Two years after the Raiders parted ways with a well-known player named Moss, they could be landing a head coach of the same last name, but a far lower profile.
Packers assistant head coach/linebackers Winston Moss, the sole survivor of a recent purge of the defensive staff (other than the quality control guy), will be interviewing for the head-coaching job in Oakland, according to Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Moss played for the Raiders from 1991 through 1994. The 43-year-old has worked as an assistant coach for 10 years. He recently interviewed with the Rams for their head-coaching vacancy.
In Oakland, Moss would be the second person formally interviewed for the vacancy that arose when interim coach Tom Cable's stint ended with an unexpected two-game winning streak. Cable was interviewed earlier this week, and Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride had a 90-minute phone interview that the Raiders later characterized as something that was done as a favor to Gilbride's agent.
By interviewing Moss, the Raiders will be in compliance with the Rooney Rule, which requires at least one minority candidate to be interviewed for each head-coaching vacancy. The Raiders, however, would be one of the last teams to suspect of conducting narrow-minded, non-inclusive job searches. They had an African-American head coach (Art Shell) long before the movement to compel consideration for minority candidates gathered steam, and their Chief Executive (Amy Trask) is one of the only females in any position of significance with any NFL franchise.
Then again, this doesn't mean that the Raiders don't have something up their sleeves. We wouldn't rule out the possibility that the Raiders are interested in making Moss their next defensive coordinator, and that they lined up an interview of him for the head-coaching position because the Packers could have blocked an attempt to interview Moss for any other job.

It's time the "Rooney Rule" was sent packin'.
If that's the only reason Al is interviewing Moss, then it's a waist of both of their time, as well as the resources to get him there.
Favre2012 says: Jan 9, 2009 1:17 PM
I want Al Davis to hire Al Davis.
It would bring this Raiders thing full circle.
SonnyMooks says: Jan 9, 2009 1:19 PM
The Raiders were also the first team to have a Latino head coach in former coach Tom Flores.
Raider Dave says: Jan 9, 2009 1:32 PM
Especially since Al Davis never hires defensive minded coaches, although he is very loyal to those who have ever worn the Silver & Black.

My imitation of Vox:
Moss? When I first saw that I thought Randy Moss.
Hold the applause people I'm here all day.

I'm wondering when someone is going to stand up and demand equal treatment for Asian coaches. I think the Rooney rule is a joke and if you are going to go down the race path then you should have to interview at least one candidate who's genealogy can be traced back to at least one of the 7 continents. Good luck to the candidates from Antarctica!
INVAIDUH says: Jan 9, 2009 1:54 PM
The RAAAIIIIIDUHS…No other sports no other teams.
PeterPan says: Jan 9, 2009 2:03 PM
An undisclosed source indicates that John Herrera will be named as the Raiders next head coach. It will simplify the process whereby Mr. Davis calls the offensive plays and defensive schemes as Herrera's head is already up his ass.
SonnyMooks says: Jan 9, 2009 2:17 PM
The Rooney Rules does apply with asian coaches, in that the Rooney rule requires the interview of a minority candidate (as defined by the NFL).
For example, if a team interviewed Norm Chow for a head coaching job, they would have met the Rooney requirement.
That said, the rule is a joke and a sham.

"My imitation of Vox:

I sure was thinking the same thing when I first read it. I thought the Raiders were so desperate they would bring anyone in a coach. I bet Moss could have a 1,500 yard season and still coach the Raiders to a winning season he's so bad *ss.
mike428 says: Jan 9, 2009 2:46 PM
Maybe the NFL should adopt a "Looney Rule", so that Al Davis can hire himself as head coach/offensive coordinator/defensive coordinator/special teams coach.
Kurt M. Weber says: Jan 9, 2009 2:49 PM
So what exactly does the "quality control" coach DO? I've seen this position with a lot of teams, and never found an answer…
Green is Gold says: Jan 9, 2009 3:12 PM
Winston Moss can not leave the Packers to become a defensive coordinator because of his assistate head coach title. it would be a lateral move, and he'd need the Packers permission.
Now speaking generally, not of the Raiders, the rooney rule is an outdated sham. how is it not exploiting a minority to interview them purely because on the color of their skin, for a job they are not truely being conscidered for. I understand that when the rule was made, it was important, but times have changed, there are many black head coaches, and the door has been permantly opened. How is it fair (hypothetical) that Jim Haslett could not be named head coach from an interm hc because he is white, but Mike Singletary can because he is black? this rule needs to be rethought.
mcrowell says: Jan 9, 2009 3:25 PM
What makes Moss such a high demand guy?? His linebackers have regressed steadily every year. Is it the scheme in which they were playing?? Or is it maybe that he's just naively eager, thusly making it easy for teams to satisfy the Rooney dinosaur…not necessarily my personal thought; just throwing it out there.
Fade 2 Black says: Jan 9, 2009 4:24 PM
Who's Vox..?
He a position coach or something?
Fade 2 Black says: Jan 9, 2009 4:33 PM
I saw In-Vai-Duhhhhh last week walking down the street…
He had on Two Raider Eye Patches, a Cane, and a Seeing-Eye Dog!!! LOL
Legend says: Jan 9, 2009 4:51 PM
Personally, if the Raiders were serious about Moss being HC, what's the qualitative edge he has over Cable, who now has NFL HC experience. We're talking about hiring a B-rate HC – so you might as well continue on with Cable, he's a B-rate as you can get.
rustyknife says: Jan 9, 2009 6:21 PM
Well one things for sure … if Winston Moss does take over as Head Coach in Oakland expect to see a drastic improvement in at least two things: 1. PAD LEVEL and 2. LEVERAGE. Any Green Bay assistant should be quite knowledgeable with getting the most of this from any player! Thanks MM.
Since everyone is saying there needs to be a "middle man" between Al Davis and the Coach and since anyone who wore the "silver and black" already has the "in" I think Al should hire Matt Millen as his new G.M. and Bill Romanoski as the new Head Coach! (since Romo already has his power point presentation ready to roll interview when he said he should be hired as Denver'w new coach). That would have to be successfull right? Committment to excellence? Between the two of them they have about what? 18 Super Bowl rings? I smell Championship!
zod says: Jan 9, 2009 9:56 PM
C'mon Al this is your one and only chance to take this loser off our our hands. Nobody here wants to pay his severance.
oakland211 says: Jan 10, 2009 1:08 AM
First I saw Romo to head coach thinking Tony Romo only to find out it was crazier. Romanowski for the Broncos. Now this Moss thing…. such trickery to makes me read these articles. I am waiting for something really silly now like Farve. Only to find out it's Beavis Farve who coaches Highscool football somewhere in South Dakota.

I joined this site to find my future best friend, lover, husband, and father for my son. And yes, he has to have money. I want to live a comfortable lifestyle and not have to worry about money. Right now I am driving a car with no brakes - emergency brakes only. (an accident waiting to happen). Because I can't afford to fix the car and the car lot wont let me finance another one. I don't have enough income and I have noone to cosign. But I don't feel sorry for myself because I know that there is always something better just around the corner. God takes care of his own.

Wow thanks dogster!
The last few days have been great!
Mum has been taking me out on 3 walks a day since I was allowed out and she has noticed a few times I like to eat!
I chew sticks while I'm out. I also eat dried house manure (ick) But yesterday took the biscuit in mums eyes. She took me in a field that usually has horses but it also had cows in it and I tried eating............
a cow pat! Mum turned round just as I was picking it up and saw me pull the most hilarious face and spit it out. YUCK!!!!!!!
She called me over and got me to sit etc. Then she noticed I had a marbled black and pink mouth! (pink normal colour ~ black from the cow pat). Boy did my gob smell. So she gave me a treat and when I got home she tied me up at the outdoor tap so I could gurgle and get rid of the smell/ blackness and taste.
She took great relish in telling my other members of my family what I had done. I don't mind...its going in my don't eat lists now:)))
Anyway, the tzus are having a hair cut today so we wont be on too much. Hope you guys are good:) hugs and puppy licks XX
.....and I got a toy for being first in class for doing a figure of eight round cones and sit stay and run to mum! All in about 14 seconds...mum was gob smacked!
I come third in musical chairs...my sitting can be slow as I like to get the best position.
I also come third in another test of musical chairs with another person having my lead. Mum loved that I was so well behaved!
But I thought I'd show you guys my certificate:)
I will be going to another training class next month. For some more training and socialisation.
But I thought I would put up a couple of blurred piccies of me with my friends.
The Nova scotia puppy is Oakley.
The black and brown doberman is Storm.
The brown and black alsation is Storm as well.
The brown and white collie is Monty.
The brown ridgeback is Dolce.
Ernie the poodle cross was on holiday.
The labrador was also on holiday and so was the cross breed.
We had an amazing time though and I have now got a bag of treats to eat....all I have to do is make sure that the tzus don't get to them:)
Hugs and puppy licks everyone....I'm going to bed as its nearly 9.30pm...yawn*

Go fast. Slide better. Ride on wet surfaces with incredible grip or cruise smoothly through gravel.
We reinvented the wheel. Literally.
It's a wheel that comes from a cube: the Shark Wheel shape is a perfect cube and a perfect circle and a perfect sine wave!
The Shark Wheel geometry is the intersection of a cube, a sphere, and a three-dimensional sine wave. It is based on the shape of shark jaws and is a pattern found all throughout nature. David M. Patrick discovered the shape while studying natural sciences, and has since been developing the Shark Wheel to be a more efficient wheel with superior performance in many ways. David's passion for skateboarding coupled with his interest of the natural world have led to the discovery of the Shark Wheel.
The Shark Wheel offers a faster ride, more slide control, and better grip through rain and rough terrains. Shark Wheel is dedicated to bringing you a more exhilarating ride with higher performance. We thoroughly enjoy riding these wheels and know that you will love them too. Our wheels are 100% designed and manufactured in California, USA.
Rear view: looks like a snake in motion
Side view: looks like a SQUARE in motion
Ride feel: perfectly smooth
Click on the video below to see how they perform.
The Shark Wheel Advantages:
1. Faster. The design allows for a thin contact patch touching the ground and therefore less rolling resistance, resulting in a quicker ride.
2. More grip and sliding control. The alternating pattern equates to increased control — the width is increased, but the friction is decreased! The sine wave design provides three lips per wheel for superior lateral grip. A traditional wheel only has one. When you want to slide, they break away smoothly and recover easily.
3. More traction on varying terrain. The sine wave pattern smoothly funnels any debris aside, instead of 'steamrolling' over it like traditional wheels, allowing for firm contact with the ground.
4. Perfect rain and gravel wheels. The alternating pattern of grooves significantly reduces hydroplaning by channeling liquid, sand or gravel out and away from the surface of the wheel, allowing for a firm contact patch with the ground. Also, the rounded outer edges allow soft terrain to pass around the outside of the wheel smoothly, providing more aerodynamic functionality through soft terrain.

Banking: The Subprime Crisis
You are here: Home : Archives : Buyer's Guides and Special Reports : Banking: The Subprime Crisis
Until recently, the health of banks hasn't been a pressing issue for finance executives. After all, it's been almost two decades since the last swell of commercial bank failures and seven years since the credit cycle took a big dip. But thanks to the subprime crisis, banks are back on CFOs' radar. The discovery of modern banking's soft underbelly has created unease, and the ripple effects are hitting corporations from many directions.
In this special report, we examine whether giants such as Merrill Lynch and Citigroup are really changing their risk structures or simply throwing new C-suite executives at the problem (see "Missing Pieces"). In "Pedaling As Fast As They Can," we explore how companies are sweating to find capital for new investment — and paying more for it.
The clots in the arteries of financial markets are bad news for companies that grant trade credit to their customers. In "No Uncertain Terms," we examine how to handle nonpayment risk in this environment.
Companies could be paying for the mistakes of banks for years. But in times of crisis, much can be learned. The credit crunch of 2007 will make CFOs more inquisitive of their financial institutions' business practices and balance sheets. That may do more to strengthen the foundations of banking than the previous 20 years of prosperity.

Title reference[edit]
The title refers in part to Ziggy's pet duck. It also refers to Frank's realization that the docks are under surveillance and to the coverup measures he has to take. This could also be seen as a warning call to surrounding characters or the audience of McNulty's actions after his failed reconciliation with his ex-wife.
|How come they don't fly away?
|— Ziggy
Ziggy asks why the ducks don't leave their cages when they are free to do so, the reason being that their wings are clipped. This serves as a metaphor for many of the groups in The Wire, and the individuals that find themselves in some way caged—the stevedores, the illegal immigrants, D'Angelo, the police, the corner boys.
Non-fiction elements[edit]
Ziggy references Stephen L. Miles, a Baltimore lawyer remembered by locals due to the local-run late night commercial advertising his firm.[1]
Starring cast[edit]
Although credited, Idris Elba, Frankie Faison, Wood Harris and Andre Royo do not appear in this episode. This is notable for being the first episode where Idris Elba does not appear.
Guest stars[edit]
Uncredited appearances[edit]
Jimmy McNulty deals with the disappointment of his failed reconciliation with his wife by returning to his old drinking habits. He gets drunk and tries to drive home from the bar. When he crashes into a bridge abutment while turning a corner he refuses to believe he misjudged the turn, reverses back and hits it again, cutting his hand. He then gets some food at a diner and ends up having a one-night stand with the waitress. He wakes up the next morning hung over, with the cut in his hand having bled onto the bed.
He spends another evening drinking with Bunk Moreland at the train yard. He asks about the detail and admits wanting to work with them again. He can't express his feelings but seems to want to say without a case to work or his family he is worthless.
By the end of the episode, McNulty finds his way on the case he has worked on as part of his personal moral crusade since the beginning of the season.
Sobotka detail[edit]
The detail meets with Assistant State's Attorney Rhonda Pearlman and they give her a report on their case to date. Their investigation of phone logs from George "Double G" Glekas's warehouse links to "White" Mike McArdle, Petey Dixon and Proposition Joe. Kima Greggs's photos confirm the link. They have identified Sergei "Serge" Malatov and tracked his cell phone through his truck rental paperwork. His phone records show that he calls the warehouse every day that a container goes missing.
Lieutenant Cedric Daniels introduces Thomas "Herc" Hauk and Ellis Carver's linking of Nick Sobotka to the drug dealer Frog, which they have falsely reported as being obtained from an informant. Pearlman admits there is probable cause for wiretaps on Sergei's cell phone and the warehouse phone and checks their efforts to prove exhaustion. Pearlman checks over their paper work and takes it to the duty judge. The judge signs off on the request but has Herc and Carver move and install an air conditioner and wash his windows in exchange.
Lester Freamon and Bunk appeal to Daniels to help McNulty by going back to Colonel William Rawls. Rawls again tells Daniels no on McNulty's transfer. Daniels then brings up his agreement to take on investigating the murders and Rawls capitulates based on the hope that Daniels can clear his homicides. Daniels calls McNulty to let him know he is back.
In a scheme to recover the $1,250 Carver lost on the destroyed wireless mic, Herc gets his cousin Bernard to pose for photos as their fake informant, Fuzzy Dunlop (the fake name is based on what Herc and Carver named the tennis ball that held the hidden microphone since the ball is made by Dunlop and is fuzzy). Bernard insists on 10% of the CI payments. Carver hands the paperwork to Daniels who balks at the name and high price of $150 but signs it anyway. Herc and Carver grin over the success of the scheme.
Pearlman meets with Greggs and Bunk to discuss how to proceed with the investigation of the vice aspect of the smuggling. They tell her that they have found that the same company owns the warehouse and the apartments. They speculate that the apartments are being used as a cat house. They decide they need someone to go undercover to infiltrate the apartment as a john. No one seems like a good fit for the job, until McNulty shows up for duty for the first time and—much to the amusement of the rest of the detail—becomes the obvious choice.
Greggs and McNulty set up surveillance of the parking garage at the apartment building. They pull over one of the johns and get him to explain how to contact the madam. They also note the girls are being driven in via panel truck.
Beadie Russell, Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski and Freamon notice another potential container theft from the docks - a Transco lines ship with Thomas "Horseface" Pakusa working as checker. This time the surveillance work runs in combination with the wiretaps and the detail tracks the container to the warehouse. When Frank Sobotka sends out a second container (a clean decoy), McNulty rushes to tail it. Beadie Russell arranges to slow down the rig with a fictitious traffic stop, until McNulty can get into position.
Dock business[edit]
The stevedores continue to mock Ziggy Sobotka, egging him on to retaliate against Maui's taunting. When he eventually does, the sucker punch is pathetic—Maui easily bests him, pins him down and has a forklift bring them to the top of a two-story container. Maui throws him on the top and warns the laughing stevedores not to rescue Ziggy from his predicament. Ziggy curses the other stevedores, yelling "You gave me bad advice!"
When Horseface reports the fight to Frank Sobotka, Sobotka is more worried about their month-end finances than his son's latest screw-up. He goes to pay his 90-day overdue cellphone bill but learns that his account is "flagged" to not be cut off—a possible clue that law enforcement is monitoring their activity. Horseface dismisses this as paranoia. Later, Sobotka spots Greggs on the docks when she is posing as an engineer to watch the smuggling operation. His suspicions are raised enough to ask after Beatrice Russell and he learns she lied when she told him she was transferring to Fairfield—the other port authority officers tell him she is detailed to the Baltimore City police. He decides to send out a clean container to test the waters. Sobotka notices the container being stopped and goes to call the Greek but realizes his cell phone is unsafe. He uses the untapped office phone to set up a meeting with The Greek.
Frank meets with his brother Louis and offers him a position with the port advisory board—a position that was clearly made available to Louis after Frank made a generous contribution. Louis refuses the offer saying it's not for him. He insists that everything he has comes straight. Frank tries to claim the only difference between them is that he chose the right union but Louis disagrees. Frank is infuriated that Louis has a sense of moral superiority over his choices.
Ziggy buys a duck from a neighborhood man who keeps birds. He meets with his cousin Nick and admires his new pickup truck. Nick asks him about his fight with Maui and can't hide his amusement. Ziggy takes the duck to Delores's bar, entertaining the other stevedores with duck jokes, and the bird's propensity to drink whiskey and beer on top of the bar.
At the warehouse George "Double G" Glekas and Sergei unload the clean container and angrily phone Spiros "Vondas" Vondopoulos at the cafe. The police trace the call and recognize it as the same number that Frank dialed. Vondas instructs Sergei to dump the container and McNulty follows it far enough to make sure, but is then recalled by Daniels.
Frank drinks with Nick and discusses their problems with the investigation. He asks Nick to accompany him to the meeting. The Greek is impressed by Frank's caution, suggesting they only move clean containers for a while. Nick and Frank insist that they must still be paid in full for moving the containers and The Greek agrees to their terms because he expects them to continue to do good business in the future. After Frank slammed the table furiously demanding to still get paid in full, The Greek mocks him by saying he should spend some money on things that will make him happy, such as a new coat or a new car, which is a clear reference to the irresponsible purchases made by Frank's son, Ziggy.
After the switch[edit]
The police dismiss the non-contraband container as a mistake, but Freamon is nevertheless pleased to have obtained the number of Vondas's phone. McNulty and Beadie go for a drink and discuss their past relationships. McNulty drives her because her car is in need of repair. While at the bar McNulty calls the number for the madam and sets up an appointment. McNulty has another drink at Beadie's home but leaves quickly when he sees pictures of her children, realizing nothing good could come out of a sexual encounter with Beadie.
Barksdale organization[edit]
Bodie Broadus and Poot Carr walk through their territory bemoaning the lack of trade because of their weak product. Puddin has a similar story from the towers. Later they notice an independent crew dealing on their territory with far more success than they have been getting.
Bodie and Poot organize a crew to strike back against the dealers on their territory. They make an early start and beat them to their corner. When the other crew arrive they successfully drive them away but expect retaliation.[2][3][4]

During pregnancy, various medical tests help identify any potential problems that might put mom or baby at risk for complications. "A high-risk pregnancy is one in which there is a higher chance of poorer outcome than in a normal or routine pregnancy,' says Claire Serrato, M.D., Mills-Peninsula obstetrician and gynecologist who works at the Family Birth Center.
"Twin pregnancy is one example, because with two babies you have more risk of a premature birth or growth imbalances between babies," she says. Identifying potential problems allows doctors to more carefully monitor pregnancies, and in some cases, treat certain conditions to improve the health outcomes of mother and baby. Dr. Serrato points to some advances in prenatal testing and interesting new ways that certain problems can be treated in the womb in this video segment from Healthpoint TV.
Are You Prepared to Help in a Medical Emergency?
What's the first thing Mills-Peninsula emergency physicians recommend in the case of a medical emergency?
"Stay calm," says Dan Guenin, M.D. "Prepare yourself to handle minor cuts, burns and injuries by taking a first aid course. Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of common medical emergencies such as a heart attack or stroke."
Dr. Guenin and Karin Molander, M.D., vice chair of emergency medicine at Mills-Peninsula, discuss when to come to the emergency room, when to call 911 and the basic components of a first aid kit in this video segment of Healthpoint TV.
Tour the New Family Birth Center
Now you can tour the Family Birth Center at the new Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame without leaving home.
Deborah Quinn-Chen, M.D., Mills-Peninsula gynecologist and obstetrician, takes you on a video tour of a patient room in this segment from Healthpoint TV. Or you can explore the center on your own through our virtual tour, which you can find on our website.
Some highlights of the Mills-Peninsula Family Birth Center:

Tips for Boosting Nutrition During Cancer Treatment
"Food is a big part of people's lives — family time, culture and holidays," says Debbie Kurzrock, R.D., a Mills-Peninsula registered dietitian who works in Radiation Oncology at the Dorothy E. Schneider Cancer Center in San Mateo.
"So it's really upsetting when a person is diagnosed with cancer and suddenly they can't eat the way they did before," she says.
Often cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, negatively affect people's sense of taste. Other side effects can include fatigue, nausea, difficulty swallowing or diarrhea.
"I meet with people who are going through cancer treatment and I make suggestions to help bolster nutrition or cope with loss of appetite," Kurzrock says.
"When people are in cancer treatment, they are destroying their cells," she explains. "So it's very important they get the right nutrients to rebuild them."

Managing Pain During Labor
What do mothers-to-be want to know about labor and delivery? According to Andrew Jurow, M.D., Mills-Peninsula gynecologist and obstetrician who delivers babies at the Family Birth Center, one of the most common questions his pregnant patients have is, "Will it hurt?"
"Everyone has a different expectation of the birthing process," he says, "and we want to accommodate that." Some women want a medication-free delivery, while many benefit from some pain management, which can allow them to relax between contractions, he says.
Dr. Jurow discusses what women can expect in labor and the latest pain management methods in this video segment from Healthpoint TV.

Difficulties about the 'BREAD'! (2 of 8) by Dennis Marquardt
This content is part of a series.Difficulties about the 'BREAD'! (2 of 8)
Series: Difficulties on the Journey
Dennis Marquardt
Numbers 11:4-35
INTRO: It is a real revelation of the soul that the most discontented people are those who have the most! As a general rule, those with the most time on their hands are least likely to be available to help; those who are the busiest are the ones who get involved to help others. There is more dissatisfaction in wealthy nations than there is in 3rd world countries. Those most bored are those with the most options in life!
It seems to be a condition of the human soul that we cannot find happiness in what we have as long as we can see something we don't have!
There seems to be more joy and peace in struggling Churches in poor countries than there is in rich affluent societies. In societies where the individual is emphasized the people want their OWN needs met rather than having God's will met. There is a tendency to look for something new and different all the time and not be happy with what God has already provided.
One famous preacher in American history recorded it this way:
ILLUS: ONE DAY HENRY WARD BEECHER WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING A HORSE. SEEING A NICE LOOKING ONE HE ASKED THE OWNER ABOUT IT. THE OWNER STATED, "THIS HORSE IS SOUND, HE IS ABLE TO GO ANY GAIT; WALK, TROT, PACE, OR GALLOP. HE WILL WORK ANY PLACE YOU PUT HIM, AND HE WILL NEITHER BITE NOR KICK. HE WILL STAND WITHOUT HITCHING, IS GENTLE, BUT FULL OF SPIRIT. HE GOES WITH ONLY A NUDGE, IN ANY DIRECTION YOU INDICATE OR LEAD, AND HE STOPS WHENEVER YOU WANT." TO THIS THE PREACHER RESPONDED, "AH, IF ONLY THAT HORSE WERE A MEMBER OF MY CHURCH!" -- Source Unknown
There is a grave danger to our soul when we can't be satisfied with what God has given us and we feel we must have something better than the basic blessings He has made available to us and His Church!
PROP. SENT: The Bible teaches us that the most dangerous condition of the heart is the one that becomes di ...

Just play around and see what works for you. I like to put my leave-in conditioner into wet hair, but then I'll wait a bit and/or scrunch with paper towels before putting in my mousse/gel/cream/whatever. Makes it dry a bit faster and I still get great frizz control.
Also, I still use a regular towel. I even wrap my hair up turby-style after a shower, but only for about 3-5 minutes. I certainly don't rub my hair with it, though. I just squeeze out the water, wrap the towel around, then carefully unwrap to start applying products. My hair just looks too flat if I put everything into soaking wet hair.
I'm a 3b, with 3c underneath.
Used to be CG, now I'm not. Using Suave Aloe & Waterlily shampoo & condish, JoiWhip, BRHG, Suave Aloe gel, Aussie Tizz No Frizz, and anything else that looks good!

A New Definition of Chutzpah
posted at 5:57 am on August 16, 2009 by Jim Treacher
You've probably heard the definition of chutzpah: A boy who's convicted of murdering his parents and begs the judge for leniency on the grounds that he's an orphan. Now we've got an example that's almost as… well, audacious.
A few months ago, President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama said this about his grandmother:
President Barack Obama said his grandmother's hip-replacement surgery during the final weeks of her life made him wonder whether expensive procedures for the terminally ill reflect a "sustainable model" for health care.
The president's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, had a hip replaced after she was diagnosed with cancer, Obama said in an interview with the New York Times magazine that was published today. Dunham, who lived in Honolulu, died at the age of 86 on Nov. 2, 2008, two days before her grandson's election victory.
"I don't know how much that hip replacement cost," Obama said in the interview. "I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement just because she's my grandmother."
Obama said "you just get into some very difficult moral issues" when considering whether "to give my grandmother, or everybody else's aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they're terminally ill."
Which is why he now wants the government to take more of a hand in those decisions. Which is why, apparently, we should listen to him.
Then yesterday, during his "townhall" meeting in Colorado, Obama said this:
"I just lost my grandmother last year. I know what it's like to watch somebody you love, who's aging, deteriorate and have to struggle with that," an impassioned Obama told a crowd as he spoke of Madelyn Payne Dunham. He took issue with "the notion that somehow I ran for public office or members of Congress are in this so they can go around pulling the plug on grandma."
And thus, we have a new definition of chutzpah: A President of the United States who complains about the expense of alleviating his dying grandmother's suffering, and who then uses her death as evidence of his compassion.
You may not have run for office specifically to pull the plug on grandma, Mr. President, but you're obviously not going to let her get in your way.
P.S. Speaking of hip replacements, Biden's a pretty swingin' guy.

Poll: Americans Say No To War As Obama, Congress Push For Striking Syria
As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote for a war authorization that would allow for three months of a U.S. bombing campaign against Syria, new poll numbers show that the American public simply doesn't want to wage war against Syria.
The continued opposition to war by the public continues even as the Obama administration, a growing swath of Congress, and a pliant media shroud military action against the Middle East country in a veil of inevitability.
According to the latest figures from anABC/Washington Post poll, "nearly six in 10 oppose missile strikes" against Syria despite the claims by the Obama administration that Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad recently used chemical weapons against its own people.
As U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday, however, any military action by the U.S. without approval of the Security Council or a sound argument for self-defense, would be consider "illegal" under international law.
"As I have repeatedly said, the Security Council has primary responsibility for international peace and security," Ban said at a news conference. "The use of force is lawful only when in exercise of self-defense in accordance with article 51 of the United Nations Charter and or when the Security Council approves such action."
In the U.S, the numbers show shared opposition across the political spectrum, with Democrats and Republicans opposed in almost equal measure and those who consider themselves independents voicing opposition at even higher levels.
According to the Post, "The public expresses even wider opposition to arming Syrian rebels, which President Obama authorized in June. Fully seven in 10 oppose arming rebels, including large majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents."
Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry said that more actively supporting the Free Syria Army, including arming the rebel factions, would be a key part of the administration strategy alongside a bombing campaign in the country.
On the disparity between Congressional willingness to back Obama's plans for war and the opposition among the electorate, The Nation's John Nichols writes:
The president has done a pretty good job of selling his plan to congressional leaders.
He has not, however, sold it to the American people.
Thus, when members of Congress decide which side they're on in the Syrian intervention votes that are expected to take place next week, they will have to consider whether they want to respond to pro-war pressure from inside-the-Beltway – as so many did when they authorized action against Iraq – or to the anti-war sentiments of their constituents.
Reflecting on the proposed intervention, Congressman Alan Grayson, D-Florida, allowed as how: "Nobody wants this except the military-industrial complex."

Antioch Unified School District Advocacy work in Antioch resulted in seperate salary scale for teachers that is 20% above teacher salary. Gains were also made in stipends for Medi-Cal billing, use of SLP-As, stipends for supervising SLP-As and caseload language in the context of using SLP-As. Reference: Antioch Unified School District, contact: Judi Jewett at email@example.com.
The state of Illinois now mandates that each district adopt a workload plan for all special educators. View the Overview of Special Educator Work Load Plan Requirements [PDF] dated August 31, 2009. For more information on the Illinois workload plan see this presentation Workload Plans for Special Educators: Navigating the Process Effectively [PDF].
Consolidated High School District 230, Orland Park Applications of various workload models are implemented such as writing minutes per month on IEPs, designating set times for eligibility meetings, annual reviews or parent meetings, identify "flex" time in the schedule that can be used for observations, report writing, etc. Individualizing the workload model by creating customized logs using the "mail merge" function in computer software has also been useful for SLPs to manage tasks. Contact: Sharon Foster, email@example.com.
Brown County School Corporation, Nashville
Contact: Debbie Harman, email@example.com.
Lawrence Public Schools I used the ideas from ASHA's documents on workload to develop a data collection system and format that worked for me. Prepared proposal and information to advocate for adding an SLP position. The result was an increase of 1.3 FTE. Contact: Anne Fowler, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Harvey County Special Education Cooperative Working as a pilot district in Kansas under the Schools Focused Initiative using the workload analysis approach. Presented workload information to superintendent and gained 1 FTE SLP position in district. Contact: Mary Beasley at email@example.com.
Kansas State Speech-Language-Hearing Association (KSHA) Working revising state wide SLP processes and procedures documents to include workload analysis approach; piloting workload model in Harvey County Special Education Cooperative (see Kansas district information above); providing training on workload model and process to SLPs throughout the state. Contact: Dixie Heinrich, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Terrebonne Parish School System, Louma Terrebonne Parish School District in Louisiana has a ten year history of using workload analysis to assign caseloads for SLPs. In the workload analysis, all duties assigned to each SLP are assigned a value based on the estimated average number of hours per week that is needed to complete the duties assigned. The SLPs report workload helps them to increase their involvement in RTI activities. Due to this involvement in RTI, the SLPs have a reduced number of students on IEPs, but have increased duties to general education (Tier 1) and at risk students (Tier 2). These duties are difficult to "count" in a caseload approach, but have been easily documented on the workload analysis in place. Even though the "caseload" (i.e., number of students with IEPs) has decreased they have maintained staffing level of SLPs to maintain and expand their engagement with RTI. Contact: Stephen Mire, 985-851-1550, email@example.com.
Maine School Administrative District #58 Strategies for identifying and managing workload overload are addressed in this district. In order to achieve balance, service delivery models are examined. Flexible and varied service delivery increases successful workload management. Scheduling options may also impact workload. IEPs are written to be more flexible and dynamic. Changes in the frequency, duration and location of services can be written into the IEP and implemented accordingly as various benchmarks are achieved. Developing IEPs in this manner help to foster LRE and ease the workload burden of the SLP by preventing the need for repeated IEP meetings. Contact: Sabrina Jellison, email@example.com.
Pittsfield Public Schools Created a software program with her husband that reflects a workload analysis service delivery/attendance form. Used the software program to collect data on her workload demands. Worked to get minutes per therapy session changed to contacts on the IEP. Students' IEPs include indirect services provided by the related services unit during the contact. Contact: Mary Hynes-Drumm, 413-499-1760, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Minneapolis Worked with district administration and teachers union to put "workload language" in teachers contract. Worked with special education administration to have SLPs relieved from "non special education duties," to free up time for third-party billing, and to use contract preparation periods for preparing lessons, instead of billing or due process tasks. Worked with district SLPs, special education administration, and district compliance/legal department on "new" way to write speech-language IEPs that build in time for indirect and compliance activities, along with direct service. Will train district SLPs on this, and other workload strategies at start-of-year meeting in fall 2004.
Special Education Teacher Caseload Recommendation: It is recommended that staffing caseloads take into consideration the need to engage in the broad range of professional activities necessary to:
Workloads for specific special education programs are delineated in Minnesota Rule part 3525. The following recommended caseloads area goal to strive for while taking into consideration program, site, and individual student needs that determine the workload of special education teachers. The District will work towards reducing caseloads for special education staff.
Teachers With Caseloads: Teachers with caseloads who are assigned city-wide (adapted physical education, speech and language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, audiology, nursing, psychology, may have their caseload adjusted with consultation during the school year, depending on IEP requirements and city-wide distribution of students. The following special education departments will internally post vacancies for its staff to indicate interest through a polling process: Speech-Language, Occupational and Physical Therapy, School Psychology, Nursing, and Audiology. In each department, partial positions will be bundled as needed. Lead staff in these departments will make placements following seniority while taking into consideration polled preferences, individual expertise, and other factors that support a positive match between the site and the teacher. Contact: Frank Cirrin, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Guilford County Schools Looked at number and size of the school and number of students to be served, reexamined after 20 day count. Took into consideration the number of special cases/classes at each school (e.g., separate classes with AU or cross-categorical, HI or LD classes which require intensive speech-language services, AAC students). Contact: Sue Bennett Kellum, 336-370-2318, email@example.com.
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Conducted a workload survey with the help of a graduate student at University of North Carolina-Greensboro. Awaiting the results. Contact: Barbara Gerhard, MS, CCC-SLP, Lead Speech-Language Pathologist, firstname.lastname@example.com.
North Central Ohio Special Education Resource Center, Mansfield Collected data across the state to support the need for reduced caseloads. The numbers will be used to advocate for lower caseloads with the state legislature. The data also includes documentation from districts that have gone to the expense of hiring additional staff to reduce caseloads to determine whether service delivery and staff retention improved. This data is also available to school-based SLPs in Ohio for advocacy efforts in their local school districts. Contact: Teresa Farnham, 800-424-7372, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Portland Public Schools
When SLPs in the Portland (OR) Public Schools embarked on a mission in 2001 to reshape their service delivery model, they hoped to create a better working environment, increase consultative time with teachers and parents, and ultimately enhance services to students. They now have a service delivery model that meets all those goals and more, thus making Portland Public Schools a very attractive place to work. Before implementing the model district wide, they began by piloting a "3:1 model" for service delivery. With the model, three weeks out of each month are designated for direct intervention with students, and one week is set aside for indirect services, such as meeting with teachers, parents, and other specialists; observing and training in classrooms, developing treatment materials; and completing paperwork. "With this service delivery model, we sought to do a better job reaching out to other specialists, parents, and general education staff to align with No Child Left Behind," says SLP Sharon Soliday, (SLP technical assistant for Portland Public Schools). "We also wanted to meet the new demands of the reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [IDEA] for us to align with curriculum. In the past, we never had time to meet with teachers, know what's coming up in a curriculum, or be able to consult with teachers about students' needs in the classroom. The workload model implementation resulted in:
While data collection during the pilot did not track student results over time, anecdotal data indicate strong student benefits. "Our increased consultation with general education can only lead to improved, seamless services. The next logical step in data collection would be assessing student progress and teacher/parent satisfaction over time," Soliday reports. SLPs now spend time in classrooms supporting teachers and students directly. Many clinicians have become significantly involved in building literacy and reading programs, and introducing new curriculum ideas to teachers. This model has also been en effective recruitment incentive as the district competes to attract SLPs when competition is high. We're never at a loss for SLPs interested in working for Portland Public Schools," she adds. Contact: Sharon Soliday, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Houston Texas has combined the Workload Approach Strategies and the Texas Eligibility Guidelines to make huge inroads into getting services to students and cutting back on "uncovered" caseloads (those not receiving services). Four years ago Houston had 38 vacancies and about 50 uncovered campuses. Today only seven vacancies exist and retention is significantly higher. They have implemented workload strategies, using the 3:1 model, specialized assignments (some regions have one group of SLPs that does therapy and IEP implementation and another group of SLPs to do testing and eligibility recommendations) and other strategies. One of the benefits of the Houston implementation model is that each region of the county is custom designing workload strategies that best fit their needs. Marion Polk (SLP Coordinator, Houston School District) reports that there were no increased costs resulting from implementation of the workload model alone. In fact, ensuring that all campuses had SLP services reduced litigation, as well as costs due to private contracts used in the interim to provide services, actually resulted in a cost savings benefit. The quality of services has improved, collaboration among all service providers has increased and the SLPs are doing a better job at identifying students who truly do benefit from services. They are also more effective in identifying students who can be moved off the direct service schedule and working with other staff to contribute to maintaining and enhancing communication skill development. Marion reports, "I wouldn't ever want to go back to a typical caseload model. This is so much better for students, other service providers and our SLPs." Contact: Marian Polk, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tacoma School District The following programs and systems have been put into place to improve caseload and workload conditions in the Tacoma School District:
Contact: Gail Rothwell, email@example.com.
University of Washington, Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences Graduate students are prepared for the working world by challenging them to design and implement various models of service delivery and assessment. Practicum placements introduce concepts of workload and alternative models. Students are also encouraged to become organized at the start of their training program in order to track clock hours and monitor their progression toward the target minimum of 400 clock hours. By requiring graduate clinicians to account for their workload, including each of the components of their day to day clinical responsibilities, they establish a workload mindset for future employment success. Contact Nancy Alarcon, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fall Creek Shared the workload analysis with the Fall Creek School District Administration and School Board. The Fall Creek School Board increased the total SLP FTE for the school district. The workload responsibilities were shifted so that all of the SLPs had reasonable workloads. Contact: Gayle Holte, 715-720-2157, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Marion Conducted a time audit in minutes-per-week to analyze workload responsibilities. The District Administrator added another 20% FTE SLP position to the school budget. Contact: Marycarolyn Jagodzinski, 920-855-2114, ext. 418, email@example.com.
Middleton/Cross Plains Created an ad-hoc committee of 8 SLPs to use the workload analysis approach to create a weighted formula. Piloted the project during the 2004 school term. New language was written into the master contract to reflect the workload weighted formula. District plans to add 1.1.FTE position for the 2004-2005 school year. Four SLPs used a workload analysis approach to document the services that the SLPs were providing when faced with potential personnel cuts. The School District, the administration, and the School Board agreed to reduce the cuts from 3.5 FTE to 1.2 FTE. Contact: Heidi Notbohm, 608-829-9223, email@example.com.
Oshkosh Area School District Meeting with Department of Education to create examples of how IEPs may be written in Wisconsin to incorporate all four quadrants of workload so that Wisconsin SLPs can use a workload analysis approach for caseload standards in schools. Contact: Trici Schraeder, 608-265-4809, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Moving forward to implement workload can be challenging. Finding time to organize the project, identifying others who would assist in the project, defining the specific issues to be addressed, marketing the concept to colleagues, administrators, parents and financial concerns are some of the biggest obstacles.
The following is offered to consider when addressing these challenges:
Is It Time for a Consultant?: Business owners are usually multi-taskers and do-it-yourselfers. But sometimes an outside consultant can help you boost your private practice.
Stress and the Surfboard: Learning to surf gives an SLP insight into managing stress and overcoming challenges.

Recycling goes to center to be sorted, sent off to final location Single stream makes recycling easy
There are 18 comments on the Progress-Index story from Jul 24, 2010, titled Recycling goes to center to be sorted, sent off to final location Single stream makes recycling easy. In it, Progress-Index reports that:
In the past six years TFC Recycling General Manager Bill Feltus has seen more and more recyclables coming into the TFC Recycling facility in Chesterfield.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Progress-Index.
#1 Jul 24, 2010
When they bother to pick it up, what happened on the week of July 12th? It would be nice to have the trucks to run on a regular basis.
#2 Jul 24, 2010
It would be nice to have curb side recycling on even a monthly basis!
"Sun worshiper"
Since: Jul 10
#3 Jul 25, 2010
it's not perfect
#4 Jul 25, 2010
Perhaps, however when they are listed to run as part of the reason you pay taxes, you expect them to be there on posted dates. It does help to know when to place the bin on the curb.
#5 Jul 25, 2010
the GOBs of Hopewell have taken over Chesterfield, you lose VR.
#6 Jul 25, 2010
And I said I lived in Chesterfield, WHEN?
#7 Jul 25, 2010
VR does not live anywhere real--he lives, apparently, in some ideal, flawless place in the tri-cities area. Oh, that's right--he does not live in the tri-cities area either. But wherever he lives, it's just perfect--just ask him.
#8 Jul 25, 2010
I do not believe that I ever stated that I lived in Utopia, However, for damn sure I would not live in a crap hole like Hopewell. The location of my residence is not of real importance, the truth in my statements are.
My abode sometimes is in a house in an area that I have made concious decision to live and raise a family, at other times it is in my camper, either in the wooded area of a campground or, other times in a tent where I might reside for a weekend in solitary splendor. Answering only to nature, the event of choice for that weekend and the greatness of my God as I wake in the morning and cook breakfest over an open fire.
Perfection is not an area or area code, it is the sense of self satisfaction and self actualization one finds when looking from within.
#9 Jul 25, 2010
VR said "when they bother to pick it up.". and the piece is about Chesterfield.com mon sense,simple deduction,VR ain't too bright HA HA.
#10 Jul 25, 2010
So people in Hopewell cannot have a sense of self, satisfaction, and self-actualization when looking from within??? Apparently, according to your own terms, utopia can exist anywhere.....
#11 Jul 25, 2010
When did I EVER say that a person living in Hopewell could not have these feelings? What I have said, on multiple occasions is that I could not live in that CRAP HOLE. Remember, one man's crap hole can be another man's utopia.
I have given facts about Hopewell and to be honest, most of you have failed to contradict much of anything I have said about Hopewell, you, instead, attempt to attack me, any possible place you think or deduce that I might live and anything, other than my facts about Hopewell.
My opinions of Hopewell are mine and it is your fault that you do not oppose my thoughts and facts and settle for personal attacks.
#12 Jul 25, 2010
That is false, Voice. Several posters have contradicted your opinions with facts and you chose to disregard them b/c they proved you to be incorrect.
#13 Jul 26, 2010
Please provide specifics, not generalities.
#14 Jul 26, 2010
I have already done that. You fail, consistently, to acknowledge or respond to my comments. I should not have to tell you the same thing over and over. Unlike you, I do not like to froth at the mouth about the same issues ad nauseum.
#15 Jul 26, 2010
Again and under another of your multiple of names, you make a general statement, devoid of any factual backing. Now, as for the frothing at the mouth, I have not had any experience of frothing at the mouth since my son tricked me into eating a hand full of snap rocks, many years ago. You can always tell when a person is attempting to impress, some will use the old ad nauseum for effect. I tend to rely on redundance, such as, Did you see the naked woman running to the swimming hole, sans clothing?
#16 Jul 26, 2010
"Sans....vetements???? Ah bon?!!!!! Je t'ai tout explique, en detail, mille fois. Je t'ai donne les faits, tu choisis de les ignorer, et puis, tu fais semblant de ne rien voir. Je t'ai fait voir les postes que j'ai ecrits, que de nombreux gens t'ont explique, et tu continue a dire que personne ne t'as rien explique en details specifiques et reels. Tu es con, tu fais la tete comme un gamin, et tu ferais bien de te fermer la gueule.....
Sans what, dumba$$???????? Eh ben, ouaisssss.....Mon cul!!!!!
#17 Jul 26, 2010
Voice of Merde, how is it you find your own self so impressive? You cannot even speak your own language correctly, much less a second one. How long have you believed the past participle of the verb "to outgrow" is "outgrew?" You posted the words "they have outgrew" in an earlier post, didn't you? And since when is using the same adjectival modifier twice proper grammar ("naked" meaning the exact same thing as "sans vetements?") Moreover, your sentence structure above is completely incorrect, as you have placed "sans clothing" in a position such that it modifies "swimming hole" rather than "woman." So you are talking about a "swimming hole without clothing."
Voice, you have a lot to learn. It would behoove you to learn to speak your own language first before you condescend to others about their word usage.
And, by the way, it's not Spanish. It's French for "Voice full of Shit."
#18 Jul 27, 2010
And your point of this little tirade would be?

FRANKFURT Feb 15 German Internet service provider QSC may have a tough time reaching its 2016 financial targets if new cloud services fail to gain traction in the next few years, its chief financial officer told a German paper.
The company has previously said it is targeting 2016 sales of 0.8-1 billion euros ($1.09-1.37 billion) and a margin for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of 25 percent.
"The targets and strategy are still valid. Whether this can be realised in 2016 or 2017 depends on innovations," Barbara Stolz told Boersen-Zeitung in an interview published on Saturday.
"Reaching the 2016 targets surely is a challenge," she said, adding that the contribution from cloud services to the group's sales was limited so far.
According to Thomson Reuters data, analysts expect QSC's 2016 sales to reach 488 million euros, with an EBITDA margin of 19.3 percent.
QSC, which is scheduled to present preliminary full-year results for 2013 on Feb. 26, has targeted sales of at least 450 million euros and an EBITDA margin of at least 17 percent for last year.
($1 = 0.7307 euros) (Reporting by Christoph Steitz, editing by David Evans)

Problem with in wall dryer duct.
Our condo has a washer and dryer closet in the kitchen. The exit duct for the dryer enters back wall of the closet at a level of 2 feet above the floor, and inside the wall runs straight up to the ceiling, where it makes a 90 degree turn and then runs horizontally about 6-8 feet inside the ceiling (above a downstairs shower stall) to the outside wall.
With a moisture detector I found there is a lot of moisture in the wall along the vertical section of the duct. Since the previous owner did not hook up his dryer to this duct, I was worried the pipe had somehow ruptured inside the wall and spewed moist air in the wall space for years, forcing the former owner to abandon this duct.
A neighbor told me that this was a common problem, because of poor design moisture settles downward in the pipe and in the walls. He suggests the duct isn't broken inside the wall at all.
What do you guys think? We are planning to install a new washer and dryer, betting the pipe is intact, do you guys think this is a good idea?
Can you get access to the attic where the pipe comes up the wall to shine a light down inside it? :)
No, there is a second floor, the pipe is between the floor and the ceiling.
Albo Andy built another condo I see.
I don't get the joke
It's a very poor layout for a dryer vent. Way to long and to many turns.
Must take a long time for the clothes to dry.

Only 67K CCW in Ohio ?
Ohio CCW Holders are a real minority I guess.
Is it that difficult to get, or is CCW that unpopular of a concept there?

It's not difficult to obtain and the price of the permit is only $45 and the training is $135. Some people just don't care about the safety of themselves, love ones or the people around them. I still have to put in for mine haven't been downtown in awhile. Don't read into it I have 2 permits which alow me to carry here just not an Ohio one.
It comes a time in your life when you run across someone you should have never @#$$% with. Allow me to introduce myself!
reportedly, it's closer to 72k licensees.
Q1 2006 (which, iirc is not counted there, given the source cited was the 2005 report), there were apppx 5600 new licensees (and 100 revocations / 110 denials, and 37 suspensions)
Q2's report shouold be out soon. (Yaaay, I'm part of Q1's statistic! :) )
FYI, training can be had for as little as $60, if you look.
Both my wife and I took ours for that price.

Just curious,
my home state (Fla) has well over
300k CCW holders
There are over 70k in the Tampa Bay area alone.
And I always thought that was a really low number.
I have had my CCW since 2004 here in Ohio. I also have a Penn. permit. The Plain Dealer is extreamly anti. CCW. I was very displeased with their publishing my name and the names of other CCW holders. I wrote the editor and cancelled my subscription. A lot of good that did. I'm not surprised at their continued biased reporting. No wonder that many were put off from getting their permits. Perhaps the new law will make things more CCW friendly in Ohio.

Seems the perceived hoops and hurdles put a lot of folks off - sadly too many potential CCW's are IMO not that dedicated to the cause. The more who do add to the uptake - the louder can be the voices for achieving useful change.
I estimate 810,000 CCW's in PA currently (6.75% at last mention). Of course PA shall issue is well established and also very straightforward to obtain.

Remember FLA has a been a carry state for over 20 years. Ohio is has only been a carry state for two years. I would expect the number to go up though not as high as FLA. When I move there in three years or so I will add my name to the list. Unfortunately it will be published in the Cleveland Communist Manfesto News, oops, I mean the Plain Dealer!Originally Posted by Leadslinger
Ohio has some laws that need to be "ironed out" such as the plain site law in a motor vehicle and local ordinances trumping state firearm laws. The battle in Ohio has not been won COMPLETLY yet. I beg you guys to check out the Ohioians for Concealed Carry website. Even if you aren't a resident an email to some of the legislators would really help. You never know, you may have to travel through the state someday.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is an absolute disgrace. I hate that newspaper and all that it stands for. I keep on my in-laws in NE Ohio to cancel their subscription. It is worse than my local paper the Atlanta Journal and Constitution (very anti-2nd) as far as liberal bias against the 2nd admendment. Is it just me or is NE Ohio full of a ton of sheep and ex-hippies?

Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
Doc pretty much wrapped it up IMO. With the variety of laws to keep track of (city ordnances, the undefined "plain sight" law and some others) it can be difficult to keep track of what is legal. Recently I have been rather upset as everywhere I seem to go has been posted. But then I don't get out much. The library being posted isn't that big a deal since it is county property and I think that's normal. But the movie theatre we went to a few weeks ago (saw Pirates, it was OK) and a store this past weekend were all posted. The store I didn't even notice until after I had come back out of, it was having a going out of business sale which made me happy once I saw the sign. lol
Ohio is one of those "border" states, very evenly divided between city liberals and rural conservatives.
Noticed that little article didn't have normal strong-side belt carry.

I really love how, at the top of the page, the graphic is indexed and linked as 1. Concealed weapons 2. Crime. Sheeeesh.

As far as the posted signs, I think that you will begin to see them disappear over time. Once people realize that crime stats are down and the streets aren't running red with the blood of vengence (as the Plain Dealer would have you believe) the signs will be few and far in between.
I think Ohio is the same as Georgia- If a PRIVATE business has posted, you can ignore and still carry. If you are made, they will ask you to leave. As long as you leave with no incident then al will be fine. If you protest, then the cops will come and give you a tresspass charge. Can someone from Ohio clarify this?
Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
Doc, I think you're right that the signs will decrease. Another big factor will probably be as their IT infrastructure gets built up to handle the requests more efficiently. As you get more licensees out there, the potential business impact of denying access becomes a bit more significant. But the main issue will be the very fact that it is a non-issue!

Considering Oho has only been a "shall issue" state for 2 yrs this is pretty good. It took Virginia, a decidedly more pro gun state, almost 4 yrs to reach this point. We have been "shall issue" now for 11 yrs or so and have around 120K permits issued.Originally Posted by Leadslinger

In 2002, Suzuki introduced the V-Strom 1000 in a new motorcycle category, the Sport Enduro Tourer. Its running performance and packaging earned worldwide acclaim. In 2003, Suzuki released the V-Strom 650 targeting a wider range of users. This versatile model covers not only daily use such as commuting, but also weekend touring as well. With the addition of an ABS-equipped model in 2006, the V-Strom 650 has always been the best-selling model in its class. To further improve its running performance and riding comfort, Suzuki decided to develop a new model.
For 2012, Suzuki is introducing the new and improved V-Strom 650 ABS. The development concept for the 2012 model was "The Comfortable Adventure Tourer". While enhancing the proven running performance and in-town versatility of the current model, Suzuki improved the riding comfort even further on the 2012 V-Strom. Its new V-Twin 645 cc engine features improved overall performance in the low-to-mid rpm range and the styling and bodywork design was revamped for better wind protection. In addition, fuel economy and environmental performance were also enhanced.
2012 will mark the 10th anniversary of the V-Strom series since its introduction. Suzuki hopes the new V-Strom 650 ABS will be enjoyed by many more riders.
|Key Features
|Compact, slim styling featuring a vivid combination of expressive painted sections and functional black resin components accentuates the sporty profile.
|The V-Strom 650 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)* unit features a lightweight, compact design. The ABS monitors wheel speed, and matches stopping power to available traction.
|*Please note that ABS is a supplemental device for brake operation, not a device for shortening stopping distance. Always remember to reduce speed sufficiently before approaching curves and corners.
|645 cc V-Twin engine features broad torque delivery, signature V-Twin power pulses and sporty quick-revving high rpm range power surges for full-range riding enjoyment. An efficient engine design delivers high mileage and class-leading riding range.
|A radiator with a more compact core, flanked by wind-directing plates shaped with holes* for enhancing cooling efficiency, allows hot radiator air to flow out to the side air outlets and away from the rider�s legs. (*Patent pending)
|The V-Strom 650 ABS fuel injection system uses fine-atomization 10-hole fuel injectors for high combustion efficiency.
|A high-speed 32-bit ECU controls Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system, contributing to enhanced low-to-mid rpm range torque, a linear throttle response and lower emissions.
|The V-Strom 650 ABS has a high-mounted stainless steel exhaust system with aluminum muffler that is tuned to enhance engine torque and low-to-mid range performance.
|Suzuki-developed and patented Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control (TI-ISC) contributes to easy cold starting, stable idle and lower emissions.
|The six-speed transmission is tailored for active sporty rides with tighter 1st through 5th gear ratios, while keeping highway cruises comfortable with a tall top gear.
|Lightweight and rigid twin-spar aluminum-alloy frame and swingarm contribute to smooth handling performance and well-poised running at high-speeds.
|The V-Strom 650 ABS features spring-preload-adjustable 43 mm stanchion-tube front forks and link-type rear suspension with rebound stepless damping adjuster as well as a spring preload adjuster.
|19 inch front and 17 inch rear radial tires specifically designed for the V-Strom 650 ABS.
|Front dual 310 mm disc brakes and rear 260 mm disc brake deliver smooth, controllable stopping power. Expansion-resistant high-pressure brake hose enhances the responsive brake feel.
|Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)* unit features a lightweight, compact design. The ABS monitors wheel speed, and matches stopping power to available traction.
|The sporty, dynamic front fairing houses compact dual multi-reflector headlight delivering superb light distribution.
|A three-way height-adjustable windscreen, carefully shaped with extensive wind tunnel testing, efficiently reduces wind noise and rider fatigue.
|The V-Strom 650 ABS features a comfortable riding position, thanks to its well-shaped seat. A slim 5.3 gallon fuel tank and compactly tucked-in frame covers make the rider feel at one with the machine.
|The V-Strom 650 ABS seat combines red-stitched leather-look sections and suede-look, slip-resistant surfaces, and is topped off with an embossed V-Strom logo.
