GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
II think that Sycamore is an awful school. My son is in special ed and he os an easy target for other students to pick on. My husband and I have had to speak with the principal several times about our son being bullied by other kids and my son has come home crying several times because of this I think they need to get their heads out of their butts and start dealing with the bullies in schools. Our son is going to Elliot ne t year.
I have very intelligent kids, so they do well in school in spite of the teachers and type of education they're getting at Sycamore. Almost every letter that comes home from the teachers has spelling and grammatical errors in it, which drives me crazy! The curriculum is also very "left-wing" slanted. My kids get more than enough diversity training, global warming, recycling, and green propaganda. I am constantly having to correct the indoctrination that is occurring with my kids. Fortunately the boys are very smart and can understand reason. There are two specific exceptions to the rule: Mrs. Steere (2nd Grade Teacher) and Mrs. Usiak (Principal) are both incredible. They're both tremendous assets to the school.
We transferred my son here after a bad Young-5s experience at a nearby charter school. Mr. Hornak worked with our son and was a fantastic influence in getting him started at school again. Now our son has Mr. Strong for Kindergarten, and he has also been a positive influence. I wouldn't recommend the childcare, but the school has provided understanding, help and a positive atmosphere for our son.
Staff genuinely care about students and families. They are learning to work with a broader range of students academically and emotionally.
As a former student of Sycamore and now the parent of a Sycamore Superstar I can truthfully say that Sycamore is the best of the best! The teachers truly care and go above and beyond to help kids!
The teachers at Sycamore are very caring and communicate well with parents. They have a strong math and reading emphasis, but need to focus more on writing. Their MEAP scores are consistently low in this area and my children left Sycamore with weak writing skills. Mrs. Reynolds, in child care, is outstanding. Sycamore provides a warm and positive environment for kids.
Sycamore school was a great school. I went there for four years and was sad to leave to go to Hope and then the Holt Jr.High. I still come to visit teachers there now and then. all my teachers were wonderful and nice to every there. I'm am now in the Jr.High building next to Sycamore the whole Holt district is very good. they have a great gym and music class. all the people at daycare are nice and all the teachers are to. some of my favorite teachers are at that school.
Hello, I have a daughter who goes to Sycamore currently as a school of choice student from Lansing. She is now in second grade, after her kindergaten year she was diagnosed with diabetes and has continued to go to Sycamore. The office staff and teachers have treated her wonderfully, and never made her or our family feel like an inconvenience. She bagan to have some learning glitches this year and her teacher ms. Mckay got with us and acted on them quickly and things have came around beautifully. I feel they are working well over there under Ms. Lattin's guidance. They have all been very involved and I would reccomend this school above any in the area, I feel fortunate that my daughter has been able to attend, and am pleased with her learning at the school.
I also agree that Mrs. Lattin could do more to create a warmer environment at Sycamore School. The teachers though are fantastic and I look forward to working with them each year. I currently have 3 children enrolled at Sycamore and one who has just left Sycamore for the middle school.
I agree with Susan, Mrs. Lattin needs to improve on her personal skills both with parents and students. This was my childs last year at Sycamore, it will be sad to not see the teachers and the day care staff that has been apart of our family's life for the past 8 years. Thank's Sysamore you have done well.
I feel that the school needs improvements, the Principal needs to go back to schooling and learn interpersonal skills with both students and parents. My son is behind in reading, math, while his sister and older brother go to Elliott and they are exceeding very well. My plan is to remove my son and my daughter from Sycamore and putting them into Elliott next year my husband and I have discussed that. If my son has to go to summer school to be up to his grade level for next year we will do that.
Hi,My name is... Mikayla I have gone to this school since I was in grade k they have great daycare staff,perfect teachers,great office staff including principal Lori Lattin.I love this school and I am sad to say next year ever since they put 5th grade into Middle School I will be leaving this school to go to another Holt school called Hope Middle School.
Sycamore Elementary is a wonderful school with teachers who go above and beyond the call of duty. Our daughter has a learning disability and received a great deal of support. She not only excelled in this school, but learned to love school and ask for help. The principal was very supportive and provided a lot of insight and encouragement to our daughter and to us.

Payday loans can be quite helpful especially if you are in need of a small amount of cash right away and you need it only for a short period of time. If you have the right spending intentions and if you use this type of loan wisely, you can get maximum benefits from a payday loan.
Despite its many advantages, payday loans have been at the centre of a number of arguments. Some people claim that this type of loan has led them into owing insurmountable amounts of debt. This is brought about by the fact that a lot of borrowers have misinterpreted how payday loans work leading them to unwittingly misuse the funds. That is the reason why it is imperative that you are aware of the advantages and potential drawbacks of the payday loan.
• Payday loans provide you with an option to get cash fast when there are no other alternatives. If you are faced with a financial issue and you the only answer is a quick loan that will tide you over until the next pay check arrives, the payday loan might be the best option that you have.
• Application to this type of loan is so uncomplicated. With payday loans, you do not have to undergo a credit check. As long as you are of legal age, you receive a monthly salary, and you have a bank account, you are eligible for a payday loan.
• Payday loans are released quickly, therefore, they are convenient. Most loan providers are accessible online and this cancels out the troubles of being interviewed, filling out all of the necessary paperwork that usually comes with traditional loans, and waiting in long lines. Once you have answered all the questions on the lender's website, all you need to do is wait for a few minutes and if you are eligible, your loan application will be approved shortly and the funds be deposited into your account within a few hours.
Because of the risk involved on the lender's part, payday loans are generally more expensive than other types of loans. And because of the massive costs linked with this type of loan, if you do not handle your finances well, it can be difficult to get out of them. The trick is to make sure that you pay your debt before it matures.
Payday loans can be great sources of funds and with the right frame of mind, you'd be able to get the most out of them.

When it comes to the NHL playoffs the number one thing you must have is goaltending. We've seen it the past two years
with the Champion Los Angeles Kings who rode Jonathan Quick to the cup and the year before with the Boston Bruins riding Tim Thomas to the cup.
In fact if you look at both playoff years 2011 and 2012 you see that even the conference final teams had great goalies that propelled them to how far they went.
2011 Western Conference final goalies: Antti Niemi and Roberto Luongo
2011 Eastern Conference final goalies: Dwyane Roloson and Tim Thomas
2012 Western Conference final goalies: Mike Smith and Jonathan Quick
2012 Eastern Conference final goalies: Henrik Lundqvist and Martin Brodeur
So you can see that great goaltending can take you places this time of year.
So I'm gonna rank all the goalies 1-16 for the playoffs this year- based on how well I think they will play in the playoffs.
16. James Reimer- Toronto Maple Leafs
15. Niklas Backstrom- Minnesota Wild
14. Braden Holtby- Washington Capitals
13. Evgeni Nabokov- New York Islanders
12. Brian Elliott/Jaroslav Halak- St. Louis Blues
11. Corey Crawford- Chicago Blackhawks
10. Marc-Andre Fleury- Pittsburgh Penguins
9. Craig Anderson- Ottawa Senators
8. Tuukka Rask- Boston Bruins
7. Viktor Fasth/Jonas Hiller- Anaheim Ducks
6. Antti Niemi- San Jose Sharks
5. Cory Schneider- Vancouver Canucks
4. Carey Price- Montreal Canadiens
3. Jonathan Quick- Los Angeles Kings
2. Henrik Lundqvist- New York Rangers
1. Jimmy Howard- Detroit Red Wings
If I were predicting who would win based on my goalie rankings then I would have the Red Wings beating the Rangers in the Stanley Cup Finals.

From the Bats (checking to see where this leaves Rick Sweet):
Former Louisville Redbird David Bell will manage the Louisville Bats in 2012, marking the first time since 2004 that someone other than Rick Sweet will serve as skipper of the Bats. Joining Bell, who spent the last three seasons at Double-A Carolina, on the coaching staff will be Ted Power, who returns for his seventh season as pitching coach for the Bats, and hitting coach Ryan Jackson.
Bell, 39, was manager at Double-A Carolina from 2009 to 2011 and compiled a 176-239 record. The 2009 season marked his first as a manager or coach at the professional level and this will be his first season at the Triple-A level. Bell played parts of 12 seasons in the big leagues with the Indians, Cardinals, Mariners, Giants, Phillies and Brewers. A member of one of Major League Baseball's three-generation families, Bell is the son of former third baseman, Buddy, and the grandson of former Reds great, Gus. He played for the Louisville Redbirds from 1995 to 1997 and is just one of four players in Louisville franchise history to hit for the cycle.
Ryan Jackson, 40, enters his first season as Louisville's hitting coach. It will mark his sixth season in the Reds organization and he spent the last three seasons as hitting coach at Double-A Carolina. Jackson enjoyed an 11-year professional career that included parts of four seasons at the Major League level with the Marlins, Mariners, and Tigers.
Former Redbird Ted Power, 56, will enter his seventh season as Louisville's pitching coach. Power enjoyed a 13-year Major League career, including five seasons (1983-87) with the Reds.

WEDNESDAY, June 15 (HealthDay News) -- Medical advances have
enabled roughly 12 million U.S. cancer patients to look beyond
survival and plan for the future. But for many of these survivors,
the future includes high medical costs, researchers say.
In fact, researchers from Penn State found that, on average,
cancer survivors pay up to $5,000 more each year in medical care
costs than people who have never had cancer.
Using national data from the U.S. Medical Expenditure Panel
Survey, the investigators researched cancer survivors ranging in
age from 25 to 64 years. The survivors were matched with similar
people who never had cancer, in order to determine how the disease
continued to affect their health care expenses over the long
"The fact that so many more people are surviving for a long time has shifted the attention of the oncology community -- as well as public health officials -- away from a focus simply on treatment and keeping people alive. Now they are starting to think about life after cancer," Pamela Farley Short, Penn State University professor of health policy and administration, said in a university news release.
The study, published in the June 15 issue of the journal
Cancer, found that as a group, most cancer survivors in the United States are women, whites, unmarried (single, divorced or widowed), and publicly insured. Despite these findings, the researchers also revealed that men paid 16 percent of cancer-related increases in health care out-of-pocket, while women paid 9 percent out-of-pocket.
Cancer survivors are at greater risk of encountering health
complications down the road, and their total medical expenses,
including prescription drugs, average about $9,300 each year, the
researchers noted. As a result, more study on the long-term health
and economic effects of cancer is needed, the authors added.
"This research is also important because cancer survivors are a sympathetic group for calling attention to the challenges that many people face in paying for health care," said Short. "Almost everybody has a friend or someone in their family who's had cancer, so it resonates. In a way, I think cancer survivors are poster children for a lot of the issues that we face as a society in considering whether and how to proceed with health care reform."

Secondary Drowning & Keeping Children Safe around Water - 28/08/14
Elaine Walker of the JEP asked St John Ambulance for advice about secondary drowning. If a child goes underwater or has a near drowning experience and then appears to have recovered, parents should still take their child to hospital straight away. Secondary drowning - sometimes called "delayed" or "dry" drowning - can occur hours after a person survives an underwater drowning experience. The individual may appear to have recovered, but the inhaled water is absorbed into the lungs and can damage the membranes necessary to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The primary expenses of research ship operation are crew costs, fuel costs, maintenance and overhaul, technical and shore support, and consumables. These costs for the UNOLS fleet between 2000 and 2008 are shown in Figure 5-1. Crew and fuel costs are the two largest single components of total research vessel operating costs, accounting for approximately 50 percent of total operating costs in this period, although the impact of fuel costs on total costs more than doubled over nine years. While "all other costs" also appears to be a significant factor, it is driven by fleet indirect costs, which are proportional to direct costs. Indirect costs make up between 37 and 46 percent of the category's costs, while the rest of the category (food, insurance, equipment and supplies, travel, shore facility support, and miscellaneous costs) has individual costs of approximately $3 million or less per year.

When it comes to watching basketball, I much prefer watching college basketball to the NBA. Many people disagree, but that is a story for another day. I prefer watching college basketball but I love the unpredictability of the NBA free agency, draft, and trading period. The college basketball equivalent is recruiting, but that takes place over the whole year. This could never happen in college basketball, based just on the definition of "student athletes." But if trading was allowed in college basketball, one possible trade stands above the rest for me, Duke's Quinn Cook for Ohio State's Aaron Craft.

Some quick Royals links to share while watching NFL football.
Yesterday, John Sickels posted 3 "random player comments from his 2010 Baseball Prospect Book. One of those three players was Kansas City Royals prospect Johnny Giavotella. Click here to check out what Sickels had to say about Johnny-G. You can pre-order a copy of the book by going to www.johnsickels.net. It is scheduled to ship on February 2nd, 2010. I can't wait to get my copy.
As if one Royals prospect report wasn't enough, this morning Baseball Beginnings published an updated scouting report on Mike Moustakas. Click here if you are up for it, but I warn you that Bob Hamelin's name appears.
So based on these two reports, Giavotella is a below average defensive 2B with good strike zone judgement, and Moustakas is profiling as a 1B/DH type with the body of John Kruk. Not exactly the good news I was hoping for.
On a completely unrelated note, our Florida Panthers (NHL) site, The Rat Trick, is in a "Panthers Blog-Off." Head here if you want to register and vote.

Those of you who followed my blog before I deleted it and restarted it will know about a guy who I was seeing for a mere few weeks before he jetted off around the world travelling. I was infatuated with the boy, when he left I was devastated. Cry in his jumper on my bed for hours, smelling it like a crazy lady. What a mess!
Well he has returned and to be honest with you it is a bit of a head fuck – excuse my French. I don't think I see him like that any more, he has been gone for six months now and we have both been with other people. I have seen him twice since he has returned and things are just not quiet the same. That joyous click isn't there. Which is a shame, but also probably a good thing seeing as he is off again in a Month and I am off in four to Australia. Saying that I think we will both end up down under anyway…
In my head I just want to be friends with him, I know it is the right thing to do. But for some reason my brain isn't connecting that and cutting off the confusion. I DON'T KNOW WHY! It is really, really… really! annoying.
Only a few boys have messed my head up like this and he is one of them for sure. I don't want to have that with him any more, but I think the memory of how good it was before he left is hard to shift. We both feel the same, it is different now. But I don't understand if that is the case why it is floating around in my head so much and confusing me. I am usually very logical about these things.
I hate how much he confuses me, how much he is confused, how much worse it makes my sickness, I hate how my brain won't just detach from the confusion. I don't understand why this is causing me such a head fuck :/ excuse my French.
I feel like punching something, wailing hysterically, or doing something reckless with how much confusion this has created over something that in my head should be simple:
I know we should be friends.
I know things are nothing like they are before.
I know we are both going away again.
I know neither of us feel how we did before.

Knob Hills Trail is a 11 mile out and back trail located near Roanoke, Texas that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
Robert Dodge (243)

I liked this trail for the speed you get for most of the trail. The scenery varies from wooded area to open and slight hills! I had a good time on this trail but IMO there are much better options. I DO NOT like the two way traffic as I almost hit another biker head on around a blind corner. Be careful and loose the earbuds. I prefer single track. Not very well marked, I took a path and ended up on a roadway, used GPS to get back on track.

I am new to the DFW area and have mountain biked several trails around the metroplex. Knob hills is one of my favorites. Offers a good workout in the beginning and end on the singletrack a long flat in the middle lets you open it up a little.The trail is well maintained and a new section opened up a few days ago. The new area offers a few drops and climbs and a lot of turns definitely added some fun to the trail. Will continue to use this trail as it is not real crowded(yet). Good for beginners and intermediate riders.
Pierre-Alexander Khordoc (241)

I thoroughly enjoyed this trail due to the speed I was able to catch. be careful if mapping from the dorba website as it will take you to a different entrance.
I completed the 14 miles in 1.5 hours and stopped about 3 times.
Do be careful as several passages are 2 way and if you're the type to listen to music with both earphones you may not hear the other bikers coming.
much further out in comparison to northshore and horseshoe but worth the drive.

Out and back trail for bikes. Both ends of trail have some good hills rocks roots etc. The middle section is flat. Not as challenging as northshore but much less crowded.

Good trail. There are sections for beginners and tougher sections. It's not really technical in the sense of tight turns and crazy hill drops or anything, but some paths are pretty rocky and hard to navigate. LOTS OF SNAKES!! The trail takes you through many cool scenery experiences, from a forest to riding the rim along a Texas creek. Definitely a great trail for beginner since there is pretty much everything you'll need to train on. Good outing!
Austin Little (155)

Not a huge fan of this trail. But, it is good for what it is, which is either a running trail or a beginner MTB trail, in my opinion. My friend and I ride North Shore (in Flower Mound) a lot, and decided to go here just to mix it up. We were both pretty disappointed. I guess we simply had false expectations. However, like I said, if you are a runner or a beginner mountain biker, this is a good trail for you. It is pretty well marked, but not very well groomed. Anyway, once you get past the "beginner" stage on your bike, head to North Shore in Flower Mound. It's not far away at all and will give you so many more options.

I did a little over 5 miles on this trail today (8/18/13). It was busier than I expected based on what I'd read about it, but not so busy that it was problematic. The first mile or so out is through a wooded area, with lots of ups and downs (my trekking poles came in handy!), then the trail flattens and gets sunny. Both the guidebook I have and the alltrails map indicate a side trail that leads to the water, but I couldn't find it. The final mile back to the trailhead is wonderful, hilly with interesting views. I didn't see any wildlife other than a squirrel and a cardinal. I almost got a great pic of a butterfly, but a mountain biker showed up at just the wrong moment! All in all, I like this trail, but it's a 20 mile drive from my house, so probably not one I will frequent.
Fernando Calderon (288)

First time on this trail. Fun and fast trail, good intro to people interested in trail running with a good running background. After running other trails at Lake Ray Roberts, I found this trail to be a bit flat. The scenery varies which gives it a plus on my book. It is not a loop trail so just keep an eye out for mtn bikes. Overall, good experience. Will go back and explore more paths.


text: Stefan asked a few questions about my banquet from 2002. I shopped a number of ethnic grocery stores prior to this feast and came across a small package of tamarind there. It wasn't very expensive so I bought it. The tamarind was a different color than the other candied fruits so I put it out in small dish for the table. Sometimes creating these tables takes dishes of certain colored items to show to advantage other dishes and plates. This was back when I was on candying kick and acquiring items that had been candied was part of that pursuit. Tamarind shows up in Indian cookery; it is also a part of Persian and Arabic cookery. It shows up in a drink in An Anonymous Andalusian Cookbook. ---------- The taai-taai dough is one of those odd things. I was at the time on a tear trying to figure out the best way to recreate the Dutch letter cookies that are seen in many still life paintings. (See them here in a painting by Osias Beert- Still Life with Oysters and Pastries. http://www.wga.hu/support/viewer/z.html ) They have a marzipan or almond paste filling that is surrounded by a pastry or cookie dough. If you cut into the pastry, the filling is exposed and shows. The description that I wrote up about them back in 2002 is as follows: Letter Cookies and Taai-Taai Cookies— Are seen in various Dutch and Flemish paintings in the late 16th and 17th centuries. HRM Alys gave a lecture on Dutch paintings featuring foods at the Midrealm Cookery Conference last December and talked about these cakes. I happened at that time to have at hand the Gillian Rilley article on letterform cookies from Gastronomica. I have not to date managed to locate a "period" recipe for these cookies. Knowing that they existed and what they looked like has helped, but I've not yet found a 16th or 17th century recipe. The cookies offered here were made using a very traditional recipe suggested by the new 2002 Prospect Books volume Windmills in My Oven. A Book of Dutch Baking by Gaitra Padrach-Chandra. This is the first history of Dutch baking to appear in English. From my first experience making these, I would tend to agree that they used a mold to form them. I used the same dough to produce the stamped rose cookies. The freehand letters are not very satisfactory but give some idea as to what must be done to get a more appropriate letter cookie. ---- I have made them since using molds and they work much better. The Gastronomica article is in volume 1, number 1. It's described here: "Eat Your Words!" Seventeenth-Century Edible Letterforms by Gillian Riley Expansive, illustrated article on Dutch still life painters and the rise of letterforms within these paintings. Note: An example of a letterform would be the letter "B" formed from dough. With a sixth-page, full color recreation of Clara Peeters' Still Life with Artichoke, 1612, a full-page, full color detail from Peeters' Candle, Sweets and Wine, 1607, full page, full-color presentation of Willem van Mieris' Grocer's Shop, 1732, half-page, full color print of Osias Beert's Still Life with Artichoke, no date given, and a two- page, full-color offering of Pieter Claesz's Still Life, 1625-1630, a half-page, full color print of Peter Binoit's Still Life with Letter Cookies, ca. 1615, and lastly, a page-and-a-half, full color of Clara Peeters' Still Life with Gilt Goblet, ca. 1612. http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?/topic/30910-digest-gastronomica/ --------------- Windmills in My Oven. A Book of Dutch Baking by Gaitra Padrach-Chandra is still in print. It's by Prospect Books. Full of traditional recipes. She has another good book out about baking. ------------ One other source that should be mentioned came out later in 2002. That's Matters of Taste. Food and Drink in Seventeenth Century Dutch Art and Life by Barnes and Rose which was the catalog for . They are discussed on pages 32-33. A recipe was also posted to Coquinaria.nl in late 2004- see http://www.coquinaria.nl/english/recipes/speculaas.htm Under Pastry Letters you can find a number of recipes now for how to make these cookies. Bakeries apparently make them now with chocolate or dip them in chocolate. Here's a traditional recipe for the filling. Note it says just use a rich pastry dough. Banket Gebak Have a rich pastry dough chilled and ready to roll. Mix: 1 lb. sweet almonds 2 C. sugar 3 eggs grated rind of one lemon water Grind almonds fine, add sugar and lemon, beaten eggs and enough water to make a firm mixture. Roll pastry quite thin into a long strip. Place almond filling on pastry and roll like jelly roll. Do not make roll thicker than two inches. Cut and form into letters desired. Bake until light brown. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. http://www.pellatuliptime.com/historical-village/history/recipe/recipes.html Hope this helps Johnnae On Nov 9, 2009, at 2:02 AM, Stefan li Rous wrote: > Johnnae replied to me with: > Menu/article is at > http://www.mkcc.rhawn.com/MKCCfiles/RoseTournament2002Desserts.html > > <<< Tamarind candy?

Say hello to Sabine J. Priek, we think the J. stands for Jiggly, the latest and greatest British sensation glamour model to break big in the future Kingdom of Bill and Kate, featured in the current edition of Nuts magazine, and, well, good God boobs almighty. Granted, Sabine J. Priek is a Latvian transplant to Jolly Old (so, shoutout to Latvian hotness), but this is still another nice notch in the funbag fineries offered up by the British Empire.

Starting Lineups: Are Gamers Athletes?A Sports Scribe, Video Games — By J. Clinkscales on December 24, 2013 at 9:17 am
Years ago, my best friend and New York Amsterdam News reporter Stephon Johnson and I had a debate on what's really a sport and what isn't one. This was about a decade ago when ESPN began showing the World Series of Poker during prime time hours while the NHL's coverage was (coincidentally) declining. Poker was all the rage for a couple of lazy summers but, at least on ESPN, receded back to a spotlight just larger than the one afforded to PBA bowling on football Sundays. Those early 2000s inspired that discourse between Johnson and me where we would pick a competition and debate its merits.
Golf. Chess. Cheerleading. Racewalking. Gaming.
Gaming would have been quickly dismissed in our younger years, and though this Scribe would remain skeptical about its status, a recent article provided some perspective.
For WIRED Magazine, Kevin Morris adds a defense for video gamers in the opinion piece, "Gamers Are Not Only Athletes, But the Internet Has Changed the Definition of 'Sports.'" He posed the question thanks to the monies earned by some international heavyweights in the gaming world.
People like to watch other people play games. That's been clear ever since a bunch of Cro-Magnons first lined up on the edge of their cave to see who could throw a rock the farthest. Combine this almost instinctual urge with the spectacle-making powers of broadcast television and mass consumerism, and it's no surprise that just about every playground game has turned into a multibillion-dollar-a-year spectator sport — from baseball and cricket to basketball and football (in its many incarnations).
But nowadays, kids who play, say, baseball, are a minority compared to the ones playing videogames. In the U.S. alone, more than half of the population plays videogames and, on average, every U.S. household owns one gaming console. The worldwide gaming market will total $93 billion in 2013.
When the current generation says "playing a game," they really mean "playing a videogame."
Plenty of our readers are gamers. You've camped out for a system or a game at least once in your life. You've scheduled your lives around weekends full of the latest incarnations of GTA. There's a good chance you watched an episode or two of ESPN's "Madden Nation" and said, "This chump ain't played me yet."
As you read the rest of the article, ask yourselves if your gaming is worthy of sporting status or if this is a reach, even for those who consider themselves hardcore gamers.
A few links on your Christmas Eve. On behalf of the staff here at The Sports Fan Journal, Merry Christmas to those who observe, happy time off for those who do not and happy holiday pay for those who have to work.

"Dexterity experts", maybe. Not athletes. A sport is played in real life, not on a screen.
Now if you asked me, "in 2095 when all we do is stare at screens, will gamers be considered athletes?", I'd say yes.
Athletes no but big time competitors, yes

GWAR Singer Bows Out of Randy Blythe Defense Fund Benefit Show
GWAR vocalist Oderus Urungus, aka Dave Brokie, has regretfully announced his exit from an upcoming Randy Blythe benefit show that was due to take place Aug. 31 in Richmond, Va.
GWAR vocalist Oderus Urungus, aka Dave Brokie, has regretfully announced his exit from an upcoming Randy Blythe benefit show that was due to take place Aug. 31 in Richmond, Va.
Intergalactic metal merchants GWAR are set to pillage the Earth once again with their announcement of a fall North American 2012 tour. Coming along for the ride will be DevilDriver, Cancer Bats and Legacy of Disorder.
Gwar singer Oderus Urungus was one of the first artists to not only support Lamb of God's Randy Blythe after he was arrested in the Czech Republic, he was also among the first to single out the lack of mainstream media coverage for the musician.
GWAR front-thing Oderus Urungus recently lashed out at the American mainstream media for largely ignoring the arrest of Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe on apparent manslaughter charges in Prague, Czech Republic. The always opinionated Urungus lashed out in a series of tweets, calling for further coverage to increase awareness of Blythe's unfortunate situation.
Is this what Janeane Garafalo's brains look like? If so, we applaud her, because this is a whole new step when it comes to dedication.
The passing of GWAR guitarist and metal mastermind Cory 'Flattus Maximus' Smoot left a gaping hole in the world of metal, as fans worldwide mourned the death of Smoot in a number of ways. Although the strummer / alien has departed this Earth, his legacy now lives on through his kin, as Smoot's daughter, Corie, was born last night.
GWAR are perhaps the greatest metal band to ever come from outer space. Thusly, frontman Oderus Urungus isn't afraid to speak its mind. In one of Urungus' trademark onstage rants, the alien lifeform put Hellyeah on the chopping block during a show in Buffalo, N.Y.
GWAR frontman and super alien warlord Oderus Urungus was the guest on Full Metal Jackie's radio show this past weekend. The 43 billion year old monster talked all about the new horror sitcom he's in with Dee Snider c

Please—please write a book on the new Sony a6000. This will be my last camera. (I am turning 80) I want this camera to be my best friend. I grew up in my dad's dark room. It was love at first sight when computers and digital cameras came together. Soon please. You have done so well on the nex 7 and A7/A7r. If I was a little richer I would have gotten the A7 but this is just for my selfish self.
Thanks a million
Sony A6000 book is in the works. Between it and the A7r, I'm not sure which I like best. I love compact cameras!
My friend gave me your name as she is thrilled with your ebook for her Olympus camera. Do you have one for Pentax K 5 Mark II?
Unfortunately, I no longer cover Pentax cameras. I'm glad your friend is enjoying her Olympus camera.
David will you be putting a manual the new Canon Gx1 Mark11 out in the near future. Love your 7D manual, thanks, Jan
My original Powershot GX 1 book sold very few copies, so the publisher won't authorize a followup version for the new camera. Sorry.
Hi David. I second the wish for a book on the Sony a6000. Your name was highly recommended by my local camera store. Any idea when it might hit the market?
Finishing it up right now!

Health & Balance
Disarming the TV
Health Hazard continued...
"Censorship just gives TV the lure of the forbidden fruit," says Cantor, author of Mommy I'm Scared: How TV and Movies Frighten Children and What We Can Do to Protect Them. "By the age of 12, watching scary or violent TV shows -- and showing you can handle it -- becomes a rite of passage."
Instead of cutting the cord, Cantor and many other media experts urge parents to watch with their children. "Parents need to be more aware of what their kids are watching," says Jeff McIntyre, a spokesman for the American Psychological Association. "And the whole family needs to ask, 'What's the message of this show? And do we agree with it?' " In this way, parents can teach kids how to analyze the images that will bombard them for the rest of their lives.
Woody Woodpecker
Cantor and a colleague set out to test whether this kind of teaching works by performing a study reported in the winter 2000 issue of the Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media.
The researchers divided 351 elementary school kids into three groups. One group watched a cartoon in which Woody Woodpecker repeatedly attacks a "tree medic" who has accidentally disturbed his nap. A second group viewed the same cartoon and was asked to think about the feelings of the victim. A third "control" group didn't view the cartoon at all.
Next, researchers asked the children about their attitudes toward fighting. Girls' answers were the same in all the groups, suggesting that their views were unaffected by the cartoon. Boys who thought about the victim's feelings responded about the same as boys who hadn't watched the cartoon. But boys who watched Woody Woodpecker without being asked to think about the consequences of violence were significantly more likely to approve of pushing and hitting. The results show that parents could easily influence the effects of a violent program, the researchers concluded.
Margaret Wilkinson, PhD, a Santa Barbara, Calif., psychologist, says she works hard to put this principle into practice with her own 9-year-old, Annalisa. "When we watch a show and a character behaves badly, I always ask, 'Does this happen at school, with any of your friends -- and if so, how did you handle it?' "
If she can't be in the room for the entire program, says Wilkinson, she at least checks in from time to time. "When the volume on the TV goes up, I get in there fast. The noise level is a cue that there's something controversial going on."

This Saturday (6/7/14, 10am-3pm) at the African-American Cultural Center (762 Fulton Street) the San Francisco Community Land Trust will host a Town Hall Meeting. Among others, these workshops will feature two speakers, one from The John Stewart Company, a national prominent HUD management company, and a lawyer from Goldfarb & Lipman, a large national law firm with strong practices on HUD housings. Continental breakfast in the morning and fried chicken, egg rolls, chow mein, and other yummy Chinese foods for lunch. It's only two blocks away from us on Fulton St.
All Freedom West residents, especially committee members, present and former Board Directors, should attend this event because your attendance will debunk any of HUD's and the government's contention that Freedom West people don't deserve to live in a cooperative. If you still want to live in Freedom West in six months, attend the workshops. If you find the normal lame excuses not going, like doing laundry or washing your car, the government would say we don't deserve to be a co-op at all since none of us cares. Click freedomwestdave.blogspot.com for my reasons. This is the start of my education series on co-operatives. You would need to know all these postings for us to survive.
Workshop topics include:
Co-op Finance and Budgeting
Catt Olazabal of WAGES, a non-profit that develops housecleaning worker cooperatives, and Mary Carleton, SFCLT staff, will present co-op financial statements and how to understand what they say.
Annual Board Elections and Shareholder Participation
Carlos Aznar a regional manager of The John Stewart Company, and Karen Tiedemann of the law firm Goldfarb and Lipman, LLP will present the democratic open process of Co-op governance and the vital role shareholders play in maintaining governance of their property
Organizing and collaborating to increase political and financial power in San Francisco
Organizing meeting #1
Meet in small groups to plan:
*Banking Services Improvements for Co-op Members and Co-ops
*Effective Lobbying for City Neighborhood Services and Co-op Support
*Inter-Co-op Collaboration - joint training, mutual support
*Resource "library" of trainers, translators, contractors, homeownership venues to advertise in
The following is an excerpt from a book I read:
"Many cooperatives were started by people with little knowledge of cooperative principles. I have seen societies in which no member and no director knew what the Rochdale Principles were. Failure always befell them. This was because they violated cooperation out of sheer ignorance, and converted their societies into confused business enterprises. But despite the information made available by The Cooperative League, there are now many cooperatives in the United States in this same condition. Failure awaits them unless they engage in cooperative education…. Their idea was that they would learn cooperation by practicing… Most fail before the members can learn about cooperation... It has been demonstrated that education should precede cooperative business. This is what made the difference between failure and success."
This is why I ask all of you go attend the Town Hall Workshops. Freedom West was a complete co-op failure and it was pre-destined forty years ago. Everyone supposed to knew how to cooperate before moving in or admitted to be members. Co-op members are special breed, not your regular folks. Instead, all the regular Joe Schmo just got shuffled into Freedom West in its creation and we are still doing it the same way. The way our co-op got put together was like putting the cart before the horse.
The theory was the Management was supposed to have taught all Freedom West shareholders how to be cooperators and have everybody practiced to be cooperators. Well, we all knew not only those screwy managements didn't teach us but together with those previous ignorant boards messed our co-op up big time. Our dismal history just showed that proposition didn't work.
Even the board we have now, as nice as the individual members are, is destined to fail, because no members have any knowledge of cooperative principles. After got elected, the new board members had been fumbling along without themselves realizing it. I proposed the entire board should go to St. Francis Square board and committee meetings and see how they run its successful co-op but none bothered. Not too many attended Land Trust classes and take leadership to organize our community. Board members still thought the Land Trust fifth column to infiltrate us and help the city to take over Freedom West. I don't think anyone on any Freedom West Boards, not now, not forty years ago, knew what the Rochdale Principles are and how they're to apply to our co-op, not to speak of them teaching the rest of us. I witness all too often in board meetings and buried my head in bewilderment. Now you understand why I feel better on sabbatical because I don't need to bury my head anymore.
I may be complaining about our present board members. But that's not personal because they were set up to be doomed from the beginning because of the original sin perpetrated from our creation forty years ago. We all were made out to be doomed, and even more doomed now because of our endgame situation.
In contrast to us, the St. Francis Square Cooperative was started by union members. They already knew how to organize and cooperate before creating their co-op. Cooperation was natural to St. Francis Square but "un-natural" for Freedom West. For forty years they had worked for their fruit of labors and succeeded in their pursuit.
After seeing St. Francis Square co-op members' success, we Freedom West residents always allude to their accomplishment and want to be just like them. In reality we merely referred to their fruits of labor. The fact is: It's more like we want to pick the fruits but don't want to labor. It was true for forty years and it's still true now. It just won't work.
I'm not saying Freedom West board and people are bad and beyond salvation. We just never knew and never realize the need for working as co-op members, never gone into the habit of democratic economy and cooperative culture. We were just stubborn and ignorant. But that's not a crime. The crime is you know you are ignorant but deliberately do nothing about it.
Now you know. That's why you must go to those classes paid by generous city government funding to help us, to educate us, and to enlighten us. If you don't, HUD will have every right and moral reasons to terminate us as cooperators. Later on it will have the Land Trust class attendance list to prove it if you don't bother to show up in those classes and workshops.
Now you can say the Community Land Trust is really the fifth column out to assist HUD and the city to go after us. After all, why should be they so nice? These people are out to show our bad sides.
Even if that's the case, they are here only to show we have no clothes. Almost a year ago we promised HUD we will follow a set of milestones so Enforcement won't foreclose on us. Shareholders education class attendance was listed among these milestones.
Our record so far was dismal, especially the first few months. But as far as the records showed, the total numbers were nothing to be proud of and the milestones missed. Ask yourself, did you go to these different classes last year and how often you went?
But it got better recently like the pictures showed. So from now on, let every class and workshop looking like this.
When we are naked, we better put on some coverings. That's why we should attend those free classes. These classes can only help, especially since the city and the Land Trust have all those tasty foods dangling in front of us. The very least thing we can do is to attend those classes learning how to be cooperators.

Committee and board members, you should set up good examples going to Land Trust classes. You should be proactive leaders by taking other shareholders go along with you. Everyone else, if you want to live in your house, go and put your name on attendance list this Saturday at the African-American Cultural Center. You don't need to attend the whole 5 hours. Just go and enjoy! Even just for the free foods. The least you can do is to put your name on the lists. I'm telling you. HUD will look at them.
So Mohammed, take your kids to enjoy Chinese foods at the Cultural Center. Gideon, William, and Sam got to work so they're excused. Khorla should go. Haddis, if you do Bible studies, ask someone take your place. Thomas, never ever seen you in Town Hall worshops, take your dear wife along too.
On top of this email, I will phone you residents to remind you even as I'm down in Southern California. We have only six months to prove ourselves. So everybody starts behaving like cooperators.
We may had had put the cart before the horse. But it's too late now. The horse still got to push forward
and hopefully in the future, the cart can be swung behind the horse's rear end,
but not end up like this. LOL

I have a knack for scheduling high school visits on the same days and times as fire drills, tornado drills, attack drills and even drug searches. I'd prefer a knack for something else, but hey, work with the hand we're dealt, right?
I'm fairly certain I've been in the trenches with the students for at least 9 different drills and barely missed one real deal.
Crazy thing is, I had two fire drills at one school, different years–I have that exit route down pat. And I had a fire drill, a tornado drill and a drug search at another school. I'd say I'm pretty set on their safety standards as well.
These drills don't get any more entertaining with time. In fact, they are worse. One reason is because I have a million other things I'd rather do with my time than crouch in a dirty locker room with my head between my knees while I'm wearing 4-inch pumps and a pencil skirt while worrying my zipper is going to split. Another reason is because I get lost in the shuffle, and the counselor and the students I'm meeting with vanish into the crowd, so I'm the oddball with no one to talk to as we freeze while standing around the flag pole. I spend the next 7 minutes mentally retracing my path from the guidance office, praying I remember my way back.
The fire drill days always seem to be the coldest days as well as the days when I wear my most uncomfortable shoes and fewest warm layers. I don't think that has changed from grade school either.
Perhaps my most extreme situation in a high school visit was when I missed an actual shooting threat by about five minutes. I had just pulled out of a high school after a lunch visit when I heard sirens as I was merging on the interstate. Sure enough, the cop cars were speeding into the high school parking lot. About an hour later I found out that a student had a gun in his truck in the parking lot and had told another student he was going to get it right after lunch during his study hall because his girlfriend had broken up with him. Fortunately the cops got there just moments before he would have left his classroom and foiled his plans.
As much as these drills, trainings and searches delayed my schedule and interrupt the school days, it's obvious how necessary they are to keep our schools as safe as possible.

from Tales from the Trail:
Reform-minded Angus King says he's had warm Senate welcome
Senator-elect Angus King came to Washington preaching bipartisanship and fearing that many of his new colleagues wouldn't go near him, figuring he's "a strange creature."
But to King's delight, a number of Democrats and Republicans stepped forward to say that they share his desire to end congressional gridlock.
"I was a little apprehensive coming down here," King told Reuters TV on Thursday (video above), his third day in Washington after last week's congressional and presidential elections.
"I was afraid they would say all say, 'Forget it. We're not going to talk to this strange creature from Maine who's an independent,'" King said.

Obama's first four years
A look back at the iconic images from President Barack Obama's first term.

Election day
After a long campaign, voters hit the polls to select the next U.S. president.
from Stories I'd like to see:
Keeping tabs on the Red Cross; Romney's transition plans; Obama's next book
Red Cross donations: Remember September 11
I hope we soon see a lot of coverage of how the Red Cross is using its Hurricane Sandy contributions.
For everyone from Mitt Romney to President Obama to the good-hearted people who raised $23 million through NBC's telethon last Friday, the Red Cross has become the charity of choice for victims of Sandy – just as it was the default charity after 9/11. But if New York's last mass disaster is any indication, how the Red Cross uses the money is worth a lot of reporters' attention.

A different political film
By Jim Young
The political game always seems the same to me, only the players change.
This is my third Presidential campaign and I have always been fascinated with U.S. politics. This time around it was the early impact of the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, all the way to Romney's run up to election day that intrigued me.
It all began 18 months ago when I was based in Washington D.C. and started shooting with a Hasselblad x-pan panoramic film camera while covering President Barack Obama. I had never used a rangefinder before and had to remember how to manually focus a camera.
from Full Focus:
Politics on film
18 months ago photographer Jim Young began shooting with a Hasselblad x-pan panoramic film camera. He documented the list of Republican challengers lining up for a chance to go up against the President Obama for a place in the White House. With only days to go until the Presidential election, here's a look back at the campaign on film. Read Jim's personal account here.
from Tales from the Trail:
Married v. unmarried could be the new election "gender gap"
Despite the American obsession with voting differences between men and women - the famed U.S. election "gender gap" - there is a far bigger "gap" dividing likely voters in 2012 - the yawning divide between marrieds and unmarrieds.
Fifty-seven percent of likely voters who are unmarried support Democratic President Barack Obama in the Nov. 6 general election, including those who have never been married, live with a partner or are widowed, divorced or separated.
from Tales from the Trail:
Obama shows Biden some love after debate mention
President Barack Obama broke from his standard campaign speech on Tuesday to show his running mate Joe Biden some love, heaping praise onto the vice president less than 24 hours after he put Biden under a harsh spotlight during the final presidential debate.
When explaining his decision to kill Osama bin Laden, Obama said in the debate to his Republican opponent Mitt Romney that "even some in my own party, including my current vice president, had the same critique as you did."
from Tales from the Trail:
Foreign policy issues rank low among voter priorities
Hype for the third and final presidential debate tonight has been considerably less than for the two previous face-offs -- perhaps for good reason. The debate is focused on foreign policy, and Americans don't seem to care that much about it.
"War/foreign conflicts" and "terrorism/terrorist attacks" tied for a spot near the bottom of a list of issues from which respondents were asked to identify the most important, in Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted since January. Only 2 percent of likely voters saw each of those two as issues of top importance.
from The Great Debate:
Romney's big chance with Jewish voters
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at the Monday foreign policy debate, should play to the Jewish TV audience like he was the star of a Borscht Belt revue.
Romney has a tempting assortment of issues he can tap to frame President Barack Obama as a leader whose policies are perilous for Israel. He can use the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iran, Egypt and even Syria to make a case that Obama's policies are wrong for the Jewish state.

As Christians, we have a lot of questions that we don't always know how to investigate on our own, and we're grateful when somebody will come in and give us the quick answer. But if you've raised kids, you know that when your kids have a question and ask you to sort something out for them, they come away with one kind of knowledge. When you allow your kids to work through, and find, and research the answer for themselves, they come away with a completely different kind of understanding. I can remember when I first came to Christianity out of atheism, I really needed to examine the issues for myself. And let's face it, there are lots of times when it's not so much an understanding of the truth; it's not so much that the truth is out there and I just can't grasp it; it's that I hold some type of prerequisite, presupposition, that prevents me from seeing the truth clearly.
That's why for me, as a new Christian, apologetics websites were just as important as the skeptic sites I had been visiting. I wanted to get some balance and some clear thinking on the issues we know are inherent to the Christian worldview. I found myself applying the same skepticism I had as a detective, and an atheist, to my own examination of Scripture. Here is my approach to answering some of my own questions about Christian doctrine, and Christian evidence. These are principles and tools that may help you sort out the truth for yourself. To help you remember, each of them start with the letter "D". First, some qualities I think are important as a student of the Bible: [Read more...]
