A magnificent and elegant restaurant featuring the finest oriental cuisine. Ray Leung, the owner proudly promises the highest quality food at astounding affordable prices.
Went here for a Father's day dim sum lunch. At the front counter area I approached the hottess and asked how long of a wait for a table. She asked how many people and I told her 4 adults and 2 children. She said in a moment. So I told the rest of my group that they should unload via text and they started to come. When they all arrived which was around 3 mins, another host stated that they have no room and that the wait will be at least 30 mins. I mentioned that I talked to the hostess and she said in a moment. He said that it will be 30 mins or more and there is nothing he can do. They have poor communication between the staff. She should have asked the other staff to clarify if they had room before I had the family come in. Was not impressed with their customer service. Will not be returning to this restaurant.
This place is tucked away at the edge of Port Coquitlam. It is packed on weekends and at lunchtime. The have reasonably-priced dim-sum and weekday lunch specials for under 8 dollars. The deep fried squid with chillies, salt and pepper is tasty, and the pan fried chow mein noodles with soy sauce are smoky and salty. I was a little dissapointed with the fung zhou (chicken feet) which would have been better in a spicy sauce. They have lots of other tasty dim-sum favourites. Most dim-sum is in the $2.50 - $3.75 range depending on size, with some chef special menu items around $4.95. The booths are a little small, but I think they weren't designed for "gwei-lo".
It is about average price but the quality is very good. Plus it is close to shopping. Highly recommended!
We've been here several times and given that this location is located in the port coquitlam there aren't that many places that one can go for dim sum.
The prices here are affordable compared to Kirin, however the quality is a bit worse, but not to a point where it's no good. Food is average but you do get what you pay for.
It is a bit far for people living in Vancouver to come here. However for people living in the tri-cities, this one is definitely an option to consider.
Went to this restaurant again not going there for about a year. I had always been impressed with the food, but was more impressed this time. The cost has increased slightly, from $2.50 to $2.75 for most of the dishes, but it is a pretty small increase.
We ordered lots of dishes and they all came out pretty quickly. What I was most impressed with was the quantity of each dish. Har Gow and Sui Mai were pretty standard sizes and good, but the chicken's feet were absolutely huge!!! There must have been about 6 or 7 of them in a dish, and not tiny ones like they serve at other places. The sticky rice in lotus leaf was also very big, they actually give you 3 of them, instead of 2, like Kam Ding, where I have been going to for the past year.
Also, they had woo gok (deep fried taro balls), which I haven't seen in other dim places I have been too. We also ordered a plate of jellyfish and pork hock..one of my favourite cold plate combos...turns out my 3 1/2 year old son likes jellyfish..go figure. It was very tasty.
Service was very quick and efficient, they even gave us water when we requested it.
Definitely recommend this place and will be back soon.
Went for dim sum with a group of friends. Typical chinese restaurant decor and service. I'll give them a benefit of a doubt for the borderline rude service because they were packed. So packed that you barely feel the ac in the air.
My real concern here is with the food. Mainly the quality control of the food. They served us sour dim sum. The raddish cake (lo bak ko) is clearly overdue for a trip to the dumpster and yet it was on our table. You could smell the sourness let alone tasting the sourness. Unfortunately there is nothing on the menu that is outstanding either to pull this bad taste out of the "poor" rating.
I love dim sum and was told Rainbow Butterfly was a great local place that was clean and had great food. Very true!
However I was also told the owner can be unfriendly and even rude at times. I hadn't experienced that until I decided to take my international student from Beijing there as a going away meal to share together. First we decided to have seperate orders - we like different things. Apparantly that was a problem for the owner. He definately made it known to me and anyone within earshot that "we didn't need to order this way" and he was angry about it. His voice was raised and I felt extremely uncomfortable at the tone of his voice and look of anger on his face. I quickly apologized for not knowing this would be an "issue" and how I didn't realize that using 2 seperate order forms was a no no. A very nice waiter came to me and quietly told me not to worry and that it was completely ok. The owner removed the 2 seperate order forms and demanded I just use one.
Then when it came time to pay again an issue. I had recently got a debit card with a chip in it and mistakenly removed the debit card from the machine too early. I apologized again feeling uncomfortable because once again I could see he was angry and loosing quick patience. He didn't say a word and even when I apologized a second time I was ignored and he turned his back to us when we said thank you and goodbye.
Rude,rude,rude behavior and such arrogance. It really is too bad because this is a nice place to eat but who would feel comfortable eating in an environment when at any moment the owner will come to your table to basically yell at you? I don't cause a scene when I go out - I know how to behave in a restaurant setting - I'm a mature adult. I just strongly feel Ray needs to leave his attitude and lack of people skills at home. If he wants to run a business then he needs to be a people person - get some social skills Ray. People DO talk and word spreads. I was warned about you yelling at a coworker of mine for not hearing you call them to their table.She USE to come to your restaurant and will no longer go to it because of how they were treated.
Do I recommend this place? Take out is the best option unless you like to walk on glass and take your chance sitting inside with Ray Leung.
I've driven by this place many times and always thought that it is a paint store. Last Saturday, I decided to give this place a try.
First impression was quite good. The place was packed and looked alive. We ordered the usual...chicken feet, siu mai, har kow, sticky rice. We were surprised that everything was well prepared and tasty. The selection was quite good too. They don't have the dim sum carts so you have to mark your selection on a piece of paper and the waiter will bring your order. Aside from the deep fried spring rolls which took over 1/2 hour to come out, everything else was served in a timely manner. If you like dim sum, I would definitely suggest that you give this place a try.
Service is solid, nothing to complain about. and the same for ambience. Value is good too. It cost us $35 before tip for the 4 of us and we ordered quite a bit. This place is definitely a good find.
Visiting from Ontario, I searched for a dim sum restaurant in the Coquitlam area. Having come across the previous reviews here, we decided to have our large group of 12 eat here. The restaurant accommodated a reservation that made an hour and a half prior to our arrival. We found the restaurant easily with the reference points (behind Starbucks drive-thru).
The food was excellent and everything was fresh, crisp and flavourful. No cheapie small portions nor fishy, previously frozen stuff here. All was freshly prepared and delivered to the table piping hot.
The restaurant clearly was a 'Western' family restaurant before so the decor and furnishings reflected this. However, the place was clean, warm and uncluttered. It was not suffering from the typical Chinese restaurant malaise where decor is an afterthought.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
Went here for lunch with my boyfriend after a day of shopping. The food was very tasting, and really, really good portion sizes for the price. We ordered 4 things to share, and that we were extremely full at only $12 for the two of us. We gave a big tip because we just loved the food and were happy with the amount we got for the amount we paid. I was amazed. The service was good as well, and the feel of the place was nice. I will definitely come back!!
we went here for the first time on the weekend, it was crowded but got a table within minutes. We ordered 4 dishes including siu mie (steamed pork dumplings) they looked good, texture ok but when we bit into them the flavour was very simiilar to SPAM, I don't mind fried spam or the occasional fried spam sandwich but not with dim sum. We both thought they mixed the pork mixture with spam or maybe they put some ingredient into it that tasted like spam? We also had the steamed prawn roll up (lots of shrimp and delicious) steamed spareribs (a good sized portion), prawn toast (which was covered with sesame seeds, we weren't crazy with that dish) Cost was average. maybe we'll try some other dishes next time and see if the siu mie tastes different the next time, if it doesn't we won't be returning....
Rainbow Butterfly is tucked away behind a drive-thru Starbucks and is easy to miss if you're not sure where it is. Parking is a little limited I find, but I have never had a problem finding a spot. Inside the feel is somewhat "diner-ish" with a central corridor that houses pop cans and glasses and mostly booth-type tables. The dinner menu is not that extensive and choices are somewhat limited if you're used to huge menus at other Chinese establishments. What they do have though is top-grade and is neither too greasy nor too salty which sometimes plague other places like this one. Food is also prepared fairly quickly and comes to the table well prepared and piping hot. Dimsum is also very good, but be sure to make a reservation if heading out there on a weekend. Waits can sometimes be very long without one and even with a reservation you may need to wait awhile while tables clear out. Overall, a very good place for Chinese in the burbs.
Consistency in the food quality and taste is not there – I live a block away from this place that is why I kept coming back. The owner (apparently his name is Ray Leung) sits in the front desk and he is a very rude man, rude to customers, rude to employees. This is very well documented in several reviews about this place and his owner.
He got angry at me because I found his soup too spicy and he wanted no accountability on it, he made a scene in front of his customers that were trying to enjoy their lunch, then called a cook and started raising his voice at him while speaking Chinese and pointing at me, this is not China, this is Canada and your customers deserve respect…
POCO is a friendly community full of nice little restaurants that want and appreciate my business, so I am done with this place.
Have been ordering here for 6+ years! Hated giving him our $$$
Foods good, but at times inconsistent!
Are always shorted on "sauces"...no plum sauce for egg rolls, no soya s. etc...
Have had to wait to get food as they mixed up orders...
So "Happy" to have found a great Chinese place in PoCo! We tried many, finally found another one, "Happy" to give them our $$$
Went to this restaurant for the first time to try it out. Asked the manager couple questions about the menu and at first he answered but second time he became agitated and clearly annoyed to help out customer who is unfamiliar with the items offered. Talk about customer service! Had to practicaly shout and waved arms like crazy to get the attention to the servers. They don't seem to want to be there at all and just paid attention more to the chinese speaking customers.The food was not that great either, and for the price we paid $43 without tips (I dont see its worth of them being tipped) I rather spend my money to Kam Ding resto in Coquitlam or Kirin at Henderson Place. Enough said. Some people might like this restaurant without good service and good food, but I have sincerely learned my lesson and will be advising my colleagues the same.
I found it pretty hard to find a decent place for dim sum nowaday. Finally went here on a friend's recommendation. the price was fairly cheap comparing to the restaurants I went in Burnaby and Richmond. Food was okay and came pretty fast. Finally I don't have to spend 40 bucks at Kirin to try to get full. Come try!
Food is decent and cheap. Waiter and waitress are OK. Today, during the lunch time I went there for some dim-sums. But one of the dim-sum dishes got some undesired matter in it, and of course, I complained to the owner and he said that this kind of thing could happen in a 5 stars restaurant. How arrogant he was. He even didn't say sorry to me. This is not the way to do business and serve your customers. What I need was a word "sorry".
My family decided to eat at Rainbow Butterfly because of its interesting name. We were the first ones there. We ordered several dishes and found the food quite good. The store owner or manager was really nice and he treated with free sushi rolls and i don't remember seeing it on the [email protected]@"
When I walked in to pick up my order the host was alright, until I asked if I could get an extra sauce for one of the dishes. Then he appeared to get hostile. He very sharply in Chinese (with way more words than would be required to ask for a simple sauce) I assume insulted me and asked for another sauce. She then proceeded to walk past me and let one rip right behind me. Disgusting. She got the other sauce and then when I was halfway out the door, I remembered to ask how many soy sauce he put in the bag. He said there were none. When I asked for some, he stood there and glared at me for 5 seconds before going to retrieve 2. Two soy sauce for a $45 bill for dinner for 4. Ridiculous. Terrible Terrible Service!
Not to mention the food, which is laced with MSG and I can only assume food colouring, as it is bright in colour, but tasteless.
My husband and I have visited Rainbow Butterfly roughly 5 - 7 times through 2009/2010, with our most recent visit being today.
The food is YUM. We have ordered and enjoyed the following items: steamed shrimp dumplings; steamed shimp and spinach dumplings; pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings; gailan with oyster sauce; rice wrap (or roll?) with three kinds of mushroom -- (my personal favourite!); eggplant, tofu, and peppers stuffed with fish paste; seafood and pumpkin dumplings; Shanghai pork dumplings; and another type of pork dumpling that my husband really enjoys, but whose name I have forgotten.
There was only one time when I experienced something unpleasant during one of our visits, and that was a very slightly musty/moldy flavour to a bit of pumpkin in one bite of a seafood and pumpkin dumpling. I was a bit put off, but got over it, and have had nothing but positive experiences before and since.
As for the service, the folks at Rainbow Butterfly must have read the less than positive comments from other reviewers, because we have never experienced poor service. The person who we believe must be the owner, is always friendly and keeping an eye on things, the wait staff pick up the order forms quickly, and pick up empty dishes promptly. I admit that we were unsure when we went for the first time if we were going to feel welcome or if there was going to be a language barrier, as it seemed that most of the patrons and all of the staff were asian and conversing in another language, but this wasn't an issue. On the occassions when we would ask a staff member who didn't understand English well, that person who seek out another staff member who was fluent in English to assist us, and we appreciated that.
We have also always felt that the value of the food for our money was very good. We choose, on average, 6-7 dishes, including one or two "chef's selections" which are the slightly pricier items on the menu, and our bill has always been under $30. I would say it has always been between $23 and $28 before the tip.
We love going to Rainbow Butterfly for dim sum and look forward to our next visit.
There is a wide selection of very cheap and delicious dimsums. Spent $22 for 2 and we were stuffed. Shrimp dumpling, rice rolls are great. Its always busy for brunch and for good reasons.
Service is okay, no particular bad experience.
If you looking for a filling dimsum brunch that wont empty your pocket go to Rainbow Butterfly.

Prepared with chicken, chorizo, shrimp, clams, rice and vegetables, and that unmistakable saffron flavor, it is, indeed, the ultimate one-dish meal. So here's how to make paella, with all the traditional Spanish flavors you could want and none of the testy history. You'll thank me later.
What goes with Paella? Not much, just garlic bread and wine.
Everything else is already in it.
Traditional paella recipes call for a whole fryer chicken cut into pieces, but modern (or is it lazy?) me prefers boneless, skinless chicken thighs. You can do it either way. Also, if you don't have a paella pan use a large, shallow skillet. Or buy one.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 pound Spanish chorizo sausage, thick-sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground oregano or rosemary
2 teaspoons paprika
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, quartered
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup water
2 cups chopped onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups of white long-grain rice, uncooked
Pinch of saffron threads
4 cups chicken broth
1 28-ounce canned tomatoes, chopped
1 10-ounce package frozen peas, thawed
1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, quartered
1 pound shelled and deveined large shrimp
1 7-ounce can pimientos, cut into strips
24 cherrystone clams
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and brown. Remove the sausage, leaving the oil. Stir the salt, pepper, oregano and paprika into the reserved oil.
Dredge the chicken pieces in flour and add them to the skillet. Brown the chicken on all sides and remove from the pan. Stick it with the chorizo.
Reduce the heat to medium and sauté the onions and garlic until soft. Stir in the tomatoes, rice and saffron. Add the chicken broth, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Now add the chorizo, chicken, shrimp, peas and artichoke hearts. Toss lightly. (You can include the pimiento strips in with the toss or save them for a garnish on top.) Press the clams into the rice mixture. Continue cooking without stirring until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. If the rice is slightly toasted on the bottom when you're done, you have perfect Paella.
The Paella recipe serves 6 and it's very good with Garlic Knots.

Safe and Secure in Winter Storage
Yacht owners are mistaken if they assume that they don't need hull insurance to cover damage to their boats. During winter storage, there are a number of risks over which the vessel's owner often has no control. In addition to theft, fire is the most common cause of damage. Fires often lead to a total loss, even where the owner isn't responsible.
The events of the last several years show that this is not an excessively alarmist position. In Hamburg-Finkenwerder, eight vessels were severely damaged by fire. Arson is the suspected cause. In Bremen, some 40 boats were affected by a fire. The situation becomes particularly dicey where the winter storage contract contains a general waiver of recourse. If you encounter such a waiver be sure to inform your insurance company.
To put a stop to theft and arson, here are some tips:
- An outdoor storage facility should be fenced in.
- Lighting and night time security afford additional protection.
- If the boat spends the winter on a trailer, either take the wheels off the trailer or put it up on blocks. Otherwise, inflate the tyres to approximately 3 to 3.5 bar (45-50 psi) in order to prevent flat spots.
- Take valuables home that are not secured to the boat. Pantaenius offers insurance coverage for this as well.
- The cabin should be kept locked, otherwise burglaries are not covered.

Moving time: Volkswagen will change N.J. distribution centers
Volkswagen of America Inc., based in Auburn Hills, Mich., has signed a lease for a 928,000 sq. ft. build-to-suit distribution center in Cranbury, N.J. Cabot Industrial Properties, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boston-based Cabot Industrial Trust, is the developer of the project. Terms of the lease were not disclosed.
Construction of the center has begun, and occupancy is slated for third-quarter 2002. Volkswagen, which currently leases a distribution center four miles away in South Brunswick, N.J., will use the new center to distribute parts arriving from Europe.
The facility will feature 32 ft. clear ceiling heights, parking space for 100 trucks, cross docks and approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of office space. The entire center will be air-conditioned.
Kiferbaum Construction gets rolling on Sears warehouse
Kiferbaum Construction Corp., headquartered in Deerfield, Ill., has begun construction of an 819,960 sq. ft. distribution center in Manteno, Ill. Sears Logistics Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Chicago-based Sears, Roebuck and Co., will occupy the center. Partial completion is slated for fourth-quarter 2001.
The facility will feature an early suppression fast response (ESFR) sprinkler system, 146 loading docks and 35 ft. clear ceiling heights. Concrete aprons will surround the building to accommodate truck traffic and parking for 418 trailers. Kiferbaum also will install a water main and sanitary sewer to service future development.

BRICK TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Authorities in southern New Jersey say a woman drowned when the kayak she and her neighbor were riding in capsized on the Manasquan River.
Forty-nine-year-old Robin Hoffarth of Brick Township and another woman had gone out before dusk on Friday and were on their way back home when the kayak capsized around 10:30 p.m.
Hoffarth's 45-year-old neighbor, whose name was not disclosed, was able to swim back to shore and alerted her husband, who called police. The kayak was found about an hour later, and Hoffarth's body was found by divers around 12:40 a.m. Saturday.
Authorities were still trying to determine what caused the kayak to capsize.

Offa, King of Mercia, is historically recognized as the first King of England. Anglo-Saxon monarchs ruled from 787-1066, when King William I successfully invaded England and launched the Norman dynasty. This dynasty was succeeded by the Angevin dynasty, after Henry II assumed the throne in 1154. The Angevins were followed by the Plantagenets, the Lancastrians, the Yorkists and the Tudors. The Stuarts united Scotland and England in 1603, then gave way to the Hanoverians, the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and finally the Windsors.Continue Reading
Scotland and England had parallel monarchies until the two kingdoms were united by James I in 1603. Early Scottish kings did not closely follow rules of dynastic succession and rarely succeeded in consolidating meaningful power, so the first Scottish dynasty is typically recognized as the descendants of Malcolm III. This original dynasty was followed by the Bruces, the Stewarts and the Jacobite pretender dynasty after the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
The Act of Union in 1707 finally consolidated the constituent pieces on the larger British isle into the Kingdom of Great Britain. Although James I had formally inherited the throne of England in 1603, it was not until the passage of the Act of Union that the two monarchies agreed to form a single state.
The Windsor dynasty is currently in possession of the throne of the United Kingdom. As of 2015, the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth III, has been the Queen of England for 63 years.Learn more about Modern Europe

Your hip is a ball-and-socket joint, which allows bending and straightening of your body and movement of your lower limbs. The hip is one of the most commonly replaced joints, and osteoarthritis is the main reason for hip replacement surgery and other joint procedures. Other conditions, such as a traumatic fall, may also require the need for a hip replacement.
There are two types of total hip replacement: traditional and anterior approach. In both procedures, the ball (top part of the femur, or leg bone) and hip socket are replaced. What differs between these two procedures is the placement of the incision, which can be on the side or front (anterior) of your hip. Using computer-assisted surgery, our total joint experts can ensure the proper positioning of your hip implant.
Total hip replacement surgery involves making a 10- to 12-inch incision on the side of the hip. The muscles and tendons are detached from the hip bone and the hip is dislocated to allow access to the joint. This procedure is typically recommended for severe arthritis in which the bones of the hip joint painfully rub against each other.
During hip resurfacing, the hip socket (acetabulum) is prepared and replaced similar to a total hip replacement. Once the diseased cartilage is removed, a cup is press-fitted into place in the affected socket.
Instead of cutting off the arthritic femoral head of the thighbone, the surgeon leaves it intact. He simply reshapes and "resurfaces" the head with a metal mushroom-like cap that is secured in place with a type of bone cement.
Following hip surgery, you will go through several weeks of physical therapy. Working together, your doctor and therapist will customize a treatment plan for you and create a seamless continuum of care, from your initial diagnosis to surgery to recovery.
When you need a hip replacement, you are in good hands at Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group. If you are a candidate for hip replacement, our joint reconstruction specialists offer several approaches for this procedure. Your surgeon will determine which technique is best suited for you.

Dear Dr. Plotnick,
I have two domestic shorthair cats who are brother and sister. They will be 12 years old in April. The problem is that the female gets matted fur that I cannot remove unless I shave it off – which I am afraid to do. The mats do not seem to bother her, but they look uncomfortable. They are located on her chest area. Do you have any advice for me?
Bonnie L.
Dear Bonnie,
Longhaired cats are more prone to matted fur, but shorthaired cats can also have this problem. I would not attempt to shave the mats off by yourself if you feel apprehensive about it. And by no means should you attempt to cut them off using scissors. Hair mats often become tightly adhered to the skin, and I've seen many cases, unfortunately, where well-meaning cat owners attempt to remove the mats using a scissors and end up creating a huge laceration that requires surgery to repair. Matted fur is uncomfortable for cats, and tightly adhered mats predispose the cat to a skin infection. The technicians at most veterinary offices can clip these mats off for you. If the matted fur is widespread, a more practical option might be to have your cat's entire coat shaved, which might look better than having a cat with a multitude of bald patches. If your vet cannot do this type of grooming, I'm sure they can recommend a groomer who can.

I've always been a sucker for films made and set in the '80s. Growing up, I rooted for Daniel in "The Karate Kid," wished I had missed school with Ferris in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and rewound the ending scene of "Dirty Dancing" more times than I can count.
Therefore, it did not come as a surprise when I instantly fell in love with the Netflix original series "Stranger Things," which takes place in 1983 and 1984.
A notable show from its release on July 15, 2016, "Stranger Things" permanently changed popular culture. With its focal points being the significance of love and the value of resilience, the television program is an alteration to society that no one knew we needed until now.
"Stranger Things" accurately depicts social "cliques," expresses the benefits and struggles of all types of relationships, and restores the nostalgia you can only feel while watching an '80s film. It leaves you wanting to watch each episode again and again.
• Story continues below video
The Duffer Brothers, the show's creators, purposefully paid homage to 1980s genre films throughout the series, finding inspiration from the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Stephen King and George Lucas. Prominent references are made to Spielberg's "E.T. : The Extra-Terrestrial" throughout the show, what with a main character having the ability to move things with her mind, little parental supervision of children on display, and characters continually riding bicycles everywhere they go.
Do not fear, however, that this series is merely a copy of other individuals' genius. "Stranger Things" stands on its own with its incredible cast, most notably Winona Ryder and David Harbour, as well as its unpredictable plotline.
Rescue from 'Upside Down'
The drama begins with the disappearance of Will Byers, a middle-school-aged boy living in Hawkins, Indiana. His mother, brother, city police chief and three friends are determined to find him but have little luck. The task eventually becomes achievable, however, once Will's three friends are out searching in the woods late one evening and meet Eleven, a girl with telekinesis powers. Eleven is able to help the boys locate Will, who has been taken captive by a science-fiction-based monster into what the characters call "The Upside Down," another dimension of our world engulfed in utter darkness and death.
With this new information, Eleven, Will's closest family and his friends work together to rescue him from "The Upside Down" and prevent the monster, known as the Demogorgon, from entering our dimension and taking captives ever again.
It all may sound preposterous and incomprehensible, but, after all, it is called "Stranger Things." However, don't worry if you find yourself lost. Eventually, it does become conceivable — and enjoyable — once you make it through the show's first few episodes.
"Stranger Things" first season was a tremendous success; the show did so well that Netflix renewed the series for a second season, which was released Oct. 27 and contained nine episodes.
The second season was highly anticipated, with the first trailer receiving more than 1.5 million views on YouTube. Although I worried I would not enjoy the second season as much as I had cherished the first, I realized all my doubts and fears were in vain as soon as I saw the main cast take the screen, their acting skills superb and accurate as to how their characters had previously been portrayed.
The new season can be described as intense and thrilling, containing scenes that reminded me of the suspense used throughout "Jurassic Park." While it seems much has changed among the characters between the first and second seasons, the feeling of involvement and admiration for each person acting upon the screen remains with the viewer. To me, this season was actually better at going further in depth on Will Byer's and Barbara's families, especially concerning what the ordeals of the past season had caused the characters to experience and endure.
Celebrating what matters
As always, the soundtrack, cinematography, and acting talents were exceptional. If there is any fault with this new season, it would be the addition of new characters wanting to be included into the story as much as the main cast members. While I can see what the director and creators wanted to add to the show with these characters, I felt that some were unnecessary and took away time from the people you actually cared about and primarily watched the show to see.
However, even with this unwanted addition, "Stranger Things" season two is a must-see for all those who loved the first season, as well as for those who want to get in on the action.
If you fear you will not understand or enjoy "Stranger Things," I implore you to simply watch the installment and see what comes of it. You might be surprised to find that it is your new favorite television show; it certainly surprised me. It may be majorly popular among teenagers, seem too difficult or long to get into, or may appear as if it is generally geared for those intrigued by science-fiction, but, truly, it is not.
"Stranger Things" is about more than fighting monsters, overcoming rocket science and solving a mystery. It is about saving the only things that really matter in this world, as well as family and friendship. The love that the characters show for one another, as well as the affection the person watching the program feels as he or she observes each actor perform, is what makes "Stranger Things" so enjoyable.
If you try "Stranger Things," I hope you find the love, strength and inspiration that each character is meant to make you feel, whether they are battling the Demogorgon or telling a young girl who has been mistreated, abused and judged all of her life that she is truly beautiful.

Introduction of RNA Analysis Tools and Services to Open Huge Business Prospects in Transcriptomics Technologies
There has been a shift in the focus of pharmaceuticals companies towards targeted therapeutics. This has created a demand for disease-specific biomarkers, which in turn has created opportunities in commercializing transcriptome research outcomes. Transcriptome analysis tools and services help identify novel and potential drug targets.
Since long, the transcriptomes of stem cells and cancer cells have held the interests of researchers who strive to deeply understand how cellular differentiation or carcinogenesis take place. However, the area of study is expected to expand as researchers are now analyzing the transcriptomes of human embryos, which is expected to be a powerful tool for in vitro fertilization. Transcriptomics is thus, a technology that is continually growing in the field of biomarker discoveries and is extensively used to assess the safety of drugs.
According to a research report by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global transcriptomics technologies market will rise from US$1.65 bn in 2012 to US$4.6 bn by the end of 2019 expanding at a healthy CAGR of 15.90% between 2013 and 2019.
In this blog post, TMR answers three critical questions about the global transcriptomics technologies market:
Q. What are the latest trends in the transcriptomics technologies market?
The transcriptomics technologies market is currently witnessing the partnering of many software companies with life science equipment manufacturers. The partnership is done with a vision to introduce reliable and sophisticated software, which enables easy handling of huge volumes of research data. Thus, it is expected that there will be interdependence between the IT industries and life science equipment manufacturers.
Some of the partnerships and acquisitions between IT companies and life sciences equipment manufacturers include: The acquisition of Ingenuity Systems, Inc., based in the U.S. by Qiagen N.V., has enabled web-based applications to handle the growing volumes of research data. Likewise, DNAStar, Inc., a company headquartered in Madison, has entered into an agreement with Life Technologies Corporation to market its software.
Another trend, which is emerging in the market, is the mutual collaboration of pharmaceutical companies with research and academic institutions. The outsourcing of research in transcriptomics not only provides a good business opportunity to pharmaceutical companies, but benefits the diagnostic manufacturers as well. Such strategic moves are helping pharmaceutical and in-vitro diagnostics companies to reinforce their business presence and help increase their revenue generation.
Q. What are the challenges that the transcriptomics technologies market is expected to face?
The transcriptomics technologies market is expected to be inhibited by the rising difficulty in the management of complex data. Data complexity increases with the advancements in RNA analysis procedures. For instance, the analysis of the data acquired after the sequencing of multiple transcripts is expected to pose a major concern in transcriptomics research as it generates huge, unmanageable research findings or data.
Dearth of inefficient data analysis tools will be another challenge impeding the growth of the market. There are very few people who have expertise in the field of transcriptomics technologies. This lack of expertise is preventing the transcriptomics technologies market to grow freely.
Q. What does the future hold for transcriptomics technologies?
With the introduction of RNA analysis tools and services, the next generation sequencing platform, huge business prospects are expected to open in transcriptomics research. The increasing demand for precision medicine will lead to a growth in transcriptomics research and also increase the degree of its commercialization.
The current need for exploiting opportunities in developing novel drug discovery will give rise to assay technologies, multiplexed RNA quantification, and gene expression patterns of specific genes. Thus, the forthcoming era of transcriptomics research is expected to bring rapid advances in the field of drug discovery. As such, the price of new drugs is expected to reduce in the future and most importantly there will be elimination or reduction in the prospect of hypothesis failure.

This project is the kind that evolves on its own accord and before I knew it I was making a bag without really knowing how I got to that point! I saw a bag I kind of liked the look of but didn't want to buy, then saw that Stone Fabrics had some really lovely waxed cotton from Barbour at a reasonable price and thought it would be a nice alternative to a leather bag. I love the used look of this bag already and I know the more it gets used, the better its going to look!
I had already bought some beagle print fabric which I believe is also a Barbour fabric (not entirely sure about that!) which I had found from Crafty Baba's Ebay shop (it seems to be out of stock now but Guthrie-Ghani has some) and thought this would make a great lining. I then saw that there was a handbag pattern in issue 6 of Love Sewing magazine. Plans started coming together!
I veered slightly away from the pattern in that I put a zipped pocket in the back of the bag for essentials. I also used a magnetic closure because that was what I had. A friend had happened to give me a bag with a broken zip a few weeks ago because she thought it would be useful, and how right she was! I took all the hard wear for this bag from it and another broken bag I had squirrelled away. I was surprised at how easy it was to sew through the fake leather buckle strap bit. I had to unpick all the original stitching as it was cream, but it didn't take long to redo the top stitching then attach the strap to the front flap.
Sewing with the waxed cotton was really interesting and not as hard as I thought it was going to be, in fact it was really quite easy! I did try ironing it just to see what would happen (the wax melted, obviously!!). Because it is slightly sticky it did not need pins which was great although I did put a couple in and they didn't mark. I found the best thing for pressing the seams open was to run a knife along them and I also used the knife to mark the fabric.
The strap is my favourite part of this bag. I used the sliders I harvested from one of the bags to make it adjustable so I can wear it either as a shoulder bag or a cross body bag which I find is especially useful in the winter when straps slide off bulky coats. It was so easy to make but so satisfying!!
The construction of this was very straight forward and was a nice, easy bag pattern. I have made a few bags before but always tote style shopping bags with no closures. It did take while to make because there are quite a lot of pieces but I took my time and really enjoyed making it. The husband has just walked in and asked for one for him but "bigger and more like a man bag" so I guess I'm going to be making more bags in the future! Another thing to add to my Christmas sewing list....

Who Killed Scott Macklem?
Post #1: Misdirection
- Details
- Published: 08 February 2017
- Written by Barbara Kennedy
Author's Note: Every wrongful conviction causes dual torment: the torment of the innocent yet imprisoned individual, and the social torment that the actual perpetrator remains free. This blog focuses primarily on the latter, in the hope that we will gain more knowledge about the murderer of Scott Macklem.
Post #1: Misdirection
Scott Macklem was 20 years old when he was found shot to death in a parking lot at St. Clair County Community College on November 5, 1986. The man convicted in his murder did not have an opportunity or the means to carry out this crime. He was convicted based on what I am loathe to describe as circumstantial evidence, since it was actually hypothetical evidence, manufactured evidence, wild speculation, and copious references to the accused's "bad character." In fact, there is more than copious, actual evidence that this was a wrongful conviction. The wrongful conviction is another crime, which will be addressed in later posts. Suffice it to say, I'm convinced as is every legal scholar, independent law enforcement consultant and investigator who has looked at this case, that the person who killed Scott Macklem is still at large.
Scott was a 1984 graduate of Croswell-Lexington High School. He was popular, and a star athlete on the baseball and golf teams. At the time of his murder, he was taking general business courses at St. Clair County Community College. He missed his 8:00 a.m. gym class that morning. That wasn't particularly unusual, since his attendance at college had been irregular. What was unusual was when Scott was found, his gym bag lay next to his body. Why did Scott have a gym bag outside his car when he didn't go to his gym class?
There is broad speculation about what may have been in that gym bag. Had Scott fallen in with a bad crowd, one that used drugs? How deeply was Scott involved with that crowd? Was he involved in dealing? Was this the reason he was shot? Did Scott know the person responsible for his death? Scott had been working at a men's clothing store in Port Huron. He told his boss many months prior, in January or February of 1986, that he was being threatened by someone.
Scott's fiancée, Crystal, was expecting a child. When she was interviewed about Scott's murder, the police focused her attention on ex-boyfriends, or people who might be jealous of Scott because of his relationship with Crystal. She identified a man she dated briefly during a short period of time she was broken up with Scott during the Spring or Summer of 1986. Crystal's family did not like this man and never approved of her dating him. Crystal's sister, Tracy, hated this man and consistently encouraged her sister to point the finger in his direction. The investigation never focused on anyone else.
This man had never met Scott Macklem and had no reason to kill him. The jealousy motive was contradicted by evidence that the accused broke off his relationship with Crystal and thereafter, she pursued him, not vice-versa. He could not have been the one who threatened Scott in January or February of 1986, since he didn't meet Crystal until months after that. She would have been his only connection to Scott, and that connection was never made. Obviously, someone else was threatening Scott. That lead was never pursued by the police.
At the time of Scott's murder, the accused (and wrongfully convicted) man lived hundreds of miles away, was involved in a serious relationship with another woman, and was also expecting a child. That individual has spent 30 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Thank you, let's find Scott's killer!blog comments powered by Disqus

Dramatic Advances in the Kings of Leon–Ryan Murphy Peace Process
Murphy: "Who am I to say 'F--k you?'"
Ryan Murphy apologized! The backstory: The Glee creator called out Kings of Leon for not wanting their songs on the show, the band responded by suggesting Murphy purchase a bra, and then Dave Grohl came out of nowhere to tell Murphy to chill ("fuck that guy"). Murphy's main contention was that by saying no to Glee, bands were saying no to youth music education. Which, as he now admits in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, is a pretty ridiculous thing to say. In all seriousness, Vulture has to give Murphy a lot of credit for swallowing his pride and apologizing for his behavior, in a manner so believable it would make Chris Brown's head spin. The quotes in question:
I didn't speak with as much clarity as I would have liked. Who am I to say 'F--k you?' That's not what I meant. I completely understand when artists don't want a show or another artist to interpret their songs. In fact, I respect it. It's their personal work and I'd feel the same way. We get turned down all the time and I've don't fight it or even go back after a rejection ... I've never felt that if you don't give Glee your music, there's something diabolical about you. To the contrary: I support artists and what they choose to do... I think Kings of Leon are cool as shit. The Foo Fighters are brilliant. We'd love to do one if their songs, if they were ever interested. But if it's not their thing, then OK. I personally wish them luck will still listen to their music.
Also crucial from THR's story: Recently, Björk politely declined the usage of one of her songs on Glee. Which one?!!

Design me a Product
Budget $1500-3000 USD
We are looking for someone who can make us an epoxy or resin that is used as a self-locking patch for fasteners. The patch is simply a small length of the fastener or screw, 3 to 6 threads where the epoxy or resin is brushed on and then cured so that when used it will become self-locking. The epoxy or resin needs to be able to withstand up to 250 degrees fereignheight and vibration and torque tests and reusibility. The epoxy may need to be clear because we may need to dye it a certain color. It should look and be applied like the picture I have posted. Our company can pay well and there is possible future work as well. Price is negotiable.

According to a criminal complaint unsealed this week, 27-year-old Staff Sergeant Christopher Brandli of Wyoming, Del., was arrested Wednesday at the Dover base. He is being detained pending a hearing on Tuesday.
Brandli is accused of transporting child pornography on computer hard drives he took with him when deployed to the United Arab Emirates last year. The complaint states that Brandli admitted to Air Force investigators that he possessed videos of underage girls.
Authorities said the videos were discovered after another airman began using a computer that had Brandli's external hard drive still attached to it.
A federal public defender assigned to represent Brandli did not immediately return a telephone message Friday.
