So in the beginning stages of the FiFA promotion I won a PSP GO on my first try. After that I went to McDonalds for breakfast every morning.
I won some small stuff like Best Buy points...got those but NEVER received the PSP GO.
After 6 weeks had passed because they tell you to allow up to 6 weeks....I contacted them...they said it was on the way....I have saved all emails....it never came...contacted them again...they said it should be processed in two weeks. Two weeks came and went....never came...
I contacted support at FiFA World cup Mcdolads and the Mcdonalds customer service...support at FiFA Mcdonalds keeps lying to me and the customer service at the main site keeps giving me FiFA's support contact information.
This is pure FRAUD. They are advertising and promoting FIFA prizes to get the customer to shop and patronize their business but dont deliver on the big prizes or well...they haven't delivered to me...I asked them that if they have sent it to send me a tracking number...but they admit not sending it and I am just wondering when I will get it. In this economy they should not be ripping off people or lying to get people through their doors. Shame on them...and if nothing ever happens I am suing and/or going to the media!!!!
I will keep you all updated.

Well....if you've been keeping up...there is sooo much involved here. I won a PSP GO from the FIFA game promotions...never got it until much hassle and lies...many broken promises, complaints to the company and the BBB. Finally got a PSP but not the PSP GO.
...Was gonna let it go but a woman from the marketing department called and said she'd send me the difference with a visa card...said she was sending an email that day with the tracking number - never got it... soooo there was more complaining....
Finally the woman called me and told me she was emailing me a form that I had to sign that said I would be willing to accept the card and let the matter go...WELL OF COURSE...DUH! All I ever wanted was what I had won in the FIRST place. Geez.
So I got the card 2days ago and gave it to my son because the PSP was for him anyway - what am I gonna do with it : )
So people if you're owed something keep fighting. No one should put up with fraud or false promotions or advertising.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

McDonalds why call and still not keep your word...

SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 18, 2010POSTED: Saturday, September 18, 2010
So yeah -This is an update...I had filed a complaint about winning a prize from the Mcdonalds FIFA game promotion and never getting it after waiting well over 8 weeks and longer. I was given the run around and lied to. Finally one day I was given a tracking number which turned out to be the wrong tracking number- so kept calling and emailing various people and departments...finally got the right tracking number and prize.
The prize turned out to be the WRONG one. Was given a PSP instead of a PSP GO - there is about a hundred dollar difference in the price...I was upset because after waiting so long and being given the run around I got the wrong prize. I gave it to my son which was what I was going to do all along but I was really upset and wrote in to to let them know I had gotten the wrong prize...Still I was just going to accept it and move on!
A woman called me I have the number that came up on the caller ID - the number is 630-693-1831 The name on the caller ID said MKTG STORE WRL the call came at 11:25 09/13. This woman said she had gotten my email and that we could do a couple of things to resolve the problem...she apologized for me getting the wrong prize and said that she could send the difference in the form of a pre-paid visa or mastercard. She even asked me if I didn't mind it being Fed-exed. I said okay sure. She said she had my email address and would send me the tracking number- she even said it would be done that day!!!
I never got an email from her or tracking number. Why not just leave well enough alone - if they weren't going to remedy the situation - why call me in the first place. I was just going to let it go. I am upset because clearly they are getting customers in to play the promotional games but when the customers win someone from these departments are dropping the ball big time.
Hope they investigate or have someone who will be truthful call me- this is beyond ridiculous and we have been customers for years...it is a shame that they are not being very good reps for McDonalds.
Again its the principle...ya know...hey if you say you're going to do it...Do it!

So FINALLY after emailing support at FIFA/Mcdonalds and getting the same old thing and being given generated messages I called customer service....and let me inform you that I eventually got a number for FIFA/Mcdonalds but they never answered the phone or returned my messages/ CRAZY- a big corporation like that not having live assistance!
Ok...but like I was starting to say in the beginning. I called customer support on Mcdonalds MAIN site...this is not the customer support for FIFA prizes...but still I was desperate..I mean I just wanted to make good on their word...so yeah I called them and a lady took my info. She told me to call FIFA support number for redeeming prizes. Thats the number you call if it's been like waaaay past 8 weeks and you still haven't gotten your prize.
I told her that I had called, emailed, etc...and no one called back- only got messages lying to me telling me they were gonna mail it out next week and then nothing...and then next week...and again nothing - like I said I was getting nowhere!
So she said she was going to personally send the FIFA support people an email....
And wow!!!! They called the same day - maybe just like 30 minutes later. Anywho the woman seem nice but I didnt like the way she went about it...she had read the complaint in the email sent to her that I hadn't gotten a real tracking number so she callas me and starts reading off the tracking number and it is the same exact number that was emailed to me...the one missing like 3 digits...this woman pauses and waits for me to say..." But thats the same number I got before" then she reads off the next three...it's like she was waiting for me to say "no this cant be it..." Seriously lady- grow up! Just read the whole number...and you guys should have never gotten it wrong anyway - hello- you are a major corporation...please represent your company well. I dont blame Mcdonalds at all- but they need to do some type of re-training for their employees!
Ok so yeah I got the prize on Sept. 9 BUT....yes there is a BUT....it was the wrong prize!!!!!! It was a PSP 3000 - I was suppose to get a PSP GO which is worth more!!!! Now you're prob thinking I should just be happy huh?? No! After waiting well past the 4-6 weeks, past the 8 weeks and past more weeks and being lied to and given the run around I can still say this...I won that prize fair and square! And I should get what the promised!!!!!
I'll just take it - whatever...but this makes me question Mcdonalds and their claims of giving away prizes when they promote game play...who wants the instant win of fries and soft drinks - those are on the dollar menu...if you say Ive won a PSP GO then deliver!!!!!!

After he spoke to me he asked me to listen to a recording with more detailed info. at the start of the recording the man would talk throughout the recording asking me questions which I answered making it difficult to hear all the info the recording was providing in turn I had unknowingly agreed to receive info about govt grants and medical insurance to which I had to pay a processing fee of $49.95 again I was informed by the man that there is upfront no-cost to view the info package I was to receive in the mail.
After receiving a notice from my bank that my account was overdrawn I gathered my account activity info and found that the co. Advantage America had taken out of my account the $49.95.
In no way would I have given my info to this company had I known I had to pay upfront.
When I called the co. Advantage America to cancel the account and any further info/products I was told that I was not able to cancel until I rec'd a 2nd package. And they will not refund the $49.95 back to me saying I agreed in their recording to pay for processing. When the recording was played back to me it was a totally different message than the original recording.
I don't know what to do or where to turn. I'm recently disabled and cannot afford any further finacial loss. HELP ME

But, if you read all the reports here, every single one of them was told that the $49.95 was a processing fee that would be deducted from their bank account immediately, so you heard them wrong if you think they needed your permission. Once you gave them your account info, that is all they needed.
You need to go to your branch and dispute the charge, and close your account. They will bleed you dry.

My client wants to add a "set this page as your home page" feature on her site, but what I've read is that you can add a javascript for it but it works in Internet Explorer only, but can be modified to work in Firefox if you make the user stop and use a code to access Firefox and change a setting. I don't want to add "hoops to jump through".
What I read was three, four, six, and [amazingly "ancient") twelve years old. I have a hard time believing this is that difficult to do.
I've looked for plug-ins, and they don't seem to be obvious.
So I'm wondering, is this impossible to do without "hoops"?

Tremor Causes
The classic rest tremor is from Parkinson's disease.
The classic rest tremor is from Parkinson's disease.
Tremor is an unintentional, rhythmic muscle movement involving to-and-fro movements (oscillations) of one or more parts of the body. It is the most common of all involuntary movements and can affect the hands, arms, head, face, voice, trunk, and legs. Most tremors occur in the hands. In some people, tremor is a symptom of a neurological disorder or appears as a side effect of certain drugs. The most common form of tremor, however, occurs in otherwise largely healthy people. Although tremor is not life-threatening, it can be embarrassing to some people and make it harder to perform daily tasks.
Tremor is generally caused by problems in parts of the brain that control muscles throughout the body or in particular areas, such as the hands. Neurological disorders or conditions that can produce tremor include multiple sclerosis, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases that damage or destroy parts of the brainstem or the cerebellum. Other causes include the use of some drugs (such as amphetamines, corticosteroids, and drugs used for certain psychiatric disorders), alcohol abuse or withdrawal, mercury poisoning, overactive thyroid, or liver failure. Some forms of tremor are inherited and run in families, while others have no known cause.

The Force India driver had secured fifth on the grid on home soil, but now looks set to lose it after the stewards found his car to be below the minimum 642kg weight.
A report by the stewards revealed that di Resta's car weighed 641.5kg at scrutineering, which is 0.5kg below the minimum weight required for the car.
The car was reweighed without fuel on board and weighed just 640kg, 2kg below the minimum weight limit.
A calibration check of the scales used by the FIA showed they weighed 599.5kg when checked with 600kg of weight, which is still 1.5kg below the minimum weight limit.
The matter has been referred to the stewards, who are likely to exclude the car from qualifying for the infringement unless there are exceptional circumstances.
A likely penalty would be relegation to the back of the grid.
Speaking earlier about his performance, di Resta had admitted that he was 'shocked' at the performance.
"The car is obviously working well," said di Resta. "Yesterday we were P4 and I was surprised we were there. So I'm a bit shocked we are still only one position behind that today.
"But ultimately it's in our window. We went a bit backwards with set up before FP3, but the guys put in a tremendous effort to get the car ready for qualifying."

It's always sunny in Jordan: US company to introduce solar energy in Ma'an
First Solar, a global provider of comprehensive photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, said Monday it signed an agreement to provide engineering, procurement and construction services for the Shams Maan Company's projected 52.5 megawatt solar-run power plant in the southern governorate.
The US company said it has also finalised a long-term operations and maintenance contract for the project, which is expected to be operational by early 2016.
First Solar contributed to the development of the project, which secured a 20-year power purchase agreement with the National Electric Power Company, it said in a statement e-mailed to The Jordan Times.
The $150 million power plant — which will be the largest PV facility in the Middle East — is one of the main projects in Jordan's plan to diversify its power generation portfolio.
Part of the Maan Development Area initiative in southern Jordan, some 220km south of Amman, the project will generate an estimated 500 jobs during its construction, which is expected to begin in early 2015, according to the developers.
When completed in 2016, the facility will supply an estimated 160 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, it said.
Jordan, which annually imports about 96 per cent of its energy needs, is embarking on several projects in the field of renewable energy.
Renewable energy projects with total capacity of 1,650 megawatts are expected to be connected to the grid by 2020, according to the Energy Ministry.

Hi all. My LO is 12 months and I have been nursing him up until this point with absolutely no pain, etc. My right nipple started hurtng when he eats, so I noticed a white spot on it. I do not have any lumps under it. Then I noticed one white dot on my left nipple and pain. I read about milk blisters and tried to pop it with a clean sterilized needle and nothing came out and it is still there. Could it be thrush? My LO does not have any white spots and seems fine. He is teething. Thanks for your help!
White spots on nipples?

Sounds like a milk blister to me. I had one that took several weeks to resolve, it just hurt a little at that one little spot. Thrush hurts much more I have heard, and is accompanied by a burning sensation. Kellymom has treatment recommendations for a milk blister.
God is love.

I would also tend to say milk blister but it should have popped. I get a couple of them with ds after he turned 1... I don't know if his latched changed, maybe we both got lazy since we had the hang of it. After I had dd, I noticed a small hard white lump on my areola. It is a little painful when she nurses (from friction) I tried to pop it like I used to with the milk blisters with no luck. At my 6 weel postpardum visit my OB said it is a small cyst. Just to let it go and if it becomes too bothersome they could drain it.
anyone who isn't confused around here doesn't really understand what's going on.

Perhaps this is something for the WordPress community and core developers?
Have a great day!
Perhaps this is something for the WordPress community and core developers?
Have a great day!
The license doesn't look compatible with GPL2.
CreateJS is completely under the MIT license, which can be used inside GPLd software. From Wikipedia:
The license is also GPL-compatible, meaning that the GPL permits combination and redistribution with software that uses the MIT License
The only non-compatible part is the option to use Aloha Editor (AGPLv3). The default Hallo Editor is MIT-licensed.
By the way, I just posted some updates on the progress of CreateJS.
Oh good. :) I was squinting over too-early-morning coffee.
I forgot MIT was the same as the Expat license.
Some examples of CreateJS integration in other PHP systems:
Hi, I'm the author of the Front-end Editor.
A problem I ran into while integrating Aloha:
To start editing an element, I have to retrieve the raw content from the database, which is different from what gets rendered inside the RDFa tags.
Similarly, when saving the editable, I have to retrieve the rendered content through AJAX and inject it back into the page.
Can CreateJS accomodate that?
CreateJS uses Backbone.js views and models to manage data, so fetching content from server and refreshing it to the page is basically a single-liner:
You would hook into the "activate" event of editable entities in Create, and then just call the fetch method on them. CreateJS would do handle the rest.
Ok, that seems relatively straightforward.
Another thing: CreateJS seems to only support contentEditable. In FEE, some elements need to be edited using a simple
<select> tag or by opening a lightbox window. Would I have to create Backbone views for each of these cases?
CreateJS has a widget selection mechanism. By default it uses a contentEditable (Hallo or Aloha) for everything, but you can supply it with a callback that instantiates other widgets as well. Good examples would be selections or date pickers.
There is no example code for this right now, but it should be quite straightforward.
From reading http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/
and Team Gandalfs update: http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/team-gandalf-update-4/
There is something called the "customizer" which will be a part of the next version of WordPress 3.4. To be released sometime in April. (or so the plan is)
"Dominik's time will be limited over the next few weeks due to exams, so if any of this sounds exciting to you, please let me know."
If anyone has the knowledge and would like to help out, check the above links for more information.
Hey Guys
Do you know about http://www.mongopress.org/?
What about adding Create JS or something similar into it?
It seems like a new fresh seedling that was inspired from the WordPress tree.

that will enhance the educational experience. The archive is a part of the John G. Riley House Museum, located
in downtown Tallahassee. TCC's partnership with the museum provides a
collection of primary and secondary sources extremely useful for faculty and
students interested in local African American history.
The open house will begin at 5:30 – 7 p.m. on
the second floor of the TCC Library.
The following week, the TCC Library welcomes
Andrew Skerritt, Florida A&M University professor of journalism, to speak
and sign copies of his book "Ashamed to Die: Silence, Denial, and the AIDS
Epidemic in the South."
Skerritt's event will be on February 27 at 1
– 2:30 p.m. in the "Cultural Corner" on the first floor of the library. An
informal reception and book signing will follow.
For more information about upcoming events at the library, contact Karen
Doster at (850) 201-6194 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fans held a lot one banner saying "against modern football" and another which depicted a sheikh holding a bag with a dollar sign, with a red line drawn across it.
Another banner said "80 euros for the away section is ridiculous" and other supporters displayed banners with offensive messages aimed at Manchester City, Chelsea, Red Bull Salzburg and Red Bull Leipzig.
UEFA said the Dutch club had been fined 10,000 euros (£8,000) for "display of a provocative and inappropriate banner."
City are bankrolled by Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family, while Chelsea are financed by Russia's Roman Abramovich.
Ajax won the old European Cup four times, the last in 1995, but have been unable to compete with the financial clout of newly-rich clubs.
The Dutch side were knocked out in the group stage of this year's Champions League along with City.

Well, they tried charging for 3 months, and they add on another +$70 in penalty fees. Total for $108. When I complained - their response is my credit report will get damage. Even when I offer to pay for 3 months after I canceled, they still want the full additional penalty fees. I could easily pay it, but it is bad business practice. The signup process is so easy, but the cancellation process is so difficult - and then they tack on penalty fees. Then they sent to collections. As a result, my credit report went down 120 points.

At first I thought that this was a great idea (maybe even a bargain), but then when I was quoted a price, I found it was more than the same kind of warranty I had got from Target a few months before.
Now Ive looked into it and figured out what I was offered in-store is nearly 50% more than before! I then looked online and found that GeekSquad offers the same service plans on eBay for a lot less than Target!
I know they gotta pay for the GeekSquad sales guys somehow but this seems crazy. I love Target but they are screwing their customers with this Geeksquad thing and i can't believe that was their intention.
I cant be the only one that experienced this Needless to say I didnt buy the camera!

Should there be a public inquiry into the 7/7 terrorist attacks on London?
Yes/Well said male from Yorkshire/ I am sick of this stupid goverment pandering to ethnic groups/The London bombings just prove how anti-English/UK most Asians and Muslims are/A public enquiry would clearly show them up for what they are which is a very dangerous sect trying to infiltrate Bristish Society.

Well done roggewb for a completely pathetic view.
Yuo say "The London bombings just prove how anti-English/UK most Asians and Muslims are". What evidence do you have of this apart from pure summising? I am an Asian, but not a muslim, and am not anti English. In fact was born here, so am an Englishman myself. I know a huge amount of Asian's, none of who are anti-English. Howmany do you know??

people seem to not like the truth because under this government "english people" are persecuted for saying it and we are still meant to believe that we live in a democracy? In relation to the topic there has to be a public enquiry to prevent further attacks and to stop terrorist filth from taking over.
A Yahoo! User Dec 14, 2005 18:52 Flag
I think that your message was very ignorant. Ofcourse there should be a public enquiry - as the public have a right to know how such groups could have co-ordinated and carried out their attacks despite all the intelligence around. You also fail to appreciate that irresponsible foreign policy only adds to the pain and suffering in the world. This pain will only draw more angry and psychologically disturbed people to causes fueled by revenge and retribution. Why not try thinking before speaking - for a change?
I'm a muslim, I am British, and I do not hate British culture or Americans. I value people irregardless of race or religion. I think you are missing the point - the vast majority of ethnic minorities contribute to the development of the British economy, and much of the investment in the British economy comes from abroad. These investors are linked to Britian partly by the minorites living here - i.e. there is a bond. The UK has no strong industrial infrastructure, commpetitive edge, or an abundance of natural resources. Therefore it relies on foreign investment and the fincial services sector to survive.

50 people died because of our "tolerant, vibrant" society, ie, mass immigration. But some of their kin also put some cash into the Country so it's sort evens itself out I guess.
If you're saying that mass immigration with investment is a trade off between life and death for some poor buggers going to work, you can take your money elsewhere.
Thank goodness, at last, a properly reasoned response to the question.
Correct. I was going to write something similar now there is no need. Well said!
Won't go down well with the PC brigade but most of them are the biggest cause of racial tensions in the UK.

What is a good water based clay for large figurative sculptures?
Jump to content

What is a good water based clay for large figurative sculptures?
Posted 03 September 2013 - 03:23 PM
kind of a loaded question. depends on a few factors. since you mention "water based clay" i'm assuming your experience is with oil based clays? also, what are you considering "large scale"? (like life-size human figure sculpture?) how are you planning to build? (armatures for support? solid or hollow forms?) also, how fast are you building?
students in my studio are typically producing large-scale sculpture (2-6ft tall, up to 1-2" thick). we use a house-made stoneware body that's mostly Lincoln Fire Clay with 5-10% 20m grog content. most sculptures are built in a week's time, always hollow forms with no support structure/armatures. typical firing is to ^04 or ^5/6, usually once-fired over a 3-5 day schedule.
Posted 03 September 2013 - 10:43 PM
Thanks for your response. My experience is mostly oil based clay, yes. I would like to make half life size and life size figures, mostly hollow. It takes a few days to finish a half size figure. For smaller sculptures or sculptures with armatures would the same Lincoln Fire Clay work or do you have other recommendations?
Also where do you teach?
Posted 04 September 2013 - 10:25 AM
Sheffield has S-14: a really nice workable sculpture body (for up to cone 10): also 2 architectectural bodies if it is going to be super thick (reddish for cone 6 and a buff for cone 10) although temp usually not a huge factor in sculpture since they don't usually need to hold water
Posted 04 September 2013 - 01:57 PM
based on what you've said, i think ANY sculpture body would work just fine in your application. you will want something with a decent grog content (fired clay that's ground up) as opposed to something that's smooth, like a throwing body. if you can find an architectural clay body, that would be even better for the large-scale items you want to make. the fire clay we use is the base of our clay body because it's local to us and therefore very cheap - unless you are planning to make your own clay, which i'm assuming you're not, then i would recommend you call up your local ceramics suppliers and discuss with them your project to see what clays they stock. i'm the ceramics lab tech for UCD.

Probably a bit too early to say, but GameStop UK/IE have announced they have an exclusive
MP Character: The Redcoat
One relic, one emblem, one title, and one picture.
Will this be available with the Freedom Edition available on the Ubistore? It's £10 cheaper than on Gamestop.
If I recall, the Animus Edition was only available from Gamestop Exclusively, but the Ubistore stocked ti as well.
Throw us North American players a bone here, Ubisoft. I was screwed out of cool swag for Resistance 3 AND Revelations.
Please, give us something.
I want some good editions for the US, but if we don't get it, meh. What can you expect from a bunch of Frenchies?
I would just like to comment with those other American's above. You are releasing a Game based with American history and yet have not release a collectors edition for us Americans. I figure it would probably be safe to say that a large portion of your sales are from America why would you screw us and yourself out of a collectors edition. I would pay $150 for a collectors edition that came with everything that you are offering in the 3 UK collectors editions. Just doesn't seem like smart business to me!
Why Europe always get the Collector Editions of AC Games and U.S nothing is not fair.Ubisoft think if the U.S dont get the AC Freedom Edition. Gamers will be very disappointed and they not buy your games anymore.(Think)

Funeral homes find dogs comfort mourners
Funeral directors are increasingly turning to dogs to help comfort mourners, the Associated Press reports.
Therapy dogs, they're finding, not only help soothe grieving friends and family members, but they can serve to lighten up the overly somber atmosphere that is the norm in many a funeral home.
When a dog joins a group of mourners, "the atmosphere changes," said Mark Krause, owner and president of Krause Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Milwaukee. "In a funeral home, people are typically on edge, uncomfortable. But everyone lights up, everyone has to greet the dog."
Krause bought Oliver, a Portuguese water dog, in 2001. His wife had Oliver trained to be a therapy dog at schools, nursing homes, hospitals.
"Then my wife said, 'Why can't he do this in the funeral home?' and in the 10-plus years we had him, he probably touched a couple thousand families," Krause said. Oliver seemed to "sense grief and who needed him."
Krause remembers one 7-year-old boy who had lost his 3-year-old sister and had stopped talking, even to his parents.
"The minute the dog came in, the boy started talking to him about his sister," Krause said. "This little boy tells the dog, 'I don't know why everyone's so upset, my sister said she's fine where she is.'"
"I don't suppose Oliver understood, but he looked at the boy as if he did," Krause added.
When Oliver died in 2011 — about 150 people attended his funeral — the Krauses bought another Portuguese water dog, Benny.
While no statistics are kept on dogs in funeral homes, Jessica Koth, spokeswoman for the National Funeral Directors Association, said, "We hear from members that more and more of them are bringing animals into funeral homes … whether it's a certified therapy dog or just an extremely well-behaved family pet."
At the Ballard-Durand funeral home in White Plains, N.Y., Sandy Del Duca was mourning the death of her father when Lulu, a goldendoodle, came down the stairs and greeted her.
"That dog looked into my eyes and I was done," Del Duca said. "She seemed to know just what I needed. A funeral is a funeral, it's not a great thing. But that dog gave the service a family atmosphere and made it more of a celebration."
When mourners come to the funeral home to make arrangements, owner Matthew Fiorillo asks if they'd like to meet Lulu and tells them she's available — at no extra charge — for wakes and funerals. Almost all have accepted.
Funeral directors say dogs can lighten the awkward, tense atmosphere at a wake or funeral service, and sometimes seem to know exactly who needs their help.
Gayle Armes, owner of the Armes-Hunt funeral homes in Fairmount and Marion, Indiana, says his dog Judd, a golden retriever, serves a vital function by giving mourners "something else to focus on."
"The ones who need it, they tend to go over to him, maybe kneel and love on him and he loves on them," Armes said.

Therapy dog booted, based on his biker duds
San Diego's most famous therapy dog has lost his certification — and all because of his biker outfit.
Chopper the Biker Dog was certified by Pet Partners, and over the past five years he has visited thousands of people in hospitals, schools and senior living centers up and down the West Coast.
But suddenly, after all that time, his biker duds have been ruled "innapropriate," ABC 10 News reported.
Pet Partners has informed his owner, Mark Shaffer, that the certification was suspended because it did not approve of Chopper's biker outfit. Chopper wears a leather vest and a bandana and, when he's on his motorcycle, a helmet and some pretty cool goggles.
Shaffer got the news after he and Chopper returned from an 11-day trip to Oregon, stopping at VA hospitals and police departments every day along the trip.
"Disbelief," Shaffer said of the decision. "There was anger and there was a lot of hurt."
In a statement, Pet Partners explained that "the use of costumes and clothing in an animal-assisted therapy environment raises a number of concerns for the animal, the handler and the clients or patients being seen … Pet Partners harbors no ill will towards motorcycle enthusiasts. Holiday costumes, tutus or clothing other than a scarf are also not allowed."
"We wish Mark and Chopper all the best and hope that they will continue to bring smiles to the people they meet. Mark did receive written warning to correct the behavior before the suspension to follow the appropriate protocol. He is free to dress Chopper as he pleases, just not while volunteering at facilities as a therapy animal team."
Shaffer said that — rather than taking Chopper out of his biker outfit — he will seek certification from another therapy dog organization. He's getting a lot of support for his decision on his Facebook page.
"They claim they don't allow dogs in costumes," said Shaffer. "This is not a costume," "This is his persona. This is what he is."

Recognizing a gift when it lands in your lap
Nala isn't an officially certified therapy dog.
Her presence at a Minnesota nursing home, apparently, didn't require her owner to navigate a bureaucracy or fill out mounds of paperwork.
She was never trained to make people feel better. She just, like many a dog, magically does.
The tiny teacup poodle, who comes to work with her owner — medications assistant Doug Dawson — makes the rounds daily at the Lyngblomsten care center, somehow figuring out not just how to ride the elevator to get from room to room, but who at the nursing home might most need a visit from her.
It's another one of those feel-good stories about a dog bringing comfort, hope and smiles to residents of an otherwise impersonal institution.
Let's hope this one doesn't get crushed.
On Wednesday, we told you about Ivy — a Siberian husky whose owner, a janitor at a University of Rhode Island dormitory, brings her to work with him everyday. And how Ivy, through bonding with the students who live there, has made it, in the view of most, a better place to be. And how the university, after the school newspaper ran a feature about the dog, banned Ivy from campus — even though she is certified as a therapy dog — citing things like rules and liability concerns.
Today we bring you Nala, who, fortunately, is spreading her magic at a facility that — rather than fretting about pests, bites and liability — seems to recognize a gift when it sees one.
Dawson brings Nala to work with him each morning, then lets her go her own way.
She spends the day popping into the rooms of residents, hopping in their laps and getting petted and nuzzled before moving on to the next room, according to this report by KARE 11
"She's an angel," 90-year-old resident Ruth New said. "I love her and she loves me."
Nala, Dawson says, seems to have an uncanny knack for knowing who needs a visit, and knowing how to get there, even when it involves riding the four-story building's elevator.
"There's something about her," said Dawson, who inherited Nala after she failed in her debut as a potential therapy dog at another facility.
He says Nala was too young at the time, and had spent too much time in a kennel.
Now 5 years old, Nala has redeemed herself at Lyngblomsten.
"If you put her down she'll pick out the person with Alzheimer's," said Dawson. "She has a way of picking the sick."
After the recent death of one resident, Nala entered her room and stationed herself at her side.
"She had died earlier in the morning, but Nala knew and went and sat with her," said Sandy Glomski, a Lyngblomsten staffer. "It was wonderful and we were all in tears."
Dawson says he's constantly amazed by both Nala's compassion and her ability to navigate the nursing home's floors on her own.
"She's here for a purpose," he said. "She really is doing God's work."
That's kind of what dogs will do when humans — and especially bureaucrats — don't get in the way,

When a feel good story has feel bad results
A heartwarming little story in the University of Rhode Island student newspaper — about a janitor who brings his dog to work — has apparently led to a cold-hearted response by administrators: Ivy must go.
Mike LaPolice, who keeps Peck Hall clean, started bringing Ivy to work with him soon after he adopted her a year and a half ago.
The Siberian husky followed LaPolice, who has worked for the university for 25 years, as he performed his duties at the dormitory, and she quickly became popular among students, who enjoyed petting her and taking her picture.
LaPolice got Ivy certified as a therapy dog — though in reality she was probably bringing students comfort and relieving their stress even before she got her degree.
Then, last Thursday, The Good 5 Cent Cigar, which is the student newspaper, ran a story about the janitor and his dog.
Almost immediately, LaPolice received word from the university's Department of Housing and Residential Life that — if he wanted to keep his job — his dog needed to leave the campus and not come back.
"Nobody will tell me who has a problem with Ivy," LaPolice told the student newspaper in a follow-up piece. "All of the … staff that I've talked to keep referring to some person who doesn't like her being here, but I don't know who that is."
Even before Ivy got banned from campus, LaPolice was aware his dog's presence was a concern among some administrators. That was part of the reason he got her certified as a therapy dog. Dorm residents knew the dog was an issue, too. Last year they presented a petition to school officials, urging she be allowed to stay in the residence hall.
But for the past seven months, the issue seemed to have subsided, and it appeared school officials were willing to overlook Ivy's presence in the dormitory, which, technically, is a violation of school rules.
Somehow, the newspaper story reignited the drive to remove Ivy from campus.
"I'm trying not to regret running this piece, because we never could have anticipated this outcome," the newspaper's editor, Allison Farrelly, said in an interview with CollegeMediaMatters.com. "I feel sick about it though, that we could have played a hand in negatively impacting not just this man's life, but the lives of all the students Ivy touched."
"It still doesn't make sense to me that HRL could have reacted so strongly to our article, but I don't feel defeated yet because I don't think we've done everything we can to right this. I told my staff this, but I think there is a good chance if the student body gets behind our reporting, we can right this."
LaPolice told the student newspaper he might talk to his doctor to figure out if he can be permitted to keep Ivy with him because of a medical need.
"I'll go to a psychiatrist if I have to," he said.
Another petition is being talked about among those students who want to keep Ivy in Peck Hall — many of whom say they've benefited from her presence.
The Department of Housing and Residential Life issued this statement yesterday:
"Staff members of the University's Department of Housing and Residential Life became aware of an employee bringing a dog to Peck Hall late last summer. Since that time, housing staff has met repeatedly with the employee to ask him to leave the dog at home. The University does not permit its employees to bring their pets to work, unless they are service animals.
"While we understand the bond students may have formed with an animal brought into their residence hall, the University must consider the precedent that this sets and the welfare of the entire community, including potential liability in the event of a dog bite and issues around sanitation, pests and allergies.
"There are avenues for addressing employee accommodation requests under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and the employee was referred to Human Resources for that process. To date, Human Resources has not received an official request from the employee for accommodations under the federal law."
There are no reports of Ivy biting anyone, provoking any allergic reactions, or bringing any "pests" into the dorm.
Instead, students say she has brought comfort and cheer.
"In September, a relationship that I was in came to an end and hit me pretty hard with the feels," said one. "Ivy jumped up on the couch and laid down next to me with her head on my chest because she could sense that I was upset."
"On a particularly tough day, Ivy wandered into my office and just put her head on my leg," said another, who serves as a resident assistant at Peck Hall. "How could I possibly stay focused on such negativity in my life with that beautiful, loving dog looking right up at me?"

California mom finds the shelter dog she adopted can help detect her seizures
When Danielle Zuckerman adopted a pit bull named Thor from a California shelter, she was seeking a companion for herself and her son.
She has gotten that, as well an early warning system.
Zuckerman, a former Navy nuclear scientist who has seizures as a result of a spinal cord injury, says it was just days after she brought Thor home that the otherwise quiet dog jumped in her lap and started barking.
"I didn't know what was going on, I thought something was maybe wrong with him, and about 10 to 15 minutes later I had a seizure," she said.
Seven more times over the next two months, Thor did the same thing, and each time Zuckerman was on the brink of a seizure.
Thor, as far as anybody knows, never had any training as a service dog, or seizure detection dog.
The early warnings from Thor allow Zuckerman to take a new medication that cuts the length of her seizure from five minutes to 90 seconds.
And his presence gives her a sense of security she didn't have before.
"I feel so much more comfortable, going out in public and going to do things, because when you're an epileptic, you don't have control over your own body," said Zuckerman, who lives in Nevada County.
Thor was adopted from Sammy's Friends in Grass Valley. Cheryl Wicks, who runs the shelter, told CBS 13 in Sacramento, she was thrilled when she heard about Thor's skills.
"My hair stood up, I got chills, I got teary eyed," she said. "This woman adopts a dog to have a pet and then she gets all this. It can, like, change her life."

Therapy dog can't see the smiles he brings
Born with dwarfism, and without eyes, a golden retriever named Smiley is bringing comfort and joy to hospital patients, school students and nursing home residents in the small town of Stouffville, Canada.
Rescued from a puppy mill when he was one or two years old, Smiley was timid at first, said his owner, Joanne George.
"He was very scared," she recalled. "[The dogs] had never been out of that barn."
But as he came out of his shell, she saw that he had a personality worth sharing:
"People were so drawn to him, so inspired by him." George told CBS News. "I realized this dog has to be a therapy dog — I have to share him."
Smiley joined the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program and, now 12 years old, still spends several hours a day dropping in on patients at retirement homes, visiting with special needs children in a library reading program and comforting patients at nursing homes near Stouffville.
George said when she first brought him home Smiley quickly bonded with another one of her dogs, a deaf Great Dane named Tyler.
"Tyler was so bouncy and crazy and happy go lucky and [Smiley] turned into the same dog," George said. "He came out from underneath the tables where he was always hiding."
"Dogs can come back from anything, they forget their past," George said. "We as humans dwell on the past."
One of Smiley's favorite people to visit is a man named Teddy, who lives in a nursing home and, up until he met the dog, hadn't uttered a sound.
"One day, Smiley put his feet up in front of [Teddy] and he started smiling and making noise," George said. "All of the nurses rushed into the room and said they've never seen him smile — never seen any kind of reaction."
Now every time Smiley visits the nursing home, Teddy is the first person he sees.
After caring for Smiley for 10 years, George says she has learned a lot about how to care for blind dogs: "Don' t be his eyes, don't run his life, don't' keep him in a bubble … Does he bump into things? Of course, he does. But he does it very carefully."
George said Smiley changed her life — and was there for many memorable moments. "He came on my first date with me. He was my ring bearer at my wedding." He has also brightened up the lives of hundreds more.
Even now, as he nears the end of his, she says — his fur getting whiter, his steps slower — his "tail will never stop wagging."

Raising funds to provide therapy dogs for victims of sex trafficking
A non-profit organization has launched a campaign to sell dog collars and leashes to raise money to place therapy dogs in homes and shelters serving sex trafficking victims.
Eye Heart World, an organization that creates products to raise funds and awareness for social causes, is launching a campaign called "Walk the Cause" this week.
The sale of every leash and collar set will go toward purchasing therapy dogs to help victims of human trafficking.
The dogs will be placed in aftercare homes for victims and used in court during the interview process.
"These wonderful pups provide a sense of security, comfort, and something these girls will desperately need in this time of restoration," the organization said in a press release.
It's similar to a project the organization started in January of 2010 — called "Carry the Cause" — which sold handbags. All American made, each handbag bears an orange rose, the color representing human trafficking awareness.
Under the "Walk the Cause" project, $100 from the sale of every leather leash and collar set goes toward placing therapy dogs in homes and facilities to help victims of human trafficking.
The first dogs will likely placed at facilities in Atlanta and Denver, according to Eye Heart World founder Season Russo. The dogs will be purchased from Smeraglia, a dog breeding company, and will be trained by Teddy Bear Goldendoodles.

The Vassar Fund
Every Gift, Every Year Matters
The Vassar Fund supports every aspect of the College – students, faculty, graduates, facilities and more. Gifts to The Vassar Fund provide direct and immediate support in the year they are given.
On June 21, 1871, the first meeting for the newly established Alumnae Association of Vassar College (AAVC) was held. Addressing a key item on their agenda, the group unanimously voted to establish the Alumnae Scholarship Fund of Vassar College by collecting 50 cents in dues from each member. Alumnae recognized early on that the College was in need of financial assistance to fill the gaps not covered by tuition.
In 1970, as Vassar planned for coeducation, the Alumnae Fund was formally renamed the AAVC Fund. Ten years later, the fund was renamed again, to the Annual Fund, reflecting the urgent need for alums to give every year.
Today, it is referred to as The Vassar Fund in honor of what those gifts support – the entirety of the Vassar educational experience.
Contributions to The Vassar Fund amount to roughly 6% of the college's annual operating budget, or $3,791 per student. The impact of these gifts is evident everywhere on campus – from the quality of our faculty, to our infrastructure, and the reach of our financial aid.
A gift to The Vassar Fund opens doors for students and sustains the Vassar experience. Every gift is a resounding vote of confidence in our College. Corporations, foundations, prospective students, parents and the world compare Vassar's alumnae/i participation to that of other colleges. By making a gift to The Vassar Fund, you send a message to the world that Vassar matters to you.
For more information about The Vassar Fund, please contact Robert Rathbun, Assistant Vice President of Development, at (845) 437-5416.

Sen. Robert Byrd -- life and legacy
Monday, June 28, 2010; 12:00 PM
Prof. Christopher Plein will be online at noon ET to take your questions about the life of Sen. Robert Byrd and his impact on the state of West Virginia.
Plein studies West Virginia policy and public administration and is a coauthor of "West Virginia Politics and Government." He serves as the the Assistant Dean for the School of Applied Social Sciences at West Virginia University
Anonymous: I once visited Byrd in his Senate office and in the foothold of his desk was a pile of boxes containing 6x8 cards with names and phone numbers on them. They were the names of local officials in all the counties of West Virginia, and he called them regularly. Lyndon Johnson did the same thing, and I think Byrd picked the idea up from him. I believe this is the reason for Byrd's unbelievable support in West Virginia, even in his old age when it was clear he didn't have full control of his faculties. I contend his personal contacts were more significant than the federal funds and projects he funneled to the state because money is anonymous, but local officials remember when a senator calls them and seeks their advice.
L. Christopher Plein: Senator Byrd clearly identified with West Virginians. While he occupied a national stage, he was very constituent oriented. Indeed, having a feel for the issues and needs of the state is crucial to continued success not only in policymaking but also in the campaign cycle. I don't believe that Senator Byrd was alone in these types of practices to maintain connections. All too often, there is a tendency to believe that Senators and Representatives are remote and removed from their constituencies. In most circumstances, members are responsive and attuned. To be disconnected is to run the risk of losing support. Senator Byrd's capacity to connect to West Virginians was an important part of his legacy and success.
Boone, NC: Senator Byrd was a product of the NW mountains of North Carolina, having been born in Wilkes County....home of moonshine and Junior Johnson
L. Christopher Plein: If you want to know more about Senator Byrd's life, you may want to take a look at his autobiography that was published just a few years ago. It's entitled, "Child of the Appalachian Coalfields." and was published by the West Virginia University Press in 2005.
Montgomery Village, MD: I lived in WVA for a few years in the '70s and I will always remember a quote from Sen. Byrd relating to solving problems before you need to or speculating too far in advance about things that may or may not happen. He said "Don't roll your pants legs up until you get to the creek." Wise counsel.
L. Christopher Plein: This down home quote serves to remind us that Senator Byrd deeply believed in the traditional legislative model, which favors deliberation and discussion before action. As a student of the Constitution, he emphasized the key role that Congress must play in governance. In recent years, he was known for warning policymakers, especially in the Executive branch, about the dangers of rushing to judgement and action.
Anonymous: One person's "pork" is another person's jobs. Is there an estimate as to how many Federal funds Senator Byrd guided to West Virginia? In a state there is relatively financially less off than other states, how importance were these programs to the people and economy of West Virginia?
L. Christopher Plein: There have been a couple questions about pork barrel politics. There is no doubt that Senator Byrd has been associated with this and this is part of his legacy. But the issue is more complext. As is suggested in the question below, what is and what is not pork can be a subject of interpretation. I would like to share two observations, first it is clear that Senator Byrd was instrumental in securing funds for West Virginia that were aimed at capacity building, that is building infrastructure and catalyzing employment opportunities. By this measure, Senator Byrd was accomplishing what is expected of legislators and was very successful. Second, and perhaps more importantly, when some find fault with institutional practices, such as those in Congress, the tendency is to personify the issue by identifying one individual as a case in point. Senator Byrd was often singled out in this regard. The larger issue of how Congress effectively appropriates federal funds is very important and should not be overlooked. These are matters for continued discussion on procedures and practices of the entire institution.
Philadelphia: In Senator Byrd's career, when was he most and least popular in West Virginia? How much has public opinion about him swung among West Virginians and how did Senator Byrd react when his approval was waning?
L. Christopher Plein: I'd like to take this question in a somewhat different, but related direction. In recent months, Senator Byrd took stances that clearly calls for rethinking the environmental impacts of relying on coal as an energy resource. He also was very forceful in his criticism of mine safety practices. His must recent contribution to his legacy may have been to lend his reputation to rethinking current practices in the coal industry and the future of our energy policy.
Rockville, MD : Has anyone been a "junior senator" longer than Jay Rockefeller?
L. Christopher Plein: While I don't know the answer to this question, it is clear that Senator Rockefeller has had a substantial influence on policy direction in the United States. His long term efforts in health reform is of particular note. It may be that the term "junior" senator is a misnomer in many applications.
Poplar Bluff, MO: With the loss Senator Kennedy, the Senate lost two of its most distinguished "lions". Do you believe in our current political climate that anyone will gain the massive senority and power that Senators Byrd and Kennedy amassed? Thank you.
L. Christopher Plein: Senators Kennedy and Byrd certainly represented a different era and time in American politics. It is difficult to determine what the future will hold. As this year's election cycle is illustrating, there seems to be an anti-incumbent sentiment among many. In addition, there are regular calls to reform the legislative system to dampen the influence of seniority on committee assignments and the like. However, it will likely remain that legislators will continue to make important contributions to the direction and character of American politics and policy. This may be less a function of time, then of talent and ability.
I have enjoyed the opportunity to share some perspective with you all and will be signing off now.
