That was the number one question Walter and I were asked throughout our infertility journey. Just like I imagine fertiles get asked about their birth choices or about their choice to bottle or breast feed. Anyone going through infertility gets asked this regularly on their own private journey…. Why don't you just adopt?! Like it's so easy! I mean really, why don't you just adopt?! Easy Peezy!
I know I'm the poster child for adoption, so to speak. I have two beautiful children after a very long struggle with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, but it's not. It's just not. I know people must look at me or use me as an example to friends who are struggling with infertility, look at her… you could have that too…. if you'd only just adopt!
So, let me tell you what adoption involved for us. Because it is NOT a matter of just adopting, it is so much more, so much harder than that.
Sure, Ava's placement seemed easy, it wasn't, but to outsiders, I bet it looked real easy. We went through the invasive screening process, proved we weren't on sexual offenders register, got police clearance and health clearance and passed a bunch of other tests and hey presto, 3 weeks later we were holding our new born baby.
But that was when my torment truly started. This was back in 2009, before the change in the child act, so Ava could be placed with us from birth and wasn't required to go into a place of safety for the duration of the 60 days consent period.
We took home our beautiful baby girl and that was when our true torment started. Living every single day, waiting for a call that could destroy us. Falling more and more in love with her every day, knowing, with one phone call we could have to give her back and have our hearts shattered. Thankfully that didn't happen.
But then we decided to add to our family and adopt again.
And it was so much harder the second time than I ever could have imagined.
First we were approached by a family of a mutual friend, to place their baby with us, under very tragic circumstances, which I won't get into here. We tried to get our social worker involved but before she could intervene, the baby died under questionable circumstances. I still have his photo. I still remember his name. It was the most shocking experience. I cried for days after receiving the news.
Then we were selected for another baby, also a boy, his birth parents chose us, went through all the counselling, and a week after he was born, the birth father retracted his consent and opted to raise his son on his own. Obviously well within his rights to do so, but still utterly devastating for us.
Then we got a call from our social worker about another baby, 6 months old, surrendered into her care with placement with us. We dropped everything. Put in emergency leave, flew to Cape Town, Ava in tow and besides herself with excitement over getting a baby brother. We arrived and immediately hit the shops, buying everything a baby boy could need. The next morning, we met him and we loved him and we cuddled him and we left the home with him. He was one very bewildered little boy. And then that night, we got the call that I thought would crush me, that I thought would scar Ava for ever, his birth mom had contacted the social worker and informed her of her decision to retract consent. We had to take him back.
Giving him back was devastating. I remember asking to feed him just one last time, to hold him, feed him, cuddle him, smell him and memorize everything about him. That was three years ago and there is still not a day that doesn't go by that I don't wonder and think about that little boy. Where is he? How big is he? He must be nearly 4 now. Is he loved, is he cared for, are all his needs met? Does he love school? Does he even go to school? What does he look like? Does he still have the most gorgeous, hugest, brown eyes?
We went through a really tough time after giving him back. Ava especially. She acted out. She was angry. She started hitting her friends. She became insecure.
When we got the all for Hannah, we opted not to tell Ava, not until the very last minute, there was no way I could traumatize her like that again. We told her a few days before we flew to Cape Town that she was getting a baby sister. She didn't believe us. And even after Hannah was placed. Ava asked if someone would take her away from us.
Then there is the other issue, which in my personal opinion, I believe is totally down played by all who work in the adoption arena…. post placement stress on adopted babies and children. Ava had it. Hannah had it. Almost everyone I know who has adopted has struggled with issues which, when they seek professional help, can be traced back to the trauma of separation, sensory issues, sleep issues and even selective mutism.
Also, not all adoption social workers are created equal. Before Ava's placement, we worked with another social worker, over the placement of a baby girl, we eventually withdrew from the process after we realized that the social worker was just stringing us along and that this was turning into a bidding war, with the baby going to the couple who were willing to pay the most to the birth mother.
Adoption is intensely personal. It's not something you wake up one day and just decide to do. There are so many things that need to be considered. The screening is hugely intense, if you've never been through the process, you can never fully understand the depth of the intense personal struggle, over the issues you are forced to address before you've even become a parent, you'll never appreciate the depth of the soul searching you have to go through.
So if someone you know is struggling with infertility, please, please don't ask them why they don't just adopt.

Terry's Harley T-Shirt Quilt – Flames
Dottie took me into a bedroom where she had Terry's Harley T-Shirt laying down so that I can look at it.
My mouth dropped open!
For as long as I've had my machine (3 years now), I've been wanting to get my hands on a Harley T-Shirt quilt to just quilt it!! This was my chance! I told Dottie that I wanted to quilt it. She had to ask Terry for permission. He told her, "Give it to her." (something like that. LOL.)
Dottie needed to look for a backing and oh did she!!!! FLAMES!!!! I loooooove it even more!
That is such a cool backing!! Isn't it?!?!?! I quilted the quilt using a flame pantograph called "Hot Nights" by Apricot Moon Designs that can be found on Urban Elementz. I had to have the pantograph custom sized since my stitch area is only 12″. I used Omni Silver by Superior Threads.
Here is a few more pictures…
You can see in the above photo on the right side part of the flame pantograph!
Dottie did an amazing job stitching these Harley T-Shirts together! I was so honored and tickled pink quilting this one.
This quilt looks soooo much better in person!!!!
Do you have a T-Shirt quilt that you are wanting machine quilted? Then check out my longarm quilting service!

Take in World Heritage ancient ruins at Siem Reap's Angkor Wat to begin the itinerary emphatically. You will journey through the famous Mekong Delta, past fish farms, passing by French colonial architecture and important religious monuments, until the height of the cultural medley that is Phnom Penh. The city offers fashionable bars and restaurants with tree lined avenues and charming squares in stark contrast to its haunting past, accessible through the Tuol Sleng Museum for one.
Continue to Vietnam, gaining an insight into a tribal village and its market before experiencing a floating market. The final port of call will be Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) with its impressive colonial architecture, mixed with modern edifices. A delve into its past is a fascinating one, through the National Museum and Chu Chi tunnel complex. Visitors love the exciting mix of delectable Vietnamese cuisine, rich history, and stunning natural beauty. However, the Vietnamese people often steal the show with their demonstrations of ingenuity and their friendliness to visitors.
The cruise may be fantastic on its own or as an add-on for your holiday. This tour starts in Siem Riep and ends in Saigon, or vice versa, however transfers from other locations can be arranged as required. Discuss options with our Asia Travel Experts.
You will meet your guide on arrival in Siem Reap and transfer to your luxury cruise ship. A packed lunch will be provided on the coach and a stop at Kampong Thom made along the way. Embark and settle into your appointed luxury cabin and enjoy the views of your floating hotel, while the vessel departs.
Siem Reap, situated in the north west of the country, is an enchanting town with Chinese-style shop houses, French colonial architecture and tree lined boulevards. It is the gateway to the World Heritage ancient temple ruins of Angkor, eighth wonder of the world and spectacular ancient capital of the powerful Khmer Dynasty. As well as the myriad of awe-inspiring temples and Khmer relics to explore, Siem Reap and its rural outskirts offers craft villages, silk farms, Khmer cuisine cooking classes, traditional Cambodian 'apsara' dance performances and the floating villages on the tranquil waters of Tonle Sap Lake
Itinerary Option: If you wish to spend some more time in Cambodia before embarking on the cruise, discuss additional nights in activities with our Asia experts.
Today, you will visit the hilltop temple of Wat Hanchey in the morning. In the afternoon, travel by bus to visit the Twin Holy mountains of Phnom Pros and Phnom Srey (Man and Woman Hill). Continue to the ecotourism village of Choeungkok supported by the French-Cambodian NGO Amica.
Kampong Cham is an important provincial capital with French colonial buildings, busting markets and an attractive setting overlooking the Mekong.
Excursion up the Tonle River to Kampong Chhnang by coach or the ship depending on water levels. Beyond Kampong Chhnang travel with the excursion vessel to discover the vast wetlands around the mouth of the river. Here many fish traps may be seen.
Situated close to the mouth of the Tonle River, Kampong Channang is the main centre for fishing and trading in the vast wetlands that surround the great Tonle Sap lake. The town was an important French provincial capital and the main administrative centre with fine French villas and public buildings a couple of kilometres inland. Crocodile farming is a local business activity along with the by now ubiquitous fish farms, mainly in the hands of Vietnamese settlers. The river port is one of the busiest on the Mekong with several thousand vessels rafted up to make a complex river city. Enjoy a stroll up the river bank and see the amazing stilted houses - some 10 metres off the ground.
Leaving the tranquil and beautiful countryside behind, you will be heading to Phnom Penh, the country's political and economic capital. Here you will have the opportunity to explore the city in a private cyclo. The Cyclo Centre Phnom Penh which provides the cyclos is a charity that provides basic welfare and medical services to cyclo drivers. There is much to choose from in this attractive former French city, and you can decide what to do.
In the afternoon, optional excursion to the Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge's grim Tuol Sleng or S21 Detention Centre. This tour is included in the cost of your cruise but must be requested at the time of booking.
The riverside capital of Phnom Penh, once known as 'The Pearl of Asia' and long considered the most beautiful French-built city of the Orient, is a charming and captivating city. The old French ochre-coloured colonial buildings are now being filled with trendy cafes, boutiques and art galleries and many traditional ornate temples still remain. The bustling squares and frangipani-lined boulevards create an atmosphere that is unlike any other city in South East Asia. Rich in history, Phnom Penh has a number of cultural and historical sites including the National Museum, Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, and offers an insight into its darker past with the haunting Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Museum.
Spend the day cruising in the main Mekong channel, an International shipping route with a marvellous scenic backdrop, before reaching the Vietnamese border.
Visit a Cham tribal village to witness the traditional way of life before making a visit to a cat fish farm, which are contained in great bamboo vats suspended beneath the floors of the Cham houseboats.
The town of Chau Doc retains a 'French' style charm with many old colonial buildings now housing offices of the Vietnam Communist Party and its many branches. The market is excellent and well worth a wander through. The town is easy to walk around or you can enjoy a trishaw ride. There is a Catholic church with Jesus, the Virgin Mary and various saints happily transmogrified with Vietnamese physiognomies.
Board a sampan boat excursion to Sa Dec via Vinh Long along canals and backwaters. You will visit Sa Dec and see the local market and the ancient house of Mr Huyn Thuy Le, the 'lover' of Marguerite Duras, a famous French novelist. Sa Dec is also famous for its flower gardens. Even in colonial times Sa Dec was known as the "Garden of Cochin-China". At Cai Be, you will cruise through its colourful floating market which takes place daily in front of the catholic church.
Sail from Cai Be for My Tho, the hub of the Delta, to disembark in the early morning to transfer to Saigon.
Saigon or Ho Chi Minh is the capital of southern Vietnam and after Hanoi the country's second city. Remarkably despite the boom of the past ten years much of old Saigon has survived and there is still a real L'Indochine feel to the place. It is easy to walk around the central district exploring the broad leafy boulevards and splendid French colonial architecture - the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Post Office and Opera. The Town Hall, scene of the 'fall of Saigon' on April 30th 1975 is well worth a visit as is the war museum. An excursion to the Chu Chi tunnel complex is a must. Here the Viet Cong held out against successive carpet bombing in an underground city.

If you watch daytime television in the U.S., there are far more "Judge/Court" programs and "Let's have a DNA test to prove he's my baby's daddy" programs than detective programs. It's enough to make me want to fwow up.
Rosemary and Thyme was one of my favorite British detective series because it was mostly about gardening, with just a little suspense thrown in. One thing I loved was the corpses were always posed so artfully, no blood and gore, maybe just a smudge on a forehead.ReplyDelete
And then there was Doc Martin. He was sort of a medical detective. I never cared about the plot, I just watched it for the scenes of the beautiful little village, and the interesting characters that seemed to live in real houses.
Well I for one love to read mysteries and murders. ..... And I love to watch them on tv too! I've a Lee Child "Reacher" story with me on my travels as well as a Kathy Reichs book too, I love Midsomer Murders, Hercule Poirot and other detective stuff on tv. I certainly don't really think all those people get murdered in those lovely Midsomer villages but I do find the stories entertaining.ReplyDelete
Are you almost finished your time over there? The weather should be just right when you get home.

Lawsuit: Duke, UNC agreed not to hire each other's doctors
Associated Press
The basketball rivalry between Duke University and the University of North Carolina battle is legendary, but a federal lawsuit says the two elite institutions have agreed not to compete in another prestigious area: the market for highly skilled medical workers.
The antitrust complaint by a former Duke radiologist accuses the schools just 10 miles apart of secretly conspiring to avoid poaching each other's professors. If her lawyers succeed in persuading a judge to make it a class action, thousands of faculty, physicians, nurses and other professionals could be affected.
"The intended and actual effect of this agreement is to suppress employee compensation, and to impose unlawful restrictions on employee mobility," Dr. Danielle Seaman's lawyers wrote.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles expects to hear arguments Thursday on whether Dr, Seaman's complaint should include all skilled medical workers employed between 2012 and 2017 at the Duke medical school, the Duke University Health System, the UNC-Chapel Hill med school and the University of North Carolina Health Care System.
Eagles could approve a smaller class instead, perhaps limiting the litigation to faculty members and medical doctors. The two medical schools together employ about 3,000 faculty members, the lawsuit said.
The judge also is considering a proposed settlement between UNC and Dr, Seaman's team, which has experience securing major antitrust settlements from powerful companies. Her San Francisco law firm got $415 million from Google Inc., Intel Corp., Adobe Systems Inc. and Apple Inc., in 2015 after accusing them of agreeing not to hire each other's best workers.
Dr. Seaman's lawyers made this deal in part because as a public institution, UNC could invoke constitutional limits on federal lawsuits against states, and in part because UNC would be required to deliver a trove of documents, data and testimony supporting her efforts to win monetary damages from Duke, a private university in Durham.
UNC wouldn't pay any money in the settlement, and would promise not to participate in any unlawful restraints on competition.
Both UNC and Duke deny the existence of the no-hire agreement that Seaman claims was reached by top administrators to allow promotions while preventing lateral transfers.

The History of Clevedon
Registered Charity No: 263374 -
Part Three: Start of the Town
It now appears that far from being a wasteland flooded from one years end to the next, the moorland in and around Clevedon was densely occupied during the 2nd to 5th centuries of the Roman occupation.
The population explosion which occurred in the later period of this occupation led to an increased need for food production, which I believe was the reason for so much encroachment onto the moorlands, with as much cultivated land as possible being taken into use.
In Clevedon itself the main sites lie scattered along the southern facing slopes of the town. The Victoria County History records pottery and coins being found on the slopes running from Christ Church along to Hangstone Quarry in Old Church Road. A small scatter was found in the area of the Linden Road library. Pottery and stonework was found in her garden on Dial Hill, close to the cricket field by Petra Dowsett a schoolgirl member of the Research Group; pottery was also found in mains trenches dug during the development of Esmond Grove on Dial Hill.
At Clevedon Court skeletons and pottery were discovered in the ground adjacent to the tennis court in the immediate post-
In trenches cut for the gas mains on the line of Teignmouth Road & Kingston Avenue, scattered Roman Period rubbish pits were noticed. Little of value was discovered, but in one; part of the handle of a bronze spoon was found. In a garden in Meadow Road a brass coin forgery, of a gold coin of Magnentius was detected whilst the occupant was gardening. It is quite probable that this had been forged on a site located on Ken Moor. Other forged coins of the same period had turned up in sites on the moors.
Some small potsherds had been remarked in gardens of Old Street below the school. A rumour was heard at the time of building extension classrooms that a skeleton had been quietly disposed of for fear of holding up the work.
A study of Aerial Photographs, which showed circular shapes on the surface of a field near the Clevedon-
(*Excavated by the Research Group Junior Section in 1964-
These finds which were originally deposited at St. Brandons school (some of the pupils having helped in the excavations) are now in the custody of Woodspring Museum. Also found were a small blue bead, a faceted rose quartz crystal, a bronze bracelet with a 'wheel of life' motif design and some boot nails. Test holes in the surrounding fields revealed a small scatter of pottery but nothing of great significance.
Walking the fields in the area after disturbances, -
On the Ken to Yatton moors an extensive occupation site covering a length of over a mile had been sampled. Test holes had been dug to establish area limits, and where it was needed identification excavations had been undertaken.
The site types had varied from burials -
In all instances the sites where Roman Period occupation was proved, were on the HIGH GROUND side of the traces of old river courses. One instance in particular showed an obvious artificial cutting with a contemporary drainage ditch cut across to it. A proof that the occupants of the site had been busily engaged in draining the area as well as illegally producing forged coins from old bronze ornaments.
It suggests that far from being a lonely moorland waste, the low lying areas were farmed as intensively as that generation of our countrymen were capable of. Possibly some of the areas were merely summer grazing meadowland, but the Wemberham Roman villa on the river Yeo is hardly higher than some of the land on the moor fringes. This would point to a system whereby on the higher ground of the moors, arable crops were raised; and during the retreat of any winter flooding grazing flocks were pushed out on to the water meadows.
The North Somerset Archaeological Research Group under the directors Messrs. C. M. Sykes, and Gray Usher succeeded in the discovery and identification of over 60 separate locations of occupational scatter in the close area of Clevedon during the time that the author was group recorder covering the period from 1960 to 1980.

Conversations with Iphigenia
11 April 2016
Dr Emma Cole is co-organiser of an exciting pair of seminars, one in Bristol and one in London, to explore Greek tragedy in contemporary performance. In May 2016 award-winning playwrights Caroline Bird, Suhayla El-Bushra, Lulu Raczka and Chris Thorpe will present four different versions of Euripides' c. 405 BC tragedy Iphigenia at Aulis at the Gate Theatre, Notting Hill. Each adaptation explores this story of familial catastrophe from the perspective of a different key character: Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Iphigenia, and the Chorus respectively.
The UCL Theatre Translation Forum has renewed its partnership with the Gate Theatre, Notting Hill, and, joined by the IGRCT, will host two seminars coinciding with these productions. The seminars will each focus on one pair of productions, in line with the double-bill performances. On Tuesday 17th May (17:00-20:00) Bristol will host 'Agamemnon & Clytemnestra', aiming to facilitate dialogue between scholars of translation and tragedy in contemporary theatre and theatre practitioners behind the new versions. This seminar will be followed by a wine reception.
Guest speakers include Vanda Zajko (Bristol), Katja Krebs (Bristol), David Bullen (Royal Holloway/By Jove Theatre), alongside playwrights Caroline Bird and Lulu Raczka, who have written the 'Agamemnon' and the 'Clytemnestra' adaptations for the Iphigenia Quartet respectively.
Free event; booking required via eventbrite for catering purposes.

Who doesn't love a linky party?
The best way to get out there and make new bloggy friends is to link up! The whole premise of a linky party is to support one another. You discover new blogs, possibly new life long friends (who you may never meet in real life), get inspired, be validated, laugh, cry, all of it.
Link Up parties happen everywhere! Social media is such a big thing now when having a blog. I like to call
her/ him/it, my Sales & Marketing Fairy, that works to introduce who and what you are to everything they can be included in. If you don't get yourself out there, they won't know you are around. (KEY: Stay out there. Or they will forget you are around)
Twitter and Instagram, you keep me young (flip hair, cause I feel like that's what they do). And some days, I feel like I'm Grandma Stuck On Ancient trying to see the remote through my tri-focals to click the right button.
Without further ado, please see below some of the linky parties in my best way of organized chaos for the following channels. (I was stuck on the whole grandma thing so I stayed with TV verbiage).
>Specials: 1st of the month. Perfect for all my military friends.
There you have it. Go have fun, pick some places that peak your interest. Happy Linking!

"I had not wanted this to be an American programme….In each country bi-national Commissions were to develop the kind of programme that made sense to them…" – Senator J William Fulbright
What is most unique about the Fulbright programme is that it has established a global system of bi-national exchanges, each between the U.S and a partner nation. There are 51 bi-national Commissions administering the Fulbright Programme around the world.
Bi-national Commission are based on the concept of partnership between the U.S. and the host country. It is different from other programmes of the U.S. government. It is free of the notion of "tied aid". These Commissions are autonomous entities and members of the Commissions Boards are drawn from both the host country and the U.S. government. Neither the U.S. Government nor the host government has veto power.
The joint contribution to and participation in this unique bi-national Commission demonstrates a mutual intent to expand upon this long tradition of education and cultural exchange.

Illinois' Gov Quinn signs bill giving seniors a break on property tax. At a cost.
Senior citizens in most of Illinois will get a break on their property tax bills next year because of a bill Gov. Pat Quinn signed recently. That's good, much-needed relief.
However, seniors getting a break means the rest of us will pay more. The tax pie won't shrink because local taxing bodies are entitled to get the same amount they did the year before, plus the rate of inflation. That's the way the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, commonly referred to as tax caps, works.read more

text: Hello. I just was wondering if anyone else has had nerve damage after their surgeries? I had an EMG done last week and it would appear that I have a form of neuralgia- it causes me some pretty intense pain and nerve spasms in my back. Feels like I am getting shocked or stabbed all over the place. They are trying some nerve meds & Oxy for pain. Anyone else have these? What works? Also, does anyone know if this is just something that happened to me or is it because of the surgery? Will this go away? Thanks in advance for your help!

Transcript of IMF Press Briefing
March 23, 2017
MR. RICE: Good morning, everyone. And welcome to this press briefing on behalf of the International Monetary Fund. I am Gerry Rice of the Communications Department.
And as usual, this morning our briefing will be embargoed until 9:30 a.m., that's Washington time. I'm going to make a few announcements and then get to your questions in the room. Take a couple online as well.
So, beginning with events, I can tell you that tomorrow, March 24, at 9:30 a.m., our Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, will give the opening remarks at a conference on Gender and Macroeconomics, being held here at the Fund. You are welcome to attend.
And then on April 3rd, Madame Lagarde will speak at the American Enterprise Institute here in Washington. And interestingly, I think presenting a new study from IMF staff on the issue of productivity growth, big issue. And as I say, she will be -- we'll be releasing that report that day, and Christine Lagarde will be at the American Enterprise Institute, and it starts at 11:00 o'clock, April 3rd.
On April 5 to 7, our First Deputy Managing Director, David Lipton, will be in Argentina. And he'll be attending the World Economic Forum's, Latin America Summit, in Buenos Aires. Our director for the Western Hemisphere Department, Alejandro Werner, will also be there.
Also, around that time, April 6 and 7, our Deputy Managing Director, Mitsuhiro Furusawa, will be in the Philippines attending the ASEAN+3, Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting.
And then -- I'll keep this short -- but as you know around April 6, we head into the Spring Meetings Agenda, and we can give you much more detail on that, as you wish. But that will be the time of the next -- my next briefing here. And we will be releasing various analytical chapters of the Global Financial Stability Report, the World Economic Outlook, and those of you who follow the Fund are very familiar with that. So, around April 6, we'll be heading into that.
Just one date, just throw out one date for you, April 12th, the Managing Director will be giving what we call here, our Curtain Raiser Speech for the Spring Meetings, and she's going to be doing that this year in Brussels. In fact, at the Bruegel Institute; you know, we try and move this thing around the world. But she will be essentially, at that point, April 12th, laying out how we see the main issues for the Spring Meetings, so that's something to look out for.
With that, let me turn to your questions in the room. Good morning.
QUESTIONER: Good morning. Good morning, Gerry. Thanks for doing this, as always. And I just wanted to try to find out. Can you tell us what happened with the review for Ukraine that was scheduled for Monday and was postponed at the last moment? Why was the decision taken -- and why so late on that?
MR. RICE: Yes. You are quite right. As we said a few days ago, the meeting that had been scheduled on Ukraine on the third review of our lending arrangement with Ukraine, that has been postponed, and that's to allow our staff time to assess implications of various recent developments for the program. I don't have a lot more for you on that, except to say, you know, constructive discussions between staff and Ukrainian authorities have been continuing.
Again, taking into account, you know, some recent developments. I characterize those discussions as constructive, and I'd also say that we expect to announce a new Board date soon. And you know, because you follow the Fund so closely, but others may not. This isn't unusual. Okay. That we have a postponement of a Board date, it happens -- it's not unusual.
So, I wouldn't read too much into it. And I think it's only natural in cases where, you know, we have developments that we step back to assess. Yes.
QUESTIONER: When you talk about developments everybody assumes, in Ukraine at least, that it has to do with the blockade of the Donbass region in that country. Is that assumption correct?
MR. RICE: As I said, I don't have a lot more for you beyond what I've said. I don't have the details of the developments; our staff is discussing all of that with the authorities. And again, it's very constructive, the discussions we've had in recent days. And I expect, we expect, to be able to announce a Board date soon.
QUESTIONER: The decision was announced when the MD and the First Deputy MD were in Baden-Baden in Germany.
MR. RICE: Yeah.
QUESTIONER: Does this mean that the decision was not cleared with them, or did they clear it in Germany?
MR. RICE: Now, you know the way the IMF works, so --
QUESTIONER: Well, I want you to say this.
MR. RICE: All right. Then I'll say it, that of course our management is fully informed, and more than that, is making the decisions on these things. So, yes --
QUESTIONER: They made the decisions in Germany, and relayed them here. Is that correct?
MR. RICE: Well, I wouldn't overly complicate it. I mean, the way that the Fund works is that staff and management work closely together, and management of course always approves such decisions, and that was, indeed, the case here. We have a --
QUESTIONER: One last thing. One very last --
MR. RICE: Okay. It's just we have a colleague from Ukraine as well.
QUESTIONER: Yes. One very last thing; when the Ukrainian government held their own emergency meetings because of the decision, the Ukrainian president made a joke, or at least he said that somebody made a joke to him, that they needed to send to the IMF some well-known radicals, radical nationalists from Ukraine to conduct negotiations with the IMF. I think it implied some sort of threat to the IMF, physical threat. Do you find the joke funny?
MR. RICE: You know, I haven't -- I'm not familiar with that at all. So, I don't really have anything on that. Are we on Ukraine?
QUESTIONER: Yes.
MR. RICE: Okay. Welcome.
QUESTIONER: Thank you for your answer about Ukraine. But can I ask you to clarify? Is the IMF considering new conditions of the disbursement, I mean terms and demand?
MR. RICE: I am not aware of us seeking new conditions. As I said, you know, there have been developments in Ukraine; we are discussing those developments with the authorities in a constructive way, and we expect to be able to announce a new date for the Board meeting soon. So again, as I mentioned, this is not unusual that a Board date moves around a little bit, so I hope that's helpful. Good morning.
Questioner: Good morning, Gerry. I have a question on Greece and the Greek program. It was reported or actually, the European officials said that the IMF is seeking assurances from the Greek opposition for the measures in order to consider re-entering the Greek program. I understand you had something out that was actually denying that, but can you please explain your rationale in what you would expect what you would like to see Greece given -- as regarding the support of the program, given that this program is considering measures, you know, for a long period of time --
Questioner: -- up to 2019, 2020. Thank you.
MR. RICE: Okay, I'm not sure I have a great deal for you on that, but maybe clarifying if I can. You know strong ownership of -- of a program is, without doubt, essential to its effectiveness, to its success and, you know, the government in Greece, it's true for all our programs actually, is encouraged to build that strong support around the -- around the program. What I can do now is reconfirm that we have not had contact with opposition parties. As we have said previously, so I'm just reconfirming that for you. How else can I help you?
Questioner: Well, we know in the past that the opposition has been required to sign letter of agreement or understanding that the measures of previous government, of the current government will -- will --
MR. RICE: Yeah.
Questioner: -- be effective --
MR. RICE: Yeah.
Questioner: -- for another possible government. Is that something we might expect in this case as well?
MR. RICE: Yeah, that's -- what you said is true and it's true also, again, not just in Greece, but in other programs, but I think it really depends on when we get to the stage ofbeginning to agree that we would be moving forward with a program, and we're not there yet, clearly. In fact, maybe I'll just give you the status, because I see a few other Greek colleagues in the room, that the discussions are continuing in Brussels between the authorities and the institutions. The IMF is there and looking at some of the key policy issues, in particular, pension and labor market reforms. And what I can tell you is that progress is being made, but more work will be needed to narrow remaining differences, so those discussions are live. They are ongoing now. I don't have the detailed agenda for you, but that's the status. Yes.
Questioner: Thank you. Is there any chance that the second review can be completed without the Fund's agreement, I mean, the same way that happened with the first -- the first review?
MR. RICE: You know, that's a question really, I think for the European partners, to ask them, but what they have said until now, as you know, is that they would like and would -- to have the IMF involved and more than that, the Greek authorities have also indicated that they would like to have the IMF involved, so we're engaged, we're discussing, and we're trying to, along with our partners and with the Greek authorities, move this as quickly as we can. Okay, -- why don't I take her and him, so that I can bundle this up and we can move on given the shortage of time.
Questioner: Given the Greek economic situation with Secretary Mnuchin when they might -- weeks ago, and do you think the new administration has a different approach to the Greek issue?
MR. RICE: Yes, as I've said, before here, you know, I'm not aware of -- of any change in view of the -- of the U.S. Administration, but it's really again, something that you should -- that you should put to them. The discussion with Secretary Mnuchin, as I said, at the time, I think covered a wide range of topics. I believe that Greece was one of those topics, so this is a conversation that took place now, several weeks ago, but yes, I think --
MR. RICE: Yes, in their meeting, I believe that, you know, they covered a wide range of topics, including -- including Greece. Again, it was a number of weeks ago now. What else? Let's take one more on Greece from him, and then we move on up.
Questioner: What they are accusing you of - not you personally, of course, the IMF --
MR. RICE: Thank you.
Questioner: -- is that -- they say that the question is if you really want to stay on this program, and they say this is the case, actually, if you decide to stay or go, and also they, say according to the report, that the finance minister of Greece exchanged harsh words with the head of the mission recently in Athens. And he's accusing IMF that it's stopping the the completion of the review. So do you see any possibility for the IMF to stay on this problem?
MR. RICE: You know, I said it before, so maybe just repeating here, we're working with all the partners as hard as we can toward reaching an agreement. We are fully engaged and trying to be as helpful as we can. And I've just characterized the discussions in Brussels as, you know, we think there's progress being made. But at the same time, there's more work needed to be done to narrow the remaining differences, so I'm not going to speculate on timing or set unrealistic expectations - that's not helpful. But we are working as hard as we can, as I just said. Can we move on from Greece, please? Let me move on from Greece. Yeah?
MR. RICE: So you're not going to ask about Greece?
Questioner: No, no, not at all.
MR. RICE: Thank you.
Questioner: We're trying to get out of a very, very deep recession, and we are discussing pension reform, and we already excluded the militaries from the reform, the congressmen from the reform, and this week we also excluded the public servants in the states of our pension reform. So maybe our government will be forced to raise taxes. So I wonder if the IMF would comment on that. What happened with those that are already in this very difficult challenge of discussing perks in their spending, but can be forced in the future to discuss all these reforms again?
MR. RICE: Yeah, I don't really have anything on this new these new measures that have been discussed in recent days, so it's something we'll look at, I think once we have the full details and some time to look at it. Sorry about that.
Questioner: Hi. I think Tunisia's finance minister, either yesterday or today, indicated that they're optimistic that they might receive the next tranche in their program next month. Do you have any update on that?
MR. RICE: Yes, on Tunisia, what I can tell you is that the discussions on completing the first review are still ongoing. I can tell you an IMF staff team was in Tunis in February and was assessing and discussing with the authorities. So that's kind of where we are, the discussions are ongoing, and we are trying, again, to move as fast as we can in support of the government's program. So I don't have timing for you on that.
QUESTIONER: As a follow up, does the Fund have a position on the G-20 communique that came out last week? There was a shift in the language on --
MR. RICE: Yeah.
QUESTIONER: -- trade. A bit of less commitment to avoiding protectionism. What's the Fund's view on that?
MR. RICE: We did have a view on that, and actually we released a statement in the name of our Managing Director that gave our view on the G-20 meeting, which you know, we thought it was a constructive meeting.
On your your specific question on trade and so, and I know there's a lot of ex-post discussion of that. Number one, the IMF's view on trade, I think we've talked about it here many times, even in recent days. But we believe trade has been a major engine of global growth and prosperity, and that the objective of the open trade conducted under fair rules and well-enforced is a shared objective.
At the same time, there's been a lot of discussion here at the IMF and in other forums, and in the G-20, I think, about the need to pursue policies that better extend the benefits of trade and integration to all. So I think that's been the IMF view.
On your question about the G-20. What I would say is the way I look at the communique. I think we saw, actually, G-20 consensus revolving around improving, not abandoning, the architecture of free trade. And, of course, how individual countries approach that improvement process is up to them, and the IMF with our 189 members is there to provide support.
What Madame Lagarde said after the meeting was that in that context we should avoid self-inflicted wounds, as she characterized it. And I think, again, that was a sentiment shared at the G-20. Meaning that, we should avoid policies that would seriously undermine trade and openness and productivity. Because that translates into a negative effect on incomes and living standards, which is something we all want to avoid. So that's the way I read the G-20, to answer your question.
You, and then I'll take a couple online and then probably have to wrap.
QUESTIONER: Thank you, Gerry. I would like to ask --
MR. RICE: Are we back to Greece?
QUESTIONER: No, we're not. I'd like to ask about the U.S. budget and the president's budget on --
MR. RICE: Sure.
QUESTIONER: -- regarding multilateral organizations. I understand there is a cut on Treasury International programs.
MR. RICE: Can you say again? QUESTIONER: A cut. A budget report cut.
MR. RICE: Okay, okay.
QUESTIONER: For multilateral organization, the Treasury's International Program by 35 percent and that includes, certainly, the World Bank and multilateral banks. I was wondering whether you have estimated if it affects the IMF at all, and whether you at all concerned that these might be an indication of things to come toward, you know, how the new administration views the IMF? Thank you.
MR. RICE: Well, I will speak only for the IMF, obviously. But our reading of it, you know, we're still assessing the budget outline, but our assessment is it would not have a direct impact. Would not have a direct impact on the income of the IMF. Just for everyone, we are a quota-based institution, and our operations, for example, are not subject to annual U.S. budgetary appropriations, as I think you know.
And your broader point about direction and so on. I will just say what I've said here before, which is that the United States is a major shareholder of the IMF, has been a major supporter of the IMF. We've had an excellent relationship with the United States throughout our history, and we would expect -- we're fully expecting that to continue.
Maybe just relatedly, back to the G-20. If you look at the G-20 communique that came out just a few days ago, there's a great deal of support for the work of the IMF in that communique. I won't give you line by line here, but if you have time to glance at the communique you'll see a lot of support for the work of the -- various work strands of the IMF in that communique. So we're quite encouraged about that.
I'm going to maybe take just a couple online and then probably wrap it up. There's a question on Mozambique. And the question is whether the audit that's underway of undisclosed public expenditures in Mozambique, we're talked about that here before, and asking is that audit going to be made public?
And I can tell you that, yes, the audit will be published. I don't have the modalities on the timing of the release, but that's going to be determined by the public prosecutor. But, yes, it will be published. And you know that that audit is something that the IMF has been pushing strongly for.
And there's another question on Mozambique, so let me just take it. It's asking about negotiations with the bond holders, and should this happen before or after the negotiation of an IMF financial package with the government, and which should come first?
I really don't have sequencing on that. The discussions are underway. I just mentioned the audit that has to take place. SoI don't have a sequencing on that.
And I'm going to take on last one on Belarus. It may be of interest to you also. That requests have been made publicly to the IMF to not give loans to the government. Has the IMF received such letters and, if so, how many and so on?
I am not aware of any letters to the IMF on this. I am aware, from press reports, that there's a petition ongoing in Belarus. But, again, we haven't received anything there. On the status of Belarus. Is that your question?
QUESTIONER: That was one of my questions, yes.
MR. RICE: Yeah.
QUESTIONER: But I didn't ask it. But I understand a delegation --
basically met with
So if you could update that on what was decided?
MR. RICE: Yeah. You're right. So I can confirm that. That IMF staff discussions with the Belarussian authorities have taken place, continue, and with a view to a possible IMF supported program.
On March 16, to answer your question, in Minsk, an IMF team did meet with President Lukashenko at his invitation. And you asked what the discussions were about. They centered on the economic and social situation, pace of reform in Belarus. I can tell you that one feature of the discussions and an emphasis from the IMF staff team was a stronger social safety net to protect those most in need in Belarus.
Okay. I can tell you discussions about expected to continue into the Spring Meetings here in Washington in April. I am going to leave it there. Thank you very much for your patience today and look forward to seeing you in the coming days. And, again, on April 6. Thank you very much

Great location and property with nice amenities. The check-in staff were very welcoming and informative. The only complaint was that the tram driver on one day of our stay was very rude. We took that as a reflection of himself and not the overall property and staff. We would definitely recommend this property to others and consider staying here in the future.
Magnolia 205 was very well decorated and had nice views. However the door to our lanai was broken and could not be locked. Loved the built in bunk beds. Overall a very nice place to stay .
The condo was great for our family. We loved the use of space with adding the bunk beds. It is a bright, updated condo. We had some issues with the dishwasher and the shower, but they were quick to respond and fix the problems. We love the location, right by the pool, and the beautiful view of the coastline. It was a wonderful week!

The other day I had the sad duty of attending the memorial service for one of the nicest women I've ever known. She was a guiding light of our church and the kind of person in whose presence you always felt welcome and important. We had been in a sewing group together and she was a member of a committee I chaired, but mostly I knew her as someone with whom I could share a delicious story or slightly ribald joke. I am tremendously grateful that I knew her and that she was given 84 years among us.
Her eulogy exposed many startling facts. For instance, at 15, she did a part-time stint as the town phone operator and one of her responsibilities was to know at all times which bar the town's alcoholic doctor was frequenting, just in case someone was injured or went into labor. Her kind-hearted mother became pals with the local prostitute, and they would swap clothing -- and occasionally some mighty fancy trims festooned my friend's homemade outfits, the result of this unconventional relationship. When she lived in Milwaukee, my friend would attend the garment district's end-of-season sales, dragging home bolts of fabric so she could make her own childrens' wardrobes. Her daughter jokingly said she remembered wearing the same print, in different incarnations, for 15 years when she was young.
One thing that didn't surprise me is that my friend had a big stash of fabric in her sewing room, and that it had taken her and her two daughters four days to clear it out before she moved with her husband to a senior living complex several months ago. When the minister mentioned this, however, I felt a sudden urge to cry out: What did she do with it?!
It turns out much of it went to her then-next door neighbor, who also attends our church and provided the great description of G-d I've shared here before.
Now, what the heck is SHE going to do with it? Her sewing room is similarly packed to the rafters with fabric and every other kind of craft material. She's been known to part happily with stacks of upholstery fabric books she acquired from her daughter, who is an interior designer. Yet, like me, she must have found it difficult to say no to an offer of something she might use some time, some place, some how.
Well, what kind of a friend would I be if I didn't offer to take some off her hands? I have pillowcases and quilts to sew, and I could use yardage, right? Rationalization, thy name is Sewist.
And you know what, if you call it a weakness, not an addiction, it's a lot easier to take.

1. Foreword
The township of Angono is one of the smallest in the Province of Rizal in terms of land area[1] but it is perhaps the only place in the country whose inhabitants have the passion for art. Since the discovery of the petroglyphs by Carlos "Botong" Francisco in 1965, followed by the posthumous declaration of Francisco as a National Artist for visual arts in 1973, Angono has become a haven of artists with a rich cultural heritage. Another renowned artist in the field of music was Maestro Lucio D. San Pedro whose musical genuis earned him the title National Artist for music in 1991. Aside from the two (2) luminaries, there are several less renouned but equally gifted homegrown painters, composers and sculptors, notably Nemesio Miranda, Jose "Pitok" Blanco and Orville Tiamson.
The Municipal Government of Angono, Rizal (MGAR) has been an avid patron and supporter of the arts, and this is evident in its Mission statement to "create a climate conducive...

Why Does It Need a Title
by, 06-02-2017 at 04:23 PM (5870 Views)
Titles are just labels. At times they can be detrimental. If I was writing a news article, the title would stand out more than the content on social media right now more than ever.
I have a number of Americans on my social media. It looks like a fcucking circus of sewage, or a food fight that involves 2% food and 98% sh|t. There's very little to be done about the situation at hand, very little point to talk about what it means for other countries aside from recognising that its very impacting, so I don't think I'll be mentioning this and simply as a server where I can spew out crap that very, very few people, if any at all, are going to read it, I came here as an alternative to spewing it out on Facebook.
So firstly, I don't recognize the United States anymore. That was a slow realization but just how much I didn't recognize it came less than a year ago when I started reading the news there again and asking questions from people I know there, listening to differant answers from people of varying political perspectives, varying levels of racism, etc. The sh|tstorm that is currently happening there domestically, this has to just be mostly from the perspective of the window I look through on social media. Right?
Secondly, since I said "firstly", I forgot what was secondly.
So the reality right now, is that because of bureaucratic fcuk ups where I live now along with failures of this countries embassy in Australia, my legal status as a residence is sort of in limbo, and because of a fcik up in the beurocracy of the US, I have to go to the US Embassy this week to straighten out their paperwork error. I have no idea what sort of agreements the US has here, but the chance that there's a responsibility the the embassy reports my residency situation before I can get it resolved properly, is there, and that scenario could very well land me back in the US, and probably would. This has me pretty nervous and on edge when I think about it for many reasons only one that is important here.
The best case scenario, for the purposes here, if I'm landed back in the US, is that I actually have assistance when I get there or someone who will help me out, and in this scenario I'm left asking myself, "Okay, when's the US Civil War going to start?".
So that's the question I keep looking at when I see the torrent of crap happening there now. I keep wanting to reply to these 10,000 shared news storys with ridiculously radical responses, "The only thing worth talking about is weather or not its time to pick up a gun and do something about it, or if you should just shut the fcuk up and go about your day". Protesting accomplishes nothing with maybe the exception of moving people further in the direction of actual action, so the idea of peaceful protest seems either stupidly futile, or at the end of the day not the peaceful outcome you hoped for.
If the country is in fact headed in that direction, of large scale violence, which seems like one plausible future outcome but without knowing when that may or may not happen (next week, a decade, thirty years), then its sort of a scary situation in the respect (and I'm assuming I've survived) that I think people might become ready to really let sh|t hit the fan and tear down a government blindly, but without anything to fill the vacuum that's left and truth be told, if I had my finger on a button that was wirelessly connected to bombs attached to everyone in a position of power there right now, it would be a temptation. You'd really have to be killing a shitload of people, I'm not being selective in this thought experiment about who lives or dies, so if all I knew is that it was going to eliminate everyone in power from politicians to well ranked military, and ask myself "Would I do it?", I really have no idea but the contrast to that is that any other previous point in time, with the exception of the first Gulf War because I was young and idealistically stupid, I wouldn't have thought of this in the first place and had someone else had proposed it I would have said "no".
Today, its like, "Eh... heads or tails huh?... and either way I land it, some other country might take control anyway?... lets pick a random corporation and if they open lower than normal tomorrow, we'll do it. Let fate decide."
Anyway, I'm getting tired of seeing the insanity that people feel is important to argue about and I'm getting tired of getting sucked into that insanity from time to time. Yes, its happening, its even happening as expected, its merely ahead of schedule. Why is this surprising? Is there something you can do about it? Are you going to? If you said "No" then shut the fcik up.
EDIT: And to further illustrate the insanity of the times we live in, it occurred to me after re-reading what I wrote, that it might be wise to come back and clarify that when I said I don't recognize the United States anymore, that this was meant in the same context that someone might say "He's been shooting meth for 2 years, I didn't recognize his face anymore" and was not at all in the context of "I don't recognize the nation as sovereign, legitimate, or that I don't feel a part of it, or feel above it, etc, etc."

New Terrains in Southeast Asian History
Edited by Abu Talib Ahmad and Tan Liok Ee
At a watershed moment in the scholarly approach to the history of this important region, New Terrains in Southeast Asian History captures the richness and diversity of historical discourse among Southeast Asian scholars. Through the perspectives of scholars who live and work within the region, the book offers readers a rare opportunity to enter into the world of Southeast Asian historiography.
