text: Hey Skaters! Is Facebook Stoking You or De-Stoking You? by [cw] webmaster | Oct 12, 2017 | Lifestyle, skateboard, technology | 0 comments Five years ago AXS Longboard Retailer Magazine did a story on Facebook. I was puzzled by the power of social media and was quite taken with a book that laid things out in a vastly different perspective (more on that in a minute). You can read it here. Most of you have probably never even HEARD of this magazine, but it was my way of trying to bring another perspective to the market. It was a business to business publication. I think the piece still stands up but right now, I want to focus my thoughts on how Facebook is affecting folks who actually skate. Before I launch into this, I wanted to let you know about a book that I felt was probably way ahead of its time…or absolutely no where near its time. The book is called, wait for it, This book is 5 years old. It will either delight you or drive you crazy. I am not going to get into the nitty gritty details of some of the insanely passionate arguments that rage daily on FB. I am not going to blast those who spend hours defending their point of view or chastising their fellow skaters. The latest post to cause an explosion of heated debate concerns a video that features a skater destroying a helmet – both with a baseball bat and by actually jumping on it. Adding to this, the rider in the video skates down a hill without a helmet. WARNING: I am not going to get into a debate over helmets right now. Concrete Wave publishes photos with people wearing helmets and NOT wearing helmets. We will NEVER turn away a photo if a rider has a helmet on. I will save the helmet debate for another column. What I am most interested in is this: Is Facebook actually killing the stoke of skaters more than it is adding to their stoke? This is a very hard question to answer, but I sense that it's not limited to longboarding. Have a peek at this column.I am not suggesting that you cut Facebook at of your life. I am merely suggesting that you start to personally examine whether or not Facebook stokes you out as a skater more than it depresses you. If you find yourself not really feeling stoked, then I believe it is time to critically examine why this is happening. I will admit this is something that has happened and continues to happen in my own life. I love Facebook and I hate Facebook. I know that Facebook has been a crucial way for many skate brands to grow their business. I also know that the skate business is cyclical and right now, the feelings of pure stoke often get drowned out by the drama. Don't get me wrong, drama, debate and skateboarding have been woven together since Dogtown and Down South battled in the pages of SkateBoarder and beyond. The difference now of course is that it is 24-7 drama and debate, should you wish. And that really is the key. It's what YOU wish. If you find that the most recent Facebook debate is not warming the cockles of your heart, perhaps it's time for a temporary detox? Here's a challenge to anyone reading this column: can you go 12 hours without posting anything on Facebook? Can you go 24? But beyond this, if Facebook destokes you and yet you continue to spend hours on it, could going for a skate solve the problem?

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools needs to expand high-demand magnet programs, says the school district's leader.
CMS Superintendent Heath Morrison touted magnet schools and programs at an Oct. 4 community forum at Hopewell High School, telling community members the district plans to look at programs – such as International Baccalaureate programs in nearby schools – that the school district can afford to expand.
"We are looking at a variety of options and looking at them (while considering) quality, choice and capital projects," Morrison said.
Many questions at the forum focused on a concern over limited educational options within CMS. The district offers IB programs at 14 schools, including Blythe Elementary, North Mecklenburg High and Alexander Middle, a STEM-focused school, four Montessori programs, a performing arts school, world language academies, a military leadership academy and learning immersion programs at six schools.
Morrison said it has been about five years since the district last opened a magnet school.
Parents said they wanted to see the district expand the number of IB program seats offered at Blythe Elementary, continuing on at Alexander Middle and North Mecklenburg High.
While CMS leadership has been looking into ways to expand school choice, Morrison said its staff also has to consider how increasing options will affect existing schools. A popular magnet program that takes students out of one school could force another to significantly reduce resources or close.
"There's a rippling effect," Morrison said. "(Changes you make are) going to have some kind of impact on other schools."
He also questioned the effectiveness of charter schools – another school choice option controlled by the state, not local school districts, saying they typically fare no better than traditional schools.
He said the recent flurry of charter school openings could affect whether the district chooses to build more schools or magnet programs.
"If three charter schools open (near a school that needs renovations), we would have to ask 'should we wait?'" Morrison said.

Between heading to the Bahamas for Junkanoo Carnival Weekend, recording and editing new videos, and preparing myself for Cuba, May has been extremely busy. I'm late, but I didn't want to end the month without sharing my monthly favorites. Here's what I've been dabbling around with for the month of May.
The Mane Choice
Before this year, I didn't even know The Mane Choice had body products. My cousin has been raving about it since returning natural, but due to me having so many products, I just didn't want to accumulate more. Towards the end of April, I was invited to their Pink Lemonade & Coconut Super Antioxidant & Texture Beautifier Collection Launch and have been using the products ever since. I even gave the White Willow Bark & Cucumber Baby Collection for my nephew to use and my sister said they work well.
Towards the end of the month, I also purchased a ticket to a Rooftop party where The Mane Choice was the head sponsor. I hoped to get more hair products for a giveaway but received their skincare line. I absolutely love the Ancient Egyptian Body Collection and use it daily.
e.l.f. Tinted Lip Oils
One thing I love about the warm/sunny weather is the glow on my skin. For my brown girls, you ever go on vacation and get a nice golden tan? Gorge! I love lipsticks, but use more to matte finishes and glosses in the summer. e.l.f cosmetics sent me two of their new tinted lip oils in Berry Kiss & Coral Kiss. They give a sheer, tinted finish and contain jojoba, apricot, and Vitamin E to help moisturize your lips. You can purchase exclusively on elfcosmetics.com for $6.
Spin for Perfect Skin Brush
Talk about horrible. I purchased the Spin for Perfect Skin on Groupon about 3 years ago and just started using it consistently. The main reason was due to me getting sunburned and eventually peeling from my birthday trip to Martinique. The Spin for Perfect Skin Brush comes with a Single-Speed, Water-Resistant Handle, and 4 removable brush heads. I can use the Exfoliating Facial Brush, Cleansing Facial Brush, Body Brush or Pumice Stone. With warmer weather approaching, I also thought it'd be a good way to test controlling my Tenia Versicolor. I still breakout, but my skin does feel much cleaner on my back. It is comparable to the Clarisonic Mia but more affordable. The only con I have is it needs batteries.
Have you tried any of the items from my May Favorites?

I've blogged repeatedly about my Dad's death. He passed away February 13, 2010. My entire grief process was shared very publicly on this blog. Today I would like to share with you some of the stumbling blocks I had while dealing with Dad's death.
I had to return to work about a week after Dad died. I had to try to put on a happy face. I felt like I needed to be strong. I began telling myself that all I had to do was "fake it til you make it". If I could just keep acting like everything was ok in my world, then it would be… right??
I shoved things away, internally. I convinced myself that others were tired of hearing about my pain. I put up walls, I attempted to ignore the emotions bubbling away inside me. I cried sometimes, but almost always when I was alone. I didn't ask for any help. Instead, I tried to be strong for others.
All of these things… I learned from them, yes. But each one of them acted like huge speed bumps in my grief. Ignoring the pain, well, that's just never going to work.
During that time, Patti Digh posted on Facebook that she did not like the phrase "fake it til you make it". I jumped right in there to tell her just how wrong she was. That sometimes, especially after the death of a loved one, it's exactly the right thing to do. If you are grieving, have to hold down a job, take care of your family, etc, that faking it til you make it is exactly what is needed. Months later, I wrote Patti an email telling her how wrong I was. I'm stubborn like that.
I dove into my online business. I became a certified life coach. I created an Artist Empowerment Class. I showed my photography at local venues. I was unstoppable. And then guess what happened. I stopped. I lost my footing. I became ill. I sat at my computer for hours at a time, and the screen would remain blank. I melted down. There were many times that I thougt of throwing in the towel. What good is an online business with no new ideas. I had lost my mojo.
Not until I had a dream about my Dad, where he spoke to me, did I move forward again. It's been almost 2 years since Dad's death. Throughout those two years, I have not once stopped learning. More than any other singular experience in my life, his death taught me what my path is. I am meant to take all of those lessons and help others. My light in this world is to ease others through this amazingly difficult journey of grief.
Are you grieving? Have you gotten stuck? I can help you… contact me anytime.

Two weeks ago, the revelation that George Bush's severed head appears briefly in an episode of Game of Thrones prompted HBO execs to apologize, strongly condemn the image and then yank the episode from distribution until they could find a way to fix the problem. And now they have.
The network yanked the season-one finale "Fire and Blood" from its HBOGO digital streaming service and halted shipments on all DVD and Blu-ray box sets on June 14 after issuing a public statement both apologizing for the appearance of Bush's head and condemning the use of it in the episode as "disrespectful" and a "careless mistake." Game of Thrones executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss issued an apology the same day, and noted (for the second time) that the use of Bush's head was never intended as a political statement. They just use whatever heads they get when they order bulk body parts for some of the show's more gruesome sequences.
But HBO still promised they'd fix it, and fix it they have, by digitally altering the head. The new model has smaller features and what looks like a generous addition of either stubble or dirt. Take a look at the before and after (the original is on the left):
It definitely looks less like a former president now. If you buy the episode from here on out, this'll be the version of the head you see. Now we wait to find out if HBO gets so worked up about the controversy that they decide to raid our homes for original box sets.

Our color? Not so easy! We are either green, brown, or a combination of these two colors. Our upper lip and our head are however almost always green. There are even specimens partially or completely blue and an albino individual has even been seen in Québec!
Our breeding season occurs during the summer and lasts almost two months. Females will choose a male based on his singing and the quality of the territory he defends against his rivals. Our song is a dry guttural "twung" reminiscent of the pinching of a banjo string.
The Green Frog is very common in Québec and in the Maritimes. The main threats to its survival stem from the destruction of wetlands and the modifications of shorelines along bodies of water.
Maximum size almost 11cm
Aquatic, the Green Frog dwells in permanent water environments: lakes, ponds, bogs, marshes and rivers.
Various insects and other invertebrates. Larger individuals may eat small frogs, small snakes and crayfish.

All drivers know that they need auto insurance if they are going to drive their cars on the road. This is true in all 50 states and the level of coverage needed depends on the laws in your state. For drivers in California, it may be possible to buy a policy and have it take effect on the same day.
It may enable drivers who have just gotten their license or are taking their cars out of storage to drive on the day that they are ready to do so. When you buy a policy, you are allowed to specify what day it takes effect. When you buy insurance online, you can even print out your insurance documents and put them in your car. They will be legal documents that you can show to police or others upon demand.
California car insurance rates do not go up or down just because you have your policy take effect the same day. Therefore, you don't have to worry about a surprise when you go to pay for your policy or worry about overpaying your premium. All you need to do is keep your documents in your car and have them ready in case you ever need to make a claim.

Cecilia Cheung denies being emotionally affected
Cecilia Cheung has recently debunked rumours saying that she was devastated with the news of Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong's romance.
The source alleged that Cecilia has flown to Japan for a solo vacation to calm her mind, but ended up crying in her hotel room every night and turned to alcohol to ease her pain.
However, Cecilia's representative has dismissed such rumours, according to Mingpao News.
In a statement issued on 15 October, the representative stated that the reports were unfounded, and were presented with inconsistent facts.
The company also stressed that they have the right to pursue legal action on the basis of defamation of character, and demanded the deletion of such articles.

UConn football could use the Green Monster. UConn football could really use the green monster.
When reports surfaced this week that discussions between Notre Dame and UConn could lead to a game at Fenway Park in 2014, everybody from Irish coach Brian Kelly to UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni sounded excited. While fretting about the field dimensions, Kelly, a Boston-area guy, said he thought the first football game at Fenway since 1968 would be cool. Pasqualoni raved about the Monster seats and the sausages.
Could this game, a Notre Dame home game, happen? Yes. Will it happen? We'll see.
What the possibility of this game did appear to signal is the new UConn regime's willingness to expand its horizons beyond the Connecticut border.
"In general, we want to play our home games at Rentschler Field," UConn athletic director Warde Manuel said. "That's my first inclination. But given the change in the landscape, what's being done around the country, the opportunity to play one-time games or to move a home game to a bigger venue — what I'd like is the flexibility to look at that if it enhances our football team and university."
"Having said that, I understand the investment the state and the people in the state have made to provide us with a tremendous facility. I would like that flexibility, though, particularly where our fan base is regionally in markets like Boston or New York."
Manuel was cautious. He knows that taxpayers poured $100 million into Rentschler. He knows about the backlash when Notre Dame tried to strong-arm a 10-year deal with UConn without stepping foot in East Hartford. In regards to UConn-Notre Dame at Fenway, in fact, Manuel said even less than his coach, who said that Manuel was working hard on it. "I don't comment on anything schedule-wise until it's finalized," Manuel said. "We don't have a contract to play Notre Dame."
The former lineman at Michigan did give one heck of a one-word answer, though, when asked if he felt that UConn needed to sell its football program more than it has been sold in recent years.
"Yes," Manuel said.
I'm thinking that UConn would look at games against such schools as Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan or Notre Dame at MetLife Stadium. I'm thinking that UConn would look at games like Boston College or Notre Dame at Gillette Stadium or Fenway. One game a year maybe, or every other year. These could be big days for the school's visibility. Those could be big days for the cash coffers, the other green monster.
In the past, I was against moving games away from Rentschler. The seismic shift in college athletics has changed my mind. With the elimination of automatic BCS bids, the mountain no longer will come to the Big East. And with the Big East scraping to remain relevant, even the possibility that Boise State might come to Rentschler once a decade, it's even more incumbent that UConn go to the mountain.
There have been times with UConn when the sizzle was bigger than the steak. Evidence the Fiesta Bowl embarrassment. To go to Notre Dame in 2009 and win in overtime remains a remarkable moment for the program. The Fighting Irish also were a mess, and their fans couldn't wait to run Charlie Weis out of town.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not badmouthing the sizzle. You need it in college football. The game is like boxing in that regard. There aren't a million games like in basketball. You need the hype. Even with the four-team national playoff coming in January 2015, that will leave 118 teams out of the mix. This isn't the 68-team March Madness. Teams still will be looking for the week-to-week bang and lucrative bowl opportunities.
Look at the days leading into the 2010 season opener at Michigan. Even though Denard Robinson ended up throwing a wet maize and blue blanket on it, folks around here were juiced. Compare that to the season opener this year against UMass. Zzzzzz. Sorry, I dozed off there. The Huskies are a one-point favorite Saturday at Western Michigan, which won at the Rent last year. Even if UConn comes away with a meaty win, the sizzle will say, ho-hum, another MAC team. The game isn't on TV, and 30,200-seat Waldo Stadium figures to be half full.
The Huskies had 5,000 empty seats for UMass and 6,000 for a good N.C. State team. The point here is that UConn football needs a jolt. Not all of it has to do with W's and L's. The 2011 and 2012 schedules, save the Edsall Bowl, lacked that jolt.
Playing in New York solely for the sake of playing in New York, of course, isn't the answer. Syracuse played USC on Sept. 8 at MetLife Stadium and the announced crowd was 39,570. There might have been 5,000-10,000 fewer in attendance. That's not good for a stadium that holds 82,561.
Syracuse has a game against Penn State in 2013 and one against Notre Dame in 2014 scheduled for MetLife. Those are the games that UConn should be looking for, big draws close enough for their fan base. If you do it right, fill the place, a one-game equal split can be more lucrative than a home-and-home series.
UConn has Maryland and Michigan scheduled at the Rent for 2013. Any time you can Hail! The victors valiant and Hail! Edsall not-so-valiant in the same season, well, that's an attractive schedule. As part of a home-and-home series, there's also a game at the Rent against Tennessee in 2015. Beyond that, there's work to be done.
There has been much speculation about how the Big East will configure its 14-team football conference in 2015. Brett McMurphy of ESPN, citing sources, reported that the most popular model right now is one in which UConn plays in a division with Louisville, South Florida, San Diego State, SMU, Navy and Memphis. The Huskies would play Rutgers every year and rotate one other school each year in cross-division games. That would mean Boise State once every six years on the schedule, once every 12 at the Rent. Frankly, that would suck. All the more need for games with some pop. It's high time that UConn and Boston College start playing again, maybe an even-split purse game at Gillette to re-ignite the rivalry followed by a home-and-home series.
"I've had good conversations with [Boston College AD] Gene DeFilippo in general about the schools' relationship," Manuel said.
With DeFilippo leaving, of course, those general conversations will need to become specific with a new AD whose name reportedly could be Wisconsin deputy AD Sean Frazier.
Although athletics director Jack Swarbrick called media reports that Notre Dame will play UConn in Fenway Park in 2014 "inaccurate," there were no reports saying that it would definitely happen. Fenway wants to host college football. UConn would jump at the opportunity. Talks date to Jeff Hathaway. No, there haven't been hard-core negotiations, money, tickets, etc. Yes, we have to see how Notre Dame's move to the ACC affects its scheduling. Still, it's a much better bet than Bobby Valentine returning as Red Sox manager.
"I am sorry to see them go," UConn President Susan Herbst responded in an email last week after Notre Dame announced its Big East departure. "I hope we can figure out how to play them still, in special games, even when they have left the conference."
In retrospect, that probably was foreshadowing.

Ironman Triathlon Tattoos
The Ironman Triathlon event is considered as one of the most difficult athletic competitions in the world. Annually held in Hawaii, this contest consists of 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bicycle ride and a 26.2-mile marathon run. Only a few get to finish this grueling race, and most of them opt for Ironman Triathlon tattoos to show that they have endured the difficulties of the event. Most wearers usually ask for the M-dot, the symbol of the triathlon event. As the name suggests, there is a dot above the M, so that it looks like a person.
The M-dot tattoos of the Ironman Triathlon represent the head (the dot) and the body (M) of the individual. This insignia conveys the need for a person to have a strong mind and an even stronger body in order to prevail through the race. Not a lot of people get to be qualified for this competition, let alone finish the race, that is why a lot of finishers who have managed to complete the triathlon decide to wear a permanent badge of honor – their very own Ironman Triathlon tattoos. Whether it is just a plain M-dot tattoo, or a colorful one filled with symbolisms, this kind of ink is what Ironman triathletes need to show their endurance, vigor and strength – the true qualities of an "Ironman."

"We appreciate her and wish to recognize her." Following a standing ovation from her staff, Todman said, "It has been an honor to do this work. It is hard work…it comes with pressure." She said not only is there pressure to perform well, but also to "take criticism with grace." "I've been able to do that because of the people here in front of me," she said, pointing to DCHA staff in the audience. "Thank you for your leadership."

Stomas: What You Need to KnowFriday, January 6th, 2017
There are two main types of stomas, and they both have certain "ideal" characteristics in common. Do you know what they are?
You say potato, I say potahto. You say ostomy, I say … stoma. Huh? Those of us in wound care know that it's not uncommon to hear the terms ostomy and stoma used interchangeably, even though they have different meanings.
In the WCEI blog, "Let's Talk Ostomy Types," we described the types and sub-types of bowel and bladder ostomy surgeries. Now, we're focusing on an aspect of ostomies that wound care professionals experience directly in practice: the stoma.
Let's Talk Ostomy TypesThursday, June 16th, 2016
(Adapted from About Ostomies: Ostomy 101 by Shield Healthcare)
A comprehensive guide to the different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies.
Do you know your ostomy types? There are three kinds of bowel or bladder ostomies, and with this handy guide, you can brush up on each one – including the multiple sub-types. But first, let's cover the basics.
Ostomy Surgery
Ostomy surgery is a surgical operation that redirects body wastes through a new outside opening, called a stoma. The stoma is a new exit point created to divert feces or urine. In some cases, multiple stomas are created to divert both. The term "ostomy" is used interchangeably by patients to refer to their medical condition, their stoma, and/or the appliance used to collect waste.
Intestinal ostomies are most often performed in conjunction with: tumor removal; to permit repair of bowel injuries; congenital defects; or as a last resort, treatment in medically unmanageable cases of inflammatory bowel diseases. Indications for urinary diversion include: tumor removal; congenital or nerve defects; or injuries that take away voluntary bladder control.
Types of Ostomies
There are three types of bowel or bladder ostomies, along with multiple sub-types:

We talk with a judge Posted by Rebekah Denn Loaded Potato Pinwheels/Pillsbury Bake-Off Glori Spriggs of Nevada took home $1 million earlier this week when her 'Loaded Potato Pinwheels' won the grand prize in the 46th Pillsbury Bake-Off. Her victory came partly thanks to Seattle-area resident Alice Currah, one of this year's contest judges and author of Savory Sweet Life, as well as a columnist for PBS Parents. When I am looking for a recipe that's both appetizing and realistic, something a working parent can feel good about making and the whole family can enjoy, sometimes I just search the Internet for the ingredients I have on hand along with Alice's name. I'm not surprised Pillsbury wanted her creative and can-do perspective. I talked with Alice by phone on her way back from the airport after the 3-day Vegas gala, where the judge's decisions were announced by Padma Lakshmi. Here's an edited, condensed version of our conversation — and some hints for home cooks dreaming of winning Bake-Off #47. Q: What made you say yes to judging the contest? A: "I've always had a super, big fascination with this particular contest, since I was little. It's been around for 60 years! I always thought 'it would be so amazing to win that.' But the one year I decided I wanted to enter, it was after I started blogging. Food professionals are not eligible. I was so sad — that was a bucket list item for me. I feel like it's gone full circle." Q: Did you get to taste the recipes over the contest's 3 days, or was it all at once? How did you taste 100 recipes without hating food halfway through? A: "They set up 100 ovens (at the same time), and if you look on Instagram under the hashtag #bakeoff you'll see what the floor looked like! They had, I think, 3 hours to try their recipe. It was a new oven to (contestants,) so they had to get used to that. Pillsbury provides enough ingredients to make it three times. Some of the recipes came in very quickly, some came in towards the end… My personal concern was, can I give as much diligence to the last bite as I did to the first? I would say that surprisingly, I was consistent all the way through, and I think most people were. "I think cream rises to the top. We all knew that right from the get-go, when anything really stood out. At the same time, there were some I really loved that didn't make it past the first rounds. Everyone had their favorites that for whatever reason got eliminated. There was a lot of discussion, and… at the end it was unanimous." Q: How can people improve their chances of winning? A: "The best advice I can give them is to read the rules and read exactly what the contest people are looking for in an entry. This is the granddaddy of contests, and the judges are looking at numerous things — it's not going to be taste alone. I don't think you're going to find an apple pie winner (for instance), there's nothing new about that — unless (you can create) something so different about it, something that's really great that is not ordinary." Q: Given the dollar amounts involved, were you nervous about the responsibility of choosing a winner? A: "(Contest organizers) do a very good job with a lot of integrity. We were told to not to interact with contestants, to keep our distance…the awards ceremony started at 7 p.m., we had up until 6:45 p.m. to make the decision." Q: "How long did it actually take?" A: "I think it was close to 4 p.m. when we finished. I just thought, wow, someone's life is forever changed. "The (identity) of the winner was revealed to us at the end. We didn't know anything about them, they were just bringing them out. We were very excited when they told us who this person was… the Bake-Off is the only contest she had ever entered. She had entered it before, but never made it to the finals. Another cool thing that came out of this was the second place winner. You can only advance to the finals three times — (after that) you are no longer eligible to enter the finals, I think it's to discourage these serial recipe contest people who do this for a living. The second place winner (was a third time finalist), and when I saw her name and photo come up on the screen during the awards ceremony, I thought, that's a really great way to go out." Alice Currah (left) with the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place Pillsbury Bake-Off winners Q: What made the loaded potato skins worth the grand prize for you? A: "She nailed it as far as all the things we were looking for. She put her own twist on something. There was a limit as to how many ingredients you could use this time around, you have to figure out what's the best way to use seven. One of (the winner)'s elements was seasoned potatoes, that was pretty smart, almost a two-for-one kind of ingredient…It was a very tasty bite, when you're eating it, it's "Holy hell, that's good." Q: If you were still eligible to enter, what recipe would you develop? A: "I have a recipe on my site — it's not 7 ingredients, but I could make something similar to it — a gluten-free shortbread pecan bar. It's a pecan bar with caramel and bacon. I brought it to a Bon Appetit bake-off in New York…I think something like that, where you…might think 'it's disgusting!' but then you eat it and you love it, I like those kinds of challenges for myself." Q: What more should people know about the Bake-Off? A: "You have to be in it to win it. When people hear the words 'one million dollars' — I used to be this way, I used to just not be confident. It kills me to this day that I never entered. If you love baking and cooking, and you have a special recipe everyone raves about, you should do it. You never know. Once you're there, you really don't know who's going to win." Comments

Next month is when the craziness begins.
If everything goes to plan (fingers crossed!!!) Josh, Hadley and I will be moving to a new neighborhood about 20 minutes away from where we live now in the beginning of May. Buying our first house together has been exciting and stressful but we couldn't be more pumped about meeting new neighbors, making this house our home and raising our family there! I am less pumped about packing.... UGHHHH.
Shortly after that Josh's family is coming to visit from Montana, we go to the beach for Memorial Day weekend and then Hadley turns 1 on May 30th. Holy fuggin' shit. The craziness!!!
So until all of that begins we've been bunkering down and enjoying this leisurely time together :) And we've been taking lots and lots of naps.
Hadley has developed a new love of pillows... including Cali's dog bed...
There's been some yummy food eating going on... more on the home made pork pot stickers and Oreo Nutella swirl ice cream later this week. Basically all you need to know for now is WOAH. YUM.
Hadley experienced her first bite of chocolate cake. I think she enjoyed it.
But she may have enjoyed her foot more...
Josh and I finally finished the Wolf of Wall Street (apparently we can't handle a 3 hour movie after 8pm anymore...... #oldfarts). I thought it was hilarious and have Leo's dance moves burned in my brain FOREVER. We started watching The Kings of Summer but didn't finish that one yet either. Seriously.... old farts. But I am loving it so far... especially the soundtrack!
Other than that we've been straight chillin'.
Hope your weekend was filled with sunshine and lots of love :)

Leones Azules de los Industriales 11, Sabuesos de Holguin 6Written by Administrator - Tuesday, 20 January 2015
Industriales built up a 5-0 lead over the first five innings, let it get away in the top of the sixth, then put it away with a big bottom of the seventh, in a game characterized by sloppy pitching.
Industriales open the scoring with a double by RF Dairon Blanco and an RBI single by CF Carlos Alberto before the first out was recorded in the bottom of the first. Alberto moved from first to third on a passed ball that C Franklin Aballe had trouble finding, then scored on a sacrifice fly by SS Lourdes Gourriel. They added a home run by 1B Alexander Malleta in the third. In the bottom of the fifth, Industriales benefited from two walks with two out by Holguin starter LHP Lander Moreira. Moreira was replaced by Maikel Sainz, who proceed to hit the first batter he faced, loading the bases. The next batter, DH Lisban Correa, hit a two-RBI single, and Industriales led 5-0. Sainz was replaced by Carlos A. Leon after facing only two batters.
Alazanes de Granma 6, Vegueros de Pinar del Rio 3Written by Administrator - Friday, 16 January 2015
A near-capacity crowd at Estadio Màrtires de Barbados in Bayamo got to see an excellent ball game.
Pinar del Rio was in control of this game for the first eight innings. They got two runs in the top of the first on an RBI double by DH Donal Duarte, and an RBI single by 1B Ramon Lunar. They added a run in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly by 3B Osniel Madera.
It looked for a long time like these three runs would be enough. Pinar del Rio got an excellent start from Erlis Casanova, who held Granma scoreless for five innings. Both he and reliever Livan Moinelo got some key strikeouts, and were also helped by double plays in the bottom of the first and fifth innings, a strikeout followed by a throw-out at second to end the second inning, and a good play by SS Yanciel Ajete to end the fourth inning with two runners left on base. Granma started the sixth inning with a base hit by SS Adrian Moreno, and Casanova turned the ball over to Moinelo. A long at-bat by LF Guillermo Jose Aviles resulted in a ground ball and Moreno out at second.
Alazanes de Granma 12, Cazadores de Artemisa 2Written by Administrator - Thursday, 15 January 2015
My first visit to a baseball game in Cuba was stopped by the mercy rule ("regla chili" in Spanish) after 6 1/2 innings.
Granma loaded the bases in each of the first three innings. In the first inning, they got a run on an RBI double by 1B Guillermo Jose, a two-RBI double by RF Urmani Guerra, and another RBI double by 3B Lazaro Alfredo. They left the bases loaded in the second inning, but in the third inning, they loaded the bases on singles by Guerrai and C Yulexis La Rosa, and an intentional walk, then SS Adrian Moreno hit a grand slam. It was 8-0 after three innings. Granma made it 12-0 in the fifth, with a sacrifice fly by Jose, a two-RBI single by 1B Yordanis Samon, and an RBI single by Guerra.
Granma starter Lazaro Blanco had a shutout with two out in the bottom of the sixth. He should have gotten out of the inning with a double play, but a suspect call at first kept the inning going. On the next play, the shortstop lost the handle on a routine ground ball. DH Alberto Toledo ended the shutout with an RBI single, and RF Lazaro D. Perez hit a shallow single that scored another run. Blanco left the game after that with six hits (three of them in the sixth inning, and two more by CF Robersis Ramos), zero earned runs, and 3 strikeouts.

March 25, 1985, Section C, Page 14Buy Reprints
Arnold Schoenberg's ''Pierrot Lunaire,'' which was the highlight of a generally first-rate Guild of Composers concert at Merkin Hall on Thursday night, has long counted as a classic of 20th-century music. But it has not been a piece that, in this writer's experience, has actually
sounded very good.
The principal problem has lain in Schoenberg's ''Sprechgesang,'' wherein nearly every note in the vocal line of the score is meant to be half sung, half spoken. The soprano soloist usually errs on one side or the other, and adds distracting, siren-like glissandos and unbearable coyness to her descriptions of the moon-struck Pierrot's cavortings. In addition, the chamber ensemble normally plays in the rigid and tense manner that so often afflicts American contemporary-music-making.
Thursday's performance was altogether superior. Under the direction of the Schoenberg specialist Jacques- Louis Monod, the music danced and sang, like good music in any style. The playing was pristine, technically. But the musicians transcended the notes and bar-lines to reveal the coloristic imagination and dramatic acuity of Schoenberg's imagination.
The instrumentalists were Robert Stallman, flutes; Timothy Eddy, cello; Anand Devendra, clarinets; Shem Guibbory, violin and viola, and Christopher Oldfather, piano.
But all that would have been for naught without a convincing soloist. Bethany Beardslee, who was once married to Mr. Monod and who had reportedly retired last year, did an absolutely masterly job with the vocal part. Except for a slight tendency to sing out at supposedly sung- spoken notes at the top of the staff, she managed the balancing act between the two modes of expression beautifully, with the blunter peculiarities of Schoenberg's style deftly limned rather than crudely stressed. Even more important, she caught the mood of these harlequin vignettes without the slightest trace of archness.
Before the intermission, the pianist Alan Feinberg played Susan Blaustein's impressively individual, densely chromatic ''Fantasy'' (1980) - impressive because Miss Blaustein manages such a level of personal passion in an idiom so often employed formalistically - and the first performance of George Edwards's ''Suave Mari Magno'' (1984). This last was an avowed attempt ''to swim effortlessly and coherently along the continuum between the tonal and the atonal.'' The piece was most notable for some thundering rhetoric that sounded rather like Scriabin.
In between Mr. Feinberg's worthy efforts came another first performance, this time of ''The Furies'' (1984), settings of Anne Sexton poems by Eric Chasalow for soprano (the earnest Christine Schadeberg) and taped synthesized sound. The poems are wonderful; the settings, to this taste, fall too readily into the disjunct vocal line and predictable synthesizer sound-effects of 1950's-style electronic music.

A Life Celebration is scheduled for family and friends of Sheridan County Clerk Audrey Koltiska. The event will be held at the Historic Sheridan Inn from 3 to 6 pm Wednesday, March 31st.
Audrey Fay Koltiska was born April 30, 1948 in Sheridan to George and Lena Koltiska. She was raised on the family ranch on Cat Creek, east of Sheridan. She attended Holy Name School, Sheridan High School, Sheridan College, and Parks School of Business in Denver. She spent the last forty years serving the people of Sheridan County, the last twelve of which she was elected County Clerk.
She is survived by her son Tom Koltiska, sister Deb Adams and brothers Gary Koltiska and Robert Koltiska, along with numerous nephews, nieces and extended family.
Champion Ferries Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in Audrey's name to Ducks Unlimited: www.ducksunlimited.org
My loving memories...
My first rememberence of Audrey was as a child in Kindergarten when I would go over to her house after school with TJ (latch-key kids that we were). Back in the good old days when you could do such a thing. I really looked up to TJ as a big brother then. I regret the sorrow he must be feeling in the wake of Audrey's passing. My heart goes out to you TJ.
My final memories of Audrey were as my next door neighbor on Linden Street. Her girls in the backyard running around. I hope somebody is going to look after them with as much care and love as Audrey had for them. Her hearding the "other pets" back to Rob's house. The unspoken mowing competition between her and my husband to keep the lawns looking nice. Don't tell him (sorry honey), but I think Audrey won!!
I no longer live in Sheridan and wish that I could be there today for her Celebration of Life to share these memories with the entire family - I miss all of you and my condolences to you all.
letter to the editor
Ronald Dailey wrote a great letter to the editor in today's Sheridan Press. Everyone should read it. God bless Audrey and her family.
I worked as a landman in
I worked as a landman in Sheridan County for a few years and knew Audrey, she was always so kind and helpful. My heart goes out to her friends and family.
I didn't know Audrey, but
I didn't know Audrey, but know some of her family members. To her family members, friends, and co-workers, I'm sorry for your loss.

Going off to college is both exciting and scary. For many it is a time to further their life that will make or break them. It might be difficult for you to go to school and make good grades. Study skill courses can teach you valuable lessons towards academic success.College is different from high school […]

Our Tips For Finding College Success Are Tops
Have you been considering returning to school for a long time? Have you always wished that you'd like to do something about your future? College could be the answer for you. You deserve a chance to strut your own opportunities.
Make a checklist of all the needed or desired tools and supplies before preparing for college. You need to be prepared for school to avoid calling your parents to help. This holds especially true if you're far away.
Eat as healthy foods while away at college.The freshman 15 can make a negative impact on your life if you do not urban legend. Make sure to be mindful of your intake. Avoid overconsuming fast foods and pizza on the go. While it may seem like a cheap and quick option, it'll be detrimental to your education and body.
It might not take longer than driving yourself. You also save time because you are not having to hunt for parking. You can even save a few bucks from gas or parking passes. This is also a good way of saving the planet.
If you're going to a different state or wish to live on the campus, figure out if having a car is really ideal. It is hard to find free parking.
Don't buy books until after your first class.You might discover that you do not really need all the recommended books. This is especially true for hybrid or online classes you are taking. You can often gather all of the information you need by following online resources and lecture notes.
Know what campus security's phone number. This will allow you can get help if you need them. You may never need to use the number, but you will be glad you memorized the number if you ever need help.
Take detailed notes in college for studying purposes. Taking notes helps you learn the information in your brain. You will also be a step ahead when you study.
You can get a chance to experience in the field that you are interested in. You can even get an offer of a job from the company you intern with! Your college has a career center that can help you find an internship, so do it!
Not only will the career center help you get a job when you graduate, they also post part time jobs that you could do while in campus or at the surrounding areas close to your school.
Enroll in many different elective courses.The freshman year makes the perfect time to try new things and challenge yourself.
Don't take too many classes at one time. Try to only pick one or two difficult classes and a couple easy ones.
You should consider implementing a sleep schedule for yourself. You will have a difficult time focusing if you don't sleep well.
It will probably take a while to make friends. You can be proactive by showing up early on the first day. You can offer help to people that aren't aware of whether or not they're in the right area or not. This breaks the ice and makes for a good conversation with others.
Go to social events during orientation to meet people. A lot of people don't know anyone on their first day and can start to feel lonely. Once you start meeting people, you will begin to gain a sense of belonging.
Family Housing
If you're returning to school and have kids, you may think living on campus is impossible. This might just not be the case. Family housing is available on numerous college campuses. Most colleges see that not 18 years old and just graduated from high school. Ask the colleges about family housing since it fills up early.
You should now be more comfortable with the concept of returning to school. You'll find many people around who are in the same boat. Lots of folks have returned to school following a lengthy hiatus. Do not have a feeling of fear. When you take college seriously, you will be successful.
Tips That Will Help You Succeed In College
Have you been at home with your children for a long time? Have you come to the conclusion that you'd gone further with your education? College is probably the answer for you.You certainly deserve a chance to strut your own opportunities.
Don't procrastinate with applying for scholarships or financial aid. By securing every possible dollar, you will not have to borrow as much money. Come up with a good system that lets you manage your applications as early before deadlines as possible.
If you cannot pay for college, then start exploring your loan options as soon as possible. College is a place that will help you get a high paying job later, so it should be okay to acquire a little bit of debt for the future rewards.
Always bring all needed testing materials before an exam. The instructor does not always have extra supplies, so you have to bring everything with you.
Eat a quality breakfast before a test. Even just a yogurt or apple can help. Your brain cannot function as well on an empty stomach and its growling will distract you are trying to take a test.
When you are attending school, you may find it easy to stay up for a party and then do homework, but you need your rest.If you don't sleep enough, you might not retain the information you need to and slip in your classes.
It's important that you learn all you can about your classes.
There are many distractions on campus, but you must focus on your education as well. Promise yourself at least one complete study hour each and every day. Even if you do not think you need to on that particular day, stay with it. It will help you in the habit of doing it.
Register as early for classes. If you wait to long, you may miss out on a class you need.
You can get a chance to experience in the field that you will be doing after college. You can even go back once done for a job from the company you intern with! Your college has a career center that can help you find an internship, so do it!
Not only will the career center help you get a job when you graduate, they also post part time jobs that you could do while in campus or at the surrounding areas close to your school.
Don't spend your morning "cup-o-joe" from a cafe every morning. It might have the convenience of getting coffee on the run, but it's a lot cheaper. A good coffee machine is a great investment that will save you money in the future.
If you can't make up your mind between a few potential majors, take the introductory classes in each one. You will get a feel for each as you do the homework.
If you work full time, try going to college online. Online schools are perfect for non-traditional matriculants who must study remotely or have odd schedules.Online universities allow you to complete courses however and situation.
If you have an internship, do your best in it, even if it has no relation to your major.
It is easier to succeed when those around you are serious about their studies too. You can still have fun in the group of friends you go with. You could find friends that treat college in this manner.
Give yourself a breather every so often. Studying too much can cause burnout. Your parents probably do not think that you can study too much, but that really isn't wise.
You will have a great time and also save money. Make arrangements with your roommates.
Do not join the campus student government until you are a sophomore. Use your freshman year to figure out which position you'd like to fill and how you could get elected.
Surely the advice you've just read has left you feeling more confident and better prepared to face college. You aren't alone. Lots of folks have returned to school following a lengthy hiatus. Don't fear! Going to school can work for you, if you work for it.

Yummy Chocolate-Nut-Like Brownies
I have always been one who looks at a recipe and can envision how to make it "MJ friendly" or my own based on personal preference. I subscribe to the magazine Cooking Light and immediately crack it open when it comes in. This nut-free recipe was adapted from the March 2014 Issue to be dairy, soy, and gluten free (and with less sugar than the original version). Sabrina is also tinkering with a version of this to be egg free as well so check back for updates.
Any time a pan of these brownies are made – they do not last more than 24 hours in our house. They have met with rave reviews to unsuspecting company who are shocked to learn after eating them that they so allergy-friendly…
1 1/2 tbsp flax meal
1/4 cup untoasted sesame oil *Note I used almost a quarter cup of that and a little bit of
sunflower oil
3 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine; coarsely chopped (you could also use ghee)
1/2 cup enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks
1/2 cup cane sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup oat flour
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup tahini (*Note Sabrina and I both think you could sub this for other nut butters and it would be just as good)
1 tbsp turbinado sugar (or brown sugar)
Combine oil(s), margarine and chocolate in a glass bowl on top of a simmering pot of water, or in a double boiler if you have one (I used the glass bowl). Melt chocolate stirring often, be careful not to let the water underneath boil too much (or it will toast the oil more which can have a bit of a burnt taste).
Pour chocolate mixture into a bowl, add cane sugar and stir with a whisk until combined. Add 2 of the 3 eggs and stir again. Add in vanilla and salt.
Fold in flour, one type at a time. Add flax. Stir. Your batter will be pretty thick – that's ok. Line a square (not glass) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly coat/brush the sides in oil to further prevent sticking. Pour batter into pan.
In a small bowl, combine your remaining ingredients – egg, turbinado sugar (brown sugar) and tahini. Stir until well mixed.
Drop various size teaspoonfuls of mixture into batter – doesn't need to be pretty. Once done, swirl with a knife until you have a marbled effect.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted comes clean) at 350 degrees. Cool for 20-30 minutes then remove to a wire rack for further cooling.
Sabrina – I first tried these yummy brownies at Rebecca's and we all instantly fell in love with the flavours that the combination of sesame and chocolate bring. They were delicious.
We had recently made the decision to remove eggs from the Monkey's diet, as they are a common allergen, to see if he reacts to them so I wanted to make these egg free as well. My first attempt, although still delicious, were a bit flat and much fudgier then the ones we had sampled at Rebecca's. I couldn't simply sub a 2 flax eggs for the 2 real eggs in the recipe. Even though they were still delicious the first time I wasn't completely satisfied.
I decided that I would play with the proportions of the flours in the next batch so I increased the buckwheat flour, added more flax meal, added 1/2 a tsp of baking powder to give it rise and also used 3 flax eggs instead of 2. These new proportions delivered a perfect brownie which had an almost identical texture to the egg version that Rebecca had originally made. So below is my version of these delicious sesame brownies.
¼ cup sesame oil
3 tbsp tahini
½ cup enjoy life chocolate mini chips
½ cup cane sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp flax meal mixed with 9 tbsp water – set aside
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/3 cup oat flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp flax meal (this is in addition to the ones above)
¼ cup tahini
2 tbsp maple syrup
I first mixed together my flax meal and water, set aside. Preheated my oven to 350 and greased a 9×9 Pyrex dish with coconut oil.
I then measured out my dry ingredients – buckwheat, oat, flax meal, baking powder and salt. Stir well and set this aside.
Combine oil, tahini, chocolate, and vanilla in a glass bowl on top of a simmering pot of water, or in a double boiler if you have one (I used the glass bowl). Stir constantly. To make sure not to burn the delicate chocolate once my pot is simmering I remove it from burner before placing my glass bowl over top.
Once my chocolate and oils were melted I added my wet flax meal and sugar to the mixture and stirred well. I then poured my wet into the center of my dry and stirred until everything was nicely incorporated. The batter will be very thick.
Next pour the batter into your greased pan and using the the back of my baking spatula I spread the batter out evenly.
Mix together the 1/4 cup of tahini with the maple syrup. I dropped this in small batches all over the tip of the batter and then swirled it around to distribute evenly. This allows the brownie to bake more evenly otherwise I found the tahini mixture would fall through the dough and those sections would not cook fully.
Place in the oven for 20 – 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not over bake these or they will be dry.
Now you are probably wondering why are our directions also completely different and the truth is I am lazy. It was quicker to mix the flours together and then simply add the chocolate mixture to it. So either of our directions should work for whichever recipe you choose to make.
Happy eating!
Rebecca and Sabrina

Winner of the Second Annual Wild Onion Novella Contest, judged by Lindsay Hunter
A tree falls in 1955, and in its wreckage spores of poisonous mushrooms begins to grow.

Each of them come to understand the ways in which their lives have crossed because of Haze, and how they can begin living again, together. Mycology is a quiet, sharp examination about the ways in which we and others can keep ourselves from growing, and how the right people can help us repair that damage.

Court Bars N.J. Man From Suing District Again
Officials of the Kittatinny school district in Newton, N.J., will be happy if they never again encounter a civil-rights lawyer named Edward J. Gaffney Jr.
After a recent decision by a federal judge prohibiting Mr. Gaffney from filing any new lawsuits against the district, that wish may well come true. But school officials may have a harder time getting their hands on the $105,000 in legal penalties Mr. Gaffney owes them.
Whatever happens with the money, the Kittatinny district's action against the local legal gadfly represents a successful use of an arcane federal rule increasingly being used by districts to counter suits they see as frivolous or harassing.
Mr. Gaffney, a 1977 graduate of the rural district's single school, which serves grades 7-12, has been a thorn in school officials' sides for several years, according to court documents. He has represented several students in civil-rights suits alleging that officials failed to follow proper disciplinary procedures.
Mr. Gaffney has not won a single suit against the district. But the litigation has cost the school system tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and scores of hours in staff time, according to Superintendent Robert G. Walker.
Legal Harassment Alleged
To deter Mr. Gaffney from filing any more federal suits, the district's lawyers turned to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Rule 11 requires lawyers to insure that suits are "well grounded in fact'' and "warranted by existing law'' or by strong arguments for the modification or reversal of existing case law. Lawyers who push complaints or motions found to be frivolous or designed to harass another party can be hit with financial sanctions, often equal to the other side's legal costs.
Two federal judges have found that Mr. Gaffney violated Rule 11 in actions against the Kittatinny district. In one case, the lawyer was assessed a $5,000 sanction. In the more recent action, following the dismissal of a suit he filed on behalf of a disciplined student, Mr. Gaffney was ordered to pay a $100,000 penalty to the district to cover some of its legal costs.
In setting the amount of the second sanction this year, U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel A. Pisano said Mr. Gaffney had "abused the legal system to harass'' the district and had "placed a considerable and unnecessary burden on the public.''
"The manner in which Mr. Gaffney has conducted this litigation demonstrates that he has committed every transgression Rule 11 is intended to deter,'' the judge wrote.
Mr. Gaffney, whose office telephone has been disconnected, could not be reached for comment last week. In an affidavit filed with the court, however, he denied he had any animus toward the school.
Mr. Gaffney also told The Star-Ledger newspaper of Newark, N.J., that the $100,000 sanction, imposed in February, was "outrageous'' and "mind-boggling.'' The lawyer had told the court that such a penalty would leave him broke.
The district so far has been unsuccessful in its efforts to get paid.
'They Should Be Penalized'
The fine in the Kittatinny case is said by legal experts to be among the largest ever in a case involving a school district. Such rulings are making Rule 11 a popular tactic for districts seeking to ward off costly federal suits over issues ranging from alleged discrimination to the content of curricular materials.
"We advise attorneys for districts to use Rule 11,'' said August W. Steinhilber, the general counsel of the National School Boards Association. "If someone is filing frivolous lawsuits, they should be penalized.''
Rule 11 was strengthened about six years ago when the provision for financial sanctions was added, Mr. Steinhilber said. The provision applies only to the federal court system; most states' civil-procedure rules do not authorize similar sanctions, he said.
Districts are equally subject to the federal rules, and some have been accused of violating Rule 11. But the rule appeals to school officials as a way of recouping legal costs and deterring future suits.
In 1991, for example, a federal appeals court imposed sanctions on a lawyer and a plaintiff who sued the Joshua, Tex., district over its policy of searching students for drugs. Finding that the suit was frivolous, a federal district judge set the penalty at nearly $85,000, although an appeals court later reduced the sanction to $21,500.
In another case, a federal judge last year granted the request of the Kenosha, Wis., district to impose sanctions on Superintendent Anthony Biscaglia, who had sued the school board in a dispute over his performance. The order for sanctions equal to the board's legal expenses is being appealed.
However, not all districts' requests for sanctions have been granted. In March, a federal judge rejected the Philadelphia system's request for Rule 11 sanctions against plaintiffs who had sued in a dispute over whether a school choir could sing religious songs. The judge who had dismissed the suit said that while the plaintiffs' legal arguments were novel, they were neither unreasonable nor frivolous.
"Rule 11 sanctions are never appropriate when a party's only sin was being ... unsuccessful,'' U.S. District Judge Clifford Scott Green wrote.
Discipline Dispute
The $100,000 sanction against Mr. Gaffney stems from a case he filed in 1991 on behalf of Robert Giangrasso, a Kittatinny student disciplined for allegedly threatening to punch a teacher.
After a brief hearing before school officials, the student was suspended and later placed in homebound instruction. Mr. Giangrasso, who was under an individualized education plan for a learning disability, was placed at another school before returning to Kittatinny and graduating last year.
The suit claimed that the student was suspended without proper notice of the charges and that officials conspired to persuade his mother to place him in a school for the emotionally disturbed.
The district asked that the suit be dismissed, arguing both that the student had been given two suspension hearings and that he in fact was never placed in a school for emotionally disturbed students. U.S. District Judge H. Lee Sarokin granted the district's motion last November and ordered Rule 11 sanctions imposed on Mr. Gaffney because the suit was not well grounded in the facts.
Judge Pisano, who reviewed the case to make a recommendation of sanctions to Judge Sarokin, noted Mr. Gaffney's "history of fierce disputes'' with the Kittatinny district.
In one case, according to court documents, Mr. Gaffney came to the school and confronted officials, threatening to "smear'' the superintendent in The New York Times.
In another incident cited in legal papers, Mr. Gaffney appeared uninvited at the district's law firm, searching for documents and calling some members of the firm "snake attorneys.''
Mr. Gaffney bears "an obvious animosity'' toward the district and its officials, Judge Pisano wrote.
In an affidavit filed with the judge, however, Mr. Gaffney stated that his relationship with his alma mater had been wrongly characterized as hostile. "Not only am I not hostile,'' he wrote, "but I am considered by many who personally know me as being rather passive.''
He added that he had "admiration and respect'' for "many of the professionals'' at the school.
