A great way to light up any party. These flashing pins are an instant ice breaker for any gathering. We used these for all guests at a 60th birthday party...worn by ages 2 through 94. Put smiles on everyone's face.

About Me Parent
We got these but from a pack of 50 about 6 did not work. Other than that they were okay. It was hard to give to the kids in the package unopen so I decided to open them in advance and test the blinker to test them before I gave them to the kids.

Sylvania >Restaurants >
Pizza >J & G Pizza Palace
5692 Main St, Sylvania, OH | Directions 4356041.716967 -83.702831
Mon. - Sun. 4pm - 12pm
I miss J & Gs – I started eating at J & G's since it opened and it is my favorite all time pizza. I hope it has not changed. I live a little too far to get there now, but when I am in the area and hungry it's my number one place to go.
Not very customer friendly – I asked for gyro meat on my pizza. Gyro meat was not a topping listed, but you can see the gyro meat spinning, and it is a Greek restaurant. The waitress told me that this cannot be done. She told me that I could order a gyro and put it on the pizza myself. The waitress said that people are always asking for a gyro pizza and they just don't do it. I told her to ask the chef anyway. The chef came out of the kitchen and told me that this cannot be done because it takes too much time, and they have not done this for 40 years and they can't start now. I found that interesting because it is an open kitchen and the cooks were all through my wait and dinner were slicing gyro meat. Also, in the time he took to come out of the kitchen it could have been done, or you slice some gyro meat ahead of time put it in a bowl as pizza topping when requested…how hard can it be? Well anyway this was my first J&G experience and other comments would be that the sauce was almost nonexistent and bland, cheese was excellent, the thin crust seemed to be a tad bit undercooked, no water to the table, waitress was hurried, not friendly, and overworked ( they did have help wanted signs though ) . They probably will not change their ways as the place was packed. Had a negative dining experience and probably will not return.
Best Thin-Crust Pizza in Metro Toledo – I lived in Sylvania in the 80s, and I still haven't found a thin-crust pizza that's equal to J & G's (although the Black Pelican in Kittyhawk, NC comes close). J & G's dining room is small and was usually packed, so I got in the habit of calling ahead for carry-out. Many of the other locals did the same thing becuase the wait for a table on a busy night could be daunting. While at a conference in Sarasota, FL several years ago, I was talking to a woman who had just moved to Findlay, OH from Chicago. Somehow we got on the topic of pizza, and she said that she'd "stumbled" on the best thin-crust pizza she'd ever had -- at a pizza place with an odd name near Toledo. Was she surprised when I correctly guessed that she'd eaten at J & G's. BTW, they also make absolutely authentic gyros -- but I really miss that pizza!!
best place to sit, eat and have a good time – I have been going there for 10 years now, and it just keeps getting better. The waitresses have been there for as long as its been open, and know what there doing. The decor has been up graded over the years and looks nice with the velvet wall paper. Sometimes the wait on a Friday nite can be up to 1-2 hours long at prime dinner time, the inside secret is to go early. They open at 4pm everyday. If your trying to find it, dont go by J &C's its J&G's Pizza Palace. Tell them Jessie sent you!
Small Resturant in Sylvania – The resturant is still owned and operated by the same family that it always has been. The food is good for the pricing. I have been eating there for years. It is a short walk from most downtown residents. The dining area is small and the wait can be long. Take out is opinional.

Auburn has lost five of its last six to Georgia but should reverse that trend.
Alabama has struggled at times post-LSU but should reverse that trend, too.
Jacksonville State has won all five of its road games, and that trend won't stay the same, either.
No. 1 Alabama (9-0) at Mississippi State (4-5): The last time Alabama lost to Mississippi State was in 2007 after a tough seven-point loss to LSU.
The Crimson Tide put together a lackluster performance two years ago in beating MSU, and it came after falling to LSU. Last year, Alabama suffered its only loss (Texas A&M) after beating LSU.
Nick Saban has talked often this week that MSU has lost to five good teams this season (Oklahoma State, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina and Texas A&M). But the four wins just aren't impressive at all — Alcorn, Troy, Bowling Green and Kentucky.
We're supposed to expect Alabama will be challenged by this team, which is mediocre in every major statistical category, except time of possession. MSU is fourth nationally in that. ... Alabama 38, Mississippi State 13.
No. 25 Georgia (6-3) at No. 7 Auburn (9-1): Georgia has won the last two in this series by a combined 83-7, but this is a different Auburn team.
If the Bulldogs have a chance, it's this — although Auburn is third nationally in rushing offense, the Bulldogs are better at stopping the run than they have been at times in the past, ranking 20th in rush defense. ... Auburn 29, Georgia 24.
No. 22 Jacksonville State (8-2) at No. 2 Eastern Illinois (9-1): Eastern Illinois' closest game in the Ohio Valley Conference this year was an 18-point victory at Tennessee State. The only game EIU has lost was 43-39 at Northern Illinois, an FCS team that is 10-0.
JSU is 5-0 in road games this year, but EIU hasn't lost at home. ... Eastern Illinois 35, Jacksonville State 21.
Florida (4-5) at No. 11 South Carolina (7-2): The Gators have lost four straight. It's worth noting Will Muschamp's record is 22-13. Ron Zook went 23-14 during 2002-04 at Florida and was fired. ... South Carolina 27, Florida 10.
Kentucky (2-7) at Vanderbilt (5-4): The Wildcats haven't won a Southeastern Conference game since the 10-7 win over a Derek Dooley Tennessee team in 2011. Dooley, by the way, now coaches receivers for the Dallas Cowboys. ... Vanderbilt 31, Kentucky 17.
Texas Tech (7-3) vs. No. 4 Baylor (8-0): Baylor leads the country in scoring and total offense, but the Bears also are No. 9 nationally in total defense and seventh in scoring defense. ... Baylor 52, Texas Tech 24.
No. 12 Oklahoma State (8-1) at No. 23 Texas (7-2): The Longhorns have won six straight under embattled coach Mack Brown, beating Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas Christian, Kansas and West Virginia. Texas replaced Manny Diaz as defensive coordinator after two games with Greg Robinson, and the Longhorns have gotten better results since then.
Oklahoma State also has lost to lowly West Virginia, which is 4-6 with its other wins coming over William and Mary and Georgia State. … Oklahoma State 35, Texas 33.
No. 14 Michigan State (8-1) at Nebraska (7-2): Michigan State ranks first in the nation in rush defense and total defense. ... Michigan State 21, Nebraska 18.
No. 5 Stanford (8-1) at Southern California (7-3): The Trojans are 4-1 since firing Lane Kiffin and replacing him with Ed "Give a Lineman a Cookie" Orgeron. The lone loss came at Notre Dame 14-10. They are now 17th nationally in total defense, including third nationally in the red zone.
Stanford is coming off the emotional win over Oregon, although the Cardinal is 4-0 in its game after Oregon the previous four years. … Southern California 24, Stanford 21.
No. 24 Miami (7-2) at Duke (7-2): Miami is coming off two losses to Florida State and Virginia Tech, while Duke has won five straight. Duke has clinched its first winning season since 1994 when it went 8-4. ... Miami 27, Duke 26.
Last week: 6-4. (In case you're interested, I missed on Jacksonville State-Eastern Kentucky by a lot. JSU won 68-10. I also missed on Pitt's win over Notre Dame, Vandy's win over Florida, and Virginia Tech's win over Miami.)
Overall: 85-25.

Posted Sunday February 03, 2013, About: Ron Artest punched Brandon Knight in Lakers win
punched? that's to much..that never happen...
Posted Wednesday January 30, 2013, About: Grizz, Raptors need third team for Gay trade
Spurs and Pistons is lucky to have a championships. In this days, the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Mavs, and the Knicks have the only potential to be a championship throughout the year. OKC best chance is this year. They cannot keep up that line up for long...small market team...thats the way it goes...
Posted Friday January 18, 2013, About: Gasol 'probably not' open to bench role
I love Gasol...but i think it's inevitable...with Hawks and JSmith sour relationship...and Gasol turning sour on his coach...it's a perfect trade...maybe that will revive DH12 game....
Posted Tuesday December 04, 2012, About: Gasol sits with knee tendonitis
I am a Lakers fan. I love Pau. I love him to join the Heat, via trade for Bosh. C'mon Heat won without defensive Center, between Pau and Bosh, i think Pau with his height is more "defensive". And the Heat needs a low-post scorer, to attract defender, to free up shooter Allen and Lewis.
I am hating Lakers management now, and D'Antoni for benching him, and Kobe ranting about him. As if Kobe wins without a talented big. And they don't have a clue if D12 will stay after this season. ****& it Lakers, got your **** together.

Posted Tuesday November 27, 2012, About: No plans to trade Gasol ... yet
Is the Lakers the only team in NBA???
i love Pau, when the Lakers got him, instant Championship, i will never forget that as a Lakers fan. It's unfortunate that they hire D'Antoni rather than Phil, whom knows how to use Gasol, and perfect in triangle. If D'Antoni system is the same, run and gun, Gasol cannot keep up to that. Then they will trade him. Then they will make play-offs, then everything is slow-down. Then they will miss Gasol, because he is got on half-court set.
Don't trade Gasol.

Posted Sunday November 18, 2012, About: Hawks not interested in trading Josh Smith for Pau Gasol
i love Pau...and i like Odom (when he was in Lakers)....i like Eddie Jones too...common denominator..although Pau has not yet been traded... their career suffer after being traded by the Lakers...from being an All-Star to scrub....that will happen to Pau...The Lakers are business, i cannot blame them, do not attach to much emotion. This trade will happen when the Lakers doesn't win enough before the Feb. trade deadline. With Pau and probably a few of those bench players, and/or Ebanks.
Posted Tuesday November 13, 2012, About: Jackson on Lakers call: 'Slimy,' 'weird'
i love PJ, the man has 11 coaching rings, can't deny that. But some news said that he want a piece of Lakers, like what Magic has. I guess Lakers owner are greedy enough to let that one mistake happen again. So, they say NO to Phil. BTW, he already had that piece of Lakers, Jeanne Buss piece of ass..lol
Posted Tuesday October 16, 2012, About: Could Fisher return to Lakers?
Lakers is so rich..they can afford players just to improve the morale...he is a leader, strong locker room presence...his experience on the sideline, probably grooming to be a coach....
Posted Thursday June 28, 2012, About: Hawks targeting Gasol for Josh Smith
i will say again..i love Gasol..the moment he came to LA, they became instant Champion. I love him to stay, but the Lakers will not make it with current line-up..they are not athletic enough. Either they trade Bynum ofr Howard or Gasol for JSmith, the Lakers will be relevant again. With JSmith athletic ability to play defense and run and get back on the other end of the court, that is lacking in Lakers. Penetrating PG will now think twice, if you got a shot blocker down there, and Howard and Smith are among the best of them.
Posted Thursday June 28, 2012, About: KG decision coming this weekend?
JOin the HEAT...they won with Bosh as Center, Lebron as 4 and Battier as 3....so him as Center and Battier as 6th man...
Posted Thursday May 24, 2012, About: Did World Peace save his contract?
i think he is the only Lakers that is consistent and playing good...aside those stupid technicals!
Posted Sunday May 20, 2012, About: Kobe gives Brown 'the look'
It's Kobe's fault..and it's Coach Brown fault also....the problem is blaming it to Pau, Drew, MWP, Sessiosn, Hill and Blake and Barnes...which to me they play decent and good basketball...and since they cannot trade KObe, they will blow this core...and will make STUPID trades..damn it..just get a coach that will discipline Kobe...which is few.
Posted Sunday May 20, 2012, About: Mavs packaging Odom for run at Gasol?
i love LO but it safe to assume he is over. Lakers are down 3-1 they are done. The core of the Lakers are good, too bad they cannot trade Kobe, so they will fire Mike Brown and will make stupid trade for Gasol Bynum Artest Sessions Blake Hill and Barnes.
Posted Monday May 14, 2012, About: Bynum predicts title, 'if we ...'
it will take miracle for the Lakers to WIN against the OKC.
Posted Wednesday April 18, 2012, About: Buss had to convince Lakers to take Bynum
right, Lakers haven't had high picks..coz they are winning even with just Kobe...their picks are usually mid-way...having said that, i guess it pure luck also. Some team can pick him up before the Lakers. Or Drew can be injury prone.
In 33 years with Buss, the Lakers just miss 2 play-offs..that is something, right?
In 33 years with Buss, the Lakers just miss 2 play-offs..that is something, right?
Posted Monday April 16, 2012, About: Sessions really, really wants to stay in L.A.
something about that Lakers jersey that can turn average player into thinking they are an "all-star" players....
Posted Monday April 16, 2012, About: Bynum now more MVP than Superman
Or just Gasol...how many times did Gasol fed Bynum around the basket? for me Gasol is a perfect 4 , if you have a dominant center.
Posted Sunday April 15, 2012, About: Owner of the worst pro sports team is...
MJ should sold his share/ownership of Bobcats. Be a part owner of top teams like Chicago or something. Bobcats has no chance.
Posted Saturday April 14, 2012, About: Kobe out for regular season?
kobe should rest and sit the season...he has no problem regarding being "rusty", he need rest more than anything...
Posted Sunday April 01, 2012, About: Bynum tuning out Lakers coach?
Bynum would be a great player, offensively he is showing much better that DHoward, but he should also focus on playing defensively and getting those rebound. IF he can, somewhat, help and stop those penetrating PG's the Lakers would be good. Bynum has potential, esp if healthy but his head is way ahead. He needs to be taught the values and leadership. He is in a great "ship" already.
Posted Saturday March 31, 2012, About: Nash would listen to Miami's pitch
the Heat dont Nash, they need a defensive PG with decent outside shot. someone that will defend the likes of Rose, Westbrook and the likes.

Warning: Tips for secure mobile holiday shopping
I'm dating myself, but I remember when holiday shopping involved pouring through ads in the Sunday paper, placing actual phone calls from tethered land lines to research product stock and availability, and actually driving places to pick things up. Now, holiday shoppers can do all of that from a smartphone or tablet in a few seconds, but there are some security pitfalls to be aware of.

You express your design intent in a textual specification, from which Sculptor generates high quality Java code and configuration. You can use the concepts from Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in the textual Domain Specific Language (DSL), e.g. Service, Module, Entity, Value Object, Repository. The generated code is based on well-known frameworks such as Spring Framework, Hibernate, and Java EE. Sculptor takes care of the technical details and the tedious repetitive work, and lets you focus on delivering more business value (and have more fun). The DSL and the code generation drives the development and is not a one time shot. The application can be developed incrementally with an efficient round trip loop. Sculptor is useful when developing typical enterprise or Web applications that benefit from a rich and persistent domain model.
Sirius is an Eclipse project which allows you to easily create your own graphical modelling workbench by leveraging the Eclipse Modeling technologies. It provides a generic workbench for model-based architecture engineering that could be easily tailored to fit specific needs. It enables the specification of a modeling workbench in terms of graphical, table, or tree editors with validation rules and actions using declarative descriptions. All shape characteristics and behaviors can be easily configured. No code generation is involved. Once completed, the modeling workbench can be deployed as a standard Eclipse plugin.
Acceleo is a code generator designed to efficiently implement the MDA approach (Model Driven Architecture) and to improve software development productivity. It is natively integrated with Eclipse and EMF. It includes tools and editors making it easy to learn and to adapt to any kind of project or technology. It provides incremental generation, meta-model interoperability, simple and extensible syntax, template driven customization, and more.
Saros is a Eclipse plugin for collaborative text editing that in particular targets distributed pair programming (also called remote pair programming), but can support arbitrarily many participants at once. All members of a session have an identical copy of an Eclipse project and Saros keeps these copies in sync as editing progresses.
gPM (generic Process Management) is a generic TOPCASED tool for business process management that can also be used for bug or issue tracking and for other almost any document-based process. gPM is composed of a server and several clients are available (Web-based, Eclipse Mylyn connector, Eclipse rich client). As gPM is a generic tool, it needs to be instantiated for each business process you want to support. Defining a business process consists of providing the product types, sheet types, sheet link types, and the life cycle of each sheet type. gPM configuration also includes roles and access controls, sheet type life cycles, dictionaries and translations, functional extension points, filters, and more. gPM has already been successfully instantiated for both simple development processes (like Mantis or Bugzilla) and complex industrial processes, like in the aerospace domain.
Sigasi is an intelligent Eclipse- based development environment (IDE) for the VHDL language. It contains an ultra-fast VHDL parser and compiler that runs transparently in the background. At any given moment as you make modifications, the tool fully understands the design in terms of VHDL concepts. It allows you to write code faster by providing intelligent code completion, instant error reporting, intelligent navigation, mouse-over descriptions, a hierarchy browser, version control, issue and time tracking, and project and code templates.
Azzyzt JEE Tools is a set of Eclipse plugins for creating a so-called "azzyzted" project, and for creating code from a model. Azzyzt uses Java JPA entities as a model, and from that model it creates an enterprise application, ready to be deployed in a Java EE 6 application server like GlassFish 3.1, ready to be accessed via CORBA, SOAP, and REST. Thus the generated application is a set of Web services, providing all that you need in a typical CRUD application. Generated enterprise applications have separate source folders for generated and developer-supplied content. You can add your own functionality to a well-engineered base project. Azzyzt JEE Tools is not about user interfaces. It is expected that the generated application is accessed by a RIA frontend or by a fat client.
A powerful build tool with a simple language.
A digital e-portfolio builder and social networking application.

Chris, you are so right. This may have been the best thing RTF as a group has done. I have been literally sick at my stomach since reading the outcome here and my heart is still broken thinking about Jamie and Davis. But I am rededicated to following RTF in case I might ever be in a place to help some one else. And my dogs will never be left in the box if I am in a motel, not even the chessie.

This terrible event put me in contact with some awfully wonderful people, like I told them, there's no doubt in my mind that the folks here would have done the same for me! Using your resources at hand is second nature and I am thankful they were there when We needed them. There are more good folks in Lafayette Louisiana than bad and we had a bunch working for us last week. Apologizes to anyone who were offended by my energetic posts, if you knew me well you would think my name should be Red Bull. Lets pray and hope we never need to mobilize like last week but take comfort that if needed, the army of RTF folks will rise to the challenge.

If I wasn't depressed enough going into Denver's 11 a.m. kickoff, believe me, my mood got much, much worse. The Broncos didn't remotely look too good. Yeah, their defense played OK, but shit, this was against the Bangles. Everybody knows the Bangles are terrible and they were true to form.
I don't know if it was just a case of the rookie coach jitters for Josh McDaniels but from my standpoint on the loveseat, his play calling and clock management were absolutely wretched. He ran the ball when everybody knew they were going to run. Worse, he threw the ball when everybody and their grandma knew he was going to throw the ball. His script of plays did not have the terrible Bangle defense on their toes whatsoever. I mean really, Josh, are those the masterminded plays you brought from New England? OK, maybe you are just saving the really good ones for a real opponent but damn, Denver really lost game. They looked like a six-game winning team.
Lets get Denver quarterback Kyle Orton into the conversation. Is this guy stoned? Does he want to win? Orton just doesn't have any pop in his step when he goes back to throw the ball. He seems like he is in slow motion all the time. Now I understand that he may have a bit of an injury and was throwing with a glove but that shouldn't take a NFL QB's heart out of the game, should it? That's what it seemed like to me. The kicker, with Orton, is when he pulled a middle school football mistake out of his bag and got sacked with a score of 6-7, pulling Denver out of field goal range on third down. He single-handedly took the Broncos out of the game in one play.
Believe me I was depressed-and-delighted when Broncos wide receiver Brandon Stokley miraculously caught a deflected-Orton-dead-duck-of-a-pass for an 87-yard touchdown with 11 seconds left in the game, giving Denver a 12-7 win over the Bangles.
While the outcome brought half a smile to my face, it did not really deter my football depression because, well, they really lost to the Bangles. Plain and simple. If Denver had snuck that win out against, say, the Patriots, it would be a different story. Those are the games worth sneaking wins out of. Sneaking a win away from the Bangles is as fun as sneaking a game away from, well, the Bangles. (I estimate that 90 percent of Broncoland didn't even know the Broncos had won the game, because their TVs had been off since the third quarter.)
I stepped outside for a head-clearing round of disc golf before the nightcap game. I couldn't have been in a worse mood when that game started, but believe me, with what I was about to watch, my mood would vastly improve.
Jay Cutler finally proved to Chicagoland what Jay Cutler is all about: Interceptions. The manchild had four picks in that game and he could have had at least three or four more, had those Packer D-backs and linebackers been able to hold onto the ball.
Yes, Cutler was in true form. Third and seven. Interception. Time for a big play. Interception. The whole game is on the line. Interception. If you hadn't seen the game, believe me, this is all true. In one series he threw three straight interceptions (defender finally decided to catch the last one).
I was in tears full of laughter Sunday evening with Cutler's performance. I was giddy with excitement like a seventh-grader on a snow day. Yes, Cutler proved to the world what we in Broncoland already know. The manchild is overrated. And all of a sudden, Orton's dismal performance really didn't look that bad. Orton didn't throw any interceptions did he? No. Orton didn't run his mouth all day did he? No. Orton didn't whine like a baby did he? No. Did the Bears win? No. Did the Broncos win? Yes.
I will be hesitant to jump on any bandwagon that says the Broncos are going to be AFC Champions this year but after this weekend's football action and seeing Cutler fail in the worst way, I have lost all feelings of trader's remorse.

Freshly Minted Chops
Author Notes: Good pork chops are studded with slivers of garlic and fresh mint leaves, then seared over a charcoal fire. The mint oils are released into the meat, and the garlic gently roasts. - boulangere
Serves 2
- 2 porkchops, about 1" thick
- 16-20 large leaves of fresh mint
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced as thinly as possible
- Olive oil
- Sea or kosher salt and grinds of pepper
- A good charcoal fire
- Lay your chops on your work surface. Beginning Beginning on the top side, make slits about 1/2" deep that are 1" apart. Fold a sliver of garlic into a mint leaf. Using the BACK of the tip of a paring knife press the little bundle into one of your slits. Repeat until all have been filled. Repeat on the other side being sure not to place them in the same spots as on the first side. You should have about 4 filled slits on each side.
- Film the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil. Set the chops in it, then turn them over so that both sides are coated. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cover them with plastic and let sit at room temperature for an hour.
- After about a half hour, light your fire. I'd definitely suggest springing an extra dollar or two for hardwood charcoal over briquettes. Use propane only if you must.
- Before you head for the grill with your chops, preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Yes, I know it hot, but it's only 225 degrees. You're going to sear the chops for flavor on the grill, then let them finish cooking in a gentle oven. Place them on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a clean, oven-proof platter and take them inside to the oven. Finish in the oven for 10 minutes. Build into your serving hour enough time for the chops to come out of the oven and rest for 10 minutes before plating. Cover them with foil or plastic and a couple of kitchen towels.
- In the meantime, as long as you've got a fire burning, perhaps scrub and thinly slice some potatoes. Turn them over in a film of olive oil, add some salt and pepper and grill them while the chops are in the oven. Alternatively, chop up some onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms, toss them in some olive oil, salt and pepper, and sauté them over your fire in a perforated grill pan. Either, or both, would be a lovely accompaniment to your newly minted chops.

All the fat has been bread out of pork, so it's unfortunately easy to overcook. I hope this works for you.

text: Certified Livestock Management Training Workshops Set For 2013 Depending on your herd size, you may be required to attend a CLMT workshop, pass a test or both. Published on: Dec 5, 2012 Workshops have been scheduled to provide Illinois livestock producers the manure management training they need to meet the requirements of the state's Livestock Management Facilities Act. The Certified Livestock Manager Training workshops will be held in eight locations throughout the state beginning Dec. 11. While a general curriculum is offered, several workshops are tailored specifically for either swine or beef and dairy production. Producers should register for the session that best fits their schedule and interests. "Enrollment in one of these workshops will keep producers current on the latest research about the proper use and application of livestock manure," says Warren Goetsch, bureau chief of Environmental Programs for the Illinois Department of Agriculture. "Because classroom space is limited, I'd encourage them to register for a workshop and purchase a training manual as soon as possible."Certified Livestock Management Training Workshops Set For 2013 The curriculum has been updated to reflect the latest industry practices and offer new information to producers who may have completed the training before and are renewing their certification. The new workshop topics include: •How drought impacts my manure management plan •Nutrient Management Planning made easy •Getting the most out of nitrogen management •Tools for helping manage manure: EZ regs, IMMP, Manure Share The Livestock Management Facilities Act requires facilities with 300 or more animal units to have at least one employee certified in proper manure handling procedures. For facilities with 300 to 999 animal units, the employee either must attend a workshop or pass the Illinois Department of Agriculture's Certified Livestock Manager exam. Employees of facilities with 1,000 or more animal unites must do both to achieve certification. Employees also have the option of taking five online quizzes. Passing them is the equivalent of having attended a workshop, but does not substitute for passing the Certified Livestock Manager exam. To register for a workshop, call the University of Illinois Extension at 1-800-345-6087. The cost is $30. If more than one employee from the same farm signs-up, each registration after the first will cost $20. The workshops will use the instructional manual for the national Livestock and Poultry Environmental Stewardship Curriculum, which can be bought at the time of registration for $62.50, including shipping and handling. The manual also is available on compact disc for $32.50. There is no charge to take the online quizzes other than the cost of a manual. To register for the online program option, contact Laura Pepple by calling (217) 244-0083 or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

I can't go into a lot of detail, but I am particularly proud of myself tonight. I became codependent after meeting my husband and both of us having a lot of health problems. I ended up being the caregiver for both of us, which meant I stopped taking care of myself. Well, today, I didn't do that!
He choose to put off the doctor for months despite me urging him to go. Today, he finally went. I didn't go. Why should I have to sit there for hours waiting because he didn't do the things he was supposed to do weeks ago? I DON'T. Today, He was at the doc picking up after his own mess instead of me being there doing it for him.
I can't control him. It sucks for him, but I feel good about me :)
My counselor, at the time instructed me to go to the meetings....It is almost like a 12 step program and you get the coins for the time you put into it...I still have the coins...
There are times I wish I could find another meeting in my area...I still have the books and at times go back and read them...
I don't want to ever go back to that craziness I lived in...If it means for me to grow old by myself it is better than being that way again...IMOA...
You should never put a person, except God or your child before yourself...
I will get off of my soapbox now.....
My post is the first in the thread so I thought I might post a quick update. Since that moment in 2009 much water is over the bridge. My wife made a couple of half hearted attempts to control her gambling addiction with no success, she never faced her sexual addiction.
She passed away of breast cancer in November 2011. Regardless of the turmoil our life had been, her passing was devastating for me. This summer and fall I dated a woman I really like but she is not really interested in anything beyond just socializing so it isn't going to go anywhere.
Now more than a year after my wifes death I live alone. No drama, no lies, but also no company around the house.
I continue to attend my COSA group, I strongly recommend those reading this find COSA, S-Anon, or similar support group. I eventually figured out that while I didn't cause her behavior and I couldn't cure it- I could look deeply into my own patterns and take better care of myself and any relationships I am lucky enough to find.
I think it is the human condition to own emotional scars and troubling memories. For me, I hope to help create a comfortable and mutually happy relationship with one good woman before I die. Mebbe won't make it because of my age but I still think I should try to have what I want.
The best of luck to everyone in this forum who is sincerely trying to work through a bad time. My group is very helpful and supportive. I recommend you try it.
Can a codependent person be codependent with certain people and exclude others from their codependent behaviors ?
I am asking because I can see where my WH is codependent in relationships with other people outside our marriage. In our marriage, I don't see it. Maybe I am too close to the relationship to see it?? I just don't know if that is possible so I am asking. Thanks for any insight you may bring.
X jumped right on that label for a while, and continued to avoid addressing his alcoholism and sex addiction.
That said I DO know another couple of recovering addicts who are codependent as well. I think there could be some codependency as you describe.
ETA: Darnit - this post is supposed to be about me!! I'm leaving this in as an example of how I turn every conversation to him. (IRL when people ask me about me I usually end up turning it, within a few sentences, into a conversation about him). Back to our regularly scheduled post...
Now that I've spent the last 8 months obsessing over his recent/current affair I've come to learn (thanks to a lot of reading on SI where the Beattie book is often recommended) that I'm definitely codependent. In the past I've explained myself to others using language/rationale that was definitely describing codependent behavior but just not calling that until now.
I know that my spouse has narcissistic traits (he scores high on the NPI but is not an NPD). Narcissism + Codependents are magnets to eachother.
I pored through half of CoDependent No More this weekend and have read the workbook (read that first because I only noticed that on the shelf and had to go back for the non-workbook book.) :)
I don't thinking I'm looking for anything from this post other than sort of using it as a journal entry. I just need to keep reading, keep focusing on me, and keep trudging along.
I just found this ICR thread this morning so tonight I'll read it from the beginning.
Thanks for listening and posting your stories.
[This message edited by JustAShadow at 11:53 AM, March 25th (Monday)]
I can identify with so much you said about yourself.
In the past I've explained myself to others using language/rationale that was definitely describing codependent behavior but just not calling that until now
This was so me when I was young. Do you ever wonder how many people looked at you while you were on your rant just knowing how co-dependent we were?
I have REALLY been working hard to break my behaviors. My father died an alcoholic when I was 10. My mother passed away when I was 6 of breast cancer. I look back at so many dysfunctional issues going on in my family that it's a wonder I have made it this far.
Breaking these behaviors has been one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. Living with a sex addict and an emotional abuser was a cake walk compared to actually stopping the need to take care of someone's emotions AND their livelihood.
Good luck on your journey. Keep posting.
Too many Ddays to count. Enough said!
Has anyone heard of Peter Gurlach? His website is called breaking the cycle and he has over 100 youtube videos. He gives free lessons to help. The site is difficult to navigate, but once you get the hang of it, it's fantastic. He 'gets it' and gives so much of his time for free.
Yeah, I just found out that in addition to his numerous faults, my xWH is also an addict who is relying on me to reappear in his life so I can fix it.
We can't let these dogs drag us into a nightmare of their own making just because we have a codependency problem. We didn't make them be unfaithful bastards, and we sure as shit didn't make them addicts. The only thing we should feel guilty about is wasting time on ungrateful pigs.

I stayed years with you, no one knows (but I want them to).

Part of breaking out is finding your true core self and living THAT life, being THAT person. Learning how to truly give with no expectations, give, stop and back away. Not expecting anything in return. Not expecting them to "take you up on it" and then "don't" and end up getting your feelings hurt and not feeling loved. Learn to stop "smothering" the people in your life trying to find that love you THINK you need.
Only when you love yourself, respect yourself and nurture yourself can you get out of the co-dependent trap.
It's difficult, it's focusing on you and your actions and making that change.
I am Sagittarius01, and I am an Co-Dependent.
I am actually relieved to find myself "self-diagnosed". Now I can learn and research into my issues. My co-de issues stem from my childhood. Both of my parents were alcoholics and I became the caretaker of my younger brother who unfortunately has severe anger issues from said childood. Growing up, it was very hard. Although, I brushed my own feelings aside to please others, it quickly became extremely hard to say no.
Now, I'm in a downward spiral of a relationship with my significant other, who probably has some Co-De issues of his own due to FOO issues, also add a dash of anger management and a pinch of NPD makes the ultimate "Can't help but look at the head on collision about to happen" situation. Right now, I am listening to YouTube videos and 9 out of 10 steps of what a Co-De is, I am. I am obsessed with my S/O, I don't want him to leave. I endure such emotional and physical abuse but I stay. Why? I keep telling myself I need to change to make it better for him. If I only crawl out of my shell, he will stay. Right now, I feel so defeated. I constantly walk on eggshells around him as to not upset him. I put him on such a high pedestal I disregard my own feelings. He is such a manipulator that every arguement is all my fault. I admit that I put on a fake smile every single day because I'm too ashamed to admit I'm being emotinally and physically abused at home.
I am suchs a mess I am just rambling and not making any sense at all. I'm going to go cry now.

Expert-reviewed information summary about the treatment of ovarian low-malignant potential tumors.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumors have abnormal cells that may become cancer, but usually do not. This disease usually remains in the ovary. When disease is found in one ovary, the other ovary should also be checked carefully for signs of disease.
The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries make eggs and female hormones. Anatomy of the female reproductive system. The organs in the female reproductive system include the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.
Early ovarian low malignant potential tumor may not cause any symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they may include the following:
These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. If the symptoms get worse or do not go away on their own, check with your doctor.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
Patients with ovarian low malignant potential tumors have a good prognosis, especially when the tumor is found early.
The process used to find out whether abnormal cells have spread within the ovary or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment. Certain tests or procedures are used for staging. Staging laparotomy (a surgical incision made in the wall of the abdomen to remove ovarian tissue) may be used. Most patients are diagnosed with stage I disease.
In stage I, the tumor is found in one or both ovaries. Stage I is divided into stage IA, stage IB, and stage IC.
In stage II, the tumor is found in one or both ovaries and has spread into other areas of the pelvis. Stage II is divided into stage IIA, stage IIB, and stage IIC.
In stage III, the tumor is found in one or both ovaries and has spread outside the pelvis to other parts of the abdomen and/or nearby lymph nodes. Stage III is divided into stage IIIA, stage IIIB, and stage IIIC.
The spread of tumor cells to the surface of the liver is also considered stage III disease.
In stage IV, tumor cells have spread beyond the abdomen to other parts of the body, such as the lungs or tissue inside the liver.
Tumor cells in the fluid around the lungs is also considered stage IV disease.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumors almost never reach stage IV.
Ovarian low malignant potential tumors may recur (come back) after they have been treated. The tumors may come back in the other ovary or in other parts of the body.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with ovarian low malignant potential tumor. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer, tumors, and related conditions. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
The type of surgery (removing the tumor in an operation) depends on the size and spread of the tumor and the womanâs plans for having children. Surgery may include the following:
Even if the doctor removes all disease that can be seen at the time of the operation, the patient may be given chemotherapy after surgery to kill any tumor cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the tumor will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body ( systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas ( regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the medical research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for disease are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way diseases will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose disease has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop a disease from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's clinical trials database.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the disease may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the disease has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some stages, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.
Surgery is the standard treatment for early stage ovarian low malignant potential tumor. The type of surgery usually depends on whether a woman plans to have children.
For women who plan to have children, surgery is either:
To prevent recurrence of disease, most doctors recommend surgery to remove the remaining ovarian tissue when a woman no longer plans to have children.
For women who do not plan to have children, treatment may be hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Term life insurance offers a safety net as college costs—
and family burdens—rise
October 5, 2009
By Penni Sue Schaefer
Mark and Linda Caldwell, ERIE Customers
It's no secret: the cost of higher education is staggering. And it continues to rise.
According to CollegeBoard.com, the average cost to attend a private four-year college topped $25,000 per year—up 6 percent in 2008–09. Students at public schools paid less, but the rate of increase over the previous year was higher at 6.4 percent.
The financial impact—and implications—are often only fully realized once parents begin co-signing student loans, according to financial experts.
That was the case for Mark and Linda Caldwell of Fairview, Pa. The couple had witnessed the rise in costs as they began the journey to send three children
through college.
"It hit Mark one day, and he looked at me and said, 'Gee, you know, if something were to happen to our kids, we would be responsible for all of the loans,'" Linda recalls.
Around the same time, the Caldwells faced some added family responsibilities. When the last of their three children went off to college, Linda's father and aunt,
who both required medical care, moved in. So, the risks of financial burden
weighed even heavier on the couple.
That realization led them to contact their ERIE Agent at Great Lakes Insurance Associates in Erie, Pa. The solution—a term life insurance policy for each child—helped ease the couple's worry in the short run and provided an option to their children for continued coverage as adults.
Steven Weisbart, Ph.D., senior vice president and chief economist of the Insurance Information Institute (III), acknowledges that many parents are uncomfortable
thinking about the "what ifs" that can lead them to consider a term life policy in
such a situation. But doing so can offer additional benefits.
"Inexpensive term life policies can serve more than one purpose," notes the economist. "If parents purchase a policy for a child at college, the child, once graduated, has the option to convert the term policy to a whole life or universal
life policy that builds cash value.
"Parents may also choose to turn the policy over to the child later as a gift," he adds, "arguably, a very nice one."
For Mark and Linda Caldwell, the added financial protection may also impress on their children the importance of planning for security.
"Parents are supposed to be responsible for their kids, and that surely doesn't end when they go off to college," Linda says. "We bought the policies for our financial protection, but also for theirs. It feels good knowing it's there."
If you have questions about how life insurance can help address this need or others, give your ERIE Agent a call.

Can BYOD Bury the Hatchet Between IT and Business?
BYOD can wreak havoc on the tenuous relationship between IT and the business. But networking giant Cisco, which has a sophisticated BYOD plan for employees, is hoping more reasonable BYOD policies that permit personal cloud services will help bridge the gap.
Tue, November 06, 2012
In the last 18 months, Cisco has witnessed some 13,000 iPads enter its "Bring Your Own Device" program—and this is just the beginning.
Once iPads connect more easily to projectors, and the App Store gains better content-creation software, BYOD floodgates will burst open, according to Sheila Jordan, senior vice president of communication and collaboration IT at Cisco.
"It is on our roadmap to figure out the strategy of PCs and Macs over time," Jordan says. "As the progression of iPads become more enterprise friendly, we will be looking for them to replace a PC or Mac [for certain employees]. Right now, they don't, but I think they will."
All signs point to 2013 as a big year for BYOD, especially tablets and the enterprise apps that run on them. The pressure is on CIOs to get in front of this technology trend before it steamrolls IT departments and puts corporate data at risk. Part of this process will be to redefine the IT-business relationship.
Gartner predicts BYOD will become the top technology trend for 2013, with mobile devices surpassing PCs as the most common Web access tool. There is much at stake with BYOD, too, from a security perspective. Gartner says employee-owned devices will be compromised by malware at more than double the rate of corporate-owned devices through 2014.
Slideshow: 10 Coolest Tech Devices to Bring to Work
CIOs have a lot of work to do to get ready for BYOD. Just ask Cisco, which has seen BYOD take off within the company. Cisco now supports some 60,000 BYOD smartphones, in addition to BYOD iPads. The company has been busy creating an enterprise app store, as well as tools for automating and provisioning apps, and a social tool to help employees transition to a BYOD mandate.
All tallied, Cisco has developed an elaborate multi-step plan for BYOD, which covers everything from creating a BYOD policy to renegotiating with service providers to proactively communicating with employees about new consumer products.
If you think the relationship between IT and business has been rocky in the past, BYOD will surely test the relationship further. Surveys show that companies with no formal BYOD policy likely already have rogue employee-owned smartphones and tablets tapping into the corporate networks.
Even business units are going rogue and developing apps for BYOD behind IT's back. Mobile device management vendor MobileIron related the story of an IT department at a big healthcare provider that thought it had three mobile apps in its consumer-tech environment, only to find more than 60.
