From EA Louse, to covert messages dropped by former community leads, and now this.
Mythic is the story of a great company with tons of talent that got devoured by green, ego, and EA.
It's a crying shame, really. One of the best designed MMOs in the history of the genre, and there's NOTHING to show for it now.
I do wonder what he means when he says people actively tried to sabotage the game. I mean, they succeeded, and there were a lot of brain dead features added that make you go "They MUST be doing this on purpose, they can't be THIS dumb" but I wonder which specific ones they are.

Hooh boy. First, Mythic has been around for a long time. They had about 4 games before DAoC.
Second, they managed to create one of the best MMORPGs ever, so at SOME point in their history, they were great.
Third, the amount of mistakes that came flooding in after EA bought the company outstrip the ToA mistake by a MASSIVE margin. Or did you forget about WAR?

Yep, DAoC had long gone to shit before EA came along. Is it really any surprise that the clowns who destroyed the best MMO ever created also created Warhammer Online? Clearly, the early days of DAoC was a fluke, and the tards the headed Mythic had no idea what made it so magical.

At one point I may have agreed with you, but if you look at all their pre DAoC games, they were all very similar. They knew very well what worked, and they perfected that formula in DAoC. It's much more logical to assume that they were destroyed by their own success, as is said in the rant in the first post. There is no question that EA took a company that had kind of lost its way, and totally DESTROYED them, putting all the wrong people in charge.

i remember one of the DAOC producer's letters or such from the early naughties saying they had pledged to constantly revise/improve DAOC until it was a completely different game (as far as like art assets). instead of abandoning it to work on another game. apparently they only went as far as an avatar revamp..... i didn't really keep up with the game after Catacombs.
just imagine if they'd stuck to that word, and put all those man years of labour that went into Warhammer Online, into completely revamping DAOC.

Before EA pulled the plug on the last traces of old Mythic they were planning a true classic server (no expansions) and even a sequel. But EA shifted them all to focus on saving WAR and SWTOR.
For those who didn't see the link, it's here. People are trying to pull it from the internet, fearing legal recourse, so I'm going to remove the name, not that it'll help much I think.
Redacted once had an important job at UO and DAoC that I will not mention. With what seems to be a rage "I am quitting Facebook for "allowing us to be pretentious with one another", Redacted "will have a lot to say between now and then". Today he wrote quite the long bash to former Mythic co-workers as goodbyes. Here's what he had to say:
So, in keeping with my promise to have much to say before Facebook becomes history to me, to my former "Mythic" friends, I have the following seven points:
1) Mark Jacobs *and* Rob Denton gave me a chance. I never interviewed with Mark before being hired. That was *all* Rob. I was actually sick with a bad cold at the time. But I made the flight and sat in his office, and he actually hired me.
And… being a single dad, Rob even gave me advances in pay for several months after being hired. He was absolutely gracious. Yet at the same time, it was Rob who ultimately broke my heart, and it was Mark who saved it.
2) The company was squandered away into obscurity over pettiness and unbridled monetary greed. We could have been great, but we were only mediocre, and then we just plain sucked after a while. Sure, DAoC went on to make shit tons of money and allowed the company to blossom (and ultimately is what led to EA having interest enough to acquire the company). But as soon as one particular person got a taste of "millions of dollars", that person stopped being true to his heart and nature. And with this point, I am speaking *squarely* at Rob and not Mark. Because Mark never forgot, and I can attest to that *personally*. Because the man helped me when no one else would, and long after "Mythic" was over. Yet it was Rob who always considered the money and "status" to be far more important than even the best of people and talent that made it all possible in the first fucking place, who was all too happy to get rid of value in favor of self-aggrandizement. So, while I greatly respect Rob and always will for what he did do for myself and my daughter, he still lost his light and betrayed many people, including his primary partner (Mark), after the money began to flow, and many souls were left hanging out to dry, and thus whatever good he did for me has become irrelevant compared to the harm he caused to others over the years. And I know he must know this, because he's also one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. It's just too bad that he allowed his ego to overtake his good sense and to ultimately destroy Mythic.
3) I wish I could have been more as a leader in the company. I wish my personality was such that I could have "saved" DAoC and the company itself from failure. I wish I could have been more persuasive. But I failed as well, because I could not convince the "powers that be" to do the right things (such as not abandoning flagship products and laying off integral people in favor of cashing in on ego). But it is what it is and was what it was, and I did the best I could, and I hope you know that my heart was in it from the beginning to the end.
4) Jeff Hickman: I always respected you despite your complete lack of experience developing games at the time. I could talk to you about anything. I remember many days when I came to your office, and you always had a smile and a warm welcome. But man, when you became my boss, I found a vicious animal who instead of talking the real deal and being as humble as you seemed, you instead talked "crazy ideas" and then forced them upon me like a dictator. In hindsight, you were *only* interested in your "EA career" and not at all in the products or people you led. You completely fucked up Warhammer, but then blamed it on others to the extent that others' careers were ruined. You failed to take *any* responsibility. And after learning how corruptible you were, it broke my fucking heart. Just as it did Mark's, when you betrayed him instead of facing the music as you should have. (And please note that I am speaking only from my own interpretation, and NOT on behalf of Mark, of course.) I don't even know why you are a 'friend' on FB after the BS you pulled.
5) To those who remember being on the DAoC and UO teams, and what I did as Producer to make sure we all worked together to do the best we could under preposterous conditions, I thank you. You know who you are. But to those who worked every minute to sabotage the two games, FUCK YOU. And you also know who you are.
6) EA is a mess and always will be until the company gets back to its roots. That's what happens when you think you know it all, but then you don't. Sure, acquiring talent is a great thing. But if you lose the talent you purchased through the process, because you were too dumb to know what it actually was that was being purchased, then you deserve the terrible outcome you receive. You did nothing to protect the talent at Mythic you spent $100 million on. But who gives a damn, right? Because what's $100 million to EA. Unless, of course, you enact the same amateur philosophy in every purchase (including of Bioware), and so you reap what you fucking sew. And to be honest, I look forward to the day when EA collapses and the IP is transferred to another company that actually gives a damn about what it is they are doing.
7) To the people who composed the teams on which I was a member, and over which I was charged with supervision, you were awesome for the most part (save for the above chastisements and a few others I care not to mention). You made every day worthwhile for me, and I only hope that I measured up even during those times when I felt I did not. Again, you know who you are.
November 27th, approximately 11 pm, here I come.
But no worries. More to follow tomorrow. ;)
Redacted apparently has not gotten over the fact that he was laid off in January 10th. He apparently has a lot more to say in the upcoming days.
I am not a fan of rant posts like these, they are quite energy-draining. Phew."
So, there's that.

Not thinking before you speak is human. Not thinking before you hit ENTER has no excuse.
DAoC in itself was a great game as my Top 3 quote shows. Yes, ToA expansion ruined it, but at least ME cared enough to admit to their mistake and made classic servers. Something larger companies failed to do when they massively fucked up a game, like SOE and SWG.
EA is very well known for herding in quality companies and destroying them from the inside out. Personally, I think EA hates MMO's and would rather the genre die to make way for their neverending desire to put Console gaming back at the top. I don't blame Mythic and I certainly don't blame BioWare either. EA just plain sucks and I wish nothing but the worst for them.

I think a lot of people forget that Mythic did try to fix their ToA mistake, through both classic servers, and making ToA trials very easy. There were still pieces of people who cared then, but after EA bought Mythic, there was a very sudden, very noticable decline in quality.

Er, no it didn't... EA had the WAR license, not Mythic. Mythic at the time was working on Imperator, a game which got canned so they'd work on WAR.

You're right, Mythic got the rights to WAR in 2005, which was the same time they were in negotiations with EA to be bought out. EA never had the rights until they bought Mythic. Regardless, the reports from devs that have leaked out from WAR have shown that EA tampered in every aspect of WAR's development.

It's pretty much the same story with every IP and development studio on the planet.
It goes from a shitty old small office of dedicated developers with little money but a heck of alot of skill and dedication to a massive corporation with multiple offices filled with bean counters, members of board, ceo's and just plain old incompetant fools with truck loads of money with no skill or vision other than cashing in as quickly as possible. The ones who do have any clue are drowned out or fired.

When you're done raging against the machine, take a minute to actually walk through that scenario and you'll see the actual "reason why we have been playing nothing but re iterations WOW for the past decade" is because people are paying for it.
After all, your argument is that it's no longer dedicated developers who love making games but now EvilCorpCo who only cares about money. Seems that if they have truck loads of money and their goal is "cashing in" then they'd probably make what people want to buy. And if people are buying it, they'll make more. And if more people buy that, they'll keep making more.
So, isn't the real "reason why we have been playing nothing but re iterations WOW for the past decade" simply that people are buying up preorders and making it worth their while to do it? If the game doesn't do well, at least they recouped their losses. If the game does well, they make bank. The MMO gamers are driving this train. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that magically the rules of commerce do not apply to the game industry.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Well no matter what have been done or what EA did or did not do i am not entierky sure that Mythic would have done much of anything without EA. Sure DAoC have a stable (and by now slightly rabid) fanbase but it is not the biggest one in the world and i am not sure they would have had the funds to make much outside of keeping it rolling without EA money.
As for WAR... Well that was a pretty bad idea to begin with and it did not get any better as time went by. It seems to me that there was in essence two games being made and then sticthed together.... Becuase on their own each part have the potential of a good game, they are just underdeveloped.
But back on topic, is mythic dead... Yes, that is what happens when you join the EA hive mind. It is the price you pay for solid funding and one of the worlds best publishing networks.
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.
This have been a good conversation

New York-born, Massachusetts-bred singer/songwriter Willy Mason has a busy summer planned, as he will be joining Mumford and Sons on their Gentlemen of the Road festival tour.
Mason came into 2013 on a roll, too, with the December 2012 release of his third album Carry On.
Mason recently stopped by the Gretsch Showroom in London to perform a few songs from that record, and his distinctive voice lends itself well to accompaniment from his Gretsch Electromatic guitar.

GREENVILLE, S.C. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior Kayla Christopher (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) hit a jumper with 1:07 to play then iced the game with a pair of free throws less than a minute later to give the Lady Mocs a 60-57 win over Furman in Southern Conference women's basketball action Saturday afternoon at Timmons Arena.
Chattanooga junior Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) put in a layup at the 2:21 mark to give the Lady Mocs the lead for good at 56-55. On the other end of the court, UTC grabbed a defensive board after a miss by Sarah Durdaller and then drew a Paladin foul.
Down the court, the Lady Mocs missed a jumper and a 3-point attempt but was able to grab both offensive rebounds to kick it out to Christopher for the jumper to go up 58-55.
Furman's Brittany Hodges made it to the free throw line with 34 seconds to play, drawing the Paladins to within one at 58-57. However, Christopher would make both of her free throws with 15 seconds to play for the final score. Brittany Hodges' last second 3-pointer from deep fell short and the Lady Mocs would come away with their 10th SoCon victory.
Chattanooga improved to 17-3 overall and 10-1 in league action while the Paladins fall to 8-12 on the year and 4-7 against the SoCon.
Neither team was able to get out to more than a three- or four-point lead throughout the first half and Chattanooga battled to a 32-30 halftime lead.
The start of the second half was all Furman as the Paladins went on a 9-0 run for its largest lead of the game at 39-32 with 15:12 to play. Junior Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) ended the scoring drought with a short jumper to kick off an 11-2 run for UTC to put the Lady Mocs up 43-41 with 10:11 on the clock.
The lead bounced back and forth over the remainder of the half to include three ties and four lead changes. UTC outscored Furman 11-5 over the final 4:38 for the win.
Christopher was 5-12 from the field with two 3-pointers and was 4-of-4 from the free throw line down the stretch to lead the Lady Mocs with 16 points. Dewart was 6-of-9 for 13 points and three rebounds. Freshman Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) had eight points while juniors Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) and Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) and sophomore Ka'Vonne Towns each tossed in six points. Towns had a team-best five rebounds as did senior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.).
Furman was led by Brittany Hodges went 10-of-18 from the free throw line for a a game-high 18 points and just missed a double-double with nine rebounds. Teshia Griswold put in 15 points while Sarah Durdaller posted a game-high 10 rebounds.
Furman outrebounded Chattanooga 32-27 and held the advantage in the paint 24-16 while the Lady Mocs forced 21 Paladin turnovers resulting in 24 points. UTC's bench outpaced Furman 19-10 and the Lady Mocs scored six points off nine offensive rebounds compared to five points off nine boards for Furman.

Joel Zmuda lends smooth vocals to 'Holiday Wishes 3' CD trackWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
During a summer taping of a New Year's Eve special, holiday inspiration struck.
Michael S. Miller, Toledo Free Press editor in chief and executive producer of the Make-A-Wish Foundation benefit CD "Holiday Wishes 3: If You Believe," was serving as emcee for a Johnny Knorr Orchestra television special when he first heard Joel Zmuda sing.
"He sang a Bobby Darin song, and even though it was summer, all I could think about was asking him to record Darin's 'Christmas Auld Lang Syne' for the CD," Miller said. "His voice and phrasing were perfect for the song. I caught up with him as the band was clearing the stage and asked."
Singer and musician Zmuda had never heard the song before Miller asked him to sing it for the CD.
"The version he asked me to take a look at was Bobby Darin's with the symphony orchestra and choir," Zmuda said. "I decided I would try that with my own style. I wrote an arrangement. … I performed it and produced it and did all the work on it and it's all me."
Zmuda, a big-band singer, created two versions of the song, trying to get as close as possible to the original recording. It took a couple of weeks in the studio to get just the right sound, he said.
"I always wonder what people think [of the recording] because you need a sounding board," said Zmuda, who asked his friends to listen to the finished product. "They were shocked that I was doing that. They thought it turned out really great."
Zmuda, who sings for 17-piece big bands, said he hopes his talents on the CD will bring people together.
"It's all about family," he said. "We're doing this as a way for family and the community to join in together. It just seems really positive and brings everyone together."
"Christmas Auld Lang Syne" is an emotional song that should resonate and connect with listeners and help them through good and bad times, Zmuda said.
"Hopefully [listeners] can find the heart of it all, and it helps them through whatever times they have," he said.
Zmuda said he has a smooth voice and calls himself the "Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr." of the local area, where he sings with the Monroe Big Band and others. He learned to play the keyboards before preschool and was playing drums by age 10. Later, he joined several bands.
"I've played in a number of groups around town since the '80s," the automotive engineer said. "I have a smoother sounding voice and learned to adapt how I sing into that style of [big-band] music. I do like jazz, too."
Zmuda said he believes everyone has talents and abilities, and he tries to use his to promote music. He is also involved in a Toledo School for the Arts fundraiser.
"It's very humbling to use your talents to help someone," he said.
The CD is available at several locations at Levis Commons and the gift shop at ProMedica Flower Hospital.

I flew in from San Francisco to visit my daughter and transportation was frozen leaving JFK. The owner was so patient to accommodate my arrival at 1am. The rooms are immaculate and still comfy. The breakfast was fresh and continental. I was enamored of all the beautiful art work and enjoyed that the artist was in house!
I booked another note in the larger room and the owner asked me to invite my daughter over for breakfast. I often view my trips to NY as stressful but I was pleasantly surprised of how I was able to walk the area and find such solstice. If someone whom appreciates art, luxury and historical intimacy this is the place for you. -M.Stewart

Chrystie House is a delightful mansion in Beacon, NY. The owner, Yuan Lee, is a world-renowned illustrator with a passion for American history. Mr. Lee is happy to regale his guests with stories of the American history- he knows a great deal about the life of founding father William Few. Each morning, breakfast is served hot: fresh croissants, blueberry scones, and quiche are on the table with a glass of fresh orange juice and a mug of coffee. The B&B is decorated with many of Mr. Lee's paintings and illustrations.

Chrystie House is a beautifully restored colonial home with all modern conveniences and complete cleanliness. The innkeeper was extremely attentive and served us with a delicious fresh breakfast of fruit, quiche and croissants. I would definitely return.

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast; we were unsure but after our experience at the Chrystie House we wished we lived closer and could visit more often - share this experience with our children, family and friends. The house was full of history and we have not slept so comfortably since I can remember. We enjoyed our conversations with the inn keeper, Yuan and his home was full of goodness and grace; I'm a tough customer and every night I was happy to return after our day out.
My husband and I easily found many things to do in Beacon. We had the fortunate timing to enjoy the strawberry festival; many displays from local farmer's markets, craftsmen and music; an abundance of things for kids to do and participate in. We strolled the downtown area, taking in the galleries and local shops. The Roundhouse was a perfect stop for a scenic lunch from a gourmet hot dog to the ceviche I loved, and several craft beers to sample. We drove around enjoying the area and exploring its history. We found beautiful parks, remnants of turn of the century industry - really loved that, amazing being in a place where so much American history originated . At night the Newburgh waterfront was a 10 minute drive with riverside patio seating at impressive restaurants and bars - from fine dining to casual. And at the end of your day or to relax for a bit in the afternoon I can honestly say the Chrystie House is where you should return - we just loved it.
For a small town like Beacon you will easily find things to do from the time you check in until it is time for you to return home.

If, like me, you're no fan of cookie-cutter plastic hotels then you'll enjoy Chrystie House. It is a very old historic building with original character that the Innkeeper maintains and supports. If you're expecting to find a receptionist, concierge and head chef then you'll be disappointed, at Chrystie House, you're staying at Yuan Lee's. He's an artist by nature and his vibrant personality is imprinted everywhere in the rooms in the form of pictures that he has created, the well stocked book shelves and the extra twist you'll need to give the faucet to stop it dripping.
I give you my honest review because I think that simply hitting 5 stars for everything detracts from the nature of Chrystie House - it's not perfect, it's far from the glitz of a 5-star manhattan hotel and much, much better for it.
Overall, we loved our stay and would consider Yuan Lee as a friend that we stay with in Beacon.

I adored the owner's deep intelligence, exquisite taste and talent for art and most importantly for me, conversation! This was a low key luxury experience for me. And I was there for one evening only in October of 2010. He was very gracious and helpful. I truly hope more people continue to stay at this lovely inn.

This B&B, in a historic, colonial style, painstakingly restored house was a real treat. The home is beautifully furnished with museum quality furnishings, antiques, and new period furniture. The owner, is a talented artist, a knowledgable historian, and a great conversationalist. Our room was very spacious with a king bed, wood burning fireplace and huge bathroom with original tiles and rain shower head. From the huge windows, we overlooked the four landscaped acres of trees and gardens. Very quiet and peaceful sleeping! If you don't have a car, it's a quick taxi ride from the train station, and to the quaint main street of Beacon for shops, restaurants, etc. You could walk both as well. Great breakfast provided daily. If you're looking for a quiet, elegant retreat in a tranquil setting with an attentive innkeeper who makes you feel welcome and at home, this is your place!

This charming, newly renovated 19th Century home was the perfect place to stay, away from the city for the weekend. The furniture, artwork, architecture, was elegant and meticulously designed. The service by our host was warm and welcoming . My husband and I stayed in the Henry Winthrop room and it had all the basic amenities. The room and bathroom had windows with views of the property. We felt like we were brought back in time. We highly recommend staying here!

Chrystie House is a dream come true. My girlfriend and I had come to Beacon without many expectations and our stay at Chrystie House turned it into a truly memorable experience. The history of the house (home of one of the Founding Fathers), how perfectly it has been renovated and decorated (just take a look at the pictures and you'll see the level of detail and care), the gorgeous grounds, the attention of the owner- a formidable artist with a clear passion for Bed&Breakfast and Chrystie House, the comfort of the room (fantastic bed, and I am very picky!), delicious breakfast...all of the above make Chrystie House a MUST if you visit Beacon and plan on spending a night or two.

Crozes-H Cuvee Laurent 13 Combier 6/75(6x75cl)
Almost opaque with a purple hue, this is classic syrah from the Northern Rhone. Rich and spicy on the nose with an underlying savoury quality, the palate is rich and spicy too,
with ripe approachable tannins. The finish is long, smooth and velvety.
2013 Crozes Hermitage Rouge, Domaine Combier(6x75cl)
Spectacularly deep and dark in colour with an almost silky sheen. The nose is a complex melange of fruit, secondary aromas like tar and leather and a touch of spicy oak. This is echoed on the palate. The tannins are firm but ripe and elegant and the finish is extremely long and fine.
2012 Crozes Hermitage Clos des Grives, Domaine Combier(6x75cl)
Clos de Grives is wonderfully vibrant in colour with a rich complex nose of chocolate and mocha underlaid by intense fruit character and a hint of tobacco. The tannins and the oak are wonderfully well integrated and the finish is a joy, a rare mixture of complexity, concentration and elegance.

Our GFCF Story
It turns out six months of worsening diarrhea and illness had destroyed his gut flora and the antibiotic injection wiped it out completely. Changing his diet and giving him probiotics and enzymes has turned him from a perpetually sick boy with a verbal processing delay and red cheeks and a blistering diaper rash to a perpetually healthy bright talkative boy without any developmental problems (that we know about :).)
This blog is our story of his recovery and how other people in our family also got better through dietary intervention.
At 11 months, my son started projectile vomiting, I thought it was a stomach virus. Days later it was a strange blistery diaper rash that wouldn't heal. At the same time, he developed a cold and cough that never went away. An ear infection, then another cold. Then another blistery diaper rash. The whole time he never napped for more than 1/2 an hour or 45 minutes during the day and he still didn't sleep through the night. And his diapers smelled worse and worse. When he was on milk, he was severely constipated, when he wasn't on milk he had diarrhea.
At 15 months I consulted two allergists and a GI doctor about what I thought was a milk allergy. They told me he wasn't allergic to milk and there was nothing wrong. At 17 months I told my husband to bring my son's dirty diaper into the pediatrician because something was wrong with it. Then he got a high fever which led to the antibiotic injection and subsequent personality change.
I put him on the gluten free, casein free immediately and told my doctor that I needed to see a GI doctor because I suspected his developmental issues were driven by the months of worsening diarrhea. I have consulted many doctors about his illness and recovery. In the process I have acquired a huge amount of information on celiac disease, food intolerances and nutrition.
It turns out my son and my daughter both have two genes (DQ2/DQ8) for celiac disease and all the symptoms of celiac which resolve on a gluten free diet.
I say I turned heaven and earth to get my son better and it worked. The most important thing I would like to share with parents is that the gluten free, casein free AND SOY FREE diet works. It doesn't work for everyone, but it worked for us. It saved my son's life. He went from no words, no mama no dada at 18 months to "Mom, I am a musician...What is a musician?" at 3 years old.

I have SUCH a similar story with my 15 month old who lost the ability to speak, wave, blow kisses, etc. He has just started with a DAN! doctor and I'm hoping for good results. I put him on the GFCF diet one month ago and I haven't seen results. If anything, he's become worse. The one positive is that his bowels are SO much better than before (chronic diarrhea). I just wonder if I'm doing something wrong with the diet. Any thoughts on hidden sources of bad ingredients? Soy? Sugar? He still has soy ingredients and some sugar ingredients. Everything I buy for him is labeled gluten and casein free. Thanks in advance. -Mommy2KylerPrint this post

We're so very glad to find your blog! My daughter didn't exhibit any developmental delays, but the physical symptoms were severe. She started puking one day and didn't stop for over a month. She never slept for more than an hour to two hours at a stretch. We had traded thrush back and forth when I was nursing her until we had to stop breastfeeding at 11 months. Finally, she became so constipated that we had to get x-rays and an enema. At this point, we gave up on getting a medical diagnosis and we pulled her back to the most basic diet we could imagine. By adding foods back slowly, we discovered gluten, gliadin and dairy were the problems. -- JFrance www.feedingbecca.blogspot.comPrint this post

I have also joined the gfcf journey. I have seen great improvements. And your story hits a cord. It sounds like my battle since the birth of my older son. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster that family members have stepped back and looked at me like I was crazy. I still get the lack of support from family, as if this choice is an easy one that I just plucked out of the air. I KNOW it is improving my son's speech, hypotonia, fogginess, etc. He was diagnosed with high-functioning autistic and apraxia. He also has vision issues- lazy eye, droopy eyelid. He is scheduled for his second surgery, the first was at 3. I am scared this may set him back. Do you know if surgery can cause our kids to regress?Print this post

I got goose bumps reading your story. You are awesome and I am so glad to find out about more moms who make their children's health a priority and find a way to make them better. Good for you!!Print this post
My daughter started having rashes and ezcema at just 4 weeks old. She never had any form of developmental delays or delayed growth though. It was purely physical, and mostly skin related issues.
Since I was breastfeeding I changed my diet and eliminated gluten because my midwife suggested eliminating wheat since it's a common allegen. That helped but then I eventually started eating it again and we both got sick!
When she was 12 months old we found out that we both have celiac disease and that on top of that, my daughter has severe food allergies. It was a journey finding it all out but now we know and she is doing so much better.
Her symptoms were mostly skin related, she had dermatitis herpetiformis (a dermatitis that can affect those with celiac disease) but once that got beter, she still had ezcema which was related to her food allergies.
After going gluten-free, we found that wasn't quite enough for us and we are now grain-free (no rice or corn)
Anyways, it's always inspiring to read others stories and I am glad to find another gluten-free, allergy-free mom blog too!

Our son (now 7 1/2 and a chatterbox) has such a similar story---got a stomach virus at around 15 months, terrible diaper rashes after that, awake overnight complaining, speech regression, irritability---found out at 3 1/2 (after tons of research on my part and a visit to allergist in which he tested positive to everything--huge red flag for us but not too much concern from allergist) that he has celiac. He was severly anemic also.Print this post
So thankful we found out when we did! I'm happy to have found your blog!! Keep telling your story!

I haven't read all the posts, but if your child is still experiencing loose bowels, then it is not all in your head and no your child will not grow out of it. This is what I was told about our son for 2 years. I was hoping to convince the doctors that his symptoms were enough reason to do a biopsy to confirm he was a celiac. The doctors did not agree. He has the DQ8 gene and I am a celiac too. I did the elimination diet with him at 3 years old, within one week his bowels were normal. I figured out the other allergies as all forms of corn, dairy, citrus and reduce vegetable oils as they are in so many foods (crackers, cookies, bread). I put him back on gluten for 1 month to prove I was right. Within 1 week, his bowels went back to messy, his behaviour was scattered with problems focusing and following directions. Now 8 years old, he has been doing the celiac diet and avoiding the other foods for 4 years as a very happy, healthy and capable boy. Just realize you will get through this, you are a Mum or a Dad who knows her child and take a day at a time, you will figure out your child's situation. Keep a food diary, I did for 2 years, listing every meal, every day while tracking pee and bowel activity. Remember, not all doctors know everything, so find out as much as you can and advocate for your child because they are all you have. take care and all the best. xoPrint this post

Santa and this reindeer were caught flying over Antlers during the holidays. Santa was seen making his stops and double checking his list of the naughty and nice boys and girls in Pushmataha County. He told the staff of The Antlers American to wish all of our readers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
After the winter storm hit our area many events that were scheduled to take place did not happen as planned. Santa's Workshop, that was supposed to take place Friday and Saturday, was completely canceled and at this time is not planned to be rescheduled. Other events that will not take place include: pictures with Santa, Santa's Little Helpers Christmas pageant and Rudolph bingo.
The $1000 Shop Local drawing, Christmas parade and fireworks display will be rescheduled but at this time no date has been set.
Governor Mary Fallin has declared a State of Emergency for all 77 Oklahoma counties due to the winter storm impacting the state.
Because the weather included prolonged sub-freezing temperatures, dangerous road conditions and power outages, emergency management authorities recommended issuing this declaration before the full brunt of the storm arrived.
Governor Fallin warns Oklahomans to stay off the roads if at all possible and use extreme caution if you have to drive.
In the aftermath of winter storm Cleon, residents and workers in Pushmataha County are working diligently to get our community as close to back to normal as possible.
Trees and power lines throughout the area were snapped under the weight of the ice that accumulated on them during the storm. Residents began loosing power as early as Thursday night and some still are without power at this time. Power crews are still working around the clock to get them restored.
Winter weather has hit Pushmataha County quicker than expected. Reports have came in that vehicles have already started to lose control on the highways and one has already flipped, trapping the driver.
Do NOT get out on the roads if it is not 100% necessary! Stay home and stay safe. The weather is supposed to continue to get worse as the day gives way to night and more rain and sleet comes our way.
The Christmas parade and firework display that was scheduled for Friday night, December 6, 2013, has been re-scheduled for Friday, December 13, 2013. The event was re-scheduled due to impending bad weather that is supposed to hit the area Thursday night and continue into Friday, making for undesirable conditions for the parade and fireworks.
November 2012-November 2013
Several events will take place around the county as residents gear up for the holiday season. They include parades, shop local campaigns, pageants and a fireworks display.
A woman was arrested over the weekend with charges against her for being a fugitive from justice. Amanda Dean Smith, 33 of Haskell, was taken to jail in Pushmataha County on a warrant from Lamar County, Texas, for uttering a forged financial instrument and then fleeing from justice.
Smith had a bond of $9,999.00 set and will go in front of Judge Jana Wallace on December 11, 2013 for her preliminary hearing.
During U.S. wartime, the draft process limited many young men's ability to complete and graduate from high school. Many only completed lower to upper elementary grades.
In honor of their service, at the half-time of Moyers High School boy's basketball game, five veterans from varying branches of military service and varying military experiences, were presented with high school diplomas and became honorary members of the 2014 Moyers High School graduating class. The five veterans' military service obligations include World War II, Vietnam, and Korean.

The leader of the local Episcopal Church authority filed suit in federal court Tuesday against the Rt. Rev. Mark Lawrence, bishop of the independent Diocese of South Carolina, in a counter-offensive meant to resolve an identity dispute.
The Rt. Rev. Charles vonRosenberg, provisional bishop of the "continuing diocese," which has temporarily adopted the name "The Episcopal Church in South Carolina," is claiming that Lawrence, who left The Episcopal Church in October, is not authorized to use the diocese's name and seal.
A similar argument was made by Lawrence and his independent diocese in January when a separate lawsuit was filed in South Carolina Circuit Court claiming ownership of the name, seal and property of the diocese and accusing The Episcopal Church of trying to "hijack" the buildings and diocesan identity. Judge Diane Goodstein of the 1st Judicial Circuit imposed a temporary injunction in January preventing the continuing diocese from using the name and marks of the independent diocese.
Officials of the independent diocese have argued that their organization predates The Episcopal Church and is the only real "Diocese of South Carolina." Diocese officials said they could not comment before seeing the suit. But they have strongly defended their right to retain use of the name and marks. The identity of the Diocese of South Carolina has not changed, they have said, only the circumstances of its relationship to The Episcopal Church.
"The Episcopal Church is more than free to establish a new diocese in South Carolina," the Rev. Jim Lewis, canon to the ordinary, said in January. "What the court (injunction) says, though, is that they can't do that and claim to be us."
Episcopal Church officials, instead, have argued that a diocese is an extension of the church. Dioceses can be created, changed or dissolved only by General Convention, the church's comprehensive governing body. Whole dioceses cannot "leave" the church, officials insist. Only people can leave.
While the suit does not address the issue of property directly, the matter of who controls certain church assets could be resolved if a district judge decides in favor of the continuing diocese, according to its press release. The ownership of individual parish properties possibly would be resolved separately.
"The intention of this suit is straightforward," vonRosenberg said in a statement. "We are asking the court to determine who is authorized to serve as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina."
The continuing diocese is arguing that The Episcopal Church is hierarchical, "governed by a common authority, the General Convention, with regional bodies — dioceses — that are subordinate, and individual parishes and missions that are subordinate to their dioceses."
The independent diocese defines its church body differently: a diocese is merely a group of parishes and missions functioning under the authority of a bishop.
Four other dioceses have attempted to break away from The Episcopal Church in recent years, as well as several individual parishes. Over the decades, courts have typically ruled against breakaway groups, affirming the argument that the church is hierarchical and that property is held in trust according to canon law.
There have been exceptions, including one case involving a South Carolina parish, All Saints Church on Pawleys Island. The S.C. Supreme Court ruled that the congregation of All Saints could retain its property, citing an unusual deed transfer that occurred more than a century earlier.
The independent diocese now is hoping that precedent will aid it in its fight.
Editor's Note: A previous version of this article, published March 6, has been clarified to distinguish between court cases involving four breakaway diocese (three of which are not yet concluded, and one of which settled out of court) and breakaway cases in general.

A local restaurant was robbed early this morning and police are looking for the assailant.
At about 2:30 a.m., a man walked into the Huddle House on Richland Avenue and told employees he was armed, though he never presented a weapon, according to Sgt. Jake Mahoney with Aiken Public Safety.
The man left with an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register and fled the scene, Mahoney said.
One employee was struck in the mouth, but did not require transportation to any medical facility, Mahoney said.
The assailant was described as a black male wearing a dark gray hoodie, a red T-shirt and light gray sweatpants.

IOWA WESTERN'S MARC RARDIN WINS 500thMay 10, 2013
Muscatine, Iowa – Iowa Western Baseball's 42nd win of the season was anything but ordinary on Friday afternoon. Muscatine gave the Reivers all they could handle in Round 1 of the Region XI postseason tournament, but IW pulled out a 7-4 come from behind victory. Not only did the win keep Coach Marc Rardin's squad in the winner's bracket, but the win was also the 500th in his career. After the game, Rardin said about the mark, "500 wins in 11 years shows me that the program works. The recruits, the way we teach, the emphasis on academics and the way kids handle themselves and go on to become successful in life. Some Coaches say, 'well it's only a number', but to me, it's pretty cool." Rardin took over in 2003 and now has a career mark of 500-155. He has guided the Reivers to the Junior College World Series in Grand Junction, Colorado 7 times in 10 seasons, including National Championships in 2010 and 2012. Iowa Western continues Region XI play tomorrow morning, looking for their 9th straight region title.

I watched my son pick up my iPhone last week, turn it on, and swipe his finger around until he found the App I had downloaded for my kids (Firefly) and play it. I was fascinated by this because I've never specifically taught him to do this and I don't really want my phone to be used as a toy. I was also kind of proud that he was so technologically comfortable. Then his twin sister grabbed it from him and ran away so I had to intervene.
It occurred to me that there are some devices that do make parenting and family-life easier and that I rely on them more than I realized. Take the iPhone which is now loaded with five Apps for pre-schoolers that I use to keep them occupied when we have an especially long wait somewhere and I need them in one spot. My other favorite is Skype. We live many states away from our family and friends but use Skype Video Chat to check in with them at least once a week. We even opened Christmas presents to the kidlets over Skype Video so my parents could see them open their gifts. It meant a lot to all of us and made the holidays more holiday-like even though we weren't actually in the same room with our families.

Rec Rules
1. Rules of Play
All rules for playing the game shall conform to FIFA "Laws of the Game". These laws are updated yearly and we will follow the most current release. Visit www.fifa.com to find the latest rules. South Mississippi Soccer Club (SMSC) will post exceptions to the "Laws of the Game" that pertain only to SMSC club games, club tournament and other such designated games. These exceptions will also differ for the different age groups within SMSC. In any case of conflict, we will rely on the "Laws of the Game" to get the official "Laws of the Game". SMSC has followed MYSA direction and is using "Small Sided Play". "Small Sided Play" means teams do not use the traditional 11v11 format that is used in the professional soccer world.
The following team and field sizes will be used:
- U5-U6 = 4v4, Field 25yd x 20yd
- U7-U8 = 5v5, Field 50yd x 30yd
- U10 = 6v6, Field 60yd x 40yd
- U12 = 8v8, Field 70yd x 45yd
- U14 and up = 11v11
2. Registration
Registration for all players in SMSC will be conducted through our Registrar. Registration will be advertised and continue for a set period that may vary from year to year. Typically, registration starts in August and concludes in mid September. Team formation occurs in early October. Fees my increase or decrease from year to year based on any number of factors such as season length, MYSA dues, insurance, referee fees, uniform cost, equipment purchases and other factors. Any player who registers with SMSC will be placed on a team.
Teams are formed from three (3) sub-pools within SMSCs domain. Sub-pools are Gulfport (South of I-10), Orange Grove (Gulfport north of I-10 and Harrison county) and Long Beach-Pass Christian. Sub-pools are used to try to form teams with children who know each other and attend the same schools as well as cut down the distances required to attend practice.
Late registration will be accepted with a late fee and if openings exist on formed teams, the child will be placed on a team. If teams are already at maximum players allowed in your sub-pool you may be offered a team in another sub-pool that is short players.
3. Age Groups
Age groups for team formation are as follows: U5, U6, U7, U8, U10, U12, U14, U16 and U19. U16 and U19 registration does not occur until later in the year (after High School season is over). Further division between Boys and Girls starts at the U7 age group. For U5 and U6 ages, SMSC plays boys and girls together. For U7 and up, single gender teams are formed.
4. Season
SMSC will schedule a regular season and tournaments. Regular season play will consist of a fixed number of games, all played on Saturdays, at the County Farm Soccer Complex. The season has typically been a minimum of twelve games and as many as 15. We have traditionally started in November with the Turkey Shootout Tournament as one the first times for teams to play.
The regular season may start in early November with 6 to 7 games being played before we take off for Christmas coming back in January to finish the rest of the games. Our club tournament is set two weeks before the MYSA Southern District Tournament which is usually in April.
The teams that win at the MYSA Southern District Tournament continue on to the Tide Cup for the State Championship which might be in early May. All Star selection and participation can take SMSC players to games all the way to July.
5. Roster, Transfer and Release
Roster and Transfer will conform to MYSA:
Player Release will conform to MYSA:
Team Formation
Teams are formed by SMSC Board members before the season starts. Information found on the registration forms filled in by the parent/guardian at the time of registration is all the information that the board members have to classify each childs abilities. Team formation by SMSC tries to make the teams as even as possible.
The information asked for on the registration form includes:
- Age
- Years played
- Skill level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Highly Advanced)
- Other soccer played (High School/Varsity, All Star, Select)
Using these factors, teams are formed to try to distribute the talent evenly. Teams are allowed to roster two players regardless of skill by having the coach and assistant coaches children on the same team. After these children are put on the roster the number of teams will be determined by the number of players available in each of the three (3) sub-pools (Gulfport, Long Beach/Pass Christian, Orange Grove) and the teams will be formed using the rest of the registrations.
Inter-season transfer from one team to another is highly discouraged. Teams are formed to even talent and to allow one player to leave a team for another requires a request to the SMSC Board and a vote on the matter. Teams whose players quit, stop coming, move away and fall below the necessary number needed to play games will be assigned to other teams to allow them to continue playing. If two teams have this happen in the same age group, the teams may be combined into one team to allow the children to continue playing. At no time will any roster exceed two times the number of players per team allowed on the field during a game.
Post-season Transfer
SMSC has allowed teams who qualify for District whose rosters have fallen below field (the number of players per team allowed on the field during a game) + 2, to add players from other SMSC teams who failed to qualify for District. These transfers must go through the SMSC Registrar and need to be submitted to MYSA two weeks before the District Tournament to allow the added players to be eligible. Verification of players removed from the initial roster will be made to insure that no player who wants to continue playing is removed against their will.
6. Substitutions
ALL PLAYERS ON A ROSTER AND ATTENDING A GAME MUST PLAY AT LEAST 50% OF THE GAME. This is the overriding mandate of Recreational Soccer. Do not allow your child to be cheated out of his/her required playing time. If your child is not allowed to play 50%, you should immediately find the Field Marshall, Head Referee, or a Board Member of SMSC and report it. Exceptions to this rule are players who are serving Red card suspensions, a child who may have an illness which does not allow him to play but still attend, and other disciplinary actions from either the coach or the parents. All the mentioned exceptions should be reported to the Referee before play starts. The Referee should note the exceptions and inform the opposing coach before play starts and the SMSC Head Referee after the game.
Games will be played only with players on the official roster. No guest players are allowed during club play. All SMSC games will be played in quarters. All substitutions will take place during the quarter breaks. The exception to this rule is an injured player may be substituted during the middle of a quarter. The Referee will also allow the opposing team to substitute one player at the discretion of the coach for any child replaced because of injury in a quarter. Any player who is removed for injury may be allowed to re-enter the game at the next quarter break. If possible, try to make sure the 50% rule is meet.
7. Length of Games, Overtime, and Ball Size
Game length will be determined by the age group playing. No stoppage time will be added because of injury or delays in play.
- U5 and U6 will play eight (8) minute quarters.
- U7 and U8 will play ten (10) minute quarters.
- U10 will play twelve (12) minute quarters.
- U12 will play fifteen (15) minute quarters.
- U14 will play seventeen (17) minute quarters.
No overtimes will be played in any regular season games.
Ball size is determined by age group.
- U5 – U8 = Size 3
- U10 – U12 = Size 4
- U14 and up = Size 5
SMSC does NOT supply a ball for each child that registers. SMSC has typically supplied the Coach with one or two practice balls and a "Game Ball". These are for use by the team but it is up to the parent or guardian of the child to supply their child with the appropriate size ball. Practices are accomplished much easier when each child has their own ball.
8. Uniforms
All players on the Roster will receive a complete uniform. A complete set includes jersey, shorts and socks. Any player not receiving a complete uniform should inform the coach of any deficiencies. Uniforms will be numbered from 1 to the number of jerseys per team. Sizes for uniforms will be determined from registration forms and orders placed using that information. SMSC tries very hard to have uniforms for every child before the season starts but exceptions do happen. All efforts will be made to get your child a complete uniform. Names on uniforms are not included and must be paid for by the team. Sponsorship logos are applied after SMSC receives the sponsors check. Jersey colors can be chosen by the coach, only if the team has a sponsor and the sponsor has paid before the uniform order is made. Jersey colors will be limited by the manufacturer. All shorts will be black. Socks will match the jersey. SMSC has typically supplied one Goalie jersey for the team to share. It is the responsibility of the Coach to keep track of this special jersey for use on game days.
SMSC does not supply cleats or shin guards. The purchase of these items is the sole responsibility of the parents or guardian of the child. NO CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH OUT SHIN GUARDS. The shin guard policy extends to practice time as well as games. Cleats are optional but highly recommended.
9. Teams
Teams will be formed to conform with MYSA:
The number of teams in each age group and sub-pool will be dependant on the number of registrations. Team sizes will vary with age group.
10. Participation
ALL PLAYERS ON A ROSTER AND ATTENDING A GAME MUST PLAY AT LEAST 50% OF THE GAME. This is the overriding mandate of Recreational Soccer. Do not allow your child to be cheated out of his/her required playing time. If your child is not allowed to play 50%, you should immediately find the Field Marshall, Head Referee, or a Board Member of SMSC and report it. Exceptions to this rule are players who are serving Red card suspensions, a child who may have an illness which does not allow him to play but still attend, and other disciplinary actions from either the coach or the parents. All the mentioned exceptions should be reported to the Referee before play starts. The Referee should note the exceptions and inform the opposing coach before play starts and the SMSC Head Referee after the game.
11. Red Card Infraction Penalties
Players that receive a Red card or cumulative Red card, ie. two yellows in the same game, will be removed from the current game and will be required to sit out the next regularly scheduled game as well. Straight Red, Sending-off Offenses (Laws of the Game, Law 12), will result in a report being sent to the 1st Vice President, Disciplinary committee, and possible additional action added to the mandatory 1 (one) game suspension. Cumulative Red cards, two yellows, while serious enough to warrant a 1 game suspension, will not generally come before the Disciplinary committee for further action.
Coaches who are ejected from a game will incur a one game (or more) suspension of the next scheduled game. All coach ejections will automatically come before the Disciplinary committee for review and possible further sanctions as per the MSA "Code of Ethics".
Players serving a suspension must report to the game referee before play commences and the referee will then report that the player did meet the one game suspension requirements. After the game is over the player will then be returned to an eligible status and be available for the next game. Failure to report to the referee before the game starts will not remove the one game suspension which will carry over to the next scheduled game.
Coaches will report to the Head referee or SMSC official before the start of the next game to serve their suspension. Failure to do so will not fulfill the suspension requirements and the suspension will carry over to the next game.
12. Representatives to MYSA Year End Tournaments
All teams are encouraged to participate in the SMSC Club Tournament. All teams, no matter what the regular season record, can participate. The winner and the runner-up teams in each age group and gender are guaranteed a berth in the MYSA Southern District Tournament. Additionally, the third and fourth place teams may be asked to participate. The tournament moves around every year so some travel may be required with an overnight stay possible. All tournaments are two days and will require play on Sunday. If your team places first or second in the SMSC Club Tournament, SMSC expects that team to participate in the MYSA Southern District Tournament and the Tide Cup if the team advances. No funds from MYSA will be used to help teams travel to these events. All expenses will be covered by the team itself.
13. Tournament Participation
The Turkey Shootout, Great Day of Soccer Girls Tournament and the Club Tournament are all optional tournaments and not required. The Club Tournament is free and open to all SMSC teams, regardless of regular season record. All teams are encouraged to participate and compete for the "Season Championship". If you participate and qualify for the MYSA District Tournament, you are expected to represent SMSC. Only the most dire circumstances will excuse a team from district play.
14. Officiating
All games will have some form of "Officiating". U5-U8 will have Coaches on the field enforcing the rules and encouraging the players. The Coaches will also be responsible for keeping the quarters to the allowed time. U10 and up will have paid referees supplied by SMSC and assigned by the Head Referee. Each game with referees will have three referees, a Referee and two Assistant Referees (AR). The Referee will be on the field with the players and is the senior official present. The ARs will be off the field and on opposite sides of the field watching for balls over the line as well as infractions on the field. The AR can make calls just like the Referee but the Referee has over-rule capability and has the final decision on any calls made. Time will be kept by the Referee on the field.
15. Forfeits, Postponements, and Rainouts
All Coaches are responsible for getting game times to their players and parents. Game times and schedules will be posted on the SMSC web site as soon as they are available. Changes to the schedules can occur due to factors such as weather, tournament scheduling, team reformation and other things. Check the schedule often and make sure you are going by the latest version.
Any team not playing at their assigned time without prior dispensation will forfeit that game which will be recorded as a loss. While this is not a big deal for your regular season record, it does have a negative quality. First, you are depriving two teams the opportunity to play soccer. That is what everyone signed up for and we strive to have the best soccer experience for every player in SMSC. Second, if referees have been assigned to the game, they get paid. This monetary loss for no reason might have been avoided by a phone call to a commissioner the day before with the possibility of rescheduling.
Blatant disregard of the rules can result in a FORFEIT. For example: A Coach does not play two players 50% of a game in an attempt to gain an advantage by sitting the weaker players. Not only will a forfeit be assessed but the Coach will be brought before the Disciplinary Committee for further action.
Official Postponements and Rainouts will be rescheduled if possible. Rescheduling might involve as few as two teams or the entire league. Single game days might turn into double-headers in the case of a rainout. Check with your commissioner and the web site for any revised schedules.
16. Discipline
Any infraction of the rules, Laws of the Game, or other situations might result in disciplinary action being taken against the offending Parent, Coach, Player, relative or Fan. MYSA has issued a Code of Ethics (section 4.6), which will be used to by SMSC as a guide for the Disciplinary Committee when any matter comes before it.
17. Protests
Protests of regular season games will not be allowed. Protests, by definition, are made when a Coach, team, or player feels that the Referee has made a call contrary to the "Laws of the Game" as defined by FIFA. At the level of soccer that we play, we strive to have all the rules followed to the letter but since we already have imposed our own rules over the "Laws of the Game", protests of SMSC rules versus FIFA "Laws of the Game" will not be allowed. We will listen to any complaints of rules interpretations and attempt to clarify to the Referee, Coach, Team, or parent what the SMSC policy is. The Head Referee will be the first person available to answer any questions at any scheduled game day.
If a RULES violation is reported to the Referee, Head Referee, Field Marshall, Tournament Director or Board Member, it is not considered a "Protest". Any reporting of such violations will be considered on a case-by-case basis. An example of this would be reporting that a Coach had not followed the "50% Playing Time" rule.
18. Boundaries
The boundaries of SMSC will be within Harrison and Hancock County, Mississippi. Any other organizations protected by Mississippi Youth Soccer Association within these counties are recognized. SMSC contains within its area Gulfport, MS; Long Beach, MS; Pass Christian, MS; and large areas of unincorporated Harrison County, MS; north of the listed cities including Lyman, MS; and Saucier, MS.
19. Alcoholic Beverages
Absolutely no Alcoholic beverages of any sort will be allowed at any SMSC function. SMSC functions include games, practice, tournaments, or Great Day of Soccer. Further, this also applies to any of the soccer fields where SMSC teams meet to practice or play games. SMSC facilities include fields, buildings, and any parking area around the field(s). Any person seen drinking alcohol, or exhibiting signs of drunkenness at an SMSC function will be asked to leave. Refusal to leave will be just cause to call the Police or the Sheriffs Dept. to the scene to remove the individual or group with every intention of prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law.
