Nemesis

Nemesis - Nemesis.jpg

Nemesis was the goddess of divine indignation and retribution who punished excessive pride evil deeds undeserved happiness or good fortune and the absence of moderation She was the personification of the resentment aroused in both gods and mortals by those who committed crimes with impunity or who enjoyed undeserved luck n nTrue to her name which variously may be translated as 'she who distributes or deals out' 'due enactment' or 'divine vengeance' Nemesis was a feared and revered goddess With a discriminating eye she directed human affairs in such a way as to nmaintain equilibrium on earth Happiness and unhappiness were measured out by her with firm care being taken that happiness was not too frequent or too excessive If this happened Nemesis could bring about abrupt and catastrophic losses and suffering n nAs one who kept extravagant favors by Tyche (Luck Fortune) in check Nemesis was regarded as an avenging or punishing divinity Tyche was often irresponsible in handing out Luck and Fortune indiscriminately heaping gifts from her horn of plenty or depriving others of what they had n nBut woe be to the individual favored by Tyche who failed to give proper dues to the gods became too full of himself and boasted of his abundant riches or refused to improve the lot of his fellow humans by sharing his luck Indignant Nemesis would step in and snap the fool back to reality in short order humiliating him and causing his downfall n nAlong with Dike and Themis wise goddesses of Justice Nemesis was one of the assistants of Zeus the king of the Olympian gods who was regarded as the founder of law and order Her home was at Attic Rhamnus site of a magnificent sanctuary dedicated to the feared goddess of divine vengeance n nAbout sixty stades from Marathon as you go along the road by the sea to Oropus stands Rhamnus The dwelling houses are on the coast but a little way inland is a sanctuary of Nemesis the most implacable deity to men of violence It is thought that the wrath of this goddess fell also upon the foreigners who landed at Marathon For thinking in their pride that nothing stood in the way of their taking Athens they were bringing a piece of Parian marble to make a trophy convinced that their task was already finished n nOf this marble Pheidias made a statue of Nemesis and on the head of the goddess is a crown with deer and small images of Victory In her left hand she holds an apple branch in her right hand a cup on which are wrought Aethiopians As to the Aethiopians I could hazard no guess myself nor could I accept the statement of those who are convinced that the Aethiopians have been carved upon the cup because of the river Ocean For the Aethiopians they say dwell near it and Ocean is the father of Nemesis n nBeautiful Nemesis initially was portrayed without wings but in later descriptions she appeared as a winged goddess In her left hand she held an apple-branch rein lash sword or balance Her symbols and attributes were like those of Tyche: a wheel and a nship's rudder n nHer parents were said to be either Nyx (Night) alone without a father or the Titans Oceanus and Tethys: n nAlso deadly Nyx bare Nemesis to afflict mortal men n-Hesiod Theogony 223 n nAlexandros the Great was hunting on Mount Pagos near Smyrna and that after the hunt was over he came to a sanctuary of the Nemeseis and found there a spring and a plane-tree in front of the sanctuary growing over the water While he slept under the plane-tree it is said that the Nemeses appeared and bade him found a city there and remove into it the Smyranians from the old city So they migrated of their own free will nand believe in two Nemeses instead of one saying their mother is Nyx while the Athenians say that the father of the goddess in Rhamnos is Okeanos -Pausanias Description of Greece 753 n nNemesis was also known as Adrasteia which means 'inescapable' or 'Tracing Goddess' You could say that NemesisAdrasteia was the ancient Greeks' conscience nfor the goddess of retribution personified moral reverence for the natural order of things and provided a deterrence to wrongful action n nShe was also called Rhamnusia or Rhamnusis in honor of her sanctuary in Rhamnos n nNobody wanted to be hounded by Nemesis and even to this day her name means: n n1A source of harm or ruin: Uncritical trust is my nemesis n2Retributive justice in its execution or outcome: To follow the proposed course of action nis to invite nemesis n3An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome n4One that inflicts retribution or vengeance n nThus you'll often read or hear quotes such as: n nThis is that ancient doctrine of nemesis who keeps watch in the universe and lets no offense go unchastised --Emerson n nA famous example of the retribution of Nemesis is the story of Narcissus This man was the beautiful son of the River Cephissus and the nymph Liriope He was so handsome that all women who beheld him at once fell in love with him The vain Narcissus however only had eyes for himself (you could say he suffered from I strain) and rebuffed all admirers n nOne such admirer was the nymph Echo who saw Narcissus and at once fell in love with him But the beautiful youth couldn't be bothered with the smitten one who slowly pined away leaving just the echo of her voice n nNemesis saw this and condemned the vain Narcissus to spend the rest of his days admiring his own reflection in the waters of a pool Eventually Narcissus died and was transformed into the flower that bears his name n nNemesis is considered by some to be the mother of Helen and the twins called the Dioscuri It's said that Zeus once fell in love with Nemesis (she had quite a bit of Aphrodite's beauty and some said she was just as gorgeous) and relentlessly pursued nher on land and sea Leery of his intentions Nemesis avoided Zeus by constantly changing forms finally transforming into a goose Not to be outdone Zeus in turn took the form of a swan and from the egg she laid came Helen the ultimate cause of the famous Trojan War n nBut some say that Helen was a daughter of Nemesis and Zeus for that she flying from the arms of Zeus changed herself into a goose but Zeus in his turn took the likeness of a swan and so enjoyed her and as the fruit of their loves she laid an egg and a certain shepherd found it in the groves and brought and gave it to Leda and she put it in a chest and kept it and when Helen was hatched in due time Leda brought her up as her own ndaughter n nHarry Thurston Peck in Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities (1898) tells us that Nemesis was: n nA post-Homeric personification of the moral indignation felt at all derangements of the natural equilibrium of things whether by extraordinarily good fortune or by the arrogance usually attendant thereon According to Hesiod (Theog 223) she is the daughter of Night (Nyx) and with Aidos the goddess of Modesty left the earth on the advent of the Iron Age A legend makes her to have been by Zeus the mother of Helen and the Dioscuri As goddess of due proportion she hates every transgression of the bounds of moderation and restores the proper and normal order of things As in doing this she punishes wanton boastfulness she is a divinity of chastisement and vengeance n nShe enjoyed special honor in the Attic district of Rhamnus (where she was believed to be the daughter of Oceanus) and is often called the Rhamnusian goddess Her statue there (of which fragments were found in 1890) was said to have been executed by Phidias out of a block of Parian marble which the Persians had brought with them in presumptuous confidence to Marathon to erect a trophy of victory there She was also called Adrasteia that name appropriate only to the Phrygian Rhea-Cybel being interpreted as a Greek word with the meaning She whom none can escape She was also worshipped at Rome especially by victorious generals and was represented as a meditative thoughtful maiden with the attributes of proportion and control (a measuring-rod a bridle and a yoke) of punishment (a sword and scourge) and of swiftness (wings a wheel and a chariot drawn by griffins)

Christmas Card

Christmas Card - holidays.png

Sorry this just reads flat and doesnt give paragraph spacesDecember 2008 Dear ReaderHappy Holidays (Christmas Chanukah Solstice Festivus Bohdi Day Yule Boxing Day and the like) from Dave and Helen This is a generic card for you to enjoy (and you must enjoy it) that will tell you all the things that have happened in our lives since December of 2007 Let us start with January 2008 Dave quit his job at Sungard to become a fortune cookie writer Hes the guy that tells you these Confucius like quotes He enjoys his job except that he finds it difficult to cut each paper perfectly type on those tiny pieces of paper and then stuff it into an already closed fortune cookie He also does not like that his boss does not let him add in bed to the end of each fortune cookie as his boss sees it as inappropriate for the elderly children and the prudish Of course his dream job would be a Whiskey Ambassador One dayHelen began her 12th year of schooling and during the break briefly considered Clown College She figured another five years at Western for some degree to which she could get a job without the degree would be worth it She had had to explain the degree to people who did not put human and services together enough times that she could not back out now to explain what clown and college means In February Dave chose to move up to the Bellingham area to be near Helen The place he chose was about the same distance as he was before except north of Bellingham instead of south: he chose to live in Canada Helen followed him up in August and both chose to become Canadian citizens Then we voted Obama in November We embarked on a world wide adventure that summer to many different exciting places and went by many interesting modes of travel Our trip began with hitchhiking to Mexico where we rentedok stoleburros and in return got our wallets stolen After trying to deal with the Mexican Police (with only knowing little Mexican such as Where is your bathroom) we gave up trying to get our money back At least we still had our passports -- we were smart enough to leave them at home in case we were robbed Dave and Helen rode the burros up to our next destinationBarnstable Town MA We ditched the burros to go across Buzzards Bay because we figured it was safer than road since the police were on to us for stealing the burros Little did we know they would have submarines on our asses No pun intended Our next destination was going to be Ireland so we used Google Maps to get there Google advised us to swim so we did Our arms grew tired but we kept on Once in Ireland we were greeted by leprechauns of course The most exciting part of our trip to Ireland was finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow Ok so it was a Hersheys Pot of Gold box of chocolate but it was still something We were famished after our dip in the pond so anything was good After our world wide trip we returned home and decided on adding a new member to our family This is in addition to our three wonderful children Molly Jake and Sebastian We decided to buy a puppy for our three beautiful smart oh-so-amazing children Our puppys name is Ginger and she is just the most perfect dog in the entire world We of course saved her from a tragic situation because we are just wonderful people like that She would have died if it wasnt for us This untrained pup with a broken leg needed a forever home so we rescued her from the horrible pound she was in She adapted quickly because we are wonderful and amazing owners Her leg has heeled and she is so well trained that she even uses the toilet properly and fetches us the morning paper She also warns us when the neighbor girl falls into the well five times this month alone When will she stop falling in Of course when the puppy becomes a grown dog the children will outgrow it and who will become responsible for her The children will not care for the dog and we parents only bought her for the children so what are we to do Finally on to the children Molly is excelling in her third grade class and receives straight As She is also taking gymnastics swimming soccer tennis is a black belt at Karate spins dishes on sticks and we just went to Portland Oregon to watch her win a gymnastic competition-her 23rd one this year Jake is a fantastic 6 year old who is so giving and so caring Yes Helen did give birth to him Whether or not Dave is the father is going to be one of our little secrets He is doing well in school Never mind that he got kicked out of class and is the only six year old to be expelled from Sunny Place Elementary School This letter is all about bragging about how wonderful our life is and how fantastically we raised our children so regardless of what theyre really like we will present them in the best light possible Sebastian turned 16 last week and has already wrecked the brand new car we bought him So we bought him a new one He enjoys being called Seb lately as he does not like the name we gave him because it reminds him of the crab in the Little Mermaid (after all we did name him after the movie) and apparently Seb is cool with the teenagers these days It was a cute name when he was bornso what went wrong Oh yeah he grew up He is on the basketball team but is not very good at all We are expecting a fourth child (because we love to reproduce and cant get enough of it) any day now and are naming her Elektronik Deevise Moonshadow because its all the rage naming our children something odd I forget we arent celebrities but we certainly like thinking we are Hate to cut this short but our obnoxious kids are fighting over the Wii again We have Playstation Xbox Gameboy Sega Genesis Nintendo Leap Frog a PSP and a Nintendo DS to choose from too Why wont Molly play with one of the 500 Hannah Montana things Mommy and Daddy bought for her We are off to grumble on how she could have so much Hannah Montana stuff and not even realize we are to blame for contributing to our childrens merchandise obsessions And we also wonder why our children are not going outside to play with all those video game systems we bought for themCant wait until we can write about our fantastic life next yearLoveHelen Dave Molly Jake Seb Elektronik Deevise Moonshadow and Ginger the Ninja dog

Shoes:) - 1_zpsbb526892.jpg

Jackie Marcelo------------These shoes are the types of shoes I am required to wear to work As I observed my office last week I noticed that not a lot of women wear flat shoes they are all mostly in heels I asked my Director of Human Resources for a copy of the rules of dress code in the work place and clear as day it says dressy shoes preferably heels or low pumps So heres my question why are women required to wear high heels in the work place and men can wear flat shoes Obviously I am not saying that men should wear high heels too thats ridiculous But high heels are hard on your feet and make your back hurt Heels to some women can be torturous or they might not be able to walk in them Advertisements have created the illusion that high heels are sexy but why does being sexy or being beautiful have to involve pain Or for that matter make you look like a sex object According to the book You May Ask Yourself p101 it says One classic example is a photo that shows a womens body in a garbage can with only her legs and a fantastic pair of high heels on her feet visible What does that mean Does that mean that does those shoes are to die for Does that mean that women are trash or belong in trash cans In the book its states that the shoes are to die for but an ad like this can means many things If I were to see this ad I would be personally offended I attempted to look it up on Google because I was interested in looking at this image but had no luck

Wolford tights by Helmut Newton - or_b4cdb83412451613967839.jpg

Wolford tights by Helmut Newton n nIn the '80s the photographer Helmut Newton (famous for his slightly pervy nude portraits) began a long collaboration with Wolford What followed made fashion history No one ever expected hosiery to become quite so cutting-edge and following Newton's campaigns so lusted after as a crucial must-have item Many of his controversial yet stylish images happen to be of stockings and of course opaque tights Wolford's runaway success which complemented the short skirts of the power suit decade All are considered as influential and trend-setting as many images featuring shall we say a bit more clotheing and are constantly being referenced In fact the photographs allowed German-born Helmut to focus on what he loved best: beautiful tall women mostly blonde and athletic preferably with the longest legs on the planet His campaigns were often shot with a wide-angle lens making the models look even more goddess-like His play on light and dark shadows and stark architectural locations usually the South of France cemented his style Legendary American fashion editor Polly Mellon made sure the photographer remained in touch with ultra-modern styling and hair and make-up of the day

Tulum ruins

Tulum ruins - IMG_0065.jpg

Some of the photos are of the Tulum Ruins we visited right down the beach from our resort There are also a lot of photos of the Chichnitze ruins Ik Kil was a beautiful cenote we visited that was so awesome It is hard to understand the size of it from the photos until you see one with people in it It was huge The tree roots hanging down into the water were so interesting Water was cascading down in different places as well I did not get in the water but I was told it was around 72 degrees The foliage around this place was awesome It was a little area of paradise in the middle of the jungle n n n nWe also visited the little town of Pueblo Tulum and walked up and down the main strip that was lined with several local vendors selling homemade goods and homegrown fruits and vegetables yes I took photos of the butcher shop that was open air but I did not get the dog in the pic Also of the internet cafes that I thought were very odd and a few other interesting buildings The people were nice and smiled at us but most did not speak English there Looking down the streets beyond the commerce blocks were very dirty and deteriorated It was very sad when people would smile at you and have so few teeth We passed a public help building as well that had people lined up down the sidewalk I did not take a picture of them as I felt it would be rude n n n nWe rode in a taxi for an hour to get to Playa del Carmen and walked the 12 block 5th Avenue shoppingrestaurant district It was interesting A lot of the same items were for sale in many shops and street people trying anything to get you in to buy their stuff They had a lot of these pharmacies where you could buy anything you wanted without a prescription which was so weird We also had about 10 people come up to us asking if we wanted to buy drugs (the illegal kind) It was very disturbing I was definitely ready to leave this area after 3 hours even though you could see the beach and the ferry to Cozumel was a couple of blocks over It was annoying people yelling at you nonstop trying to sell you crap Lady lady come see my stuff n n n nWe went through a lot of little villages that were very run down and depressing We spent a couple of hours in a taxi and talking with the driver about his life was one of the most interesting conversations Just to learn about how his life really is gives me such a different perspective on things His name was Humberto (I think) married 16 years 2 boys 1 girl taught English by a friend just by repeating phrases and conversation His friend told him he would have better work opportunities if he learned English He used to be the bellboy at the resort we were staying at but then he had the chance to take the taxi driver test Now he works 5AM to 10PM 6 days a week He does not have a car but he said if he works for the taxi company for 5 or 6 years he will have a chance to get a car to take home so his boys can also drive the taxi and earn money for the family So he was very excited about that opportunity He was very proud of his daughter for placing third in all of the Yucatan Peninsula area in an academic competition He was a very sweet man and was very happy go lucky He even had some homemade cds with American music on them he played while we were in the car I wish I had gotten his address I would have mailed him some new ones with updated music ( I still might try to get his address I still remember his cab number n n n nAfter seeing the conditions in Mexico behind all of the fancy resorts and tourist areas I understand why so many Mexicans want to migrate to the US They just want better opportunities for their families I do not blame them at all n n n nAll in all it was a good trip even though I got sick I didnt drink the water I am not sure what got me but I am guessing some food that was not prepared properly at the natural water park Xel Ha or maybe I inhaled some of the water when we were snorkeling We had a good time and we both learned a lot It is a beautiful place but definitely has its share of social issues caring for the people that live there Hopefully one day it can improve n n n nWell I know I went on for a while I hope you enjoy the pics and the stories

Jeremy - April20080172.jpg

The Lord blessed my life with your presense on November 11 2000 I had no idea that night at Smead Church that God had set up a Divine Meeting between you and me When you and I met there in that altar to talk we should have just said I do right then and there Ha I consider it a true act of God that I went home and announced to my family that I knew I'd be with that preacher from Shady Grove for the rest of my life I'll never forget reading your first email Oh how I fell in love Remember our first date Man I could hear you coming a mile away in the Mazda LOL You knew I loved YOU and definitely NOT your car Isn't it amazing that thing is still going down the road in Sparkman I remember our first kiss ahh I was SOLD I'll never forget the first time you told me that you loved me We'd been dating 8 months my sister and I had been to see you You set me down and said those beautiful words that melted my heart into a million pieces Remember reading my school work to me in the afternoons the bike rides the walks the love notes The night you asked me to marry you was most definitely the MOST romantic night of our dating relationship I was so retarded not to have guessed it Ha You are such a romantic man The day that we got married was a day I'll never forget You looked SOOO handsome in your tux Your vows to me were absolutely beautiful Remember us feeding each other cake Remember you taking my garter off LOL Remember the first month of marriage It was a blast You were out of school for the summer and I got called off of work everyday We spent 247 together I remember the day that we said goodbye to our home 2 months after marriage to follow God's leading to a new church I'll never forget how big our new house seemed It was you and me and no one else Although we were at a faster pace our love was never shaken Thank you for putting me AFTER your relationship with God but BEFORE your ministry The 2nd year of marriage I went to nursing school and you dried every tear that fell from my eyes Thank you for believing in me when I didn't have the confidence to believe in myself The 3rd year of marriage was hard We found out we were expecting in July which was an answer to 22 months of trying crying and praying I remember the joy in your voice when I called to tell you that you were going to be a Daddy Oh and what an awesome Father you are Your Grandpa Horton died in October and my Mom died in November Thank you for letting me Move back home for 4 months while I helped take care of Mom Thank you for driving to come stay with me Thank you for praying when the family wanted to pray but Pop and Ken couldn't Thank you for being so strong for me Thank you for holding me when no words could heal the pain Thank you for wiping my tears and holding me up when I wanted to fall Thank you for helping me see that Mom was with Jesus The joy of our lives entered this world on March 11th a few months after our loved ones departed to be with Jesus What a vibrant little boy with a wonderful loving spirit and personality We both have agreed that the Lord has mighty plans for Noah's life You are a wonderful magnificent Father to our children I know that the lack there of while you were growing up has made you to be a very determined Daddy Thank you for your love for our children Noah can't wait for his Daddy to walk thru that door everyday What a wonderful blessing I LOVE to watch you and Noah play together like you do everyday You guys are hilarious I think that Anna-Kate has you wrapped around her finger You are such a sucker for her smiles laughs and coos Especially now that she's saying DaDa which I still don't understand that You are a true Father and I thank you for allowing Jesus Himself to guide you to lead our children and home The 4th year of marriage the Lord called your ministry to Immanuel I will never forget the fear that I had considering I was 8 months pregnant and we were talking about moving I will always remember the talk that I had with God that day and how I got out of my car and never looked back I had a peace that only HE can give Thank you LORD You are a true God-called Preacher You have an annointing that only God Himself can give Thank you for listening to Him Thank you for following Him and leading our home in the way of TRUTH You are a man who is not afraid of what people may say or think You are a man who stands for what you believe in no matter the cost Thank you for helping me grow in my daily walk with Christ I'm so thankful that you and I are a team Our most important goal for the team is for our children to learn about Jesus and know Him as Savior and Lord Thank you for your Christ-like example Thank you for being 'YOU and for being my lover my best friend and my soul mate I'm so grateful for the years I've had with you and the memories we've made I'm excited about the future bc as long as I'm with youI'll be happy You are the most absolute wonderful man in the world You are the definition of romantic and sexy I love you more everyday I cherish our sweet pillow talks at night I love to fall asleep in your arms and know that this love is not a fairytale or a dream This love is a love that very few people find and I'm so glad to have it with you I love you

Shutters glossy red eyes looked over the snowy landscape She saw the people scattering around as the wind gnawed at their pale faces with a red nose in the middle Kiku was standing at her side Shutters head was brown that ran off into a creamy white with golden bracelets and dark brown horns She fiddled with her golden and orange tips after fixing her see through light blue sleeves Racco also stood near her He had a dark white-grey pelt with a black raccoon like face belly and a black tail with the same white-grey color on its tip Kiku was white too with bits of black grey and brown on her Her ears were longer than most but her eyes flashed a beautiful golden yellow Shutters goal in life was to create a Murrah from DNA extracted from dead animals humans and other Murrah She would often send Racco out to collect the animals and Kiku out to get the humans She while waiting for them to return would freeze extra DNA and fiddle with failed experiments The failed would squeak faintly or stir in their sleep Shutter felt bad for these They would make wonderful and cute pets if they only would wake so she could document them But they only slightly opened their eyes when she would feed them some warm milk or rock them in her arms Shutter was careful with the failed She treated them like they were her children and cared for them They hardly looked like Murrah though they had horns and fur like her self Shutter thought she would show her failed to Kiku and Racco She hoped for the best that they would except and care for the failed with her but dreaded the worst that they would shun and try to kill the failed she would have to find out one day though This very day is where we start out little tail of Shutter Racco Kiku and the failed Now what shall I name you failed Shutter paced and looked over the squeaking failed Well from now on you are not to be called failed so often I shall name your breed the Kifrons and shall call your breed by such name from now on Her eyes looked over the Kifrons One caught her eye He was a pale blue with black hair and body tips When she gently picked him up he slightly opened his eyes to reveal bright green orb like eyes sighed and then opened his mouth slightly waiting for his food Shutter did as he wanted and fed him some warm milk from a baby bottle I shall name youYukio Her eyes were soft as Yukio squirmed in her arms and fell asleep You shall be the first Kifron to exit this lab Shutter opened the door to the living room Kiku Shutter come here for a second please She called as she shifted Yukio so he sat on her arm with his paws on her shoulder What is it She said rubbing her eyes What in the world do you have She shouted bringing Racco to her side She was staring at Yukio who whimpered in his mothers grasp This is Yukio Happy Hero Chrysanthemum do not yell youre scaring him Shutter scolded Kiku with her English name Ok do you have any more Kiku asked hushing the barking Racco If you do you have to show me them She insisted Yes I have more Four more to be exact two girls one boy and the newest one that is not old enough to tell Hold Yukio while I go get them Shutter handed over the pup and went to get two more Next she came out with one grey-blue female that had beautiful red colored markings named Chou butterfly and one with the exact opposite markings and colors named Chouko butterfly child She next brought out the small unknown gendered baby named Kin which means Golden And last but not least she brought out Takashi praiseworthy These are all of them Shutter commented as Kiku and Racco swooned over the Kifrons This reader is a lie Shutter had three more Kifrons in her lab Three quite evil ones the only ones to fully awaken who named themselves Adam Mankind Eve Life and Eden paradise These three took the looks of humanoids Not grown or small but they had the young face of innocents Adam was a male He was the kind of evil that brought out the bad side of human nature so as to make people become withdrawn un-trustworthy or even suicidal Eve was the evil that would promise the life of a loved one She would prove healing powers by bringing back bugs or birds Eden the kind of evil that would create a paradise for the human and promise this dream world if he or she carries out a series of tasks each more horrible than the last She kept these three Kifrons in quarantine away from everyone except the other bad Kifrons so they could not contaminate the minds of others These three were dangerous They took the looks of small five year old humans dressed in hospital gowns and bracelets She examined these three regularly Each day they would have a fit because she wouldnt pick them up Sure they looked five and could do the things five year olds could do like walk and spell but they were only 2 months old So they craved the care of a mother Being picked up binkies bottles blankets and stuffed animals Shutter yearned to care for them like children to be able to cuddle and swoon over them But she knew this may never happen with the progress they were making Kiku looked at Yukio crawling on the floor after a rather frightened Racco She giggled Get back over here you silly boy She said picking him up Gwahhff He cooed examining her with his green orb eyes He sneezed and then pulled at Kikus ear When Yukio let go he silently looked over the room fiddling with his fingers Fwaghh He cried as Shutter opened the door to come into the living room Fwaghh Fwaghh He cried pawing for his mother Kiku stop making that awkward noise this instant Shutter said When she had come out of her room she had been greeted by a series of odd sounding cries Kiku saw and heard Shutter walking in Why its not me She said rather taken back by the harsh tone Its Yukio Hes a little cranky that I picked him up when he was chasing Racco but I think hes happy to see you She said handing Yukio over to Shutter Swaaaaa Yukio squealed with joy when he was in Shutters arms once more He pawed at her with mouth open for food Yukio Shutter cried Youre awakeWhen did he wake up Shutter looked at Kiku with a stern face that told her that she needed to know that instant Tell me I need to know nUhm well just a tiny bit after you went into you lab I dont know about 6:30 pm She stuttered looking down I didnt know it was so important Im sorry II didnt know you would be sosoupset at meIm sorry Kiku cried and run into her room slamming the doorOh my what have I done She gently put Yukio on the couch and covered him in a baby blanket

Demeter - DemeterII.jpg

Demeter is the great Olympian Goddess of Agriculture Grain and Bread the prime sustenance of mankind She also presided over the foremost of the Mystery Cults which promised its intiates the path to a blessed afterlife Demeter is depicted as a mature woman often crowned and holding sheafs of wheat and and a torch nIn Greek mythology Demeter was the most generous of the great Olympian goddesses The Greek goddess Demeter was an ancient goddess beloved for her service to mankind in giving them the gift of the harvest the reward for cultivation of the soil n nAlso known as the Roman goddess Ceres Demeter was the goddess of the harvest and was credited with teaching humans how to grow preserve and prepare grain Demeter was thought to be responsible for the fertility of the land n nShe was the only one of the Greek goddesses who was involved on a day-to-day basis in the lives of the common folk While others occasionally dabbled in human affairs when it suited their personal interests or came to the aid of special mortals they favored the goddess Demeter was truly the nurturer of mankind n nDemeter also was the only one of the Greek goddesses who could truly empathize with the human experience of suffering and grief having experienced it fully herself nThe goddess Demeter is best known for her fierce defense of her daughter Persephone who was also known as the child Kore (or Cora) Persephone's father was Zeus the mighty ruler of the Olympians The goddess Demeter had been one of his early consorts long before his marriage to Hera n n Persephone was an obedient cheerful girl who had a happy childhood playing with her cousins Artemis and Athena Reaching adolescence she was carefree and spirited often dancing playfully and picking wildflowers in the meadow near her home n nPersephone's youthful beauty drew the attention of Hades the god of the underworld and he could not help falling in love with her One day as Persephone reached over to pick a flower the earth opened and the arm of Hades reached up from the underworld n nAnd so Hades abducted her dragging her back to his kingdom n nHearing Persephone's screams the goddess Demeter rushes to the meadow but cannot find Persephone Carrying a torch Demeter traveled the world day and night never eating or resting searching futilely for her daughter nPoseidon god of the sea noticed the goddess Demeter as she traveled and pursued her with amorous intent Then Demeter tried to fool him by changing herself into a mare and hiding herself in the middle of a herd of horses but he was not fooled Poseidon saw through Demeter's disguise turned himself into a stallion and took her at his will n nWhen Demeter continued her journey in search of her daughter she met an old and poor man who was gathering firewood who invited her to return to his home to eat supper with his family and to rest on her journey When she told him that she was searching for her daughter he wished her success and told her that he understood her suffering since his son lay dying at home Demeter goddess of compasion changed her mind and went with the kindly man stopping only once to gather some poppies by the path Entering his humble home Demeter went straight away to the boy's bedside and kissed the boy lovingly on the cheek Immediately the pallor left his face and his breathing eased as Demeter's love had restored the son to full health nAlthough it was the custom of the Greek goddesses and gods to become very vindictive toward anyone who failed to honor them in a dignified fashion Demeter was such a kind goddess that she seldom utilized this privilege One of the few times was when she stopped on her travels to quench her thirst by drinking from a spring and heard a man named Ascaelabus laughing at the sound of her gulping the fresh water Embarrassed and angry at the man for being so rude Demeter turned him into a lizard n n Resuming her search she soon encountered Hecate goddess of the crossroads who advised her to speak with Helio goddess of the sun reasoning that since she had been riding her chariot (the sun) through the sky that day she had surely seen what had happened to Persephone Helio told the goddess Demeter what she had seen and that Persephone was now ensconced as Hades' wife and Queen of the Underworld She also gave her the shocking news that Zeus himself had sanctioned the marriage giving Hades permission to abduct Persephone nUnderstandably the goddess Demeter felt betrayed Renouncing her divine duties that included bringing fertility to the land Demeter left Mount Olympus swearing that the earth would remain barren until her daughter was returned to her She took refuge in the city of Eleusis Disguised as an old woman the goddess Demeter was met the city rulers two young daughters at the well and they liking her immensely invited her to return to their home to meet their mother There she met their mother who was cuddling her infant son This must have stirred Demeter's longing for her abducted daughter horribly Demeter became profoundly depressed almost catatonic eyes gazing off into the distance and unwilling or unable to even speak n n Everyone tried to all that they knew to cheer their guest but it was to no avail Eventually one of the household servants a middle-aged maid named Baubo came and sat in front of Demeter and started talking mostly making humorous comments (most likely of the male-bashing sort) some of them quite risque Encouraged when she saw the beginnings of a smile forming on Demeter's grief stricken face Baubo hiked up her skirt and mooned the goddess Demeter responded with a deep belly laugh that brought her out of the deep depression Her good nature now restored Demeter was soon hired to work as a nursemaid to the infant son of the city's ruler nCaring for him lovingly feeding him on the nectar and ambrosia of the gods Demeter grew very attached to the young Demophoon and decided to make him immortal But just as Demeter was holding his feet over the fire (the ritual which would transform him into an Olympian god Demophoon's mother entered the room n nMistakenly believing that Demeter was about to burn her son she began to scream The goddess Demeter then dropped her disguise revealing the beautiful goddess that she truly was and berated the mother for her stupidity in stopping the ritual that would have given her son immortality n nIn addition Demeter demanded that a temple be built in her honor This was done and the goddess Demeter remained there sitting alone in the darkness once again depressed and grieving for her lost daughter n nAll this time with the goddess Demeter refusing to function the land grew barren and the harvests ceased the earth saw a winter that did not end Zeus finally opens his eyes to what was happening and sent messengers to apologize and coax the goddess Demeter to return n nDemeter however remained adamant that she would not return until Persephone was rescued Finally Zeus gave in and sent Hermes to command Hades to release Persephone nPersephone upon hearing the news rejoiced for she had missed her mother sorely As she was leaving Hades offered her a pomegranate to eat Persephone had refused all food while she had been in the underworld and was surely hungry n nAlthough she undoubtedly knew that those who ate anything in the underworld were not allowed to return to the earth Persephone accepted Hades' gift eating only the seeds Hermes borrowed Hades chariot and stallions and flew Persephone home to her mother as Zeus had ordered n nDemeter was not pleased that Persephone had eaten the pomegranate seeds and would have to return to the underworld for four months during each year but was otherwise overjoyed to be reunited with her daughter n nHappily Demeter resumed her divine duties and restored the fertility of the earth Each year the goddess Demeter longs for her absent daughter and withdraws her favors from the earth for a period we know as winter but Persephone returns each spring to end her desolation nOnce Persephone was safely returned albeit for only a third of a year the Greek goddess Demeter decided to reside in her temple in Eleusis where she had enjoyed the welcome and support of her friends during her long search for Persephone n n There she developed the Eleusian mysteries a series of profound religious ceremonies that taught her initiates how to live joyfully and how to die without fear nThe story of Greek goddess Demeter illustrates the tremendous capacity of a woman to love and nurture within her own family and the world at large n nIt also reminds us to stand firm for what is good and right even in the face of adversity when powerful forces are aligned against us T n nhe goddess Demeter's message also reminds us of the seasons of a woman's life that even though there are times of great sorrow there is also great joy to be found

To Tame A Highland Warrior - 51rh2pQ9k3L_SL500_AA240_.jpg

Gavrael Grimm McIllioch was just a child when the McKane attacked his people Powerless to help he stood on the hillside and called on the Berserker to help him Transformed by supernatural powers to a blue-eyes warrior with strength enough to defeat the McKane Gavrael fought bravely only to have his own people look on him in fear Fleeing the aftermath of the battle and with the belief that his father has murdered his mother Gavrael changes his name to Grimm Roberick and seeks refuge with the St Clair family Years later he leaves the St Clairs when he realizes that he is in love with Jillian the beautiful and willful daughter of the family Believing that his father murdered his mother because of a hereditary madness Grimm fears that this illness could pass to him and combined with the berserker power he could bring danger to Jillian Leaving her and setting out alone in the world he decides to turn his back on that part of his life forever The years pass and Grimm has no plans of returning to Jillian However Jillians parents have other plans Gibraltar and Elizabeth are at their wits ends with the problem of trying to find Jillian a husband Each man they bring to court his is quickly put off from the idea by their clever yet cunning daughter As a last resort they decide to leave their daughter alone in the castle with the job of entertaining three potential suitors Knowing her tricks of dispatching of men who come to court her they summon men they know will not fall for any of her scams Quinn de Moncreiffe and Ramsay Logan are the first two contenders for Jillians hand and both are determined to win for their own reasons Grimm is the final one of the three and the only one who refuses to join in the contest Unfortunately for all his plans he soon discovers that he is the only one that Jillian wants and she is as stubborn now as on the day he left her home and she is determined not to let him leave her a second time Grimm knows that her parents are aware of what he is but he never confided his secret in Jillian Furthermore he has no intention of doing so now But as someone who seeks to destroy him moves ever closer Grimm knows that the time has come to leave Jillian once more Leaving her with just two suitors to chose from the wedding is planned at her parents insistence and time is running out for Grimm to come to her rescue Abducting her from the alter Grimm takes Jillian away with him and they begin their journey back to his home and his father and the terrible secrets of his past that he must finally face before he can start his life with Jillian

Alesha - GEDC1119.jpg

I have a confession to make This is Alesha one of the Chad Valley DesignaFriends but not my original Alesha whom I normally photograph Poor Alesha's hair had got really crazy and frizzy and it was driving me up the wall I made the mistake of brushing it when I first had her only to find that you shouldn't brush the curly haired DesignaFriends On top of that I was always putting her in hats and in the end it really messed up her beautiful hair Anyway on a day out this week I made the decision to buy a new Alesha and here she is She looks gorgous in a new Ebay outfit from America It consists of white leggings white Tee with a heart design and a very cool denim jacket The outfit is finshed off with some very unusual metallic sandals which have zips at the back I love this set and I think Alesha looks stunning

When I read this part of this story Thomas: Heh Oh you should see these new scripts Gordon I spend a lot of time with Emily in them In one I have to pull her all the way across the island Gordons face turns red then he steams away to cry in a siding this part made me decide to write this story when I told him my deepest yet very emotional feelings for Gordon and became his only girlfriend who completely understands him and his guardian angel too As Carly (Cmara) and I in our hero forms were wandering around in Sodor when I saw poor Gordon with tears running down his face I loved Gordon with all my heart but too nervous to tell him that so when I saw him like this my eyes kind of moist a bit but Carly boldly said that this is the time I must tell Gordon my secret feelings for him Well Carly's right it's now or never to confess as I walked up to him and I rubbed my hand very gently on his cheek I asked him Why are you crying Gordon answered quietly to me When I hear awful stories about Emily since I think Emilys sexy I mean have you seen those wheels Id kill myself if she wentaway I put my hand over my mouth feeling even more sorry for him And above that he continued I get the feeling that the other engines even the diesels just doesn't think I'm important and just tease me calling me names and and before he could say anything else I replied I strongly know how you feel and you are extremely important to me Gordon gasped Yes I continued I do think you're important to me and I've got a major secret besides my hero form As Gordon waited for me to tell him what my major secret was Carly who was watching took out a radio and switched it to CD mode Carly propped an Evanescence CD into the radio and played the special track for this very moment: an Evanescence song called Good Enough sung by Amy Lee Amy Lee (radio): Under your spell again I can't say no to you crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand I can't say no to you Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly now I can't let go of this dream I can't breathe but I feel Good enough I feel good enough for you As the music played Thomas Percy Emily even Diesel came to see what's going on and they watched with Carly quietly as I looked at Gordon as my love in my life his very strong body his paint shining blue and his very handsome gray face which made me feel definetly in love with him Diesel whispered to Carly Make it look passionate Carly even though I'm a diesel but I do love to see some passion She shushed him and said Watch as the music continues to play Amy Lee (radio): Drink up sweet decadence I can't say no to you and I've completely lost myself and I don't mind I can't say no to you Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely now I can't let go of this dream can't believe that I feel Good enough I feel good enough its been such a long time coming but I feel good I bravely said My major secret is that I love you Gordon was surprised he had never encountered a heroine girl who actually has secretive feelings for Gordon like me maybe even love him which I do and he answered I love you too I knew every fairy tales has love moments so I did something for him that he'll really know I do love him: I gave Gordon a perfect kiss on his lips We closed our eyes very slowly and our kiss of true love was becoming very VERY beautiful Amy Lee (radio): and I'm still waiting for the rain to fall pour real life down on me cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough am I good enough for you to love me too Carly and the engines watched us kissing passionately and we (including the trucks) sighed happily This is very beautiful Carly said Emily Then Thomas added Yeah looks like Gordon's finally got a love of his life Percy let out one tiny tear of joy since this is the time of love between me and Gordon Amy Lee (radio): so take care what you ask of me cause I can't say no The music has ended and I felt very happy that I finally told him my secret feelings and as for Gordon he now felt better and also very proud that he has finally found a girl who loves him very much I smiled and said I'll always be there for you Gordon sighed grandly once more that he'll never forget this very day that I've expressed my love with one special kiss And that's how it is

I got this swallow on my rib cage over a year ago Before I turned 18 I knew I wanted to get a bird tattoo I planned out a weekend that I would get it done but I never really found a bird I was totally in love with A couple weeks before I decided to get mine My Mom and her lesbian partner (who helped raise me for 11 years) were also getting a tattoo of the Hawaiian saying One in Love My Mom decided she wanted to have birds next to it (she didnt know I was planning on getting a bird tattoo myself) One day she showed me these pictures she had found of old sailor jerry tattoos and found these two beautiful birds As soon as I saw it I knew that was the bird I wanted n nNow not only do I have this swallow but my Mom and her partner have the same swallow too My sister also has the Picasso Peace dove on her hip Now my bird tattoo is a symbol of the love in my family I think birds also really fit all of our personalities (that is that birds symbolize) n nI named mine Maurice after the Steve Miller Band song The Joker

Some problems that we are having with todays society are financial crisis We are investing too much money into things that play important roles in society but are also causing great deals of strain We spent about a trillion dollars bailing out automotive companies and banks because lenders banks and insurers began to feel the heat How exactly did these corporations go into debt About three hundred and seventy five billion dollars worth of merchandise was sold to consumers for about seventy five million dollars Car dealerships lowered prices and sold stock for very cheap Lexus dealerships began to sell their luxury cars for approximately two thousand dollars One manufacturer said We once had three shops and each month we stocked 300 or 400 new cars but now we cant keep any cars in nThe reason is clear why he cant keep stock is because the value of cars has become so minor people can buy them for thousands less than what they paid last year One consumer said I bought about four Benzs and got them all tricked out This bailout is really doing something for he makes in quote actions with his fingers poor folks these days I feel like a baller riding around in this car while the rich folks ride around in hoopties When he left he had a sense of high superiority about him In fact these poor folks can walk around with their head above the clouds because when the rich started losing jobs the poor didnt have much to worry about These people are so used to working for nothing and when the rich began to get laid off the poor felt like this was a sign nThe sign was the one day they who worked for nothing would make it something The poor began to save All their hard earned money came to good use These people didnt save money in banks because to them its called the white mans evil Could minorities feel as if banks dont try hard enough for them to actually invest The urban society has had many great things come their direction They helped fuel the music industry they recently helped advance the technological era and now they are fueling the political scene In November 2008 we elected the first half African American president Could it be that before he was elected our former president George Bush let our beautiful America go to the sharks It is a possibility nObviously all rich people arent minorities but some are Some mixed raced rich minorities think that the bailout was a plan to dish out money to the poor One man said Poor people wouldn't know what to do with all the money if we paid them more They would go out and have lavish parties and not come to work any more That is why the stewards of the money must carefully yet generously portion out the money that people make carefully and cautiously Idle hands are mischievous hands We cannot render our incentive and motivation for achievement ineffectual Therefore we must not give out too much money to the poor lest they become lazy lascivious and inebriated

Bailey Girls 4 Life - 1407150961_l.jpg

There comes a time in your life when you finally get it When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ENOUGH Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on And like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum your sobs begin to subside you shudder once or twice you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world from a new perspectivennThis is your awakeningnn You realize that it is time to stop hoping and waiting for something or someone to change or for happiness safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon You come to terms with the fact that there aren't always fairytale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of happily ever after must begin with you Then a sense of serenity is born of acceptancenn So you begin making your way through the reality of today rather than holding out for the promise of tomorrow You realize that much of who you are and the way you navigate through life is in great part a result of all the social conditioning you've received over the course of a lifetime And you begin to sift through all the nonsense you were taught about :nn - how you should look and how much you should weighn - what you should wear and where you should shopn - where you should live or what type of car you should driven - who you should sleep with and how you should behaven - who you should marry and why you should stayn - the importance of bearing children or what you owe your familynn Slowly you begin to open up to new worlds and different points of view And you begin re-assessing and re-defining who you are and what you really believe in And you begin to discard the doctrines you have outgrown or should never have practiced to begin withnn You accept the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will love appreciate or approve of who or what you are and that's OK they are entitled to their own views and opinions And you come to terms with the fact that you will never be a size 5 or a perfect 10 Or a perfect human being for that matter and you stop trying to compete with the image inside your head or agonizing over how you compare And you take a long look at yourself in the mirror and you make a promise to give yourself the same unconditional love and support you give so freely to others Then a sense of confidence is born of self-approvalnn And you stop maneuvering through life merely as a consumer hungry for your next fix a new dress another pair of shoes or looks of approval and admiration from family friends or even strangers who pass by Then you discover that it is truly in giving that we receive and that the joy and abundance you seek grows out of the giving And you recognize the importance of creating and contributing rather than obtaining and accumulatingnn And you give thanks for the simple things you've been blessed with things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about - a full refrigerator clean running water a soft warm bed the freedom of choice and the opportunity to pursue your own dreamsnn And you begin to love and to care for yourself You stop engaging in self-destructive behaviors including participating in dysfunctional relationships You begin eating a balanced diet drinking more water and exercising And because you've learned that fatigue drains the spirit and creates doubt and fear you give yourself permission to rest And just as food is fuel for the body laughter is fuel for the spirit and so you make it a point to create time for playnn Then you learn about love and relationships - how to love how much to give in love when to stop giving and when to walk away And you allow only the hands of a lover who truly loves and respects you to glorify you with his touch You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say intentionally or unintentionally and that not everyone will always come through and interestingly enough it's not always about you So you stop lashing out and pointing fingers or looking to place blame for the things that were done to you or weren't done for you And you learn to keep your Ego in check and to acknowledge and redirect the destructive emotions it spawns - anger jealousy and resentmentnn You learn how to say I was wrong and to forgive people for their own human frailties You learn to build bridges instead of walls and about the healing power of love as it is expressed through a kind word a warm smile or a friendly gesture And at the same time you eliminate any relationships that are hurtful or fail to uplift and edify you You stop working so hard at smoothing things over and setting your needs aside You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK and that it is your right to want or expect certain things And you learn the importance of communicating your needs with confidence and grace You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that eventually martyrs are burned at the stake Then you learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to Say NO You learn that you don't know all the answers it's not your job to save the world and that sometimes you just need to Let Gonn Moreover you learn to look at people as they really are and not as you would want them to be and you are careful not to project your neediness or insecurities onto a relationship You learn that you will not be more beautiful more intelligent more lovable or important because of the man on your arm or the child that bears your name You learn that just as people grow and change so it is with love and relationships and that that not everyone can always love you the way you would want them to So you stop appraising your worth by the measure of love you are given And suddenly you realize that it's wrong to demand that someone live their life or sacrifice their dreams just to serve your needs ease your insecurities or meet your standards and expectations You learn that the only love worth giving and receiving is the love that is given freely without conditions or limitations And you learn what it means to love So you stop trying to control people situations and outcomes You learn that alone does not mean lonely and you begin to discover the joy of spending time with yourself and on yourself Then you discover the greatest and most fulfilling love you will ever know - Self Love And so it comes to pass that through understanding your heart heals and now all new things are possiblenn Moving along you begin to avoid Toxic people and conversations And you stop wasting time and energy rehashing your situation with family and friends You learn that talk doesn't change things and that unrequited wishes can only serve to keep you trapped in the past So you stop lamenting over what could or should have been and you make a decision to leave the past behind Then you begin to invest your time and energy to affect positive change You take a personal inventory of all your strengths and weaknesses and the areas you need to improve in order to move ahead you set your goals and map out a plan of action to see things throughnn You learn that life isn't always fair and you don't always get what you think you deserve and you stop personalizing every loss or disappointment You learn to accept that sometimes bad things happen to good people and that these things are not an act of God but merely a random act of fatenn And you stop looking for guarantees because you've learned that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected and that whatever happens you'll learn to deal with it And you learn that the only thing you must truly fear is the great robber baron of all time - FEAR itself So you learn to step right into and through your fears because to give into fear is to give away the right to live life on your terms You learn that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophesy and you learn to go after what you want and not to squander your life living under a cloud of indecision or feelings of impending doomnn Then YOU LEARN ABOUT MONEY the personal power and independence it brings and the options it creates And you recognize the necessity to create your own personal wealth Slowly you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never ever settle for less than your heart's desire And a sense of power is born of self-reliance And you live with honor and integrity because you know that these principles are not the outdated ideals of a by-gone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build your life And you make it a point to keep smiling to keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful opportunity and exciting possibility Then you hang a wind chime outside your window to remind yourself what beauty there is in Simplicitynn Finally with courage in your heart and with God by your side you take a stand you FAKE a deep breath and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you cannn A word about the Power of Prayer: In some of my darkest most painful and frightening hours I have prayed not for the answers to my prayers or for material things but for my God to help me find the strength confidence and courage to persevere to face each day and to do what I must donn Remember this:- You are an expression of the almighty The spirit of God resides within you and moves through you Open your heart speak to that spirit and it will heal and empower youn My God has never failed mennnAfter a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soulnnAnd you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean securitynnAnd you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promisesnnAnd you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult not the grief of a childnnAnd you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight nnAfter a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too muchnnSo you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to leave you flowersnnAnd you learn that you really can endurenYou really are strong you really do have worthnAnd you learn and you learnnWith every goodbye you learnnnThis is the intro to the many thoughts of my life My many trials and tribulations have been ongoing lessons I have not yet learned I have became that child that you keep having to say stop to over and over I have not yet got the point These trials

Chelsea Handler saves my beach spot

Chelsea Handler saves my beach spot - ChelseaBook1sml.jpg

I used Chelsea Handler's book to save my beach spot every morning in Punta Cana -- most travelers to the Dominican Republica and the Caribbean are foreigners these days and not American -- Bush scrwed us up so bad we can't travel -- but they weren't sure how to handler chelsea so no one ever took my book :) Here's my column on it: A Gold Medal Olympic Vacation Competition n nBy RAY HANANIA n nThe competition for the Gold Medal was Olympic Not in Beijing but on the beaches of Punta Cana where I spent a week researching Cuban cigars and teaching my son the basics of how to survive in the real world n nEvery morning I would get to the beach at 6:30 in a fierce race with teams representing Russia China Italy France and Spain and a field of 130 others There were only 10 perfect palm tree covered cabanas on the beach and you had to get there early to claim one n nWhats the point of going to a beautiful paradise beach if you are going to schelp in at 11 and plop down on a towel in the sand n nI can report that Ive won the competition every morning Boo-rah for the American team Well I guess Im considered about as American as Yao Ming (OK Hes an exception a Chinese-born athlete who plays for the Houston Rockets basketball team In the Olympics he plays for China) Did you ever notice that when mentioning American athletes of certain ethnic and racial backgrounds they always mention their race but never the ethnicity of Americans like Michael Phelps n nAnyway back to my own Olympic Gold Medal competition in Punta Cana at the Bavara Princess Beach n nTheres an art to securing lounge chairs and a cabana Its the same no matter where you go in the Caribbean except that the world has changed Dramatically It used to be that places like this were filled with arrogant and obnoxious American tourists n nWell thats changed Today the resorts in the Caribbean are filled with Europeans Russians and Asians enjoying the fact that President Bush screwed up our economy with the stupid Iraq war (OK thats my last political reference Just kidding) Our dollar is worth less than a peso and I dont care what Central American country you visit It buys nothing n nBut I wouldnt let that deter me I rushed out research in hand and made my way in a 3600-foot dash for the beach And every morning beat the Russian by a nose (thats where being Arab comes in handy I guess) And the French the Chinese and the guy with the full body tatoo n nThey were right behind me and there was no courtesy good mornings or hellos In any language We were all there for one purpose Keep our wives from screaming at us when we didnt get the best spots n nThere is an art to saving seats You reserve them at 6:30 am and dont get back until around 11 after breakfast so you have a lot of faith that despite the tourists (any ethnicity) they will be there when you return n nYou keep the towels from the day before and lay them on the lounge chair stretched out and tucked in the niche in the back of the head rest and push that down to lock it in 50 Points n nThen you put a book youve either already read and dont care if its stolen or one no one will touch I had Chelsea Handlers book (Chelsea Lately) and made sure the cover faced out every morning (Actually Chelseas book is hilarious but none of the foreigners could figure out who she was so it was a safe bet not to get stolen) 2535 points n nThen to play to the sympathy of the crowd I put my sons little sand buckets and shovels on the chair 1915 points n nBoo-Rah n nThis happened every morning like clockwork and as I said representing the American team WE WON 945 points (If I can add right) n nNo one said hi Mainly because we couldnt speak anyone elses language I think But still The first morning I tried and said Isnt it like a vacation Your wife makes you run out at 6:30 to grab a lounge chair too And the guy walking fast next to me 25 mph just grunted with a Spanish accent Thats when I knew the competition was real n nAnd all of the men sat out there looking at each other Until exactly 7:22 am when the tall blond haired Swedish woman jogged past n nTopless n nSlowly n nPriceless n n n nE-mail this column to a friend n n n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- n n n(Ray Hanania can be reached at rayhananiacomcastnet His weekly TV Show 30 Minutes is broadcast every Friday at 7 pm on Channel 19 in Oak Lawn Burbank and Bridgeview) n n nServing readers in Orland Park Tinley Park Frankfort Mokena Palos Park Palos Hills Palos Heights Oak Lawn Burbank Bridgeview
