Modern City serves a menu of Shanghai style Chinese cuisine for eat in, take out or delivery.
Was walking in Kerrisdale and noticed this newly opened Shanghainese restaurant. Seemed fairly busy for 1pm with 2/3 full and mostly Chinese. A check off style of dim sum menu on the weekdays and ticked off the steamed pork soup dumplings (XLB's). They were very good with ample soup. Had the Tan Tan noodles, just average but I prefer a less paste, more thin soup. But I think this is the traditionaly way. Had the cold duck which was very good. Great service, they do speak english but also Mandarin and Cantonese. Prices are average with the dumplings in the $6 range, noodles about $10 and many main noodles dishes below $10. Would come back at night to try their Peking Duck at $39 for 3 course.
The food is good and authentic. The lunch dim sum menu is varied and have all your standard Shanghai-ese fare. The ambience is contemporary. The space accommodates small groups in booths, large groups up to 8 at round tables, and a bar for singles, noodle takers or those who would like to watch the dumpling making.
However, the service is puzzling. They offered food to two other tables who were seated after me, and BEFORE they even looked at the menu. (This was not pre-ordered - the food came from the kitchen and the server asked if they wanted to try it.) This included offering to them one of the items that I had ordered.
I had ordered only two things - pan fried juicy pork buns and steamed vegetable dumplings. After waiting 20+ minutes and seeing the more recently arrived customers get food, I flagged down one of the servers. The head server told me that my order takes longer to make. All in all, it took 30 minutes for two dim sum dishes to arrive at 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon (the restaurant was not full). Delicious as the food was and hungry as I was, I think this service and the server's explanation are ridiculous.
I think I will bring a Mandarin friend with me next time to see if I would get better service. The servers seem to give them preferential treatment.
In my previous review that I have predicted the Shanghai kitchen couldn't and wouldn't last for a year. I was wrong that they were there actually less than 6mos. Here goes again another "wanna be" has taken over. The new dig is Modern City Shanghai food. The ambiance and the menu are pretty well the same. Exception to that the new owner has no clue how to operate a restaurant. The shanghai siu lon bao is good but there are so many out there that are so much better. Ginger beef actually is orange beef so do not just read from the menu so make sure double check with your server. Good luck if you don't speak mandarin in this place. The food was very average and below par in comparison the same competitions around town. The killer is the MSG and I thought most asian eat outs has opted not to put these horrible chemistry in their food but guess what, you get a mouth full of this in this joint. So try to eat early because you will never be able to sleep and you will spend fair amount of time in the washroom and this is a promise
I believe there must be a curse or a spell casts in this location because there is no restaurant has survived for more than 12 months in the past 15 years. And no exception to Modern City and this is such a pity!

"Nobody wants to hear a kid talk;
now shut up, listen and just be seen"
"You won't go anywhere in life,
not until you learn to apply yourself like I say"
"Stop looking outside--
there's nothing beyond the window for you"
"Write on your paper for once,
or you'll be wiping desks forever"
"Kids like you are the number one reason
to stay off drugs"
(having not yet taken a drug beyond cough syrup
at that point in life, I wanted to put my number two
pencil straight into the eye of this living ignorance
trying to pass itself to me as an Authority
--instead I told him
he was the number one reason abortion is legal.
The class laughed, though it wasn't funny to me)
I will not write on the walls...
I will not write on the walls...
Eye vill naught right ohn ze valls...
"You are wasting your time; why don't you go
find a career, instead of doing nothing with your time"
This is nothing; a career is nothing.
I am. Nothing exists.
"How long are you going to waste your time;
until you find out writing isn't for you,
there's too many talented people out there"
Until the sun melts your eyes,
or this monitor melts mine to blind
jelly, these walls are for me
"Roses are red, violets are blue..."
Even the drunks I know need culture
"Bla lalah blahbla bla bla bla b- thump"
That's all I hear through the vines,
through walls pounding with life
or something more sinister,
teaming in the darkness on the other side
all they hear:
my door slams and shakes the walls
the wee hours are our own to die for
I will not write on the walls
I will not write on the walls
I will not write on the walls
But that never stopped a vandal,
or a dreamer, or a poet or a teacher--
This forced repetition of a mantra
only speaks to me of true love and life
My heart weighs more than a feather;
I fear what this meant to Egyptians
but not to Homer or Van Gough
so write,
on the walls
never shut up
apply yourself as needed
a clean desk is a fresh canvas or page
drugs only make some people say stupid things
the window always has something for you beyond the pane

Yes! That kind of creative game may seem foolish, but to an artist, any silly little thing can be the gateway to a great idea.
I hope it makes sense. Just exercising more demons from the past. I try to temper the negative a bit. Make it something to be learned from.

How lucky Skinny and I were to be allowed to write on the walls, to scribble, to paint, to grafitti ourselves into a corner.....
everything is a blank canvas to those brave enough, free enough, to see it that way.....
Little did all those in authority know that every chant, every "stop it, do it this way, that way, my way" they ever uttered was nothing but, A golden butterfly thread....leading you to another world....

I found it by scouring the earth near and far--but mostly very near. I just was on a crazy stained glass bent. Somebody sells these somewhere. To people--for money, no less! Maybe barter. I could track it back down for you. Thanks.
The road is a long one indeed, and I still need a few more years until the masters and probably by that point the PhD. You've traveled a long one in spite of the parental units and you never looked back. As we all should. I mostly want to teach college and I'm certain that will happen one day. Let someone else teach the young ones. I respect those who take up the challenge more than anyone--except for those particularly bastardly ones that said awful things to students and expected them to somehow benefit from being humiliated. And I was lucky! I could fight back, while some could do nothing but hang their head. To me, all of it encouraged rebellion. Now I like teaching rebellion.

Singleton and Skinny
You two inspire a lot. Thank you for sharing that idea.
I had forgotten what it really was to make my world my own whenever possible, even in this cozy little hideout off in the Michigan Woods of downtown Detroit--this is where the trees and poison ivy have moved back in place of bulldozed homes nobody wanted.
Not even the homeless.
It's funny that places like that are real. It shows how fast the planet would heal without us being here.
But peace will always win. No matter how much war we make abroad or in or homes. It all ends somehow, then peace takes over. That's what you two, or three, have taught me.

Some times when people talk about going places in life, I wonder where they mean. The deck of a private yacht? Or perhaps they mean that you'll never get to the rotary club charity dinner party? Tell such people that you are going exactly the same place in life as everyone else; death (they won't want to talk to you any more after that).
Ah yeah, the "waste of time" gem. I am majoring in Philosophy, I know it all too well. (Haven't heard it with regards to writing, but simply because I don't tell people that is what I want to do.)

Glad you dropped by, and the stained glass deffintely was a mix of ludicrous authority and a "holy" kind of way to frame it--literally on all levels. Love that google search.
And the writer's one is the same,"what are you going to do with a degree in English?"
I have plenty of answers but only a few listeners among the speakers. So screw them, it'll make me better for the experience. I'm sure you understand that. It's probably very similar, most of the time it's only a vague layer or skepticism. So I tune them out and don't let it derail me, even if it is familly who I hear the line from, and nobody else.
Thanks for the comment
Right on. I am rich with the stories I know. They can't be kept in forever by me, and not by another. I'm glad you and everyone understands that. You know exactly about this, I'd bet.
Thank you for cdropping by.
You see it and I see it and a lot of people see it. Thank you all. I listen to you, and don't have time to hear it anymore from the bad. I listen to myself and write the words as they come to me.
Read you soon, crashie. :)
And I have to say I'd rather have hard knocks than little taps. I'm ready for the worst.

Yes, the world needs more artists, instead of moreline workers for less jobs... that is only the tip of the nasty iceburg of public education in the States. Our government proves through it's miss-handling of education that it trully favors a population that knows little art and actual music and hasn't read the ideas of most of the greatest authors.
But we do for ourselves as best we can. I am glad for every opportunity I've had and will have. Many souls do not, as you know so well in your writing.

I have seen some powerful malodorous rejection letters on rare occasions. Just took everything out.
Or sometimes from those around us we don't want to hear it from, who don't know what love is; at laest not love that comes from writing. You know how much it means to a lot of people and youare one of them, too.

Singleton and Skinny:
There'a ain't no party
Like a Georgia porch party
Detroit's got nothing
like we've come to know,
climbing up the walls
jumping into the arms of the the wind
floating like cottonwood fuzz
on the warm drifts,
waiting to be caught by deft hands
that make wishes come true
and words come to life,
from the stillness of a heart's quiet beating

That is the craptacular way of things, friend. I hope your work went well. And don't worry about the comment lost. You can always come back and say more anytime.
Thanks for hanging in there, girl. I loved your last post, I'll have to write you into a story link soon, too. Glad you dropped by.

Thank you so kindly, and the best wishes to you and your situation. A lot of people are worried for you! And thanks for understanding me; it's so hard to watch a friend suffer. You're not alone in your burden. Of course, that isn't much comfort for you.
And thanks for understanding my own situation with that little putrid bastard at my friend's blog, and the responses and the emails he sends to people. I'm sure a few people in here have seen the nasty anons that follow me to other boards. He would love it if I were as hated as he, but that's not possible.
Yeah, shit was buggin me. Glad to get that out there and maybe find a more articulate and clever way to say it in the future. I love blogging for the intant feedback portion. Glad this one worked, too.
And Exorcism and Fright Night references are welcome and applauded. I need to get my mind onto lighter issues like that. Movies like that always remind me of traveling when I was a kid. We didn't have cable a lot, so many of the movies we saw were on the TV at hotel rooms while on the road.
Thank you to everyone who dropped by. I'll see you at your own blogs, count on it.

why is it that people cant accept the fact that it would be totally fair for men to leave it up and women to leave it down? each partner should have to move it in order to use it that makes it FAIR.. why should men always have to put it down? that is just another way for a woman to get her way i mean cmon ladies it isnt that BIG of a deal... and by the way iam a woman!!
What an awesome post. I have often wondered this myself. I have often been on the receiving end of this argument, when I express the fact that there are more males than females in those house, I am giving that logic breaking stare that could sink a thousand ships.
Hi Greeneyes (I have green eyes too), good to see you're a woman writing this.
But you really ought to insist on the loo seat being kept down. According to Feng Shui, leaving it up causes you to lose wealth, because it attracts money to go down the drain. Now don't ask me the ins and outs of this theory, because I've no idea. But it could be true.
And that's why I always keep it down -- except when I'm using it, of course.
Do you know, there are women who insist that men sit down when having a pee, in case of misses. That's one thing I'd never, ever do.
I agree with you. It doesn't bother me to have to put the seat down, but I grew up with three brothers and no sisters, so I became accustomed to checking it before I sat down. Now, I'm the only female in a house of four, so I still have to check it!
I agree, that is such a trivial thing just like which way the toilet paper is rolled or the toothpaste being squeezed from the top, bottom or middle. People need to get a grip and a life. if that's all they have to complain about they should be rejoicing.
personally i just pee all over the seat and don't worry about it.
Right on. In fact, my argument is that it should remain UP.
Do women not look before they leap? I mean, come on, yelling at me for leaving the seat up is like me yelling at you for closing the lid. If I'm dumb enough to let fly without checking to make sure the lid is up, I deserve to have to clean up splashed pee. If women are dumb enough to not LOOK before they sit on the toilet, they deserve a wet ass.
Seriously, you'd think they would be happy that the seat was up because it means we didn't pee on it.
Next thing, women will want us to WIPE for them too
rules men should know about women
1. Don't ever lie to us, we always find out.
2. We don't enjoy talking dirty to you as much as you enjoy listening.
3. Don't say you understand when you don't.
4. Girls are petty, get over it.
5. You don't have PMS; don't act like you know what it's like.
6. Saying something sweet might get you off the hook; doing something sweet will always get you off the hook.
7. If you talk about having a big dick, we know you don't.
8. Zit's happen to everyone. Yes, Mr. Perfect, even to you.
9. We don't like it when you act like Mr Big; we like it when you are Mr Big.
10.A system in your car only impresses your homeboys.
11. No matter what you say, your ex girlfriend is a pig.
12. It's good to be sensitive, sometimes.
13. If you did something wrong or even if you didn't, apologize.
14. Be spontaneous, dinner and a movie won't always cut it.
15. We are self-conscious by nature, we can't help it.
16. We are drama queens.
17. Fashion police do exist.
18. Don't ask us to give head; if you are nice you just might get it.
19. We absolutely do not care about monster trucks, or anything else you and your friends talk about, like: how much you know about the video games, porn, computers, Star Wars, etc.
20. Hugs and kisses must be given at all times.
21. We don't shave our legs every day, get over it.
22. Don't make bets about us, we always find out.
23. Shave - no matter how cool you think it looks, we hate it.
24. Even if you think it is cool to burp, fart, or emit other strange gases from your body, it's not.
25. Don't compare our breasts with Brittany Spear's, hers are fake.
26. It is not cool to shoot snot rockets.
27. We are beautiful, but make-up helps.(All girls love makeup, do not call us prissy or tell us we worry to much about the way we look for wearing it.)
28. We will always think we are fat so humor us and tell us we aren't.
29. It doesn't make you look cool to make fun of someone else.
30. If you ever beat us in a sport or game, it's always because you cheated, even if you didn't.
an rules women should know about men
Now it's time for the man's rules. We always hear "the rules" for the feminine side. Ok - we are now going to hear the rules from the man's side. These are our rules! Please note these are all numbered "1" on purpose.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
1. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work
Strong hints do not work
Obvious hints do not work
Just say it!
1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Check your oil! Please.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. I'm in shape. -ROUND is a shape.
there is toilet lifter where you step on it and the seat will be back in its place available at AMAZON, hehehe
I came across it while writing my hub about coolest and funniest inventions LOL<
I actually asked my husband this very question, and he told me that for him it was always a majority thing. When he was a kid he was the only male allowed to use the girls' bathroom because he didn't mess it up like his brothers did. Later, he lived in a house with his then-wife and three girls. After a mishap with one of the girls in the middle of the night when she was about three years old...and which apparently angered her to the point of fantasized homicide...he seems to have never forgotten again . Now it's either just me and him in the house, or us and my son, so technically the seat SHOULD be left up, but this previous conditioning prevents him from doing so. That...and a probably not-irrational fear that our 15lb. miniature schnaupin will try to go for a swim if the seat were left up.
lol..up or down, no big deal..the person who needs to use it can take a quick second and move it to the position they need it in...
I have never been a stickler about the position of a toilet seat, no matter if it is in my house or anywhere else I go.
@ Pinky _
THAT IS SO FREAKIN FUNNY, I ABOUT SPIT POP OUT OF MY NOSE! lmfao!!
lmao i thought it was funny cuz terry and i were talking bout this the other night.. he did something and was all its a man rule so i went to googling and i'll be damned if it wasnt but then i found woman rules for men lol
we got a good laugh out of it
It makes we want to post or email you some hilarious , yet un - postable, text messages I get every day..I know you would laugh your arse off...lmfao!
It's ok ladies sit back and be a good passenger we'll handle the decisions that way you can rest and keep yourself looking pretty!
My solution is to pee alongside my dogs when I take them out for a walk. No arguments about whether the grass should be up or down.

Carr Valley Monastery: A cow milk cheese that is "hand rubbed and cellar cured." It is "creamy textured and intensely flavored." I liked but didn't love. There are so many Carr Valley cheeses that I like more than this one so I would probably skip it next time. I'm hoping that on my next trip to Madison I have a chance to stop by a Carr Valley store. They have so many more varieties that I can't find here in MN.
Brie: I would also love you forever my dear Brie. However, I need to bake you with apples. It has been far too long.

Hi Bob,
Hi Carl,
Here I thought you were sleeping away and you've been working away instead.
There must be something in those programs to set to get a new page everytime. Have you checked their options or setups to see?
Have you noticed about web site news that where ever you go, you get almost the exact main stories though? I'm amazed that with all the thousands of reporters all over the world, how few stories of any variance we get each day.
I'll give you my two dollars worth of what I think about he us election too. :O), Even though, I know we're going to get into trouble with the ladies for being on this list. :O) Sorry ladies. I'll just say that I'm not of either the main parties. I will give Kerry much credit for even trying to run against Bush. Hilary was smarter than that. :O) She wanted to run, but knows she only has one chance. And was not willing to take it , yet. I thought Kerry put in a good showing, given the circumstances. It's too bad all the mis-information has to flow from both sides.
But everything is calculated on both sides, so who wins, maybe, has planned and skimmed the most and the bestest, so maybe they are the best choice?
Almost time for me to see the sleepy man.
Bob Noble

Hi Eric,
Yes, I couldn't sleep so I'm doing bookkeeping, what with my business and all. I read one of your messages that you use Mozilla browser at home and at work and I do to, however, I have to keep Internet Explorer because that is the only browser that will work with my company. I would prefer Mozilla for everything. I have noticed that Mozilla will not open the most current page until I do a reload. For example, I go to cnn.com to read the most current news and it still has the page from the day before; until I do a right click and reload. Odd. I wonder how I could configure Mozilla to open new pages as I go there. I have the same problem with foxnews.com. The news at cnn.com is the liberal view and the news at foxnews.com is the conservative view; foxnews claim to be fair & balance; not.
What do you think about the US election results?

Crazy About Cacti and SucculentsBook - 2006
Cacti and succulents are among the most bizarre and beautiful plants a gardener can grow—and included here are some of the most remarkable of them all: stapeliads and ceropegias. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has brought together master gardeners from across the country, who show how easy it is to cultivate a collection of cacti and succulents on a windowsill or under artificial lights. They also introduce varieties that are hardy enough to grow outside in most climates. There are chapters on medicinal plants and succulent bonsai, plus advice on how experts groom their plants for competition. Finally, readers can learn how to help save the cacti and succulents that are threatened with extinction in the wild.

OPEC Hopes Oil Production Cut Will Offset US Glut, Boost Profits
On December 30, oil prices remained comparatively high ahead of the New Year holiday with traders hoping that an agreement between members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC members is going to be implemented in 2017.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude traded at $54.02 a barrel while Brent traded at $57.18 a barrel.
Oil prices dipped on December 29 after a surprise boost in US inventories reversed an advance in prices that had pushed global crude to its highest level since July last year.
The oil production cut will be OPEC's first since 2008. Looking forward, oil prices should gradually stabilise around mid-50 dollars per barrel.
"The recent OPEC-Russia deal should be enough to provide support for the oil price around the mid-$50s per barrel (Brent) until the early spring. After that I think we will see weaker oil through the summer, because of higher supply, before some recovery again in the autumn," Chris Weafer, a partner at Macro-Advisory, a Moscow-based consultancy, told New Europe, adding that overall he is predicting an average oil price of $55 per barrel Brent for 2017, up from $45 per barrel in 2016.
Justin Urquhart-Stewart, Founder of London's Seven Investment Management, told New Europe that "compared to what we have seen the last couple of years this could be the year when we see a little bit more stability. We've seen the price rise to a new range of 50 to 60 and at that sort of level, assuming that most of the participants in OPEC and non-OPEC stay with the deal and, of course, quite a lot of them won't, I think there is a reasonable chance it will stay within that range because it is in everybody's interest to do so".

Report: Orioles close to signing pitcher Wolf
The Baltimore Orioles are close to finalizing a deal with left-handed pitcher Randy Wolf, MLB.com reported Tuesday.
Wolf, who was released by the Brewers on Wednesday, was 3-10 with a 5.69 ERA in 24 starts this season for the Brewers. He has not been as effective as he was last season when he went 13-10 with a 3.69 ERA.
Wolf, 36, is in the final year of a three-year, $29.75 million contract.
The Orioles earlier in the week acquired Joe Saunders, who was added to the roster on Tuesday.

After Obama was elected I started wondering whether we had returned to an era of symbolic efficiency (although the travails of the finance sector, their utter failure to produce a standard of valuation, their inability to comprehend their own books and assets--or, their failure to acknowledge that this very failure of valuation is precisely the collapse of value, proof, in other words, that their CDOs and similar 'toxic assets' (sounds like another word for liability) are actually worthless). It seemed that political meaning had been restored to a degree. That there was some kind of stability (I won't call it a new Master, despite proclamation or hopes to the contrary; I will think of it/him as a knot of attachment/investment that can momentarily knit together some terms and feelings into a strand of meaning) seemed clear.
Silly me. Tricks are for kids!
The right-wing crazies are loud and vicious and determined to say that night is day and day is night, to assert the implausible and the false in their effort to maintain an unraveled symbolic, a psychotic world. Here's an email I got a few days ago on "Obama's Fraudulent Filings". The sender was identified as Christian Response: firstname.lastname@example.com. (Test: how many leftists will latch onto this just as they did to 9/11 truth?)
Basic themes: Obama is not who he says he is; he's an imposter, a usurper, not 'one of us,' not a real American but an African. He isn't a 'natural born citizen' but someone unnaturally born, someone who cannot serve because of his unnatural birth. Obama can't be president because he has no right to be a candidate; he has no right to be a candidate because he is not one of us, he is African. He is a 'pretender to the throne,' as if the presidency were a hereditary monarchy (and thus he is a usurper by birth and by blood). Evidence to the contrary (his Hawaiian birth certificate) is false, a forgery, a lie that Obama is preserving by force as he 'comes after the United States Justice Foundation' with 'a vengenance.'
And, in case the racist support of this particular account of usurpation were not quite enough, in case it fails to mobilize a deep loathing of others on the basis of blood, on the basis of an African-ness that cannot conjoin with American, in case this isn't enough to call into question the legitimacy of Obama's presidency, the authors add an element of hatred for those understood as poor and undeserving and out of place: he is a squatter in the White House.
Obama's Fraudulent Filings!
Tell All 50 State Attorneys General To Investigate NOW The Compelling Evidence That Barack Obama Was Born In Africa!
Dear Concerned Friend,
I dared bring Barack Obama into court to force him to produce his birth certificate and put an end to the controversy over his status as a "natural born" citizenship once and for all. And now he's coming after me and the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) -- the public-interest legal group that I founded over 30 years ago -- with a vengeance! Merely because we dare to seek the truth!
And they must have something to hide, because Mr. Obama's attorneys have threatened to spend, and then sanction, USJF out of existence.
USJF has started efforts to convince State Attorneys General, all across the country, to investigate whether Barack Obama has committed perjury by knowingly filing false nomination papers ... claiming to be constitutionally eligible to run for, and serve as, President of the United States. As you know, the available evidence shows that he was born in Africa. A FAX to all 50 State Attorneys General is available for you to send right now.
You see, even though it's past January 20, 2009 -- inauguration day -- Barack Obama can still be stopped from becoming an illegal "squatter" in the White House.
FAX All 50 State Attorneys General To Investigate Obama's Fraudhttps://secure.conservativedonations.com/usjf_faxag?a=2261
Frankly, the evidence that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Africa -- not Hawaii as he claims - and, therefore, cannot serve as the President of the United States, is compelling.
- First, Mr. Obama's refusal to release his birth certificate. If he has nothing to hide, what does he gain by refusing to allow the press to see the birth certificate?
- Second, the contention by Barack Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, that Mr. Obama was born in a particular Hawaiian hospital, only to claim that it was in a different hospital several years later.
- Third, the erecting of a wall around Barack Obama's grandmother, the late Madelyn Dunham, by Mr. Obama, thus cutting off access to the one person then alive who would have been present if he was actually born in Hawaii.
- Fourth, the posting of law enforcement personnel at the two hospitals in Honolulu mentioned by Ms. Soetoro-Ng in an effort to block the press from discovering the truth about the birth certificate.
- Fifth, a taped phone conversation with Mr. Obama's step-grandmother in Kenya, who claims that she was present at his birth ... in what is now called Kenya!
- Sixth, the "birth certificate" posted on the Obama campaign website and other liberal websites. Since Barack Obama was born in 1961, long before laser printers and office computers, his original birth certificate would be typewritten ... unlike the laser printed "copy" purported to be genuine.
The evidence demands that Barack Obama answer why he has been hiding the truth from the American people about his eligibility to run for, and serve as, President!
That's right. Not only does Mr. Obama continue to categorically refuse to produce the decisive evidence proving whether he is a "natural born" citizen, his high-priced LA-based "dream team" of attorneys has USJF squarely in its crosshairs! And they're loading both barrels!
So, unless you help me and my team here at USJF to stand our ground in court, Mr. Obama's hired guns could blow a financial hole in USJF's ability to be the proverbial thorn in Mr. Obama's side!
Barack Obama continues to battle any attempt to see his real birth certificate - producing only a phony one posted on his website -- as well as fighting us tooth and nail as we seek access to his college records... records which we believe may prove that he was foreign born!
USJF served a subpoena upon Occidental College to gain access to Mr. Obama's college records and we are fighting to get at the truth on many other fronts, as well, including:
- Appealing a case filed by USJF in California, all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary, on behalf of 2008 Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, calling into question Mr. Obama's status as a "natural born" citizen;
- Funding, and assisting local attorneys and Plaintiffs, in similar lawsuits, in Ohio, Hawaii, and Mississippi, AND we're considering filing more lawsuits in other states; and
- We have initiated a campaign demanding that your State Attorney General take action now, which I'll tell you about momentarily...
Select Here Donate & Demand Mr. Obama Show Us the Truth!
You see, when Barack Obama officially entered the office of President, he became, in essence, a "pretender to the throne." According to the Constitution, only a "natural born citizen" can occupy the presidency.
Even though he was sworn in on January 20, 2009, Barack Obama is not legally the President of the United States, unless he can prove that he is a "natural born citizen."
What's more, every action taken by him while he occupies the White House may be invalid. If he cannot legally be President, every law passed by Congress will be null and void because the Constitution clearly requires that all laws be signed by the President ... and, without a legally elected and sworn in President in office, that becomes an impossibility.
Quite frankly, this crisis must be ended! And it must be ended now!
And that's just what we're fighting to do. The United States
Justice Foundation is spearheading a campaign to protect the United
States Constitution ... and your liberty.
Select Here Donate & Demand Mr. Obama Show Us the Truth! https://secure.conservativedonations.com/usjf_demand?a=2261
We have to press our case to stop Barack Obama from, apparently, illegally holding the Presidency, despite the ongoing threats against us. We are speaking of filing additional lawsuits and administrative actions, over and above the dozens already filed, if you will help us today.
I need your help right now in order to win this battle. We must raise the needed funds to continue our legal research, pay court costs and lawyer fees, and to contact all 50 State Attorneys General. Helping USJF with this campaign is your best shot, and, possibly your only chance, at finding out whether Barack Obama is legally holding the Presidency of our great nation, or whether he is a fraud, a usurper!
My friend, please take action immediately. Please FAX all 50 State Attorneys General and please send to me your best possible gift to help USJF stop Barack Obama from continuing his apparent theft of the Presidency!
FAX All 50 State Attorneys General To Investigate Obama's Fraudhttps://secure.conservativedonations.com/usjf_faxag?a=2261
Are you willing to see the Constitution shredded by the Left? Will you sit back and do nothing while a foreign-born person may be illegally occupying the White House as President of the United States?
We will not be intimidated. But we MUST have your help immediately if USJF is to survive this fight to the finish -- and if the U.S. Constitution is to weather this crisis intact!
Our country is on the fast track to disaster ... but you can help us keep the situation from getting worse. I pray that I'll hear from you today.
In His Name,
Gary Kreep, Executive Director
United States Justice Foundation
P.S. America has never before faced such a threat. Everything we hold dear is at risk with Barack Obama sitting as President without him releasing his actual birth certificate. Please, send in your best possible gift today!

"The one thing that none of us can stop is the passage of time, so why stress about something you cannot change?" says me!
Featured here in a back garden in Jersey, in the English Channel Islands are Bill and Vera Inman showing off the last of their four surviving children, little Antony. (Yes that's moi).
Although apparently I was a mistake (not wrong there!), Dad said I was a welcome one. (Boy did that cost them!)
So here we are, half a century later – where did it go?
Well if ever had any silly thoughts of dread at the prospect of being called an "old git" etc, I have only to think back of a few friends who have not been fortunate enough to live as long as I have, whereupon I can immediately replace that negative thought with a positive one.
In my lifetime, I've seen decimalisation, the replacement of 'black and white' TV's with colour ones, and now digital ones. We've gone from computers the size of a room and telephones with annoying ringtones to tiny half-pocket-sized phones that access the internet with annoying ringtones!
We've gone from 'no pill' (at least that was my Dad's story) to 'morning after' and 'implant' contraceptives.
I watched Sir Matt Busby, George Best and Bobby Charlton pick up the European Cup and I've seen Sir Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville do the same.
I can remember the days when there were ha'penny chews, a can of coke was six pence and kids gave up their seats for adults on buses.
Those were the days when drugs were only dispensed by chemists, you could leave your house unlocked and even leave your keys in the car!
Those were the days when a naughty kid got a whack from their parents and the worst swear word a kid would say was 'bloody'. We had respect for our teachers, did as we were told and grew up with a work ethic.
A person in trouble would be helped without a second thought – it was heartwarming to see images of a return to that kind of human compassion and community spirit during our recent floods and bushfires.
Look, obviously it wasn't all as rose-coloured as my (no doubt imminent) spectacles will reveal through the haze of nostalgia, but I certainly feel as if I have lived through priviledged times.
Bill and Vera (my wrinklies) lived through World War 2. Dad was starving on Malta while the Gerries bombed it 23 hours a day. I lost count of the number of times I heard about how they had to crack open the biscuits and let the weevils crawl away, so they could eat the biscuits. Mum had ration coupons in Chester. They starved, so I had to eat everything on my plate (even the green beans) or I wouldn't get my stodgy Northern pudding!
That's why I've struggled to re-learn that it's OK to not stuff your face with stodge!
As my parents subsequently became hoteliers, who adored escaping for well-earned breaks to fantastic destinations, I have been fortunate enough to follow in their footsteps with a love of travel and tourism. They were also very goal-oriented people with decent, ethical values and, luckily for me, a belief in education.
So what have I learned? Well I could dribble on all day – after all, I'm becoming like my mother and find myself explaining to bemused shop assistants why I needed to buy that 'whatever' product, then finding common ground and engaging in lengthy conversations with random strangers!
I also have ear hairs, nose hairs and rampant eye brows. Football injuries take longer to heal and as Billy Connolly (whom I saw in his very first Parkinson interview) likes to explain, I make strange grunting noises when I bend down to pick things up.
Nevertheless, to race towards my conclusions and life-changing, inspirational words of wisdom for you young whippersnappers out there, I still believe that you can choose how you feel about things, you can do things, if you think and believe you can, plus – and this is a biggie- life is definitely too short to take it for granted.
I read a great quote today by a man called Fred Smith – "Things are to own and people are to love, rather than things to love and people to own."
It is a no-brainer to remember just how important family and friends are to us all. If you don't have any friends – try harder – be a friend to others.
I'm a firm believer in building a list of dreams and goals and working your way through them. The only person really ever holding you back is you.
I saw a documentary where a mountaineer called Chris lost a leg in an accident. His friend had just climed Everest, taken a stone from the top and challenged Chris to put it back. Despite having an artificial leg, despite contracting altitude sickness and having to go from close to the summit back down to basecamp, get slightly better and go again, despite spending a night in a tent in a howling gale and a snow storm, despite crossing a ladder over a crevasse with sheer drops below him, Chris prevailed through absolute determination and focus. The one-legged man climbed Everest.
So if he could do that, what can we do?
I don't know about you guys, but my 'bucket list' of stuff to do is just getting longer and longer. (Things to do before you kick the bucket!)
I went from being a guy who couldn't open his eyes underwater to last August diving 60 meters down to the stern of the WW2 shipwreck of the USS Coolidge in shark-inhabited waters. I achieved a long overdue goal of flying a Tiger Moth bi-plane with the wind in my face. I sold my backpackers business and nearly moved to Bali and nearly bought a resort in the South Pacific; I finally got around to finishing my first novel – soon to be published.
This year, I'm going to revalidate my Pilot's Licence; learn ballroom dancing; run the Round the Bridges and City to Surf (thus reversing the effects of that Northern stodge!); raise money for shark and whale shark conservation; market my novel and write a second book; play tennis and volleyball; Jo and I are also going to dive in Borneo.
In 2012 we're planning to do the Machu Picchu trail (before those unfit grunting noises become too deafening!).
I'm going to fit in learning another language and all kinds of stuff that will prove that I'm certifiably mad.
So whatever floats your boat, don't leave it too late…the things you may regret are the things you didn't do! Definitely, don't let lack of money, the age people say you are, or your irrational fears get in the way.
Until next time, be the person to whom you aspire, do what is necessary to become that person and you can have the rewards of a fortunate life.
Ok if you don't reach the destination, at least you'll enjoy the journey more…

You guys are great!.
As you know, I tried W4 R3 earlier and it was a bit of a disaster. At the end of run 3 I came over all nauseous and it basically brought my whole day down. It was not the way I wanted to end my W4 and begin W5.
I have been mulling it over on and off all day and your good advice about me being silly and not eating prior to an 11am run and going too quickly really helped me get out of my slump.
So.....I tried again. Just now.
This time, I shed the long sleeve top and the baseball cap and went for a short sleeve T-shirt and locks to the breeze.
And I went slooooooowwly.
I was slower than a slow thing from the planet slow who took out his dog, Cigarette. His dog's got no legs, so every morning he's taken out for a drag (boom, tish - I'm here all week folks!)
I don't advocate repeating a run twice in day to anyone. I know that sounds hypocritical having just done the self same thing but my knees are telling me off right now and I am going to make the most of the next two rest days but my head was in a bad place and the cobwebs had to go.
The lack of baseball cap was the clincher. I was in so much of a better frame of mind, I found my rhythm, I went slow and steady and was very nearly dissappointed when I had reached the end.
The baseball cap and I are going to have a quiet tete-a-tete and he may see the error of his ways. We'll see.
The mood has gone and week 5 is something to look forward to again.
Thanks again guys.

Bono chooses Grace over Karma
"I'd be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I'd be in deep s---. It doesn't excuse my mistakes, but I'm holding out for Grace. I'm holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don't have to depend on my own religiosity." - Bono

Wow, great comment. Maybe he could pass his thoughts on to our reigning out of control narcissistic president and all his lying cronies.

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The above 4 questions were in an article promoting Rotary Club activity. According to the writer, these 4 ideas are the foundation for Rotary and I feel like these are 4 good questions to ask about my own activities. So, I'll make this my New Year resolution, to think before acting whether it be posting on Facebook or something of larger magnitude.

Sing it out LOUD!7:27:00 PM
Ever since I was a child I'm already a member of a choir. Can it be at church or at school, any organizations, as long as I can express myself through music.
I may not have the most beautiful voice but I'm proud to always feel what I sing. And when I do together with my choir members or even just my friends I sing out loud with all my heart. Through music, you can express what you feel. Through the songs that you play or sing, you can say what you can't tell to someone you love.
Singing is what makes me LOUD.
Check out this video of Tommy Hilfiger's commercial of its new scent LOUD.

Alright y'all. I promise from this blog on, I am going to try to write more often. Its just that creatively, I am stifled by the 6 walls of my dorm-room-with-a-stove-style apartment. And while I basically ramble on in these posts about my first-time experiences and my general distaste for all those mundane NY things like bus rides, roaches, and trains lately I've just been numb to it all. Walling it up inside, which leads me to me to another first.
I made an appointment to go to the doctor. Thankfully that process in itself wasn't painful because someone I know was nice enough to recommend someone close by, with a parking lot. So, I go to this doctor's office for just a general checkup. I had been having a rough day, it was week 3 (which means there's a drop in the level of hormones I am getting from my birth control), and I probably hadn't talked to a person face to face in 48 hours. I get to the doctor's and I am patiently waiting and she takes me back into her office. I began filling out the forms and it overwhelmed me. The forms asked me to list a few things: Close relative in case of emergency--nobody, significant other--nobody, who to call in case you have a mental breakdown in my office--nobody. Okay, so the last one wasn't really on the forms, but lets call that a foreshadow.
So I filled out the paperwork and I could just feel a lump rising in my throat as I considered the fact that I could die in my apartment and no one would know until I didn't answer my office phone for about a week. That took me over the edge, the tears just started flowing and my chest started heaving. I frantically patted my eyes and cleared my throat so as to look semi-normal or at best "sick" when the doctor came back into the room. Yeah, I wasn't that good at hiding the fact that I was crying when she asked "Are you crying?" And I burst into a full-blown sob. I've never cried in a Doctor's office. Not even when they told me I had a tumor that could be cancerous and proceeded to cut me open and remove a few organs. Still didnt cry. Though it wasnt cancerous, and I hurt something REALLY bad, I never cried actually...but I digress. Anyway.
I immediately apologized and told her that I am not sick, I am just frustrated and alone. Until that moment, I had never really admitted it to anyone. Yes I am an only child and am used to entertaining myself, yes I am known to be somewhat of a loner, only really close to a few people, but here and now I'm just alone, thus lonely. I don't even have my dog, let alone someone I would consider a real friend here. But anyway, I explained the situation (the job, leaving the midwest, not knowing one person when I got here and leaving my life as I knew it) and the Doc was understanding. She's not from NY either. Her advice, in short, was to leave.
The Doc pointed out that while yes, the economy is bad and I've only been here 3 months (103 days to be exact), and I love the job, my happiness and mental stability might be at risk if I stay. She also pointed out that I must not be adjusting very well if I am in her office having a mental break down about a non-medically related issue and I'm otherwise young and healthy. She had more than made her point. However, I am not so sure I am sold on it. I'm not happy that's for sure, but I guess I am not sure that I am UNhappy either. I make good money, I live for free (relatively) I can do and see just about anything I want to. I just don't know if having those amenities with nobody to share them with is worth it. I am over the fact that everyone here treats you like crap for the most part, but it might be better received if I didnt come home to an empty dorm room. I also don't want to be a quitter, but I am giving it effort with seemingly no results.
Now don't misunderstand me. I do have some friends. My gay friend (leave it to me to find the gays) and I are very cool, but I gotta be real I'm never finding any new friends (or a man) when we are trolling the bars on Christopher street. I am not trying to hang out with people in Jamaica, I don't have a bulletproof vest-though its on my Christmas list. I don't have a family here so people with kids and I don't have that much in common. I mean I can hang with a few people in Brooklyn, but commuting over an hour each way,again alone? There are just no happy medium people like myself, that live in Queens or close to me, that are not rude, that have their lives together--bka are in school/graduated, have legit jobs, etc. (prior to this experience, I would never say I'm a "medium," but whatever). I recognize that there is growth in discomfort, however, if growth means I become an inconsiderate biotch because I'm adjusting to the "culture" I'm happy to be stagnate. I'm from a student affairs background. Learning how to meet people is like a CLASS we had to take. I know what to do, however, that's not working here.
I dont know y'all. Is it worth it?

We went to the library today to see a performance by the Victoria Story Theatre Company. They were wonderful as usual!
When we arrived we were given tickets to fill out for 2 door prizes that would be drawn and passed out at the end of the show.
Emma won the first prize! They gave her a bag filled with a pencil, a sharpener, 2 little toys, a c.d. with poems and music by Dennis Lee {a childhood favorite of mine} and 5 different books, including a book about the ocean with pop out pieces to play with {anything to do with the ocean is always a hit} and one by Roald Dahl {we love him}.
Bergen won the second prize - 4 tickets to see The Remarkable Emily Carr at the Chemainus Theatre!
The children were very grateful and excited and have been looking through Emma's bag of treasures ever since we got home.

LOSS of CONSORTIUM
Texas, as well as many other states allow for the Spouse or Parents of a victim to claim "Loss of Consortium" in a personal injury lawsuit. Loss of Consortium for a spouse can generally be defined to include the mutual right of the husband and wife to that affection, solace, comfort, companionship, society, assistance, and sexual relations necessary to a successful marriage. Whittlesey v. Miller, 572 S.W.2d 665 (1978). Although, initially reserved for spouses in personal injury lawsuits, loss of consortium has been construed to apply to parents as well for the loss of companionship and affection of their children due to a personal injury. These claims do not show up too often in personal injury suits and are usually reserved for wrongful death or catastrophic injury cases.
Loss of consortium claims are easier to understand in the form of a hypothetical situation. Say your spouse is driving home from work one day and an 18 wheeler crashes into your spouse after running a stop sign. Your spouse suffers tramatic injuries that leave them paralyzed as a result. Your spouse routinely did things around the house like taking out the trash, laundry, dishes, mowing the lawn and fixing things that would break before the accident. Your spouse can no longer do any of those things. Additionally, because of the paralysis your spouse can no longer have sexual relations with you. Your marriage and relationship with your spouse has been detrimentally affected as a direct result of the other driver's negligence. Therefore, you as a spouse are entitled to make a claim for loss of consortium.
Originally, Loss of consortium under the common law was tied only to loss of sexual relations. But in recent years it has had a broader application under Texas case law. Now it expands to many more emotional and intangible aspects of marriage. If you find yourself in a similar situation as the hypothetical above, make sure you ask your attorney if you have a possible claim for loss of consortium.

I've always been someone who strived for the things I wanted. For years I went through huge amounts of stress that I wouldn't be able to make it--I even got married (much too early, in my own opinion) just to get out of the house--and away from my alcoholic father who attacked me when I was 16--
It's not that I had a BAD life, mind you--there are plenty of folks out there who've had a lot worse lives than I've had, but nothing has ever come easy for me. I've had to work--and work hard to get the things I've wanted and needed--made sacrifices here and there. I am not "pretty", and many people who base their decisions on how pretty the other person is, won't even give me a second look. So I tell my son, who is NOT unattractive, but has never taken good care of his teeth or basic hygiene, that he's going to have to do better, work harder and strive more if he ever wants to get anywhere in this world. I expect that pretty people often need to do the same, but not to the degree that uglies do.
He frustrates me because he doesn't try. He wants all his troubles to just go away, and figures that if he ignores them, they will...or that if he just waits long enough, mommy or grandma will "take care of it" for him. This Christmas is no exception. His car is broken and undrivable--and he expects mommy to take care of it, even though the car has been "groaning" for the last year or more.
Well, Mommy always has good ideas and the ability to come up with the "way" to "fix things". I could call my father-in-law, and have him take the car dolly and pick up the car (where ever it might be), and take it
But I got to thinking about all that, and how I was still trying to assuage my own feelings by helping him solve his problems, when at 30 years old, he should be solving his own. I figured that maybe I should just keep my sorry nose out of it and let him sink--because he WILL sink, deeper into this ocean that he's created for himself.
This is my only son, my only child. The only thing I have to offer the future. And I am horribly disappointed in how he behaves. I fear for him daily. I cry crocodile tears because there is literally nothing that I can do or say that will convince him that it's HIM that needs to change. Even his grandmother, who has always loved him to a fault, is now agreeing with me, that she can now "see" what it was that I have been complaining about all these years. My whole life has been about shaping and directing and offering up a good example of how it is and how he needs to be in order to have a life in this world today.
Now, don't for a minute think that I don't know that things have really changed in this world. I know exactly when that happened. But my son seems to strive for the things that turn out to be the most hurtful--and works hard to be the most UNLIKE me that he can be. Now, he's saying that he's going to join the National Guard--and it's not that I don't believe it would be good for him, maybe it would--but he's already TRIED the Army--they kicked him out. He is not military--no matter how much he thinks of me as a "drill sergeant". He is far too oppositional and defiant to cow-tow to chain of command. Further, *I* don't want him in Iraq, where he would be the first one to jump in front of someone's bullet--not to save a life, but to end his own.
Okay, so he's depressed, he's got ADHD and ODD, and his brain chemistry is likely totally screwed up because of his use of pot--otherwise, though, he's a good kid. He's had a couple of bad breaks along the way--stupid decisions that got him landed in jail...but the use of pot has REALLY hurt him, and he doesn't see it.
Now, you can tell me that Pot is not addictive until the cows come home, I won't believe you. I have known too many people who smoke pot (I do not, and never have, and never will), and they are all screwed up in one way or the other, because of decisions that they've made while "under the influence". Of all the drugs, I think pot is probably the one most responsible for brain-chemistry problems in the Gen-X crowd born of the baby boomers. My son's father did smoke pot--he quit, in order to date me--but how does the average user know (and I mean really *know*) what that drug does at the chromosomal level? We know that it reduces motility--makes those little polly-wogs lazy and stupid enough to swim the wrong way! Come on! You can't convince me that it hasn't "done damage". They even tell mothers not to smoke or drink while pregnant. Gee, go figure? My son keeps telling me it's no worse than alcohol. Proponents of pot keep pushing for legalization. Frankly, having had an alcoholic father, you can probably guess my stance on THAT argument! Unfortunately you cannot legislate what a person does in their own home...unless they are a danger to themselves or to others. My father turned out to be a danger to me...my son is a danger to himself. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
So, because there is really no good answer, I sit in my chair and I cry. I pray. I hope for a miracle, because that's what it's going to take. I can't convince him of the damage he's done and still doing to himself. He cares more about smoking pot than he does about his life or his future. I will not have the joy of grandbabies, and would fear for their lives if he DID have children--you know how it is--you hope that they have one JUST LIKE the errant child you had...it's grandparent's revenge...but I hope (should I ever have a grandchild, which it gets more unlikely as time wears on), that he doesn't have one just like him. He would say "oh, you want one JUST LIKE YOU". Well, as far as drive and determination, and the fortitude to say "no" to those things which are going to affect your ability to pursue a future for yourself...yes, of course I would...even at the risk of having no friends because you think they're stupid--even to the point of having to turn your back on the one person in your life that you love the most. Yes, definitely, strive for being better--because it's the only thing that will stand you in good stead in the world in your future! Finish School. Get good grades. Go to College. Get good grades there, too. Pick a good career for yourself--something that you enjoy doing EVERY DAY, and something that will make you a ton of money---because while money can't buy happiness, it can rent it. Do whatever you have to do to make sure that you are capable of making ends meet, and of making the children you bring into the world protected and safe from those who would do them harm. Stay away from dabbling in those things that would seek to destroy all that which your parents would want for you, and what you would want for your own kids. There's a damn good reason why, and it's not just because your parents have "been there done that". It's because once you've made a bad decision, it's really hard on you having to live with it, and sometimes that hardship lasts the REST OF YOUR LIFE. You might not think that one pull on that marijuana cigarette will hurt you. You might not think attending that party where the smoke was so thick you end up with a "contact high" would be a bad choice for your future.
But what if it is? Are you really so willing to take that chance? I mean, set aside how you think your parents are so anal and just want to control everything you do, and look at it from your own perspective--do you really want to take the chance of messing up all you have to hope for? And if I must be a parent in this (simply because I am), do you really think that your parents won't cry for all the lost opportunities and hope and happiness you could have had in your life, that you threw away by taking that chance and making that bad decision. Parents KNOW...(well, most of them anyway). They want what's best for you, but you have to want some of those things for yourself, too, because they can't always give those things to you, but can only "direct" you or point you in the direction you need to go in order for you to achieve those things for yourself. They hope to be a good example, and when you fall down and skin your knees, don't even let the thought that they don't cry for you cross your mind. They do cry.
They really do.
Yesterday's card was the 10 of pentacles. Tied up in family matters (hmmm...couldn't tell that one could you?).
Today's card is the Ace of Swords Reversed--upright, it talks about having the fortitude to carry on and move forward gung ho! The hard truth is that sometimes, in order to really help somebody, you have to stand back and let them fall apart. Normally, I am the upright thinker, solver, overcomer, analyzer. The card reversed tells me to stand back, and NOT take those actions, as I finally decided late in the day yesterday--this sort of inaction cuts me to the quick--and hurts me to distraction, because of course, there is my only child, who I love, who is having trouble, who I can "help". I am quite capable of "fixing" the problems. But for him to grow, he has to fix the problem HIMSELF.
I just don't believe that my "help" is really helping anymore. I don't think that he's paid attention to everything I've done for him in the past. I don't believe that he cares enough about himself to take matters into his own hands and fix it himself. And so I am stabbed to the heart wth the Ace of Swords reversed.
I hope that tomorrow is a better day.

LETHBRIDGE - The Lethbridge Hurricanes erased a two goal deficit heading in the third period as they stormed back to beat the rival Medicine Hat Tigers 8-4 Friday night at the ENMAX Centre.
The Hurricanes struck first in this game when Adam Henry scored his 5th goal of the season for Lethbridge in front of a packed house at the ENMAX Centre to give the Canes a 1-0 lead. The visitors though would get back on to even terms not too long after that. Just over a minute later, Matt Staples scored for Medicine Hat, tying the game at 1-1. The Tigers would soon after take the lead for the first time when Hunter Shinkaruk would score his first of the night to give the visitors a 2-1 lead. Before the end of the period though, Lethbridge would get things back to even terms when Brady Ramsay put home his 13th of the season to tie the games at 2-2 after 20 minutes of play. Medicine Hat out shot the Canes 18-13 in the period.
In the second, the Tigers regained the lead early when Myles Koules' shot beat Ty Rimmer to give Medicine Hat a 3-2 lead and then the visitors would strike again, this time a shorthanded goal as Curtis Valk would put Medicine Hat ahead 4-2. The Tigers would take that two goal lead into the dressing room after 40 minutes. Shots were 30-25 Tigers.
In the third, the comeback kids would rally in a big way. Just 17 seconds into the period, Brady Ramsay would knock home his 2nd of the night and 14th of the season to cut the Tigers lead to 4-3. Right off the face-off at centre ice, just 13 seconds later the Canes would come down and tie the game. Josh Derko would knock home his 7th of year and just like that, the game was tied up at 4-4. 2:30 after the tying goal, Derko would give the Hurricanes the lead with his 2nd of the night at 8th of the season to give Lethbridge a 5-4 lead. The Canes kept it coming when the red hot Tyler Wong snapped home his 6th of the season to give the Hurricanes a 6-4 lead. That would cap off a span of 4 goals in just under 10 minutes. The Hurricanes kept it coming in front of the sold out home town crowd, when team-leading scorer Russell Maxwell scored his 22nd goal of the season to put the Hurricanes into a 7-4 lead. The home team would light the red lamp would final time in the final seconds of the game with a goal from Captain Graham Hood and the Hurricanes would skate away with an 8-4 win. The strong 3rd period would have the Hurricanes out shoot the Tigers 45-35 overall. The Canes went 0/5 on the power play while Medicine Hat finished the game 1/7. The victory improves the Hurricanes record to 28-33-3-7 on the season. A win in their final game of the season Saturday would equal the Canes win total of last season.

While I was at conference last week, I had the opportunity to visit an aquarium. Actually, it was part of our conference to mix and mingle at an aquarium after hours. It was heaven for science people to get to walk around with wine, beer, or soda and snacks and chat with other science people and admire the creatures without the general public being there too. It was like watching children in adult bodies as we marveled at the different fish and critters! I'm sure I heard several shrieks of joy and laughter as we explored the aquarium. It is definitely an experience I will cherish for years to come!
At the aquarium, I fell in love with the lionfish. They are so unique and one in particular was so friendly (can fish be "friendly?") and photogenic! So today's learning topic is the lionfish and I can share some of my photos from the aquarium with you. 🙂
Lionfish are native to the central and western Pacific Ocean and the Red Sea. I was suprised to learn that this beautiful fish with the flowy pectoral fins is venomous. It's stings are very painful for humans and other creatures but the stings usually aren't fatal. Lionfish have 18 doral needle-like fins! Fortunately for other sea creatures, these fins are strictly defensive and aren't used to attack. Lionfish are about 12-15 inches long and weigh up to 2.5 pounds. They rely on their camoflauged appearance and speed to capture their food (mostly shrimp and smaller fish). Lionfish are known to be hostile toward other fish and humans. They have became an invasive species in some areas (especially in the Carribean and western Atlantic Ocean) and efforts are being made to control the population. In 2010, Florida began issues licenses for divers to kill lionfish and many groups are organizing hunting expeditions to help control the invasive species. Although it is venomous, the lionfish can be eaten by humans if cooked properly. Don't worry little Lionfish, I don't eat fish. 😉
