[QUAD-L] UK Vehicle Scam- Don'tcha Know
From what I've been told by InTerPol, this scam is not that new. Someone in Europe, will respond to an advertisement and request personal information such as banking information, so that a wired money tranfers can take place, sometimes using Western Union as an agent. They will also use a person as their Agent in the USA to retrieve the vehicle. The problem occurs when the paperwork and deposits don't clear. This may take up to 2 weeks after the draft is entered and the bank processes the transaction. Has anyone else been exposed to something like this before. The point is: wired transfers aren't as safe as they once were and the scammers know this.

They later allowed a "varience" for the building so that a handicap accessible restroom could be added. A spokesman for Eastwood had told a reporter that Eastwood did not want to change the structure of a historic building just to satisfy the ADA. Eastwood denied stating it that way.

Re: [QUAD-L] Sure Hands
I have the sure hands overhead lift, but do not use the harness. I have had both of my hip joints removed due to both of them fusing, and I made my own harness. If anyone has seen a helicopter rescue on television, the harness that they use is simply a padded strap that one that would slide over their head. That is how I made my harness. I took one inch strap, put a piece of the black foam pipe insulation, covered that with a padded insert and put a cover on it. It does put all the weight on the shoulders and armpits, but I have been using it for 11 years and have had no problems, and my weight is around 225 pounds. Works for me! I don't need to get in an out of a harness, so it's quicker, and I believe less chance of sitting wrong. G. A.

Hi Corie, I have said before that going to see a movie, is just that, seeing a movie. I know enough about Mel Gibson to know what to expect from "The Passion.'' I know enough about Michael Mooreto know what to expect from ''Fahrenheit 9/11.'' I know enough about Clint Eastwood to know what to expect from''Million Dollar Baby.'' Would I advise anyone to convert, change their political party, or their opinion aboutassisted suicide from going to see any of these movies? Of course not. Do I think these movies reflect the views of their makers. Of course. Butif the USA is fighting so people in Iraq can be free, I respect the right for an American to be free to make movies.

My only complaint about the movie was that they could have portrayed the rehab hospital more realistically. I don't think nowadays they allow a high quad to get bedsores to that extent. They never showed her on her side or being turned. I realize Eastwood wanted to portray her life as miserable as possible to make the coach's decision to help her easier.

[QUAD-L] John Hockenberry's invitation
On Million Dollar Baby by John Hockenberry One can barely imagine how relieved the movie critics now climbing over themselves to defend Clint Eastwood were to see the right-wing media going after Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. Suddenly they were free to set the dispute into a broad culture war context as Frank Rich did last week. They were free finally to ignore the true outrage of the movie. These same critics failed millions of Americans with disabilities by accepting as utterly plausible the plot-twist that a quadriplegic would sputter into medical agony in a matter of months and embrace suicide as her only option in a nation where millions of people with spinal cord injuries lead full long lives. No, these critics would much prefer to talk about offenses against poor victimized directors, comparing Eastwood to last year's besieged Michael Moore rather than to talk about their own failings or about a group which has never had any standing in the culture wars. Plot twist is, in fact, an apt description of Million Dollar Baby's ending. A spinal cord injury followed by a dolorous slo-mo sipping of Eastwood's poetic hemlock avoids the inconvenient truth that a female athlete outside of basketball and perhaps professional mud-wrestling has virtually no opportunity to make a living in America. That might make a more plausible reason for suicide than the rationale Million Dollar Baby supplies. Hollywood loves this disabled suicide plot and Eastwood is hardly the only director to be enthralled with might be called the crip ex machina theatrical convention. How delusional is it for Hollywood to spend billions on teen flicks and big budget films where teens and youth culture star and yet there is practically never any mention that suicide is the number one public health concern for American teenagers, one of the leading causes of teen deaths? Somehow teen-suicide seems just nutty compared to depressed quadriplegics offing themselves. Maybe the plot twist Hollywood seems so desperate to defend isn't really assisted suicide. Maybe its Eastwood's own epic saga of slogging to the Oscar summit that gets these critics all misty eyed? As a right-wing culture war target, rather than an anti-disabled bigot, Eastwood and the critics can certainly avoid mentioning the director's high-profile campaign against the American With Disabilities act after he was sued for owning an inaccessible restaurant. The thought of insulting or offending millions of people who live full lives despite a myriad of restrictions on their freedoms and a palpable sense of impatience that we're not dead yet at all enter the minds of these movie culture warriors. Had it occurred to them, they might have mentioned that Rush Limbaugh and his gang were among the biggest critics of the ADA, have endorsed restrictions on healthcare support for people in need of long-term rehabilitation and have eagerly used disabled rights to further their own agenda when convenient. If Mr. Eastwood is so convinced that his film is grounded in reality then perhaps he might wish to accompany me to the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland where there are 1000 or so severely disabled soldiers from Iraq whose lives are changed forever, who were told they fought for Iraqi freedom and are now perhaps wondering, along with their families, who is going to fight for their freedom to live a full life here in America. As a paraplegic for three decades I can help them with that question. Would Mr. tough guy Eastwood and his new pals Frank Rich and Roger Ebert have the guts to defend Million Dollar Baby's plausible message of suicidal disabled people? Would they offer to helpfully pull the plug on these soldiers? How's that for a plot twist? Thank God there is another message of hope and strength inside Walter Reed and in pockets of sanity in this country. I pray that someday it's a plausible one in Hollywood and throughout America.

Hi, Not seeing the movie, actually hoping that some brazen folks disrupt the Oscars with their protest. Hard to believe that Hillary Swank describes the character as making the best of a difficult situation hmmm... I'd rather spend my time watching people like Dana Reeve who was just great on Oprah. I think the timing was wonderful that she came on to talk about Christopher's extraordinary life and his decision to live and not die. I was very moved by the show.

Not having enough time to sleep that I couldn't focus and not enough time in bed to get the swelling down because I have to take care of things after I get home and not having enough time to do it got to me physically and emotionally. I didn't have class to day so I said that's it, I'm going as high as I can locally so I called the transit director for the 3 counties. Well when I called it happened to be a time that he was getting ready to have a meeting with the paratransit director and another guy from the other county. He put me on speaker phone in the meeting. I explained what I have been going through and the director of the paratransit said she had heard about what has sorda been going on with not getting picked up on monday and said she was going to pull my folder when she got back the office and talk to the supervisor. When she said that I was a little worried b/c the supervisor had not really worked with me in past complaints but I got a wonderful phone call from that supervisor. They I suppose realized that they had make a mistake by offering a certain service then decided to take it back when they realized that they had made a mistake and said they would offer me the same service they were providing before and would do so until May. I am so glad that I had today off that I had a chance to make that phone call b/c before I didn't have any time in my day to do so. Now it's a matter of dealing with the woman that scheules my rides. She consistently gets my schedule wrong somehow. I think she does it on purpose b/c she doesn't like me and there isn't anything else she can get me for except to make me suffer or look bad to the drivers. I'm out for blood now. Look out LOL!!
