Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
It's unbelievable reading some of the reviews. Never going back because you didn't like one dish? And what's with the 3,000 word essay criticizing every minute detail? Clearly an oversight of some of these reviewers is the price they are paying. I have no idea where they're coming from with their expectations. The food is tasty and an amazing value. If you want more, you're going to have to pay more somewhere else.
I have been a fan of Kam's since he had the old place on Davie Street. His service has always been outstanding: always welcoming and friendly, often going around to tables and asking how everything's going, and he's personally presented gifts to more than one friend when dining on special occasions. The menu features a number of familiar dishes but there are a few standouts. The lettuce wrap is really yummy, and although it's not on the menu, they will still make their tasty Ah May Chicken if you ask nicely. But the biggest thing about Red Ginger is value. The portions are very generous, and there's always a 2-for-1 entree coupon in the Georgia Strait. Don't listen to the poor reviews - as a long time customer I find them completely unfounded. I think the food's great, and at such a bargain it's obviously worth a try!
The service and food at Red Ginger were fantastic! Kam was super friendly and kept the restaurant open late to accommodate my friend and I who unknowingly walked in just before closing. The food was very fresh and tasty. She has been back since and was really happy with it the second time around, and I plan to get back soon.
One thing that is just so outstanding about Red Ginger... a great service that make you feel like you are their family guest. Kam always makes a point on visiting your table, saying hello and asking how the food is... makes you feel so welcome. Other servers are great too, that they come by so often to refill your water. As for the food.... if you really want better "tasting" food, then go to Banana Leaf instead. The potion is really large but the food taste somewhat bland. My husband and I have tried about 12 dishes there so far, and found Ginger Chicken and Chicken Lettuce Wrap the tastiest.
There are a lot of 2-for-1 coupons available for this restaurant on local newspapers like Georgia Straight, Vancouver Courier and Westender since it is fairly a new restaurant. So the value has been just phenomenal, and it is worth a try with coupons.
Looking at other reviews of this place, I was hesitant to try it out but was walking by and decided to take out a few dishes for dinner. The manager is friendly and it took less than 10 minutes, but unfortunately, they forgot to add flavor to the Spicy Beef with Curry Peanut Sauce or the Mee Goreng that I ordered. There was no recognizable flavor to these dishes based on what I know of curry or peanut sauce. And the Mee Goreng tasted like bad pad thai with ketchup. Disappointing results but seems to be the consensus from other reviews posted about this restaurant. Now I personally know better than to eat here again.
Went on a Sunday in a group of five people. We ordered both Chinese and Thai dishes (pineapple chicken, chilli pepper beef, pad thai, etc) which all came in huge portions. The dishes tasted great, except that a few dishes rated spicy weren't spicy at all. The manager (owner?) was extremely accommodating, came by many time and had great sense of humour. For dessert we shared deep fried banana with mango ice cream. The ice cream was top-notch, very creamy and flavourful.
We used two coupons which made the meal work out really cheap. But even without coupons the prices are fair with $10/dish on average.
My husband and I decided to give Red Ginger a try cause everytime we walk by, we always see quite a few people and thought why not try a new restaurant. The host was friendly and displayed great customer service. We were seated and the menu offered great variety. We decided to order the chicken curry, the sweet basil prawns and the pad thai. When the food arrived, we were immediately disappointed. The dishes were only medium warm and not hot and fresh. We like dishes to come to us like it was just out of the oven. The curry was really really awful. It was so bland that it left a taste of chalk in my mouth. The vegetables were cut so enormous that it didn't even have any taste to it. The sweet basil prawns were just as bland. There were no exotic flavors to these dishes. I can't even begin to describe how not delicious these dishes were. I have been to many different places and have had the same dishes and I can honestly say, these dishes at this place is by far the worse. The pad thai was really awful. It was just a big plate of pasta mixed in ketchup with a sprinkle of bean sprouts. I am really sad to have to say this but if only the chef would taste his own cooking, he would know that he better make some improvements fast or this place is going to sink soon. I believe Red Ginger has great potential as its staff is really nice, the atmosphere is great and the restaurant is in a great location BUT the chef really really needs to make better tasting food. Quality always wins over quantity...so even though the portions are huge, it doesn't matter if one doesn't finish the food because it tastes so awful.
The value is amazing. Larger portion than most Thai restaurants. It is a westernized version of Thai food and still, nevertheless, yummy!
It is disheartening to read negative reviews regarding the service as I have ALWAYS been treated better than most restaurants in the half dozen times I've eaten here. I think those reviewers are possibly high maintenance (a server's nightmare) or have a personal hate-on for the owner as I see almost the exact same review in other rating sites. And the person who does not like spicy food -- d-uh! Why are you eating here?
Food is very fresh, piping hot, and surprisingly fast. I love their coconut rice. I had spring rolls, sha cha chicken ,sha cha beef, mixed seasonal vegetables and deep fried banana with mango ice cream yesterday.
Atmosphere is warm with Thai statues and themes all around. They do great with a large group, too.
Sure, I can go to Banana Leaf or some other more authentic Thai restaurant but when I want to have a meal and leave like I didn't get ripped off and treated like a welcomed guest I will come here.
And the person complaining about paid parking, I don't know what you're talking about. There is free parking in the back downstairs.
Went for lunch...service was friendly and fast, the atmosphere was fine and the place generally feels clean. This is one of the first times I was not able to finish a plate of ginger beef, I dont know but whatever beef was under the coating would have had to be the worst end peices you could imagine. Will never go back for that reason...just feel the quality of the ingredients was very sub standard....
Contrary to other reviews, everytime I have gone to Red Ginger, which has been several times, I found service to be unfair and noticed unfair treatment.
I have been there around 5 times+ so I have reason to believe what i've been experiencing at this restaurant is consistent. Everytime I have been there, Kam has never once greeted me or my family. We sit down, and we order, finish our food and leave. I have looked around and observed that all other asian customers receive the same kind of treatment. I have been there on busy nights as well as slow days and Kam tends to specifically go up to the door and greet people as well as tend to their table enthusiastically, if they are Caucasian.
You can take this as a biased observance, but this is what I have experienced personally after having eaten there several times.
The other day I went there for a lunch with family and while eating, I overheard Kam loudly scolding two elderly filipino ladies. I can understand if there was a problem, but there is no need to raise your voice. They had inquired about take out trays and their pricing. He responded by telling them that they had offended him and that the price shouldn't matter because if every customer used a take out tray it still wouldn't be enough to pay his phone bill. He proceeded by telling them they were being cheap and complained of how he had to change a lot of the prices for the restaurant in order to make payments.
I found this to be extremely unprofessional and an extremely unpleasant experience for myself, my family, and everyone else eating at that time.
Needless to say, the only thing that holds me back from going is the service. If I saw and exerienced the same enthusiastically complying and friendly treatment which Kam shows to his other Caucasian customers, i'm sure I'd be compelled to come back. But after witnessing how other asian families such as mine get sidelined and ignored time after time in comparison to other customers, I'm not sure if I'd make the decision to go back ever again.
In conclusion, the food is mediocre, portion size is good and the 2 for 1 coupons are a decent deal. Service, however, is the dealbreaker.
I accidently went to Red Ginger today. Lookin' for lunch; had parked in the overpriced lot behind the restaurant for a nearby doctor's appointment and thought I'd amortize the $4/hr fee by fetching lunch before giving up my space. It only occured to me later - was this the "reincarnation" of Kam's Crappy Singaporean on Davie Street - where I'd been enough times to "have known better"? The hint that gave it away was the "Two for 1" dinner special -- Kam's perpetually had these coupons in the weekly paper, making a diner wonder whether the meals were so overpriced that 2 x 1 should be the norm, or if their value was just half what they should have been.
I looked at the menu, and despite it appearing to be ostensibly a Chinese restaurant, it had a clear southeast asian flair - fine by me. Ordered Nasi Goreng. As a lunch special it's $8, enough for 4 (and I'm a bg eater) and came with hot and sour soup (poorly transliterated as "suar" ("suan") la tong on the menu). Reception was cheery and efficient, I had my takeout in 10 minutes or less, and it was hot, flavourful and tasty. Maybe a little too tomato-ey but well within the range of edibility.
Kam's Place on Davie was an abomination. Kam himself was rude (and based on other reviews for this restaurant, still is); service had been spotty, food bland. My impressions of *that* restaurant are so visceral that despite a generally positive experience today, I'd STILL avoid Red Ginger if it is run by Kam.
Check out nearby Kaya Bistro, no doubt reviewed herein. Fantastic food, authentic, modern decor and fantastic waitstaff. Kam has way too many negative karma points to recommend his new-ish offering, even if the food had been "to die for". That said, my small sample of their food and service was superior to anything I ever had at Kam's.
Kam has always provided friendly, prompt service. One time I went in and one of my kids was melting down. Kam immediately brought us some soup and didn't charge us. Another time he gave us free ice cream for dessert. Another time he gave us free take out food as we were leaving. He is really a great guy. The restaurant is good as well. Food quality and price match. The other servers are great as well. This is a place that was a staple in the West End and now when were are close by on Broadway we stop by as well. I can't understand how some people have suggested he is rude...that sounds impossible and doesn't make any sense. This guy is one of those genuinely good people that are sometimes rare to find on this planet.
The food was fresh and hot, very tasty to say the least.
This is a good value place that I would recommend to friends and take friends to.
The food was hot and service was quick.
Place is clean and well kept.
To those with bad reviews, think what you're getting for your money (~$10 gets you chicken/beef/pork/vegetables). $10 at a fast food gets you a burger (usually ground up/processed meat), fries and drink.
Best value for the money.
I have been coming to this establishment for years now and have noticed a steep decline in service since the restaurant has moved to it's new location in Vancouver. It is now called Red Ginger and although the menu is still the same, there are a few issues that need to be sorted out.
Kam himself greeted and served us. We were seated promptly. I asked Kam for a gingerale when he approached our table and he cut me off while I was speaking to him. He should understand, after all these years in the service industry, that this is rude. Please let your customers speak, instead of cutting them off. I was simply going to ask him for no ice cubes in my glass, but he didn't let me finish. I had to verbally raise my voice, in order to catch his attention, as he quickly rushed away.
The restaurant has always seemed quiet on the weekend when I've come here for lunch. They have lunch specials which are around $7-8 which seems reasonable, but it really isn't all that great of a deal and I'll explain why. You get salad, soup, rice, and you get to choose the main entree (ginger beef, curry chicken, sweet and sour pork, vegetables, etc). You only can pick one item and there are no seafood choices for their lunch special.
I found it was an odd choice that Kam would hand out "lunch special" only menus by default. Since their main entree menu offers a wider selection of items and would be more profitable for the restaurant, but no, we had to request the regular menu.
After a brief moment, he re-emerged with my beverage. I than enquired about the soup that was served with the lunch special. I've always enjoyed their corn soup. Kam informed me that it was not ready and is only served at dinner time. He told me the only choice was sweet and sour soup, which I do not like. I asked if it would be okay to substitute the soup for a little more salad. He gave me a very puzzled look and I was offended, but I said nothing about it. Again, if this was an issue, it would have been fine, I just wouldn't have ordered the soup and would have been content with the rest of the entree. I asked him if I could have ranch dressing with my salad and I received the same puzzled look from him. I have never tried their dressing before, so I wanted to know what I could expect. He told me that "this is MY restaurant and I serve MY own dressing with the salad." Okay, that is fine. I asked him if he could tell me what type of dressing was used. He than said "it is a spicy thai dressing." That is fine, but because I do not like spicy foods, I asked him if he could place it on the side. This seemed like a request he was not expecting, because his facial expression changed and he said he would "try to see what he could do." Wow, not a great start.
After receiving my salad (with dressing on the side), it was a very small portion consisting of iceberg lettuce chunks. That was it, there was absolutely nothing else to it. The dressing was fine and I didn't find it spicy at all, but it was very syrupy and sweet like a thai chili sauce. I was very disappointed in their salad. I'm not sure, maybe this is common example of thai salad, but to me, chunks of iceberg lettuce still soaking wet, is not very appetizing.
I tried their ginger beef. I have always enjoyed their version of it and today was no exception. The rest of the food was fine. We didn't really have any other complaints about the food. It's not the best, but it's far from the worst we've tried.
Since Kam was our server and the restaurant was slow, you would have expected excellent service, but unfortunately it was lacking on this visit. Kam seemed to be in another place and wasn't his usual cheerful self. He forgot to bring us our order of rice, as well, he also forgot to bring my father a coke he ordered earlier. It is easy to overlook once, but when it happens twice like this, it makes you wonder what is going on. If the restaurant is busy, okay, I get it, but when it happens on a quiet lunch, on a Sunday afternoon, their really is no excuse for it.
I won't make an effort to come to this restaurant any more. I used to really enjoy coming here, but after this disastrous lunch, I would never recommend coming here for lunch again. With a large group and some coupons, it is still a good choice for an affordable dinner, but I would not recommend this establishment for an enjoyable lunch.
I had high hopes seeing a new place opening in the area but was sadly and suprisingly disapointed. The three dishes we ordered all were swimming in a soupy vegetable concoction rather than the smooth textures expected. The seperate dishes all tasted similar and even though the portions were large there was not a lot of taste. I was never a big fan of that Davie Street Restaurant so maybe that explains why. Sorry to say.

The US suspended its role in joint development of the Arrow-2 missile system with Israel; it's the third such joint weapon/defense system on which the US has ended cooperation with Israel because the latter continues to sell arms to China. The US is using foresight: it knows that the next potential superpower is China and that any arms sold to the ChiComs will be used to stare down (or shoot down) the US military.
Israel is China's second biggest weapons supplier. China in turn sells weapons technology to Iran and many Arab states and is an expanding market for oil imports.
Caroline Glick tells the Israeli government to smarten up: "What is more important, our business relationship with the state that is arming our sworn enemies with nuclear weapons and delivery systems, or our strategic relationship with the country that is working to deny them both?"


text: I have 6 chicks that are about 7 weeks old with their mother hen separated from the flock in a smaller coop. I believe that 3 are hens and 3 are roosters. I've read and read and it seems like everyone has a different version of when to introduce. When and how can I introduce them to the flock. They appear to be ready to be out of the smaller coop by their behaviors. The mother hen still seems protective. The large flock is 15 hens and a rooster. It does get cold at night here in Montana. About 20-30s already. I have not put the heat lamp in the coop yet. What time of day do I introduce them? Thanks for the help.

What's the matter?


text:
During a recent interview with British Vogue's November issue, the "Shake It Off" singer revealed that she is no longer looking for love and is instead embracing the single life.
"Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind, because I can't picture how it could work with the way my life is," Swift told the publication. "I don't know how a guy is supposed to walk next to his girlfriend when there are 20 men with cameras, and he can't protect his girlfriend because that's the life she chose. I just don't see how it could work, so I don't think about it, and I kind of run from it when it presents itself."
"They think that they would want to get to know me, and maybe date me, but I don't think they want what comes with it," the beauty added.
Swift also graces the cover of the magazine, and she looks amazing in soft pastel colors and a gorgeous pale pink Miu Miu jacket shot by famed photographer Mario Testino. And although she may be comfortable in her skin now and know the direction she wants to go in with her music and her life, things were not always so black and white for the singer.
"The one thing I wish these girls that come to my shows knew is that they are exactly where I was when I was a teenager. I had no idea who I was! I was going through all these phases. I was trying on different outfits and all these different personalities, trying to figure out what category I fit into, and which clique I would be accepted in. But if you just keep doing 'you,' and being who you are and doing what feels natural to you, maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will," Swift said.

Read how this gay author went from camp satire to crime thriller success
And the advice he has for budding LGBTI writers
Until this year, British author Paul Burston was better known for writing darkly comic novels based around gay protagonists.
Shameless, Star People, Lovers and Losers and The Gay Divorcee were brimming with waspish one-liners, satire and camp melodrama.
If those books showed off one set of his writing muscles, a more serious side was reflected in his journalism. He was, for the best part of two decades, the editor of Time Out magazine's LGBT section in the UK capital.
His contribution to that publication was instrumental in it scooping the 2008 Stonewall Award for 'Publication of the Year'.
However, he was let go by Time Out in 2014 when the title decided to axe its LGBT section: a decision described by one media observer as 'short-sighted and a huge loss to London.'
London's loss may be the wider world's gain. Burston re-emerged this year with The Black Path: a dark thriller quite distinct from his previous work.
It's also gone on to be his most successful. It remained in the WH Smith Top 20 chart for almost three months following its September publication.
Returning to Burston's roots in South Wales, the book is set in Bridgend: Helen, a mid-20s army wife, still struggles to cope with the violent death of her father many years earlier. Her husband, Owen, is on active duty in Afghanistan.
A seemingly chance encounter with a strange woman, Sian, on a night out, turns Helen's world upside down, leading to discoveries about both her father and husband.
All of the characters, in some way, are dealing with trauma, but to reveal any more would give away spoilers.
'I got dropped by my publisher … That put me in a bit of a tail spin for a while'
Burston divides his time between homes in Oval, South London, and Hastings in East Sussex. Meeting him at the former, my first questions is simply what prompted the change in direction with this novel.
'It was several things. Firstly, I got dropped by my publisher after The Gay Divorcee. It was 2009/2010, when the recession hit the publishing world, and a lot of mid-list publishers got dropped. That put me in a bit of a tail spin for a while.
'I'd done four novels and a non-fiction book with them, and, if I'm really honest, it knocked me for six. I wasn't sure what I should do.
He says that he'd had the idea for The Black Path knocking around in his head for some time, but was unsure where to go with it. He credits his decision to form a regularly writing group with two other writers – VG Lee and DJ Connell – as helping enormously.
'We'd meet weekly or fortnightly. It was the first time I was writing a novel without being contracted to write one, which me was quite a daunting thing. But the upside was that there was no expectation: it could be whatever I wanted it to be.
'I'd sort of written quite black comedies in the past, but the books I read for my own pleasure tend to be thrillers and always have been.
'So I was writing this book and thinking "I'm not quite sure what this book will be"… I knew it would be different to the others and not making jokes but I didn't realize quite what it was until I was about a third of the way in.
'We had a writing group here and swapped chapters that week and sat down, and they both said, "You do realize you're writing a thriller, don't you?"
'That's when I realized what it was and adapted it then. I knew what the story was, and who the two main characters were – Helen and Owen, but I didn't know what the outcome was going to be.'
Domestic Noir
He says he felt emboldened by the rise in popularity of 'domestic noir' (a term coined by the author Julia Crouch about the success of her books and the popularity of others, such as Gone Girl, Before I Go To Sleep, etc.).
'I'm not interested in procedural novels. I like reading them but I wouldn't want to write about a detective or murder scenes,' says Burston. 'With domestic noir you could write thrillers but very much based around the victim rather than the investigator.'
The change in direction, along the feedback from his writing group, has paid dividends. After being picked up by Accent Press, The Black Path has outsold any of his previous work.
Burston is now working on another thriller ('about a novelist'), which he hopes to finish in 2017. He says he has been pleasantly surprised not only be the reception The Black Path has had from readers, but also from the wider crime writing community.
'I've never known a community so supportive of each other. They're just so amazing and welcoming.
'I'm friendly with the crime writer Alex Marwood, and she and Sarah Hilary both said I should come to the Harrogate Crime Festival. This was back in July. I went for a few days and it was so inspiring. They had huge audiences, like 700 people in a room listening to two authors talk about their work and then buying books.
'I was introduced to so many writers: "This is Paul and he's written his first crime novel," and they were all, "How can I help you? Meet this blogger, they always write really nice things about my books!" I've never had that as a writer before.''
'It's so difficult getting a book with LGBTI characters and themes published'
Supporting other writers is something Burston feels passionately about. Since 2007 he has run Polari, a monthly 'Queer Literary Salon'.
Running at London's Southbank Centre, it provides a platform for LGBTI writers to read excerpts from their work to an appreciative audience.
With the help of Arts Council Funding, Burston over the last couple of years has been able to take Polari on tour around the UK. As well as readings, this also includes workshops for local writers.
Polari First Book Prize
Burston is very aware of how difficult it can be to get mainstream publishers to take on LGBTI-themed material and is pleased to offer any help he can to LGBTI writers struggling to have their voices heard.
It's part of the reason he launched the Polari Prize: an award for a first-time published writer for a work with LGBTI themes.
'The Polari Prize is all voluntary and is a lot of work for the judges as it involves a lot of reading. It's open to self-published work, which it had to be because of the nature of how the industry is to LGBTI stuff, but that does mean you have to wade through some slush pile stuff.
'But I think it's a really worthwhile enterprise, because it's so difficult getting a book with LGBTI characters and themes published.
'Anything that puts a spotlight on those new and emerging writers is great, whatever age they are.
'We do workshops on the tour and somebody, at each, is given a chance to perform in the evening. It's really been very encouraging to see all these people out there, all around the country, working on their books with no support network whatsoever. It really is extraordinary to see that.
'I know how important support networks are. This book [The Black Path] wouldn't exist without my support network.'
'You never stop learning'
Among his advice for other writers is to remain open to constructive criticism.
'You never stop learning. We do come across that in workshops, the odd person who comes along with their great unpublished novel who is resistant to criticism. And I do wonder, "Why do you come to this workshop unless you want us to be honest?"
'I've done this a long time and am grateful for constructive criticism. It's different if someone's just being vile and tearing it apart, but if you can't take constructive criticism, you're never going to improve.'
The Black Path is widely available in the UK via outlets including Amazon, WH Smith, Foyles and Waterstones. It's also available from Barnes & Noble in the US and worldwide with free delivery from Book Depository.

The hospitality industry covers jobs involving customer care and customer service, often in hotels, guesthouses and holiday resorts. These include reception staff, bar staff, waiting staff and all those responsible for ensuring that guests' needs are met in a friendly, efficient way. In some larger establishments there are posts for conference and event organisers, and some holiday camps employ stewards and staff to entertain customers and manage guest activities.
With experience and the right kind of skills, it's possible to progress to hospitality assistant, manager or assessor. There is an NVQ/QCF Assessor certificate – formerly known as the A1 Award – which qualifies holders to assess hospitality trainees.Read More

I have a script that I do not run if it is already running. So I put in a check to make sure it is not running already by grepping the processes to make sure someone else is not running the script already. The problem is, within the script it reports as 2 processes are running instead of just the 1 even though I have another terminal open while it is running to show that there is really only one process.
This was fine because I simply said if the process count is higher than 2, then close out. However, now we use this script across several machines and when I do my check, since it is looking for the process on a different machine, if it is running over there, it returns 1 as I would expect. This means I have to redo my logic in my script to account for 2 processes on the system I am currently running the script on and 1 process for any other system.
I am trying to figure out why it does this. I am assuming it has something to do with a script creating its own instance of the shell, but I am not entirely sure what is going on so I was hoping someone could educate me. :)
This is the basics of the part of the script I am referring to:
for I in ${array[@]}
* * if ["$I" == "$me" ] ; then
* * * * isRunning=`ps -elf | grep script.sh | grep -v grep | grep -v vi | wc -l`
* * else
* * * * isRunning=`ssh -x user@"$I" 'ps -elf | grep script.sh | grep -v grep | grep -v vi | wc -l'`
* * fi
* * if [ $isRunning -gt 2 \ ; then
* * * * echo script.sh is already running on $I... Cannot run more than one instance of this script at a time."
* * * * exit
* * fi
so basically, I just realized today that it doesn't do the same 2 count when I ssh to another machine with it running since it is on another machine so I have to duplicate that "if isRunning" statement and put it within the first if/else statements so I can do one for the local machine with 2 and one for a remote machine with 1.
I am willing to take criticisms and advice on my code as well. I am always looking for ways to improve.

When I closed my eyes, the room spun slightly to the right.
The alcohol was definitely doing funny things with my brain. And it went beyond just throwing off my equilibrium. I knew Blake was attractive, sure, but it had to be the tequila and the four whiskey sours talking; never had my thoughts of my best friend been quite so... vivid. I turned my head towards where he sat at his desk, scribbling in his physics book. I watched the way some of his fair hair fell across his forehead. He needed a haircut again. The way his brow pinched in concentration. He needed to relax.
"The room's still spinning," I said, breaking the silence. Blake hummed in affirmation but didn't glance up. "You hadn't asked how I was feeling, but I thought you should know everything's falling to the right."
Despite my pathetic attempts at conversation, he didn't say anything. Which was strange, because he was usually amused by me, especially when I was drunk. Normally he was nothing but attentive. There was no subtle smile playing across his features, a sure sign of amusement, nor a tightening of his jaw, the only clue he gave of his frustration. Instead of either typical emotion, he was pretending I didn't exist. Like I wasn't lying on his bed, watching him carefully. Sitting up, ignoring my skull's protest, I brought my knees to my chin. My shoes caught the frame of his bed and dropped to the floor with echoing thuds.
At the noise, Blake glanced up, met my gaze before returning back to his studies. His eyes flashed with a first sign of emotion: irritation. At me. We sat in silence until it once again became too much for me.
"You always look busy."
He sighed, dropped his pen and ran a hand through his hair. Catching me eyeing him expectantly, he pushed aside the annoyance that came with me distracting him. Again.
Instead of snapping, he calmly replied, "You always look bored."
"I am bored."
"Well I'm not that busy. What is it?"
"You're mad."
He nodded. "I am."
"You're mad… at me?"
"You're drunk. Get some sleep."
"You're mad at me." I repeated, my words echoing in the silence of his dorm room. The alcohol pulsing through my insides rushed to my head as I whipped my focus from his brown eyes to stare at the ceiling. The tiles were white and soothing. Best of all they weren't shooting me angry, condescending stares. I bit my lip. "But I didn't do anything."
Blake had never been upset with me before. Not truly upset. He'd get annoyed when I slurped Pepsi from a can, or when I didn't want to go out because my hair wouldn't cooperate, or when I was late to our 10:30 biology lab because I overslept. But he'd never treated me quite like this.
"Why?" I asked, only half expecting the answer that never came. The room stopped spinning for a moment as I closed my eyes. "Because I texted you?"
Blake grunted in affirmation, and I continued,
"I know it's Friday and it's late and I didn't even tell you where I was going, but I couldn't think of anyone else. You're the only person that would drop everything when I needed you."
"I would." A shadow of a smile tugged at his mouth. His homework was abandoned. I wasn't sure when he'd swiveled to face me. "And I'm probably the only person who can interpret your drunk texts."
My phone was lying by my hip. Glancing down at the message I'd sent a half hour earlier, I frowned. I could barely understand the jumble of letters that were supposed to represent that I was drunk and alone and waiting outside Crickets in need of a ride home.
"I must be sobering up. That's terrible."
I set my phone back on his bed. The sheets were freshly washed, thanks to me. I doubt Blake would think to wash them if it wasn't for me.
"I am sorry. Weren't you supposed to go out tonight? I figured you'd be with Mike and Paulie, not sitting in your room catching up on physics."
"Mike and Paulie were going to the lake."
"Oh?" I glanced down at my painted toes. There was too much in Blake's stare and my head was too fuzzy to decipher what it meant. "You love fishing. Why didn't you join?"
"I don't get service at the lake. How could I come to your rescue if I was an hour away and without reception?"
The alcohol buzzed in my ears. My mouth fell slack. "What?"
Blake was still looking at me. His features still giving little away. "You're welcome."
"Blake... You... So you're not mad?"
His brows narrowed a fraction. "I'm pissed."
"Because I ruined your evening?" I was getting frustrated by playing this guessing game. I was way too drunk for this.
"No. Think about it Harper."
But I couldn't think about much of anything. My cheeks were numb and the room was still spinning and Blake wasn't making any sense.
"You're drunk. Get some sleep. We can talk about this in the morning."
I wasn't so drunk that I would forget his words. Lying back in Blake's bed I waited for him to join me. When he didn't I propped myself up on my elbows, expecting him to be doing physics once more. However, he was still sitting in his computer chair, facing me. Watching me with that indiscernible expression.
"How did you know that I would need rescuing?" I hadn't expected it. I wasn't a Disney princess. Animals didn't flock to me when I sang and no prince charming had ever swooped in when I'd needed him most. Besides, my voice was terrible and I was terrified of birds. And even more importantly, there were no prince charmings. At least none I'd spotted at my university.
He sighed. "You went out with Tanner."
I blinked. What did that have to do with anything? My head was still fuzzy and I couldn't remember the exact number of times I'd been out with Tanner, but Blake knew that I liked the guy. Tanner was affable and trustworthy and, well, he wasn't the kind of guy to leave a girl stranded at a bar without a ride home. At least, I'd never pegged him as the type.
"Tanner can be an ass when he's not getting his way. And I know you Harper. You're not the kind of girl who gives in easily."
Catching my lower lip between my teeth, I thought his words over. "So you gave up your Friday night on the off chance I refused Tanner's advances, he reacted like a brat and I needed a ride home?" It sounded shaky at best. Not a predictable scenario. It was laughable, really. But neither of us felt like laughing.
"I thought you might need me. That's all." He smiled a small, sad smile and the skin around his eyes crinkled. Blake was handsome. He was also sweet and perfect and my best friend. "Get some sleep."
I snuggled back into his bed and inhaled the familiar scent of his sheets. The alcohol swimming through my veins was making me groggy. My eyelids grew heavy and I succombed to the strengthining pull of slumber. It was easy to give in.
The soft navy blanket I liked to curl up with whenever I was in Blake's room was pulled to my chin. A warm hand brushed across my forehead, swept over my cheek and lingered on my jaw.
I wanted to tell Blake that I was sorry. And that I appreciated everything he'd done for me. I needed to let him know what he meant to me, how lucky I was to have him. That I wanted more. I opened my mouth but I was too tired to say anything. I was sorry I was so drunk. I wanted to apologize for not finding the right words to say what was becoming so clear. I wanted to sleep.
The lights flicked off and the bed dipped. The old dorm mattress springs groaned. Blake was beside me; I could feel him and I snuggled at his side.
I would wait until tomorrow. It would mean more, coming from me when I wasn't quite so intoxicated. And if I didn't remember this exact feeling, this exact moment, it would come back to me at some point.
Blake and I were best friends. We'd figure the rest out eventually.
I'm struggling with NaNo and wanted to write something short and sweet and with a male lead who wasn't complete shit. Sometimes a too-nice best friend is the best remedy. :)

Building trust in Asia through cooperative retirement of obsolete missiles by Gurmeet Kanwal
Nuclear deterrence is growing roots in South Asia. India and Pakistan have both incorporated nuclear capabilities into their defence planning. Both are guided by a philosophy of minimum credible deterrence, although within this context modest growth is expected to achieve desired force postures. It is natural that asymmetries exist in the forces held by India and Pakistan. These will persist along with different perceptions of strategy and tactics. Despite these differences, we believe India and Pakistan have both reached a point where they should share perceptions about deterrence and nuclear stability in the region.

Wars in mountains
Capacity building needed for future conflict by Gurmeet Kanwal
THE key geo-strategic challenges in South Asia emanate from the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and on the Af-Pak border; unresolved territorial disputes between India and China, and India and Pakistan; and the almost unbridled march of radical extremism that is sweeping across the strategic landscape. In May 1998, India and Pakistan had crossed the nuclear Rubicon and declared themselves states armed with nuclear weapons. Though there has been little nuclear sabre-rattling, tensions are inherent in the possession of nuclear weapons by neighbours with a long history of conflict. While the probability of conventional conflict on the Indian subcontinent remains low, its possibility cannot be altogether ruled out. Therefore, there is an inescapable requirement for defence planners to analyse future threats and challenges carefully and build the required military capacities to defeat these if push comes to shove.

The Continuing Proxy War in Kashmir Posted on September 01, 2011 by Gurmeet Kanwal
The situation in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) continues to remain a cause for concern to the government of India. Since end-1989, Pakistan has been waging a 'proxy war' against India in J&K. It has done this by aiding and abetting disaffected and misguided Kashmiri youth to rise against the Indian state. Despite the cease-fire on the Line of Control (LoC) since November 2003 and the tenuous rapprochement process, Pakistan continues to surreptitiously practice its peculiar brand of state-sponsored terrorism. This is borne out by the continuing attempts at infiltration in Kashmir during the summer of 2011.

I made a few new year's resolutions and I'm going to go into that in a second, but first, you guys, I'm going to New Orleans with my mom in a few weeks! I think it's going to be super fun. Has anybody been there? I know nothing. Well, I know only what I learned from watching Treme (which, incidentally, is an INCREDIBLE show) but it's pretty dark. Looking for something a bit more… up. So. Where should we go? What should we do? Food? They have some kind of doughnut that's famous I understand. Sign me up. What's the weather there like in late January, even? I know nothing. Where can I get a suit made of purple feathers? Is there a store or do you have to make it yourself? I think you have to make it yourself. Anyway, input needed. Thanks in advance.
Onto the resolutions.
1. Figure out why I hate yoga so much.
I think there's some kind of deep-seated something going on there. In theatre school, in like the second week, I was in a voice and speech class and we were told to release our stomach muscles. I started sobbing and asked to leave and my teacher was like, "why don't you try to stay and see where this takes you?" Little did I know the crying is kind of sort of the point of the Linklater voice and speech technique. It's one of the points. Tension in muscles can be connected to an emotional tension and releasing those pockets of tension can release all kinds of crazy shit. Which leads me to this: why do I hate yoga so much? Is it because I've carefully cultivated pockets of tension to hide all my deep inner anger and resentment and sadness? And yoga might release these pockets of sadness and result in a tidal wave of existential despair that might never stop? Just something I'd like to look into.
2. Develop upper body strength.
I have noodle arms. Enough said.
3. Volunteer as a Big Sister.
The yoga thing notwithstanding, I think I'm at a pretty good place in my life right now. I think it's time to give a little back. I don't really have money but I do believe that I have some time. I got in touch with Big Sisters of Greater Boston and I'm waiting for them to match me up with a little sister in the next few months. I'm kind of really excited about it. We can make friendship bracelets and cookies and go to the zoo together! Ugh it's my dream come true. Match me with a little sister faster, guys! I want to get started on being a good role model!!
4. Meet with a financial advisor.
The financial advisor is my father-in-law. This resolution is kind of a gimme. But whatever, it's resolved so it goes on the list. I want to invest. We don't have much money but I would like to have more of it. Just to buy things like organic tomatoes and duvet covers and fancy letter press note cards and headbands. You know. Expensive and somewhat useless things. And you know. A home. Eventually.
Ugh money. Sometimes I get so annoyed with it. It's just an imaginary human construct! How does it cause so many problems? This guy knows what I'm talking about.

Brief Biography about the Artist:
Artist Statement:
This series of paintings has a working title of "Back to Life". These paintings were created after I experienced a creative block and lost the ability to produce artwork. During this time, I felt my life had paused. However, my paints, canvases, and brushes called me back and I began creating again; achieving the results I was aiming for.
My paintings are abstract and expressive. They express my feelings and thoughts, although I encourage the viewer to freely interpret the paintings the way they see, feel, and think about them.
Charlene Walker is showcasing three of her mixed media works from her Maps Maps Maps series from June 10, to August 12, 2015.
Maps Maps Maps
These painting incorporate maps to examine my past through the places that are important to me. Having painted travel photos for several years, integrating maps into my paintings was a natural progression. I chose places that are significant to me and showcased something that spoke to me about the region to tell a story. Each painting is a personal examination into my past, and what has made me who I am.
Charlene Walker is a visual artist living in Ottawa She paints the natural world, breathing calm into chaos. She focuses on acrylic landscape painting, incorporating texture and strong colour. She has been showing her work in various galleries and collections around Ottawa since 2007.

"She needs to learn to advocate for herself, Mom." I say it with such an air of authority. It's Ula's second day of Circus Camp down at the Panther Creek Arts Center. Cornelia organized it for all the local kids, and Ula, with her own passion for the circus, was especially excited. But she had to leave the first day when the task of juggling in a busy room tripped a storming migraine. She had to spend the day in bed.
Mom wants me to go talk to the instructor. She wants me to explain what Ula can see, what she cannot. Now recovered, Ula has already run upstairs with the other kids to start day two. Cornelia is standing next to Mom, waiting for my decision. Honestly, I never would have predicted that juggling scarves could trip a migraine. Could I have even thwarted the problem with earlier intervention?
More importantly, I feel like Ula and I are crossing a new bridge. She needs to feel the power of her independence. Part of that independence means learning to speak up for herself when she needs help. We practiced before she went back to camp that day: "Those scarves were hard on my eyes," she rehearsed. "May I please work with bean bags instead?"
I am confident in Ula's ability to handle this.
I think.
Maybe, I just want to feel confident in Ula's ability to handle this.
Because while she and her sister are at camp, I have a meeting. And yesterday while they were at camp, Bob and I needed to get to the chiropractor and go meet with one of the farmers who supplies the cafe. We need to get the house ready, because Martina, our exchange student, arrives later tonight. And I've given nearly every day of every season for the last three years to Ula's vision therapy and developmental needs. We've had no summer breaks, no school vacations. We're both ready for a rest.
And she's made great strides. She stays up late at night reading. She can clean her room, organize her belongings and focus when she really needs to.
So in my mind, when I state "She needs to learn to advocate for herself, Mom," I'm thinking that this is about Ula. This is about letting go, letting her own her disability, letting her feel the power of addressing her needs. What I'm not saying out loud is the other side of that equation: This is about me letting go. This is about me paying attention to all those parts of my life that got pushed aside when I recognized the severity of her visual impairment: the attention to the farm, the attention to my writing, the attention to my husband, the attention to the other members of my family. The attention to myself.
Mom and Cornelia nod at me. They respect my decision. I move on with my day and rush to meet my 10:30 appointment.
Ula has a great day at circus camp. She pushes through her fear that another migraine will strike, and she learns new circus tricks. She, Saoirse and their cousin Evie come back to the house at the end of the day, full of stories, giggles and fatigue. They go outside to play while I make them a pot of soup. I'm tired and desperately want to go to bed. But we have to stay up and drive to get Martina when she arrives on the bus later tonight.
We eat our supper, then load into the car to go get her. We go to the bus stop where I get the message that the bus will be over an hour late. I'm getting cranky. It's already 8:30, a half hour past may bedtime. The kids are getting punchy in the back. We decide to run to the grocery store to kill some time.
I'm ready to ring Ula's neck. She won't let go of the stupid shopping cart as we work our way through the store. And she keeps banging into me with it. I try to push her away, but her hand keeps finding the basket again. And we keep crashing every time we need to change aisles. She's busy chattering with Evie, bickering with her sister. I just want to be away from all this. I want to be in my bed. I get pretty ornery when it's past my bedtime.
We finally make it to the register. Saoirse darts off to use the bathroom. Ula watches after her, then asks if she can go, too. I nod, telling her I'll meet up with her once we've paid. I at least know better than to let her try to find our car in the parking lot.
We finish paying and I head for the loos, passing Saoirse on her way back.
"Where's Ula?" I ask. Saoirse shrugs.
"She must be in the bathroom still."
"Did you see her in there?"
I try not to worry. Saoirse heads for the car. I head for the bathroom. No Ula. I run out to the parking lot where Bob and the other two kids are loading up the car. "Do you have Ula?" I shout over the cars, not caring who can hear me. They shake their heads no. I run back into the store.
And I see it all so clearly, too late: why she wasn't letting go of that cart. The more tired she gets, the less she can see. I was so cross with her, when what I should have done is ask Saoirse or Bob to take the cart so I could just hold her hand while we walked through the store. And if she was too tired to walk through the store on her own, how could I have let her go to the bathroom by herself?
She's lost.
I try to stay calm. She can't see right now, I tell myself. But she's smart. She's fucking smart. She'll do two things. First, she'll try to trace her path back to where she started. If that doesn't work, she find an adult. She'll ask someone to call me over the PA system.
But it doesn't stop the burning behind my eyes. It doesn't stop the sudden darkness of the world from closing in around my own vision. It doesn't stop me from hating myself, re-playing what a jerk I've been to my kid for the last two days. "Let her advocate for herself?" Stop letting her disabilities be my identity? What about the fact that the kid can't friggen see? How much more fun could she have had at Circus camp if I'd taken five minutes with the instructor and talked to him about Ula? Why did I insist on not interfering when she needed me?
More importantly, WHERE IS MY BABY?!?
I make it back to the register where we were standing when she walked away. And Ula is standing there, looking the most confused I've ever seen her. I wave my arms wildly so she notices me coming back in through the automatic doors. I call her name. The panic leaves her face, but she doesn't move. She lets me come to her. The look on her face is one I've never seen before. Her eyes seem lost, but her lips are trying to smile. She's trying to laugh through her fear.
"Can you believe I could get lost going to the bathroom?" She pulls her lips back past her teeth to force a smile, then. pushes her chest into a giggle. I pull her to me and clutch her close. Her arms grip tightly around my waist. And suddenly, I feel intense pain shoot through me. It isn't my own. It's hers.
She wants her independence as much as I want it for her. And in this moment, she is defeated. I quickly wipe my own eyes before she pulls away, trying to take her lead. I shrug my shoulders and push out my own giggle. "Well, I thought you'd see the sign, but I guess it's pretty high up."
"I ran around the whole store," she confesses. "And it's funny, really. I mean, I still have to pee, and I'm going around the outside of the whole store, trying to find a stupid bathroom, and I can't find it, and then I can't find you either! It's just….just..stupid." That last word comes out with a blend of giggle and sob.
I lead her back to the restrooms before walking her to the car, gob-smacked all the while by my child's powerlessness in this world. Learning to read was such a comparatively simple thing, I'm suddenly realizing. Learning to read happens in the safety of our home, with me nearby. Learning to be alone in the world with unpredictable vision is an entirely different matter. Where are her defenses? Where are her protection mechanisms?
We drive to the parking lot where the bus is due in. It's dark. Saoirse and Ula unravel a giant banner they've made to welcome Martina. The tour bus pulls into the lot and I hear Saoirse arguing with her sister. Saoirse's half of the sign if facing the bus. Ula doesn't even see the monstrous vehicle. Her half is pointed toward a field. Bob steers her back to face the right direction. I try to pull my attention away from all that just transpired with my daughter and focus on the moment at hand: this new stranger who is about to enter our lives.
Martina finds us in the dark. She bounces toward us and puts her arms around me, pushing all American hand-shaking formalities aside. She pulls away briefly, and the banner has fallen. Ula has tossed it aside. She runs to Martina and throws her arms around her and grips her as though she's waited years for this young woman to cross the ocean to find her. She welcomes this stranger with a wide open heart, putting love first, disregarding the notion of awkwardness as completely ineffectual. My trepidation about welcoming this foreigner into my home vanishes. Ula can't see to find the bathroom, but she can see a person's heart. Martina will do just fine with us.
I stand back and watch and breathe. There is so much this child and I need to learn. I need to learn that I can be wrong about her needs every moment of every day. Mama may know best, but that doesn't mean Mama knows. Ula needs to learn strategies for navigating new places. She needs strategies for navigating familiar places when fatigue makes her sight grow dim. But here, as I see these little arms embracing a foreigner, I remember once more her most powerful tool. What Ula cannot see with her eyes she can see with her heart, faster than any of us can. And until someone can teach us the next steps, that will have to lead the way.
