Presented at the 16th HBIGDA Symposium, London, UK, August 18, 1999.
It is an honor to appear before you today. Four years ago, I was still living as a man, struggling to make my life conform to the Standards of Care, in order to obtain the physical feminization I so desperately desired. To stand before you as a colleague, addressing the organization that promulgates those Standards, is an occasion for intense reflection.
One of my research interests involves the personal narratives of male-to-female transsexuals who feel that traditional ideas about transsexuality do not accurately describe their experiences and motivations. On Friday, I will be presenting a detailed look at the stories of these supposedly "atypical" transsexuals. Today I will share only a few highlights from their narratives, as they pertain to some problematic aspects of the Standards of Care.
I should explain that I will be using the term "transsexual" in its most literal sense, to mean one who desires to approximate as closely as possible the anatomic characteristics of the opposite sex. Note that the word "gender" does not appear in my definition. This reflects my belief that transsexuality is fundamentally about changing one's anatomy or sex and that sometimes it may have little to do with gender identity or gender role.
My message today is that some biologic males who pursue sex reassignment do so, not primarily because they have a gender problem, but because they have a sex problem, and indeed a sexual problem. I will explain why I have come to believe that male-to-female transsexualism is sometimes the expression of a paraphilia -- an unusual or variant pattern of sexual arousal. I will share the comments of several male-to-female transsexuals who agree that their transsexualism can be accurately understood as representing a paraphilia.
I will explain why I think sex reassignment provides an elegant solution to the existential problems posed by paraphilic transsexualism -- why it makes sense pharmacologically and psychologically. Finally, I will challenge you to consider that if transsexualism is sometimes more a sexual problem than a gender problem, then sex reassignment therapy could be, and arguably should be, independent of gender presentation. Specifically, I will propose that the Real-Life Experience should merely be one optional element of transsexual therapy and that some transsexuals should be allowed to undergo hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery without a full-time Real-Life Experience.
As you may imagine, I've done a great deal of reading about transsexualism over the past 30 years. But among all the books and papers I've read, one article stands out as having most influenced my thinking about transsexualism. When I first read it in 1994, I experienced a kind of epiphany.
This article's initially unpromising title was "Clinical Observations and Systematic Studies of Autogynephilia." It was written by Ray Blanchard, a clinical psychologist at the Clarke Institute in Toronto.
Blanchard's term "autogynephilia" may be new to some of you. It is derived from Greek, and literally means "love of oneself as a woman." Blanchard formally defined autogynephilia as "the propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of oneself as a woman." His research with hundreds of transsexual subjects led him to conclude that males who seek sex reassignment often do so because they are sexually aroused by idea of being female, or becoming feminized. They seek sex reassignment as a way of accommodating their paraphilia -- which is, in effect, their sexual orientation.
Blanchard published nearly a dozen papers exploring the role of autogynephilia in the lives of biologic males seeking sex reassignment. In his "Clinical Observations" paper, he wrote the following:
"Autogynephilia takes a variety of forms. Some men are most aroused sexually by the idea of wearing women's clothes, and they are primarily interested in wearing women's clothes. Some men are most aroused sexually by the idea of having a woman's body, and they are most interested in acquiring a woman's body. Viewed in this light, the desire for sex reassignment surgery of the latter group appears as logical as the desire of heterosexual men to marry wives, the desire of homosexual men to establish permanent relationships with male partners, and perhaps the desire of other paraphilic men to bond with their paraphilic objects in ways no one has thought to observe."I think this is one of the most brilliant and insightful analyses in the entire clinical literature devoted to transsexuality. Certainly it spoke to my own experience like nothing I had ever encountered before. It was enlightening and empowering to discover that someone thought feelings of sexual arousal to the idea of having a woman's body were consistent with genuine transsexualism -- and that they provided a logical rationale for seeking sex reassignment.
As I discussed Blanchard's theory with colleagues, I discovered two surprising things. First, his theory was not widely known. Second, many of those who did know about it thought it was not so much wrong as heretical. The intensity of their reactions was astonishing. It was as though thinking about transsexualism as a sexual problem involved such a paradigm shift that it frightened people.
However, I also discovered that Blanchard was not the only clinician who conceived of transsexualism as sometimes representing a paraphilia, or an unusual erotic preference. Clinicians such as Buhrich and McConaghy; Wilson and Gosselin; Jon Meyer; Freund, Steiner, and Chan; Christie Brown; and Abel and Osborn had come to similar conclusions.
About a year ago, I wrote an article summarizing Blanchard's autogynephilia theory. I publishing this on the Internet, and in a magazine called Transgender Tapestry. In my article, I solicited narratives from any transsexuals who recognized autogynephilic feelings within themselves. I was curious to see whether transsexuals from a nonclinical population would report feelings and experiences consistent with Blanchard's ideas.
I have thus far received over 100 narratives. I will share only a few highlights from these today. I think these accounts provide a fascinating window into some little-discussed aspects of the transsexual journey.
Virtually all my transsexual respondents freely acknowledged that they were sexual aroused by their feminization. Virtually all thought that Blanchard's concept of autogynephilia accurately described them. Many admitted that autogynephilic sexual feelings had played a significant part in their decisions to seek sex reassignment. However, they were often unwilling to disclose this fact to their caregivers. Here are some representative comments:
"I am seven months post-operative. I was extremely autogynephilic, but thought I was the only person who felt this way, so I kept quiet about it. My fantasies were of my feminization, which still continue, despite not having testosterone."
"The definition of autogynephilia describes me perfectly. Feminizing my body has always been sexually exciting for me -- even after SRS. However, I never explained this to my therapist, fearing he would not support my planned SRS."
"The central themes of my erotic fantasies were my becoming female and having sex with women as a woman. I knew the psychiatric community would view me as a transvestite. So, I suppressed that information. I am six months post-op now, and still get sexually aroused when I think of the transformation that I just completed."
It may seem surprising that transsexuals are willing to admit that they have a paraphilia. I believe my respondents' candor reflects their relief at learning that they are not alone, and that there is a theory that speaks to their experience. They are gratified that someone has recognized the enormous risk they have taken, in order to integrate their sexuality with the rest of their lives. Their path is risky because at present, there is no medically approved script for seeking sex reassignment as a way of dealing with paraphilic eroticism.
But I think that there should be such a script -- such an acknowledged pathway. Sex reassignment is a logical and effective treatment for paraphilic transsexuality. It can help transsexuals simultaneously express and control their paraphilia, by creating desired feminization, and by moderating ego-dystonic paraphilic arousal. I believe we must begin to look at sex reassignment as a form of sex therapy for this sexual problem, in addition to its accepted role as a treatment for gender identity problems.
One of the most effective ways to treat any paraphilia is to lower testosterone levels. That is why we treat paraphilic sex offenders with antiandrogen medications. Lowering testosterone does not change the direction of paraphilic sexual desires, but it reduces their intensity. Transsexuals often report that their paraphilic sexual feelings can be oppressive, and ego-dystonic. Hormone therapy and genital surgery makes these sexual feelings less painfully intrusive. My respondents often welcomed the reduction in paraphilic arousal resulting from hormone therapy and SRS. Here are two representative comments:
"I asked [my doctor] whether she could give me anything to stop my strong sexual feelings. My compulsion to [cross]dress did not alter -- just my sex drive, which I hated anyway."What about the role of the Real Life Experience in autogynephilic transsexualism? While autogynephilic transsexuals all share a desire to feminize their bodies, I believe they run the gamut in terms of their desire to actually live full-time in female role. Some are obviously eager to live in role, particularly if they can pass reasonably well. Others may find that living in female role works "well enough" for them, even though it may not be their primary motive for transitioning. Still other transsexuals may have little or no desire to actually live full-time as women. Perhaps for some, living in role is not erotically interesting; but more commonly, it is because the practical difficulties simply seem too great. However, transsexuals sometimes acquiesce to living in role, simply to qualify for the hormones and genital surgery they so desperately desire. One of my respondents expressed this sense of resignation in an entry from her diary:
"My sexual urges have virtually disappeared since surgery. I hope I get horny again, but I am very happy not to be as driven as I once was."
"How sure am I that this is what I want? God knows. I've chickened out before, but I really want to be a woman with breasts and a vagina. I guess I'll have to accept everything else that goes with it. Is this the same as feeling like I am a woman trapped in a man's body? -- possibly not."To decide to transform one's body, and consequently to accept "everything else that goes with it," is an act of existential courage. It is an admission that the body and sexuality can sometimes be so important that they must be allowed to determine everything else. Individuals who undertake this path essentially rebuild their lives around their paraphilia. In this sense, they may be comparable to "life-style" practitioners of other paraphilias, such as BD/SM. Of course, we should remember that building one's life around one's sexuality is not exactly unknown among persons with more "normal" erotic preferences. Among heterosexuals, it's called "marriage."
Unfortunately, living as a woman is not always easy for biologic males. This is particularly true for those who are unable to pass well -- and especially for those unable to pass at all. These individuals may be desperate to feminize their bodies, but find the requirement of living full-time as women is simply too arduous. Some may need to preserve significant relationships. Some may fear for their personal safety. Some may need to keep their jobs. If we believe that transsexualism is simply about gender, and that genital surgery is simply "gender confirmation surgery," then individuals who cannot or will not live full-time in role are condemned to suffer -- they do not fit our paradigm. And suffer they do. Here is what one respondent wrote:
"I am 43 years old, and I consider myself a transsexual. I want to have a woman's body. For some periods of my life I have lived with less pressure about my transsexualism, but now it is getting very strong. I feel helpless. I have found a surgeon who will perform the surgery for me, and I would live as a man afterwards. I am considering this. I want to transition to live as a woman, but my family situation won't allow it. The pain I feel inside is unbearable sometimes. If I transitioned fully, my wife whom I love would leave me. I have prayed that God would change our bodies -- my wife says she wouldn't care."But -- if we accept that transsexuality sometimes represents a paraphilia, then other possibilities suggest themselves. If transsexual patients cannot undertake a full-time gender transition, is that any reason to deny them effective treatment for their sexual problem? I contend that it is not. Carefully selected individuals should be allowed to receive hormone therapy and genital surgery without a full-time Real-Life Experience. Our insistence on linking somatic treatments to a particular kind of full-time gender presentation reflects only tradition -- not science. There is in fact no experimental evidence that a full-time Real Life Experience is necessary or desirable prior to SRS. It is merely a tradition that has been enshrined as fact.
Insightful and compassionate therapists are already bending the rules, to help selected patients undergo hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery without a full-time Real-Life Experience. It is time the Standards of Care gave this humane treatment the legitimacy it deserves. Here is what one of my respondents wrote:
"To protect people from unwise decisions, I truly hope that there will always be a waiting period with intense therapy before SRS. But I hope the fact that someone does not choose to live as the opposite sex is not held against him or her. If I were 5'7", 135 lbs., and a size 12, things might have been different for me -- but I am not. I would never be accepted as female, regardless of what I did. Rational thought should prevail. People should not have to destroy their entire lives, families, friends, jobs and the like, to have what is between their legs changed to fit their self- image."I couldn't agree more - and I hope many of you will agree as well.
To summarize briefly: When offered anonymity, some male-to-female transsexuals will confirm what astute clinicians like Blanchard have known for years. They will freely admit that their desire to change sex is an outgrowth of their paraphilic sexuality. The lesson we can learn from autogynephiles is that transsexuality is often a sexual problem -- with or without an associated gender problem. Hormones and genital surgery are an effective treatment for autogynephilic transsexualism, because they allow paraphilic sexual desires to be simultaneously expressed and controlled. If we recognize that transsexualism is sometimes the expression of a paraphilia, we can reframe our therapeutic efforts, so that perhaps one day soon we can offer sex therapy with hormones and genital surgery to persons unable to undertake a full-time Real-Life Experience. This will help us end unnecessary suffering.
I'll close with a quotation from one of my respondents, which expresses my views succinctly:
"When we let go of the dogma of a 'core gender identity' that inevitably needs to be lived, and look at things like autogynephilia, we get a more differentiated picture of transsexuality -- one that offers many starting points for therapy, and alternative solutions."Thank you.

To My Dearest Blog Readers/
I have been away for a long time and for that I'm sorry. I have been on a journey. I have been trying to do this and to do that and to find a way in this chaos that's now called my job. I used to work about 10 jobs in a day and I have taken my time away to find a way to cut it down to one beautiful job.
I have found a way to make this what I do in something I love to do and for what I get paid for. I do my books, my blog and I host social gatherings. With those 3 things I will continue and I will not try to push myself into things I can not do on my own as it's just me. With the help of my husband and the help of my best friend.
I've been struggling on my blog, you all have been there to witness. I've lost, literately, hundreds and thousands of readers through all my uncertainty and change. But that's life eh, you win some, you loose some.
It all dawned to me when I read this quote;
So what's next?
Just this and anything else that might come up. I'm not going to promise anything or give you a scoop on something that is not there. I'm going to be here for you, blogging whenever I have something to share, tell or show. I'm going to stop trying to be Super Woman because I pretty much suck at that job. I do however make a mean curry.
I know that commenting and engaging on blogs is out but I would love to hear from you.
Thank you for always reading x

Rigorous Exercise May Boost Benefits of Weight-Loss Surgery
Bariatric patients can improve physical fitness with regular workouts, study finds
FRIDAY, July 15 (HealthDay News) -- After undergoing the weight-loss procedure known as bariatric surgery, following a rigorous exercise routine can help patients continue to lose weight and avoid regaining unwanted pounds, researchers say.
"We didn't know until now whether morbidly obese bariatric surgery patients could physically meet this goal," study senior author Dr. Abhimanyu Garg, chief of nutrition and metabolic diseases at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said in a university news release. "Our study shows that most bariatric surgery patients can perform large amounts of exercise and improve their physical fitness levels."
Bariatric surgery, which is typically reserved for people who are more than 100 pounds overweight, is commonly viewed as safe and effective. About 220,000 people had the procedure in 2009 alone, according to the American Society for Metabolic Surgery.
The study included 33 patients who underwent the procedure, and the researchers assigned 21 of them to a 12-week exercise program. Although all 33 participants consumed 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day, those in the exercise group worked out at least five days a week and burned 500 to 2,000 calories weekly, the report indicated.
"By the end of the 12 weeks, more than half the study participants were able to burn an additional 2,000 calories a week through exercise and 82 percent surpassed the 1,500-calorie mark," noted Garg. "We also found that while all participants lost an average of 10 pounds, those in the exercise group became more aerobically fit."
He added that "participants in the exercise group increased their daily step count from about 4,500 to nearly 10,000, so we know that they weren't reducing their physical activity levels at other times of the day."
The authors suggested that more research is needed to explore how exercise can be used to prevent weight regain.

The project, initiated by the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, takes place from September 2006 to May 2007. It is an interactive film presentation about the clash of fundamental rights and freedoms and about delimiting their boundaries.
In a democratic society, citizens are guaranteed a number of fundamental rights and freedoms, which include freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the right to privacy. The Free2choose Project poses the question of whether these rights and freedoms are unlimited – what happens if their observance threatens the foundation of democracy? And what happens when these rights conflict with one another?
The aim of the film clips and subsequent debates (in schools and public places) is to invite the viewers to think about the issues presented in each of the film clips. The project offers a possibility for everybody to think on their own about issues usually decided by lawyers or politicians in a country that applies the rule of law. Ten cases from the world and three from the Czech Republic were chosen as examples.
In the Czech Republic the Free2choose debates follow up the exhibitions Anne Frank – legacy for the present and Don't Lose Faith in Mankind…The Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia Through the Eyes of Jewish Children organised by the Jewish Museum in Prague.

The project was financially supported by the European Union (within the Programme of Supporting an active civil society). The author is solely responsible for the content of this publication; the European Commission bears no responsibility for further use of the information mentioned here.
Examples of issues used in the film clips:
Freedom of speech
Example: In their texts, Jamaican dancehall musicians attack homosexuals. Question/dilemma: Should we tolerate this manner of attacking and ridiculing homosexuals?
Freedom of religion
Example: The Sikhs working for the British police wear turbans while on duty. Question/dilemma: Can a policeman on duty wear religious symbols?
Freedom of the press
Example: Deniers of the Holocaust publish their opinions by way of publicly accessible Internet.
Question/dilemma: Should we tolerate the deniers of the Holocaust? (Should we tolerate free expressions of their opinions on the Internet?)
The right to demonstrate
Example: Neo-Nazi demonstrations in Berlin.
Question/dilemma: Should we tolerate the Neo-Nazis to demonstrate in front of the synagogues?
The right to privacy
Example: Bookshops and libraries in the U.S. refuse to cooperate in asserting the "Patriot Act" (that is, to keep evidence about sold or loaned titles).
Question/dilemma: Is the government entitled to know what books the citizens read?
Material at disposal:
• DVD with film clips in different languages, including Czech
• Czech version of the Free2choose brochure: Limits of Freedom
• F2C Educator Manual (electronic version) (English version)

Shortly after the City of Lawrence was incorporated in 1847, one of the first measures undertaken was the naming of a school committee that was entrusted with establishing a school system. Early in 1848, the Lawrence School Committee, after consulting with Horace Mann and other distinguished educators of that day, adopted a system of free public education for the primary grades through high school. With the adoption of this plan more than 160 years ago, the Lawrence Public School System was officially founded in 1848.
During the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century, the District built many quality school buildings with the latest amenities of the time to properly educate the growing immigrant population of this city. Today several of these fine school buildings have been updated and are still in use to serve the needs of an ever-growing student population.
The first grammar school in the city opened in 1848, in the original Henry K. Oliver School building. For a time, the building also served the seventeen students of Lawrence High School. Organized on January 31, 1849, the high school did not have its own building until a new Lawrence High School opened at the corner of Lawrence and Haverhill Streets in 1901. This high school building would serve the city's high school population for the next 106 years.
In 1892, a new era in school construction began in Lawrence with the erection of the John R. Rollins School on Prospect Hill. This school was soon followed by the building of the John K. Tarbox School and the Emily G. Wetherbee School. Over the next twenty years, the Alexander B. Bruce, Gilbert E. Hood, John J. Breen and Francis M. Leahy Schools, along with the addition of the James D. Horne Annex to Lawrence High School, were built to serve the children of the Lawrence Public Schools. All of these school houses, some of which are still in use today, were built with the most modern amenities of their time. Each has been renovated from time to time to keep pace with the education, technology and safety standards of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Today, 160 years after the Lawrence Public School System was established, the District has an enrollment of more than 13,000 students, many of whom are immigrants or the children of immigrants. The Lawrence Public School District comprises four early childhood centers, ten elementary schools, six middle schools and eight high schools. The school district has a comprehensive standards-based curriculum and hosts educational initiatives to help ensure success for all its students and create a college-going and readiness culture throughout the entire school system.
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, three new educational complexes have been built. These new facilities are: the Gerald A. Guilmette Educational Complex, the Edward F. Parthum Educational Complex and the Emily G. Wetherbee School. These three school complexes serve more than 3,000 students in total and have the latest educational and technological resources available for their students.
In addition, a $110 million, 42-acre high school campus — one of the most progressive and technologically advanced schools in the country — opened in the fall of 2007. The Lawrence High School Campus is the premier twenty-first century prototype for the conversion of large urban high schools into small, stand-alone thematic schools. The thematic high schools that comprise the campus are: The Business, Management and Finance High School, the Health and Human Services High School, the Humanities and Leadership Development High School, the International High School, the Mathematics, Science and Technology High School and the Performing and Fine Arts High School. The LHS Campus athletic facilities, which are among the largest and most modern in the state, have a 3,400-seat field house — the largest in New England — which is adjacent to the newly renovated Lawrence Veterans' Memorial Stadium. The Lawrence High School also holds a media center and a Performing and Fine Art Center that seats more than 1,200 people. The Performing and Fine Arts Center has been featured in national publications for its advanced technology and architectural designs.
Today the Lawrence Public Schools' highly qualified, professional educators draw from numerous resources to plan and implement lessons tied to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Teachers use a range of formative and summative assessments that assist in providing vital data to drive instruction. This data, along with teaching best-practices, assists teachers in making sound educational decisions for each student, facilitates differentiated instruction to meet each student's learning needs, and prepares students to successfully meet and overcome the challenges that lie ahead. In the Lawrence Public Schools, education is truly the key to the future for the students of the twenty-first century.

Half-Jewish himself, he became a major supporter of Alfred Dreyfus in the affair that made French anti-Semitism into a national issue. Deeply affected by his mother's death in 1905, he withdrew further from society. An incident of involuntary revival of childhood memory in 1909 led him to retire almost totally into an eccentric seclusion in his cork-lined bedroom to write À la recherche du temps perdu (in English: In Search of Lost Time or Remembrance of Things Past ). Published between 1913 and 1927, the vast seven-part novel is at once a kind of autobiography, a vast social panorama of France in the years just before and during World War I, and an immense meditation on love and jealousy and on art and its relation to reality. One of the supreme achievements in fiction of all time, it brought him worldwide fame and affected the entire climate of the 20th-century novel. Biography from Encyclopedia Britannica

Garden nightmare: UNH can't catch Lowell in Hockey East final
Sunday, March 23, 2014
BOSTON — It was a worst-case scenario.
"It's a little disappointing," said senior captain Eric Knodel. "It's a tough loss."
Falling behind 2-0 in the first period is not the desired recipe for success against the opportunistic River Hawks, who seemed to take advantage of every Wildcat mistake.
"We got some shots and traffic in front of their goalie," Knodel said. "He was good at deflecting pucks into the corners and keeping us from getting second chances."
UMass-Lowell struck twice 3:16 apart to go up by two. Both goals came on rebounds by A.J. White and Josh Holmstrom.
White's tally at 12:12 of the first looked like a relatively harmless play when Joseph Pendenza put a weak shot on net from the right side. Goalie Casey DeSmith failed to cover up and White pounced on the loose puck for the game's first goal.
"It's always key to get the first goal," Knodel said. "That's something we talked about, getting the first goal because we knew how good defensively they were."
The Wildcats were playing a solid game to that point, but the momentum quickly shifted.
Tyler Kelleher joined the rush, and Speelman elected to pass the puck to the freshman forward, whose shot was deflected wide of Hellebuyck.
UMass-Lowell, 4-0

You can download wotlk directly from the site :)
Cool Pics WOWInsider...hope the realms come up soon.
ewwww i HATE sharks and there are sewer sharks in dalaran... OMG i am gonna die there so many times
Hey, Kor again just checking the Wow website isn't coming up I think its down again. Hmm, the plot thickens.
It was up about 5 minutes ago. And as I was viewing it, it went back down...
Thanks for the pics. If WoW makes it back on line by the time WoTlk comes out I will be able to explore a bit myself:-)
Good to see Rhonin and vereesa are alive and well. I hope they play a big part in the story.
Why does our magely leader not wear a robe like his subordinates? Lots of mages in those pictures, actually, wear no robes. Are they mocking us, or is it a sign of (good) things to come?
ok so a week or two ago pictures on both wowinsider and joystiq stopped showing up on both blogs. while the articles remain the same i see no evidence of pictures anywhere. even when i go to the gallery no pictures show up and i cant look at anything. my only guess is that with some recent update some kind of mac compatibility isn't quite working correctly. any suggestions? i really am starting to miss the pictures.
Oh, man -- I love all the 80's-referenced, inside joke names Blizz gave to the NPCs in Dalaran. Like Natalie Tootieblair (from the 80's show 'The Facts of Life') and Segacedi the Sewer Shark (as in one of the only noteworthy games made for the old Sega CD console). Classic, Blizz -- but the devs are kinda showing their age, aren't they?
So, errm, offtopic here, but when I try to download WOTLK off of blizzards site, when it starts the download with the blizz art n such, it says I have no internet. Now, I obviously do, but it doesn't know that I guess. I turned off my anti virus and still it doesn't work. Anyone know what to do?

Support Package Installer uses the host computer to write the firmware image to a microSD or SD memory card.
You transfer the microSD or SD memory card to the PandaBoard hardware.
Support Package Installer applies the IP settings you choose to the firmware on the PandaBoard hardware.
Support Package Installer does not use the PandaBoard hardware to write the firmware image to the memory card.
To replace the firmware on your PandaBoard hardware:
Open the Update firmware screen in Support Package Installer using one of the following methods:
Click Continue in the Install/update complete screen of Support Package Installer.
In a model, select Tools > Run on Target Hardware > Update firmware.
In a MATLAB® Command Window, enter targetupdater.
Choose the PandaBoard option and click Next.
Make the connections shown and click Next.
Choose to get the firmware image from the Internet or from a folder.
Note: The file size of the firmware image is approximately 1 GB. Depending on your connection, downloading the firmware can take from 2 to 60 minutes, or more.
Internet: This option is selected by default. When you click Download, Support Package Installer checks the Download folder for a valid firmware image:
If a firmware image is not present, Support Package Installer downloads a firmware image from the Internet, and saves it to the download folder.
If a firmware image is present, Support Package Installer uses the firmware image already present in the download folder, and does not download a new firmware image from the Internet.
Folder: When you click Download, Support Package Installer checks the Download folder for a valid firmware image:
If a firmware image is not present, Support Package Installer displays an error message that the image file is missing. To solve this issue, copy the firmware image from another location to the download folder, or choose the Internet option instead.
If a firmware image is present, Support Package Installer continues the firmware installation process.
You must have write privileges for the download folder. If you use the default download folder, having write privileges is typically not an issue. If you change to a new download folder for which you do not have write permissions, such as a shared folder on a network, Support Package Installer generates an error message: "Error: Download the firmware. The download folder is not writable. Choose a folder for which you have write permissions".
To solve this issue, copy the firmware image to a folder for which you have write privileges. For example, copy the firmware image from the shared folder on the network to the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp folder. Then, update the Download location to the same folder, and click Download again.
To locate the firmware image in a folder, search for a filename that begins with pandaboard and ends with .img or .7z . For example: pandaboard_ubuntu_11_10_3_1_1_04_14_2012.img
Insert the microSD or SD memory card into a media card reader connected to your host computer. Windows® assigns a drive letter to the memory card.
Support Package Installer does not automatically detect the drive letter of the memory card. It displays a drive letter for each device with removable storage.
If only one drive letter is available, click Next.
If no drive letters are available, check that the memory card is fully inserted, and click Refresh.
If multiple drive letters are available, open the Windows Start menu, choose Computer, and look for the memory card under Devices with Removable Storage.
Click Write. Support Package Installer overwrites all previous data on the memory card with the firmware. This process takes several minutes to complete.
Get the COM port of the serial connection in Windows. From the Windows Start menu, choose search programs and files for "Device Manager". Open Device Manager, expand Ports (COM & LPT), and identify the COM port of the serial connection to the PandaBoard hardware.
For example, the following image shows a DB9 serial port called "Communications Port" using COM1, and a USB-to-serial adapter called "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port" using COM6.
Support Package Installer does not automatically choose the COM port of the serial connection. After you get the COM port of the serial connection from Windows Device Manager, return to Support Package Installer. Set Serial port to the COM port, and click Next.
Press and release the RESET button. Then, insert the memory card into the PandaBoard hardware.
Click Next. When Support Package Installer detects a reset, it displays progress booting the board.
If Support Package Installer does not display any progress, click < Back. On the Select serial port screen. Verify that you selected the correct COM port, and close any other applications, such as PuTTY, that might using the serial connection.
Review the automatically generated value of Board name.
If your board is connected to a network with DHCP services, such as a Local Area Network (LAN) or a home network connected to the Internet, select Automatically get IP address, give the board a unique name, and click Configure. DHCP is a network service that automatically configures the IP settings of Ethernet devices connected to a network.
If your board has a direct connection to the host computer, or is connected to an isolated network hub, select Manually enter IP address, give the board a unique name, enter static IP settings for the board, and click Configure.
Tip Guidelines for entering static IP settings are:
Start by entering ipconfig at the command line of your host computer. This command displays network settings of the Ethernet adapters on the host computer. Look for the settings of the Ethernet adapter that is connected to the target hardware.
Suppose that the Ethernet adapter connected to the target hardware has the following values:
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
In that case, for the target hardware:
When you click Configure, Support Package Installer opens a serial connection and applies the settings to the board.
Make a note of the values for IP address, User name, and Password for use later on. Then, click Next.
Click Finish. If Show support package examples is enabled, Support Package Installer opens the example page for PandaBoard hardware.

Queen Rania of Jordan in a Video says the Koran does not Subjugate Women,she has Apparently Never Read It
Fareed Zakaria is a Muslim intellectual from India who had an interview with Queen Rania of Jordan.There she made 2 affirmations about Islam and women that any impartial analysis shows are false.
Who is Queen Rania?
She is a Palestinian and does not wear the veil.Rania Al-Yassin was born in 1970 and is the wife of King Abdullah II of Jordan.She was born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents.She married in 1993 and has 4 children,2 sons and 2 daughters.She has a youtube channel with many videos about Islam and other subjects which has turned out to be very popular.
In Jordan,a country named after the Jordan river,where Jesus was baptized,60% of the population is Palestinian and they have Jordanian citizenship,they are not refugees and should not be counted as such.
Who is Fareed Zakaria?
Fareed Zakaria (born 1964) is an Indian-American journalist and author.Since 2000 he has been a columnist for Newsweek and editor of Newsweek International, till moving to Editor-At-Large of Time in 2010. He is also the host of CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS.
Zakaria was born in Mumbai (then Bombay),to a Muslim family.He earned a PhD degree in political science from Harvard University in 1993.
His Books
1.From Wealth to Power: The Unusual Origins of America's World Role(1998)
2.The Future of Freedom:Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad(2003)
3.The Post-American World(2008).
He was initially for the 2003 Irak war and later greatly criticized the way Bush was handling the situation.
I had written an article about how he is not a good expert on Islam:
Queen Rania has never read the Koran,apparently
Affirmation no 1 of Rania
Around second 43 of the interview Zakaria says to her that people say "Islam has placed women in a subordinate and subjugated role.How do you react to that charge?"
Rania:"I,personally,think that Islam in and of itself does not subjugate women and does not hold them back."
Affirmation no 2 of Rania
Around minute 1:35 she says:"It is not necessarily that you have to look at Islam itself.Holy Scripture does not hold women back."
In the Koran a Muslim woman(and a Muslim man) can be the slave of another Muslim
The citations in this article about women in the Koran are not exhaustive,there are even more.Here a 2 examples that say a Muslim woman can be the slave of a Muslim man.
Example 1:
Chapter 2:221:
"Do not marry idolatresses, until they believe(Note:become Muslim); a believing slavegirl is better than an idolatress, though you may admire her.
And do not marry idolaters, until they believe. A believing slave is better than an idolater, though you may admire him."
Example 2:
Chapter 4:25:
"Anyone of you who has not the affluence to be able to marry believing freewomen in wedlock,let him take believing maids that your right hand owns(Note:Muslim female slaves)."
Question to Rania
How can approving of having a Muslim woman or any woman as a slave not be subjugation and retrograde?
Verses that a Married Muslim can have Sex with a Slave Woman to who he is Not Married (2 of 4 Examples)
Does Rania not know of all this after years of living in Islam?
Example 1:
It begins by Muhammad as a Example.Notice that a in other cultures a married man sleeping with a woman to who he is not married (whether she is his slave or not) would be commiting adultery.
What is adultery?The Different Definition of Adultery in the West and in the Koran
For us and in the Koran it is for a married man to sleep with a woman with who he is not married.
But if the woman is the slave of the Muslim man,then,for the Koran,it is not adultery.For us it is still adultery.
Chapter 33:50-55:
"O Prophet, We have made lawful for you(note:for sex):
1.Your wives who you have given their wages
2.And what your right hand owns (Note:slaves), spoils of war that God has given you,
3.And the daughters of your uncles paternal and aunts paternal, your uncles maternal and aunts maternal, who have emigrated with thee, and any woman believer, if she give herself to the Prophet and if the Prophet desire to take her in marriage, for you exclusively, apart from the believers.
4.We know what We have imposed upon them touching their wives and what their right hands own (note:slaves)that there may be no fault in you; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate………………………..Thereafter women are not lawful to you(Note:for sex), neither for you to take other wives in exchange for them, though their beauty please you, except what your right hand owns (Note:slaves); God is watchful over everything."
Notice that 2 times there is a distinction of the women into 2 different groups:
a.The wives of Muhammad
b.And his female slaves,which he had got through war.
So Muhammad could sleep with a woman who was not his wife,it was not adultery,if she was his slave.
Again there is the Distinction between the Wife of Muhammad and his Slaves
"O believers, enter not the houses of the Prophet, except leave is given you for a meal, without watching for its hour. But when you are invited, then enter; and when you have had the meal, disperse, neither lingering for idle talk; that is hurtful to the Prophet, and he is ashamed before you; but God is not ashamed before the truth. And when you ask his wives for any object, ask them from behind a curtain; that is cleaner for your hearts and theirs. It is not for you to hurt God's Messenger, neither to marry his wives after him, ever; surely that would be, in God's sight, a monstrous thing.Whether you reveal anything, or whether you conceal it, surely God has knowledge of everything.
There is no fault in the Prophet's wives touching their fathers, their sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, and what their right hands own. And fear you God; surely God is witness of everything."
Example 2:
Chapter 23:1-7:
"Prosperous are the believers who in their prayers are humble and from idle talk turn away and at almsgiving are active and guard their private parts(Note:for sex) save from their wives and what their right hands own (Note:slaves) then they are not guilty."
To verify the Koranic citations go to quranbrowser.com, which has:
1.Six translations by Muslims.
2.Four translations by Non-Muslims.
3.The text in Arabic,with Latin letters.

The Taliban Song LyricsArtist: Toby Keith
Album: Shock'n Y'all
I got a, 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real cool and they got out of hand when they moved in
They call themselves the Taliban
(ooooo yeah the taliban) (taliban baby)
Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me, nah she can't stand
The Taliban (ooo taliban baby)
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban
(oh yeah the taliban) (baby)
Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would, stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said "Now, you
knuckle-heads you better not be doin any business with the taliban"
(Taliban baby)
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
And then those big U.S. jets came flyin one night
They dropped little bombs all over our holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran
(the taliban)
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do real fine down around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair audo and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban
(oh yeah, taliban)
we'll bid a fair adieu and flip a finger to The Taliban (baby)"

King's 1963 dream still deferred
By John Telford
In 2003, nearly half a century after the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education had decreed "separate but equal" schools are inherently unequal, I was the only retired school superintendent in America who had ever returned to teach in an inner-city high school. The school was Detroit Public Schools' Finney High (now East English Village under the state-created Educational Achievement Authority), which didn't and doesn't have a single white student. Thirty-six years earlier (Oct. 18, 1967), as a 31-year-old administrator at Detroit's Butzel Junior High and a doctoral candidate at Wayne State, I had written a longer version of this column that ran in the University's newspaper, The South End. While the terminology is dated — e.g., "Negro" — much of its premise remains valid:
"If there were a federal law punishing real estate agents who 'steer' Negro clients to predominately Negro neighborhoods, busing for integration would become unnecessary. Lacking that law, busing will remain necessary indefinitely — even though it can be but an artificial substitute for the uncontrived integration open housing would ensure. Although Negro childrens' intellectual capacities are on a proven par with white children's, most Negro children in segregated schools read at a level below the national norm.
"Inexperienced or untrained teachers, crowded classrooms and low-achieving classmates from the same deprived backgrounds perpetuate a generational cycle of illiteracy. Equal education demands integrated education. If our great cities are to be saved from degenerating into totalitarian camps with soldiers patrolling the streets as they did here in Detroit after last summer's rebellion, we must have a federal open housing law with teeth. Opening the suburbs to everyone will eventually establish a residential racial balance at all economic levels.
"In the meantime, a policy must be established whereby a substantial percentage of inner-city students and suburban students will be bused to the schools in each others' neighborhoods. Suburban children are as culturally deprived as are their contemporaries on 12th Street. As Martin Luther King, Jr. observes, the suburban setting promotes an unrealistic concept of what constitutes the human experience on our majority non-white planet. Suburbanites must become willing to accept students bused from the 12th Streets of our central cities to their schools and send their children into schools in urban neighborhoods.
"Even more significantly, a national open housing law must be passed and enforced. (It was passed the next year, but ever since, it has been enforced only sporadically.) Such a law can save our democracy — but only if Americans of European ancestry acknowledge their fellow citizens of African ancestry must have total equality. A nation predicated on the premise 'equality for all' that cynically practices an unwritten policy of 'equality for some' shall in the final analysis grant equality to none; all of its citizens shall find their freedoms forfeit."
It turned out busing wasn't the solution — open housing is. The still-unaddressed issue of racial segregation remains the elephant in the living room of our national conscience. As we celebrate Black History Month in America's most segregated region 60 years after the Brown decision, DPS suffers under an unwarranted decade-long state takeover and unlawful partitioning, and our city suffers under a similar "emergency management" and "bankruptcy" yoke the gangster banksters and this Republican governor and legislature have put around our necks.
