A glass of wine can still cost a lot in Kuala Lumpur but there is one place where you can get it for free – Cronier Wines at The One Avenue, Dataran Pelangi. With its 300-plus years of expertise as a wine distributor, Cronier Wines is a great place to immerse yourself in viniculture, broaden your know-how on South African wines and talk with some interesting people.
As limited space is available, take note that advance reservations are required for this free weekly wine tasting session, which happens every Friday from 17:00 – 18:00.

- Address: 5-6 The One Avenue, Dataran Pelangi Utama, PJU 6A, Jalan Masjid, 47400 Petaling Jaya

A host of pleasant surprises await you at the PETRONAS Art Gallery, a free-entry museum in Suria KLCC. Home to over 1,000 local and international, traditional and contemporary works of art ranging from paintings and photographs to costumes and crafts, the gallery is an unpretentious yet elegant and brightly-lit space.
Established in 1993 to support the development of arts in the country, the non-profit gallery has a programme of changing art, craft and design exhibitions so each visit to the gallery offers a distinctly different experience. Also called the Galeri PETRONAS, we love the fact that the place hosts themed exhibitions; the closer attention you pay to these special pieces, the more obvious that attention to detail is evident.

It's the weekend and you are pinching pennies, bored and hotel-bound. What to do when all the happening clubs in the city charge an entry fee – or do they? Well, in KL there are quite a few places that do not charge you a dime – hosting free-entry nights, a small number of these places even offer drinks on the house.
Some examples include Sky Bar at Traders Hotel (with fantastic Happy Hour promotions from 11:00 – 23:00) and Zeta Bar at Hilton KL which offer free entry no matter what day of the week you visit. Meanwhile, Frangipani offers free entry on Saturday nights and two cocktails for the price of one from 22:00 – 24:00, or you can opt to visit The Establishment whenever it rains for a free glass of beer.
From 07:00 – 10:00 every Sunday, roads at Publika, Solaris Dutamas are closed to cars, allowing families to cycle, skate and jog in a safe and clean environment. Called Wheelie Sunday, the event is the perfect activity for the whole family as you can just show up at The Square at Publika to get free bicycle rides (they even have tandem bicycles!), which means no need to bring your own set of wheels.
The 1.2km loop along Publika's main roads is also a great way to meet people but if you are looking for something a little more strenuous, you can take part in the aerobics class at The Square to get your adrenaline pumping.
- Opening Hours: Sunday 07:00 – 10:00
- Location: The Square, Publika
Movie nights are pretty popular in Kuala Lumpur, with local brand theatres such as Golden Screen Cinemas and Tanjong Golden Village taking up the lion's share of audience numbers. However, KL is also home to some pretty unique free film experiences.
Moontree House nearby Petaling Street, Chinatown has a free movie night on Sunday from 18:30 – 21:00, where they showcase feminist-oriented big screen titles. However, we are big fans of The Stage, Publika's open-air 'theatre' which takes place on Monday nights. They play Malaysian and regional films, in English or with English subtitles: we loved the classic Dickens-theme and Japanese film screenings that have been screened in the past.
Located approximately 11km to the north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves is a limestone hill comprising three major caves and a number of smaller ones. What many people do not realise is that it has also been the centre of rock climbing development in Malaysia for over 10 years. Offering more than 160 climbing routes scattered all over the 150m limestone hill face, it has free access to the crags and some are easily within reach from ground level, making it a great spot for non-experts.
Early in the day, the atmosphere is charged with lots of people staking out a claim for specific areas of the hill – we suggest you arrive early to pick just the right area to rock climb for your level of expertise. The hillside is safe with many routes available, making it great for those who want simple climbs as well as those looking for a greater challenge. You have to bring your own gear (unless you join a tour outfit), but the open-air feel makes climbing here an absolute pleasure.
Register for free with Open Rice and you will get to tag along when they do free food tasting sessions, a weekly event called Makan Ventures, at some of Kuala Lumpur's best restaurants. You will have to jump through a few small hoops to qualify: first you will have to become an Open Rice member and submit a personal food review to qualify for Makan Ventures.
Next, scroll through their next Makan Venture event listing, sign up for it and they will confirm if you have been selected via email. One thing to note though – you will have to share your food experience on the Open Rice website or on your personal blog afterwards, but that is a small price to pay for a free meal.

Staying in the Know
Magazine: Summer 2015

- Read Time: 24 min
In an era of information overload, getting the right information is a challenge for time-pressed executives. How can they best distinguish usable information from distracting noise? New research argues that to remain appropriately and effectively knowledgeable, executives need a personal and organizational capability to continually "stay in the know." And that means assembling and maintaining a "personal knowledge infrastructure" built on both technologies and conversation.

Principles of the Brown University Community
We, as members of the Brown University community – faculty, undergraduates, graduate and medical students, and staff – are dedicated to supporting and maintaining a scholarly community in which all share together in the common enterprise of learning. As a central aim, Brown University promotes intellectual inquiry through vigorous discourse, both oral and written. The fundamental principles that must necessarily undergird this aim include respect for the integrity of the academic process; individual integrity and self-respect; respect for the freedoms and privileges of others; and respect for University resources. In becoming a part of Brown University, we accept the rights and responsibilities of membership in the University's academic and social community, and assume the responsibility to uphold the University's principles.
Respect for the Integrity of the Academic Process
The rights and responsibilities that accompany academic freedom are at the heart of the intellectual purposes of the University. Our conduct as community members should protect and promote the University's pursuit of its academic mission. We are all, therefore, expected to conduct ourselves with integrity in our learning, teaching, and research, and in the ways in which we support those endeavors.
Individual Integrity
In order to ensure that the University can dedicate itself fully to its academic and educational vision, it is expected that an individual's personal integrity will be reflected not only in honest and responsible actions but also in a willingness to offer direction to others whose actions may be harmful to themselves or the community. The University expects that members of the Brown community will be truthful and forthright. The University also expects that community members will not engage in behavior that endangers their own sustained effectiveness or that has serious ramifications for their own or others' safety, welfare, academic well-being, or professional obligations.
Respect for the Freedoms and Privileges of Others
We strive for a sense of community in which the individual growth of all members is advanced through the cultivation of mutual respect, tolerance, and understanding. Brown University values and encourages individuality while also affirming the community dimensions of academic life. A socially responsible community provides a structure within which individual freedoms may flourish without threatening the privileges or freedoms of other individuals or groups.
The University is committed to honest, open, and equitable engagement with racial, religious, gender, ethnic, sexual orientation, and other differences. The University seeks to promote an environment that in its diversity is integral to the academic, educational, and community purposes of the institution.
Respect for University Resources
All community members must respect the general resources and physical property of the University. Such resources are assets in which community members have a vested interest, as these resources specifically support the institutional mission.

Discover This School
The Academy - San Francisco @ McAteer first and foremost focuses on the three Rs – Relationships, Relevance and Rigor.
At the Academy, we believe in using Restorative Practices throughout the school day, and that strong RELATIONSHIPS are the most fundamental part of a successful school. If students do not feel supported and cared for when they are on campus, then their academic and social-emotional success in school is compromised. Additionally, if students do not feel like what they are learning matters to them, and is not being taught using RELEVANT pedagogy, then they are less engaged and less likely to have a positive academic experience. And, if students have a positive relationship with their teachers and staff members, and they enjoy a relevant learning experience, then as a school we can provide them with RIGOROUS curriculum and expectations.
The Academy's small school setting allows our teachers to create an effective learning environment by working closely with students and their families in building a strong community. Within this community, teachers are able to give more individual attention to students and communicate regularly with parents.
Our administrators, like our teachers, work to individualize experiences for stakeholders by welcoming parents to drop in to school whenever they like discuss the best way to serve families. As a small school, between our two administrators we know every student on campus and are very hands on with all student support issues that arise.
The Academy offers a rigorous and relevant curriculum to meet the needs of our diverse student body, and students receive college counseling all four years aided by a two full-time academic counselor and two full-time college counselors.
The Academy is co-located with with Ruth Asawa School of the Arts at the former McAteer campus, however, is a completely different school.

Looking ahead to Saturday's game, Richt said one of the keys for Georgia will be its ability to run the football against the Gators.
"We're not going to be able to throw it on every down, that's not healthy against anybody, but we have to keep hammering it and pop one," said Richt. "We need to run it well. No team has been able to be methodical and drive down the field on them. We're going to have to be able to trade blows. We'll have to keep banging away with the run even it we're not successful early."
Florida ranks second in the SEC in rushing defense and second nationally in scoring defense. Richt did not announce who will start for the Bulldogs at tailback.
"I don't know honestly," said Richt. "Sometimes it depends on what play we have called and our field position. We'd love to be in the position to know who it is no matter what the call, but we're not there right now."
Saturday's game will mark the fourth time in school history that the Bulldogs face the nation's No. 1 ranked team. Georgia is 1-2 in these contests, and the victory came in 1985 when No. 17 Georgia stunned No. 1 Florida 24-3 in Jacksonville.
Georgia (4-3, 3-2 SEC) had an open date this past Saturday while the Gators (7-0, 5-0 SEC) posted a 29-19 win over Mississippi State to extend their winning streak to 17 games.
Georgia junior linebacker Akeem Dent looks to return to action Saturday after battling a hamstring injury since the summer. Dent played in the first two games this season but has not played since Sept. 19 against South Carolina.
"It's been tough for Akeem, he was going to be one of our starters, one of our leaders," said Richt. "We're hopeful he can finish the year in style."

Suddenly, the Korean based manufacturer has a lot riding on this device. Sales of the Samsung Galaxy S4, which had sold 10 million units in the first month, have faded dramatically to the point that analysts are beginning to cut shipping estimates for the model. And that puts added pressure on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to make up for the Galaxy S4's sudden fall from grace.
But it is not going to be a clear run for Sammy's Android powered phablet either. This year, there will be plenty of competition from other large-screened models like the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and the rumored HTC T6, which would be a phablet sized version of the HTC One. As far as what we can expect from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the latest buzz is that Samsung has decided to go ahead with a flexible 5.99 inch AMOLED screen in an attempt to get sales moving in the right direction. The rest of the rumored specs include a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 13MP rear-facing camera.

London still suffers from a major "public relations problem" with Chinese tourists because UK visas are seen as difficult to obtain, ministers were warned today.
The capital is losing out because of the "strong perception" that Britain is unwelcoming to Chinese visitors, said Stephen Phillips, chief executive of the China-Britain Business Council.
He said: "The UK has got a PR problem around this issue. This is compounded by the political messages at home when a tough stance (on immigration) plays well to a domestic audience, but to a Chinese audience it gives the perception that the UK is not that welcoming. In an age of Twitter these things do get around."
Home Secretary Theresa May has announced some easing of visa application requirements for Chinese visitors. But they will still have to fill in separate forms for a UK permit, as well as a "Schengen" visa to visit other countries in Europe. She fears that further relaxation could open the door to crime gangs and asylum seekers.
Chinese spending in London is growing, with tourists spending three times more in Savile Row last year than they did in 2011. Overall spending by Chinese visitors rose by about 30 per cent.

Project Description2009 RADA
Single-Family Production / Attached / Merit
Design/build firm PLUMBOB LLC subdivided two vacant city lots and inserted these eight condos that blend contemporary interiors with energy-efficient, sustainable living. The two-level units have light-filled, open floor plans and private outdoor spaces in the rear and on the roof. "The condos only measure 18 feet wide, but open spaces were achieved through glass floors and changes in texture," says Howard Steinberg, AIA. An eclectic materials list—including tigerwood, solid surface, and bamboo—also helps.
Slated for LEED Platinum approval, the project includes such green features as a sod roof, a water collection system, and solar hot water collectors. It's "got a lot going on for a simple spec townhouse project," said a judge.

Missing Perth man apologises for $100,000 search
Page Tools
A married father-of-five whose 40-day disappearance sparked a massive search across WA's south west has apologised for the resources wasted looking for him.
Stuart Brodie, 42, from the Perth suburb of Woodlands, was reported missing on July 21 when he left his business in nearby Balcatta without a word to his wife or friends.
Fears for his safety grew after his ute was later found abandoned.
Dozens of SES volunteers searched bush to no avail.
But the mystery was solved yesterday when a family friend spotted him in a shopping centre at Bunbury, 180 kilometres south of Perth, and called police.
Mr Brodie explained he had been walking and camping in bush in the state's south, but after conditions became too cold had squatted in a derelict house in Bunbury.
Today at a media conference, Mr Brodie said he was embarrassed so much effort had gone into looking for him.
"To the SES and police I am deeply ashamed at the resources they have wasted looking for me," Mr Brodie said.
"I can only gauge what efforts they went through to locate me. To the people who are angry at the wasted resources, for the moment all I can say is sorry."
Mr Brodie said he had acted out of fear, and had wanted to escape from his life.
"The initial thing was fear - I had not come to the conclusion what I was going to do, so my plans were cut short," he said.
"The police and the health services have been very good and have brought me through to this point."
State opposition emergency services spokesman Steve Thomas said the cost of the search, estimated at $100,000, should be met in part by Mr Brodie if he was able to pay.
"An act like this is generally a fairly selfish act, in that it would have only taken a small thing, a note or a message before he left, to say that he was not coping," Mr Thomas said.
"That would have saved an enormous amount of manpower and volunteers and cost, and don't forget the police were still investigating the case, and it was potentially a murder case at one point.
"A large amount of resources that could have been put into other crimes went into this."
Mr Brodie was due to be reunited with his wife Roselyn today, after initially refusing to see her yesterday, when he instead wrote her a note to assure her he was well.
Earlier today, Mrs Brodie said despite the trauma of her husband's disappearance, she and her children were delighted he was safe.
"Something just snapped, but we still have no idea what it is that has caused it," Mrs Brodie told ABC radio.
"(My children) are absolutely overjoyed their dad has been found, and that they'll be able to see him soon.
"I knew he was alive somewhere down there all along, I never gave up thinking that, and neither did the kids."

NBA deals with postseason trauma as stars go down
MIAMI – The surprising and unfortunate star of the NBA postseason: injury.
Forward Chris Bosh's abdominal strain leaves the Miami Heat guessing when their starting forward will return in these playoffs. The injuries are piling up: The Chicago Bulls were eliminated after injuries to All-Star point guard Derrick Rose and center Joakim Noah, and the New York Knicks were never fully healthy to face the Heat because of devastating knee injuries to guards Baron Davis and Iman Shumpert.
Injuries in the postseason always garner great attention, but the issue has been amplified this year, coming off the lockout-shortened, compressed regular season. Although doctors are slow to make a direct link between the serious injuries piling up and the wear and tear of playing 66 games in 124 days, even NBA Commissioner David Stern backed off his initial position that there was no connection.
MORE: Season 'has to be extended' for Bosh to play
STORY: Injuries tear open NBA playoff picture
PHOTOS: Top highlights from the NBA playoffs
Asked Sunday during ABC's broadcast of the Heat-Indiana Pacers game about the impact of the shortened season on injuries, Stern said, "Sitting here today, I don't know the answer."
That followed his comments last week on CBS Sports Network that the league would be trying to learn if there was a connection between the way teams prepared in a shortened training camp and preseason and the injuries that followed in a compressed schedule and immediate postseason.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is hesitant to blame the schedule.
"I would have to see a study on it, really, to see injuries in previous seasons" Spoelstra said Monday. "How many? What kind?
"I think everybody notices it now. … Have there been more than other years? I don't know."
What happens during the rest of the playoffs could make this season memorable in ways the league had not envisioned. The anticipated Heat-Bulls playoff rematch is at least a year away. Bosh is out indefinitely — and the second round just started.
"This season has to be extended for me to play again," Bosh said of the Heat getting past the Pacers.
Ron Grelsamer, associate professor of orthopedic surgery at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, told USA TODAY Sports that it would be difficult to pinpoint which injuries were the result of a compact schedule and which were not.
But some teams prepared for the possibility of an inordinate amount of injuries.
"We identified with the condensed schedule," Los Angeles Clippers general manager and vice president of basketball operations Neil Olshey told USA TODAY Sports.
"The cumulative nature of guys wearing down by them playing too many minutes, too many games (20) in 31 days in March. That the bench was going to be really important."
And with stars Chris Paul nursing a right hip flexor and Blake Griffin a sore left knee, the Clippers bench took on a greater role and came through in the fourth quarter of Game 7 on Sunday to help eliminate the Memphis Grizzlies.
Battle of attrition
What once looked like a wide-open road to the Eastern Conference finals for the Heat now presents with hazards.
If the Heat eliminate the Pacers, they face a potential rematch against the Boston Celtics, who are playing as well as they have all season.
But the Celtics — don't call them old; you don't want to be on Kevin Garnett's bad side — are working around injuries, too.
Guard Ray Allen missed the first two games of the first round against the Atlanta Hawks with a right ankle injury that might need surgery in the offseason. Forward Paul Pierce is playing with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
Every team at this time of year gets hit with injuries. But the disabled list, from the battle of attrition that began April 28 with the playoff openers, is especially dense:
• Three players were lost for the season with knee injuries in playoff games. Rose tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the postseason's first game, against the Philadelphia 76ers. Shumpert tore his left ACL and lateral meniscus in Game 1 of the first round against the Heat. Another Knicks guard went down when Davis tore the patella tendon, ACL and MCL in his right knee in Game 4 against the Heat.
• Noah, the Bulls' top rebounder, missed the final three games against the 76ers with a sprained left ankle.
• Clippers guard Mo Williams was limited in Game 6 against the Grizzlies with injured fingers on his right, shooting hand. Paul played the final two games with the hip injury. Griffin says he is 75%-80% healthy because of his left knee problems.
•Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins left the final game of the sweep of the defending champion Dallas Mavericks with a strained right hip, played Monday in the second-round opener vs. the Los Angeles Lakers but left in the third quarter with a groin strain.
Injuries also have had significant impact on USA Basketball's potential roster for this summer's London Olympics. Rose and Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, who had late-season back issues and surgery, are out. So are Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who had hip surgery, and Clippers guard Chauncey Billups, who tore his left Achilles tendon during the season. Now Bosh's availability is in question.
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo took an extraordinary measure, asking for and receiving an extension from the U.S. Olympic Committee on naming the 12-man roster for London. The USOC gave Colangelo and his staff, which includes U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski, until July 7 instead of June 18 to select the team.
"As a result of what's happened in this unusual NBA season — not pointing fingers or laying fault that it was a shortened season — the reality is there's been a lot of injuries," Colangelo told USA TODAY Sports before Bosh's injury. "As a result of that, we are going to take every moment we can before we select the team. It would just seem silly and not very smart to jump the gun with a whole bunch of games remaining in the playoffs."
And more occasions for injuries.
Lineup adjustments needed
The Heat went 4-5 in the nine games Bosh missed this season. Despite a strong second half without Bosh in Game 1 against the Pacers, the Heat are better with him in the lineup.
San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was out for 14 days with a strained left stomach muscle this season. If Bosh missed about two weeks, his return would come early in the conference finals — if the Heat advanced and the Heat-Pacers and 76ers-Celtics series went at least six games.
Bosh, who was at the Heat's practice facility Monday for treatment, said it was not a complete tear of the muscle or a hernia.
"From our minds, we're looking at that as good news," Spoelstra said.
Bosh said he was sore and had no idea how long he would be out.
"There's nothing anybody can say. It's just all response right now. … Our team is going to be successful whether I'm playing or not. I'm still a part of that," Bosh said. "It's going to be tough, and it's a long, hard road, and you have to deal with the bumps. My bump is here, and I have to make sure I get over it. I didn't want any of my teammates thinking something's wrong with me emotionally. My head is in the game, and I'm trying to get back out there."
Spoelstra wasn't ready to show his hand on lineup changes. Heat star LeBron James said it was unlikely he'd start at power forward, although he said he would play that position.
"All options are open. It could change quarter to quarter, game to game," Spoelstra said. "What I told the guys is this just changes the dynamic a little bit. Guys have to be ready, obviously, for their opportunity. But they also have to understand it's not necessarily set in stone. I'll make adjustments and decisions as we go and see what works and what has more potential than other lineups, and that's just the way it has to be.
"They're a very mature group about it. We'll be able to use our versatility without guys letting their personal dilemmas get in the way."
Scary thought — so many playoff games left, and injuries have a commanding lead.

West Homestead man arrested for stabbing of cyclist in September
A man in jail on charges that he tried to burn down his parents' house admitted on Thursday that he chased down and sliced the neck of a cyclist who cursed at him and cut him off in traffic, Pittsburgh police said.
The cyclist said the traffic incident never happened, and he was the victim of an unprovoked attack.
Anthony James Scholl, 21, of West Homestead is charged with one count each of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment stemming from the Sept. 5 knife attack of Colin Albright, 25, in the South Side. Scholl is accused of attacking Albright on the city steps leading up the South Side Slopes as he carried his bike.
Scholl told reporters to "get out of my way" as he was escorted from police headquarters by detectives James McGee and Harold Bolin. He did not answer questions.
Albright said he never swore at Scholl, didn't cut him off and didn't notice Scholl was following him until just before Scholl attacked him on the steps.
Albright said he was traveling across the Hot Metal Bridge when he left the bike path and rode onto a sidewalk along Water Street at a yellow traffic light, then turned onto Hot Metal Street. He said he didn't have a conversation with anyone and that Scholl's car would have been stopped on Hot Metal Street at the red light.
"It's not a relief for me in that 'Oh, good — someone's going to pay for what happened to me,'" Albright said. "I'm just glad there's not a public safety threat out there anymore."
Albright said his neck is mostly healed but that he's still in physical therapy for his shoulder wounds.
Police Lt. Kevin Kraus said detectives got a tip from West Homestead police when they released a warehouse surveillance video of the attacker walking up the city steps.
Based on that tip, Pittsburgh police seized Scholl's vehicle and arrested him at the Allegheny County Jail.
According to a police affidavit, Scholl told police he was driving his 2003 Dodge Stratus to the South Side to get something to eat when a bicyclist cut him off. Scholl followed the man to the city steps and got into a fight with him, saying he thought the man was going to hit him with his bike.
Scholl said he grabbed the bike and threw it and then took a small black folding knife from his pocket and stabbed the man in the neck. He told police that after the stabbing he noticed he had blood on his hands. Scholl said he ran down the steps, drove home and took a shower.
Scholl has been in jail since Oct. 9, when he was arrested on charges that he tried to burn down the house of his mother and stepfather.
According to a police affidavit, Scholl's mother told police her son has "psychological issues." West Homestead police said Scholl told them that his parents "want to kill him and feed him to their pet alligator."
Attorney Daniel Joyce, who represents Scholl on the arson case, said he would plead not guilty in that case and he found him to be respectful.
Joyce said he had not spoken to Scholl or his family about the stabbing charges.
"The acts he's alleged to have done would cause anyone to question his mental fitness," Joyce said.
The same day as the stabbing, court records show, District Judge Thomas Torkowsky arraigned Scholl on charges that he lied when purchasing an AK-47 in July. Torkowsky released him on $10,000 unsecured bond, according to court records.
Scholl stated on his purchasing form that he didn't use marijuana, but admitted later that he was a regular user and that he owned a sawed-off shotgun, which is illegal, police said.

Walking through the land of shadows
wearing my yellow shoes
With each and every step
I created color and hues
The shadows started retreating
As color permeated the ground
Out of the shadowy darkness
I heard a horrible sound
"You do not belong here
I command you to go away
You are in the land of darkness
You must listen to what I say"
I kept on moving forward
Not sure what I would see
Where was the voice coming from
I looked behind a tree
Light and color expanded
Traveling up straight to the skies
The entity that so scared me
Was right before my eyes
As my shoes banished the darkness
The entity was reduced to tears
Without the aid of shadows
He couldn't tap into my fears
I then reached down to touch him
I told him that he was safe
He looked up with confusion
As I gazed upon his face
"Are you here to destroy me?
Have you come to take me away?
There is a purpose for shadows
They create hope for brighter days."
I heard what he was saying
The shadows have their reason
In order for spring to come
We need a darker season
So I removed my yellow shoes
Watched as the shadows returned
It was time for me to go home
With this strange lesson I had learned

Irish Nectar of the Sun Goddess
This mystical aura of golden radiant sunbeams so sublime
With a warm mead laying lovely below its enchanted neck,
Is breathless releasing gasps of white-hot-fire breaths now,
All spiritual within one and a thousand sighs, it whistles too.
Brightly your radiance shines through the deep blue oceans
Where rainbows are misted with shades inside a desire born,
With curtains falling—revealing a beauty spot held precious,
Whilst in your heart glows warmly a true love priceless pure.
A royal crown bestoweth upon thine mantel of soft 'n purest silk,
Now spangled as dewdrops glisten brightest on mirrored slippers,
As a divine swan upon one wave began dancing on joyous ripples,
An old Irish jig played on in this moment dancing you and I, as two.
The Merry Old Leprechaun looked on with his wee-soft eye twinkle
As the Sun Goddess giveth her divine breath to this sacred harvest;
Now to beareth the sweetest of fruit with warmest rays of gentleness,
So all can shareth this grandest garden moment of holy eternal glory.
We all shall now, forever and ever, prosper in this heavenly abundance
Whilst we sheddeth a most wee-curious light into this eternal paradise,
As you and I, and the Merry Old Leprechaun shareth a passion so true,
We drinketh gladly the sweet 'n stout Irish Nectar of the Sun Goddess!

Today I found you cornered, drenched in cold,
your fur coat nothing but a newborn's down,
a tiny ball unfolding while I hold
you shivering. Your lacerations frown
and at a distance, I can see the why
of your abandonment, the birds of prey.
I've saved you, but you're causing me to cry:
serrated weapons, Nature's passion-play,
as blood-attracted sharks, still circling, wait:
I sense the breath-starved fright that made you flee,
those teeth, those claws, you were their blameless bait.
You can't yet comprehend that you are free.
I see the wounds, some healed, some raw and new,
they're deep, beyond the matted fur and skin.
Four little paws, so tender, sprawled askew,
I seem to feel that you and I are kin.
You mark each move. Mistrustful eyes, so green,
incapable of rest, stir to suggest
you'll try to bite if I will try to clean
the bloodclots, so I hug you to my chest.
You flinch to feel my cuddle. Have I planned
some fiendish way to torture you anew?
The tiny space your wretched life has spanned
has taught you only suffering is your due.
Careful now, I'll wrap you in a cloth,
And whisper words you cannot comprehend.
Oh tiny one, you're no more than a moth!
It's alright now. You've come across a friend.
Your warmth is blossoming against my breast.
I want to teach you gentleness and calm.
There's nothing here to threaten you: so rest,
You're safe now from anxiety and harm.
I'll guard you through the night until you sleep,
until the chesty wheezing eases up.
This is protectiveness, it's seated deep:
I'll always help a vulnerable pup.
Your heart is racing hard against my hand,
awaiting pain, as wizened captives do.
Believe me, Little One, I understand.
For I have been a broken prisoner, too.

If you sow seeds of kindness,
Then kindness is what you'll reap.
If you sow seeds of forgiveness,
You'll reap untroubled sleep.
If you sow seeds of anger,
of hatred or discontent,
You'll reap a crop of violence,
Discord and evil intent.
If you sow seeds of brotherly love,
Then love you will receive,
But if wickedness is what you sow,
Then wicked you will be.
The lesson here is pretty clear:
You reap just what you sow.
Therefore, strive to sow only good seeds,
And spread them wherever you go.

Animal of the Night
The animal of the night has an evil courage as its defense,
And with simple lies it now catches the filthy beast easily,
And can now stand and bask in God's purest of sunshine,
Whilst valor and glory speak all power to one's destiny!
Darkness doth now pervade and drinks slowly from that
"Chalice of the Faithless Heathen" who hides among the
Soulless Ones who are consumed by their hateful actions,
And spit thoughtlessly at your good will and human pride!
Hades' very own dark demons tilt their evil night shades
While justifying the hurt and depravity of an "Ugly Brute";
A truly lost soul without any mercy, blind—as "He" throws
Freely a nasty spiteful spirit on your earthly fire of reality!
Hence, Hades' mark and mask of utter darkness and terror
Descend now into the very conscience of your Spirit World;
Burning hot with the force of "The Furies" seeking revenge:
Tisiphone, Megaera, and Alecto all appear sans Merci now!
As their eternal gorgonesque spirits creep upon you furtively,
Your once handsome visage turns into a sad and horrid portrait
Of an old animal soul in the mirror never to see the Light again,
As clouds darkly shade your horizon and fate in Hades' name!
In this eternal land of darkness, the dead do not suffer this fate
So easily, and cast not without honor in their chains the notion
That fear itself, vice destiny, cries out now for your forgiveness,
As One-Eyed Beggars seek and see the basic good within you!
Each day now fades into its own doom, into a dark mist of evil,
And hides carefully inside a "Mountain of Consciousness" where
Your ethereal spirit knows who you really are—as black snakes
slither slowly and silently toward your spirit-mirrored reflection!
You—that "Animal of the Night," wear now your deceptive mask;
The reality of who and what you really are makes my skin crawl!
You can never return from this darkest "Pit of Hell" my old friend,
For thy animal-human spirit is doomed to all this darkness forever!

The animal of the night has an evil courage as its defense,
And with simple lies it now catches the filthy beast easily,
And can now stand and bask in God's purest of sunshine,
Whilst valor and glory speak all power to one's destiny!
Darkness doth now pervade and drinks slowly from that
"Chalice of the Faithless Heathen" who hides among the
Soulless Ones who are consumed by their hateful actions,
And spit thoughtlessly at your good will and human pride!
Hades' very own dark demons tilt their evil night shades
While justifying the hurt and depravity of an "Ugly Brute";
A truly lost soul without any mercy, blind—as "He" throws
Freely a nasty spiteful spirit on your earthly fire of reality!
Hence, Hades' mark and mask of utter darkness and terror
Descend now into the very conscience of your Spirit World;
Burning hot with the force of "The Furies" seeking revenge:
Tisiphone, Megaera, and Alecto all appear sans Merci now!
As their eternal gorgonesque spirits creep upon you furtively,
Your once handsome visage turns into a sad and horrid portrait
Of an old animal soul in the mirror never to see the Light again,
As clouds darkly shade your horizon and fate in Hades' name!
In this eternal land of darkness, the dead do not suffer this fate
So easily, and cast not without honor in their chains the notion
That fear itself, vice destiny, cries out now for your forgiveness,
As One-Eyed Beggars seek and see the basic good within you!
Each day now fades into its own doom, into a dark mist of evil,
And hides carefully inside a "Mountain of Consciousness" where
Your ethereal spirit knows who you really are—as black snakes
slither slowly and silently toward your spirit-mirrored reflection!

You have caged me for too long
I want you to just let me go,
I have to spread these feathered wings
I need to feel the wind's blow.
You know that I love you truly
I said that I would never leave,
I want to see the rain's dance
Not just sit here and perceive.
The scene never changes, day after day
I want to go where white roses bloom,
I have never seen an ocean's wave
And neither have you, I assume.
I need to see the autumn tree's change
I want to see the snowflake's glisten,
I am wishing on the stars as they fall
This is my dream, so please just listen.
I want to fly in the sky's blue
I need to feel the sun's burn,
When I have experienced these wonders
I promise that I will return.

Green…you always reflected in my peripheral
And kept watch as I tried to color my world
But there I lay in my blacks and my blues,
lifeless and faltering In monotone hues.
Through kaleidoscope eyes, I envisioned my skies
But the pot at the rainbow was storybook lies
so with nothing to gain and nothing to lose,
I just shuffled around In my blacks and my blues.
Never did I imagine you!, Green… to be my savior
But there you arose, out of my dark abyss
With your bottle green dress and scarlet kiss
Your emerald green eyes and unbridled bliss.
Now my kaleidoscope dreams have all been unfurled
Since you Green, have colored my world
You rescued my heart, Green
You rescued my heart.

A dream can grow in the darkest places,
even when others lay shattered and dead,
no matter how long and twisted the roots,
dreams can still grow when tears are shed.
It will flower out of the muddy ground,
no matter how impossible it may seem,
and vine and wind around the stoney paths,
as it flourishes to chase the sunbeam.
A dream can grow from almost anywhere,
stunted only by what imagination can feed,
the vision becomes planted deep in the mind,
and will live when your heart is the seed.

The welfare poem is not for you
and not enough for anyone.
The welfare poem is very small
and not just given to everyone.
It's not enough to read for long.
It's just a little short.
It's not paid much attention to
and not the longing sort.
With thanks there's those who'll get it.
Those of who deserve it.
It's just some stolen words,
though I would soon forget it.
It's filled with much disgrace.
Those wary as they read.
It may be meant for you
if you accept the need.
I hope you have enjoyed it.
I'll cut you off for now.
But if you want more later
just beg there's more somehow.

Once upon a time
Distant memories
Dawning of morning crystals
Glittering reminder of starlight tears
In sunbeam's brilliance
Lighting jewels shine
Songbirds break into chorus
The smallest fragment of a breeze alerts
The senses whistling
Melodies explode
Through the branches leaves lament
Observing nature's space hold in colors
Fruit of tenderness
Mellow your sunshine
Blossoms love supreme touching
Fingers raise deep golden feelings yearning
Addresses one's heart
Lonely dust remains
Breathing breathless light explores
In darkness echoes bounce off deep caverns
Cold howling shivers
Devouring warm blood
Into the bones whistling ice
Winds voice of the lost souls' eyes turn bright green
As the spirit leaves
Dark moldy shadows
Light of moon sources cravings
Beauties kiss eclipses rose bleeds scarlet
Immortal heartbeats
Life stops ticking bang
Seduced black velvet pleasure
Sinking fangs into the succumbing heart
Drum beats slow echo
Fallen unchained truths
Slithering lizards crawling
Underneath the skin a beastly vision
Storm roars through timbers
Translucent blood slime
Flowing toxic energy
Mutating hollers screech into wolf moon
Scalding hot flames breathe
When red embers burn
Into the lustful ashes
Born inside scarred remains breathing wounds
An itch that scratches
Onto the mindset
Greenish cornea expands
Opening curtains in a split second
Haunting prey on light
Affliction of need
Rasping rattle in the throat
Death yowls airless scream without sun visions

Many voices from the past,
Always echoing in my head,
How long can it last,
I thought you were dead.
You always tell me what to do,
So I don't make a mistake,
Somehow you always knew,
How many I could make.
Because once I hurt you,
And you'll never let me forget,
But what can I do,
You're not quite dead yet.
Why won't you leave me alone,
Will you never forgive me,
I wish I could atone,
Please, just let me be.
The hollow echo of your voice,
Will linger on forever,
You've given me no choice,
It'll never stop, ever.
The sound of you used to make me smile,
But now it tortures me,
I will always be in denial,
So an end I'll never see.

Walking Away
I live in the shell of my body,
though it houses me very well,
I can walk to my deep secret places...
and when I'm there, no one can tell.
In this shell, I am the ruler,
always coming and going at will,
wandering far to the ocean
or top of a green, grassy hill.
Away to my playground of words...
for minutes or hours, I may hide.
While my shell is busy at living,
I am walking away deep inside.
I'm walking away to follow
wherever great words lead me to,
and then, from those deep secret places,
I will bring back a poem or two.

Noah's ark was real not a fiction
It had a door to escape God's affliction
Noah delivered a warning message
But the folks mock their own presage
Men grew in sin and matured in transgression
And ignored Noah's loving confession
The Door stood open a long time
Until time begin to climb
The Lord finally shut the Door
And the rain begin to pour
120 years of grace finally came to a halt
God administered judgment by default
The Door was a glorious type of Christ
He was the Lamb of God who was price
Jesus said "I am the Door of the sheep"
He is the only Door of that Great ship
Jesus is our Door of salvation
Wherein we enter and float as new creation
Behold He stands at your door this day and knock
Let Him in, you'll find pasture as a partaker of His Holy flock
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep- John 10:7

An old herbal gard'ner turned bard
dedicated and well-versed
now works his pen from his backyard
in plants and poems immersed.
His choice nouns engender meaning
cleverly minted with scents.
Rare verbs gingerly gleaning
from time's savory essence.
Somewhat focused on composing
but nettled by a drizzle;
unexpected down-hosing
causes his brain to fizzle.
Lo! His inspiration now gone
like the ink upon his page.
Mrs. Bard calls from the lawn
"I just watered the sage."

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
this flower bed,
is just for you.
Among the stone,
and in the mud,
a flower shone,
a beautiful bud.
It grew so tall,
proud and strong,
it learned all,
right and wrong.
Giving it water,
and warm sun,
your only daughter,
learned about fun.
Mommy come see,
look what I did,
now I can be,
a grownup kid.
This flower bed,
is just for you,
with roses, red,
and violets, blue.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
Struggles and success,
Sufferings and happiness,
Dreams and Goals building to life;
Like colours of the rainbow making light.
A blessed day for you my dear readers :) Cheer Up, God bless

From the dark cocoon, the butterfly emerges,
Finally realizing she cannot control her urges,
To witness the beauty of the midnight moon,
The butterfly emerges, from the dark cocoon.
She flew from the shadows, out into the daylight,
The colors on her wings had never shone so bright,
She was meant to be here, her brave heart knows,
Out into the daylight, she flew from the shadows.
No more sitting alone, back in her little room,
No more hiding in dampness, darkness and gloom,
She had finally found a friend to call her own,
Back in her little room, no more sitting alone.
Andrea Dietrich's contest - "Swap Quatrains. Let's See What You've Got!"
A test of the water,
A dip of my toe.
Undeniably chilly,
But bearably so.
Before I can swim,
I must get undressed.
I'll start with my shirt,
And then all the rest.
I'll glance about shyly,
Then just take the dive.
Returning for air,
Now I'm feeling alive.
This is how poetry
Ever will be.
A definite risk,
But a way to be free.
I show to the world,
What others won't bare.
My vulnerable soul,
Under scrupulous glare.
Just as the clear water,
A feeble veil makes.
So scarcely can prose
Conceal life's mistakes.
So under some metaphor
Or in simile
If you are looking,
You'll find naked me.

Heaven's light source pure
Radiated light-years beyond
Man's conscious knowledge
And cosmic understanding.
Various brilliant streetlights
Of the universe charting
Courses through stretches
Of eternal darkness deep.
God keeps this Starlight
True to his very word
For when darkness wins
The keys of enlightenment
Fall prisoner to Lucifer
Who controls them for
His advantage over Man
At odds always with God.
Starlight reflects the way
For mankind's quest in
Seeking ethereal guidance
And spiritual illumination.
This heavenly pure light
Keeps mankind on track
Despite Lucifer's intrigues
To do just the opposite.
Man's Earth time is short
And his date with destiny
Finds his fate held in the
Balance of God's Hands.
But there is always the
Chance to ask God for
His advice and help—then
Waiting for the answer.
And God's answer is
Coming in different ways
And—at the end, Salvation
Is granted by the act of God.
Being in God's arms and
Looking back the way Man
Came reflects that everything
Was part of God's divine purpose.
God's grace and protection
On each and every one of the
Stones on the way and back
Was part of God's divine plan.
At the end it turns out that
Everything was planned
From the very beginning
By you and God together.
The godly part created in
Man is the divine guidance
Which brings everybody
Back into the arms of God.
Now being in conscious awareness
Of God's plans and creation,
Man can enjoy with inner peace the
Starlight—Heaven's light source!

Le Mot Juste
The right word indeed is what we poets always seek
As we use our imaginations in finding and identifying
A theme of interest and one that allows us to work and
To weave a tapestry of poetic virtue and enchantment.
The right word for the sake of poetic discussion can be
A singular word, two or three words, or even a group of
Words; yet it is how the word or words are placed in
Verses which account for proper emphasis and nuance.
The right word gives us that certain image or metaphor
So necessary as we dexterously process artistic thoughts
Which meld into verses conveying a wondrous message
To our readers yearning for the magic that poetry brings.
The right word often sets the tone and tenor of each verse
And as we consider the desired effect of each verse as it
Flows and follows or interlocks with the other verses in
A poem—the tone and tenor attributes are quite important.
Using the right word impacts what we say and how we say
It and how our poetic thoughts may or may not be correctly
Understood, which means "Words Count" always—and we
Poets should consider their effect in portraying our message.
Le Mot Juste in the French language very exquisitely means
"The Right Word" and seemed appropriate as the title for this
Poem to emphasize the critical nature of using the right word
As we poets seek to make our thoughts known to the public.

*The poem appears in my new poetry book with a release date of
February 3, 2015.
You have led me beside the azure seas
to see the crimson coral of the fallen leaves
so like the rainbows that exist within our kin
the colors that lay upon our souls within
There drifts our souls in the shades and hue
where we slip the streams of the colors blue
or light their soul in softest shades of yellow
when in company as delighted companions fellow
Or quietly lay in shells still and tinged of pale grey
like the clouds that hang within the low of day
or to climb the hills the foliage with its glistening sheen
are painted trees and meadows in the depths of green
Here in life the blooms that every spectrum see
and offered us its view the veneer of eternity
and not so transparent the crystals of our glass
and our lives the shadows of pigments cast
The cosmetic gloss that we can wear like makeup
that dyes the actions which our souls we take up
some like varnish are just cover for what is dull
like the iron and the steel that contains our hull
But the tints that wash and stain our soil
can be the colors swirling within the gleams of oil
where they run together as the eddy's in the water
there each soul its colors is contained a single star

An old sundial awaits
Sol's kiss of glistening gold.
And aligned with the north star,
its gnomon stabs at the cold.
Tarnished and weather-beaten,
it waits for day to come back.
And stands in pools of darkness,
dripping drops of liquid black.
The sun crests the horizon,
finally free from night's clutch.
And its light strikes the dial,
gilding it with its touch.
Tethered to its brass face,
time is subject to its whim.
And silently creeps along,
chasing shadows at its rim.
It radiates like magic,
with a luminescent glow.
And forecasts the time of day,
as long as the clouds don't show.

Behold my pen
that writes and scribbles
and bleeds blue ink
in drips and dribbles.
That crosses paper
in bites and nibbles
and weighs my thoughts
in spite of quibbles.
Words as strange as
this and then.
Letters and numbers
like S and 10.
Thoughts and feelings
I've had before.
Memories waiting
the pen to bore.
Lines as long
as stretching can.
Jots and jolts
where each began.
Loving strokes
to those I send.
Messages made
that they might blend.
All these meanings
from the heart.
Behold my pen.
Their only art.
His smile is like sunlight
He moves like poetry
His voice is an Arabian night
His love is a Red Sea

Despondent, she stares in the mirror,
hoping to see the girl of her youth.
Yet, years of tears have weathered her skin,
and the sun's harsh light confirms the truth.
Her wrinkles masked by a coat of paint,
she repairs whatever is peeling.
And the false face staring back at her,
reflects the disgust that she's feeling.
A touch of powder fills in small lines,
while a hint of rouge brings her cheeks back.
And the bags under her eyes are smoothed,
as mascara lashes are brushed black.
Red lips complete the porcelain doll,
as all her blemishes disappear.
And once more she's transformed her image,
hiding her years behind a veneer.
Many a mind hurries past
the gripping splendour
in search of beauty, not to last,
while continuing in rejection of grandeur.
I look as the moments pass
at the wounded walkway.
The sand flows through the hourglass
and time conforms to seconds and seconds to day.
There, in the heart of pain,
at the crack of dawn
grows through the mundane,
purity, life's mystery in an image drawn
Red bursts open in colours array
but expectation it defied
as time had not intended bloom 'till the following day
and still nature's scarlet tears are cried.
Dusk was meant to encompass
the brooding gem in the snows
but the bud unfolded in its stubbornness
and yet not its pedals froze.
I suppose the dark of night
and the bitterness of day
could not smite
what would have its own way.
The bud grew beautifully in strength
and blossomed in wisdom,
knowledgeable in great length,
yet its leaves forbade a future grim.
Somehow it lacked endurance
and what blind humanity refused to meet
became the trampling of our innocence:
the rose that grew from concrete.

I look you up and look you over,
better days have left you far behind,
you're older, but to me you're still appealing,
yet you draw comments that are less than kind.
You're neglected, not consulted,
when an answer is required,
hidden now behind the others,
avoided, disregarded, mired.
I massage your spine with oil and friction,
restoring your luster to cherish and keep,
remembering when you were readily handled,
sought after, popular, top of the heap.
I'm so busy these days with my key restorations,
I scarcely have time, and I don't have a say,
so you'll have to wait for my deft ministrations,
a labor of love, postponed for a quieter day.

As the band begins, puppets
in tangled strings start to dance.
For its tone is hypnotic,
and all seems fine at first glance.
They all waltz and whirl as one,
keeping in sync with the beat.
Yet, I can't follow their lead,
it's like I've got two left feet.
The tune's sophisticated,
but can't accommodate all.
Yet, if you can't dance to it,
you are escorted from the ball.
What I hear sounds different,
floating above their clamor.
For it is a tune of hope,
not tied to wealth or glamor.
Only I, hear this music
within the eye of life's storm.
And yet, it motivate me,
to question the given norm.

I am a lullaby,
soft, silk sheets surrounding your ears,
such a lullaby
that sways the mind to halt its gears.
I am a lullaby,
the pill your heart swallows to fall asleep,
such a lullaby
that moves Death to sing when it comes to reap.

|Magic Kingdom ticket prices from 1982 to today. Notice how the rate of increase has steadily grown sharper?
Click for a larger view.
What I have a problem with is the continued decrease in value of that ticket. What do I mean? Long-time Disney park veterans can remember the days when the cast member was the biggest difference between a day at a Disney park and a day at some other theme park. The cast members and the exceptional level of service were unmatched. Period.
Let me be very clear - Disney cast members still provide the best service in the world -- with what they have to work with.
In recent years, the guest experience has diminished. No longer is Disney service unparalleled. Part of this is due to other parks catching up, but part of this also is due to the numerous cost-saving measures implemented under Bob Iger's direction. I've seen the value of a Disney trip continue to be less and less due to these cost-saving measures. Live entertainment is a rarity. Dining offerings have slipped and aren't quite the level they used to be, especially counter-service. Merchandise has become homogeneous.
Where this all leads to is a decline in the Disney reputation. Ok, ok, I understand that people are still pouring into the gates each and every day in droves, and that's correct. I also see all the construction that's going on in the parks and I get that too.
For now. I continue to be very concerned that Disney is pricing itself into elitism. I know of many long-time annual passholders who have given up their AP's because it's just not worth it anymore. I'm one of them.
Maybe one day Disney management will start to see the trend and will try to find ways to bring back the Disney shine. Maybe not. So long as Bob Iger is there, I don't think you will see a commitment to the guest experience that Walt Disney was so proud of. Don't get me wrong, I think Bob Iger has done a great deal to benefit the Disney company - he brought in many new brands to the Disney family and that's been a huge benefit to the parks. He also has expanded the parks with the launch of Shanghai Disneyland. According to reports, he's working to bring Disneyland Paris fully back into the fold - something that's desperately needed. It's time to turn the attention to home and shore up the U.S. parks.
Will my family and I still go to Disney? Yes. But maybe not as much. And that's my fear -- Disney is pushing away the repeat visitor. I understand that the 1st time visitor is Walt Disney World's bread and butter, but what better way to expand revenue than to turn a 1st time visitor into an annual (or bi-annual) visitor?
What are your thoughts?
