Deaf event in Phoenix area

Yesterday (November 14, Saturday 2009) there was a deaf-related event called ," Deaf Encouragement Arizona Fellowship (D.E.A.F.) which is a some sort of social thing for deaf/HoH christians who are members of various churches such as Lutheran, United Methodist, Assemblies of God , Roman Catholic , and other churches across Arizona. Most of the time D.E.A.F. does its meeting in Greater Phoenix area. Its meeting occur every 3 months or 6 months at different host churches.

Yesterday D.E.A.F. was held at St. Matthew United Methodist church ( my home church ) 2540 W. Baseline Road in Mesa , Arizona ( Between Dobson Road & Loop 101 freeway) . The meeting was about the slide show presentation of the August 2009 Global Gathering of Deaf Methodists in Seoul, South Korea.

But a strange thing at D.E.A.F. yesterday was : a young hearing woman who is learning to sign ASL and her name is Raina , she was born and raised in Egypt , a foreign nation in the Middle East. Why strange thing about her ??? Her birthplace Egypt is mostly muslim nation , so she is most likely a moslem (follower of Islam) .

Raina attended to that D.E.A.F. event yesterday which is supposed to be a deaf christian social/religious event ! I was shocked about her fact that she was born and raised in an anti-christian nation --Egypt !

D.E.A.F. meets at Lighthouse church in Peoria, Arizona west of Phoenix in May 2010 next year.

Take care and God bless you.

Swine Flu emergency

Yesterday President Obama declared a national emergency regarding swine flu and I think it is good idea to have this kind of public health emergency now.

But does that public health emergency mean that President Obama will declare martial law in our country ??? I hope not ! I am against martial law !

Sooner we find a permanent cure for swine flu , we would be better off which save more lives. I suggest that Federal Health and Human Services to use supercomputers in their effort to cure swine flu and seasonal flu.

Take care of yourself .

Deaf Olympic games

Since Chicago failed to win the right to host the 2016 summer olympic games , so I think that Chicago should try to host the Deaf Olympic games soon as 2016 . Why not ? Special Olympic games do not count!

But I never see Deaf Olympic games on TV , why ? Does TV networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX know that we have Deaf Olympic games ???

Please keep the Spirit of Olympic games alive.

Follow up on 2016 Summer Olympic games decision

Yesterday afternoon I found out that IOC granted Rio de Janeiro known as Rio the right to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games , how sad for us Americans ! I hoped that Chicago would host that 2016 Games . Oh well, I hope that Chicago would try again to bid for the hosting of the 2020 Summer Games . You --Chicago can do , think positive.

You fellow Summer Olympic fans ,
take care of yourself.

2016 Summer Olympics game host city bids

I understand that The IOC will make the final decision about which city will host the 2016 Games , and I hope that Chicago will host that 2016 Summer games which would benefit Chicago and the rest of the state of Illinois economically , that is for sure! I was born and raised in Illinois outside of Chicago metro area.

But I have been living in Arizona for 16 years now. Some of my deaf friends from ISD and PHI/NIU live in Chicago area . If Chicago can host that 2016 Games , I am sure my deaf friends in Chicago area would be so happy!

Las Vegas trip part 4

July 4th saturday night finally I got back at the Grandview Resorts, and I watched four (4) separate fireworks displays at the same time from the swimming pool area , awesome displays indeed! After these great fireworks displays I went swimming for about 15 minutes.

Sunday July 5th
On the way home to the Greater Phoenix area I stopped at Panda Express, a chinese restaurant in Kingman, AZ for an early lunch . I loves chinese food.
The US 93 highway between Kingman and Wickenburg is about 107 miles long , yes 107 miles long. This stretch of US 93 is the most boring highway I ever travelled on !

Finally I got home safety at around 3:30 pm. Whew !

I gonna start planning next trip to Las Vegas next year 2010 !

Las Vegas part 3

Last Saturday July 4th , in afternoon I took some pictures of the Strip, done some gambling --slots, then had dinner at the Grand Buffet inside MGM Grand casino hotel. Later that evening little more gambling--slots at MGM Grand. During that July 4th afternoon I done some shopping at Fashion Show Mall on the Las Vegas Strip , Starbucks Coffee inside that mall then did stop at ABC Stores where Hawaiian coffee is being sold there and i also shopped at Borders Express.

My original plan for July 4th saturday night 2009 was to attend to a major theatrical event called, " Cirque Du Soleil" held at the KA theater inside the huge MGM Grand complex. MGM Grand hotel is one of the largest hotels in the world in the number of hotel rooms!!! WOW ! But that original plan was collapsed due to the fact that "Cirque Du Soleil" show on July 4th saturday night was already sold out ! Darn it ! Last year , July 2008 in my first trip to Las Vegas ever in my life I went to see that " Cirque Du Soleil" at MGM Grand and I loved it ! Awesome !
To be continued to Part 4 , so please stay tuned. Thanks

Las Vegas trip part 2

Tourists do not have to walk around the Strip , as in Las Vegas Strip in hot weather because you can ride on air-conditioned Monorail but it is not free. A one-time ticket costs 5.00 per person, cheaper than taxicabs.

Last friday night July 3rd I wanted to swim in one of pools at the Grandview Resorts which is a vacation condos (also called Timeshare condos) but my plan to swim that same night was ruined by a stupid thunderstorm!

Next day Saturday 4th I took few pictures of the Grandview Resorts. Then I had a light lunch with a representative from Grandview Resorts. To be continued to part 3 .

My trip to Las Vegas

It was my 2nd time in Las Vegas and I stayed at Grandview Resorts which is on South Las Vegas Blvd also called , "The Strip" . I wonder why there never been a casino on site at any timeshare resort anywhere in Las Vegas ? I was there in Las Vegas this past July 4th holiday weekend.

My favorite casinos are: MGM Grand, Treasure Island (TI) . I like slot machines but I want to learn how to play video poker slots, blackjack , and blackjack slots.

I know that there was a Deaf Seniors conference in Las Vegas last week but I am little young to attend to this conference.

I already think about going to Las Vegas for 3rd time next year.

Deaf schools closed forever ???

According to National Association of the Deaf (NAD) website ...http://www.nad.org It says that Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) might be closed forever repeat closed forever due to state budget problems. That ISD is owned and run by the State of Illinois. I graduated from that deaf school ISD (high school) in 1980, 29 years ago. I want my old school ISD to stay open for many years in future.

For more information on the possible closure of Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) please go to National Association of the Deaf (NAD) website www.nad.org

Please keep deaf schools open for the sake of deaf children and the deaf community in our country. Let's start a new movement, " Save the deaf schools".

Thanks ,

North Korea still launch more missiles and it decide to go ahead with its nuclear weapon program , so could North Korea a part of " King of the East " which will be the political and military alliance of Far East Asia described in Holy Bible ??? Is North Korea included in bible prophecy ? Will Red China annex North Korea as its new province ? Who Knows ???



A big question here is ....will North Korea or Red China attack United States with its long range ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads ??? I hope not.



Let's pray for world peace now ...Amen !

Israeli prime minister 's visit to the USA

I am glad that President Obama welcomed Israeli Prime Minister to the White House. It is a good move for the US--Israel relations. I understand that they support the creation of a separate palestinean state ,but is it necessary to create a nation like that ??? I does not think so and palestinian people should learn to live in peace!

Palestinian people should move to Egypt or Syria or Jordan, why should they continue to live in Israel ??? They should leave all jews alone !!!!

online business opportunities

I have been doing my own research into online business opportunties and most of them are scams which make me nuts. It wastes my time and money. Is there a government agency either on federal or state level which weeds out these kinds of scams similiar to "Consumer Reports" magazine which tells which consumer products are good and which of them are lemons ???


Please let me know , Is it a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ??? or another agency ? I need to find some honest, real good online business opportunties , best examples are : Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobles, BestBuy ...you get idea ?

I really need to make some money on the Web asap , I am serious about that !

Thanks

Update on Swine flu

I realize that swine flu cannot spread through pork products such as bacon, ham,etc. There are already some confirmed cases of swine flu here in Arizona.

Today is the national day of prayer ... So let's pray that swine flu get contained or even cured as soon as possible, Amen ?

Let's pray you all are healthy now , amen .

Concerns about Swine Flu

Is our Federal Government doing all it can to cope with Swine Flu ?? I wonder about that. So far as of 6 pm Arizona time there is no confirmed cases of Swine Flu here in Arizona I hope that Arizona Government will do better job handling that public health crisis better than Washington ! It is rumored that Swine flu can spread through pork products such as bacon, ham and pork chops , true ??? I don't know about it whether it is true ??? But thank God Almighty that I quit eating these pork products years ago for sake of my long term health ! I am not a jew or a muslim . I am a protestant christian . Let's pray that public health crisis will be over by July 4th Independence Day for the sake of our nation's future and even our national security! Amen ? Yes , Amen !

Have a healthy future .

March against Sheriff Joe Arpaio
