The Return of the Idiot Troll...
As he tends to do, this person, who I used to refer to as an "idiot troll" back in the waning days of my regular involvement on Usenet, made another round of nasty, and quite false, claims.
The funny part in all of this, is how this whole episode seems to sum up a lot that is wrong with how both transsexuals and those who make up the quite separate "transgender community" tend to act out online.
As I have pointed out, there is often a tendency of some to elevate themselves to a sort of self-aggrandized status as a "pioneer" of sorts. Suzan Cooke has made an online career of this sort of silliness, and Elizabeth has adopted the same sort of approach. The story is always the same. They were an early transitioner. They had no doubts, no insecurities, their transition was flawless, and anyone who does not agree with their every infallible pronouncement is, at best, suspect.
And they tend to surround themselves with a bunch of sycophants who provide a chorus of ego strokes that allows them to hide some very obvious insecurities. I will give Elizabeth credit for one thing…she tends to not be as inclined to censorship as Cooke, who apparently can't deal with disagreement at all. And, so far, Elizabeth has resisted the urge to completely abandon all principles and pledge her troth to Mr. "Cristan" Williams and the transgender extremists.
The truly funny part is, for a group, including Elizabeth herself, who seem to be inclined to question others intelligence, they seem to have seriously impaired reading comprehension. My final words there, albeit a bit garbled when my fingers slipped and I missed what the spell checker produced, were "I should have gone with my first instinct and ignored you. I won't make that mistake again."
That after ignoring quite a bit of drivel that preceded the post I responded to. But, both Elizabeth, and several in her sycophant chorus, chimed in like fools, to suggest I should go elsewhere. Hmmm, now perhaps they are simply posturing like childish fools, trying to boost their own egos, by telling themselves that they "bested" me. When, as I said, I don't post there again, they can tell themselves that it was their doing.
But, back to Lask, and his latest round of garbage. This is the classic example of what people like Elizabeth surround themselves with. Lask postures about how he is a "A true TS misidentified by JJ." Actually, Lask, as I have pointed out, turns out to have never had SRS. For quite some time, Lask hid behind a claim of his surgery having "failed." Of course when one considers that Lask also used to brag about his great successes as a well paid programmer (including claiming to have owned a Corvette) one also has to wonder why Lask never had corrective surgery. Now, Lask simply hides behind fake names, and anonymous remailers to lash out at imagined enemies.
Lask likes to make a big deal out of some poorly chosen words I put on a website I threw together back when having a vanity web site was "the thing." (Now, that would be having a blog instead.) The funny part is, Lask not only strongly identified as a transvestite at one time, he was a very active member of a group originally known as Educational TV Channel, which morphed into Transgender San Francisco, or more commonly, TGSF. Yes, Mr, "true transsexual" was an active member of a transvestite social group. And he wants to accuse others of being autogynephilic. Even funnier, Lask likes to parrot Michael Bailey, and point out that I am a "techie." Well, Lask spent years as a programmer and as a very active transvestite. Hmmm….
Lask, along with a few others, is the reason there are parts of my past I simply don't disclose. Yes, that leads to, as some claim, my backstory lacking "consistency." And if someone wants to attempt to exploit that, that is certainly their privilege. Lask's backstory lacks quite a bit of veracity, but Lask sticks to simple lies, leaving out major details such as his military career (he certainly was NOT an early transitioner) and his involvement with a transvestite social club. But hey, some people are just very skilled liars. That is typical of what psychologists would label a "sociopath."

I missed this post before I made the comment on newer blog post. You really like to push your luck don't you Jennifer?

You are the one who started posting about me. I wasore than willing to let bygones be bygones. I have said we should agree to disagree a long time back. You insisted I had to accept your position. So really, don't come on here making threats.

I would never make a threat against anyone Jennifer. You might want to go back and reread your comments on my blog so you can determine who got nasty first. Saying you are wrong is not nastiness but then you know that.
Transition is different for everyone but the simple truth is the later it happens the less the intensity of the transsexualism since it takes longer to deal with it. Type VI are kids or very young adults that deal with it early. Everyone else is a Type V. Neither one is any better than the other although IMHO it is worse for the Type V because life gets in the way and bad things can happen.
What year did you have your SRS? Was your weight an issue when you had surgery?
- November 18, 2013 at 9:49 PM
- Just Jennifer said...
I really don't care for silly semantical games.
In any case, your argument is overly simplistic. It assumes, for example, that someone knows that transition is even possible at that early age.
I was in my twenties when I discovered I was transsexual and I began planning to transition. However, bad information caused me to believe it was not possible. I spent about ten years feeling very hopeless, before I found out that I could transition. I found a doctor, and transitioned. After a period, for reasons that are very involved and personal, I tried to find a lesser path. After seven years of misery, I realized that I was not only hurting myself, but I was not doing anyone else any good, and I returned to living full time. My life was not easy, and it took some time to get to the point where I had the means to have surgery, but I did. No, my weight was not a factor.
Try to imagine what your life would have been like if things had not fallen into place for you. Yes, you can make some arrogant assertion that you would have simply killed yourself, but that is a dodge, not a fact. Thankfully that was not the outcome in my case. We will just leave it at that. The problem is, you presume that early transition or a lack of intensity were the only two options. That is wher you are so very wrong. There are always exceptions. As I say, for someone who rejects Bailey, you are certainly parroting his BS.
You will have to excuse me if I put more stock in the opinions of real experts, and not that of someone who is simply assuming they know it all.

Things did not fall into place for me Jennifer but the simple fact is the only reason suicide was attempted in my youth was because I did not know I could get help. The minute I knew I could get help I never had another suicidal thought just so you understand suicide was never a DODGE used by me.
I parrot Bailey's BS? You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Show me one place where I parrot anything Bailey claims.
I have never claimed to know it all but I do know a lot about kids. I know nothing of later transitioners other than they are what Benjamin classified as Type V which does not mean it is an easier for them in their lives.
What kind of bad information could possibly have made you think, knowing you were a transsexual, that transition was not possible? It almost reads like you had self-doubt or were hesitant and unsure of what you could or should do. Is that accurate?
Just for your edification the argument I was making is about today and not yesteryear. Today it is possible to transition earlier and kids do. In my day it was a crime and probably was in your early years. Today it is not but only the intensely transsexual do it early or push things early and that is a simple fact.
Intensity builds over time and that is why some transition later and I have no issue with that. Transsexualism is not a medical condition where everyone is the same, like it or not. There is no easy path for anyone born transsexual and that is an undeniable fact.
- November 20, 2013 at 9:24 AM
- Just Jennifer said...
That is a good question...and the source of more than a bit of irony in my life.
The short answer is, I thought I would be a lesbian after I transitioned and based on research I did at the time, I came to believe that if you were not, as Bailey would now put it, "a homosexual transsexual" you were forbidden to transition.
That is grossly oversimplified, and I can already hear the obvious question...why not simply lie?
The full story is more complex. I did quite a bit of research on the subject. I had access to a major university library at the time, and even though it was in the Deep South, they had quite a few books that dealt with the issue. As I say, the only view available was that one had to be "homosexual," i.e. prefer men. And yes, my plan was to simply lie. Until I read a book that made the assertion that anyone who was not "homosexual" (my, but they were ignorant back then) who went through transition and had surgery would suffer a severe mental break, and wind up incurably insane. No, I am not making that up. And no, I don't specifically remember the book I read that in. I wish I did, as it would be good for a laugh, to say the least.
I struggled with this fact, but decided that it must be true, as it was in a scholarly text, in a major university library, and so I stuffed my feelings and tried to move on with my life. Which pretty much fell apart afterwards.
For the next, approximately twelve years, everything I read seemed to confirm what that book said. I read all the biographies, and they all ended with the person becoming a straight woman, even if they had been a "straight" male before.
It was not until I read "In Search of Eve," that I discovered the truth, and ironically, when I transitioned I discovered that, in truth, I was (cue the irony) quite straight as a woman.
Now, before you go off on a tangent, and start balking, let me explain something. For the most part, I was never a particularly "sexual" person. I enjoyed the companionship more than being driven by sexual desire. Until I transitioned, I was largely abused by men. I had an abusive father, most other male authority figures in my life saw me as "defective" (an from their point of view, I was for obvious reasons) and while I had some confusing feelings about the few exceptions, I also lead a very sheltered life. And my "peers" also saw me as largely defective as well. I tended to hide behind being a "geek." I preferred books and science to sports and rough play. I got married primarily to escape my father, and trust me, my ex-spouse was very frustrated. I married someone I honestly expected to be as uninterested in sex as I was. I was wrong. Yes, I managed to produce a daughter, and I don't regret that. But it is a wonder that it happened. It was only after transition, when I was seen as a woman, and treated appropriately, that I realized that men were attractive. Yeah, irony is just so much fun...

Life is not always as simplistic as some with to make it. And yes, when I was in college, I had gay friends. I knew I was not like them. That contributed to my confusion, as I simply could not see being attracted to a man, based on my experiences to that point.
Quite frankly, if I could have been seen by someone in my twenties, my life would have been different. The student therapists that were available (money was a major issue at the time, and hey, they were free) were very knowledgeable about such issues. They assumed I was simply a crossdresser, and did not delve any further. Ironically, one of them, at the end of the term, confessed her attraction to me, and admitted she that it was extremely unprofessional of her to feel that way.
In Alabama, in the mid-Seventies, there were simply not a lot of resources available. And what was available was mostly books that would now be considered quite funny...
And yes, when I read "In Search of Eve," and discovered that I could transition, I did.
It was not self-doubt that caused me to not transition...it was more akin to pure terror that I would wind up worse off than I was, though now I see just how wrong that was.

A SCHOOL for children with learning difficulties has benefited from a generous donation by a company following a story in The Stockport Express newspaper.
Dominic Tinner, development manager for the Royal Schools for the Deaf, at Stanley Road, Cheadle, spotted a story in The Stockport Express on November 28 highlighting the success of Character World.
The Cheadle family-owned firm, based at Reardon House on Gatley Road, recently won a multi-million pound licence from toy giants Mattel to supply a range of Barbie brand bedding and houseware to UK retailers.
Dominic contacted the firm to see if they could donate some of their range to the Royal Schools for the Deaf which is undergoing a major refurbishment of the students' residential home.
And he has been stunned by the response.
Mr Tinner said: "Character World has been marvellous. They have donated 50 new quilts and bedding for our students.
"They will look fantastic in the students' rooms and the students are delighted with them."
A spokesman for Character World said: "We will always consider requests from charitable causes and do whatever we can to help.
"The Royal Schools for the Deaf is a very worthy cause and we are glad to have been able to help."

Also, I apologize for the cropped pictures. My mum took them for me and it would appear she is a cliche parent and is unable to use a camera. Honestly in some of the pictures I am not sure if she was trying to drop hints that she was bored or that I don't photograph well, as they were mainly of the wall behind me and when I say mainly, you can literally only see my elbow... I always knew it was my best feature.

Paul has a PhD from the University of British Columbia and has taught Geographic Information Systems, statistics and computer programming for 15 years.
Every presentation has a number of general properties. These include basic properties, like the size of the file and when it was last edited. However, properties can also include more advanced things, like password protection. While some of these properties are documented automatically as you work with a particular presentation, several other properties can be managed manually.
Properties of presentations can be accessed in Backstage View. To get to Backstage View from a presentation, click on File. The Info tab shows the properties of the current presentation. On the left-hand side are a number of options to protect a presentation, inspect a presentation, and manage versions. On the right-hand side is a list of general properties.
Many of these properties are read-only and only change when you work with the presentation. For example, the file size and the number of slides will change as you make edits to your slides. Other properties can be set manually. For example, click next to Title Property to type in a new title for the presentation. It is important to recognize that all of these properties provide information about the presentation, but don't actually appear in the presentation.
Why do these properties matter? In general, properties make it easier to find presentations, and they also facilitate collaborating. For example, by adding your name as the author, others will be able to see who last edited the presentation. When you make changes to the properties, these are saved with the presentation.
There are a number of advanced properties in addition to the ones shown by default on the Info panel. For example, click on Properties and select Advanced Properties. This brings up a dialog with several tabs. These contain all kinds of details, such as the number of words and the fonts used.
You can also create your own custom properties. These types of properties typically become important when there are a large number of presentations used by multiple people in an organization. If you have a handful of presentations for your personal use, these advanced properties are not as important. Close the dialog to return to the Info panel.
One of the other things you can do is to protect a PowerPoint presentation with a password. On the Info panel of a presentation, click on Protect Presentation. There are options to create a read-only version of the presentation, set a password for the presentation, and add a digital signature. Select Encrypt with Password.
This brings up the Encrypt Document dialog. Type in your password and click OK. You are asked to confirm your password. Click OK again. The Info panel now shows that a password is needed to open the presentation. The password is saved once you have saved the presentation. The next time you open the presentation, you are prompted for the password. To remove the password, return to the presentation properties, open the Encrypt Document dialog, and remove the password entry.
Presentation properties are useful to assist with searching for presentations and to identify who worked on a presentation, among other things. These properties provide information about the presentation, but don't actually appear in the presentation itself. Basic properties include things such as file size, date of last edits, and the author of a presentation. In addition, you can control access to a presentation by setting a password.

An example of Persuasive Writing
Here is an example of persuasive writing the children looked at in the classroom. They had to identify the topic of the writing, the emotive language used and the ideas in each paragraph. It proved for great discussion in class as some of the children were counter arguing the points made in the persuasive text. It made for a great debate!
Mobile phones have no place in a school. And that's that! What good reason is there for allowing students to bring an object capable of so much disruption into a school?
Firstly, lets look at the amount of mobile phone footage on youtube: we can see both teachers and students being humiliated in front of a worldwide audience.
It is appalling that people should be made to suffer in this way!
Some people may argue that students need to contact their parents. Newsflash schools have landlines that don't suffer from poor reception, that don't run out of credit and don't disrupt learning. A member of staff will also be better at delivering any distressing news.
It is impossible impossible for students to concentrate on their learning when they are receiving a text from their friends and studies have revealed that they lead to poorer literacy as students learn text abbreviations. Sir John Dove in his recent government report recently said, "Schools that have a strict ban on mobile phones achieve, on average 20%, higher exam results than the schools that do not.
Can a teacher really compete with the latest gossip on facebook? Will a principal be able to intercept a bully texting their victims all sorts of malicious insults? Can a student justify bringing their mobile phone into school?
The answer is quite simply "No".
What are your thoughts?

Inquiry Learning - Guitar Heroes
Room 1 tamariki learning and practicing their chosen song or piece of their chosen song played by their favourite guitarist.
It is incredible to see the amount of energy the children are putting into their inquiry learning. They bounce ideas off each other, support each other and collaborate together, learning guitar chords or guitar tabs. I cannot wait to hear their individual and group guitar performances, and looking forward to their debates.

This term Room 1 children are looking at 'Guitar heroes', for their inquiry learning. They are to research and present the following:
1) Select their favourite guitarist.
2) Watch and look at videos of their guitarist, playing the guitar.
3) Write down 10 questions that will form the basis of their research. Answer their questions about their chosen guitarist (information report).
4) Learn to play a piece of music (by chosen guitarist). The children get to choose the length of the played piece and if they are playing chords/tabs.
5) Debate - Persuasive writing about their guitarist, informing the audience on why their guitarist is the best. The children know persuasive writing consists of and that they need to engage the audience and persuade them that their guitarist is the best! Their information reports will help support their persuasive writing.
Jeniffer Batten is undoubtedly my favourite guitarist!
She could quite appropriately be dubbed the undisputed Queen of Shred, and one of the genre's finest guitarists—male or female.
The "shred" classification is, however, too limiting a name for a player of such exemplary technique, inspiring talent, and amazing versatility.
At the age of eight, Batten began playing guitar, influenced by the Beatles and BB King. She later attended the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, becoming the school's first female graduate in 1979. She was noted especially for her technical prowess and impressive two-hand tapping style. At the time, the eight-finger tapping technique Batten had mastered was a feat of complexity practically unheard of in guitar circles, and established her as a talent well ahead of her time.
Playing in various fusion/rock bands, Batten also taught at the Guitar Institute of Technology, and published two instructional books; Hal Leonard's "Two Hand Rock" and "The Transcribed Guitar Solos of Peter Sprague."
She was also asked by Michael Jackson to audition for his band. He picked her from a large number of qualified candidates to take on the guitar responsibilities in Michael Jackson's band for the Bad (1987-89), Dangerous (1992-93), and HIStory (1996-97) world tours, as well as Jackson's 1993 Super Bowl half-time performance (which was viewed by 1.5 billion people in 80 nations).
If you're a guitar player, or a fan of shredding, you owe it to yourself to check out the "Queen of Shred." Regardless of your style, Jennifer Batten will undoubtedly prove an inspired addition to any playlist!

Swishy swishy fabric. Helpful helpful cat. He did this for 20 minutes. It was an exciting time for my furry little friend. Labor day weekend projects for the win.
I made my giornea according to Cathelina di Alessandri's instructions from 2014. It took like two weeks of staring at it before I finally did the thing, because my fabric is pretty and swishy and probably not period but whatever, it makes pretty noises and changes color.
I think the part I found the most difficult, aside from dealing with my tiny furry helper, was deciding the v-neck size in the front and the back and then matching them up when I made one side have a larger seam allowance than the other. These things happen.
I do need to take the shoulders in slightly, because they keep falling off. I seem to have problems with shoulders in general. I tend to make them too wide, and maybe this is a normal human sewing thing. We all secretly long for the 1980s and huge shoulder pads.
But in the end I took some very dramatic photos in my bathroom to the dulcet tones of Rihanna and Nikki Minaj.

One in Ten Australian Gamers Exhibit Signs of Addiction
The plea by Vladan Starcevic follows the opening of a video game addiction treatment center in London. Starcevic told the Herald Sun that the same kind of treatment center is desperately needed in Australia.
"We have people in this country who do have a problem with that, just like with gambling and other addictive behaviors," he said.
The British residential rehabilitation unit Broadway Lodge, which treats about 400 addicts a year for issues ranging from drug and alcohol addiction to gambling, has opened its doors to gaming addicts.
The facility reportedly uses a 12-step method to wean residents off their gaming obsession. Treatment involves a mix of group therapy, self-help tapes and videos, along with therapeutic tasks such as cleaning and engaging in recreational activities.
"I think it's good that someone has taken this seriously," Starcevic said of the British initiative. "I think it should be recognized that this is a problem for some people."
Starcevic and a team from the department of Psychological Medicine at Sydney's Nepean hospital performed the online survey of about 2,000 gamers, and found that one in 10 participants exhibited signs of addiction.
Starcevic, whose work is due to be published in this month's issue of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, decided to delve deeper into the issue of video game addiction after more patients began exhibiting warning signs. He said about 70 percent of problem gamers played for more than four hours a day.

An epic weekend of music is ahead for fans attending the 14th annual Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas, USA - and those of us at home will get the chance to see quite a few of the performances ourselves thanks to the live stream. Each day there is a myriad of incredible performances to choose from - and here are our picks for the first day of the first weekend of the incredible event.
Photo: Danny Clinch
Only some hours ago in Berlin, music fans saw out the first official Lollapalooza event in their city. Across three stages at the Tempelhof Airport, Muse, Tame Impala and Martin Garrix brought 50,000 plus people together to celebrate the end of a weekend of great music, perfect weather and a successful festival line up.
Lollapalooza comes to Berlin this weekend, taking over the Tempelhof Airport on Saturday and Sunday for the first time ever in its extensive history. The event marks the festival franchise's inaugural European event and as we look ahead to the weekend of live music from the likes of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Tame Impala, Muse, Fatboy Slim and more, it's no surprise that the latest addition to the European festival circuit has well and truly sold out. A mixture of heavy hitting international touring artists, as well as a strong line up of DJs and producers has set the tone for an impressive debut in the territory for Lollapalooza and we're going to be on site for all the action!
Daniel Boczarski heads along to day two of Lollapalooza in Chicago, and bring us photos of Sam Smith, Banks, Brand New, Hermitude, Tame Impala, Chet Faker, Tyler, The Creator (on his giant bed), Walk The Moon, Kid Cudi, G-Easy and many, many more...
Coming October, Austin City Limits (ACL) festival will be running for two consecutive three-day weekends from 2nd-4th & 9th-11th at Zilker Park. With a killer lineup including the likes of Foo Fighters, Drake, Florence + The Machine as well as eight stages and 130 acts to choose from, festival goers will have to look out for this one! Read on to find out which Aussie artists are being featured!

Proyect 4: Group 1
Escaping from the traffic noise of Wiesbaden, in Germany, the Koening family decided to fulfill their dream of living near the woods. In order to do so, they organized an international competition in 1989 between young architects. In the invitation, they made it clear that they did not look for "the world's most beautiful house, nor a house for an astronaut, a politician, a painter or a sculptor, but a house for an ordinary citizen."
House of Delia is a house of healing, of youth and of restoration. Therefore it will be a house of therapy.
the house that was once "for an ordinary citizen", will now become the house for a person with a neurodegenerative disorder
The Koening Family: (Parents with two children) have lived in the Aktion Poliphile House since 1992, last year the mother was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease, aged 65. The Family have decided to make changes to their house, They know the disorder is progressive and their desire is to prevent the disease from getting worse.
They have contacted an architectural firm to make important and relevant adaptations to the house. Instead of contacting the previous architects (Studio Granda) they have decided to make contact with an architectural practice that has specialized in designing adaptations to houses for people with Neurodegenerative disorders. The Family has put importance on using the concept of house of Delia (health, youth, and well being) in the design of the adaptation, which is most relevant now more than ever. Now the family want to focus on the fact that even when the body is gradually affected, the mind will stay clear, and to give mother the means to keep her intellectually active and in control of the house's appliances.
The Family believe it was a good decision to move from the inner city to the rural outskirts of Wiesbaden to avoid the stress of the city.

Off the Wall
'I'm being eaten alive'
The last words spoken by Veronica before be aborted a picnic in the bush.
However the mossies weren't the only ones who made marks that day. Upon return to the studio the day's adventure was given an everlasting life as I took to cardboard, a long table and a wheely chair. Cutting up old boxes and setting up an assembly line on the table, I used the pens, ink and scraps laying about to pump out a recollection of the day. Using speed as my only rule, I started on one line only to let my immediate after thought dictate the next move. Through a process of cause and effect I put all trust in my memory and wandering hand to guide the work. Rolling up and down the table on my chair I scribbled here and dabbed there. It was wonderfully fresh and unrestrained so much so that I thought I must be onto something.
I recalled a place that I had been longing to visit and had braved the bush and mossies earlier that day. A unique mid land, between a storybook Forrest and the pastures of farmland on the Bundanon property. Here, the bark of the trees peeled off to reveal a glimmering red beneath. There were seed pods too, banksias, brush and bracken - coarse textures that are hard to love but get you in the end. Eucalyptus hung low and damp in the air - tempting you into the Forrest with its sweetness and uncertainty. Clusters of sap bejewelled the trees and made for a soft contrast to the rocky sand underfoot. It was a peculiar place.
The process of recalling this day happened so impulsively, so instantaneously, so honestly. Once completed it was reminiscent of a film strip, a narrative structure tied the loose ends, the brazen marks, the thickets of pencil. It became neither distinctly abstract or bereft of figuration. The culmination of gestures and images somehow hovered between the two disciplines, playfully alluding to a story or place far off in your imagination.
Not sure what to do with the card board pieces, which were at this stage strips approximately 50cm long by 10cm wide, I started scoring them with a knife. Unable to cut all the way through I unintentionally created folds so that the pieces could stand three dimensionally. Putting them up on the wall they wove their way on and off the wall, inviting one's eye into a space and around. Displayed in the same film strip sequence they invited you on a journey - along, inside, around and beyond the wall and its marks.
This is an exciting piece for it poses new possibilities. Its structure suggests solutions so as to create more dynamic visual environments. The close interaction that it welcomes and sequence of observation encourages me to work within some sort of narrative structure. I am interested in How I can weave my stories with those of others through the shared experience of an artwork.
Off the wall will be coming to a blog post soon !

CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. — Jefferson County Schools officials are offering its employees a retirement incentive of $1,000 to help the school system offset declining revenues of up to $5.3 million over the past four years.
The incentives were announced by Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Susan Wall during a news conference Friday afternoon at the school system's central office on Mordington Avenue in Charles Town.
Although school officials are sending out notices to employees about the possibility of a reduction in positions, it is possible no jobs will be affected depending on how many people retire, among other variables.
Wall said she did not know when the school system will determine whether jobs will have to be cut.
School Board President Pete Dougherty said earlier Friday in a telephone interview that the Jefferson County Board of Education would discuss early retirement incentives at its Monday meeting.
"There are some budget issues that the board will have to address .... Our tax revenue has gone down," Dougherty said.
Tax revenue generated by property taxes helps pay the system's operating expenses, including personnel costs.
Dougherty said the system received $2.8 million in gaming tax revenue from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races last year.
Revenues from the casino cannot be used to pay salaries, Dougherty said. That money has to be used to pay for building maintenance and other capital improvement projects.
Dougherty said system officials anticipate the annual tax stipend from the casino will increase to $4 million in the coming years.
The school board will meet at 7 p.m. Monday.
Staff Writer Dan Dearth contributed to this story.

SOCIAL STUDIES: (Mr. Leslie A-17) In class we have been learning about the "5 Themes of Geography"- location, place, human-environment interaction, movement and region. These themes will help guide our learning when we begin studying the countries of the world. Much of these first couple months are spent learning the basics- such as map skills, the 5 themes, climate zones, landforms and culture- that we will be focusing on once we begin learning about the countries of the world. Next week we will start learning about climate and climate zones and will do so all week. We will begin with an introduction to them and students will take notes on the different characteristics of each climate zone. We will then watch clips from the Discovery Series "Planet Earth" so students are able to get a sense of what these climate zones are really like. At the end of the week, students will do a more in-depth study of one of the climate zones and create an "Explain Everything" on a specific zone.
Reading: (A-17) In Reading we have been using Lightsail to read the novel A Long Walk To Water. Lightsail helps measure students progress in categories such as comprehension and vocabulary and also provides opportunities for students to respond in writing to open-response questions, which are then graded by myself. We have also been having a lot of class discussions on some of the important themes and issues of the novel.
MATH: (Mr. Fryman A-18) In class we're moving through chapter one covering exponents, expressions, equations, distance formula, spatial calculations (area & perimeter), and algebraic thinking. We will have our first test over Chapter 1 by the end of next week or the beginning of the following week. Students have been working very hard in class and have become more organized with their notes, too, using individual notebooks and/or Notability. Google Classroom continues to be a great tool for additional resources and information sharing as well.
Reading: (A-18) We are continuing our reading of Freak the Mighty in class and having disccussions throughout the beginning of the book. Students have been doing QuickWrites in their journals on characters and plot development, and have a running list of new vocabulary words. Students have also started getting set up with their LightSail accounts and have started checking out books on their own. We will be using LightSail for a class book later in the year.
LANGUAGE ARTS: (Mrs. Hewitt A-19) I am really happy with the students' collaboration on the Burlington Poems. We learned how to edit and revise one another's work using Google Docs. Expect the grades to be posted on Aspen soon. In class this week, we read the trickster tale from Africa, "All Stories Are Anansi's." The main character is a small spider, yet his cleverness helps him prevail. (I played my own little trick on the kids using fake spiders hidden in the books). We also expect to finish "The End of the World." We emphasize story elements and vocabulary. There will be a test of the two folktales the beginning of next week. Remember to make study evidence for bonus points and to build good study habits.
Reading: (A-19) Student are doing wonderful explorations on their iPads reading Al Capone Does My Shirts. The app is linked to Common Core standards on comprehension and vocabulary. Together we do discussions about the events and characters. Student are able to read at their own pace.We are approximately in Ch. 6-7.
SCIENCE: (Mrs. Shea D-101) We are finishing up our pumpkin plant experiments this week. Most of the plants grew very well! Next week we will work together to create a formal lab report on our experiments. Students have also recently completed a gummy bear experiment to introduce volume and density measurements. Students also took their first science quiz this past week. Any student that scored under a 70 is able to retake the quiz. Dates for the retakes will be announced on Monday.
Reading: (D-101) We continue to read The Westing Game using our LightSail program. Students have made their predictions regarding the mysterious murder of Samuel Westing.
HEALTH:(Ms. Eovine) – Students will be starting the G.R.E.A.T. Program. Officer Cross (School resource Officer) will be working with me in health class for the next three weeks using the G.R.E.A.T. program. The focus will be on how drugs, and violence can affect our communities and what we can do to create safe and substance free communities. This week's focus will be on communities we belong to and what we give to those communities and what we receive from being a part of one. We will also be talking about goal setting and how to set up realistic short and long term goals.

bookmarks, diy project, f1, f1 bookmark, f1 craft, formula one, michael schumacher, michael schumacher bookmark, racing, tributes
Many moons ago, this German racer named Michael Schumacher captured my attention and turned me into a full-fledged Formula One fan. His first retirement from the sport in 2006 broke my heart, but his 2010 return and subsequent 3-year stint with Mercedes GP has been quite a dream come true not just for me, but for many of his fans as well.
However, as the old cliché goes, all good things must come to an end.
There's only 3 races left to go before his permanent retirement from racing, and while my heart is still in denial, the proactive crafter in me wanted to do something—anything, to somehow mark the impending closure of his illustrious career.
And so the idea of a bookmark was born.
Project Materials:
– Thin, black foam board
– White board paper
– Off-white board paper
– Silver paint pen (or silver sticker paper)
– Red paint pen
– Orange paint pen
– Fine-tip black Sharpie
– White sticker paper
– Gold, stick-on letters
– Gold star stickers
– German flag sticker
– Thin gold ribbon
– Glue
– Double-sided tape
– Hole-puncher
– Pencil
– Scissors
– Xacto knife/ regular cutter
– Ruler
– Circular template
– Cutting mat
- Take the black foam board and measure a 2" x 6" rectangle, which will serve as the main bookmark. Cut it out and set aside. (You can make this bigger or smaller, depending on your preference.)
- Take the white board paper and draw the "body" of the Mini-Schumi on it. Again, you can make him as big or as tiny as you want, I just eyeballed it based on the scale of the foam board. Cut it out.
- Take the off-white board paper. Place the body on top of it and draw an outline of the "racing suit" outside of it with a pencil. Cut it out carefully and then take the glue or double-sided tape and stick the racing suit on to the body.
- Take the fine-tipped black marker ad proceed to draw the details on the racing suit, such as the belt, shoulder creases, etc. Feel free to add as much details as you want, such as the German flag on the belt, the shoelaces, etc.
- Take the white board paper and the circular template and approximate the size of the helmet in relation to the body. Trace the circle and cut it out. Fill in the whole "helmet" with the orange paint marker.
- Wait for the helmet to dry and then add the details such as the visor (cut out a thin trip of silver sticker and then place a thinner strip of white sticker on top of it), the fine black lines, etc.
- Stick the finished helmet on to the body using glue or double-sided tape. Set aside "Mini Schumi" first.
8. Take the gold stars and carefully position 7 of them (representing his number of WDCs, of course) along the bottom part of the main bookmark body. Gently push down to stick them on once you're satisfied with their positions.
9. You can then carefully position Mini Schumi on top of the stars and stick him on, but I chose to go the extra mile and add a strip of checquered flag and a mini-podium in between Mini Schumi and the gold stars.
10. Turn the bookmark over. Take the gold, stick-on pre-cut letters and position the initials M & S. Push firmly once you're satisfied with their positions. (You can write his initials manually or use a letter stencil with a gold paint marker if you don't have pre-cut stick-on letters at hand.)
11. Take the small German flag sticker and stick it below the MS initials.
12. Punch a hole in the middle of the bookmark's upper part, thread the gold ribbon through.
Admire your finished handiwork and try not to feel the pain of your heartbreak too much.
There you have it, a simple but heartfelt tribute to a man whose genius on track may not be equaled nor surpassed in F1 for a long time.

text: Employers wanting certainty as to the date of termination for contractual purposes should ensure that the employment contract specifies when notice is deemed to be given or, if it does not, that they hand over notice in person to the individual. The Court of Appeal in Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust v Haywood ruled that, where an employment contract was silent on when notice was deemed to be given, notice sent by letter to the individual's house while she was on holiday did not take effect until her personal receipt of the letter on her return home (and possibly not until she read it). As a result, her termination date was pushed back to after her 50th birthday, entitling her to a much more generous pension.

Burbridge named Pac-10 Player of the Week in PDF Format

TEMPE, Ariz. -- After recording one of the best weekends of volleyball in Arizona State history, senior outside hitter Amanda Burbridge was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week as announced by conference commissioner Tom Hansen Monday morning in Walnut Creek, Calif.
The senior averaged 8.56 kills per game and 77 total between two matches against Washington State and Washington. In Friday's thrilling 3-2 win over WSU, Burbridge recorded a school-record 39 kills. The following evening she nearly matched that total with 38 more. Burbridge is currently ranked second in the Pac-10 with 5.66 kills per game and has helped lead the 14-7 Sun Devils to a 6-5 (4th place) record in the Pac-10.
The following is a recap of Burbridge's amazing weekend on the court:
10/20/00 - 3-2 Win Over Washington State (Sets School Record with 39 Kills)
In what ended up as a record-breaking night for Arizona State's premier outside hitter Amanda Burbridge, it was only fitting that she was the one who put the exclamation point on a wild 3-2 win over the visiting Washington State Cougars by ending the match in the fifth game with a block. Burbridge, a senior from Scottsdale, shattered the 18-year-old school record of 35 kills with 39 and recorded a career high with 29 digs. The outside hitter hit .313 for the match (39-13-83), breaking the school record for kills in a match set by All-American Lisa Stuck in 1982 vs. Santa Clara. The mark ranks as the fourth most in a match in Pac-10 history, last duplicated by former WSU All-American Sarah Silvernail in 1996.
10/21/00 - 3-1 Win Over Washington (Completes Stellar Weekend with 38 more kills)
One night after shattering the school record for kills in a match, Burbridge backed up her 39-kill effort vs. WSU with 38 more against Washington. The 38 vs. UW would have also broken the 18-year-old school record of 35 set in 1982. For the weekend, the outside hitter tallied 77 kills for an amazing 8.56 kpg average. The senior also added 19 digs and four solo blocks in the victory over UW. With the 8.56 kpg average for the two matches, Burbridge was a near unanimous selection for Pac-10 Player of the week and is a strong candidate for the AVCA National Player of the Week honor. The last ASU player to gain Pac-10 Player of the Week honors was current assistant coach Christine Garner in 1995. To add to her already numerous accolades, Burbridge also moved into fourth place in the ASU career record books with 1,428 kills. Burbridge has tallied double-digit kills in each of her 19 matches played in '00, six of which she has recorded at least 20 kills and 20 digs, and two were 30-20 matches.
The Weekend Totals For Burbridge (77 Kills, 8.56 kpg, 5.22 dpg, 10 Blocks)
In what may go down as the best single performance in one weekend in 27 years of Arizona State volleyball history, senior outside hitter Amanda Burbridge was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week (10/23) by recording 77 kills over two matches for a 8.56 average per game. The senior set the school record for kills in a match with 39 vs. WSU and then came back the next night and nearly matched that effort with 38 more kills. In leading the Sun Devils to their first season sweep of the Washington schools since 1993, Burbridge hit .342 (77-23-158) combined between the two matches. She also totaled 5.22 digs per game over the weekend. The Sun Devils are now 14-7 on the year with a 6-5 record in Pac-10 play (4th place). For the season, Burbridge is averaging 5.66 kpg (430 total) and with seven more matches to play is already 11th in school history for single-season kills. Burbridge has rapidly moved up the career list in kills in `00 as well, now ranking fourth with 1,428.

Girl group 2NE1 has attracted attention from K-POP fans from around the world.
2NE1 were awarded with K-POP Best Female Group at the "allkpop awards 2011" which is hosted by "allkpop", media specialists on Korean news for English readers. This vote was done by about 300 million music fans from around the world participating in an online poll.
2NE1 who got the title of "Best Female Group" expressed their thoughts through a video uploaded onto the allkpop site saying "Thank you all our loving fans and allkpop for 2011 Best Female Group and we wish you a very happy 2012".
Engaged in breakthrough activities around the world, 2NE1 did not stop their force even in Japan. Announced by iTunes Japan on the 25th, at a special event called "Japan Sound of 2012" that was to introduce the most anticipated new artists of 2012 , 2NE1 was the only Korean artist to be mentioned.
2NE1 had their official debut in Japan in September of last year where they had a concert tour in 3 cities of Japan (Yokohama, Kobe, Chiba). They gathered a total of 70000 attendees which recorded the highest number of attendees by a Korean artist for a Japan debut live concert.
With such interest from Japan, 2NE1 plan to attack the islands of Japan in February once more with new promotions.

As a project team we recruited and engaged with people from five different areas of East Riding, who had expressed an interest in giving their time, working with the staff in their local GP practice or surgery. Exploring new ways to improve services the practice offers and to help meet the health needs of patients and the wider community.
Practice Health Champions are volunteers who, with support, work in partnership with their local GP practices, to transform the health & wellbeing of the communities in which they live. Champions donate as much or as little time that they can give in their roles and bring a diverse range of skills, interests and passion to their work. They empower themselves, their friends and families and their communities to lead happier and healthier lives.
You will first need to speak to the practice champion staff liaison or a practice champion. You will then be invited to attend the champion steering meeting which will take place once per month at the practice. This will enable you to meet the staff and the champions, find out information about the programme and share your interests and drivers to be involved.
The only specification to be a champion is you must be aged over 18. However if you are under this age and would like to be involved please speak to the practice, there may be other opportunities the champions can signpost you to.
No set skills, abilities or qualifications are needed to be a champion. This does not mean that champions are not invited to utilize the skills they have gained through their life experiences, their working lives or education. But we believe, everyone has something to bring, regardless of their background. Even if they don't believe it themselves!
The amount of time you have to give is totally up to you as an individual and how much you are willing to commit to the project. There is no strict agreement that will hold you to a set amount of hours or days per week. We believe everyone has something to both give and gain, no matter what their own flexibility and time commitments are. We have volunteers that want to donate in excess of ten hours plus a week and volunteers that donate half an hour every few months. We welcome all that you can give – and believe this best reflects the true picture of everyone in the community.
The areas you can be involved will depend on, good communication with the practice, champions and local services. By having strong connectivity in all these areas will ensure that you as a champion can gain full benefit from the programme alongside giving as much time as you can to help improve health and wellbeing.

This is what current champions have shared with us, about what they feel is the benefit to being volunteers for this project:
• Having a voice
• Making friends
• Getting to know others in their community
• Feeling empowered
• Feeling less isolated
• Feeling part of something; part of a group
• Supporting the NHS overall
• Supporting their local practice
• Increasing their confidence
• CV support, employment and education opportunities
• Better mental health
• And much more…see their own testimonials on our Champion Video
Having the practice health champions within the practice helps:
• Connecting with patients
• Working with local communities
• Listening to patient need but also been supported with its delivery
• Offering reassurance
• Being assisted with delivering practice information e.g. patient surveys, staff updates, appointment booking guides etc.
• Looking forward and helping to create change
• Thinking and responding innovatively to a challenging economic landscape
• And much more…see their own testimonials on our Champion Video.
The project responded innovatively to the national and local need to provide workable solutions in a tough economic landscape and helped rise to the challenge of providing care for the complex and often multi-faceted health needs of the population. We worked on the belief the best solutions come through empowering the very people that the NHS serves and by working in partnership with local practice. This has been proven with the engagement of almost 150 patients working with practices as champions, signposting patients to specific services and the promotion of specific initiatives.

Lip product with a Difference- EOS Lip Balm
For an extended period buying a lip balm was a daunting task for many individuals. One had to visit several cosmetic, wholesale, and retail stores to get a lip balm which most of the times did not meet their requirements. If they wanted to change the taste of what they are applying on their lip, the only flavors available were cherry and mint flavors. Thanks to EOS who noticed the struggle women were facing and decided to establish the product to provide a broad range of lip products.
Evolution of Smooth (EOS) was created some eight years ago with a primary purpose of offering the women a different taste and feeling of lip balm and flavors. The lip products entered the market with a boom, and within a short period, the lip balm was on stores shelves starting with Walgreens, Walmart to Target. Follow EOS on their facebook.com page. The products were very much appreciated by celebrities in the United States, and some of them were spotted using the EOS products in public including Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, and Christina Aguilera. The company was founded by Jonathan Teller, Graig Dubitsky, and Sanjiv Mehra who is the managing partner.
Evolution of Smooth has a variety of products on the shelves. Their lip products are well packed with antioxidant-rich with Vitamin E, jojoba oil, and soothing shea butter. The lip balms also comes with a variety of flavors including
The products are manufactured to moisturize the users' lips, enhance their smiles as they give them a gorgeous feeling. The packages of the lip products are meant to last for a period of time, and they are very attractive. Check EOS products on walmart.ca. The Evolution of Smooth products are reliable and affordable to any woman in the world. The organization has made the products available in most of the stores in the nation and they do shipment to other countries. Interesting article here.

text: I have decided that I need a new laptop. A key factor for me is the ability to play games and I am trying to offset that with having to live with XP. I love OS X, but for a life-long gamer chosing a mac is tough... So I have decided to pose the question to you guys: What would you buy? PC: eMachines 6805 (made by Arima - so it's better than it sounds) AMD Mobile Athlon64 3000+ (1.8GHz) 15 wide screen, RADEON 9600 64mb 512mb PC2700 DDR 60gb HD 802.11b/g 3-3.5 hour battery life - what I like about this machine is that it breezes through UT2004 and other demanding games (even Far Cry). People are getting 12,000 points in 3dmark2001. - the CPU and GPU are easily overclocked (I love to tweak). - what I dislike is the look of it, and the OS. this costs $2000 CDN ($1400 in the USA - less with rebates) Mac: 15" PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz 15 wide screen, RADEON 9700 64mb 512mb PC2700 DDR 80gb HD 802.11b/g - obvious likes, it's a Mac, Panther, iLife04, build quality this costs $3000 CDN ($2300 in the USA)

C. C. Chow, J. de la Cruz; Ultrasound Biomicroscopy as a Preoperative Tool for Surgical Planning in Patients With Congenital Corneal Opacities. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2009;50(13):3701.

Purpose: :
Congenital corneal opacities, including Peters' anomaly, sclerocornea, and congenital glaucoma are rare but often bilateral conditions in which disease severity and associated anterior segment findings vary widely. Childhood blindness can result from either corneal opacity or glaucoma, for which surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Unfortunately, anatomic features are often difficult, if not impossible, to assess by slit-lamp exam alone. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a well-established tool for examination of the anterior segment, in such disease states as glaucoma, ocular trauma, and iris tumors. Here we assess the utility of UBM as a preoperative tool in congenital corneal opacification.
Methods: :
Ultrasound biomicrosocopy was performed with a 35 Mhz Sonomed probe for preoperative evaluation of the anterior segment anatomy of infants with Peters' anomaly, sclerocornea, and congenital glaucoma.
Results: :
UBM in a patient with bilateral Peters' anomaly revealed keratolenticular and iridocorneal adhesions. This led to the refinement of diagnosis of Peters' Type II, therefore directing management toward lens extraction and anterior vitrectomy prior to keratoplasty. Another patient with bilateral Peters' anomaly developed corneal opacity after a successful rotational autograft for about 5 months. UBM showed edema and scarring of graft, irregular iris formations, and peripheral anterior synechiae, which led to the use of a Boston keratoprosthesis Type I implant. UBM in a sclerocornea patient revealed a thick cornea, iridocorneal adhesions, and resorbed lens in both eyes, which led to the successful planning and implementation of a combined corneal transplant, vitrectomy, and Ahmed valve. Finally, UBM in a patient with congenital glaucoma status post a failed PKP revealed iridocorneal adhesions as well as a scarred angle, which also led to the selection of a Boston keratoprosthesis Type I implant.
Conclusions: :
UBM has proven to be an invaluable preoperative tool to detect anterior segment abnormalities associated with congenital corneal opacities and aids in preoperative planning of anterior segment surgeries.

(VIDEO) Wounded Warrior Returns to Bed
Local tracker Kim Cabrera captured this video of a black bear returning to its bed. Cabrera Writes:
The black bear I trailed in a previous video returned to use his bed. Remember the bear bed I showed in that other video? Here is the bear using it. Unfortunately, the camera chose this moment to break down. I got one video, then a bunch of still shots. That was it. So I will need to replace the camera and hope the bear returns to this bear bed again. Or I need to find another one! I am sure there are more! Note that this is the same bear we saw on video two years ago eating grass. Kym named him Wounded Warrior because of his injured right ear. He still has the flap of injured ear hanging on! Amazing!
