Just about everyone in countries such as the UK, US, Canada, New Zeeland & Australia etc should have at the very least heard of the world famous Sci-Fi series DW by the BBC! Now that Dr. Who is back on television since 05 after it’s 15yr absence the serial has gotten considerably well known all over again, so mush so in fact that even the sci-fi channel has taken an interest in the TV series.
Doctor Who all began in November 1963 when it’s 1st episode aired on television taking the Doctor & his comrades back into the past where they helped some cavemen to use fire for the first time. When you take into account the all-new series DW is currently the longest running Sci-Fi series of all time!
With the huge popularity of DW, the BBC began making Dr. Who Audio back in the 70s for cassette and LP. The 1st releases were for the most part soundtracks from the TV shows with binding narration by the Doctors. But because of their popularity soon after stories were produced for Audio Book release only, often narrated by past Drs of the TV series.
To add to this the BBC began making radio episodes, again with past Drs who had played in the series, these stories were also made available in Audio format. Also a lot of of the lost stories have been re created by their original Doctors in the Audio Book format making them once more available to the general public once again. The range spans all the way though the first Doctor right up until the present Dr, David Tennant. Additionally Torchwood Audio & Sarah Jane Audiobooks have also been added in recent times.
On our planet today audio is even more popular than ever thanks to MP3 players. Audios help us to get more out of our increasingly busier days, as we can easily listen to them while doing other things like working out, house work, driving, and other activities that permit multitasking. Another reason why individuals like Doctor Who audio is because in many cases the audio stories are now read by the actors of the series. Parents also buy them for children entertainment in cars etc.
With the Doctor Who New serial going from strength to strength and more and more Audios being created available both from the old and new series & now from Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures as well, it looks like DW and DW Audio Books are here to stay for some time to come!

10. In reality you don’t succeed in life just because you are good looking and easy to get along with. Oh, wait, maybe that should be changed to “you don’t always succeed…”
9. In reality, women have a lot more unwanted body hair after being stranded in a jungle for 42 days.
8. You can go ahead and pretend you don’t fart in public, poop your pants, or talk to people with a booger hanging out of your nose – but in reality, this has probably happened to you.
7. In reality (unlike books, movies and television) people do lots of ordinary, meaningless things that don’t move the story along.
6. The only time it’s cool to wear a small square of fabric in 15 different ways in reality is if you have a job modelling ‘The Wonder Scarf’ on the shopping channel.

Those were the words I was greeted with yesterday at Riley’s annual Early Intervention evaluation. Riley no longer has any delays, in any area. That simple sentence literally took my breath away, as I realized that I have never been in a meeting about either of my twin boys and heard that they were developing completely “normally.” Usually, these meetings are difficult for me, as I am forced to focus on the areas in which the boys are not progressing as they should be. Of course, we always talk about the gains they have made. However, the bulk of our discussions naturally center on their deficits and on the fact that, since their premature birth, both of my boys have required intervention and therapy in order to learn what comes naturally for so many children. Both of my boys have been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP), and they have had physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and developmental therapy since they were two months old. These meetings can be grueling, and sad, and often leave me drained. Last night, though, I was absolutely elated and joyful! For the first time, Riley is meeting all of his developmental milestones exactly as he should be.
At his annual meeting last year, Riley was still commando crawling on his belly, and was not even able to crawl on all fours. I remember having a conversation with all of his therapists about whether or not he would ever be able to walk independently, and when they thought that might be. I burst into tears because I was so afraid that he was going to start to become aware that he was missing out on things when he saw his twin brother, Ross, begin to walk. I asked if he could try out using a walker and in January of this year, he started to use a walker for the first time. Then, there was a huge miracle in May, when he took his first steps all on his own. Now, in October, Riley walks completely indpendently, although he does have a slightly altered gait due to his CP. He still wears braces on his legs and probably will for some time. His balance is still not great and he falls often. He has a ways to go with managing steps on his own, running, jumping, etc., but, he is a million miles away from the little boy who made me wonder if he would ever walk on his own.
Riley’s language skills are right on target for his age. He says about 100 different words and he is now starting to use 2 and 3 words together once in a while. He is having a little bit of trouble pronouncing certain sounds and his speech therapist and I both believe that his CP is making it harder for him to move his mouth in certain ways, so he will still have speech therapy to address that. His fine motor skills are coming along beautifully, although he still has needs related to his CP that he will continue to address in OT.
This past year has truly been incredible for Riley, and while he does still have some challenges to face as a result of his CP, for today, I am basking in the glow of hearing “he no longer has any delays.”

We are camped beside the Colorado trouble here again stalks us, why can they not just leave us be we are fed,housed,and clean?
No children were ever more loved even if we lived in tents, we are here for special reasons it is life lessons grandmother teaches. We are here for a gather kin are coming who were scattered,grandmother walks away to a small hill this time I can not follow.
I hear her voice raised in prayer singing softly very old words,even the heart and spirit of a child of four understands this is sacred.
Suddenly all is chaos everyone is running lights are shining in our eyes,a white man in uniform demanding to see everything in our camp.
Someone he said reported wild parties, drugs, and drinking, instead he found us a simple extended family here to learn from the Water. Grandmother stood proudly before this man who sneered at her,head held high she told him we are here for connections to our spirits. You will find no evil things here only love and caring, we sing and drum sending our prayers upon the wind with sage and sweet grass only. They gave us only three days then we must move on, they did not like our kind he said hanging around making messes,we made the good folks nervous.
You people need to live like humans give those children real homes, but not here in our town there are enough here on welfare already.
He could not see or understand our life was the better one, not cramped into a small house but free to share the wind and see Father Sky above us.
To this day I am thankful for the childhood grandmother gave us,we worked hard and asked no one for handouts we lived the way of our ancestors.
No,our path was not an easy one we faced many troubles,yet we lived in freedom proud of who and what we were and learning from all
spirits!
granny!
we “cry” freedom, when in truth we beg for chains

From my experience you should only collect aret you like. Buying art for the sake of art is ludicrous. Only buy what you truly love and be proud to show it. Don’t let the price be your only deciding factor, in other words, don’t buy because the price is high and you feel that makes it more valuable. And don’t buy the art because it is all you can afford and you want to own something. Wait for the right price and the right artwork. You’ll feel good about it each time you see it hanging on your wall.
You can see some of my collected comic book art.
