Big Al's View Of The World
They say getting old is not easy. Actually they say it is a "female dog" if you know what I mean. About the same time you will be getting this months paper I'll be turning 46. On the calendar it only shows to be one year later than when I turned 45 last November but man it sure seems like more. In the past year I know I've personally paid the little cashier girls salary at CVS with my weekly purchases of Aleve and Advil. I feel like I'm living in the middle of a spring field 24 hours a day. Throw in my Benadryl and she's got a 401k. It seems the only thing I've yet to put on my list is Preparation H. According to the commercials on tv I'm behind on that so I have that to look forward to I guess.
When I was younger I could spot a fly on top of the water tower in town with my 20/20 vision. Nowadays I don't have any problem seeing him on the water tower but if he lands on my hand I couldn't tell you if it was a piece of dirt or a tatoo. Thank goodness they have these little cheater glasses that are fairly cheap. For just $20 you can go from not being able to read your name on your drivers license to now having 20/20 vision like an 18 year old. My wife and I have never had the least bit of problems with our sight. We both have always had perfect vision. That was until this past year or two. Now we both have several pairs of "cheaters" laying around the house. A pair in each bathroom. A pair by the bed. A pair on each desk. Probably one in the truck and several more that we find when we least expect it. All of this brings me to my next story.
Even though I have grown up in Texas my entire life and I am proudly a son of the Lone Star State I never spent any time in Austin. Last year my wife finally found her old hair stylist from many years ago. After following her to downtown Houston we now have made the treck to Austin twice now. Although Austin is only two hours from the house, we being two people that don't need much of a reason to make a road trip, we make it an overnighter. Although the bumper sticker says "keep Austin wierd", there is little doubt of that ever being a problem!!!! Both times we have gone to Austin we take a little trip down 6th Street for a little people watching.
Remember, we are the same couple that have gotten lunch to go and then sat in the Wal-Mart parking lot and people watched as we ate our lunch. 6th Street offers some of the best people watching on the face of the Earth. This particular night we went to our favorite spot and had drinks and a meal. The whole time we are sitting there we are listening to the two couples at the next table. They are in their mid 20's. Probably just out of the grand school just a few blocks away. For lack of a better word they were "yuppies." I loath yuppies just about as much as Phil Robertson. I promise you yuppies will be the downfall of all mankind. These two couples were yuppies to infinity and beyond.
As we sat there listening to them we talked about the problems with todays kids and how these people knew nothing of our world. I made the statement that the two cute little ladies would never know what they were missing by not going out with a calf roper. My wife agreed!!!! We both agreed the two young men probably had never had dirt on their hands or feet for that matter. When the girls wear denim drink beer and the guys wear khaki and drink frozen margaritas there is a problem.
At this point we had the problems figured out in the world and we were wise beyond our years. That was until it was time to leave and we had to ask the waitress back to the table to read our tab for us. Neither of us had remembered our glasses. These two wise beyond their years, people of the dirt, go getters, don't hire it-do it yourselfers were dead in the water. We tried to look cool to the table of kids next to us but we got the hell outa Dodge if you know what I'm talking about. We got a good laugh out of it all the way back down the street to our hotel.
A night on the town is not for old folks! I'll leave the partying to the kids. For one night in September we both felt like kids. I forgot to tell you we couldn't read the menu when we sat down either. It was a Mexian place so we just ordered fajitas. When in Rome . . . . Do as the Romans!!!!

Truther. Pothead. Creep. Nihilist. Psycho.
For those still catching up on all the horrific Tucson massacre weekend news, here's a quick, link-filled summation of mentally unstable suspect Jared Loughner's life and times, according to friends, family, classmates, teachers, and law enforcement:
Apparent grievance-monger against the US military.
He seems to have more in common with Jane Fonda than with Sarah Palin, doesn't he?
There has been zero indication that Loughner directly or explicitly complained about immigration; instead, he ranted about illiteracy in general and inveighed against grammar control. But this, of course, didn't stop pro-illegal alien amnesty sheriff Clarence Dupnik from shoehorning SB1070 and its aftermath into his press conference about the Tucson massacre.
And as the latest reports reveal, Loughner stalked Giffords since 2007 — well before Palin became a household name and the modern Tea Party was born.
According to a close friend, Loughner's motive was:
"More chaos, maybe," he says. "I think the reason he did it was mainly to just promote chaos. He wanted the media to freak out about this whole thing. He wanted exactly what's happening. He wants all of that." Tierney thinks that Loughner's mindset was like the Joker in the most recent Batman movie: "He fucks things up to fuck shit up, there's no rhyme or reason, he wants to watch the world burn. He probably wanted to take everyone out of their monotonous lives: 'Another Saturday, going to go get groceries'—to take people out of these norms that he thought society had trapped us in."
Only in the calculating minds of Tucson massacre ghouls at the NYTimes, MSNBC & Democrat leadership do these things add up to "Tea Party-inspired, immigrant-hating, GOP-fueled right wing terrorist."

As rumors begin to swirl about a new studio album from Michael Jackson in May of '08, a similar hit maker has done a cover of one of MJ's classic records. For a special "25th Anniversary Edition" of the epic album, Thriller, Akon has taken the dance floor sensation, Wanna Be Starting Something, and added his own modern-day touch. As one of four renewed songs on the commemorative project the production work can be fully credited to Kon, who did his part to keep the song as Michael-esque as can be.

I have several nested layouts (VLayouts and HLayouts), which are included inside a tab pane. In one of these layouts (VLayout), there is severall elements which are added or removed dynamically depending on a window of selection. The first time the user makes a selection, the pane moves up several pixels (and you will not see the upper part of the pane). The rest of times, the pain remains in the wrong place.
In summary, the first adding affects to the top of the pane, and the rest of adding/removing doesn't affect to it.
This only happens on Chrome. However, Firefox and IE work ok.
My code of adding is:
int total = itemsPanel.getMembers().length - 1;
while (total >=0) {
Record[] records = selectorWindow.getSelectedRows();
if (records != null) {
for (Record record : records) {
String name = record.getAttribute("keyRecord");
HLayout item = items.get(name);
if (itemsPanel != null) {
int r = 80;
if (Utils.isReducedHeight()) {
r = 120;
int visibleHeight = getVisibleHeight() - StyleUtils.HEADER_HEIGHT - r;
itemsPanel.setHeight(Math.max(1, Math.min(itemsPanel.getMembers().length * Utils.getRowHeight(), visibleHeight)));
int h = Math.min(itemsPanel.getHeight() + 10, visibleHeight);
I'm using gwt 2.5.1 and smartgwt 3.0. Any idea?
Thanks in advance

It is winter. Inside a theatre an audience is watching King Lear. A famous Hollywood actor slumps to the stage and dies. It is the final night before the world changes forever.
Station Eleven is the stunning fourth novel by the accomplished Emily St. John Mandel. Set in a post-pandemic world, the book follows the lives of six characters: the actor who dies on stage, the man who tries to save him, the actor's first and second wives, as well as his best friend, and finally, a young child actor.
The narrative explores multiple points of view and moves back and forth in time which allows for in depth character development. The plot is multilayered and convincing. Mandel's descriptions of the post-apoplyctic world ring true – devastating, and yet still infused with beauty.
Thematically, the novel examines the idea of connectiveness between individuals, the importance of art and literature in one's life, faith, and the appreciation of the things we take for granted.
I have read all of Mandel's novels – and Station Eleven is my favorite: perceptive, skillfully plotted, provocative, warm-hearted, and lyrical. Decidedly literary in style, but with the page turning quality of a suspense-thriller, Station Eleven is a gem of a novel. One of the best I've read this year.
Highly recommended.
FTC Disclosure: I received this book from the publisher.]]>
Camille Preaker has had a less than ideal childhood. She has spent time in a psychiatric hospital and is currently working as a reporter when she is asked to return to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. She temporarily moves back into her mother's home and must revisit the memories of her childhood. As clues to the two murders are uncovered, Camille begins to realize that the murderer may be closer to her than anyone thought.
Gillian Flynn's first novel is a dark, psychological study of a damaged family. Camille's mother is a hypochondriac, and a bizarre woman who clearly has mental issues. Amma, Camille's much younger half sister, is about the same age as the murder victims but her behavior is decidedly more mature…and not in a good way. Camille herself suffers from a dark past which is reflected in the obsessive cutting she has done to her own body over the years.
The novel is a compelling read which takes the reader to a very dark and bleak place. I thought I had figured out the plot, but Flynn throws in a twist at the end I didn't see coming.
Readers who enjoy psychological thrillers will find much to enjoy in Sharp Objects. This is a well written first novel that is a good introduction to this author's work. I've read Gone Girl which was a terrific, suspenseful novel…and Sharp Objects is not quite as accomplished, although it is still worth the read.

We'd love to have you join us. If you're not already a member at Threadbias, why not join – it's free, and it is a great community of sewists.
We chose A Bunch of Crosses (Easy) and Violet Cathedral (Challenging) as the pillows for October. Additionally, participants were encouraged to challenge themselves by re-working the Love Notes pillow – creating their own heartfelt message to a friend, family member or someone special. These pillows were entered in a contest and voted on by members of the group.
Here are the wonderful finishes with links back to each sewist's project page. I hope you will click through to see the entire projects as the backs and quilting on each pillow are also fabulous.
Cathie raided her scrap bin and created a wonderful pillow in hues of gray, pink and red.
Erica chose soft turquoise and some low volume prints for a gorgeous interpretation.
My pillow was inspired by Halloween and used a mini charm pack of the Comma collection by Zen Chic.
Capetown Girl's pillow celebrates text prints and pops of red – don't you just love those homemade tassels?
Sue's pillow is a cheerful, fun pillow that uses fabrics from Lori Holt.
Gardencrafter chose some sweet solids and coordinated them with Kaffe Fassett prints to create a stunning pillow.
Margaret chose a festive blue and gray palette that reminds us winter is on its way!
Sue's cheerful pillow borrowed inspiration from a well-known Beatles song
Cathie got a little help from her grandchildren to send a sentimental message to her husband.
Carol honored her mother (and best friend)
Gardencrafter's fun pillow reminds us that those we love do not have to be human!
Sippe suggests we "give peace a chance" with her 70's inspired pillow.
My pillow reminds my sister, that although distance separates us, she is always in my heart.
All the Love Note pillows are winners in my view…but the one that garnered the most votes in the contest was:
The chicken pillow by Gardencrafter!!!!
…and the back is just as wonderful as the front:

Recently I signed up to take Sarah Fielke's Big Techniques from Small Scraps class on Craftsy. I love Sarah Fielke's sense of color and design…and something about learning to needle turn applique just appealed to me right now.
Life goes past in a blur. There are weeks I can hardly remember where the hours went, especially now that the days are growing shorter. Sometimes it is just nice to slow things down.
I had fun pulling fabrics for this small project and I really enjoyed the hand work of applique. I also, for the first time, tried a little hand quilting (which I didn't enjoy quite so much, but was glad I tried it).
I used a pretty piece of fabric for the back – something that popped with a burst of red.
This piece is far from perfect, but I finished it up with a sense of satisfaction. I've decided I need to do more of this kind of slow sewing. And so I made myself a little drawstring bag from this tutorial, so I have a place to carry my hand applique with threads, thimble, and scissors. Seems like the perfect thing right now…
Reverend Stephen Drew watches over his flock in the small Vermont town of Haverill…or does he? When one of his parishioners (Alice Hayward) is strangled by her abusive husband, who then turns a gun on himself (leaving their fifteen year old daughter Katie an orphan), Stephen seems to be wrestling with his faith. But when later the coroner's office rules George Hayward's death a homicide, Stephen's moral character rather than his faith is called into question. Stephen's life is further complicated by the arrival of Heather Laurent, an author whose obsession with angels feels a little bit out of whack. And Catherine Benincasa, the deputy's state attorney, is left to sort out all the characters in this small town and unravel what exactly happened on the day Alice and George Hayward died.
Chris Bohjalian's novel, Secrets of Eden, is narrated in the four distinct voices of Stephen, Heather, Catherine, and Katie. This technique allows the reader to see events from very different perspectives and allows for some twists and turns along the way.
It becomes clear early on that the pastor is an unreliable narrator with plenty of secrets. He was one of my least favorite characters in the book. Heather, his romantic interest, is the character who connects all the other characters in the book but I felt she didn't really move the plot forward…and her connection with angels, although interesting, seemed a bit extraneous. I really enjoyed the section narrated by Catherine who is a tough and smart woman with an unrelenting quest to find the truth. And finally there is Katie, a seemingly typical teen who has suffered through a childhood of violence and uncertainty and finally left parent-less.
None of the characters are exactly as they seem, most harbor secrets or dark pasts.
Thematically, Bohjalian explores the aftermath of domestic violence, betrayal, and the consequences of secrets. Although I figured out the ending about half way through the book, that did not take away my enjoyment of the story.
Bohjalian is a talented storyteller who knows how to reel in a reader. Secrets of Eden will appeal to readers who enjoy heavily plotted books told from multiple viewpoints. I liken Bohjalian's narrative style to Jodi Picoult who also writes "ripped from the headlines" novels with multiple narrators.
I am thankful for the strong friendships I've forged this year with women who have found joy in piecing together bits of fabric and making beautiful quilts, table runners, and pillows. I am always thankful for the love of my family and the steady presence of my husband and comfort of my fur babies.
The other day I received a little package from Sweetwater with my subscription for their label crew and it seemed like the perfect thing to sew on a cold, rainy day.
I used a small mini charm pack of Basic Grey's Persimmon collection (and some other scraps from my scrap bin) which combines soft oranges and golds with a touch of taupe and deep blue for a decidedly autumn feel. A natural linen fabric gives this 16″ square pillow a little texture.
The quilting is simple, using some orange thread to add a little fun.
The back is pieced with some of Basic Grey's PB&J collection and sports a hidden zipper.
As I put the finishing touches on my pillow, I remembered to be thankful for the simple things – a warm, dry home…good health…the comfort of a fire in the wood stove…the cry of a redtail hawk…rain after months of drought. As we approach the season of Thanksgiving, I am determined to spend a little time each day to appreciate the things I normally take for granted.
What about you? What are YOU thankful for this month?]]>
I belong to two sewing bee groups – one on Flickr (which sews quilts for charity) and a private group on Threadbias. Each month I make a total of three blocks for these groups . I thought it would be fun to share some of these with you!
Marsha (Quilterinmotion) requested an Interrupted Star block with colors which would match her Snails Tails blocks…and she also asked for a tone on tone ecru for background.
Terry (Terryt1955) requested a red and white "donut" block. She is going to have an amazing red and white quilt.
Conni (Conniharns) asked for a scrappy star…this was fun to do! I raided my scrap bins and found some vibrant fabrics in reds, pinks, blues, and oranges.
Erica (Skynme) wanted a really cool block with Northern Lights colors in the center and black for the points with a low volume, antique like fabric for the background. I made two blocks – one with turquoise/teal (a Kokopelli patterned fabric that felt native American to me), and one with hot pinks (I liked the swirly nature of the pattern as it reminded me of Northern Lights swirling). The background fabric is from Tom Holt's Eclectic Elements collection and the black tone on tone is Dit Dot by Jason Yenter for In the Beginning Fabrics.
For November, Cathie (Quilt455) requested the New England block using muted/soft colors for the corner blocks and a saturated green with olive tones for the center cross. I had fun combing through my scraps to find fabrics for this block.
Wendi requested paper pieced stars (go here to get the pattern by Faith at Fresh Lemons). This quilt will be for a boy, so Wendi asked us to choose from the following color combinations for our star points: blue/red, blue/aqua, blue/orange or blue/green. She's changed the background to a low volume (I used a chicken wire print of light gray and white) and asked that we also use Kona medium gray. I picked the blue/aqua and blue/orange color palettes for my two blocks. They came together quickly.
For this month, Amber wanted a plus block using low volume fabrics for a scrappy background. I've been looking at these quilts on line and was so excited to try out a couple of blocks.
Have you ever sewn blocks for a bee group?]]>
Fourteen year old Trevor Riddell knows next to nothing about his father's side of the family…but when Trevor's mother and father lose the family home and go their separate ways, Trevor travels with his father, Jones Riddell, to the Pacific Northwest and lands at Riddell House – a massive mansion made from whole trees and perched on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound. Jones reunites with his sister Serena, an oddly sexual woman who harbors some deep and disturbing secrets. Together, the two siblings hatch a plan to force the elderly Grandpa Samuel (their father and Trevor's grandfather) to sign over his rights so they can sell off the house and property to land developers. Trevor is pulled into the scheme, while at the same time he begins to explore the mansion (guided by a ghostly, long dead great-uncle) and uncover the secrets of the past.
Garth Stein is perhaps best known for his novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain (which I loved and reviewed here), and with A Sudden Light he returns to some common themes of spirituality, connection to others, and moving forward through life's challenges. But that is where the similarities end. A Sudden Light is really about family secrets and righting wrongs, about finding what is truly important in life and choosing people over "things" and money.
The book is retrospectively narrated by the adult Trevor who is looking back on the summer of his fourteenth year. Through Trevor's eyes the reader begins to uncover the dysfunctional lives of the Riddell family. The characters are decidedly quirky and not always wholly likable (Serena is just downright creepy). I fell in love with Grandpa Samuel who is deeply flawed, but completely believable.
Stein's writing is captivating and beautifully penned. The novel is not without its weaknesses (readers have to suspend reality to fully connect with the characters), but I found myself slipping into the story and looking forward to picking up the book the more pages I turned.
Garth Stein has written a family saga that fully immerses the reader in the Pacific Northwest's timber industry. Those who enjoy quirky characters and novels which touch the human heart, will want to pick up a copy of A Sudden Light.

Publisher's Description
How are we as Christians called to respond when cancer invades our lives, whether our own bodies or those of our friends and family?
On the eve of his own cancer surgery, John Piper writes about cancer as an opportunity to glorify God. With pastoral sensitivity, compassion, and strength, Piper gently but firmly acknowledges that we can indeed waste our cancer when we dont see how it is Gods good plan for us and a hope-filled path for making much of Jesus.
Dont Waste Your Cancer is for anyone touched by a life-threatening illness. It first appeared as an appendix in Suffering and the Sovereignty of God. Repackaged and republished, it will serve as a hope-giving resource for healthcare workers, pastors, counselors, and others caring for those with cancer and other serious illnesses. The booklets are also available in packs of ten.

Definitions for kiliwa
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word kiliwa
Princeton's WordNet
Kiliwa, Kiliwi(noun)
a member of a North American Indian people living in northern Baja California
Kiliwa, Kiliwi(noun)
the Yuman language spoken by the Kiliwa
Kiliwa people
The Kiliwa are an aboriginal people of northern Baja California, Mexico. They occupied a territory lying between the Cochimí on the south and the Paipai on the north, and extending from San Felipe on the Gulf of California to San Quintín on the Pacific coast. Their traditional language is the Kiliwa language. The Ñakipa have sometimes been distinguished from the Kiliwa as a separate ethnolinguistic group within the southwestern portion of what is here considered Kiliwa territory. The limited linguistic evidence that is available for the Ñakipa indicates that they spoke the same language as the eastern Kiliwa.

Tensions were high on Saturday in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, with a US grand jury poised to decide whether to prosecute a white police officer for killing an unarmed black teenager. US President Barack Obama has called for calm, Missouri's governor declared a state of emergency and activated the state National Guard, and the FBI has deployed an extra 100 personnel to the area. Police helicopters trained search lights over Ferguson late Friday as a small gaggle of protesters braved the cold to demand that officer Darren Wilson stand trial for shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown dead on August 9.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned of "serious gaps" in talks about a nuclear deal with Iran, but as Monday's deadline approached his German counterpart said Tehran and six world powers have "never been closer" to agreement since they started negotiating more than six years ago.
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Authorities arrested three protesters during a third straight night of unrest in Ferguson as tensions mount amid speculation that a grand jury could decide soon whether to indict the police officer who killed Michael Brown.
BEIRUT (AP) — A prominent Syrian activist group monitoring its civil war says U.S.-led airstrikes in the country have killed over 900 people since September, many fighters of the militant Islamic State group, though some civilians as well.
Obama urged Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform as he used his weekly address Saturday to again defend his unilateral action shielding millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation. "I still believe that the best way to solve this problem is by working together –- both parties –- to pass that kind of bipartisan law," Obama said in his weekly radio and television address, referring to a wide-ranging overhaul that had passed the Senate but was blocked in the House of Representatives. "That bill would have secured our border, while giving undocumented immigrants who already live here a pathway to citizenship if they paid a fine, started paying their taxes, and went to the back of the line," the president said, speaking from the Las Vegas, Nevada high school where he launched his immigration reform efforts two years ago. "But until that happens, there are actions I have the legal authority to take as President -- the same kinds of actions taken by Democratic and Republican Presidents before me -- that will help make our immigration system more fair and more just," he insisted.

Dresden, Germany
I planed to make a dress with this burdastyle pattern for long time. After some inspirations I get from "Anthropologie" I started. I separated the top and the skirt. With big buttons I can put both parts togehter or I can wear one of both, espacially the skirt, as seperates. Underneath I wear two layers of petticoat. I wore this dress at the christmas holydays and felt very comfortable – classy and warm even outside the house.
wool in a dark grey, green cptton with white dots for the lining, metal zppers and big black buttons

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)- The Kansas Republican Party has stepped into a dispute over whether U.S. Senator Pat Roberts is eligible to run for re-election and suggested to a state board that it probably doesn't have the authority to settle the issue.
Three-term incumbent Roberts faces a claim that he's not truly a Kansas resident and should be barred from the state's August 5 republican primary ballot.
State GOP General Counsel Clay Barker sent the party's legal analysis Saturday to state objections board members. The three-member board plans to review the issue Monday.
GOP primary challenger Milton Wolf contends that Roberts truly lives in Virginia. Roberts says the claim is without merit.
The state GOP's analysis noted that the U.S. constitution says each house of congress judges the qualifications of its members.

Surplus food could feed hungry poor
I am currently visiting Hong Kong.
As the founder of Neighbour Day, a community support event in Australia, I am surprised that in such a caring city so much edible fresh food is being wastefully discarded when, with a little co-ordination, it could be transformed into nourishing meals for the homeless and poor ('Supermarkets dumping 29 tonnes of food a day', May 28).
In Australian cities, food rescue services have been set up to collect both fresh ingredients from supermarkets, wholesalers and hotels as well as prepared meals from catering companies, hotels and cafes that are surplus to requirements for that day.
Through networks of commercial kitchens, the fresh food is turned into nutritious, high-quality meals that are either immediately distributed by charities working with the homeless and poor, or frozen for later use.
Previously, as in Hong Kong, all of this food was dumped, but with changes to food handling and safety laws, these initiatives now ensure that people who might otherwise have gone hungry have something to eat.
The cost of dumping edible food is excessive.
Yet, by setting up such a scheme in Hong Kong, the cost of feeding a hungry person would be priceless.
Andrew Heslop, chief executive, Neighbour Day, Sydney, Australia
Supermarket chains can help needy
I refer to the report ('Supermarkets dumping 29 tonnes of food a day', May 28).
Food supply is often a problem in underdeveloped countries in Africa and Latin America, and people there suffer from malnourishment.
But this should not be a problem in Hong Kong, and supermarkets should be thinking carefully about how they dispose of unwanted food.
Supermarkets should not pour water or bleach onto discarded packaged food to ward off scavengers. This is immoral and environmentally unfriendly.
Given that, according to one estimate, 1.26 million Hong Kong people live below the poverty line, it is intolerable that stores should waste food. They should donate all the unsold food to needy people.
Supermarket chains should not be simply money-oriented, and management must not think only of maximising profits.
Store owners must have a sense of humanity and realise that they have a responsibility to help the community.
James Au Kin-pong, Lai Chi Kok
Store staff must check expiry dates
It is clearly important for people to check the expiry date on all food items they purchase.
However, I think it is the primary responsibility of staff in these stores to check expiry dates on food and remove items that are past their sell-by date. This is an issue that should be treated seriously by employers.
Workers who fail to remove this produce and leave it on sale on store shelves should face a warning. This problem can easily be solved if staff know they could face disciplinary proceedings.
Although in some cases, expired food may be OK to eat, this is something that stores must deal with.
Theresa Cheng Man-fei, Tsuen Wan
Monorail at Kai Tak won't make a profit
I think the government's plan for a monorail at Kai Tak is impractical.
It will be an expensive construction project and seems pointless, as the administration will not get its money back with a projected daily passenger usage of only 200,000.
It will not make a profit and therefore is unrealistic.
I am also not convinced that a large number of tourists will be drawn to East Kowloon. There will be some visitors who will be interested in developments there, but not enough to justify the expenditure involved in building this monorail.
It would be far better to opt for a combined transport system of trams and electric buses.
Such a system would be less expensive than the monorail and would also be an environmentally friendly option.
It would be short-sighted to go for the monorail.
Vincent Hui, Sha Tin
Villagers still cling to 'right' long gone
I refer to the report ('Demolition crew back at park', May 23), regarding the removal of illegal structures at Tai Tong Lychee Valley.
I'm all ears on just what is the 'unique historical background' the Heung Yee Kuk talks about that gave rise to the widespread occurrence of land disputes in the New Territories.
Let me guess. Villagers to this day still believe they have the same right as their ancestors had in imperial times to open up adjacent land that was not privately held.
They ask why unused land should be allowed to go to waste.
Although the emperor ultimately owned all land in China, he allowed his subjects to open up unused land and, if it proved profitable, the occupier could apply for the land to be transferred into private ownership upon registration and payment of annual taxes.
You can imagine the excuses given by the descendants. They would say that they were providing a public service, generating jobs for villagers, generating tax revenue and brightening up the place.
The fact is this immense leeway for individual initiative allowed in imperial times is over and has been since 1898 in the New Territories, when the British took out the 99-year lease.
The kuk has never got around to accepting that this particular right has gone permanently.
Perhaps the kuk might make inquiries to see if this right to open up unused state land still exists on the mainland.
The last time I checked, the communist takeover in 1949 resulted in the nationalisation of all land in China.
Danny Chung, Tai Po
Health care in HK has its good side, too
I must say I was very surprised to read the letter from Helen Heron ('Very long wait to see consultant', May 29).
As a counterbalance, I would like to briefly mention my wife's experiences.
In 2009, she suffered a stroke. After really wonderful treatment at both Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Kowloon Hospital, she was discharged and given a range of medicines with follow-up appointments for blood testing every month and one with a consultant four months later.
Now almost three years later, her blood is tested every two months and she gets a consultation with several medicines supplied at government rates.
Prior to her stroke, she was receiving treatment for glaucoma from a private doctor.
While in Kowloon Hospital, she was due for a check-up and medicine renewal.
She was referred to the Hong Kong Eye Hospital and since then has been receiving thorough and regular check-ups and been prescribed medicine at that hospital.
Finally I would like to mention that while my wife was undergoing rehabilitation at Kowloon Hospital, the staff there instructed our helper on how to assist my wife in daily exercises.
As a result, I know that my wife, aged 76, has continued to show extraordinary progress both physically and mentally.
It just goes to show the good side to the medical facilities in Hong Kong.
John Wilson, Yau Ma Tei
How is Shek Kwu Chau fairest pick?
I refer to the report in Health Post ('Burning issue', May 29).
Elvis Au, assistant director of the Environmental Protection Department, says that the Shek Kwu Chau site was chosen for the proposed incinerator after a 'very objective, vigorous, systematic site search process' and 'in an attempt to more fairly distribute unwanted facilities across Hong Kong'.
How come a 'more fair' distribution of 'unwanted facilities' was never a criterion of either of the department's consultations?
It was first mentioned after a meeting with the Heung Yee Kuk concerning the site beyond Tuen Mun.
Following this line of thought would be like proposing a landfill for Hong Kong Island.
This would be ridiculous, just like the department's justification of Shek Kwu Chau.
What Hong Kong first needs is more recycling at source.
Once that's well in place, then let's review all other means of waste disposal.
Patrick Wilson, Pok Fu Lam
