We have been upgrading our sign-frame range, and have added the frames shown. We can offer them in white, cream or black, and they look good. Lot’s of advantages.

Passing of an era

My mother, Lila Caldwell passed away peacefully Friday 21st May 2010, at 93 years of age. Inspirational to the end with her grace and strength, she will be missed.
Verses she liked were:
“I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an after-glow of smiles when life is done
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways
Of happy times, and laughing times,
And bright and sunny days.

Dear family and friends I have just slipped away
We may meet again amid friends and relations
Let’s look forward to the day

…Every experience God gives us, every person He puts into our lives
Is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see….”

Her funeral will be held in Kimba South Australia on Monday 31st May 2010, at 1:30pm Kimba UCA.

Mo’s end

info — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 07:55:23 +0000

A team of Mo bro’s (and sista’s) raised over $12,300 this year. A motley crew mainly in Adelaide, Kimba and Cowell, plus me on the Gold Coast.
The team was called “Patricia’s Hairy Lip” and we had 1 platinum member created.
Well done, guys.
Now we have a daunting new target for next year……

Movember madness on again

info — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:12:39 +0000

I am growing a moustache this year for Movember. I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.
What many people don’t appreciate is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime – many of whom don’t seek help. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.
To sponsor my Mo, you can either:
• Click this link http://au.movember.com/mospace/383764/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
• Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation’, referencing my Registration Number 383764 and mailing it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 292, Prahran, VIC, 3181
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Movember is now in its sixth year and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCFA) and beyondblue: the national depression initiative. Check out further details at: http://au.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.

Indigenous language book

info — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:09:46 +0000

My sister, Elizabeth Caldwell, has been involved for some years with a community mainly at Angurugu, on Groote Eylandt, and writes:
“Did I tell you about the Anindilyakwa number book, “Ambarrngarna” by Chris White? Thought you could mention it on your blog site. We sold out of the first printing quick as a flash with just local orders, so now we have re-printed and we have plenty to meet international demand (ha!) if the need should arise.
The book is simple and aimed mainly at parents or schools who wish to teach young people how to count to 20 in Anindilyakwa, however it is a vibrant and charming book that will open up newcomers to the language and some of its delightful features. For instance, the range of noun classes, and the mathematical precision of language structures.
Besides provoking the reader to new, deeper thoughts about counting, the reader will enjoy being put in touch with the bush foods of the Groote Eylandt area through the many photos.
The book gained instant notoriety when the first printing arrived, coming almost to the day at the same time as the southern newspapers were heralding some research done with children on Groote Eylandt, research which “demonstrated” that in languages where there were no words for counting more than one, two, and many, children still had a concept of counting in greater quantities. Pity they picked on Groote Eylandt, where people do have words for numbers up to twenty.
Children would have watched as women traditionally divided out collected turtle eggs into groups. True, a five year old may not have been taught to count yet, but on the days royalty money comes around they watch as the adults divide out their share, and numbers have an important function in daily life. Even Robin Williams from Radio National failed to check the facts!!
There are 54 pages, card cover, full colour, lots of photos, some word glossaries in the back, and even a few puzzles to test out what you can learn from your reading.
Cost: $25.00 each plus freight.

Corrosion-free boat furniture

info — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 06:35:36 +0000

One unusual job we had recently was for an adjustable backrest for a large cruiser somewhere in Sydney. The boat owner wanted to have some cushions on the fore-deck so his wife could enjoy the space with an adjustable backrest. We designed a frame that had full adjustment as well as folding flat on the deck. The rest of the cushions lay flat on the deck. It ended up a simple design, but there was quite a lot of thought that went into it.
