Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Evil Jesus
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Evil Jesus
A VFD save. With the amount of articles on the que, I figure if it needs a VFH nom it can sit on here for seven days unless someone really has a need to take on Evil Jesus, a damning experience on a good day. If you do wander by and pick this up, thanks, and no hurry in terms of 24 hour limit of somethin'. I guess I'm just interested if a Jesus article can get featured if it's put up, and will check how many have. Thanks.

- The page was created and nurtured by Zim, and at some point he took his eye off of it and the IP's moved in and carried it off. One of the things I did to save it was revert it back to a 2007 version, and then I wrote and edited and pics and edited and wrote. Darn IP's. So now it's a collab by Zim and myself. Still haven't found any Jesus articles which were featured, so it'd be fun to break the glass ceiling. Thanks again if you take this. Aleister 21:06 31 7

|So... huh. I dunno.
So what happens if one doesn't avoid them sources of exctoplasm? What does the Evil Jesus do? Is he still drunk?
I like how he's referred to as 'annoying at worst'.
Pity so few parables survived. It'd be funny to see more of this drunken instruction. Although I just noticed some phrases that got worked in that are rather good; taking things from the bible or some such... um, good. That.
|Well, what an odd... um... huh. Honestly, he just doesn't seem overly evil. Redneck evil, perhaps... but drunks are drunks. Is that evil? I mean, what is evil, even? Clichés aside, there be all sorts, and a drunkard is all rather... um... something.
You know?
Or is cruelty evil? I guess he is rather evil...
Anyhow, as Jesii go, I guess this one's okay... evil, after all. Decent concept, lends itself well to amusement... though it doesn't seem to really get into the dirty thieving whoring drunken guy ness that defines the majority of the article until after the beginning. It starts so... sane and vague, I guess. Or something. On the other hand, maybe that's a good thing. Or is it?
|Prose and formatting:
|Eh, mostly okay. Probably needs a proofreading, but I dunno how much was intentional. Problem is, it doesn't seem overly consistent. I mean, needinth?
|Poor Evil Jesus... doesn't even get all decently chopped images. Really, pixilatedness? Okay, so that's mostly just the first one... the rest, anyhow... not bad at all. Especially the captions. Except for the clown one. It seems so mundane...
And holy crap, that last image is animated... um... actually, that doesn't really change much. I normally wouldn't even have noticed, but firefox doesn't seem to have an option to turn that off. Anyhow, the gist of it seems to show either way, so whatever.
|Number! That's for what it seems to be to me, not for what it seems like it should be or would seem like to someone sane. Or something.
|Final Score:
|I'm not even going to say I hope this helps, though I do... it just doesn't seem very likely. I'ma instead say I hope this even makes some sense, say, more than a winged walrus lulling on a beach, and then run away screaming that the walri are coming, the walri are coming! Except they're not walri at all; they're just a drunk guy trying to steal my shinies and I'm too delirious to tell the difference... except maybe he turned into a walrus. Maybe... um... maybe...
Maybe I shouldn't try to review things when this out of it.
Okay, semi-sane comment: Cleanup for consistency and flow are most of what this needs. Better than most of the Jesii already... yeah.

8. Mars "Ray" Crater
Most young and small craters on Mars are not "sploshes" (slide #7) but look more like craters on the Moon. Like this unnamed crater, a bit west of Olympus Mons, the ejecta of small young craters makes many smaller craters and rays emanating from the center. The contrast between Mars' older "splosh" craters and younger "ray" craters (see also slide #31) suggests that Mars' crust has become drier over time. This change may have happened as Mars lost its water to space. Without water at its surface, Mars became the inhospitable desert we see today.

On one occasion a cobbler noticed a fault in the painting of a shoe, and remarking upon it to a person standing by, passed on. As soon as the man was out of sight Apelles came from his hiding-place, examined the painting, found that the cobbler's criticism was just, and at once corrected the error. ... The cobbler came by again and soon discovered that the fault he had pointed out had been remedied; and, emboldened by the success of his criticism, began to express his opinion pretty freely about the painting of the leg! This was too much for the patience of the artist, who rushed from his hiding place and told the cobbler to stick to his shoes.

The company has defended the performance hurdles proposed for Mr Gladstone by saying recent high growth achieved by the poker-machine maker might not be repeated. However, Institutional Shareholder Services has recommended that investors cast a protest vote against Ainsworth's remuneration report at its shareholder meeting later this month. The adviser has concerns about a separate resolution to grant performance share rights to Mr Gladstone.
Seventy per cent of Mr Gladstone's rights is tied to beating earnings per share hurdles that ISS executive director
The company has proposed a long-term incentive structure whereby Mr Gladstone's rights tied to EPS growth begin to vest if the company grows that measure at 8 per cent annually over three years. The proportion that would vest increases gradually up to a top target of 12.5 per cent annual EPS growth over three years.
Dr Chioatto said analysts expect Ainsworth to grow at 17 to 29 per cent annually over that period. "Even if [growth] is at the lowest point of the consensus that's still way under the stretch target," he said. In August the company gave guidance for net profit after-tax growth of 15 per cent for the first six months of 2013-14.
But in a briefing with ISS on October 30, an Ainsworth representative said the low EPS performance hurdles were due to "market consensus not taking into account recent high growth that was not repeatable", according to the proxy advisor's report.
Independent remuneration consultants
Ainsworth chief financial officer
Mr Ludski said the market consensus for the $1.4 billion company might not consider risks to growth, such as regulatory delays in the approval of new machines and an uncertain US economy. "There's significant growth opportunities to the company primarily in North America but we are still very dependent on regulatory restrictions," he said.
The company, founded by 90-year-old pokies king
A chunk of Mr Ainsworth's estimated $1.6 billion wealth is tied up in his 55 per cent shareholding of the eponymous company that he chairs.
Mr Ainsworth has lead the company since establishing it in 1995 as a competitor to Aristocrat Leisure, which he also started. But his position sits awkwardly with accepted corporate governance principles, Dr Chioatto said. "Having a chair that's so dominant can certainly be a problem," he said.
ISS has proposed a protest vote against Ainsworth's remuneration report because it suggested a vote against the resolution to grant Mr Gladstone's rights is worthless. Dr Chioatto said the resolution to grant rights, which will be voted on at Ainsworth's annual general meeting on November 20, was worded in a way that means if it is opposed the bonus will be delivered to the CEO in cash. "It's a false choice," Dr Chioatto said. "You're damned if you do, damned if you don't."

The marriage of Chloe, the daughter of Governor-General
"My advice to Her Excellency is that the marriage of her daughter to Mr Shorten gives rise to no constitutional or other legal impediment to the proper discharge of her functions of office," commonwealth solicitor-general
The advice was sought by Ms Bryce after media reports suggested a potential conflict.
Mr Gageler recognised that in "extraordinary circumstances" the Governor-General assumed the "profound responsibility" of having to make a "deliberative judgment" on who would form government but that fell "to be managed as a matter of prudence, not of legal obligation or legal impediment".
Mr Gageler's advice recognised that some previous governors-general "had significant prior political careers" (Paul Hasluck and Bill Hayden had both been cabinet ministers) and a number had "continuing personal relationships" with politicians.
The notion that the perception of a conflict of interest would constitutionally inhibit the Governor-General's ability to discharge her functions "finds no foothold in the structure or text of the constitution", he said
Australian Catholic University vice-chancellor Greg Craven said the advice was "completely predictable".
University of NSW academic George Williams said the advice "clears the Governor-General of any conflict that could impede the exercise by her of any of her powers or functions. It should be the end of the debate."

Christopher Hitchens Died (1949-2011)
Little known fact: He often enjoyed plotting to kill James Bond.
Prolific, controversial, firebrand, genius drunk Christopher Hitchens died this morning after a lengthy battle with esophageal cancer, according to Vanity Fair, a longtime source of his writing. While I didn't always agree with the man, specifically his cheerleading of the Iraq War, there was no denying his razor sharp wit and intellect, not to mention his incredible capacity to absorb scotch like it's goddamn oxygen:
He was a man of insatiable appetites—for cigarettes, for scotch, for company, for great writing, and, above all, for conversation. That he had an output to equal what he took in was the miracle in the man. You'd be hard-pressed to find a writer who could match the volume of exquisitely crafted columns, essays, articles, and books he produced over the past four decades. He wrote often—constantly, in fact, and right up to the end—and he wrote fast; frequently without the benefit of a second draft or even corrections. I can recall a lunch in 1991, when I was editing The New York Observer, and he and Aimée Bell, his longtime editor, and I got together for a quick bite at a restaurant on Madison, no longer there. Christopher's copy was due early that afternoon. Pre-lunch canisters of scotch were followed by a couple of glasses of wine during the meal and a similar quantity of post-meal cognac. That was just his intake. After stumbling back to the office, we set him up at a rickety table and with an old Olivetti, and in a symphony of clacking he produced a 1,000-word column of near perfection in under half an hour.
People often think I get shit-hammered drunk and write the site, but true story, if I have more than two beers there's a 95% chance I'll almost instantly be asleep on the couch with Storage Wars blaring in the background making me the complete and absolute antithesis of Christopher Hitchens unless he, too, was a reluctant fan of seeing people pretend to find the head of General Custer in an Irvine storage locker.
Rest in Peace, Hitch.

I'm 1 month post op of a B.A.I have 410 Cohesive Gel by Natrelle in moderate height/moderate projection. Sz 280grams.I was told this would give me about a cup and half. I was a 32A. I'm 5'2/116lbs.I am now aFULL 32D! Why are they so big? I was told this was a small implant? I tried to be so careful about evrythng. I am considering explanting. What to do? I am low on money now. I feel trapped/worse than I did prior to surgery. I am profoundly disappointed/embarrassed by the result.
I Was Suppose to Go From A Cup to B/C Cup, I'm Now a D Cup, How Did They Get so Big?

Implants Too Big 1 month post op of breast augmentation
You are still in the healing phase, and the swelling may be affecting the assessment. Due not try to assess for at least 6 months so you can fully heal. At that time, you can assess the results with your surgeon to determine if your objectives/goals have been met.
The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body. Consult in person with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your objectives.

I had breast augmentation a month ago and I find my breasts to be too big.
A to D cup after Breast Implants
Based on your body description, the 280cc implant seem like a good choice to go from an A to full B or small C cup. However, each bra manufacturer is somewhat different and there is no way of predicting final bra size. At 1 month after surgery, it is common to feel that the implants are too big. Don't consider having them removed just yet. Give it a few more months and most likely, you will be happy with the result.

Breast implant size
Breast implants too large
This is a matter to be resolved with your surgeon. More important than your cup size is how your new breasts fit into your overall appearance with and without clothing. Are the breasts proportionate with your body? Even if you believe they're too large, my advice is to allow further healing, and forget you have implants for a while. Get bras that fit, and clothing that help you feel beautiful. Make believe the breasts are yours, and you've always been that size. Many women have breasts larger than they want. Live with them for a while. If you really feel after a year or longer that you cannot continue with those prostheses, discuss possibilities with your surgeon, either replacement or removal.

Breast Augmentation and Size
It is almost impossible to say that a 280cc implant will increase your cup size 1 1/2 cup sizes. Personally, I never use the size of the implant to predict final cup size. Instead, I have the patient try the implants on and also use 3D imaging for simulation of the results. There is probably some swelling, and the implants still need to relax into position, so in time, the size may not look so big. You have to at least understand that it is possible that this is what the result is. If you still feel like the sixe is too big, you will need to talk to your surgeon about revisional surgery and implant exchange.
Breast Augmentation and Size
Thank you for the question.
Your experience confirms my strong feeling that there is no correlation between size of implant and final breast cup size. For example, I have had patients starting at a "A" cup, have 275 mL implants placed, and swear that they only fit in "D" cup bras.
Please understand that you are only one month out of surgery and that often it takes 3 to 6 months before patients adapt to the new body image. It would not be unusual if you are very pleased with the results of the surgery several months from now. Hopefully, you will not base your satisfaction with the operation on the resulting cup size only.
I would suggest that you be as patient as possible and follow up with your plastic surgeon regularly.
Best wishes.

How big is 280 grams
Your surgeons prediction is just about right, and for your size you probably will fill a 34-C cup just fine. The 280 gram implant is just about one and a half cups. When you size a 32 bra, the relative cup size may be a D rather than a C, though the volume of the breast is the same. Give yourself time to adjust to the new you.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Breast augmentation and size
At one month, you still may have al ot of swelling. I would give it a few more months, they may get a bit smaller. If you are still unhappy, then talk to your surgeon.

The Board of County Commissioners met at 3:00 p.m. with Matt Lafferty, Principal Planner. Chair Gibson presided and Commissioners Eubanks and Rennels were present. Also present were: Rob Helmick, Sean Wheeler, and Michael Whitley, Planning Department; Christie Coleman, Ed Woodward, and Eric Tracy, Engineering Department; Chad Gray, Code Enforcement; Doug Ryan, Environmental Health Department; Jennifer Stewart, Assistant County Attorney; and Gael Cookman, Deputy Clerk.
Chair Gibson opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and asked for public comment on the County Budget and Land Use Code. No one from the audience addressed the Board regarding these topics.
Mr. Wheeler requested that item number four, the Wilder-Nest Bed & Breakfast/Retreat Special Review and Appeal, be moved to the consent agenda, as Condition 2 - under B and C, has been met, and staff and the applicant are in agreement. Chair Gibson then explained that the following items were on consent and would not be discussed unless requested by the Board, staff, or members of the audience:
1. OVERHOLT MINOR SPECIAL REVIEW AND APPEAL, FILE #08-Z1697: This is a request for a Minor Special Review for a detached Accessory Living Area on approximately 4.94 acres. The request includes an appeal to increase the maximum limit of 800 square feet on attached Accessory Living Areas to 1000 square feet within an existing detached garage.
The applicants seek approval for a Minor Special Review to construct an Accessory Living Area in the upper level of an existing garage. The subject property is located on Lot 4 of the Highland Place Subdivision, further located at the north end of Livingston Lane off Turman Drive, approximately ¼ mile east of County Road #13 and south of Carpenter Road. The lot is approximately 4.94 acres in size. The request also includes an appeal to exceed the allowed maximum of 800 square feet for Accessory Living Areas, as the structure is complete and has 1000 square feet of space available for the use. There would be no physical alteration to the structure visible from the outside if the use and appeal are approved.
The Land Use Code states that accessory uses are intended to allow property owners the full use of their property, while maintaining the integrity and character of the neighborhood. To meet these goals, accessory uses and buildings must be erected and used only for purposes that are clearly secondary and incidental to the principal use of the property. They must be located on the same lot with the principal use as well. The Development Services Team concludes this request meets these standards, and supports the appeal to size restrictions in Section 4.3.10.F.1.d of the Land Use Code. Finally, no other individuals or agencies contacted Staff with objections or concerns about this request.
The Development Services Team Findings are as follows:
1. The proposed use will be compatible with existing and allowed uses in the surrounding area and be in harmony with the neighborhood. The detached guest quarters for use by family or friends and with no change to the existing structure visible from the outside, nor can the space be rented to non-friends and family.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the County Master Plan, as it will not change the character of the single family residential property nor is it expected to impact surrounding residents.
3. Based on the application materials, there are no known or evident conflicts with the requirements of the Land Use Code.
4. The proposed use is not anticipated to have any impacts on other property in the vicinity of the applicants residence.
5. The recommendations of referral agencies have been considered as noted throughout this report.
6. Approval of the appeal will not subvert the purpose of the standard or requirement, as the unfinished space exists and there is no public benefit to be derived by denial of the request.
7. Approval of the appeal will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or property values in the neighborhood.
8. Approval of the appeal is the minimum action necessary. The request to exceed the space requirement and allow 1000 square feet for the accessory living area will not need any subsequent approvals by the County, other than meeting building permit requirements for finishing the interior space.
9. Approval of the appeal will not result in increased costs to the general public. Approval of the request will not result in any measurable cost to the general public.
10. Approval of the appeal is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Code, as the applicants will use existing space for the additional square footage and there will be no change to the outward appearance of the structure.
The Development Services Team recommends Approval of the Overholt Minor Special Review and Appeal, subject to the following conditions:
1. The Site shall be developed consistent with the approved plan and with the information contained in the Overholt Minor Special Review (File #08-Z1697), except as modified by the conditions of approval or agreement of the County and applicant. The applicant shall be subject to all other verbal or written representations and commitments of record for the Overholt Minor Special Review.
2. This application is approved without the requirement for a Development Agreement. In the event the applicant fails to comply with any conditions of approval or otherwise fails to use the property consistent with the approved Minor Special Review, applicant agrees that in addition to all other remedies available to County, County may withhold building permits, issue a written notice to applicant to appear and show cause why the Minor Special Review approval should not be revoked, and/or bring a court action for enforcement of the terms of the Minor Special Review. All remedies are cumulative and the Countys election to use one shall not preclude use of another. In the event County must retain legal counsel and/or pursue a court action to enforce the terms of this Minor Special Review approval, applicant agrees to pay all expenses incurred by County including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees. County may conduct periodic inspections to the property and reviews of the status of the Minor Special Review as appropriate to monitor and enforce the terms of the Minor Special Review approval.
3. The Findings and Resolution shall be a servitude running with the Property. Those owners of the Property or any portion of the Property who obtain title subsequent to the date of recording of the Findings and Resolution, their heirs, successors, assigns or transferees, and persons holding under applicants shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Special Review approval.
4. The applicant shall obtain any outstanding building permits for residential additions and pay all applicable fees (including permit and the Transportation Capital Expansion Fee), no later than December 14, 2008.
5. The habitable space of the current structure shall not exceed 1000 square feet.
6. The applicant shall sign a Disclosure Notice no later than December 14, 2008, to advise potential lot buyers of the restrictions placed on the Accessory Dwelling Unit.
2. CAMPION INDUSTRIAL PARK CONDOMINIUM MAP, FILE #07-S2759: This is a request for approval of the Campion Industrial Park Condominium Map to create a total of 15 condominium units with common elements.
The subject condominium application proposes to create 15 condominium units from the existing buildings situated on the north side of County road 14, approximately ½ mile west of Highway 287. The buildings on the subject property were historically used as a broom manufacturing facility, but for many years other uses have moved into the buildings, without County approvals, and now the majority of buildings are occupied by separate uses. To resolve this issue the applicant has submitted a condominium plat to define ownership spaces in the buildings so that areas can be legally sold or leased. Additionally, the property owners have defined common elements such as parking and landscape areas that will govern by an association overseeing the property management and use. The purpose for the subject request is to allow for separate ownership and use of the units within the existing buildings.
A condominium application requires the applicant to submit a condominium plat illustrating all the common elements such as parking and open areas, as well as the Condominium Declarations, disclosing the maintenance responsibility and use of property around and common to the condominium units. These required items have been submitted to the Planning Department for review and processing. The review of the submitted material reveals appropriate documentation of the common elements and adequately describes and assigns maintenance responsibility of the property.
Parking areas, landscape areas and the buildings for this development site are in place and are properly noted in the Condominium Declarations as common elements that are to be maintained by the property owners association.
The property being reviewed for this action is zoned I (industrial) and the uses on the property are consistent with this zone district. Additionally access, parking and other similar site features already exist on the property and will not be changed or altered by this action. All utilities serving this site are in place and functional.
The development of the subject site was reviewed and approved by the Development Services Team as a Site Plan application, and inspected for completion of the improvements outline in the site plan approval. To date all on-site and off-site improvements are complete. Additionally, the Development Services Team has reviewed the Condominium Map application and finds that the submittal materials have been provided and address all concerns regarding the application.
Staff findings are as follows:
1. The proposed Campion Industrial Park Condominium Map and declarations are in compliance with the Larimer County Master Plan and Land Use Code.
2. The proposed Campion Industrial Park Condominium Map is compatible with the other development in the surrounding area.
3. Approval of the Campion Industrial Park Condominium Map will not result in any significant impacts to the neighboring properties, the natural environment, or the provision of services and infrastructure.
4. Property values in the surrounding area would not be adversely affected by the approval of the Campion Industrial Park Condominiums Map.
5. Maintenance of the buildings, parking lots, landscaping and other common areas will be the responsibility of the property owners association, pursuant to the Condominium Declaration and By-laws of the Campion Industrial Park Condominium Association.
The Development Services Team recommends approval of the Campion Industrial Park Condominium Map with authorization for the Chairman to sign the plat when the conditions are met and the plat is presented for signature.
4. WILDER-NEST BED & BREAKFAST/RETREAT SPECIAL REVIEW AND APPEAL, FILE #07-Z1638: The applicant seeks Special Review approval to operate a Retreat at a single family residence on an 88-acre site in the Masonville area. The Retreat will provide Equine Assisted Psycho Therapy and counseling services. There is an existing single family home with five bedrooms that will provide lodging. The applicants project description indicates that up to nine guests will be allowed to stay at the retreat at any one time to include both adults and children. Individuals receiving therapy will be able to stay on site or come to the site and leave once the session is complete. She would also like to offer accommodations to businesses or other small groups needing meeting space with overnight lodging as well. The uses are not intended to overlap, as the equine therapy is expected to be conducted during the week, while workshops, etc. would be held over the weekends. Other proposed uses include horse boarding that also requires Special Review approval. The horse boarding service would be offered to retreat guests only.
The project materials indicate the applicant would also like approval to hold weddings with 25 or fewer people at the site from May through October. The scheduling of wedding events would not be done at the same time as weekend retreats for small groups. No on-site food preparation would be offered. As a matter of process, the Land Use Code classifies wedding venues as requiring Special Exception approval vs. Special Review. Both reviews are combined in this report, as most of the issues and comments are the same for each use. Given its size the property should have sufficient space to accommodate parking needs for all of the proposed uses. Access to the property is off of CR#25E onto a circular drive. One other point of clarification is that the use must be approved as a Retreat vs. a Bed and Breakfast. The reason is that a B&B requires the owner or an employee live on site, which is not what the applicant intends. In this case the applicant lives a short distance north of the subject property. Retreats also require there be a specific service or amenity provided on site such as the equine therapy or an office group conference space. In addition, approval of a Retreat does not allow the applicant to rent any of the rooms to individuals not seeking therapy or holding conferences, small group meeting, etc. In other words, there must be a specific event happening on site for guests to stay there.
The provision of water for the different uses generated a considerable level of discussion between the applicant, Staff and State authorities. The question of how the applicant will provide water for the uses has not been resolved at the writing of this report. Normally the request would not be scheduled for a public hearing without this issue being addressed.
However, the applicant requested to be on the agenda as soon as possible and is anxious to move forward. Staff has advised the applicant that business operations can not start until the water issues are resolved. At a minimum, the unregistered domestic well on site must be converted to a Commercial Exempt Well Permit through the State Division of Water Resources. That type of permit is needed to operate the Retreat. In order to offer horse boarding as well, the applicant must get an Augmentation Plan approved through the State Water Court, as the limitations placed on the Commercial Exempt Well Permit will not allow for both livestock watering and the business use. Overall, Staff supports the request. If the Planning Commission is in favor of supporting approval as well, the applicant should begin the State process for converting the well permit. Staff recommends that the applicant obtain the Commercial Exempt Well Permit before the Board of County Commissioners grants approval for the use, and asks the Planning Commission make a separate motion to support this requirement.
The applicant held the required neighborhood meeting on September 27, 2007. Questions focused on the general uses proposed, impacts on surrounding properties, horse boarding, the difference between a Retreat and Bed & Breakfast. Based on the neighborhood meeting minutes, it must be stressed that approval of the Special Review and / or the Special Exception uses do not include a Bed and Breakfast operation, only a Retreat. If couples, parents and children or families, etc. are coming to the site it must be specifically for study or instruction offered on site (which includes therapy or small group meetings). Also, those associated with wedding parties can also use the Retreat Dwelling. Unless specifically granted, the approvals would not allow rental of rooms to individuals, families, spouses, etc. simply as a rural get away or vacation destination, because a Bed and Breakfast use would require the applicant or an employee live on site. Horse boarding is also not allowed without a State Approved Water Augmentation plan.
The Development Services Team supports conditional approval of the Wilder Nest Retreat Special Review and Wedding Venue Special Exception based on the following:
1. Provided the applicant complies with the recommended conditions of approval, the proposed use will be compatible with existing and allowed uses in the surrounding area and be in harmony with the neighborhood.
2. Through the application of conditions of approval the proposed can be consistent with the goals of the County Master Plan.
3. Based on the request described the proposed use will not result in a substantial adverse impact on property in the vicinity of the subject property, so long as the applicant can comply with the conditions of approval.
4. The recommendations of referral agencies have been considered and applied as necessary in the recommended conditions of approval.
5. This project can and will comply with all applicable requirements of this code, if the applicant complies with the conditions of approval.

Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve the consent agenda, as presented and amended above.
Motion carried 3-0.
3. MOKLER ZONING VIOLATION, FILE #08-CC0011: The property owners are in violation of the Larimer County Land Use Code by operating an RV storage without County approval. They are storing RVs in a FEMA designated floodway. The owner is also in violation of Section 10, Sign Code, of the Larimer County Land Use Code for placing a sign on the property without obtaining a sign permit. This property is located on Mulberry just East of I-25 on the North side of the road.
The RV storage started operating around 1995-96. Mr. Mokler came in to the Planning Department in 1995 to discuss opening an RV campground to be open from March through November. In 1996 Mr. Mokler came in again to discuss a review for a PUD for 3 lots to allow industrial zoning for storage buildings with RV storage and a lot for a residential zoning use. Although applications were submitted in 2000, they were not pursued. The RVs being stored on this property are located in a FEMA designated floodway of the Boxelder flood plain. Two complaints have been received since the beginning of 2008. After the complaints were received, Mr. Mokler considered a possible application by has not pursued this to date.
Notice of this hearing was mailed via certified and regular mail to the owners. Staff has talked with the owner of the property to advise what steps need to be taken to reach compliance with County regulations. The owner has taken no further steps with the Larimer County Planning Department to resolve the outstanding violations to date. After speaking with the owner, Mr. Mokler asked for this hearing to be set up. See the Code Compliance events attached.
The RV storage has been operating for 11 plus years since their initial inquiry with the Planning Department. The RVs being stored on this property in the Boxelder Floodway pose a threat of floating away and obstructing the flow of water if a flood occurs which can cause more damage to all properties along the flood plain. This sends the message to neighboring property owners that the county cannot enforce its Land Use Code. Also, the Larimer County Sign Code was enacted, in part, to avoid clutter and protect and maintain the visual appearance and property values in the County.
Staff findings are as follows:
1. The property is zoned C-Commercial.
2. Site Plan approval is necessary for this property.
3. Commercial Signs require a sign permit.
4. The property is in a FEMA floodway.
Staff Recommends that the Board of County Commissioners find that a violation does exist and require compliance with Larimer County Land Use Code within 30 days and authorize legal action if the deadline is not met. The following items must be completed in order to reach compliance with the Larimer County Land Use Code: Remove all outside storage of recreational vehicles and all other outside storage associated with the business within 30 days. The sign associated with this business must also be removed within 30 days.
Mr. Gray explained the violation as outlined above. Property owner James Mokler addressed the Board and stated that the business has been in existence since 1991, and he acquired the property in 1995. Mr. Mokler stated that they have approximately 100 tenants, and another 20 people on a waiting list. He stated that there is a great need for RV storage in the area, but they have not added any tenants since they received the letter notifying them of the zoning violation. Mr. Mokler presented photos of the site and stated that he would be happy to submit an application to address the outdoor storage; however, the bigger issue is that the property is located within the flood plain.
Chair Gibson opened up the hearing for public comment and Greg Hager, Mike Biggerstaff, Jim Davis, Glenn Goff, and Barbara Trebarton all stated that they were in favor of the operations and that RV storage was necessary, although Ms. Trebarton recommended more fencing to screen the site should it continue to exist.
Much discussion ensued regarding the flood plain issue and how Mr. Mokler might address it with the Flood Review Board. Mr. Mokler stated that he has learned more about flood plain remedies than he had ever hoped to, and the flood plain issue will not be resolved as there is no way to channel the amount of water they predict in the area. He stated that it would not make any sense to spend all that money to keep this small business alive.
The Board understood and agreed with Mr. Mokler.
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners find that a violation exists and authorize legal action if the owner does not come into compliance with the Land Use Code by: 1. Removing all outside storage of recreational vehicles and all other outside storage associated with the business within 365 days; and 2. Removing the sign within 30 days. However, should some ability to mitigate the flood plain issues be discovered, then the Board would consider hearing this item again.
Motion carried 3-0.
5. STEGNER PIT NIGHT HAUL AMENDMENT, FILE #08-Z1700: This is a request by Aggregate Industries for temporary permission to load and haul from the site between the hours of 7 pm to 5 am to accommodate a CDOT contract.
The Stegner Pit was originally approved by the Board of County Commissioners in mid 1999 as a gravel pit. One of the conditions of the approval was an average traffic count of 100 trips per day haul from the site 90% of the trips going north on Taft Hill Road to CR 54G. It has hours of operation similar to most pits in this area. The operator has also permitted the Timberline pit on the north side of the La Porte Community, however, operations at the Timberline pit cannot commence until the Stegner pit is completed. The haul conditions on the Stegner pit have been modified previously for another temporary operation. This occurred when the operator was awarded contracts for work on the dams at Horsetooth Reservoir. This was also temporary and related to a specific contract.
The operator has been awarded several contracts from CDOT to conduct construction/repair work on I-25, as referenced in their application materials. Due to the nature of the contracts the applicant must do the work at night, from 8 pm to 5 am. The applicant proposes to commence operation at the site at approximately 7 pm and haul from the site between the hours of 8 pm and 5 am. This would entail 30-40 round trip hauls per night. This will not change the original approval by adding traffic but will replace a portion of the total traffic approved for the site.
A neighborhood meeting was held by the operator on June 30, 2008 and the initial comments from that meeting indicate that while there are some concerns regarding impacts, removing material which would facilitate completing the mining at this site is supported by the neighbors.
The Development Services Team recommends Approval of the Stegner Pit night haul Amendment, File # 08-Z1700, subject to the following condition(s):
1. All equipment operated in the pit shall be equipped with an operating white noise back up beeper system. The systems shall be maintained and operating at all times.
2. The traffic pattern for load out operations shall be designed to insure that access, holding, load out and exiting will occur with a minimum of back ups and to avoid impacts to adjoining properties. This may include the placement of berms or stockpiles.
3. Any stationary lighting on the site shall be design to comply with the requirements of Section 8.15 of the Larimer County Land Use Code. Specifically, avoiding light trespass.
4. All operations shall comply with the requirements of the Larimer County Noise Ordinance.
5. Air quality permits shall be maintained and on site dust suppression in the load out areas shall insure that dust emissions are minimized.
6. This approval shall be only for the uses described and operated consistent with the representations of the operator/applicant in their letter of June 12, 2008, and as modified by these conditions of approval. No further extension of this approval beyond the three contracts noted in the application materials shall be allowed.
7. Traffic from the Stegner Pit shall remain compliant with the original approvals.
8. All other conditions of approval for the Stegner Pit file # 98-Z1281 shall remain in force and effect except as specifically modified by this approval.
Mr. Helmick explained the application as outlined above, noting that the contract is anticipated to run through September 2008. Mr. Helmick stated that the applicant held a neighborhood meeting, and there has been no opposition voiced by the surrounding neighbors.
Connie Davis and Mike Reffer explained that the CDOT contract is specific in that they want the project completed by September 2008; however, there is a shortage of material to make the asphalt, so that could cause a delay. Ms. Stewart asked if time extensions are addressed as part of the initial contract. Ms. Davis confirmed that if a time extension is necessary, it would not require a new contract to be executed
There was no public comment on this item.
Commissioner Eubanks moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Stegner Pit night haul Amendment, File # 08-Z1700, subject to the condition(s) as outlined above.
Motion carried 3-0.
The hearing ended at 4:15 p.m., with no further action taken.

Ms. Rollins requested $5,000 in funding from the Board of County Commissioners, to be used in partnership with contributions from the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University, to cover the cost of the workshop estimated to total ranging from $14,000 to $15,000.
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners contribute $5,000, from the Commissioners Special Projects Fund, in partnership with the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University to contract with the Center for Whole Communities for a workshop on November 12, 2008 through November 14, 2008, and authorize Neil Gluckman, Assistant County Manager to sign the contract.
Motion carried 3-0.
6.

They have narrowed their options to three possibilities and will continue to assess each of the three until they have reached a conclusion on the best possible route. The presentation was followed by a brief discussion pertaining to the cost of paving the roadway, when chosen, versus the cost of allowing the roads to remain as they are at present. There was no requested action attributed to this matter, the presentation was meant to be strictly informative.
7. WEB CONTENT AND INTERNET USAGE POLICY: Mr. Paratore resubmitted an updated version of the Web Content and Internet Usage Policy to the Board of Commissioners for approval. The only change to the previous version of the policy being that it will pertain only to County funded externally facing websites and not internal pages such as the bulletin board. In addressing a concern stemming from previous versions, Mr. Paratore assured the Board that all offices, divisions, and departments are able to utilize two way communications such as blogs. A brief discussion of whom should be entrusted with monitoring and enforcing the policy ensued at which point the commissioners agreed that the duty should be assigned to Deni LaRue, Community Information Officer.
Commissioner Eubanks moved to approve the Web Content and Internet Usage Policy 340.3C.
Motion carried 3-0.

9. COMMISSIONER ACTIVITY REPORTS: The Board noted their attendance at events during the past week.
10. LEGAL MATTERS: There were no legal matters to discuss today.

The Board of County Commissioners met at 2:00 p.m. for an Abatement Hearing. Chair Gibson presided and Commissioner Rennels and Eubanks were present. Also present were: Davin Stephens, Assessors Office; Gloria Jean Roder, Petitioner; and Tamara Slusher, Melissa Lohry, and Gael Cookman, Deputy Clerks.
ABATEMENT HEARING FOR GLORIA JEAN RODER - PARCEL NUMBER 98180-00-048: Mr. Stephens explained that this was a continuation of the Abatement Hearing for Gloria Jean Roder, as Ms. Roder had presented comparables at the last hearing, and the Board directed Mr. Stephens to work with Ms. Roders comparables. Mr. Stephens stated that he had in fact only used Ms. Roders comparables, and also did not appraise the new large detached finished garage and storage space; therefore, he arrived at a recommended value of $281,000; instead of the value of the original proposed value of $302,000.
Ms. Roder explained that she tried to get a loan on the home five years ago, and the appraiser placed the value of the home at $150,000. She explained that the homes and area are all very different and that there is no structure to the area.
The Commissioners agreed that $281,000 was a fair value to place on the home, especially considering that the detached garage was not included in the value.
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners accept the Assessors recommendation for Parcel Number 98180-00-048, and set the value at $281,000.
Motion carried 3-0.
The hearing adjourned at 2:30 p.m.
Gael M. Cookman, Deputy Clerk

Hi, first of all, sorry about my bad english :(
The last month my ISP has started to have some problems, the modem looses the signal almost three or
four times a day, and it takes between 15 and 30 minutes to go online again. When this happens, once
the modem it's online again, i have to manually release and renew ip from m0n0wall web interface, or
wait to m0n0wall sends a dhcprequest, that means a couple of hours. It isn't a big problem whem I am
here, but when I'm not, my servers remains offline a couple of ours...
The cuestion is, is there any way to modify the time between dhcprequest to my ISP?
I can see this on the logs page:

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (Aug. 27)
As the Security Council was set to reconvene here tomorrow on Israel's charge of aggression against Syria–and the Damascus Government's counter-grievance against Israel–observers here saw strong possibilities today that the United Nations may condemn Syria of aggression. If such censure should be voted, it would be the first time in 12 years that any UN body had voted a rebuke against any Arab state. The last time such censure was voted was on September 1, 1951, when the Council criticized Egypt for barring the Suez Canal to Israeli shipping, ordering the Cairo Government to desist from such further discrimination against Israel.
It was emphasized here, however, that a more definite indication of the nature of the Council's forthcoming attitude would be given tomorrow, when the United States take the floor in the debate in the Council's resumed session. The U.S.A. is on the list of tomorrow morning's speakers, along with Morocco and the Philippine Islands representatives.
The American stand, it was noted, could be decisive. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, was seen as possibly taking an off-hands position, perhaps abstaining on a vote for censuring Syria, in view of the current differences between Moscow and Damascus. Further, the possibility was not ruled out that the U.S.A. might even risk incurring a Soviet veto on this issue.
That was the situation here today following the Council's receipt last night of an on-the spot report from Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, chief of staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, detailing his and his staff's investigations and actions along the Syrian-Israeli border. The report was seen as (a) confirming in every detail Israel's charge that Syrian soldiers murdered two young Israeli farmers in the Almagor sector near the border on August 19; (b) failing totally to back up Syria's charges, on which it has based its current anti-Israeli complaint.
Syria charges that Israel concentrated troops and used 15 tanks in the zone near its northern frontier closed to such armor. There is not a single word in the Bull report to support that allegation. On the other hand, the report shows clearly that of 60 or 70 shooting exchanges on the Syrian-Israeli border recently, Syria opened fire first except in two or three instances.
With the Bull report thus spelling out the facts regarding the claims by both Israel and Syria, Israel today mounted a vigorous, high-power drive to see to it that the members of the Council and the top echelons of the UN Secretariat read the Bull report with the care already given it by Israel–and act accordingly by agreeing to condemn Syria.
Michael S. Comay, Israel's permanent representative here, initiated a fast series of high-level diplomatic conferences today to press home Israel's claims against Syria and its support by the facts in the Bull report. In quick succession he met with the ranking representatives of France, the United States and Britain; conferred with the Ghanaian and Venezuelan delegations; talked with Norway's Sivert A. Nielsen, who plays a double role as his country's representative and as this month's president of the Security Council; and had another session with Secretary-General U Thant.
Mr. Comay's conferences today constituted the second round of his vigorous activities since he returned from a vacation in Israel last week. Prior to last Friday's opening session of the Security Council on the current Syrian-Israeli conflict, he had met with every Council representative, including the Russians, and excluding only Morocco which does not recognize Israel.
As of today just on the eve of the Council's resumption of debate, the reactions by diplomats representing member states on the Council were still cautious. Generally, they seemed to be sympathetic to Israel's claims, cool to Syria's counter-allegations. But they were still reserving judgment. Much depends on how the United States will interpret the Bull report–and how it will act, either directly through a U.S. -sponsored resolution or through a resolution possibly sponsored by some other Council member friendly to the U.S. viewpoint.
In any event, there was a feeling here that, already, both on the diplomatic level and through press and public reactions, Israel has registered a definite breakthrough by its complaint against Syria and the backing of Israel's facts in the Bull report. The possibility is entertained that, to help the Arab states save face, some resolution might be put through without outright use of such harsh language as "condemn" or "censure." Other, milder language, might be used–but terminology meaning the same thing would be just as effective from the viewpoint of Israel's many friends here.
It was also felt quite certain here that the Syrian-Israel debate would be concluded this week. Council president Nielsen is anxious to have the Council complete the Syrian-Israeli debate by Friday or Saturday at the latest. Mr. Nielsen is going to try hard to see to it that the debate and whatever action the council may take does not face the interruption of a long Labor Day long weekend.

Of course so long as a stop acts, preventing precession, the roll of the ship proceeds as if the gyrostat wheel were not rotating.
Now close observation will give you a simple rule about the behaviour of a gyrostat.
In the theoretical discussion of the general motion General motion of a gyrostat rolling on a plane.
Here is a gyrostat (Fig. 23) something like the earth in shape, and it is at rest.
The principle of the action is very visible in this gyrostat suspended as the bob of a pendulum (Fig. 57).
It is not precessing, so you know that the weight W just balances the gyrostat F.
But now remove the gyrostat from the frame, and set the wheel in rotation.
Figure 15 shows one form of gyrostat mounted on a horizontal frame, held in the hands of an experimenter.
There is, however, a great difference between the earth and the gyrostat.
The gyrostat is now replaced on its pivots in the frame, with its axis vertical, and moved about as it was before.

Desperate Manly turn to Hoppa
Page Tools
John Hopoate ... troubled career.
Manly will offer John Hopoate the chance to resurrect his troubled career if the former international can convince coach Des Hasler he is the man to revive the Sea Eagles' season.
With Hopoate's 17-match suspension for striking teenage Cronulla forward Keith Galloway due to expire after this weekend's match against North Queensland, Manly officials are considering overturning the 31-year-old winger's sacking for the remainder of the season.
Hasler has discussed the possibility of recalling Hopoate with Sea Eagles chief executive Pat Wilson and talks also have been held with the NRL, who must register his new contract.
The issue is expected to be debated at Manly's next board meeting but the club's major sponsor and majority shareholder, Max Delmege, said the final decision would ultimately be made by Hasler.
"If my coach, Des Hasler, who I consider to know much more about football than myself or any other board member, was to insist that John Hopoate would be advantageous to the team going forward then that is something that would have to be considered by the board of directors," Delmege said.
"I'm quite sure that if Des really thought that John could add the spark to Manly that the team had at the beginning of the season and midway through the season, then he would say something and we would certainly have to listen."
After being near the top of the premiership ladder for most the season, the Sea Eagles slipped out of the top four two weeks ago after being beaten by St George Illawarra and are now eighth following five losses from their past six matches.
In a bid to arrest the dramatic form slump, Hasler gave his players four days off last week and yesterday surprised them by taking the team into camp on the Central Coast ahead of Sunday's match against North Queensland.
The players were given a brief itinerary but few other details of the two-day camp, with Hasler hand-picking roommates according to position.
"Des plays his cards close to his chest and he is away in camp with the guys doing what he's got to do but I'm quite sure I will speak to him [regarding Hopoate] when he gets back," Delmege said.
Meanwhile, former Newcastle grand final hero Darren Albert
is set to gain a release from St Helens to join Cronulla next season in a move that involves Warriors winger Francis Meli going to the English club.
St Helens chairman Eamon McManus is on his way home from Australia to finalise details of the release and it's under-stood that coach Daniel Anderson has given his blessing to Albert's return to the NRL.
However, it is unclear whether the deal will proceed if Meli takes up an offer from rival Super League club Warrington, who last night weighed in with a more lucrative bid.
Meli, 26, has asked for a release from the final year of his contract with the Warriors, and the Auckland-based club won't stand in his way once he determines for which club he wants to play as rookie sensations Manu Vatuvei, Cooper Vuna and Toshio Laiseni are coming through the ranks and Tony Martin is due to return from a back injury next season.
After four seasons in England, Albert - best known for his match-winning try on full-time in the Knights' 1997 grand final win over Manly - is keen to return home and has negotiated a two-year deal with Cronulla.
Having scored 60 tries in 96 appearances for St Helens, the Sharks view him as an ideal replacement for the departing David Peachey and Nathan Merritt.
In other news, utility Owen Craigie is returning to Australia after being given a release by relegation-bound Widnes.
The club agreed to release Craigie after a knee operation last week revealed career-threatening damage.

Why is this happening? Sales taxes were first created in the 1930s as an emergency measure, and they applied only to the purchase of goods because that's what our economy was back then. Today, the vast majority of our economy is service-based: housing, health care, legal services, accounting services, haircuts, child care, and so forth. Sales taxes haven't kept up, so their base declines as a share of the economy.
Cara Griffith, Fighting the Fight Against a Local Use Tax in Illinois (Tax Analys Blog):
The tax took effect on April 1 and was expected to raise about $13.8 million in revenue. The tax was designed to encourage county residents to purchase from local businesses. Many businesses in Cook County purchase goods outside the county to avoid the county's already high sales tax rate.
But there are two problems with the tax: it treats Cook County-based businesses and individuals differently than those outside the county and the county doesn't have the legal authority to impose the tax. Not surprisingly, a lawsuit quickly ensued.
Maybe they can talk to Des Moines about what happens when you impose an illegal tax.

Chef Martin McNair has cooked on tour for the likes of the Rolling Stones and worked in Michelin-starred restaurants. These days he owns his own catering firm in Greenhithe, A Question of Thyme.
This month, his seasonal picks are asparagus, Jersey Royal spuds and lovely lamb.
With the weather getting warmer, May sees a wealth of great British produce for us to enjoy.
Without doubt the king of the show is British asparagus.
With its season lasting a few weeks it is best eaten soon after it's picked. It is great steamed , served with melted butter, or as 'soldiers' for a soft boiled egg and is wonderful paired with herbs and rocket in pasta dishes. Go to your local farmers' market to get the freshest available.
The Jersey Royal potato has great earthy flavour, which is down to the island's unique soil which is treated with seaweed.
Roast them in olive oil sea salt and thyme with a dip of garlic mayonnaise for a tasty party snack. Simply boiled with a few sprigs of mint is, for me, the best way to serve them.
New season Spring lamb, a natural pairing with Jersey Royals, has a wonderfully tender texture and delicate flavour. Joints such as shoulder or leg are fantastic slow roasted with lemon, rosemary, and garlic or North African spices such as sumac and cumin.

What does the Indiana Health Exchange Individual Mandate Mean?
An individual in Indiana not offered coverage from a group medical plan must purchase minimum essential coverage from the federal Indiana health exchange or from a private exchange effective 1-1-2014 to avoid a tax penalty. This mandate and exchange does not apply to those eligible for Medicare. Initially you will choose between a Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze plan through the exchange or a qualified metal level private medical plan. All health exchange plans will be guaranteed issue with no health status rating including all essential medial benefits.
The Affordability Care Act (ACA) mandates that you purchase health insurance that complies with the new Affordable Care Act. The open enrollment period for 2015 coverage is November 15, 2014 through February 15, 2015. If you choose to be uninsured in 2015 you will received a tax penalty that is 2% of your household income or $325 per person. If you're uninsured for just part of the year, 1/12 of the yearly penalty applies to each month you're uninsured. If you're uninsured for less than 3 months, you don't have to make a payment.
We will help facilitate your enrollment into a qualified plan, assist with your application for credits and subsidies, as well as work with the small group employers looking for from the shop exchange.
Additional guidance will continued to be provided by Health and Human Services throughout 2013 and beyond. Indiana Insurance Group will continue to provide you with the necessary information as it changes and plans develop.
10 Essential Benefits Being Added to the Indiana Health Exchange Plans
The 10 new essential benefits added to the Indiana health exchange will be; Ambulatory patient services, Emergency services, Hospitalization, Maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment, prescription drugs, rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices, laboratory services, preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management and pediatric services, including oral and vision care.
Our Specialty is Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
IIG is a licensed certified Agency that will help facilitate the individual Indiana health insurance exchange. We can also help with the necessary dental or vision plans to ensure you have full coverage. Our expertise will show how to best navigate the exchange products, inform you on changes of the marketplace as well as help you choose the best product for your specific needs.
What is the Role of an Indiana Insurance Exchange Navigator?
Currently under PPACA, state exchanges will be required to award grants to navigators who will perform the following roles:
*Conduct public education activities to raise awareness of the availability of qualified medical plans;
*Distribute fair and impartial information concerning enrollment in qualified health plans, and the availability of premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions in accordance with federal tax laws;
*Facilitate enrollment in qualified health plans;
*Provide referrals to any applicable office of health insurance consumer assistant or health insurance ombudsman, or any other appropriate state agency or agencies, for any enrollee with a grievance, complaint, or question regarding their health plan, coverage, or a determination under such plan or coverage;
*Provide information in a manner that is culturally and linguistically appropriate.
Navigators will likely be comprised of representatives of trade associations, business associations, and other community-based organizations; they also may be brokers. However, PPACA prohibits navigators from accepting remuneration from an insurer. The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) is charged with establishing standards for navigators.

A TEENAGER who is battling a rare cancer is being supported in her fight by young people at her old primary school.
Emma Moss, from Blackrod, was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma last April after developing a lump on her arm.
The Rivington and Blackrod High School pupil, aged 13, has been undergoing courses of gruelling chemotherapy which keeps her in the Manchester Royal Children's Hospital for nearly a week at a time.
Emma, who was able to spend Christmas at home with her family after fears she would be hospital, went back to her old school to say 'thank you' after Blackrod Church Primary staged a fundraising concert for her.
The teenager, who has a brother Josh, aged 18, said: "I got a laptop for Christmas and was happy that I was able to be at home. I am feeling okay."
Mum Tracey said: "She has been very strong and brave throughout the treatment, which can be tough. She was really happy to be home for Christmas."
The primary school's concert raised funds to help towards travel costs and other expenses.
Special guest was singer-songwriter Beth Tomlin, another former pupil who has just produced and released her first CD, Home.
Beth, aged 17, is an A-level student at Winstanley College. She was under the care of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital from being a baby until the age of seven after being born with a superficial haemangioma — a birthmark which grew and caused her ear canal to collapse.
Beth, from Blackrod, said: "It is important for me to support young people with health conditions and charities for young people because I also received treatment when I was younger."
The school donated £336 to Emma, who went back to school with her family, to say 'thank you'. She said: "I did enjoy the concert and it is nice that I am being supported."
Mum Tracey added: "This will make such a difference. It means a lot to know we are being supported by the community, and other organisations."
Headteacher James Royal said: "I am really proud of the fact we look out for each other and help each other when we can."

I left work early yesterday because when I wiped I noticed there was blood on the toilet paper. I immediately called my OB's office, which told me to report to the ER. (I won't even go into details about my visit overall, but it was the worst ER experience I've ever had and the NP reduced me to tears.) They did an ultrasound during which time the tech turned the monitor so I could see at the end and I saw the baby. It looked like a snowman!
Anyways, after everything was done, the NP told me I had a chloreatric (sp) bleed most likely related to progesterone. They drew blood and I will be finding out my progesterone levels from the OB this morning.
Has anyone ever gone through this? I can't find any information on it other than miscarriage, but my hcg levels are good and the OB doesn't seem concerned, even though she will probably want me to start the progesterone shots again on top of the oral progesterone. The baby is actually measuring ahead now. So, I'm trying to be optimistic.
Charlize, married to DH 4/12/04. Mom to DD1 (4/2005) , DD2 (3/2007) , and DD3 (10/2009) , and DD4 (6/2011) .
I don't know too much about it, but maybe it's a subchorionic hemorrhage? If so, my understanding is that they are pretty common, and do increase your chance of miscarriage, but not by a whole lot.
If that's not what it is, I guess I can't help.
I asked the NP that and she said no, they were unrelated. I had a SCH with DD2 and carried her until the day of my scheduled c-section with no problems.
The hospital tested my blood last night for the wrong labs, so all those sticks were for nothing in the end. My OB's office is livid. So, I went to the OB during my lunch break and had the blood draw and progesterone shots. My progesterone isn't high enough that it would hurt anything without knowing the number and will most likely keep any bleeding away.
Keeping fingers crossed for no more problems and a sticky baby!
Charlize, married to DH 4/12/04. Mom to DD1 (4/2005) , DD2 (3/2007) , and DD3 (10/2009) , and DD4 (6/2011) .
I'm sorry the ER was so awful. I don't have any advice, but as another mom on progesterone, I feel for you. I hope the labs work out, and the bleeding stops, and you have the most boring pregnancy ever.
