Watch: Adam Jones gets standing ovation from Red Sox fans at Fenway Park
On Monday night, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones said that a Boston Red Sox fan yelled a racial slur at him and threw a bag of peanuts while he was on the field.
"I heard the N-word," Jones after the Orioles' 5-2 win over the Red Sox on Monday night. "It was not clever. It was stupid and ignorant."
On Tuesday evening, Jones approached the plate in the top of the first inning and received a standing ovation from some fans as Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale stepped off the mound during the acknowledgement.
Red Sox principal owner John Henry met with Jones on Tuesday to issue an apology. The Red Sox publicly issued a statement about the incident saying, "No player should have an object thrown at him on the playing field, nor be subjected to any kind of racism at Fenway Park."
Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred called it "inexcusable behavior" and that he was communicating with the Red Sox to make it a family-friendly environment.
Fans' abuse of Adam Jones a big problem for MLB

Legislation to update data protection law - already running to more than 300 pages - is set to grow substantially as the enabling bill enters the home straight in its passage through Parliament.
The Data Protection Bill, introduced in the Lords, is now awaiting a date for its report stage in the Commons. It will 'Brexit-proof' the EU General Data Protection Regulation by implementing its provisions in UK law, and extend them in key areas such as national security and to unstructured records held by public authorities.
In theory, the Opposition backs the measure, one of only a handful granted parliamentary time during the passage of the core Brexit legislation. However, any ministerial hopes that the bill would go through on the nod have been disappointed.
A glance at the current proposed amendments gives a preview of the arguments still to be expected during the bill's final stages before becoming law.
Government amendments seek to block a loophole that emerged during the row over the alleged misuse of data by Cambridge Analytica. This will enable the Information Commissioner's Office to seek a court order requiring a person who has failed to comply with an information notice to provide the requisite information.
The amendments would also create an offence of destroying, or otherwise attempting to dispose of, conceal, block or (where relevant) falsify, such data.
Another new clause would help the Government track down members of the reserve forces by providing for HMRC to supply contact details of members of the ex-regular reserve force and former members of the armed forces, so that they may be contacted regarding their liability to be called out or recalled for service under the Reserved Forces Act 1996.
Meanwhile, veteran Labour backbencher Frank Field has proposed a clause which would require the sharing of data on individuals' eligibility for benefits, as well as the management of their claim, to registered third parties such as advice agencies. Such disclosure would not need the individual's consent.
On top of that, four senior Labour MPs, including Tom Watson and Liam Byrne, have introduced an amendment that a Bill of Data Rights in the Digital Environment be attached to the bill. The government, which sees this as part of a move to install the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in UK law, is not impressed, but in the current parliamentary climate, anything is possible.
The Government has one consolation: of all the EU's 28 members, only Austria, Belgium, Germany, Slovakia and Sweden have so far managed to pass legislation localising the GDPR, which takes direct effect from 25 May.

Saskatchewan Roughriders sign veteran middle linebacker Solomon Elimimian
May 10, 2019 by Toronto Star Leave a Comment
REGINA—Veteran linebacker Solomon Elimimian has a new home.
The six-foot-two, 225-pound Elimimian signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday. Elimimian spent his first nine CFL seasons with the B.C. Lions.
Elimimian has enjoyed a decorated CFL career thus far. He was the league's top rookie in 2010 and twice been named its outstanding defensive player (2014, '16). But in 2014 the 32-year-old became the first defensive player in the modern era to be named the CFL's top player.
The linebacker has been a CFL all-star four times, and in 2011 he helped B.C. win a Grey Cup title.
Elimimian, 32, has appeared in 118 career games, registering 745 tackles, eight interceptions and eight forced fumbles. He has recorded 100 or more tackles three times, including a CFL-record 144 in 2017.

Uppdate: Deep Purple performs in north Cyprus
Update: President Eroglu has invited
President Anastasiades to Deep Purple´s rock concert, which is scheduled to May 24 at the Near East University in Nicosia.
Eroglu said that he had invited the Greek Cypriot president during recent negotiations, but had not received a response. The president said he will invite Anastasiades back to the concert marking the 25th anniversary of the founding of the university.
Recently the band's singer, Ian Gillan wrote a statement on his own website "Caramba", in which he defends the band's decision to appear in Northern Cyprus from criticism from the Greek Cypriots. He said that the band does not take sides, and that Deep Purple has performed in many areas of conflict during their touring history.
"We've never been on one side or the other when it comes to performing music. I remember, during the Cold War, to hear about the visit to London of the Bolshoi Ballet and the best football teams from Moscow, even Cossack dancers, and many other cultural exchanges between the West and the Soviet Union. the diplomatic and cultural side was always open for art, entertainment and sports, no matter how scary and confronting the rest of it was, "said Gillan.
Besides concert invitation, President Eroglu said that he and his negotiators are aiming for a referendum to settle the dispute, in three months. "But Anastasiades think there will be a solution in 2015," he said. Peace talks started again in February after two-year hiatus.
Previously published: Deep Purple concert on
May 24 are included in the Near East University's 25th anniversary and is preparing to accommodate tens of thousands of fans who will flock to the concert. NEU say they build a park that covers 220,000 square meters to hold the event and the scene will be 1250 square meters. There are plans to construct a massive tent area and several food and drink stalls will be provided. 200 toilets will be built, and thousands of trees will be planted in the new park.
They added that the total cost of the University's new park and the concert is about 3 million TL (about £900,000).
In response to a question from the Turkish Cypriot newspaper Kibris Postasi, whether Greek Cypriots measures to stop the concert has been said, Murat Tuzunkan, NEU Secretary General: "In the time when peace negotiations are ongoing and we are all hoping for a solution, a rock concert , which is not a political event, should unite people. Music is a universal language and should not be regarded as a threat to anything. We invite everyone to participate. concert will be free for all who come from Cyprus. This concert can be seen as a confidence-building measure and gesture that shows that we can be united by the universal spirit of music. "
The university also announced that charter flights will be organized for all, from the rest of the world, if they want to come to the concert. Deep Purple will fly to Cyprus on NEU's private jet.
Ian Gillan, frontman for "Deep Purple" band will perform at the Near East University in Nicosia, May 24
After the inevitable buzz of the band's decision to secede in the unrecognized TRNC, Ian has written a letter on his own website "Caramba!" where he goes out and says he does not intend to take sides. He says the band has performed all over the world,
and he is not willing to choose sides in the Cyprus dispute. Ian explained that historically, the band has always firmly decided: "To perform everywhere we are invited, regardless of local problems / conflicts, wars, earthquakes, riots, typhoons, strikes, riots, gun–fire and so on."
Ian concluded: "And the same should apply to Cyprus, irrespective of the gap.
And I might add that in our past, many visits to Turkey and Greece have been fantastic. I personally have friends in both countries.

Hi there! I am a happy, healthy, pain-free, symptom-free FODMAPer, but it was not always that way. The following paragraph will give you an idea of who I am professionally. If you want to read my digestive saga and how I came to bring you FODMAP Everyday®, read on.
I am trained on the use of a low FODMAP diet for IBS by Monash University, having completed the Monash University 'Low FODMAP Diet for IBS' training. I am also accredited by FODMAP Friendly as a reputable and reliable FODMAP educator.
I also follow the diet myself and have since 2015, when it saved my life.
I've been in the food industry for over 30 years, first working in restaurants, the catering industry and owning my own bakery (with Robin) then onto newspaper writing (food focused), writing cookbooks and working as a Contributing Editor for Bon Appetit magazine for over a decade. During that time I also hosted three of my own public television series, sponsored by KitchenAid, had a monthly segment on CBS The Early Show as well as the syndicated Emmy-winning The Better Show, did tons of national television food segments on shows such as the TODAY Show, Dr. Oz, The View, QVC, HSN and others. In my free time (yes, that's a joke) I did recipe development for corporate clients such as Williams-Sonoma, Driscoll's and others and taught classes at colleges and privately. And for the majority of this time I was fighting a digestive issue that no one except close family new about.
I started eating gluten and dairy free in 1990 after seeking help from a gastroenterologist who had me try some elimination diets. I felt better, but not great. "You have IBS", he said. I took digestive enzymes. I carried prescription strength antispasmodic around in my bag – I was never without it – because if an episode struck my symptoms consisted of intensely painful intestinal spasms and bloating that would stop me cold. The pain would begin, I would bloat up and look 6 months pregnant and I would have to find a place to lie down horizontally, fast, to alleviate the pressure. And if this meant the dirty floor of a public bathroom, then that's what it had to be. The pain was that bad. Getting horizontal would take the pressure off of my gut and sometimes I could expel enough air by belching (lovely, I know) to gain enough comfort to get myself home. It could strike at any time. Yes, I was eating gluten-free and dairy-free because I had noticed that those aggravated me most of the time, but then again, on occasion I would eat a slice of pizza and I would be fine. It did seem weird but I was just trying to get by. A typical week saw 3 to 4 of these episodes for 25 years. It was not a great way to live, and in fact it was often debilitating, but I didn't know what else to do and neither did my doctors.
I had to leave parties and other social events. I had to miss work. I wore elastic waist pants pretty much all the time. When my kids were little they would come home from school and it wasn't unusual for Mommy to be in bed "not feeling well". They were used to seeing me "with a tummy ache" and the belching was so frequent, we had a family word for it – the burpies. As in, "Mom has the burpies". I was missing life.
And to tie this back into my professional world, you can imagine how this affected me. I love food and always have. I love developing recipes. I love smelling food, working with it and most of all tasting it. I continued to create recipes that I couldn't truly eat at the table. I would taste-test during recipe testing, and then I would serve the dish to everyone else. I didn't mope too much because the pain I would experience if I had eaten would have been so great that the temptation wasn't there. Well, not always anyway.
Fast forward to the spring of 2015. I ended up in the hospital 3 times during February and March with such excruciating pain that opiates weren't even touching it. Have you ever been in so much pain that you just want to die? That's where I was. I was telling my fiancé that I loved him and just wanted "to go" so that I wouldn't be in pain anymore. In between the waves of pain I was crying and talking to him about life in general. What was I going to do? If they couldn't stop this pain, then what? I couldn't keep working the way I had been, which meant I couldn't keep developing recipes and working with food the way I had for the full length of my career. What the hell was I going to do? "We'll figure something out," my then fiancé said. I couldn't imagine what that could be.
My pancreas was angry. Very angry. The doctors said the pancreatitis could be life threatening. On one day I had a really bad headache and they wouldn't even give me an Advil because they didn't even want me to sip water. I literally didn't eat or drink anything by mouth for five days. And guess what? My belly felt great! Once the acute pain subsided I felt weak, but I wasn't hurting in the way I was so used to feeling. And I was grateful. There I was, in a hospital bed for a full week with no food or water and I was actually thankful for not having my IBS symptoms.
Many tests were done including an upper endoscopy as well as an ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) to go down my throat and take a look at all the ducts around my liver and pancreas. The bad news is that they never definitively figured out why my pancreas went off the deep end. They said I needed to go to Boston to see specialists.
Meanwhile the gastroenterologist on call when I was admitted, Dr. Joseph Tassoni, told me that he didn't allow his patients to just be diagnosed with IBS. He said that meant there was something going on with their digestive system and he needed to know what was causing the symptoms. Sounded good to me. As I was lying in the hospital bed he told me that once I was stabilized that I should look into a new diet. "Let me write it down for you," he said. He handed a slip of paper with the acronym "FODMAP" on it. He went on to briefly describe what it was, which sounded a bit weird, but I was open to anything that might keep me from experiencing that pain again. He cautioned me that it was a new diet and that information out there was scarce and often times wrong. "Get the Monash University app," he said, "and just pay attention to their information".
At first I was stunned. I was a serious food person. I knew a lot about food and dietary approaches and all the trends. I knew what raw and paleo meant. I could easily whip up recipes to fit those profiles and others. I was educated and had access to health care. How was it that I had never heard of "FODMAP"?
What The Heck Are FODMAPs and Are They Worth $8?
So as I lay in the hospital bed I pulled out my iPhone and looked up the Monash information. The app cost almost $8. Up until then I had this thing where I never paid more than $1.99 for an app; it just irked me to pay more. I actually paused about making the purchase! But I made an exception and downloaded the app right then and there. Best. Decision. Ever!
As I lay there, hooked up to an IV, I felt my life change. As I read through the Monash app the first thing I noticed was that the approved foods – and the off limit foods – all seemed so random. Raspberries but no blackberries?
And then the light bulb went off. My symptoms always seemingly came on so randomly. What if my random and this random matched?! What if our puzzle pieces fit together? Was this diet the answer for me? The pain I had just come out of was something I never wanted to experience again. I had nothing to lose. For the first time in a very long time I felt excited about a food protocol. I decided that the first day I was released from the hospital would be my first day of a 30-day FODMAP Elimination diet. I decided right then and there to be strict and only eat the Green Light foods from the Monash app for 30 days – no exceptions!
I soon learned that I would be going home on a Friday and that they wanted me to eat something and have a bowel movement that morning before being released. I decided that would be Day 1 of my new regime. I told the nurses that Dr. Tassoni wanted me to try this diet. They said they would send someone to talk to me about what I could order from the kitchen. Well, that didn't go well! They wanted me to eat a mild diet and recommended things like chicken broth (onions and garlic) and toast (plain white or wheat, of course). I was waving the Monash app in their faces and trying to explain what I was trying to do and they had no idea what I was talking about, but I was determined. I think I ended up eating plain white rice, some plain tea and maybe there was part of a banana. I just wanted to get out of there so that I could do this right.
Even at this early stage of FODMAP awareness, I had an inkling that this could be life changing for me. And if it was, that it could also help millions of people all across the U.S. and the globe. I had been laying in that damn hospital bed for a week and in-between sleeping about 18 hours a day I poked around on my iPhone and it was very apparent to me that this FODMAP thing wasn't as organized or well understood as it could be. This is also when Kate Scarlata RDN came on my radar screen. Her messaging was clear and trustworthy. She was also in Massachusetts like me. I decided that if I stuck with the elimination diet for 30 days and that it was working for me that I would reach out to her about collaboration.
The entrepreneur in me kicked in. This might be my future, I mused. I could become the FODMAP recipe guru with Kate upholding the medical end…yes, I was dreaming, but something about it felt real.
I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and bought a bunch of Monash app approved foods – it was surprisingly easy! I just used the app to tell me which foods were Green Light and therefore Elimination Phase appropriate. I also intended to banish whatever was at home that was off limits. My fiancé said he was on board with whatever I needed to do. He didn't want to see me in such bad shape again either!
My recipe development brain kicked in. The more time I spent learning about what foods were Green Lighted the more I realized that there was a plethora of choices for a FODMAPer, even during the Elimination Phase.
If someone could create amazing meals with Elimination worthy ingredients, it was me and I wanted to spread the word. Next thing I knew I was whipping up roast chicken and vegetables, baked potatoes, kale salads, banana smoothies, hearty vegetable soup from scratch, blueberry oatmeal for breakfast, turkey cheese sandwiches for lunch, stir fries, salmon dishes, peanut butter cookies and the list goes on and on. Every night my fiancé would sit down to dinner, look at his plate and question, "this is FODMAP?" It became a joke. After several nights of this I told him that I would tell him when something wasn't FODMAP approved because this was the new regime and everything was going to be low FODMAP!
Needless to say this low FODMAP thing had piqued my interest big time. I was eating well and feeling fantastic. There was no sense of deprivation and for the first time in 25 years I felt like I could not only be friends with food, but that the world had opened up to possibilities.
So, true my word, almost 30 days into the Elimination phase I reached out to Kate Scarlata via email. I introduced myself as a seasoned recipe developer whose life had been changed with the low FODMAP diet – and that I thought the book that needed to be written hadn't been written yet and that we were the ones to do it. She agreed to an in-person meeting and we hit it off right away. A few months later and we were shopping our book proposal around for The Low FODMAP Diet Step by Step and several publishing houses wanted us! We were on our way.
Meanwhile, my intention was always to concurrently develop an online entity that would support my new way of eating. The idea for "FODMAP Everyday" came to me pretty early on. As I went through the Challenge Phase and came out the other side it became very apparent to me that most resources at the time, especially online, focused on Elimination and Challenge Phases but really didn't do a great job at helping one Integrate all of that information into one's life for the long haul. This shouldn't just be about the low FODMAP Elimination Phase – it is about your relationship to FODMAPs in your everyday life, hence FODMAP Everyday was born and our approach of Eliminate – Challenge – Integrate!
Early on in my brand concept development I reconnected with Robin and invited her to work with me 50/50. We had worked that way before and have always had this amazingly supportive connection. We have both overlapping and complementary skill sets and FODMAP Everyday is our baby – built just for you!
It is my sincere hope that many of you will find relief with the low FODMAP diet and that FODMAP Everyday becomes a supportive friend to you on your journey. We would love to hear your story! Use our Contact page and drop us a line!

A while ago I told you there would be changes to our MuddyWaterMinistry website and facebook. You have seen some changes but there are more to come. When I first got my Trust Me My Child book published, a children's book about a little girl playing in mud puddles, Muddy Water Ministries came to mind–and we weren't clear on what the Lord had in mind for us with publishing books, etc. It seemed that Muddy Water Ministries fit well for us.
So our website domain name is desiretoinspire.life (.com was already taken but we actually love .life even more) and we will be phasing out of Muddy Water Ministries. Our books remain the same but our hearts are continuing to be stretched and growing with desire to inspire others by our heartfelt stories and sharing snippets of our life. We hope you will be inspired and will want to walk along this journey of life with us.

Whew….now you can put on that suntan lotion, grab that novel you've been dying to read for the past nine months and relax by the kid's pool with a cold ice tea.
Your older kids need a summer job.
The younger ones are bored already.
There are two more months with teenagers collecting dust on your hammock by the pool with cell phones glued to their ears.
The younger ones expect you to be their slaves.
So much for that novel. Before you spike that iced tea, wish you had remembered to fill out that registration form for Camp Faraway and tell them to go find something to do for the umpteenth time, let me tell you a cautionary tale or two from my childhood summer vacations.
My friend and I rode our bicycles to his cousin's house one summer day. We quickly ran out of things to do. We thought it might be fun to climb over a barb wired fence, gather some rocks and chuck them at their muscle-bound, bull in the center of this huge field.
Of course safety was our #1 objective (wink-wink), so we didn't get too close. My friends first few throws fell far short of the target. They encouraged me to get just a little closer so I did. The rock I heaved hit the once docile animal square in the head. The enraged beast charged.
Being closest to the fence, the cousin was first to quickly climbed over. My best friend was ten yards in front of me and dove headfirst under the prickly wire. The earth shook from the approaching bull when I dove under the barb wired fence. As I stood to face the snorting bull, I noticed blood pouring out of two, four-inch long tears in my blue jeans. I still carry those scars as a reminder of my stupidity.
Another lazy summer day, while on a date with Karen at my parent's house, (she was fourteen and I was fifteen at the time) my cousin's family came to visit from Seattle. Not long after the introductions, things got a little awkward. That is until my cousins snuck their new bow and arrows out of their car.
We decided just looking at them was too lame. No, we had to try them out. Someone thought it would be a hoot for all of us to stand close to the shooter and scramble like mad, with our hands covering our heads while screaming like lunatics, as an arrow was shot straight up and disappeared into the sky. Fortunately know one became a human shish kabob and we all lived another day.
I tell these two stories to remind you that not all childhood activities, when left up to the imaginations of kids, are safe. We live in a different world than the one I grew up in during the '60s & early '70s. At the age of eleven I was riding my three-speed all over a six to seven mile radius without supervision. Most of my friends did the same. Many of the parents I know keep their children on a much shorter leash now.
In my next post, I'll share some ideas on how to build a legacy of stress free summer fun with your kids while still being able to read that novel in peace.
Please share some of your favorite ideas for enjoying the summer months with your kids or grandkids.
Also….please share about some of the misadventures and close calls you had while passing the time away during your childhood summer vacations.
Have you ever had, 'one of those days'? Well, yesterday was a 'one of those days' kind of day.
For the past four days, I've had computer issues which have kept me from blogging. Now in the world of technology, I'm a dinosaur among computer geeks. I despise calling for tech support. First I always have to pray that I get a person who speaks English as their first language. I have a hard enough time hearing as it is without having to translate as well. Next, I have to explain that I am a dinosaur and they will have to dumb down their vocabulary. Then when they still use language not understood in the Jurassic age I have to remind them, that while I may be on the endangered species list, I am not extinct.
So Monday after spending three hours on the phone with a geek, she threw up her hands and had me reset my computer to its original manufacturer's settings. Tuesday I woke up excited to write. My computer said, "Not so fast, buddy." Three more hours on the phone and another eleven hour reset.
Okay….so I won't be blogging today. I know; I'll put up those picture shelves Karen has wanted up forever and which I have been conveniently forgetting to do. As you know, my blogs are about encouraging people to use their gifts. Putting up level shelving is not my gift so I had been encouraging myself not to do it. I mean really, how hard can it be? After two hours, I had managed to make one wall in our bedroom resemble a giant slice of Swiss cheese. But I finally was able to maneuver the shelves around enough to cover most of the holes. Karen wanted two shelves up in the kitchen next but after six holes, she thanked me for trying and had me move a grandmother picture quilt over to cover the holes.
While Karen was vacuuming up the mountain of drywall dust on the bedroom floor I had created, she accidentally sucked up a sock I thought our dryer had eaten. We tried everything we could think of, short of performing a C-section on the vacuum hose, to get that sock out…. but to no avail. So we bought a 'not on the budget but it's an emergency cheapo vacuum' at Walmart.
To top off the day, I forgot to buy lettuce and tomatoes for the taco dinner Karen made. (Tacos without lettuce and tomatoes is like French fries without ketchup or tarter sauce). Then of course the Seattle Mariners lost again.
I was in a very sour mood when Karen suggested we pray. And so to continue with the allegory theme: Praying when in a sour mood is like going to church with a hangover; you know you need it but it doesn't feel right until you do it. So we prayed.
So did our prayers fix everything….no, but I woke up to birds chirping to the morning sun. If Karen moves a vase just a little to the right, it will cover up one of the holes. We can vacuum the floors once more. We aren't having tacos tonight so it doesn't matter that we don't have lettuce and tomatoes. Its another day for the Mariners and I am able to write this to you today.
Tell me when you had 'One Of Those Days' and what was the outcome.
As I wrote on my previous post, Karen and I had a fun with Logan, Maya and Brooklyn the other day. During a water balloon fight Jaymi came to pick up the kids to take them home. This picture collage portrays the sequence of events after Maya noticed her mother was turning into the driveway.
Out of all the memories I have of my grandparents, what do I recall with the most fondness?
As a child, each year could be described as a roller coaster with many ups and downs. The anticipation leading up to Christmas Eve was like the slow climb up the final, steep incline on that roller coaster. Just thinking about spending the next few days at both sets of grandparents playing with long-distance cousins, eating all the cookies, pie and candy I wanted, hoping for snow, and opening presents was almost more than I could handle.
The reality was that my siblings and I would end up fighting with our cousins, I always ended up with a stomach ache from eating too many sweets, it never snowed, and a few days after Christmas I was bored with my new presents. I know my grandparents put a lot of energy (and money) into making the holidays great but looking back I don't remember spending any alone time with them. They were too busy being good hosts, while taking care of everyone's needs, to play with me.
The same could be said about my grandparents organizing trips to the zoo, family reunions and birthday parties. While all these things were fun times with my grandparents, family photos are the only way I remember any details regarding those events; so what do I remember about my grandparents in which don't need old photographs to flood my mind with vivid details of emotions.
I remember my grandfather giving me his Swiss Army knife, pouring me a glass of Pepsi, and showing me how to whittle a car out of a block of wood so I could compete in the local Cub Scout's Pinewood Derby race. I remember taking my grandmother by the hand and leading her down into the basement I was too afraid to go to by myself. She would open up the mysterious closet door and pull out musty smelling books and games, which had belonged to my father and his brothers, and play with me for hours. I remember the smell of salt water and the sound of my grandparent's laughter as my grandfather had to hold onto my pant's belt so I wouldn't fall overboard as I struggled to reel in my first salmon.
Assemble our new barbeque which came with a million parts.
Go to the dentist for my broken filling.
Call Costco's concierge service over a computer glitz because I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to computer problems.
And figure out what I would write for my next blog post.
Instead of accomplishing anything on that list, except for a glorious trip to the dentist, we decided to invest the best gift you can give to your grandkids (or kids); the gift of our undivided attention. We played basketball, jumped rope, threw water balloons, built a fort, hurled magnetic darts at a felt baseball diamond, and engaged in a games of checkers and Blokus. And while I didn't get my afternoon nap, the youngest granddaughter did.
What are your favorite memories with your parents or grandparents? What can you do to make unforgettable memories with your loved ones?

Make it an "AMA"zing Day!!!
I was reminded of this journal entry from June of 2010. Had fun playing with Caleb & Jakey today. I look for the simple things in playing with them; like turning a lawnmower box into a boat. We ate popsicles in the boat and enjoyed the sunshine. Didn't think much about it until our neighbor drove by–I don't think they could see Caleb or Jakey. Just this crazy "AMA" sitting in a lawnmower box in my driveway eating a popsicle! Oh well–who cares what the neighbors think!! Don't just have a good day! Have a Great Day and it might end up being "AMA"zing!!!

At the time of me writing this, 50 lives have been lost, 53 lives have been physically injured and too many lives will bare emotional scars over losing a son, a daughter, a friend or a lover at that gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida early Sunday morning at the hands of a killer. What a horrible tragedy! How could this have been prevented? Who or what is to blame? Was this another act of Jihad carried out by a Muslim extremist or a hate crime against the LGBT community? Do we need to have tougher gun laws or do we need to build more prisons and have tougher penalties for people who use guns in a crime? How can a loving, all-powerful God allow evil to exist? Why doesn't He intervene to prevent these bad things from happening?
These are the questions people around the country are asking themselves today. The first two questions will be figured out during the ongoing investigation conducted by the FBI and the local police. The following two questions are political footballs which will be punted all over the field leading up to the upcoming Presidential election. The final two questions though are questions Christians and non-Christians alike have grappled with since the beginning.
How do we respond during the darkest times in our lives? How do we respond when circumstances just don't go our way? Following Job's advise is not easy especially when tragic events unfold like the horror at the nightclub. What was Job's secret? God Himself said about Job that, "he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." To fear God is to know Him. Job had a relationship with God which drove him to acting in a way which pleased God. It is only by building a relationship with God (or with anyone) which allows trust to form and without trust, Job would have buckled under the weight of suffering he was enduring.
So how do we build that relationship with God? It's like with any relationship: We must spend time with the person we want to get to know better. And what would a relationship be without talking to one another? God communicates through His love letters to us….the Bible. We talk to Him with our prayers.
So get to know the Creator of the universe. He wants you to get to know Him. And pray for the many hurting souls in Orlando. God loves them all.
P.S. My wife, Karen wrote a fantastic little story about trusting God in her book Trust Me My Child. You can learn more about this book under the Our Books tab.

Is It Good? No, It's Great!!
Terry and I are blessed with nine grandchildren. Today is our grandson, Caleb's 9th birthday. He is the firstborn of five siblings in their family. There are many things I love about Caleb, but one thing that I especially love is his laughter. He is also a big tease–like his daddy. Since they live in Florida and we live in Washington, I cherish the time we have when we get together. When we are together, they love this AMA to make chocolate milkshakes. It's become a tradition. I ask the boys, if it's good and usually they say yes, but this one time, Caleb said, "No!" Then he smiled at me and said, "It's great"! His youngest brother, Joshie, thought that was pretty fun and said, "ask me, Ama, is it good?" I asked him, and he said "No"! Then smiled and said, it's great!" So now when I am on the telephone with my daughter, Katie, Joshie wants to talk with me every time. I love it! I ask him, if he's good and he says "I'M GREAT!" I hope you all not just have a good day, but a GREAT DAY!!

It's a fact: Opposites do attract. My wife and I are living proof of that.
Karen loves to talk while I prefer to listen.
She wants to take swing danc e lessons. I'd rather swing a golf club.
Sappy romance movies make her cry but I cry from boredom.
She craves spontaneity. I enjoy routine.
The outdoors energizes her but it only makes me sneeze.
Compromise doesn't have to be a four letter word (actually it's a 10 letter word). To make any good relationship work, there has to be give and take. Finding ways to embrace compromise is the key. For example: I love my wife to pieces and enjoy spending time with her but today Karen and I are going to a swap meet in Tulalip. Now a swap meet is a fancy way of saying a gigantic garage sale. Does putting gigantic in front of garage sale make it any more palatable to me? No, not really but you don't have to endure bee stings to enjoy your honey.
Men are born hunters; even for someone like me who loathes the idea of shooting Bambi's mother. Inside of me, and I bet most men, is the ancient instinct to hunt. Instead of blindly following Karen from one house to another, watching her shuffle through other peoples junk, I can turn this mind numbing experience into an adventure. If I harness this new mindset toward finding one thing in particular, I will transform myself. Instead of being the overweight, khaki wearing husband who sleep walks through a maze of children's clothes, cassette tapes, worn out furniture and grannies' knickknacks any husband can turn into Elmer Fudd on steroids, who will not stop hunting until he finds that one-of-a-kind Bugs Bunny stuffed animal his wife can't live without. As long as I have a goal in mind, I now enjoy the process of achieving that goal with my best friend. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'm like that fisherman who is skunked one day, goes back to camp, changes his bait and tries a different location the next day.
So make your wife's life (and yours) a lot happier. Embrace your differences by being creative in the manner in which you tackle compromise. Now I have to go. I'm hunting for a heart shaped vase today.

Financial Domination And Consensual Blackmail: Why People Get Off On Extortion
Claire Fitzsimmons April 27, 2018 January 28, 2019 0
In today's world, everything can be turned into a kink. As society changes and horizons expand, our taboos do the same. The quaint in-n-out porn of yesteryear just isn't as potent as it used to be, so we find ourselves searching for new sexual frontiers in an effort to get off. We want higher highs. We want more.
As a personal and professional erotic connoisseur, I've made a career out of investigating what excites us and why. I love exploring new avenues for arousal and — even more — sharing my experiences and knowledge with others. However, in all that I have divulged, nothing to date has ever evoked as much disapproval as telling people that I engage in financial domination.
Nothing to date has ever evoked as much disapproval as telling people that I engage in financial domination.
Face-sitting? You're my hero!
Kicking dudes in the nuts? Okay… I guess.
But using capitalism directly and explicitly as a "sex thing?" Huh?
Financial domination, or "findom," as we call it in the biz, is a fetish activity where the dominant extracts, extorts, or demands capital in the form of large sums of money or gifts from a consenting submissive partner. For me, it is usually folded into some kind of humiliation, like enacting feelings of powerlessness, fear, and a deep loss of control — but it doesn't necessarily have to.
Go on Twitter and type in #findom, and you'll find scores of bratty young women flicking off a camera with thick fans of cash laid out before them. You'll likely also come across glamor queen @TheOnlyTheodora — who currently touts a devoted 15.5k following — churning out quality clips based around extorting money from her clients. According to Theodora, the reason money is such a powerful way to dominate straight men stems from the fact that "it is often the most tangible form of control." For every money mistress, findomme, money domme, "cash master", or "findom", there's a male submissive, money slave, pay-pig, human ATM, or cash piggie who can't wait to pay "tribute."
For every "findom", there's a male submissive, money slave, pay-pig, human ATM, or cash piggie who can't wait to pay "tribute."
In my seven years as a dominatrix, I've done all sorts of "cashpoint meets" (AKA where men meet me at a location to literally hand me money). Easiest is the human ATM scenario, where a man either gives me money straight out of his wallet or provides a card for my consistent use. There's also financial blackmail, where I research real life details in order to threaten and extort money. Psychodrama and the theater always play a major role in my domination practice. Findom just gives it a bold new form.
This past November, for example, I headed to San Francisco for a week-long consensual financial domination scene with one of my longtime clients. Geoffrey, a retired banker, had long been a patron of mine. In Geoffrey's case, financial domination was his final frontier. A long-time masochist who once got off on extreme punishment and humiliation, he now seeks a deeper kind of loss and a more psychological pain — one that directly affects something he cares about most: money. In addition to the financial domination portion, we agreed to partake in consensual blackmail, where I would procure information through research, intimidation, trickery, coercion, or persuasion.
In fact, this very article is part of the scene; Geoffrey paid generously to keep certain details of his life out of this story.
I prepared a dossier of information before my arrival, in an effort to put his life and livelihood on the brink of total upset. I recorded our private conversations and used the details against him. I laid out a plan to wreak havoc, and explained that he would have to defend his integrity through a series of costly obstacles intentionally put in his path to confuse and bewilder him.
Upon arrival, I asked how his wife was, by name. He knew instantly that I knew more about him than he thought. I had him present a check for my incidentals, which — of course — gave me his bank account information. I threatened leaking information to his family if he didn't hand over a credit card for my use. A shopping spree was naturally in order.
But the question remains: why on earth would he agree to do this?
In my opinion, it all stems from the fact that capitalism and masculinity are deeply connected. A straight cis-man's worth is often tied to the idea of protecting and providing for his wife and family, and money has historically been a source of pride. If he can't provide, he fears he will be left behind, humiliated, and rejected.
Of course, this is not what we want to reinforce, but by turning these aspects of performative gender roles on their head — while addressing their psychological power and exploiting them through consensual kink — participants can truly learn more about themselves. In other words, findom says something significant about the society that we live in and the ways that we conflate money and power. That the former is a stand-in for the latter and can be used to elicit feelings of loss and humiliation when at the behest of a powerful woman.
As human beings, we are not unfamiliar with wanting to feel real fear via mediated experience. Haunted houses, escape rooms, scary movies, roller coasters — all are predicated on the "scary" experience being grounded in some kind of safety or trust in the operator, performer, or business. No one actually wants to be killed or trapped or hurled off a carnival ride, but sometimes we do want to feel the very edge of fear's blade against our neck. Financial domination is like a horror movie or roller coaster —it takes a consenting person's feelings to a place of fear and loss of control, while still maintaining trust and boundaries.
For now, men are still the financial powerbrokers of the world. But us Findommes? We're getting ours by exploiting that very dynamic. Time to pay up.

| Drive-By Truckers haul semi-Southern charm
Drive-By Truckers haul semi-Southern charm
12:00 am, Apr 21, 2006
Alt-Country is made up of the indie rockers who have figured out what country has known for ages — the power of a whiny slide guitar. The Drive-By Truckers are one of the bands that tend less toward alt and more toward country, stirring distinct memories of a pre-"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" Wilco. One could lump their straight drumbeats and distorted 1-4-5 progressions in with aviatored Southern rockers like Lynyrd Skynyrd, but their more off-beat lyrics and self-conscious instrumentation bring in some of that urban, Ryan Adams and Wilco cool.
Their recent release, "A Blessing and a Curse," leaves the listener with a feeling similar to the one they got from Lynyrd — one or two memorable songs in the midst of a solid and effective effort. "A Blessing and a Curse" doesn't aim too high, but knows what it is and does its job well.
The first 10 seconds of the album are nothing but bass drum, and when the distorted slide comes in, The Truckers have made their mission clear. "Feb 14" delivers its share of angst, but with those drums cooking it never tries to force that sentiment upon the listener. The song is a smooth arrangement (replete with barbed-wire solos) that you can slap on in the car as you leave her and never look back. Similarly, "Gravity's Gone" opens with just a hint of slowed-down grief that is reflected in the depressed lyrics, but the guitar riffs and the Southern baritone turn an emo weenie into a badass rambler in no time.
While Southern rock espouses a serious attitude about its consistent style, alt-country recognizes the hillbilly connotations its arrangements have with its hipster audience, and it works with the inherent fun behind that. Case in point — fans of the Will Ferrell prescription for a fever will be well placated on a couple of these tracks. "Aftermath USA" sounds like an homage to the Lynyrd classic "That Smell," but unlike "That Smell," "Aftermath USA" goes far enough over the top to become ridiculous fun instead of a grave moan. High-pitched and whimsical vocals serve to further distance the Truckers from more self-indulgent Southern rock. Similarly, "Wednesday" is nothing but driving excitement with smirking references to cat shit.
"A Blessing and a Curse" strays a bit farther from Southern rock than their previous works. The singer rasps less, and gone are simpler songs like "Buttholeville" and "Carl Perkin's Cadillac." The musical ideas and sentiments behind songs like "Wednesday" and "Aftermath USA" are more nuanced, and they seem to be moving toward Wilco's brand of country — playfully aware of its own stigma. It's still for the most part harder than Wilco, but indie rock influences are more prevalent on this album than 2005's "Gangstabilly." Ultimately, many of the tracks feel more appealing to the hipster market.
But this isn't to say that the Drive by Truckers don't love country music, and aren't making genuinely good music in its own right. "Little Bonnie" — a tribute to classic girl-death folk songs like "Little Sadie" and "Omie Wise" — features a haunting if traditional chord progression that successfully employs a classic bluegrass technique: simple, persistent and forceful arrangements against a mournful theme. The second half of the album tends to these slower tracks, and "Space City" is another undemanding acoustic folk song in the Shawn Mullins tradition. The Truckers break with alt country pedagogy with these songs. Even older Ryan Adams, such as the accomplished "Heartbreaker," never quite commits to such an unadorned and unashamed country sound. These songs are more akin to the Truckers' older, less self-referential works without sticking to the hard rock paradigm.
The song "A Blessing and a Curse" deserves mention as a successful blend of the first half of the albums rocking and the second half's respect for country. Featuring a first-class riff that just swings in and out of the song, "A Blessing and a Curse" finds a nice place between the positive energy of this riff with some of the earlier chord progressions and later Skynyrd-style screaming guitar with a creepy chorus. Evocative of its title, "A Blessing and a Curse" moves between aggressive chords, Wilco-esque vocals and morphing undertones to bring a simultaneous feeling of hope and despair.
The album plays with this idea of fun versus grave and genuine Southern rock versus self-conscious indie rock. More importantly, no matter which one of these concepts is prevalent, the songs are all accessible, straightforward and unpretentious. "A Blessing and a Curse" is not particularly distinguished, but it has some great moments, never lags and never fails to please.

Once a person has written a trust, they are left with a rather long document. Trusts can range from a few pages to forty pages or more. Given the burden of lugging around a burdensome document, California law allows for a person to create a certification of trust to provide third-parties in lieu of providing the trust document itself.
(1) The existence of the trust and date of execution of the trust instrument.
(2) The identity of the settlor or settlors and the currently acting trustee or trustees of the trust.
(3) The powers of the trustee.
(4) The revocability or irrevocability of the trust and the identity of any person holding any power to revoke the trust.
(5) When there are multiple trustees, the signature authority of the trustees, indicating whether all, or less than all, of the currently acting trustees are required to sign in order to exercise various powers of the trustee.
(6) The trust identification number, whether a social security number or an employer identification number.
(7) The manner in which title to trust assets should be taken.
There are two benefits of creating a certification of trust. First, it is much easier to carry around to due its shorter length than a trust. Second, the certification of trust maintains the trust's privacy as to distribution specifics, the most confidential part of the trust. One reason why people choose to write trusts is because of the privacy aspect. Generally speaking, a trust document will not become a public record as opposed to a will. A certification of trust ensures that the trust's privacy remains intact. In particular, the relevant part of the statute reads "The certification of trust shall not be required to contain the dispositive provisions of the trust which set forth the distribution of the trust estate." Prob C § 18100.5(d).
It is standard practice for an attorney to write a certification of trust for the client along with the trust. This is not particularly difficult for the attorney because the trust contains the required contents of the certification of trust.
If a third-party refuses in bad faith to honor the certification of trust, they may be liable for damages and attorneys fees. Prob C §18100.5(h). Thus, the law has teeth to it to deter a third-party from being overly demanding by insisting on seeing the trust document instead of the certification of trust.

So I've come to the end of my INFJ Problems series, but I've decided to keep with the theme and explore some of the best and worst careers for INFJs. What better start than the INFJ writer. This post, from March, is what started me off on my exploration of INFJ problems and serves to be my introduction to my new series – A Very INFJ Career.
Every writer wants to be the best, right? The new Stephen King? The next JK Rowling? And if you're lucky enough to be one of the rarest of the Myers Briggs Personality Types, the INFJ you already know you've got the right amount of introversion, creativity and whimsy to make it as a writer. To be the best. And therein lies the difficulty. The INFJ who aspires to be 'The Best' will never, ever be happy until she attains it. Because that's what INFJ's do; take an unrealistic, unattainable goal and chase it down until they drown in a pit of self-loathing and despair.
This might sound harsh but it's coming from someone who should know; a resident INFJ writer currently in pursuit of being 'The Best'.
Let me explain why the INFJ makes the worst best writer.
The Judging INFJ would be insanely happy if the world made sense. If everything was perfect. That need for order, for perfection, is what the INFJ writer brings to her work. Near enough is never good enough. The INFJ will always be her harshest critic and often never actually finishes anything because it's not yet perfect. Part of the INFJ's desire for perfection comes from her love of order, but part of it is to do with those gooey feelings that underpin almost everything the INFJ does. Feelings that can be trampled on like precious daisies by that most dreaded thing; criticism.
Driven by an empathic outlook the INFJ is not only aware of everything, she also feels everything. Every serrated-edged word, every glance of an overblown stink-eye cuts right to the quick of the INFJ's core. As such, these unicorns are especially susceptible to criticism. Even when criticism might be relevant and offered only as helpful advice, the INFJ will feel it as a scathing attack on her very soul. This is usually because the concept being criticised is crystal clear to the INFJ and she's spent long hours agonising to make it 'just right'… to make it perfect in fact. To have someone come along and misinterpret or simply dislike her concept is nearly unfathomable, and definitely painful to the INFJ. As such, INFJ's will go out of their way to avoid being on the receiving end of criticism. This inevitably leads to procrastination.
"Today I'm going to write 10K words and get my eBook well and truly on the way." Three paragraphs later when the INFJ is still struggling over the right synonym for a word she thinks to herself, "maybe I should just update my blog first"… and she begins doing anything and everything to avoid getting that eBook written because guess what? It won't be perfect! There's nothing quite as painful as an unpolished draft to the INFJ writer, and it's a darned near impossible task to ask the INFJ not to edit as she goes. So to avoid the exposure of creating something imperfect, to avoid the inevitable criticism that may come if God forbid there's an error in her work, the INFJ procrastinates… usually to the point of anxiety.
The deadline looms ever closer. Or perhaps it's the intolerable situation the INFJ wants to flee (like an unfulfilling day-career) that can only be alleviated by getting her writing portfolio 'out there' that causes her anxiety. Whatever the symptom of the anxiety, the root cause is the same; she's anxious because she's procrastinated to avoid criticism on her imperfect piece of writing. If the anxiety doesn't push the INFJ writer to suicide by chocolate overdose then she will surely succumb to crippling depression.
She feels she's failed and the judging component of the INFJ simply abhors failure. She hasn't written anything. She's overcome with anxiety, and due to her almost supernatural intuition, the INFJ is aware of her faults where her writing is concerned, namely the perfectionism, sensitivity to criticism and procrastination. So the INFJ butterfly reverse cocoons and withdraws to a shadow of her glorious self; a slow, sluggish caterpillar of misery.
INFJs Everywhere, Do Not Despair!
These are the reasons why INFJs make the worst best writers, but a fellow INFJ is here to tell you not to despair! You don't need to be a worst best writer.
Ignore the voice telling you not to dare publish that blog because it's not perfect. Sucker punch that whisper telling you that you need to edit your manuscript for the eighty-fifth time. It's done.
Have faith in your own abilities and write, publish, repeat. Why? Because you're an INFJ… and that means you're pretty darned special and the world needs you unique, sparkly view of the world to be shared early and shared often.
Remember. You are the unicorn.
Do you know your 'type'? What kind of a writer would your type make? INFJs out there, what do you think? Are you a worst best writer? Like, Comment and Share!

Excellent post. I don't what kind of writer I am but I write because I enjoy it. I like to get my feelings out in poetry, and I enjoy being creative.
Thanks Eugenia; that's the best reason to write!
Exactly, we truly are our own worst enemy huh? Just gotta flow, and be willing not to know.
Ooo, a fellow INFJ?! Yay!
Truly, you are a treasure, and I'm glad I found you.
Lol this is such a good post- I've only met one fellow INFJ, and he's one of the few that understands "I need to leave the party early" or when I need a weekend to just write. I write because I love to get my stories out on paper. That's how I like to connect to people, since in everyday life it's very hard for me to make a genuine connection.
Spoken like a true infj! Nice to meet you Morgan!
I've never figured out whether I'm INFJ or not, but these symptoms/cases sure sound like they could fit me!
I wouldn't be surprised. There's s lot of us on WP!
Excellent. I really like this. I'm not an INFJ, I'm something I can't even remember now which sounded nothing like me, so maybe I answered the questions a bit too safely!
I'm thinking you could be an ESFP…. just based on our interactions and your posts. Not that I'm an expert by any means!!
Which, after reading it again , is quite a lot like me. Buuuuut….the words "diplomat" and "campaigner " really bother me.
Think I over- thought that one a bit!
Yah, he's a huge ,like, moron?
This is great advise Jess. We all can use it. I know I have to keep reminding myself to NOT listen to that inner critic. We are our own worst enemy when it comes to this kind of thing. Terrific post!
For me it's about allowing myself to NOT be the best. As I've said to you before, if I feel my writing today isn't going to be "perfect" I'll tend not to do it. Wrong! Gotta just write, write, write!
Bahahaha! Unicorn. No wonder I'm not INFJ. I'd totally rather be a werewolf. 😜 But this is a great post and I think that all personality types can connect to at least one of these problems. We're not all that different from other people whether we're introverts or extroverts, but I wish you…. The Best! 😁 You can do it!
