Fayette's school board moved one step closer toward asking voters for a levy renewal, but the board's support is far from unanimous.
Board members voted 3-2 at the regular meeting July 16 to declare a "necessity to proceed" with the renewal request. Kelly Bentley and David Brinegar opposed the motion.
The next step is to approve a resolution to proceed, the final step needed to place the issue on the November ballot.
In March, board members voted to allow the five-year levy to expire. That action followed news of a $3.9 million settlement regarding a contamination issue on school grounds.
Since then, some board members announced their intent to reconsider the issue after approving a deficit budget.
The 7-mill levy actually collects taxes on 6.1 mills, said superintendent David Hankins. Because the levy is on-going, it will not result in any new money for the district, he said.

I had a 5 mz skimming of concrete in my kitchen (plan is to tile over). The whole process took the contractor approx 1 hour 15 mins. At one end of the skimming, just under the kitchen unit, there was a length of built up Cement(?) powder of about 2/3 inches. Is this common practise? It was not mentioned to me by the guy who did it at the time. Also should there be some sort of seal on top the now skimmed floor, as the dust is everywhere. This job cost £130 was that reasonable.
The same guy quoted me £ 620 for labour to tile the said kitchen floor and the walls approx 12 mz. Is this reasonable?

It's been 933 days since we launched the Z CamPaign.
The response from AAVSO observers has been amazing. In fact, I have been concerned at times that the Z CamPaign has had an undue influence on the observing habits of AAVSO observers. Many who used to monitor a more diverse list of objects have concentrated their efforts on the stars in the Z CamPaign in lieu of other stars since the launch of the campaign.
The result is that in 2 ½ years we have confirmed or determined, conclusively, the classification of 21 of the original 30 targets. 17 are definitively Z Cams, 4 are definitely not Z Cams, and the remaining 9 stars require further study to determine their type, although most are not likely to be Z Cams.
Of those nine, V426 Oph and V513 Cas have proved to be particularly enigmatic. There is plenty of data, but analysis has not led to a determination of type. MN Lac is simply so faint that even the best CCD observers with 25-60cm telescopes are barely able to detect it at minimum. We dropped it from the campaign in year two, so data remains scarce. The others are just going to take a more concerted effort to unmask.

Women's Sock Sizes
A standard women's sock size is usually presented on sock packaging as "Size 9-11." This usually translates to a women's U.S. shoe size 5-10 (European 36-41, UK 3-8).
Men's Sock Sizes
A standard men's sock size is usually presented on sock packaging as "Size 10-13." This usually translates to a men's U.S. shoe size 8-12.5 (European 42-46, UK 7-12).
Large Socks for Men & Women
If you have larger feet than the standard sizes above, we've got you covered:
- Men: For men who wear shoes bigger than size 12.5, we have a special collection of . These bigger socks are just as fun and funky as any we offer. No more plain white socks just because you have big feet!
- Women: For women who wear shoes bigger than size 10, we recommend you try our socks that are either marked at medium or socks sizes 9-11 (please see specific product for actual sizing) . In some cases the product with be marked UNISEX and there is no difference in design between our men's and women's socks; men's are simply for a larger foot. Many of our most popular styles are available in both a men's and women's version.
Wide Calf Knee High Socks
What about women who have larger calves? Our knee high socks are among our most popular, but customers with larger or more muscular calves are often concerned that the pattern will be stretched and distorted.
Our special collection of wide calf knee highs is the solution! While standard knee high socks can fit around a calf circumference up to about 18 inches (45 cm), these wide calf socks fit up to about 21 inches (53 cm).
Also, keep in mind that even if we don't offer a wide calf version of a certain knee high style, it may still work for you if it has a relatively simple pattern. The simpler the pattern, the stretchier the sock. This is because complicated patterns may have many panels of different colored threads stitched together, like a quilt, which can limit stretching.
If you have any questions about which styles may suit your needs, we're happy to make recommendations. Please
Ankle Width
Many people simply do not like the feeling of a tight band at their ankle, even though this is often necessary to keep a sock from sagging. The best option for a comfortable, nonbinding sock that won't sag is comfort-top socks. They are elasticized throughout the sock, which means they do not require a band at the top.
Kids' Sock Sizes
All parents and caregivers know that kids' sizes are beyond confusing, and there's no exception with socks! Every brand has different distinctions, such as small and large, youth and junior. Plus, we all know every child grows at a different rate. That's why we do our best to make the shopping process easy on you.
We have organized the assortment of sizes into the following categories:
- Baby socks are for newborns up to about 1 year old. Keep in mind how fast these little munchkins are growing and changing! When in doubt, go bigger, allowing the baby to grow into the sock. When the baby outgrows the socks, they make awesome holiday decorations, change purses, pet socks and more!
- Toddler socks are for little ones about 1 to 4 years old who wear toddler shoe sizes 4 to 7. If the toddler you're shopping for is a fast grower, then go ahead and move into the kids' sizes 8 and up.
- Boys & Girls socks are for children about 5 to 10 years old who wear kids' shoe sizes 8 to 13 and then on up to a size 3. By about age 10, most kids can fit into a standard women's sock. If the big kids you have in mind are tall or have rather large feet for their age, then just skip right to women's socks, which have a larger selection.
We also offer the ability to filter by age and by shoe size. If you know the age or shoe size of the little one you're shopping for, simply select it, and you'll see all of our cute socks from different brands that should fit that child.

Standing before an auditorium of defense ministers, generals, and politicians from across Asia and the West in Singapore on Saturday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta gave the most detailed description yet of America's new military strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. The speech was intended to soothe China, which is suspicious of an American presence in the region, but also calm the fears of Asian allies wary of Beijing's rising power. A highlight of the new strategy will be a boost in "force projection," allocating 60 percent of the Navy's warships to the Pacific by 2020—up from a current 50 percent.
Panetta sought to clarify the Obama administration's previously stated intent to "pivot" toward Asia by saying the U.S. will return in greater force to a region long a major focus of American military strength.
"Make no mistake—in a steady, deliberate, and sustainable way—the United States military is rebalancing and brings enhanced capabilities to this vital region," Panetta said.
Mindful of Beijing's repeated claims that the U.S. is seeking to contain China and meddle with its core interests, Panetta grounded the new strategy in geographic legitimacy. "We take on this role not as a distant power but as part of the Pacific family of nations," he told those gathered for the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Panetta's declaration comes at a time of increasing tension in the region as China and the Philippines are locked in a diplomatic tussle over an outcropping in the South China Sea. Both countries claim the shoal as their own, though what's at stake goes far beyond some rocks. Beneath the sea's waves lie immense deposits of oil and gas, while the surface is a major international shipping route: $1.2 trillion worth of U.S. trade passes through the sea each year. A number of other Asian nations that border the sea, including Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia also have territorial claims and are watching the dispute warily.
The dispute has triggered something of an arms race in the region as Asian nations scramble to protect themselves in light of China's growing military prowess. Citing the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Panetta stated that this year total projected military spending by all Asian nations would surpass that of Europe for the first time.
Throughout the day, in panel sessions and in hushed discussions in hallways, U.S. officials and their allies pressed for diplomatic progress on a host of issues from the South China Sea to North Korea.
But the elephant in every room was China, which this year declined to send a top-level government or military official to the conference. Some observers have interpreted this as a deliberate slight so as to avoid a confrontation that might upset the Chinese government's carefully laid plans.
"The Chinese don't want to be caught against a wall and forced to show their hand," said an analyst who asked to remain unidentified because of the political sensitivity of the issue. "They prefer to operate behind closed doors in the setting of their own choosing."
In his speech, Panetta denied that the U.S. rebalancing was all about China, instead focusing on the importance Asia will play in a modern era where American interests are tightly interwoven with the global economy. "In this century, the 21st century, the U.S. recognizes our prosperity and our security depends even more on the Asia-Pacific region," Panetta said.
Those were common themes of Panetta's speech, which delineated a military doctrine that protects international order while deepening and broadening bilateral and multilateral relationships in Asia.
Other U.S. officials were less guarded in their criticism of China. Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, the chairman of the Senate's Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, was in attendance along with Sen. John McCain of Arizona. Both supported the new strategy and said it would help the world promote peace.
"We need to find a middle path that doesn't allow China to bully its neighbors," said Lieberman in an interview. Speaking of the current maritime dispute, he said, "If it gets worse and affects our ability to do commerce in the South China Sea, it would have a devastating affect on our economy."
During his speech, Panetta decreed that the U.S. intends to replace retiring ships with the most technologically advanced fleet available and send them to the Pacific. In a few years, he said, six aircraft carriers will ply the region along with a majority of the Navy's cruisers, submarines, destroyers, and littoral combat ships.
The U.S. military buildup in Asia is nothing new, Panetta said, but rather a return to region that has been home to an American presence for six decades: "We were here then, we are here now, and we will be here in the future."

Racine man held in 2005 triple homicide
3 men shot, killed in parking lot after dice game
RACINE, Wis. — A 29-year-old Racine man has made his first court appearance in connection with a 2005 triple homicide.
Juwan Matthews faces two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and four counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
Ryan Lockridge, Aaron Woods and Frank Mister, all 23, of Racine, were fatally shot July 17, 2005, in a parking lot after a dice game became violent. Four others were wounded.
Matthews was identified as one of the suspects in 2005, but police were unable to track him down at the time.
Racine police Sgt. Jessie Metoyer said Matthews was being held in federal prison on drug-related charges, and was transferred from California to Racine to make his initial appearance.
The Journal Times reported that bond was set at $500,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled Wednesday.

• Easy-to-use Chrome Extension
• 1-Click Article Creation
• 100% Copyscape Unique
• High Quality Readability
• Legit Original Content
• Article URL Manager/Poster
An indispensable app for:
- Higher search engine rankings
- Superb-quality 100% unique and legit articles created on demand for promoting your site and building sustainable backlinks
Count the cost of article publishing:
Writers Fees: $70 X ?
Keep in mind you need a minimum of 600+ words per article. They must be all-original, written in perfect English grammar, and researched for your topic. So this is a conservative estimate!
Blog Guest Posts: $200 X ?
If you have been approached by guest-post brokers (as most webmasters have) you already know this is the minimum they charge for publishing an article on a blog that has domain authority.
Deep Block Spinning
Block spinning spintax, sometimes called article versioning, utilizes sentence variations, paragraph shuffling, and random paragraph selection. Deep block spinning is our improvement upon that, which uses sentence shuffling as well. The results are simply incomparable.
To write a good source document:
Pick 7-10 subtopics (of your main topic) for your paragraphs. Each paragraph will be independent and conclusive, so they can appear in any order in the article. For each paragraph, write 4-6 independent and conclusive sentences, which can appear in any order in the paragraph.
Anchoring sentences & paragraphs:
Some sentences or paragraphs may need to be fixed in a certain position to read well. This is accomplished with simple tags in the document. Use as many as you like. It is especially useful to fix a first and/or last paragraph in place which contains a link to your money site. (A fixed paragraph will always output.)
Sentence variations:
Rewrite each sentence twice, saying the same thing but in completely different ways. Only one of each sentence variation will be pulled for output. The order of the selected sentences will be randomly shuffled, unless a sentence is fixed in its position with a tag.
The final step is to add traditional spintax to the sentences. You can use an article spinner for this, but will need to manually edit it for quality.
Polish your completed document by outputting a dozen or so articles and reviewing for typos and grammar issues to fix on the source document.
Rest assured our dynamic user manual will walk you through every step and tip, complete with screenshots.

Deep Spin Poster : FAQs
Refund policy details?
All we ask is that you contact us with whatever issues you may have, and first and give us a chance to help. This is a Chrome extension so it pretty much "just works." If we can't make you happy, you may put in a refund request through JVZoo (not PayPal, please) within 7 days of purchase.
Upsells, OTOs, sales funnel?
There is one, and only one, inexpensive and totally optional add-on which is unrelated to the software functionality and not at all necessary for usage. It might make Chrome navigation a little more convenient, and provide some additional SEO tips. No hard sell, and up to you.
Can this be used for auto-blogging?
Conceivably, since you can rapid-fire new articles to text files. You would need a script that pulls from the text files to make new posts. You can, of course, output multiple articles to a WordPress blog and simply schedule their publishing. But Deep Spin Poster is really meant to be a white hat solution for content publishing and backlink building.
Will Drake & Kanye West come to celebrate my higher rankings?
We don't know. You can certainly ask them. No guarantees on that.
Does the price really double after launch week?
Yes, and also 2 of the 3 bonuses will be gone. Come back the next week and see for yourself. At $96 this app will still be a bargain, and priced considerably cheaper than an inferior and outdated "block spin" tool still being sold out there.
It is important to understand the difference between this method, which is completely above-board and built upon your own content creation, and black hat "rewriters" based on using stolen content. I wouldn't go near that kind of thing if you operate a serious online business. Build your house on rock, not on sand. We offer you a legit solution.
Build a Massive Network of Supporting Content & Links. There are hundreds of free blog platforms, article directories, and web 2.0 sites out there where you can post your articles. There are thousands of high-authority blogs now accepting guest posts. If you publish just a handful of new articles weekly, and maybe throw some cheap links at a selected few, your ranking factors will receieve a strong and steady push. The articles do need to be relevant and your own original content – which is exactly what this app produces. Deep Spin Poster also gathers and organizes all your published article URLs, and can drop their links directly into web forms and social media posts.

Nintendo wants fans to help them celebrate 25 years of Hyrulian adventure by creating their own Zelda-themed animations in Flipnote Studio, with the winners publically judged by the creators of the beloved series, including one Mr. Miyamoto.
Using templates and music made available by Nintendo, fans can use the free Flipnote Studio on their DSi or DSi XL systems to creating moving (and moving) tributes to the quarter of a century-old franchise. Fans can submit their entries between now and September 9 (see the contest website for details), after which a select few will be chosen to receive critique from a panel of The Legend of Zelda's creators, including Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka, Eiji Aonuma and Yoshiaki Koizumi. Zelda's creators will judge your creations, and while I'm positive they'll be nice, I'd love to see Miyamoto tell a fan how much his or her animation sucks.
The winners will be displayed prominently upon Nintendo's website, the Wii's Nintendo Channel, and Flipnote Hatena.
You can contact Michael Fahey, the author of this post, at email@example.com. You can also find him on Twitter, Facebook, and lurking around our #tips page.

The inaugural Laurel Youth Music Showcase, a summer open mic series for local children and teenagers, concluded Thursday evening, Sept. 5, with a finale concert at Granville Gude Park.
Laurel resident NicKayla Tucker, 16, emerged victorious in the evening's competition, one of seven acts chosen for the final showcase. Tucker sang Adele's "Someone Like You" and an original song, "No Permission." No stranger to the stage, her previous performance credits include a stint on Broadway as Young Nala in "The Lion King" and an appearance on "Law and Order SVU."
"I thought [winning the showcase] was amazing," Tucker said. "I was so glad to get the opportunity to not only perform, but to witness all the talent the youth in Laurel had to offer."
Laurel production company Breasia Studios and the Laurel Department of Parks and Recreation began hosting the weekly showcase at the park in June. Young musicians could sign up to perform covers or original material, and the most popular act from each week, as determined by an online poll, was invited to play the finale concert.
Seven acts performed Thursday night and competed for an opportunity to record and master a song at Breasia Studios. In the style of "American Idol," the concert also featured three judges: Breasia founder Jamal Lee, entertainment publicist Clifton Futch and producer Daren Joseph. The judges made comments after each performance, and an audience applause vote was used to pick the winner at the end of the night.
Breasia business manager Nailah Lee said the majority of the showcase competitors performed original music.
"They were really good songs," Lee said. "We got a lot of compliments from parents and people that came."
New York-based singer-songwriter Nessa Dove and her backing band also performed Thursday as a featured guest act. Laurel Mayor Craig Moe, City Council member Valerie Nicholas and Parks and Recreation program specialist Bonny DuCote also attended the finale concert and briefly spoke to the audience.
Lee said she felt the performances and the large audience made the event a resounding success.
"We were really happy," she said. "The response we got from the audience was extremely positive."
Breasia will return its focus to event production and artist management, Lee said, but the company hopes to work with the city to put on another youth music showcase next year.
"It was wonderful to have an avenue for teenagers to perform and share their music," she said.

Mike McMahon
|Mike McMahon
|U.S. Representative from New York's 13th District
From: January 3, 2009 - Present
|Vito Fossella
|Incumbent (no successor)
|Judith Novellino McMahon
|Roman Catholic
Mike McMahon (born September 12, 1957 in New York, New York) currently serves as the Democratic U.S. Representative from New York's 13th congressional district, covering Staten Island and neighborhoods of Brooklyn. He currently serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
McMahon graduated from New York University and earned a law degree from New York Law School. He was elected to the New York City Council in 2001 and to the House of Representatives in 2008 after incumbent Republican Vito Fossella retired after a drunk driving arrest in Virginia and allegations of an extramarital affair. He was handedly elected with 61% of the vote, despite Republican John McCain edging out Obama in the conservative-leaning 13th district 51%-49% in the 2008 Presidential Election.
In November 2009, McMahon was one of 38 House Democrats who voted against the Affordable Health Care for America Act, the only member of New York City's congressional delegation to do so.
McMahon caused controversy in July 2010 when his reelection campaign distributed a list titled "Grimm Jewish Money Q2", against his Republican opponent Michael Grimm. McMahon's communications director Jennifer Nelson was quoted saying "Where is Grimm's money coming from? There is a lot of Jewish money, a lot of money from people in Florida and Manhattan, retirees." Nelson was fired from the campaign.[1]

Cthulhu Spawn
Cthulhu Spawn is a term applied to the Great Old Ones, defenders of freedom and the American way. At least on paper. While their origins are unknown, it is speculated that they came in the depths of space ("the black seas of infinity") but the true location is more likely New Jersey.
Cthulhu was the first of his/her/its/non-gender-oriented kind to reach the earth, landing (it is believed) in Newark, New Jersey on or about 0 BCE, 0 BC, 0 AD, 0 CE, 632 BBM (before the birth of Muhammad and foundation of Islam) depending on your perception of time. The purpose of the sojourn remains unknown, but the legacy is clear: the Cthulhu Spawn gradually infiltrated the American political process (or lack thereof) and initiated the much spoken-of but little proven military-industrial complex. However, realizing that the sight of Dread Cthulhu or his/her/its/non-gender-oriented offspring drove men insane, the Cthulhu Spawn chose a less ominous moniker -- the Grand Old Party.
From the beginning, the Cthulhu Spawn were at odds with their predecessors, the liberal-arts leaning Elder Gods, whom they deemed "sissies, hippies and unpatriotic." Beginning in 1859, tensions between the largely Cthulhu Spawn northern states and the free wheeling, gun toting Southern states began to rise considerably.
The Cthulhu Spawn-Elder God War[edit]
The conflict, initiated by the Elder Gods, saw a vast struggle for control of Constitutional Rights, economic viability, territory, cotton, flax and human souls. In all, both sides suffered various amounts of fatalities, loss of manpower, material, horses and, most importantly, the international esteem for the United States. Yet, through it all, the supreme resources and blatant hostility towards peace, the Cthulhu Spawn would emerge victorious.
The resolution of the war saw the Cthulhu Spawn regain control of the Southern states, as well as Zimbabwe and Portugal. Spawn boned his wife real hard.
Powerlust and Schism[edit]
Having tasted power, they now began to move to consolidate their holdings and diminish States' Rights altogether. This began with the 19th Amendment and a tax on income and culminated in the Reconstruction projects, which were little more than a clever guise to feed their darker lusts with human souls.
Over the next hundred years, the Cthulhu Spawn would continue to increase its political holdings, though the Elder Gods were resurgent. The period from 1933-1981 were especially troubling, seeing the Cthulhu Spawn losing regularly to the Elder Gods in elections and souls consumed per capita. However, 1981 ushered in a brief golden age for the offspring of Cthulhu as the Eldritch Thing, erroneously referred to as The Reagan, formed a dynamic, dynastic trend: the Neo-Cthulhus. By 1994, the work of the Eldritch Thing was complete and the Neo-Cthulhus swept into power in the Great Tabernacle of Omnipresence. This victory, some detractors say, is do more to the corruption of the Elder Gods than the never-fulfilled promises of the Neo-Cthulhus.
Yet the power they enjoyed would be short lived. Power-mad, drunk with tax revenues and living a life so slothful and gluttonous as to make Emperor Nero blush, the Neo-Cthulhus' power was eroded by their own hands: by 2006, they were again in the minority while the Elder Gods promised "bipartisan orgies of the flesh, and universal health care, too." Some of the last Neo-Cthulhus worried that a massacre would soon be carried out by the Elder Gods. To date, this has not yet happened.

Former Bruins Star Accused Of Assaulting Child
Mike Milbury Accused In Connection With Rink Incident
A former Boston Bruin and current TV analyst has been charged with assault and battery on a child after a dust up during a pee wee hockey match in Brookline, police said.
Michael Milbury, who currently works as a hockey analyst for NBC Sports and the CBC, was accused of assaulting a 12-year-old youth hockey player at the Jack Kirrane Ice Skating Rink at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline last week on Dec. 9, police said.
Milbury is being charged with one count of assault and battery on a child, one count of threats to commit a crime, and disorderly conduct, police said.
Milbury is an assistant coach of his son's pee wee hockey team. The alleged victim was a player from an opposing team.
"During the shoot out I heard the player from the opposing team was in the back of Jake Milbury -- he jumped Jake in line, knocked him to the ice," said Boch Blazers co-owner, Paul Cokinos.
Milbury denies the charges. Through his attorney, he said he intervened in an altercation between his son and an opposing player.
"He's a great kid and he wouldn't do anything like this to hurt anybody," said asst. coach, Jeff Armando.
Milbury played 12 seasons for the Bruins and was head coach for two seasons.
"Every kid here loves him, said Boch Blazers co-owner, Ernie Boch. We've never had a problem with him and he's a great guy and a great coach."
Milbury's job as coach of the hockey team remains secure.
"Mike will never be removed, said Cokinos. He's been a proponent of our program. He's been a big plus to our program."
While he deals with the assault charges, Millbury has agreed to stay off the air. An NBC Sports Group spokesman said that in discussions with Milbury, they came to the conclusion together.
"CBC Sports spoke with Mike late this afternoon, and after a good discussion he won't be a part of 'Hockey Night In Canada' broadcasts while he focuses on his personal situation," said CBC Sports' Chuck Thompson.

Actor Richard Briers, known to millions for his enduring role in TV sitcom The Good Life, has died at the age of 79.
The star, who was also known for his Shakespearean roles, had been battling a serious lung condition for a number of years.
Briers, who also starred in shows such as Ever Decreasing Circles and Monarch Of The Glen, recently said years of smoking had been to blame for his emphysema.
Briers died "peacefully" at his London home on Sunday, his agent said.
Briers will be best remembered for his performance as Tom Good, alongside Felicity Kendal, in the 1970s BBC1 sitcom The Good Life about a couple who drop out of the rat race in Surbiton, south west London, to enjoy a life of simple self-sufficiency.
In an interview carried out only a matter of weeks ago, the actor told how his health was failing after being diagnosed with emphysema five years ago, which he attributed to years of smoking, although he gave up 10 years ago.
"I was diagnosed five years ago and didn't think it would go quite as badly as it has. It's a bugger, but there it is. I used to love smoking.
"It's totally my fault. So, I get very breathless, which is a pain in the backside. Trying to get upstairs… oh God, it's ridiculous. Of course, when you're bloody nearly 80 it's depressing, because you've had it anyway."
His agent, Christopher Farrar, of Hamilton Hodell, said: "Richard was a wonderful man, a consummate professional and an absolute joy to work alongside.
"Following his recent discussion of his battle with emphysema, I know he was incredibly touched by the strength of support expressed by friends and the public.
"He has a unique and special place in the hearts of so many. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go to his family at this sad time."

Get outta town with your old ass, Veronica Mars — Sweden's Blue Dragons detektivebyrå is a P.I. agency by a seven-year-old and a nine-year-old. This adorable crime-solving duo's rates start at $2.50 and can go as high as $12.50, depending on the difficulty of the case. It's a pretty good bargain, especially considering they're willing to work on credit.
Here's the translation:
If anyone has a mystery, call XXX or XXX to reach Blue Dragons detective agency.
We will decide on a place to meet and you will tell us the mystery. We aren't exactly "professionals" yet. You must know the scene of the crime and describe the case or what happened. The earliest you can call is March 23 and you cannot call at night. It costs 20 kronor ($2.50) for easy cases. Medium costs 50 kronor ($6.25). And if you have a really hard case it will cost 100 kronor ($12.50). If you don't have money with you, you can pay us the next day or whenever possible. When we meet somewhere you can tell us if it is easy, medium, or hard. Since you can't really know for sure, just give us your best guess. We who are doing this are 7-9 years old. P.S. But not all the time. We do have birthdays!
[via Tack Som Fan, hat tip/translation by Erika Larson, who would like everyone to know that she isn't a native Swedish speaker, so go easy on her/help us improve her translation.

Enhanced recovery clinical education programme improves quality of post-operative care (England)
Case Study
posted by WM Admin on 6 May 2015
A successful enhanced recovery (ER) programme began to fail after organisational restructuring and staff changes. Patients did not meet their ER goals and length of stay (LOS) increased. An ER nurse was appointed to get the programme back on track.
This involved a multidisciplinary approach to an ER clinical education programme. The programme aimed to develop knowledge of the physiology of post-operative recovery and the evidence underpinning the interventions required. This was considered crucial to secure longer term staff engagement while avoiding unthinking protocol driven compliance. Success of the education programme was measured by improved outcomes in patient LOS and readmission statistics.
During the four months of the clinical education programme there were no significant changes in monthly LOS. At six months post implementation of the programme there was a reduction in LOS of 0.6 days compared to the previous six months. At 12 months there was a reduction in 1.1 days compared with previous 12 months. There was a mean reduction of 28 day readmissions for all elective gynaecology surgery of 1.1 patients per month in the 12 months post programme implementation compared to the 12 months before. Delivering a multidisciplinary participatory education programme improved overall understanding of ER, and achieved sustained improvement in ER for patient benefit.

Vasile Cotovanu has created a new Google Map application, Lausanne Transit Network Simulator, using his popular and open-sourced transit network simulator. And I think it is the most impressive yet!
Vasile's latest simulation shows in real-time the public transit network of Lausanne in Switzerland. The simulator animates the town's buses in real-time. What makes this simulation even more impressive is the Google Maps aerial (Bird's Eye) imagery available in Lausanne.
The simulation maps the Lausanne public transit network and time-table, which involves more than 150km of travel and more than 300 stations, with 5,000 vehicles a day making almost 100,000 stops.
Using Vasile's vehicle-simulator you can create your own real-time public transit network simulator for any town or city with the help of the code, available from GitHub. To create your own simulated network you just need to plot your track / road network and the vehicle timetables in JSON format.
The network simulator can also be seen in action on:
- Swiss Railways(SBB) network simulator
- Romanian Railways(CFR) network simulator

Children are exposed to sexual messages every day—on TV, on the Internet, in movies, in magazines, and in music. Sex in the media is so common that you might think that teens today already know all they need to about sex. They may even claim to know it all, so sex is something you just don't talk about. Unfortunately, only a small amount of what is seen in the media shows responsible sexual behavior or gives correct information.
Your teen needs a reliable, honest source to turn to for answers—the best source is you. You may feel uneasy talking with your teen about sex, but your guidance is important. Beyond the basic facts about sex, your teen needs to hear from you about your family values and beliefs. This needs to be an ongoing discussion and not just one "big talk." This publication was written by the American Academy of Pediatrics to help you talk with your teen about this important and sensitive subject.
When it comes to something as important as sex and sexuality, nothing can replace your influence. You are the best person to teach your teen about relationships, love, commitment, and respect in what you say and by your own example.
Talking about sex should begin when your children first asks questions like, "Where do babies come from?" If you wait until your children are teens to talk about sex, they will probably learn their first lessons about sex from other sources. Studies show that children who learn about sex from friends or through a program at school instead of their parents are more likely to have sex before marriage. Teens who talk with their parents about sex are sexually active at a later age than those who don't.
Communication between parents and teens is very important. Your teen may not share the same values as you but that shouldn't stop you from talking about sex and sexuality.
Before your children reach their early teens, girls and boys should know about the following:
Correct body names and functions of male and female sex organs
Puberty and how the body changes (When and how the body changes is different for each child.)
Menstruation (periods)
Sexual intercourse and the risk of getting pregnant or getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI), including HIV (the virus that causes AIDS)
Your family values about dating, sexual activity, cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs
During the teen years, your talks about sex should focus more on the social and emotional aspects of sex, and your values. Be ready to answer questions like
When can I start dating?
When is it OK to kiss a boy (or a girl)?
How far is too far?
How will I know when I'm ready to have sex?
Won't having sex help me keep my boyfriend (or girlfriend)?
Do you think I should have sex before marriage?
Is oral sex really sex?
How do I say "No"?
What do I do if someone tries to force me to have sex?
Answer your teen's questions based on your values—even if you think your values are old-fashioned. If you feel strongly that sex before marriage is wrong, share this with your teen and explain why you feel that way. If you explain the reasons for your beliefs, your teen is more likely to understand and adopt your values.
Other concerns include the following:
Peer pressure. Teens face a lot of peer pressure to have sex. If they aren't ready to have sex, they may feel left out. But more than 50% of teens wait until after high school to have sex, and there are benefits of waiting. Abstinence from sex (oral, vaginal, and anal) provides 100% protection against STIs and pregnancy, and less emotional stress if there's a breakup.
STIs. Teens need to know that having sex exposes them to the risk of STIs. Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes, HIV, and trichomoniasis. HPV is responsible for most cervical cancer.
Prevention. The only sure way to prevent STIs is not to have sex.
Reducing the risk. Condoms (male or female) are the safest method to reduce the risk of most STIs and should always be used. Also, postponing sex until later teen years or adulthood reduces the risk. If both partners are abstinent before marriage or in a long-term, mature relationship; have never had an STI; and have sex with each other only (monogamy), the risk is eliminated.
Monogamy. Many teens have heard that monogamy is "safe sex"; however, they misunderstand and believe that having one partner and then switching and having another partner and then switching is monogamy. While having multiple partners during the same time frame is especially risky for STI exposure, having one partner after another is not monogamy (monogamy means one partner for life).
Birth control. Girls and boys need to know about birth control whether they decide to have sex or not. If your teen doesn't know about birth control, an unplanned pregnancy might result. Ten percent of teen girls in the United States get pregnant each year. By the age of 20 years, 4 out of 10 girls become pregnant. Birth control pills, shots (trade name Depo-Provera), and contraceptive patches only prevent pregnancy—they don't protect against STIs, including HIV/AIDS. Condoms and another reliable birth control method need to be used each time to help reduce the risk of STIs and pregnancy.
Date rape. Date (or acquaintance) rape is a serious problem for teens. It happens when a person your teen knows (for example, a date, friend, or neighbor) forces her (or him) to have sex. Make sure your teen understands that "no always means no." Also, dating in groups instead of alone and avoiding drugs and alcohol reduces the risk of date rape.
Sexuality. This is a difficult topic for many parents, but your teen probably has many questions about heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. Many young people go through a stage when they wonder, "Am I gay?" It often happens when a teen is attracted to a friend of the same gender, or has a crush on a teacher of the same gender. This is common and doesn't necessarily mean your teen is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Sexual identity may not be firmly set until adulthood. If your teen is gay, lesbian, or bisexual, your love and acceptance is important.
Masturbation. Masturbation is a topic few people feel comfortable talking about. It's a normal and healthy part of human sexuality and shouldn't be discouraged. Discuss this in terms of your values. Talk with your pediatrician if your child can't limit masturbation to a private place (for example, bedroom or bathroom).
Sex is a very personal and private matter. Many parents find it difficult to talk with their children about sex. Teens may be too embarrassed, not trust their parents' advice, or prefer not to talk with their parents about it. But sex is an important topic to talk about.
The following tips may help make talking with your teen easier:
Be prepared. Read about the subject so your own questions are answered before talking with your teen. Practice what you plan to say with your spouse or partner, a friend, or another parent. This may make it easier to talk with your teen when the time comes. Speak calmly and clearly.
Be honest. Let your teen know that talking about sex isn't easy for you but that you think it's important that information about sex comes from you. And even though you would prefer that your values be accepted, ultimately decisions about sex are up to your teen. If your teen disagrees with you or gets angry, take heart, you have been heard. These talks will help your teen develop a solid value system, even if it's different from your own.
Listen. Give your teen a chance to talk and ask questions. It's important that you give your full attention.
Try to strike a balance. While teens need privacy, they also need information and guidance from parents. If your teen doesn't want to talk with you about sex and tells you that it's none of your business, be firm and say that it is your business. Your teen should know that you're asking out of love and concern, especially because there are potentially harmful situations. If your teen is quiet when you try to talk about sex, say what you have to say anyway. Your message may get through.
Ask for help. If you just can't talk to your teen about sex, ask your pediatrician, a trusted aunt or uncle, or a minister, priest, or rabbi for help. Also, many parents find it useful to give their teens a book on human sexuality and say, "Take a look at this, and let's talk."
Media entertain, educate, and inform. But some messages may not be what we want children to learn.
American media today often portray sexual images and suggestive sexual content. In fact, the average young viewer is exposed to more than 14,000 sexual references each year. Only a small amount of what is seen in the media shows responsible sexual behavior or gives correct information about abstinence (not having sex), birth control, or the risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Media in any format can have a positive or negative effect on your teen. This makes it important for you to know what your teen is listening to or watching. Many lyrics can be obtained online in case you need help figuring out the words. Watch TV or go to the movies with your teen—it can be a great starting point for your next talk about sex.
Pay attention to TV and movie ratings. Movies with an R (restricted) rating contain material that is not appropriate for children younger than 17 years. PG-13 movies may contain violence, graphic language, or adult situations.
Parents often fear that if they talk about sex, their children may want to try it. Teens are curious about sex, whether you talk to them about it or not. Studies show that teens whose parents talk openly about sex are actually more responsible in their sexual behavior.
Your guidance is important. It will help your teen make better-informed decisions about sex. Teens who don't have the facts about sex and look to friends and the media for answers are the most likely to get into trouble (such as getting STIs or becoming pregnant).

PLANS for a new mobile phone mast in Accrington have been revealed.
Telecoms giant Vodafone has applied for planning permission to upgrade its base station at the corner of Wordsworth Road and Fern Gore Avenue and install a 17.5m tall mast.
The new mast would be installed just inches from school playing fields and just 700ft from nearby Mount Carmel High School, which has expressed its concern about the plans.
It would feature a pole housing three antennas at the top, and would replace a nearby antenna currently measuring 13.8m.
Headteacher Xavier Bowers said: "We would always want to help the community and improve where we live in lots of different ways, but I'm not too sure a mobile phone mast is the best way to do that, and I would be concerned about the impact with it being sited so close to the school."
In planning documents, Manchester-based Mono Consultations Ltd, acting for Vodafone, said: "The proposed height is necessary to retain the continued need for both coverage and capacity of the existing networks.
"The proposed height and structure-type will also cater for future 4G coverage demands."
It added: "We recognise the growth in mobile technology has led, in some cases, to public concern about perceived health effects of mobile technology and its deployment, in particular about siting masts close to local communities. Quite naturally, the public seeks reassurance they are not in any way harmful or dangerous.
"Vodafone and Telefonica ensure that our radio base stations are designed and operated so the public are not exposed to radio frequency fields above guidelines."
Coun Pam Barton said she received an email from Vodafone a few months ago.
She added: "I have asked that full consultation is given to residents and the school."

"Kids these days." It's the phrase generations of adults have always muttered in exasperation about the young whippersnappers who frustrate them. And while the refrain remains the same, kids these days aren't your father's "kids these days."
In and out of the classroom, they're busier and more proactive than ever. Right here in Charlottesville, they're changing the face of religious education, breaking boundaries in the sports world, and even making award-winning movies.
Move over, Generation Y. Here comes Generation "Why Not?"
When in 1972 Congress passed Title IX– the law prohibiting schools that accepted federal funds from discriminating on the basis of sex– the sports world reeled. To comply with the law, high schools and colleges had to establish women's divisions of almost every sport.
By the end of the '90s, professional leagues like the WNBA and the Women's United Soccer Association had planted their flags on the sports landscape. Today, from the Independent Women's Football League to the International Female Boxers Association, it seems that for every men's sports league, women have an equivalent.
But a few aspiring female athletes in Charlottesville looked at their options and wondered, Girls' league? We don't need no stinking girls' league! All over central Virginia, from hockey rinks to ball fields, some young women feel right at home competing alongside boys.
And, in the case of at least these three contenders, they hardly "play like girls."
ANNIE LIGISH (Age 8)
Ice Hockey, Defenseman
After watching only one game, Annie Ligish knew that ice hockey was the sport for her.
"I saw my brother score a goal," she says, "and I thought I wanted to do that too."
So as soon as she saw flyers in the Charlottesville Ice Park inviting girls to sign up to play youth hockey along with the boys, she was all over it. In no time, she was also all over the ice.
And in spite of the sport's reputation as a rough and tumble game, Ligish's mother, Donna– who had already seen her two sons, John Paul (the one who scored that goal) and Joey, come up through the league– says she didn't worry about her daughter.
"They never put the kids in a position where they could get hurt," she says. "And Annie's such a tough little girl."
"It was weird being surrounded by boys," says Annie, "but I'm pretty used to it now."
In fact, Donna Ligish says her daughter is not at all shy about asserting herself during a game.
"Annie plays defense, so sometimes she throws herself on the puck," she says. "She pushes her way through the boys because she has that drive to win."
TAYLOR RENEE WRIGHT (Age 10)
Baseball, Third Base/Outfield
Like so many other players of her generation, Taylor Renee Wright's first taste of baseball didn't come from anyone taking her out to the ballgame, but from the wide world of televised sports.
"I saw a game on TV," she says, "and that's when I decided I wanted to play. It just looked really cool."
So at only six years of age, Wright got a bat and glove and signed up to play in the McIntire Little League.
Four seasons later, Wright's mother, Pat, says that coaches and teammates have treated her daughter just like one of the boys.
"Taylor didn't have games when she was taunted or teased," she says. "A couple of the guys even used her pink batting helmet and gloves."
Now that's she's had the chance to hone her skills over the course of several springs, Wright has turned into quite an adept third baseman and outfielder, though she's ambivalent about which position she likes better.
"You get a lot of balls in the infield, but I also really like catching pop flies in the air in the outfield," she says.
Her skill at both posts isn't lost on Bob Schotta, president of McIntire Little League.
"She tries as hard as anyone else out there," he says. "She holds her own."
Next month, Wright will give McIntire's all-girls softball league a try. She said she doesn't really know why she's switching, but her mother thinks she has an idea.
"They only sold pink bats for softball," she says.
PAIGE SHELER (Age 9)
Baseball, Infielder/Pitcher
Entering this year's fall ball season, Paige Sheler has one goal: reaching the major league level when Central Little League's tryouts roll around next spring.
"I'm trying to get better," she explains, "but the boys are sometimes better and so I like playing against them."
If she makes that upper echelon and plays against boys three years older than she is this coming spring, her's will have hardly been an overnight success story. Sheler was first exposed to baseball at her brother Eric's games when she was just four months old.
"Because of her brother, she's used to being around boys," says her mother, Esther. "If she had a sister, I don't think she'd feel the same way about playing with boys."
And play Sheler has, spending most of her time at second base, but also taking her turn as pitcher. Alan Archer, her coach of two years, says choosing to put "the Paigemeister" on the mound was an easy call.
"With some kids, if they make one bad throw, they can't pitch anymore," he says. "But Paige has great composure to go along with a good arm."
Her father Roger concurs. "She's played those infield positions, and because of that she definitely doesn't throw like a girl," he says.
It's a role Sheler says she's comfortable playing. "I like that the pitcher basically controls the game," she says.
Does she have any secrets for other girls looking to show off their arm?
"Just try not to hit anybody," she says.

Camera, action: Light House nurtures new Spielbergs
It's undeniable that today's youth live electronically saturated existences. But local kids don't have to spend hours tuned to the movie channel when they can create their own masterpieces right here in town.
At Light House Studio in the Charlottesville City Center for the Arts, workshops offer area teens a way to give voice– and images– to their unique perspectives on their lives.
"It really gave me a chance to achieve a sense of professionalism," Lucas McQueen says of the directing workshop. "It gave me confidence."
McQueen expresses a theme heard frequently at the studio. Light House alum Bremen Donovan returned from her studies at Brown University this summer to hone her filmmaking skills.
"Light House is always totally different every time I go back," Donovan says. " I always learn something completely new I would not have been able to predict."
And Light House programs don't tax teens' bank accounts. During the school year, the center offers free workshops for teenagers at the Westhaven community on Hardy Drive and at the Sunrise trailer court in Belmont.
That means kids with a wide variety of cinematic sensibilities find their way into Light House's "Adrenaline Film" program where they have just 72 hours to complete a film from first draft to final cut.
Despite– or perhaps because of– the time constraints, the exercise has produced some much-acclaimed work. Last year's Virginia Film Festival, with the theme In/Justice, featured 11 Adrenaline teams, and the team of Charlottesville High School students Evans Brown, Aaron Izakowitz and Sam Osimitz earned the impressive Jury Prize.
For the more tunefully inclined, each spring Light House collaborates with another of Charlottesville's outlets for teen expression: the Music Resource Center. Three student producers from Light House work with musicians from the MRC to create an original music video.
"It starts with a meeting," Light House managing director Cassandra Barnett explains, "where they discuss things like, what visuals do you see? what styles and feelings do you want?"
Through this program, veteran Light House student Matt Denton-Edmunson had a chance to produce a music video for his brother's band, the Wave.
"I like his music a lot," Denton-Edmunson says. "It was fun to make up a story for him and put it to his music."
"The music videos are some of the Light House students' favorites," Barnett says.
Future Walt Disneys and Matt Groenings get to breathe life into inanimate creations in Light House's summer animation workshop. After becoming acquainted with the painstaking art of animation, students create a simple story using moldable materials like clay to animate without speech, no more than a minute long.
"At first, you spend an hour and have 10 seconds of animation," says Denton-Edmunson, who made an animated short about a bank robbery. "It becomes kind of frustrating."
The students must write storyboards, create their sets from scratch, and animate them frame by frame. In the end, they combine their work into a group project.
In the Light House directing workshop, eight students working in pairs write, direct, and edit their own short films in just two weeks.
"It was one of the best experiences– not just because we made a movie," McQueen explains. "When you're working together, you can't have all your ideas take flight."
And while there may be a limited number of ideas an individual can fit into a film, there seems to be no limit on the creativity students learn to express.
Anyone interested in the Adrenaline program, but not previously affiliated with Light House can call for an application (293-6992), or download it from Light Housestudio.org. The $150 fee should not be a deterrent since scholarships are available. Oh, and there is one other, minor, inconvenience.
"You have to miss a day or two of school," says Barnett. "Some kids really like that."

Making menschen: Jewish school preps for 2nd year
<>When the Charlottesville Community Jewish Day School opened its doors last fall, welcoming six students in kindergarten and first grade, parents and administrators knew they would face a challenge in attracting new students and funding in the future.
Unlike the Charlottesville Day School– which will open at ACAC this fall with 100 students in three grades– the Jewish Day School didn't have the backing of a huge corporate entity and instead relied entirely on donations, tuition, and grants. But despite a bumpy first year that included the original head-of-school leaving mid-year and the unexpected need for a new location, current head of school Jan Chase says year two is shaping up for success.
"All of our students are returning," says Chase, who adds that she believes the quality of instruction and the school's emphasis on academics and Jewish culture not only has kept current families satisfied but will attract more students in the future. This year, two new students are joining the community, she says, bringing enrollment to eight.
Chase, whose background is in fundraising and who previously worked at a Jewish school in Washington, was hired mid-year, when the school's first director, Dick Lavine, left the position for health reasons, Chase says.
The second blow the school faced: learning that it would need to vacate its downtown space on the second floor of Christ Church after one year instead of the originally planned two.
"They decided to renovate," explains Chase, who says that despite the change, the church– which had offered the school space rent-free– has remained "incredibly supportive," donating furniture and assisting in the school's move to its new location at the east end of the Downtown Mall next to the transit center.
That move, Chase says, has worked out well, providing nearly twice the area of the old space as well as a full kitchen. Students use the kitchen for such cooking projects as baking their own challah– traditional Jewish bread– on Friday in preparation for Shabbat (the Jewish sabbath that lasts from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday).
Other good news: for the second year in a row, Chase says, the school has received a $60,000 matching grant from the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education, something she says is helping to offset this year's unexpected $20,000 rent bill.
"I've been really happy with Charlie's progress in reading, and his general interest in learning," says Drew Alexander, whose son will enter second grade this year. Praising the school for its "tight-knit" community, Alexander believes the new space and new leadership are both good things, though he admits they may have made recruitment of new students difficult.
"We're in a good place," he says. "We're in a better space now than before; we have more room, and it's air conditioned."
This second year, however, is a "very critical year," admits Chase, who says she's working to get the school's name out and to let people know "what it means to be a community day school."
While students participate in a curriculum that includes everything from social studies to yoga to Hebrew taught by a native speaker, a family's religious practice isn't important.
"We don't care what people are," Chase says, adding that current students come from the full spectrum of Judaism– from Hasidic to secular– as well as one student who isn't Jewish.
"We're trying to raise menschen," she says, using the Yiddish word for "admirable human beings."

Still moldy: Family's American dream goes sour
Two days after Larry Butler and Judit Szaloki bought their first home in February 2005, their asthmatic daughter ended up in the emergency room, and the married couple discovered the Wayne Avenue residence was infested with mold.
After it was suspected that moisture problems had been covered up and their story was reported in the Hook, the community rallied to help the financially devastated family. ServiceMaster provided free mold remediation that might have cost $30,000. Contractor Bob Fenwick stopped the water coming into the house, and for months, he came by after work and on weekends to get the place back in shape. Volunteers made donations of materials and labor.
A year later, the house for which the Butlers paid $246,000 is barely habitable. Their cars have been repossessed, and they use food stamps to put meals on the table. Facing bankruptcy, they wonder where their family of six will live when the inevitable foreclosure occurs.
"Everyone assumes we're doing much better and the house is back together," says Szaloki. Instead, the family camps out in the house, eating on the floor and sleeping on mattresses because, they say, the furniture they moved in became contaminated and to be discarded.
Only one of three bathrooms has a working toilet, sink, and bath. The kitchen has no appliances, sink, or cabinets. Szaloki uses a downstairs kitchen, cooking on a stove with one working burner. The sink backs up, and plumbers have told her it's a drainage problem that will cost tens of thousands to fix.
She'd planned to move the daycare business she'd run for 20 years into the basement of the house, but when word about the mold infestation spread, she lost her clients. And even though the house has been cleaned, with no working bathroom downstairs and a sketchy kitchen, Szaloki hasn't been able to reopen the business, which she and Butler had counted on to pay the mortgage.
Butler still has his Ivy Square business, Uncle Larry's Toy Shop, which brings in enough to cover its expenses, but little more. "I'm not going to close the store and get a regular job," insists Butler. "I've got a regular job." The former Marine now moonlights as a bouncer.
They've been paying about $400 a month on their $1,700 mortgage, and he figures they're behind about $22,000. "Our mortgage company sold the loan," he reports, "and they told us we have to come up with $4,000 by the end of the month."
That might explain some recent visitors– the contractor who said he was instructed to change the locks, the woman who hid in the bushes and took pictures of the house.
Daughter Emese, a senior at Charlottesville High, has a job at Red Lobster, within walking distance of the house. She was saving for a trip to England next year with the school orchestra. Instead, says her mother, Emese's earnings are going to pay the phone bill, or to reconnect the water service after it was cut off, or for food when the $600 in food stamps runs out.
"It's affected me in more ways than one," says the teen, who finds herself more prone to illness since moving to the house. "I'm mad. I'm upset."
Most of all, she doesn't understand how her parents could have been sold a house with such major problems. "I really want to blame everyone who put us here– Real Estate III, Montague Miller... They knew it had flooding," she says.
The experts who came in to clean up the house were extremely dubious that former owner Steve Dudley didn't know about the flooding in the house. The mold-infested basement had been freshly painted when the house was listed for sale.
And the Butlers allege their real estate agent, Sirlei Kaiser-Ramirez, misled them when she told them the mold, which was noted in a pre-sale home inspection, could be wiped down with Clorox.
Dudley and Real Estate III spokeswoman Pat Jensen had not returned phone calls by press time. Listing agent Shann Whited declined to comment.
"I know there are people who have worse problems," says Emese, "but I can't be cheery and smiley."
"This is an unusual situation," says the mold remediator Fenwick. "It doesn't happen often. I was disappointed with the real estate agency. They could have turned this around. And with the inspector for not making it known how bad the mold and mildew were."
Fenwick estimates it would take up to $60,000 to get the house into shape– and that doesn't include the money owed to the mortgage company.
"Bad things happen to good people," he says. "The community helped out, but this was so out of whack."
The situation has affected the entire family. Szaloki and Butler report depression and strains on their marriage. "Larry, after 10 years in the Marines– this is a man used to being in protective mode," says Szaloki. "This is so unfair."
And Szaloki's dreams of creating an "amazing" daycare are dashed. "I have a talent for children," she says. "I have raised half of Charlottesville. Now I can't take care of them. I don't have a place."
The Butlers have met with bankruptcy lawyers and seem resigned to the notion that a Chapter 7 is in their future. Even with that option, "We can't afford it," laments Szaloki. "They all want money upfront"– at least $1,200.
And they shudder at the cost of rent. A two-bedroom apartment near Butler's store costs nearly $1,400, "and there are six of us," he points out.
After 18 months in a nightmare from which she can't wake up, Szaloki despairs. "I don't want to keep going underwater. I just want a bed. I just want a bathroom."
She has one other wish. "I'm sorry I'm not a gutsy lawyer who could take this on."
High school senior Emese Szaloki, in one of the Wayne Avenue house's non-working bathrooms, contemplates her family's future.
Eric and Emese Szaloki spread a tarp to keep water from coming in under the door.

I'm going to spoiler the rest of this after this paragraph, because if - like me - you really enjoy opening yourself up to the unease, anxiety, and dread that good horror can provide, you'll want to go into this movie as unprepared and open to it as possible. I also don't want to oversell it beforehand and contribute to raising unreasonable expectations or encouraging the kind of reflexive resistance to high praise that might suck the life out of the experience, but it would be disingenuous of me not to say: this is the most scared I've ever been watching a movie, and the most horrified I've ever been by a work of fiction. Ari Aster's feature debut is not a flawless movie, and I'm sure - for reasons I'll get to below - individual mileage will vary greatly, but if you enjoy horror as a genre, Hereditary deserves to be reckoned with.
Aster, who wrote and directed the living hell out of this film (pun intended), spends the first 20 or so minutes capably establishing the eerieness and creepy foreshadowing that's standard for these types of movies, laying the foundation for the pattern of steadily escalating scares and raising stakes we've all seen before. Then, more or less out of nowhere, he drops a bomb into the narrative with a genuinely shocking surprise (and a uniquely disturbing image now burned in my brain), a swerve which so derails the expected chain of events that even when moments in the rest of the movie felt more conventional, the lingering astonishment at this key turning point kept me from ever feeling comfortable with where this was going. Where the film ends up isn't entirely original - is, in fact, deeply rooted in and indebted to one of my favorite subgenres - but the extremity of Aster's vision for this story makes Hereditary stand out even among the most excellent of its forebears.
I was extremely impressed by Aster's, cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski's, and the sound design team's ability to direct and distract attention as needed to amplify the horror of a given moment, and his rhythmic grasp of what heightens a jump scare beyond the merely startling to something that actually makes you leave your seat in fright. As I said above, I was alone in a fairly large theater for a late night preview screening, and there are two moments - one of absolutely perfect surround sound design that made me instinctively jerk my head around to see if there was someone else behind me making that fucking noise (it'll be obvious what I mean to those who see it) and one of framing and focus that made me audibly groan - in a good way - once I noticed after a second or two what was unhidden but not specifically highlighted in the framing of a shot late in the film.
Finally, since I've already called out Collette's performance, I'd be remiss if I neglected to mention that while the rest of the core family cast - Wolff and Gabriel Byrne as the father - are very good, Milly Shapiro's Charlie is the creepiest child character I've ever seen on film. I don't know that I've ever had as strong of an impulse to get away from a character as intensely and immediately as I did her 13-year-old girl.
