The most basic exam can prove to be the most difficult of challenges in your day if you've ever had an uncooperative child. Depending on the age of your patient, different approaches can be made.
Before the patient and/or parent arrives in the room, you should have all equipment set up in advance. Make sure to have an extra lead apron for a parent if they wish to remain in the room with the child. I always like to encourage this except when the physical presence of the parent seems to make the child more combative.
You should always attempt the exam without immobilization first. This doesn't mean you need to make a bad exposure. Use your judgement about the quality of your radiograph before you commit to the attempt. Better to try unsuccessfully without a radiation dose than to settle on a sub-par quality film and end up repeating anyways. Be sure to communicate with the parent about immobilization techniques and requirements of the procedure. This may encourage better parent participation because they just want to get it over with to minimize any emotionally traumatic experience the child may have to endure (i.e. the pigg-o-stat). Don't forget to ask the mother if there's a possibility she could be pregnant before letting her assist.
The table-top attempt:
Place an 8x10 or 10x12 cassette in a grid holder at one end of the table. At the other end, align the x-ray tube horizontally to the cassette. Consider placing a sheet over the cassette so the patient will not be startled because of its ice-cold tempurature. Have mom or dad put the lead on and have a small lead apron for the patient (a thyriod shield will work on small patients). You should already have a preliminary technique set up for the AP chest. Place the patient's back against the cassette and the shield over their lap. Mom or dad can hold the arms to the side, grasping mid-humerus, and making sure to keep the child's back flat against the cassette.
For the lateral, simply rotate the patient's legs to their left 90 degrees. Have a parent stand in front of the patient and grasp the arms at the elbows bringing them together to touch in front of the face, also ensuring proper elevation above the thorax. I typically like to increase the kV by 10% and double my mAs from the AP to the lateral, but everyone has a different rule of thumb.
At three years old, the pediatric patient may be too large for the pig-o-stat. If they are somewhat cooperative, you may be able to provide a foot-stool and stand them at the upright bucky. Most will not be able to perform a PA projection because they are trying to see all of the equipment and may be a little frightened to turn their back. I worked at a facility where we put a rather large "Shrek" sticker on the bottom of the x-ray tube to give them something familiar to look at for the AP projection. Another sticker was placed on the wall directly in front of them when they were in the left lateral position. All we said was "look at Shrek" and they cooperated, but you better be on the rotor because it didn't last more than a few seconds.
The pigg-o-stat:
If you have an absolutely uncooperative patient that requires immobilization, the pigg-o-stat is the method of choice for radiographers. Most come with different sized adjustable flanks and you may want to sneak a peak at your patient before bringing them into the room to estimate the appropriate size.
If you've never used one or seen one, they look like some sort of dark-age torture device, which they could easily turn into if you let the patient sit in them too long. You simply place them into the seat with arms above their head and close the flanks. Make sure to lock them in place. If you have all of this set up in advance, the patient should be in and out in just a few seconds.

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX/CNN) - Authorities at a border crossing into Mexico discover more than stain fighting power in one man's laundry detergent box.
They found approximately $52,000 in cash in vacuum sealed plastic bags.
Border patrol agents arrested 36-year-old Edgar Lopez Chavez, a citizen of Mexico, at the Bridge of the Americas crossing.
He was heading into Mexico.
Now Chavez is being held in the El Paso County jail without bond, facing federal prosecution.
According to U.S. law, individuals are allowed to carry any amount of currency in and out of the United States.
But if it's over $10,000 it has to be cleared by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Chapter : | Introduction |
From failure stems lack, desire, backtracking, and renewal. Castro celebrates authenticity in writing as 'the freedom to fail absolutely' ('Lesions' 201). In his essay 'Necessary Idiocy…and the Idea of Freedom', he writes: 'I prefer to see failure as the x-ray of writing, as that which exists, more than anything else, as the memory of death, as the end of the limit of presence and the beginning of possibility' (Looking 33). Death, absence, and the possibilities of imagination and language are central concerns of Castro's writing, and he is aware that language is always an inadequate tool for expressing experience, particularly the melancholic experience of loss.
The relationship between language, nothingness, and death that sits at the heart of Castro's writing is a relationship described by the French writer Maurice Blanchot when he notes: 'Language can only begin with the void; no fullness, no certainty can ever speak; something essential is lacking in anyone who expresses himself. Negation is tied to language. When I first begin, I do not speak in order to say something, rather a nothing demands to speak, nothing speaks, nothing finds its being in speech and the being of speech is nothing' ('Literature and the Right to Death' 381). This study uses elements of Blanchot's theory to unpack some of Castro's concerns. It also looks to the work of the modernist writers identified at the outset, writers such as Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, Walter Benjamin, Stephen Mallarmé, Charles Baudelaire, W. G. Sebald, Vladimir Nabokov and theorists such as Wolfgang Iser, Frederick Jameson, Paul de Man, Mark C. Taylor, Gilles Deleuze, and Félix Guattari and discusses how their work may have influenced Castro's imaginative practice and philosophy. The beauty of Castro's writing is that it is so densely layered, so multifaceted, that it sustains multiple readings.
This study focuses on the operation of language in Castro's eight published novels. It is not my intention to identify critical and creative sources in some kind of 'Aha!' gesture that would seek to offer a concrete explanation of the texts. Rather this study endeavours to open up rhizomatic connections between Castro's work and the multitude of texts and theorists that influence it and with whom it converses.

Congress Reaches Dairy Deal
By: Patrick Schurr
Updated: December 31, 2012
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The price for a gallon of milk won't go up as many feared.
U.S. Congressional leaders announced Sunday they reached a deal to extend the 2008 Farm Bill for at least one more year. That will allow dairy farmers to continue receiving financial support from the government.
If the funding had ended, U.S. Agriculture Sec. Tom Vilsack said Americans could have been forced to pay as much as $7 a gallon of milk.

Who Clears Marlborough's Snowy Sidewalks?
A reader asked about the city's rules related to sidewalk-shoveling, particularly when said sidewalks are where children wait for the bus.
A reader recently asked us the following question: "What happens when homeowners don't clear their sidewalks, more than 24 hours after a snow storm, and their sidewalks happen to be a bus stop for elementary school students?"
The short answer: Sidewalks must be cleared by the property owner within 12 hours after the flakes stop flying.
The longer answer: According to Pamela Wilderman, the City's Code Enforcement Officer, it is the responsibility of the owner, tenant or caretaker of a property that abuts a sidewalk to clear that sidewalk. If it is not cleared in a timely fashion a $50 fine could be levied.
The sidewalk must be cleared within 12 hours of the snow stopping during the day time, or by noon the next day if the snow ends overnight, she said.
"Somebody has got to be responsible for keeping it clear," said Wilderman who explained it is extremely important to get this cleared after this storm before school starts on Monday. "It is really important that whenever possible you try to clear off the snow as quickly as you can."
Additional problems come when snow plows clear driveways, leaving piles blocking the sidewalk. This is something that people can address with their snow plow driver, said Wilderman.

Tell this to the plows that clear my street and leave a mountain of snow on the corner at our school bus stop. It's my property and my responsibility but impossible to clear in big storms.even with my snow blower. And my kid uses that bus stop.
Damon Michaels
2:17 pm on Friday, February 8, 2013
Similar situation here. The sheer volume of snow placed on my property by the city is astounding. I also recall the rule mentioning "natural snow", which means you would not be responsible for snow deposited by a snow plow as that is not "natural".
Heather Gould
10:39 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
There is a 4 or 6 apt. Building on the corner of our street where the bus stop is. It has never been shoveled. Who do we complain to? It's bad enough their dumpster blocks the sidewalk until I shove it back in every week.
Sam Bonacci
10:44 am on Thursday, February 7, 2013
The Code Enforcement Office's number is 508-460-3765. That is where I would start.

there is no law regarding the homeowner to be resposible for clearing snow from sidewalks in the city of Marlboro. Questions? ask counciler Clancy
Mr. C
3:59 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
There is a City Code that states; (paraphasing) It is the property owners responsibility to clear and maintain sidewalks within the boundarys of their property. The actual code can be found on a link on the City's web site.

I end up driving my kids to school after a storm because the almost 1/4 mile walk uphill is NEVER shoveled and the bus stop itself is under a mountain and a half. Obviously not being enforced in my neighborhood. I would think the school department/bus company would at least drive around to see if their assigned stops were safe after a storm. My street is so busy that we can't walk up and wait in the street.

The city can't enforce the code... they clear out some sidewalks with city vehicles, but other areas do not get cleared out. I call it geographic discrimination, and I am sure a lawsuit based on a ticket could be won (although at great expense).
I also dare them to come ticket my 80+ year old neighbors, or any of my neighbors, because none of them clear the snow from the sidewalks (I actually do, yep I am the odd duck here in my neighborhood when it comes to snow removal). Yet another useless law that should be off the books...

Ministers Saitoti, Ojode killed in chopper crash
Posted Sunday, June 10 2012 at 22:30
Kenya has been plunged into mourning after Internal Security minister George Saitoti and his assistant Joshua Orwa Ojodeh were killed in a helicopter crash in Ngong Forest.
The accident occurred on Sunday minutes after they had taken off from Wilson Airport in a new police helicopter, heading for a fundraiser in Mr Ojodeh's Ndiwa constituency.
The cause of the crash was yet to be established with eyewitnesses accounts gave graphic details of the last moments of the tragic flight that also killed two pilots—Nancy Gituanja and Luke Oyugi and bodyguards, Thomas Murimi and Joshua Tongei.
There were reports that one of the bodyguards made a distress call before the crash.
A security official told the Nation that the bodyguard called a colleague who had dropped them at the Wilson Airport saying the plane had developed mechanical problems and they were returning.
But the Commandant of Kenya Police Air-wing, Mr Rogers Mbithi, said the pilots did not alert the control tower that they were experiencing any problems.
However, he said the single-engine helicopter could have developed mechanical problems given the eyewitness accounts of the last moments to the tragedy at Kibiko A in Ngong Forest.
Eyewitnesses described a horror scene of a ball of smoke and fire falling down from the skies. (SEE IN PICTURES: Ngong helicopter crash)
"I watched the helicopter, it looked like it was burning while up in the air, a few minutes later we heard a loud bang and we rushed to the scene to find the wreckage and the bodies," said Mr Elijah Mucheru, who was among the first people at the scene.
Mr Julius Mochai, another witness, said they tried in vain to put out the fire. "The problem started while it was up in the air, I could see smoke from it even before it crashed.
"After the crash, we tried to put out the fire using soil but after every few minutes an explosion would occur and people would run away for safety, making it difficult to put it out," said Mr Mochai.
The explosions are suspected to have been from a bodyguard's pistol recovered at the scene. Prof Saitoti and Mr Ojodeh were flying to Nyarongi Catholic Church in Ndhiwa District in South Nyanza for a harambee (fundraising).
The money they were to contribute at the fundraiser was among personal effects that lay close to their bodies.
The accident scene was littered with burnt and mangled parts of the police helicopter while the bodies lay scattered within the crash site and the thicket. Soot from the smoke covered the nearby trees.
Police had a hard time controlling wananchi (citizens) from the scene until rescue team removed the bodies wrapped in grey bags.
A sombre mood engulfed Ngong town as Prof Saitoti's Kajiado North MP constituents discussed the accident, while bodaboda cyclists ferried curious people to the site in droves.
Ngong area has been prone to incidents of national magnitude with former Agriculture minister Bruce Mackenzie having died in a plane accident in Ngong hills in 1970s while fiery legislator JM Kariuki was also found killed and dumped in the area in 1975.
The accident occurred exactly four years after former Public Works minister Kipkalya Kones and Bomet MP Lorna Laboso died in a plane crash. Pathologists are expected to conduct DNA tests to identify the victims.

I just Quit my Job yesterday...
Not exactly the best thing to do in a recession but thankfully it was my Job #2 soo it just cuts into my savings.
Yesterday at around 5:30 my Manager asked me if I planned on " Combing or knotting" my hair.
I told him " No, this is how it grows"
He said "So you don't plan on combing or knotting it then?"
I said " Its how it grows ...No"
So he said " You have to wear a cap ...your hair is UNACCEPTABLE like that"
in my mind I was just gonna finish my shift and dip the fuck out for good since I had literally just came in
It wasn't until he actually brought me a cap to replace my visor that I couldn't take it and Quit on the spot
As a women with a few punk roots I've had every color under the sun at many establishments thanks to extensions.
Now that I just wanna see what GOD wants to grow... I have to go through that kind of treatment.
12-20-12 is officially the day I saw real racism ....not just hating me because I'm black (since he was black) but hating the only other feature of pride, besides my color, that is uniquely African and proving what people have been suspecting since the invention of the perm. You can't truly be black and proud in America ...
You can't simply let this happen beautiful people...If you're still treating your hair or adding in any extensions/weaving then stop...please just do yourself a favor and stop. Love you for you because you come from a race of lost people and the things that we see as normal just aren't
That's what's up. I'm glad you told him where to shove that job. And this comin from a black man? That's a damn shame. It sucks that here we are in the 21st century and wearing our hair in it's natural form is still seen as a revolutionary act(!) amongst our own damn people no less let alone white folks. Some of them love OUR hair more than we do! It's 2012! This is utter insanity. I don't have anything against sistas that perm and whatnot but I see the pattern. Most black woman do go natural but that's after they are forced to do it after years of damaging their hair. Why are we still putting ourselves through this? Most brothers gotta have their hair clipped low to appear "presentable" in certain jobs. And then you a have blonde straight haired Nicki Minaj running around with this "barbie" movement calling other black women nappy headed hoes and tellin them they need to get a perm. I really wouldn't care about her but the fact that she has a large fanbase of impressionable young black girls that hang on her every word makes me sick to me stomach. Then this skin bleaching crap is outta contol in africa and the carribean. It's disheartning. Will we EVER love ourselves?
GET EM girl!...Joshua10:24
To Kifaru and Logun - Its really not about the money...if it was i would have just stayed and did what they asked.Its about the fact that it even came up as a issue.
@ Polarvibez - Its a hard as world out here just to love you...You can't even grow without learning to love you as you and there's still 80 yr old women getting perms like its going out of business. Black people fund the billion dollar "Hair shops" just so they can imitate. Black men are made to look like slaves and therefore act like slaves with low cuts. Is it by chance that when you go into a prison system or military system the first thing you have to do is cut off all of your hair. NATURAL shouldn't even be the minority option that it is....our hair just grows ...JUST grows into dreads.
ندرى ليتل - Its nothing but the truth ...right now there's a giant foot on our necks and it needs to change
You should have just got fired. If you can prove you were singled out due to ethnicity that is a law suit which many a person have won in the past.
@Syzhorra Shand Unlike others above I am not recommending a lawsuit for monetary reasons. I am recommending it because it is the right thing to do so that the next girl doesn't have to put up with the same shit.
Things only change when appropriate pressure is applied. Lawsuits provide that pressure.
I can't believe it's 2012 and people are still on dumb shit like this when there is SO MUCH MORE to focus on. It could possibly be justified it if it were an instance of you working around food, but the suggestion of "combing or knotting" pretty much throws that out of the window.
I agree with Jordana, you should have let him fire you or ask to see where it states you must comb/knot/perm/finger wave/s curl/soul glo/straight iron/tire iron your hair before coming into work and then tag him for harassment. Hindsight though, what can we do.
Glad I work for myself though, if I make dick moves I can just kick my own ass. ..I still want Frederick Douglass' hair D:
Kudos to you!! That is beyond disappointing coming from a brother.
maybe file a harassment complaint? at least the guy will be reprimanded.

Good quality product to have your shop, nuff said!
Very nice piece of bone with a vintage color
I have never found a soft spot or different density in the unbleached bone nuts from StewMac. Great quality and I appreciate that StewMac offers a discount on quantity purchases of these blanks. Thanks StewMac
Used to make my own out of dog bones, I liked it but the dog didn't. This is a lot easier as I don't have to scour the yard wondering where they were buried. As always, good products at fair prices and lightning fast shipping.
Needed a blank so I could fashion a non-standard dimension nut for an off-brand guitar. Blank arrived quickly and was of uniform density and color. Can't ask for more than that!
Easy to work with. Works well on dulcimers and mandolins
Good quality blanks. Hardness seems well distributed and I've never had one cut too small from the factory. I will continue using these on projects as needed. Exactly what I expect to get every time.
Great quality. Good value.
Always a nice consistant piece of bone. Looks great when polished up and is the best way to upgrade a less expensive instrument.
Early 70,s SG-II project. Original nut was shot. The unbleached bone nut from Stewart MacDonald was the perfect replacement that gave me the look I wanted.

DURHAM, NC – Four UNC Greensboro track athletes set school records to highlight the Spartans effort at the Duke Invitational this weekend at Wallace Wade Stadium.
Jeff Williams shaved just over one second off his own school record with a 14th place finish in the 800 meters event. Williams set the old record last April 16 at the Carolina Fast Times meet in Chapel Hill with a time of 1:52.64.
Jess Weber set a record on the women's side in the 800m with a time of 2:18.93 to place 10th in the event. The old record was 2:18.99, which was set by Eleanor Wilson at the Southern Conference Championship on April 18, 2003.

*Be careful who you call nasty words in-game*
Played against a clan in KC and beat them by 6 tags. Know they keep spamming our clan board acting like kids.
You can set your clan page so that only members can make comments.
they should remove the report option people can do it for no reason and with no proof, yeh there a lot of arses out there who deserve to be banned but there also 1s who don't
they can report them and if they have done nothing wrong. if reported enough they get investigated and if something is wrong they will be banned. there are no mistakes in the banning system. every ban given is well "earned"
Looks like another abuse of power...
Happens a lot it seems.
Uh, swearing in online games is technically against the TOS, and when the XBLPET team hears them, thats enough to warrant a ban.
@CHRISSY We need report in game to cut down on the boosters. They review every report, and dont ban without proof of breaking the rules.
Prove that he was "swearing"...
They cant. They can just suspend him because they are mad he beat them...
Not saying that's what happened. But think about it...
People DO get suspended for no reason...
They were in the freaky game with him....please go re-read the thread.
Still doesnt prove he was doing anything wrong.
So the Xbox Live Support team was in the same lobby as the player and he was banned for language doesn't count for anything? Wow you are dense.
Just becaus they say it happend dosent mean it did...
I can say you keyed my car. Does that mean that you did?
You sir aren't very bright. The XBLPET's don't just play games for the fun of it. The only reason the were in the game was because the said player had been reported several times. There was no mistaked in than ban. He was not banned because he beat them. He was banned for exactly the reason the stated. In fact he wasn;t even banned he just had is mic privilegs removed for a few weeks. If they say it happened then it happened.
How do you think they enforce the "no swearing" rules as per the TOS for XBL? If you recieve too many reports for foul language they have someone from XBL PET jump into your game and play with you and listen in on what you are saying. If you are deemed to be using launguage unsuitable for XBL play, you can get a ban.
Do you honestly believe people get banned for no reason? Ive been playing on XBL for the better part of 6 years, and never had any bans, or warnings, etc. They ban people who deserve it.
I know they ban for no reason...
Personal experience from RB6V.
The guy told me he worked for xbox & he was going to have me suspended.
Why? Because my team kept destroying him & anyone he brought into the game.
Guess what, next day I had a 3 day ban. Didn't get an email telling me why(witch you always receive).
Did have a message from him thou when I got back on...
No I'm not saying this happens all the time BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
well they curs in the actual game so who cares the game is rated M anyway and online is unrated for a reason!
They can prove he swearing. Use a pvr it will record everyones voice except yours in a game. Not to mention technology can do amazing things.
sounds like the PET is abusing their power
the game is for mature audiences and has profanity IN THE GAME ITSELF. if you can't take a little trash talk, however profane, maybe check out Beautiful Katamari or Shrek.
If it's against the ToS, they don't have to "take" even the slightest bit of it. There's no abuse of power if you're enforcing rules...
i understand. but i think we both know why they got the chat disabled.
being on the PET doesn't give you an anger protector. you get beat, you get mad

The reason they were in the game was not to be play. The whole reason they were in his game was to investigated him. The could care less if the win or lose. It's not their job to win or even play. Just to enforce the rules.
You need to review the ToS and CoC for Xbox live.
B. Don't do the following.
Judging from the TOS bit in red up there, I'd say at least half to two-thirds of all MW3 gamertags are in violation. FTLOL
All I have to say is this is an 18 game is it not and if you dont like swearing thats why there is a mute option. I think they are spending more time catching boosters/cheats than banning someone coz they rage at a computer game.
Its only 18 to buy not play...You need to talk to the parents...
I'm sure his ban was warranted. I can't believe I haven't been chat banned yet. I've only gotten 2 bans within like 3 days of eachother. The first one was warranted, as I had asterisks in my Bio that could've been misinterpreted as profanity. The second ban was complete bunk. My Bio said "I'm Freaking Furry", and the xblpet told me that the word "freaking" was blatantly sexual, which it isn't.
Perhaps the whole match was set-up to determine voice behaviour based on prior reports? What appeared to be rage quit might have been PET team just verifying and then bailing.
Its only voice mute for a while though, at least you aren't suspended from LIVE, which would be worse IMO.
Actually the game is rated M (17+). Online is ***not*** rated. No games online is due to voice chat.
Because there is cursing in the game, does that give me the right to start cursing at people in the lobby? Saying racist or offensive terms? Does it happen? Sure. I can take it and laugh at it. However, it still doesn't give me the right to start cursing people out. What do you say then? Sorry dude, its rated M, deal with it. Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD.
Im in UK its rated 18.But the point really was that the game is ment to be for the MATURE gamer that should no better lol .If there is an idiot in the lobby I hit mute.
Just because everyone playing the game should be mature doesnt mean they are...Also, if its against the TOS and you do it, and they catch you in the act, you're toast. Personally I only report if racist things are said. Those are the only things that really offend me. Other than that its mute, avoid.

100% agree. I do the same. However, I would tend to think that MATURE people would use discression when they open their mouths though. Fred Durst is god knows how old now, but certainly over 18, and I would think he has the maturity of a 10 year old because he feels the need to say f*** 100 times in his songs.
Yeah, 10 year old referance, but the best one I could think of. rofl
apparently people think there is a conspiracy when it comes to people getting banned. if you people read the TOS/COC you will see that it is indeed against the rules to say such language. if it wasnt, then dont you idiots think that there would not be an option to file a complaint on said person for communication? you can literally go to their profile>file complaint>text and voice communications>in-game voice>file complaint. get enough people to file legit complaints on you and they WILL join your games and if it is warrented, they WILL ban you for the offense of which you were reported for.
there is no conspiracy and they dont ban you for no reason.

Check my post above. Sometimes they do. It's rare, but it happens.
i did read it. but did YOU read in the TOS that you cant use any words that are also "suggestive" meaning it is open to the readers interpretation of what the reader may think think you are trying to say? and saying you are "freaking furry" is suggestive. i dont think i need to explain why.
So if a friend of mine has "I'm Freaking Awesome" in his bio, he deserves to be banned too? The word "freaking" isn't always sexual in nature.
I agree with this. MS does not ban you because you beat them in game. If you got banned it's your "reward" per se.
without knowing all the details i can't say that they weren't banned for gamertags
but if the ban was specifically FROM VOICE CHAT and not from XBL completely, i'm guessing they were trash talking
BIG DEAL. yes, the TOS say you are not allowed to use profane or aggressive language with other players.
That being said, think of the cops. If you're friendly to a cop who pulls you over for speeding you may get off with a warning. If you tell him to GFY, <insert slur/insult> then he's probably not going to be so lenient.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to play in a community where everything I say is censored or at risk of putting a restriction on my account.
I've cursed and talked trash and get a fair amount of it back. So what. I'm an adult and can take it. If someone is overly annoying or offensive, I mute them and move on. It is not a big deal.
I still say the PET got beat and is still mad about it. Oh well, life goes on

My guess if is that this kid wasn't doing a little cursing. It had to be extreme for his mic to get muted for 2 weeks. As to the PET's getting beat and being mad. Think of it this way. They were not in that game to play. Just to investigate him.
Like I posted previously, I only report if people they are repeatedly using racist remarks. Other than that muting is there for a reason. Thats the great thing. Once I mute them, no more aggressive, shouting, mad people.
you basically signed that right into restriction when you signed up for XBL. you signed a legal document stating that you would not do whatever you would be banned for. if you were to break that as did the person who posted that comment, then they have every right to voice ban you as they see fit. the online community is NOT rated by the ESRB so it is up to the XBLET to patrol and do whatever they need to do in order to keep it a nice and friendly environment.
they dont care about your first amendment rights on here. as i have said before you signed that right into restriction when you signed up for the service and you now have to play by THEIR rules. failure to do so will result in what happened to the poster in that link.
and as Redsniper said earlier, they dont care about playing the game. they only join those games for 1 purpose and 1 purpose only, and that is to follow up on any complaints made by users on a certain other user for whatever reason.

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
President Obama maintains a lead in Colorado, but voters now have a better impression of Mitt Romney than they did before Wednesday night's debate, according to a new poll by the University of Denver.
According to the poll, Obama's lead among likely voters is 47-43, within the margin of error. His lead among independent voters is more substantial, 48-31.
Thirty-eight percent of responders said they have an improved impression of Romney after the debate, which Colorado voters said he won by a large margin, 68-19. Eighteen percent said their view of Obama improved.
University of Denver political science professor Peter Hanson said that the polls indicate that there are "very few undecided voters left in Colorado," with only 6 percent saying they could be persuaded to vote for another candidate. Eighty-eight percent have their minds made up, and 5 percent of responders say they don't favor either candidate.
Hanson said among undecided voters, Romney has improved his chances of winning them over since the debate, based on poll results.
When asked to describe why they would vote for their candidate, 67 percent of Obama supporters and 71 percent of Romney supporters said they believe their candidate is the best person for the job. Thirty-one percent of Obama supporters say out of the two, Obama is the one they can most easily live with; 27 percent of Romney supporters say the same.
The poll was conducted on October 4 and 5 by phone with 604 Coloradans of voting age. Only likely voters were surveyed. Respondents were contacted on both landlines and cell phones.

Glorantha at sea?
December 10, 2003, 05:56:22 PM »
I'm still reading the rules to heroquest, but I've already decided that "me likey". So at times when I can't read the rules (work is so pesky), I've been thinking about campaigns. One thing I've always wanted to do, and been reminded by Master & Commander (read the books, too), is a sea campaign.
Anyways, long ramble for a short question - if you were just starting out with Glorantha, and were going to run a campaign centered on the ocean, where would you start it?

Good question. I'd retrace the voyages of Dormal.
He opened the oceans and is revered as a hero or god by many cultures in Glorantha. He also traveled extensively, starting in the Holy Country. All you need is a good reason for doing it, and a nefarious enemy (or three) trying to stop you. This is where you need to play a little fast and loose with Gloranthan history and myth, but of cousre that's what the Hero Wars are all about!
Perhaps the adventurers are trying to recover an artifact of Dormals that was lost during his voyages, or to rediscover some secret of his that was lots. Perhaps there have been visions sent by Dormal that somethign terrible will happen unless a great ritual is performed and only by retracing his voyage can all the elements of the ritual be discovered. You need his Compass, his Rutter (log book), the net he used to catch a magical fish, etc.
Of course there are others trying to beat you to it, some perhaps for chivalrous reasons, but others in order to foil or pervert the ritual. Undoubtedly the Vadeli will have some vile reason for wanting to scupper your plans.
Sorry it's such a bare skeleton of an idea, but Dormal isn't one of my special interests.

Simon has mentioned Dormal and there are the great dragonships of the Waertagi from before the closing. In Sog City there is a cult of the Ship and City which preaches the return of a least one. I've seen some information on the web extracted from the University of Sog City Conference Guide which is out of print although 2nd hand copies turn up sometimes. The setting most easily available though is the Wolf Pirates and the cult of Ygg which is on Issaries web site. There's other stuff on the web and in the Glorantha digest archives but it might be difficult for a beginner to fit into the rules.

Taking inspiration from
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
, how about a game based on a journey to the Uttermost West of Glorantha? There would be islands for almost any situation the narrator wanted to introduce, and I think you could do interesting things with shipboard relationships and HQ mechanics. The game begins when the ship leaves port and ends--who knows where?

A number of possibilities present themselves, several of which have been touched on already. Another two are:
[*] A game set in Glorantha's Second Age centered around the Jrusteli Empire (aka the Middle Sea Empire) would be ideal if you want Wizardry to be the most common form of magic. David Dunham ran just this sort of campaign during the
Hero Wars
playtest and described the major settlements on the isle of Jrustela
. There is plenty of information on the Web. Google searches on the terms
Middle Sea Empire
God Learners
should turn up quite a bit of information.
[*] The East Isles are another perfectly splendid place to set a campaign. The "Ten Thousand Islands of Wonder" allow for considerable narrator freedom to create his own cultures without fear of being contradicted by canon. While there is some material about specific islands and island confederations (Haragala,
, Golden Mokato, Vormain), the majority remains "undiscovered". I would suggest picking up a pair of of Greg's "Pre-finished Works":
Missing Lands
Revealed Mythologies
. Many previously unknown details about Glorantha's oceans and the religions of East, West and South will be found within. Also, Nils Weinander wrote up the Korolan Isles above, is one of the authorities on the East Isles, and also is one of the webmasters for Issaries. Run this
Google search
and you are bound to come across all manner of goodies.
In fact, I was just commenting earlier today to an acquaintance that I would like to run a swashbuckling high-seas campaign set in Glorantha, full of pirates, exotic island cultures and keets in abundance. Think of
Pirates of the Caribbean
Whale Rider
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
... and then some.

Could be either or neither--Prince Caspian is off to find seven of his father's friends who were lost at sea. Something like that would be better HQ than just a raid-and-trade mission. Perhaps the prehistoric voyage of a Vadeli mariner holds the secret to defeating the Kingdom of War. Whatever.
The East Isles would make a terrific maritime game with a Southeast Asian flavour. It could feature Kethaelan or Malkioni traders going mad in the tropics (think Somerset Maugham), or it could be all native with sampans, exotic martial arts and Vormaini pirates.
It's not the Ocean, but Felster Lake, I've always thought, could be used for some sea-going fun. A little Mediterranean campaign, slipping into court intrigue on land.

One of the Argraths - Gareth Shaprsword - circumnavigates Glorantha with Harrek the Berserk, the White Bear, and his crew of Wolf Pirates. King of Sartar gives most of the information on this. The chronology goes something like:
1621- An immense cradle containing a giant baby floats down the River of Cradles. Garreth Sharpsword leads a band of Sartarite rebels in taking the cradle before the Lunars can capture it, and piloting it down river to the ocean.
- There they meet Harrek the Beserk and a wolf pirate fleet, and embark with them on their voyage to plunder the world
- They visit Teshnos (where there appears to be a fight involving elephants); Teleos; Yanchi City; Laskal; Oenriko Rocks; Jrustela; Pithdaros; and Noloswal.
1624 - The Wolf Pirate fleet returns to Palmetela.
Probably Glorantha's greatest viking raid ;-)
Harrek is Glorantha's Conan equivalent - so lots of Conan the Buccaneer style S&S mixed with vikings and pirates seems appropriate. Ideal as a world-spanning game. You should be able to get enough out of Glorantha and from the Missing Lands 'unfinished work' to run this.
You probably want to have the heroes ship as scouts probing out ahead of the main fleet to avoid deprotagonizing your heroes. IIRC the forthecoming Masters of Luck and Death has a wolf-pirate hero band called the sea-skippers in it if you are short for inspiration. But generally a wolf-pirate hero band would be a ship. Wolf pirate ships often have a living prow, with the guardian being bound into it - so the ship becomes the groups guardian being (YGMV).
So you can definitely do this in the Hero Wars period.
i believe II is working on a Seas & Sailors book which will lead into a 'at sea' game - though dealing with later events in the Hero Wars than Harreksaga.

by the way the Wolf Pirates are of two origins: Ygg's Islanders (who are sterotypically ruthless viking - Ygg is a norse poetic name for Odin - think the Kirk Douglas movie 'The Vlkings' for details) form the core recruited by Harrek but they are supplemented by pirates drawn from everyone else in the entire world.
Yep, a character from absolutely any origin can be rationalised as a wolf pirate. Ideal huh?
In addition the RQ supplement 'Strangers in Prax' has some great Jonathan Tweet episodes with a Moby Dick flavour if you can track it down on e-bay. One key point made there is that sailors are rare. The oceans have only been open twenty years. Sailors are also mistrusted. Everyone remembers the last being sea-going empire the God Learners with hatred. The multi-culturalism of sailors, who have experienced diverse influences and ways, is considered dangerous, alien, and threatening by most of the conservative cultures of the end of the gloranthan third age.

Welcome to the Forge, Martin!

I'd be curious to see (sea?) what you have in mind. Most of my seagoing interest lays in the East Isles, Vormain and Trowjang, but I'm always up for discussing the lozenze at large. :)

I know this thread has been dormant for a while, but the next issue of Tradetalk, the German english language HQ magazine, has some articles that will be if great interest to anyone thinking of running a seaborne game set in Glorantha. It has excelent articles on Golden Kareshtu (think Ottomans/Barbary Coast), and the Kumanku islands (think idylic island archipelago conquered by the above). The article on Kumanku by Simon Bray is particularly excellent. There are articles detailing other parts of the Pamaltelan coast, and some articles I haven't seen, but IMHO these are the highlights.

text: NWSB Insider and Seattle Sports blogger Brandon Choate brings us his mid-season report card for the Seattle Mariners. The team has given fans little to be cheery about and it shows in this breakdown of the season futility. Despite the gloom, the Mariners have produced some good news-worthy items themselves. Here's to hoping they have a MUCH better second half!

bought my mini on the 18th and tried it when i got it home.inverted for just over a minute and when i got up my pain was gone. this pains been with me for a while now so i'm really impressed with how effective the inversion table was. i have a grade 4 isthmic spondylolisthesis which is pinching a nerve and causing a number of other problems. i guess that the inversion is decompressing my spine enough to give me some relief. the pain returns during work, but a couple minutes on the table when i get home is enough to give me relief. i'm going to see what my doctor thinks about using a brace during the day. i know it's going to take longer to get things corrected because i waited so long to deal with it.t over a minute and when i got up my pain was gone. this pains been with me for a while now so i'm really impressed with how after just one week i can enthusiasticly endorse the "Mastercare Mini Back-A-Traction". it's compact size makes it much more convienant for me than a full size table , but gives me all the same benefits

The parents of tragic toddler Tommy Hollis have spoken of their pain at the death of their baby son and slammed the inquest into his death.
Eleven month-old Tommy, suffered a devastating head injury when a lamp post fell on his buggy in Chiswick, west London, west London, on February 23, 2010.
Workman Kelvin Elmore had cut a metal plate supporting the lamp post five days previously, not realising what it was, the inquest at West London Coroner's Court heard.
Speaking outside West London Coroner's Court yesterday, with her husband's arm around her, Mrs Hollis said their sorrow was "compounded" by the way the inquest was conducted.
"We came here knowing it would be an extremely challenging time for us.
"However, we did not expect our upset and anguish to be compounded by what we feel was the coroner's decision to exclude from consideration questions and evidence that might lead us to better understand how our son, Tommy, was killed in February 2010.
"We feel let down that crucial witnesses were not called or declined to answer questions.
"In particular, Kelvin Elmore, who cut the plate, chose not to give evidence and explain to the court, in person, why he did what he did.
"Despite what has been reported, Mr Elmore is not an engineer.
"Also, Hounslow Borough Council, under whose control these works were carried out, have been notably absent from these proceedings.
"We would also like know why there was no engineer on site at or around the time of the cut to the lamp post when it was apparent that the job was becoming more complicated and how no one realised that the plate was connected to the lamp post despite it being so close."
A spokesman for Hounslow council said: "This was an awful tragedy and our sympathies remain with the Hollis family for the loss of their son Tommy.
"Safety is always the paramount concern. There was a suggestion during the inquest that undue pressure was placed on contractors by the council to hurry up the work. This was not supported by the whole of the evidence. We would never compromise safety by placing pressure on council officers or contractors to rush to complete work.
"It is important to finish works on time so that the public do not suffer unnecessary inconvenience, but this would never come before public safety."
