The Last House on the Left is a 1972 American exploitation-horror film written, edited, and directed by Wes Craven and produced by Sean S. Cunningham. The film follows two teenage girls who are taken into the woods and tortured by a gang of murderous thugs. The story is inspired by the 1960 Swedish film The Virgin Spring, directed by Ingmar Bergman, which in turn is based on a Swedish ballad "Töres döttrar i Wänge".
Craven's directorial debut, the film was made on a modest budget of $87,000, and was filmed in New York City and rural Connecticut in 1971. It was released theatrically in the United States on August 30, 1972, and was a major box office success, grossing over $3 million domestically. Although its confrontational violence resulted in its being heavily censored and sometimes banned in other countries, the film was generally well-received by critics.[3] The film was remade into The Last House on the Left in 2009.
Mari Collingwood plans to attend a concert with her friend, Phyllis Stone, for her 17th birthday. Her parents, Estelle and John, express concern at the band and at Mari's friendship with Phyllis, but let her go and give her a peace symbol necklace. Phyllis and Mari go to the city for the concert. On the way, they hear a news report on the car radio of a recent prison escape, involving criminals Krug Stillo, a sadistic rapist and serial killer; his son Junior; Sadie, a promiscuous psychopath[4] and sadist; and Fred "Weasel" Podowski, a child molester, peeping tom, and murderer. Before the concert, Mari and Phyllis encounter Junior when trying to buy marijuana. He leads them to an apartment where they are trapped by the criminals. Phyllis tries to escape, then reason with the criminals, but she fails and is gang-raped by Krug, Weasel and Sadie. Meanwhile, Mari's unsuspecting parents prepare a surprise party for her.
Mari and Phyllis are transported to the woods by the criminals. Mari recognizes that the road is near her home. Mari and Phyllis are forced to have sex with each other and Sadie performs oral sex on a weeping Mari. Phyllis absconds to distract the kidnappers and offer Mari an opportunity to escape but is chased by Sadie and Weasel, while Junior stays behind to guard Mari. Mari tries gaining Junior's trust by giving him her necklace and naming him "Willow". Phyllis is cornered and stabbed to death by Weasel. Sadie reaches into Phyllis's wounds and pulls out the insides.
Mari convinces Junior to let her go, but they are halted by Krug. Sadie and Weasel present Phyllis' severed hand and Krug proceeds to carve his name into Mari's chest, then rapes her. Mari vomits, quietly says a prayer, and walks into the nearby lake to clean herself. Krug fatally shoots her, leaving her body floating in the lake. Krug, Sadie, and Weasel wash and change out of their bloody clothes.
In their new attire, the gang go to the Collingwoods' home, masquerading as traveling salesmen. Mari's parents let them stay overnight, but Junior exposes their identity when Mari's mother sees he is wearing Mari's peace symbol necklace. Estelle eavesdrops while the gang is spending the night in Mari's bedroom, and finds blood-soaked clothing in their luggage. She and her husband rush into the woods, where they find Mari's body on the bank of the lake. They carry Mari's body back to the house and exact revenge against the crooks.
Estelle seduces Weasel and performs fellatio on him that turns deadly when she bites off his penis and leaves him to bleed to death. Mari's father John takes his shotgun into the room where two of the criminals are sleeping. Krug escapes into the living room and overpowers John, but is then confronted by Junior, brandishing a revolver and threatening to kill him. Krug manipulates Junior into committing suicide. Krug is incapacitated by an electrocution booby-trap set earlier by John. Sadie rushes outside, where she is tackled by Estelle. Sadie escapes but falls into the backyard swimming pool where Estelle slits her throat with a knife. The sheriff arrives just as John kills Krug with a chainsaw, and the deputy brings Estelle into the living room before removing the chainsaw from John's hands.

Sean S. Cunningham made his directorial debut with the white coater film The Art of Marriage. His film grossed $100,000 and attracted the company Hallmark Releasing (unaffiliated with Hallmark Cards Inc.). Cunningham made the film Together as a "better version" of film. Wes Craven, who had no money, was put on the job of synchronizing dailies for Cunningham's four-day re-shoot.[5] He soon began editing the film with Cunningham and they became good friends. Hallmark Releasing bought the film for $10,000 and it was considered a "hit". Hallmark Releasing wanted them to do another film with a bigger budget and gave them $90,000 to shoot a horror film.
Cunningham served as producer and Craven served as writer and director.
Written by Craven in 1971, the original script was intended to be a graphic 'hardcore' film, with all actors and crew being committed to filming it as such.[5] However, after shooting began, the hard decision was made to edit down to a much softer film. This script, written as Night of Vengeance, has never been released; only a brief glimpse is visible in the featurette Celluloid Crime of the Century, and a sample is available in the UK DVD release.
The film was shot on location in New York City, as well as Long Island and rural locations outside of Westport, Connecticut.[6]
The film's soundtrack was written by Stephen Chapin and David Hess. Chapin wrote all the incidental music for the movie; he also did all the arrangements and orchestration as well as all the contracting and producing musicians.
Hess also played the main antagonist Krug. It is particularly notable for being heavily contrasted with the events on screen. For example, as the gang drives the two girls out into the countryside, the upbeat, almost comical tune "Baddies Theme" plays and, after the rape scene, a soothing ballad plays. This counterpointing was also used elsewhere in the film, with the slapstick antics of the two police officers occurring in between scenes of torture. The soundtrack was released commercially around the same time as the film. In 1999 the soundtrack was re-released on compact disc by Hess on Rock Bottom Rules Records. In 2013 the soundtrack had a re-release on vinyl, compact disc, cassette and digital download on One Way Static Records. It was also re-issued on a limited hand numbered picture disc for Record Store Day 2014.[7][8]
The film underwent many name changes, including Sex Crime of the Century (from the characters' dialogue in the car ride scene), Krug and Company (a version included on the DVD release), and The Men's Room (simply because one poster showed a men's bathroom). None of these names were particularly successful. Someone then came up with the title The Last House on the Left, along with the infamous "To avoid fainting, keep repeating 'It's only a movie'..." advertising campaign. (In actuality, it had been used twice before: first for gore-meister H.G. Lewis's 1964 splatter film Color Me Blood Red, and then for William Castle's Strait-Jacket the following year.) The film under the Last House... title proved to be a massive hit. Stories as to where the advertising campaign originated vary somewhat. Sean Cunningham claims that the person who gave the idea for it was watching a cut of the film with his wife, who continually covered her eyes, prompting him to tell her that it was "only a movie". Other origins have been suggested, however.[9] The tagline was so successful that many other exploitation films later used it, sometimes with their own spin. The title was sometimes imitated, as in the case of Last House on Dead End Street.[10]

The film received generally positive reviews. The film currently has a 63% rating at Rotten Tomatoes.[3] Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half stars out of four, and described it as "about four times as good as you'd expect"[11] and maintained that opinion in the mid-1980s when he supported his positive comments again on a special episode of Siskel & Ebert called "Hidden Horror".
The film was nominated for AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills.[12]
The film was censored in many countries, and was particularly controversial in the United Kingdom. The film was refused a certificate for cinema release by the BBFC in 1974[13] due to scenes of sadism and violence. During the early 1980s home video boom, the film was released uncut (save for an incidental, gore-free scene with the comedy cops, and the end credit roll) as a video that did not fall under their remit at the time. This changed when the "video nasty" scare which started in 1982 led to the Video Recordings Act 1984. This in turn banned the film as one of the Department of Public Prosecutions list of "video nasties".
The film remained banned throughout the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s. However it had built a cult reputation in the UK, and critics such as Mark Kermode began to laud the film as an important piece of work. In 2000, the film was again presented to the BBFC for theatrical certification and it was again refused.[14] Blue Underground toured an uncut print around Britain without a BBFC certificate, with Southampton City Council granting the uncut version its own 18 certificate.[15] It was granted a license for a one-off showing in Leicester in June 2000, after which the BBFC again declared that the film would not receive any form of certification.
In June 2002 the BBFC won against an appeal made to the Video Appeals Committee by video distributor Blue Underground Limited. The BBFC had required 16 seconds of cuts to scenes of sexual violence before the video could be given an '18' certificate. Blue Underground Limited refused to make the cuts, and the BBFC therefore rejected the video. The distributor then appealed to the VAC, who upheld the BBFC's decision.[16] During the appeal, film critic Mark Kermode was called in as a horror expert to make a case for the film's historical importance. However, after his report, the committee not only upheld the cuts but doubled them.[17]
The film was eventually given an '18' certificate with 31 seconds of cuts on July 17, 2002, and was released in the UK on DVD in May 2003. The cut scenes were viewable as a slideshow extra on the disc, and there was a weblink to a website where the cut scenes could be viewed.
The BBFC classified the film uncut for video release on March 17, 2008.
Rare or lost scenes[edit]
Many different versions of the film exist on various DVD and VHS releases struck from different cuts of the film, many of them from different countries.[5] To get a completely uncut version is difficult as even some cinema machinists cut footage from prints of the movie before screening it during the 1970s; many copies were cut or "hacked to pieces" and because of this some scenes have become rarities.[5] According to Wes Craven, some people who were offended by the movie even stole copies of the original film and burned them.[18]
Some incomplete scenes are:
- "Lesbian rape scene" – One scene long thought lost, except as a photographic still, is the two female victims forced to commit sexual acts on each other in the woods. This forced lesbian rape scene was included as an outtake with no sound on the Metrodome Three-Disc DVD Ultimate Edition and on the 2011 Blu-ray release.[5][19][20]
- "Mari in her room" - Photographic stills exist showing a nude Mari in her room in the beginning of the movie where she is reading birthday cards; the shot scenes of this no longer exist.[21]
- "Mari raped by Sadie" - Footage of Sadie committing sexual acts against Mari in the woods is often removed, even from some DVDs that have been labeled as "uncut".[20][21]
In the Krug and Company cut, Mari is still alive when her parents find her. She tells her parents what happened to her and Phyllis before dying in front of them.[19]
In 1980s, Vestron Pictures hired Danny Steinmann to write and direct a sequel, though the film fell apart in pre-production due to rights issues.[22][23] Mario Bava's film Twitch of the Death Nerve was also released under the titles Last House on the Left – Part II, Last House – Part II and New House on the Left.[24]
In August 2006, Rogue Pictures finalized a deal to remake The Last House on the Left with original writer and director Wes Craven as a producer. The company intended to preserve the storyline of the original film. Craven described his involvement with the remake: "I'm far enough removed from these films that the remakes are a little like having grandchildren. The story, about the painful side effects of revenge, is an evergreen. The headlines are full of people and nations taking revenge and getting caught up in endless cycles of violence."[25] Craven formed Midnight Pictures, a shingle of Rogue, to remake The Last House on the Left as its first project. Production was slated for early 2007.[26] Screenwriter Adam Alleca was hired to write the script for the remake.
In May 2007, Rogue entered negotiations with director Dennis Iliadis to direct the film.[27] The film was released to theaters in the US and Canada on March 13, 2009.

Our trustees are agents of change
The Summit Area YMCA is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees which is charged with making sure we're always in a position to help the people in our community develop the skills and relationships they need to be healthy, confident and connected to others. Our Board establishes operating policies, provides planning and strategic direction, and helps secure the resources we need to promote change in the community and advance the YMCA's mission.
Peter Pardo
I first joined the Y (in Tampa) upon graduating from college. I joined for exercise but discovered programs that also stimulated spirits and minds – with a notable emphasis on children and teens. Over a +20-year relationship with the Y - extending to big cities (NY), small cities (Piqua, OH) and internationally - I have found all Ys staff and programs to be consistent in cause and commitment to strengthening their surrounding communities. As a former board member of the Tampa Y and now as a Trustee of the Summit Y, I hope to nurture the Y principles for future generations, including my four daughters who are active in a number of Y programs.
Jagruti Oza
Vice Chair
My two sons developed their athletic abilities many years ago starting with their first Mom and Me swim class at the Y. It was followed by swim lessons, youth basketball clinics and leagues, and now open gym and the weight room. In the early days, as a newcomer to town, joining the Y made me feel grounded and fostered my feelings of belonging in the community. I cheered my kids on the sideline along with other parents, and participated in the gym and yoga classes myself. And, I remember the arrival of the Y brochures by mail was the trigger to register my boys for their enrichment programs – classes which they so enjoyed and in which they thrived. Summit is a wonderful town and we are blessed with so many people who care and give of themselves to others. That strengthens us individually and collectively. I am thrilled to be part of the Board of Trustees and follow in the footsteps of those who have given back."
Paul Kieltyka
President & CEO
I grew up attending the Westfield YMCA and, at a young age, I learned how the Y brought the community together. After Graduate School, I accepted a job at the Y and quickly determined that it would be my career path. I love the values that we embrace, the uniqueness of everyday in the Y, and the impact we make on the community. Seeing a toddler smiling and learning in child care, a youngster making his first basket in the gymnasium, a teen volunteering to help our local food pantry, or a swimmer representing the Y at the highest level of competition is magical to me. These experiences are enhanced when I see families, adults, seniors and so many others building community inside and outside our Y every day. The Y is not only where I have the privilege to make an impact, it is also where I take care of my own mental and physical health by exercising regularly. I truly look to share the joy I have experienced, and continue to experience, with others!
Emily Aprea Secretary, Treasurer & CFO
I chose to work at the Y because I wanted to give back to the community by working at a non profit organization. As a single mom with three adolescent children, I knew my kids would benefit from my association with an organization dedicated to developing youth. All three of my kids have worked at the Y — how wonderful knowing that their first working experiences would be at an employer concerned about their development. The Y has helped me raise philanthropic young adults who continue to give back to the community. I feel great knowing that my work is helping others.

My experience with the Y started after moving to Summit in 2000. Joining the Y was the first thing I did after unpacking, even before applying for a parking permit. Since then, I've been there hundreds of times to work out, my four children have learned to swim, and had their first youth sports experiences through the Y. Over the years I've learned so much more about the Y's role in our community, providing support for families and children to be active and healthy. As a board member, I'm excited to play a part in providing for the Y's continued growth for the next 125 years.
Greg Fernicola
I have been connected to the YMCA for decades, starting with a family membership at the Shore Area YMCA in the 1960s where my five siblings and I were on the swim team and regularly participated in the many other activities that the Y had to offer. When I moved to New York City in 1986, I joined the Y of Greater New York and remained a member until 2006 when I moved to Summit. My family is active at the Summit Y — my wife and I regularly work out and my two daughters participate in the many programs offered such as aquatics, tennis, soccer and camp. I have been impressed with the YMCA organization and its mission — everybody is welcome, regardless of financial ability or background. I am very fortunate to work with a number of talented individuals on our board.
Jeff Giroux
Thomas Hall
The YMCA has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a toddler I took swimming lessons at the Somerset Hills YMCA, where I went on to compete as a member of the swim team for thirteen years. I was also a very active participant in what is now referred to as Adventure Guides and a youth leadership program. My high school years found me adding work as a lifeguard, swim instructor, volunteer swim coach, and front desk receptionist at the Y to my swim team activities – meaning that the majority of my days were spent at the Y. On returning to the area I joined the Summit Area YMCA, where my two daughters have remained active in the swimming programs from when they were six months old to today as they are both members of the swim team. I am proud to be a member of the SAY community, and am fortunate to be able to serve as President of the Swim Team Parents' Organization in addition to my role on the Board of Trustees. We are blessed to have such an amazing resource in our community – one that does much more for people than providing a place to work out. As an inclusive organization that that supports the development of children, active and healthy lifestyles, and social responsibility, the YMCA is unparalleled.
Kevin Hill
I first came to the Y to become physically fit - little did I know that I would gain overall wellness in body and soul. The more time I spent at the Y, the more I learned about the depth of their programs and support of the community. The Summit Area YMCA is a place where everyone can come to feel healthy, comfortable, safe and connected. As a child, I had a difficult upbringing, which inspired me to make a difference in the lives of others and to have a positive impact on the community. That is exactly what the Y does. I want to be aligned with organizations that share my values – so I became a volunteer at the Y. This area is a beautiful place to live but, just like everywhere, there are individuals and families who are struggling financially, physically, socially, and emotionally – the Y is always there to make a meaningful impact in their lives. I believe in the Y's cause and helping others feeds my soul.

I've been an active member of the Summit community for many years through my volunteer work with youth and families. In my career as a teaching professional for people of all ages, and now most recently in the field of early childhood, I get an up close view of how important community is. This has led me to the Summit Area YMCA, where as a volunteer campaign leader for the Y's Annual Campaign, I can raise funds to help make a difference in the lives of those in need of a helping hand. Additionally, I have become a member of the Branch Advisory Board for The Learning Circle YMCA where I see the impact of educating our youngest members of the community and engaging their parents in meaningful activity at the schools. Not only do I believe that education is important, but it is the key to changing the pre-determined path of past generations. In doing so, I am gratified to play a small part in strengthening my community."

The YMCA has been an integral part of our family for decades. Our 3 children learned how to swim at the Y and had their first experience on the soccer field through the YMCA's youth soccer program. The friends my son made in the Adventure Guides program are still one and the same over 20 years later. The Summit Seals swim team took up a good deal of time during the colder months for two of our children. The quotes on the back of the swim teams t-shirts still ring true with our children as they navigate their career paths. Today, as Carolyn & I approach empty nester status, we find ourselves in the Y several times a week with my time split between the gym and the pool. The Summit YMCA has been part of the fabric of our 23 years in Summit. Our children have learned many life lessons at the YMCA and we still have someone to greet us every time we walk in the door. I'm happy to have the opportunity to serve on the board and make sure the family friendly appeal of the Summit YMCA is there for decades to come.

I was working full throttle in the early 1990s to build a business, when I found myself out of sorts and out of shape. Soon thereafter, I joined the Summit YMCA to exercise and improve my health. I quickly learned the Y was unlike other gyms I had sporadically patronized in the past. I found that class instructors and personal trainers really cared about members, and that members cared about each other. It was at the Y that I made my lifelong commitment to fitness. When my husband and I moved to Berkeley Heights, we transferred our membership to the Berkeley Heights YMCA. It is a special place where the remarkable kindness and support of the staff and members inspired me to get personally involved in the broader mission of the Y – to shape a better, stronger community for adults, children, and senior (even those that weren't members). I am proud to be part of the Board of Trustees and a part of a movement that enriches people's lives.

My experience with the Summit YMCA started at Overlook Hospital in the mid 90's when the Y managed our employee fitness center. When that ended, my logical choice was to join the Y. It was at the Y that I learned how to swim as an adult, tried out and got to enjoy different exercise classes and became health and wellness-conscious. Over the years, I've developed real friendships with the instructors and fellow members. I am grateful to be part of the Y community and the Board of Trustees.
My relationship with the Y began shortly after my first child started walking. Those early swim lessons soon made way for summer camp, soccer and basketball games. My children learned valuable athletic and life skills, especially in terms of the friendships they formed. The Y Adventure Guides program gave my family wonderful memories of infamous campouts, as well as solid friendships with other Y families that we still cherish today. Each day our family is at the Y; whether it is a 5 a.m. power workout for my husband, a late morning routine for me, or the pool and gym after school for my children. And, I anticipate that my children will become more involved with the Y as they grow older through the teen volunteer and summer camp counselor programs.
As I think about what the Y has meant to my family, "great" precedes every benefit - great health, great life practices, great experiences and great relationships. The Y offers all of these benefits to members of the community, regardless of the ability to pay. The Y is pulse of our community and I value how my friendships there span generations and diverse backgrounds. I am proud to represent the Y as a member, parent and trustee.
My YMCA story is a family-centered story. It started in the late 1960s when my parents joined a Hudson county YMCA and enrolled me in swim classes. When I moved to Summit in 1987 as a young adult and started commuting into New York, the Summit YMCA became a convenient exercise stop for me on my way home and it continues to be the place where I keep my body and mind healthy. Once I became a mother, I enrolled my sons in the Summit Child Care Center (now The Learning Circle YMCA) where I started the PTO and became its first President, and then as a member of the Board helped facilitate the center's merger with the YMCA. The YMCA was central to my children's lives -- swim lessons, soccer leagues, roller hockey, Halloween Haunted House, Breakfast With Santa and the Easter Bunny, the free 7th grade membership, and the pool were just a few things they did at the Y. My husband too was involved as a Y soccer referee and he was one of those who loved to run on the indoor track! When my dad passed away and my mom moved in with us, the Y became an important place for her to belong -- she began taking classes, made friends, and soon began to volunteer and work in the community. In short, each and every interaction, exercise and enrichment opportunity was a treat for each of us individually and as a family.
As an advocate for youth, families and individual growth, I am grateful to be a member of the Board. As the world continues to change rapidly, it is essential that our support organizations evolve with the same speed and resilience. I have seen the growth and outreach of our Summit YMCA over the years and I am excited to be a part of nurturing and expanding the opportunities for our entire community moving forward.
One of the first things I did upon moving to Summit in 1998 was to join the Y. Almost immediately, it became a hub of family activity, with my 5 children participating in the soccer and basketball leagues, climbing the wall, enjoying family swim, and exploring nature on countless Adventure Guide campouts. The Haunted House was an annual highlight, as well. Now, with the kids growing up, we come back for group exercise classes or to work out in the gym. The mission of the Y resonates with the whole family and so I'm proud to take an active part as a trustee to help promote and advance those principals.
My involvement with the Y started with two unrelated events: a bonus check and an aging mother who was becoming less mobile each day. So when I received the check I started to think about how I might be able to help people in need. I started thinking about the needs of the elderly (people who could benefit from wheelchairs or walkers) but decided instead to set up a fund for kids to go to camp. That happened because the Y was most responsive to my calls, and presented me with the most compelling reason for help.
Initially, I had only thought about the Y as the place to do yoga but gradually began to understand its place in the community and how many residents came to it for help. Camp meant a lot to me growing up in a city, and to my mother who sometimes worked at the camp so I could go for free. Since the creation of the fund, it has been gratifying to hear from the children who benefit from the scholarships the Y provides; and very gratifying personally to have such a satisfying relationship with the Board, which has now lasted almost a decade.
My first encounter with the Y was when I was researching swim team programs for my daughters. Since swimmers spend so much time alone during practice, I wanted a program that was competitive but also provided friendship and team support; Summit YMCA was a good fit for my family. Five-plus years later, my daughters are thriving -- sharing bonds of commitment, hard work and achievement with their swim teammates. Spending so much time at the Y, my family jokes that the "Follow Me to the Summit Y" magnet was meant for my car! Now, I in turn want to give back and spend my time supporting the Y's mission of promoting youth development, healthy lifestyles, and social responsibility. What sticks in my mind is how during Hurricane Sandy when so many of us were without power, the Y opened its doors to anyone in the area who needed a place to power up, shower or just to share stories and commiserate. The Y serves an important role in the community and positively impacts lives of all groups – children, families and seniors. I am pleased to be a member of the Y community and the Board of Trustees.

1991: Virginia Prince on the use of Transgender
What follows is an exchange between Virginia Prince and Tere Fredrickson, co-organizer (along with the primary organizer, Phyllis Frye, VP of GCTC) of the ICTLEP Conference.
Dear Linda and Tere: Sept 1, 1991
Thanks for sending me the issues of Gender Euphoria. I feel something of a proprietary interest in it because of its title. It was named such after I made a point about euphoria and against dysphoria in my keynote speech at a Be All in Detroit several years ago or the keynote at the first IFGE convention in Chicago. I don't know who it was now, maybe it was you Linda, but somebody told me later that they were so taken by the term that they were going to use it as the title of the newsletter. [Ed: Jan Rupard gets the credit for "borrowing" the name.] So it's thanks in one direction and you're welcome in the other.
Now to cases in point. I hope neither of you will take offense if grandma raises some points about your "transgender behavior" article in the Sept issue of Euphoria. To begin with, I coined the term "transgenderist" as a name for the specific behavior of living full time but without SRS. It is a noun not an adjective. "Transgender behavior" could properly only refer to behavior of a transgenderist not to the general behavior of people who express both genders at different times.(1) You are doing what is always done, perverting a specific term by non-specific use. It's no wonder there is so much confusion and argument about terms—so many people will not use them as intended and thus contribute a whole lot of different meanings with consequent confusion.
Moreover, since the prefix "trans-" refers to crossing over and implies, as I meant it when I coined the word, a permanent or possibly semi-permanent crossing of the gender line. Yet using the adjective to apply to people who not only dress for parties or on weekends or whatever, is NOT a transgenderist and does not manifest transgender behavior. Alternate gender behavior would be closer to what you mean since you are talking about behavior patterns, WHEN the person is cross dressed and not during other times. In other words he alternates between the two genders. You have used the term "transgender behavior or roles" repeatedly throughout the article.
But the next line in the subtitle really gets to me and discourages me quite a bit. Both of you have heard me speak and read my writings and even if you hadn't you are both intelligent enough to know that sex and gender are two different things. Both are nouns and not adjectives. )o you can no more speak of "female gender role" than you could of gender females. The fact that a lot of people both lay and unfortunately professionals too misuse the words is not a justification for the two of you doing it too. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FEMALE GENDER (or of male gender for that matter). If you are going to be officers of a respected organization and editors of its newsletters it is incumbent upon you not to further the confusion that already exists in the field but rather to use your positions and reputations to help reeducate newer and less knowledgeable persons.
In the 4th long paragraph you speak of "female clothing". Again, female is a noun not an adjective. If there were female and male clothing like there are female and male dogs you could breed them and get "baby clothes". "The transgendered individual will typically explore all aspects of sexuality, both male and female." How can a male explore f°m ,le sexuality or vice versa? The fact that males can receive the penises of other males orally or anally which are orifices like the vagina, that is NOT female sexuality. Again, "dressed as a female". Clothing and dressing are genderal behaviors so you CANNOT be dressed as a female. You can and would be "dressed as a woman"."Female sexual exploration"—no way!
"In older transgendered males we see the effects of `change of life' which can be quite convincing." Can they indeed? Since the expression refers to the readjustment of the physiology of females when their ovaries cease making estrogen, progesterone and other less well known hormones, and since males do not make appreciable estrogen to begin with how can they show the results of a cessation of its production?? True males may cease making as much testosterone, become impotent and somewhat more feminine in appearance and it is sometimes called the male climacteric, but it is NOT a change of life in the same sense. Being impotent, they cease their attempts to "make it" with women which may be a change of life in the same sense as in females. Don't let your wishful thinking get out of hand.
In the last paragraph—"a complete female identity"; a "female name". One more time, please, female is not an adjective. Moreover, a male could not. possibly achieve a
"complete female identity". Even TSs don't completely accomplish that because they are not complete females, did not grow up and become socialized as females. There are feminine names and there are names of females, but there are no female names. Male and female imply anatomical differences. Clothing, names and behavior do not have any sex organs and therefore cannot properly be called female. Learn to use the right words in the right way. Feminine is an adjective and can properly be used to modify a noun such as clothing or a name. Or you can use the possessive form, i.e., "women's (girl's or men's) clothing, eyeglasses, names or whatever." In the last little section of the article, top of page 8, 2nd column, you are back to "full time female gender role". As you know I have lived full time as a woman not as a female for the last 21 years.
I hope that neither of you will try to justify the above examples of incorrect usage by just saying as many have, "Oh Virginia is on her hobby horse again and just playing semantic games." People who do say such things generally don't even understand what semantics is. Also just so you won't feel that I am picking on you I enclose a reprint of an article I had in the Journal of Sex Research back in 1985. I hope you will both take the time to read it and note that it became necessary to gently call the professionals to task on these matters also. So you are in good company.
Well as usual my letters are overly long but I hope this will prove of use to you. The reason I make such an issue of the sex/gender confusion•is that if more members of our community REALLY understood the difference and used the right words in the right way there would be fewer TSs and probably fewer suicides, divorces and heartaches in our community. Those of us, which includes you two as well as me, who do understand the field have
duty to set a good example, to educate, and to explain to those that do not.
I will look forward to a commentary from you about the above. And allow me to express the hope that your next Part IV will be carefully proof read to avoid the improper usages some of which I have pointed out above. I wish its title would be, "Sexuality of Crossdressing Persons," and not "transgendered". After all, I am a truly transgendered person and what do you know about my sexuality—except that it is still going strong at 79!!
Love to you both,
Special to Tere: "Toolbox" article. There is absolutely no way anybody except a true physical hermaphrodite can "bridge the gap between male and female". Between man and woman or between masculinity and femininity (gender), yes, but not d and 4 (sex)!!
Ed: It isn't often that someone of the stature of Virginia Prince takes the time to write to us little gals down here in the middle of the Lone Star State, but we did get a two-stage letter from her! We do take her critique seriously and believe she has valid points to make. We provided our commentary on her observations as follows:
Our commentary:
Differentiation between sex (anatomical/ chromosomal male and female physiological/ morphological structure) and gender traits and behaviors (man/woman, masculine/feminine, etc.). It is important to note however, that gender role and behavior is independent of anatomical/chromosomal sex. Gender roles and identities • are adopted through both innate comfort of behavior and socialization. In our lectures to college classes, we make the differentiation between sex and gender very clear.
Classification of male/female as nouns only and not adjectives. Common English usage as reflected in virtually any contemporary English dictionary lists "male" and "female" as adjectives as well as nouns. The terms when used as an adjective denote traits and characteristics typically ascribed to that genetic sex, i.e., synonymous with terms "masculine", "feminine", "masculinity", "femininity", "men's", "women's", etc.
The "change of life" statement was taken out of the context of identification with female physiological occurrences. The male will identify so strongly in some cases that a psychosymptomatic response will result, paralleling the symptomatic female occurrence.
The term and usage of "transgender" as an adjective to denote "cross-gender" behavior. Our application is a single encompassing term which can be used to describe any and all forms of cross-gender behavior manifestation, and it is etymologically correct. It has been our experience when using this term with the lay public to describe our behavior that the term does not elicit the negative response typical of "transvestite", "transsexual", or even "cross-dresser". It is therefore a simple, and accurate term to use with the general population in education programs—"Oh yeah, some of my best friends are transgendered.."
We do however recognize the term "transgenderist" as specifically coined and to be applied in the vernacular of our community as referring to one who is cross-living full-time in the gender role typically ascribed or assigned to the opposite genetic sex (three of our B&P informational pamphlets define "transgenderist" in the manner for which it was coined). "Cross-liver" would probably be a more appropriate term for "transgenderist" but someone would probably confuse it with a doubly irate organ of bile or "chopped liver".
"Bridging the gap between male and female." True, as written, use of "man and woman" would be clearer and more appropriate. Contextually, however, it can easily be taken (as intended) to refer to "male and female gender roles and identities – we, as transgendered persons having dome degree of understanding of gender roles typically assigned to both sexes (uh oh, we used "male", "female" and "transgendered" as adjectives again – we're incorrigible aren't we!).
We do love ya! …and keep writing!
1.) Prince asserts, "To begin with, I coined the term "transgenderist" as a name for the specific behavior of living full time but without SRS. It is a noun not an adjective. "Transgender behavior" could properly only refer to behavior of a transgenderist not to the general behavior of people who express both genders at different times." This is factually wrong. Prince first used the term in print in 1978 (Prince later claims to have coined the term in 1988). Phyllis Frye was using the term prior to Prince and in early 1975, FI News went into a detailed explanation of what the trans community means when we use the term "transgenderist".

Part 1 – Youth and First marriage Bibliography Part II – Second Marriage Part III – Femmiphilic activist Part IV – Full-time Living Part V – Transgenderist dowager Jargon terms and general comments In 1985 Virginia and Christine Jorgensen appeared in Lee Grant's documentary, What Sex Am I? Dorothy Marie Shepherd, Arnold's first wife, died the same year. This was also the year that the Clarke Institute in Toronto published Gender Dysphoria which laid out the dichotomy between heterosexual autogynephilics and 'homosexual transsexuals'. While this corresponded to Prince's insistence that homosexuals and femmiphics were, to use her term, "separate breeds of cat" there is no record that I have found of either Kurt Freund and Ray Blanchard of the Clarke on one side or Virginia Prince on the other discussing how femmiphilia and autogynephilia are different or similar, although later writers see them as two aspects of the same thing. Frederick Whitam published his Male Homosexuality in Four Societies in 1986. He argues that homosexuality and transvestic homosexuality are as natural as heterosexuality and occur in all societies, and homosexuals in general tend to patterns of early cross-gender behavior. He sees heterosexual transvestites as a different category and protests their appropriation of the word 'transvestite'. "Some heterosexual transvestites, not wanting to be identified as being homosexual, have insisted that they are the 'true transvestites' and take a demeaning attitude towards drag queens and female impersonators". (p80) We now had three solitudes that should have been talking to each other, but did not.
Gynophilia: The romantic and/or sexual attraction to adult females, while Androphilia is the romantic and/or sexual attraction to adult male. These terms are increasingly used in the reference of transgender people and their attractions to people of their same birth gender. The terms homosexual, gay or lesbian to describe a Transgender man's attraction to woman or Transgender woman's attraction to men are not accurate.
Usage of the umbrella sense of the term transgender gained prominence within the 'transgender community' quite quickly. To take just one example, if you go through the USA transgender subcultural newsletter Renaissance, you can trace the inception and consolidation of the use of 'transgendered' and 'transgender'. Volume 1, No. 1 of August 1987 refers to Renaissance as providing information about 'transgendered behavior' (p. 3). Volume 1, No. 5 of December 1987 includes a reprint of an interview with Richard Ekins about the 'Transgender Archive' (pp. 4-5) throughout which the term is used extensively in the 'transgender community' sense. In the same issue, two other articles are titled 'Conference on Transgender Issues' (p. 2), and 'Transgender Economics 101' (p. 3). 'A Brief History of Renaissance', in May 1990 (Volume 4, No. 5) makes reference to the December 1988 'comprehensive anti- discrimination policy designed to keep Renaissance open to all transgendered people' (p. 4).

Okay, so here's the kind of thing I do when I have too much time on my hands. This morning I created a book list on Amazon.com, featuring my forthcoming book (yes, of course, this is all about marketing) but also 39 other, far more worthy titles on the subjects of Christian mysticism and contemplative spirituality (like the just-released Complete Mystical Works of Meister Eckhart, pictured to the right). If you are looking to fortify your library of books on this wonderful topic, then follow this link and have fun browsing.
Here's your link to happy shopping: Mystical Christianity and Contemplative Spirituality Book List on Amazon.com (if you live in the USA, please do follow this particular link when you plan on purchasing; I get a modest commission on books sold through this link, which I then use to fortify my library).
And if you haven't done so already, please pre-order a copy of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism — it makes my editor (not to mention me) happy to think that people will actually buy the book.

I'm a 18 year old home-school grad, and I'm enrolling in a flight school to become a Commercial Pilot. The flight school I'm attending is set up as more of a "vocational" school than an actual university. So I'm looking for someone who can write grants for me to do so, I qualify for a plethora of Native American grants and such; however, I'm just not sure how to go about writing them for a higher education. If someone can help me do so that would be greatly appreciated. The grant(s) awarded would be applied to my tuition as well as my room and board. I will be receiving a full information packet shortly, giving a run down of the exact costs for my flight training. Room and board I can do separately if needed. I am going to be a little picky about who I accept proposals from. Minorities include: people who are in my country, and are with an organization or company. If you think you would be willing to help a student further their career, please contact me! Thank you for your time....

FOXG1 syndrome
FOXG1 syndrome
On this page:
Reviewed December 2013
What is FOXG1 syndrome?
FOXG1 syndrome is a condition characterized by impaired development and structural brain abnormalities. Affected infants are small at birth, and their heads grow more slowly than normal, leading to an unusually small head size (microcephaly) by early childhood. The condition is associated with a particular pattern of brain malformations that includes a thin or underdeveloped connection between the right and left halves of the brain (a structure called the corpus callosum), reduced folds and grooves (gyri) on the surface of the brain, and a smaller than usual amount of brain tissue known as white matter.
FOXG1 syndrome affects most aspects of development, and children with the condition typically have severe intellectual disability. Abnormal or involuntary movements, such as jerking movements of the arms and legs and repeated hand motions, are common, and most affected children do not learn to sit or walk without assistance. Babies and young children with FOXG1 syndrome often have feeding problems, sleep disturbances, seizures, irritability, and excessive crying. The condition is also characterized by limited communication and social interaction, including poor eye contact and a near absence of speech and language skills. Because of these social impairments, FOXG1 syndrome is classified as an autism spectrum disorder.
FOXG1 syndrome was previously described as a congenital variant of Rett syndrome, which is a similar disorder of brain development. Both disorders are characterized by impaired development, intellectual disability, and problems with communication and language. However, Rett syndrome is diagnosed almost exclusively in females, while FOXG1 syndrome affects both males and females. Rett syndrome also involves a period of apparently normal early development that does not occur in FOXG1 syndrome. Because of these differences, physicians and researchers now usually consider FOXG1 syndrome to be distinct from Rett syndrome.
Read more about Rett syndrome.
How common is FOXG1 syndrome?
FOXG1 syndrome appears to be rare. At least 30 affected individuals have been described in the medical literature.
What are the genetic changes related to FOXG1 syndrome?
As its name suggests, FOXG1 syndrome is caused by changes involving the FOXG1 gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called forkhead box G1. This protein plays an important role in brain development before birth, particularly in a region of the embryonic brain known as the telencephalon. The telencephalon ultimately develops into several critical structures, including the the largest part of the brain (the cerebrum), which controls most voluntary activity, language, sensory perception, learning, and memory.
In some cases, FOXG1 syndrome is caused by mutations within the FOXG1 gene itself. In others, the condition results from a deletion of genetic material from a region of the long (q) arm of chromosome 14 that includes the FOXG1 gene. All of these genetic changes prevent the production of forkhead box G1 or impair the protein's function. A shortage of functional forkhead box G1 disrupts normal brain development starting before birth, which appears to underlie the structural brain abnormalities and severe developmental problems characteristic of FOXG1 syndrome.
Read more about the FOXG1 gene and chromosome 14.
Can FOXG1 syndrome be inherited?
FOXG1 syndrome is considered an autosomal dominant condition, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. All reported cases have resulted from new mutations or deletions involving the FOXG1 gene and have occurred in people with no history of the disorder in their family. Because the condition is so severe, no one with FOXG1 syndrome has been known to have children.

The White Sox are finished with the arbitration process this season.
The White Sox announced the team agreed to deals with second baseman Gordon Beckham and outfielder Alejandro De Aza on Friday. Beckham will get $4.175 million for the next season, and De Aza will make $4.25 million.
[MORE: Williams: White Sox 'not giving up' on Masahiro Tanaka]
Beckham and De Aza were the White Sox lone remaining arbitration-eligible players after the club agreed on a deal with outfielder Dayan Viciedo earlier this week.
Beckham will return for his sixth season on the South Side. He batted .267 last season with a .322 on-base percentage, though he appeared in just 103 games while battling a broken bone in his hand. Beckham has posted a .249/.314/.372 slash line over the course of his career.
De Aza's role could be drastically different this season after the Sox acquired Adam Eaton during the offseason, who figures to be the team's everyday center fielder. It's unknown whether De Aza will start in left field, split time with Viciedo in left field or be relegated to a bench role. De Aza hit .264 with a .323 on-base percentage in 153 games last season.

i bought this because i had a coupon and my makeup artist friend recommended it to me. i ended up paying like 3-4 bucks for it. honestly, i think it's better than my shu uemura one. it's hard to curl my left eye with the shu one but i didn't have that problem with the revlon one. this one actually curled my lashes better than my shu because it even got the corner lashes that shu didn't get. i guess it's personal preference because i think the revlon one fits my eye shape better. for a couple bucks, there's nothing to lose. try it out! :)

This is my favourite curler and I have used many. I've used the Shu and Shiseido curlers, but they all pinch my eyes and pull my eyelashes out. I've lost about 7 eyelashes with those curlers! I have Asian eyes that do not have a crease, so I don't know why those curlers didn't work for me. Anyways, the Revlon curler did not pulled any of my lashes out and does not pinch. The only thing that is bad about it for me is that it didn't reach the lashes on the corner of my left eye. My right eye, however, curves beautifully.

Revlon is a brand that I had always trusted in the past, and that's why I decided to shell out the extra money for the fancy gold eyelash curler. The plastic bag it comes in is nice and reusable too. Well, this works for the first few times on a curl, but the pad then wears out quickly, and you're only given one extra pad. After the pad wears out, good luck getting a decent curl. And I always pinch myself with this. I have hated curling my eyelashes for a long time because I have always associated it with pain and having droopy lashes in the end anyway. I wouldn't recommend this. I know $20 is a lot of money to pay for an eyelash curler, and I'm hoping that when I get my Shiseido it'll be as good as everyone claims it is, because I'm tired of hurting myself with this thing. This contraption is also probably why I lose my lashes. And the square lash effect that everyone is talking about is so true. I don't know what the best eyelash curler is out there, but this certainly isn't it--unless you're some kind of pain-loving masochist.

I don't know how much my Asian eyes have to do with the quality of this eyelash curler, but it does not curl the lashes on the outermost edges of my eyes. I don't have the typical almond-shaped eyes, so my eyes aren't completely different from a Caucasian's eyes mind you. Also, this curler doesn't give a natural curl. It only crimps your eyelashes vertically upward, so it's not too natural looking. I paid 7 bucks for this curler and it is the first one I have ever bought, but even without trying other curlers, I can tell you that this isn't the one you're looking for.

i had recentrly lost my plastic cheap maybelline eyecurler so i decided to give revlon a try and bought the silver one because the lady said it was the best (comparing it to the gold one). Got home and almost popped my eye out, and i am NO beginer when it comes to curlers.
then i decided to try the gold one. Same thing WORST curler on the market stay away from it.
i think the problem is the design it doesn't fit my "eye".
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine

Doesn't curl my lashes well, gives me 90 degree curves which are terrible looking. I also never managed to get it close enough to my lash line. It takes a LOT of squeezing to get the curl to go on. My eyes was just not suited for the shape. I nipped the corners of my eyes so many times trying to get the complete curl. Too much effort, mediocre results. I've just bought a Shiseido Eyelash curler which is so much better and easier to use.

This is a cheap, poor quality eyelash curler. I bought it back when I didn't know any better. It doesn't really "curl" my lashes, it kind of just bends them in a weird upwards angle but only after you hold it for a long time. Otherwise, you get no results at all. Also, the replaceble rubber part splits in half lengthwise after awhile. I removed it once to replace it, and I found a few lashes trapped in there! So it's making me LOSE lashes without me knowing. Horrible, will never purchase again, I'd rather spend a bit more cash to buy a way better curler.

This is for the old school Revlon curler. I bought this awhile back coz I saw good results on my friend who has long lashes. Result? WORST NIGHTMARE EVER AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANY ONE AT ALL! To be honest I do love the fact that it DOES curl my short, straight Asian lashes and it is dirt cheap. But this eyelash curler RIPPED OUT A CHUNK OF MY LASHES!!!!! This shouldn't be called an eyelash curler, it should be called an eyelash cutter! I had to go with no lashes in the center of my right eye for about half a year! HORRIBLE PRODUCT! DO NOT PURCHASE! I don't want anyone out there to go through what I did. No curls are worth losing your lashes for! I am sticking with my Shu Uemura. PS: I even tried the new futuristic looking one too, does not work at all.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Other, Neutral

I bought this one because the Maybelline curler wasn't in stock, but I did get about the same "turn out" as I did with the Shu eyelash curler for 1/4 of the cost. I love it for the price. Would buy again, after I try the Maybelline curler and don't like it.
Age: Unknown
Skin: Normal, Other, Not Sure

Very basic. Great price. I got it onsale :) I was debating between this one or a fancy expensive one, but I decided on the Revlon curler and I love it, even for my Asian eyes. Definitely works, but takes a few times practice in front of the mirror.

If the task force's recommendations are adopted in payment policies by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and private insurers, millions of dollars in billable tests would not be performed, hitting the imaging industry at a point when it is already absorbing reimbursement cuts from CMS.
A statement from the Access to Medical Imaging Coalition (AMIC), which represents physicians, equipment manufacturers, patient groups, and those who develop imaging technology, said the guidelines seem to go against President Barack Obama's stated goals to increase efforts in early disease detection.
"Unfortunately, Medicare has already refused to cover new technologies to increase the detection of colon cancer, is cutting payments for advanced diagnostic tests such as MRI of the breast by 50%, and now the USPSTF is paving the way for insurers to deny mammography coverage," said Tim Trysla, AMIC executive director.
"This type of policy, which puts millions of women of all ages at risk, is contrary to the evidence and the President's own words, makes no sense, and should be rejected," he said.
The recommendations were issued in a paper published today in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the journal of the American College of Physicians, and was published by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
The guidance represents a significant departure from the task force's recommendations from 2002, which suggested mammography screening—with or without clinical breast examination—every one to two years for women 40 years of age or older.
They also go against recommendations from the American Cancer Society on breast cancer screening.
The task force's 16 members are appointed by the U.S. government and work with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to review the evidence of effectiveness and develop recommendations for clinical preventive services.
The task force's review concluded there's inadequate evidence that more frequent mammography carries life-saving benefits. Rather, it concluded, potential harm from screening may result, including "psychological harms, unnecessary imaging tests and biopsies in women without cancer, and inconvenience due to false-positive screening results."
The task force also referred to "the harms associated with treatment of cancer that would not become clinically apparent during a woman's lifetime (overdiagnosis), as well as the harms of unnecessary earlier treatment of breast cancer that would have become clinically apparent, but would not have shortened a woman's life. Radiation exposure (from radiologic tests), although a minor concern, is also a consideration."
The task force said women who are at high risk for breast cancer and are between the ages of 40-49 should talk with their doctor about the best time to start regular, biennial screening mammography.
Among other highlights of its report, the task force said there isn't enough evidence to assess benefits or harms of digital mammography or magnetic resonance imaging instead of film mammography.

They say that the MonoTracer is part car, part motorcycle, and part airplane. If you watch action movies, you've probably already seen one. Featured in the 2012 movie, Total Recall, the MonoTracer plays a futuristic police motorcycle.
If you prefer television, you can see the MonoTracer featured on TechToys 360 or Brazil's Auto Esporte TV.
The electric version of this high-performance cabin motorcycle goes 150 mph at full throttle, accelerates from 0-62 in less than 5 seconds, and can take you 180 miles on a full charge. Peraves CEO Roger Riedener adds that because the body is made of Kevlar, the MonoTracer is also bullet proof.
How much can you expect to pay for that kind of safety and performance? Today, it's about $104,000 USD.
But inventor Arnold Wagner, who is from Switzerland, doesn't see his vehicle as a toy for wealthy elites. In fact, he thinks once a bike like the MonoTracer goes into mass production, it could sell in the $20,000 to 25,000 range.
"In the states and in Switzerland, everyone has a car with four or five seats, and it's [often] unnecessary," Wagner says. "This thing weighs 1/3 of most cars, and it takes two persons."
Consumption-wise, the superbike provides the electric equivalent of about 250 mpg. So once the MonoTracer becomes widely available, it could be economical in terms of efficiency, all the while scoring you style points on the highway.
Check out this video in which a MonoTracer passes a Massachusetts TV reporter. A chase down and interview ensues:
The MonoTracer is the first fully enclosed electric motorcycle and is produced by Peraves, a PTC customer using PTC's design software.

I tried using the download link here a few days ago and it took me to IObit's web site with the same results. However I decided to try Cnet's link one more time and it took me to Techspot's download server where I was able to get the latest version(v1.2). Installed it and that seemed to do the trick.
Well here's the story: I was on this site when I read an article about some freebies. One was that IObit was offering a free one year activation of its professional (paid) version of Security 360. All went well at first. Downloaded, installed and got an email with the activation code. Was getting daily updates until recently when a pop up would say: New version of IObit Security 360 is available now. It's free. Download now? If I click on the yes box nothing happens. Funny thing is as far as I know I'm using the latest version(v1.10). Now it's not updating any new malware definition files. The same pop up just appears. I went to their web site to see if I could manually download the supposed new version but none of their download page links would work. This is not an isolated incident. A friend of mine tried the same offer and the same thing happened to him. I read about IObit getting into hot water because of allegedly stealing definition files from Malwarebytes. I wonder if that has got something to do with it. Has anyone else run into the same problem? If I can't resolve this issue I'll go back to using what I was, which was Spyware Terminator. Not a very good endorsement for their product is it?

The instructors are kind and caring, and they inspire him to work hard while having fun. Master Lee has taught our son the value of perseverance and the importance of respect for oneself, one's friends, and one's family.
