Pink Hibiscus Lemonade Recipe – Non Alcoholic

5 cups water, divided
2 Hibiscus Tea Bags (Tazo brand preferred)
1 cup fresh lemon juice (7-8 lemons)
2/3 cup sugar

1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Place the hibiscus tea bags in a large liquid measuring cup or bowl and pour the boiling water over the tea bags. Let them steep for 3 minutes, then throw the bags away.
2. Pour the brewed tea, lemon juice, and sugar into a blender and blend well until sugar disappears.
3. Add the remaining 3 cups of cold water to the blender and stir. Taste and if it’s too tarte, add a little more sugar and blend again.
4. Pour over ice, garnish with a lemon slice, and enjoy right away!

Hello you can actually find the hibiscus flowers on asian markets or even online and 100 times better and healthier than the tea bags because it's pure and concentrate. You just have to wash them well and then boil the water and throw the flowers in to cool.

Name the Finger Lakes Museum Eagle Contest

The Finger Lakes Museum has announced &#8220Name the Eagle,&#8221 its first school-based program for area students. Every K-12 student in the Finger Lakes Region will have an opportunity to leave an imprint on the new museum by naming its bald eagle. The winning student will be eligible to have a live bald eagle visit his or her school.

The vision of The Finger Lakes Museum is to create a premier, eco-friendly educational institution that provides entertaining and compelling experiences for visitors and residents. Static and interactive exhibits will immerse visitors in discovery experiences that inspire pride, appreciation, and stewardship for the protection of the region and its water resources.

The eagle is not only the national symbol of the United States, but it represents the new museum as well. It is also one of the most successful conservation stories in American history. In 1965, a single pair of bald eagles remained in all of New York State and nested on Hemlock Lake. Through the dedication and hard work of private individuals and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, more than 200 bald eagle nesting sites occur across the state today.

The Name the Eagle contest will challenge students from across the Finger Lakes Region to identify a name for the museum’s eagle. Students will be encouraged to submit names that are relevant to their region’s cultural and/or natural history. The winning name will be chosen by The Finger Lakes Museum’s Education Committee and the winner’s school will be rewarded with a special program and visit from a live bald eagle.

The contest is open to students in grades K-12- contest entry forms will be distributed through principals and curriculum coordinators in early October- or they can be downloaded from the Museum’s website. For questions about The Finger Lakes Museum and the Name the Eagle contest, contact

EUROPEAN SHORT PITCH 2017 – 11th edition –  Call for short film projects

EUROPEAN SHORT PITCH 2017 – 11th edition –  Call for short film projects

by July 1, 2016

Application deadline – 30th of September 2016

About European Short Pitch

European Short Pitch is an initiative aimed at promoting the European coproduction of short films. It combines a scriptwriting workshop in residency and a coproduction forum bringing together scriptwriters, directors and industry professionals from all over Europe.

Selected on the basis of their short film projects, 16 European talents gather to discuss, rewrite, and learn to promote their stories on a European level with the support of 4 tutors. They eventually pitch their projects in front of a panel of professionals: over 55 producers, financers, buyers, and distributors.

European Short Pitch aims to bring young European talents into the spotlight, give them a high-end promotion opportunity, and develop short film coproduction in Europe. This initiative is about enhancing economic viability and European visibility for short film projects.

From the previous editions (2007-2016), around 220 projects were presented that have resulted so far in the making of 82 short films – many of them having a very successful international career.

Who can apply?

European Short Pitch is open to creative teams developing international short film projects. It is therefore open to writers, directors, and producers.

Writer-directors developing a project on their own are very welcome to participate in the programme. Yet it is strongly advised to already have nationally a production company interested or attached to the project, especially at the time of the coproduction forum (23rd -26th March 2017).

The author(s) of the script has to be between 18 and 35 years of age on the closing date of the call for projects (30th of September 2016).

His/her nationality or country of residence should be one of the member countries of the Creative Europe Programme (European Union + Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Iceland, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway and Turkey). European Short Pitch will also select up to 3 projects from non-member countries of the Creative Europe Programme where NISI MASA has a member organisation: Kosovo, Macedonia, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine.

Applicants must confirm their availability for the different sessions. The working language of European Short Pitch is English; thus, a good knowledge of English is essential in order to participate.

Scriptwriting workshop, coproduction forum & on-line session

European Short Pitch is composed of a scriptwriting workshop in residency, a coproduction forum, and an on-line session in between.

The scriptwriting workshop in residency will take place from the 9th till the 15th of January 2017 in Valletta, Malta in partnership with Shadeena Films and with the support of the Arts Council Malta. Participants will be in groups of four projects, with a tutor heading the process. For five days, they will work intensively on their projects, also giving feedback on other participants’ projects, alternating collective & group sessions, one-to-one sessions with the tutor, and a lecture on an initiation to pitching. One session with a guest producer will introduce participants to European short film coproduction.

The aim of this first session is to enhance the quality of the script and to prepare participants to promote their projects in an international context.

The on-line session (from 16th of January till 28th of February 2017) represents an opportunity for participants to rewrite their scripts following the scriptwriting workshop, and to get up to two feedback sessions from their tutors. In parallel, participants will prepare materials for the Book of Projects, and suggest names of professionals they would like European Short Pitch to invite for the coproduction forum.

The aim of this second session is to have a final script ready for the coproduction forum. On the 28th of February 2017 at the latest, participants have to submit their final script, so that it can be made available – along with the Book of Projects – to invited professionals ten days prior to the coproduction forum.

The coproduction forum will take place from the 23rd till the 26th of March 2017 in Poznan, Poland as part of the Poznan Industry Days in the context of the Short Waves Festival in partnership with Ad Arte. Participants will have one day to prepare and rehearse their pitching with their tutors. The pitching, in the presence of invited professionals, will take place on the 25th of March, each project having 7 minutes – questions included. One-to-one meetings (20 minutes long) with professionals will start in the afternoon of the 25th, and will continue the morning after. On the evening of the 25th an award ceremony will take place, with three prizes of 1 000 Euros each for the Best Pitches (based on the votes of invited professionals) handed out by representatives of the City of Poznan.

The aim of this third session is to create a platform of promotion for the projects selected, to encourage encounters and collaborations between film professionals and to initiate short film coproductions.

Participation fees

The participation fee for each project is 500 Euros. The fee covers the tutorship costs, the travel costs, the accommodation and subsistence for both on-location sessions. One person per project is covered by European Short Pitch. However, upon prior agreement, an extra person per project shall be admitted – he/she will have to cover his/her own travel, accommodation and subsistence costs.

How to apply?

Before the application deadline (30th of September 2016, midnight C.E.T.), applicants have to send a zip file (named after the title of the project) to, containing:

  • The completed application form (Please find the application form here);
  • The script in English (there’s no word-count limitation – however European Short Pitch is designed for short film projects of an estimated length inferior to 30 minutes);
  • The script in the original language (many languages being read and understood by our preselecting reading committee & jury, we may consider the original version as well);
  • CVs of the people involved creatively in the project (author/writer, director & producer);
  • A presentation of the production company attached (if applicable).

Applicants may present audiovisual works for consideration (either previous ones of the creative team or preparatory work made for the project presented). Only works available online will be considered (link to be provided in the application form).

The scripts must be entirely original; borrowing, in any way whatsoever, of any pre-existing work protected by copyright or any other legal protection, or violating the rights of third parties is not permitted.

Selection process

The projects will be selected in two steps.

From the 1st till the 21st of October 2016, a preselecting reading committee composed of 30 readers (NISI MASA members, scriptwriters, producers, participants of previous European Short Pitch editions, etc.) will consider all the applications. Each application will be processed by a minimum of two different readers. 40 projects will be preselected for the consideration of the jury.

From the 21st of October till the 13th of November 2016, the jury will review the 40 projects preselected. The jury is composed of 10 people (scriptwriters, producers, participants of previous European Short Pitch editions, etc.) who will be announced on the website within the next few weeks. The jury will gather on the 17th and 18th of November 2016 in Berlin, Germany, in parallel with the International Short Film Festival interfilm Berlin, and will decide upon the projects selected for European Short Pitch 2017.

Participants will be informed of their selection / non-selection on the 23rd of November 2016, either via the NISI MASA website ( or by email.

The tutors

The tutors are experienced and well-connected film professionals, and have all regularly been working for European Short Pitch for several years – among other activities. There will be 4 tutors (names will be released within the next few weeks) in charge of the script development and pitching trainings. From our previous editions, among them have been:

Marie Dubas (France) is a successful French short film producer and script editor, working on the side for TorinoFilmLab

Nadja Dumouchel (France) is a script consultant working for Arte Creative and TorinoFilmLab.

Vanja Kaludjercic (Croatia) is a programmer for both CPH:DOX and the Sarajevo Film Festival and the head of Industry for the les Arcs European Film Festival.

Antonio Piazza (Italy) is a scriptwriter/director, script editor and ex-participant of European Short Pitch. His latest film Salvo won the two top Awards at the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes in 2013.

Razvan Radulescu (Romania) is a multi awarded scriptwriter and director (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Boogie, Tuesday after Christmas, Child’s Pose etc.)

Leonardo Stagliano (Italy) is a scriptwriter, script editor and tutor working for TorinoFilmLab and Scuola Holden. His latest film Yuri Esposito had its world première during the 2013 edition of the Venice Film Festival as part of the Biennale College.

A guest producer, Jérôme Nunes (Films de Force Majeure), will also be present during the first session to introduce participants to European short film coproduction and its intricacies. Detailed biographies of the tutors will be available soon on

The invited professionals

55 film professionals will be invited for the coproduction forum, chosen for their experience in European short film coproduction and according to the profiles of the selected projects. In some specific cases, participants will be offered to propose names of professionals to invite.

They will be mostly film producers (40 of them), the remaining 15 being either distributors/sales agents, financers (representatives of film funds), or buyers (TV commissioning editors). The list of professionals invited for the previous editions are available on (cf. ‘Book of Producers’).

The organizing team & NISI MASA

European Short Pitch is organised by NISI MASA – European Network of Young Cinema. Present in 31 countries, NISI MASA has been organising dozens of international film projects since 2001.

The 2017 edition of European Short Pitch will be managed by Wim Vanacker, Head of the Script Department, Jérôme Nunes, Manager of the Coproduction forum and Marija Fridinovaite, Project Coordinator.

If I was thinking about a Kick-Ass sequel, I had to get serious.

Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall

I groaned inwardly when the Kick-Ass sequel was announced; a completely unnecessary follow-up to an original that didn’t demand continuation. That Matthew Vaughn wasn’t returning as director reconfirmed this response; he brought a sense of fun and heart to a movie that could otherwise have been wholly misconceived (like the way no one else seems to have been quite able to make a great X-Men movie lately; First Class had personality, whereas the other entries since X2 has been going through the motions). Balls to the Wall, written and directed by Jeff Wadlow, isn’t actually as terrible as I’d feared, but it’s wholly redundant, roundly failing to justify revisiting these characters.

The first movie was crude, vulgar and revelled in the shock value of having a young girl mouthing obscenities while inflicting ultra-violence on unsuspecting bad guys. Now that girl is at school, attempting to fit in, and this is the plot thread of Balls to the Wall that kind of works; Mindy/Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz), having forsaken the superhero lifestyle, is thrown into a sub-Heathers inferno of teenage cruelty, while also discovering she’s attracted to boys. It isn’t terribly original, but neither is Kick-Ass/Dave (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) joining up with a gang of fellow super-heroes/vigilantes (why Dave needs to learn how to fight all over again here – twice! – is anyone’s guess) while Chris/the Motherfucker (Christopher Mintz-Plasse; only actors with three-word names take the leads in this series) decides to reinvent himself as a super villain. The result is replete with the kind of lazy comic book sequel referencing the Scream sequels supplied for horror movies (but more successfully). The pervading air is of “how can we make a sequel work?” rather than “We’ve got a great reason for continuing this story”.

Everything that was fresh now feels tired. What was shocking now seems like cheap repetition. Just the name Motherfucker evidences the level of wit on display. The dodgy superhero/villain names (Night Bitch, The Tumor etc) were more amusing in Mystery Men fifteen years ago, and Mystery Men wasn’t really very good. Wadlow (working from Mark Millar’s source material, which apparently revels in its capacity to shock the readser) finds himself laying on even the half-decent gags too thick (“You’ve got to quit with the racist stereotypes, Chris”, John Leguizamo’s Javier tells the Mother Fucker; “Archetypes” he responds). Occasionally there’s a flash of the first movie’s successful contrasts between comic book and “real” world; the Motherfucker’s insulted reaction when it is suggested he kills the dog belonging to Captain Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey). But Wadlow’s idea of a theme is to repeat ad infinitum that there aren’t superheroes in the real world, all the while informing the viewer with the choreography, fight moves, set pieces and a generically stylised visual palette that this is a superhero world.

The violence of the first picture, where Kick-Ass takes a beating or where Hit-Girl goes to work to the accompaniment of the Banana Splits theme, is delivered dutifully but without motive, and so has an unpleasant edge. It can’t shock because it could only shock the first time. So now these scenes feature because they’re what the audience expects of a Kick-Ass movie (this isn’t as bloody as the original, but I’m still not sure how it gets away with a 15; God knows what the BBFC are thinking). Tellingly, the most effective Hit-Girl scene here isn’t one where she kicks ass but instead induces a trio of mean girls to vomit. There’s also the small factor that Hit-Girl’s language has little impact delivered by a 15-year old; four years makes all the difference. And when the best she can come up with as an insult is “Puke face” you start to wonder. The coarse language between schoolgirls is more effective, but indicative of an unpleasant undercurrent in respect of the depiction of women in the film, with references to snatch-kicking, muff munching and a would-be rape that is played for laughs on account of the assailant’s inadequacy (considerably toned down from Millar’s original scenario, but no more acceptable as a result). For a movie as schematic and manipulative as this one (Dave’s emotional journey includes an especially under-cooked development that never sufficiently pays off; we’re presumably expected to think the mere fact of its occurrence is weighty enough), such material doesn’t translate as daring or edgy; it’s merely evidencing how lucky the first effort was to have Vaughn.

Johnson, Moretz and Mintz-Plasse return to their characters fairly effortlessly, but the latter is utterly typecast as the nerd du jour at this point; I’m slightly surprised he’s gone on as long as he has (what, eight years?) Jim Carrey, who famously disassociated himself from the movie, is solid if unspectacular as Stars and Stripes; his physical transformation is impressive, and he never drops the character to indulge in his usual schtick, but the Captain isn’t a terribly interesting character. Barely anything is made of his Born Again disposition, for example. Lindy Booth is memorable as Night Bitch, and a smattering of British thesps appear in small roles; Benedict Wong, Iain Glen, Steven Mackintosh, Monica Dolan.

Balls to the Wall is very cheap looking. Tim Maurice-Jones cinematography is unpersuasive, and there’s a pretty awful fight sequence atop a speeding van complete with horribly obvious green screen work. In general, the tone is one of straight-to-video cash-in whose stars should have known better. Even the score sounds recycled, the really rather great four composer-led work on the original now limited to Henry Jackman redoing the (admittedly great) main theme from the first with Matthew Margeson.

I don’t think anyone really expected there to be a Kick-Ass sequel apart from the reliably self -promoting Mark Millar. Kick-Ass didn’t make enough ($96m worldwide) for it to be a forgone conclusion, so someone obviously did a sum based on the home entertainment market. Since this one cost about the same but made a third less, and wasn’t very well received I expect there’ll be even less clamour for another. I’ll be happy to forget about it, while holding up the first movie as a genuinely great little surprise. Maybe in 20 years, when studios are dusting off old properties that have a lot of nostalgia value (as they always are), a return of Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl might have some merit, but for now they should just leave it alone. No matter how much Millar talks them up.

Marriage Story (2019)
(SPOILERS) I don’t tend to fall heavily for Noah Baumbach fare. He’s undoubtedly a distinctive voice – even if his collaborations with Wes Anderson are the least of that director’s efforts – but his devotion to an exclusive, rarefied New York bubble becomes ever more off-putting with each new project. And ever more identifiable as being a lesser chronicler of the city’s privileged quirks than his now disinherited forbear Woody Allen, who at his peak mastered a balancing act between the insightful, hilarious and self-effacing. Marriage Story finds Baumbach going yet again where Woody went before, this time brushing up against the director’s Ingmar Bergman fixation.

You're not only wrong. You're wrong at the top of your voice.

Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)
I’ve seen comments suggesting that John Sturges’ thriller hasn’t aged well, which I find rather mystifying. Sure, some of the characterisations border on the cardboard, but the director imbues the story with a taut, economical backbone.

Old Boggy walks on Lammas Eve.

Jeeves and Wooster 2.5: Kidnapped  (aka The Mysterious Stranger)
Kidnapped continues the saga of Chuffnell Hall. Having said of 2.4 that the best Wodehouse adaptations tend to stick closely to the text, this one is an exception that proves the rule, diverging significantly yet still scoring with its highly preposterous additions.

Jeeves: Tis old boggy. He be abroad tonight. He be heading for the railway station.
Gone are many of the imbroglios involving Stoker and Glossop (the estimable Roger Brierley), including the contesting of the former’s uncle’s will. Also gone, sadly, is the inebriated Brinkley throwing potatoes at Stoker, which surely would have been enormous fun. Instead, we concentrate on Bertie being locked aboard Stoker’s yacht in order to secure his marriage to Pauline (as per the novel), Chuffy tailing Pauline in disguise (so there’s a different/additional reason for Stoker to believe Bertie and she spent the night together, this time at a pub en route to Chufnell Hall) and …

Django Unchained (2012)
(MINOR SPOILERS) Since the painful misstep of Grindhouse/Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino has regained the higher ground like never before. Pulp Fiction, his previous commercial and critical peak, has been at very least equalled by the back-to-back hits of Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. Having been underwhelmed by his post Pulp Fiction efforts (albeit, I admired his technical advances as a director in Kill Bill), I was pleasantly surprised by Inglourious Basterds. It was no work of genius (so not Pulp Fiction) by any means, but there was a gleeful irreverence in its treatment of history and even to the nominal heroic status of its titular protagonists. Tonally, it was a good fit for the director’s “cool” aesthetic. As a purveyor of postmodern pastiche, where the surface level is the subtext, in some ways he was operating at his zenith. Django Unchained is a retreat from that position, the director caught in the tug between his all-important aesthetic pr…

They say if we go with them, we'll live forever. And that's good.

Cocoon (1985)
Anyone coming across Cocoon cold might reasonably assume the involvement of Steven Spielberg in some capacity. This is a sugary, well-meaning tale of age triumphing over adversity. All thanks to the power of aliens. Substitute the elderly for children and you pretty much have the manner and Spielberg for Ron Howard and you pretty much have the approach taken to Cocoon. Howard is so damn nice, he ends up pulling his punches even on the few occasions where he attempts to introduce conflict to up the stakes. Pauline Kael began her review by expressing the view that consciously life-affirming movies are to be consciously avoided. I wouldn’t go quite that far, but you’re definitely wise to steel yourself for the worst (which, more often than not, transpires).

Cocoon is as dramatically inert as the not wholly dissimilar (but much more disagreeable, which is saying something) segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie directed by Spielberg (Kick the Can). There, OAPs rediscover their in…

Reindeer-goat cheese pizza?

Hudson Hawk (1991)
A movie star vanity project going down in flames is usually met with open delight from press and critics alike. Even fans of the star can nurse secret disappointment that they were failed on this occasion. But, never mind, soon they will return to something safe and certain. Sometimes the vehicle is the result of a major star attaching themselves to a project where they are handed too much creative control, where costs spiral and everyone ends up wet (Waterworld, The Postman, Ishtar). In other cases, they bring to screen a passion project that is met with derision (Battlefield Earth). Hudson Hawk was a character created by Bruce Willis, about whom Willis suddenly had the post-Die Hard clout to make a feature.

I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my "back pain", Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, part to mellow me out, cocaine to wake me back up again, and morphine... Well, because it's awesome.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Along with Pain & Gain and The Great Gatsby, The Wolf of Wall Street might be viewed as the completion of a loose 2013 trilogy on the subject of success and excess; the American Dream gone awry. It’s the superior picture to its fellows, by turns enthralling, absurd, outrageous and hilarious. This is the fieriest, most deliriously vibrant picture from the director since the millennium turned. Nevertheless, stood in the company of Goodfellas, the Martin Scorsese film from which The Wolf of Wall Street consciously takes many of its cues, it is found wanting.

I was vaguely familiar with the title, not because I knew much about Jordan Belfort but because the script had been in development for such a long time (Ridley Scott was attached at one time). So part of the pleasure of the film is discovering how widely the story diverges from the Wall Street template. “The Wolf of Wall Street” suggests one who towers over the city like a behemoth, rather than a guy …

Barbarians? You call us barbarians?

The Omega Man (1971)
(SPOILERS) Chuck Heston battles albino mutants in 1970s LA. Sure-fire, top-notch B-hokum, right? Can’t miss? Unfortunately, The Omega Man is determinedly pedestrian, despite gestures towards contemporaneity with its blaxploitation nods and media commentary so faint as to be hardly there. Although more tonally subdued and simultaneously overtly “silly” in translating the vampire lore from Richard Matheson’s I am Legend, the earlier The Last Man on Earth is probably the superior adaptation.

He tasks me. He tasks me, and I shall have him.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
(SPOILERS) I don’t love Star Trek, but I do love Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. That probably isn’t just me, but a common refrain of many a non-devotee of the series. Although, it used to apply to The Voyage Home (the funny one, with the whales, the Star Trek even the target audience for Three Men and a Baby could enjoy). Unfortunately, its high regard has also become the desperate, self-destructive, song-and-verse, be-all-and-end-all of the overlords of the franchise itself, in whichever iteration, it seems. This is understandable to an extent, as Khan is that rare movie sequel made to transcendent effect on almost every level, and one that stands the test of time every bit as well (better, even) as when it was first unveiled.

I think it’s gratuitous, but whatever.

The MCU Ranked Worst to Best
This is an update of a ranking previously published in 2018. I’d intended to post it months ago but these things get side-tracked. You can find the additions of Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home and a revised assessment of Ant-Man and the Wasp. There are also a few tweaks here and there.

We Got You Covered

Orange County's Campaign to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 Orange County Government, Fl logo

Did you know?

On June 18, 2020 Mayor Demings signed an Executive Order requiring the use of face coverings for all residents or visitors in Orange County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orange County Government has “got you covered" and wants to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by reminding everyone to wear facial coverings. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), wearing a face covering can prevent the spread of the virus as it limits the projection of droplets when we speak or cough.

Wearing a face covering, along with social distancing and hand-washing, is the most effective means of protecting yourself and protecting others. Protect others and yourself by doing the right thing.

Two face masks next to each other with the text 'I protect you. You protect me.'

"I am a Christian because I believe in the Resurrection"

.... If the claims of Christianity are in fact true, they are true with or without me. On any given day, my ardent belief or deep skepticism doesn’t alter reality one hair’s breadth.

Believers and skeptics alike often approach the Christian story as if its chief value is personal, subjective, and self-expressive. We come to faith primarily for how it comforts us or helps us cope or lends a sense of belonging. However subtly, we reduce the Resurrection to a symbol or a metaphor. Easter is merely an inspirational tradition, a celebration of rebirth and new life that calls us to the best version of ourselves and helps give meaning to our lives. ....

“Let us not mock God with metaphor, analogy, sidestepping, transcendence; making of the event a parable, a sign painted in the faded credulity of earlier ages,” writes John Updike in his poem “Seven Stanzas at Easter.” If Jesus’ “cells’ dissolution did not reverse, the molecules reknit, the amino acids rekindle, the Church will fall.”

I am a Christian today not because it answers all my questions about the world or about our current suffering. It does not. And not because I think it is a nice, coherent moral order by which to live my life. And not because I grew up this way or have fond feelings about felt boards and hymn sings. And not because it motivates justice or helps me to know how to vote. I am a Christian because I believe in the Resurrection. If it isn’t true, to hell with it.

On the other hand, if Jesus did in fact come back from the dead on a quiet Sunday morning some 2,000 years ago, then everything is changed.... (more)

This epic drama looks at the opening of the Canadian West and the drought that led to the Depression in the Thirties. It is the saga of a family who left Eastern Canada to stake their future in the Prairies. Principle roles are played by Frances Hyland and James Douglas.

For more background information about this film, please visit the NFB.ca blog.

Drylanders was the first feature-length fiction film produced in English at the NFB and came about because the 1-hour documentary on farming in Saskatchewan that was originally proposed was rejected by the CBC. Filmmaker Donald Haldane instead adapted the idea to a dramatic feature. The resulting film would play in over 500 theatres across Canada.

    What a great film. It truly captures how the Canadian West was open, developed only to see all that work blown away by the Great Drought and the Great Depression.

    I love history in particular the 1930"s and 40's. When I read books and watch documentaries and movies I try to get the feel of what is was like to be there. The Drylanders did that, put me there. Wonderful movie, looking forward to checking the rest of this website. Thanks so much .. edibrenan

Georgia O'Keeffe

Dark Mesa and Pink Sky

Music to accompany this page:
The Rose, by Bette Midler

Click on images to enlarge

Georgia would often venture out on her own, driving into the desert until a viewNature Forms Gaspecaught her attention, then setting down to paint it. Such was the case with her painting Nature Forms Gaspe, from 1932.

It was on one of these drives, in 1934, that Georgia visited Ghost Ranch for the first time. She stumbled upon it by accident, and when she found they had a cottage available, she rushed back to where she had been living, packed up her belongings, and returned to stay. The ranch was also hostMy Backyardto other well known personalities, including Ansel Adams, D. H. Lawrence and the Lindberghs.

It wasn't until 1940, that Georgia would purchase her own home in New Mexico, in Abiquiu. Her new home consisted of 5 buildings. Georgia fell in love with a mesaLong Pink Hillsin the Jemez range, called the Pedernal, that was visible from her home. She would paint it often, and came to nicknamed it as My Backyard. On the opposite side of the compound was a range of red, pink and yellow mountains that she would pay tribute to in 1942, in her painting Long Pink Hills.

O'Keeffe painted the western landscapes which she described in a simple statement "this is magical country to me." At the same time continued to paint the Big Flowers, that the public had come to love. Her An Orchid 1941 painting, An Orchid, clearly represented how the Director of the Art Institute of Chicago, described her art as "sort of sparkling and alive quiet all at the same time."

During the summer of 1946, Stieglitz suffered a heart attack, and Georgia left New Mexico immediately, to be by his side. Still dressed in the work shoes and red cotton dress she had been wearing while working outdoors that morning, O'Keeffe arrived in time to be with Stieglitz before his passing.

After settling Stieglitz's estate, Georgia returned to New Mexico, which nowPoppies - 1950became her year-round home, and resumed her painting. She began another floral study that included Poppies. Changes in the art world leaned the public in a direction that differed from her own style, and her exhibits lessened. Georgia took advantage of this decreasing demand to travel. Stieglitz never desired to venture beyond New York and Lake George, and O'Keeffe complied with his desires and only took the liberty to visit New Mexico annually. Now was her time to spread her wings and see the world.

During the fifties, Georgia took her first trips outside of the country, first driving through Mexico, and later traveling to Europe. A lifelong dream was fulfilled when she visited Peru, in 1956. It lived up to every expectation she had conceived, and she remarked "There is something dreamlike about it - the days were so wonderful - it was so beautiful one was often left speechless and by night one thought maybe it wasn't real - maybe it was a dream . . . everything in Peru in some way seems to be a peak, the desert is more desert - the mountains are more high . . . and up there in the heights, there was the most beautiful colored earth I have seen."

Georgia's travels did not end there. Trips followed, to Japan, India, Australia, the SouthIt was Blue and GreenPacific, and Africa. She would return from each adventure with happiness, and an eagerness to paint. After returning from a trip in 1960, she reflected on the rivers that she had seen while flying to her destinations. She was fascinated with their colors, and patterns, and upon her return she took to the canvas, painting It was Blue and Green.

By the early 1970's, Georgia's sight began to fail her. Black Rock with Blue III,Black Rock with Blue III would be one of her final paintings before she laid the brush done forever. Shortly afterward, a young potter showed up at her door, looking for work. She hired him to do some odd jobs around her compound, eventually hired him full time at her business manager. He inspired and encouraged Georgia to try her hand at pottery, and she began dabbling in the arts again.

Georgia had always maintained a private persona, shying away from the limelight. This changed in the mid 1970's, when she authored a book about her art, and opened her doors to a film crew, for a documentary at Ghost Ranch.

The highest honor that Georgia had received was when she was elect to the American Academy of Arts and Letter. This is the nation's highest honor society for people in the arts, and consists of a fifty member body. This honor was surpassed when, in 1977, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor bestowed upon a civilian, and then the National Medal of Arts.

As Georgia approached her late 90's, her health become more frail, and she moved to Sante Fe, from her beloved Ghost Ranch compound. She would die on March 6, 1986. Instructions that she had drawn up were expected, and the next day she was cremated and her ashes were scatted to the wind, from atop "her mountain" over the country she had come to love dearly.

Pain Management Tips & Tricks

June 24, 2015 Education No Comments

Pains are always painful irrespective of where and what kind of a pain it is. Unfortunately everyone experiences pain at some point of time or other. And only the person who is suffering can understand the severity of that pain. Usually pain is an indication that something is wrong.  A pain can range from mild and infrequent to severe and constant.

A person can have any type of pain, from something very serious to something which is sporadic and not so serious. Pains like:

  • Body pain
  • Neck pain
  • Headache
  • Stomach ache
  • Toothache
  • Knee pain
  • Joints pain

Managing pain could be tricky at times. So the best way to start controlling it is by finding out the root cause of the pain. Only once the cause is found out, we could work towards getting the right kind of remedy to curb it and live without any bodily pains. premiumKratom uses all parts of the leaves.

Pain management is that branch of medicine which deals with treating the discomfort or pain, in order to improve the quality of life of those suffering with any type of pain. It is also called as pain medicine or aligiatry. People involved in treating pain or pain management are medical practitioners or doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, physician assistants, occupational & message therapists, psychologists, and pharmacists. The group of few or all of these people is called as a pain management team. In order to treat any chronic or long term pain there is a need of pain management team to work together in order to treat the patient. And only after their joint and coordinated efforts a healthy result is visible.

There are a few techniques to say goodbye to pain. Some of the commonly used techniques are listed below:

  • Physical medications: Taking oral medications or applying some locally is one of the most common techniques to treat various types and intensity of pains. From acute to chronic, from constant to sporadic; all kinds of pain has got some or the other medications available with on doctor’s prescription or over-the-counter.
  • Acupuncture: This is one of the most effective ways to treat chronic and constant pains. In this method, needles are inserted at certain points of a person’s body; these points are very specific and are used to put needles only to treat that particular type of pain. For example points are specific for headache and there are different points for back pain and points for knee pain are again different.
  • TENS: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is said to be very effective for lower back pain. Apart from back pain, other acute and chronic pains are also treated using this technique.
  • Light therapy: This is yet another form of therapy which works on the factor of light and the positive way light affects our brain and a low level of laser therapy is used to relieve few types of pains.
  • Mindfulness medication: In mindfulness medication the intensity of pain is reduced to a great level.

Tánaiste Joan Burton hopes to reduce this year’s deficit in the budget by releasing a new calendar for 2015 featuring her in the nip. The idea came about after a brain storming session by Labour TDs as they returned to the Dáil this week after the summer holidays. Labour are adamant that they are in touch with what the public wants and needs, and this fund raising attempt appear to satisfy both those desires.

Burton sent Oxygen.ie an advance copy of the calendar for review purposes, complete with an autograph and a lipstick kiss on the cover. We have yet to open it for obvious health reasons but we admire the Tánaiste for thinking outside the box when it comes to tackling Ireland’s economic woes and worries.

Burton contacted Oxygen.ie on the phone last night and said, “I believe as a party, Labour has their finger on the pulse of what Ireland wants and needs. For too long I have been leaving a lot to the imagination and I felt this was a good way to get everything out in the open. Some might say that the July photograph might be overly graphic with the ping pong balls but I felt that I shouldn’t be ashamed of the talents that God gave me. All the proceeds from this calendar will be poured into the budget deficit. Some might argue that I’m selling my body but some might also say it is a novel way to tackle a serious crisis. It is art, it’s subjective and I will leave my critics to decide what is what”.

The calendar will hit the stores in early November, just in time for the run up to Christmas.

Walcott North American Wild Flowers 1925

While our images are electronically watermarked, the antique prints themselves are not.

Tuliptree WCT45 $55
Each print measures approximately 11 inches wide by 15 inches long.

Mary Morris Vaux Walcott (1860-1940) was born into one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most prominent Quaker families in Philadelphia. She began painting flowers at the age of eight, and studied drawing while she attended the Friends Select School, a Quaker institution in Philadelphia. Her family traveled each summer to the Canadian Rockies, where Mary developed into an amateur photographer, naturalist, and mountain climber.

In 1913, she met her husband, Charles Walcott, who was the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and a well-known geologist and invertebrate paleontologist. They married in 1914, and the two made research trips to the Canadian Rockies for three or four months each summer. While on these trips with her husband, Mary sketched and painted the subjects for her five-volume book, North American Wild Flowers, published in 1925 by the Smithsonian Institute.

Charles Walcott died in 1927, but Mary continued her sojourns to the Canadian Rockies until 1939. She died in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, on August 22, 1940. She was affiliated with the Alpine Club, the Photographic Society of Philadelphia, and served on the federal Board of Indian Commissioners from 1927 to 1932. She was elected president of the Society of Woman Geographers in 1933.

The selection of prints offered here is just a taste from this glorious work of 400 wild flowers of North America. It is perhaps the greatest comprehensive work on the topic ever published. It is from the subscriber's edition, of 500 numbered sets, this being set 362, signed on the foot of the foreword by Mary Walcott. Each print will be accompanied by a copy of the title page and the foreword, written by Mary Walcott. These lithographs are larger in size than the later trade issue, measuring approximately 11 inches wide by 15 inches long. They are printed on a high quality, creamy wove paper, with very strong plate marks which do not show well in the digital images. The illustrations are a testament to the artistic skills of Walcott and a superb record of American wild flowers.

The Sussex Mummers´Christmas carol

Traditional from Sussex

Baritone solo, SSAATTBB

Duration 4’30”

This is one of the most beautiful christmas carols I know. A solemn melody conveys a folk-poem that combines the joy of the birth of christ with the stark reality of His death. The song also expresses gratitude for having the privilege of celebrating christmas with a full cupboard, and in the path of Christ.

The arrangement utilizes four verses of the text. The first verse is for the soloist  alone. The arrangement then gradually builds up to eight part chorus. The arrangement can also be performed with a Female soloist.

Animation And Game Design Going To The Movies

Animation and game design have, for the most part, fallen into two categories in the past. You either worked on animation for children’s movies or you focused on animation for video games. Today, however, many young animators are realizing that their opportunities are becoming much more diverse as the movie graphic novel and video gaming industries have begun to overlap.

Today more and more video games are becoming movies. Successes in the last decade include Doom, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Tomb Raider. All of these movies were based on popular video games that had been created by animation and gaming professionals. The movie directors discovered that, in order to maintain the look and feel of the games, they had to get to know these games inside and out. They often called on game design experts as consultants to help them achieve this. There are few people as loyal as gaming enthusiasts, so capturing the proper look and feel was essential to the success of these films.

Graphic novels, a writing genre known for its highly graphic illustrative style, have also spawned movies recently. The two most notable are Sin City and 300, both based on violent, action-packed graphic novels. In both instances, the movies were directed with actors but relied heavily on computer graphics, computer design and, in some instances, animation, to enhance particular scenes and enrich the details. The success of these two movies in turn created video games based on the movies (which were based on graphic novels)…are you seeing the pattern now? Anyone with animation and game design credentials these days can go into a wide range of fields, not just game design. When the genres overlap, so do job opportunities.

Where the Talent Lies – Animation and Game Design
Hollywood is also producing more animated movies that ever before for family consumption. Cars, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Happy Feet, and the list goes on. Disney Studios continue to produce the traditional “princess” movies, but a dozen other studios also produce quality animation.

While a generation ago animation was done using thousands of artist’s sketches put together to create action, today’s animated movies are created with computer animation, and individuals with Animation and Game Design degrees are hot properties. Studios know that those with game design experience have an understanding of the complexities of movement, from the way the wind ruffles your hair to how someone lands when they fall, that no one else can match. Gamers are tough customers. They expect realism and accuracy and they get it. This has translated into increasing attention to detail in animated films. The more sophisticated the audience becomes, the more these industries have to work at giving the public what it wants.

The Future of Animation and Game Design
With the growing overlap of so many genres of entertainment, graphic novels, movies and video games, it is obvious that the need for professionals with both animation and game design skills will only increase. Whether you want to work in Silicon Valley or Hollywood, a degree in some kind of animation and game design area will get your foot in the door.

Selling the Bike

A few nights ago, I had an interesting dream. In the dream, the Lord asked me to sell my recumbent bicycle and buy a mountain bike. I thought the request to be odd since I enjoy the laidback riding position of a recumbent. It’s like peddling while sitting in an easy chair.

I knew the image of bicycles was a spiritual metaphor, so I asked the Lord to help me understand the message. He said, “You have new terrain up ahead. This transition will require that you explore new and challenging trails. I need you in a terrain-appropriate vehicle.” Yesterday, I put my recumbent on Craigslist as a prophetic act of obedience.

Many of us are about to enter new and unimproved trails of our calling. The vehicle we used in the past may not allow us to navigate the terrain of an unfolding future.

I know I'm not alone in this feeling. God is preparing new vehicles of vision, mission, and calling for many of us. As we enter a time of social re-engagement it's important to know we are riding on something that will allow us to navigate through this time of transition and arrive in the future God is about to reveal.

Aren’t we all feeling this way

April 24, 2020

I had thought I would post daily. I guess not. Makes sense, even if its vaguely disappointing. The only thing I do every day is eat some oreo cookies, drink 2 cups of coffee and sleep like crap. Posting here seems to have been relegated into the realm of exercise, meaning something I do regularly, more or less, but aspire to do more. The pandemic has not made made me better at either of these things, posting or working out. I am exactly who I was before the pandemic, as far as getting shit done.

MTB was wearing a sweatshirt today commando style, i.e. no bra. A very early lesbian look. Reminded me of a lot of dykes who were around when I came out. Always braless. Flashing back to those times, for a second, I thought I had insight about my generation of dykes who came out in the early 80’s, and how maybe how we bridged the gap between 70’s lesbians and 90’s dykes, and how that was cool. But then I also remembered how many dykes of my generation turned out to be hateful TERFS, and I didn’t care so much pursuing that insight.

I have had an on and off again, low grade headache since self isolation orders went into effect. And a stuffy nose. And sometimes a sore throat. Hasn’t gotten worse. Hasn’t gotten better. Fucking allergies and I can’t seem to remember to take claritin at regular intervals. There is at least one moment every day where I think, this headache is different or this sore throat is itchy. Do I have COVID-19? Is this how it starts? Is everyone having a similar experience? Aren’t we all at least vaguely scared of getting sick or of someone we know and love getting sick?

i didn’t mean for the whole post to be about biking

April 18, 2020

Got out for an early afternoon bike ride today. Much better than after work rides, as far as making safe space for passing all the foot traffic in the streets these day. More bike riders out, though. Mostly spandexed ones. Only 1 or 2 of those dudes not passing with as much room as I wish they would.

I’ve worked out a couple routes that include some hills to boost the level of intensity, especially because I’ve solely been riding my townie bike since the isolation orders. My townie bike is my 12 year old Surly Long Haul Trucker (maybe first edition) that I converted into my version of a cruiser with cafe or granny handle bars, a 2 ring crank and 8 ring cassette, some bigger tires, and for a while, a basket upfront. It’s not something I ride because I want to get somewhere more quickly, as in it’s not my commuting bike. It’s something I ride because I want to slow down, look around, talk to whoever I’m riding with, at least I used to do that, the talking part, in different times.

I’ve been riding my townie since the pandemic-isolation because everything else feels so intense, and I wanted riding to feel the opposite of that. My commuting bike, a Surly Straggler, has clip in pedals and drop bars and I feel more dialed in when I ride it, more exertional. (Am I even using that word right?) The townie vibe is dialed down. It’s more like I ride a bike and less like I’m a cyclist. Not that I identify as a cyclist. If I’m forced to claim a biking identity, it’s definitely commuter.

In my mind, I have written whole books about the experience of bike commuting, and how broken the transportation system is in the US when it comes to support for bike commuting, and broken is a gigantic understatement.* What I hadn’t anticipated, during these times, was still having shitty experiences with people driving cars. There may not be a lot of cars on the road, but the ones out there are being driven at excessive speeds. Excessive. Even on residential streets. It sucks. A lot.

* Also does gigantic mean giant XXL? I refuse to abandon my blog to go look up a word, again. I’ve already looked up synonym’s for intense. Also this is my experiment with a footnotey thing. It’s not an actual footnote because I don’t have the syntax or formatting.

what’s not working

April 17, 2020

I haven’t baked any bread. I haven’t sent emails to old exes. I’m not doing online work-outs everyday. The basement is still the same mess it was 2 months ago. I’ve not

I’m not being relentlessly productive. I don’t see this an opportunity to improve myself. To quote Larry Kramer, “we’re in the middle of a fucking plague.”

The other day I was listened to a podcast interview with Elizabeth Warren. Listening to her, I felt both calm and sad. Go listen to it yourself, you’ll see. It’s like being in an alternate reality, where for an hour you let yourself believe in government, you let yourself believe in leadership, you let yourself believe we can get through this an not destroy ourselves. I forgot what it was like to let myself believe that.

I’m never sure what I want to write about here. I sit down with one idea, often an opening line, and then I end up somewhere else. Or I end up no where, which is the case today. Stuck.

We are all stuck. And by we, I mean we, the world.

i don’t have a title for this

April 16, 2020

I am feeling sad today. Actually, sad’s not the right word. I am feeling some despair today. Probably, like a level one kind of despair. Like if despair were an iceberg, I’m at the tip. Or if despair were a language I’m just learning how to count.

Maybe I’ve gotten over saturated by news and podcasts. There is only one real story – the virus. And our lives and the world we live in are forever changed by it, which feels impossible to really acknowledge. Right outside the door someone is mowing their yard and the neighbor’s is playing Led Zeppelin on their stereo and the mail carrier is walking down the street and there’s sunshine and flowers, none of which fits with image of the end of the world as we know it, which is the prevailing headline.

Every day I do a pointless google search for news on “COVID-19 treatments.” It’s like sending up a prayer for a miracle cure or wishing on a shooting star to win the lottery. I do this even though I know if there were substantial news on the treatment front, it would be covered in every news outlet.

I should put on a mask and get on my bike or go for a walk.

i wish i could sleep better

April 12, 2020

I used to be such a good sleeper. I fell asleep. I stayed asleep. Around 10 years ago that changed. I started waking myself up a lot moving around the bed, constantly changing positions. Then menopause hit, bringing night sweats, which are impossible to sleep through. Now, as I close in on 60, I’m just aging, and research shows that aging means you often have a harder time falling asleep and staying asleep.

Even as night sweats have lessened in intensity, aging has not, thankfully, as the alternative to not aging is a grim option. But this not very good sleep situation has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Most nights I get shitty sleep, waking with racing thoughts or a broken heart or startled by fear.

That was the case last night. At 2:30 and 4:30, I was awake enough that I considered going out to the couch or the day bed in the back room to read or listen to a podcast. This is the third I’ve awoken like this this week. I tried the day bed the first time and the couch the second, and I tossed and turned the rest of the night.

Predictably, I woke up tired this morning. Low buzz of irritation and anxiety right beneath the sleepy surface. And a perfect backdrop to do my part in escalating a disagreement with MTB about going to the grocery store, into a fight. It was stupid. I felt shitty. MTB felt shitty. The shitty feeling casting a shadow into the afternoon, long after the fight was over.

I think MTB and I are doing pretty good managing our lives together in our small house, with 2 dogs, 1 of whom can be ALOT at night when she devolves into a barking spell that lasts an hour or so. But we can’t do KIT (keeping it together) all the time. I’m not immune to the crummier parts of myself. And I’m only really aware, at least helpfully aware, of my diminished capacity in hindsight.

It’s better now. I wrote this blog. MTB is doing yoga. I’m going to make a pot of black beans for the second week in a row.

i thought i was going to write about weeding

April 11, 2020

I should be outside. It’s partly sunny. The temperature is warming up. MTB is working away in the backyard, bringing her botanical vision to life. She’s a god damn garden genius. It’s gonna be an oasis back there.

But I am sitting at the one desk we have. Reading news, window shopping online, listening to podcasts. Despair. I feel it right there, under the skin. We stopped the world and it’s collapsing in on itself.

The two retail shops closest to us that are open are a gun shop and weed shop. How did gun shops become essential businesses? Rhetorical question, I know. Americans are gun obsessed. Our minds have become so twisted or so defeated by firearm fanaticism that we can’t even bring ourselves to do one fucking meaningful thing to protect kids. I’m talking teenagers, adolescents, children. You know.

Some states are trying to use the pandemic to ban abortions, which is a disgusting abuse of power, by the way. But no governors are using the pandemic for gun control, which is pathetic. The NRA, which was losing some clout, is newly invigorated. Gun and ammunition sales are sky rocketing. Gun control is a public health issue. We aren’t just having a global public health crisis. We are in below ground zero public health crisis. In the upside down. But god forbid, a mother fucker can’t go buy a god damn gun.

i’ve got work to do

April 10, 2020

Our dog won’t stop barking at me. I’m on a zoom call with MD (we do a weekly writing group) and our dog Billie is furiously barking. I think she gets fired up by all the voices coming out of the computer. I tried earbuds tonight. But then MTB came in the room carrying her computer or phone and someone was talking out of that device. Barking ensued.

I’ve stopped talking to write and Billie has stopped barking. A miracle.

I was on a work meeting video call today, and the person I was meeting with has a young child who had discovered the doorbell. Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong . . . and it’s not like my colleague could mute herself, as our meeting required conversation. We both laughed. We still got our work done.

I’m on a lot of work video call meetings and there’s something very endearing about seeing my colleagues in their homes, often in a sweatshirt, mussy hair, dogs barking, kids walking through the frame in the background. Inevitably, someone is eating something that involves unwrapping something in polypropylene wrapper, like a power bar, or pulling something out of a polypropylene bag, like a potato chip, and the bag or the bar is sitting right by the computer mic, and the noise from polypropylene is exponentially loud.

The performative work self has been undone, at least at my job. We’re getting work done, a boat load of work, but without wearing our work facade, which in the past could get in the way of getting work done. It’s fitting. Hunker down. Get real. Get shit done. It would be weird if it were any other way.

staying home

April 6, 2020

Did I brush my teeth today? That question pops up in my brain almost every afternoon. I don’t like to brush my teeth before I have my coffee and these days I have my coffee right away when I first get up. And if it’s a work day, I just start working while I’m waiting for the water to boil.

When I was going into the office, I would brush my teeth first thing when I got up and then have my first cup of coffee at my desk. As a bike commuter, (or am I now a former bike commuter?) with a longer than average commute, it never worked for my gut to ingest more than a glass of water before my ride.

But I get it – what’s happening with the tooth brushing thing. I need a new routine. I need to adjust to the new shape of my days, really, the new shape of all of our days, that’s been imposed on us by the pandemic. Or really it’s the shapelessness of our days that feels so impossible. But creating structure for myself has never been my strong suit. And right now, I’m angry and sad and feel scared, and I don’t want to fucking create a new routine so I make sure to brush my teeth every day.

Yes, I am being hyperbolic. And stupid. And trying to make a point out of a low stakes something, which maybe didn’t work. I don’t know.

MTB went grocery shopping today. One of the other shoppers was wearing an N95 mask. GD and MB walked with their kids to Irvington park to find about maybe 20 people bunched up around the basketball courts watching a pick-up game. On Instagram and Facebook, I’m still seeing photos of friends at beach or on a trail. I don’t get it. It’s both disheartening and infuriating.

Right now, I’m in a squat off with my friend BH. She texts me, SQUAT, and I get up from my desk and do 30 squats. My bike thighs are already starting to give way. I’m hoping the squats will salvage them, at least kind of. Right now we doing 4 sets, so 120 total squats. My plan is to increase our sets by 1 a week until we are at 10 sets of 30 or 300 squats.

My other friend, MD, has workout flash cards, illustrating all sorts of body weight exercises. Core strength is what they are currently into. Tonight, on our Zoom hang out, we talked about V-ups for a good 5 minutes .

Most days, MTB does hot yoga in the back room of our house, courtesy a space heater turned on high. Sadly, her online yoga class often freezes up We have a bandwidth issue and often at the same time she is doing yoga, I’m video conferencing for work. We tried to upgrade our internet connection, but that would mean some dude coming into our house to hook us up with a new modem. No thanks.

When we went to Target a couple of weeks ago, we’d been hoping to score a jump rope and some 20 lb barbells, but the workout and fitness aisles were almost laid bare. All that was left were some 3 lb weights, an exercise ball and a couple of yoga mats. It was unexpected. And the unexpectedness felt jarring.

I bought some new running shoes. I’ve had them for a week. So far all I’ve done in them is march up and down a single step stool for a half hour while watching episodes about Gwenyth Paltrow’s horrible Goop enterprise. But the weather has been crap. Cold and rainy, and I’m not going to start up running until the sun comes back out.

I can’t tell, am I newly interested in body or trying to keep my anxiety and depression at bay? Am I dabbling with some magical thinking that fitness is going to protect me or that fitness proves I’m ok? I think all of it’s true. And in the absence of testing, my fitness is a sign to me, that today, I’m ok.

Independents' Day

Haemoptysis is red flag for urgent Ca referral

As the largest representative body for independent care homes in England, the English Community Care Association took great offence at the ageist and inhumane attitudes exhibited by Dr Phil Peverley (Columnists, June 18).

Dr Peverley brought grave discredit on his profession, the majority of whom do so much to provide care and support for older people.

The attitudes expressed fly in the face of the core values of the health service and I hope that Dr Peverley's PCT will be taking action to ensure he is not allowed to practise while holding these opinions.

Residents of care homes are members of our community and have the right to expect the same dignity and health care services that are available to the rest of society. Many care homes are forced to pay GP retainers in order to receive a community medical service, and the column is a graphic example of the degree of ageism that exists in some parts of the system.

There is no excuse for anybody to make such comments because it demeans both the residents and the staff who work so hard to support them on a 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year basis.

If there is a real commitment to the eradication of ageism in health care Dr Peverley would be dismissed.

Fortunately most GPs do a marvellous job caring and supporting very vulnerable and older people both in residential care and in the community.
