myLot Topics| Sparks Day At The Races | | Today I watched the Preakness - the second jewel in the Triple Crown Thoroughbred Horse Racing which began two weeks ago with the Kentucky Derby. Of course, my horse (Big Brown) won. But that's not what I want to talk about.
The Kentucky Derby is also known for it's Hat Parade. They are astoundingly huge, feathery and OBVIOUS! LOL This link will give you some great pictures of them:

At today's race the ladies were decked out in their finest once again in summer dresses and HUGE hats. Lovely.
During an interview I grew bored with the blah, blah, blah and began checking out the background of the shot. And what do I see, but a vision of beauty and grace and HAT, that so captured my attention I couldn't take my eyes off HER - the woman of my dreams, my projected self as I imagine myself to be, my soul mate, my.....well you get the picture.
This vision of vanilla and lemon souffle had smooth honey coloured skin - so lightly kissed by the sun, carmen red lips - luscious, a pale yellow spagetti strapped, Chinese silk dress cinched at the waist and rouched over the generous bust - so enticingly dipped at the cleft of the cleavage,... | |
| | India, China Will Reopen Direct Trade Links on Silk Road | | India, China Will Reopen Direct Trade Links on Silk RoadThe world’s two most populous countries India and China are working to set up their first direct trade link by reopening a section of the famed Silk Road, Indian officials said.
The point of contact is the 15,000-feet (4,545 meter) Nathu La pass on the border between India’s Sikkim and China’s Tibet where hundreds of Indian workers are repairing roads and building customs facilities, Sikkim government spokesman B.B. Gurung told.
As per plans, border trading is to begin from Oct. 2 with the reopening of the traditional Silk Road, Gurung said. Infrastructure development and construction of roads leading to Nathu La is going on at a brisk pace and everything should be complete before the deadline.
The trading post, 52 kilometers (33 miles) east of the Sikkim capital Gangtok, is the clearest sign yet of rapprochement between the two countries of their 4,000-kilometer (2,400-mile) border that stretches from Kashmir in the west to India’s far-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh.The initial trade is expected to be much the same as in the Silk Road days with Chinese silk, yak tails, and raw wool likely to hit Indian markets... | |
| | Sexual Ecstacy - One Pathway. Do you have any to share? Can you help advise? | | So the other day, I decided to take some advice from some mylot members and 'take control' of my sexual satisfaction. I did not exclude my husband, as he enjoys many forms of sexual fulfillment together and has expressed that he would also enjoy watching me, too. He'll take it however he can get it, so long as he gets it with me.I recall another mylot member saying, "a man would do it in a crowded bus full of nuns, if he could get away with it". (II2aTee)So amongst all the many responses from my last discussion, but particularly 2 of them, I got the thought to try out these new 'toys'. Now I will tell you that I smoked some MJ, recreationally, to relax, when we had some company over. But when it came to bedtime, after everyone had left........my mood turned into a sexual one, for whatever reason.So, on that note, I felt the need to connect to my husband and the best way to 'connect' with my husband is with sex. He loves sex. And he is just dying for me to 'take charge' as he has requested it many times.
I will say, It was mind blowing! Ooops, sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself here.So I have these new Stainless Steel Balls - Ben Waa Balls. They came in a small... | |

His neighborhood, however, happens to be the tight grid of streets that comprise this city's old Chinatown. In just a few months, Da Jia Hao has become a cult hit among Chinese-Thais from Bangkok's suburbs looking for a way to reconnect to their ancestry."It looks like being Chinese is cool," says Mr. Kitti, a 27-year-old ethnic Chinese, as he flips through mock-ups of his magazine's glossy new look.Mr. Kitti's readers aren't the only Asians taking a fresh look at their roots. Ethnic Chinese who have lived quietly for centuries among the islands and peninsulas of Southeast Asia also are warming to a culture... | |
| | Han Dynasty | | After a short civil war, a new dynasty, called Han (206 B.C.-A.D. 220), emerged with its capital at Chang'an ( ). The new empire retained much of the Qin administrative structure but retreated a bit from centralized rule by establishing vassal principalities in some areas for the sake of political convenience. The Han rulers modified some of the harsher aspects of the previous dynasty; Confucian ideals of government, out of favor during the Qin period, were adopted as the creed of the Han empire, and Confucian scholars gained prominent status as the core of the civil service. A civil service examination system also was initiated. Intellectual, literary, and artistic endeavors revived and flourished. The Han period produced China's most famous historian, Sima Qian (145-87 B.C.?), whose Shiji (Historical Records) provides a detailed chronicle from the time of a legendary Xia emperor to that of the Han emperor Wu Di (141-87 B.C.). Technological advances also marked this period. Two of the great Chinese inventions, paper and porcelain, date from Han times.Under the Han rulers, science and technology made remarkable strides; paper, the compass, and the seismograph were invented;... | |
| | Chinese hand embroidery | | Chinese Silk embroidery - Chinese painting art with needle and silk lines. When you first see Chinese Silk embroideries, you would take the embroidery pictures as oil paintings or photographs. They look so realistic that one can't but wonder how the embroidery pictures made. The silk embroidery pictures are entirely hand embroidered with silk lines on silk background. The embroidery artists use very fine silk lines, silk lines split 2 times, 3 times even 4 times for some detailed part. Among all the silk embroideries in China, the embroidery made by artists in Suzhou(also know as Su Embroidery) is widely considered as the best. This website www.suembroidery.com has much information on this silk embroidery from Suzhou, with history, introduction, images and purchase information online. Fine quality Chinese hand embroidery works are very expensive because it's very timie-consumin to make one fine quality emboridery, from several months to even several years. I don't know what other people think about this... | |
