On November 7th last year, I set myself a goal: to pass the Army Physical Fitness Test for a female my age. Link to original goal set, with dates to test:
I put myself through it this morning, as I did New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day.
Well, as one might expect, focusing my training on the Half Marathon kind of undermined some of the target training for this one. In fact, I didn't train for it at all. And today my results were:
Push ups: 29
Sit ups: 19 - yes, I got worse. Sigh.
2 mile run: 19:02 - I gave it my all, and . I think some of my "grr" at the sit ups result went into extra effort in the run.
Next test on the 4th of July: I'm going to do a lot better on those sit ups!
The theme from Mr. Ed drifts through the mind. Yesterday after my maintenance consultation I took a drive up the road to a State Park, and bought my sticker for the year. Now I can get back in any time I like, at least this year... bike, walk, jog, skate, sled, swim, see the plays... or, sign up and go on a trail ride.
When I got to the stables, I read the sign: purchase tickets at park office. So I walked back to the park office, leaving the car in one spot the whole visit. I asked about the trail rides and found out you can only reserve for the actual day! And you can only reserve by phone at ten a.m. for the spots left among the horses they are taking out that day. So, pretty tight deal.
And... they had a spot available on the 1:30 p.m. trail ride. Two hours away, I thought, checking my watch. I hadn't intended on staying out too long, but... why not? If the work team thing doesn't come together, I'd actually have achieved my "get on a horse" wish, if I just signed up right then. So, I did!
I walked the loop around the park, figuring out where the various venues were. Pretty cool place, really. You know, for all that I live less than 25 miles from this park, I'd only been there once before. I have no idea why not... perhaps because the park was developed during the 15 years I lived in other states? Perhaps because I don't get out enough.
I got to the stables early, and one of the wranglers beckoned me to come on up to the fence and stroke the horses that were tied on that side as they got ready. I did so, talking softly and petting them. They had their names on their halters and they were all beautiful. Palomino, Paint, Appaloosa, roan, grey, bay... stockings, stars... lovely, patient, some frisky, a couple liked the attention, a couple shied away.
A little later a happy and somewhat noisy group of foreign "kids", I'll call them, arrived, the bulk of the riders. And a family with a couple of little girls. And me. We listened to the safety speech, were offered safety helmets, and then they chose who would go on which of the horses.
The head guy had asked me when I came up and was petting horses if I was riding out with them today and which time. I'd told him. He put me on Toby, one of the more "independent" minded of the string. Apparently Toby used to work as a wrangler's horse, and therefore wasn't quite as accustomed to being just a horse following the horse in front of him. He needed to be "reminded" from time to time not to sneak up on the lead wrangler's horse and nip. I was kind of flattered to be given a mount that required some level of interaction. Otherwise, have you really been on a horseback ride?
We got to see a wild turkey in the woods. Lots of birds singing, great views. And when we got back and dismounted, I kind of floated back to the car and drove home with an incredible sense of peace in my soul.
Oh, and those of you who gripe about doing hip abductor exercises? If you ever go riding, you'll be glad you did them!
Every so often, I have to preach to myself about rewards. Why is that? Because I tend to forget to give myself the little rewards and savor them. And I sometimes neglect to follow through on the long-promised bigger rewards, "because something more important came up."
Rewards come in all sizes, of course. Those of us with food issues historically think of rewards in terms of banana splits or whatever our favorite high-calorie indulgence might be... and since food is cheap and available, fast to grab... guess what happens if we don't give consideration to appropriate rewards, large and small?
So... part of the learning process of "acting as if" we were fit and healthy people (on the road to actually becoming the same)... is learning to choose rewards that are meaningful and appropriate to the victories.
Meaningful is a very personal thing... it should be something that gives YOU joy, not something someone else thinks of as a reward. It should be something that you actually label as "I did XYZ, and this is my reward!" "I stayed on my food plan for three weeks... I am buying this scented candle and lighting it to recognize I'm worth it!"
The big ones? I have been promising myself a massage ever since I hit my half-way point... what, 18 months ago? I never booked it! Even now! And until just now when I wrote this, I had kind of forgot I promised that to me... let's put that on the to-do list: schedule that massage.
But right now, the big focal point of the reward scale is the trail riding thing. Today, after my maintenance consultation, I intend to drive out to a nearby state park and investigate scheduling and rates. My work team (several of them, anyway) have said they will go with me... it's just one of those day trips, for those of you who asked, but it's something that's been on my list for a while.
And I even voiced it in front of other people... after I finish the half marathon... I'm going to get on a horse again! It's been 30 years. It's time. So... that's today: reward planning and the next steps to implementation.
What's on YOUR list of rewards you owe yourself?
I have to admit I have not done a vision statement or collage. I toy with my goals and aspirations, but a concrete written "here's what I want my life to be like in 5 years"? Nope. It's kind of like that exercise they gave us in school: "what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Seriously, though, when I reach a finish line, that is the next assignment: reassess, re-evaluate, and envision what to do next. Because if I DON'T have a vision of SOME sort, I subject myself to aimless wandering or the force of habit, which lasts only so long.
That said, what *do* I want my life to be like, five years from now? Well, pretty much what it's like now! Maybe a bit more organized. But pretty much as it is.
Meaningful work, safe home, sound nutrition, an active and strong body... contact with my family, siblings, nieces and nephews, son and his wife... OK, maybe grandkid(s) - but that last is not within my control.
This led to making my Vision statement that was required for a work wellness program: "This is the me I want to be for the rest of my life." And that's a fine maintenance vision.
So... here it is, four days later. We crossed the finish line. We got that tremendous rush of accomplishment. I celebrated, and I got back on my program. But... I'm not training for a half marathon any more. I'm thinking about "what's next."
There are some things that are constants:
1) I will keep taking my stress-busting walking breaks at work. This is something that continues to serve me well, and in more areas than physical fitness. They help my mind work better. They give me time to think, to reason away any anxiety that may be arising from the work day, any pressure or stresses.
2) I will continue my nutritious eating plan. Because I just plain feel better when eating well.
3) I have started increasing my strength training, which had kind of taken a lesser role while training for that half. I'm feeling the need.
4) I'm cherishing the many possibilities:
Will my next training effort involve a bicycle? I started pumping up the tires.
Will it involve a "nesting" - something around the house or yard? A lot of things have been neglected while I spent time training... but I need something that will inspire me... my eyes wander over my home, seeking, seeking.
Whatever it is, right now I feel good about it... it's out there somewhere... the next dream.
5) And there WILL be a reward. I've promised myself a trail ride, and several work mates have said they'll go with me. Yes, on horses!
Spark on, my friends... the journey is not over just because one crosses a finish line!

In late September, Conan O'Brien devoted to a week to the music of George Harrison, in honor of some of his music being re-released. I've mentioned before that my realization of how much I experienced George's loss was much more gradual than the shock of John Lennon's murder.

When I turned 50, I could think, "Maybe I still have another half a lifetime left." After all, the number of centenarians in the United States has been growing. Willard Scott, with whom I share a birthday, BTW, still announces the birthdays of those over 100 on NBC-TV's TODAY show, as far as I know.
Now that I am 60, though, I have to acknowledge that I'm not going to live another 60 years, even if I move to Azerbaijan and start eating yogurt soup. (And if I'm wrong, which one of you is going to write to correct me?)
I note this, not with melancholy or dismay, but with a certain resolve not to waste my time with X or Y. I've already done a fair job in that I've largely stopped caring about the negative things people who aren't friends and family say. It's not that I won't complain about them, and in fact, I'm even more likely to do so, probably in this blog; it's that the anger and frustration don't consume me, as they once did.
Once upon a time, every March 8 (the day after my birthday), I would play a particular Paul Simon tune. The lyric started:
Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My life's a mess
But I'm having a good time
I played that song annually for 20 years or more. I should get back to doing that again.
On June 5, the 25th anniversary edition of the landmark Paul Simon album Graceland will be released. It has a few demo or alternate tracks, plus something described as "The Story of 'Graceland' as told by Paul Simon," which could be interesting. But what is really intriguing is the DVD that comes with it, Under African Skies, directed by Joe Berlinger, which I saw on A&E a few days ago. It not only discusses the making of the album, and shows the reunion of many of the artists; it also addresses the huge controversy over the album and the subsequent tour.

When I mentioned the military draft earlier in the month, I may not have been very clear. Think of a large goldfish bowl with 365 or 366 balls with every date for the year represented.

Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Technically, I didn't make any, in that I didn't write any down. But probably not. Haven't figured how to do more exercise without it feel like exercise. Probably played racquetball a half dozen times in 2011; used to play 200 times a year before the local Y closed, but dropping off the daughter at school then needing two buses (or a bike and a bus, if the weather's decent) to get to work has made getting to play at Siena College difficult.

FDA Bars Generic Version of OxyContin
B. Eliot Cole, MD, MPA
Published Online:
Wednesday, April 17, 2013

Pharmacy Times
welcomes this guest post from B. Eliot Cole, MD, a member of the
Pain Management
editorial advisory board who has served in executive positions for several prominent pain management organizations and societies, including the American Society of Pain Educators and the American Academy of Pain Management. This post was originally published on
On April 16, 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that, "because original OxyContin provides the same therapeutic benefits as reformulated OxyContin, but poses an increased potential for certain types of abuse, the FDA has determined that the benefits of original OxyContin no longer outweigh its risks." Noting that original OxyContin was "withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness," the FDA announced that it "will not accept or approve any abbreviated new drug applications (generics) that rely upon the approval of original OxyContin."
Simply put, the FDA has decided that generic forms of the original formulation of OxyContin will not be allowed in the US market, period. The original form of OxyContin has been replaced by reformulated OxyContin (OxyNEO in Canada). This will mean that "hardened" forms of oxycodone and other extended-release (ER) or long-acting (LA) opioids will likely be required to employ "safety" features to be sold in the US.
Attempts to bring lower-cost generics, or alternative forms of controlled-release oxycodone to the US market will require competing manufacturers to utilize safety mechanisms such as incorporating multiple polymers to prevent users from crushing the pills into a fine powder, adding components to create gelling if added to water, or employing an opioid antagonist or some type of irritant in the medication to make misuse or abuse a very unpleasant experience.
The April 16
FDA press release
also recognized the changes made by Purdue Pharma to "harden" reformulated OxyContin, and granted permission for a label change indicating "the product has physical and chemical properties that are expected to make abuse via injection difficult and to reduce abuse via the intranasal route (snorting)." This is the first time the FDA has permitted a drug manufacturer to state that a narcotic medication has tamper-resistant properties.
Douglas Throckmorton, MD, deputy director for regulatory programs in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said, "The development of abuse-deterrent opioid analgesics is a public health priority for the FDA," and that while "both original and reformulated OxyContin are subject to abuse and misuse, the FDA has determined that reformulated OxyContin can be expected to make abuse by injection difficult and [be] expected to reduce abuse by snorting compared to original OxyContin."
It will be interesting to see whether the FDA makes a similar ruling regarding Endo Pharmaceuticals and Opana. The
New York Times
recently reported that Endo "has also petitioned the FDA seeking a similar claim of abuse resistance for a newer version of one of its drugs, Opana. If that claim proves successful, generic versions of the original form of Opana would also be barred." The
article also stated that "Over the last year, Purdue Pharma and Endo have pushed for federal legislation that would require many opioids to be tamper-resistant, and lobbied in favor of similar state laws."
This decision is likely to create pressure on all makers of ER/LA opioids to incorporate abuse-resistant or abuse-deterrent features in their medications. Currently, there is a 4-year Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) effort to train 320,000 US prescribers to better screen and treat pain sufferers with opioid analgesics. Together, the new push for "hardened" medications and better prescribing practices may significantly reduce overdose deaths associated with opioid misuse and abuse.

<----------Bethenny Frankel
I am obsessed!!!! OMG! Have you ever had one? I think - well, I know - I'm a little late to hop on the bandwagon. The Skinny Girl margarita was created by Bethenny Frankel. She's on the BRAVO TV Show "The Real Housewives of New York City." Anyway - she's always talked about this margarita that she created, but I never wanted to try one or make one because I always insisted my margaritas be FROZEN. But then on Monday night...I went to BARDO in Norfolk with some girlfriends. We ordered the Skinny Girl Margaritas. I had the bartender crush fresh strawberries in mine for some added flavor...and...OMG!! IT IS DELISH! I am OBSESSED!!! Here's a pic of mine:
And here's the video of Bethenny making her famous drink!
I'm gonna make 1 tonight for sure! And - if you aren't a drinker - no worries. Just make it without the alcohol & add lemonade instead of tequilla. Here's the recipe - I think I will add crushed up fresh strawberries to this. And use Triple Sec and Jose Cuervo Platinum Tequila. The Skinny Girl Margarita On the Rocks What you'll need: * 2 oz of clear Tequila.
* Count 1, 2 while you pour, no need for measuring! * A splash of fresh lime juice! * A splash of Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Triple Sec! Combine all ingredients over a glass of ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and salt (or sugar) if you'd like. Makes one serving.
PEACE! XOXO-WooWoo

Less Than Expected
Stacey from Fairview Heights, IL– Verified Buyer
It looked so nice in the photo, but when it arrived, it was way less than I'd hoped. The material is so thin, I could see through...yes, THROUGH...the comforter. The portion of the comforter that appears to be a separate piece of leopard print material, is actually white thread that has been very sparingly embroidered on the black fabric.
Love the quality
TARI from RAINIER, OR– Verified Buyer
This was a present for my 18 year old who is very picky about her room..When she came in and saw this set on her bed, she was ecstatic! Love the extra pillows and the quality is superb!

Shawn Lee & Clutchy Hopkins: Clutch Of The TigerVinyl LP Record [2LP]
Sold Out
Date Sold Out:
Thursday, August 02, 2012
(Get e-mailed if/ when back in stock)
Product Details
Producers: Clutchy Hopkins; Shawn Lee
SummaryThis release sounds like a collection of film-noir tracks run through the Clutchy Hopkins and Shawn Lee magical music machine. It's dusty and mysterious junkyard jazz that's powered by sly beats and otherworldly funk. Famous comic book creator Jim Mahood (Spiderman/Marvel, Clerks, Grrl Scouts, Stupid Comics, etc.) liked the tunes so much he provided the artwork for the package. Album contains a hidden code offering customers a deal on limited edition prints of Mahood's artwork, available exclusively from the Ubiquity website.
But how did this record come to be? Does Shawn Lee know the identity of the mysterious Mr Hopkins? Read on brothers and sisters...
A few years back our man Shawn Lee flew from London to Phoenix, AZ, to visit his Mom for Christmas. While out there, the opportunity arose for a last minute recording session in Los Angeles. Renting a car he decided to make the drive by way of the Mojave Desert. Passing though the Desert he was low on gas, and so pulled over to fill up. He could not resist dropping into the thrift store next door. "I love second hand and vintage stuff, I had to go in see if I could find some cool clothes, or a little funky instrument," he explains.
After a quick scour of the merchandise Lee headed back out towards the door only to be met by a bushy-haired man carrying a tiger mask. They exchanged greetings, shared stories about vintage instruments, and then Lee asked about the mask. "He said it was a gift, from a group of gypsies who make costumes for performing art centers in the Los Angeles area." The man said he'd made the gypsies some instruments and that they gave him the mask in return. Lee immediately fell in love with the mask. This became obvious to the man who gave it to Lee with two requests. Lee was to keep the mask forever, and to wear it every full moon. He agreed and headed out West to Los Angeles.
Back in London, at the onset of the first full moon, Lee donned the mask and felt a lump pushing into the side of his head. He pulled back a cloth on the inside of the mask and found a cassette marked "C. H." on Side A, and "Full Moon Breaks, Vol. 1" on the other. Excitedly Lee put the cassette into a tape deck and pressed play. "I put the mask back on and, I'm not really a dancer or anything, but my feet were all over the place, this seriously moved me...the music was dope." Fast forward year or so and Lee hears about Ubiquity releasing music from a mysterious, but talented, artist out of the Mojave Desert called Clutchy Hopkins. Putting "C.H." and "Clutchy Hopkins" together he pulled out the cassette and knocked out a few ideas inspired by what he heard.
The ideas were delivered to the Misled Children, the somewhat secretive agents of Mr. Hopkins that had befriended Ubiquity (coincidentally by way of a chance purchase at a thrift store.) Twoweeks later a purple CD-r was mailed to Lee's house back in London and it included the tracks he started, with new music added to them, and also some other ideas meant for Shawn to play with. There was also a message, written into a crazy, complicated equation which Lee decoded with some help from a mathematical scholar. It was a request from Clutchy Hopkins to send more music. This exchange of ideas, by way of the mail and the Misled Children, went on for 3 months. Then everything went quiet. We could not find the Misled Children, no more packages arrived, and no more messages were received.
A month or so later Lee picked up the mask to honor his full moon request, and once again was surprised by something inside. Sitting quietly, as if it had been thinking of using the mask as a new home, was a messenger bird with a small scroll tied to one foot. Written on the scroll were directions to the house of a Mr Peddlesmith near Hebden Bridge, England. Shawn drove up to Yorkshire to see Mr Peddlesmith, who uttered only "I've been waiting for you," and then handed over a package which included a handmade cedar flute and a cd.
You're now holding in your hands the recording found on that CD. It's the result of long distance collaboration between two talented musicians. They met only briefly, but instantly saw eye to eye by way of a mask and a full moon. Behold, the Clutch of The Tiger.

When it comes to Fall it is ALL about cozy, comfy and keeping warm! Same goes for the cocktails served once Autumn's chill sets in. Spice heavy and soul warming, the drinks this time of year may just be our favorite!
We recently spied and cannot wait to toast to the changing leaves with this Chamomile Hot Toddy from Honestly Yum! If you have't had a Hot Toddy before, you are missing out big time! Made with hot tea, lemon, sweet honey, and a kick via a splash of whiskey- this recipe is simple, but really hits the spot during sweater season. It's the one drink that's even touted as ok while nursing a cold!

Will money please Mills?
Heather Mills railed against her ex-husband, former Beatle Paul McCartney, even after receiving nearly $50 million in their divorce case, said the blog Hollywood Grind, so it's clear she would "fancy herself a victim" no matter what. To be fair,
What happened
London's High Court this week ordered former Beatle Paul McCartney to pay £24.3 million ($48.7 million) to ex-wife Heather Mills in their divorce settlement. The sum includes £14 million for herself, £2.5 million to purchase a home in London, and £7.8 million in existing assets. On top of that, McCartney will pay £35,000 per year in nanny and school fees for their 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice. Outside the courthouse, Mills, who had sought £125 million, said that she was "very, very happy" with the ruling. "It was an incredible result to secure mine and my daughter's future," she said. (BBC)
What the commentators said
Even after receiving nearly £25 million, Heather railed against her ex-husband and his lawyer Fiona Shackleton, proving that "Heather will always fancy herself a victim," said the blog Hollywood Grind. Well, she always said that if she won a lot of money, she would donate it all to charity, so let's see if she puts her money where her mouth is. "But she won't because she's a fake."
To be fair, "the divorce has been equally acrimonious on each side," said Stuart Heritage on the blog Hecklerspray. Heather Mills may hurl accusations and harangues at Sir Paul, but McCartney allegedly had an affair with a rich married American woman—surely, in a messy divorce, it takes two people to create the mess.
Even if both parties played parts in the quarrel, people "can't stand" Heather Mills because of her righteous greed, said the blog Your Celebrity Stuff. Of the £35,000 annual allowance for Beatrice's care, Mills said: "Beatrice only gets $70,000 a year so she is obviously meant to travel B class while her father travels A class. But obviously I will pay for that." Actually, McCartney will pay for that, since "everything she 'pays' for is McCartney's money anyway!"

Girl Beside Him by Cris Mazza
The dialogue is fast-paced, the narrative engages the reader, and Mazza rarely dwells on minute details. She also gives the reader a chance to feel superior to her characters by creating a group that is as emotionally evolved as a concrete chicken.

Bondage is represented in many images, but as an adornment and an enhancement rather than as a means of subjection and degradation. Kenneth Tynan, the English theatre critic, and a lifelong devotee of bondage and sado-masochism, remarked that pain is not, as Freud assumed, the masochist's source of pleasure: it is the unpleasant but necessary side effect of fully embodying a masochistic fantasy.

Fixer Chao by Han Ong
Feng Shui is the so-called ancient Chinese art of arranging one's environment to promote peace and prosperity. Its popularity among the well-to-do in this country speaks volumes about how certain kinds of knowledge, including quasi-knowledge, are appropriated and consumed by different social classes. This is what makes 'Fixer Chao' so timely and worthwhile.

FM: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio by Richard Neer- PopMatters Book Review
The 'anything goes' attitude held by the DJs led to a variety of music being heard on stations in the early '70s that is unheard of today; what with 20 song playlists, marketing pushes from huge recording conglomerates on a small cadre of 'artists', and music produced by machines instead of instruments of wood and steel.

Cameron misses the point
For the past four years I have been working as a university college principal close to the Pakistan-Afghan border, and I can understand how galling David Cameron's naive and insensitive remarks about terrorism must be to Pakistan.
From about 1980 onwards the West, the Pakistan military and the ISI created the Taliban to fight the Russians. We and they together set up the training camps where British citizens have learned violence more recently.
When the Russians left, there was a political vacuum; some jihadis moved into local administration and police, while others opted for extremism and violence. Parallels might be drawn with Irish nationalists after they had fought off British rule. There is no clear distinction between Taliban extremists and civilians, and I have personally encountered peaceful individuals who have turned to violence on seeing their loved ones killed inside Pakistan's tribal areas by invading US drones.
Why didn't David Cameron condemn this violation of every international agreement instead of bleating naive and simplistic platitudes?
Dr David Gosling, Cambridge
Cursed with an over-mighty army
It is hardly surprising that "Pakistan still lacks the infrastructure and the competent institutions to cope with the current disaster" ("A humanitarian disaster at home, a diplomatic crisis abroad", 3 August). A large chunk of foreign aid to Pakistan is consumed by its army, which is more interested in violating sovereignty in Afghanistan and Kashmir than restricting itself to a defensive role, leaving only a pittance for other developments.
Pakistan's main curse, ever since its inception in 1947, has been its army. Its generals are over-paid; they enjoy special privileges to landholding, foreign currency quotas and foreign travel. No other army in the world enjoys such privileges, including the power to run a country's foreign policy, as the Pakistani army has been doing vis-a-vis Afghanistan and Kashmir.
Pakistan is facing a natural disaster of monumental proportions, but its coffer is virtually empty. It desperately needs our help. But somebody ought to tell the visiting Pakistani President that charity begins at home; and that instead of enjoying the comfort and luxury of Chequers, he should have been visiting the flood-stricken areas of the Swat valley.
Randhir Singh Bains, Gants Hill, Essex
The real reasons for terrorism
So the Americans are going home. Do they feel they have completed their task in Iraq? In July 535 Iraqis were killed, 396 civilians, 89 policemen and 50 soldiers, and 1,043 people injured.
Let's hear less about Pakistan "encouraging" terrorism and more about how the US and UK attacked and occupied two countries and having failed disastrously, are returning home. And give a thought for desperate refugees like Osman Mohammed who died here rather than be sent home.
Janet Salmon, Richmond, Surrey
Minorities must amuse
If one has had the pleasure to read Christina Patterson's two recent articles "The limits of multi-culturalism" and "We need to talk about integration" we would learn that she is apparently not islamophic nor is she anti-semitic.
This is despite the statement, "A properly civilised society would accept that while lovely little C of E schools were once an excellent place for children to learn about the religion that shaped their culture, art and laws, you can't have them without having the madrassa run by the mad mullah next door", and despite comparison of the impoliteness of individual members of the hasidic community to the experience of black civil rights leaders among the Ku Klux Klan.
However what makes me sad in all of this is the statement: "If the Hasids are sometimes a bit irritating, and the soy-latte-sipping, farmers'-market-frequenting chatterati (of which, no doubt, I'm one) so sanctimonious that it makes you want to slap them, the Africans, Pakistanis, Caribbeans and Kurds make up for it." For it seems that the function, and acceptability, of minority groups, is determined, for Ms Patterson, by how much they amuse her.
In my opinion the evidence from these two articles can lead to no other conclusion than that Ms Patterson is anti-semitic and islamophobic. I cannot see any other way to read her broad sweeping attack on large sections of these communities that she justifies by reference to the obscene practice of female circumcision, a practice which is found in the tiniest minority of Muslim households and is in no way limited to the Muslim community.
Ed Zinkin, London SW1
As a self-declared modern orthodox Jew, transported from north-west London to a leafy suburb of Tel Aviv, I had some empathy with the feelings of alienation Christina Patterson experienced living in Stamford Hill. Nevertheless, I imagine that the "monosyllabic terseness" she experienced in Stamford Hill is not so different from the kind that would greet an English person in parts of Paris or even Glasgow.
My main point of contention arises from the words she used in one instance: "When I see an eight-year-old boy recoiling from a normal-looking woman (because, presumably, he has been taught that she is dirty or dangerous, or, heaven forbid, dripping with menstrual blood) it makes me sad."
"Presumably"? Where does such presumption come from? Has she ever witnessed an eight-year-old Jewish boy being told that "normal-looking" women are dirty or dangerous? I am 41 years old. I have been a practising Jew all my life and I have never heard of such an atrocity. Her leap from non-fact to "presumption" seems unwarranted.
Nor can I imagine any sane person teaching an eight-year-old that a "normal-looking" woman would be "dripping with menstrual blood". I have no idea where she dreamed up this peculiar response to seeing an eight-year-old recoiling from a woman (which doesn't strike me as the most unusual thing an eight-year-old has ever done), but it kind of makes me sad.
If the presumption that eight-year-old boys are routinely taught that women are dirty, dangerous and dripping with menstrual blood is something that only applies to orthodox Jews then I am seriously concerned that her irrationality arises from an unexamined prejudice against orthodox Jews.
Daniel Sevitt, Ra'anana, Israel
Having read Christina Patterson's article of 28 July, I feel deep disquiet at the polemicism and stereotyping that permeate it. Yes, I do know Stamford Hill, and no, I am not a Hasidic Jew, and yes, I do accept that, as with all communities, it contains individuals who do not or cannot interact with those around them who come from outside their group.
However did it not occur to her that her stigmatisation of entire cultural niches, based on the activities of the few, goes well beyond bad manners, and into the world of the beer-fuelled ranting that, no doubt, people who think that they are liberals believe that they have nothing in common with? Well done, Ms Patterson, you have demonstrated the tyranny of liberalism for all to see.
Simon Jackson, Barnet, Hertfordshire
Cuts will hit women hardest
Mary Dejevsky makes some interesting points. ("Let's not fight this gender war", 3 August). Sadly, her core premise – that women aren't really doing too badly – is undermined by the daily lived experiences of women around the UK. Women earn less, own less and are more likely to live in poverty than men.
Dejevsky is right to observe that women rely more heavily on the public sector – both as its employees and because they access services such as the NHS more frequently. Women are also more reliant on the welfare state than men – a greater proportion of women's income is typically made up of welfare payments and tax credits than that of men. This situation is not primarily founded in the choices of individual women, but is driven by the inequalities that persist between the sexes. For example, nine out of 10 lone parents are women and some 300,000 pregnant women are thought to lose their jobs every year.
But while the root causes of women's economic inequality – and thus their greater reliance on state support – is something that must change, it doesn't follow that they deserve to get hit hardest when times are tough.
In choosing to reduce the deficit primarily through cuts to spending and welfare, the Chancellor made a decision that was bound to hurt those in poverty most. In failing to assess the way in which these measures would impact on women's equality, the Government showed a staggering disinterest in where the axe would fall. We believe the Government failed in its legal duties and left itself open to legal challenge.
While the coalition has done what it can to portray this Budget as reaching into all our pockets, pushing hard the idea that "we're all in this together", the reality is that some will be worse affected than others, and it is women who will bear the brunt. Fawcett don't relish taking this step, but faced with such blatant disregard for both equality law and the lives of millions of women, we could no longer stand by.
Anna Bird, Head of Policy and Campaigns, The Fawcett Society, London, EC1
Thanks for Mary Dejevsky's article about the Fawcett Society's legal challenge on "sexist" public sector cuts. This is a classic example of equalities campaigners only concerning themselves with one side of the equality equation.
Our experience in Brighton and Hove is that while the public sector has put a welcome focus on making sure its workforce reflects the diversity of the communities it serves, it has stopped way short of applying this principle to men. As a result, not only is the workforce still predominantly female, but so too are the people who benefit from services (with council figures showing that women are 50 per cent more likely to benefit from the local services it funds).
It would be great to hear the Fawcett Society – in its stated quest to campaign for equality for men and women – campaigning for men to be equally represented in the public-sector workforce, for men's projects to receive equal funding and for services to benefit men and women equally.
But this will never happen while equality campaigners keep looking at inequality from just one side of the equation.
Glen Poole, Chair, The Men's Network, Brighton and Hove
A friendly wave for drivers
Anna Oxbury (letter, 3 August) is, of course, right. Pedestrians do have the right of way at marked crossings. She is perfectly free to stride out staring stonily ahead.
But your original correspondent Julien Evans no doubt feels that this is one of many occasions in the day when it just feels courteous and right to say thank you to someone (a waiter, a ticket collector, a receptionist, a lollipop lady) who, when you think about it, has no option but to help you. We do it all the time. It adds a touch of humanity to an otherwise impersonal transaction – and, of course, it costs nothing.
It's also true that the inscription "But I had right of way" would be an appropriate addition to many tombstones.
Gerald Haigh, Bedworth, Warwickshire
I have read the correspondence about etiquette at zebra crossings. A quick recheck of my Highway Code shows within rule 19: "Traffic does not have to stop until someone has moved on to the crossing." So it should be only polite to thank someone who has stopped voluntarily to enable you to pass. Additionally, it is common for drivers to acknowledge other drivers who have extended the same courtesy.
Alan Careless, Torquay, Devon
The Spanish way of death
It was good to read Robert Elms's article on the Spanish corrida (31 July). Normally newspapers only refer to the bulls when using photographs of a matador being gored or thrown, and then only to fill space through the quiet season.
While the British buy plastic-wrapped cuts of meat and curse the barbarity of "bullfighting", the Spanish also deal with death through flamenco and art. Hopefully Robert's article might start a debate about differing responses to and expressions of death and encourage a deeper look at the reasons for the Catalans banning the fiesta nacional.
Ray Leary, Ilford, Essex
Sorry to be both boring and beastly in one sentence, but Steve Edwards' wording "vicarious bloodlust of people who would never dare face the horns themselves" (letter, 3 August) applies, mutatis mutandis, to any spectator sport whatsoever.
Tom Aitken, Richmond, Surrey
Doctors' duty to speak up
Gagging orders in the NHS are an issue that is worrying Jonathan Punt (letter, 4 August).
I want to make clear that any doctor who reports genuine concerns will have nothing to fear from the General Medical Council. In our core guidance, Good Medical Practice, we say that doctors have a responsibility to flag up issues about inadequate resources, a colleague's conduct, performance, or health. We also say that if doctors have good reason, raising a concern is justified even if it turns out to be groundless.
We are currently reviewing our Management for Doctors guidance, which states that doctors in a management role must make sure that adequate systems are in place for complaints to be thoroughly investigated and that those who raise concerns are protected from unwarranted criticism or actions.
Niall Dickson, Chief Executive, General Medical Council, London NW1
Drama at the supermarket
As a mere mortal, I feel unable to challenge polymath Jonathan Miller's assertion that Marks and Spencer is more interesting than the West End theatre ("I haven't seen a West End show in 10 years, says Jonathan Miller", 3 August). What could be more dramatic than a crucible of marinated olives, more poetic than a pound of fruit from the cherry orchard, or more operatic than a pizza verde – as you like it?
Stan Labovitch, Freigericht Neuses, Germany
It was sad to hear that Jonathan Miller does not get asked to do anything in the theatre any more. However, now that he is known as an anti-celebrity celebrity the job offers are sure to come flooding in.
Ivor Morgan, Lincoln
Outdated theories
Ian Nicholson writes that "teaching six-day creationism may be bad science and education" (Letters, 31 July), yet adds in the same sentence that "theories of creation are a valid and reasonable belief, held with justification by many respected scientists". Which respected scientists?
He feels that secularism is trying to "control the educational agenda", and calls instead for a "pluralist not a secular" approach, in which children are encouraged to "examine different beliefs [and] ... a range of options". Yet pluralism and free inquiry are at the very heart of a secular and humanist approach.
But pluralism surely does not mean that all beliefs have to be treated with equal respect. Creationism has no more right to a place on the curriculum than alchemy, astrology, or perhaps the stork theory of reproduction. In the words of Carl Sagan, "Our minds should be open, but not so open that our brains fall out".
David Simmonds, Epping, Essex
Abuse censored
Jon Venables has been sentenced to two years for child pornography offences (report, 24 July). He will be on the sex offender register for 10 years and barred from working with children for life. He is also subject to a sexual offences prevention order for five years. This bans him from owning or using a computer that does not have specialist software installed, blocking images of child abuse. Why aren't all computers sold with that software installed?
Anne van Staveren, Feltham, Middlesex
Cut-price bomb
If the Government wishes to save money while retaining a nuclear deterrent, should it not be investigating the possibility of buying our nuclear weapons from India or Pakistan rather than the USA?
