Pickard leads Monsters to OT win over Charlotte
Calvin Pickard is getting hot for the Monsters just as talks to end the NHL lockout are heating up.
Perfect timing for the 20-year-old goalie picked by the Colorado Avalanche in the second round of the 2010 entry draft.
Pickard survived a first-period barrage of 15 shots on goal Thursday night and stopped 35 of 36 shots overall to lead Lake Erie past the Charlotte Checkers, 2-1, in overtime in Quicken Loans Arena.
Pickard pitched a shutout in his last start when he stopped all 17 shots in a 4-0 victory over Hamilton. The time before that, though, was a game the Winnipeg native would like to forget — a 7-6 road thumping by the Rochester Americans in overtime.
"It was nice to get into a rhythm," Pickard said. "Tonight I got some shots early. Things bounced my way. It's nice to get big saves and hear the crowd behind you. I kind of fed off it. It was nice to get the win."
Pickard had to come up big twice within about 15 seconds in the first period. First he made a right pad save and then snatched a flying puck with a quick glove.
Pickard did not have to stop a shot in overtime. That's because the only shot of the extra session was the game-winner at 1:52 on a deflection scored by Mike Sgarbossa while Lake Erie was on the power play.
Charlotte's Brett Bellemore was sent to the penalty box for slashing 1:38 into the five-minute overtime. The Monsters called a timeout and drew up a play that worked exactly as designed.
Tyson Barrie won the draw and passed the puck to Karl Stollery at the top of the right faceoff circle as Sgarbossa skated to the front of the net. Stollery's slapshot was a laser. Sgarbossa got his blade on the puck and re-directed it into the Charlotte net before Checkers goalie Dan Ellis could react.
"It was a planned play," Sgarbossa said. "Karl put it right where I could get a stick on it, and it happened to go in. We'll take that win." Continued...
David van der Gulik staked Pickard to a 1-0 lead at 19:06 of the first period.
Standing with his back to Ellis, van der Gulik got a rebound from a shot by Andrew Agozzino and swept it around Ellis' right leg. It was van der Gulik's 11th goal of the season.
Charlotte tied the game at 9:12 of the third during a 5-on-3 power play when Zach Boychuk blasted a shot from between the circles. The Monsters killed off the remaining 1:23 of the power play without further damage.
The Monsters (17-14-2-1) have won five straight at Quicken Loans Arena. Earlier this season they lost six of seven at home, including one shootout loss and one overtime loss.
"It's nice, particularly the way we started the season at home," Coach Dean Chynoweth said. "The season is long. There are games you play well and don't win and games you shouldn't win and you do win. The challenge for the group here is to get better in the second half."
Charlotte (18-12-1-3) has the best record in the AHL West. The Monsters and Checkers meet again at 7:30 tonight at the Q.

Working it out
This is something I honestly thought would never happen in a million years. A month ago you couldn't have convinced me that she would ever return. And in a very real sense, she hasn't. But- She has committed to working on this with me, but is very hesitant to commit to much else. I have taken steps to promise to be there if she decides to have a child. I have told her that I want to be there from start to finish. We have spent the night together 3 times, and had sex twice. God, it was wonderful to sleep with her again.
I still live separately however, in an apartment, while she is taking measures to move back into our home, while trying to sell it. She says she is not ready emotionally for me to move back home. I am not ready emotionally to give all of myself to her, although, we have agreed to conjugal visits. But I am a little nervous about a full blown commitment because I want certain things and right now, she is not able to give them to me. Basically all she wants is a child. After that happens, who the hell knows what she will come up with that she absolutely has to have to be happy. I wonder honestly if she can be satisfied. Time will tell, is all I can say, but I am amazed at the 180 degree turnaround she has made in at least trying to work on this. It has been 3 months yesterday since she left and I was really unsure she would ever return. So things change, and people change. I am just praying that this time of brokenness for me has been a changing agent and I am capable of doing what I say I am gonna do. This to me, is a God thing and I believe He orchestrated all of it. Now I want to know what the purpose was and why he brought me and us to this place.

Honestly Daniel, I hope it works out. I love her too much not to try.

Is it really worth taking more emotional abuse from this person? She is enjoying keeping you all tied up in knots. As long as you let her do it...she will. You can love someone with every last fiber of your being but unless they love you back in the same way someone will keep getting hurt. How many times do you have to touch the hot burner before you decide it's too painful? She doesn't love you the same way that you love her. If she did she would have a whole lot more regard for your feelings. FWIW, I really think you should move on to someone with more compassion and maturity.

But if you choose to go forward, knowing what you know, after reading what you wrote and knowing what is in store, you will need to accept the consequences. Just be sure you understand the consequences and the risk you are taking. The risk is high, and it's not just your life you are messing with. Good luck.

Co-dependent once more
Being a quintessential codependent I, Saint Scooty of the perpteual sacrificial abused martyr, offer you some insight and experience.
You need more separation. Your self entitlement is nonexistent. The pain of the last time she kicked you in the teeth that woke you up has subsided and you are falling asleep once more. Being codependent means compensating for and enabling another person's psychopathology. The pain of the other person makes them feel that they are entitled to the sacrifice of the happiness of the codependent. The codependent has such a low self worth that they are grateful for the opportunity to trade their self-loathing for being valued by another, even if that role is being psychological toilet paper. The inability to see one's own entitlent to not be sacrificed and personal boundaries for me was akin to having a stroke and "cortical blindness" to my entitlement. Entitlement to just "be" without the requirement conditional of sacrifice of my happiness to another to earn such. I actually had to write in large markers posssted all over my house, in my car etc. Messages like: "I am responsible for no one's happiness excpt my own" "Michael's pain (my ex) does not entitle him to my sacrifice" "Michael's pain is not my responsibility" "I am responsible to myself" "I am responsible for my happines" "Live in the joy of the moment" I actually would forget these truths and could not remember what I had thought and had to go back and read these signs mulptple times every day. It was like rehbilitation therapy following a stroke! Iwas truly disabled! I have no doubt that Being codependent stems from a focal cortical brain dysfunction linked to the psychological abuse caused by hompoophbia in formative years. I see my mirror image in you. I hope you can awaken enough to see that your "wife" will psychologically harm you if you don't break away. If not then at some point she will kick you hard in the teeth again. She will do this because you are holding her back from feeling her own pain and not seek a therapeutic solution when she can just keep wiping her psychological pus on you and your children. The picture that you paint of her pattern of behavior is that of a Bipolar type II. This means that It will cycle from tenacious single-minded ideation to dangerous extreme, uncotrollable rage, fear and even paranoid psychosis to remorse, regret depression guilt and hypersexual reconciliation with you. You must seek the courage to disappoint her and not sacifice your children's health and safety to prevent her from feeling her own pain of her psychological illnesses and her actions. Your child is entitled to your sacrifice. That's the condition called Motherhood. Your "wife" is not. Choose wisely
Love and affirmation, Forrester Tongpa Nyi (formerly Ash Phoenix, faeries evolve! ) When you come to know that your entitlement to joy is a given, All that remains is the exploration of the many different ways to let it in |
I must agree, please re-read your own words; they are full of pain and doubt. You are setting yourself up to be hurt yet again.
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?"
Thanks guys for the words of caution. She hasn't yet committed anything to me except that we will raise a child together and I will move back in at some point. I know I have expressed a lot of pain and doubt and fear with this relationship, and honestly never thought she would EVER want me back. This past 3 weeks have done nothing but begin to restore my faith in our relationship. She is still guarded and so am I. She is the one who left, but feels "guarded", like I wasn't the one devastated. Oh well, we are working it out and doing The Love Dare together. It has forced us to face some really hard questions and make some agreements with each other. I covet your prayers and see this as an answer from God. He is plainly the only one who could have made her change her mind. It was nothing I did, I assure you. This was all her choice.
I have told her in no uncertain terms that I simply cannot endure her abandonment any longer. If we bring a child, she cannot leave. In fact, that option needs to be taken off the table.
If everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride, we'd see the day when nobody died. IF EVERYONE CARED/Nickelback |
It's like this gal looks at you and your brain shuts off because you are getting a high. Ok. Fair enough. Being in love is great stuff. But that is not going to deal with the stuff that has gone down and - if not addressed- will happen again. You are looking at 4 going on 5 times being abandoned if there is a kid involved. You need professional counseling. And after reading of your complete turn-around, that is, since the words of your own kids haven't penetrated very deeply, there is very little reason to believe that you are going to heed the warning signs and any advice given. You are going to do what you are going to do. You've written some really strong words here. And now seem to discount them as if they don't matter. That alone should give one pause. The word BEWARE is made up of two words: BE & AWARE. And from your recent post you don't seem to be heeding even your own thoughts. What's it gonna take? Another cut and run from your ex?
Be the love you seek. Last edited by Daniel; 09-02-2010 at 09:16 AM. Reason: edited & amended for clarity |
I'm done. You are going to do it again. She is going to hurt you...again. It would please me to be wrong about this but I don't think so. It's your life. Let us know when you have really had enough pain.
"Beloved let us tolerate one another. For tolerance is of God and everyone that tolerates is born of God and knows God. He that tolerates not, knows not God for God is tolerance." 1 John 4:7,8 |
we will raise a child together and I will move back in This is unfair to the child whose purpose is to compensate for your and her psychopathology? Why not just tatto her name on your forehead, that way she owns you and can't discard you because everyone is witness to it? At least you will spare a child the torture of being formally trained to be a codependent. If we bring a child, she cannot leave. In fact, that option needs to be taken off the table. So you are setting a better trap for her that she can't wiggle out of? Gee! that's true love for sure! I'll bet she doesn't feel trapped or scared at all now! The only good thing about your proposal is that it is so obviously flawed she may just see your strategy and reject it! That is old, proven disasterous, trailerpark logic. That is like saying If I put a child in my car with a a tire that leaks flat in 30 minutes that now the tire is prohibited from going flat. The reason I am introducing sarcasm into my tone is that I have been down this road. Adding a child does not solve the problem,,,,It makes it worse by being more complicated and adding another victim. You are an adult and you are hurt by her psychopathology. A child has no defense and will be tortured into a shortened miserable adult life of depression, drug addiction, and worse. What kind of escape will he or she seek when your "wife" in a fit tells her/him "The only reason we had you was so she (you) could trap me!" Today I treat young men and women who are permanently screwed because in their early teens they started snorting oxyxcontin to escape a chaotic parenting household. Their Central Nervous System developed adapted to extremely high potency narcotics and now are permenently dysfunctional. You are making decisions regarding relationships with a disability labelled codependent. This condition will hurt you and others with whom you live if you fail/refuse to recognize it. You need a good therapist to find ways to compensate for this psychological disability. You will need to practice this compensation daily. If you reply on this thread that you are seeking therapy and practicing daily, I will continue to reply with compassion, affirmation and support. I have been down this road. If you reply with another way to perpetuate and feed into her and your psychopathology to avoid facing up to your disability, I have nothing more to say as you are not yet ready to appreciate my experience.

Dearest PNG,
I must add my voice to those of your good friends here. And they are good friends, however harsh some of their words may seem to you now. The current state of your relationship is NO PLACE to raise a child. And no, having a child does NOT guarantee that "she cannot leave." Not at all. She CAN leave, and there will also be a dependent child, and then what? Who gets the child? Who pays child support? Etc. S/he will be caught in the middle any time your wife decides to play "Leave PNG For A While And Then Come Back"?! That can be devastating to a child. Scotty is right. The relationship MUST be solid and healthy before adding a child to the mix. A child is not a fix-it for a dysfunctional relationship. A child would be victimized by this situation. I've known people who have had babies to try to keep a wandering partner from leaving. In all cases, years later, they've turned into divorced couples with a scared or angry child being tossed from guardian to guardian amidst an ongoing chaos of changing custody agreements, and/or only seeing a beloved parent once or twice a year throughout childhood and teen years. Please PNG, if you do decide to enter Round 5 of this scenario with your wife who has already left and come back 4 times, please do not bring a child into the home unless you AND she have both had extensive couples' counseling with a professional. Please - for the sake of the child. The first part of being responsible for a child's well-being is knowing when you are not positioned to give the child what s/he needs most. A safe, consistent loving environment. How safe, consistent and loving has your relationship with your wife been, and do you really want a child to feel the way you do now, only at the age of 2 or so and be unable to articulate or contain such feelings the way an adult can? And I agree with your other friends. Re-read your words on the thread you started when she left you the fourth time. Are you truly willing to sign up for that experience all over again? Yes, I believe in second chances. But four and five times?!! What would you think if someone else told you their spouse left them 4 times? Would you be confident your friend wouldn't be hurt a fifth time? The sheer number of times this has happened indicates an entrenched and ongoing pattern. It's been her proven track-record. Are you really sure you are okay with signing up for round five?
*** Never linger too long with the ignorant, throw stones at their talk. Walk only with the lovers, the mirror of the soul gets rusty when dipped in muddy water. -Rumi |
If you agree to have a child with her, and then she leaves, your child will go with her. You will have no rights to this child either, because most states do not allow second parent adoption. THe mother who carries is the one with the legal rights. Period. All the court documents in the world will not stop her. All the court documents in the world will not help you, no will, no agreement, nothing. You will lose your wife and your child and that would have to be the most painful pain in the world, to lose your child. I think back to that one lesbian mother whom had and raised a child for 4 years or so with her wife and the wife changed, found God, and left, hiding her child and not allowing visitation. The child is now much older and I doubt that she sees her other mom, much less remembers her. You would have no legal recourse. This other mother spent alot of money to see her child and she still does not. Please make sure you think this through carefully before you bring another life into your relationship. Work throguh your problems and make sure your relationship is strong before adding a child. A child will cause untold stresses and a relationship that is not strong will crumble in the wake of having a child. We all want you to be happy, we are your friends and just want you to be careful. I personally don't want you to be hurt again. Please be very carefull.
Don't be afraid, it's only love! |
She went through insemination two weeks ago and it failed. I see it as a sign that maybe we might be putting the cart before the horse. Her parents refuse to let me in the house, as if I am some sort of evil demon bent on harming them. Her gay brother is just as toxic. I haven't even told my family, they will have a hairy fit.
But all that to say, if God wants her to have a child, it will happen, but not until then. This is a faithwalk for me and if she leaves again, I have told her to just stay gone. I can't handle the emotional trauma she always leaves in her wake. I said if you stay, you stay, period. No more leaving. I am done!
If everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride, we'd see the day when nobody died. IF EVERYONE CARED/Nickelback |
A sign?
Faith walk? I'd hardly call it that. Faith is built on the truth. And you won't/can't tell it to the people who are supposed be mean the most to us- that is - family. Who do you think you are fooling? Haven't seen a counselor, have you? All very hush, hush, secret drama? That's a recipe for disaster. How can you be honest with others when you are being dishonest with yourself?
Be the love you seek. Last edited by Daniel; 09-28-2010 at 10:31 PM. Reason: spelling and edit |

I adore block play! One of the most amazing things to provide block play is fabric! Here is a student who made a "puppet" theater with the fabric and told a story --- "The Three Giraffes and the Monkey." It was the story of the three bears retold with giraffes and a monkey.
I also change out additional pieces like animals and characters related to our current explorations and themes. These adaptations keep the activity in blocks alive and vibrant. There are such rich and rewarding buildings, stories, and collaborative play always unfolding.

Wordemic, speed scrabble online from your Windows Phone
Wordemic is a word game for your Windows Phone that is played like scrabble but you compete online against others much like you do with Wordament.
You build as many words as possible in scrabble fashion before the clock strikes zero. You then get to see how your score compares to others who are playing with the same letter sets. Wordemic starts out slow but quickly grows on you. It's a fun way to pass the time with.
When you first launch Wordemic, you have to set up your screen name (just tap the link at the bottom of the screen) and once set, tap play to jump into the game.
Wordemic's game screen has your letter collection at the bottom of the screen, your timer in the upper center and your score in the upper right. You have two gaming controls just above the letter selection. The down arrow returns all the tiles off the game board and the check mark validates the words in play and refreshes your letter bin.
Game play is simple in that you drag your first letter to the "X" box on the game board and drag additional letters to create your first word. You then build other words off the first word to score as many points as possible before the clock hits zero. The playing board is touch navigable so you can move about as your word collection grows in size.
At the end of the two minutes, your score summary will appear showing the highest point word, longest word, etc. and your ranking amongst other players. You don't have the level of gamer stats Wordament offers (hopefully that'll change) but you get a feel for how your word skills compare to others.
I could only find one downside to Wordemic, a lack of competition. Granted the game is new but I played several games with no competing scores to measure up against. Hopefully as Windows Phone users become aware of Wordemic, this will change because it's a fun word game.
Wordemic is a free, ad-supported game for your Windows Phone that you can find here in the Windows Phone Store.

Something like Wordfeud??
teslaelectric says:
think the point is unlike wordfeud and alphajax you're not playing against someone else one-on-one. rather, its single player but timed and you're competing with everyone else to see who can get the most points each round
Xaphoon148 says:
Ok, thanks :)
HaibaneReki says:
a non Xbox wordament then? Meh.. ^_^ (Yes I know it's a little different) ;)
Keith Wallace says:
Not at all. It's more like the Scrabble-like alternative to Wordament's Boggle-like gameplay.
Jason Roberts says:
Exactly this. It's more scrabble/bananagrams than boggle. Both use words and a board but very different gameplay mechanics. Thanks keith!
justmoe40 says:
Would prefer the actual scrabble game
prettyconfusd says:
I really wish some of these games would come with an offline mode. Sometimes I just want to play Wordament when I've got a spare minute or two and I find myself waiting 30 seconds or more for a game to start.
I love online multiplayer but sometimes I'd appreciate being able to play a game on my own terms.
Keith Wallace says:
The developer's already said he plans to implement an offline mode, as well as a mode to individually challenge others.
Jason Roberts says:
In the works. Thanks for your feedback!
DaveGx says:
These word games must be the easier apps to make, like weather ones. Seems to be alot of them in the store
ash29k says:
Pretty cool game, some sound effects like wordament would be killer, the countdown panic tune for example and some tile sounds like other scrabble games, add those and this game is an absolute winner, very nice presentation!
Jason Roberts says:
Sound effects are definitely on my radar and i will be adding them as soon as i can! Thanks!
IamHappyDog says:
The game is fun, glad to see it is getting some deserved attention!
Awesome review George, Thanks!
Jason Roberts says:
Thanks HAPPY DOG! "Move It Like You Meme It" is also quite a fun game so I bought it!
Jason Roberts says:
Thank you so much George for the review, You just made my day!

In the garden
A nose for roses
Gorgeous roses have bloomed all around us during the last month, and seeing them tempts gardeners and landowners to add these magnificent plants to their landscapes. Many, many varieties are available, and choosing the right rose to get what you want can be confusing. Just some of the options include hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, and miniatures. Then there are old garden and modern roses, and shrub, tree and climbing roses. And, of course, there are also the ramblers and the polyanthas. It always helps to talk to an experienced specialist, in this case a rosarian. Henrico master gardener Don Penzler is a consulting rosarian for the American Rose Society and an active member of the Richmond Rose Society. "The first question I ask is how much care you are willing to give a rose," said Penzler. "Are you willing to feed it once a month, give it enough water and treat it for diseases or insects?" Your answers to these questions and a look at the space where you're planning to plant can help you decide what type of rose is right for you. Roses can be grown in the garden or in a container, provided it is large enough. They need a minimum of six hours of sunlight each day. Without sufficient sun, roses produce fewer blooms and are more susceptible to diseases. They also need fertile soil that allows for good drainage. Roses need 1-2 inches of water weekly, more in hot weather, less in cool. "I recommend using a rain gauge," said Penzler. "A rain gauge is a good idea for any gardener. You can tell how much water you're getting from rainfall, and how much you need to provide." Penzler recommends watering the ground around the rose inside the dripline rather than watering leaves. Overhead watering can contribute to diseases like blackspot. Blackspot is the most common plant disease that affects roses. Black spots appear on leaves and within days the leaves begin to yellow and later drop from the plant. Spraying roses can help fight the disease as well as control common insect pests such as Thrips and Spider Mites. "Many people today don't have the time to spray their roses or they don't want to use the chemicals," said Penzler, "so the American Rose Society has become focused on disease-resistant roses." Penzler said that Old Garden roses, Knockout roses and many of the David Austin varieties are good choices for disease resistance. Roses need to be fertilized and deadheaded during the blooming season to insure healthy plants that continue to bloom. They also need to be pruned at the start of the season, and protected during winter months. Penzler recommends taking a look at the Richmond Rose Society's website for additional information about planting and caring for roses and a list of roses that are recommended for the Richmond area. Members of the Richmond Rose Society will also be available on May 19 and 20 at Strange's Nursery in Short Pump to help people figure out what rose best suits their needs, and the Society will hold its annual rose show at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden over the Memorial Day weekend. |

By MIRIAM JORDAN
Immigrants are more inclined to own small businesses than native-born Americans and are increasingly opening shop in areas beyond the major cities in which they have traditionally settled, a trend that is energizing local economies and reshaping communities.
Immigrants accounted for 18% of the country's 4.9 million small-business owners in 2010, a six-percentage-point increase from two decades earlier, according to analysis of census data by the nonpartisan Fiscal Policy Institute. Immigrants, who represent 13% of the population, accounted for a third of the increase in the number of small-business owners between 1990 and 2010.
Small businesses are defined as companies with fewer than 100 employees. Small businesses owned by immigrants employed 4.7 million people in 2010 and generated an estimated $776 billion in revenue, according to FPI calculations.
The study confirms that business ownership remains a favored way to earn a living among immigrants. The latest surge in immigrant business owners began in the 1980s, when the country experienced a large wave of newcomers from Latin America and Asia.
The study downplays the role of immigrant-founded technology titans, such as Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc. Like a century ago, immigrant firms remain more likely to be mom-and-pop stores, which thrive despite the predominance of big-box retailers and the growth of online shopping.
"A bigger part of the immigrant business story is still the bread-and-butter grocery store, restaurant and retail shop, as well as doctors' offices, taxi services and dry cleaners," said David Kallick, principal author of the FPI report.
Traditionally, immigrants established businesses in enclaves of big cities that boast large populations from the same country, making it possible to operate with little or no English.
But in the past decade or so, many Asian and Latin American newcomers have rooted ethnic eateries and grocery stores in small towns in the U.S. heartland. In Schuyler, Neb., a meatpacking town of just 6,211 people, Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants have flocked to B Street, transforming a neighborhood where storefronts had stood vacant for years

"Our downtown is mostly immigrant businesses now," said Mayor David Reinecke. "If they weren't here, we'd be dying."
Delfino Bello emigrated from Mexico unable to speak English. Now, he runs three popular Mexican restaurants about 40 miles from Chicago.
In 1995, Mr. Bello opened his first eatery, called "El Faro," in a shopping strip in Bartlett, Ill., that had fallen on hard times. As the taqueria flourished, it attracted other businesses. A few years later, he opened restaurants in Elgin and East Dundee, serving a clientele that includes both immigrants and Americans.
"I had nothing, nothing when I arrived in this country," said Mr. Bello, 55 years old. If the economy continues to recover, he says he plans to open a fourth restaurant.
National Supermarket Association represents independent supermarket owners, including many Dominican immigrants who started as small grocers in New York's Hispanic neighborhoods. Now, many have found a niche by moving into non-immigrant, low-income areas in the city and beyond.
"They're not small businesses anymore," said Ramona Hernandez, a professor at the City College of New York who studies Dominican entrepreneurship. "They're chains that move billions of dollars each year."
The FPI study found that immigrants concentrate in some industries, such as taxi services, dry cleaners and gas stations. They also have a large presence in lodging and restaurants.
Mexicans, the single largest group of immigrants, own the greatest number of immigrant-owned small firms. They are followed by immigrants from India, Korea, Cuba, China and Vietnam.
Immigrants from countries with relatively small numbers in the overall population, such as Greece, are disproportionately more likely to own businesses, while immigrant women are twice as likely as U.S.-born women to be business owners.
The FPI found that the largest number of Indian-born small-business owners are in education, health and social services, followed by leisure and hospitality and computers and technology.
In the medical field, Indians have helped offset a shortage of primary-care doctors and dentists in some parts of the U.S.
India-born dentist Savpreet S. Dhami and his family moved to Cortland, N.Y., 35 miles from Syracuse, in 2005, where he joined an Indian-owned practice. After six years, Dr. Dhami, 48, got a $600,000 bank loan and bought a practice from a retiring dentist in nearby Cicero. Since opening in December, he has more than doubled his staff and recently invested in a $30,000 digital x-ray machine
Dr. Dhami says he hopes to bring another dentist into the practice, and in three or four years he hopes to open another practice. "Only in America can you become owner of a business like this," he said.

Truth is, if there was solid evidence for the existence of God, it then would be a point of fact with no room for faith.
Therefore is it possible that the continued neutrality is being sustain by God for our benefit?
LOL, you are an excellent example of an uneducated literate. Why don't you call your biology teacher from high school and take the lessons on advanced evolution/preliminary population genetics again?
A 'meta-physicist'? Charming! So in the classes you took to receive a 'degree', they tought Numerology also? Or was this an elective at some mail order/online school?
Asserting that we live in a 'matrix', is only as valuable as the 'belief' in astrology. It might be fun to believe in, but the utility is limited.
Appearing to be proficient at everything, only reminds me of folks with delusions of grandure.
Well physicists assert that we live in a hologram and that all the information in the universe is actually mapped to a surface of the hypersphere that we are enclosed in. Analogously all the information contained in a blackhole is mapped to its surface. Dr. Lennard Susskind its one of your chief proponents of the Holographic Universe. In regard to the matrix, one of the observable signs would be astrononical coincidences to make the prophecies in regard to 666 possible. NERO CAESAR, sums to 666 in Hebrew and he is among the deadliest of the Beastly Emperors of the Roman Empire.(there were six others as prophesied, including the Vaspasian and Septimus Severus dynasties) And the Imperial Emperor of the future that is now formulating and existing as it's precursor, the EU shall also have such a leader. He shall also require that everyone receives his mark on the forehead and on the palms of the hand. The Beast is identifiied by, its slaughter of the Holy and Elect., it requirement that everyone postrate themselves and worship it, lastly, standing in the reconstructed Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and declaring itself God. (The abomination of Desolation, spoken about by Daniel, Jesus and the Revelation)
Tell me Mikey, I HAVE to know - why do you post, then delete so many comments? If you made a mistake (other than just being nuts), just use the "Edit" button (no "Edit" button caan fix nuts --)!
RE: "Well physicists assert that we live in hologram and that all the information in universe is actually mapped to surface of the hypersphere that we are enclosed in."
Some physicists have presented that idea as a possibility - let's get factual.
RE: "one of the observable signs would be astrononical coincidences to make the prophecies in regard to 666 possible"
Where do you get that leap of "logic"?
Michael, I appreciate your honesty, and like when you write here, because I think the world needs to see what it's up against.
No I have not missed your point nor did I ever surmise that the lack of evidence was evidence. I clearly stated, "is it possible?"
Any evidence contradicts a faith based religion.
RE: "Where is the evidence for all this?"
Mike has faith and the gift of prophecy, he don't need no stinking evidence, right, Mike?
Well most of us on this site come from Christendom and are well aware of the importance of faith to the belief system. Sorry if I took that for granted. I advise that you consult any online biblle commentary. I recommend www.thebiblegateway.com or .org
I disagree that this would leave no room for faith. I think it would require even more faith; faith that God is truthful and right. As it stands, God's power is so far above us (if we're talking about the divine creator, at least) that we cannot verify if God really has our best interest at heart, or if God is just f'n with us. You have to take it on faith. A mysterious god is more malleable to our personal convictions than one that interacts directly with humanity in a clear and concise manner.
Atheists will often be quick to point out that the the Abrahamic faiths (as well as others) support homophobia, misogyny, slavery, capital punishment (etc.). Many religious folk will counter that not all people of faith are like that. Many hold some notion of their god that is more compatible with their cultural views, either because they truly believe that is the nature of their god, or more likely because it's easier for them to believe.
But what if God emerged and suddenly left no grey area? Let's say he commanded all true followers to kill every person who conceals their godgiven hair colour with dyes and other artificial means? That would leave many of us in a position where we would need to kill loved ones, which would certainly contradict what's in our (metaphorical) hearts. Which party do we trust? Almighty God, or our own sensibilities?
Perhaps that seems like a nonsensical scenario, but that's kind of the point: who can say how a god would or would not act? There is all sorts of crazy stuff in religious texts which covers the full gamut from that which is intensely beautiful to that which is unimaginably monstrous. With gods like that, all bets are off.
Therefore is it possible that the continued neutrality is being sustain by God for our benefit?
No. I'm against using the word 'possible' so frivolously. We have no means to determine whether or not it is possible, so I'd say it is simply undefined. When talking about probability and possibility, some evidence or supporting theory is still required, otherwise the terms lose meaning. I could assert all sorts of utterly nonsensical claims and hedge them on the idea that some mysterious, unknown agent makes them somehow possible.
This proposition is an offshot of my philosophical musings. After six decades of life I have observed patterns and coincidences to the extent that I would say that every day is authored.
Here are but a few that tip the iceberg:
These are only the recent ones.
This to me is telltale signs of eternal authorship. As it is written, "a man may plan is ways, but it is God that determines his goings". "A man may plant a seed, but only god can make it grow"
If so, then he must deliberately author each day such that there are enough people debunking his existence to the extent that he is relegated to the unfalsifiable or simply non existent.
Thus anyone having faith is relegated a fool by the wise of this world as prophesied.

I thought I needed to drop you a line to inform you of my satisfaction with the high quality service that I have received from Kirsty in the past few days! I am very happy that she has been able to assist me with my changes to my trip. I am very greatfull to her for her fantastic attitude and outstanding service!
by TS, South AfricaAndries and I would like to thank the ORYX team for a memorable India tour. The tour was exceptionally well planned. The only hassle we as guests were left with was to try and get the best photo of a Tiger. We can only but highly recommend ORYX and will not think twice about using their services again in future.'
by LS, South Africa"My partner Dee and I and two friends from the UK Jan and Max have
recently returned from an outstanding two week safari in the Maasai Mara with Marius Coetzee of ORYX Expeditions. I have been going on safari in Africa for 40 years and I can honestsay that this was the best organized and planned safari that I have ever been on. Marius travelled with us and I have to say he was the perfect host.
He was always enthusiastic, pleasant, on time and nothing was ever too
much trouble for him. Marius is an award winning photographer but for me his best attribute was the fact that he was keen to pass on his knowledge. He was much more intent on us getting the "perfect shot " than on getting
the " perfect shot " himself. I can assure you that this is unfortunately not always the case with professional photographers. Marius chose outstanding camps for us and because of his unique relationship with the camp managers and guides we always received VIP treatment. As anyone who has been on safari a number of times knows the positioning of ones vehicle makes all the difference. Due to Marius' experience and innate understanding of the animals we always seemed to be in the ideal position for photography and game viewing. For anyone who wants a safari of a lifetime and is keen on improving their photographic skills I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Marius and ORYX Expeditions."
"My wife and I were in Kenya at the beginning of August 2012 for ten days with Marius Coetzee of ORYX Photographic Expeditions. Although he could not have organised that the two million wildebeest migrate into the Masai Mara, we were lucky that they arrived three days before we did! He organised everything else. We spent an amazing ten days taking pictures every afternoon and evening.
Marius is a consummate host. His happiness in the wild is infectious and his knowledge of animal behaviour insightful and very useful in anticipating things for a picture. He has the patience to wait for it to happen. ORYX makes high quality travel arrangements. All transfers and internal flights were facilitated with the greatest of ease, and the lodges chosen were top notch. I had the most amazing holiday, and took some really fantastic photographs.
My non photographer wife had a fantastic time. She did not spend every photo shoot with us, but her every whim was catered for at the lodges and she recharged her batteries. Marius paid special attention to her to ensure she was not left out and checked regularly at the lodges that she was looked after.
Thank you, Marius and ORYX. I will definitely recommend you to my photographic colleagues and will no doubt become a regular client!"
by BS, South Africa'As a working journalist, I travel for a living and Madagascar is one of the most logistically challenging places to travel to. It is a world unto itself, in every sense of the word. When given a recent book project on Madagascar and in need of some photographic work there was only one person I knew who could help me. Marius Coetzee has been a guide for over 11 years, and there is no one I could feel safer with in a country as challenging as Madagascar.
Marius is patient; he is kind, and above all inspiring!! If you are going to Madagascar, he is the guy. If you are going any place else, he is probably the guy too!'
'Marius we just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with ORYX and yourself as leader. We felt comfortable the whole time and appreciated very much your photographic help and organizational skills and enthusiasm.'
by MHWe had a GREAT time with Dale. Everything was as expected as we have learned to expect the unexpected. We would go with Dale and your company without any hesitation. We have NOTHING to complain about. Olive learned a lot of things from Dale. How not when you get such a crazy guide.
by HM, USA"I became interested in ORYX because some of the other outfits who advertise photo safaris don't really appear to be very strong photographers. ORYX stands out in that regard."
by CP, USA'The trip was awesome – the whole family really loved it! As for Greg himself, he was a total hit! Greg is another level. So very happy he could join us, and I doubt it will be the last time either. He certainly helped me out a lot, and also had incredible patience with my mum & sister who were beginners. Thanks so much for organizing this for us – ill definitely give ORYX a shout for our next safari.'
by NS, United KingdomI'm not sure if I can adequately express my enthusiasm for our tour through South Africa. Sharing time with some of the most exotic animals on the planet will continue to be one of my most treasured memories. What I loved most, was the proximity and intensity of the experience with leopards. Although I am not a wild life photographer, I am an adrenaline junkie, and hearing the hiss of an adult leopard is one of the most exciting times I can remember. In my most spectacular day dreams, I could not have thought up lodges like Kings Camp or Leopard Hills. ORYX group put together a trip that was virtually bespoken to both my husband and my tastes. We were able to share an adventure together, and this was possibly the best trip we have taken together. This was achieved by a seamless set of logistical operations, not a hint of a problem with travel, accommodation, food, or even photography opportunities. Mother Nature may be unpredictable, but ORYX seems to have managed a way to make her a little happier.
by M Y-L, CanadaKing's Camp (Timbavati) rank among the best wildlife watching and photography places I have experienced, not only in Africa but in the World. The abundance of Leopard and the quality of the sightings is just amazing. Drivers and trackers do a fantastic job, and the avoidance of "game jams" thanks to the policy of only two vehicles allowed at a sighting is a great advantage. Leopard is clearly the main attraction at Timbavati, but there were great sightings of Buffalo, Elephant and White Rhino. Accommodation and the entire infrastructure around King's Camp is just wonderful. The rooms are a delight, food excellent, very nice birds around the gardens, great bar and library, and some of the very best service I've experienced anywhere. We were pampered in every way imaginable. As a wildlife enthusiast and photographer who has been around, I certainly recommend King's Camp and Timbavati as a superb, rewarding and very productive destination. I hope I find the time to go back some time soon.
by IY, Spain
'Just wanted to thank you again for a great wildlife experience, especially your
professionalism in providing information, photography advice and special care
in positioning the Landrover to give us all a chance to maximise the pleasure
of the bush…..not to mention your great sense of humour!
'Marius Coetzee is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced safari (field) guides I have met on my more than 30 trips to Africa. His knowledge of the bush and ability to work with his tracker to find animals is unique and appreciated. As an accomplished photographer, Marius knows how to position his vehicle to get the best photograph and has the patience to make sure that his guests see what they need.'
by HE, USA"ORYX did us proud, from Kirsty's exceptional logistics management, your own support & Help, and mostly Greg's complete professionalism, looking forward I must admit to June & Tanzania"
by EL, Australia'Spitsbergen was incredible. None of us expected to love it as much as we did and I definitely need to go back one day soon. Elliott was great and a lot of fun, and certainly helped me loads with my technique.'
by NS, United Kingdom
was fantastic to have along. He has an unassuming way of helping people take
better shots. It felt as though he was always there for advice, without any
kind of forced structure.'
"We have to thank our guide Elliott Neep, an amazing wildlife photographer who works with ORYX Photographic Tours, for such a great trip. Without Elliott our trip would have been that much poorer! The ORYX group was certainly a class act. Of course, we also have to thank Joshua, our driver for our time in TZ. With x-ray like vision and deft driving, Joshua made sure that we were the first on scene for all of the best moments of our trip"

4. | French Toast | ||
Egging someone else's property, usually a car, then covering it with slices of bread, and leaving it in the sun. The sun cooks the eggs, baking the bread and ruining the car. Hence, french toast. The Principal gave me detention the other day, so me and Pablo French Toasted his car.
5. | French toast | ||
A nasty person who resembles french toast... usually has the following attributes: greasy hair-syrup, bad smelling-burnt eggs, baby powder in hair to try to cover up the grease-powdered sugar. May also be a mysterious whore-nobody knows where it came from and is everywhere. Man: Hey did you see that Kaitlyn smith chick?
Woman: Yeah she's a real french toast. Man: Hey, your right! |

A simple concoction of bread, eggs, and milk. Dates back as far as Medieval Times. It's also some how magically related to Asians. Asians=French Toast????
7. | French Toast | ||
the origin of the term french toast comes from world war 1. The story goes like this: A french soldier was looting a house near the trenches. he found some eggs and several slices of bread, which he put in his pocket. As he was walking back to his post, a German patrol ambushed him. during the fracas, the soldier fell on his pocket, breaking the eggs on the bread, and then was promptly roasted by a flamethrower. A British patrol found his body, complete with "french toast" in his pocket. The name has stuck ever since. Hey, did you see that French guy who attempted to light himself on fire in protest?
Yeah, he turned into real french toast. |
