Good morning and hello to another outfit! A favourite one of mine since this pretty skirt came in the mailbox. My roommate gave me this tip about the great collection Asos has at the moment, and since I saw this skirt in her wishlist I knew I had to get it. That same night I orderd it and a few days later I shot some outfit photos with this new favourite.

Lovely Locations // Fresca, Nijmegen
It has already been a while since I went to this lovely location. I think about two weeks ago, but I still wanted to share it upon here. I had a weekend off that time and went to Fresca in Nijmegen with Paul and my parents. The plan was to get some coffee, but we ended up ordering some cake ass well. That because you just can't say no to that showcase filled with goodies. I mean look at it. Autumn was already there but it was such a nice warm day, so we were able to sit outside.

Outfit // All inside our Amsterdam she hides
Hi there! Here is that new outfit I talked about in my last post. It took me a weekend to find time again. Beeen busy with some really great things, which included a lot of interior shopping! More about that later. This outfit was shot already two weeks ago. I do have time to shoot photographs, and to sort them out, but then the writing part remains untouched for a long time. But here it is, a new post.

Instagram & Update // Pretty buildings, Amsterdam and lots of Foam
Since I started my internship at Foam my blog got a grand total of 2 posts. And this is my fourth week. Yesterday night I finally found a little time (read: stayed up too late) to write some blog posts (the outfit in the middle of this set will be online soon!). It was time for some blogging again, and I'm glad I took a little time to write, the photos were already there.

TRAVEL // Gent, Belgium
Good morning! My second week has already begun and it already is such a while back since Paul and I went to Belgium for a summer road trip. I've had this post ready for a long time but since my internship there was no time left for posting some things upon here at the end of the day. But this weekend I had time to write this post and to shoot some new outfit photos! For now this (very late, sorry not sorry) post of when we were in Gent.
First of all, Gent is such a beautiful city! Just like Brugge the city has the most amazing vintage/old architecture plus a great atmosphere. After we visited Brugge we drove to Gent, and went into the city right after we arrived. I still remember these days were so careless and free, such a difference with the busy working life right now. In Gent we took our time and wandered around the city too. But also took a boat trip, which was really fun! The canals are a lovely place to sail through. Furthermore we admired the pretty houses, had more Belgian beers, ate some waffles, ohh and we had the best chocolate cake at LKKR, you can read a bit more about that here. I love the first photo most, that place in Gent was my favourite part of the city. From on the bridge you have a great view over those pretty houses near the water. Have you ever been to Gent?

NEW IN // September favourites, E-Polette & Brandy jumper
Good morning! Since my last Zakynthos post plus the fact that my internship begins next monday, I feel like summer is completely over. That's not the fact, I know, the weather has been soo good here! Yesterday I sat outside almost the entire day, soaking up the sun. But on monday I went to Amsterdam to settle some things at Foam. Afterwards I stopped by at Brandy Melville... that's never good for my wallet. But it is good for my closet: got myself a new jumper! It is so soft and warm, perfect with a pair of black jeans or a skirt! Oh I also got a new necklace at Forever21, love the light stones. The little wallet is my all time favourite since Zakynthos. Prints like that are so beautiful!
Another item which will match my internship are these new glasses I got from Polette. Last week I went to their blogger event for the new e-polette. I met up with Joanne in Utrecht and together we took the train to Amsterdam. The event was fun! As I said, I met Joanne and some other bloggers and it was really nice to meet them! Polette told us more about their new e-polette and we all got the e-brooklyn (the frame which you can see on the photos).
The e-polette protects your eyes by filtering the blue light from screens all around you. Like your phone, laptop or sometimes even lamps can affect your eyes (more info at Polette). For my internship I'll be spending most of my time behind a computer screen so these new glasses are perfect to wear to the office! I already tested the glasses a few times (read: wearing them non stop, since I'm so happy that I can wear glasses with a reason now) and the blue light filter really works. Looking at my laptop with these glasses on makes my eyes way more at ease! Oh and it lowers the headache I got a lot after spending a few hours behind my laptop. This frame wasn't the one I would choose (in love with the Dean View from Polette) but I love how it looks on me, and I'll certainly wear this one a lot! What do you think of my new items? And how about me with glasses on?

TRAVEL // Touring through Zakynthos, Greece #3
So here it is, the last Zakynthos post. I guess I have to believe now that the hollidays are finally over. Don't really know how to feel about that. Right now I'll probably be at Foam for the first day! But with this post a dreamy throwback to our stay in Greece this summer. A bit different and longer than usual because this day there we saw so many pretty places!
During our stay in Zakynthos (Greece) we rented a quad so that we could explore the whole island. I've never been on a quad before so only the riding itself was exiting. Our first stop: Navigo beach, or Shipwreck beach. It was about a 0,5/1 hour drive to that magical place. While we were getting closer the mountains got bigger, or maybe I need to say higher. Some roads were pretty scary, because they were really close to the abyss/cliffs. When we walked to the view point the cliffs were even higher, a bit frightening if you'd ask me. I was shaking while taking the photographs above haha. But the view over the sea and the Shipwreck beach, the cliffs and the extremely blue water was worth it. I'm so glad we visited Navigo beach from on the top!
When we drove away to other unseen places we got a flat tire! But that did lead us to something good, we stopped at a point on the road with on each side 3 tourist shops. The people there helped us to get in contact with the owner of the quad and let us taste all their home made delights, which were really jummy! After a while someone came to fix our quad, but that didn't work.. But in return for the flat quad we got a car to tour further! Which really wasn't a bad thing. It was around lunch time and we stopped at a place/beach called Alykes, Katastari. As you can see on the photos above: a lunch with a view. We sat right next to the beach and had the most amazing pita with tzatziki.
After another drive through all the amazing nature and the pretty but scarry cliffs we ended up at Porto Limionas, a little bay with another pretty view and a perfect place for a swim. There we some small caves we swam into, and jumped from the rocks into the sea. The water was so bright, and also really deep. If you're ever in Zakynthos really go to this amazing place, it's worth the drive.
After Porto Limionas we drove back towards our appartment, but before going back we had a last stop in Keri for dinner. We sat down near the road and near a small town just above/next to the ciffs and the seaside. The place was called "Sunset taverna", and what a beautiful sunset it was. We had an amazing view and saw the sun sink in the sea while we ate more tzatziki, mousaka and some roasted pork from the grill. This restaurant was the perfect place to end the 'touring day'. It was amazing to see more of the island with a quad/car.
What do you think of this post? Have you ever toured through an (Greek) island before? And have you started school/work jet? Anyways, have a lovely new week!

OUTFIT // Favourite striped summer dress
Since I took this dress with me to Zakynthos, it became my favourite dress this summer. Can't believe it is september already and Zakynthos is such a while back. It still feels like a few days ago. I'm also still posting some Zakynthos photos on Instagram, and there also wil be a last Zakynthos blog post. I guess I just don't want the hollidays to be completely over. Anyways, about this outfit. I went to the centre of our village with Willemijn and we took some photos of this favourite summer dress. I love how they turned out! The dress is so light and comfy, but also kind of chique in a sort of way. Not that good in discribing haha. I combined it with a lot of black (favourite color). A vintage bag, floppy hat, my all time favourite Birkenstocks and a black choker. In love with those lately, they can really finish your outfit and give it something extra. What do you think of this dress? &/or outfit?

INSTAGRAM UPDATE // End of August
Good morning! Time flew by so fast, soon it will be september and that means the end of the summer hollidays. Which is sad, but exiting too: the second week of september I'll be starting my internship at Foam Amsterdam! I'm reallly exited and curious about how my internship will be. Have you ever done an internship? And did you like it? For now a little Instagram update!
1. Delicious icecream after shooting some photos with Willemijn. I had yoghurt with blood orange wich was so good! 2. Some details of those photos we took, soon on the blog! 3. Changed my room in Utrecht a little, because I'll stay there most of the time during my internship. Bought this new mirror at IKEA. It was a bit expensive for me but I'm so happy I bought this pretty thing. Because it's very wide it's perfect for some mobile outfit photos, but next to that and more importantly it makes my room look a whole lot bigger. 4. Cameo Island, still dreaming away to that place now and then 5. Tried out these mug cakes, they were very tasty. 6. Pretty houses in Brugge, check out my last post to see more about my stay in that city. 7. Breakkie outside, including the best fresh figs out of my family's garden 8. In the sea at Zakynthos! 9. Outfit from the other day in Nijmegen!

TRAVEL // Brugge, Belgium
A few days (oops maybe a few weeks) has passed since Paul and I took the car out for a road trip to Belgium. I was busy sorting out the photographs for a while and since last week the sun hit the Netherlands too so spent most of my time in the sun. Which isn't a bad thing but that ment a hold for some blog posts. Anyways, here a post about our trip to Brugge.
This summer I made two trips by car, and ohh I love to just ride with some music and the wind blowing through the car (because no airco). We drove from Nijmegen to Brugge and arrived there around noon. We went into the city right after we checked in and ohh what a beautiful city! I'm a real sucker for old, vintage, romantic buildings and Brugge is full of them. I really had to make sure this post wasn't only filled with photos of buildings, haha. But those are what makes Brugge so special, for me a least.
We mostly wandered around the city, visited some chocolate shops, enjoyed the sun (we were lucky with the weather) which was, both, amazing! I loved theone street that was fully filled with chocolate stores. Oh and the other thing we did a lot was sit on terraces outside and enjoyed the Belgian beer. We went to more cafés but we both loved "Het Poatersgat" most! It's a basement with the biggert assortment of specialty beers I've ever seen! I always love to watch people walk by while drinking something outside (anywhere). The next day in Brugge we also went to "Brouwerij de Halve Maan" (brew the Crescent) and saw how their beer was made by a tour through the old brewery. I would really recommend a visit there! And to Brugge in general! After the morning in Brugge we drove to Gent and had 1,5 days there too. Soon a little post about Gent will be up here too, Have you ever been to Brugge?

Going up the country
Going up the country! Anna, Willemijn and Romy and I gave that name to our camping trip last summer. This summer we went out camping again (this time only the three of us) and that name kinda is the camping trip name for us now we plan to get up the county every year. If you wonder where the name came from, check out the song from Canned Heat. We only wish we lived at the time of Woodstock.. Anyways, we took a road&camping trip, and had the best time!
It was about a 1,5 hours ride to the campside and once we were there we could easily set up our tents. Everything came so easy and there was nothing we had to do. It is such a good thing that there are no worries when you're on a holliday. The first day we visited the town nearby, had a small dinner by the tents and went to the beach in the evening. We watched the sunset from the car and finished that with an amazing view at the seaside. The sea during twilight/sunset is such a lovely thing to see.
The next day we went to the beach again, but this time to soak up the sun and for a swim! We were lucky with the weather during our stay! The sun was there the whole day, every day. The sea was really cold, but we all took a swim! In the evening we went out for dinner at the boulevard and had delicious pasta's. Afterwards we went back to our tents and sat there talking and looking at the stars. I experimented a little with my camera plus the shutter and out of that the last photo of the stars was made! We didn't went to a specific place or city, all we knew that near the beach would be a nice thing. It was more the fact that we went up the country and a little camping holliday together! If you're reading Ann&Willy; I had the loveliest time with you! Ohh and I'm in love with the second photo of the wind in their hair! Have you ever been camping? And what about the "Going up the country" song?

LOVELY LOCATIONS // Lkkr, Gent
Heya I'm back again! It has been a little while since my last blog post, that was because I went out camping with Anna and Willemijn. We took a road trip (with the car filled up with camping stuff) to the seaside and had the best three days! More about that soon, since I'm still sorting out the photos. I still got so many things to post, like the last part of Zakynthos, and then I also took another trip to Brugge and Gent. I seriously don't know how I to keep my blog up to date with my life. Since all the trips have sadly came to an end. But by posting them later I can relive the lovely holliday moments again.
Well.. for now: LKKR in Gent. It was our last day in Gent and Paul and I were looking for a place to get some coffee while we came across this lovely small cafe. We went in and had that coffee, including some really good chocolate cake! I love how the big windows give LKKR such bright light, and the minimal interior gives the cafe such a great atmosphere. You can have some coffee with cake there, like we did, but you can also get a fresh sandwich (to go). And they also serve some beers and wines. Oh and how cool is their menu paper?! I would love to go back to this place some day! Have you ever been here?

TRAVEL // Zakynthos, Greece #2
Today I'll share with you the second part of my trip to Zakynthos. Looking back at these photos makes me wanna go back so badly. I wish I could spend my time a little more on that amazing island, since we were there for 8 days. Way too short if you'd ask me. We stayed at Korfiati in Agios Sostis, a small town at the cost, the very first photo is our view from the porch we had. Waking up to those colourfull flowers and the sea every day was such a lovely thing.
I loved the town we were in, the only bad thing was the big amount of other Dutch people. But the beauty of the island compared to that. In the 8 days we had there we mostly enjoyed the sun and the sea (and the pool, and eachother, and lots of tzatziki with pita bread). But we also went out to explore more of Zakynthos. We wandered around in Zakynthos City, went for long walkes at the beach, took a boat trip and we spend a day touring around the whole island, more about that last thing in the next & last Zakynthos post (#3). The boat trip was amazing, that's where the photos from the caves and rocks come from. During the boat trip we went on a little turtle spotting tour, sailed to Turtle Island and visited the Keri Caves. I loved the Keri Caves most, it was so amazing to see the mountains and the rocks meet the sea, we also stopped there for a swim, and swam into the caves. The nature near the sea in Zakynthos is so beautiful. Ohh and I love the under water photo Paul took from me, the water everywhere was so clear. That was the sea near our appartment, During that swim, while snorkling we saw a very big turtle! So.. in short we had the best time in Zakynthos! What place did you visit this summer? And have you ever been to Zakynthos?

Has anyone tried *plain* Nutlettes and enjoyed them? Also, I'd appreciate any info on which of the dixie diner meat-substitute products are the tastiest. Thanks, RF
Hi RF and All,I tried the plain nutlettes. I didn't like them plain, but mixed half and half with grape nuts they are fine. They taste enough like grapenuts that you can't really tell if they are mixed, but plain they taste funny...to me anyway.
Dixies meat replacement products are great, IMHO. I like the smaller pieces, such as the ground "beef-not" They have a very interesting web site too.

My daughter found a metal disk cemented into rocks at the top of a mountain today. It was stamped NASA Orbital Tracking Disk. We came home and off course hit the internet and found one other reference to it. Don't know if it is part of a secret government plan, or just a hoax. It was found in an area that had obviously experienced a fire within the last two years. The crash site of a UFO marked for future research?
maybe one day that nasa thing could be worth alot of money and you are they one that found it you would be a millonair that would be cool if that did happen!

It was a Friday afternoon, a beautiful sunny day and I was on my way home to start a two-week vacation. My name is Paula, I am 36, and I work as an attorney for a large law firm in the city. I have been widowed for 6 years, sadly my husband was killed in an auto accident leaving me to raise our son, James alone, it has been very hard trying to combine my career and raising James and probably because I feel I have neglected him over the last couple of years I tend to spoil him now more than I should. James is a very quiet, shy boy, he does not have many friends, preferring to spend most of his free time home, either using his computer or reading, or on his latest craze - working out.
I love James very much, he's all I have now, the only man in my life and now that my career is running smoothly I can concentrate more on him. When I got home there was no sign of James, feeling hot and sticky I decided to go right up, shower and get changed, my bedroom door was open and as I neared it I could see James in my room, he seemed to be going through my dirty washing hamper, what could he be doing I thought, I ducked back out of sight and looking through the crack of the door saw James take out a pair of my used panties and hold them to his nose and start to smell them, he did this with the others then he sat in my chair, unzipped his pants and holding my panties at his nose with one hand he started to play with his dick with the other, then wrapping my panties around his dick he jerked himself off.
This was new to me, of course I new James was growing up, maturing, it was only natural he would want to explore his sexuality but was it normal for a son to want to use his Mom's panties in order to jerk off? I quietly made my way back downstairs and this time opened and closed the front door, slamming it shut, I called out, "James, I'm home, are you here?" and went into the kitchen to make a coffee.
James came into the kitchen, "Hi mom, had a good day?" he asked, I told him I had and that I was looking forward to spending time with him over the next two weeks, we chatted for a while till I said I was going to take a shower and get into something comfortable. I went up to my bedroom to get undressed, when I put my clothes in the hamper I picked out the panties he had used, they were soaked with his cum, James had jerked himself off into my panties. All night I couldn't stop thinking about what I had seen, I began to notice things I had not noticed before, it looked like James was taking more of an interest in me as a woman, he was looking at my body, he sat next to me while we watched TV, I saw his bulge in his trousers, my darling little boy had a hard-on, it was then that I realized then that James was no longer my little boy, James was now a young man.
Next day while James was out at the pool I went into his bedroom to tidy up, as I was putting things away I found some porn magazines and a scrap book in a box at the bottom of his wardrobe, not wanting him to know I had been in there I put them back and later when he went into town and I knew he would be gone for a couple of hours I went back and got them out. The magazines were certainly XXX, real hardcore porn, some of the pictures had been cut out, I opened the scrap book and saw that he had stuck a selection in there, pictures of girls sucking men's dicks, girls getting fucked, girls with dicks up their asses, girls with cum over their faces, he had cut out and pasted in a selection of stories, when I read them they were all the same theme - Incest, sons having sex with their mom's, fathers and their daughters, then when I turned to the last pages I was shocked, there was a picture of a girl getting fucked, only James had replaced the girls head with a picture of me, next to it was a hand written story by James detailing him having sex with me.
I put everything back the way I had found it and went downstairs, I made myself a drink and sat, thinking about what I had seen, James needed help, I decided then that it wasn't good or healthy for him to learn about sex from porno magazines, he would get the wrong idea of what it was all about, he would miss out on the loving, caring side of sex, he had to be told there was more to it, If only his dad was still alive maybe things would have worked out differently but it was my duty as a parent to educate him as best as I could and I intended to do just that.
When James returned from town I was at the pool sunbathing, he got changed and joined me. I was wearing a tiny bikini and throughout the afternoon James couldn't take his eyes off me, as I was wearing dark sunglasses he couldn't see that I too was watching him, I noticed the bulge he had in his swimsuit, after a while I called James over and asked him to oil my back, as he rubbed the oil over me I saw his bulge getting bigger, he finished and sat on the floor next to me, I turned to him and started to chat, I asked him how things were going at school, then about his friends, did he have a girlfriend yet?
He told me he didn't, "Why do you ask mom?" he said.
I sat up and said, "James, you are growing up, you are not a boy any more, if your dad was still alive he would sit and talk with you - man to man, you know, about the facts of life and everything" I wasn't making a very good job of it, "What I'm trying to say James is....well, if there is anything you want to talk about, if there is anything bothering you or something you want to discuss with me, anything at all I want you to know you can come to me any time, and I mean anything" I asked him if he had done sex education at school, he said they had then jokingly added "don't worry mom, I haven't put it into practice yet" "I'm glad to hear that" I replied. I lay back on the lounger, closed my eyes and thought about how I could continue his 'education'.
I must have dozed off, I opened my eyes and saw James sitting close to me, staring at my body, he saw I was awake, "Mom, did you really mean it when you said I could talk to you about anything?" he asked.
"Anything you want" I told him, "Well there are a couple of things I am not sure about but I don't know if you are the right person to ask, I mean.....I feel embarrassed"
"James, there is no need to be embarrassed, I promise you, tell me what's bothering you"
"Ok, well it's....its about kissing, most of the guys at school go on about the girls they have kissed but I've never done it, I don't know how to, I would probably get it wrong and look like an idiot, how do I know if I'm doing it right? Would you show me how to kiss?"
I sat up, "Kissing is no big deal James, people kiss in different ways, what's right for some is wrong for others, to be truthful with you it gets better with practice, some people keep their lips closed, some open them and let each others tongues explore their mouths" again he asked me to show him, I didn't think it no big deal. I stood up, "Ok, come here, show me how you would kiss a girl" he stood and walked to me, I leaned forward and our lips touched, I felt his tongue try to part my lips, I opened my lips and his tongue darted into my mouth, his hands went to my shoulders, pulling me closer to him, my tits squashed against his bare chest, everything seemed to happen so fast, he kissed me deeply.
I could feel his dick now pressing into me, as I said, this all happened in a few seconds but seemed longer, I pushed him away, breaking our kiss, "Wow, for someone who says he has never kissed before I would say you've got nothing to worry about" I told him.
"Did I do it right?" he asked.
"You did fine, just fine" I said, sitting down. James sat there quietly, apparently deep in thought, I asked him if there was anything else bothering him, he blushed a little and said, "Well, to be truthful mom there is a whole lot about sex I am not sure of, I mean I know about making babies and all that but it's the rest that worries me" A few weeks ago while I was looking through the video tapes at the rental shop I remembered seeing a sex education tape, I told James that if he wanted me to I would get the tape and watch it with him, explain things to him that he was 'not sure of' he said he would like that so that afternoon I picked up the tape and told James we would watch it later that evening.
After dinner I showered and changed my clothes, ever since my kiss with James this afternoon I had felt very horny, I decided that seeing I had become his big interest I would give him a treat and picked out a very sexy, revealing dress, I didn't bother with a bra, I looked in the mirror, the dress was so low cut my nipples were almost visible, I put on a tiny pair of lacy, black panties, black stockings and a black suspender belt, I put on fresh makeup, then looking in the mirror again I began to have second thoughts, 'what am I doing' I asked myself, here I was making myself look sexy, about to sit and watch a sex education video with my son, was I doing the right thing?
I decided that if he was to learn about sex I wanted to be the one who taught him, showed him and taking a deep breath I went downstairs. James was sitting watching TV, when he saw me come in he stood up and said, "Wow! you look great mom" I thanked him and poured myself a drink, a large strong drink, I was actually shaking with nerves.
"Right" I said, "Come and sit next to me on the couch and we will watch the video, and remember James, promise me if there is anything you are not sure about or want to ask me don't be embarrassed, ok?" he told me he would and we sat and started to watch the film. The first part wasn't too bad, it dealt with a couple meeting, then skipping to a later stage when they started to kiss and pet each other, then going that bit further where they touched and played with each other, now both naked. I stopped the tape and asked James if he was ok with what he had seen up to now.
"I guess so mom" he said, but when he touched her...her", then he pointed at my tits, "what should I call them mom, breasts or tits?"
I told him that people used both words, "You call them what you want James, whatever makes you feel comfortable"
"Ok mom, well when he touched her tits, should he be gentle with them, I mean would it hurt if he squeezed them too hard? I explained that women liked to be treated gently, that it wasn't nice to do things to them that they didn't like.
"are tits soft mom? I have often wondered what it would be like to touch one, can I feel your tits mom?" I had expected this.
I was prepared, "Ok James, go ahead" I told him, I slipped the straps from my shoulders and lowered the top of my dress, exposing my tits with their now hard nipples to my son, James reached out and cupped my tits in his hands, he gently squeezed them, then turned his attention to my hard nipples, tweaking them between his fingers, making them grow harder and bigger. "Your tits feel nice mom, very soft, smooth." I told him that girls liked to have their nipples sucked and if he wanted to he could suck mine. he took my nipple in his mouth and sucked at them, first one, then the other, at the same time continuing to squeeze and play with my tits.
I knew I shouldn't have been but I was actually enjoying my son's attention to my tits, for someone who said he had never touched a girl's tits before he was doing a good job, I watched as he sucked at my nipples, "James, the last time you did this was when you were a baby and I used to feed you this way, you used to suck mommy's milk from my nipples." I lifted his head away from my tits, "That's enough for now" I told him. "Let's get back to the film." I didn't bother to cover my tits, there didn't seem to be any point. The girl in the film was now masturbating the guy, his dick was hard, she went down on him started to lick, kiss and then she sucked on his dick, taking it deep into her mouth.
I stopped the film and asked James what he understood of the bit we had just watched. He told me that he played with himself and asked me if it was wrong, I said "It is natural for boys your age to masturbate, girls do it as well." He then asked if I played with myself, I answered him truthfully, "Yes James, sometimes I do, when your dad was alive we had sex all the time, whenever we could, I loved your dad very much, I enjoyed having sex, I needed it so much and I have not had sex since, so when I feel the need I try to satisfy myself as best as I can."
"But how do girls do it?" he asked.
"I think we will get to that later" I told him. "Now, I think you should show me how you masturbate, that is if you want to" He stood up and took off his trousers, as he pulled down his shorts his dick sprung out, I thought he would be big but it surprised me, it was at least 7 inches long and quite big around, he sat next to me, his dick standing up straight.
"Did you masturbate dad?" he asked, I told him I did, "Will you do it to me?" I took hold of his dick, it started to twitch right away. I slowly wanked it, I didn't want him to cum so I only did it for a short time, James turned to me, "Mom, in the film the girl kissed and took the man's thing... I mean his dick in her mouth, would you do that to me?"
"Well ok James, I will, but only a little, alright?" I lowered my mouth to his dick and started to lick and kiss it, I licked from the base to the top and then took the tip into my mouth and gently sucked it a little, I thought that was enough and lifted my head, "Please, don't stop mom, Please do it some more, it feels so good, please mom" he pleaded. I wanted to make James happy so I went back down on him, this time taking it deeper into my mouth, sucking harder, as I sucked him I felt his hand on my tits, he started to pinch my nipples, it felt so good, then without warning it happened, he shot his spunk into my mouth while I was sucking on him, filling my mouth with his hot, sticky cum, I pulled away, spunk dribbling from my open mouth, his dick still oozing out his creamy cum,
"James, you shouldn't have done that, that shouldn't have happened" I told him, sensing I was not happy James told me he was sorry.
"Please mom, don't be angry, it happened so fast, I'm sorry mom" I sat back and wiped his cum from my face.
"I'm not angry darling, it's just that some girls don't like it if a man cum's in her mouth, you can tell when you are ready to cum and it is only right that you warn the person who is sucking on you" James sat there looking a bit sad. "Look, to show you I am not angry I'll do something special for you, something that you dad used to like me doing" I went back down on his dick which had only softened a little, it was still covered with his spunk, then I started to lick it, sucking it clean, taking my boy's cum into my mouth and swallowing it, it didn't take long to get him back hard again. I stopped sucking and sat back up, leaned over to him and kissed him, his tongue going deep into my mouth.
As we parted he said "Thanks mom, that was great, and I will always remember what you told me mom". We watched the next part of the video, as we did James cuddled in close to me, he slid his arm around my shoulders with his hand coming to rest over my tit, it seemed so natural. This section was of the guy going down on the girl, licking, sucking and playing with her cunt. Again I stopped the tape, James just sat there looking at me, not speaking, "A girl likes it when a man plays with her vagina James, it makes her feel good", James started to laugh.
"What's so funny" I asked, "Nothing mom, it's just hearing you say 'vagina', in the books I have read they call it a 'cunt' and a 'pussy'."
"Ok James, we will call it what you want, as I was saying, a girl feels good when a guy goes down on her and licks and plays with her cunt, there, is that better?"
"Yes mom, I like you saying dirty words, can I play with your cunt now mom?" I was getting in deeper all the time, I hadn't expected things to turn out this way, this was supposed to be about me explaining the facts of life to my son but things were getting out of hand, I had to decide how much further to let things go, as it was I had willingly let James feel, play with and suck on my tits, I had given him a blow job and sucked his cum from him, should I continue? I made the decision I would let him explore my cunt for a few minutes then I would call a halt to my sex lesson.
I told James to kneel on the floor in front of me, as he did he pulled his T shirt over his head, he was now naked, I stood up and stepped out of my dress, took hold of the waist band of my panties and slid them off, now I stood before him wearing just my stockings and suspender belt, I sat back down, as I did I opened my legs wide giving James a good view of my pussy, "What should I do mom? I'm not sure" I looked down at him, I watched him go up close to my pussy and smell it as I had before seen him smelling my dirty panties, he seemed to be fascinated by the musky, womanly odour my pussy was giving off.
"Well, you could start off by licking my pussy lips" I instructed, "Make them nice and wet, then you could, if you really wanted to, you could lick your tongue deep inside my cunt, maybe then slide a finger inside, just explore around and do what comes naturally, see what happens" I lay back and watched him as he followed my instructions, It felt so good when he started to lick at my pussy, sure he was clumsy and inexperienced but he soon got the hang of it, it didn't take long before he was darting his tongue deep into my now very wet and juicy cunt.
"Now, slide a finger into my cunt, like I told you" he did as I asked, his finger slid in easily.
"Is that ok mom" he asked, "am I doing it right?" I wanted to moan out loudly with the pleasure I was getting but didn't think it right, after all this was supposed to be for James's benefit, I shouldn't be getting pleasure through letting my son give me head!
"Yes" I replied, "You're doing fine" I groaned, "now, slide more fingers in, put in as many as you can and push them in and out" Again he did exactly as I instructed, my cunt was feeling stretched, I looked down and saw he had his whole hand buried into my cunt, my little boy was fisting my soaking wet cunt and I was taking it all. It was no good, as much as I tried not to I let out a big sigh, "Yes, that feels good" I told him, "Don't stop, don't stop, then it happened, I came, the first time in 6 years, my little boy had actually made his mom come, my body stiffened and shook, I gripped the cushions and let out a big scream, James thinking he had done something wrong pulled his hand out of my cunt and edged away looking guilty, getting my breath back I said "It's ok James, don't worry, its just that it made me feel so good what you were doing to me, you see James" I explained, "When you came just now and you shot your spunk out it made you feel good didn't it, well what you did to me made me feel the same way"
James looked relieved, "Does that mean I did it ok mom?" he asked.
"You were great James" I replied, "I think you know enough about sex now, don't you? I think we have done enough"
"But mom, we haven't finished yet, there's more, please don't stop now mom, I want you to teach me everything!"
My head was spinning, already I had let too much happen, "No James, we can't do anymore, it's not right, Mothers are not supposed to do such things with their sons, it's called Incest, we have already done enough, more than enough!"
"No one will know mom, how will anyone find out? Please mom, don't stop now, Please mom!" he begged. "Please mommy, can we watch the rest of the film?" I conceded, I gave in to my little boy "Ok James, we will watch the rest"
I started the tape for the final part, and we watched the couple fuck in a variety of different positions, when the tape ended I switched the machine off, "There, we have seen it all, now I think we should get dressed and call it a day"

In the end I found: > > gvim 1. "assigning $r->method" does not invoke any context. In this case, the context is "we are inside a hash". 2. A hash is a list. It's just a list which knows that its elements are "coupled" 2 by 2. As a consequence, inside a hash you are in list context. 3. In this list context, any method that is context-sensitive will return a list. If you want to force your method to return a scalar anyway, you have to use the scalar() function. Is that clear? If not, which part is not clear?

Ever since PlayStation Plus came to the PlayStation Vita back in November 2012, both Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush have been available for free. It was always known that they would be part of the Instant Game Collection for longer than a usual game, but the specific time frame was never nailed down.
Only 5-6 months left top pick these up! Man, I need to grab them soon! Is it because there are no other big Vita games to replace them with? I mean... last week's free game for NA was Foosball 2012.... for both PS3 and Vita. That's weak.
Seriously, everyone freaking play Gravity Rush right now. One of the best games on Vita, hands-down (second only to Persona 4 Golden).
and the tilt controls killed GR for me. I honestly just don't get the buzz about this game. I got it on release day and thought it was crap. the story and whatnot are ok, but the gameplay is weak. and the side missions are frustrating. maybe im doing it wrong. but gr is far from my fav vita game and I have bought just about every available vita game.

Obama Shows Testy Side at Health Care Summit
Of all the hats President Obama tried on at Thursday's seven-and-a-half-hour health care summit, it appeared the one he was most comfortable wearing was that of the prickly professor.
In between playing the roles of moderator and deal-maker, the president took several opportunities to dress down his classroom of Republican critics. Through a series of awkward clashes between him and the Republicans, the summit may have served more to portray Republicans as intransigents intent on stonewalling a bill no matter what, than it served to pave the way for a compromise.
Democrats hit that message in the aftermath.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that the summit made clear Republicans "were accepting of the status quo."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Obama "the most patient man in the world" for putting up with the day-long session.
While Democrats said the White House and Congress may incorporate GOP ideas in their health care package in light of the summit, there were few signs that any Republican minds were changed. Hours of debate with the president appeared to leave GOP participants embittered.
Most memorable was a brief argument between Obama and Sen. John McCain, his Republican rival in the 2008 presidential campaign. Obama scolded McCain after the Arizona senator spent several minutes complaining that the health reform process has not been transparent and suggesting that the "change" they both campaigned on has not been realized in Washington.
"Let me just make this point, John, because we're not campaigning anymore," Obama said. "The election's over."
McCain said he was well aware of that fact.
Asked about the exchange Friday, McCain told Fox News he doesn't think the president meant any disrespect, but he suggested Obama was intentionally trying to avoid the issue of transparency.
"I think the president of the United States was probably trying to in a way not directly respond to what clearly was a campaign promise," McCain said. "But I wasn't talking about the campaign -- what I was talking about is the sleazy deals ... that went on in this process."
Obama also gave House Minority Whip Eric Cantor a stern talking-to when he noticed that the Virginia Republican had stacked the more than 2,000-page bill in front of him while he griped that patients would not be able to maintain the same level of coverage under the Democrats' plan.
Obama briefly addressed the coverage point and then turned to the stacked health care bill.
"You know, when we do props like this, you stack it up and you repeat 2,400 pages, et cetera -- the truth of the matter is that health care is very complicated. And we can try to pretend that it's not, but it is," Obama said. "These are the kind of political things we do that prevent us from actually having a conversation."
The president again had choice words for Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., after the senator said individual premiums will rise if the Senate bill passes.
Alexander was correct insofar as the Congressional Budget Office estimates individual policy premiums would be 10 to 13 percent higher by 2016 than premiums under current policy. But his comments ignored the fact that subsidies would be available to defray the increases.
The president, however, told Alexander he was flat-out wrong -- that his claim was "not factually accurate."
He noted that family coverage would go down in price. For those premiums that rise, Obama clarified, they would be for "better coverage" than the "bad insurance" people currently have.
The president also laid down the law when he explained that he spoke longer than everyone else "because I'm the president," and when he concluded that if Republicans won't join him, then "we've got to go ahead."
While Republicans walked out saying they had not been won over, Obama's Democratic colleagues praised him for holding the summit -- and for enduring it.
"The most patient man in the world is Barack Obama," Reid said. "He sat through that and listened to everything and was so patient and responsive. It was a issue-oriented meeting. The president let everybody talk and talk and talk."

Delicious hobo stew recipe
A delicious hobo stew recipe with a little bit of everything thrown in the pot
This recipe takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, but it is a good recipe that will feed a lot of people and warms up easily.
Hobo Meatball Stew
Hobo Stew & Dumplings
Ho Ho Hobo Soup
"Years ago, a group of friends decided to cook a holiday meal using a thrift store cookbook, Feasts for Fests (1931), which struck us as a perfect lark, until we actually began reading the cookbook," recalls Gold. "Almost everything was designed for when the cornucopia had run dry. I remember 'Leftover Food With Rice' and 'Leftover Food Stuffed Into Green Peppers,' which depressed us. And thena few hours and cocktails laterit occurred to us that this is what all those holiday TV specials are about. So, recklessly, to an extent none of us would admit when sober, we counted our blessings." Years later, Gold is still making the soup. He loves to cook and says he and wife Alice Sebold (The Lovely Bones) periodically entertain at home. "I generally do the cooking. There haven't been any fatalities so far."

Final Fridays with Cousin Mars – The Truth Behind Diamond Engagement Rings
Ladies (and fellas because I know some of y'all are reading too), do you remember your initial reaction to hearing Beyonce's Put a Ring On It song? We all know one of the first things asked after a woman says she is engaged is "Let me see the ring!" How many people do you know have very little knowledge of precious gems, but can tell you exactly what the Four Cs references? Have you ever wondered why there is an expectation (by most though not all) that a diamond accompanies a proposal? Well, this Final Friday post aims to share a jewel about one of your favorite jewels – DIAMONDS. If you have ever thought why society has come to expect a diamond to accompany a proposal I'm about to share just how and when this tradition began.
You Oughta Know: Studio of Ptah Jewelers
I often hear folks complain about the homogenous aesthetic of engagement rings and wedding bands. If you're one of those people that like to think out the box — or your significant other is — then put Studio of Ptah on your radar now. The brand is a fave of trendsetters like Erykah Badu and is filled with African inspired yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and silver pieces. Take a look at the engagement rings and wedding bands and notice the incorporation of the ankh throughout the collections. Asian and Native American cultures are often used as inspiration for these custom pieces as well.

Item Description
Brick's 1980 album Waiting On You - Expanded with 2 Bonus Tracks.
Re-Mastered from the Original Tapes by Mark Wilder - Battery Studios, NY
After setting the funk world on fire with 1976's Good High and 1977's Brick, the Atlanta-based Brick seemed to be running out of steam on 1979's competent but unremarkable Stoneheart. Gratefully, Brick's fourth album, Waiting on You, was an improvement.
Fans who found Stoneheart to be uneven and mildly disappointing were pleased to discover that Brick is more inspired and focused on this 1980 LP. Without question, Brick sounds rejuvenated on energetic, infectious funk smokers like "Free," "Get Started," "Sweet Lips," and "Push, Push." And the band is equally appealing on the romantic soul ballad "Let Me Make You Happy."
As much as Waiting on You has going for it, the record isn't quite as strong as Good High or Brick, both of which are classics. But it's certainly superior to Stoneheart, and it demonstrated that Brick was still quite capable of being exciting.

Holiday packages were selling like hot cakes at the Travel Expo in Johannesburg last weekend . Now in it's sixth year, 120 exhibitors from top airlines and travel agencies saw interacted with more than 20 000 who visited the Ticketpro Dome in search of the perfect destination.
The MD of Flight Centre Andrew Stark said he was very happy with the turnout.
"We are now six years in the running and I think the expo has become synonymous with joburgers like boerewors in South Africa,"Stark said.
More than three hundred people rushed in a few minutes after the doors were opened for the two day exhibition.
Last year they had over 18 000 people attending the expo. The number grew to over 20 000 last weekend.
India, Clubmed and GAdventure were among the exhibitor with big stands that attracted curious globe trotters.
Southern Africa destinations like Victoria Falls, Zanzibar, Namibia and Mozambique are still hot flavors.
Destinations like Thailand were going for as low as R9400 for 7 nights. Bali was went for under R 10 000 while and all inclusive to Mauritius went for under R10 000.
" Bali and Zanzibar were the hot favourites because they are fairly new to the South African market."
From East Africa, Nairobi Kenya is fast becoming an enticing destination for corporate travellers.
"Kenya is picking up as a business hub. Nigeria used to be a flavour of the conversation 10 years ago but these days I am hearing more of Nairobi," Stark reiterated.
The father of three has been to over 39 destinations but he still vouches by Mauritius for a good family holiday.
"For December I prefer staying locally but I am a big fan of Mauritius because I have three kids. Mauritius is easy. You don't have to drive anywhere. You have got a beautiful beach and childminders. It's also not far to travel with kids," he added.
Skiing also seemed to be quite popular for older couples with no young kids.

I'm headed down to chinatown tonight and looking for some good cheap eat spots. Both my go to places have been closed (chinese food court and grand chau chow.) Since their closings I've been kinda lost on where to go for good food down there. I love noodles, spicy stuff, beef, porkand chicken.

Our movers will be here on wednesday! I wont be able to write in a little bit, since it will be a long drive from GA to WA. Hopefully we'll get internet set up at our house within a week or so when we arrive.
I packed my sewing machines yesterday, so I concentrated on some art for a change today. I did a demo on some lithography plates last week, and got inspired to make a set of three little "hut" prints. (You can see the video on my art blog http://www.mirka-h.blogspot.com/)
While I was drawing the prints, I would think back to my childhood. Building little huts was one of my favorite activities growing up. Even when the other kids would come and break our hut down, we would always build a new one trying to make innovations as we scavenged for supplies.
I think after our move, I will put a couple of prints on Etsy to see if there is any interest.

BRUSSELS -- A simple, three-gene test robustly distinguishes breast cancer subtypes at the individual patient level, researchers reported here.
The SCMGENE model included only the estrogen receptor gene ESR1, the HER2 receptor gene ERBB2, and the proliferation gene AURKA, explained Benjamin Haibe-Kains, PhD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
But adding expression of more genes using the same Subtype Classification Model (SCM) approach increased the robustness in a study his group presented at the IMPAKT Breast Cancer Conference.
Models of this type were more reliable (P<0.001) and more consistent with clinical parameters than models of the Single Sample Predictor (SSP) type, they found.
Clifford A. Hudis, MD, of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and chair of the session, called the results important, given the many competing technologies and approaches jockeying for a role in the division of breast cancer into subsets.
Oncologists have yet to commit to a single technology, or even a single classification scheme in this regard, he noted.
But this may be moot at the moment, since there are still just three broad types of therapy for breast cancer and no reliable evidence upon which to base risk-benefit decisions in individual breast cancer subtypes, Hudis added.
"Our reach is exceeding our grasp here," he said in an interview. "We can subdivide breast cancer right now and even prognosticate to a pretty fine degree, but it's far more than we can respond to clinically."
Nevertheless, that day is coming, he speculated. "Someday it's going to matter that we can classify very finely, and that robustness question is going to be important."
Because it was a question that hadn't been asked in a trial, Haibe-Kains' group ran gene expression profiles of 4,607 patients from 32 publicly-available data sets through six different models:
- Three published SSP versions (SSP2003 with 500 genes, SSP2006 with 306 genes, and PAM50 with 50 genes), which rely on sets of "intrinsic" genes
- Two published SCM models (SCMOD1 with 726 genes and SCMOD2 with 663 genes) that use a "fuzzy computational approach"
- Their own three-gene SCMGENE model
The SCMOD2 performed best in determining molecular subtypes that correlated with traditional clinical variables, including ER and HER2 status determined by FISH and immunohistochemistry, tumor size and histological grade, and age at diagnosis.
In comparison, the other two SCM versions more consistently identified the same tumor as the same type across classification models than did the SSP models.
Haibe-Kains called the concordance between SCM versions "strong" but between the SSPs "substantial."
All the models had good concordance in identifying tumor subtype as basal (estrogen receptor [ER]-negative, HER2-negative).
But tumors in the HER2+ subtype were only consistently identified by the SCM models.
Concordance for luminal A (ER+) and luminal B (ER-) depended more on the specific model than whether it was SCM or SSP, Haibe-Kains said.
Notably, the SSP models identified only a few normal-type tumors, which the SCM classified predominantly as luminal A.
In a cohort of 1,400 untreated, node-negative breast tumors, all the models except SSP2006 produced similar survival curves.
Robustness -- defined as ability to assign the same tumors to the same subtypes whatever the gene expression data used to fit them -- was significantly greater for the SCMS than SSPs.
This held whether investigators were considering just the main subtypes (basal, HER2+, and luminal) or distinguishing between additional luminal subtypes.
Together these findings suggest that SCM-type models are most promising for translation into the clinic, Haibe-Kains said at the session.
Study discussant Fabrice Andre, MD, of the Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif, France, called the robustness and concordance of the three-gene SCMGENE model "acceptable," making it possibly the optimal approach.
Haibe-Kains noted that this technology is quite challenging and may take a few years for validation and feasibility studies, followed by development into a commercial assay chip.
The researchers reported no conflicts of interest.
Andre and Hudis reported no conflicts of interest.

Since I never really tried a programmed opponent before, I decided to take the first scenario, Hill Line Defence, but have both sides programmed. Just to see what would happen. I also decided to use our own ACW rules in 28mm.
The lay-out of the table (each third section rolled for) is shown below - although the photograph is taken near the end of the game. The attackers have to capture the hill in the North.
|Attacker in front, hill to be captured near the other end of the table.
Next step, to roll for attacker's plan. This resulted in a deployment of most units on the left flank. Also, the light troops and those not in the main attack (middle and right) would just hold the initial line.
As for the defender, I rolled 4 infantry units, 2 light infantry, 2 cavalry, and 1 artillery. I added two generals, both of them were Deliberate - hence the 8 command rating. The deployment resulted in 50% of the troops in the centre, 15% on the left flank, 35% on the right flank. I translated this as well as I could to the troop numbers available. I placed the artillery on the centre crossroads, and a light unit holding the farm. One cavalry unit was a mandatory reserve in the centre.
The plan was to be content to hold the hill or parts thereof at the end of the wargaming day, provided the forces are still united at that location.
So, the game started. The plan for the attacker was pretty straightforward: attack with all units on the left towards the enemy's right. The defender would just fire back at the approaching attacker. A first response roll happened when the cavalry units charged up the hill. The response generated was that the other flank (defender's left) was to be denuded to contain the attack. After a few more rounds of shooting and melee the fight was more or less over, in favour of the attacker.
|Solid arrows indicate major troop movements, hollow arrows major fire actions.
Great fun! Up to scenario 2 - Broken Ground!

Five For One
Here is something quick for you to think about tonight before you go to bed. My husband and I are seeing a new therapist, and here is something we learned last week: For every stupid/thoughtless/hurtful/mean/shitty/bad thing you do/say to your spouse, it takes five thoughtful/caring/supportive/awesome things to undo and cancel that one dumb thing out. …Read More

From his turns in early Justin Tanner plays to his long-running role on the television sitcom, "3rd Rock from the Sun," French Stewart has established himself as an immediately recognizable character actor, with "tired" and true tics -- knowing squint, twee hand gestures -- that have become synonymous with his persona.
Now forget any preconceptions you may have had about this actor. In "Stoneface: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Buster Keaton," in its world premiere at Sacred Fools, Stewart has left his bag of tricks behind the stage door. In the eponymous central role, he displays a comical gravitas entirely fitting to his subject, combined with sheer physical virtuosity that is, quite simply, a revelation.
The play was written especially for Stewart by his wife, Vanessa Claire Stewart (nee Smith), co-creator and star of "Louis and Keely Live at the Sahara," which also premiered at Sacred Fools before going on to extended runs at larger venues -- as indeed, one suspects, could be the trajectory of this current production. Inspired collaborators, the playwright and her director Jaime Robledo imbue what could have been a standard bio-play with remarkable inventiveness and style.
Supported by a virtuosic design team, Robledo delivers a staging best described as surreally creative, complete with Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions and live silent film "clips," with titles on an upstage screen. The performers, buoyed by music director Ryan Johnson's live period piano music, all possess the spot-on timing of seasoned vaudevillians.

I'm in the kitchen this morning, getting ready for a coast trip kicking off on Thursday. We're heading down to Brookings to celebrate Andy's grandma Jean's 80th birthday, but since it is so far from Portland we're going to break it up into two trips. I somehow secured a very sweet last-minute beachside camping spot in Charleston, so we'll camp on Thursday night and finish the trip on Friday.
We're also going to stop at Kookoolan Farms in Yamhill to pick up some milk for the weekend - we don't want to have to go all the way out to Eagle Creek and then back the other direction to the coast....so we'll make a stop along the way to a new and exciting place! We're so addicted.
My activities this morning included :
Getting lentils soaked for Kimi's Simple Lentil Salad
Soaking spelt flour for Kimi's Spiced Blueberry Coconut Muffins
Mixed up a new sourdough starter, very sadly mine died a while ago.
Soaking chicken livers in spiced rum for Chicken Liver Pâté.
Booking a place to stay in Cambridge. Should we stay near Christ's Pieces or by Butt Green?
In all this self-imposed busy-ness, I also really miss my little sister today.

The role and performance of regulating agencies like OGRA
OGRA is in news these days. Its parent ministry MPNR is criticizing it in public and other senior parliamentary leaders from the ruling party have led onslaught on it. Earlier OGRA chairman came into limelight when public heard of its board members being fired by the latter. Is it a personality syndrome or conflict and infighting or there is something more germane into it. ? What is the role of OGRA and for that matter any regulatory agency of this kind. What role it has been given and what role it could have carved out itself by creative maneuvering and internal negotiations with its main stake-holder which is the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources itself. Its counterpart NEPRA has been more successful in having a working relationship with its parent ministry.
First of all, a regulatory agency may be associated administratively with a ministry, but for all practical purposes it is independent. However, its independence may be circumscribed by the statutes and the rules that are usually made by the Ministry itself. Sometimes the issues are multi sectoral and multi-ministerial and are thus to be handled by the PM himself and his Cabinet Division. It is through the statutes that ministries can control or dictate their way and policies and not through administrative orders. Regulatory agencies can strengthen themselves by bringing in public discussions and hearings and oversight and making it more effective and integrated with their processes. Public consultation process may at times be overbearing and impeding speed and convenience in decision-making , but it is worthy enough to be welcome and built into the decision making process. It is perhaps the only defence and support the regulators have to fall back upon in performing their function.
As to the regulatory agency's independence, it can vary greatly from country to country and its relevant legislation and from sector to sector. The most powerful regulatory agency in a country is normally the Central Bank or State Bank as we call it here in this country. Obviously, it is much less independent than its
It has been alleged that OGRA has not been able to perform its function. The latest case that is cited of is the unduly rising prices of LPG. A broader criticism, and perhaps legitimate, is that it has not been able to carve out space for itself. Space is granted by the legislation and statute but the statutes themselves are influenced by the lobbying and input of the regulatory agency itself. In
Now coming to the two specific charges on OGRA; LPG prices and the charge that OCAC performed better. LPG is a fuel for the poor. Its prices have been going higher and higher, whether it is justified on some grounds, is a separate discussion. The real policy issue is that LPG has been kept out of the regulatory process and thus it is beyond OGRA's purview. The culprit is the classical phony and naïve argument of freeing the pricing and the misconception that opening up prices leads to market efficiency and would ultimately lower the price. There are several reasons that these ideologies do not work in societies like ours, for the following reasons:
1) We are always supply scarce countries. Only population and demand is abundant .Supply is usually restricted by a germane shortage of capital. Price signals are not strong enough to attract foreign and local capital. There are other factors such as political instability and the law and order whish over-ride economic factors and signals.
2) The regulatory and legislative processes are weak. Consumer is poorly represented in the power structure. Producer is powerful and integrated into the power structure.
3) Anti-competition and price collusion behavior is rampant and generally well entrenched. Competition protection legislation is weak, ineffective and perpetually sabotaged as we have been observing in the case of Competition Commission of Pakistan.
4) We can not wait for the ultimate rationalization and resource allocative process to show its promised results. It may never happen or may be too little too late. Our consumer is poor. One-third of our people lives in abject poverty and cannot get the minimum nutritional requirement. And others are only marginally and slightly better off except for a very thin minority.
Thus the price unfreezing and letting it to be decided by the market and in fact by the producers does not seem to be working and resulting into lower prices. Price decontrol of such things as energy and LPG is a fools' paradise. It should be shun at the first opportunity indeed immediately. Only when price decontrol is lifted by the ministry of petroleum, OGRA cannot do any thing in this respect. People can do it in the long run, but they rise only occasionally and randomly and such processes are only disruptive, as there is ample history to suggest.
Now coming to the case of oil pricing, it is alleged that OCAC (Oil Companies Advisory Committees) has performed and could perform better than OGRA. I have no mandate or axe to grind with OGRA to defend its performance. As for OCAC, there could not have been a more shameless and disgusting name for an entity that is to set prices; a producers club setting prices for consumers with the support of the ministry. This may have been valid in military oligarchies of the past but it is very disturbing to find support for this coming from the ministry of petroleum .Oil prices used to be set on a cost-plus basis earlier and supported an essential but basically inefficient oil industry which made huge profits in the past. Now that the more saner policy of oil pricing based on landed price parity with imports , the oil industry is crumbling .It would need support like many other inefficient but essential entities. OGRA's' job today is implementing a formula, calculate the price and publish it. There are many ifs and buts in it, which OGRA should have made a practice of discussing in broad day light in public hearings than adjudicating on these quietly and slipping into the pricing system. No wonder it has not managed to attract a lot of respect from the stake-holders and the public.
