If you happen to buy the card, we will appreciate you tell them who sent you.

The food poisoning outbreak at Waipahu Elementary school last week could have been prevented.
The Department of Health says the school was cited just months before for mishandling food.
They had just checked Waipahu Elementary's cafeteria on September 18th, as part of a twice a year inspection. During that probe they found a problem with the handling of spaghetti noodles.
"In September our food inspector went to this (Waipahu Elementary) Cafeteria and noticed this food handling problem with improperly heating the noodles," said Gary Gill with the Dept. of Health.
Health officials say the school was cited and experts consulted the cafeteria staff on correcting the potentially hazardous problem.
Three months later, the same thing happened again. Only this time more than 40 people got sick, along with two staff members.
Inspectors say critical time and temperature controls were missing.
"Our lab workers found Staph Arias C and B," continued Gill. "So we can confirm the food handling procedures were dangerous and did create a toxin in the noodles."
The DOH says noodles, and starchy food in particular, can grow bacteria if you leave it out too long and if it stays warm..
Waipahu's staff members routinely cook spaghetti noodles the day before, then put them in the refrigerator for the next morning.
Things went wrong when the food was taken out and put in a warmer at 120 degrees, not the mandatory 165 degree temperature that kills bacteria.
"I was just kind of shocked," said parent Gretchen Velasco. "My kids have been here a long time. I personally went to this school. So it's really shocking that happened."
"After the incident happened the first two, three days they brought home lunch," said Brenda Madeiros, another parent referring to her son who attends Waipahu Elementary.
For now the kitchen is closed. Food is being brought in from another school to be served out of the cafeteria at least until until winter break.
"We have our staff going through intensive training and procedures and what they need to do in the cafeteria," assured Waipahu Elementary Principal Gary Chun.
The DOH trained the school staff Monday.
Tuesday the staff continued going through extensive training.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have found themselves embroiled in a hard-fought, see-sawing battle for football domination. Not on the turf. Not in the fall in a blindingly vicious helmet-to-helmet showdown of cracking pads and driving cleats. This battle is taking place almost solely on social networking sites. The honor we're collectively battling for? A chance to have the College Gameday crew from ESPN do a commercial featuring our school.
Nevermind that College Gameday is the best college football show in the nation. Nevermind that the ads for the show are universally loved and enjoyed by the masses. This is about Nebraska football and, where the Huskers are involved, this state goes straight for the top. We're all in on the N. All the time.
But you can imagine my shock when I found out that we were in second place. As I was voting, every day for the past week if I'm going to be totally honest, I couldn't help but notice some other school sitting in the top spot in the overall votes category like a maroon and white impostor seated upon the throne. Texas A&M.
Somehow our former rivals from the South were able to climb to the top and maintain a solid lead over the groundswell movement of the Sea of Red. The Nebraska administration got behind the movement. Even Bo Pelini tweeted his support. We're talking grassroots as only 2012 can provide them. Tweets, Status updates, Google-whatever-ing, texting, sexting, and youtubing. Even this:
They are announcing the winner of the contest today at 2 P.M. and if the Huskers were able to pull off a shocking upset, if Osborne and Pelini's social media blitzkrieg has actually worked, then we need to start coming up with wild, rumor-filled speculation as to what these ads will look like. Let me fire off the first salvo of baseless, wild, and limitless-budget-plan commercials.
Mad Man, Season 5
(*Author's note: Bo Pelini is going into his fifth season as the Cornhusker head coach.)
Fade In:
Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Chris Fowler are all standing on a set designed to look like an office, dressed up in the stereotypical 1960's attire of the characters on the AMC show Mad Men. There's a camera crew, and a producer wearing a headset and a clipboard is handing scripts out to the guys.
Herbstreit: I can't believe we get to do a special guest appearance on Mad Men.
Howard: I know. I totally love this show. I always considered myself the Don Draper of college football. I could sell any juke in the open field to any defender.
Corso: The best part? I didn't even have to go to costume, I just grabbed this jacket out of my closet. Man, the '60s were the best.
Fowler: (Looking down at the script he's holding) Ummm. . .guys. . .I don't think this is actually Mad Men.
Producer: Alright, guys, first off let me tell you how excited we are to have you on set for the fifth season of our reality show, Mad Man.
Guys: (Unsettled) Mad. . .Man?!?!
Producer: C'mon, guys, don't tell me you haven't seen it. It's like Punk'D for college coaches. We just told Bo Pelini that you guys backed the Gameday Bus into his car and now we told him you all were here so we can get a reaction shot.
Herbstreit: (potentially peeing his $2,000 pants) Wait, Bo Pelini?
Howard: His car? You told him. . .what!?!?
Corso: Bring him on. . .
Fowler: Hang on just a minute. . .
Producer: Oh, and we also told him that after you guys did the hit and run, you ran over Taylor Martinez's foot and he's out for the season. Ready? We're going on in 3. . .2. . .1. . .
Closeup: Bo Pelini kicks in the door to the office like a member of a S.W.A.T. team. He strides into the office with his eyes bulging and his neck veins pulsating with rage. The guys duck and cover.

Cooking with beer never occurred to me to use as a braising liquid until one day, a long time ago, a friend of mine from the mid-west showed me how to cook bratwursts in beer. The end result was a nice, juicy piece of meat with a hint of tang. It was back then that I realized, well if I use wine to make my stews, why not beer? The challenge was to find a piece of meat that could stand up to the flavors.
Braising is a cooking technique that requires you to cook your ingredients, usually meats, for a long time under medium-low heat. This allows the meat to become extremely tender that it falls off the bone and soaks up all the great flavors from the vegetables, herbs and broth it is simmering in.
So following some basic steps for making my favorite braised dish, boeuf bourguignon, I created this braised lamb shank recipe. I chose lamb, well because I like lamb, but you could also do this with a turkey leg. Both have nice dark meat is sweet enough to withstand its drunken hot tub of fermented barley hops and other herbs and vegetables I may throw at it. Plus by braising with the bone, you get a nice lamb or turkey flavor infused into the sauce.
While in my head it's really inspired from my love for French provencal cooking, the end flavors is really is more Mediterranean. The green olives, raisins and dried apricots added at the end gives the dish a subtle salty and sweetness that complements the tangy and acidity of the sauce. And instead of rosemary or thyme, cumin and parsley are added to round out all the flavors.
Serve over some fluffy pilaf rice or couscous.
Drunken Braised Lamb Shank
2 lamb shanks
1 bottle of dark beer
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen peas
2 cloves of garlic
½ cup of onions, chopped
½ cup of celery, chopped
½ cup of carrots, chopped
1/4 cup of dried apricots
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup of green olives, sliced
Fresh parsley
Cumin powder
1. In a large hot pan, sear the lamb shanks on all sides until you have a nice brown color. Remove from pot and set aside.
2. In a same large pot deglaze the bottom of the pan with a little bit of butter or olive oil too loosen the lamb bits. Then add garlic, onions, celery, squash, carrots, cumin powder and salt and pepper for a few minutes.
Alternative Technique for Vegetables: Create a sofrito, which is a finely chopped mixture of carrots, celery and onion. Use a food processor to create the sofrito and add to the pot along with some tomato paste and a little bit of the beer. Cook down before adding the spices and lamb shanks. The end result is a nice pureed sauce.
3. Place the lamb shanks back into the pot and add a bottle of beer and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
4. Add diced tomatoes with the juice and 2 cups of water (enough to fully cover the shanks and vegetables). Cover and cook on medium low heat for at least two hours. Note, the longer you let simmer the better, up to 6 hours. Add water and season if you cook this duration.
5. When the meat is tender (as in falling off the bone), add the peas, raisins and olives. Cook for about 10 minutes more until the peas are heated all the way through.
6. Season to taste and serve over couscous and fresh parsley.

Give a party prize away to the person with oldest coin.
Game Type:
Passive. Little or no movement is required.
6 or more players
A small, inexpensive gift (a bottle of wine, chocolates, a set of screwdrivers etc)
The host pretends to be an auctioneer and shows the prize saying "This beautiful _____________ is up for bid. All you need is a date. Pull out your coins and your bills and check the dates. I'm looking for a 2000 bill or coin or lower. Do I have a 2000?" At this point players should be opening their wallets a fishing out bills and coins. Eventually someone will say "I've got a 1996 quarter" or something like this. The host then says "I've got a '96, do I have a '95?" Hopefully another player will have a lower date to continue the bidding. Keeping bidding the date down as low as possible until you've reaching the lowest date. The player with the lowest date bill or coin wins the auction.

This one is exciting for me considering my love of shimmer.
e.l.f. Essential Glitter Eyeshadow, loves!Read More...
Interesting enough some of the new Essential products from E.L.F. are competing with the Studio line for coolness.
But all that coolness gets a price jack of $1 to $2. The E.L.F. Essential Collection has always had a $1 price tag but these newer items for Spring have a buck or two tacked on.
Can't say I mind much of the quality is better since I've felt like the Essential Collection was absolute rubbish.
Check out these new lip stains just added.Read More...
E.L.F. is busy updating (and improving in my eyes) their Essentials Collection for Spring 2012.
I like the Studio Collection however I've always found fault with the Essential one but some of these new offerings look nifty.

We use the efficiency concept in reverse when designing a recipe to achieve a targeted OG. Let's go back to our Short Stout example.
To produce a 1.050 wort, how much malt will we need?
Remember though that this is the post-boil gravity. When you are collecting your wort and are wondering if you have enough, you need to ratio the measured gravity by the amount of wort you have collected to see if you will hit your target after the boil. For instance, to have 5 gallons of 1.050 wort after boiling, you would need (at least): 6 gallons of 1.042 (250 pts/6g) or 7 gallons of 1.036 (250 pts/7g)
So, when planning to brew with grain, you need to be able to figure how much malt to use if you are going to collect 6-7 gallons of wort that will boil down to 5 gallons at a target OG. (Actually you need 5.5 gallons if you plan for fermentation losses from the hops and trub.) These considerations are taken into account in Chapter 19 - Designing Recipes.

Sri Lanka's bishops back decentralized power, oppose changing constitution
Catholic World News - June 13, 2013
Sri Lanka's bishops, led by Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith of Colombo, have announced their opposition to a proposed change to the nation's constitution.
A constitutional amendment that took effect in 1987 decentralized power in the strife-torn nation by establishing provincial councils. A political party associated with the Sinhalese ethnic majority has called for changes to the amendment in the name of national unity.

Halloween is coming, and we thought we'd get into the spirit of things by revisiting one of our favorite sets of spooky photos ever. These candid pics were taken of people passing through the Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls and they show the funny/scared/shocked faces we all really make when in a haunted house. Unlike the haunted houses we've been to, this one must actually be scary -- faces like this don't lie.

It's expected to go for $1.8-$2.5 million bucks. Here's what (most of) the whole painting looks like.

Investors declared that they would strengthen their support to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) as it plays huge role in providing sufficient power supply for investment.
An investor called Tsegaye Abebe who has already bought 5 million birr bonds for the dam, added that he would continue supporting the project as much as he can.
The support extended by investors in particularly agriculture, agro-processing, industry and other similar sectors should be greater than the others because power supply is very crucial to the sectors, he added.
The other investor engaged in textile and garment, Fasil Tadesse, pledged to further extend financial support as the dam.
Tafesse Worku, another investor engaged in transportation sector, pointed out that the dam is all the more meaningful since the power generated in the country at prsent is not sufficient enough to enable Ethiopia to join the middle income countries.
He thus promised to continue purchasing bonds individually and collectively.
President of the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations, Solomon Afework, recalled that the association had bought 500,000 birr interest free bonds for the dam, adding that plans have been devised to further organize the support of the business community.

Morocco: Princess Lalla Aicha Dead At 81
- 09/05/11
- Views: 7328
Tangiers, April 11th 1947
Moocco Board News- Princess Royal Lalla Aisha passed away yesterday September 4th 2011 in Rabat. reports this communiqué from the Royal Palace.
On Sunday evening, HRH Princess Lalla Aicha, aunt of HM King Mohammed VI, passed away. The funeral of the late Princess will take place on Monday. She will be buried at Moulay Al Hassan mausoleum at the royal palace in Rabat.The deceased was born on June 17, 1930 at the royal palace in Rabat.
She became the ambassador of Morocco to Great Britain from March 1965 to December 1968, thus becoming the first woman ambassador in the Arab world. From 1969 to 1972, she became Morocco's ambassador in Rome....
A succinct communiqué that disparages the symbol she embodied for women's rights and empowerment in Morocco. She is after all, the only Moroccan woman to make a TIME cover, and the third Moroccan (after her Royal father and Emir Abdelkrim El-Khattabi of the Rif) to be honoured as such.
The decision to deliver a public speech in western clothes in 1947 -only 17 years old- carried far-reaching consequences not only for Moroccan women, but for the whole fabric of society. Her father, King Mohamed V gave a resounding speech in April 1947 in Tangiers, and she also took the stand and delivered her own address, urging Moroccan women to rise up and claim their share as productive members of the society. It was the signal the traditional patriarchal order was coming to an end, and while it was understood that western modernity had its own shortcomings, modernising was considered the only way, for Moroccan women, to extract themselves from the position they were kept in, and to free themselves from male tutelage.
Princess Royal Lalla Aisha embodied the honest effort the monarchy put in to modernise out of genuine survival interest: not only did the (then) Sultan Mohamed Ben Youssef endorse the nationalists' agenda, he also set out to send a signal to all his subjects about how serious he was in contributing to carry out the yearning for a modern Morocco and make it happen. The immediate post-independence years were stormy, ambitious, but the accumulated gains in pre-requisite legislation, basic infrastructure, administration and literacy were far more significant than during the 40 years following the death of Mohamed V. Lalla Aisha was perhaps an aborted symbol that could have carried Morocco on to the status of a genuine parliamentary monarchy, where the King and his Royal Household would look very much like the Windsors in the United Kingdom: carrying out honorific duties yet commanding respect and devotion.
With her death, a particular chapter in Morocco's modern history passes away too.

As a matter of fact every country in the planet that bases its governance on religion is the worst country on the planet.
Let me think, The US, Japan, Germany, Australia, Canada, France....etc do not rely on religion to tell them what's good and what's bad. They rely on common sense and on trusting their own people to differentiate right from wrong.
Why do we have to have an Imam tell us not to steal or not to lie? isn't common sense not to that?
I however do agree that the death of this woman is not a newsworthy, the truth is that this is the first time I hear about this woman, in any case, may she rest in peace no matter what she did in her life.
@moroccan patriot - show some respect, if you have nothing positive to say after someone's death then keep your peace.
I believe that a real Muslim state, not like Saudi Arabia, or the fake Muslim state of Morocco... no I mean a real Muslim state, a country that is led by people who love their people almost as much as they love God... the way we are supposed to be, as outlined in the Koran and Hadith... this kind of state would be the most glorious state ever known to mankind.
Islam does not lead to backwardness, religion does not lead to lack of development, rather it is lack of scruples, lack of discipline, lack of TRUE Iman that leads to a lack of development.
If we had real Muslim rulers in ANY of the Arab countries, that country would be fine, a great example of a country that has relatively decent Muslims in positions of leadership is Malaysia, another example is the leadership of some political parties in Lebanon... these are people, that when you meet them, you feel their decency and sense of honor, the exact opposite of what you feel when you meet with Mubarek, Bouteflika, or any of the other Arab leaders I have had the misfortune of meeting.
Out of 57 Islamic states you were only able to come up with Malaysia, this does speak well about Islam and governance, what about the other 56 states and do you know that Malaysia's system of governance is not based on Shari3a as you were led to beleive?
Wikipedia: "Malaysia's jurisdiction of Shariah courts is limited only to Muslims in matters such as marriage, inheritance, divorce, apostasy, religious conversion, and custody among others" basically the same system of Governance as in Morocco.
The only difference between us and them is decency and common sense.
You are right we are different, I am for responsible Islam, M6 made it impossible for a man to marry another woman if he is already married, well that's a responsible thing to do, intelligently abolishing polygamy. He also made it illegal for an under age girl to marry or to be handed on a silver place to someone her great grand father's age, that is also responsible Islam.
Islam is not bad if practiced the way is intended to be, unfortunately many now especially the dictator use Islam to suffocate their own people.
I am a proud Muslim. It seems this may not fit for you Morcelli, but it works for a lot of people, and a true Islamic state does NOT discriminate against those who are NOT Muslim. My perspective on Islam is that I practice it to the best of my ability and understand the best way to get others to also try to be good Muslims is for them to see how well it works for me, in other words, to lead by example.
It offends me when people say that Islam is somehow a problem. Islam is in fact a solution. Those who claim to be leaders of the faithful while NOT being Islamic in their deeds are what is known as Munafik, a state of being that is on the same level of Kufar. However, it is not for me to judge the intentions of others... that is for God to Judge.
When you refer to how Islamic law works in Malaysia, you are not seeing that when you handle marital, inheritance and other issues you mentioned, that covers about 90% of all legal proceedings. What is most remarkable about Malaysia is their no nonsense view on corruption. This is another scourge that needs to be dealt with aggressively.
I see you in your own way as a Patriot of sorts, rather than focusing on where we differ, I think in the future, we should focus on where we agree.
If you study the Arab literature pertaining to the before/after Islam in the sands of Arabia, you would surely notice how the before is sublimely superior, creativity-wise , to the crap that emerged once the contamination invaded the minds.
Not much has changed since then. In fact things have gotten much worse! And if this nefarious pattern holds, very soon, and with trumpets blaring : burkas and beards for everyone!
The Jahilia all over again!
I can't wait!

Rudraksha and Stress Control:
The Rudraksha beads are known to reduce stress levels by emitting positive
vibrations that flush out all the negative energy in the wearer. Indian
yogis of yore had tremendous control over their mind and body. Perhaps
part of this achievement could be attributed to the Rudraksha malas
that they wore.
Research has proved that the Rudraksha beads have certain amazing electromagnetic
and accupressural properties. They control blood pressure, which in
turn controls the heartbeat. Blood circulation is an indication of the
physical and mental well being of a person. A normal blood circulation
would thereby mean good physical and mental health. The Rudraksha has
the power to make us feel light and tranquil, enhancing our sense of
well being and our efficiency. They are known to be therapeutic in cases
of depression, hypertension, insomnia and other neurotic illnesses.
They help cure respiratory problems and joint pains. It is little wonder
then that these marvellous beads were worshipped as God sent.
Power of the Rudraksha:
Rudraksha beads are of 14 different types, differentiated by the number
of faces. The Ek Mukhi bead is the most powerful and the rarest of all
beads. The ek mukhi beads are known to boost the confidence and focus
of the wearer and usher in material and financial betterment. Each of
the other beads has a different function and is worn by the wearer for
that particular power.
The Gourishankar Rudraksha is supposed to be in the form of the image
of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati. It is usually preserved in cupboards
or kept in the place of worship.

Germany's War on the War on Terror
Terrorist financiers: good. Tax evaders: bad.
Mar 29, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 27 • By JOHN ROSENTHAL
Last month, the European parliament rejected the so-called SWIFT agreement, which would have permitted American terrorism investigators to continue inspecting data on international financial transactions originating from European banks. The members of parliament thus shut down a program that French investigative judge Jean-Louis Bruguière concluded was a "vital counter-terrorism tool," which had proved its worth in both elucidating terror attacks and preventing them.
Officially known as the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program (TFTP), it was set up by the Bush administration after the 9/11 attacks. In a report submitted to the EU, Judge Bruguière listed several terror acts that had been thwarted with the help of it: among them, the 2006 U.K.-based plot to bring down transatlantic airliners using liquid explosives, the 2007 "Sauerland cell" plot to bomb American military installations in Germany, and the 2007 plot to blow up New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. Among the plots that the TFTP has helped investigators to elucidate, the report mentions the 2002 Bali bombings, the 2004 Madrid train bombings, the 2005 London transport bombings, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The arrest of Riduan Isamuddin—the reputed "Bin Laden of Southeast Asia"—was reportedly facilitated by the program.
The SWIFT agreement is so-named for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, a Brussels-based consortium of banks. In voting down the agreement, the European parliament made use of powers freshly accorded it under the Lisbon Treaty. The vote has thus been hailed in the European media and in the halls of the parliament itself as a triumph of "European democracy." The fact that the vote was held anonymously, with no record of the votes of individual MEPs being made public, suggests that European democracy still has a ways to go.
Despite the anonymous voting procedure, however, the boisterous run-up to the vote left no doubt about the leading role played by German MEPs of all political persuasions in killing the agreement. That German Social Democrats, Greens, and the "post-Communist" Left party opposed the agreement will come as no surprise. "This agreement . . . breathes the spirit of the security ideology of the United States of America," the leader of the Socialists in the European parliament, Martin Schulz, thundered during a debate the day before the vote, "but it does not breathe the spirit of the protection of the fundamental rights that we as European deputies must guarantee for the citizens of this continent."
The European People's party (EPP), by far the largest group in the parliament, supported the agreement, as did the smaller European Conservatives and Reformists group, which includes Britain's Tories. So too did the Socialist government of Spain, which currently holds the EU's rotating presidency. Speaking on behalf of the presidency during the debate, Spain's minister of the interior, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, pleaded—albeit somewhat apologetically—for approval of the agreement.
The key to the defeat of the SWIFT agreement was thus the defection from the EPP mainstream of the German MEPs of Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU). As the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung noted, the votes of conservative MEPs combined with those of "renegade" Spanish socialists might have sufficed for a majority in favor, "were it not for the German 'Union' deputies."
On January 31, just days before a crucial vote in the parliament's committee on civil liberties, justice, and home affairs, Manfred Weber of the CSU flagged his opposition in an op-ed titled "No Transfer of Bank Data!" in Germany's mass-market tabloid Bild. In terms essentially indistinguishable from those of his Social Democratic colleague Schulz, Weber wrote, "For the data of European citizens, we deputies want European data protection standards." On February 4, the committee recommended the rejection of the agreement. Werner Langen, the chairman of the CDU/CSU delegation in the parliament, likewise inveighed against the agreement. Insisting on the need for greater parliamentary input, Langen said, "Such a far-reaching agreement that encroaches on the rights of citizens cannot come to pass without public parliamentary consultation."
The need to negotiate an access agreement emerged following the decision of the SWIFT consortium to shut down its U.S. servers and store all relevant data at European locations. In July of last year, the European Council, representing the 27 EU member states, announced its intention to negotiate the required agreement with the United States. The mere prospect of negotiations sparked frenzied reactions across the German political spectrum.

Charity Macular Society looking for volunteers for people with deteriorating eyesight
Posted: January 18, 2014|
VOLUNTEERS are needed to become friendly voices on the end of the phone for people suffering from deteriorating eyesight.
The Macular Society is looking to expand its telephone befriending programme, which is aimed at helping people combat feelings of loneliness as a result of eyesight problems.
The charity is running a training course in Nottingham in February and would like to hear from anyone interested in attending.
Befrienders volunteer from home for an average of two hours a month and are matched to a befriendee, who shares similar interests.
Jon Rich, Macular Society volunteer development officer, said: "We need additional volunteers to help us expand the project and reach more people affected by macular degeneration who are experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
"Just a couple of hours a month can make a huge difference."
If you are interested in attending the training course in Nottingham, contact Jon Rich on 01264 321 988.
If you, or someone you know, with macular degeneration would benefit from receiving regular calls from a befriender, call 0300 3030 111 to sign up to the project.
The telephone befriending service has been made possible thanks to cash from the Big Lottery Fund.

And if you're a woman who feels that his lyrics to ditties such as the immortal 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang' are sexist, Nugent says, 'Fuck you and go to a Garth Brooks show. Kiss my dog's dead, diseased, rotting ass. If you don't have a sense of humor, you're not allowed in Ted's world. I don't objectify women. I'd like to think that I'm optimizing their hardware.' - Westword Newspaper , Denver, Colorado, July 27, 1994
Ted Nugent has forked over $75,000 ... paying the price for shooting off his mouth ...

Detroit Free Press , April 5, 1995
"I have a brain and I work that brain and it works and it knows the difference between right and wrong and it's got a thread of common sense. And that it's not Ted's opinion. It is how it is ... we're just working hard, playing hard and anybody that wants to get in our way does not deserve anything less than a bullet between the eyes ..." - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., September 23, 1991
"... Rock and roll, the great outdoors and short skirts is what makes Ted Nugent tick...the reason that Ted Nugent kicks major ass is because I've never done drugs. I've never touched chemicals. I've never drank. I've never touched tobacco." - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., September 26, 1991
"I smoked 50 joints in the '60s and snorted two lines of coke once in Detroit." - People Weekly , Feb. 28, 1977
He claims that 30 days before his draft board physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days, he ingested nothing but Vienna sausages and Pepsi; and a week before his physical, he stopped using bathrooms altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with his own excrement, stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. "... but if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed, or I'd killed all the hippies in the foxholes...I would have killed everybody." - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990
..."unethical," says Mr. Caires, who was angered after he took Nugent out on a hunt in April. "He shoots at anything," Mr. Cairnes claims. "You should kill what you can use.

"... First thing I slayed...I was nine years old. It was a squirrel, these ladies were feeding it, you know, and I said, 'excuse me, bam.' No it wasn't a pet squirrel. I had it stuffed and petted it for years after that." - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., September 26, 1991
Whacking is a term Nugent uses to describe what he does to his prey with bow and arrow. Whack 'em and stack 'em,' he says. - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990
Participants pay the Renegade Ranch (a fenced in, 300-acre canned hunting recreation area) for the animals they kill - anywhere from $500 for a wild boar to $5,500 for a six-point elk. Nugent tacks on a $250 fee for serving as celebrity guide. - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990
"I don't hunt for sport, I don't hunt for recreation, I don't hunt for meat, I hunt to hunt ..." - Detroit Free Press , p. 12D, April 17, 1989
Ted Nugent's Down to Earth, promises raw, unedited footage of America's no. 1 rock 'n' roll bowhunter as he whacks 'em and stacks 'em. Nor was it hyperbole. In the first 10 minutes, viewers got bird's-eye of broadheads fatally piercing such fearsome creatures as an armadillo, a squirrel perched in a tree, some pigs and a goat. 'I love that part,' said the glinty-eyed Nugent after running death scenes in sequence. 'Let's see it again.' And the appalling whack 'em and stack 'em compendium ran all over in slow-motion replay. - The Washington Post , Recreation Section, September 23, 1990
Nobody hunts just to put meat on the table because it's too expensive, time consuming and extremely inconsistent. - Ted Nugent's World Bowhunters Magazine, Volume 1/ Number 3, March/April 1990, p.7

"... My deer were put here on the earth. God even said, 'Hey Ted, whack 'em.' He said this, right in the bible, Genesis, 'Dear Ted, whack me a buck ...'" - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., Sept. 24, 1991
"I contribute to the dead of winter and the moans of silence, blood trails are music to my ears ... I'm a gut pile addict ... The pig didn't know I was there ... it's my kick ... I love shafting animals ... it's rock 'n' roll power." - Ted Nugent's World Bowhunters Magazine, Volume 1/Number 4, May 1990, p.12
"The first thing I do is be sure to cut the entire head off the animal I wish to bleach and/or paint Most butchers saw the skull plate off at the base of the antlers, thus eliminating the major skull section that we desire. Since I butcher most of my own deer and big game, I take special pride in the personal handling of all the precious by-products of my kills. I cut the head off at the base of the skull and begin the meticulous task of skinning and fleshing the entire skull down to the minimal meat and bare bone. I will actually scrape the remaining flesh from the skull bone with the edge of my knife blade, but stop short of taking any actual skull material. ... Hunt on. Kill on. Eat on. Paint on. Live on."

Apart from size, are ferro rods all the same?
They can vary in composition also.
OK. I had a suspicion. I received a Mg bar/rod as a gift. Compared to my Light my fire, it's really hard to create a spark. Who else sells good rods?
"Misch metal" is interesting stuff-- it gives of flaming gobs vs sparks. I made a couple fire steels using misch metal blanks and the top barrel off a wood bodied ballpoint pen with JB Weld epoxy. That gives you something to grip and has a pocket clip and the wood looks cool. I like a good ol' Light My Fire mini for my emergency backup though. The pen barrel rigs have languished in my gear locker. http://goinggear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4 has the misch metal blanks.
"OK. I had a suspicion. I received a Mg bar/rod as a gift. Compared to my Light my fire, it's really hard to create a spark."Try a different scraper, like a section of hacksaw blade. Go slower and more pressure. You may need to work through the coating too.
Very aesthetic! I took a chisel and hammer to the handle of my Light my fire to remove it (too bulky and useless weight for me) and wrapped/glued some string to the end of the rod to create a loop. This is then threaded on a lanyard. With the lanyard wrapped around 3-4 fingers, it creates a "handle" for a good grip on the rod blank.
Yes, firesteels can be very different in the sparks they produce as well as how to get those sparks. Personally, I would second the recommendation for goinggear.com firesteels. They will produce giant globs of sparks that burn for a long time(compared to LMF)As far as strikers are concerned, I've found the best to be the squared off spine of a fixed blade knife. I always carry a fixed blade knife, even if it's a small one. Just put it in a vise(between some leather) and take a file to the spine until it is nice and flat and you have to nice sharp 90degree angles.
I want to check out that mischo-metal or whatnot, after reading its description -- which underscores that there are different alloy/mixes in the market for ferro-steel striking rods. I like how they sell various sizes.I've tried a few and like those used in the Light My Fire units, which seem easy to generate sparks with for me, and for the youth in my Scout troop. I have also seen a few that are much harder to generate good spark with, including one this summer that a boy couldn't even get to spark at all and I had to really wrench on it to force a spark. Blah.Now, those "classic" blocks of magnesium with a striker embedded in one edge? Double-blech! First, they're hard as heck to carve shavings off of without hauling around a file, and they're a great way to ruin the blade of a knife after you figure out the back of it ain't gonna do. Second, the shavings are more work than they're worth unless you do use a file and then the striker is only so-so. Don't do it at Scout camp, but the best use might be as a "beacon fire" when you're out in the desert with the big kids... think of it like a little bitty piece of a VW block. :)
the technique for the "harder" ferro rods (ala LMF) is different than the "softer" misch metal ones (going gear, firesteel.com, etc), the misch metals ones need a faster, more aggressive stroke- takes more practice imo but the reward are larger, longer burning globules of sparks- the LMF style ones produce a spark more readily and you can use a slower, more controlled strokelike anything, practice makes perfectI use both and don't really have a preference, both are effective- just need to use a slightly different technique
May not directly answer your question, but I have bought fire steels from this site and they come in a number of sizes and very reasonable, dare I say, cheap too.http://firesteel.com/I hot glued one of the shorter ones into a cork to make a very light weight handle.-Tony
I also bought a couple from Firesteel.com
I liked the firesteel.com more than goinggear.com, but both had larger globs than LMF products. I have an easier time sparking the firesteel rods without a special sparker.
I gave up on ferro rods after injuring a hand in the backcountry and realizing that I was then officially SOL with a LMF. I've since gone to a Spark-Lite. Lighter, easier to operate (one-handed). Same, if not better result IMHO.
you can effectively spark a ferro rod one handed- little practice helps though :)
Yeah the Gobspark rods from firesteel.com are great.You need a really hard sharp piece of steel to get great strikes off them, or a piece of carbide (the best striker material ever), but they drop huge embers that burn forever.

Peninsula Bi Chat
We take great pleasure in announcing the inaugural meeting of the Peninsula Bi Chat group on Thursday 8th March 2012 at a venue located on the Mornington Peninsula.
The group is open to all bisexual people, their friends, loved ones and supporters. Those questioning their sexuality are also welcome and may benefit from this opportunity for fellowship with like-minded individuals where all things bisexual are discussed openly and frankly.
The group meets monthly on every second Thursday. The group is run by a facilitator, and has a simple set of rules to make sure everyone feels safe. We start at 7:30, have a short break around 8:30, and then continue through to finish around 9:30. We talk about whatever is important to the attendees that night; sometimes people have questions, or they want to talk about the things going on in their lives, or listen to the stories of others.
The Peninsula Bi Chat group is an offshoot of the Melbourne Bi Chat group which has been running successfully now for several years, currently out of Carlton. The facilitator for the Peninsula Bi Chat group, Rowan, is also a regular attendee of the Melbourne group, and has long recognised the need to make this type of support available at a regional level, hence the formation of Peninsula Bi Chat.
Rowan is also a committee member of Bi Alliance Victoria, a non-profit volunteer-run organisation dedicated to promoting the acceptance of bisexuals in GLBTI and mainstream society, providing a fun, safe space where bisexuals can meet, make friends, and talk about their experiences, and informing the bisexual community about relevant news and opportunities for activism.
If you are interested in attending the Peninsula Bi Chat group, are perhaps a little nervous about coming along, or just have a question please contact the group facilitator Rowan on 0437 199 271 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Anyone planning to attend is requested to make contact in advance for venue details.

The Wedding Dance by Elliot London
I received an email the other to share a short film (THE WEDDING DANCE), here is the story……..
My name is Elliot London… My passion is making gay cinema…
I have been working on a beautiful short film (THE WEDDING DANCE) about Equality in a different perspective. I would be so ever grateful if you would take a look at this 3 minute film and consider posting it when the time is so right to educate one another.
The objective with this project is to raise money for our feature film FRIEND. A film about coming out in 2012. A time now when things are so different with social networking. A time now that a child might not have the correct tools to coupe with humiliation in an instant world. FRIEND is about giving back. Its a movie about accepting and loving oneself but most of all it is about educating. With the proceeds from this film I am going to be donating the profits to groups that help educate at risk youth… If we can raise $10,000 to make our last film with social networking. Than $250,000 can be done. Please take a look at the campaign we have started. Please share this film…
Thank You
Elliot London
Magda thought of suicide, struggled with sexuality
I read Magda's story below from The Age and watched The Project clip also below. I cannot fault Magda for the courage she shown in the interview and the comments about the struggles of coming out. I myself came out at a later age of 33, whilst struggle with with my own sexuality, like Madga, it is up to us to choose when we "Come Out" as we only have one go at it, and it can only go 2 ways bad or good and you need to set up a support network to help soften the experience if is does turn out badly.
Again, Magda, you are a legend and you have shown true spirit in showing the world who you truly are and to be proud of it.
Here is the article from The Age:
Magda Szubanski has admitted to having suicidal thoughts while struggling with her homosexuality as a teen and has rejected claims by tennis great Margaret Court that sexual preference was a choice for people.
The day after the comic actor announced publicly she was gay, Szubanski called for greater respect to be shown to homosexuals, although she said Australia was overwhelmingly a tolerant society on the issue.
Court, a former world No.1 tennis player and now a pastor with the Perth-based evangelical Victory Life Centre, last month claimed people chose to be gay. She later claimed homosexuality was often the result of sexual abuse.

Szubanski today said while she respected Court's sporting achievements, she did not hold the same view on Court's opinions on homosexuality.
"All this notion of choice, the notion you can terrorise or frighten – they used to give people electric shock therapy," she told radio station 3AW.
"I think all you can do is respect what people are and [show] the most compassion and empathy that you can bring to the situation, trying to foster in people who they really are and help them be their best self."
Szubanski said she was relieved at coming out publicly, although she had previously done so "thousands of times" to family, friends and colleagues.
She said she had struggled with her feelings when she first realised she was gay, and while she wouldn't elaborate, admitted she had felt suicidal.
"Oh yes, yeah, absolutely … people will say 'Why did I take a while to do this [come out]?' I needed to be as solid as I could be so I could do this in the strongest possible way and be really clear about myself," she said.
"I didn't want to come out and botch coming out as it were, I wanted to be effective and useful for other people and to get on really solid ground yourself can really take a while. It can really take a while – it can be a journey – so that's why I think it's really important to respect people's journey, whatever that is."
Szubanski said gay people often struggled to come to terms with who they were or be accepted by their families, and pointed to high rates of substance abuse, depression and youth suicide as associated factors.
She said she was lucky she had a supportive family, but still endured her emotional struggles as a teen.
"Oh my god. I know how those kids feel. Believe me, I know how those kids feel," she said.
"I was in my teens when I started to kind of realise and we're talking the 1970s, and we're talking living in Croydon in the Sharpie era [of suburban youth gangs].
"I have a Scottish-Irish mother and a Polish father and there is a certain wisdom in keeping your head down sometimes. Those cultural influences also have an impact, no doubt about it."
Szubanski said she had been "absolutely overwhelmed and so moved by the beautiful response" by the Australian public since she came out publicly and discussed her sexuality on Channel Ten's The Project last night.
Here is the clip shown on Ten's The Project
Jeff Kennett on Gay AFL footballers
I guess it comes to no surprise that Jeff Kennett is on the gay bandwagon again?? He says he believes up to 5% of the AFL Players are gay, but live in secrecy…
I mean "DOH" as if most of us cannot work that one out for ourselves… I cannot understand why the chairman of Beyond Blue, who in past has made bad comments about the GLBTIQ community, thinks he is qualified to make this kind of assessment…
I am sure that there are gay AFL Players, and it is up to them to make the choice of "coming out", Even they do not come out, I do not think that they would be in a high risk of suffering depression, as they would have the support of their families, close friends, and of course their football club if their sexuality is known….
Eddie Mcguire has made comment that he aware of gay AFL players, but as he stated, they are being looked after and it is up to them to make the choice of coming out…..
So, is this another bandwagon backhanded comment by Jeff Kennett to lift his profile at Beyond Blue???
Here is an article on the Foxsport website:
Jeff Kennett believes up to five per cent of AFL players are gay but are living in secrecy for fear of being ridiculed.
The former Victorian premier and Hawthorn Football Club president said players who concealed their sexuality from teammates were at risk of depression and, in this area, the sport had "a long way to go".
Kennett said out of a playing group of 800, he would be "very surprised" if 40 or less weren't gay.
Kennett recalled a conversation with a young player in recent years who said he was fearful of revealing his sexuality to his teammates because of locker room banter.
But he said attitudes had changed and peers would be accepting of their teammate's sexuality.
"If he were to do so, I'm quite sure the players would embrace him, I'm quite sure the sort of comments that you could imagine being said in locker rooms, would not be said if, in fact, the playing group knew that one of their own was gay or was suffering a depressive illness," Kennett said.
The comments come after rugby league referee Matt Cecchin recently revealed he was gay.
Magda to come out for gay marriage
Magda Szubanski, star of Kath and Kim, Fast Forward and the film Babe, will join other celebrities, including Hugh Jackman and Jimmy Barnes, in their support for Australians for Marriage Equality's campaign to legalise same-sex marriage.
She will also make a "personal statement", anticipated to be about her own sexuality.
She hinted at being a lesbian in a statement that said: "I am 1000 per cent in favour of gay marriage. We pay taxes, fight wars for this country, nurse you when you are sick, make you laugh, sing and dance for you, play netball for you, star in your movies.
"The law as it stands is unfair and it needs to be changed to reflect the wonderful, tolerant, live-and-let-live society Australians have created."
A Galaxy poll released yesterday showed support for same-sex marriage in Australia was steady at 62 per cent, with support strongest among young voters; 81 per cent of people aged 18 to 24 said they supported allowing homosexual couples to marry and a slight majority, 51 per cent, of voters aged 50 to 64 felt the same.
The Labor MP behind a private member's bill to legalise same-sex marriage says Prime Minister Julia Gillard encouraged him to take up the cause and helped plan the bill's passage through caucus to the floor of Parliament.
In an interview with The National Times, Stephen Jones, the member for Throsby, in New South Wales, talked about how the Prime Minister and others in his party selected him to champion the gay marriage cause.
Yesterday, Mr Jones introduced his bill to the House of Representatives. Australian Greens MP Adam Bandt and independent Andrew Wilkie delivered a similar bill.
In December, Prime Minister Gillard brokered a compromise at Labor's national conference, supporting a conscience vote of her MPs but maintaining her own opposition to any changes to the marriage act.
Mr Jones conceded he had "a discussion with the Prime Minister. She agreed that I'd be the best person to take this bill up and we talked about how and when we might do that."

GLBT New and Prospective Parents Focus Group
Henry from The Bouverie Centre has asked Coming Out Australia to post this request:
They are looking for Gay Dads, Lesbian Mums to take part in a focus group, below is a brief description:
At the end of last year, my colleague Jennifer and I held some focus groups with service providers who work with new and prospective parents: maternal child health nurses, general counsellors, family mediators, psychologists, IVF counsellors, family therapists, midwives, educators, and others working in this general field.
We wanted to know what sort of information they would like to see in resources designed to support them to improve service delivery for same-sex parented families. The workers in this group had a range of experience. Some had met just a few same-sex parented families in their professional lives. Others had met many.
The groups were very interesting and it is clear that those who attended are invested in improving the services to GLBT parented families. They were eager to tell us where they thought services could be improved, but even more eager to hear what the clients themselves want. For some mainstream service providers there is a strong commitment to consumer-driven resource development and service delivery. For example, some of the maternal and child health nurses in the group wanted to know how to better support men who have newly arrived children from overseas surrogacy. Others were unsure about how to support both mums and dads in co-parenting relationships. Some counsellors in the groups had very astute questions and observations about the complexities of the emotional rollercoaster that new parenting can be, particularly when there is an added layer of stress that same-sex attracted parents often have to deal with, but they still had questions about how to offer the best service to families.
Therefore we would like to hear from more GLBT new parents/prospective parents about their experiences using mainstream service providers (or perhaps why they are reluctant to use them). If you live in Melbourne and are available to talk to us, we a hosting a lunchtime focus group:
Wednesday 7th March
Lunch will be provided
Children are welcome (we have toys)
The Bouverie Centre
8 Gardiner St, Brunswick, Melbourne
If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Henry at firstname.lastname@example.com or call Jen on 9385 5131 (leave a message if she does not answer!).
We realise that this timeslot will not be a good one for people who work, or people's who have children with midday sleep requirements. So if you can't make this time but are still keen to be involved, please get in touch anyway as we will try and arrange another time and/or some phone interviews as well.
RUGBY League grand final referee Matt Cecchin has revealed he is gay
I came across this story this morning on the Herald Sun Website. I applause Matt for being brave and to come out. In the world of sport and macho-ism, it must be hard to be accepted for who you are and to be respected. One thing that did stick out with the story, is the fact that he waited for his son to finish he HSC. People criticise gay people when they come out with regards to timing. It is up to the individual as to when they are ready to come out and to express that…
Here is Matt's Story as told in the Herald Sun……
Ending a closely held secret among parts of the rugby league community for the past six years, Cecchin has chosen to go public now his teenage son has completed his HSC.
Engaged 13 years ago, Cecchin told family and friends about his sexuality after reading retired NRL star Ian Roberts' book, Finding Out.
Cecchin becomes the first NRL official or player since Roberts in 1995 to declare he is gay.
"Like a lot of people, I thought to be gay you had to be feminine, you had to go to nightclubs and you had to be in the scene, and I was never into that," said Cecchin, who has refereed 116 NRL games and four Test matches.
"I played sport, I loved rugby league, I liked going to the pub with my mates.
"I would tell my mates to ask me every question they wanted answered. And there were some good ones, especially after a couple of schooners.
"Sure, sometimes it was uncomfortable. My old man played reserve grade for Newtown and comes from far north Queensland. I thought he'd take it really, really badly, but he was fantastic."
When Cecchin was chosen to referee last year's grand final he feared being confronted about his sexuality.
If so, he would have denied it, because his son was in the middle of his HSC exams.
"I didn't want to tip his world upside down," Cecchin said.
"I would do whatever I could to protect my son. He's been so good to me about it. It hasn't made the world of difference to him."
Cecchin said he had never been sledged by NRL players, coaches or officials and didn't expect to be.
"I can honestly say I've never, ever heard or been called anything to do with being gay on the field," Cecchin said.
"I haven't been treated as a token and I haven't been discriminated against.
"I'd be very surprised if I was the only gay person in rugby league.
"But me coming out has nothing to do with other people in rugby league.
"It has to do with the youth who are growing up today and may be going through a whole world of hurt and fear.
"My experience is they don't need to be. People are OK with it now."

A Menu of Suggested Provisions for Public Health Mutual Aid Agreements
Agreement Purpose or Background
Descriptive NoteThe initial paragraphs of an agreement often serve to introduce the subject matter of the agreement, provide background information, state the agreement's purpose, or cite to the legal authority underlying the agreement. In many instances, these sorts of provisions are not designed to create obligations, but to simply "set the stage" for the agreement. Provisions of this type may have a "political" motivation in that the primary intent may be to educate or persuade interested persons or entities not directly involved in developing the agreement concerning the issues to be addressed or benefits to be gained through the agreement. Such interested persons or entities might include legislators, chief government executives, the private sector, or other government jurisdictions or agencies.
Optional sample provisions
- The prompt, full and effective utilization of resources of the participating jurisdictions, including any resources on hand or available from any other source, that are essential to the safety, care, and welfare of the people in the event of any emergency or disaster declared by a Party shall be the underlying principle on which all articles of this Agreement shall be understood.
- The Parties realize that influenza pandemics have occurred three times in the last century, and history and science suggest that the world could face one or more pandemics in this century. The Parties further recognize that a pandemic could cause severe illness, death, and disruption throughout the world, and outbreaks can occur in many different locations all at the same time.
- The intent of this Agreement is to make equipment, personnel and other resources available to other Parties to the Agreement.
- The purpose of this Agreement is to protect the public health by providing mutual aid, and by establishing procedures in operating plans that will facilitate such aid.
- The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for mutual aid and assistance between the Parties entering into the Agreement when the resources normally available to a Party are not sufficient to cope with a situation which requires public health action. The public's health and well being will best be protected through the concerted efforts of multiple public health agencies providing assistance to one another. The promotion and coordination of this assistance through this Agreement is desirable for the effective and efficient provision of mutual aid and assistance.
- The purpose of this Agreement is to create a system of mutual aid between the Parties. Each Party recognizes that public health emergencies transcend political jurisdictional boundaries and that intergovernmental coordination is essential for the protection of lives and for best use of available assets. The system shall provide for mutual assistance among the Parties in the prevention of, response to, and recovery from, any public health emergency.
Stating a purpose relating to an emergency declared by the governor [Such a declaration may trigger activation of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). Mutual aid agreements intended to be operational during a declared emergency should be supplementary to and consistent with the provisions of EMAC, which has been enacted in all states and territories]:
- The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for mutual assistance between the Parties in managing any emergency or disaster that is duly declared by the governor, whether arising from natural disaster, infectious disease outbreak, technological hazard, man-made disaster, community disorder, insurgency, terrorism, or enemy attack.
- The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate sharing of public health related data, both individually identified and population-related, between Parties for the purpose, and no additional purpose, of preventing, detecting, or responding to a public health event, thus assuring prompt and effective identification of infectious disease and other agents that could affect public health, and to prevent further spread of disease.
- The primary goal of the collaborative approach between the Parties is to respond to surge capacity demands on public health systems and health resources efficiently when public health emergencies arise.
- The purpose of this Agreement is to address surge capacity. The Agreement describes the levels and sharing of laboratory services, procedures, responsibilities and reimbursement for laboratory testing, training and identification of infectious diseases and/or suspected bioterrorism select agents.

Class Attendance
Graduation Plans
Graduation Progress
WebAdvisor Tutorial
Students are expected to attend all lecture and laboratory sessions in courses for which they are registered. Absences interfere with the students' progress and reduce the quality of classroom interaction. Instructors are required to drop all students who never attend a course prior to the 10 percent of the course. Instructors may elect to drop students whose absences exceed 5 percent of all scheduled contact hours for the course. Absences are counted from the first class meeting of the semester.
Students who miss class due to participation in an official college function must notify the instructor prior to the absence. (An official college function is one that has been approved by the appropriate college vice president.) Under normal circumstances, the absence should not result in the students' total absences exceeding the maximum allowed by the course syllabus. If, however, the absence would result in a violation of the class attendance policy, then students must obtain written approval from the class instructor in order to be eligible to participate in the official college function.
Attendance requirements for each class are printed in the course syllabus distributed by the instructor. In addition, rules governing tardiness and leaving class early are addressed in each instructor's addendum to the syllabus.
Course Syllabi
Students are given a course syllabus in every class in which they are enrolled. The syllabus contains the college policy on minimum attendance requirements. This core syllabus is the same for any section of a particular course.
Along with the syllabus, students are given an addendum prepared by the individual faculty member which gives specific information on the instructor's attendance and lateness policy. The core syllabus will not change during the course (unless advances in knowledge on the topics covered necessitate a change), but the information in the addendum is subject to change. The instructor will notify students of any changes either orally or in writing as early as practicable. Instructors will make every effort to keep changes to a minimum but reserve the right to adjust the course as circumstances or need dictates. Students are responsible for learning about changes if they miss a class period in which a change was announced or given in writing.
