South Beach's Condo studio, one and two bedroom apartments and penthouses are loft-like spaces with unique features and custom detailing created by world-famous design star Marcel Wanders. Adopting a post-minimalist aesthetic, Wanders has designed open living areas to maximize ease, combining a sophisticated color palette of grays, golds, black and white with custom wall-coverings, rugs and furnishings. The TV, desk, iPod station and artwork of a classic hotel room are organized in a large "frame" over one wall. Spaces flow into one another to create an expansive feel, large windows, many with balconies, open to stunning views of the bay and ocean. Kitchen and dining areas of all the condominiums feature walls covered in traditional Dutch Delft tile custom-made with Miami Beach motifs. Bedrooms, with king-size beds, open on to bathrooms with oversized sinks and showers tiled in a mosaic of clouds and sky. Wanders' signature chandeliers, are hung through out including one that doubles as a showerhead.
What a place! Everything was exactly as described, and the host Parham did a fantastic job of accommodating and being helpful! I had never done a homeaway before so initially I was a bit worried but this place on south beach was a delight! the pool party the people and the food made this trip very memorable! a quick weekend getaway! will definitely stay here again! no QUESTION!
Amazing unit in an amazing property. Owner gets back to you within minutes, extremely helpful with any request we had. Property is great, highly recommend considering this unit if you will be in Miami.
We had a great time in Miami for Basel. Host was quick with responses, flexible and the unit was perfect for what we needed. Recommended!
I recently spent 3 days at this unit and it was a very relaxing and quaint location. Great view of the bay from the 11th floor balcony as well as looking down on the pool. Pool has the afternoon sun which is very inviting for November. It is a good walk to Ocean Road the the Atlantic
Ocean / Beach, but I did the 20 minute walk several times and enjoyed the experience. I would stay here again, excellent for a couple or 2.
This place was fantastic! From the ocean views out every window, to the comfort of the apartment this was a wonderful place to call home for the weekend. We had 6 girls for a bachelorette party getaway and all of us felt like there was enough space to be cozy but not in each other's faces at all times. The host was very responsive and super kind in person and over the chats while getting information. Wonderful trip and if I come back to Miami, I will stay here again!
Staying in this apartment was a dream come true, I couldn't have imagined anything better. As soon as I walked in I was in awe of the dazzling view overlooking the pool and sea. The rooms were spacious, clean and impeccably decorated. The location was just perfect, it was a ten minute walk from south beach and on the same street as the apartment was a wholefoods and other brilliant restaurants. Parham was just the icing on the cake, he was so friendly, generous and attended to all our needs instantaneously.
I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants their Miami dreams to become a reality.

About RF Cafe
1996 -
Kirt Blattenberger,
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The Internet was still largely an unknown entity at the time and not much was available in the form of WYSIWYG ...

May 1936 Radio-Craft [Table of Contents]People old and young enjoy waxing nostalgic about and learning some of the history of early electronics. Radio-Craft was published from 1929 through 1953. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged. See all articles from Radio-Craft. |
This is another Radio Service Data Sheet that appeared in the May 1936 edition of Radio-Craft magazine. I post this schematic and functional description of the Philco Models 39 and 39A, 6-Tube Dual-Range Battery Superhet manufacturers' publications for the benefit of hobbyists and archivists who might be searching for such information either in a effort to restore a radio to working condition, or to collect archival information.
(Ranges, 550 to 1,720 kc., 5,500 to 16,000 kc.; class B output; A.V.C.; low battery drain; dynamic speaker.)
Voltages in this set are as follows:
These readings are taken with a high-resistance voltmeter, and all are measured to ground.
The model 39 is operated from a 2-V. storage cell, while the model 39A is operated from a dry "A" battery, and requires the use of a type 6 ballast tube, V7. The socket for V7 is also on the 39 chassis. but is shorted out with a jumper.
The power consumption is 19 ma. from the high-voltage supply, and 670 ma. from the filament supply.
An output meter is needed for alignment and is connected to the plate terminal of V6. Locations of all trimmers are shown in the detail drawing, with the exception of C6, which is located on the underside of the chassis. The I.F. is aligned with the dial of the receiver set at 600, and the lead from the service oscillator connected to the cap of V1. the regular grid-cap connection having been removed. With the service oscillator still set at 460 kc., and the leads connected to the antenna and ground terminals of the receiver. adjust the wavetrap condenser, C5, for minimum response. The alignment frequencies for the broadcast band are 1,500 kc. and 600 kc,
For short-wave trimming, the maker recommends the use of a special, "crystal"-type service oscillator which has a frequency of 3.6 mc. With the wave-band switch turned to the right, and the crystal oscillator connected to the antenna and ground posts of the receiver, the 4th harmonic of the service oscillator should be picked up at about halfway between 14 and 15 mc. on the receiver dial. With the dial at a little more than 7 mc. the 2nd harmonic of the crystal service oscillator will be picked up. and at this point C3 is adjusted for best response. Although an ordinary service oscillator without the crystal feature may be used on the short-wave bands, the results are not so accurate.
A detail of the battery plug is given on the main diagram. It should be noted that the "A" leads do not come out of this plug, but are brought out of the cable separately just above it. This plug is made for connection directly to the special "B" and "C" battery unit, no connection wires being needed.
A special, low-drain pilot lamp is used.

The British Virgin Islands (known as the BVIs) are undoubtedly one of the prettiest holiday destinations in the world, lying to the east of the large island of Puerto Rico. Consisting of over 100 islands in the sparkling blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, many of which are uninhabited, the British Virgin Islands are the perfect luxury holiday destination. Exclusive resorts are scattered across the BVIs, some occupying private islands to ensure complete tranquility and seclusion. The BVIs are widely regarded as a sailor's paradise - there are numerous yacht clubs and yacht charter companies on the islands, so contact Tropic Breeze to discuss your yachting holiday.
Our friendly team of travel specialists has extensive knowledge of the Caribbean islands and has visited each of the hotels that we offer. This enables us to provide expert advice and to tailor make the perfect holiday for you, whether you are looking for a luxurious resort or a boutique gem. Tropic Breeze is a specialist tour operator offering fully bonded and protected holidays with ABTA or ATOL, meaning you can rest assured that your holiday is safe and secure.
The area offers one of the most spectacular cruising grounds in the world and is a mecca for yachtsmen, thanks to reliable trade winds, short easy passages and perfect anchorages. There are numerous yachts available for charter, by the day or by the week, either bareboat (ie without crew) or fully catered and crewed.
Tropic Breeze offers hotel holidays to luxury resorts in the British Virgin Islands, as well as sailing holidays on board the finest yachts in the Caribbean. Guana Island and Peter Island Resort & Spa both occupy private islands, Cooper Island Beach Club shares an island with just a few other houses, while Sugar Mill Hotel is located on one of the larger islands. Sunsail and The Moorings both allow guests to choose between skippered and independent yacht charter. For those who wish to combine a hotel stay with days spent on the water, Bitter End Yacht Club offers shoreside accommodation as well as sailing courses and various excursions.
The British Virgin Islands are full of gastronomic delights - click here to read about our top ten dining experiences in the BVIs.
Diving and snorkelling are superb, with many reefs and cays as well as over 100 recognised dive sites. Most hotels and charter yachts have snorkel equipment available for hire, but if you are keen to make the most of the superb snorkelling, we recommend that you take your own equipment. There are plenty of dive operators, many of which will meet you at your yacht or hotel.
Access to the British Virgin Islands is via Antigua, with onward travel by local airline to Beef Island and speedboat to the relevant island.

Dried herbs and spices don't go bad like other shelf-stable foods, but their flavor doesn't last forever. As a general rule, whole spices (think cinnamon sticks or nutmeg) can last for three to five years, while ground spices and dried leafy herbs lose their savor after one to three years. If a toothsome meal is a high priority, remove old spices from your kitchen once a year, and when you buy new spices, consider marking the date of purchase on the bottom of the jar to make it easier to figure out what to jettison in your next pantry purge.

When Ana de la Reguera showed up at our 15th Anniversary party in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, we asked the stunning Mexican actress what being Latina means to her. "Here in this country, it makes you different and special," said de la Reguera, who was born and raised in Veracruz, Mexico.
The actress added that her Latino heritage is something she wears proudly. "It's like a flag that you bring with you all the time. It's a positive thing and it's something you want to be proud of," she said.

Considering this year's boldly colored balloon-like skirts, flowing fringe dresses, and happy prints, there'd be plenty of fashion for Oscar de la Renta to talk about after his spring show. But, according to WWD, he was focused on the hair. "Every single girl who came to see me had hair that was plastered to her head," he explained. "It was so lacquered it was like cement. I said to them, 'If you have a boyfriend, he wouldn't want to touch your head with hair like that.'"

The other day, I pulled out my autumn needlework pieces and decided to do a little decorating with them in the house. When Bruce and I went to Pennsylvania this summer, we found some wonderful frame stands in an Amish country store, perfect for displaying some of our needlework. Here are just a few of my favorite pieces.
Distance photos just don't do justice to these pieces, so I thought that I would add a few close-up's too.
"Autumn Basket" (Sunflower Samplings) |
"Falling Leaves" (Prarie Grove Peddler) |
"Autumn Leaves" (Elizabeth's Designs) |
Although like every other stitcher, I too am always adding to my "stash" of pieces that I just can't wait to stitch. Although some of these patterns were among some of my older "stash", I had such fun stitching them. After all, with the way the economy affects all of us in our spending now, I am so grateful that I can "shop" in my own closet now for something new to stitch!
By the end of the weekend, I should have "Quaker Faith" finished! It is turning out really nicely, and of course I am an avid Quaker designs stitcher, so I love it! So, I will be posting my finished piece soon, I hope. Then I will be starting some Christmas ornaments. My daughter-in-law, Gwen, put a whole bunch of stitcky notes in my 2009 & 2010 Just Cross Stitch Ornaments issues, noting her favorite ornaments...hint...hint:)

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This is definitely not a 66! Looks to me like a 319w! Wow, Candace I am so glad you didn't see this ad before you sold me the 319W! Geeze, these people, where do they get their prices! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/2690955000.html
Here's a deal!
Well, as long as we're posting the wonderful deals in CL land:
Um...yeah...even with the FW? No.
I have some accessories that came with my little green clone. I know the quilting foot guide, but not sure what the other feet are for. Can you tell me what they are, and what is the best way to clean them up? http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...IMGP2527-1.jpg
There are three bobbins, one is different from the other two. The extra belt is nice. The red box contains most of the 100 size 140 needles that came in it, the little pack has 4 100's in it. Since I sent my gson most of my really heavy leather, I doubt I will use them up, lol. I would be happy to share some of those 140s, if anyone needs some.
I will be sewing some denim and upholstery fabric, and this looks like it is going to be the perfect machine for it....not to mention it is just as cute as can be, lol.
It looks like dried on oil rather than rust - I'd drop them in some denatured alcohol and then dry them with a paper towel if it's oil. If it's rust, I rub them with oil then rub off the rust with some aluminum foil. If it is smoke, use tooth paste but you want to get it all off and then you want them very dry so they don't rust. A drop of oil on the hinge won't hurt. Triflow will also cut through oil.
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first

Ann Menasche's "Leaving the Life"
— Karin Baker
Leaving the Life: Lesbians, Ex-Lesbians and the Heterosexual Imperative, Ann E. Menasche (London: Onlywomen Press, Limited, 1999), $17.99 paperback.
IN THE MID-1980s, when many lesbians Ann Menasche knew were suddenly turning to relationships with men, she set out to find what was behind the phenomenon of the "has-bian." Leaving the Life: Lesbians, Ex-Lesbians and the Heterosexual Imperative was the result.
Menasche wanted to know, were these simply women acting on repressed attraction to men? Others who observed this phenomenon suggested that these were "political" lesbians who had chosen lesbianism in the '70s out of their beliefs, but in the more subdued years of the `80s realized that their true sexuality was not exclusively female-oriented.
Or, as Menasche actually suspected, might these women have been pressured to move toward the mainstream in their sexuality and relationships by the oppression that lesbians, and any women who don't follow the roles prescribed for them, must constantly face?
Menasche sees her study as a continuation of the political thought of Adrienne Rich. A lesbian feminist poet, Rich has received nearly every major literary award (except for one from the Clinton White House that she refused to accept), and has produced close to twenty volumes of poetry and four books of nonfiction in the last half century.
Menasche's work is an exploration of the ideas in Rich's 1980 essay, "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence." Long a mainstay in any basic Women's Studies class, the article highlights the ways that social and economic institutions coerce women toward heterosexuality, such that women's true sexuality cannot be identified. (See Menasche's article, "The Repressive Politics of Compulsory Heterosexuality," November-December 1989, ATC 23.)
Rich's question: How many more women would choose lives with women if we had equal earning power to men, if relationships with women were valued, etc?
Mechanisms of Control
Menasche sets out to "study how the institution of heterosexuality actually limits and controls women's sexual behavior and identity . . . ." As she explains, "by focusing on the lives and stories of the lesbians-who-left . . . I hope to expand our understanding of the myriad ways that heterosexuality is imposed on women: the manner in which . . . three decades after the Stonewall Rebellion, we are not yet free." (10)
Menasche based her study on a questionnaire that was ultimately completed by 147 lesbians and sixty-four former lesbians. Of these, she interviewed twenty-four lesbians and twenty-six "lesbians-who-left," some by phone but most in person. Her discoveries were disturbing, but perhaps not surprising.
Of the reasons given for "leaving the life," "only 28% of the lesbians-who-left gave falling in love with a man or experiencing a compelling heterosexual attraction as even one of their reasons for leaving . . . . And even more rarely did former lesbians state that such attractions were the only reason—4% so indicated." (59)
What did motivate them? Make a list of the ways lesbians experience oppression, and you've probably covered the most common reasons former lesbians gave for getting involved with men. Twenty-four percent "hoped to win approval from family members; 20% "wished to avoid job discrimination"; 48% "wished to fit in better with the heterosexual majority"; 34% cited lack of "role models"; 20% "wanted to be able to express affection publicly."
"Difficulty finding a satisfactory long-term woman lover" was cited by 42%, while 24% "believed heterosexual relationships were more stable, lasting, and emotionally secure." (59-60) The sad truth is most of the women in Menasche's study still preferred relationships with women, but felt compelled by oppressive circumstances to be with men.
The difference between the lesbians-who-left and those who did not was revealing. Certainly most lesbians confront the type of problems mentioned above, from job security to lack of role models and internalized homophobia.
Burdens of Rejection
Menasche's study, at the same time, suggests why some women stayed when others did not. Former lesbians more often faced difficulties that current lesbians did not face.
For example, only 60.4% of the former lesbians reported receiving parental acceptance, compared to 77.6% of the lesbians. More lesbians who were out in their workplace felt accepted there than former lesbians, and lesbians-who-left were more likely to have been harassed on the street.
Former lesbians also reported more internalized sexist and anti-lesbian attitudes. Many more ex-lesbians said "they had felt like a failure when unable to make a relationship with a man work." A greater number of former lesbians agreed with the statement "most lesbians hate men." More lesbians-who-left agreed with the statement "It is a lot easier on children to be raised in a heterosexual family than in a lesbian one."
A picture emerges of the former lesbians as women who are bombarded by negative attitudes and stigma toward lesbians, who are tired of fighting against these, and who believe some of these stereotypes themselves.
Case Studies
The book includes five true stories of lesbians-who-left. "Leslie the Married Lesbian" chose marriage because "it's OK with my father and also the reduced hassle." With women she was always frustrated about not being able to show affection in public, and in any case, relationships with women never seemed to work out (apparently unable to flourish in the typically oppressive environment where she and her partners lived).
Leslie still clung to her lesbian identity, however, because of her overwhelming emotional and sexual preference for women. Although an initial sexual attraction to her husband prompted the relationship and her mother's "ecstatic" response to her involvement probably helped, the sexual attraction is no longer there and the marriage is now "a real struggle for both of us."
"Helen the Heterosexual" spent twelve years as a lesbian and continues to have stronger emotional connections with women than men. Her mother found out about her lesbianism accidentally when Helen hadn't "straightened" up her apartment sufficiently before a visit. Her mother erupted in homophobia, telling her she'd be miserable, everyone will be against her, she's sick and a freak, etc.
Helen struggled against her mother's attitude, but her approval continued to be important to her. Helen believes her relationship of four years failed because she held back emotionally and smoked too much pot. Years later she discovered that when she didn't smoke anymore it became even more difficult to be different.
When she decided she wanted to have children, Helen decided to do it within a heterosexual relationship. "I felt it would be easier in the world . . . being an acknowledged recognized couple . . . to be able to be totally "out," to have a relationship acknowledged and supported and validated in a way that gay relationships are not."
When asked if heterosexual attraction played any role in her decision to leave a lesbian life, Helen said it didn't, she did it for "the baby stuff, the acceptance stuff, and the ease of being in the world."
Partial Acceptance
This book comes at a time when homosexuality sometimes appears to be becoming more socially accepted. People seem more tolerant of queer people than when I was younger. I meet open lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgendered people in many places, not only in my city's queer "ghetto."
We have several out politicians in town, and TV shows with gay characters are no longer unusual. While there is far from complete acceptance, there seems to be some positive movement.
This being the case, why would so many lesbians reconsider their choice? Is the increasing social acceptance of gays mostly acceptance of gay men? This would not be surprising given the double oppression that lesbians face as both queer and female.
Gay men can still have successful careers, the role traditionally assigned to men. The traditional definition of success for a woman—getting a man—is not an option for a lesbian.
Personal Response
As a bisexual woman, I have a very personal reaction to this book. I confess that when I hear of a woman who has rejected a lesbian identity my first assumption is that she is probably coming to terms with her bisexuality, having realized she is also attracted to men.
I know that many bisexuals are channeled into calling themselves lesbian or gay since they are either unaware of the bisexual option, or negative attitudes lead them to avoid it. A woman concluding she is actually bisexual and coming out as such seems like a good thing to me.
I would propose that, along with compulsory heterosexuality, we have social institutions that compel "compulsory `monosexuality'." Most people feel that they need to make a choice—either straight or gay.
I started reading Leaving the Life with the assumption that I would run across passages that the author had interpreted as internalized lesbophobia, but that could just as easily reflect a woman's unexpected realization that she could enjoy relationships with men. However, I quickly realized that the facts and figures do not suggest that.
Perhaps some of Menasche's conclusions could be affected by a predisposition to read lesbophobia into the statements of her respondents. If I said that I am happy in my relationship with a man, and acknowledge that I have it easier than if I were with a woman, would she conclude that I avoided pursuing relationships with women for this reason?
However, nothing in the book implies such a bias. The statistics Menasche cites—72% of the women in her study did not give emotional or sexual attraction to men as even one of the reasons why they sought relationships with men—and the statements she quotes make it clear that the phenomenon of abandoning lesbianism has a lot to do with lesbian oppression.
Most of these women were overwhelmed by the constant struggle necessary to live the life of a lesbian in our society.
Of course this is no surprise. Homophobia is still alive and strong, sexism continues to thrive. Women who try to build lives with other women challenge both these institutions head on. This book is a valuable record of the way oppression operates, the way some struggle against it and the reasons why others succumb.
Menasche ends with an appeal and a vision:
"For women to have our full dignity and humanity, we must have the freedom to love. As long as women's lives are defined and circumscribed by the heterosexual imperative; as long as we need men to survive economically, socially, psychologically; . . . no woman, whatever her sexual identity, can call herself free.
"What would the world be like if women were no longer terrorized into heterosexual relations . . . ? What if, instead, women's passions for other women became as much a part of social life as the air we breathe, recognized and celebrated, equally with heterosexual love, by the entire culture? What if, in such a world, men no longer had an `edge' because of their gender, and were judged solely on their own individual merits? Would they become better friends, better parents, better intimate partners, better people? Would we see an end to male violence? How much more power would women have in our personal lives, and in the larger society?" (217)
In other words, besides the obvious point that fighting for lesbian liberation is good for lesbians, it is essential for all women. Lesbian oppression is one of the means by which women are controlled. But also, as Menasche points out, lesbian liberation benefits men by helping to free them from restrictive traditional male roles. The information Leaving the Life makes available is an important piece of this process of human liberation.

WESTBROOK – Douglas Wallace, a quality control manager at the former S.D. Warren Co. paper mill in Westbrook, died unexpectedly on Saturday. He was 84.
He was remembered by his family this week as a loving husband and father who believed in giving back to the community. He was a volunteer for the Westbrook Fire Department for 22 years and a member of the city's planning board for a decade.
Mr. Wallace, who studied forestry at New York State College at Syracuse, joined the quality control department at S.D. Warren in 1954. His job was to ensure the paper mill produced a high-quality product for its customers.
One of his sons, Douglas Wallace Jr. of Denver, remembered hiking with his father and learning about different types of trees.
"He loved to tell us about the process of cutting down the tree and the various stages of the paper-making process," his son recalled. "It was a great job for him."
He worked for S.D. Warren, now Sappi Fine Paper North America, for 38 years. He retired in 1992.
He and his wife, Greta Wallace, had been married for 54 years. The couple lived in Westbrook, where they raised three children.
The younger Wallace reflected Tuesday on his parents' life together and the love that kept their family so close.
The Wallaces did everything together — from traveling to gardening and home improvement projects. For the past 18 years, they wintered in Englewood, Fla. They also talked about everything, his son noted.
"They had the greatest respect for each other," he said. "They were inseparable."
Mr. Wallace also cultivated strong relationships with his three sons. The younger Wallace thought back to his years playing baseball and hearing his father cheering from the stands.
"He was an athlete growing up. He instilled in us the good things that come from athletics and team activities. He went to every athletic competition for all three of us that he could possibly make," his son said.
Mr. Wallace felt a calling to serve the community, his son said.
"He was also the most humble man I ever met," the younger Wallace said. "He really enjoyed the activities and the people he worked with on those activities. He gained great enjoyment in helping the community wherever he could."

Boy, this story is getting gory.
Lucy suggested I photograph my wound and post it on Facebook. I wonder how many "unfriends" I would get if I did that? I did photograph it and I could post a photo here....shall I?
Nah. It is red and juicy. You get the picture. This morning, more blood in the kitchen after I attempted to walk normally. So it is that I am home with my foot up, missing Finn and Lucy's special presentations at their homeschool Waldorf program. To comfort me, Lucy told me that it was ok, she would just tell the instructor that I didn't love them. She's such a dear.
On the bright side, it means I have all day to just sit around trying not to bleed. Shall I fix my website? Rewrite my artist's statement?
Or perhaps, begin that sweater I have planned and for which I recently purchased this yarn?

At weekends, we post some of our most popular blogs. Tell us your favourites by emailing email@example.com
When I watch films, sometimes I wonder what would happen if a deaf person had to cope with what happens in some of the scenes. Would we survive a zombie attack? Or a horror scene out of Scream?
Here's a few potential scenes… and what I think might happen if I had to deal with each of them.
This is fairly obvious; however, I do think it depends on how deaf you are.
I think I would die almost immediately. I would not be able to hear the zombie until it was almost on top of me.
In films they tend to get the unsuspecting victim from behind and so unless I grew eyes on the back of my head I wouldn't be able to keep up the constant looking around. Night time would be even worse as I would have the added disadvantage of not being able to see.
Another point to consider is that some of us wear hearing aids, and depend on them a lot. What happens when the hearing batteries run out during a sustained zombie attack?
I could go to the hospital and steal some batteries (note: is it stealing if we are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, or a means of survival?). But, what about when my hearing aids break? Unless I bump into an audiologist I'm doomed.
Verdict: DOOMED!
I am not a horror film fan. If the rating is an 18 then I tend to shy away from them. I even struggle with a 15 rating.
There is one scene that these films appear to have in common and that is the phone call. I remember Drew Barrymore being on the phone to the murderer in Scream and at first the conversation was fine, a bit creepy, but nothing to get upset about.
Then of course he terrified her and the game was up. It is this scene where the killer and the audience get their kicks. Playing games with the victim, and manipulating their fear as well as building up suspense.
Now, if this happened to me I think my deafness would actually save my life. First, I do not think that I would answer the phone at all.
I hate talking on it and whenever I can I get my husband, or my family to do it for me. If I do ever have to talk on the phone then it can be extremely frustrating for the person talking to me as they have to repeat themselves numerous times.
So, if I was babysitting a little cherub and the phone rang, a fifteen minute call would result in the would-be-killer giving up because I would just not be playing along.
However, there are many other scenes in scary films that would mean definite death for me. I cannot hear creaks and footfalls until it is too late and so I would not hear the killer until he/she is upon me. As with the Zombie situation the darkness would decrease my chances of survival even more.
Verdict: Fair chance of survival, for a short time
Having to sing in tune in a musical
I am tone deaf. When I watch shows such as X-Factor or BGT unless it is glaringly obvious I have to ask my husband if the person is a good singer or not.
I cannot hear melodies, or high tones, and I most certainly cannot hear key changes (nor do I understand what they are. I have a different key for my car than I do for my house does that count?).
The only musical sounds that I can really hear are bass and drums. Lyrics are another thing that I struggle with. There was one time when I was singing along to Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer, except I wasn't as my now ex-friend laughingly pointed out to me.
So, all this means that I would not be a harmonious part of the musical. I would miss my cue, mix up my words, and just not hear the music.
Verdict: Out of tune disaster
Well for me this one is obvious. Firstly, I would not be able to hear on the secret radio that they put in their ears.
This means that I would not be able to do a covert operation whereby I am spying on the corrupt minister of a small country that plans to buy arms and send us all sky high, especially not if I was, as they most often are, at a glamorous evening do, the music alone would make it very difficult.
James Bond is always attending these types of affairs, and the first time we saw Jack in action in Mission Impossible is when the team were performing an operation at a delightful party. The conversation for me would go like this:
HQ: Suspect approaching from the left, …… follow him ……. as he is going to the …..
Me: On it. *starts following suspect … into the men's room* Well this is awkward …
HQ: *@!? We said don't follow him!
Other parts of the job that I would fail at are:
- Not hearing the crunch of the glass that I surreptitiously put down to alert me to the enemy.
- Not hearing the click of the gun behind me to alert me to the presence of the bad guys.
- Needing to stop and change my battery at the worst possible moment, most probably when the big deal is going down.
Verdict: SPY HARD? MORE LIKE DIE HARD
So, this is an example of only a very small selection of the genres that are out there and I am sure in lots of other genres I would certainly survive.
In science fiction films I would do well mainly because apparently all illnesses and disabilities are a thing of the past!
Well, I am off to plan my escape should any of these scenarios ever come true, I suggest you do the same.
Alicia is 70% deaf and wears hearing aids. She comes from Milton Keynes and lives with her husband who is hearing, and her cat, Mickey. She works in a study centre with Six Formers and loves it. She has an MA in English Literature which she says "is great because I I love books, books, books, and Earl Grey tea."

A 46-year-old man, identified as award winning television and short film director Adam Strange, was mauled to death by a 14-foot shark, possibly a great white, on Wednesday as he was swimming in the waters of Muriwai Beach in Auckland, New Zealand, reports the Daily Mail.
Up to three more sharks are said to have been drawn to the attack as hundreds of horrified beachgoers watched. Officers fired at least 20 shots at the shark in an attempt to rescue the man, but it was too late.
Fisherman Pio Mosie, who witnessed the attack told stuff.co.nz that it was a "nightmare."
"He was still alive," Mosie said. "He put his head up. We called him to swim over the rock to where we were. He raised his hand up and then while he was rising his hand up we saw another attack and pull him in the water. He came back up. His head was on the water… then we notice he was already dead."
Strange's body was later pulled from the sea as Muriwai and surrounding beaches were closed.
Clinton Duffy, a shark expert with the Department of Conservation, said that only 12 to 14 people have been killed by sharks in New Zealand since record-keeping began in 1837.
Shark Attack Kills Man in Santa Barbara, California
An unidentified man was killed earlier today in a shark attack off the California coastline not far from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
