School related issues continue to be the number one reason families in Ontario reach out for support from Autism Ontario Chapters and Autism Ontario Family Support Coordinators. Parents often report feeling overwhelmed, intimidated, and helpless when they are left to advocate for their child's rights in school.
Our Autism Ontario Chapters hear all kinds of school-related questions from parents including how to support transitioning a student on the spectrum into their very first classroom setting, or into the secondary school's rotation schedule. Parents wonder if they should identify their child through the
Individual Placement and Review Committee (IPRC
) process, or if writing effective
Individual Educational Plans (IEP)
is the way to go. Families are often left on their own to navigate issues like soft suspensions and school exclusions. It can leave parents feeling like there is a struggle, barrier and fight at every corner. One parent shared that it wasn't the chronicity of her children's disabilities that was taxing but the chronicity of the fight.
Autism Ontario, in partnership with
Mahony Advocacy
and in collaboration with parents, professionals, educators and Autism Ontario SEAC representatives have put together helpful educational resources, supports and services and combined them with Autism Ontario's Educational Position Statements to help empower parents and guide them in their advocacy process.
Our Educational Position Statements are designed to help parents resolve school issues, obtain needed educational supports or services and help promote a change in the practices, policies and/or behaviours in our educational system in a respectful, positive and effective way.
For support for your school related issues, please contact your local
Autism Ontario Chapter
, or your regional
Family Support Coordinator
. They can help to guide you through these resources, direct you to your local school board Special Education policies, procedures and resources, connect you with local advocates and workshops to help fine tune your advocacy skills.
What do you need to know as a parent?
Advocacy is about securing, protecting and advancing the rights of one's self or others. Students on the autism spectrum have rights. The Ministry of Education has enacted legislation and regulations to support the education of students with special needs. School boards are responsible for implementing programs in compliance with current legislation and regulations.
Our Position
Autism Ontario believes parents and students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (where possible) must be actively engaged throughout the education process as full partners in their education to promote optimal learning across home and school.
This means that parents and students (where possible) play an active role, together with educators in all educational decisions.
Parents may have to strongly advocate to ensure that their child's rights are met at school. It is the parent's right and responsibility to see that their child has an appropriate educational program, and it is certainly acceptable for parents to advocate for their child.
A parent's relationship with the school/school board is not a social relationship. It is a business/legal relationship with the goal of getting the most appropriate education for your child.
Autism Ontario Resource:
Negotiating the Maze: Strategies for Effective Advocacy in Schools
outlines how to advocate effectively and establish positive working relationships with your child's school. It is filled with tips, templates, and links to important Ministry of Education information.

The Individual Education Plan (IEP)
Education for students with ASD includes not only programming for an
academic curriculum, but also programming developed collaboratively that speaks to the individual learner profile
; including the communication, social skills and behavioural challenges associated with ASD.
Our Position
Autism Ontario believes that curriculum must be flexible enough to allow for individual education programming for the diverse needs of students with ASD throughout their education and transition process. This process must be assessment based, using tools and/or strategies specific to the learning needs of students with ASD with an emphasis on evidence-based practices. These plans must include appropriate supports and classroom/curriculum adaptations to ensure maintenance of previously acquired skills and continuity of learning.
The IEP outlines the learning expectations that are modified from or are an alternative to the expectations in the curriculum standards guide. The IEP will also outline the any accommodations and special education services needed to assist the student in achieving their learning expectations. The IEPs of students who have no modified or alternative expectations will focus only on accommodations and services.
The IEP is intended to ensure that the student's needs are linked to appropriate services and to ensure that needed resources/services are being provided. To learn more about the Individual Education Plan, visit the links below.

Should you identify your child through the IPRC process?
Often, our Chapters and staff are asked if students on the spectrum should be identified through the Identification, Placement and Review Committee.
Our Position
Autism Ontario recognizes the Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IPRC) as the current, binding path towards the identification and placement for all students with ASD. We encourage parents, service providers and educators to use this process to develop tools collaboratively.
There are several processes parents and caregivers can access to ensure their children are getting the educational services and supports they need. The IPRC process is the legal, binding process families can access. To learn more about navigating your way through the IPRC process, visit the links below:

Kansas City Wizards To Play A.C. St. Louis In Inaugural "Supporters Showdown"
March 5, 2010 - Major League Soccer (MLS) - Sporting Kansas City News Release
The Kansas City Wizards announced today the club's formation of a new competition, with fellow Midwestern club A.C. St. Louis set to be the inaugural opponent. The contest, dubbed the "Supporters' Showdown," will consist of a game between the Kansas City Wizards and A.C. St. Louis first teams, followed by a match between supporters of both clubs.
The games will be played back-to-back on Saturday, March 20th at the Wizards' Swope Park training facility, with the Wizards and A.C. St. Louis playing first at 2 p.m. Immediately afterwards, the supporters' teams will play each other on an adjacent field. The winner of the competition will be determined by combining the scores of the two games, with a trophy awarded to the captain of the winning teams' supporters.
"Knowing nothing about the talent of their supporter group, I'd say they don't have a chance," joked Robert Houghton, president of the Hillcrest Syndicate, of the Wizards' largest fan groups. "But I think it's going to be fun. We're all out there for the same reason, and that's to see the sport be successful."
"The Supporters Showdown is a great and unique way for us to continue to foster our strong relationship with our fans," Kansas City Wizards forward Davy Arnaud said. "I know the team and Wizards supporters will be ready to play on March 20th and we look forward to a great event."
Admission to the games will be free for season ticket holders and $5 for the general public. Wizards fans interested in participating in the supporters' game should contact Sam Pierron at (913) 387-3413 or at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Only Wizards season ticket holders will be eligible to participate in the Wizards team for the supporters' match.
The Wizards will also play a second game against A.C. St. Louis on April 3rd at the Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park in Fenton, Missouri.
Founded in November 2009, A.C. St. Louis will play its inaugural season in the NASL Division of the USSF Division 2 Pro League this year. The team boasts former MLS All-Star and U.S. National Team member Steve Ralston as a player/assistant coach and is led by Head Coach Claude Anelka, brother of Chelsea and France striker Nicolas Anelka.
The Kansas City Wizards are now accepting renewals from current season ticket holders and new season ticket deposits for the 2010 Major League Soccer season. The Wizards will begin the 2010 campaign with a home match on Saturday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. CT against D.C. United at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Kansas City, a charter member of Major League Soccer, will play its 15th season in 2010.
Fans who renew their season tickets or purchase new season-ticket packages will retain an early priority number that will determine seat locations in Kansas City's new stadium, which was approved Jan. 19, 2010. To renew season tickets or place a deposit for new season tickets, call the Wizards locally at 888-4KC-GOAL or 913-387-3400 or visit www.kcwizards.com.
Kansas City is one of 18 cities included in the USA Bid Committee's bid to FIFA. The USA Bid Committee will submit their bid to FIFA in May, with FIFA choosing the host nations for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in December of 2010. To support the effort, Kansas Citians are asked to sign the petition at www.goUSAbid.com/kc and pass the petition along to their friends and family.

Two Night Stand
So rarely does a romantic comedy break from the tried and true mold that the many romantic comedies that came before it set as precedent. They're usually simple stories where two people meet cute, fall in love, have a forced dramatic falling out and then get back together in the end, much to the pleasure of their target audiences. However, movies like "(500) Days of Summer" proved that you can do something different and tell a truthful story within the genre while still producing something of quality. "Two Night Stand," on the other hand, puts a unique spin on rom-coms, but fails to produce something meaningful. The two lead actors are game and do their best, but their efforts are frivolous, as the material they're working with is substandard.
Megan (Analeigh Tipton) is a single girl living with a friend in New York City. She's unemployed and fresh out of a long term relationship that she never thought would end. One night, her roommate invites her out to mingle with some friends at a bar, urging her to simply hook up with someone and get her mind off her current situation. Unfortunately, she forgets her ID and ends up back at home all alone yet again. In an effort to feel something, she jumps on a dating site and finds Alec (Miles Teller), a twenty something young man who doesn't feed her creepy lines and lives in an apartment devoid of weird sexual paraphernalia, so she asks him if he wants to meet up for a one night stand, to which he agrees. What they don't realize is that a storm is approaching. When they wake up the next morning, they realize they are stuck together in his apartment and forced to get to know each other on a deeper level.
Or at least you'd think so. The premise puts a unique spin on an event many have lived through, an event that many would argue is an emotionally thin and unfulfilling experience, even if in the short term it was pleasurable. Megan and Alec have no intention of ever seeing each other again after their night of random fun, but they're forced to endure each other due to the overnight blizzard. So what do they talk about? Do they philosophize? Do they talk about the things that matter most to them? Do they pick each other's brains, trying to get to the root of who they are? No, they compare and contrast each other's love making skills, each criticizing the other for their various sexual deficiencies when, in all honesty, they should be criticizing for being personality-less bores. "Before Sunrise" this is not.
Then, after they're done verbally destroying each other, they (naturally) decide to give it another go, because nothing puts people in the mood to have sex like hearing how bad they are at it. The preceding moments are meant to be cute, to stand out from the norm of how couples, or even flings, interact, but it comes off as hokey nonsense, which is no doubt due to a collaboration between a first time writer and director. Neither have an idea how to create meaningful moments or set a pace to get to them. Despite some of its shenanigans, "Two Night Stand" clearly aspires to be something more than your typical rom-com, but nearly all of its attempts to stand apart from the crowd fall flat.
The most obvious example comes from its finale. Anyone who has ever been in a romantic relationship knows that romance films are sometimes closer to fantasy than "Harry Potter," but to get those fuzzy feelings one desires from the genre, one must go along with it, but the final sequence in this film is absurd. It truly reeks of desperation, to not end like its genre brethren and instead put a comedic spin on what usually amounts to a cheesy closing, but it consists of actions that, in the real world (and without spoiling it), would have the complete opposite outcome. If it wasn't for the shoddy execution up to that point, one would be upset that those aforementioned fuzzy feelings got ruined by such sickening cutesiness.
"Two Night Stand" simply isn't very good. The two leads are naturally charming, Teller in particular as he somehow manages to pull laughs out of poor material that a lesser actor would be lost in, but their character arcs are unbelievable. At a brisk 82 minutes without credits, they are given no time to grow and the numerous transitions they make from hating to loving each other and back again feel rushed (not to mention that the first transition comes not from a mutual understanding or acceptance of each other, but simply because they got high to pass the time, which isn't exactly the most romantic way for a relationship to blossom).
It's commendable for a romantic comedy to try to stand out, especially with a clever premise such as this, but "Two Night Stand" tries too hard and doesn't have the filmmaking know how to back it up.
Two Night Stand receives 1.5/5

Lout Promotions Presents:
+ MøSS
2015 was the year that Kassassin Street broke out from their home town of Portsmouth and started spreading their infectious blend of psyche-infused indie-dance nationwide. Previously, they had established themselves in their home town - selling out the Wedgewood Rooms - and releasing two well received singles, including the anthemic indie-dance onslaught of 'Centre Straight Atom'.
Two releases in 2015 – To Be Young and the Radio Silence EP – were supported by radio both here in the UK and in Spain, The Netherlands, Germany and the US (Jason Kramer and Brian Crow at KCRW; Shannon Sauter at KEXP), as well being received to fantastic reviews from blogs across the board, from Indie Shuffe, When The Gramophone Rings, and Breaking More Waves ('goes at it like two lustful lovers who haven't seen each other for months and doesn't let up until it has climaxed after a glorious three minutes and forty seconds.') amongst many others.
They played a full summer of festivals including Blissfields, Beatherder, Secret Garden Party, and Bestival. Their festival season ended with a triumphant homecoming slot at Victorious Festival, which was described as "a truly spectacular performance" (Vulture Hound). They embarked on their first national tour in November, selling out many of the shows and ending on another sell out at the Wedgewood Rooms.
The band have spent 2016 writing new material, venturing out of Portsmouth for a handful of shows. Radio 3 in Spain flew them out for a slot at the SOS 4.8 festival after being selected via a listener poll – and hundreds of fans turned up to watch their set. The same happened at Y Not, Live at Leeds, and Koko in London, the hard slog of the previous year paying off. They also released the electro-punky 'Hand In My Pocket'. Again played by their supporters at radio, the single was well reviewed by Music Ninja, Indie Shuffle, and Indie Is Not A Genre.
The rest of 2016 will be spent working on the material that will form their debut album, and before another nationwide tour in November.

Dead Man Walking: David Moyes given the axe as Man Utd bosses lose faith in 'chosen one'
DAVID MOYES was hailed as 'The Chosen One' when he replaced Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager last summer.
But last night he had become a dead man walking as United's American owners prepared his P45.
It has taken just 10 months for Moyes to stand on the brink of losing one of the biggest jobs in world football and his downfall has been as painful as it has been incredible.
Two months ago Starsport exclusively revealed how the Scot still had the backing of his bosses at Old Trafford.
Sacking him so soon was unthinkable for a club built on stability and common sense.
But Sunday's defeat at Everton was the tipping point for someone who has simply been found wanting from the start.
It is understood the Glazers are no longer prepared to give their manager £150m to spend on new stars when they don't trust him.
A senior source told Starsport last night: "The feeling of disappointment around the club is high because sporting objectives have not been achieved.
"We've gone from being champions to seventh in the table and that hasn't happened since Ray Harford was in charge at Blackburn."
What is also unthinkable are the damning statistics that promise to haunt Moyes for the rest of his career.
United have lost 11 league games (their previous worst was nine) and are guaranteed to finish with their lowest ever points total in the Premier League.
"We've gone from being champions to seventh in the table and that hasn't happened since Ray Harford was in charge at Blackburn."StarSport source
They are also on course to match Blackburn as the worst ever defending champions.
United have already failed to secure Champions League football for the first time since 1995 and might even fail to get into Europe at all.
There are more figures Moyes won't want reminding of, many more in fact, as the evidence piles up against him.
But the most damaging fact of all is that, quite simply, the job has proved too big for Moyes and has left him splashing around like a child in the deep end of a swimming pool.
He took over a team of champions and was given £64m to spend on signing Marouane Fellaini and then Juan Mata in a club record deal.
But United have gone backwards faster than a Ferrari in reverse and the damage to the club on and off the field has been immense.
Moyes will pay the ultimate price and find himself on the dole, of course. He can have few complaints either.
A large number of his squad have failed to respond to his training methods, tactics and game plans.
There have been fall-outs with senior stars, while on the pitch there has been little if any evidence of genuine progress.
The famous fight and never-say-die spirit Fergie instilled in the team's DNA has vanished into the dark clouds above Old Trafford. The players just don't appear to believe in Moyes.
But the former Toffees boss deserves some sympathy and shouldn't shoulder all the blame for the current farce at United.
Fergie might be able to walk on water in Manchester, but he got this decision badly wrong. He hand-picked his close friend, with the board's approval, but the move has proved an unmitigated disaster.
Here is where the Glazers come in. Their limited knowledge of football made them think allowing Fergie to choose his own successor was the right thing to do. Wrong.
There were no shortlists. No interviews with other candidates like Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Louis Van Gaal.
Moyes was summoned from Goodison Park - despite having never won a trophy or challenged for a Premier League tile in his life - and handed the keys to the United kingdom.
Fergie has been notable by his absence in recent weeks and didn't even attend United's Champions League quarter-final showdown with Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena.
Now we know why, but it was only several weeks ago that a disgruntled fan approached him near the directors box and told him, in no uncertain terms, what he thought of his decision to hand over the reigns to Moyes.
Fergie can argue black is white, but even he was struggling to defend himself this time.
So United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, are now looking for a new manager, less than 12 months after the previous one brought the curtain down on 27 years of glorious success.
Jurgen Klopp, Van Gaal, Laurent Blanc and Diego Simeone are among the early favourites but whoever replaces Moyes, he will have a massive job on his hands.
While Fergie used to dominate the touchline and cajole his side with a wave of his iron fist, Moyes has stood in the same spot dangling his arms about like he's directing traffic.
But all he has created has been one giant car crash and now someone else will have the unenviable task of picking up the pieces.

Wow, I cannot believe we've almost zipped through all of May. Our trip to Orlando will be coming up in about 2 weeks. Although it will be a short 4 days there, we plan on making them full days- especially taking in new things the parks are always offering. You try to see so much but after hours of walking around for the day, your feet have usually given up and your ready to call it a day. We are looking forward to getting away though. In July we hope to take the rv out as well. I've been cleaning it and Gerry has been doing all the mechanical aspects of it that he can. He wasn't too happy though that there was so much that did need to be done with it. When we bought it from the dealer we had thought they had inspected everything on it but actually hadn't. We did have to take it in to the garage as the "check engine light" was staying on and the oil pressure was up. Turned out to be a sensor- costing us $150. We had been trying to sell the rv though as Gerry was wanting one with a slide out, but haven't been to successful and certainly aren't' "giving it away."
We've done some minor fix ups inside too- including spray painting the rusty furnace grates and giving them a new look, gold light fixtures to black, and have plans to do some painting over the wallpaper in there. It's amazing what some paint can do ! I will have to try to remember to get some before and after pictures as well. I don't always remember to do that.
Gerry just got his truck back yesterday as well from the shop- was still on warranty- last month for that. Had to do some part replacements that would have costed $2500 if not on warranty but instead was $100 for the deductible only. Phewww!
We've been noticing how the prices are going up so much- especially on groceries. We are limited too around here where we can shop. Small town.But am still using my coupons, shopping sales and refusing to pay more than I feel is fair price on anything.We had a supermarket close down here a few years ago that was nice that it had a reduced section in most departments and I took advantage of that, but nothing here anymore like that.
I've even started cutting apart my face pads for breakouts- I don't need a full pad- so will cut down to 4 pieces now. Using only one piece at a time and adding the other pieces back in the jar.
I tell Gerry that when it comes time for him to retire in a few short years we'll already be ready with the adjustment of living on less.
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Valentine's day is coming fast and roses are everywhere. But whether it's my cheesy alliteration or the sheer joy I got when I saw this on the camera LCD - it's this shot of a Columbine with which I want to say 'Be Mine'.
So why the passion? Well, sorry to be a camera geek, but this was taken within 10 minutes of unpacking my first proper macro lens - the trusty Nikon 105. Bought on ebay, picked up by a relative in Hull, brought down to 'sunny Southend' where it was unpacked on a beautiful June evening. Not being blessed with the proverbial green fingers, my garden is not well endowed with luscious blooms. But this Columbine was in flower, and it was back lit by the evening sun. What's more, the area behind it was in quite deep shadow.
Metering so that I exposed for the bloom, hand held despite this being the non-VR version of the lens, I was blown away by the outcome. So blown away, that a good proportion of my work is now close up or macro. I love the fine detail we can pull out with close ups, detail we may not even be aware of with normal vision… just look at those fine, back lit hairs along the petals!
So be mine, Columbine. Or perhaps, what I'm whispering those sweet nothings to… is Nikon's Micro 105 f2.8. Gorgeous!
Oh… sorry Mrs Kemp! You are gorgeous too!
You can get closer to my Columbine as a card, a print or even a canvas, over on Redbubble where this my most viewed image:


text: Look, just let it go. There will not be a portable Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox 720, 180, 90 or any other combination of 'Xbox' and/or 90-degree increments. Asked by Five'sThe Gadget Show in the UK about the possibility of a Microsoft handheld to compete with the Nintendo DS and PSP, Xbox UK's head of gaming & entertainment Stephen McGill put paid to the suggestion. Again. "No thank you, we've got plenty going on with the 360," said McGill, "We don't want to get distracted by going into the handheld market." Maybe if we all keep asking him, though.. Xbox handheld: only available in dreamland says Microsoft [The Gadget Show]


text: Just took delivery last night. Remember the DS saying that Slacker would need to be activated but don't remember the how part. Have spent too long searching past posts! Does Tesla do it so that it automatically starts working a certain number of hours after delivery(like my phone app)? Or do I need to do something? Thanks!

Hi Ladies!
The new year brings new challenges and Januarys challenge at Archiscraps is to use lace!
Here is the inspirational pic.
This is a ceiling at the Alhambra in Spain. Don't you love that lacy pattern?
Here is my page called 'BFF'
I added blue edged lace to the bottom of my pic and the bottom of the title, as a border. This is my daughter 'Jenna' and her new bubba 'Skyla,'
it would be lovely if they were 'Best Friends Forever'
My page is from a class I did with Cindy Porter at 'A Scrappy Tiger' retreat. I just love the bright blues against the orange pp.
Here is a close up!
Thanks Julene and Archiscrap girls to get me motivated to finish off this page!

I'm reading Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox to my four-year-old daughter. She loves it, especially the enjoyable rhyme about the rotten farmers:
"Boggis and Bunce and Bean
One fat, one short, one lean.
These horrible crooks
So different in looks
Were nonetheless equally mean."
It's a rhyme worthy of being sung by Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon.
Dahl is a fantastic writer. He knows how to flip the adult world on its soft head and with a big, brash show announce, "Look at our wonderful and absurd antics."
And Wes Anderson's film is right on. I think Dahl would have loved it. Anderson likes to portray the dynamics of dysfunctional families and the beauty that lies within those crazy cracks and faults, and Dahl's Mr. Fox and his family was a perfect choice.
There is something fantastic about a wild and wily fox outsmarting greedy and slothful humans. And the simple as well as annoying act of stealing chickens reminds me of the myth of Prometheus, stealing back fire from Zeus.
And it feels so right that Ted Hughes, sickened by the strictures of his English degree, encountered a figure with the body of a man and the head of a fox who put a bloody paw on his papers and said, "You're killing us."
And if ever there was a trickster, it had to be Roald Dahl.
I remember when I first read James and the Giant Peach, I pestered my parents to buy a peach tree for our back garden in Wales. I must have been desperate to have talking insect friends and to sail away over Carmarthen Bay, heading toward the Emerald Isles or farther, maybe, into the land of Tir Na n'Og.
My parents ended up getting pear trees. Which I now see as a fantastic adult prank.
The Phantom Tollbooth. This has been called a contemporary Alice in Wonderland. And it is. Norton Juster writes like a madman who can't get enough of the shape, the sounds, the taste, the meaning, the history, the wonder of words. And he does so much with so little: A bored young boy.
Love Hysteria by Peter Murphy. The Lord of Goth's finest solo album. Murphy moves through each song like a snake shedding its skin. It's a hypnotic album for late-night listening when the house has that deep-set silence that seems inexhaustible, but isn't.
Go Away White by Bauhaus. Yes, I'm having a Goth relapse. But Bauhaus, along with the Smiths, Japan, and Echo and the Bunnymen, and Joy Division, put the "kick" in my teenage self. This album is on par with The Sky's Gone Out and In The Flat Field. And as is to be expected, it mixes elements of Murhpy's solo work with Love and Rockets. I want to go and unearth my Anne Rice and drink from the cup of solitude. Or listen to Bowie's Scary Monsters.

Hello. I have some Linux host space on a 1and1.com server and recently switched over to SSL. I have read the instructions on their website very carefully and managed to get both Windows programs:
Total Commander's SFTP
working fine. But I am unable to get it to work with Android AndFTP - it ALWAYS brings up an Authentication screen ("Attempt 1" etc) with Username and password, even though I have VERY carefully made sure I am using the same info as I do with Filezilla and TCommander (in the server Settings screen). When I finally backout on the AndFTP attempts, I get a message "Invalid Credentials."
I have no idea what it wants or why it does not work. I am using SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), same as with the WIndows programs, same username, hostname, port, and password. Yet it will not work.
Perhaps I should mention that I have used AndFTP for years before I added the SSL capability to my 1and1.com host account, and have never had a problem connecting with AndFTP. After adding the SSL, About the only change I made was the hostname, the protocol, and the port. But, as I say, I cannot get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
unable to get SFTP to work; works with Windows pgms

Prada Aoyama epicenter

Haute couture and star architecture have grown to understand each other rather well in the recent years. Major fashion brands distinguish themselves by inviting world leading architects to indulge themselves in the design of flagshipstores and extravagant showrooms. The highest density worldwide of such state of the art showpieces can arguably be found on and around Tokyo's Omotesando. One of the most impressive contributions to this phenomenon is the Prada 'epicenter'. This 33 meter high building has a façade like a membrane which is built out of wedge shaped elements that frame flat, convex and concave windows. These element also form the outer structure of the building. Closed horizontal bracings not only make the frame rigid, but also house the more private dressing rooms within this transparent building. Everything about the building tells us that money was not an issue. But perhaps the most costly design choice of all was to leave a large part of the expensive plot un-built.

The NX Advantage
Unparalleled Capabilities
NX stands above all other software with its comprehensive and powerful toolset for product development.
The NX suite:
- Analyzes conceptual design, 3D modeling and documentation to produce advanced solutions.
- Tackles challenges in structural, motion, thermal, flow, multiphysics and optimization applications through multidiscipline simulations.
- Suggests solutions for tooling, machining, quality inspection – all aspects of part manufacturing.
Across-the-Board Product Development Integration
NX seamlessly shares the same product model data and tools with all technical domains to create unified solutions to every development task. This both enhances and expedites information sharing and process changes among all team members.
Employing Teamcenter® software, a collaborative product development management (cPDM) solution from Siemens PLM Software, NX establishes a single source of product and process knowledge, coordinates all phases of development, standardizes processes and accelerates decision making.
Superior Productivity
High-performance tools and leading-edge technology make it "Advantage – NX" when it comes to addressing extremely difficult problems. Complex geometry and massive assemblies are no match for the design tools included in NX. Other software wilts when faced with demanding CAE challenges; with its advanced simulation capabilities, NX thrives and significantly reduces the need for physical prototyping. In short, you will improve your manufacturing processes once you engage these most advanced tooling and machining technologies incorporated by NX.

Thursday night's opening of Jerkology was just the beginning of my weekend. After the show, I came home and finished packing a small bag for my weekend adventures. You see, Dee bought me tickets to the Wilco show at the Murat Theater in Indianapolis for Friday night. Isn't she sweet? Yes, she is. Since my brother lives in Indianapolis, we also invited him and his girlfriend to join us. Dee and I made it to Indy just in time to pick up Drew and meet his girlfriend at the theater.
We had pretty good seats near the back on the floor and got settled about five minutes before Wilco took the stage. It had been almost two years since I had seen Wilco play live, so I was excited to see them again - especially since they had just put out a new album. The new album (Sky Blue Sky) is pretty mellow, so I didn't quite know what to expect. They opened with "A Shot In the Arm" from one of their earlier albums and I knew that they still liked to make a little noise. They played a few mellow-ish tunes and then steadily turned up the energy throughout the show until they were flat-out rocking during "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" and "Outtasite (Outta Mind)" in the second encore. They finished up an hour and a half long set with "California Stars" and said goodnight. They managed to play every song that I had hoped to hear and even a couple that I had forgotten that I wanted to hear until they started playing them. There was also a cool moment during one of their new songs, "Shake It Off" where the audience would shout "Hoo!" after each chorus line. After the song Jeff Tweedy said, "Hoo! Hey, Indianapolis, you just invented that." and laughed. After a short pause he said - in jest, "I don't like it." I was a great show and I was singing Wilco songs all weekend. In fact, I even made a playlist on my iPod from the setlist from the show.
After the show, we went to the Ram Brewery to get a late-night snack. That place is slowly becoming an Indianapolis tradition for me. The last two times I have been to Indy, I've eaten there. The last time was on Super Bowl Sunday. We then went back to Drew's girlfriend's house and crashed for the night.
On Saturday, my parents drove down to Indy to have dinner with the four of us and then Dee and I followed them back to Hartford City. Dee and I dropped our stuff at my parents' house and crossed the back yard to visit my grandparents. We sat with them for a while and talked about the current Shuttle mission and speculated on when my uncle might get to go into space. I learned that my uncle could have been to space a few times already, but that he's holding out until he can get a spot in the driver's seat. Good for him.
Sunday morning, Dee and I had breakfast with my parents and packed our things to head back to Chicago. We went directly to her parents' house for a BBQ for Father's Day. We got to visit with the family and eat a hot dog or two and then Dee and I started to crash. Dee and I were both so tired that we left before they broke out the sundae bar.
Once we got home, we unpacked, threw some laundry in the washer and took a short nap on the couch. We then spent the rest of the evening going over my lines for Jerkology so I can fill in for Aaron this Thursday. Afterwards, I watched Entourage while Dee dozed on my shoulder and then we called it a night. I had no trouble falling asleep - rare for a Sunday - and slept like a rock.
It was a good weekend, but one filled with lots of driving and a lot of unfamiliar beds. It was good to finally get home and rest my head on my own pillow.

Pain felt during sex is known as dyspareunia, and it can cause a number of problems for you and your relationship. Besides the physical discomfort, painful intercourse can have emotional side effects as well, so this problem should be dealt with as soon as you become aware of it.
Sometimes the reason for pain during intercourse is as simple as insufficient vaginal lubrication. Taking more time with foreplay or using a water-based lubricant will often solve the problem. However, sometimes there is a condition responsible for the discomfort that needs to be addressed. Conditions that may cause dyspareunia include:
- Vaginal infections, such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis
- Menopause, which can cause a significant reduction in natural lubrication, as well as thinning of the vaginal tissues which can lead to discomfort
- Vaginal dryness not caused by menopause – this can also be triggered by breastfeeding and certain medications
- Injury to the vagina or vulva, such as a tear or episiotomy from childbirth, or
- A sexually transmitted infection (STI)
- Vaginismus, a condition in which the vaginal muscles contract involuntarily
- Endometriosis, in which the tissues that normally line the inside of the uterus grow elsewhere
- Problems involving the uterus, such as myoma (fibroid tumors)
- Problems involving the ovaries, such as cysts
- Problems involving the cervix, such as infection
- Ectopic pregnancy
Treatment for Painful Intercourse
If you aren't sure why you are experiencing pain during intercourse, a visit to your gynecologist is in order. For example, in the case of dryness caused by menopause, your doctor can prescribe estrogen creams or other medications. Most infections and endometriosis can be treated by your doctor as well.
When no apparent cause is found, therapy might be helpful. Sexual activity is deeply intertwined with emotion; therefore any type of negative emotion such as anxiety, depression, fear, or feelings of low self-esteem can play a role in painful intercourse. Issues such as guilt, negative emotions regarding past abuse, or conflicting feelings about sex can also cause physical reactions that make sex unpleasant. It can be difficult to tell whether pain has psychological or physical causes (or a combination), so a conversation with your doctor about all possible issues is the best course of action.
When you see your doctor, be sure to mention additional symptoms that you may be having in addition to pain, such as bleeding, irregular periods, genital lesions, unusual discharge, or involuntary contractions of the vaginal muscles, that may give him or her the clues needed to diagnose and treat your problem effectively.

("GBI") (OTCQB: GNUS), on the launch of a groundbreaking new property, STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS, in conjunction with THR's special salute "Stan Lee 75 Years in the Business" in the Comic-Con issue. The announcement was made jointly today by Gill Champion, CEO and President of POW! Entertainment, The Hollywood Reporter's Entertainment Group President/Chief Creative Officer Janice Min and Andy Heyward, Chairman and CEO of GBI.
A co-production between POW! Entertainment, GBI, and The Hollywood Reporter, STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS is an adult animated series appealing to 18 – 34-year-olds written by Fabian Nicieza (co-creator of Deadpool) based on a concept by Stan Lee, who will edit and voice himself as one of the series' main characters. Iconic superstar comic artist Todd McFarlane is creating the cover graphics.
The first four episodes of STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS will premiere exclusively on THR.com with one episode airing each day during Comic-Con International 2016. The webisodes will cliffhanger daily, and the first one will actually be in VR, with 'VR boxes' to place on smart phones being given out at Comic-Con. STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS is the first series to launch on THR.com and will be promoted through THR's YouTube channel, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. THR will also collaborate with distribution partners on promoting the premiere episodes on THR.com and the remaining 22 episodes of the series. The animated series will then move to full global distribution by GBI.
The global consumer products program will be introduced by GBI at Licensing Expo 2016, beginning June 21st. The company has already secured national retailer Hot Topic to launch the brand under a direct-to-retail apparel and accessories program in stores and online in conjunction with the webisode launch at San Diego Comic-Con.
"I can't wait to bestow upon the world one of our latest creations, STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS," said Lee when talking about the new series. "And as if this wasn't exciting enough, we've joined forces with the creative teams at The Hollywood Reporter and Genius Brands so you can guarantee this will be an unforgettable event that you won't want to miss!"
"The Hollywood Reporter is thrilled to collaborate with Genius Brands and POW! Entertainment to celebrate Stan Lee's amazing accomplishments and longevity with the premiere of his latest animated series, STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS on THR.com during Comic-Con International," added Min. "Having that exclusive airing coincide with a special feature on Stan, the superhero of comic creators, within the pages of our special Comic-Con edition of THR is so perfect. Nobody comes close to Stan's creative prolificacy, and the introduction of this new series is the ideal opportunity for the industry and THR to honor Stan and his trailblazing contributions as a one-of-a-kind visionary."
"Stan Lee is a true industry icon, from his Marvel Superheroes like Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, X-Men, Hulk, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, to the latest characters in STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS, he continues to stimulate our imaginations with characters and stories that are as indelible and relevant today as they were 50 years ago and will be 50 years from now," said GBI's Heyward. "We are honored to partner with Stan's POW! Entertainment on producing his latest project and look forward to further collaborations as we celebrate this legendary man and his remarkable body of work."
STAN LEE'S COSMIC CRUSADERS follows Stan Lee who, while having writers block trying to come up with a new comic, meets seven aliens who have crash-landed in the U.S. Each of the aliens has superhero powers, however, each can only use their power in the context of their homeland. On the verge of being captured by 'the men in white coats,' Lee offers them sanctuary and convinces the white coat men that the aliens are actually superheroes, resulting in Lee's intensive superhero immersion training, helping the aliens learn how to access and use their powers as superpowers on Earth.

Two years ago the person belonging to these lovely hands, asked me out on a date. Tracking something new, I said yes. It felt good, we took our time and got to know each other gently. We were both mindful of doing it differently this time.
It seems to work: we've barely been out of each other's company since. Next year, he'll become my husband and I couldn't be more delighted. I feel at once calm and deeply excited about it.
There is a lot about this love that has changed my life. Practically, it has bought in a whole new family. He comes with two brilliant kids. One 22, the other 9. Bam! Just like that. They are great. I am grateful. The love has softened me, I am less avoidant and fighty. Also, crucially, it has changed my idea of what private space means. Some deep place in me no longer needs to run away to find quietness. For the first time, the place of retreat and oasis is no longer elsewhere, it exists within and in the space between us.
I don't really know how we've managed this. It is certainly something I have been trying to make happen and failing at. As a weirdly expressive introvert, it is something I used to frequently lie to achieve. Stealing solitude on the quiet. And it is tempting to flatter myself I'm managing it now because I've done so much self development and therapy, but quite frankly, I don't buy it. It feels much more animal than that – like finally being in the right pen at the zoo. I suspect it is something that is impossible to make happen through will alone.
Something organismic and chemical.
Anyway, a blessed mystery.
And this quietness within is a fundamental shift in how I am in the world. Home becomes my base camp and it supports me in the things I want to make and do in the world.
How it should be, right?
Yet for some reason this dynamic and I have always avoided each other.
How life can turn on a dime…
But before we all get ill from the proliferation of schmaltz, it aint all sweet and easy
Being in an atmosphere of love brings up my shit. In ways I couldn't have anticipated. No longer being in self defence on some sub-bass level, means I have space and support to look at my self and its not always pretty. In softening it is harder to live in the way I have been used living. The ways I have needed to be resilient to survive, now feel unnecessarily armoured and just, well, unnecessary. Old ways are falling away which at times has felt, naked and disorienting. Like it might be easier to just bail and revert to the factory settings. But I won't bail. Life is too rich and rewarding.
Something else that has been challenging is how the relationship has changed my themes. This may not be a big deal to some. For an artist it is HUGE. My themes used to be my safe place. When all around me was madness, at least I had my themes. They helped me know who I was. They healed me. They were me. I lent on them heavily. But now some epic karmic knot is unwinding. It is like everything that has been my go-to resource for my whole life as an artist: mineral rich seams that felt like they would go on for ever, are no longer calling me. And my gaze is falling on unknown landscapes. Like a new born, the shapes are still soft and a little out of my range of vision. My brain can't calibrate what it is seeing. I still have no names for anything. It is really like I am having to start from scratch.
So who am I in this new version of the world?
I am in free-fall and discovery.
Annette Habel Falling Bodies 83.
The other thing I am confronted by is that there might be a possibility, I could do things via EASE, instead of stress. Again – may sound like a no brainier. Who would choose stress?!! But I guess the point is, I only recently realised I was choosing it. When tension is how I've done things my whole life, the idea that I might follow ease is a total head fuck. My neural pathways don't recognise the how. It requires the unlearning of very deep behavioural patterns.
The possibility that I might be able to choose to make work from following ease instead of stress, fluid possibility instead of anxious necessity, changes everything.
Here's me in a ballet class.
I'm 7 years old, living in Adelaide.
Photo by my Dad.
Check out the attention to detail (and tension) in the fingers and the neck.
Somehow all these years later, I have landed in the same haircut.
Here's another photo, also by my Dad.
An older girl from my ballet school, on point.
A kind of arabesque.
This was what I aspired to.This was what I wanted to embody.
The culture of anxiety and crucifying self punishment I have been used to living in around my creativity and my doing, since – I guess my childhood – certainly as a professional – is unravelling. I am unravelling. There is no blue print for how I might do what I will do next. No pattern I recognise from my upbringing or schooling or culture to cling on to.
The patterns I do recognise, belong to an older, deeper place. Nature. Biology. The way organisms learn, grow and adapt… there is something there that I recognise… it is like I am in a process of remembering these older deeper sub-cultural (or is it anti-cultural?) processes. Putting myself back together again from scratch. It is at once an Un-learning and a Re-membering. But more on that later.
The last time a big seismic shift in my identity happened like this it was years ago at drama school.
So following 14 years of classical ballet and surviving anorexia, I arrived at drama school doing a pretty good job of embodying the thing I thought I wanted to be. I was walking like a duck – feet permanently in first position, bum clenched, neck hyperextended and with chronic lumbar back pain. And it all felt like 'me'
My movement teacher had a task. 3 years of Feldenkrais lessons and Alexander Technique later, I was able to unlearn those unhelpful ways of being and rediscover how to walk, sit and stand with ease. But re-building those neural pathways that had become rusty and numb with neglect, wasn't easy. Because of course it wasn't just physical work, it was also psychological and emotional work. Those patterns of control and discipline that had kept me 'safe' were being challenged and they weren't going to disappear with out a fight. The process was deeply unsettling to my sense of who I thought I was. It was difficult and excruciatingly slow work, but we got there eventually.
So now, 20 years later, I am faced with a similarly big shift in my state of being. This time I want to say yes to it with as much of myself as I can. In August I begin a 4 year Feldenkrais Teacher training program. This marks a deeper commitment to doing things from ease rather than stress, which is core to the Feldenkrais philosophy.
Feldenkrais Moments
A film by Mariano Nante and María Zinn.

Re-discovering Feldenkrais has felt like coming home. Remembering how this work changed my life has inspired me to recommit to a process that will allow me to bring this work to others through my art, my private practice and all my relationships.
So how do I begin to make art from this place of ease? Even as I write this I have this parental critic in my head screeching at me that I'm being lazy. (Thanks for the unsolicited advice, BRAIN, I hear you. I know you'll be sure to let me know if my LAZINESS ever gets to a life threatening level. Mean time, beat it.)
Well after 3 and a half years of slow change and making NO work, finally, images, words and the right kinds of collaborators are ready to arrive. Without force. Without efforting.
And some of it feels familiar. But a lot of it doesn't. And I am encouraged by that.
I like that very much.

Exploitation Director Matt Cimber talks about directing Jayne Mansfield in her final film "Single Room Furnished" (1968)
Director Matt Cimber on working with Janye Mansfield on SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED (1968)...
I took a look at SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED again last week....I was wondering if we could talk about that last sequence in the film with Jayne [Mansfield] in that hauntingly beautiful room with that purple bed...
You know who shot SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED for me? László Kovács. It was the first film that he worked on in the United States. I hadn't met him before. He came from Hungary. He designed the sequence were Jayne is sitting in front of that three-panel mirror. We started over her shoulder and we shot her through all of those panels, and I thought that it was just wonderful because of how it go under the character.
Right. If you watch that scene you see a still pop into the film of the mirror cracked for a split second. Was that just a still that you inserted for that?
No, it was actually in the mirror. You know, Peter Bogdanovich and Barbara Streisand saw SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED and it was because of that scene that they wanted László Kovács for
WHAT'S UP DOC? (1972). When I made THE WITCH WHO CAME IN FROM THE SEA (1976)--I shot that with Dean Cundey. He came out of U.C.L.A. and had only shot low-budget up till that point. I've been lucky to have many great cinematographers who have worked on my films.
That final sequence in SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED is certainly the most dream-like and surreal of the three...I love that shot where the camera moves around the room and ends up shooting Jayne in a close-up from behind the bed's headboard.
Right, I liked that too.
You directed SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED under your birth name Matteo Ottaviano..
It was the first feature film that you had directed up till that point...How did the project come to fruition for you?
Well, you know, it was really a mess. It was my first film. I had come from the theater. I had directed a play called
Walk Up
. It was three one-acts all set in a tenement in
New York City
. The play opened at the Washington Square Theater down on 5th Avenue. It got wonderful notices. The writer of the play, Gerald Sanford, was a guy who was struggling. He wrote the play in his basement. After the play got good notices, the William Morris Agency sent him a plane ticket and he ended up as a writer for Universal.
Some time went by, and I lost track of him. I went out to Hollywood and I decided that I would adapt
Walk Up
for the screen. But I couldn't find Gerald Sanford. I decided to change the name from
Walk Up
to SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED because "walk up" only refers to something you do in New York. So we got the money around for it and we shot it. What Jayne did in the film was just wonderful. She was really relaxed. She threw away her image and she felt all three of her parts in that film. It's a cult film now.
Wasn't there something with the shooting of the film though? Like you started shooting SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED in 1966 but the film was never released until 1968? Obviously, Jayne passed away--but was the film held from release intentionally? Obviously it was released to capitalize on Jayne's passing....
Well, what happened was that I had shot the sections with Jayne and then Producer [Michael Musto] stopped the production because his wife was upset that she wasn't in the film herself. His wife was the woman who was in the middle section with the fisherman. It's all very sappy and it doesn't make sense that it's in the film now. I didn't even direct that sequence, the producer did and then tried to add himself as one of the screenwriters of the film.
How did Walter Winchell get involved with the film?
The producer knew him. But, Jayne and I were friendly with him also. Jayne used to get paid to appear at the Del Mar race track. One time we went down there and we ran into Walter Winchell. He said, "There's someone here who you need to meet. Will you have lunch with us?" So we went over to his table and there was J. Edgar Hoover. We sat down and had lunch with him. (Laughing)
: One of the things I like about SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED visually is how you've chosen to direct it theatrically. I love the artifice, in particular, in the first sequence with the couple on the stoop....In the flashback in that sequence--there is a shot of Jayne and Martin Horsey as "Frankie and Johnny" at their high school dance and when the camera pans around the room you can see just blackness behind the action of the scene...It's very dream-like and stage-bound... The
is very theatrical.
With that, we wanted to visualize isolation. We wanted to capture the feelings of those tenements in New York City. When we were editing the
, I was amazed at how well things were coming out because while we were shooting the film we weren't able to watch dailies. I remember László being very upset because of that. We just didn't have the money at the time. We couldn't afford to process the footage and get it back overnight. At times, we wouldn't see what we had shot until may days after.

Hope [author's name withheld] doesn't mind that I posted this to the list, but it's an important point and a good question. > I'm wondering if it is possible to <!-- /* "comment > out the xml declaration" */--> will this make the > pages display properly/ would it still be valid XML? Tried that. Doesn't help. For Moz M14, you have to delete the namespace and the XML declaration - just commenting them out doesn't help. For MSIE 4.5 Mac, you have to delete the XML declaration; just commenting out doesn't help (as I discovered today): [quote] Friend, When I try to log onto [website name deleted], I see the following text instead of the intended page display (Internet Explorer 4.5): <!-- <?xml version="1.0"?> --> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html-in-xml/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/Profiles/xhtml1-transitional"> <head> <title>[Deleted] </title> <base href="http://[Deleted]/html/index.htm" /> <!-- XHTML version by P. T. Rourke, Technical Publications, [Deleted] Inc., 30 November 1999 --> </head> <body [...] [/quote] et cetera ad nauseam ad infinitum. Note the date in the comment; page hadn't changed since then. I realize that this is an old version of the declarations, but I've tried the new versions on the XHTML rec at W3C too in Moz at least; I'll check them out in Mac later. (There have been other problems as well, but let's not go there, as they may be my fault). You have to actually DELETE the XML declaration for MSIE 4.5 Mac and Mozilla M14; apparently, you have to comment out the DOCTYPE in MSIE 4.5; and you have to actually DELETE the namespace and XML declaration (and possibly the DOCTYPE as well, I only got access to a Mac today and haven't tested all variations yet) to get it to work in Moz M14. I got two responses from Moz developers to my bug report that it should be fixed in current builds (as mentioned on list, it seems to be a well-known bug), so M15 should be over that hurdle. I've reported the MSIE 4.5 Mac bug, so we'll see how they respond to that; there's nothing about it in their meagre support documentation for MSIE 4.5 that I could find. So far, noone has complained that well-formedness has any negative effects on the display of pages in the browser, only the declarations. This topic may be more appropriate to a markup list (is there an XHTML list? If so, anyone have the sub info? I want to avoid a "how to I get the text to blink"-level list). HTML Tidy is doing its job; the browsers (one of them, anyway; can't complain too much about a browser that's still in Alpha) are falling down on theirs.
