Gay rights bill snags on blurred perceptions of identity, orientation
San Franciscans might be more educated than most about the distinctions among transsexuals, cross-dressers and ordinary drag queens.
But an irony of the debate in Washington over whether to include transgender people in a bill banning job discrimination against gays and lesbians is that a lot of straight people in other parts of the country draw no distinction between gays and transsexuals - lumping gender identity and sexual orientation together.
Transgender people have been part of the gay movement since its birth at the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City in part because much of the public does not discriminate in its discrimination against sexual minorities.
That could be one reason two of Congress' leading champions of gay rights - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, and Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass. - met intense opposition from gay organizations when they attempted to remove protection for transgender people from the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, widely known as ENDA.
The backlash was so intense that Pelosi was forced on Monday to postpone votes on a bill she had hoped would demonstrate the new Democratic majority's commitment to civil rights.
Even though gender identity and sexual orientation are two different things - many people who have changed gender are not gay - leading gay rights organizations refused to abandon transgender people even if it meant delaying passage of a landmark bill they have sought for more than a decade.
That's because discrimination against gays and lesbians often is based on their refusal to conform to gender norms, advocates said.
"A lot of the discrimination against people who are gay or lesbian is coming less from hostility to a specific sexual orientation as from the expectation of what it means to be a man or what it means to be a woman," said Christopher Anders, a legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union who has worked on the anti-discrimination bill for years.
"The more masculine a gay man is, or the more feminine a lesbian is, the less the likelihood of discrimination," Anders said.
The worry among gay-rights lawyers is that even if there is a statute banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, employers could point to straight-passing gay employees as evidence that they are not discriminating - even if they refused to hire or promote a gay person whose dress or mannerisms did not fit gender stereotypes.
A Supreme Court case from 1989 offered hope that transgender people might find protection outside the gay and lesbian tent.
In Price Waterhouse vs. Hopkins, the court held that Amy Hopkins, a senior female accountant, could sue under the gender discrimination provisions of the Civil Rights Act after her proposed promotion to partnership in the firm was dropped because she was overly aggressive, did not dress appropriately for her sex and otherwise did not fit into the feminine stereotype.
Although highly praised for her work, Hopkins was advised that if she wished to become partner, she should "walk more femininely, talk more femininely, dress more femininely, wear make-up, have her hair styled, and wear jewelry."
Despite hopes among gay-rights attorneys, the case never became a precedent for discrimination claims by transgender people. About five years ago, gay litigation groups dropped the effort, deciding instead to add gender identity to the proposed jobs discrimination bill.
If gender identity were left out of the legislation, Anders said, "we clearly were going to be leaving out most of the transgender community, and we were also opening ourselves up to potential gaps for gay and lesbian people" who do not conform to conventional gender norms.
"The irony if that were to happen," he said, "is we would end up with a sexual-orientation ENDA bill protecting people who least need protection" - masculine gay men and feminine lesbians.
The issue has split the gay community, some arguing that it would be better to protect gays and lesbians now and work on behalf of transgender people later rather than stopping the effort for everyone.
"What we're seeing is the same kind of fragmentation in the gay movement that we saw in the 1970s, when people wanted to jettison gender variant people from the gay movement and just say, 'We're just like you. The only difference between us is who we sleep with,' " said Jameson Green, an East Bay author of "Becoming a Visible Man," who transitioned from female to male while working at Sun Microsystems in 1988.
Green said that while he faced little job discrimination, studies show widespread unemployment and underemployment among transgender people. He said a friend who is a senior engineer at a major defense contractor who is transitioning from male to female has "suffered nothing but demotions and transfers to remote plant sites."
"This is not OK," Jameson said. "People are suffering needlessly because other people simply are uncomfortable in the face of difference, and that's just unacceptable."
The board of the Human Rights Campaign, the largest gay lobbying group in Washington, issued a statement Tuesday saying the group would oppose a sexual-orientation-only bill but would not encourage members to vote against one.
"We are not able to support, nor will we encourage members of Congress to vote against, the newly introduced sexual-orientation-only bill," the statement by HRC President Joe Solmonese said. "Some may say we should have joined the growing chorus of public dissenters earlier. We believed, and still do, that the correct course of action was to continue dialogue with our allies on the Hill and work to the last minute to effect change."
Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, took issue with the idea that dropping transgender people from the discrimination bill - with a promise of trying to get them included in a separate bill sometime later, as Frank proposed - is simply a commitment to incremental progress.
"Maybe we haven't communicated this well, but it's incremental if everybody doesn't get what they want," Keisling said. "It's not incremental if some people are entirely left out. That has been a tenet of the civil rights community forever."
Boston University law Professor Robert Volk, who teaches a course on the law and sexual minorities, said it would make little sense legally or politically to remove gender identity from a civil rights law because the relationship between the two is so close. Both are sexual minorities.
"What's the point, what's the purpose?" he said. "It's taken me a while to get my hands around it, but the relationship between the two is so close, and you're not going to get any more votes."
Democratic leaders insisted they don't have the votes to pass the discrimination bill if it covers transgender people. They are also worried about hostile amendments specifically targeted at any transgender provisions, which could either force the whole bill to fail or end up removing gender identity anyway. The agreement they reached with gay groups is to delay a committee vote until later this month, giving time for activists to round up votes.
Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the only openly lesbian member of Congress, refused to endorse the move by Pelosi and Frank (the only openly gay man in Congress) to remove transgender people from the bill. She agreed to the delay because she views it as a commitment to pass the bill and allows time for those who want to include transgender people "to make their closing arguments to members of Congress."
But if those arguments fail, she would not commit to voting against a sexual-orientation-only bill.
"I am committed as we speak today to doing what I can to push for consideration of an inclusive bill," Baldwin said.

Defining the terms
Generally accepted definitions:
Transgender is a broad term to describe individuals who, although not necessarily gay, identify themselves with the opposite sex or do not conform to the gender roles of their own biological sex.
Transsexuals have the biological characteristics of one gender but identify themselves as the opposite and might have undergone medical procedures that alter their gender to conform to that identity.
Cross-dressers, also known as transvestites, identify with their own gender and are not often gay, but wear clothes usually worn by people of the opposite biological sex.
Drag queens, gay men who dress as women, are not considered to be transgender.

Tampa, Fla. — September 4, 2007 — The statistics are startling, especially for a parent with a school-age child. As 50 million students head back to public schools across the country, the sad reality is that ultimately around 10 million of those students will never graduate from high school. According to the U.S. Department of Education?s National Center for Education Statistics, the average freshman graduation rate is around 75 percent, in the 48 states that reported their information. While Nebraska has the highest graduation rate, at 87.6 percent, Nevada had the lowest rate with only 57.4 percent. Faced with such realities, it?s easy to see why parents need every tool they can find to help their child make the grade.
?Nobody wants it to be their child that doesn?t graduate,? says Cari Diaz, of Club Z!, a Florida-based education company with over 400 locations across the nation.. ?But a lot of parents? kids don?t graduate. There are steps that parents can take in order to help their child succeed in school. One of them is making sure they are getting the help the need, especially if there is a subject in which they are struggling.?
While the reasons students drop out of high school are as diverse as the student body, there are quite a few, each year, that simply can?t keep up in a particular subject. Faced with the challenges of the nation?s overcrowded schools, it can be a daunting task for a student to receive one-on-one assistance from their teacher. Yet many students need additional help in subjects like math and English, key classes that must be passed in order to complete high school. That?s where Club Z!?s In-Home Tutoring Services comes to the rescue, providing students across the country for over 12 years with the in-depth training they need. With that help, students are able to grasp a subject better and maintain passing grades.
?If a student is struggling in something like math or reading, it could have severe consequences,? adds Diaz. ?They may not feel comfortable asking for help in school. Ultimately, it could mean lower grades, and they may eventually drop out if they feel they can?t keep up. Parents should suggest one-on-one tutoring because it?s in their own home, where they feel comfortable and can actually concentrate on the subject matter.?
Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services provides one-on-one tutoring services in reading, writing, math, science, music and foreign languages. Additionally, they offer help with developing study and organization skills, and they offer standardized test preparation.

The Monster Within: Australian Gothic emphasises the terror of the familiar
White-heritage Australians have been making films that can be identified as Australian Gothic (primarily a literary style rather than a genre) since the early 1970s, picking up where the rest of the world left off – particularly Americans, who languished in films like Rebecca (Hitchcock 1940) and the Euro influence of Frankenstein and Dracula, but who had incorporated the exhausted genre as a whole into horror films. Gothic as literature was big in the late 1700s but was being parodied by the start of the next century and started to lose its value. In the early 1900s with the advent of mainstream film making, there was a reignited interest in the styles of Gothic as genre, but that interest gave way to the advent of the horror film, a genre deemed to break open the boundaries of the gothic film and gothic novel. Since then, contemporary film gothic tends to be represented by films like Interview with the Vampire, the multiple Frankenstein films, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeny Todd and most other Tim Burton films.
However, examined via the literary tradition, Australians have been making a unique style of Gothic film since the 1970s and, seen through the tropes of the gothic novel, films that were first dismissed as rubbish or pretentious (The Cars That Ate Paris, and The Night, The Prowler) become remarkable statements about the white Australian psyche. When the gothic novel first emerged in the mid-1700s it was a way to examine the unspoken, the sublimated fears as unexpressed motivators in the human psyche. Tropes of the gothic novel include: the depiction of a fallen world that impacts characterization, setting and theme; the wanderer in perpetual exile; and a journey to the sublime via human horror rather than temperance. Its ideas like this that gave birth to Frankenstein and Dracula, both entities very much connected to sex and (re)birth, death and loneliness, but also to the monster within, searching not for redemption but for a kind of beauty. In the case of the traditional gothic monster, he is a creature made from ourselves, our own psyches. Horror took this monster to the extreme, removing the subtleties and in the place of the relationship between terror/desire it emphasised the horrific death (fear) against sex itself and turned the monster into a completely inhuman force, determined on destruction and consumption. While horror was making its presence felt, Australians were quietly making films that, against trend, further absorbed and exemplified the monster within. The traditional gothic monster becomes what it was initially, an introverted sublimated impact of social forces on the psyche that operates through the wandering individual lost in a decaying world.
Peter Weir is the most obvious originator of the Australian Gothic, his more famous films of this period and genre being Picnic at Hanging Rock and The Cars That Ate Paris. Weir taps into the very uniquely white Australian problem of being a stranger in one's own land. White Australia has the psychic history of walking onto occupied land and claiming it, generating a feeling of great unease in our relationship with the physical earth in this country, and a strange unease with our identity as inheritors of European culture and displacers of Aboriginal heritage. Many cultures grapple with their historic crimes, but these films depict a specifically white Australian anxiety. In Picnic at Hanging Rock, and The Cars That Ate Paris, the message is about the unknown spirit of the land that can take over the white, troubled psyche. Weir started this exploration in Homesdale (1971) about a group of people who go to a country "retreat" and play a series of "games" that are set up by the staff of the resort. Each day the games involve a confrontation with the ideas of death and mortality. The "weakest" among them succumbs to the psychological pressure and murders one of the guests. In the closing scenes of the film, we see that the murderer has now become one of the staff at Homesdale and will remain when the other guests leave. This is all very Freudian, where psychological rather than supernatural forces become the prime movers in worlds where the protagonists are sure of neither themselves nor their neighbor. In 1979 Weir made The Plumber, a psychological horror about an unnerving tradesman who invades a home via the bathroom, that place where the unmentionable happens and we rid ourselves of our own generated filth and waste. Summerfield (1977) by Ken Hannam deals with rural Australia and the sublimated strangeness of small towns.
Landscape is a recurring theme in many Australian films, but its malevolence is never as powerfully captured as in Australian Gothic. Horror films such as Wolf Creek and The Babadook use the landscape as an eerie film setting, but they retain the firm resolution that the monster is a thing outside. Even in a film like The Babadook that obviously references the three components of the psyche, the monster is still externalized, even among all the metaphor. Films like The Proposition and Gallipoli use the barren Australian landscape to indicate danger and an environment working against the intentions of the human walking upon it, but its impact is superficial, cosmetic. It's harsh, and barren. In Picnic at Hanging Rock, the landscape is a monster that can devour two girls and a school teacher so that they are never seen again. It subsequently causes the suicide of two more people at the school and implicitly deals with European ideals at odds with the spirit of this strangely foreign land.
Australian Gothic incorporates an examination of society and directly involves it in the deterioration of the protagonist wanderer, who will discover that they are terrifyingly alone. In The Cars That Ate Paris, it is society turned inward that is the gothic monster, but certain themes of Weir's tell us that the monster is not confined to Paris. The brilliant opening sequences depict a couple designed to appear as if in a commercial, until they are devoured by the malevolent behaviors in Paris. It's a remarkable prediction and condemnation of film product placement that will become the norm a decade or so later, as well as an attack on the surface of ideal that cinema creates. The speech given by the mayor of Paris at the ball mirrors the speech heard earlier in the car as the Waldo brothers listen to the Australian prime minister. The appearance at the ball of the lobotomised crash victims with cereal packets over their heads is a shocking scene, made all the more so by the applause of approval the citizens of Paris give at their entrance. The cars that ultimately destroy the town are driverless machine monsters that attack the town as by-product of its sleazy revenue. When Arthur is finally able to drive again and escape the town, his freedom comes from committing a horrific murder, and complying with the towns creed. Liberation comes from engagement in society and then a process of destruction, and is a key to the psychological nature of the gothic in Australian cinema.
Around this time, Jim Sharman (of The Rocky Horror Picture Show fame) made The Night, The Prowler, a superb example of Australian Gothic written by our own Nobel prize winner Patrick White. It's a brilliant film that was inappropriately dismissed by the critics as pretentious, and was therefore never given proper analytical examination. Felicity is a psychological stranger in the wealthy 1960s inner Sydney suburbs, constantly at odds with her environment and her hyper-realised conservative mother. Her mental deterioration after she is sexually assaulted firmly places her outside of the society her mother wants her to dominate, as she becomes a prowler herself, gradually taken over by the psychological and societal forces that wealthy society is engaged in a perpetual war against. The film uses flashbacks and other disjointed narrative devices to concentrate the feeling of unease but it is the performances of Ruth Cracknell and Kerry Walker, both obviously physically 'wrong' for their roles that brings home the perfect marriage between image as farce and unpleasant truth as an ignored surface tension.
This strain between the ugly and the ordinary is singular and exclusive to Australian Gothic films and the way they have of building the remarkable on the unremarkable. While traditional gothic novels and films emphasise the supernatural, Australian Gothic is not concerned with these themes in the obvious sense, rather emphasizing the terror of the familiar and the ordinary, which is a distinctly under-examined and under-utilized visual and narrative theme.. Where Czech films like The Ear (1970) evoke an eerie relationship with the home because of an externalized oppressive force listening in (communism), Australian cinema emphasizes the everyday nature of white culture as the gothic monster threatening to destabilize, in films like The Plumber (1979) where a very personal environment becomes unfamiliar and dangerous because it is so familiar.
More contemporary films that fall under this example of the Australian gothic are The Well (Samantha Lang 1997), Broken Highway (Laurie McInnes 1994) Bad Boy Bubby (Rolf de Heer 1994) and Dogwatch (Laurie McInnes 1999). Of these films, only Bad Boy Bubby was available for viewing in researching this article, despite my reading leading me to believe the others films are better examples of the Australian Gothic aesthetic. Dogwatch didn't even achieve theatrical release. Hopefully over time, "The Internet" (perhaps a new kind of gothic monster) will facilitate the freedom to view these fantastic Australian films, without the cringe-dominated distribution gatekeepers (controlled by our own refusal to spend money going to see these films) preventing us, so that a proper examination of this under-evaluated style of filmmaking can be further examined. If ever there was a clarion call in Australian arts, it should be to get over our fear of the pretentious, grow up and thoroughly examine our work for what it is – a unique and powerful contribution to the global creative voice.

Little fishing lines in your knee
If you take your finger nail and rub across either the femur or the tibia on the medial side of your knee cap you may feel a twang as your nail flicks across what feels like fishing lines. These are likely to be branches of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve. Now that is a mouthful – and did you know that the saphenous nerve is the longest nerve in the body. These little nerves may well be responsible for a range of problems such as medial knee pain and swelling, post arthroscopy pain and fat pad problems. Check out the picture of them – there are usually two branches, and see if you can give them a twang. Next time you see me ask me to get on your nerves!
Is the brain too trendy?
These days the brain is trendy to research, who would want to focus on the knee when there is a brain to explore? It's sexy to link yourself to a gadget that peers into the workings of the brain and even the word 'neuromatrix' has a Keanu Reeves feel about it. It's all good stuff in our view but it may be at the expense of clinical consideration of the body. We are serious here about the reciprocal interactions between brain and the rest of the body.
One of our guiding philosophies at NOI is that the pain mechanism has a physicality. What this means is that pathophysiology is nearly always linked to movement. For example, in a pain state where nociception contributes, say a good knee sprain, the clinical findings, assessment and treatment are linked to movement. In pain where there is contribution from a peripheral nerve, the clinical findings are often linked to movement of the nerve. Even in centrally generated pain, the meninges, neural and glial cells still have a physicality, i.e. they can move and stretch and this may well be a necessary feature for neural health. But let's take another look at the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IBSN).
The IBSN – A very slidey little nerve?
Think what happens when you squat – the saphenous branches really move like worms in the skin fascia and soft tissue as we move. If your knee is extended the nerves run 45 degrees across the knee joint but when the knee is flexed it will be parallel to the joint line and it could glide a centimetre (Tifford, Spero et al. 2000). I occasionally marvel at its physical abilities when I squat (doesn't everyone!). It is worth remembering that the nerve still has to function electrically and chemically despite this extraordinary movement and worth reflecting on the possible role of this nerve in people with painful squatting and/or kneeling.
Image from Butler, D.S., The Sensitive Nervous System, Noigroup Publications, 2000
Problems with the IBSN
Knee surgery seems to be the biggest challenge for this little nerve. Meniscal surgery used to regularly 'wipe out' the nerve. Of course, it is all done arthroscopically these days but 25 years ago, up to 44% of people reported discomfort in the IBSN zone as late as 6 months post-surgery (Mumenthaler and Schliack 1991).
Most researchers agree that surgery such as total knee replacements, the insertion of arthroscopy portals and incisions for cruciate surgery place the nerve at risk with the incidence of sensory changes in the distribution of the IBSN reported as "common" – between 25 and 70%. Of course, this may be inevitable and it often resolves but some do go on to neuropathic pain states which may be inconvenient (problems squatting) or very painful such as CRPS. There is a good summary in Tifford et al (Tifford, Spero et al. 2000) for those who want to read further.
Adding some pain sciences
Involvement of the IBSN may be more common than we realise. It should be considered a possible contributor to any anteromedial knee pain. This may make us look afresh at patella fat pad problems or patella tendinopathy – could they be neurogenically inflamed by the nerve injury (antidromic firing causing a substance P initiated mast cell degranulation, bleeding and immune reaction in the fat pad)?
And of course some patients with knee problems will have brain changes in the representational meaning of the knee (Woolf 2011) and it is likely that as the brain tries to rearrange its notion of body that further immune based swelling and nerve sensitivity is possible. This may well be minimised if patients are told prior to surgery that they can expect some sensory changes and that it is likely to go.
Checking it out
It's rare that fancy electrodiagnosis will be needed. Just do a sensory examination, touch the nerve to see if there is any difference in sensitivity compared to the other side. Palpate it in knee flexion and extension. Local tissue snags and thickening may well benefit from some soft tissue work and simply identifying and explaining the problem for patients may dethreaten the situation enough to calm it right down. Maybe some knee taping could unload the tissues around a discharging area of nerve.
So in summary
Let's not forget the body, and remember that even minor nerves can cause heaps of trouble. Get your fingers off the keyboard and go twanging.
Send in your best clinical story involving the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve and the winner will get a NOI Neurodynamics DVD and handbook.
Neurodynamics and the Neuromatrix conference
At NOI 2012 we will have sessions on neurodynamics, although there is not as much research as there is on the more trendy brain. One of the sessions will be a lunchtime display where you can watch movies of nerves sliding and have someone ultrasound your own nerves – what a lovely way to review your anatomy and come to grips with how much even the small nerves glide.

As human beings, we all have unlimited potential to make an impact on the world around us. Each of us has one giving heart. One may seem like a small number but when we're all counted together, there's nothing we can't do. Our One Giving Heart campaign will spark the community of Giving Hearts to join together on Giving Hearts Day in a show of overwhelming generosity.
Tri-City Storm Soccer Club is dedicated not only to it's existing membership but to the communities we serve. Our mission is to bring soccer to as many people as possible. Last year we were able to provide many scholarships for families who could not otherwise afford our programs, only because of the support of generous donors. This includes scholarships for our Recreational, Select, Academy and Camp programs. Without these donations, TC Storm would not be able to help these children play the sport they love and stay involved in healthy activities.
When you give on Giving Hearts Day, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar, thanks to generous sponsors. That means that for every single dollar you donate, two dollars is actually received by the club!
Giving Hearts are donors and more. Giving Hearts volunteer. Giving Hearts join. Giving Hearts make impact.
Giving Hearts count. Especially when they beat together.
For 10 years, Giving Hearts Day has made a profound impact in North Dakota and western Minnesota. We owe that to all of these Giving Hearts. Every person is vital to our success. Together we're building the most generous region on the planet.
Please consider a donation to Tri-City Storm Soccer on Giving Hearts Day, February 8th, 2018. Click on the donate link to join all the other Giving Hearts supporting us or on the Giving Hearts banner to sign up for an emailed reminder on February 8th. We are truly grateful for all of the love and support from our members and the community.

"We went for a viewing during its opening week and fell in love with the home there and then – particularly the open-plan kitchen and living areas. The area itself is quite desirable and we were really keen to move there as our family and friends are close by – the Help to Buy scheme really went a long way in making this a reality for us. We did have a look around some nearby developments before making a final decision, but the high quality and specification of Countryside's homes was apparent."

North Seymour Island was lifted from the ocean floor by a seismic
event, and its origins as a seabed give the
island its low, flat profile. Cliffs only
a few meters high form the shoreline, where
swallow-tailed gulls sit perched in ledges.
A tiny forest of silver-grey Palo Santo trees
stand just above the landing, usually without
leaves, waiting for the rain to bring them
into bloom.
This island is teaming with life! You might
have to give way to a passing sea lion or
marine iguana; blue-footed booby nests sit
beside the trail where mating pairs perform
their courtship dance. Further along, the
rocky shore displays white sand, and large
flocks of pelicans mass for a dive-bomb feeding
frenzy, rendering a tableau for us from ages
long past. The trail turns inland to reveal
the largest nesting site in the Galapagos
of the "magnificent frigate bird."
These huge, dark acrobats have two-meter
wingspans, and males, with puffed up scarlet
throat sacks, sit precariously perched in
low bushes to watch over their equally large

I am alive. Just busy keeping busy.

August 2009 – From Her Notebook
February 7, 2012 at 12:40 pm (Added by Brad, Dogs, family, tina)
Tags: fitzroy, Kite, memories, river, Tina, wren
Last night I was checking out an image of a Kite (the feathered kind) on my big Sisters wall on Facebook. It reminded me of how birds always seemed to gravitate towards Tina. I remember her taking a photo of a Willy Wagtail one day in Rocky. She was sitting on the ground with her legs stretched out in front of her when a Wagtail decided to perch on her boot. I still have the pic somewhere. He let her take a couple of pics, had a little chatter, then flew back to where I'd been digging in the garden, to chase a few more bugs.
I was also reminded of a few pages in a notebook that I found while going through our stuff a couple months ago. Back in August 2009, we were staying at certain spots along the Fitzroy River near Rockhampton. Tina had started to write a journal of sorts & this is what She wrote over a few days. Anything in brackets are my additions for clarity:
Mon 10-08-09
We moved yesterday, about 14km from town along Bowlin Rd. But that road is a 4WD track, so chewed up by blokes with their big mud tyres that it's a 45 minute trip. There is another way to get here, along Port Curtis Road and out to the river, but it is a bit further and takes nearly as long. I don't think we'll be able to camp here for long. It takes too long & too much diesel to come all this way (every day). We'll spend this week looking for somewhere else a bit closer to town I think.
We had a very pretty sight to wake up to this morn. Looking out over the water, the fog hid the opposite bank up around the bend. As Brad said, "It looks like we're on a lake." The other bank and the mountains in the distance behind looked like a big island in the centre.
It's raining! For the first time in ages. It's not going to last long though. The clouds came over & I had plenty of time to make sure everything was covered. I saw it coming over the mountain, and it was just rolling in lazily. It's stoped now. I can see blue sky again, but there's still some rain somewhere between here and the mts.
The crows are flying around again after making a big deal of roosting just before it hit. So maybe they know it's already over.
The rain barely pocked the ground. I can see tiny wet splotches where the raindrops landed, but there's still more dry ground than wet. My fire is still alight. It's still raining, but it's more like mist. The rain on the mountains looks like it's heading towards town, and the band that came through here I can see retreating Westwards.
I was going to open the back & sit on the tailgate to watch it go, but as I opened the door a scud came through. It's gone again now but I think I'll just sit here in the nice dry car & have rest,, in case another one comes through.
There's a pair of finches in the trees next to the car. No, they're tiny little Honeyeaters. They're flitting through the trees., one of them performing little aerobatic manoeuvres as he goes. When he lands, he flips upside down and hangs from the branch to eat from the little upside down flowers.
When we came up here yesterday we kept seeing a pair of Whistling Kites circling our car. We were wondering if they were our mates from the last campsite (8km away). When we got here & were checking the place out, the kites kept us in view, circling down close to the car several times. Now, I know that these types of bird are very common in this area, but that's not a very normal behaviour for them. Usually they'll fly quite high, & there's only one bird I know who comes so close…and more recently his mate (at the previous camp, Tina had gained the trust of a pair of kites. They would perch in the ironbarks quite close to the car).
I know that it's not likely to be the same pair, but it'd be cool if it was. This morning though, while I was listening, his call sounded different. It could be because he's in a new territory, but I doubt it. I might allow myself to fool myself though. I told Brad yesterday, "You realise that if they're the same pair we'll have to name them Gryphonn & Phoenix". I kind of like that. So from now on that will be their names…whether they're the same pair or not 🙂 (yep, She drew a smiley face).
The Wrens are in the grass, jumping from stalk to stalk as they check me out. The female was trying to attract my attention this morning, but I've only just spotted the male now. He's beautifully decked out in his finest Black, his little Red vest shining as he puffs out his chest. His full breeding colours and his wifes behaviour this morning suggests they may have set up home somewhere nearby. I'll have to have a look so we don't disturb them.
The coolest thing just happened. I took Jack (our dog) for a walk along the river. I was hoping to see some evidence of crabs amongst the mangroves, so that we would have some idea of where to drop the (crab) pot tonight, but I soon forgot about the crabs. I was looking down among the mangrove roots & saw a round, white object floating in the water, trapped. A frisbee! Bargain! "You score Jack",I told Him. After I found a suitably long stick to retrieve it without wetting my boots, we took the frisbee up to the wide grassy flat just up from our camp. This is the cool part! I threw the frisbee a couple of times & I heard the kite calling. I looked up & he was just there above me, about 4 metres up. He just sort of hung there on the wind, adjusting his wings slightly now and then. His mate was flying lazy circles, much higher up. "Hello Gryphonn," I said. "Want to play?" I held the frisbee up to show him & he looked at it. Then, when I threw it, he flew above Jack as he ran, then turned and came back when he did! I was spun out! So I did it again…and so did the bird. And he kept doing it, never diving on it or anything, just flying low above Jack … around 3 metres or so, racing him to the frisbee. He did it eight times – I counted. Pity Jack got tired. It was so cool! I'm sure he was playing. I even apologised for not having anything for him to eat. I told him to come back tomorrow & I'll have somthing. I hope he does.

Of course this is long! That's why you could make coffee while the page loaded 😉
I was trying to think of a catchy title, but all the ideas I had were a bit cliché, or just plain weird. For example, 'Visions of the Tropics', or 'My Eyefood'. Then I digresssed and this post became somewhat long and emotional.
Anyway, I'm sitting at Walker Bay beach in the car. I've got the pig cooking a fish and vegetable broth. The dogs are under the car, resting and chewing on bones after a run on the beach. It's around 4pm.
A lone seabird flies North over a steel grey ocean. An approaching early Summer storm flashes and rumbles an ominous greeting. Sol has retreated behind rain filled clouds. The rain has started. Just a gentle drizzle, but although the temperature has cooled slightly, the humidity is wicked.
The pig protects the fire from the rain,so my fish and vegetable broth still simmers gently, aromas of reef fish, sweet potato, pumpkin and herbs waft into the car.
The sea has flattened. Perfectly formed small waves are rolling onto the shore. The lightning charged clouds have headed North West and the sun is almost breaking through.
As the sun sets, the wind and the seas calm further. It's 6:40pm, but still light. The last rays of the sun are splashing pastel oranges and pinks on the clouds. The ocean is a mix of pinks and greys with shimmers of silver.
One in the morning and the clouds have cleared. The moon throws a sheen on a calm sea.
Dawn. Dead still.
The Sunbirds are serenading their mates. A lonely Cricket calls before daytime takes over.
A school of baitfish leap from the water, chased by some mystery pelagic looking for a feed.
This place is beautiful. I realise now though, that it makes me sad. I knew it as our home, but now it's just another beach. I can't keep away though. Too many memories, and that irrational thought that just maybe, I might wake and that horrible nightmare has ended, and she is here again.
In the morning (that's Tuesday 13 December) I took Jack and Floyd for a long walk up the beach. I went for a swim in the shallows & tossed a stick for Jack. Floyd ran amok as usual. He loves playing with Jack & I on the beach. The Smithfield Cattle dog shows in him. He crouches low and eyes up his target, then starts to stalk and suddenly races toward his quarry! He doesn't stop either. For a full two hours he ran backwards and forwards and up and down the beach, chasing wayward leaves, or a crab that was caught by surprise. He's learning the stick thing too.
As we headed back to the camp, I was thinking how I hadn't seen an eagle since I got back here early November. When we were both here, eagles would greet us wherever we went. It used to happen down South too. However, since Her funeral I hadn't seen one. As I walked, I looked up from looking for shells and not 20 metres in front of us was an eagle on the beach harrassing a crab. It took flight and landed a little further down the beach and watched us. This time it waited until we were less than 10 metres away before it tok flight again and landed in a beach she-oak. There it stayed and watched as we continued down the beach. I saw it again, late this afternoon, cruising South over the camp to somewhere unknown.
I don't know if I mentioned it in a previous post, but when I first came back here after Tinas funeral, I discovered that our Sunbird friends had nested at our old camp/home site.
I cooked up a hearty bean and vegetable soup this afternoon. I've actually been eating food almost regularly this past two days. Healthy food even. In town I was forgetting to eat, sometimes for a couple of days. I need to focus on my health more, so I don't turn into an old man too early 😉
After an emotional day (up and down like a yo-yo as usual), it's 09:11pm (21:11) and I'm watching the most stunning lightning show. I just saw a freighter get struck in the channel 9 kilometres out to sea.
The wet season is nearly upon us now. Thunderstorms are common any time of day. Sudden driving rain momentarily cooling us a breeze and some rain, but in between storms the air becomes thick and still. Like a Swedish sauna. Crocodile free creeks are talked about in longing terms. An hours drive to a waterfall is well worth it this time of year. Air conditioners work overtime as locals escape the humidity and the sandflies that take over when the breeze drops.
10:50pm. (Tuesday) this lightning show is getting even more impressive. I think the Archer Point lighthouse just got struck. Three big strikes made water or vessels out on the ocean and right now I would nearly give my left leg for a good dslr! I've got a tripod, so I'm nearly set. 🙂 The storms have been coming from the South West and look like they'll go all night. I haven't had much rain here, but I heard on the radio that Cooktown airport has had over 45mm today. The airport is about 20km inland from here. It looks like Cooktown itself may have copped a fair bit too.
Update 11:05pm. The most active part of this storm (that's on land) is heading directly towards me. The wind has picked up significantly (it's blowing). I was kind of hoping for a lightning strike on the beach, but considering how exposed this big hunk of metal is…I'm parked 20 metres off the beach next to a she-oak and not in our old protected site…I wonder what might happen ;).
Ah well, I'll know within the hour. I've been watching the mountains to the South disappear in the downpour when the lightning makes the sky like daylight. The bulk of the rain is just coming over the hills on the Southern end of the bay. I'm roughly 5km from there. As the gusts increase, the cuttlefish bone I put on the roof earlier rocks. It sounds like a bird running on the roof 🙂 .
11:20pm: I took the currlebone off the roof. The lightning is close enough now that I am avoiding contact with any metal on the car. Normally I would move under cover, but it's too late to pack stuff up. I'll just enjoy the show 🙂
It's 11:40pm, and this storm is just teasing me. The wind has dropped and there is a gentle breeze. The lightning is mainly moving of shore to the North. It's still an excellent show though.
01:30am Wednesday 14 December
The show has moved North, so it is sleep for me.
Wednesday 11:40am
The Sou' Easter has kicked in again with 20 knot winds. The sky is clear, with some cloud forming out West. This morning was dead calm and hot. It was over 30C at 9 this morning and the March/Marsh flies & sandflies were rank. Jack, Floyd and I escaped to the water to cool down a bit. The sea was still and clear, so I swam out a bit but Floyd followed me so I went back to the shallows. He gets all panicky and tries to climb on my head the little bugger 🙂 . After our walk and swim, I sharpened my knives, machete & axe, and now I'm tossing up on another swim or a nanna nap…
…and the nanna nap won.
I went for a swim after my nap,then collected some firewood for an early dinner. I got the fire going and prepared some noodles *and* rice. The pantry supplies are shrinking (roll on Friday) and I don't have enough water left to waste on damper, so it's very basic tonight. As I was waiting on the noodles,I listened to the news on the radio. A couple of lads got stung by irikanji jellyfish today down near Cairns. Looks like ocean swimming is off the list for now. For those who don't know, Irikanji are a small, about the size of the end of your little finger or a large pea. They also have long trailing tentacles which pack a wallop. The initial sting is barely noticeable,but around 15 minutes later the venom lets you know! Initial treatment is to douse the sting trails in vinegar, and if stung, a visit to the hospital is generally required. Yes, Irikanji stings can be fatal.
So, I reckon my next escape from town will be down near the Little Annan crossing. No stingers, no sharks and no crocs.
I have added a few cloudscapes that entertained me on Wednesday arvo. The sun went mad with the light paint hey?
A friend popped down about 6:30 tonight. He's heading South for Christmas in the next couple of days. I would jump a lift, but I have things I need to do in town, and a dear friend is leaving soon and I may not see her for a while. I have learnt more of the treasure we call family and friends over the past four months, and I care for this person more than I thought. Maybe because I have seen the beauty inside her heart. I also think that my headspace has contributed to these feelings, so I'm not trusting my feelings too much at the moment,which confuses me even more! Anyway, Maddy has scored a job with a tour company out at Uluru! It's official now so I can say it here 😉
Her start date hasn't been confirmed yet as far as I know,but it will be early new year she thinks.
Christmas in Rocky or Burrum Heads is looking doubtful at the moment because I can't/won't leave the dogs behind this time.
Besides, I am paying back some debts this week which will leave me pretty broke for the fortnight. I think between Christmas and New Year will be more realistic for me budget wise.
Christmas doesn't feel good this year for me, but I'm going to miss my kids though 😦 .
8pm: Another brilliant lightning show off the coast tonight. The freighters are copping it in the channel again.
You know how I wrote about me feeling that this is now just another beach? Well, I retract that. This beach is so much more than that. This was our home because we thought it was a beautiful place. It still is, and it always will be 'our' home. It's taken three days to let it all soak back into my soul and it feels good.
8:20pm: Well that was a surprise. I've been watching the storm out over the ocean and a real nice lightning storm has snuck up behind me. Very slow and menacing 🙂 One close strike just lit up the beach and dunes,and the wind has changed direction. I've put the lid on the fire pig and put my dry wood under the car. This is right over me. Barely a breeze, but super impressive lightning and thunder 🙂 . It's dead quiet except for the waves and ominous rumblings in the sky…
…the humidity has just shot through the roof. Thunder rumbles distantly from that storm in the ocean, challenging the one above me to a contest of electrical brilliance. So far,my storm has stayed silent, no doubt building up something impressive.
My storm responds with three, then four strikes, and follows up with two more a minute later.
The sea is very calm, as is the air. Surprising really. With this much activity, I expected big rain and a lot of wind. But then,I'm used to Southern Summer storms. These pre-monsoon things are like a warning. But sometines they do dump a deluge. Official figures for Cooktown were 47mm at the airport yesterday. It's also a time to be very,very wary of crocodiles. This sort of weather is the mating trigger. Males and females get very aggressive and territorial this time of year. No time to be creeping around river banks and swamps.
It's nearly 9pm and my storm is firing at about a strike every 5 seconds or so on average. They're close enough that I can feel the thunder 🙂
It is getting more intense as it heads over the coast and out to sea. Now the breeze is picking up, easing the oppressive humidity. The ocean is still gentle, caressing rather than slapping the sand as the small waves roll down the beach.
My storm just roared. The thunder rolled out to sea for over thirty seconds!
My storm has stretched out over the sea in much the same position as those clouds in the south facing pics below. It's reached out to envelop the small storm and has been celebrating its success with a huge flash along the coast just south of me.
In the distance I can hear wind blowing through the she-oaks, getting closer. The sound of heavy rain on the water maybe?
After a short lull,the light show has re-intensified, the sea is keeping up its steady, gentle rythmn on the beach.
My storm has continued out across the ocean and our reef, all the while showing off its electrical energy. The clouds are breaking here on the coast, and stars are beginning to show. The Southern Cross should rise soon,as will the moon. Clouds have blocked the moon nearly every night since the lunar eclipse.
How do I describe this moon when my camera can't?
A blood red half moon, with a few thin slivers of cloud slicing through it, looking like Jupiter.
I wish I could show you the view I have. The Moon has gone orange and is casting a golden shimmer over an almost glasslike sea.
A Dolphin shaped cloud is now leaping across the moons face.
At around 11:00pm, four friends turned up with an esky full of beer and JB bourbons. The consensus was that seeing it was my last night out here for a while, they should help me enjoy it! 🙂 Well, the night was long! We had to build a few smudges around the camp to keep the mozzies at bay due to it being a very gentle Westerly breeze, which brings the biteys out of the bush.
As the night wore on it became very calm, just after dawn, the sea 'glassed out'. On parts of the horizon, the glass sea merged seamlessly with the sky. Photos below.
A few of us went for a swim. It was low tide, so the water was only waste deep fifty metres out. Plus, the water was so still and clear that nothing suspect could be missed. We just lay in the water and enjoyed the start of a beautiful day 🙂 . One of the girls was watching us from the beach and said that it looked like we were floating above the water due to the glass out. Also a testament to how clear the water was, because she was standing at least 50 metres away from us. Stunning stuff 🙂
The weather began to blow from the South East around 11 in the morning. I chose to err on the side of caution and stay one more night. I did imbibe quite a bit last night 😉 and don't need or want a DUI conviction. Besides, it's quieter out here and easier to sleep.
Well, that's three/four days of my life on the Interwebz once again. If you got this far without getting too bored, I thank you.
It's just after 10pm on Thursday night (15 December) and I'm waiting for the moonrise once again. Tomorrow will be a busy day with paperwork to fill out and stuff. Thanks again for reading 🙂
I will only post a couple of pics here. My next post will be all photos from the three days 🙂 .

Dammit! I should have taken more photos. My weekend has been bloody great!
After our Friday at the bowls club, Maddy had to work & Jazz had an appointment, but we took time out for a drink at the Sovereign, as you do in the tropics. After Maddy & Jazz left, I hung at the pub with Marie & downed a few pints of Guinness. At around four, Katrina, owner/manager of the Hillcrest accommodation house, called & arranged to pick me up to have a look at the place I'll be caretaking. I'll post photos when I move in next week. Suffice to say, it's beautiful!
Later on Friday night, we did silly things at home, then wandered up to the Top Pub to watch the band. 'The Barefoot Belles' were playing and as the crowd warmed up, the place just rocked! We poured ourselves home about 3am, then woke at 9 and started getting organised to head to the Lions Den Hotel to see Bill Chambers, The Hillbilly Goats and The Roadtrippers play on Saturday night.
McGee and I headed out about 3pm & set up a camp out the back of the Lions Den, down near the creek. Later in the arvo Maddy rocked up, then Benny, and later, after he'd finished the pool comp, Dragon scored a lift out.
We all had a most excellent night! There would have been easily a hundred and fifty people turned up. At one stage Maddy & I were jigging around in the rain out the front of the pub under the giant mango trees to some excellent roots & bluegrass, courtesy of The Hillbilly Goats.
Later on The Roadtrippers & Bill Chambers rocked the night away. Oh, and someone got a chook stuck on their head 🙂
Sometime around 3, we headed down to the creek and sat around a small campfire. Then we went swimming. The water was flowing and was absolutely beautiful.
We all watched a glorious sunrise, then some of us crashed until about 1pm. Poor Maddy had to work around 4, so we all hugged and said ciao for now as she headed back to Cooktown.
I found the frisbee and we spun that around for an hour. Jack the dog was completely stuffed after an hour of running around. So stuffed that he didn't want to go for another swim. Floyd wasn't much better 🙂
I met a bunch of good people over the weekend and will definitely be spending more time at the Lion's Den.
We had planned to head home Sunday arvo, but one thing led to another and we ended up having dinner at the Den,a few games of pool and stayed another night.
Back to Home – Walker Bay

I went back home on Monday afternoon and stayed for the night.
Yesterday (the 20th) marked 31 days since my rock, my baby, my inspiration, my lover, and my best friend became one of the many who lost their life to a potentially curable brain cancer. She was a sister, a niece, a grandmother, an auntie, a friend, a mother, and a 'stepmum' to many. She touched the hearts of, and inspired scores of people.
A lot of you may not know, but on the night of her funeral, a whole bunch of people went to the wharf in Cooktown to fare her well. I love these people.
I talked with Tina through the night when I went home to Walker Bay. I told her how much I love her, miss her and wish so much that I could hold her one more time. I talked about many things. I also cried. A lot.
I also talked about a friend.
Besides my trip to Laura driving the bus, I had been somewhat reclusive. To the point where I think I've watched 20 or more DVDs that I haven't seen previously. Now, my dear friend Dragon has tried to entice me to the pub more than once to get me out of the house. I did go up once. But I don't do pubs with blokes easily. Too much testosterone for me. I prefer female company. I always have. Most of my younger years were spent with my mum and 2 sisters. Dad worked away most of the time. There were other issues that only a few people know that makes me feel more comfortable around women than men. Or more trusting? It's deep.
Anyway, this friend. She has unknowingly helped me get out of the house. Certain factors have led to her not coming to the lair. While she was coming around I was enjoying talking with her. She's one of my back waxing friends. Anyway, I've been getting out ever since the back wax, and have been spending some time out with her. No, not like that, like mates. But, she (sorry, won't say her name) has shown me something special. She just knows that to be there is all it takes. I would still be in the house, surrounded by four walls & not here at the beach if not for her.
No. She isn't here. It's just me and the dogs.
What I wanted to write was, 'M', thankyou for being a friend. You have a beautiful soul. As I said before, your smile and your company lifts me.
But nothing suss :). She is my mate!
Of course, If I was 20 years younger and circumstances were different, I'd chase her all over town until she had me charged with stalking 😉
Seriously though, I hope she realises how important her friendship is to me.
20 Days

Tags: Floyd
(9-11-2011) Twenty days and I haven't done much. Friends took me out on Saturday night, but I've barely left the house other than to buy beer or rent DVDs.
One thing I did do is look through her art.
I'll take some photos and post them below.
Most of you know that Floyd our pup got run over by a Jeep Cherokee on Sunday. He was sleeping under the car when it was moved. We're guessing his front legs and chest got run over. I was asleep when it happened. Dragon had to blow air into his lungs to reinflate them. For the first 36 hours it was touch and go. Floyd couldn't lie down without help and his chest was that sore that we couldn't pick him up. After 48 hours he started to improve a bit. By Wednesday he was well enough that I could carry him. The vet was in town so I took him across the road for a check up. The vet checked him over and recommended an x-ray as he was concerned about a diaphragmatic hernia. Apparently it is common in these type of injuries. Anyway, I left the vet $70 poorer, but Floyd is vaccinated and wormed. Actually, I'm not poorer. My mate who ran him over insisted on paying for any expenses. It's now Thursday (22 days?) and Floyd has his pep back, but he is still sore in the belly. Hopefully he hasn't got a hernia because I can't afford to take him to Mossman or Cairns, let alone pay for x-rays etc as well. I'm not going to burden my friend with potentially thousands in vet bills either.
What have I been doing besides losing sleep? Oh, that's because Dragon and I took it in shifts to stay awake with Floyd for four days. Well, mainly i've been watching DVDs and cooking food. I have cut back to about 3 Sparkling Ales a day which is good. My sleep patterns are all over the shop too. I slept between 2pm and 5pm today. I keep making grand plans to go outside and see people, or tidy up the car, but I just can't get motivated & I refuse to climb out of my comfort zone at the moment. I am acutely aware of how fragile my emotions are and I just can't see friends I haven't visited as yet. Especially those I used to work with. Sometimes I wonder if the next time I fall apart, will I be able to get back up.
I can see the signs of reactive depression emerging already; insomnia, then when you do sleep you don't want to get out of bed when you wake, no interest in thing that I would normally find fun, and no motivation to do fuck all.
I know it's happening and I'll keep it under control without chemical big pharma anti-depressants.
One of my daughters told me, when I was in Rockhampton, that she felt like she was just waiting for mum to turn up. She just couldn't allow herself to deal with her not coming back. I catch myself sometimes. I'll think of something and for a split second will remember to tell my baby about it. That hurts.
I didn't take those pics of her art. Next time.

I am absolutely almost certain that I may have found the answer to all our problems in the church! At least I have found the following men who have so clarified the problem that if we could get them all in one room at the same time, we might do something appropriate to solve it.
The first man is one who was trained to be a debater. But by long and arduous self-examination, which he did by examining carefully the writings of other great men, he discovered that debating is wrong. He is now willing to sign the affirmative of the following proposition which he will defend with his life or honor (whichever one goes first), if necessary: "The scriptures teach, and any logical person must admit, that all debating is sinful, pernicious, and unnecessary, and that all who engage in such have committed the unpardonable sin of splitting the church."
The second man must have served as the moderator for the first, and will go down in history (for that is the only way to go) as the one who framed the concise wording of that proposition. His latest outstanding article dealt with logic. The gist of it was something like this: "Logic is unnecessary in understanding the Bible for the following reasons:
1. Major premise: The Bible does not use the term.
2. Minor premise: Simple minded men like me cannot use it properly.
2a. Minor premise No. 2: God will save all simple-minded persons.
3. Conclusion: Therefore logic is not only unnecessary, but also illogical.
That marvelous and momentous masterpiece was historic in that it showed clearly for the first time the logical advisability (if not the absolute necessity) of two minor premises, for even a person with no native logical ability at all should be able to see that if one minor premise is good, two should be twice as good!
The third one is apparently the one who instigated the whole matter. It seems that while he was out fishing with the first two, he suddenly announced, "Brethren, I have discovered that the greatest issue facing the church is that we all are too concerned with issues. The way to solve all these issues that divide us, such as the division between the "one-cup" and the "one-cup-no-handle" brethren, the instrumental music question, the idolatry problem, the snuff dipping question and all other similar issues is to disregard all these trivial issues and stop debating about them. The only way we can have unity is to quit being divided! So, if we will just concentrate all our attention on this greatest of all issues, and get on with the business of saving souls, refusing to debate or discuss any issue, all our problems would cease."
The next day as man number three was playing golf with man number 4 he realized how right he was when the man said, "The thing that really turned me away from preaching to golf and fishing where a man can get his ducks all in a row is all the ungodly, loveless, hateful, cruel, judgmental, name-calling of all these hypocritical, self-righteous, legalistic, power-hungry rascals, who fill their hate sheets full of vituperation, innuendo and slander. What we need so desperately is to understand the grace of God, and to rise above this negative speaking and writing, and to have a spirit of open minded willingness to examine all sides of every issue without talking or writing about it. So I am going to quit reading all that negative trash and put first things first."
The fifth man had also quit preaching and taken up law and owned the golf course and country club where he was trying to encourage his fallen comrades by playing golf with them and helping them to look up. He said, "I am in total agreement with everything everybody has said about anything. There is only one other thing I think that needs to be done. If these ungodly editors, and the legalistic, liberal, conservative preachers who write for them could be identified and isolated without saying anything that could be understood or misunderstood and we could get all these issues out in the open and clarified without making an issue of it, I might go back to preaching."
You may have met these five men. I do not know that more than three of them are ever in the same room at the same time, but if we can ever have a lecture program or workshop and get them all there at once, you may have a suggestion as to what should be done, at least about that problem.

We are not alone travelling the High Pamirs. Each day we pass one or two cyclists tracing the same route. Tonight we shared a home stay with a couple cycling from South Africa to Kyoto. Yesterday a French couple on a recumbent tandem
With the altitude they can "only" make 50km a day so they are camping out by the road between the settlements.
This is proper adventure and we feel a little ashamed of our BMWs and pre-booked hotels.

Rupodama! began in issue 32 of Weekly Shonen Magazine by author Yuki Okada and artist Shinpei Funazu.
Rupodama! consists of short comedic chapters.
This will most likely be a mini-series that will not appeal to many readers.
Chotto Morishimasta had a similar vibe, so it is possible that this new series will take its place at the end of each issue.
The first chapter can be read here

Great South Run 2015 for VHL!
Gerard Day
Gez Day (that's me) and Chris Hicks (him) are running the Great South Run to raise funds for VHL Ireland/UK.... in Monkey outfits!
Raising money for
VHL UK/Ireland
Total raised
Donations accepted until 25-01-2016
Donations closed
We've decided to run for a charity which supports a little known condition, Von Hipple Lindau syndrome (VHL) which is a genetic disorder affecting a tumour suppression gene. A sufferer can have tumours to any of the following: the retina, kidneys, pancreas, brain etc.
In his early 20s my brother, Jon, passed out at the top of the stairs at home, tumbling to the bottom. He was finally diagnosed with VHL. Jon has had bouts of brain and kidney surgery and is now without kidneys.
Some time later, a blood test was established that identified our older sister, Gillian, as having VHL. I was fortunate enough to be clear. Sadly, Gill passed away in her 30s due to complications.
Since becoming aware of VHL, we made the link with my Mum's early death in her early 40s, which was simply put down to cancer at the time.Jon is still giving VHL the kicking it deserves, however, his son has also been found to have VHL.
Event details
Morrison's Great South Run
The Great South Run is a fast 10 mile road race that runs through Portsmouth and Southsea, taking in the Historic Dockyard and other landmarks.Chris talked me into running last year, but conveniently broke his leg in a bad football tackle, leaving me to run without company... poor me! Happily, I gained a personal best of 1 hour 18 minutes and 42 seconds.... yay me!So, rather than going for a personal best again, Chris and I are going to run in Monkey onesies. This will be the first time that either of us have run such an event in fancy dress, so wish us luck!Thanks so much for taking the time to look at our page. Hopefully you can spare a donation: If you can, please give Gift Aid! Go to [url=http://www.vhl-uk-ireland.org/]http://www.vhl-uk-ireland.org/[/url] for details on VHL.

Skoda claims to focus on electric and plug-in hybrid platforms and to incorporate them into every car on offer. The first one to roll out will be the Superb plug-in hybrid with the final product's release is set in 2019. In addition to manufacturing Skoda Electric Cars, the Mlada Boleslav plant will also manufacture parts for plug-in hybrid systems that will power certain vehicles from the Volkswagen group. The Superb plug-in hybrid will roll off the Kvasiny plant production line and will be the first plug-in hybrid from the automaker.
"Skoda's future will be electric," says CEO Bernhard Maier. "By 2025, we plan to offer five purely electrically powered models in various segments. We are pleased that the first all-electric Skoda will be built in the Czech Republic. This decision underlines the Group's confidence in the Skoda workforce. This is an important step for the future of the Skoda brand and the Czech Republic as an automotive location."
Other key areas to improve efficiency, Skoda will include digitizing products and processes and the same has already started in India. Skoda is also developing a low-cost platform based on the MQB A0 specifically for India and other developing markets. Volkswagen launched the new Polo globally but is shying away to introduce it in India as the new hatchback is based on the company's MQB platform and the same push the manufacturing cost of the vehicle upwards. The new Polo, Vento, Rapid will be based on the platform being developed by Skoda in India and will allow the group to price their products competitively.
Skoda has not confirmed any plans to launch its electric or plug-in hybrid models in India as of now. The company claims to be researching regarding the same and when it sees a rise in development and acceptance of EVs in India, it will step in. The Indian Government fails to provide incentives to auto manufacturers selling EVs in India and the FAME scheme, that provided a subsidy for the owner of an EV was also recalled last year, increasing the prices of electric cars suddenly and affecting the sales.

The Cosmos is the centre of the universe, an area which has been long since abandoned. A collection of empty stars swept away from The Core, into nothing, forever. Stars within The Cosmos are often treasured for their rare minerals and materials. The Ravens have attempted to take back this sector of the universe, but hopelessly failed.
Notable EventsEdit
In 3066, the planets were thriving, full of life. However, a natural disaster caused by Comet Starbreezer resulted in these planets getting knocked out of orbit, which left the planet in an unsustainable environment.
The survivors began to rebuild the community, and the planets were restored. However, years later, signals stopped being transmitted from these planets, and searches have come back negative. It is unknown were the survivors are currently situated, it is said they were brought down by radiation poisoning.
The current ownership of this sector is unknown, likely that it's been completely abandoned and is to be stripped of these materials. The Reapers have tried to push-in, but they disappear when nearing the vicinity of the area.
