Brett Favre Again Defines Real Packers Fans
So Brett Favre will get his number retired by the Green Bay Packers and all that. Great. During the announcement today, Favre was again quick to point out who the real Packers fans are.
He's consistently done this, knowing there are Packers fans who still don't think much of him. That is, say crap like this.
Favre adds, "I know where the true Packers' fans hearts are."
— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) August 4, 2014
It's as if he's trying to shame people into loving him again. "You're not a real fan of the Green Bay Packers if you do not love Brett Favre. Now bow before Lord Favre."
I've got news for you. This is fucking bullshit. It's the same fucking bullshit he's been perpetrating for years — putting himself above the organization, talking down to the fans. It's the very reason some of us still don't fucking like him.
Not because of his laundry list of misdeeds. Those could be forgiven. Because of his continued stance that he is above everyone and everything.
Listen fuckface, you don't get to define who real Packers fans are. I don't care who you are or what you've done.
Personally, I've been on the fence about this whole thing. I hated Favre for the shit he pulled, playing for the Vikings and all of that. Time went on and I softened.
Favre is one of the greatest players in Packers history. He helped revitalize the franchise in the 1990s. He didn't do it alone, as some would have you believe, but he was a key cog in making that happen.
Let him come back and have his moment. Welcoming him back into the fold is the right thing to do. Blah, blah, blah.
Frankly, I'm not soft anymore. I cannot abide by this shit where Favre (or the organization, for that matter) thinks they can tell people how they should feel or how they should react.
It's the same type of me-first arrogance that made this whole situation unravel in the first place.
You want back in my good graces? Time is no longer the answer.
Show some humility for once and beg, you piece of shit.
I am a real Packers fan and I've got a message for Brett Favre.
Go fuck yourself. Again.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
Oh stop it. You're nothing but a butt hurt little twat. This whole website is nothing but one giant butt hurt entity. If you cannot accept what happened and move on, not to mention celebrate what Favre did for us for 16 years, then you don't deserve to be a Packer fan. So, promptly fuck off.
Maybe for old-times-sake we should announce we will retire his number…then waffle…then postpone it 3 years until 2018.
Then lets all message pictures of our cocks to Monty…
Everytime, EVERYTIME he talks about this, it's like he HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT!!!!!
Words like "maybe i should know when to walk away", "It was my fault", "Aaron Rodgers is a great player". It's like he's trying but again, HE DOESN'T GET IT!!!
HOW ABOUT YOU'RE SORRY??? How about words like REGRET, that you thought wrong, that you should never have done what you did because you were being a diva???
Seriously, this clown just doesn't GET IT!!!
It's not just what he did, it's that he shows NO REMORSE!!!
just like a woman – one minute you're for the retiring of the number then you're not. makes great headlines here though, huh. and E Wolf – did you ever send the petition in? or did you just shit can the idea? #4 – Packer HOF and number retired. i win.
If the organization really gave a shit they would poll the stockholders, poll Facebook, poll the related websites (not likely this one because we're too frank here), and have some folks ask around at family night…etc. Just get the pulse, and move forward based on collective opinions from a variety of sources. That way we could all get imperical data on if this is a serious issue with the fan base, or if it's just a few butt hurt folks. I'm not insulting anyone's feelings here. I'm just saying that I don't really know the collective fan base's position.
I guess even if I had the info…it wouldn't change anything that's GOING to happen with regards to his ceremony, enshrinement, and plaque of his gold plated poop by every restroom at LF.
What makes me happy is all you cunts have to look up there for their rest of your butthurt lives and see that big number 4 sitting next to Starr, Nitschke, Canadeo, Hutson, and White's numbers in Lambeau. Forever.
Daniel: actually it does not bother me and I believe most that Favre's number will be retired. What bothers at least me is I do not need someone to tell me how I should react.
It is amazing how all you who support Favre must resort to calling those who disagree with you names. It shows a sign of weakness on your part. The other thing is both you and J refer to butt hurt. Not wanting to call anyone names, just a question, is that a condition both of you developed from being Favre's bitches for so long?
are you kidding me, howard??? what have all the Favre haters on this site – admin and commenters – done BUT call Favre and his supporters names since he left GB.
and you "lecture" daniel – and then you end with the "favre's bitches" line. ;) that's good. such the hypocrite. who's the real bitch?
Are you for real Jeff? If you look at any of my Posts I do not call any Packer fan a name unless they attack another Packer fan first with some of the foul crap Daniel and J spew. The one exception was Wolf and I was man enough to apologize immediately afterward. I do not know what sort of warped vendettas guys like J, Daniel, or any others have but it is bullshit as we are all Packer fans if we love, hate or are someplace in between on Favre. Calling other Packers fans the vulgar shit J and Daniel did yesterday is bullshit and I called them on it. Now I am man enough to apologize for what I said. Are any of you others man enough. We will see who are the hypocrites.
I've got news for you. This is fucking bullshit. It's the same fucking bullshit he's been perpetrating for years — putting himself above the organization, talking down to the fans. It's the very reason some of us still don't fucking like him.
Listen fuckface, you don't get to define who real Packers fans are. I don't care who you are or what you've done.
When Favre is home with his family watching reruns of the Dukes of Hazzard or Nascar, cooking up something I typically would mow in my yard, or randomly firing shots at some overgrown southern rodent, you know all his cousins, many of whom are married to each other, are all advising him as to the disposition of True Packer Fans.
I for one, still get it. Brett's legacy was created by fans, players, announcers, media, celebrities, etc. If anyone else was in his shoes you would have felt betrayed by the organization to some degree too. To some degree you may have even sought revenge against them. It's human nature, it's called the "Selfish" gene and ALL people have it (Richard Dawkins).
Sure, Brett let his celebrity status and God-like adoration get to his head…but who cares, I would have too and I know that I'm not alone!
He was a major factor/ contributor in YOUR franchise resurrecting itself from a nothing burger. Just imagine the alternative had Ron Wolf never traded for him and paired him with Mike Holmgren. I think Holmgren was more power hungry and greedy about his departure and needs than Favre ever was.
He (Favre) just couldn't get along with the new regime. Look at the way Elway rolls out the carpet for Manning (after Indy let him go in a much more classy manner) for an example of how a franchise should treat a legend of the game. Sure, Favre wavered and played a few head games, who cares!? Not every person or athlete reacts the same to these types of rare situations.
I never lost my support for Favre and I'm biased because I remember how he got me excited to watch football every Sunday. His child-like enthusiasm on the field was infectious and following his soap opera was equally exhausting and entertaining in it's own right. Whatever you might think of him, he holds most of the #1 records in NFL History to this day and some he might hold possibly forever.
I think the alternative might not have been so bad. Wolf drafted Mark Brunell and Matt Hasslebeck, two very good, successful NFL QBs. With Holmgren as HC, we still would have had a real good shot at multiple SBs.
Brunell would have done just as well as Favre. In 1996, Brunell lead a two year old franchise with a terrible offensive line and an average defense to the AFC Championship game where they lost to the Patriots. By the late 90s, Brunell was easily outperforming Favre.
Favre had the #1 defense and the best punt return guy in the history of the game. Brunell, who single handedly almost took the Jaguars to the Super Bowl in their second year, would have taken the Packers to the Super Bowl.
That is revisionist history-you have no idea how well Brunell would have performed. Brunell had teams equal in calibre to Favre's and he never won a SB. BTW, Brunell had one of the best D's in football for a number of years, including the year they beat the Donkeys.
You really think Desmond Howard is the best retun man in history? You have to be kidding. I can think of half a dozen better ones off the top of my head: Hester, Hall, Sayers, Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, Neon Deion, the dude from the Redskins.
You're missing the point. No one would begrudge Holmgren or Favre for moving on. It's THE WAY they did it that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Holmgren wanted more power. I would assume in some circles he made this clear. The organization said "we're quite happy with Ron Wolf, thanks all the same" and so Holmgren left. What did Favre do? He waffled over retirement for about 12 years, give or take, then….he ACTUALLY RETIRED. I listened to his damn speech.
All that happened is well chronicled. I don't need to rehash it. All I can say is that probably no one here would have the animosity that they do if he'd played 3 years in NY and retired as a Jet. Or, am I totally off base?
it is kind of ironic that in '08 the ol' dickslinger said publicly to/about Ted Thompson, "Let me worry about my legacy." or something close. Well, he certainly took complete charge of that! At this point in time one thing is for sure, once the poop is out of the chute it ain't going back in, no matter how many times you try to define "real" Packers fans.
Brett is a proper piece of shit. Go ahead retire the number but the true fan base should not have to celebrate it or feel nostalgic about what he did before he shit on the whole organization. People forget that Ted offered him 2 million a year just to be a part of the organization. Just don't be a dick and we will pay you, he decided to be the dick.
I feel nothing for the man. I hope the stadium just stays silent. No boos, no cheers, just awkward silence for something that used to be but is no longer. Fuck that dude. Long live Green Bay Packers!
Looks like Monty is drinking the E. Wolf koolaid.
On a side-note, you all sound like a bunch of hot-headed, loudmouth idiots.
Favre deserves the credit. If you don't like it, that is too bad. Nothing you can do about it. So get a life and move on.
jesus, are any of you Favre hatters over 18? 18?
He was part of the salvation of the Pack after the long drought.
He played for another team for a few years. A bit of bonus time for him. get over it
Brunell would have done just as good as favre? Are you fucking stupid? They would have won multiple super bowls? OK dipshits. Favre was coming off seasons of 33, 38, 39, and 35 TD passes along with three straight mvps. At that time quarterback had ever had four straight 30 TD seasons and three MVPs period much less three in a row. But yeah, let's roll with unproven mark brunnel after Favre rolled out those four gem seasons. Holmgren, mariucci, Andy Reid, and john gruden all watched brunnel practice on a daily basis but thought well we will go safe and stick with favre. Idiots. You know what guys? Let's make sure wendont make that same mistake again. Let's get of Rodgers now and make tolzien the starter! I think we can win multiple super bowls with him! LETS DO IT!
It has always been a foregone conclusion that Favre would have his number retired. It would be disrespectful to Ron Wolf to not do so. It would also be disrespectful to Lambeau field to boo any former player who won a championship or Super Bowl. I for one, if there would not boo Favre. I would remain silent with my face in a paper. On the front page center would be Favre throwing his interception to the saints in the NFC championship game. Above would be Favre throwing the six playoff Int's to the Rams. Below would be Favre throwing the four playoff INT's to the despicable Vikings. On either side would be Favre throwing up the wobbling duck overtime losing INT's to the Giants and the Eagles. Not sure were to put the picture of the three playoff INT's to the Falcons. On the back page I would put that phony sack Favre gave up to Strahan. It shows Favre's true character After Holmgren and his father were no longer in his life. A fake.
Every time I try to walk away, you pull me back in….
Here's one for you–True human beings don't immediately stop their charity help for Wisconsin residents with breast cancer when the Pack doesn't welcome Brent's ass back from another un-retirement. That's right–Deanna's charity STOPPED serving women in Wisconsin when the Lord of Dick Pix went to the Jets.
Some humility, you pig. The truest of fans were the ones who's hearts were broken when someone they idolized turned out to be as big a piece of shit as so many other pro-sports divas….

Is it normal for baby to have cough lasting months?
My 9 month old has had a cough with congestion every other week since November. The cough gets so bad that he vomits his food and often gags. He has been to the doctor several times and was diagnosed with RSV in December but is now March and it still is not better. The pediatrition says that since he is in daycare it is normal for him to be sick and have colds often. I don't think this is normal and need answers. Please help! We go back to the doctor tomorrow.

Yes daycare is a major cause of many colds, but you want to be sure you're not being "blown off" since you see your Dr so much they may just think "oh gosh it so and so again, what now." So a second opinion is Always a good that's what I would do. Typically children who get RSV were premature or have lower function immune systems. It could aslo be that he could have a common cold AND an element of asthma/allergy as well. You could see an asthma allergy Dr or a pulmonologist at a Children's hospital. Good luck and be persistent if you feel that your not being heard.posted 02/28/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
My 21-month has a cough that seems like its not going away. Like your son, my son also gags and vomits if he is coughing bad, Our pediatrician also said that it because he is daycare. However, my husband and I weren't conceived that it was just a cold, so we recently took him to see a pulmonologist. The pulmonogist is testing for allergies. I should know something later this week. As alreadly suggested, I would seek a second opinion from a pumonologist. I did get the impression that my son's pediatrician wasn't taken the issue seriously because he is in daycare. I do understand that he will pick up colds, but this cough was going away and it was starting to affect his sleep.posted 03/06/2013 by hsabala

Asked the same question myself, Rootgrow has always done me proud, as my sig says if it isnt broke dont mend it, but saying that if its a far superior product I could be tempted.
Can i just ask what advantages this has over Rootgrow?
E2a:- Well done mate on getting these products up for sale, good luck but i doubt you'll need it i'm sure there going to be a big hit

Do the granules (the Mycorrhiza), work in all types of soil? Loam, peat etc?
I seem to remember OT1 saying you could only cultivate a microherd in some types of soil.
Yeah, OT1 told me that the more loam you have in your soil the longer they live. The reverse is true for peat.

sorry if this has been answered but whats the difference between granules and the essence? granules = better application for soil?
Posted 03 February 2009 - 11:37 PM
DoctorD high levels of salt will kill the good micro flora in soil... but if you start feeding with molasses (or a good carbohydrate source) and go organic you could introduce good life...
sorry if this has been answered but whats the difference between granules and the essence? granules = better application for soil?
i'm not feeding salt ferts, but the multip. compost has already some with it.. witch will be used up in about 2 weeks from potting up, so i lead to believe..
but since it is in there for that long, will that counteract the granules effect?
essence has different ingredience..
granules has soil living organisms..
correct me if i'm wrong please..

Ive told plant magic Ill answer the odd question if I know the answer Ill chip in to help out a bit until he gets more time.
hedgejumper, I think the granules work best if they come into direct contact with live roots, so a quick dust of granules on to the root ball when you plant out, or a dust in the planting hole so the granules come into direct contact with the roots when planting, will get your plants off to a good start and inoculate the new roots as they grow into the surrounding soil.
The Villain, inoculating with the granules, is the place to start. Try it and see how it goes.
semtex the granules work well with allmix, the premix and worm compost in it make a good environment for the micro heard to thrive, adding pock dust and calcified seaweed just help more in supporting the micro heard.
As a general comment while mycorrhizals work in symbiosis with roots, they need a soil/compost that they can help the plant with, so they are not much good with pure peat compost that only have chemical salt fertilisers as nutrients. Pure peat composts are like a desert, pretty much a dead medium, the fungi an bacteria spores in the granules have nothing to work with. Adding worm compost, rock dust and manure products start to bring it alive, as do humates and fulvates.

#summary Steps and tricks to apply linb to a formal project
#labels Phase-Deploy,Featured
=Linb in Formal Projects=
=====By Martin Feng=====
This article lists steps and tricks to apply linb to a formal project.
====Symbol Links in NTFS====
You will need to use symbol link to make your project better organized. If you are on Windows, download Junction from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-CA/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx. It can create symbol link across partitions.
Some articles on Web talk about delete symbol link in Windows Explorer also deletes the folder pointed to by the symbol link. It is NOT TRUE on my Windows XP. I guess Microsoft fixed that. You can test at your Windows to make sure it doesn't happen.
==Prepare Environment on Your Local Machine ==
====Install Web server + PHP at Your Local Computer====
For Windows, an easy way is http://bitnami.org/stack/wampstack, which installs apache + PHP + MySQL.
====Download Linb From Google Code====
You should download using subversion: http://code.google.com/p/linb/source/checkout, so it's easy to get updated
====Publish Downloaded Folder jsLinb[[x.y]] through Web Server====
You can either create a symbol link (points to folder jsLinb[[x.y]]) under your web server publishing folder, or copy folder jsLinb[[x.y]] to web server publishing folder. You can also optionally create a virtual host for it too.
====Create Symbol Link Points to Your Working Folder under Linb====
The simple Linb UI builder is more like a tool to try out linb quickly. For a formal project, we have to use the advanced version. The advanced version can only manage projects under folder jsLinb[[x.y]]\VisualJS\projects, and in most cases our working folder is at somewhere else (for instance, in our subversion working copy folder). So we need to create a symbol link under folder jsLinb[[x.y]]\VisualJS\projects, which points to the working folder located elsewhere. For example:
jsLinb[[x.y]]\VisualJS\projects\cloud -> working_branch\cloud\webapp
Make sure web server has write permission to your working folder.
==Plan Web Application Layout==
The goal is to break UI related JavaScript and logic related JavaScript into different files, so they can be modified independently by different team members easily.
====The Default Application Layout of Linb and getCom====
Create a new project with linb IDE (hosted at your local web server) you can see all UI related JavaScript are saved at folder App\js. This default layout matches the rule used by linb.ComFactory.getCom. You should read chapter 4 "Distributed UI" of jsLinb[[x.y]]\cookbook\linb3.0-guide.en.doc to have a basic understanding of how linb distributed UI works.
* You should not take time reading the details of all the UI controls until you start to use some of them in your projects.
* According to author of linb, linb.UI.Tag is seldom used now. Simply ignore it.
* My experience is the conf.js can be ignored too. It's good enough to use names like App.Module to load distributed modules
====Modify the Default Application Layout====
With linb IDE, all event handling JavaScript is added to the same js file which generates the UI. Now let's break them up:
# Rename the App folder to AppUI. Also change class names from App.Module to AppUI.Module. Nothing breaks.
# Do not add any event in linb IDE.
# Initialize all event hooking logic in onEnd callback parameter of linb.ComFactory.getCom or linb.Com.load.
Suppose you have a control whose id is "treebar_main" (defined in IDE), in the onEnd callback, refer to it with:
var treebar_main = this.treebar_main;
To add event handler to it:
treebar_main.beforeClickEffect(function(profile, item, e, src, type) { ... });
We can go one step further to put the business logic JavaScript into another lib.Com object:
# Create a new folder named App and subfolder App\js.
# Create file App\js\Module1.js like this:
Class('App.Module1', 'linb.Com',{
initialize : function()
this.func_name = function(para1, para2)
linb.ComFactory.getCom('AppUI.Module1', function()
// business logic code that hooks up all events. which can refer para1, para2 too.
var treebar_main = this.treebar_main;
App\js\Module1.js contains the code to load up AppUI\js\Module1.js and initialize business logic related to it. The only constraint between App\js\Module1.js and AppUI\js\Module1.js is the ID of business logic related UI controls should be consistent.
To load up and initialize App\js\Module1.js with parameters:
linb.ComFactory.getCom('App.Module1', function()
this.func_name(para1, para2);
==Using Dialogs==
====Generate Dialog UI====
With linb, web application doesn't have to navigate from page to page as traditional ones. It's more nature and easy to stay in one page and use JavaScript to popup a dialog for a new group of function instead of navigate to another page. However, with linb IDE you cannot generate the UI code for a dialog directly. Here is how we do it:
# Open the linb UI builder (the simpler version of linb IDE).
# Delete the button added by default and drop a dialog to the design area.
# Switch to code view, delete the code related to the button just deleted.
# Change the first code line to Class("AppUI.DlgName", "linb.Com",{
# Copy the content of the code view to a new js file AppUI\js\DlgName.js

====Dialog Tricks====
=====To create a modal dialog=====
Modify the customAppend function in dialog UI to:
this.dlg_id.show(null, true);
Be noted that the JavaScript actually describes a linb.Com object containing a dialog, not a dialog object. So this refers to the linb.Com object.
=====To reuse a dialog instance:=====
* Hide the dialog and return false at the beforeClose event of the dialog so the dialog will not be destroied
return false;
* Always use linb.ComFactory.getCom to loadup / show the dialog
The main tasks for deployment are:
* Compress all JavaScript and css files, including distributed JavaScript files under App\js and AppUI\js
* Make sure the deployed code uses compressed linb library (for example, not linb-debug.js)
* If the user of the web application locate mainly out of China mainland, use linb library hosted on appspot instead of hosted on our own server: http://jslinb.appspot.com/runtime/jsLinb/js/linb-all.js
* jsLinb[[x.y]]\build\build_linb.bat compresses and joins multiple JavaScript files into one file
* deploy_linbapp.pl: Deployment script running on Linux. Besides java and YUI compressor, it requires subversion command line client program svn, and UNIX command line program rm and cat to delete and join files. To make it work on Windows, you can install a subversion windows command line client, and modify the call to rm and cat to del and type

Tyranny of the Majority in Egypt?
Nathan Brown, Foreign Affairs
AP Photo
From a liberal democratic perspective, there is much to like in Egypt's new constitution and some things to worry about as well. There are also gaping holes and ambiguities that only politics can fill in -- and, given the current state of Egyptian democracy, that is where the real problems lie.

Housing affordability index is a bad measure of "affordability" in 2008
Friday, December 5, 2008
I saw an article on another weblog about the record-high National Association Realtor's Housing Affordability Index (HAI). The author of the post could not believe that this news had not made headlines because that is "good news for the real estate market, since it will help in the recovery process."
I disagree. The 2008 HAI only reflects precipitously falling home prices, and we already knew that. But bank lending standards are extremely tight, and obtaining a mortgage is increasingly difficult. Bank lending standards are not included in the index's composition, so no matter how low the price falls, potential homebuyers may not be able to get a loan.
The chart lists the HAI composite index spanning January 1976 to October 2008. There is an obvious correlation between mortgage rates and the affordability index. In 1981 mortgage rates surged amid record inflation (see this post for an interest rate chart), and housing affordability (HAI) hit a cyclical low. During the Volcker disinflation era – 1981 to 1983 - mortgage rates fell, and housing affordability surged.
October 2008 HAI hit a peak since 1994 but not because interest rates are falling. Affordability is high because the median home price fell to $181,800 - a 12% decline since May 2008 (just five months ago) - while mortgage rates rose 0.13% to 6.23%. This cannot describe affordability in the current housing market because increasingly tight bank lending standards are left out of the HAI (you can see the components of the index here), and most households cannot afford a home without a mortgage loan.
Even if potential homebuyers wanted to purchase a home at rock-bottom pricing, it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain funding. According to the Federal Reserve Bank's Senior Loan Officer Survey, "Large majorities of domestic respondents reported having tightened their lending standards on prime, nontraditional, and subprime residential mortgages over the previous three months."
Real estate loan growth in 2008 is down significantly. Annual loan growth started to decelerate in February 2007 and continued to decelerate on into September 2008. October loan growth surged, but that is simply a technicality. According to the Fed, loans from nonbanking institutions (probably WaMu) were assumed by banking institutions, and the shift in assets explains the surge in real estate lending (commercial and real estate). Without this technicality, monthly real estate lending would have declined.
The housing market is crippled. The Fed and the Treasury are trying to create incentives to kickstart demand and supply in the mortgage market. Until incentives or lending standards change, the housing market is set to fall further.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by 24 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LitlApril Happy Dogs! These are great for getting glucosamine/chondrotin into my two dogs without fighting with them to take pills. They both get very excited when they see me opening up this bag! What's even better, I was still noticing my one little guy crackling when using the pills but that's just not the case anymore! I hardly ever hear any cracking of his spine so I truly believe he's getting more benefit from these! January 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hbush2056 Great product cheaper than local store My 12 year old Standard Poodle loves these in both Beef and Venison flavor. It's hard to get him to willingly eat products with glucosamine in them, but he would eat a whole bag of these in one sitting if I let him! He was already taking another, stronger, glucosamine product when he started on these so I can't say I noticed a difference in his mobility with this product in particular, but I definitely think glucosamine helps old dogs stay active. The difference is I had to force the other product on him and this one he loves. Everyone thinks he's a puppy when they see him out walking and running around. I love buying them on Chewy.com. It's more convenient and the price is a little cheaper than the store I get them at locally - there is only one store that carries them. This is an expensive product, but it's worth it. Great product and online store. December 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DoggieMomma13 Dogs LOVE them! Great treats! My dogs come running when they hear the bag and just can't get enough. Looks and smells like real jerky, but nice and soft to chew. Fast delivery and great quality. January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by becauseofyou Dogs LOVE these!!!! I have 11 dogs here in my home, all seniors and dogs with arthritis, etc. I founded a Chihuahua rescue but after 8 years of saving dogs, I had to temporarily shut it down to care for my husband who is battling cancer. These old dogs were the ones that no one wanted to adopt. I give them their meds every morning and then each one gets a Venison treat with the glucosamine and chondroitin to help them feel better naturally. I do the venison because they eat those better than any other meat source. They don't know these are good for them!! All the better!!! December 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by flyingmoose2 Excellent product for our dog's joint health. Ark Naturals Sea Mobility Joint Rescue has been a huge help for our black lab's ability to walk again after surgery that was less than helpful. She is unable to walk on her right back leg. She had almost given up walking altogether until we ordered this product and now, although she still has trouble, seems to be in better spirits and able to ambulate much better. So happy to have tried it. Our cat also loves this product so the dog has to share. Becky December 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by svmamasita Tastes great! Apparently my 13 year-old kitty thinks this is better than cat food! He gets two squares a day and he gobbles them up immediately. I believe I am seeing a slight improvement in his gait and will continue giving him the treats. October 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MsRiley loves them Riley loves them not sure how they will work yet but she didn't turn them down...she's a ten yr old GS and the weather is turning cold. She's moving a little gingerly off her couch right now. I hope these help some... She's still chasing the squirrels though November 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by katbat YUM My dog loves these. They need to be in strips. Squares are too small!!! July 17, 2013

PS3 and PSP Bundles incoming
Posted by Jason in Greatest Hits, Hardware, PS3, PS3 software, PSP, QuickNews on May 25th, 2011
Looks like we have a few new bargains in the form of bundles coming our way. The first is the Dad's and Grad's bundle featuring MLB The Show and GranTurismo along with a 2gb memory card and a piano black PSP.
You can grab one for $159.99 this June. Honestly I have both titles and these are some graphical power house's with killer game play. Great bundle idea. The next bundle is a Black Ops bundle featuring a PlayStation 3 slim and Black ops for $299.99 The first strike DLC is included. Personally, I feel this game is so flawed, I cant believe they are giving it a bundle. The name alone will sell it I guess. May 31st is the release date.
ModNation Racers Reaches 2 Million Creations/Greatest Hits
Posted by Jay in Greatest Hits, Media, ModNation Racers on March 3rd, 2011
I have yet to pick this game up, but according to the developers, players have now made over 2 million creations. To go along with that announcement, the game is also a Greatest Hit, so you an pick it up for $29.99, both at retailers and on PSN (on the NA store anyway).
To celebrate, they want you to pay attention to the ModNation Monday posts all month for contests and stuff, starting next Monday. Be sure to look out for that!
There is also a contest going on, held by Progressive Insurance; the Progressive ModNation Gran Prix, where you can win a 46″ Sony Bravia and a PS Move Sports Champions bundle (they are also sponsoring a free Parts Pack).
I'll have to pick this up sooner or later…

Official Word on UK PS3 Bundles
Posted by Jay in Blu-ray Movies, FIFA 10, Greatest Hits, Hardware Bundles, inFamous, Need For Speed Shift, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on September 25th, 2009
It looks like Sony will, indeed, be offering bundles (at least in the UK) for the PS3, featuring 250GB hard drives (the Final Fantasy XIII bundle was already confirmed for Japan). They will start showing up on October 1st (which is when the PSP Go also launches). The first bundles to show up will vary between multiple titles, including one that comes with two Greatest Hits titles and the other will be an inFamous bundle (for those of you who haven't played inFamous, it's really good!).
On October 16th, an Uncharted 2 bundle will hit shelves (day and date with the actual game release) and a couple days later on the 19th, the Blu-Ray movie pack will be made available, which also includes a Blu-Ray remote and a copy of both X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Dark Knight. Also, according to a press release from yesterday, there will also be FIFA 10 and Need for Speed: Shift bundles. The bundles will go on sale for GBP 284.99. As far as why Sony decided to come out with these bundles, they stated:
Following the great success of the new, smaller, 120GB PS3, which sold over one million units in its first three weeks on sale, the 250GB model has the same hardware specifications as the current model, but with greater storage space, to offer consumers even more choice.
No word on whether or not any bundles will hit the states, though.

Took a Video of the many of the lights I have tried and currently use when riding.. Video taken from 15 feet away..
Output estimates are: 200-225 lumens for Romisen RC-C8 Flood to throw.. Super nice light using R2 emitter and gives you tight throw to full flood.. Nice because it uses AAA as well as 18650 cells.. Long runtime using 18650 - 3-4 hours on high mode.. Flashing mode very useful because it is much slower than the fenix - about 100 pulses per minute
XTAR P7 - 400 Lumen output.. I put this in the mix because of the longer runtime, close to 2 hours and because I have dropped and abused this light and it just keeps running, some 2 years after I bought it.. I normally gives this to friends who have no lights. Smaller size and weight make it ideal for helmet light.. Under 4 ounces without batteries..
Romisen RC-2R4 II R5 LED flashlight- 300 lumens.. Orange Peel Reflector make this a very nice light if you are on a budget, give you distinct hotspot with a fair amount of spill.. Longer runtime over P7 or MC-3 lights. 2.5 to 3 hours on high mode..
Magicshine P7 Bike Light - Still love this light, about 500+ lumens OTF.. Long runtime, solid output.. I know the new ones have battery issues, but this 1st gen light is still going strong for me.. I have to top up battery before riding to get 2+ hour runtime on high mode, but that is fine..
Elektrolumens EDC-MCe- 700 lumens OTF. Brightest single cell 18650 light on the market.. Beam shape does not have distinct hotspot, the beam is just bright and smooth, perfect for bike riding. Downside is light has 1 hour runtime - single mode light.. You do get about 15 minutes of diminished output which is still bright enough to ride at speed.. Light is quite expensive but you will not be disappointed.
All these lights can be used with Twofish Lockblocks or Cyclopblocks..
I have provided links below for all the lights shown and here is the video for all the light..

Jamaica's Culture of Torture and Death
Timothy Kincaid
July 21st, 2009
Jamaica is an evil place to live if you are gay. This we have reported on this many times.
The Associated Press has an article that reports, yet again, the daily torture and careless cruelty that Jamaicans impose on the gay sons and daughters of that island.
By now, you'd think I'd be immune to yet another Jamaica story. But this paragraph got to me.
Sherman, meanwhile, is simply trying to move on with his life. But he said he will always remember how, after his attack, patrolmen roughly lifted his bloodied body out of their squad car when a man admonished them for aiding a "batty boy." A woman shamed them into driving him to a hospital; they stuffed him in the car's trunk.
So predominant is hatred of gay people there that it outweighs basic decency – simple compassion you'd show a dog.

Here for your consideration is an extraordinarily rare and lovely early China ROHMER French Fashion, replicated for your pleasure by internationally recognized artist, Judge and Doctor of Dollmaking, Margaret Wolfe-Wilson, aka Margaret-Anne...and, yes, that's me.She has been cast from a Doll Artisan Guild 2011 Convention mold and very happy to say that she has been taken down to our new favorite size, 12"-13" French Fashion , with Rohmer forearms poured in Bell's Blue/White porcelain, glazed and fired to a beautiful transluscent finish. Her decoration (features) have been painted with the utmost of care to make her as close and authentic as her antique counterpart. She has Hand Glasscraft Paperweight eyes in a brown/hazel and wears an exquisite little handmade and hand dyed curly lambskin wig. Her eyelids are dark and tapered on the ends but left heavier through the center to give her that dreamy, almost swooning look....definitely a young girl in love! The eyelashes and brows are correctly placed being careful to give them the right angle as on the antique. The mouth accenting includes the upper and lower lip accent lines, as well as that very distinctive fine line designating the separation of the lips and upturned at the corners to accentuate her slightly smiling expression! This auction is for this beautiful head on her shoulderplate, and her bisque hands/arms which have been glazed and which makes her sparkle like a little jewel. As the picture shows the arms are up to just above the elbow, with accenting between the fingers and a light outline defining each fingernail as well as a bit of blush on her elbows and top of the palms. She has also a wonderful natural curl lambskin wig also made by the artist. Her headdress is fashioned from ribbonwork and flowers made of antique ribbons (early 1900s), and a "not vintage" silk ribbon rosette, and also includes a bit of antique hat veiling of gold mesh. Ribbonwork on my dolls is a sort of trademark of one of my dolls, as it is a true passion of mine. She was created by Madmoiselle Rohmer, and was the first fashion doll on which the patent was acquired for a swivel neck, and the very unusual neck configuration known as "cup-n-saucer". There is an insert from the shoulderplate into the head allowing the head to swivel. This has been lined with fine leather to allow her to turn without grinding of porcelain to porcelain. She could certainly wear a pendant, but I did not want to cover the innovative (ca. 1858) neck assembly. If you wish to add one you may, of course, do so. This is such an unusual and historically significant characteristic, that I would suggest a dress that displays this feature. M arg aret imbues her dolls with much love and care and hopes that her new "curator" will appreciate her and love her as this treasure deserves. Her head circumference is 5 1/2" and on the correct leather body, she would be 12" tall. Create-A-Doll offers an authentic Rohmer Leather Body, which was developed "just for this doll", (but also available for Leontine, a 16" doll) and this body is unique in that it has little chords coming out from the torso with tiny clips which would hold her in a sitting position when clipped to the knee. This uniquely special body would make her 13" tall when standing. The body choice is yours. If you want her to sit, you will need to ask for this body and have the body made for you with the proper legs attached, and you would need to ask Create-A-Doll to include the glazed legs as your doll (called Leonette) is a glazed China Rohmer. OR... You should look for a French Fashion leather gussetted body of approximately 10" measurement from shoulder to foot, which would simply allow her to stand instead of the sitting version. An excellent source for these authentic and appropriate bodies is Ann Evans in Chubbuck, Idaho. Her website is . She knows most of the available molds, and will make you the leather arms that go above the elbow, wherein you can inse...

(Rome, Italy) - The World Council of Credit Unions' (WOCCU) kicked off its inaugural World Credit Union Conference today, headed by new CEO Pete Crear. In his first formal address to the international credit union system as WOCCU's leader, Crear demonstrated the passion for credit unions for which L.R. "Bobby" McVeigh, WOCCU chairman, later praised him. During Crear's briefing on the Present State of the Worldwide Movement, he noted that, though last year's statistics were impressive, "this movement is much more than numbers."
Presenting a short but comprehensive summary of 2004, he highlighted successes such as the immediate aid given to victims of the tsunami and the expanding IRnet program, and challenges such as the competition for donor funding. He also touched on the work in post- conflict nations. His conviction could be felt when he declared that we must not abandon such countries, saying, "though safety is paramount...our ability to affect social change is clear, and so is our responsibility."
Crear wrapped up by issuing a set of challenges, urging audience members to do their part in strengthening the credit union difference—and to start by reaching out to others at the Conference. He stressed his desire to meet as many participants as possible, to gain perspective on the needs of their respective movements and members. "We can meet our goals, but to do this we must work together," concluded Crear.
Monday's keynoter, Sherron Watkins, best known as the Enron whistleblower and a Time Magazine "Person of the Year," spoke to the audience about the need for good governance. She organized her talk around two central questions, the first being how an employee can keep from rationalizing when he or she realizes that something is amiss in the organization or is asked to participate in potentially illegal activity. She stressed that ordinary employees can be caught in a trap of illegality by ignoring their instincts for too long. Her advice on combatting this problem was to apply the "3-M Rule"—to imagine discussing the issue with a respected mentor, a mother, or seeing it in print by the media and to ask oneself if the situation brings about a feeling of shame. If you can say yes to any of the three, don't do it.
Watkins' second question is particularly pertinent to the credit union sector:"How do you make sure that the code of values you have worked so hard to develop—that mission statement—is not just a sheet of paper," Watkins asked. She described how Enron's mission statement was constantly touted even as corruption carried on for years. While describing her personal experience of being caught in the eye of the storm throughout one of the worst corporate scandals in recent history, she painted the picture of a larger corporate environment that has gone bankrupt in the area of moral responsibility. In the United States, she explained, CEO pay is up to 531 times higher than that of an average employee. She quoted Warren Buffett as saying, "corporate reform is alive when we see CEO pay go down."
Despite the outrageous abuses of power Watkins has witnessed and now recounts, her message was hopeful. She preached individual responsibility against passing the buck and groupthink. Instead of blaming the few in power, it is up to us to hold them accountable before the abuses start. "An Enron doesn't happen but for the rationalizations of the many," she said. To stop such crimes "takes us being angry about it—each one of us."
The day continued with a series of eight stimulating break-out sessions, headed by the presidents, vice-presidents and managers of many of the diverse credit unions associations in attendance. There are eight such sessions each day except Wednesday, when there are four. Today's covered topics ranging from "Mounting a Campaign Against Taxation," a talk led by Grzegorz Bierecki, WOCCU director for Poland, and Daniel Mica, CUNA and Affiliates president and CEO; to the popular Best Practices seminar. Both of these sessions, as well as several others, were offered in Spanish.
Other break-out sessions held today included "Mergers: What to Consider Before Taking the Plunge," hosted by Pat Fay, executive manager of the Irish League of Credit Unions and Bob Hoel, executive director of the Filene Research Institute, and "Global Regulatory Trends," hosted by JoAnn Johnson, chair of the National Credit Union Administration and Brandon Khoo, executive general manager of the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority.
In the evening, WOCCU Supporters were invited to a special reception in which they visited the Sistine Chapel on a private tour. Every year, WOCCU honors those who have helped them make international development possible. After the official opening day of the packed program, WOCCU and the 1,124 participants in the world's first International Credit Union Conference are enthusiastic to proceed with what is sure to be a memorable four days for all.

AMC to Ride 'Hell on Wheels' Into A Second Season and The Significance of Standing On Its Own
Even though the most cynical of critics will tell you that the western is dead, cable viewers and more importantly, AMC thought differently. The cable network that successfully launched Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead gave Hell on Wheels a second season to continue its tale of the Transcontinental Railroad during the Reconstruction era of the United States.
Hell on Wheels fit right in with AMC's other original scripted dramas, featuring a complex knot of longer, drawn-out serialized narratives instead of quicker, stand-alone stories. It looks at the massive good and bad that the train brought including the greed and corruption; it sheds light on the less than smooth transition for the emancipated slaves and the ever-changing climate of the immigrant.
With the corpses still warm from the Civil war, Hell on Wheels follows specifically Anson Mount who stars as Cullen Bohannon, a former Confederate soldier looking to avenge his wife's murderers while working as a foreman on the railroad, a cold-hearted industrialist played by Colm Meaney and Elam Ferguson, a freed slave played by rapper/actor Common. Other prominent actors include Dominique McElligott (The Philanthropist), Tom Noonan (Heat), Ben Esler (The Pacific), Philip Burke (Law & Order) and Eddie Spears (Into the West).
Hell on Wheels was coupled with The Walking Dead on Sunday nights and performed well in its first season. The pilot episode tallied 4.4 million viewers on November 4, AMC's second highest debut (to The Walking Dead) and since then leveled out to two and three million average viewers each week. The series has three remaining episodes in its first season with the final and tenth episode, "God of Chaos" airing January 15.
What will be more interesting to see is if AMC continues to pair Hell on Wheels with The Walking Dead, making for a zombie-western double feature for the fall and winter Sunday nights next year. Who knew that AMC would become the new network for genre series? I'll believe it when I see them working on a science fiction and/or fantasy series. And since we're voicing our secret desires, I'd throw good money down to see a martial arts series. Just saying.
That's the kind of hope that AMC gives when they announce a new series. Conspiracy thriller Rubicon was an excellent series too (predating Showtime's excellent Homeland), but it wasn't strong enough to be a lead in for Mad Men, nor would have Mad Men been a strong enough draw in the casual viewers like The Walking Dead has. That little zombie series could be the chicken the keeps laying golden eggs.
If not, then the true test of Hell on Wheels is whether it can be moved to its own to help launch another series down the road. The network has just one more year to milk Breaking Bad; Mad Men can't run forever either. Something must be able to fill that spring or summer gap in 2013. Of course, we don't know what they're planning down the road, but the continued success of the western is a pivotal series for AMC because it needs to prove it can move forward without its two critical darlings (MM & BB). The Walking Dead may be healthy enough to continue launching new series in the fall, but AMC would need Hell on Wheels to do the same if they separate the two genre shows.
AMC is still learning the growing pains of being a successful cable network and is dabbling in lower cost reality shows like Kevin Smith's Secret Stash and experiments like The Talking Dead to expand the potential for advertising dollars as each of AMC's original shows can become a 90 minute experience as opposed to 60 minutes. We just might see similar shows like Talking Mad and Talking Bad before too long and if Hell on Wheels continues to grow, Talking Hell. Bravo has a similar success with Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, interacting with live viewers and those on Twitter and Facebook.
Like it or not, Hell on Wheels is a more important series than what AMC would probably be willing to admit, especially when considering the health and future of the network. Keep it in the fall and solidify that pairing with the Dead. Pull it apart to launch other series and the network rolls the dice on how much dead or alive the western remains to be.

Hey there. This is the forum for actually commissioning new maps from folks. I that is indeed what you're looking for, you should read the sticky post for details on how to do that. Otherwise, you might consider searching through the finished maps section for already completed stuff that will fit. Western doesn't seem to be a massively popular setting, but I know settings like Deadlands are pseudo-Western, so you might have some luck.
Also, if you're interested (to do a little blatant self-promotion), I've recently started a line of "Western Maps" on RPGNow for relatively cheap, so you can look there. It might be cheaper than commissioning new ones. You can also look under the map section filtered by genera on there, but there isn't too much western themed stuff up yet (It is a gap I'm trying to fill!)

This pedal does the job of two!
The Dunlop Mister Cry Baby Super Volume/Wah Pedal turns the classic Cry Baby wah into a hot, powered volume pedal in non-wah mode. LED shows you which function is active. The Mister Cry Baby pedal uses the Dunlop ECB-003 power supply.
- Original vintage effects
- Ultraheavy-duty durability
- Smooth operation and easy control
Reviewed by 1 customer
If you want the classic wah sound without additional adjustments that would make more modern sounds you can't get better than this, especially compared to digital pedals that emulate it. This is the real thing. When not pressed, it works like a volume control. Volume reduction does the same to the overall gain, so it it nice for playing a note and then turning the volume up after with your foot instead of the volume knob This gives a nice violin-like phrasing. and of course, it's an awesome wah!

Gamera II Helicopter Breaks World Altitude Record for Human-Powered Aircraft!
Posted By Timon Singh On August 30, 2012 @ 5:08 pm In Green Transportation,Innovation,News | No Comments
Earlier this month we reported that a group of students from the University of Maryland [1] broke the national record for the longest human-powered flight [2] while simultaneously setting the world record for the longest human-powered flight by a woman. Now, the team's Gamera II [1] aircraft has broken another world record – for the highest altitude reached by a human-powered helicopter [3]
The team reported that new freshman pilot Henry Enerson has powered the gigantic four-rotor aircraft to a record eight feet. This is the highest altitude ever achieved by a human-powered helicopter, and it was set during a controlled 25 second flight.
The current record for the longest flight [2] was achieved earlier in the month by biology student Judy Wexler, who stayed aloft for an impressive 49.9 seconds. The Gamera II seats a human pilot in the center of its X-shaped frame. At the end of each 60 foot arm is a 42-foot rotor, which is powered by the pilot via hand and foot pedals to force the craft into the air. As it is made from balsa wood, foam, mylar and carbon fiber, the Gamera II only weighs 210 pounds.
It's great news for the team, which is shattering records all over the place – they're now planning to pilot their craft to win the Sikorsky Prize [4]. The $250,000 award challenges a human-powered craft to reach a 10 foot altitude and maintain it for one whole minute. Since the competition was launched in 1980, no one has won it. However with their recent success, things are looking good for the Maryland team.

Andrew Ward update: 2016 trial set for Phoenix man in boy's death
PHOENIX - A March 2016 trial date has been set for a Phoenix man charged with fatally stabbing his 12-year-old half-brother.
Authorities say 27-year-old Andrew Ward killed Austin Tapia on March 12 and explained his motive by saying, "Honestly, I just felt like killing."
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Ward pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in Tapia's death.
While in a Maricopa County jail, Ward was charged with first-degree murder in the April 2 death of his cellmate.
Investigators say Ward used a golf pencil to stab 33-year-old Douglas Walker in the eyes, beat him and forced a plastic bag and peanut butter sandwich down Walker's throat.
Ward has pleaded not guilty in Walker's death.
No trial date has been set in that case.

Is Coworking ready for "Coworking Radio"?Veröffentlicht am 27. Dezember 2011 von Felix Schürholz in Kategorie: CoWorking Kultur, CoWorking News International, Crowdsourcing, Meinung, Studien und Trends, Videos | Trackback URL | Zur Diskussion
Inspired by Marit Larsen´s song "If a song could get me you" and my long-held conviction that coworking and radio can benefit hugely from another I like to ask whether 2012 will see "Coworking Radio" come alive? A lot of what coworking has been about up to now passes via written texts (emails, websites etc.) – through an interface that is usually a keyboard. I believe spoken texts, live interviews, music, dancing and singing will be very important aspects of our work to come. In an empathic world we need to exchange more than short text messages and emails. Without the "spoken word and music" enthusiasm for new challenges will be very scarce. States of "Flow" as described by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi currently occur very rarely. We need to activate our voices and bodies to be more productive, more energetic. Our society and our planet needs action now. We need to become whole and happy individuals.
Coworking Radio could be a wonderful tool of cooperation between coworking spaces as well as an excellent marketing opportunity for all coworkers and their projects. Listening to "Coworking Radio" while working, walking, driving, travelling, there could be so much information that could pass at the same time. Radio gives us back a linear quality of consumption of information which is so important for the cohesiveness of a group. I think, we would only need something like 80,000€ to provide Coworking Radio with a three year budget. On a plattform like "Kickstarter" we could set up a project to pledge the money. Please comment and get involved. I pledge the first 100€.

After 28 minutes, when the Four Corners crew finished filming that interview in her office, Julia Gillard shook hands with her inquisitor, Andrew Fowler, told him her leg had "gone numb" and wished him good afternoon. That was it.
There was no protest from her about his line of questioning, no reprimand from her staff, no complaint, other than the numbness in her leg.
Six days later when it screened, and as you watched Fowler refusing to let her off the hook, you knew this modern Australian tragedy was drawing inexorably to its finale.
On Saturday night after the angry ant YouTube video was posted, one of Kevin Rudd's backers contacted Sky's David Speers, who was having dinner and offered up a midnight special, an interview with Rudd.
The tale of the two interviews is instructive.
Rudd seized on an apparently unexpected and unwelcome development to sell himself while Gillard managed to use a pre-planned, predictable one to kill herself.
Rudd was disciplined and contrite. His pitch, that he is not perfect, only a better person than he was, drove his enemies into hissy fits rivalling his own, but rang truer than Gillard's protestations of innocence and ignorance.
Sorry, (and I really do mean sorry, Julia) unless Rudd does something incredibly stupid, and he hasn't for a while, it's over.
Gillard is now so vulnerable, her position so fragile, there is almost nothing she can do to stop it, or fix it, or make it better. She has left it too long to save herself.
If she allows it to run, she risks becoming weaker while her enemies grow stronger. If she pulls it on now, even if she wins the first ballot, no margin will be big enough to end it or consolidate her position. Even if she sacked Rudd today, as Simon Crean and others are urging, it will not finish him or protect her. It is too late.
Proof she has run out of options was her stonewalling yesterday. She did not wilt and nor will she. Instead she is hoping if she can only convince people her support in caucus is overwhelming -- so strong she is prepared to live with Rudd's private machinations and public denials of undermining -- it will turn the pressure back on him, forcing him to back off and make it all go away. It won't.
Rudd's psychological warfare, waged hourly, daily about when and how or why he might move against her -- before or after the Queensland election, with one challenge then another, or after she next stumbles -- will not end until he achieves his objective to destroy and replace her.
It is a tragedy for Gillard, and the many people who believed in her, and it is sad when someone with so much promise fails.
However, it was obvious from the outset, and surely she must have known it anyway, given how long she has been around politics, that after being knifed Rudd was not going to disappear and bleed quietly to death.
After the election, weakened as she was, she should have left him to fester on the backbench, rather than bring him back in as Foreign Minister and provide him with a platform. As a much hated figure in the Labor Party, he would have found it difficult, if not impossible, to rebuild from the backbench then. He had nowhere else to go and no inclination to go.
He would not have quit because he would have convinced himself resurrection was possible and not beyond a person of his talents.

(K) Conflict resolution
(20) Authority of school personnel
(b) General
(i) School personnel under this rule may remove a child with a disability who violates a code of student conduct from the child's current placement to an appropriate interim alternative setting, another setting , or suspension for not more that ten consecutive school days (to the extent those alternatives are applied to children without disabilities), and for additional removals of not more than ten consecutive school days in that same school year for separate incidents of misconduct (as long as those removals do not constitute a change of placement under paragraph (K)(26) of this rule.
(ii) After a child with a disability has been removed from the child's current placement for ten school days in the same school year, during any subsequent days of removal the school district must provide services to the extent required under paragraph (K)(20)(d) of this rule.
(c) Additional authority
For disciplinary changes in placement that would exceed ten consecutive school days, if the behavior that gave rise to the violation of the school code is determined not to be a manifestation of the child's disability pursuant to paragraph (K)(20)(e) of this rule, school personnel may apply the relevant disciplinary procedures to children with disabilities in the same manner and for the same duration as the procedures would be applied to children without disabilities, except as provided in paragraph (K)(20)(d) of this rule.
ORC 3313.66 Suspension, expulsion or permanent exclusion – removal from curricular or extracurricular activities.
(A) Except as provided under division (B)(2) of this section, the superintendent of schools of a city, exempted village, or local school district, or the principal of a public school may suspend a child from school for not more than ten school days. The board of education of a city, exempted village, or local school district may adopt a policy granting assistant principals and other administrators the authority to suspend a child from school for a period of time as specified in the policy of the board of education, not to exceed ten school days. If at the time a suspension is imposed there are fewer than ten school days remaining in the school year in which the incident that gives rise to the suspension takes place, the superintendent may apply any remaining part or all of the period of the suspension to the following school year. Except in the case of a child given an in-school suspension, no child shall be suspended unless prior to the suspension such superintendent or principal does both of the following:
The school district follows the standard disciplinary procedures that are applicable to all children:
Give the child's special education and disciplinary records to the person making the decision about the disciplinary action.
The [discipline] requirements do not permit using repeated disciplinary removals of ten school days or less as a means of avoiding the change of placement options (Federal Register, August 14, 2006 pg. 46715).
Services are NOT required to be provided during the first ten cumulative days in a school year unless children without disabilities are provided services.
Short term removals of not more than 10 cumulative school days in a school year may be used for children with disabilities without the provision of services unless children without disabilities are provided services.
In-school suspensions/alternative in-school settings
Removing a child from his or her assigned classroom for inappropriate behavior may constitute a removal. In-school suspensions are not counted if the child:
However, if a child is removed from his or her current setting for part of a school day and is NOT afforded the above benefits, the partial removals count toward the 10 cumulative school days. Any partial day of removal counts as a full day for the purposes of the cumulative ten-day rule.
Transportation as a related service on the IEP
If transportation is included as a related service on the child's IEP and transportation is not being provided due to disciplinary removal(s), the child's IEP is no longer being implemented and the total number of days missed in instruction must be counted in the cumulative 10 days of removal.
If the child is transported to his or her special services or programs by other means (e.g., school reimbursement transportation by parents or relative, or by taxi, van or contracted services paid for by the school), then the day(s) would not count towards the cumulative 10-day total.
Transportation not as a related service on the IEP
If the child is removed from regular transportation, i.e., transportation is NOT listed as a related service on the child's IEP, and services are interrupted because the child is not able to attend school, this may be a denial of a free appropriate public education (FAPE). The district does not count those days toward the 10 cumulative days of removal. The child's IEP team will need to determine if the child is being denied FAPE and if they can take appropriate steps to ensure that the child is provided FAPE.
Districts should consider whether the behavior on the bus is similar to behavior in a classroom that is addressed in an IEP and whether the child's behavior on the bus should be addressed in the IEP or a BIP for the child (Federal Register, August 14, 2006 pg. 46715).

(20) Authority of school personnel
(d) Services
(iv) After a child with a disability has been removed from the child's current placement for ten school days in the same school year, if the current removal is for not more than ten consecutive school days and is not a change of placement, school personnel, in consultation with one of the child's teachers, determine the extent to which services are needed, as provided in rule 3301-51-02 of the Administrative Code, so as to enable the child to continue to participate in the general education curriculum, although in another setting, and to progress toward meeting the goals set out in the child's IEP.
(K) Conflict resolution
(20) Authority of school personnel
(a) Case-by-case determination
School personnel may consider any unique circumstances on a case-by-case basis when determining whether a change in placement consistent with the disciplinary provisions of IDEA, is appropriate for a child with a disability who violates a code of student conduct.
(i) A child with a disability who is removed from the child's current placement pursuant to paragraphs (K)(20)(C) or (K)(20)(g) of this rule must:
School personnel also consider any unique circumstances which could include factors such as:
If it is determined that the short term removal IS a change of placement, refer to Discipline - 8.3 Change of Placement.
If it is determined that the short term removal IS NOT a change of placement, continue reading this section.
Functional behavior assessment (FBA)/behavior intervention plan (BIP)
Short term removals from school may indicate the need for an FBA as well as behavioral intervention services and modifications to address the behavior, so that it does not recur.

The Thomasville Amateur Radio Club held it's annual Field Day Exercise.
The event gave the public an opportunity to see some high-tech equipment.
It also allowed members to conduct emergency communication drills.
Radio Club president Mike Brown says the event is a major undertaking for members.
Explains Brown, "We actually check out how well we can operate from the Emergency Operations Center in Thomasville. We come in, there's no previously set up antennas or radio, everything is set up."
The group helps the Thomas County Fire Rescue and Archbold Memorial Hospital if phone lines and primary radios go out during a disaster.
