Kid keeping a lending library of banned books in her locker: Boing Boing:

“This happened a lot and my locker got to overflowing with the banned books, so I decided to put the unoccupied locker next to me to a good use. I now have 62 books in that locker, about half of what was on the list. I took care only to bring the books with literary quality. Some of these books are:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
His Dark Materials trilogy
Sabriel
The Canterbury Tales
Candide
The Divine Comedy
Paradise Lost
The Godfather
Mort
Interview with the Vampire
The Hunger Games
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
Animal Farm
The Witches
Shade’s Children
The Evolution of Man
the Holy Qu’ran
… and lots more.”

That damn show:

Over on The Tearoom of Despair, Bob Temuka makes a startlingly good case for the defense of the ‘60’s Batman show…(which of course, I don’t mind admitting, I loved as a kid and will still watch today with a big grin on my face as if a kid again..)

London Air Ambulance fund raiser..

Via my cousin Al…

Dear friends

It’s a year since my husband Mark suffered multiple and serious injuries in a racing crash at the Brands Hatch circuit in Kent. As well as breaking ribs, puncturing both lungs and suffering serious injuries to his left leg, Mark received a serious brain injury that left him unconscious. He spent the subsequent three weeks in a coma in the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, where he was taken by the London Air Ambulance.

Today Mark is recovering well and is spending his weekends at home with me, and he spends his weekdays at a brain injury rehabilitation centre in Northamptonshire. He has made amazing progress in the 12 months since the accident. He is now walking unaided and has even started ballroom dancing lessons with me, which would not have seemed possible just a few months ago. Having seen the efforts he has invested, and the recovery he’s made, I’m proud to say he’s my husband.

I’m convinced this recovery would not have been possible without the services of the London Air Ambulance, who flew in to Brands Hatch in fading light to collect Mark as his life hung in the balance. Air Ambulances across Britain are run as charities and myself, close friends and family have spent nine months raising funds for the London Air Ambulance, so far reaching £3500.

With the aid of my friend, Sam, we’re aiming to raise the final £1500 to reach my target of £5000 for the London Air Ambulance. We’re taking part in a 10km run round London, it seems apt to take part in this as it’s where I spent the first six weeks of Mark’s recovery.

Another group of our friends and family are aiming to raise a further £5000 by cycling from the western to eastern coast of England.

If you could see your way to donating towards this cause then I know it would be appreciated, and it will help keep the air ambulance flying to save some more lives.

Thanks for your time.

Al

raefox: web site problems.:

So. I’d created the site for thestickyfriends.com. When the url is typed in manually in a browser, or linked directly, it loads just fine.

However, if I search for “the sticky friends” in a search engine, the link for “The Sticky Friends” on google or bing results leads to a page of malware….

Hi Rae, This is just a wild stab is the dark, but could you be having trouble with a hacked .htaccess file (check http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21725720-Example-of-an-htaccess-hack or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/465997/my-site-was-hacked-htaccess-file-compromised-what-should-it-look-like for examples..)
