.
my father was Jacques Cousteau and my mother was Gertrude Stein
and by the time I was eight years old
I knew what I wanted to be
I wanted to live amongst the trees and feel my soul
expansive and free
but they would call me lazy

Donate your functioning but unused iPod or other MP3 player to a great cause:
Hopefully, by now you’ve seen the video clip of “Alive Inside,” the documentary capturing the wondrous results of elderly nursing home patients being re-introduced to the music of their youth. … Daniel Cohen, the man who initiated bringing mp3 players into nursing homes and thus sparked filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennet into making the documentary, is in need of more music players.
“There’s a huge need for iPod donations at many public and private nursing homes, where the interest from patients who miss their favorite music is far greater than the arrival of donated iPods to our collection centers,” writes Music & Memory, Cohen’s organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for the elderly through music.
If you have an old iPod that’s gathering dust, consider donating it to Music & Memory. The organization checks out—Cohen is the actual guy the documentary crew followed around for a year—so you can be sure your old iPod will go to good use. “We’ll accept old, new, used, and even broken or damaged iPod players that our volunteer team can check and repair if possible for use in one of our centers,” says Music & Memory. “Our residents don’t mind a few case scratches or decals.”

Urgent action required!!!
Ok, in follow up to my early blog post about cyclist safety receiving more attention in the media, here is a movement by the Green party to increase the fines for motorists who open their doors into traffic.
They are calling for people to share their stories on being “doored” and will use this evidence to hopefully push through a Bill and make a new law that drastically increases the penalties drivers face if caught.
Written submissions MUST be in by Friday April 27th 2012 so you’ll need to be quick!! It’s a great opportunity to share your “dooring” story, so please submit if you can. NOTE - This is only for those living in Victoria, Australia.
Seems i’m one of the lucky few that hasn’t been doored, but I hate the fact that it feels like a matter of when, not if……
Please reblog!
I ran into an opening door once (it was my fault) and I wasn’t even going very fast. I still have a scar on my right arm! Get on this, people. The less people being hurt the better!
