Filmed in 1960 and starring William Holden and Nancy Kwan, the story (based on the 1957 book by Richard Mason) tells us about Robert Lomax, an American Architect, who has thrown it all in and moved to HK to pursue a living as a painter. He falls in love with a local prostitute who frequents the hotel he has dossed down in.
According to reports, the HK locations had to be shot twice. Originally filmed with France Nuyen in the title role, off-screen drama saw her replaced by Kwan well into shooting. As a result the production team had to return to HK and re-film all the scenes with Kwan.
Been sitting on this one for a while so figured I would make a start. More to follow...
The film starts with Lomax arriving at the docks (Ocean Terminal) and walking from the dock towards the Star Ferry terminal in TST.
On the way he passes a loading derrick and you can see the train track on the ground which was the extension of the railway from the KCR terminus at TST.
In the photo above we can see the metal gates through which the track ran. To the right of the gate is the small building with a sign saying "Customs Office" and to the right of that the gateway to the Hongkong Ferry.
Once through the gateway we see Lomax walking towards the ferry terminal
with the (soon to be turned into a plaza) Bus terminus in the background as well as the single-storied Star House.
Next we enter the ferry terminal. I'm not sure if the following shot is in a studio or actually in the terminal, so am hoping someone can confirm one way or another.
And we have a panning shot of a girl looking through the window as the ferry comes into dock.
The final shot involves some dialog between Lomax and Wong. Like other films of this era, this would have been a studio scene with the background projected onto a screen behind the actors. However, you still get a nice view of the Island in the background.
Next HK side...
The film continues with the Star ferry ("Radiant Star" in case you were wondering - I believe this ferry along with the other 50/60's era boats were replaced by the current floating stock in 1966) arriving at the Central star ferry pier.
We then get a nice shot of the pier building from the front.
Followed by another shot a bit further along.
After disembarking from the Star Ferry on the Island, our intrepid hero wanders across Connaught Road and heads to a policeman to ask directions to Wanchai.
On the way we see several sights including a 1960 view of the harbour front.
Please feel free to start naming any buildings in the background and I can add them as a place on the main article above.
We also see the front facade of Queens Buildings with the famous Cooks sign, as well as some interesting 1960s road lights.
Then Lomax walks past some rickshaws parked on what appears to be the central reservation (it looks as though that is where the camera was put for the filming) and we get some snippets of Princes Building, The Chartered Bank (as it was back then) and the HSBC HQ.
After finding out how to get to Wanchai, Lomax heads there and finds the Nam Kok Hotel (I believe it was supposedly based on the Luk Kwok Hotel in the book?). Coincidentally it is also the hotel at which Suzie Wong plies her trade.
Of course, film being film and the illusion of Wanchai was created using two very separate locations. The first being the area around Man Mo Temple on Hollywood Rd and Ladder Street which served as the location of the hotel. Secondly, the film crew upped sticks and also filmed over in Yau Ma Tei next to temple street to recreate another part of the area.
The above shot is just prior to the scene moving to Hollywood Rd. Actually I have no idea if this was in the vicinity. [edit: Thomas has been able to confirm this was in fact Centre St in Sai Ying Pun, and in fact HKMan provides us with a modern comparison here: http://gwulo.com/node/5391 ]
Next we see the hotel. Actually even today the location is very similar despite the original building being replaced. Personally I've never seen it so busy.
Here is a link to HKMan's take on the scene: http://gwulo.com/node/5300
At this point in the film, Lomax sees Wong step onto a rickshaw and get pulled away. The scene cuts to Yau Ma Tei where he sees the rickshaw disappearing into the crowds.
Again, HKMan provides us with a modern day comparison: http://gwulo.com/node/5299
Once settled into the Hotel, Lomax heads to the roof and takes in the view and unpolluted air.
Sorry about the quality but you can still spot some details in these pictures.
Nothing stands out on this first picture too much apart from the unmistakeable rooftops of shop houses and the blue funnel of the ship. I have no idea if this was filmed in the same location on Hollywood Rd, but perhaps the next shot will be assist in identifying it.
On this shot we can see a dome to the left of Holden's legs, in fact it looks like a double dome as there seems to be another on the far left. I'm not too familar with these buildings but maybe this will be instantly recognisable by someone else. The roads in the distance, perpendicular to the harbour front could possibly be Cleverly St/Hillier St?.
We also see the scene behind the roof top. However, we mustn't assume it was filmed at the same location.
Either way there is a rather modern looking (remember this was 1960) tower block in the background as well as an astounding lack of mountains. Perhaps this is a more westerly view? Also you should notice the church in the background - this to me looks like Hop Yat Church on Caine Rd. If it is then this confirms the westerly view as Hop Yat faces east. I suspect that this last shot is actually a studio based back projection with the reconstructed railings - this would be the only way (in 1960 at least) to recreate the scene so they could film Holden directly from the front.
Actually, if that is Hop Yat Church, then the angle seems correct for this background scene to have been shot in the vicinity of the Hollywood Rd/Ladder Street intersection.
Next, a trip to the bank...
Lomax isn't doing so well with his freelance painting, so he decides to make a trip to the bank to try and get a loan until he can start selling his artwork.
So he leaves the hotel and jumps on a rickshaw on Ladder St. Plenty of hustle and bustle including a retro 7-UP sign.
The rickshaw driver is obviously mixing his 7UP with some stronger stuff because he turns left onto Hollywood Rd, which of course is the wrong direction for the bank. Maybe Lomax's Cantonese skills aren't quite up to the job? Once again the quality of the snap lets me down here because there are lots of local drink adverts which are too blurred to make out.
Finally we arrive at the bank, Lomax is no doubt a bit lighter in the pocket after being taken the long way. Here we see him on Queens Road right outside the Chartered Bank. A scene not too far from the current view today. In the background we can see the Law Courts as well as the previous HSBC building and just in the background, although too oblique a view to be of any use, is the Old Bank of China building. The steps to the right lead to the front doors of the Chartered Bank.
The final external shot shows the front doors in their full glory, complete with brass plaque on the wall.
I've posted this one before, but here it is again because the scene is just after the bank scene and I think was intended to add a bit of local colour - in this case...red :)
Lomax is relaxing in the hotel at night and looks down to the buskers on the steps of the temple.
An international film set in HK wouldn't be worth the celluloid it was filmed on unless it featured Aberdeen Harbour at some point or another. Suzie Wong is no different and the harbour is featured as the two main parts spend some time together on a day off (such is the nature of their respective freelance occupations).
The following scenes are in sequential order and show off the harbour quite well. I'm not so familiar with the harbour but I suspect some artistic license has been used in terms of the actual locations as the characters journey around the place.
It looks as though the shoot was split over more than one session because the shots move from misty and grey in one to bright and sunny in the next.
The shot above looks as though it has just managed to capture the Aberdeen Seminary on the small hill to the right of William Holden?
The sea palace. I believe Thomas has already mentioned that this was towed to Australia?
Their final destination is actually the Tai Pak. I believe it was also a favourite haunt of William Holden's in real life.
Finally they board the Tai Pak. Supposedly the same restaurant that still sits in the harbour today.
Some more info here:
The next part of the film has Lomax being visited by the daughter of the bank manager (the one he went to ask for a loan from). She's interested in his artwork but also quite interested in him too. The scene shows her driving her rather flashy white two-seater down Square St and onto Ladder St.
On film we can see the old style road signs that identify the roads.
Lots of locals "breaking the fourth wall" in these scenes. Also look closely and you will see a couple of policeman on the corner. I wonder if they were there by chance or whether they were part of the crowd control.
Later on we see another shot on the hotel roof as Lomax paints Suzie's portrait. Lots more to see in the background this time as the angle is slightly different to the earlier rooftop scenes.
Suzie keeps disappearing off on her own and doesn't want to tell Lomax where she is going, so one day he does a sneaky beaky and follows her.
We see some great shots of the stairway on Ladder Street including the old balustrades.
But then the location seems to change to (and I am just making an uneductaed guess here) the area around Braemar Hill. The reason I say this is because in the second shot below you can see what looks to be the white pagoda of Tiger Balm Gardens.
So it looks as though the shanty town that Suzie is heading into was on the northern slopes of Braemar Hill. Suzie's secret? She has a small baby but doesn't want Lomax to know.
Once Suzie's secret is out, and Lomax isn't put off by it, everything is wonderful and so they spend a day together with baby somewhere on the coast before returning to the hotel.
Actually, I have no idea where this was filmed but it looks as though it could be pretty much anywhere along the coast. My best guess would be somewhere in Port Shelter.
The day finishes back outside the Tin Hau Temple in Yau Ma Tei (remember the film makers want you to believe this is in the vicinity of the hotel)
We see a bit more of the surrounding area in the next part of the film. Suzie has gone missing and Lomax tries to find her.
Here is another shot of the red pillar box next to man Mo Temple. In fear of sounding like a complete anorak (my reputation is already in tatters after the incident with the Aberdeen Harbour map), note the hexagonal top of the old fire hydrant. I've seen one of these along Nathan Road in Yau ma Tei quite recently. I guess they haven't quite managed to change them all yet.
Some more shots of Square St/Ladder St as well. Here is another version of the shot below, provided by HKMan on FLICKR: http://gwulo.com/node/5390
Well, they have a bit of a bust up and Suzie disappers and Lomax spends a frantic few days searching high and low for her, looking increasingly dishevelled as the time wears on.
First we see him running across Johnston Rd in wanchai in the pouring rain.
Actually, our old friend HKMan on FLICKR did a fine jog identifying this location and has done his usual now/then comparison. Looks to me as though that electrical box is still in-situ: http://gwulo.com/node/5388
Next we see a wide shot of the harbour. Centre of screen looks like Statue Sq and surrounding buildings. Does anyone know what the red-coloured building on the left is?
Then we see Lomax wandering next to the waterfront with a "Far Eastern Motors Ltd" behind him. Does anyone know where this is. I think someone may have done a now/then shot of this particular scene, but I can't remember where I have seen it.
He also goes looking along the bar strips and in particular down the road shown below. Vanessa has confirmed that the Magpie Bar was at 65 Lockhart Road, Wanchai. So it was indeed a real place.
Well, all good things come to an end and we finish off with a shot of the 1960's version of Ferry Street in Yau Ma Tei. It does actually look as though there used to be a temple here.
HKMan has provided us with another now/then so you can see for yourself how much it has changed: http://gwulo.com/node/5392
It looks as though it was filmed near where Ferry Street intersects with Kansu St.
Hi there,
I wonder if the island in the background is the Lamma Island. If so, the location of the scene migjt be somewhere around the then Telegraph Bay.
Best Regards,
I think you are right. That is Lamma Island in the background.
Thomas, does that mean the spit of land at the left is where Bel-Air on the Peak now sits? Phil
Hi there,
I believe so. I remember seeing another photo of the same hill shot from another location in Pokfulam.
Best Regards,
Click onto the FCC Magazine:
Wing Lee St is also given a mention.
I think Tops bar is still there - on Lockhardt road or somewhere there - between empire hotel and Luk kwok hotel
Hongkong looks so different in the film! reminds me of when I first visited it. If someone had told me at that time that it would become so modern and organised, I don't think I would have believed it!
Since then, I have returned almost every 4 months, to find something or the other changed.

Tough Enough
Ben Roethlisberger will never have to worry about proving his toughness again. Entering Sunday with broken bone in his right foot, Roethlisberger suffered a broken nose on the first series of the game, but stayed and led the Steelers to a 13-10 win over division rival Baltimore to take the lead in the AFC North division. It was Roethlisberger's sixth straight win over the Ravens as their starting QB. Looking back, its hard to remember another QB who battled similar physical adversity, while leading his team to victory. Donovan McNabb comes to mind; when he threw four TD passes versus the Arizona Cardinals with a broken leg for a big win back in 2002. How about former Kansas City Chiefs QB Steve DeBerg playing with a rod in the pinkie finger of his throwing hand, and leading the Chiefs to 11 wins during the 1990 season. I find it remarkable that Roethlisberger was able to stay in the game Sunday with a broken nose. Anyone that has ever suffered a broken nose will tell you that your vision becomes completely distorted because you keep tearing up. For Roethlisberger to stay in the game and focus downfield at the various defensive looks of Baltimore is simply miraculous. When QB's play hurt, it goes a long way in terms of earning their confidence. After being suspended for the first four games of the season, many wondered whether or not Roethlisberger's teammates would accept him back as their leader. After Sunday's gutsy performance, it's hard to imagine anyone doubting their QB's willingness to suffer in order to win. And it couldn't have come in a bigger game or at a better time for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rediscovering Their Swagger
It's always easy to say "woulda, coulda, shoulda". Where would the Dallas Cowboys be right now had Jason Garrett been head coach at the beginning of this season? My belief is that they would be at least 8-4, hovering at or near the top of the NFC East division. At 4-8, the Cowboys will not be playing in the post-season this year, but "America's Team" has found a resurgence since Garrett took over a month ago, going 3-1 with him as head coach. None of this surprises me. I was a teammate of Garrett's in New York, and it was easy to see that he had what it takes to be successful as a head coach. "J.G." is an extremely cerebral person, and has an incredible knowledge of the game. Because he played 12 years in the NFL (mostly as a backup to Troy Aikman on 2 Super Bowl winning Cowboys teams), the Cowboys players are forced to respect him. I think the biggest adjustment that Garrett has made during his short time as head coach in Dallas, is holding all of his players accountable. He doesn't care which players have played in Pro Bowls, or how many players were first round draft picks. He shows no favoritism, and expects great effort from everyone in the locker room. Jason Garrett has delivered a wonderful message to his team in the past month: stacking good days on top of one another. This team has been able to build on it's positive experiences in the last month, and grow along with them. It started with an emotional win in New York versus the Giants, then came an impressive win vs Detroit, the Cowboys first win at home all season. The Cowboys then came within a field goal of beating the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, but were able to rebound for an emotional win in overtime on the road in Indianapolis this past weekend. The Cowboys have rediscovered their swagger with Jason Garrett as head coach, and because of his immediate success, many in Dallas are left wondering what could have been.
Bring On The BCS National Championship
The BCS National Championship game is set. The No. 1 Auburn Tigers will square off versus the No. 2 Oregon Ducks in Glendale, AZ on January 10, and what a matchup this promises to be. Both teams are undefeated, and both have explosive offenses, led by Heisman Trophy finalists Cam Newton of Auburn and LeMichael James of Oregon. Auburn was easily the most resilient team this season, as they trailed in eight of their 13 wins this year, on their way to winning six games versus teams ranked in the Top 25 of the final BCS standings. Oregon, meanwhile, is a team that never left any doubt. The Ducks play at the fastest tempo on offense in the country and because of it; they average 49 points per game. There are many similarities when comparing both teams, offensively speaking. Both teams play up tempo, but love running the football, and both have multiple playmakers that touch the football. I think the Tigers do a better job of stretching the field vertically, as QB Cam Newton is currently the most efficient passer in the nation and has accounted for 49 touchdowns this season (that's more that 86 other FBS teams). Oregon, meanwhile, has tremendous speed on offense and do a better job spreading the field horizontally with their east-west running game. They have two running backs in LeMichael James and Kenjon Barner, both members of the Oregon Ducks track team, as well as many others who can make defenders miss in space and take the rock to the house. An SEC team has won the national championship a record four straight times, and the Auburn Tigers will be looking to make it five in a row come January 10. Can't wait!
How Did The Bengals Fall For It?
At a crucial time of their game Sunday, the New Orleans Saints were able to draw the Cincinnati Bengals offside in order to extend a late drive on their way to a go ahead touchdown. How did the Saints do it? The better question is: how did the Bengals actually fall for it? The key to any situation when you are trying to draw the defense offside on fourth down before burning a timeout is to make everything look as if it is going to be a real play. The offense should huddle closer to the line of scrimmage, and sprint out of the huddle to the line of scrimmage to get set up quickly. The QB must be very loud with his cadence and very abrupt, as he is trying to force a defender to flinch in order to get the free five yards. Often times, you'll see offenses shift and motion before the snap, trying to trick the defense into thinking that the play has already begun, tempting the defence to fire off from the line of scrimmage. You very rarely ever see these tactics work, especially in the NFL, because defences practice against these plays each and every week. During the game, when these situations arise, coaches are yelling onto the field, warning the defence to "watch the ball"! Linebackers and safeties are yelling at the defensive line to "hold their water" because the offense is obviously trying to trick them! On Sunday, the Bengals couldn't help themselves, and it cost them the game.

I'd be curious what others thought of his writing style, and consistencies among stories that might show up. Does anyone see him maturing as an author as one reads through many of his works? Does anyone want to share a favorite book of his and what makes it so?
American Gods is my favorite of his novels, and I think it's his best novel. The whole premise of various gods dwelling in America, competing for the American psyche, it was just brilliant. I wasn't really familiar with Norse mythology, and I tend to go on research binges sometimes, so it was neat to learn a bit about the mythology behind Shadow and his family.
Shadow's story continues in Gaiman's short story, Monarch of the Glen. It's in the Tor fantasy anthology Legends II, and also Fragile Things.
Check out Smoke and Mirrors. It's a collection of his short stories, and they're just excellent.
Finished reading the Graveyard Book a little while ago. I love his creeping, malicious villains. I would have liked more of the under world and Ms. Lupescu.
Apparently the Graveyard Book has been optioned for a movie, to be directed by the guy who did the Crying Game , Interview With the Vampire and Michael Collins.
Curious to know what you mean by consistencies among stories that might show up. Are you saying he has themes that consistently show up in different stories?
Someone moved my effing cheese.
I will add the others to my reading list.
Someone moved my effing cheese.
He's read many of his audio books which adds an authenic and creepy quality to them. I've listened to Coraline, Stardust, and The Neil Gaiman Audio Collection.
I also give Blueberry Girl to everyone I know who has a baby girl. The prose feels so lyrical.
I loved American Gods and love the various themes/threads of mythology that turn up in a lot of his work..... and I loved Coraline (the book, still haven't seen the movie) it was so creepy and captivating!
i discovered him by randomly picking up an issue of sandman and i think i've read all of them now.
i've also read neverwhere and american gods, which was so awesome that i can't wait to read more of his books.
you guys have inspired my next library trip.
Someone moved my effing cheese.
I, too, LOVE Blueberry girl and it's my new go-to gift for parents of girls.
American Gods and Neverwhere are probably my favs.
If you liked Good Omens, then I suggest you give Terry Pratchett, the co-author, a shot (if you haven't already). Very funny and also great insights into the workings of society and the human mind.
This thread is more than a year old.
Kanna, is your picture Gram-Gram from Avatar?
Neil Gaiman yesterday announced that he and his wife the amazing, spectacular Amanda Effing Palmer, are touring the west coast of the the US this fall, and they'll actually be coming to northern California!!! Poetry and short story readings and Amanda will sing, etc. We will be going to see them, no doubt.

Religion writer and blogger Dan Gilgoff snagged some quotes from Ralph Reed on the topic of the building tea party-driven split within the Republican party:
Energized in part by their experience in New York, conservative faith-based activists are now poised to support challengers over establishment Republicans in perhaps a dozen or more GOP primaries next year, in races stretching from Florida to California. "You're going to see the largest number of competitive Republican primaries since the 1992-to-1994 period," says Reed, the former Christian Coalition chief. "It's a sign of a healthy movement."
But some GOP leaders worry that the growing number of contests between party-backed figures and conservative challengers will create fissures at a time when Republicans are trying to unify and rebuild. That, they fear, could pave the way for more Democratic wins. Last week, the National Republican Congressional Committee called a meeting with activists on the right, including religious conservatives, to discuss the lessons of New York 23.
Clay Cox's campaign letter to House GOP caucus members arrived in the mail. He's a candidate for speaker pro tem. He wants to impose term limits on leadership positions:
I also believe the public deserves politicians committed to service rather than power. I therefore propose, to avoid long entrenched power structures, that we as a caucus adopt rule changes placing limits of four terms by our caucus for the positions of Speaker and Speaker Pro Tem and Majority Leader.
As your Speaker Pro-Tem, I will ensure that we re-commit ourselves to those conservative principles that won us the majority we are entrusted with; real tax reform that eliminates the state income tax and capital gains taxes in favor of a consumption tax system; base line budgeting, and mandatory sunset and review of bureaucracies. In short, we must get out of the people's pockets and get government off of their backs.

I didn't realize the conservative movement made a home for crooks like Ralph Reed. Apparently it wasn't enough for his supporters to know he was doing the bidding of his good buddy Jack Abramoff, a crook of the highest order. Ralph made a lot of money for himself and Abramoff by giving Abramoff's efforts to defeat a competitive Indian casino the cover of Christian values to defeat the tribe's effort to open a competitive casino. But then again when did Ralph Reed ever allow real Christian values get in the way of his personal ambitions.
People who support Ralph Reed and whatever he speaks favorably about need to have their heads examined by a qualified psychiatrist.

Conservative, faith-based Republicans like Jerry Keen love to pander to a populace educated by Nancy Grace. Instead of using research, statistical data, and intelligence to craft effective laws, they rely on media myth and hysteria to create a "sex offender" registry so large that it costs the state millions to keep track of a majority of people, according the the Governor's own Sex Registry Review Board, who are of little or no risk to society. Meanwhile, the real predators are overlooked, because law enforcement doesn't have the resources to keep track of everyone on the list. And all offenders, even the ones who have paid their dues and are of little or no risk, have no place to live, work, can't go to their own children's schools, are harassed, sometimes harmed, etc. Ironically, statistics by the US Justice Department show that over 90% of sexual abuse/child molestation is caused by family members or close friends. The policiticans don't want you to know this, though, because ratcheting up sex offender laws is an easy way to get votes from the undereducated. Way to go, Jerry — keeping Georgia safe with millions of the taxpayers money!

Conservative, faith-based Republicans like Jerry Keen stood by for 2 years and let their conservative, faith-based Republican Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, Glenn Richardson, carry on like an adolescent 19-year old high on testosterone. Question: If by some weird twist of justice , it was ever determined that Glenn and his AGL lobbyist committed acts of sodomy, would Keen want Richardson convicted for that sex crime and be required to register as a sex offender? Hmmmm!

I'd vote for a Tea Party candidate everytime over some RHINO (Republican in name only) or wacko democratic socialist fister party member who loves high taxes, government run healthcare (when they can't even efficently deliver mail), more big government, and still doesn't link the Democrats and Jimmy Carter administrations "Community Reinvestment Acts" (i.e. banks forced to give millions of home loans to people who did not qualify and would never be able to repay loans) as the root cause of the present economic recession and high unemployment.

Ahhh, more moronic drivel from the Right. PLEASE, oh please let the Tea Baggers and their ilk stay in vogue for another couple of years. It'll give the adults more time to fix all of the 'success' that Dubya and Sonny have blessed us with.

I cannot prove this empirically, but I do believe the average tea bagger has the i.q. of the average pro golf score. I do hope however that they succeed in fracturing the repubs. Anything that hurts them, helps the country.

I see what the liberal welfare recipients do all day other than a monthly visit to see who the baby daddy is on Maury. Thanks, your ignorant posts are almost as entertaining. I enjoyed the comment regarding adults in the liberal nut case party. That was clever. I see you've been watching the ugliest man on TV (Rachel Maddow) recently. You wouldn't know what an adult was even if he put cuffs on you and charged you for smoking that pipe.
You all know why there are soooo many whinny liberals posting on here, you see '12 around the corner and know what's already taking place.
Harry is down double digits in one of the most whacko states in the union along with numerous other anti-Americans. Just sit back and keep watching MSNBC and don't worry about what is going on with the "right". Christy Matthews will tell you all you need to know to keep your blind political ideology going.

It is so easy to bash liberals because all your responses are the same. We're smart, you aren't. End of discussion. Have you been to a tea party? I helped organize one and I was very pleased with what I saw. Many/most were regular middle class citizens that were mad as hell at both democrats and republicans. Many were not regular voters but have decided things are so screwed up in Washington that they have to get involved.
I think you see a surge of new voters in 2010. The new voters in 2008 where young people and blacks that turned out for the promise of Obama. In 2010 it will be middle/working class prople that are scared their way of life is about to disappear. You can agrue till the cows come home if their fears are justified or not. But it doesn't change their motivation to kick the "bums" out.
Making fun of them just motivates them more. Let me know if you are still laughing next November.

Retired soldier – Actually go to church with a bunch of tea baggers. Some of them I like personally and we discuss issues in a polite way. However, I totally disagree with them and hope that more dems will come along.
And who said I was a liberal. I did not identify myself as such. Thats what I love about the right – If you do not think exactly like their agenda, you must be a liberal. Can't possibly be a moderate , because the right refuses to acknowledge that group. Turns out we're just too "liberal", whatever that means.
Served in the infantry in Vietnam and I do appreciate your service. Just disagree politically

Have no idea. I'm not in candidate recruitment, I just helped others from my town put on the tea party. My opinion is the greatest impact will be seen in the general election where turn out for the most conservative candidate will be up. I don't think this is the start of a "third party" movement. Most thierd party movements are driven by a strong personality.
December 15th, 2009

We're smart, you aren't.
But you're not smart enough to proofread your own post.
The new voters in 2008 *where* young people and blacks that turned out for the promise of Obama.
That probably should be *were*.
And "agrue"?
BTW, am I the only one that thinks that Tea Baggers is the perfect name
for these kool-aid slurping fools?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL doggone I just pi$$ed in my pants. The GOP has really been shanken up an now are in a frenzy. It'l like seeing a bunch of roaches run and hide when the lights are turned on. Can't see them doing dirty and immoral deeds in the light. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL doggone this is funnnnnny.

3:17 pm
From what i saw of a so-called tea party, the signs were mostly anti-Obama and anti -democrat. So there goes the theory that they are mad at the republicans. And if they are so smart now, why did most of them vote for a president that increased the federal debt by 5.6 trillion dollars and there wasnt a peep said about it. And as far as making fun of those people, there were people with actual signs that said that.
December 15th, 2009
3:26 pm
To anyone who is a republican – Why is it that national surveys in the last year show only 25% of people identifying as repub? Only in the south and a few western states is it different. And to any repub – Why is it that 95% of all minorities do not vote repub? And please do not trot out that stuff about being govt. dependent. The clear answer is the repubs offer nothing to minorities, which is interesting. In a few years, given demographic change, the repubs will not win a national election and many state elections. Want to bet that you will see the repubs at national level change course? And it won't be the course that present day repubs want to see. It will inclusion for a change and not running people out of the party cause they are not conservative enough. Can hardly wait.

Served in the infantry also, post Vietnam and in the first Gulf War. Understand we can agree to disagree, but many underestimate the strength of feelings the tea party folks feel.
If all you got is correcting my typos then you are truly a deep thinker.

If you haven't been to a tea party you don't know except what our biased media want you to know.
December 15th, 2009
3:49 pm
I do not underestimate their feelings. Just fundimentally disagree with rigid agendas. Actually was repub for a long time. They just kept drifting (charging actually) further and further to the right. When they started calling moderates "rhinos", they lost alot of people, including me. When you step back and watch them operate with the list of "you musts", it is very strange. There is real dogma involved that is borderline fascist. Even the Old Gipper said, "If you agree with me only 80% of the time, we can work together". The repubs have forgotten their famous leader's thinking. And while we are at it, don't forget that Ronnie and W. increased govt. spending while in office. And who had the last balanced budget ? That Clinton guy. A democrat. Amazing stuff.

2010 Guigal Cotes du Rhone Red
"One thing you can always expect from a Guigal wine is intense fruit. The 2010 Cotes-du-Rhone, a mostly-syrah wine blended with grenache and a touch of mourvedre, offers assertive dark berry and floral elements and a suave spiciness that gives it uncommon complexity for a wine at this price. Believe it or not, this bottling ages very well, as recent bottles of the 1998(!) have proven to me."

Oh, man. Megan & Liz. What's not to love? They're quirky and effervescent and eminently likable, and they can really sang and their songs are so good, especially this one, "Release You," which takes their natural songwriting precocity and gives it some next-level pop zest courtesy of Max Martin at the helm. (It was my personal song of the summer, frankly.)
They're a little late to the party with this video (since the song dropped a few months ago), and for better or for worse, it's one of these behind-the-scenes-plus-live-concert-footage-B-roll affairs, but you know what? It's Megan & Liz, and it's a video for "Release You." Let's be grateful for all we've been given. And again, if we need striking visuals or Liz serving endless beachy mane realness, there's always the irresistible video for "In the Shadows Tonight." (My song of the fall, obv.)
Watch up top.

Winery of the Week
Whitehall Stands Tall
The Rest of the Story
Entrepreneur Tom Leonardini, owner of the Napa Valley Wine Exchange and a San Francisco businessman, immediately set about upgrading his new purchase. He couldn't upgrade the land, since the vineyard was in the coveted heart of the Napa Valley. So, the first thing he did was hire a winemaker with an impressive pedigree...viticulture and winemaking in college...then working with the legendary Mike Grgich...then winemaker at one of Napa's best, the Grace Family Vineyards. Gary Galleron's first vintage was 1993. He soon was garnering "90" ratings in the press. Here's what James Laube says in California Wine about the subsequent vintages:
Just The Facts
Whitehall Lane Winery
There's no mystery about the origin of the winery's name, since the facility is located at the intersection of Highway 29 and Whitehall Lane. More suprising is the fact that a nearby road has the same name as the winemaker...Galleron. But there's a good reason: Gary grew up playing there because the road is named after the Galleron family.

"Smash" Recap 108: "Welcome To My Level"
Derek explains that this spectacle is "a potential direction for Marilyn." Eileen chimes in that they were afraid they'd resist the idea in the abstract so they decided to put something on for them. Tom and Julia are outraged. Karen apologizes for her part and I feel terrible for her because she's still trapped behind those bedsteads with no avenue of escape.
Katie pulls Eileen outside and reads her for what she did to people she's worked with and who trust her. She accuses Eileen of behaving the way that Jerry would and warns her that she can't let herself turn into Jerry.
Back inside Derek and Tom are getting into it when Eileen intervenes, saying they've made a terrible mistake. It's about to explode again when Ellis materializes from the shadows and suggests everyone dial it back, regroup and meet tomorrow. Eileen and Ellis leave together in her car and butter wouldn't melt in Ivy's mouth as she condescends to Karen that she totally gets why Karen would backstab Tom and Julia the way she did.
Julia leaves and Tom and Derek go for round a hundred and twenty-three in their ongoing feud. Tom complains that he should never have let Derek anywhere near Marilyn and Derek's all "But ya did, Blanche, ya did let me near Marilyn!" Derek accuses Tom of not having what it takes to bring Marilyn to life without him and that Tom is just bitter over "whatever nonsense you think I pulled eleven years ago!"
They go back and forth about the "nonsense" which involves a show they did together back then for which Derek was praised by a particular critic while Tom was panned. Derek bragged about it and went to everyone on Broadway accusing Tom of being unstable and overrated and oh, by the way, that (male) critic was having sex with Derek's father and oh my god this just got awesome.
Derek grabs Tom by the shirt and looks like he's about to slug him, but instead releases him and pats him on the cheek. "Congratulations, Tom. Welcome to my level." Derek explains that the biggest problem with Tom's conception of Marilyn is that it's too nice. He's ignoring her status as a "drug-addicted sexual icon the likes of which the world can't get enough of" in favor of some "gay male fantasy figure." They both say they have no intention of quitting the project.
The next day at Eileen's office Julia's back in her stupid big sunglasses as Eileen states that they will need a star in place of Ivy if the project is going to go forward. As Julia, Tom and Derek leave Tom spots Ellis at a desk and jokingly asks if he's working there now. He confesses that he is and thanks Tom for the opportunity. Quitting not only with no notice but without even saying you're quitting. Stay classy, Ellis. Julia pulls a hilarious stinkface about it.
At City Hall Dev is surprised that weenie-wagger Paul is still employed. Dev's boss Andrew tells Dev that he went to the Chief of Staff with the peen shots but they disappeared. Paul is apparently bullet-proof.
Kate's furnished Eileen's apartment and is leaving for Alaska to count wild salmon. Wait, what?
Ivy meets Tom backstage at Heaven on Earth and breaks it to her that she's being replaced.
Karen cooks Dev the threatened curry.
Ivy sings the opening of "Let Me Be Your Star" to herself in her apartment. Derek drops and evinces actual human compassion and gets laid for his troubles.
Wow, after starting off kind of slow this episode unleashed some pretty huge bombshells. We got the roots of Tom and Derek's feud and the roots of Derek's anti-gay attitude. We got a sweet little scene between John and Tom with finally some non-awkward affection between them. And all of the gay chorines got some screen time too.

WMGs for Discworld / Hogfather. Warning: Potential unmarked spoilers.
Teatime's eye is missing because he cut it out himself.Either he was planning from the beginning to replace it with a magic prosthesis or he was trying to emulate
Young Teatime received a Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model crossbow for Hogswatch and promptly shot his eye out.It is A Hogswatch Story, after all.
The things popping up around UU was because of the High Energy Magic Building.The Belief surplus only had an effect because of the HEM experiments making reality weaker (from the inside, rather than making it thinner like when the things from the Dungeon Dimensions can break through). Otherwise, it would have just made everything else (with the possible exception of Bilious) a little more real, rather than a few things around UU (and one thing where the Hogfather went missing) a lot more real.
Nothing happened to Teatime's eye(s), he was just born that way.Just saying.
Teatime's final intent wasn't to inhume Death...It was to use the destruction of Death to get to Azrael, and truly kill death/Death.
The Little Match Girl died shortly after.Death was cheating with presents by stealing things from other people; but "Hogfather magic" is determined by the monetary bracket that they are in. The Little Match Girl had no money. He CANNOT break the rules here. This is part of the series mythos itself, the only exceptions were the princess in Mort, who Death called in favors from all the gods (Something he couldn't duplicate for Ysabell and Mort in Soul Music), the girl in Reaper Man who Death exchanged his Lifetimer for, and Rincewind. None of these cases apply. There is no justice.
Hex owes his consciousness to this novel's events.
Teatime planned to kill death to take over his job.

Around 30,000 Americans were kept as prisoners of war in and around New York City during the Revolutionary War. Most of these prisoners were held in warehouses, churches, and on ships in nearby harbors. An estimated 18,000 (60%) died as prisoners from 1775 to 1783. Of those, over 10,000 are thought to have perished on prison ships, most notably the Whitby and the Jersey.

Street Crimes Unit made a drug arrest while surveilling the Centerville Plaza on Wednesday after watching a "ride to nowhere" - a typical way to conduct a drug transaction, police said.
Police arrested Christopher Leone, 20, of 20 Jacquline Cr., W. Yarmouth for possession of a class B substance (oxycodone) with intent to distribute, minor possession of alcohol and operating a motor vehicle with an open container.
The Street Crimes Unit watched a female exit her vehicle and get into Leone's PT Cruiser and drive in a circle around the busy parking lot ending back at her car. The female exited Leone's car and got into hers, police said.
Police conducted motor vehicle stops on both cars. They found an open alcoholic beveage in Leone's cup holder and five oxycodone pills in a small plastic baggie. The females told police they were there to buy pills from Leone, the release stated.

Our countdown of the top 10 women behind the men:
No 9: Anastasia Ulikhina (Mikhail Kukushkin).
If Denis Istomin thinks he has a tough balancing act to cope with, spare a thought for Mikhail Kukushkin, a Kazakhstan player who four years ago had the nous, some would say bravery, to hire his girlfriend as his coach. Since they began working together, Anastasia Ulikhina has become Kukushin's wife and her quiet influence has had a positive effect.
"It's helped me to improve my game – I improved by 100 spots in the rankings," Kukushkin said last year. "We have a good relationship and we try to really separate the relationship on the court and outside of the court. The point is to help me to improve my game. Some players need to have a strong coach, who follows him, who will watch and will tell him what to do. But I don't need it. I just need the person who really wants to help, and not because of the money. I need to feel a good relationship between me and the coach."
Like any couple, the pair fight occasionally but rarely in the tennis world, where Ulkihina has helped him with his "strange technique". "Not many people understand this (relationship) or believe it," Kukushkin says. "For me, it's a great relationship. She helps me with everything: with tactics, with tennis, with my technique and also we do a lot of work together on my athletic preparation.
"And I think if you look at my results, it's a good relationship. Of course, she is my wife so she doesn't want to take money from me. She is interested only in my results. And for me it's also important to know that I can believe in my coach, she can believe it and I am pretty happy that it's working."
As a former player, albeit one who never made it big as a senior, Ulikhina knows how much work goes into being a professional. A post-graduate P.E. student, her experience makes their relationship as coach and player work, separate to their life away from tennis. Kukuskhin may have dropped down the rankings in the past year to 156 but he was as high as No 49 last summer, so has the ability to do it again.

I can't really vouch for the other tanking classes but I for one have enjoyed tanking as a warrior in its current format. Why? Because you do have to think on your feet and adapt to the situation as the pull plays out sometimes. Lose and add? Taunt him back. Caster? Heroic Throw or Shield Bash him. It gives the fight more flavor and more challenge which I find enjoyable.
Also I think what people tend to forget is a warrior tank has to rely on the abilities of his teammates to be effective as well. Remember CC? Sheep, Ice traps and all those other CC abilities it seems like hardly anyone uses anymore.
Finally, mark the kill targets people! And DPS follow those targets! Skull and X at the very least. Us warriors can't AoE tank as well so help us help you. Going from one target to the next helps us keep aggro and will make things a lot easier on both you and your tank.
Happy Hunting!
And that's part of the issue. Nobody wants to worry about a kill-order anymore. Everybody wants speed runs, no CC, all AoE, and since 3 out of 4 classes can build AE threat well, marking is frowned upon. Warriors can't front-load AE threat all that well, and explaining to others to hold back for 5 seconds doesn't work.
AE threat is what wins at the moment. VoA: me and a bear, the bear basically tanks all the trash minus one-1. I tried my darndest to get a 2nd mob to stick on me, but the druid had it back in no time flat.
If you look at it, what do groups wipe on? Trash. Yes, it's sad and sorry, but the deaths and all that happen because of trash, not the bosses. Even if we're great on single-boss fights, have actually impressive mobility if/when required, and several "Oh-Sh*t buttons," the overall utility of *all* the other tanking classes doesn't make warriors the "tank of choice".
Heck, it gets worse if we want to tank lower content (non-heroics, BC raids, etc). I don't get rage, I *can't* build threat, because stuff doesn't hit me hard enough. Of course I could carry yet another tanking set (next to my EH, Avoidance, Threat sets) to address that, but why again am I the only class who has to do that?
Don't get me wrong, I like tanking on the warrior when I get a group of decent people who know a bit about mechanics together. But boy, finding those is quite time consuming.
Back to leveling my Pally, just to be able to try it out :)

This poor baby in Orlando needs a forever home. Her last day is Wednesday, January 22. Please, please help me spread the word. Help save her.
Please Reblog, even if you don't live in FL. Someone following you might. She has so little time left. Please tumblr!
I wish I could take him :( please help this little guy find a home!!!Signal boost! Someone save this puppy baby please…
Signal boost!! someone give this sweetheart a home
Many of my followers are from Florida. i know at least 1 of you are looking for a dog!
Hi! Sorry to be a bother again. I hate bringing this stuff up over and over but really this will be the last time in a while this is brought up. I just wanted to say that I put together an Indiegogo project for my surgery.
Insurance stuff finally got sorted and they arent going to cover it. So looks like its out of pocket for me! *cries*
Thought it might be better to put this all on one spot rather than a bunch of garbled txt posts T v T ;;;; sorry about the confusion and please pass this on if you have the time. this means a lot to me and i know everyone is tight on money and i don't want to be an annoying burden- any little bit helps! The great thing about Indiegogo is that even if the goal isnt reached you still get what was raised so it will go along way in me saving up in the long term if this goes well :D Thank you!- even if its only reblogging or passing the word on via other social media.
Thank you everyone! I really mean it. You all have been too kind T A T <333333333333333333333333333333333333
Just one last reminder for all of this T v T thank you EVERYONE who has helped out so far! It all ends tomorrow/ 42 hrs from now.
If you happen to see this after the deadline you an always go to my main tumblr page and on the side bar there is a donate button. THank you everyone again! You're all too kind for me to handle @_____@;;;; working on some osrt of thank you backgrounds for download or something in the free time btwn commissions n work T o T <3
Anti-rape wear. Its almost impervious to knife attacks and tearing/stretching.
The waist and thigh extremities of the garment are cut and tear resistant (the guy in the video cant cut them with industrial scissors) and they cannot be moved more than a few centimetres when locked into place, the forward area in front of the genitals is also reinforced.
Please, for the love of god, even if you cant donate, just spread this idea wherever you can, they need $50,000 to be able to manufacture it and they currently have just over $6,000 with 20 days left.
Go to igg.me/at/AR-Wear to donate and/or view their full info.
I've been reading comments from people saying WE DON'T NEED THIS GIVE US WEAPONS. I'm guessing they aren't from countries where rape of women is exceptionally common, particularly as a terroristic act of war. These garments, if they could be made available there for very little, would be a huge help.
Imgur, meet Wookie. You are her best last hope.
Her abusive ex owner threw a toy out a third story window and she jumped out after it. Now her right leg is paralyzed.
She's not that bright. But she is very loving.
Her foster home can't keep her much longer.
I dog sat her last weekend and she was AWESOME.
Philly area people: Please check out the link at petfinder. She REALLY deserves a good home
holy shit i want this dog i wish i lived in philly ;~;
Sorry. Trying to keep this blog art-pertinent, but now and then there's a thing I can't not reblog.
p-puppy ; - ;
My 2 year old daughter has made accusations of significant abuse and I cannot afford a lawyer to protect her.
This follower has been supportive and loyal through many issues in her own life. She has always shown herself to be an exceptional human being and a great mother.
Her 2 and-a-half year old daughter recently told on her rapist. Now her mom needs to protect her from her molester.
(please like and reblog to save Lily)
i heard about this girl a while back and i had no idea the situation was this bad jfc
they only have 175$ at the moment so if you could spread this and donate even a little bit i'm sure that would help a lot
In A Bind: YOUTH in NEED of Chest Binders
For transgender (affirmed male, female-to-male & genderqueer) youth having a proper chest binder can be a life-saver - both mentally and physically - I know for me it was. Many transgender youth (under 21) lack the support they need from their families and many are not hired for jobs because of gender identity-based discrimination - this makes it impossible for these youth to get the binder they need and deserve. Many trans* youth suffer from gender dysphoria - the intense hatred and discomfort towards their biological bodies - making a chest binder an absolute need and instant prevention from suicide (as many youth cannot afford chest surgery). Giving a binder will boost the confidence of transgender youth in need and allow these youth to better function in society.
This overwhelming urgency for chest binders is a crisis. Not having a chest binder can contribute to the severe depression experienced by many transgender people. The suicide rate for transgender people is estimated to be a shocking 41%. (Source Below)
In A Bind, a non-profit project under TransActive Education & Advocacy has 1,401 youth on their waiting list. Not enough donations are coming in and they were forced to close their waiting list. It's time to raise the money we need and provide youth with chest binders.
Our goal is to provide at least 100 youth with new binders from underworks. Each binder is about $30.00 including shipping. That is $3000.00 needed. Good news! The Frank Cassata Family Foundation will match whatever money is raised during this virtual campaign. If we raise $3,000 that means we have raised $6,000 - that is 200 new binders for youth in need!
Ninety percent of donations received will go to buying binders for disadvantaged youth. The remaining 10% will be used to cover the shipping cost. All binders will be sent to youth on the In a Bind waiting list. In a Bind accepts applicants age 21 and under from all over the United States. There are no rules or qualifications around who applicants are or how they identify. All we ask is that people only apply for a binder if they need one to curb dysphoria (ie, not just for cosplay or performance). For more info, visit inabind.transactivonline.org
Oh that is pretty neat!
I'll I'm asking is to reblog this picture and keep the caption to help my mom's business get out there.
My mom recently got fired from her job, my step-dad moved out and we don't have enough money to keep living where we are. She has a small business where she sells candles, soaps, and soon body spray. (Which smell delicious (is that weird?) by the way)
All I want is for her business to get big and noticed a lot more than it is. This is what she's wanted to do when she was younger, and even today. Make candles, soaps, etc. She loves this. She hated her old job as a banker and she hated retail. I want her to be happy.
So if you could, reblog this picture and keep the caption. If you could, follow her Facebook, Twitter, and/or Etsy. Buying from her Etsy or Website would mean a lot but I'm not asking you too.
If you want any information about the candles or soaps, and soon to be body spray you can ask me here or you can message my mom directly here or you can post on her Facebook page.
hello cool kids!! thank you for taking the time to read up on what i have to offer for cheep (cheep cheep!!) commissions
a compact link to share with your buddies
my 16th birthday is coming up, and i'm not throwing any party for myself..
instead, me and my dad are saving up to add a new companion and friend to my life! months ago, i found a video on the hill mynah bird, a japanese owner holding a delightful conversation with him. after thorough research of the lovely bird, i instantly fell in love with him, not because of his amazing capacity to communicate and memorize commands, but because of the capability of kindness and knowledge this bird has to share with any owner
i have owned birds previously with my nana, we've had parrots, finches, and cockatiels, but i think i want to have my own pet for a long time, and the mynah bird seems to be a wonderful friendly bird that loves to fly and be around people, and it's perfect for me to own and bond with and have for my own
i already began to invest on guides to proper care for these kind of birds and have been working for the bird's supplies, vitamins, and food expenses, i have worked a bit more to begin to learn about these birds
the hill mynah is a difficult bird to find in this country, because they are not allowed to be imported into america from asia, and a handful of breeders around the country have somehow obtained this bird (possibly from the 90's fad of owning such an intelligent creature when they were imported legally/illegally) the bird unfortunately can go from 1,000-1,400$ in expense
raise 1,000$ before march 2014
(((woah only 10$ !!!!!!)))
the commission includes:
+ a simple flat color
+ black outline
+ no background/ white & transparent
SAMPLE 1 (w/o the background, very simple flatcolor)
SAMPLE 2 (transparent, very simple flatcolor)
- i will draw anthros, animals, and i will try to fit in people but not yet!!
- there will be a slot page on my blog and on furaffinity, please check it before you message in interest
- it is /slightly/ possible you might receive another mini-mini doodle, as a thank you for helping me out
- when ordering your commission, you can preview sketch before receiving in full
- upfront payment of 10$, please
- allowing me at least 1 weeks to complete all commissions
- give me oh-so-many references please! the more the better!
- give me a very full description if no reference, and specify what you would like
- nothing nsfw or fetish, if anything, i can only work with mild gore
- these drawings will be done diligently, allow me to experiment with style & design
- i also do not accept any donation, i am working well to get what i want :^)
THANK YOU for reading!!! me and mynah will meet very soon if this works out well <3
guys, i really hate having to ask for help but i need you desperately!
i fell down some stairs and fractured my fibula (ankle/leg) on 6/14. i had to go to the on-campus doctor despite having no insurance, and had to get three visits (will probably need more later), two sets of xrays, medication, a walking cast and crutches, all out of pocket.
the total for all this madness so far is $600… and since i'm unable to get to work right now i don't have it, and i don't have any way of making any income.
the money is due in full on august 15, and if i can't pay it i will have a hold put on my student account that will not allow me to attend my classes, and worse- if this happens my financial aid will be revoked and i will have to leave college, in my senior fricking year.
i've set up a fundraiser at http://youcaring.com/kenbrokeleg, and as it explains there i am looking to do commissions if you're willing to help me out!
to be straight with you guys i have never really done very many commissions- i honestly just don't have a huge online presence and don't get many bites. i know it sounds like a pain in the butt, but i'd like to talk to you if you're interested and work out a rate based on what you want. loosely, i was thinking along these lines:
$25 = digital sketch
$50 = up to 9x12" paper illustration with some colors (pencil), can be mailed to you if you can pitch in for shipping
my illustration work is at kencandraw and transmogrification on deviantart
$75 = graphic design! poster, business card, logo, you name it, just not an entire branding system or set of things ok (we can work out a rate if you do want more)
btw my graphic design tumblr is at kencancomputer.tumblr.com
$100+ = i'll work with you to set up a basic website for whatever you want. you'd have to find the hosting, and this would include limited graphics (we'd work out a price if you do need logos and such), pretty css and some basic cut and paste jquery.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact me if you have questions or want to help me out! ANYTHING HELPS. REALLY. AND I LOVE YOU IN ADVANCE.
Ken is my good friend and her art is rad! She specializes in kickass ladies, please help her out if you can!
This is my dog, named Butter
Today he had a seizure, and I don't know the cause of it, but I need to get him to a vet right away. The thing is, I don't have a dime. Literally no money at all. And apparently if he's ingested something toxic, the chances of him having…
Rape Escape
- Easy and very effective
- Requires nothing but your body
- Includes attack
Very useful to know, pass and share please.
Worth watching
I don't mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyone who follows me reblog this.
I don't think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don't want to talk about it don't ask), and it's… really fucked with my head.
Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away.
So, essentially, I'm really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn't get stuck in the same position I was with no way out.
I mean again I don't want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot
this is very important. please watch this.
If you recall this post I made earlier this week about my grandfather, here is the entire, infuriating story. Only a few hours ago I had decided not to talk about this, but it CANNOT GO UNNOTICED.
Last Wednesday night Emilio was taken to the hospital via ambulance for chest pain. His neighbors called 911 but couldn't tell us where he was taken. It wasn't until Friday that we were made aware of this, and tried contacting MedStar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore about his whereabouts.
According to Harbor Hospital, Emilio was admitted to the hospital at 2:27 PM and released only a half hour later at 3:00pm. So, here it is, Friday evening, and the man isn't at home, he hasn't been seen in days. We call Harbor Hospital several times (3, exactly). Saturday morning, we call the police and file a missing persons report. I recall the police officer returning to his vehicle and making several calls: Harbor Hospital, Mercy Hospital, St. Agnes, the morgue. Yet again, Emilio was nowhere to be found.
Picture: a feeble, 69 year old black man, confused and can barely walk. Speaks English but incredibly hard to understand. Carrying approximately 10 bottles of heavy medication with him and possibly around 500$. Let me also include the fact that he is a Cuban refugee, and not a citizen of the united states.
The missing persons report is filed and the weekend detective is on the case. He sends us the missing persons flyer which I promptly posted on tumblr (its late in the night already). About two hours later, and several phone conversations with the detective, Emilio is found..!
He was at Harbor Hospital.
He was at Harbor Hospital THE ENTIRE TIME.
He was admitted to the hospital at 3:00pm on that Wednesday He was never RELEASED, he was ADMITTED, but apparently, this was too much information for Harbor's computers to handle, or rather, their employees. We are told now that he is in the ICU, with liver and kidney failure, along with a bladder infection. He is in a medically induced coma.
On Monday, my mother makes her way to Harbor Hospital to see him and speak with his doctors. She signs all of the paperwork to have him admitted to Hospice and crosses off my grandmothers name as Emilio's emergency contact and replaces it with her own. This was at approximately 3:30pm on Monday evening.
Nana, my grandmother, had a stroke this passed October. She cannot speak. She cannot walk. She has the understanding of a child. Obviously, she is unfit to be Emilio's emergency contact.
Two days pass and we hear nothing from the hospital. We call again several times on today, Wednesday, and lo and behold, Harbor Hospital cannot find Emilio.
He is not in the ICU, he is not in Hospice. We are told he was transferred rooms, but YET AGAIN, there are no records, he cannot be found. How do you LOSE a PATIENT from the ICU who is in A COMA? Please let me know, Harbor.
10:00pm Wednesday, exactly 29 minutes ago as I type this: Harbor finally calls back.
Emilio passed yesterday, at approximately 7:30pm. My Nana received a call on her cellphone, which is out of service, alerting her of his death. Let me remind you that this woman is completely out of sorts, she cannot answer a phone, NOR DOES SHE HAVE ONE. Now let me remind you once more that Emilio's emergency contact had been CHANGED a day prior to his passing.
So, thank you, MedStar Harbor Hospital, for the complete atrocities you have committed, the complete disrespect you have shown for Emilio, the complete incompetence of your employees, and the complete turmoil you have put my family though, not to mention the agony my grandmother will experience when she finds out. Whoever is reading this, please spread the word, don't let this COMPLETE BULLSHIT go unnoticed. I want people to know what this hospital has done.I want to warn everyone. Please reblog this if you can. What other atrocious things could be happening here?
I'm sorry, Emilio Hernandez Lanusa. You deserved so much better in your final days, your final moments. You were an amazing, strong man. You will be missed and thought of. We will make sure everyone hears your story. Thank you for everything.

inside out affogato
One of the best things about food blogging is the community. People share things on Twitter, +1 stuff over on Google+, and like your Instagrams. It's pretty much a lovely place to write and socialise in. And there's a ton of good people out there. To even further encourage those bonds there's a whole bunch of blogger challenges out there. I'm going for a few this month, and the first of which is Kavey's Bloggers Scream For Ice Cream! I'm entering my inside out affogato. I've entered this challenge before, … Continue Reading ››

Gumbo, a powerful central committee member, told The Zimbabwean that their views were not solicited before the Politburo, the supreme decision making body, decided to get rid of DCCs accused of causing divisions within the party.
He said he had voiced his concern during a meeting with party secretary, Didymus Mutasa, national commissar Webster Shamu and Rugare Gumbo, the party spokesperson, when they visited the Midlands to explain the dissolution of the DCCs.
''I am not against the decision by the Politburo to disband the DCCs, because that decision came from our leader (First Secretary, Robert Mugabe) and what he says is not opposed. What I said is that the wrong method was used.
''People in the structures should have been consulted before a decision was made. Our views were not heard and we first read about it in the newspapers,'' Gumbo said. ''I agree with my colleagues in the party who say we took the wrong route. While the MDC is building DCCs, we are destroying ours.''
He is widely believed to belong to the Emmerson Mnangagwa camp that is fiercely competing with Vice President Joyce Mujuru to take over from Mugabe.
He is an uncle to Rugare, believed to be a member of the Mujuru faction, and admitted to being at variance with his nephew, who he accused of sidelining him in party operations.
''Rugare Gumbo and I differ on operations. For a long time, he has been coming to the province and going straight to the grassroots without informing me. I always tell him that, given my position as a Central Committee member in the province, he is supposed to come to me first, but he never listens to that,'' said the chief whip.
He implied that the dissolution of the DCCs had caused divisions in the party, with those that had lost elections mocking those that had won.
Gumbo's stance has reportedly angered Mutasa and Simon Khaya Moyo, the Zanu PF) chairman, who are said to have summoned the party's Midlands provincial chairman and Governor, Simon Machaya, to explain the rebellious stance.
The DCCs were recently disbanded after an acrimonious Zanu (PF) restructuring exercise of the district structures in preparation for the next general elections.
Mnangagwa's supporters had won most of the posts but there were complaints of candidate impositions and vote buying, resulting in influential members of the party believed to belong to the Mujuru faction calling for the dissolution of the structures.
Some party members who were affected by the disbandment have told The Zimbabwean that they will retaliate, but have not specified the action they intend to take.
