Subject: World Poetry Cafe Radio Show Presents Eliana Cuevas, Consul of Chile, Indran Amirthanayagam and an e-poem by Hadaa Sendoo, Mongolia July 8th at 9 pm PST on CFRO102.7 FM!
The World Poetry Café Radio Show airs every Tuesday at 9 pm PST, with your hosts Ariadne Sawyer and Alejandro Mujica-Olea presents the Chilean Consul in Vancouver, Maria Eliana Cuevas, Indran Amirthanayagam, US consulate attaché in Vancouver to discuss the Intimate Evening with Renowned Chilean Poets and Authors on July 28 at the Vancouver Public Library. Poets to be presented in Spanish with an English Commentary are: Gabriella Mistral, Pablo Neruda, Vicente, Garcia-Huidobro Fernandez and Nicanor Parra. This discussion will include a brief history of the lives of the featured poets.
The email section will include an E-poem by:
Hadaa Sendoo, a world-renowned poet in Mongolia. He is member of the Mongolian Writers Union and has won Prizes for the Best Poet, the Poet of Millennium, Creative Giant Award, and the Life Time Achievement Award for Global Peace through World Poetry. His poems have been translated into English, French, Spanish, Chinese, German, Greek, Russian, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Romanian, and Turkish. Now he teaches at National Mongolian University and Edits Poetry Almanac.
After reading a post over at Des orques dans la brume, I have been keeping an eye on the health of our newborn beluga calf at the Vancouver Aquarium. Qila, the mother, is a first-timer, which always increases the risks. When the calf got sick last week, everyone took a deep breath. Having now mostly recovered, the two-week-old cutie is playfully swimming around her tank; updates are posted here and the mother and calf can be watched live on the beluga cam. Cute!
But just as it is the case out in open sea, the life and death cycle endlessly perpetuates itself at the aquarium too. And despite what some people want to believe, sometimes the human factor isn't responsible. Animals, like us, just get sick and die. Period.

Looking at 'Up the creek without a paddle' you wouldn't think that it's only half a mile from Lions Gate Bridge and the Park Royal Mall in West Van. It was taken from the bridge on Fullerton Avenue.

Would you like to test your firewall for leaks, or check your broadband speed?
Then here's where you can do that, and it's free.
If you have a firewall, you should be sure it works, and this will tell you.
There's another speed test called Speakeasy with several locations including Seattle where you can also test your speed. I like it because Seattle is close, and therefore there aren't a lot of hops in between to slow things down.

This is for Marie, who could not be present, but always is, any way.
There are times and places when - and where - one wishes the former would stop and the latter could be taken home. But time surely never stops and those places only follow us home on frozen photographs and wrapped up softly in our memories. It's up to us, then, to match our pace to that of life around us and to make sure the memories live on and generate new dreams.
The Seawall is one of those places, and last Sunday night, one of those times.
I had noticed on my afternoon run that Kent Avery, the singular man behind the famous balanced stones, was at work on his regular spot half-way between Ferguson Point and Second Beach, and I'd decided to come back for sunset.
