Plot Summary: "Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant," based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.
16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend Steve (Josh Hutcherson), got decent grades and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and his buddy stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That's the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) turns him into something, well, bloodthirsty.
Newly undead, he joins the Cirque Du Freak, a touring sideshow filled with monstrous creatures from a snakeboy and a wolfman to a bearded lady (Salma Hayek) and a gigantic barker (Ken Watanabe). As Darren flexes his newfound powers in this dark world, he becomes a treasured pawn between the vampires and their deadlier counterparts. And while trying to survive, one boy will struggle to keep their brewing war from devouring what's left of his humanity.

Harriett F. SeithOctober 27,2012
Harriett F. SeithHarriett F. Seith
POULTNEY Harriett F. Seith, 95, formerly residing with her son, Jack Seith of Poultney, Vt., passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 24, 2012, at The Orchard Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre in North Granville, N.Y., following a long illness.
She was born on September 28, 1917, in Jamaica-Queens, N.Y., the daughter of the late Dennis and Mary (Haas) Harnett.
In April of 2002, Harriett and husband moved from Coram, N.Y., to Poultney, Vt., to be closer to her son and daughter.
Harriett was a member of St. Margarets Roman Catholic Church on Long Island.
She and her husband John were united in Marriage on May 11, 1937, and were happily married for 69 years. They traveled extensively throughout Europe several times and enjoyed many cruises together. John passed away October 5, 2006.
Harriett was employed by the Long Island National Bank in Hicksville, N.Y., prior to her retirement. After her retirement, she volunteered for St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson for more than 10 years.
Among her many interests, she especially enjoyed spending time with her husband and family, reading, cooking and needlework.
Besides her parents and her husband John, she is predeceased by her son, Paul Seith who passed away in 1995; one brother, Robert Harnett; and two sisters, Rita Durcan and Cecelia Doyle.
Survivors include her son, Jack Seith of Poultney, Vt.; two daughters, Kathy Kann and her husband Edwin of Hebron, N.Y., and Floral City, Florida, and Christine Hugick and her husband Larry of Princeton, N.J.; her daughter-in-law, Gail Seith of Smithtown, N.Y.; five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated at a future date and time, to be announced in the spring. There will be no calling hours.
The family suggests that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent in her memory to the Young at Heart Senior Citizens Center, Furnace St., Poultney, VT 05764.
The family wishes to thank the staff of The Orchard Nursing Home for the excellent care they provided to Harriett over the years.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Michael G. Angiolillo Funeral Home, 210 Broadway, Whitehall, N.Y.MORE IN Obituaries0828 RH Obits Withington brief no photo no flag Full Story0828 RH Obits Patch paid photo flag Full Story0828 RH Obits Donahue rites no photo no flag Full Story

The leader of another opposition party in New Zealand, Winston Peters of New Zealand First, says he intends to vote for Mr Goff's motion.
The former New Zealand foreign minister says the relaxation of the Australian and New Zealand sanctions against members of the Fiji interim government has been a mistake.
He wants the Fiji military to lose its access to lucrative United Nations peacekeeping duties, and for the British Army to stop hiring Fijian soldiers.
Winston Peters tells Bruce Hill the New Zealand parliament is strongly united about Fiji.
We contacted the Fiji government for comment on this story, but have not received a reply.
Presenter: Bruce Hill.
Speaker: New Zealand First Party leader and former New Zealand foreign minister, Winston Peters
Free. Fair. Fearless. Intelligentsiya is made up of Fiji Islanders who are libertarians in their own way and who cherish the free flow of news, ideas and information and will peacefully resist any attempts by the country's military rulers to stifle free speech. intelligentsiya will also bear witness, report and discuss human rights abuses by the authorities.

"Under terms of the contract, Britney will be paid around $15 million a year. She will travel out of state for auditions, as long as it doesn't interfere with her custodial time with her sons. The boys will be allowed to come to the set whenever Britney wants them there. Her sons are her number one priority.

I love David's Vangie videos! So funny and sweet at the same time.
Next week's mentor is Stevie Nicks
Nigel Lythgoe
@dizzyfeetOur mentor was great this week. http://lockerz.com/s/195215160
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ACMLXLYSSX73RNYQOUZWSO2I4U Enough already!
Can't think of anything more controversial than Simon blaming everyone but himself for his crappy first season of X Factor. The talent wasn't there–period, nor was any excitement. Firing Paula won't make him more popular, and people are only going to tune in to see if Britney is more than a talking head, then tune out unless she proves to be a show in itself.
http://twitter.com/raya4 raya
That explains why the kids were so excited when they got out of their mentoring sessions this week.
For the love of God, she MUST bring that wind machine!
http://www.velvetspark.com Jordan Seltzer
No talent on XF? Thats interesting. There seem to be quite a few who have come out with some sweet deals. Simon and Syco have done a great job with their post show roles. Idol could learn a few things.
Enjoyed David A.'s Vangie video today. After watching a very emotional Finale of his 5 week Mini Series of Nandito Ako and listening to a Ustream of his beautiful Love songs from his new album Forevermore, and watching a tribute video by hundreds of fans from all over the world letting David know we will be there, it was nice to see something light!! Time is getting very close for David to leave on his Two Year Mission. He is in the studio again tonight recording for a US album which will be released in the Fall while he is gone.
Had to laugh at the Vangie video. David and food. He was like a kid in a candy shop looking at all the food. The boy does like to eat.
Journey1, David A really does love trying different foods. That's probably why his performance was so convincing in that Vangie skit. One of the biggest sacrifices David will probably have to make during his mission is giving up all the different kinds of foods he has been able to try the past four years. Hopefully he will be close enough to a big city or town or even a big hotel that he'll be able to make the occasional trip for the Thai food he so loves.
Kitwana At least David is very adventurous in trying new things, so if he get sent to a place where the food is unusual, he will be fine. Some young people are used to eating burgers, fries, etc. I have a feeling he will be sent someplace in the boondocks where he might not be recognized.
Why couldn't Simon make "the show he always wanted to make" last year? He had a year and a half to put X-Factor together after he left AI.
I'm not sure I want to see the show Simon has "always wanted to make". I can only take so much sleaze in my life on any given day and he has already stuck his toe on that line a few time.
Whatever J.Lo, I have no interest in what you have to say…
They have done such a great job that Melanie's album is being released a year after she wins…
Just bought Haley's single from Amazon and had to do a double take…James Durbin's Stand Up is the #1 song in the Movers & Shakers on Amazon today?? I certainly didn't expect to see that!
I have a feeling he will be sent someplace in the boondocks where he might not be recognized.
I'm trying to visualize where that could be. People will probably recognize David almost everywhere he goes. When Mormon missionaries ring my doorbell, I always tell them no thanks and wish them a nice day. But I'm afraid if David comes to my door, I will invite him in and listen to every word he has to say. :)
http://www.velvetspark.com Jordan Seltzer
In the "real world" not "reality tv world" artists are signed and they actually take time working on an album to make it good, not push it out in two months.
I suspect there are a lot of homes at which David will not be recognized. Maybe not whole sections of the area but at many houses. I know many, many people who have never seen AI and could not place anyone -other than the biggest stars of the show – or even name most of them.
I doubt he will not be placed anywhere near Salt Lake or the Phillipines where he seems to be the most popular.
http://profile.yahoo.com/XDQP2Y46M5B3OHOKALDDGDHQCM Leandro
Steven Tyler and Randy, the contestants who are there now are the ones YOU put there and you knew exactly what they would do. Stop this stupid bitching.
Karen C
For some reason, Simon thinks that it's better to wait until the next season of the show to release their albums. He did the same thing to the winner of the UK X Factor.
Maybe good for them to have more time, but they should get them out a bit quicker than a year.
""It will be the show I've always wanted to make, and now I have the ability to do it," he said."
Considering that Simon has said this, I definitely do NOT regard it as a good thing. lol
Some tantalizing possible future news from Elliott's twitter:
If @elliottyamin @BlakeLewis and @ImMattGiraud were all at the same place at the same time together, my mind would explode #loveyouguys
Elliott Yamin
hmmm….dont hold me 2 it, but that MIGHT actually happen soon!http://twitter.com/#!/elliottyaminElliott, Blake and Matt G — That would be a whole lot of interesting musicianship all in one place. Sounds good to me. I'm still hoping to see more of Matt.
James' stand up was the Amazon song of the day Thursday for $0.69
That's nice that Lauren and Scotty will be on Day Jobs. But lol, their true "day job" was being a student so will they show them going back to class? And can either of them have held a part-time job very long?
The show won't be that interesting long-term if the "Day Job" is just temp employment and not really anything that was a significant part of someone's background before making it on the music scene.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_AGWO435FL6UN2ICRVTFLWRJZSA Lexie
While neither Lauren nor Scotty could have held their part-time jobs for very long, the whole list is varied.
And throw in people like Hunter Hayes, who have never done anything except music (for better and worse) are getting to do their dream jobs…come one, did they really give them a choice? I'd pick my dream job over going back to waitressing any day (nothing wrong with being a waitress, just saying my dream job, wait, I'm doing my dream job, at least part time, okay that made my day…), but you all get my point…
After I saw that with Stand Up last night I did some checking myself – I couldn't believe my eyes. You are right that it was the song of the day, but it was 99 cents, not 69 cents. Maybe after this sale is over, they should try putting it up for 69 cents too at a later time.
Desperate for sales for James' Stand Up @ 69 cents!
Speaking of prices, who sets them? The record label or Amazon? I can never figure out why some people are priced higher than others. Like James' singles have always been $1.29 (until this sale of Stand Up). But I just bought Haley's yesterday and it was 99 cents and that is a brand new release. I don't understand their pricing on Amazon. Unless maybe it's the record label helping to set the prices.
"Desperate for sales for James' Stand Up @ 69 cents!"
Umm, that is not unusual. Casey James song has been 69 cents for a significant part of its presence. It was dropped to 69 cents when it entered the top 40 to get sales. And again at top 30 to improve sales. It stayed there for a long time. And it worked, the song started to sell. It's free now; but that is just to garner interest in album sales.
I've noted other songs on sale (even older ones) for 69 cents.
It's more fun watching Scotty say, "do you want paper or plastic? " and seeing Lauren in one of those awful fast food hats drop a pizza. A lot has already leaked out about their school activities. Lauren the cheerleader and Scotty the choir boy/pitcher.
They have even done free songs but I don't see it as desperate. When you go into Starbucks there often is a card for a free tune. It just comes down to exposure. Heck even some artists have to sing for free until they find an audience.
That's what I don't understand. Why would Casey James be 69 cents, but James Durbin be $1.29 without going on sale until now with Stand Up being 99 cents, when James has clearly been struggling all along with single sales. Who decides, I wonder, when singles go on sale. I think a 69 cent sale for James Durbin would probably help him out a lot. Clearly even putting Stand Up on sale for 99 cents has helped his sales of that song the past few days. Guess I just don't understand why if James has been struggling with his single sales, they have him so high priced. Love Me Bad still is, and always has been as far as I know, $1.29 – higher than a lot of other singles.
I really do not think it matters much what they did or how long they did it the show is just a vehicle to see someone you enjoy as a performer doing something else.
Did anyone understand what Steven said at the end of the video regarding Casey? It sounded like the first time Steven saw him was on a plane not auditioning for American Idol..
IMO, I don't think Archuleta will be recognizable almost everywhere. Maybe in the Philippines and Utah.
Nele621 You would be surprised to see a map of where he has fans. Someone made one up a year or so ago. He has fan clubs all over the world. Germany, Spain, Chile, Peru, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. People recognize him and tweet that recognition all over the US. I am sure the PTB had serious discussions about where to send him. David will do well wherever he goes and will not expect any special privileges.
Kathy and Hoda visit the set of this weeks Celebrity Apprentice so I am sure Clay and the girls will have much to talk about. Should be fun.
http://twitter.com/gator90 Cookie Dunker
I think people are just getting tired of these talent shows.
AI still seems to produce a good one now and then, as Scotty can attest, but not like in the early days. You really don't hear much about any of the winners from other shows.
http://twitter.com/gator90 Cookie Dunker
Really looking forward to Celebrity Apprentice this week. Today show will be interesting to get some behind the scenes stuff, and Clay is always fun and interesting.
If you haven't been following David Archuleta's journey you'd be pretty shocked to see how well known David A is internationally and also in other states besides Utah lol.

I just read all above comments regarding the quality of imported chinese made motorbikes.But the fact is you can still find Honda, Yamaha, those big brands are made in China this days. I even saw chinese parts on made in Japan ATVs.When business man try to import cheap motorcycles, they will try to cut the cost as low as they can. It's price driven, you probably will see motorcycles made in other asia countries, if importers can find even cheaper bikes to compete with Chinese motorcycles.I try to dig the manufacturer for WK650 and found the website http://www.cfmoto.cn/. This motorbike is actually designed by company called WK from UK.

text: How To Make An iPhone App Beginner's Guide – What You Need To Get Started Have you always wanted to make your own iPhone application for gaming or business purposes, but weren't sure what to learn or how to get started? Many folks would like to bring their idea to life, and even make money selling their app in the Apple iPhone store, but the first bit of know-how needed is programming, hardware, design, and even research to know what to offer a starving crowd. Now, in this article we cannot cover everything that you would need to know to make an iPhone app, but we can get you started and pointed in the right direction, and as you will soon see – making an application that is ready for the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch is very much an achievable goal, and it can be quite fun along the way. PROGRAMING First of all, the backbone of iPhone application programming is the language, which is Obective C, a very similar language to C+. Its not necessary to understand the C language, because you can always hire a programmer for a reasonable price, but it certainly makes it easier to have some experience in this standard. I would suggest therefor that you consider looking up a basic how-to tutorial on the web that teaches C+ or C++, and get yourself a compiler to run the programs that you will be making with basic code. There are loads of these tutorials all over, and most are free. HARDWARE Although it isn't a must to create an iPhone app only on a Apple computer, it is recommended that you are the very least have a copy of the device that you intent to design for. This is very important so that you can understand how your program will all run together. It will make it easier on you to have an Apple computer with the latest version of OSX. SOFTWARE Next, you will need to download the SDK, which stands for Software Developer's Kit. This is free and can be acquired at the Apple developer's page. It will come with the Apple iPhone simulator so that you may test your program along the way, frameworks, and the Xcode editor where you will be working with the majority of your code. This will integrate with Cocos2d, which will be responsible for bringing the functionality and visualization of your application to life. DESIGN Before you start anything, have a good idea of the look and feel of your app. Decide early on if it should be for entertainment purposes or business matters and then identify your crowd. Ask yourself, who will use this? Who will like it? How will it benefit them? What is the point? This will help you pave the way for the feel, visuals and even sounds such as the soundtrack and audio effects, especially if it's a iPhone game. WHO IS YOUR MARKET? Learn your market inside and out. Do keyword research, youtube video research, website demographic research, and even browse through similar apps in the Apple app store so that you can see which ones are popular, why this is so, and which ones are doing poorly, and why they are failing to meet demand. This step should be done first. This will tell you what to make, and whom to design it for. During the design process when you are getting a feel for the look and sounds, try drawing out your app. Make sure, that just like when planning out a website, you map out the flow by drawing thumbnails of each menu screen, each bit of game play, action and characters. ...Learn How To Make An iPhone App From Start To Finish! >> Make An iPhone App

Hey Terps fans. Syracuse fan here, and pretty excited to be playing you all for the first and only time in the ACC. Should be a good game between our two mediocre squads (AKA ACC squads not including FSU and Clemson).
Anyway, I was wondering if you could help me figure out the parking situation. I'm looking to do a little pregame tailgating and from all the maps and policies I've read on your school's site, it looks like my only option to park is in a garage. That wouldn't really be conducive to tailgating.
It looked like there were some uncovered cash lots, but those all seemed to require some permit that I couldn't figure out how to get.
Maybe you guys can point me in the direction of some unofficial parking/tailgating spots that might work, or let me know if it's possible to get into those other uncovered cash lots.
Any help would be much appreciated. Sorry to see our ACC meetings start and stop so soon, but at least we're getting our money's worth with both a football and hoops game down here this year.

Upcoming DiGRA 2014 Conference Paper
I will be presenting the second conference publication to come out of my PhD research at the DiGRA 2014 Conference in Utah in August - eep! A preview of the abstract is available below.

Disrupting the Player's Schematised
Knowledge of Game Components
Knowledge of Game Components

Portsmouth, PO1 2DJ, United Kingdom
The concept of 'conservatism' in game design has been a subject of debate for a number of years. This 'conservatism' is linked to 'player-centricity' in design. Such player-centricity can be suggested to place a limit on the fulfilment of high level cognitive player needs. A framework is thus proposed for disruptive game design that focuses on the player and how they learn about game components. It actively seeks the disruption of knowledge construction as well as the recall process used in applying that knowledge to new situations. Such disruption aims to increase the player's cognitive engagement with the game in a way that does not entirely prevent them from understanding the game, which may cause frustration or confusion. This design approach thus aims to provide greater potential for fulfilment of a player's high level cognitive needs. The framework is applied to a small case study of the game Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (The Chinese Room, 2013) that was designed and developed utilising its principles.

Flap Off: Creative Conservatism and the App Market
It's been a while since my last post, dwelling as I currently am in the depths of thesis-writing purgatory. However, on a recent excursion to the surface to obtain coffee and sunlight, I had the pleasure of observing the Flappy Bird saga (no, King. No.) and considering how well it epitomises one of the most consistent issues within the games industry. I'm going to focus in particular in this article on the mobile app marketplace, but this applies to console titles too, although possibly in a slightly different way.
In 1998 Greg Costikyan described what he referred to as a 'conservatism' within the industry - an avoidance of true innovation in favour of what Chris Crawford (2003, p.115) refers to as incremental 'accretive' improvement and tweaking of existing ideas. J.C. Herz also lamented this problem in a further 1998 article which has recently been republished with its continuing relevance 15 years later specifically highlighted.
More recently, Mikolaj Dymek (2010, 2012) narrowed the problem down to what he refers to as 'creative conservatism'. There is a void between the fast pace of technological innovation, with hardware and software constantly pushing at the limits of what games can do, whilst the speed of artistic or design innovation struggles along behind, puffing and wheezing, attempting to show what games are able to be but with only a few people listening.
Games research is providing a number of interesting avenues for consideration that may offer ways out of this creative rut, my own research included. The problem is that, of course, from a business perspective, if it sells then we need to obviously make more of the same.
This is an argument I entirely agree with, to an extent. In fact, Bateman and Boon (2006) provide an excellent argument for why such an approach is, in part, vital for a sustainable industry. The 'conservative games' sustain interest and provide a basis from which innovation can sprout. The problem is though, the balance appears to have been distorted in favour of conservative design a little too far.
The responses to Flappy Bird from both players and also from other developers has been, at best, disappointing and at worst, downright disgusting. This is not to suggest that Flappy Bird itself should be let off the hook of course. Clearly, the game bears striking similarities both to Piou Piou and to Mario. The game is by no means innocent. However, after such a backlash leading to the game being removed from sale (for whatever reason - I'm in no position to postulate as to why), the explosion of shameless copies appearing just on the Google Play store is incredible.
|Destructoid provide a very succinct visualisation of the problem...
The simple presence of such copies is not surprising in itself of course. This will always happen when anything successful emerges. The Million Dollar Homepage by Alex Tew sticks in my mind as a particularly good example. The lure of possible easy money is seemingly difficult for even the most ethical to resist.
Some of these copies aren't really doing anything too abhorrent. The original game is unavilable after all and many copies are free or ad-supported, likely serving as practice apps for budding developers. Are they really hurting anybody? Well here lies one of the issues which links back to the main theme of creative conservatism. If the first apps that upcoming designers and developers are making are copies of others, how will they ever learn to be independent thinkers, innovative designers - truly creative? In the short-term, no they probably aren't hurting anybody, but longer-term, they will at some point need to think for themselves - so why not start early. Do you want to have that Flappy Bird clone as your first venture into the industry? Really?
This Kickstarter project only serves to further highlight this. Not content with having a cloned (and, possibly incrementally 'accreted') version of the game, this group of students have made themselves visible to the entire world, asking for money from backers to release yet another identical game into the market. This serves only to highlight a complete lack of understanding (of legality, of ethics, of design practice, of just about everything that those wanting to work in the games industry require) and to immediately destroy credibility, leading to the type of responses that may be expected...
As Matthew Handrahan (2014) reports, Apple and Google are now taking (admittedly simplistic) steps to prevent obvious clones appearing on their storefronts. However this only appears to be surface level blocking of apps with 'Flappy' in their names. As discussed by Ken Carpenter of Mind Juice Media, changing the name of their app from Flappy Dragon to Derpy Dragon successfully circumvented the blocking, despite the gameplay being identical to Flappy Bird. The initial argument to the blocking of Flappy Dragon feigned innocence, suggesting that it can't be identical to Flappy Bird as the app no longer existed on the store. An argument that, via reductio ad absurdum can be followed through to it being acceptable to make shameless copies of anything that once existed but is no longer 'available' in its original form. If a book goes out of print, another author cannot change a few words of the original manuscript and release it again with a slightly altered title.
Previous stories surrounding the likes of Zynga and more recently, King.com demonstrate that it isn't just the little guys causing the problem. The big boys are equally adept at lacking creative drive. With behemoths setting the precedent at one end of the market, and the likes of Flappy Bird clones by the pipe-full at the other, the small percentage of genuinely innovative games are swamped by a deluge of identikits until they eventually fall off the radar entirely.
|Making something different - being playful - is increasingly difficult...
This in turn makes it much less likely that developers will risk making something different, or making something that they feel passionate about because the odds are that they won't make enough of a return on their work. Thus, a choice is presented. Do what you love (make games), but do so knowing that your creative juices will have to be stifled somewhat if you want to make a reasonable income. Or, do what you love (make games) and accept that you will have to have another source of income to support yourself whilst making the innovative experiences you want to make.
Creative conservatism, in all its guises and through all of its commercial and artistic causes has the same impact - it breeds further, more greatly entrenched conservatism. If games are ever going to evolve beyond the plateau they're currently sitting on, this needs to be addressed. The low cost of app development (compared to console development) provides a perfect opportunity for innovation and slightly more wacky, risky concepts to be tried out. It is a perfect foundation on which to build things that demonstrate what games have the potential to be. Unfortunately, it isn't being used to anywhere near its full potential.

Savita there are two lines in a ghazal Yeh kiska intezar hay available on this web site - -
Kutch hum barhen kutch aao tum, yeh fasley mitaen hum,
Gale milen miten gile, yeh kiska intezar hay.
A point in all the affairs of life exists whereat the distances are eliminated, but efforts are needed to locate that point. (Report) Reply
Savita Tyagi
A Point
An affable desire rising from deeps of my heart
To search for a point where you and I can meet
A segue from rift to harmony
A soft touch, a moment of peace
A place to rest for restless mind
When bitter redundant passions turn sangfroid
I look around to see sky and earth meeting at horizon
The sanguine dusk embracing the night and day
The river rushing to meet the ocean
All my life I have been searching for something like wise
Never knowing the abscess of sorrow
Needs to be dissolved first to seek joy
The nub of life- the point of nirvana
But I need you to hold my hand to walk with me
Let's walk together in a world
Where mysteries of life still unfold
All those years I have tried to touch you in vain
I will take two steps for your one
But you have to move from your point of isolation.

Health: The body snatcher
It's spread by blood-sucking ticks and can lead to facial paralysis, meningitis and arthritis but, as Angela Howard found out, GPs are often slow to diagnose Lyme disease
Tuesday 16 March 1999
A week later, an American friend recognised my circles from posters displayed in a doctor's surgery on the east coast of America. She told me I could have "Lyme disease" and urged me to have a blood test.
The next day I went to my local GP's surgery. First I was told that we don't get Lyme disease in this country and then that you could get it, but only in the New Forest. As I hadn't been to the New Forest and this was Berkshire, the doctor said it was unlikely to be Lyme disease and suggested I came back the following week if the circles got bigger. After much insistence, the doctor agreed to give me a blood test to eliminate the possibility of Lyme disease.
The summer holidays were in full swing and all the time I felt something was not quite right. My memory was muddled, my muscles and joints ached, I had blinding headaches, acute hearing, hot flushes, jumpy vision as well as tingling down one side of my body. I felt weepy; my appetite had long gone, I was losing weight and I had diarrhoea and thrush. But eventually the mysterious red circles on my arm disappeared, so I thought there was no need to panic.
In August my doctor rang. My blood test was positive. I had Lyme disease, "whatever that is". The doctor prescribed a 10-day course of the antibiotic oxytetracycline.
Then began the search for more information on "slimy limy", as I called it. My friend Sally, who is a doctor, soon sent me a mile-long fax of reports on the disease, found on the Internet. They were very detailed and recommended antibiotics for four to six weeks. She advised me to eat yoghurt and take two acidophilus capsules after meals, use Canesten against thrush, and take evening primrose capsules and multivitamins to counteract the effects of the antibiotics.
Lyme disease is spread by ticks which transmit a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Before they bite, the ticks inject an anaesthetic so you don't know you have been bitten and, although they may be attached for 24 hours, they're easy to miss because they are as tiny as poppy seeds.
I couldn't imagine how I had come into contact with it: I have a fear of snakes so never walk through long grass, moorland, bracken or woodland. Ticks are prevalent in areas where deer are common, as the tick feeds on the deer which can be infected with Borrelia burgdorferi. The tick subsequently passes on the organism when it feeds again on its nearest host which could be human, sheep, rabbit, horse, cat or dog.
I showed my doctor the reports and he increased my antibiotics to four weeks. Then I tracked down a doctor who had diagnosed Lyme disease locally, he told me that he believed many cases went undiagnosed because doctors didn't know what to look for. And this was something I was beginning to discover for myself as I heard from other sufferers. I rang a woman who lives nearby and who had had Lyme three years ago. Her doctor had been baffled by her symptoms but treated her for shingles. Eventually one side of her face had become paralysed, and she was given steroids. It wasn't until a laboratory assistant from the New Forest decided to test for Lyme that they discovered what was wrong with her.
Lyme disease was named after Old Lyme in Connecticut in the United States, where a cluster of cases was diagnosed in 1974. Early English settlers named Old Lyme after Lyme Regis in Dorset, and it is possible that they brought the ticks and the disease with their livestock to the New World.
Only 30 per cent of ticks are said to carry Borrelia burgdorferi in this country, so not all tick bites will lead to Lyme disease. In 1997 the Public Health Laboratory Service reported 180 cases of Lyme disease in England and Wales, and 160 in 1998. In the US there were 12,801 cases in 1997. Americans can take heart; SmithKline Beecham has been working on a vaccine for the disease and a slightly different version of the product is being prepared for Europe, where different strains of the disease are prevalent.
Some sufferers outside the US have found it hard to be taken seriously by the medical profession - even if they are members of it. A Finnish psychiatrist, Dr Vartiovaara, contracted Lyme disease in 1987, while attending a conference in Canada. Ironically, he found a blood-gorged tick in an ashtray in his room one morning and took a photograph of it, then thought no more about it. Three weeks later his joints ached and his eyesight deteriorated. His medical colleagues suspected brain cancer or multiple sclerosis. After 16 months he was hardly able to drive a car, type, or work a full day. He could only walk with orthopaedic shoes, keeping close to the walls so he did not fall down.
Soon after this the hospital said there was nothing they could or would do for him. He dictated a farewell letter to a colleague in America who had attended the same conference in Canada. She replied suggesting that he must have Lyme disease and sent him reports about it. After treatment in both the US and Finland, Dr Vartiovaara made slow progress, but in 1992 at the age of 45 he became the first person in Finland to be pensioned off on the basis of Lyme disease. After six years of treatment the organism was found to be still alive in his body.
He says he is now an invalid with a totally unknown prognosis. "I think of the many Lyme patients who remain undiagnosed ... there must be many who never get the tests. They must suffer enormously, running from doctor to doctor seeking help in vain. One of the worst insults is to be labelled a chronic complainer. The point is that if one gets the right diagnosis early, it is very simple to treat."
From my own experience, GPs should be made fully aware of the symptoms and treatment for Lyme disease. If a patient has "flu symptoms" it may not in fact be flu but could be Lyme disease. If left untreated complications such as facial paralysis, meningitis, arthritis, carditis and encephalitis can develop.
It's a long journey back to health for the sufferer of Lyme disease, and an endless one for those who don't realise they have been infected until years later. A year on, it is a relief that my limb- and joint- pains have almost gone and I am learning to live with the fatigue. I feel lucky to have caught the disease relatively early, and the oral antibiotics seem to have killed the organism.
I now view my garden and the great outdoors with suspicion. I am proof that you don't just catch Lyme from areas such as the New Forest, Scotland or Richmond Park. These ticks, which look like tiny spiders, are everywhere - even in towns and cities and can even be passed on to humans by their pets.
From March, when the ticks start to breed, I shall take great care to check that I haven't attracted any tiny tick companions by keeping my skin covered, using insect repellent and checking my family's clothes and skin for ticks when returning indoors.
Although I never saw my tick, if you do find one embedded in your skin it is wisest to cover it with petroleum jelly or suntan cream to suffocate it. Gently remove it with tweezers by grasping it as close to its mouth as possible and lifting carefully with a twisting motion. Make sure the tick is completely removed, then apply antiseptic.
