births and diminish with deaths. Just like the rest of us. They pay taxes yet their wages reflect deductions that go into systems they may never have access to.
In the absence of any leadership in our legislative branches toward resolving what has been called "the immigration problem," President Obama has issued an executive order to open the way to citizenship for some of the people already living and working in our country. Everyone will not automatically receive amnesty. Everyone will not automatically be allowed to work toward citizenship. Deportations of people continuing to cross our border without proper documentation will continue. This executive order addresses the estimmated five million people already here.
Our faith tradition tells us to welcome the stranger. Our testimony of equality tells us to treat these immigrants with respect. Integrity reminds us to speak honestly about situations we know personally and not repeat stories from the news media about "those people." By extending acceptance to the strangers among us, we create the peace Quakers try to support in the world. Diversity makes our communities richer as we learn to live and play together. What have you done lately towards a peaceable kingdom? Let your actions speak truth to power.
for Friends meeting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana every sunday at 11:30 a.m. at The Red Shoes, 2303 Government Street.

It's that time of year again folks. Cough/cold/nasty what-the-heck-is-that-person-hacking-up time. We go through bags and bags and bags of Ricola. The only person who is a bigger baby about having a sore throat than me is Sierra. Way bigger. Where'd she get that from? So I thought...hmmm...how hard can it be to make these things? Turns out not hard at all. You just have to approach it like I try to approach sewing - NO FEAR.
So I researched (you know...I googled it) recipes, formulas, and herbs and settled in on one recipe. All properties described are internet-retrieved, so you choose whether to believe the purported properties of the herbs. However, I will say that my brain believed them as I sucked on the finished product.
Here's the recipe:
1 cup dried herbs (see here for herb guide). Mix and match according to your preference
3 cups boiling water
3 1/2 cups brown sugar or same amount of honey [see note about honey]
2 teaspoons peppermint extract if desired (may not go with honey?!)
Candy thermometer
First you will want to steep the dried herbs in the tea. Steep for about 30 minutes or so. Strain well using a tea press or cheesecloth.
Next add brown sugar or honey over medium heat and bring to a boil slowly. Be sure to keep stirring constantly. When the brown sugar or honey herbs mixture reaches 290 to 300 degrees and pulls apart in threads it is done.
At this point remove from heat and add the peppermint extract if desired. You can then proceed to pull the mixture like taffy and make little balls. Or the easiest and fastest thing to do is spread over a cookie sheet. I tried putting them in a loaf pan (I made a 1/2 recipe) and scoring them. When the herbal mixture it hardens you can then break into pieces. Use wax paper to store them.
[Note about honey - These tasted great but after a couple of weeks in a container began to draw in moisture and try to become liquid again. Still edible....just had to twist a piece off. Someone suggested putting one of those little silicon(e)? packets inside the container to prevent this which I think I'll try next time]
The herbs were easy to find. Whole Foods was my first stop and they had everything but horehound. However, next time I'll just go to Lhasa K to get everything, which is where I found the horehound.
This is what the dried herbs look like pre-tea:
Horehound has been used for decades for coughs and bronchial upsets. It is a great herb for breaking up congestion. It contains murubiin which stimulates bronchial secretions.
Mullien is an herb that will help soothe the bronchial and lungs. It is extremely gentle and effective. It will help ease coughs.
This herb is used to help relieve inflammation of the bronchial.
This herb is used to help relieve inflammation of the bronchial.
So you make up this big pan of tea and then do the straining:
The tea comes out looking like this:
Then, put it back in a pan with the brown sugar or honey.
Pour it in a pan (for a 1/2 recipe I used a loaf pan)....next time I'll probably line the pan with wax paper and butter it, for easier removal.
If you decide to pour it on a cookie sheet you're done. You'll simply break it up like brittle when it's ready. But if you use a pan like I did (thinking I could make the shape of the original herbal flavor Ricolas) you need to score the cough drops...unless you're a hard candy expert and know how to quickly and efficiently pull and shape the taffy-like candy into little balls. That's not me so I'm scoring. The challenge is that you have to score when it's not too hot and not too cool. I would run my small, sharp knife through a little butter, then dip the tip in and draw a line. Sometimes I'd start at the edges and do the edges all the way around, then wait as the middle cooled a bit more a go back in a little at a time. When it's too hot the candy sticks to the knife - too cool, you won't be able to score it at all.
Sounds hard but it's not. Although I do want to look into getting hard candy molds so I can make nice little round balls without the taffy-pulling part. Good luck!

By Nunyo Demasio
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, April 26, 2005
Cornerback Carlos Rogers, the ninth overall pick, grinned as he stood behind three Super Bowl trophies at Redskins Park and recalled that quarterback Jason Campbell rarely threw in his direction during practices at Auburn. Moments later, Campbell, the 25th overall pick, explained half-jokingly that the decision was merely a gesture since the team's young defensive backs revered Rogers.
"They called him Mr. Rogers," Campbell said. "They called him 'Cash' because he cashes in on passes that come to his side. But he knows I've burned him."
The bond between the former college teammates was evident in a joint news conference as the Washington Redskins introduced their first-round picks yesterday. Despite playing on opposite sides of the ball, Campbell and Rogers became good friends, largely because they roomed with their team's star tailbacks.
Campbell's college roommate was Ronnie Brown, who was selected No. 2 overall by the Miami Dolphins. And Rogers roomed with Carnell Williams, picked three spots later by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"We were tight -- homeboys," Rogers said of the foursome. "We hung out every day, we'd go out and eat, do everything together. So me and Jason are real close."
The 6-foot, 199-pound Rogers and Campbell never envisioned playing on the same team, even after Washington's surprising interest in the 6-4, 223-pound quarterback became public late last week.
"Then when I heard that [the Redskins] traded for a first-round pick," Rogers said, "I was praying that he got there and he did. It's good to have a player on your [NFL] team you just played with."
Coach Joe Gibbs pointed out that Rogers and Campbell were part of a team that hadn't lost since Nov. 15, 2003, when Georgia won, 26-7. "Maybe we just like winners," Gibbs said, chuckling. "They go undefeated, we like them. We hope some of that will carry over to the Redskins."
Campbell was voted the Southeastern Conference offensive player of the year as the Tigers went 13-0 and beat Virginia Tech, 16-13, in the Sugar Bowl. Rogers won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back. Only 18 of the 65 passes thrown in Rogers's direction were completed.
With Fred Smoot's departure to the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent, Rogers has a good shot at becoming a starter opposite Shawn Springs. But Rogers starts the process behind nickel back Walt Harris.
"If you look at Gregg Williams's history as a coordinator, none of his first-rounders came in as a starter," said cornerbacks coach DeWayne Walker. "Even though we drafted him for a reason -- with Shawn [Springs] and Walt [Harris] you have two veterans and two 30-year-olds -- we're going to be patient with him and when the time is right he'll get in there.
"For Carlos, it's a pretty good situation for him. It gives us a chance on defense to really develop him. May the best man win."
Campbell has generated as much attention as Rogers because of Washington's quarterback situation. Campbell is an intriguing selection after the Redskins -- despite having Patrick Ramsey as the starter -- gave up three picks, including a 2006 first-round pick.
Yesterday, Campbell posed with Gibbs for photographers while holding a jersey bearing No. 17, which has been worn by former Redskins quarterbacks Doug Williams and Billy Kilmer.
The Redskins' only officially retired number is 33, which was worn by quarterback Sammy Baugh. But there's also an understanding that certain other numbers won't be worn -- including Sonny Jurgensen's 9, wide receiver Bobby Mitchell's 49 and wide receiver Art Monk's 81.
Campbell said he would seek permission from Williams -- a personnel executive with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- who recently described Campbell as the best quarterback in the draft.
"He should be hearing from me within the next [few] days," Campbell said, chuckling.
Campbell said he did not choose No. 17 because Williams was the first black quarterback in Redskins history and the first to start in the Super Bowl. (Williams led Washington to a 42-10 victory over Denver in Super Bowl XXII following the 1987 season, and was named the game's MVP.)
Campbell's father, Larry Campbell, noted yesterday that his son wore No. 17 in college. Jason Campbell wanted to wear No. 7 after graduating from Mississippi's Taylorsville High. But Larry Campbell said No. 7 was a retired jersey at Auburn, where it was worn by quarterback Pat Sullivan, the 1971 Heisman trophy winner.
"He really respects Doug," Larry Campbell said. "But he's always wanted to wear number 17, so we'll see."

Origins of the Horror Films Part 5 - Early days of Horror Cinema
I want to emphasize the importance of horror fiction as a source of inspiration for the development of Horror Cinema (Horror Films). At the first part, I highlight the importance of religious texts and mythology, the second part is about the Age of Enlightenment, the third part is about the influence of Industrial Revolution in horror fiction and publications, the forth part is about the period between 1880 - 1890. Finally, the fifth and last part of Horror Cinema Origins is about the influence of horror fiction in early horror movies.
The period of 1900s
The filmmakers of the 1910 - 1920 - 1930 use the best sellers of their time to ensure a guaranteed audience.
It's rare but it can be found only in horror literature, authors known for their works in different themes such as Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Shelley Stevenson, H.G. Wells (The Island of Doctor Moreau - 1896) Gaston Leroux (The Phantom of the Opera - 1911) and Gustav Meyrink (The Golem - 1915)
Horror Fiction in Germany (1910 - 1930)
The German writer Hanns Heinz Ewers (personal friend of the occultist - Aleister Crowley) published the short stories Der Zauberlehrling (The Sorcerer Apprentice - 1907), The Spider (1915) and Vampyr (1921) .
Horror Fiction in England (1910 - 1930)
M.R. James, re-invented the scary ghost story by writting the novel "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" (1904) and the More Ghost Stories (1911).
Horror Fiction in United States (1910 - 1930)
H.P. Lovecraft is the most famous American writer of these particular period. The inspiration for his works are personal nightmares and the interpretation of symbolic υποσυνείδητο. His life was sort but his books inspired a large number of writers - among them Ramsey Campbell, Clive Barker and Steven King.
Lovecraft works are responsible also for the transformation of horror gender. His unique point of view to present the inside of a psychopath mind is the source of inspiration for the creation of novels such as Psycho (1959).

A gift is given to a person with no expectation for anything in return. When you give someone something, it becomes theirs to do with as they please. They can make use of it as you intended or they can have it sit on a shelf and collect dust while it is completely neglected or they can re-gift it to another or even discard it. And you don't take a gift back - that would simply be very poor etiquette!
None of those would be an acceptable way for my submission to be handled. If my submission were to be handled in those ways, then I would most definitely take it back. When I choose to submit, I do it with certain expectations. That leads to another statement I've heard from others - submissives don't get to have any expectations. Oh, but I beg to differ! I have a few expectations - we may even call them conditions. Yes, yes... my submission is conditional. Now you get why I don't think of it as a gift.
I expect my hard limits to be respected.
I expect my soft limits to be approached with caution.
I expect my owner to invest in our relationship - with his time, attention, and necessary training / teaching to help make me a better submissive for him and to make our relationship a successful one.
I expect my owner to make choices that are in the best interest of our relationship.
I expect my owner to be consistent - to say what he means and to mean what he says.
That last expectation has been on my mind lately, but I'll come back to that after a little recap of the overall situation.
I am currently "in training". I don't really agree with that concept because I think I will always be in training because he will always be pushing me to learn more and teaching me new ways to please him. The distinction of being his "sub in training" versus simply being his submissive was made because current circumstances do not permit me to submit fully to him and those same circumstances make him refuse to make me his completely. So I am in training until the appropriate changes can be made. So, for the time being, very little is expected of me. When he asks something of me I'm expected to do it, but he really hasn't been asking much of me at all. As a matter of fact, I've only been given three tasks (easy ones, at that) in the span of a month. I'm expected to be respectful at all times and obedient at all times, but that has never been an issue for the ten years I have known him. The one thing I AM struggling with is having patience and learning to walk before I attempt running, but I'm working on that.
Although he demands little of me at this time and I expect little of him at this time, I DO expect him to fulfill that last expectation on my list. I expect him to say what he means and to mean what he says for the simple reason that it builds and solidifies trust. So when he says something as simple as "We'll talk tomorrow morning before my flight", I count on talking to him tomorrow morning before his flight. When morning comes and goes and I don't hear from him nor am I able to reach him, it saddens me and makes me feel a little heartbroken. Of course, I understand things happen and life sometimes gets in the way of plans. However this is more difficult to accept when it happens repeatedly.
You see, his words are gospel to me - or at least they should be. So every time he doesn't do what he says he'll do, his words lose a little bit of value. And now, after this has happened about a handful of times in the last month, I am beginning to doubt him. For example, I told a girlfriend today that he left for his business trip this morning and that he had told me he would text me a couple of times during his trip to let me know what was going on. I followed that statement with an "we'll see"... which shows doubt. I shouldn't be doubting his word. I shouldn't be doubting him, but I do because there have been times when he hasn't followed through (for legitimate reasons) with his word.
My fear is that I will get to the point where I don't trust anything he says. Once I get to that point there's no turning back nor moving forward from there.

With the girls soccer season looming over Pacheco High, the Panthers warmed up with a scrimmage against neighboring Gustine on Tuesday.
Officially, the match was an unscored scrimmage. Unofficially, the Panthers outscored the Redskins 4-2, with two goals from striker Alexa Teran in the first half.
"I was actually very proud of them for playing as a team and keeping together as a team," Pacheco's first-year coach Trichelle Larkins said. "There was solid movement from the back to the front. That was our objective today – it wasn't about scoring goals and winning the game, it was about staying together and playing as a team, and I was proud of them for doing that."
Since the scrimmage had no bearing on either team's record, Larkins was able to play around with lineups and formations and see what worked and what didn't.
"It let me move some girls where they wouldn't normally play, have them try some things they wouldn't normally do in a real game," Larkins said. "So yeah, there was an opportunity to kind of feel out what the season will be like, because this is the first time they've played together."
Teran needed just a few minutes to give Pacheco the first goal, but Gustine responded within a minute. Diana Valtierra put Pacheco back on top five minutes later after a corner kick got away from Gustine's goalkeeper and Valtierra was there to put it away.
Again, Gustine responded quickly, with a fast-passing attack from the win to a forward just in front of the goal. Teran finished the first half with a goal off an Itzel Quintero assist. Melinda Martinez capped the scoring about halfway through the second half on a free kick from about 15 feet outside the goal box, floating the kick over the Gustine goalkeeper.
Valtierra put another shot in the back of the net, but the referees (a pair of Pacheco boys players on hand to catch the game) waved it off due to Valiterra being offside.
"We were really nervous at first, but we actually thought we could take it, because we're a team now," said Martinez, a midfielder and one of the more experienced players on the team. "We're definitely communicating more. We have more trust in each other for sure."
Melinda and a returning core of players like Teran and defender Rosio Ruiz, along with an influx of athletic players from the junior-varsity team, which Larkins coached last year, are eyeing the playoffs this year.
"I feel like we're already a success because they played like a team," the coach said. "That was our objective last year at JV, so I would say as long as they're playing together, a solid showing for the teams we know we can beat, and then staying together for the teams that are going to prove hard for us ... it won't be about goals scored or wins and losses for these girls a lot of the time, it'll just be about how well we are together as one team."

So that you can develop morals,
And learn that there are consequences for every action.

When you have done something smart or kind or good,

I will let you go.

And that they will intersect again and again;
And that I will always be there when you need me.
I believe that because my actions gave you your life,
That my responsibility is to love, guide, and teach you;
So that one day you will be a better person than myself,
And I believe that my job doesn't stop just because you've reached a certain age;
You will always be my daughter at every age, even when you are old and grey.
And I accept that responsibility and promise that every action that I take
Is with this responsibility in my mind and love in my heart.
