Bridge Street, Cambridge. I was walking by here at 6.00pm today when there was a bang and this brand new Mini (08 plate, ie two month old vehicle) was then pushed over to where I was passing. So? Well, this is Cambridge and not only do you have to negotiate one-ways but you also have to be aware of bollards which rise up from the road and attack unwary drivers!
That's what happened with the unlucky family in this new car. You see, only taxis and buses can come along this road and the bollards automatically go down for them. As soon as they have passed the barriers start to go up. This car was coming along this road when the barrier was down but was hit as it tried to pass. That was the bang I heard. Startled by the bang, I instinctively reached for my gun... er camera ... and shot in all directions in defence:-)
On inspection, the occupants were OK but in a state of shock but the car, as far as I could see, was a total write-off and beyond reasonable repair. Sad. I am aware of one fatality in Cambridge in this sort of accident.

to write love on her arms is a movement that was started by a guy named jamie. basically it is to help those who are hurting.
It is estimated that 15% or roughly 17 million Americans suffer from depression.
It affects rich and poor, young and old, black and white.
2/3 are never treated.
They do not recognize the illness, and see it as a weakness or personality flaw.
Untreated depression is the most common cause of suicide.
In Australia, New Zealand and Japan, there are more suicides than murders.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people.
Depression is treatable.
Cutting was very much a mystery until 1996 when Princess Diana admitted that she had struggled with it.
Cutters use physical pain as an attempt to calm or numb the psychological pain. They cut the outside in an attempt release the pain on the inside.
Cutting is an attempt to stop the hurting, an attempt to be clean.
Cutters and addicts seek the familiar, even if it's pain. This is completely foreign to most of us.
Cutters believe pain is their only option, using greater pain as relief from the pain inside.
There is hope.

Mr Monster
a tribute to Forrest J Ackerman
by
Alan White
Alan writes:
Who can argue over the last 90 years, Forry Ackerman has stirred the gray matter of millions of fans the world over? Some to wonder, some to create, share, get involved, and more importantly, to think. The fact you are reading this is testament to Forry’s tenacity and love of life. And certainly, the legacy of the man will live beyond the pages, the movies, the collections, the conventions to all the people who will never know they’ve been touched by “Mr. Monster”, Forrest J (no period) Ackerman.
...
Whether you met Forry through the pages of some dusty tome, over a box of popcorn at a double horror matinee, a legendary Open House at the Ackermansion, the “Famous Monsters of Filmland” letter- column or shaking his hand at a convention, you are now charged with taking what you have and doing what you will to pass along the joy, the interest and enthusiasm that we all share to those less fortunate. If we don’t, then what does that say about ourselves?
IS THIS MAN SMILING?
105 boxes, a ton of treasures from my 62 years of collecting, went on the auction block in New York and for me it was a complete financial catastrophe and a personal tragedy.
“I hope you make a million,” said Don Wollheim in advance.
Anticipated Kenneth Galante, dealer: “You’ll make a billion!”
After the fact: “An unmitigated disaster” — Robert A. Madle, pioneer fan, collector, dealer.
“A horror chapter for New York Babylon”—Kenneth Anger, author of HOLLYWOOD BABYLON.
For the first issue, April 1926, of Amazing Stories I realized $36.
An inscribed foto of LON CHANEY SR, for which I anticipated wild bidding up to $5000, went for $50 ($40 to me).
With 3 issues of Schuster & Siegel’s “Science Fiction” currently in a catalog for $23,000, I expected the entire set by the creators of Superman would command $35-$50,000. (1 understand the world-class collection of Supermania is being leased to Cleveland for 5 years for $2 million.) My set: knocked down at $2750 ... less 20%
Two years ago I let go of my least favorite of three Brundage pastels for $25,000 (and no 20% commission to auctioneers). My second best (and, historically, her first published cover on Weird Tales) went for less than half that ... less commission!
Collectors' items were selling at 10%, even 5%, of estimated bids.
One dealer was heard to glee that what he bought for $80 he could sell for $500 ... Heinlein’s “Discovery of the Future” went for $600 (previously $1300 to a dealer) ... The 1912 “All-Story” featuring first publication of “TARZAN OF THE APES”, which the American Booksellers Association reported a couple years ago sold for something in excess of $8000 (and mine was inscribed by Edgar Rice Burroughs!) slipped away for $2500 ($2000 net to me) to a young Texas fan who decimated me afterward by informing me he’d been prepared to go $20,000!
It was a field day for buyers, “Freebie Time in the Candy Shop”; for me, Heartbreak Hotel. A major downfall for me was the lack of reserves on important pieces. I told the auctioneers in advance that I didn't want to part with a valuable piece worth, say, $25,000, for a tenth of its worth; that it should sell for at least no less than half its value; but they insisted that it was against their policy to have reserves: “You lose some but you win some and the bidders have to feel that it’s possible to get an occasional bargain” In reality, it was almost impossible not to get a bargain, and too late I learned that Vallejo and Frazetta et al did have reserves on their works: for instance, the highly-sought-after “Conan” was withdrawn when it raised (as I recall) “only” something like $42,500. My Brundage, “Tarzan”, “Fear” (Hubbard/Cartier), “Science Fiction” (Schuster & Siegel), inscribed Chaney and “Ghost of Slumber Mountain” posters definitely should have had reserves on them. The “Slumber Mountains” (no sleepers!) went for about one-third of what I paid for them and about one-fifth of what I (and others) anticipated they would fetch. Did it make sense for the Auction to profit 10 bucks on the sale of the Chaney portrait at the expense of a loss to me of a potential several thousand dollars??
Among those present at the debacle were Robert A. Madle, Erle Korshak, Julius Schwartz, Tom Savini, Boris Vallejo, Ron Borst, Mark Frank, Zacherly, Phil Riley, Sam Moskowitz, Stuart Schiff, Peter Michaels, EF Bleiler, Frederick C. Durant III, Barry Malzberg, John McLaughlin, Bruce Francis, Andrew Porter, Richard Bojarski, Harvey Clarke and David Hartwell, from Los Angeles, Texas, Canada, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, England and elsewhere. I have heard from Atlanta, France and Israel (!) that I was seen on TV. I think 499 of the approximately 500 present, told me I made their childhood or was their hero or idol or expressed some similarly warm and humbly appreciated sentiment. I was flattered that Isaac Asimov came with his wife and made opening remarks about me at the reception sponsored by OMNI. I have no complaint that I didn't receive all the (unexpected) egoboo one could ask for. But my goal of financial independence was radically unrealized. I won’t know for a month but my educated guess is that, after commission & taxes, I won’t wind up with more than $75,000 whereas my expectation had been for a sale in excess of half a million. Farewell, fond dreams, of another car (after 12 years), a vidicam recorder, money to restore & preserve important imagi-movie posters, spare cash to repay all major financial supporters of the Ackermuseum thru the years such as Mike LeVine, Bob Peterson, Charles Lorance, John Andrews, Peter Many Jr. et al, to invite quarter-century fan-correspondent Giovanni Scognamillo of Turkey to the Ackermansion at my expense, and in general play Scienti-Claus.

Oh, the things I can write about her. She's a) another impulse buy, b) my first ever girl, c) completely unplanned, d) another MSD, though I've promised myself to give up on that size and concentrate on the SD size I always wanted, and e) FRIGGIN' ADORABLE <3
This is Button, everyone :3 She's a KDF Kiwi from Luts, bought second hand and she's been loved to bits and pieces since she arrived. I can't believe she was for sale for several, long months(!) and no one wanted to buy her (even though the seller wanted only $120 for her, can you believe?). She has the company face up and is in great condition (considering yellowing I have nothing to compare to, but if so it's even).
As she's my first (only?) girl I had nothing at home for her, so on this pic she's wearing E.T.'s old gray shirt and a hat that's fifteen sizes too big for her x) I pinned it in the back with a toothpick to make it smaller. The wig was something I got from the previous owner but it really helped to get me started on a concept for her.
When the Swedish summer weather allows it, I'll give her a new face up. But until then, she's SO G'DARN PRETTY as she is, I just want to eat her. ARGHRNHG.
(Also, I need to highlight her teeth, for as it is right now, they're barely visible ;___; </3)

www.sfgate.com/entertainment/garchik/article/Dancing-in-t... ............................................................................................SISTER's of PERPETUAL INDULGENCE's 35th Annual HUNKY JESUS & FOXY MARY fun....The best thing about the Sister's show were the Marijuana 4/20 folks who incorrectly wandered into the Sister's party space...They were like "OMG, This is like , OZ, man."
Yes, it was.
Probably because it was the Sister's 35th Anniversary and it was an homage to the Wizard of Oz. The lawn in front of the stage was filled with red-paper poppies. There were several 'Cowardly Lions", many "Glenda the Good Witch", a couple of 'Bad Witches" including one on a bike...a very young 6-year old Judy Garland passing out Giradelli Chocolate, an awesome Scarecrow of indeterminate sex, a few Tin Men (and one obviously Tin Woman), and even a couple of 'munchkins'...yes, real little people. Though, ADDA DADA is happy to report that there were no Flying Monkeys.
THANK YOU to all the beautiful adults who let ADDA take their photos! (Everyone was properly asked & everyone consented.)

Sponsored by The Writing Center, Washington University Libraries, The First Year Center, The Office of the Vice Chancellor, and Stressbusters sponsored WUSTL's second-ever Write-In event on Wednesday, April 16, from 7 to 11 p.m. on the first floor of Olin Library. Writing Center staff and research librarians were on hand to answer questions, help with the writing process, and provide research assistance. Refreshments were served, and Stressbusters provided free back rubs for some stress relief during the writing process. Pizza was delivered at 9 p.m. to fuel the late-night writing.
