Artist shines a light on possibility.

Burnaby artist Elaine Lee may be just over two-feet tall, but what she lacks in

height, she makes up for in personality, with no pic unfortunately:(.

Altho, this is like the 3rd time I've come across this, I don't think the lp in

Fannie Flagg's new book has a major role in it. It's a novel, and actually to me

the lp seems to be just a very small part of it, but I could be wrong:

The off again/on again Half Pint Wrestling show in Bartlett, MO, which our own

Arnold has articulated on in his blog.

I personally don't care if they wrestle, but I do agree with on the name or

word used to attract people to see their show.

The article:

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20101121/news/711229889/

In article, " said 'midget' is merely a marketing term. No one would

>>>know<<< what 'little people wrestling' is, he said. " I disagree and they know

that would not be true.

's word on it:

I follow 's blog, perhaps not always agreeing with him, but he does writes

well:).

A You Tube on the Mini Gol by Volkswagen. I only include this as it has a female

lp this time with the lp guy that's sooo prevalently seen with the car:

I got this vid of the Mini Gol off an Asian website, but it originated on a

Brazilian website which I could not find on that website. Again, this vid has a

female lp with the same male lp, but this female is another one, and the this

time the car is actually driven and is yellow too! Woohoo!! I believe

Volkswagen of Brazil is actually thinking of manufacturing these 'cars' for lps,

no joke.

A & E creates (yet) another show about getting rid of stuff. It's called, Storage

Wars, and in an upcoming episode it will have 'a little person with stilts and

night-vision goggles, hoping he'll be able to see something in a unit that

others can't', I kid you not.

Jane Krawitz is on You Tube, but she is also on: www.vid3o.net, which I'm

guessing is sorta, kinda like You Tube. On this website she has put some of her

works in abbreviated form, 2 of which include us:).

HS students do Achondroplasia vid. It's done tastefully, I feel, I mean the best

they could do because sometimes they get a little silly... but hey, they're

kids. Tho, the blonde at 0:49 seconds and posing as a Geneticist/Doctor, I think

has one fact wrong. Isn't this more true: When 2 Achons marry and have kids,

their children could be the following: 25% average sized, 50% Achon, and 25%

Double Dominant Achon, but she says, 50% average. If you do choose to 'correct'

them, offline or directly on You Tube, remember they're kids;).

Acondroplasia ELL, Espanol, a vid. I believe this may have been already posted

by me, but this appears to be on a new website:

Kary Rojas encourages all who have or are near someone with Achondroplasia to

resign and not seek personal growth in every challenge, also in Espanol:

Discrimination against people with dwarfism

Translated into English: " People suffering from dwarfism several fronts remain

open for years. His complaints are directed to the requirement that they

recognize a number of rights that still lack the conditions to be fulfilled. A

report of Cermi reveals that discrimination is evident in six areas: the

official recognition of the status of disability, inclusive education, health,

social protection, access to employment and industrial relations and, finally,

the scope of personal and group image.

I believe this is an 'Inclusion' blog done by the disabled, in Espanol, but it

has many pics of lps in it, who are obviously too for he inclusion of everyone

in society:).

" Achondroplasia, more than a question of height. What is achondroplasia? Is a

genetic disorder of bone growth that is evident at birth. It occurs in about one

in 15,000 to one in 40,000 live births. Achondroplasia is the most common of a

group of growth defects characterized by abnormal body proportions. People with

this deficiency have very short arms and legs, while the torso is nearly normal

size.

The word Achondroplasia is derived from Greek and means " without cartilage

formation, although individuals with Achondroplasia do have cartilage. Normally,

cartilage into bone during fetal development and childhood, except in places

like the nose and ears. In people with Achondroplasia this process especially in

the long bones such as arms and thighs, bone tissue becomes too slowly,

resulting in shorter bones and short stature. "

The following is in, Dutch, and it's an audio only 'clip' of an lp in a reality

show over there, where I guess a couple of lps go to the jungle meeting people

who live there?? And you thought our (the USA's) reality shows were the

worse???

Translated into English:

" Lilliputians in the jungle. "

" Lilliputians to the jungle! Ruud called Edwin, one of the participants of the

new season of the TV show, Still In The Jungle. Especially the native peoples do

not know what they experience, according to Edwin took off before they had that

Lilliputians not work on batteries. " -The last sentence here did not make sense

to me, but that's how it's translated by Google.

I also translated the repliers comments, just to see what they had said. I like

the first replier, e, as well, as they inform the article on the correct

or preferred term for us:).

martine: 23/10/2010 - 13:37.

Most people do not like little midget to be called. It is basically a dirty

word! The correct name is short people or people with short stature.

There are over 200 types of growth disorders. Pseudo-Achondroplasia and

Achondroplasia, where the interview is discussed, there are two.

The true fact is not what the growth disturbance, Edwin, Pseudo-Achondroplasia

says. Even at these growth disorder, someone just like with Achondroplasia,

small arms and legs and a relatively long torso length.

In keeping with Thanksgiving, a holiday in the USA and I think in Canada too:P,
