About daddytomI am a 67 yr old male that was forced to retire in Dec 2006. I received my PD diagnosis while getting a second opinion about having back surgery. In July 2007 after much prodding from my bride(30+yrs) and my neurologist I started the Comal County Parkinson's Support Group. Thought I'd get it going then bow out after 3 or 4 months and go hide in a hole somewhere. Nine years later we have grown from 6 to having over 900 folks registered with us(this includes spouses, caregivers and a few adult children). We have gone from meeting once a month to twice a month.
We are averaging 45 attendees at our meeting on the second Saturday of the month and a many as 60 attendees at our meeting on the fourth Saturday of the month.
In 2017 we are planning a gala event to celebrate our tenth anniversary.
Not bad since when we first started people told us we would not last a year.
We try and have a speaker at one of our meetings. We have had a neurologist, a psychiatrist, a physical therapist, a social worker, and a mobility aids company as some of our speakers.
What started as a laborious project has turned into a project of love. I do get frustrated with what appears to be apathy among our members, but then I have to remember that at 60yo I can't do half of what I could at 49 and I am the youngest member. Our average age is probably 74. And everyone of our members is a SWEETHEART and after each meeting everyone makes sure they shake my hand or give me a hug and thank me for what I have done. And you know...I didn't do anything except find someplace to hold a meeting. In 2009 we have had a PD Awareness Picnic in April, participated in a Walk a Thon in San Antonio, had a symposium in New Braunfels in October, We aren't much help raising funds for research, but we sure are good for each other. My bride of 32 yrs is my best friend and biggest fan. She does not baby me and makes me be responsible for managing my own healthcare. She has noticed and commented on my memory loss and she reminds me that I am not the same person I was even 1 year ago. That it is ok for me to slow down occasionaly and take a nap or just sit and read for a couple of hours. It is hard to do since I have been my worse task master for many years. But I am learning.
I had DBS on May 6, 2013 and am a new man. My DBS results have been spectacular. It is like the clock was moved back at least 15 years. I can walk, talk and even write my name. Without a doubt DBS is the best thing I have done.
I would have DBS tomorrow if mine failed today. My DBS may not be a cure and it has it's issues(mainly fatigue), but my life today is so much better than it was pre DBS.

Insider gets the inside scoop on our growth in the US and our work with Apple and Microsoft ergonomists.
To read the full article, click on the source tab below.
Alison, our CEO and inventor, was profiled by The Herald newspaper. Read the full story here.
Here are some of our favourite bits:
"What does [your company] produce?
We design and manufacture ergonomic handholds for iPads, tablets and any other handheld devices. We also produce Safetrays, a more mature product range, which are non-toppling trays for the foodservice industry.
To whom does it sell?
We sell the G-Holds to a real mixture of tablet users. Our biggest customer is the Home Shopping Network in the USA, but we're now on the Scottish Government Framework for schools across Scotland. We also sell to global banks, healthcare services and thousands of other users who need their tablets in everyday life and work. Our celebrity users include Suzi Perry.
What is its turnover?
We have forecast £400,000 this year and we're on track to be ahead of that target.
What could the Westminster and/or Scottish governments do that would help?
I'm meeting with the Deputy First Minister to discuss an idea I have for an import/export project for twelve year olds. We have organisations in California who would like to get involved. Creating a culture of international entrepreneurship is something I believe could and should begin at school.
What was the most valuable lesson that you learned?
I learned to be grateful for what I have when things go wrong, and grateful for what I have when things go right. I also learned that the greatest advantage in business is to be underestimated.
I always get a lot out of meeting business people who have achieved significant success.
I felt honoured to have had the opportunity to meet the dragons when I appeared on the Dragons Den television show recently. You're in the Den for over two hours so there's a lot which has to be cut for the final airing. Many of the comments I felt were best and most useful didn't make it onto the show but the overall result has been a fantastic boost to our online sales and exposure to many people we would not have otherwise reached. I've also been so touched by the many messages of support following the show.
How do you relax?
I love anytime I spend just hanging out with my twin boys and my partner Denny. A good walk up a Munro is also fantastic to clear the mind. And music is the very best of medicines for the soul."
Read the full story on the Herald website here.
We were delighted to be sent this brilliant picture by 13-year-old Josiah Khimasia, who contacted us to say that he uses his iPad for his artistic endeavors and that a G-Hold would really help him. We hope your enjoy your G-Hold, Josiah!

A Scottish entrepreneur who entered the Dragons' Den (Sunday, Sept 4th) has joined the ranks of success stories that got away.
Alison Grieve, from Edinburgh, is a multi award-winning inventor on a mission to change the way the world holds things. On Sunday night she presented the Dragons with her most recent product, the G-Hold: an ergonomic holder that attaches to tablets and other devices, enabling users to comfortably and securely hold their mobile technology.
The Dragons declared themselves 'out', but Alison has watched the sales flood in, bringing in revenue of £150,000 since filming took place, double the amount she had looked to raise in the Den. Her company has scaled up rapidly, moving to larger premises in August and increasing its assembly team, based in Scotland, to produce the 10,000 G-Holds required monthly to meet demand. The growth stems partly from the product's success on the Home Shopping Network (HSN) in the US, but also from large tablet rollouts in education, healthcare and corporate sectors.
"I am very grateful to have experienced the Den and would do it all again," Alison said. "Of course, it's much easier to say that from the context of our recent successes but having been on this journey for seven years, I knew I would take positives away from meeting the Dragons regardless of what happened next."
Alison first started developing patented 'handholding' technology in 2010 for the foodservice industry, launching a range of non-toppling trays, branded Safetray. A former waitress, Alison came up with her first invention after witnessing a spectacular accident involving a tray of champagne glasses toppling over at an important function.
"Our mission has always been to broaden the use of our handholding technology across multiple industries and applications. Once we had proven our concept, we saw a massive opportunity to develop new technology for mobile devices. And with almost a billion tablets having shipped since the launch of the first iPad, we are now reaping the rewards of that decision."
The ergonomic benefits of the G-Hold have been validated by various muscular skeletal experts:
"The last few years have seen a significant rise in the number of kids with neck and back pain, which clinicians increasingly put down to the use of hand-held devices," explains Gavin Routledge, Vice Patron of the British School of Osteopathy. "The G-Hold design ensures that it massively reduces the strain on neck, shoulder, arm and hand; making for pain-free use of tablets."
The G-Hold is already being used across 100 schools in Aberdeenshire, Apple Distinguished Programme CalStateTEACH and most recently tech solution company XMA, feeding into the Scottish Government National Framework for Tablet Devices in Education. The company anticipates G-Holds fast becoming a standard part of the tablet tool kits provided across Scottish schools and further afield.
Aside from its health benefits, the brand has also been growing in 'cool factor' with celebrity users including former Gadget Show presenter Suzi Perry, Grammy award winning Gregory Porter, Scotland's rugby team coaches and physios and sports presenter Lee McKenzie.
Alison is currently in Berlin at the IFA consumer electronics trade fair and intends to capitalise on the rise of augmented reality (AR), with games such as Pokémon Go and 360 degree videos creating greater need for handholding technology.
"My prediction is that AR will soon be a part of everyday tablet usage, particularly in education where traditional text books can come alive, engaging children in learning like never before. The G-Hold supports that experience physically, comfortably placing the whole world in your hand."
The G-Hold is available for sale online and in various retail outlets in the UK, Europe and the US. More information about Alison and the product can be found at www.g-hold.com.

G-Hold inventor Alison Grieve features in an article about G-Hold in today's Herald newspaper. You can read the full article on their website, but here are some highlights:
"A space themed-range of G-Holds is now available to buy at the Glasgow Science Centre and at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, while other versions are on sale in the Scottish Parliament shop and through Amazon.
"This month a version of the hold emblazoned with the Glasgow University logo has been put on sale, in honour of the 50th anniversary of Ms Grieve's knighted grandfather – Sir Robert Grieve – taking up the university's first professorship of town and regional planning.
"'There is still a dissertation prize at the university that bears my grandfather's name,' said Ms Grieve. 'I'm sure he would like to see the Grieve family's connection to the university continue through the generations.'"
The lovely Vislink team tweeted this picture of their bespoke G-Hold in use on their stand at CabSat, the leading platform for the broadcast, production, content delivery, digital media and satellite sectors across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. Head to their booth, ZB1-20, in the Dubai World Trade Center to see HEROCast in action - the smallest and lightest wireless broadcast solution yet.
G-Hold's inventor Alison was interviewed by The Sun newspaper, who have dubbed her "Scotland's answer to Joy," after Joy Mangano, the inventor of the Miracle Mop played on screen by Jennifer Lawrence.
Alison talked really honestly about difficult times with the business and overcoming challenges as an inventor and as a mum, to see G-Hold used by Suzi Perry on Formula 1 and about to be featured on the Home Shopping Network in the USA. You can read the full article on the Sun's website.
G-Hold is at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona all this week, where we've been rubbing shoulders with the best new tech from around the world, and flying the flag at the SDI booth. Tomorrow is the last show of the day, so make sure you come along and say hello - we're in Hall 7 at Stand 7B31.
G-Hold will be joining a host of innovative Scottish companies at this year's Mobile World Congress. Selected as part of the SDI delegation, our own Nicola will be at Stand 7B31 in Hall 7, alongside Skyscanner, The Digital Health Institute and Neatebox. Come along and say hi, and try G-Hold for yourself.
We just had to share this brilliant customer feedback that we just received.
"I just wanted to pass on a little story to you...
On Saturday I was watching the Grand Prix and noticed Suzi Perry was using a novel way of holding her iPad securely. Clearly this made presenting much easier, and "ding" I thought, as the lightbulb flashed on in my head. I could do with one of those, so the hunt began.
I placed my order Sat night and by Tuesday it had arrived. I made the simple attachment and there it was, the solution. No more trying to fold geometric shapes to make a stand or leaning against books or inadvertently tapping on the side of the screen whilst moving it and losing whatever was that I was trying to view.
"There it was, the solution."
Anyhow, the purpose of this email is to pass on some positive feedback to your company. I love the G-Hold, it's simple, stylish and very, very functional. Great design with an efficient service, and also its encouraging to see that you are a British company investing in British manufacturing.
I now see a wider use within my business arena and I am in the process of demonstrating the benefits of G-Hold to other partners within my organisation The fact that you are able to brand this product has ensured an even more positive response and a good uptake.
Love your work, have a great weekend."
G-Hold's latest look, Vintage Vinyl, makes its debut at independent record store Underground Solu'shn. You'll find the new design for sale among the shop's collection of dance, electronic and specialist vinyl - just look for them next to the decks. The G-Holders were keen to show their love of vinyl by launching at a store that's been committed to the cause since 1995.
G-Hold was on display at shows in Asia and Europe this weekend, with booths at the GREAT Festival in Seoul, South Korea and the Northamber Expo 15 just outside London in the UK. Response at both shows was great, with the most frequently heard comment being, "I wish I'd invented that."
In South Korea and Japan, you can purchase G-Hold via our friends at Quopin, www.quopin.com, while in the UK you can buy online from us here, or from one of our local stockists here.
Hot on the heels of the wonderful testimonial from chartered physiotherapist David Bowmaker (watch the video here), G-Hold has been featured in Middle East Hospital magazine, the definitive guide to hospitals and healthcare in the Middle East. G-Hold's ergonomic benefits make it ideal for use in hospitals and other healthcare environments, as it helps to prevent musculo-skeletal disorders caused by long term gripping of tablets.
Middle East Hospital spoke to inventor and CEO Alison Grieve about G-Hold:
Can you tell us a bit about G-Hold and your products?
G-Holds (www.g-hold.com) are award-winning, ergonomic handholds for portable devices, such as tablets, readers and mobile POS systems. All GHolds rotate 360˜, fold flat when not in use and can be stuck to the back of devices or cases either permanently (with the G-Hold Megastick) or repeatedly (with the G-Hold Micro Suction).
Can you give us an overview of your particular field of expertise and background of the company?
As I attended trade shows frequently with the Safetray, I bought a tablet for the convenience of working on the move. Finding it somewhat awkward, and nervous that I might drop it whilst on the move, I decided to come up with a new invention for tablets, using all the knowledge I had gained about the ergonomics of hands. That was how G-Hold was born. The G-Hold has been particularly well-received by professional users in healthcare, education and retail. It has even made a few appearances on Formula 1, with BBC presenter Suzi Perry using it live when covering the British Grand Prix!
What is your remit and why are you interested in the Arab Health Market?
Having conducted business in the Middle East with the Safetray, we know what an exciting and vibrant market it is. We were already aware of the significant investment going into healthcare in the region, particularly in Saudi, and, after having success in healthcare back in the UK, we decided it was a natural market for the G-Hold.
"I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the G-Hold as a great product. You can still use your iPad or your tablet, but use it in a good ergonomic position, and minimise any problems from holding it for too long, or holding it in a bad position."
David Bowmaker, B.Sc (Physio), M.Sc (Sports Science), M.Phty (Manip Physio), MCSP, HCPC, MMPA (Aus), is a Chartered Physiotherapist and Musculoskeletal Specialist. He contacted us recently to let us know how pleased he was with G-Hold's ergonomic benefits, and so of course we had to get him on video.
Here's what he had to say about G-Hold:
"Hello, my name is David Bowmaker, I'm a Chartered Physiotherapist at LifeFit Wellness in Falkirk. I just wanted to have a wee chat with you about the G-Hold, which is what I'm holding just now. With my tablet, when I'm working, I use the touchscreen for my notes, and thankfully about a year ago I was introduced to G-Hold as a way to safely hold my tablet.
"As you can see it means I can hold it very easily without dropping it at all, even in this position. What is very important to me for my own use of the tablet, is that the G-Hold allows me to sit up properly and have my neck and back in a good position, and my hand in a very nice, relaxed grip.
"Obviously for clients as well, if they have neck or back problems, then this could be a very useful device in terms of using their device without any problems. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the G-Hold as a great product. You can still use your iPad or your tablet, but use it in a good ergonomic position, and minimise any problems from holding it for too long, or holding it in a bad position, slumped, as most people do."
We can't help hearing 'Across the Universe' by the Beatles playing in our heads as we announce the launch of our newest G-Hold designs. Shoot through the Solar System and meet the Moon, Neptune and the true planet of love, Pluto with its heart-shaped dimple, before landing back on Earth. We also have Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation, which makes all this interplanetary travel possible.
The new G-Hold Science range is available to buy on our Shop page here, and is available to buy now in Our Dynamic Earth and the Glasgow Science Centre.

Plymouth, N.H.-Wesley McNair, who was dubbed "One of the most inventive minds in American poetry" by the "Hartford Courant," will be the final reader in the 2009 Eagle Pond Authors' Series at 3 p.m. April 5 at Plymouth State University.
Series namesake Donald Hall said, "Because he is a true poet, his New England is unlimited. Whole lives fill small lines, real to this poet, therefore to us."
McNair has been the recipient of fellowships from the Rockefeller, Fulbright, and Guggenheim Foundations, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Among many other awards, he has received the Sarah Josepha Hale Medal (also awarded to Robert Frost, Donald Hall, Maxine Kumin, Robert Lowell, May Sarton, and Richard Wilbur) for his "distinguished contribution to the world of letters." He received an Emmy Award for the script of a PBS series on Robert Frost.
His work has appeared in the "Pushcart Prize Annual," two editions of "The Best American Poetry," and more than 40 anthologies and textbooks. His poems and essays have appeared in "The Atlantic Monthly," "Del Sol Review," "Gettysburg Review," "Iowa Review," "Kenyon Review," and "Mid-American Review."
He is Professor Emeritus and Writer in Residence at the University of Maine at Farmington, where he received the Distinguished Faculty Award and the Libra Professorship.
McNair said he would like his poems to "be read by ordinary people," in a conversation with the "Concord Monitor's" Mike Pride. "Of course, I want to write poems that please poets I respect, too. But if I had to choose my audience, I'd probably pick the one with the ordinary people in it. The poets already know how words can restore the vision, but the others often don't know, and need to," McNair said.
McNair's early years were laced with poverty, living in projects outside Springfield, Vt. "We were the ones the town brought Christmas and Easter baskets to," he told Pride. His poems reflect that tough start. "By writing poems about common people who are in many ways outside the influence of the culture, I want to remind the reader of who we are down under some of the layers of civilized life," he said.
Free tickets are available at the Silver Center Box Office, (603)535-ARTS or (800)779-3869.
The Eagle Pond Authors' Series is named for co-founder Donald Hall's ancestral home in Wilmot, which has inspired much of his work. This series brings to campus some of the most widely read and revered authors of our time. The readings are presented by the Silver Center for the Arts and supported by a generous grant from the Plymouth State University Bookstore and Follett Higher Education Group.

Native American "drumming circles" at major EK seminars?
Expand Messages
- This is a crosspost from Eckankartruth.
Hello Jonathan and All,
The drumming circle or session
was an "unofficial" activity that
some of us were planning after
the evening seminar program.
Sometimes I would be with EK
musicians when they would
get together for jams as well.
Since there were no Shamans
conducting the drumming
circle we thought it would be
okay. After all, it wasn't to be
like a "worship service" nor
was it involving the Astral, or
Animism. And, any communication
with the "Great Spirit" would have
been seen as the ECK (Spirit).
'A rose is still a rose by any
other name.' It wasn't negative
it was positive, although, one
could argue that the "positive"
is still lower plane and tied into
karma or "tests" and are, therefore,
still a form of KAL. That's the
ECK think of it all... right!
Anyway, it just goes to show how
religions like to control their followers
via rules, laws, guidelines, guilt,
and fear. Eckankar has the RESA
Hierarchy (Police) to keep everyone
on their "track."
Here's a quote from the Shariyat 2,
Chapter 12, involving the Fourth
"The evolution of the intelligence
that is the Fourth Circle, the Mental
Plane, is the gradual rising out of
the psychic reality. This illusionary
world is typified in the Indian philosophy
by the word maya which means
illusion. In the Buddhist philosophy
it is known as mara, and in Christianity
as SATAN, or the DEVIL. It is known
in the works of ECK as KAL NIRANJAN,
king of the lower worlds."
And, in Klemps "Autobiography of a
Modern Prophet," on page 385, he states:
"In general, major religions locate
their heaven on the Mental Plane,
the so-called Fourth World. These
include Christianity, the Jewish religion,
Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism."
It's interesting that Twitchell designed
Eckankar around Fourth (Mental) Plane
religions/philosophies like Ruhani Satsang,
Theosophy, etc. and that Klemp has
given Eckankar his own Mental Plane
Christian (Lutheran) twist when both
PT and HK have stated that these Mental
Plane religions are controlled by KAL,
i.e. Satan or the Devil.

a major ECK seminar? A group of
us (once) got an empty room and
were supposed to have had one
because I was going to bring over
one of my Celtic drums. But, I seem
to remember that it got cancelled
because a higher-up at the ESC
got wind of it and thought it was
Me: No, I never saw Native American
"drumming" session at a major seminar.
Regarding your statement about why
your drumming session was canceled.
I tend to agree with your explanation
that a higher-up heard about it, and
probably because somebody complained
to them. You didn't ask, but since I find
this to be an interesting subject I spent
a lot of time thinking about why "Eckankar"
would consider a drumming session to
be inappropriate. I thought up two possible
1. I feel that drumming by a group of
people induces a trance-like state which
is something similar to the trance-like
state induced when people sing HU in
a group. I think that both are a type of
spiritual experience. So "Eckankar" could
perceive a drumming circle as something
which could compete for the attention
of Eckists (against the HU). What if a group
of Eckists decided that they liked drumming
together better than singing the HU together?
Eckankar couldn't allow that to happen.
2. A lot of people consider Native American
religions to be synonymous with witchcraft
or black magic. It was almost a year ago that
I mentioned the African-American lady (not
an Eckist) who told me that Native American
religions which believe that trees and animals
have spirits were, in fact, black magic. So
if the higher-up who canceled the drumming
session had conscious or unconscious
thinking along these lines, then they would
obviously think that " Native American group
drumming," was inappropriate at an Eck seminar.
3. Or perhaps it is as simple as "Native American
drumming is part of Native American religions;
therefore, we (Eckankar) shouldn't be incorporating
it into Eckankar." Of course, never mind the fact
that the HU was taken from the Sufis, and the
actual teachings of Eckankar came straight from
By the way, I know that there are Eckists who
do drumming on their own. Or they use feathers
or crystals for healing on their own. But as of
2008, my last year in Eckanakar, they were very
fanatical about keeping anything like this out
of Eckankar. Eckankar says they do this in order
to keep the teachings of Eckankar pure, and they
certainly have a right to do that. But getting back
to the drumming, maybe Eckankar considers
group drumming to be akin to somebody bringing
a healing crystal into a worship service and telling
everybody about it. Any higher-up hearing about
that crystal would go ballistic. Most religions change
over time, they incorporate new things as they
go along, but Eckankar seems to be very static.
Except, of course, for changing itself to appear
like Christianity. Or, adding a female or black
Eck master for political correctness. Basically,
they are watering down Eckankar so that it appears
less "weird" to potential converts.
So, summarizing, as far as Eckankar is concerned, is
"group drumming" just a harmless activity, or is it
(1) something that could cut into Eckankar's turf
(2) something representing the "Kal powers/witchcraft/
black magic" and therefore not in tune with Eckankar
(3) part of somebody else's religion already
I really don't know, but I hope I thought up some
interesting theories for people to consider.
So I guess the bottom line is that Eckankar has
the right to disallow drumming sessions, but
when I was a member I often wished they would
give us an explanation as to why they made certain
decisions. Too often, they either give a vague
answer or no answer. And then we Eckists would
sit around discuss all the possible reasons. In
the end all we ended up with was a bunch of
theories. But I am still interested in others thoughts
on this topic.
- Another crosspost from Eckankartruth:
Hello Jonathan and All,
Yes, the attempt to do a "drumming
circle" was an innocent act, and it was
meant to be fun! And, I've been at ones
where there was NO chanting just drumming!
I find them interesting in that the drumming
(sound) starts out as individualized/group
chaos and then harmonizes into a Unity of
Consciousness. It's a metaphor... for the
spiritual life.
Getting back to the use of fear and
control tactics of religions and of Eckankar:
Did Eckankar use metal detectors at the
2009 EWWS? I always thought that was an
over-the-top/knee-jerk reaction (a security/
fear tactic) for Klemp to use after 9/11.
Why should "God" (the Mahanta) be fearful
of anything or anyone? Couldn't/wouldn't/
shouldn't Rebazar and the other EK Masters
manifest themselves to protect Klemp?
Shouldn't HK be able to protect himself
and his chelas on the outer, as well as
(supposedly), on the inner? HK states
that his "protection" is with his followers.
But, where's the proof when H.I.s are dying
of cancer etc. Actually, this is proof that
Klemp is a liar. Guilt puts blame on the
chela/H.I. for the cancer (besides, it's a
"test" of faith) while Klemp dodges his
promises and responsibilities.
However, doubt began to creep into Eckists'
consciousness when the "metal detectors"
and "searches" began. This created more
questioning of Klemp's abilities, and his
truthfulness (as the LEM/Mahanta) began
to be doubted even more so.
When "God" (the Mahanta) is fearful and
needs metal detectors, searches, and a
security entourage one has to wonder
about the validity of this religion.
Then, of course, we have the aging factor.
Other EK Masters live forever and appear
rather youthful while Klemp is pale, old
looking and wrinkled, grey-haired, and
balding... like anyone else! I'm surprised
that Eckists can't believe their own eyes!
What delusion! How does one rationalize
all of these facts and contradictions? Are
people that desperate and needy? Yes!
Eckankar is just another feel good religion
with all of the rules and regulations and
busy work, guilt/fear, and ego traps that
all religions share. Every religion is unique
and that's why they attract a certain like-
minded group of individuals. Yet, all of
these believers think they are right and
everyone else is wrong and doomed! Unless,
of course, the sinner is converted. Therefore,
their "truth" must be shared with the world
in order to "save" the non-believer from
the negative effects of Kal, Satan, God, etc.
And, in EK, there are "inflow" game points
(initiations and positions) to be achieved
while doing "God's" missionary (vahana)
work to help raise the world's consciousness
via this"outflow." The imagination is fun
and useful and necessary, but it can, also,
be a trap and a means of creating delusion.

Tensions over the future of the Malden Hospital site flared up again last week, as owner Hallmark Health took City Hall to court to appeal alleged safety violations that claim the building — vacant since 2001 — is "dangerous and unsafe especially in case of fire."
Tensions over the future of the Malden Hospital site flared up again last week, as owner Hallmark Health took City Hall to court to appeal alleged safety violations that claim the building — vacant since 2001 — is "dangerous and unsafe especially in case of fire."
"As the property has been under consistent inspection by the city of Malden through its able Fire Department, [this] determination...is unfounded," Hallmark's Director of Facilities John D'Onofrio wrote in a letter to Malden Building Inspector Scott Fitzpatrick.
"Hallmark Health will vigorously defend against this finding and shall pursue any and all rights of appeal," continued the letter.
The two-page letter further details safety precautions taken at the site, including three weekly inspections by Malden fire officials, an electrical feed for fire alarms that allows remote monitoring by the Fire Department and some additional lighting for the building.
Hallmark also maintains a round-the-clock security presence at the hospital and widened fire lanes at the city's request.
D'Onofrio added the property was inspected more than 40 times since July 1, "with no fire safety issues being raised."
"We were disappointed and surprised, as we had been working with the city," said Hallmark Executive Vice President for Strategy and External Affairs Alan Macdonald. "We've been frustrated, as we haven't been able to sell the property as well, but feel we are getting closer to be able to do it."
The suit comes a little over a month after Councilors Craig Spadafora and John Matheson jointly sponsored a resolution calling for the city to consider taking the parcel by eminent domain, arguing potential buyers are likely to balk at the estimated $3 million to $3.8 million price tag to remove the parcel's now dilapidated property.
"Hallmark seems to feel they are entitled to fair market value with an expensive remediation project inherited by the buyer," Matheson said. "But every potential buyer I speak with says that's a non-starter. If you're going to pay $6 million for a parcel of land and it comes with a $3.5 million remediation bill before you do anything with it, that land is really only worth $2.5 million."
Matheson also took issue with some of the security measures touted by Hallmark Health, saying those 40 fire inspections are merely external, such as checking the firebox and the perimeter of the property, and overlook key problems inside of the building.
For example, the building's lack of heat will cause smoke detectors to malfunction below freezing temperatures, the councilor said.
There are also issues with trespassers, despite the 24-hour security. One particularly troubling incident three years ago involved some squatters burning a mattress in the building in a desperate bid for warmth.
"I feel bad for those folks, but that gives you a sense of some of the risks we're dealing with," Matheson said. "Young curiosity will lead young people into the building, and homeless people desperate for warmth and shelter are going to seek it out."
Macdonald acknowledged there had been problems at the site, but said Hallmark did not believe the parcel's existing building was an impediment to sale. He pointed to improving markets as a sign demand would increase for the parcel, without a need for city seizure under eminent domain.
"If someone said, 'We'd be interested in this if the hospital building weren't there at all,' at least that would start the discussion as to whether the hospital should take it down on its own, but we haven't gotten that far yet," Macdonald said. "If somebody said [that], that would be a whole different discussion. Certainly anybody who is interested in the development of the property would know that's a potential beginning point."
Another possible impediment to sale is a provision in a bond agreement from Hallmark's original 1997 purchase, allowing Hallmark to only market the property to non-profit organizations until March 2014, with some exceptions.
That arrangement stems from Hallmark's absorption of operational debts from the former non-profit hospital.
"That 'restriction' on the bond means that the difference between the bond (debt) and sale price would be payable in 180 days if the property were sold to a for-profit entity," Matheson wrote in an email. "That remaining debt could, however, be re-bonded into a new debt package to pay off the old debt, but the new debt may cost more by way of a higher interest rate.
"In other words, it is the cost of interest that is really at issue here," he cotninued." My concerns for the safety of the community I represent far outweighs the cost of corporate debt."
Macdonald responded Hallmark is just looking for something that works for both sides.
"We fully understand the importance of having this property be utilized for the advantage of the neighborhood and city," Macdonald said. "We don't want to occupy a vacant building and be managing a vacant building forever. We're not necessarily looking for top dollar, just what's fair to the hospital."

So here we have more black on white crime…And still the media refuses to report the truth. And of course they will never report the truth. It seems white lives don't matter.

Elkhart Police are continuing their investigation into a situation where a passenger allegedly threw gas at a woman working at a drive-thru.
It happened just after 1:30 a.m. on Friday, May 20th at the McDonald's on South Nappannee Street in Elkhart.
New video was posted to Facebook then taken down Saturday, May 28th showing a passenger throwing gasoline at an employee.

As a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Saudi Arabia applies the GCC common external tariff of 5% for most products, with a limited number of GCC-approved country-specific exceptions. Saudi Arabia's exceptions include 666 products that may be imported duty-free, including aircraft and most livestock. The Saudi government also applies a 12% tariff on 294 products, in some cases to protect local industries. Certain textile imports are among the products on which the 12% rate applies.
Being a WTO member, Saudi Arabia is expected to bind its tariffs on over three-fourths of U.S. exports of industrial goods at an average rate of 3.2%, while tariffs on over 90% of agricultural products will be set at 15% or lower.
- Import Tariffs on Food/Agricultural Products
The vast majority of food products are subject to a 5% import duty. Selected processed food products, however, are assessed higher import duties. In order to protect local food processors and production from competitively priced imports, Saudi Arabia ties import duties to the level of local production of similar products. As a general rule, a maximum import tariff rate of 40% is applied when local production of a food or agricultural product exceeds a self-sufficiency level.
Currently, a 40% import duty rate applies to fresh, dried and processed dates. Imports of rice, baby milk and animal feed (soybean meal, feed corn, barley, rice, sorghum, palm kernel meal, wheat bran, alfalfa hay, sugarcane molasses, rice bran, and sunflower meal, oats, canola meal, fish meal, alfalfa pellets, soy bean hulls, sunflower hulls, and rice bran) are subsidized while coffee, tea and fresh red meat enter the country duty free. Saudi Arabia has no tariff rate quota (TRQ) requirement.
On March 31, 2008, the Saudi government exempted wheat, wheat flour and other grains from import duties and reduced duties levied on 75 other foodstuffs to 5%. The decree aims at alleviating the impact of the rising cost of living in Saudi Arabia. Major foodstuffs that benefited from the reduced 5% import tariff included chilled and frozen poultry and their products, eggs (fresh, dried and powdered), cheese, cheese cream, vegetable oils, pasta, canned meat, fruit and vegetable juices, mineral and ordinary water, long life milk, corn flakes, peas, beans, peanut butter, yeast, and baking powder. The government will review the list in April 2011.
Confectionary products with cocoa and other bulk cocoa products are subject to a 15% tariff. Nine types of fresh\chilled vegetables (tomatoes, onions, carrots, cucumbers, marrow, okra, watermelons, melons and potatoes) are subject to a 25% tariff on a seasonal basis. Saudi Arabia also imposes a 100% tariff on cigarette and other tobacco imports.

Missing Treasure Map
"Mr R. L. Stevenson was once trying to turn a room at Braemar into a picture gallery, by means of a shilling paint box, for a boy of his acquaintance. Among the pictures painted by him was a map of a marvellous island called by them 'Treasure Island'; and from this incident sprang the famous book that made his name"
Could such a thing still exist? Perhaps it is tucked away in a museum somewhere, well-known to RSL aficionados (of which I am not really one): or perhaps it is languishing in someone's attic. Maybe it bore a resemblance to the published map (above), or maybe it was nothing like it, providing just the seed and not the shape of the idea that came later... in any case, there is a certain irony that, given the things that RSL went on to do after painting this boy's bedroom, the map itself is surely something of a treasure...

In my Tusitala edition of Treasure Island there's a note by Stevenson in which he describes his dismay when having sent the original map to Cassell's they managed to lose it. Since the story was invented to fit the map a new one had to be drawn up, and that's the one that's printed in all the early editions.

Aha! I had forgotten, John, that you are in fact just such an RLS aficionado as was called for in my original post! Perhaps that means there are in fact three originals floating about somewhere: one from the wall of a small boy's bedroom, one that was lost by Cassells and a third, perhaps in Cassell's archives, which was finally used to illustrated the book. Oh, I feel like Fiona Bruce and Philip Mold all rolled into one...!

There seems to be some confusion as to who did what with the original map. There are several notes in the book, from RLS himself, his wife and their step-son Lloyd Osbourne who was the 12-year-old boy for whom the story was written. Osbourne says he drew a map to which RLS added colour and place names; RLS in a separate note says the map was all his own work, and its creation encouraged demands for a story to go with it. There does however seem to have only been one map, and it was this that was sent to the publisher along with the manuscript. Cassell say they never received the map so it must be gone for good. That leaves the question of the whereabouts of the redone version.
I often wonder about such things with regard to book production, assuming that publishers must copy and recopy from earlier editions. The Tusitala books are all pocket-sized so the map isn't very good quality at all. Last time I read it I found a decent copy online and printed it out for reference.

Hi Mike,
Well, quite often the things that get mentioned on this blog are for sale and so you are quite right to ask, however, on this occasion not. Only because what I quite often do is to buy absolutely knackered copies of Victorian periodicals - and I mean completely hopeless copies - for pennies, and then go through them cutting and snipping and pasting little tid bits of interest in my own scrapbook and so on. Whatever volume this was, and it may have been 2 but I'm afraid I don't remember, there would only have been about a half of the volume anyway, even before I started in on it... Thanks for asking though...

Ah OK. I'm trying to catch 'em all and the early ones are pretty rare (though not as much as bound years of Amalgamted Press papers XD).
If you like other people's old scrapbooks the Haunted Bookshop in Cambridge has one at the moment that's got all old cigarette cards in and that :3

Friday, I enjoyed a girls night out with visiting Aussies Louise, the friend of my Sydney-based galpal Sue, and her classmate Sharon. Our delightful evening coincided with Australia Day – and reminded me of why I have such affection for Oz and its people.
We met up for dinner at Asian bistro amber on the Upper West Side. Louise and Sharon filled me in on their once in a lifetime visit to DC for a political conference that included meeting Jesse Jackson and James Carville – and catching glimpses of President Obama and Michelle during the Inauguration. As they spoke with great appreciation for the day s pageantry, I felt a surge of pride for my country – and more than happy to share why I remain so smitten with theirs.
Australians have mastered the art of work life balance and they are some of the most fun, genuine people you will ever meet. It's easy to feel like old friends when you're among them and Friday was no exception.
The three of us fell into easy conversation about marriage, parenthood, travel, and following your passion. When they asked about single life in new York, I was candid about the ups and downs of it…and glad to tell them about the Aussie old flame who has recently resurfaced. I think 2013 is going to be full of romantic surprises if this month is any indication.

Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, these are common terms you certainly know about or at least heard once. What's about cholesterol ratio? Don't worry! It is nothing confusing. It is simply the number obtained by dividing your Total Cholesterol (TC) by your High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) level. It is a very useful number in helping to predict a person's risk level of developing atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. However, it is not a good indicator for deciding the most suitable treatment you should have to reduce their level of heart disease risk. In order to assess this properly and work up a plan for treatment purposes, it is important to know the absolute numbers for all your cholesterol levels.
As an example, if your TC is 158 mg/dL and your HDL is 43 mg/dL, your cholesterol ratio would be 3.7. Now, according to the AHA (American Heart Association), the number we are aiming for is below 5, with the ideal being close to 3.5. In other words, a lower TC/HDL ratio is better since your aim is to increase your HDL cholesterol numbers and reduce your total cholesterol overall.
Same Numbers, Different Outcome
Taking the example described above and examining it more closely, you can see that two persons may have same total cholesterol reading but their cholesterol ratio may differ, stressing the fact that your goal is to consistently raise your HDL number since this will affect your ratio drastically. To illustrate that, if someone had a total cholesterol level of 180 and HDL level of 30 (while the level should be over 40 and over 50 for women), the ratio would be at 6 putting you in the risky category. But, with a higher HDL of 50, the score will be 3.6, practically optimal.
Difference between Men and Women
Due to the fact that women naturally have higher HDL levels than men, their proportion of TC/HDL is generally lower. A cholesterol ratio of 4.4 would indicate average risk for developing heart disease for a woman while for men, the average risk number is 5. If that ratio approaches 7 for women, their risk for heart disease doubles, while 3.3 is the ideal number to halve that same risk. For men, if the proportion reaches 9.6, the risk for heart disease doubles, while accordingly, having a number closer to 3.4 would cut their overall risk to half.
Apart from the TC/HDL number, there is another number which is the proportion of HDL to LDL. You can calculate this yourself by taking your HDL level and dividing it by your LDL number. So for example, if one has an HDL level of 40 mg/dL and LDL of 140 mg/dL, the HDL/LDL ratio would be about 0.29. The goal here is to keep this number above 0.3, with an ideal result of having it closer to or above 0.4.
The HDL/LDL proportion can be considered to be a much purer ratio than TC/HDL simply because it directly compares the "good" cholesterol versus the "bad" cholesterol levels while dividing TC by HDL could seem illogical as TC = HDL + LDL + 1/5 TG.
There is much debate though amongst doctors and cholesterol research scientists on using HDL/LDL score for heart disease development risk assessment. Also, as obtaining LDL levels is more difficult and expensive than the total cholesterol, doctors generally use TC/HDL
Aiming to get your LDL score below 100 and even 80 is still highly recommended regardless of whether your ratio is favorable or not. This is especially crucial for people with established coronary artery disease, those that are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol, diabetics, people having high blood pressure and smokers.

History Up to the now.
As a student this kid has always been a good learner, having hardly anyone who shares his surname to be with seeing that his parents had died a long time ago, the only person Ryusuta see's as family is his sensei Tau Uchiha and his sister Kotori Uchiha. Although Ryusuta does have someone he see's as his father by the name of Kira. Ryusuta has always thought he was alone when it came to certain situations, he tends to do things on his own due to the boy's arragents. He tends to go against those who offer protection because he only wants to rely on his own power and skill. Senju Ryusuta is very strong minded at that, he has defeated many other students in the academy using his own fighting tactics ,but yet he has not lost a single spar against a student or anyone else. He use to have no goals, no dreams and thought he had no purpose in the shinobi world because of his first failure on the Genin exams. But before the next exams had took place Ryusuta Senju trained daily ,despite his best efforts he felt as if he was getting no where and felt trapped at ground 0. The boy was troubled in a way, but all his troubles began to fade away when he met the following people that in a way gave him purpose to fight -Bakudo Aburame, Nanami Azura,Motetsu, Shukada, Shiori Hyuuga and Saiko Nara .
The child learned that he doesn't have to always do things on his own. He always neglected a helping hand because of his thinking " I always do well enough alone!" but even he knew that doing things alone will have a down fall sooner or later. Even his sensei Tau saw that he was too stuburn to understand that everyone needs help once in a while. Ryusuta has even found himself a rival to compete with named Shukada. Though the two have never seen eachother in battle, they both can feel the talent each of them hold. Ryusuta usually trains and spars with his friend Bakudo , the two spar while holding back for most of the time so that they wont hurt eachother in case some events were to happend. The boys train intensely by sparring on water or going up a mountain , at times they may even though a weapon or two at each other as there sensei Tau watched. Ryusuta has even went head on with Saiko once before during a kidnapping event which was held in the Academy, all the higher ups were acting like they were bandits but Ryusuta already knew it was all just a game. But he wanted to test his skills against someone of greater talent. He and Saiko went head on for a good bit ,almost being cut by a kunai Ryusuta was able to slip dash his way from Saiko and slickly make a breakthrough for the door to advance to the next stage of the event. Getting past all other Genin guarding the other doors, by the time He arrived to the hostage who name was Milly, she had told him it was too late an the event had ended even though he was the first to make it to her, but Ryusuta didn't worry for he was just there to test his skill.
The kid knows his limits, running up a mountain and back has told him that, as a Senju he knows his clan was once one of the strongest upon a time and wish to regain that greatness himself and become the strongest Senju of his clan today. He has always attended class and sometimes he skipped a few because of what he already knew. Not long after a month or two during the boys training with his friends and sensei , another Genin exam had occured and he was so nervous for himself and his friends Bakudo and Nanami. But luckily he had passed the exam aswell as Bakudo, though Nanami had not taken the exam yet for reasons he had no idea of. Though Nanami,Tau,Bakudo,Motetsu,Kane, everyone was proud of his success to becoming a Genin finally. But before the exams there was an explosion, the Hospital was blown up along with an Hotel, when the boy was training on top the mountain he saw it happend from afar. He went to see what was going on ,him and his sensei Tau.
No one seemed to be in the village except that there were people guarding the outside of the Hokage mansion. He was then told to go to the office due to it being a duty of the higher ups to protect every villagers in the Office. Ryusuta was eager to go out the office and survive for himself, he was angry because he did not want the protection of others, Kira had stopped him from leaving many times and Shiori even helped. Though eventually when people weren't paying attention Ryusuta snuck out and was on the outside once again, but he wanted to see who was the one who had blown up the hospital. Not knowing who did so he was ready for battle and his instincts had lead him to it. Ryusuta was very well prepared, he had already learned all three basic jutsu and the wall/water/tree climbing walking jutsu. He was skilled with handling weapons aswell , but the boy had ran into a hooded man who then tried to rush in and stab him with a kunai. Ryusuta knew that he was in a battle but he couldn't help but to smile after he kicked the man down after dodging his strike. The man then ran and Ryusuta ran after him leaving out the gates of the village he didn't that man to get away.
Soon after the man came to a stop in the middle of seven tree's. He turned to the boy and introduced himself claiming to be somone named Bane Hizu. The boy could of cared less of the name for all he wanted was to end the battle with the man in all black clothing. The man cast out his arms revealing two windmill shurikens on his hips , one on each side he grabbed one and had tossed it to the boys direction. With the distance they were in he had just enough time to dodge with the windmill landing on the ground scraping durt into the air. Ryusuta knew he had no choice but to prepare himself. He performed hand signs in order to set up the Kawarimi jutsu in case he'd have another windmill coming his way. The boy then reached into his backpouch grabbing two shuriken in his left and right hand thus rushing forth to Bane and throwing them at him aiming for his torso and hands.
The Battle Ryusuta's Breakthrough
The shurikens glided threw the air while the man rushed towards the boy. He was sure that they would land a hit as they ran towads eachother, the man tried to dodge most of them but were hit with the shurikens landing a hit on his right hand and his right side of his chest. The man then threw the last windmill shuriken he had but Ryusuta being smart enough to have his kawarimi in position he was ale to replace his body with a log of wood from a tree in the area they were in. He had reappeared next to the tree where he was able to perform another set of hand signs to create a bunshin genjutsu base clone of himself. He made it run towards the man but surprisingly it worked, the man thought it was the REAL Ryusuta making the clone strike a fake attack as it faded away while Ryusuta threw a kunai at the mans left leg landing the hit the manw as forced to kneel down. But he left the kunai and shuriken in where they had stabbed him.
Ryusuta knew this battle was going to take a while so he revealed himself from behind the tree grabbing a kunai from his holster in his battle ready stance running towards the crazed man while he had also ran towards him. As the finally met close up in combat Ryusuta had thrust his kunai forward to try and stab him, the man quickly grabbed his hand this kicking him in the ribs sending him west of where he stood leaving Ryusuta to glide across the ground with his feet still on the ground. The two clashed for a good period of time , Ryusuta was hit by a few of his shurikens and scraped on his left shoulder by a kunai.
But luckily Ryusuta had prepared another substitution jutsu for Bane as he then played the game of deception tricking Bane into thinking that he would really rush in for a attack upfront . Ryusuta had double kicked the guy towards a tree seeing that they were both tired the man lost his wind(breath) in the process of his back hitting a tree and a double kick to the chest where he already had shuriken stabbed into. While the man was down Ryusuta had picked up one of the windmill shuriken he had thrown earlier that was stabbed into the ground, he struggled greatly picking it up yet along holding it with his right hand and arm. The man then said to him "I can't believe I'm being defeated....By a Konoha Student...." .
The boy glared at him with the face of a killer before he'd finally left the heavy windmill up and run forth to stab the windmill into the tree by stabbing it threw Bane first and finally killing him with banes cry of defeat and Ryusuta's roar of victor. The boy fell to his knees trying to hold himself back up making his way back to the village seeing it was not that far, but he was quickly comfronted by a medical ninja who then brought him home seeing that the hospital was blowned up and healed him by closing up the wounds. The boy was in recovery for an entire week but during that week he was being treated and watched over by a girl named Tsubaki who would bring him Ramen and wrap his arms with bandeges.
His sensei Tau would come to visit him aswell , but during the fifth day of his recovery Tau had shown and told him something he had never heard of, He told him about the "Sharingan" the curse of the Uchiha and shown it to him. Ryusuta was simply amazed and surprised to what he had just learned.Days past as he heals by natural causes, he finally has the chance to train even harder after that fight he had he knows what he must do and what he shall improve in, he wont allow his rival Shukada to surpass him. This child has became Genin at the age of 10 and is well trained aswell, he wants to live up to his clan title Senju"A Thousand Skills" and become one of the strongest Shinobi in his village and if so the world.
Soon another Rogue had appeared and wanted to fight the boy in the sewers. But he was smart and had his friend Bakudo come along with him, the man was well clothed in black which made it difficult to fight seeing that the sewers hardly had any light, But luckily he had a tourch with him and both Bakudo and Ryusuta tricked the man with their bunshin clones seeing that in the dark no shadows would be visible and the only way to be sure it was a clone would be to hit it and see if the attack fades threw, when the man attacked Ryusuta's clone that allowed him to hear out how close he was, and when Bakudo's clone went in Ryusuta had the tourch to light the path as Bakudo's bugs followed behind his clone. The man threw his weapons at the clone but soon then the bugs had already gotten to him, he struggled to kill them off but eventually they swarmed him and drained his chakra dry. After the man had finally been defeated and died, Ryusuta used the tourch to set the body to flames while the fire rises. Soon the two left the sewers and returned to the village with a look of sorrow on there face after keeping a man in such agony. The two learned that the shinobi world is filled with death and more, but they had alot of growing up to do before they became mature and true shinobi.

Catty Confrontation.
Lost temper with Cat. It is just as people say. They care only for themselves. Thought would make feel at home with grand gesture. Got out collection of Italian Vogues and called cat over. She couldn't have cared less! Turned up nose and pushed past me. Could not bite tongue any longer. Said "That's it. I am making all this effort to get on and you are making none!" She just looked at me coolly and left the room.

Hmmmm. Concerned with six year olds subject of artistic inquiry. Have gone overnight from drawing colourful pets and hapless dinosaurs to sketches of trench warfare.
Where's that coming from? Surely if six year old was needing to express angst in own artwork we'd see drawings of playground arguments or a plate of mummy's muffins. Not unarmed civilians being shot at by tanks as they climb out of trenches. The air raid looks pretty scary too. When asked he said they were in a different classroom for Indonesian Studies and found an "army picture" under the desk he was at. That day he came home, went straight to his room and whipped up the above two page art extravaganza within fifteen minutes. Army Picture sure made impression.
Of course wont make big deal of it. Not that kind of mother. Will tell six year old they are lovely drawings and look forward to one of similar on next years Mother's Day card.

So sick of vanilla. I long for cheese and mayonnaise and avocado...and chocolate cake. But I dont dare. I sat down today with the failsafe cook book and found some good carob recipes that if you pour enough sugar and oil into can almost be shared with friends. Good friends. Friends who wont judge you on the texture of your muffins.

Italian Vogue.
It's hard to justify the price of Italian vogue and yet, somehow I do. Flicking through the latest copy at Borders last week the usual excuses were paraded through my head. Everything from the reasonable "I just won't buy any coffees this month" to the desperate "I'll home school the kids next term" (then the realisation they don't attend a private school anyway).
Maybe if I share some of it though I can turn my private vice into a public good.......

Clunk, Roll.
I try not to go on here about the onslaught of colds and flu autumn brings my way. Not because I'm adverse to whinging - on the contrary, I find it lends me a certain charm - but because it's hard to find a nice photo to go with a post topic like that. (This may soon change. I am currently working on a series of embroideries of the influenza H1N1 virus, aka swine flu). But in the interests of record keeping, which was one of the original intentions of this blog, I just wanted to get it down here that I have only just recovered from a very nasty knee infection from when my partner pushed me down a flight of stairs a few weeks ago. OK, didn't actually push me, I shouldn't say that. More turned the outdoor light off just as I stepped out for the laundry. Deliberately. OK, not deliberately. Just turned off a light that seemed to be on for no reason. Though the timing did seem suspicious. And why would I put the decking light on for no reason? Think electricity police meets possible opportunistic prank. Think two weeks barely out of bed except to go to the surgery and get the dressing changed. Think painful and inconvenient. Anyway the point is: it was nobodies fault. But if it was someones fault they shouldn't feel bad. Don't feel bad honey.
So what's it like to fall down a flight of stairs? Like anybody I had often found myself wondering the same thing. What would be going through your head for example as you fell??? I was amazed to read once that Princess Diana had thrown herself down a flight in front of Charles as a kind of cry for help. Which sounds very sad and desperate. In my case I had no idea I was falling until the first clunk-roll in a series of clunk-rolls so was surprised to find my thoughts quite calm. Less "There are three of us in this marriage" and more "Bummer, the final episode of Desperate Romantics is about to start in five minutes". Of course Diana probably threw herself down a long marble staircase where as mine was just nine or ten timber steps. OK, more like six. Alright five. But the final clunk-roll was my skull on concrete. Amazingly no real injuries, just sore bits and bruises and a friction burn on my knee I paid no heed to. Hence the infection. Which was very painful and inconvenient. And as I said - no one's fault.

Happy Dressing, Bright Colour.
Always the way with clothes - you find the best stuff when you're not looking. Passing by Portman's the other day I glanced at the sales rack outside the shop and spotted this pretty orange/red and blue flowered pattern. It turned out to be a vintage style, Forties inspired silk dress. One Hundred and Twenty Nine dollars reduced to Twenty Five. In my size.
> cue hyperventillation <
A fun dress to layer with (true, no real option - it's a Canberra winter after all!) and already I'm loving the orangey red with this creamy turquoise blue cardigan (a hard colour to photograph correctly, I think I came close though). Not exactly winter colours are they? But a little bit of what might be needed with the temperatures hovering around 6 lately and the sun not showing it's face!

Ghost World - Top Five Favourite Movie.
One of my most favourite movies of all time ever is Ghost World - the movie adaptation of Daniel Clowes cult comic about misfit teenager Enid and her best friend Rebecca. There are so many reasons why this movie is a treasured DVD in my collection but take for starters the casting - it is pitch perfect. Thora Birch as Enid and Scarlett Johansson as Rebecca are inspired choices for the two alienated yet too-cool-for-school just-graduated best friends but really it's Steve Buscemi as the reclusive Seymour whom Enid befriends which makes the movie. His character is so fully concieved and painfully rendered that at times it's hard to watch. The addition of Illeanna Douglas (totally underated actress), as the hysterical and embarressingly hippie art teacher, is the icing on the cake.
But for anyone who appreciates a movie's style as much as it's substance (or even more than!) this movie is heaven from the very first frame. The credits open with the fabulous "Jaan Pehechan Ho" number from a 1965 Bollywood musical "Gumnaam" as Enid gets ready for her graduation ceremony. If this scene, below- an intersperse of the "Jaan Pehechan Ho" number with views into the windows and lives of anonymous inhabitants of the apartment block Enid lives in, as she dances to the video in her tiny room - doesn't get you in I don't know what will. Watch it below and see if you just don't want to hire it immediately. Otherwise I might have to bring my copy around to your house, pop it in your player and sit there watching you expectantly through all my favourite bits. Which I'm told is really off putting.
