Saccomano Academics 2014-2015 School Year:
All information, registration, billing and scheduling policies are posted within our website. If you prefer to not navigate through our website, you can complete our Inquiry Form and we will email you direct links and information for the academic support specified.
The Saccomano Academic Center provides an array of support for students attending the area's public and private schools. We have superb private instruction for most subjects by dedicated, proven educators. A majority of our staff are retired teachers who enjoy and value the quality that one-to-one instruction provides.
With our close proximity to Cherry Creek High School, we have found that students who take difficult classes benefit greatly from a regular schedule of supportive curriculum classes. We have developed SaccoMath and SaccoScience Club to add support and help master some of Creek's most difficult classes.
SINGLE PRIVATE SESSION APPOINTMENTS: Single session appointments may be scheduled as needed and are subject to availability. You can view our online scheduler directly and book available appointments up to one week in advance. Payment is required at the time of making the appointment.
ONGOING INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT PROGRAMS: Private weekly sessions for the specified subject are offered to support a student throughout the school year. To ensure placement, we encourage students to schedule early in the semester. Please view individual instructor's biographies to request appointment slots by clicking on Meet Our Staff.
Private Instruction: ($70 - $90 per 55 minute session) Individual subject support for the student who wants to optimize her/his education experience. Subjects offered: English, History, Science, French, Spanish and Math.
Shared Reserved Lesson: (55 minute session: 2 students, $45 per student; 3 students, $30 per student ) Two or three students who have the same class and teacher can share the cost of a weekly lesson. Students are responsible for providing their class syllabus and other pertinent materials for onging sessions. Arrangements must be made in advance with our office manager.
Weekly group sessions for specific math and science subjects are designed to support a Cherry Creek High School student throughout the year. Our group rates are $45 per 1.5 hour class. Discounted package rates are available and outlined on our registration forms. You can view our group schedules and access online registration forms by clicking on the specific program of interest below.
SaccoMath Club: A program that meets regularly to take each basic quiz/test cycle and outlines problems in a logical narrative process. Students gain mastery of the standard types of problems for the section. These sessions are offered for accelerated and honors math classes.
SaccoScience Club: A weekly group session that offers support throughout the school year for AP Biology, Biology Honors and Chemistry Honors. Power Point presentations, practice tests, working keys and a smaller teacher-to-student ratio are significant components of the program.
ACT Test Prep Sessions: Our program allows students to schedule only those sessions needed based on previous test results or a diagnostic test. We offer several sessions throughout the year to accommodate students' busy schedules.
We post a monthly, concise set of tips for students and parents to use as a reference for:
Time management: Prioritizing schoolwork, athletics, the arts and activities, clubs, and personal time.
How to build confidence and take responsibility for one's own education.
Pacing the academic school year: Preparing effectively for what lies ahead.
Gaining fluency with the fundamentals indigenous to each class in a student's schedule.
Moving from familiarity to understanding. Knowing your strengths, interests, passions and finding your element.
Developing positive relationships within the school community.

Expert Pointers On Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Issue Number:
If hygiene or maceration is an issue, Dr. Travis always increases the frequency of dressing changes with negative pressure therapy. When wound edges are showing evidence of maceration in between dressing changes, Dr. Travis has used two primary techniques to reverse the problem. After thoroughly drying the surrounding, previously macerated tissue, he either applies stoma paste to protect the tissue before reapplying the VAC drape or applies skin prep and then "window pane" thin hydrocolloid (Duoderm), cut into strips, to the area around the wound. "Both have yielded excellent results in both outpatient and hospital settings," notes Dr. Travis. Dr. Bell is a board certified wound specialist of the American Academy of Wound Management, and a Fellow of the College of Certified Wound Specialists and the American Professional Wound Care Association. Dr. Bell is also the founder and Course Director of the Southeastern Interactive Wound Summit (SIWS), a multidisciplinary annual conference on advanced wound healing. Dr. Frykberg is the Chief of Podiatry at the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center in Phoenix. Dr. Rogers is the Director of the Amputation Prevention Center at Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa. He completed a fellowship in diabetic limb preservation and research at the Scholl's Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research (CLEAR) in Chicago. He has been an investigator for clinical trials involving VAC therapy. Dr. Travis practices at Beach Podiatry in California. He is on the teaching staff at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and is involved in the Wound Care Program at La Palma Intercommunity Hospital. Dr. Karlock (shown at the left) is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, and practices in Austintown, Ohio. He is the Clinical Instructor of the Western Reserve Podiatric Residency Program in Youngstown, Ohio. Dr. Karlock is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for WOUNDS, a Compendium of Clinical Research and Practice.

Shola - Euro Nights Bring Back Memories Of Sir Bobby!
Only Alan Shearer has scored more goals against continental opposition than Shola Ameobi, and he hopes to start against Club Brugge in Belgium tomorrow night.
Ameobi – who has made 44 appearances in European competition – has 13 goals to his name. Shearer is ahead by some distance – United's all-time record scorer netted 30 times in UEFA competitions – and it's unlikely that Ameobi will ever equal, or surpass, that figure.
Shola Ameobi: "I'm proud of the record.
"To be mentioned in the same breath as Alan Shearer is a great honour, but I'm a long way off his record.
"I just need to keep plugging away.
"Hopefully, this won't be this team's only stint at Europe.
"I hope it can be a regular occurrence, with the squad the manager's trying to build here.
If that's the case, I hope I can get somewhere near it.
"I love these nights – it takes me back to the Champions League and the UEFA Cup during Sir Bobby's time here.
"It's great to have these nights, because the fans love them. They create a great atmosphere – there aren't many better nights.
"I like to think I can play with anybody, so it doesn't bother me who I play with.
"You know that Papiss and Demba will get on the end of things, and they're easy to play with. I like to get them on the end of things, and hopefully I can help the team.
"The lads who aren't in that starting XI (in the Premier League) want to show the manager what they are about when it comes to Europe.
"The guys who have filled in haven't let anybody down."

You Might Have a Shot with Kate Hudson
By Kristin
There is a considerable difference between being rigid and having some standards. If you have a list of things that you absolutely must have and they are not particularly reasonable (he must be rich, she must be a supermodel), you are setting yourself up for failure. This is when you might relax your standards just a bit. However, having absolutely nothing in mind when there are things that you know would make you happy (she must like my sense of humor, he should be kind and generous) is a total waste of time. Be open-minded but don't let your brains fall out of your head.
We have a saying in the South: "Be particular." Kate, heed that warning. Whether you are just getting back out there and dating after a divorce or you're out there all the time, having a list of likes and dislikes in mind when dating is very important. If you keep those in mind when you're out there, you might actually get what you want, which is really the point of the whole exercise anyway.

Tunisians opened their homes and hearts to people fleeing Libya
(Read article summary)The outpouring of generosity came spontaneously – people simply responded with compassion, a new report says.
Anis Mili/Reuters/File
Tunisia had barely drawn breath following its revolution early last year when tens of thousands of people started arriving on its borders as an uprising in neighboring Libya gained momentum.
The amazing generosity of Tunisians who opened their homes and hearts to people fleeing Libya is revealed in the latest issue of Forced Migration Review (FMR), which looks at last year's Arab Spring revolutions in North Africa.
"The response from ordinary Tunisians was remarkable in its altruism," Antonio Guterres, the head of the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), says in an introduction to the FMR report published on the eve of World Refugee Day.
IN PICTURES: Libya: Daily life after Qaddafi
"I witnessed villagers sharing their homes and land while others drove for miles to provide sandwiches for those stuck in the crowds at the border."
The first people to arrive in southeast Tunisia were migrant workers who had been employed in Libya's huge oil industry, agriculture, and elsewhere.
Tunisian villagers organized cooking crews and took food to Djerba airport as the migrants waited for flights home, writes Katherine Hoffman, associate professor of anthropology at Northwestern University in the United States.

Aside from the obvious feelings of disgust watching this, I find myself wondering what use carrying would have been in most of these situations.
The teacher could have walked the other way or made a point of creating distance, but they'd probably be in his face for being "racist" then too. I guess that's preferable, at least he'd be able to draw.
The lady later in the video had no chance.

All Shook Up
Book by Joe DiPietro
Inspired by and featuring the music of Elvis Presley
June 5 – June 27, 2015
June 5 – June 27, 2015
Jun 5-6, 11-13, 18-20, 25-27 at 8 pm; Jun 7, 14, & 21 at 3 pm
The story is new, but the music is all Elvis! Joe DiPietro has crafted a funny and heart-warming story around the music of Elvis Presley, much the same way Mamma Mia! features the music of ABBA.
It's 1955, and into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing, motorcycle-riding roustabout who changes everything and everyone he meets. You'll jump out of your blue suede shoes as the 25 member cast sings Don't Be Cruel, Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, Can't Help Falling In Love, and many more.
(ALL SHOOK UP is not an Elvis tribute show (a la Scot Bruce). It is a wonderful story of a changing America featuring music that changed us all, as well.)

Sonora Cat Rescue will hold their fun packed Spangly to Sophisticated Holiday Fashion Show featuring gorgeous clothes from Joan's Boutique, Sharon Malone, Columbia Kate's and the Banyan Tree. There will be models of all ages and sizes highlighting some of the most amazing outfits available from our local shops.
A delicious lunch will be served featuring our countywide famous desserts. Enjoy early gift shopping at our silent and live auctions and receive a card "Presents with a Purpose" so the recipient knows that their gift also saved lives . In addition to lively music and raffles and door prizes there may be a surprise visit from a special friend.
Please come "Party with a Purpose" and enjoy the holidays before the holidays. Tickets $25 available at Mountain Book Shop, Joan's Boutique, Sharon Malone, Columbia Kate's Boutique, Banyan Tree or buy online here!
The central mission of Sonora Cat Rescue is to stabilize and eventually reduce the abandoned cat population of Sonora and Tuolumne County.
The trap/neuter/release program has proven to be the most effective means of achieving this goal. TNR, the non-lethal method of population control, is more effective than trap and kill programs and reflects a more caring society. Our work supports the efforts of groups such as the Humane Society and Animal Control, by helping to reduce the number of animals euthanized in shelters each year . Learn more about us.

Everything! Accommodations, comfort, room was a mite stuffy at nite, couldn't open the windows very much. Comped us videos for our entire stay free for my Birthday! Gave us microwave popcorn, and candy for our movies. Needed plates and silverware for cake, we were told to go to Salvatores, and ask to borrow them! Even had cards and board games for us! Staff was excellent!! Anything we wanted was given with a smile!
The Suite was very Spacious and inviting. We loved the gas fireplace heat. Having some essentials in the room like dishes and silverware was also a plus. We chose to sleep on the futon instead of the bed because of the TV location.
There were some areas that had cobweb build-up. I noticed it in the bathroom around the recessed lights and in some of the vent covers. Not having staff on sight was also an issue as one of our neighbors decided to have a loud party.
Ease of checking in. No problems or questions.
Yes, the remote control for the TV did not work. Get it fixed!!!! Better yet, just buy a larger TV and it will come with a remote! Would be nice to have a TV in the bed room, but we figured out something else to do!
Had view of Haystack Rock.
Wife and I had an amazing time. Very close to the beach and within walking distance from town.
I loved the fireplace in the room and out kitchenette. The view is amazing, especially from the hot tub! The location of the hotel is wonderful!
Clean and well stocked kitchen. Porch over looked and opened onto the beach
A really fantastic room, in a quiet setting.
The breakfast was nice but each morning the staff used a heavy duty mixer that really ruined our dining experience.
Clean, quite, location.
Had to walk a whole block to the beach...!
The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The staff were excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
I know it was not on the beach but thought we would have a good view of the ocean, not the parking lot in front of the beach! The ad say that we would have partial views but did not clarify that it overlooked a large parking lot.
Inexpensive. Clean. Great ocean access.
Old fixtures, but the price break is worth it.
I liked that my room was in the corner, right on the beach, services was good
The hotel for sure could use an update and a/c units . by my room being on the first floor there were was no screen for the sliding doors so bugs could get in if you decided to open the door to let the beach breeze in and also would loved some sheer curtain for privacy .
We did not like the fact that we didn't have a screen on our window or that we did not have AC. Having a fan would have been nice.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Netflix finally added full AirPlay support to their app in the latest iOS 7 update but in the process of doing so the company broke the feature which allowed an iOS device to be connected to the TV with the HDMI AV adapter.
The weekend is here and for us that means long, lazy hours on the couch/bed carefully monitoring the very latest in cyber-cinematic culture. And we're not sure exactly how much culture our pix picks are packing this week…but we like what we see! So if you're in a viewing mood, here are this week's winners.
Netflix announced that it will be providing a feature called Super HD to all compatible devices, including the Apple TV 3. The company initially rolled out Super HD in January to ISPs with a direct connection to Netflix, and now this has been expanded to give all subscribers the new quality option.
Are your leaves starting to change colors yet? Well, our Fall TV schedule has already made the change and along with that seasonal shift in our televised viewing habits we've compiled a brisk selection of fall flicks for your soon-to-be autumn enjoyment.
This week let's cut straight to the chase and jump right into the tasty tips and tarty treats for your weekend snuggle time.
We don't know about you all but we're feeling awfully dramatic these days. The kids are back in school, summer is officially over, fall is slowly approaching and this means, to us at least, that our trusty Apple TV is more important than ever as the nights get cooler and indoor fun seems more soothing. So here's this week's pix picks and some comfort food for your soul.

But there's more to Praa Sands, with historic Pengersick Castle, dating back to the 13th century, walks through the old estate of Pengersick to Rinsey village, through ancient woodland and past the old ponds. From Rinsey, a short walk takes you to Rinsey head, high above the sea and down to Wheal Prosper, a mine engine house used in tbe filming of tbe Poldark Series and set up high on the cliffs, with spectacular views.
The sub tropical gardens of Bonython, Trengwainton and Trebah are superb places to see unusual and rare plants which thrive in the warmer climate of West Cornwall

"Wonderful home from home"
We have just returned home from a week in Kerensa. It is a well loved lodge and every care is taken to make sure you feel like you are important to Pat the owner. Kerensa is beautifully fitted with all the luxuries you can imagine. we received a lovely welcome pack full of local produce and even a cream tea for four people. Praa sands is a very quiet peaceful site with a fitness center and golf course.We took our small dog with us. She was welcomed by Pat as much as we were. Pat meets you to show you how everything works and then is gone leaving you to enjoy your holiday.A wonderful holiday and highly recommended.Thank you Pat.

"Everything we needed.. and more! Luxury lodging at it's best."
My partner and I stayed at Kerensa for a week, it is a perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle. When we arrived we were very pleased with the lodge; it is very well kept outside and very clean inside, the interior is lovely and finished to a very high standard. We were extremely comfortable during our stay, the beds were brilliant, the shower was very powerful and the kitchen was well equipped. The lodge has everything you could possibly need for your break.
The owner was brilliant, very helpful and thoughtful. She had left leaflets for ideas for days out, restaurants and bus timetables.
The location was just amazing, in the evening you can hear the waves crashing. The large decking area has gorgeous views and the beach is only 5 minutes walk. We sat out on the decking enjoying a BBQ and a glass or 2 of wine one evening and on others we explored the restaurants in the area. There is a bar on the beach called Sandsbar where you can sit watching the waves come in from the full length windows. It was so relaxing. They also did good pub meals here. In Praa Sands there is a local shop and post office with all your necessities in which was perfect to pop out to for some milk, bread of a bottle of wine! It's only 2 minutes walk too.
We went on day trips to:
Porthleven, which is a charming little town with a lovely coffee & cake shop called Nauti but Ice.... We enjoyed some *delicious* cake and a hot drink whilst watching the waves crashing in the harbour. We also visited Marazion where we walked over to St Micheal's Mount and explored the grounds. You can eat over on the mount or back in Marazion there are some lovely restaurants or pubs. Another day we went to Gwithian beach (nr Hayle) which is truly stunning. It is a 3 mile long white sandy beach that you can walk the length of. The northern end of the beach is a hot spot for grey seals, big groups of them lay on the beach. That was really amazing and we got some great photographs.
St Ives is another place we visited. We went on a boat trip which was great fun and then headed to 'Peppers' restaurant for a meal. The food was lovely and the prices very reasonable compared to the restaurants with sea views. We also spent a day in the local town of Penzance and also a day in Helston. Both are local and easily accessible by bus. We caught the bus to Penzance for a change, they were very regular and stopped right outside the lodging site.
We are also National Trust members and they have some really beautiful sites in this area, St Levan mine in St Just was a brilliant day trip.
My partner and I will most definitely be returning. We would recomend to anyone looking for a UK break. Lovely accommodation, relaxing location and you will not run out of things to do as there is so much to explore as this is such a beautiful area of the UK
Thank you for your lovely comments. I love this area of Cornwall and my lodge and it makes me feel so good when others share this love. With so much to do and see, I feel sure I will be seeing you again very soon and look forward to welcoming you back

In today's Family Minute radio program, I talked the importance of our children doing some manual labor either inside or outside of the home. Here are 5 reasons your child should work.
1. We were all created to work and work is good.
2. Work is necessary for a productive life.
3. Work teaches self-discipline.
4. Work is not only healthy for the body, but also healthy for the mind.
5. When a child works, they learn to appreciate the work of others.
Since our children were created to work, how do we teach them to do so? Well, as you manage your home well, you'll want to have a chore chart and be sure to assign age-appropriate chores to your children. When my kids were growing up, we made a chore chart. I've got a free downloadable chore chart for you to use in your home. In the vertical column it had each of the chores listed including things like taking out the garbage, washing the dishes, yard work, making their bed, and cleaning their room. On the horizontal row, it had each of their names. As they completed a chore they checked it off and then we reviewed it with them at the end of the week and awarded them with an allowance.
By doing chores, our children not only learn the value of hard work and its rewards, but it also gives us opportunities to teach them important life lessons. I remember doing some weeding in our yard with my children when they were young. When I noticed them getting bored, I tossed out a question, "What would happen if we didn't weed?" "Well," said my oldest daughter, "all the good stuff would die." I went on to explain how that's true in our lives, and had them tell me some of the weeds we all need to watch for. They came up with things like calling people names, lying, and being mean to other children. We talked about how weeds choke out our joy and hurt our relationships. It's just like in the yard; if we don't get rid of the weeds, the weeds will get rid of the good stuff.
As your children do chores around the house, consider rewarding them with an allowance. Use this opportunity to show your children how to be good stewards of their money. Teach your children how to save, spend, and share wisely. In our home, as our children were growing up, each of our children had three mason jars for their allowance. They received 50 cents allowance for each year. So, a 10 year old would receive five dollars per week. Two dollars would be placed in the spend jar. Two dollars and fifty cents was deposited into the save jar and fifty cents in the share jar, to be given to church.
This short video shows how Bill Cosby had a fantastic way of teaching his children about money.
Do your children do chores around your house and do they get an allowance for doing so?

Authorities say that an apparent farm equipment accident caused the death of a 2-year-old boy early Friday morning in rural Hartland. Freeborn County Sheriff's Office officials says that crews from the Hartland Fire Department, New Richland Ambulance and Gold Cross Ambulance all responded to the scene of the accident, but no other details have been released, other than it happened on private property. The identity of the victim has yet to be released as well. The boy was transported to the Albert Lea Mayo Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

I have about 13 hours to think about it.
I've been offered a Marlin 336 for my Marlin 1894C in .44 Magnum.
The 336 I've been offered is outfitted with a good sling, a Burris 3-9x40 scope with mount, and has had a pretty good action job. It's pretty slick.
My 1894 is bone stock.
The only thing that sort of bugs me is that the 336 is missing its front iron sight for some reason beyond my comprehension. I'm wondering what kind of expense is involved in replacing it.
Edit: I've gotten to handle the 336 in question and seen it myself. It's in good shape, very minor wear. Also has the extension on the hammer to make it easier to manipulate the hammer with the scope on it.

My sister Sarah has a form of asperger's syndrome and a phenomenal show-stopping Broadway voice. She is Susan Boyle, before Boyle was discovered by youtube.
Now before I get sued for slander I should say that I have no knowledge if Boyle has high functioning aspergers or any other disorder, just that I see my sister in her and even more so in people's reactions to her. I have a hard time talking about my sister and her peculiarities. Sarah is also squarely built and frumpy. She is also oblivious to the social cues around her. When we were both in college briefly, she was a freshman as I was graduating, I took her to a party where she sat on the couch and ate a bag of chips; cheerfully and purposefully, without attempting to make conversation with anyone. I asked her if she was having a good time and she said yes, that it was a really nice party. As soon as that bag of chips was gone she asked to go home. When I watch the clip of Susan munching on her sandwich backstage, its that moment with Sarah that I see.
Like Susan my sister will probably live with our mother for the rest of her life. When my mother dies, she will move in with me and my family. She does not have the crazy high IQ of some asperger's folks, she has the less hip asperger's fate of having a below average IQ. (She's actually just 10 points to high to automatically qualify for SSI benefits.) She will probably never have a boyfriend and she will probably never be kissed. Honestly, she doesn't seem that interested in it, and has put effort into avoiding the few boys that have liked her.
What Sarah loves is music. She can't read sheet music, but she plays piano and flute, though neither with much grace or ability. She listens to her ipod for hours and hours during the day and can give you a complete musicological genealogy of show tune history and most country music styles. (She can also name all the presidents and the dates of their term in office, in order.)
She can also sing. Boy, oh, boy can she sing.
When Susan Boyle walked onto that stage people did not really expect her to be able to sing. Though few would be able to explain why they didn't expect her to be able to sing. They just say she looked frumpy. What they mean is that she didn't quite match the social cues around her. Normal people (and I use the term "normal" loosely) typically try to adapt their dress and behavior to fit the social setting and "be like everyone else." Susan Boyle didn't, and she didn't seem to have any qualms or embarrassment at not "fitting in." She didn't seem to notice. From her church choir dress, to missing Simon Cowell's attempt to invite her into a joke about the size of her village, to her own strangely timed joke about her age/size, to finally marching directly off stage at the end of her song despite the standing ovation, Susan was not quite in sync with the rest of the Britain's Got Talent production. Generally people who can't do the mental math of perceiving how they are viewed from the outside in these shallow ways are also not good at assessing their own skill, at say singing, in an objective manner. They are the people who tend to get humored.
Sarah doesn't know how to respond to people clapping for her either.
My sister sings with a special choir for disabled people now. She is their superstar. It is not uncommon after performances for people to tell me or my mother that she has "real talent" and that we should encourage her to audition for professional shows or more competitive choirs around town. I always thank them. I never tell them that in the five years it took Sarah to finish high school she was never given a spot on the schools award winning show choir, even though the director told us she certainly had the voice for it. The list of reasons were as follows: she wasn't coordinated enough, even simple dance moves leave Sarah totally baffled; she couldn't do the acting, Sarah will make eye contact, but she gets nervous and unreasonable giggly about it; she had lots of trouble memorizing, an odd but true problem considering all the other facts she had stuck in her head; and finally, no matter what any of us did with her hair, make-up, or clothes, she just looked frumpy. Sarah, despite her voice, her gorgeous voice, would never be Elaine Paige.
I truly hope that Boyle gets a recording contract. I hope she is not exploited. I hope she and her cat have a long happy life full of evenings singing kareoke at the pub. I hope, stupidly, that the public is kind to her. I have watched as strangers, years of strangers, have heard my sister sing and then declared with absolute certainty that she has "it". They praise her and then disappear. I hope for Boyle its different.
My son has Asperger's. I have blogged about him on OS and have a piece about him in the upcoming collection "A Cup of Comfort For Parents of Children With Special Needs."
Fortunately for my son, unlike your sister, he attended a small independent school that gave him the chance to play in the little orchestra and have major roles in the theater productions, even though he did not fit the usual profile.
How awful that the school couldn't find a way to make room for her in the choir. School choirs etc are supposed to be about discovering abilities and passions, about process, not product.
But I'm glad that you see your sister's abilities and appreciate her.
On sort of a related note--I was engaged in an important argument with a school official (relating to one of my kids), and it so happened that I'd had about 2 hours of sleep each night for the past 5 nights. I was the kind of tired that was dangerous. I noticed that the first thing to go was civility. I demonstrated eloquent content and impeccable logic in my responses to this bureaucrat's officiousness, but I spat them out without regard to how she would receive them. I wanted to wring her neck, and it's a wonder I didn't calmly do her bodily harm. My contempt was clear, though, and that's very unlike me. The point is, I had lost that veneer, the part that cares how others see us. It was interesting, in retrospect.
Not to have made this all about me, by the way (insert chagrin emoticon)--this post just got me to musing, is all. That's what the best writers do for ya!
Keep trying for your sister's SSI , there is no reason they should turn her down, my son gets SSI, Medicaid and Food Stamps and still attends the local community college. He was correctly diagnosed , finally, at age 22. I put him in Community College 10 years ago when he was 18, and he has been plugging away at courses ever since, and of course his electives are all Art & Fine Art related. Finally was evaluated again last year for Learning Disability in Math, so he can waive the Math Requirement with course substitutions. He is now 6 credit hours away from an Associate in Arts degree! He hopes to pursue Fine Arts degree in local university .
I believe Susan is more mature than her male counterparts, but I agree with you, I think she is undiagnosed and is high-functioning Asperger's . She is a jewel, I simply love her, and gotta tell ya, my son is lovable too :-)
I found this article when I googled 'Susan Boyle Autisum' as I wondered if anyone else thought the same! Maybe it's a good thing for her to be high profile for society to see that being different does not make you unworthy or untalented...infact quite the opposite!
Psychologists, physicians, educators, and parents remain largely uneducated and uninformed regarding high functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome, particularly in girls and women, and the person is often misdiagnosed (Fattig, 2007) or undiagnosed, such as Susan Boyle - she is 47 it was quite uncommon for a primary school child to be diagnosed with Autism, let alone Aspergers in that era, but I suspect her behaviour and social isolation would earmark her as an Aspie, almost immediately nowadays. I am surprised that some official psychologist has not come out before now and confirmed what any of us who work with people with Aspergers have suspected from the first moment we saw her stumble over trying to find the words "collection of villages" in her first performance. It is not unusual at all to be highly talented (HIGH FUNCTIONING) in one area such as music, singing or playing an instrument and be totally inadequate in the social graces. I love her just as she is and would not change a thing, she is what she is - unique and genuine - people should take her as she comes - realising that behaviours such as using four letter words, running around half naked in public etc., are typical aspie reactions to extreme stress! What so called "normal" person could handle the unprecedented overnight media "fame," that this beautiful woman has been subjected to? I would say unreservedly she could fit into the Aspergers category on the autism spectrum. INCIDENTALLY HER BEHAVIOUR WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME AFTER THE SHOW, WHETHER SHE HAD WON OR LOST - IT IS JUST A TYPICAL ASPIE REACTION TO ALL THAT THE STRESS. SUSAN IS NOT ALONE, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED AT JUST HOW MANY VERY FAMOUS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SUSPECTED ASPIES, THE LIST INCLUDES:
Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, Socrates, Virginia Woolf, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Goethe, Shakespeare, Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, Abraham, Lincoln, Louis IV, Catherine the Great, and Isaac Asimov just to mention a few!
I OFFER THIS INFORMATION AS EN EXPLANATION, NOT AN EXCUSE, FOR HER BEHAVIOUR and YES, I do think her behaviour should be accepted without penalty on the strong possibility of her having undiagnosed Aspergers Syndrome.
((Everything I say can be researched on the internet - just type in Famous people and Aspergers Syndrome))

Human!Rainbow Blitz x Skater!Reader
"Wow!That's awesome!"
"I can't believe she can do that!"
A crowd had gathered as you praticed some tricks on the half pipe.You were a really good skater,you could beat almost everybody who went to the skate park.
Well,almost everybody.
There was one guy at the park who was,according to the regulars there,impossible to beat at S.K.A.T.E.
He was known as Rainbow Blitz,because whenever he was on the half pipe,his rainbow colored hair would be whizzing past others as he performed tricks even Tony Hawk had'nt been able to do.Some said he was the best skater in the world,litteraly.You landed your trick smoothly,and the crowd cheered loudly.Just as quickly,a dead silence fell as a man with a spiked head of multi-colored hair and a piercing above his right eyebrow walked towards you.
It was Rainbow Blitz.
"Hey,Blitz.Come to get your butt kicked?",you said.You flipped up your board,and caught it in mid-air.
"Is that a challenge,(name)?Because I accept."He smirked,and you saw a light blush creep onto his cheeks.
Rainbow Blitz,blushing?
That's new.
"Meet me here on Saturday at noon,and we'll play some S.K.A.T.E.",you said as you walked out of the park.You heard Blitz run up to you.
"You wanna get something to eat before you head home?I'll pay for it if you want."
"Sure,Blitz.That way I have more time to think of how to kick your butt on Saturday afternoon.",you said,a smirk playing across your face.
"No way in hell are you gonna beat the awesome me,dude."He punched your shoulder playfully.
You walked to the skate park,as promised.When you got there,a large crowd had gathered around the half pipe.You quickly spotted Rainbow Blitz,which was easy to do,because of his multi-colored hair.
"You ready to get whooped,Blitz?"
"I believe it's the other way around,(name).What are the stakes?"
A dead silence hung over the crowd,awaiting your answer.
"If I win,you go on a date with me.",you said,strapping on your knee and elbow pads.
"But if I win,(name),you have to kiss me."The crowd gasped together,and excited murmurs could be heard.
"Let's do this.",you said,putting on your helmet.
~One S.K.A.T.E. game later...~
You stood,shocked,at Rainbow Blitz.He had beat you.The crowd cheered loudly as you hung your head in defeat.Then you felt a pair of arms turn your whole body around.
"Time for me to claim my prize..."You felt Rainbow Blitz's rough lips press against yours.You easily sank into the kiss,his finger twirling a strand of your (h/c) hair in a endless circle.You pulled away,a huge smile making it's way onto your face.
"Up for another round of S.K.A.T.E.,Blitz?"
"You're on,(name)."

DENVER (AP) - A spokesman for Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler is dismissing a call for an investigation of a complaint that Gessler misused state funds to return from the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
Andrew Cole tells the Denver Post the allegations by Ethics Watch are a partisan attack and are unfounded.
Colorado Ethics Watch said Monday it filed a complaint with the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission, asking the commission to investigate allegations that Gessler misappropriated public funds when he attended a Republican election law training event and the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
The group also wants a criminal investigation.
Gessler says death threats were made against his family in August, prompting his early return from the Republican convention.

Address the Constitution instability, Lifwekelo challenges President Sata
Time Posted: March 29, 2014 2:33 pm
The opposition United Party for National Development has called on republican President Michael Sata to urgently address the Constitution Instability that has characterized the Country since Independence.
UPND Deputy Spokesperson Edwin Lifwekelo observed that there are many unresolved questions of interest to the public that remain hanging which the current Executive needs to resolve concerning the constitution.
The UPND Assistant Spokesperson says the Nation deserves to be informed to avoid unhealthy speculations and rumors thereby noting that it is unfortunate that the Patriotic Front PF Government has departed and relaxed on its commitment to uphold the fundamental tenants of democracy, good governance and the rule of law.
He further stated that the current government promised the people of Zambia a number of things prior to the 2011 General Elections among them stabilizing the Constitution instability which he said has characterized the Country since Independence.
And Mr. Lifwekelo urged the Zambia Police Service to accord equal opportunities to the opposition and Civil Society Organizations to conduct their activities peacefully.
Mr. Lifwekelo says the unfair restrictions of people's liberties using the Public Order Act are a breeding dangerous discontent.
He further observed that the Public Order Act is both repressive and anachronistic in interpretation by the Police and must be repealed as Zambians get an impression that they were used like toilet issue by the PF Government.

Health insurers foresee rising premiums if court nixes 'individual mandate'
A US Supreme Court ruling against the individual mandate in the Obama health-care law would batter the insurance industry. It could also raise the price of insurance for millions of Americans.
Charles Dharapak/AP/File
When President Obama pushed for a sweeping overhaul of America's health insurance system in 2010, the health insurance industry went along with a central premise of the law: that it would agree to insure "all comers," regardless of their state of health, if a new mandate also coaxed younger and healthier Americans to buy insurance.
In principle, millions of Americans who could not otherwise afford insurance would be covered, while the influx of healthy purchasers of insurance would help pay the costs. Any day now, in a ruling by the US Supreme Court, this central bargain in Mr. Obama's Affordable Care Act could unravel.
It's not hard to see why the health insurance industry doesn't like that idea. The Supreme Court could rule that the "individual mandate" in the law is unconstitutional, thus removing a big expected stream of revenue, while leaving in place the law's guaranteed-access provisions, which impose big costs on insurers.
But outside experts say the negative consequences also would ripple beyond the insurance business to affect the pocketbooks of millions of Americans, who would face a rising price for their health insurance.
"We have the worst possible outcome" in this scenario, says J.D. Kleinke, a health-policy expert at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. Yet this outcome appears quite probable, he says, because the Supreme Court is tasked with considering questions of law and the Constitution, not what would be optimal for America's health-care system.

1) NO INJURIES 2) Patrick Cobbs win a spot on the 53 - if not, jets might take him off waivers 3) Matt Cassel play at least 3 quarters, Cory Bramlett 1, #12 zero 4) Junior Seau assimilating into the D, staying within the parameters of his responsibilities - i.e., no freelancing (fat chance) 5) Bam Childress looking halfway decent at WR 6) Continuity at OL - Kaczur seeing some action 7) No sign of Dillon, Maroney, Brady or Vrabel 8) Rodney playing a bit more comfortably aggressive 9) More Garrett Mills and Dave Thomas 10) Again, NO INJURIES Oh also - continued good play from Tully Banta-Cain and Eric Alexander. Pierre Woods and Jeremy Mincey showing up some would be good, too.
i hope caldwell plays alot. I want to see more from this guy. I want the ball to be thrown at him at least 10 to 15 times. Show me you can be a good 2/3 WR when/if Branch comes back.
On Total Access they were saying that BB suggested he may play some of the starters a significant amount tonight. Any truth to that?
I hope to just see some highlights :-\ edit: I would also like to see Hobbs and Asante totally put the lock down on Burress and Toommer, even if only for a series or two. Not that I am too concerned, but I think solid CB play from these two will be one of the keys to our success this year. I'd like to see some solid 2nd team play from Gay, Andrews, and Scott as well.
In all honesty.I hope not,I was expecting as this is the last preseason game that the starters wouldn't be playing much if at all.The only potential starter I want to hear about stepping on that field is Reche Caldwell.Though In Reis's pregame notes.he did indicate that the starters were dressed and warming up on field as tonights kick off is a bit earlier then normal...who knows...
As I stated in another thread, Brady previously stated that the starters have a better chance of playing this year as oppossed to the last two years because they don't play their first game of the season until Sunday instead of Thursday, so they have a longer timie to rest.
I want Billy B. to turnaround and look at Reche Caldwell and say, "Did they forget to tell you? You were cut this afternoon."
-see Sullivan kick some butt! -see Cobbs get over 100 yards -see 0 injuries -see Chad Jackson catch 1 pass (okay, now I'm dreaming) -see Branch on the sideline (really dreaming)
Tonite I'd like to see several Patriots cheerleaders have 'equipment malfunctions' in Hi-Def, but maybe that's just me.
I just checked NFL.com and it indicates Reche has no catches in the game so far, which means he's no doubt probably playing. Hear that bell bamming?
