I was very hesitant to use unlocktotalk.com to unlock my cell phone but read very good reviews on them. After dealing with other places I entered all of my phone information into unlocktotalk.com's website and within an hour after verifying everything they were able to send me an unlock code. Put it in my phone and blammm I can finally use it again. Great customer service and very quick with getting you the unlock code. Highly recommend using them.

Pastor Exposed as Faithful to Wife of 17 Years
Despite the headlines, marital scandals don't define the church.
We each can name far more pastors who are faithful in their marriages than those who are not. And I suspect we would also say that it's those faithful marriages, those ordinary, daily testimonies of richer or poorer, sickness and health, for better or worse that most influence us. One marriage fails that we might... Continue Reading
You're Not a Leader if You Never Say You're Sorry
If you never apologize, at least one of the following is also true
If you never need to look at someone on your team and say, "I am sorry, but…" then you are ignoring difficult conversations that would make the person and the team stronger. If you talk about people instead of to people, you are not a good leader. If you work around deficiencies instead of confronting... Continue Reading
5 Biblical Responses to Homosexuality
How Christians can respond to the issue of homosexuality and the church.
It is not the church that is telling people today that a life without sexual fulfillment is not worth living. That is the message of our culture, not of our savior. Jesus himself came with a message to liberate us from such thinking. We have good news to share on this – very good news.... Continue Reading
Americans Are Independent But Are They Still Free?
It is evident that there is an great, an immense need to educate millions of Americans in basic civics
Americans who still believe that civil liberty is, by definition, the relative absence of governmental restraint upon the freedom of speech, the relative absence of restraint upon religious practice, the absence of prior restraint upon the press and other basic liberties (e.g., life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness relative to civil life) need to...

Remember The Pit
What's the point in going back to such a hideous and ugly place?
"Remember the hole of the pit from which you were dug" said Isaiah the prophet. It's a spiritual exercise that the Psalmist models for us in Psalm 40:1-3. Although the exact nature of the pit is not specified – it could be the pit of affliction, of persecution, of mental distress, or of family trouble... Continue Reading
Explainer: #WhoIsBurningBlackChurches
Are the church fires connected? Were they caused by hate crimes?
ATF has special agents and certified fire investigators (CFIs) from several field divisions investigating the fires to determine cause and origin. We are in the early stages of these investigations, but at this time we have no reason to believe these fires are racially motivated or related. What is the #WhoIsBurningBlackChurches story about? Since... Continue Reading
Our Unhealthy Preoccupation with Acceptance
I believe it is this clamoring for relevance and respect that is and will draw people to embrace these progressive (and errant) views of sexuality, gender and marriage.
The evangelical church in the last generation has been marked by its preoccupation with being relevant. An entire movement has been built around making Jesus and church seem relevant to outsiders. We have seen fad after fad come with intensity and go with a whisper only to become illustrations of silliness and obsolescence. The church-growth... Continue Reading
Politico: "It's Time to Legalize Polygamy"
Traditional marriage supporters have long made the case that the argument for gay marriage can also be used to advance polygamous marriage.
"While important legal and practical questions remain unresolved, with the Supreme Court's ruling and broad public support, marriage equality is here to stay. Soon, it will be time to turn the attention of social liberalism to the next horizon. Given that many of us have argued, to great effect, that deference to tradition is not... Continue Reading
America's Zero-Sum Culture, and How It's Tearing the Nation Apart
A zero-sum game is a situation where there is a finite amount of capital or benefits to be gotten and if one person or group gains, another loses.
But this contemporary zero-sum culture of winners and losers stands in sharp contrast to earlier political discourse as it was informed by religiously derived notions of divine providence, sin, tragic brokenness, grace, and humility in the face of a world that we do not fully understand. Witness Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, which, while not shying away... Continue Reading
You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Psalm Is About You
David was passionate about leading his friends to acceptably worship the Holy God
In the midst of his discomfort, David is finding comfort in the LORD, and he longs for his children and people to do so as well.

Fragile Foundation of Marriage Equality, Part 3
In the minds of "marriage equality" supporters, the discussion is over; there is one "right side of history."
Damon Linker has "made clear repeatedly" that he supports gay marriage, and yet he is "troubled by the equally stunning lack of charity, magnanimity, and tolerance displayed by many gay marriage advocates." The problem is that certain "equality" proponents "don't just want to win the legal right to marry. They don't just want most Americans... Continue Reading
A Crisis Of Existentialism
We are in the midst of an existential crisis. Not a crisis that threatens our existence, but rather a crisis of existentialism.
One might say that Existential Philosophy is diametrically opposed to Ontological Philosophy. The former gives sovereignty to perception, the latter to what is; the former gives precedence to subjective identity, the latter to inherent identity; the former emphasizes what is apparent – feelings, qualities, or the accidents – the latter emphasizes substance…. Perhaps, in no case is the... Continue Reading
A Flicker of Light In An Increasingly Dark News Feed
Shining some light on the good things God is doing in the church – to focus on what is commendable and true.
The above principles and practices are not given as a "formula" for success, though the Lord has blessed these biblical commitments in our body and I can't help but think he would do so in any congregation. My intent is to acknowledge publicly the Lord's immeasurable goodness to us undeserving sinners! And, by extension, to... Continue Reading
The Heresy of Racial Superiority — Confronting the Past, Confronting the Truth
The ideology of racial superiority is one of the saddest and most sordid evidences of the Fall
"Throughout history, racial ideologies have been driving forces of war, of social cohesion, of demagoguery, and of dictatorships. Race theory was central to the Nazi regime and was used by both sides in the Pacific theater of World War II. In that theater of the war, both the Japanese and the Americans claimed that the...

Hunger Artists In The Reality TV Age
The indiscriminate approval of every personal choice, irrespective of the harm it causes, has borne the full ethical weight of progressive politics in Western societies for decades now.
Our reality is stranger than Kafka's fiction precisely because it is no longer fiction, and no longer confined to the hunger artist. Our guardians and experts demand that we, the public, are morally obliged to give our approval to each and every authentic choice. It is a matter of human rights. The ancient Romans...

Guilt Is Not Just a Feeling
Guilt is not just a feeling, it is a legal standing
"God often creates a sense of unease in people, which then leads them to a consciousness of sin, and then a deeper sense that they are guilty before God. Then He brings them beyond mere "feelings" of guilt to confess, "I am guilty before God." As the psalmist says, "If You, LORD, should mark iniquities,... Continue Reading

How Do You Read the Bible?

Eternalizing the Old Testament
Everything in the Old Testament Scriptures is fulfilled in Jesus
"One of the most important biblical-theological matters with which we must wrestle is that of how we are to harmonize the Old Testament teaching about "everlasting" ordinances with the teaching of the apostles as to the abrogation of the command to circumcise (1 Cor. 7:19; Gal. 5:6, 11; and 6:15), the cessation of the Old...

3 Compelling Reasons Why We Must Deal With Our Sinful Anger
Why should we seek to uproot our sinful anger and replace it with godly fruit?
"First, we should deal biblically with our anger for the sake of our personal health. Long before the advent of modern medicine, the Bible described the psychosomatic (or "spirituo-somatic") connection between sin and sickness, and between righteousness and health." Why should we seek to uproot our sinful anger and replace it with godly fruit?... Continue Reading
What Are You Willing to Give Up?
The accelerated pace of the sea-change going on now in America requires some comment
"The somewhat provocative title of this post should not be seen as a call to emotional hysteria. All too often, the conversation is characterized by shrill voices on both sides of the debate, thus creating a climate where no one can listen. Evangelicals are rank with fear. Why? And what kind of fear is it?"... Continue Reading
Where Do You Stop?
If you object to the Confederate Flag, why not to Alabama's and Florida's
"If these accusers don't stop, they will be yet the latest example of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, "Earth's Holocaust," which recounts the absurd lengths to which reformers go to arrive at a perfect society or institution, so absurd that activists forget to look in the mirror because they threw it into the fire."

The Top Five Forgotten Founders
Important founders of the United States that are not well known to many
Lemuel Haynes: born in Connecticut to a white mother and black father, Haynes worked as an indentured servant prior to enlisting in the Massachusetts militia, and then the Continental Army.

Radical for Jesus a New Kind of Legalism?
Today, young adults struggle with a new form of it: the pressure to live radically for Christ.
Bradley said many Christian leaders have inadvertently encouraged the radical message by calling young people to make a difference and change the world. A growing disdain for American suburbs in favor of the inner city has also contributed as has the missional church movement, which encourages people to be missionaries in their own communities. ...

40 Questions for Christians Now Waving Rainbow Flags
Something to chew on before swallowing everything the world and Facebook put on our plate.
If you consider yourself a Bible-believing Christian, a follower of Jesus whose chief aim is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, there are important questions I hope you will consider before picking up your flag and cheering on the sexual revolution. These questions aren't meant to be snarky or merely rhetorical. They are sincere,... Continue Reading
Dear Christian Friends: Remember You Are Not Home
Christians have for centuries lived in communities that did not welcome them. However, they made it and the gospel made it.
Finally, remember that Jesus never called the church to redeem culture or create a Christian America. Our job is to glorify God by declaring and demonstrating the gospel. The church is an embassy of grace on foreign soil. And we must remember that this church has been, is being, and will be built by Jesus... Continue Reading
Since It Is God's Law…
Antinomianism downplays the law; legalism downplays the gospel.
Watson goes on to say that in a legal sense no one can obey the law because of the fall and our sinful nature. However, he notes, in a gospel sense we can obey the law. "Gospel obedience consists in a real endeavor to observe the whole moral law (Ps. 119:166):" Our triune God... Continue Reading
How Should You Talk to Your Children About Same-Sex Marriage?
How does one teach about the law and the controversy, without exposing one's children to more than they can handle?
The Bible isn't nearly as antiseptic as Christians sometimes pretend to be, and it certainly doesn't shirk back from addressing all the complexities of human life. If we are discipling our children, let's apply the Scriptures to all of life. If we refuse to talk to our children about the reality of the world they... Continue Reading

An Overivew Of the Social Environment ( #OOTSE also see blog for details)
This episode will focus on social media in the workplace. There has been a lot of press on social media use in the workplace - from its official to unofficial use for business. We will surface the current perceptions of social media in the workplace and offer a definition from a people practice and organizational culture perspective.
This will be an insightful conversation about the current organizational trends and "ownership" of social media.
We will attempt to answer the question of why People Managers and Human Resource Professionals need to build their social media digital IQ; how it can be a valuable asset for both the business and employees. We will have a healthy discussion on personal branding versus business branding and the implications of social media to the organization's culture.
My guests for this episode are:
Christine Mcleod, Chief Possibilities Officer and Founder of IMPACT99 and
Pam Ross, Chief Experience Officer, Partner of IMPACT99.

Facebook extends Parse tools to the Internet of Things
Facebook is extending its Parse developer tools to the Internet of Things, providing software and services for bringing connectivity to home appliances, fitness trackers and other objects.
Facebook is extending its Parse developer tools to the Internet of Things, providing software and services for bringing connectivity to home appliances, fitness trackers and other objects.
Facebook is extending Parse, its suite of back-end software development tools, to create Internet of Things apps for items like smart home appliances and activity trackers.
Facebook has been in discussions with nearly a half a dozen media organizations about hosting their content on the social media site, according to The New York Times.
Twitter has started to let videos play automatically in some people's feeds, in a test that could allow it to make more money from video advertising.
Facebook's Messenger app has traditionally been used for keeping in touch with friends. Now people can also use it to send each other money. In the future, it could become a platform which other apps could use, if recent rumors prove true.
Yahoo is closing its only remaining office in China and laying off between 200 and 300 employees there, news reports said on Wednesday.
Facebook has added a new feature to its advertising platform that lets marketers target people living abroad.
Users of Facebook's Messenger app will soon be able to do more than just chat with friends and send them emoticons. They'll also be able to send money.
Twitter has added a tool to help users report abusive content to law enforcement, which could aid in removing the most threatening posts as Twitter ramps up its efforts to combat harassment.
The insight gained from a single tweet might not be worth much, but what about from a million?
Don't worry, be happy. That seems to be the attitude most Americans have toward widespread government snooping on their Internet activities.
Twitter has amended its policies to ban the posting of intimate photos and videos taken without the person's permission.
Facebook will have to defend itself in a class action lawsuit seeking to force it to provide refunds when children make purchases on its site without their parents' permission, a judge has ruled.
Paul D. Ceglia, who was arrested in 2012 for defrauding Facebook on the claim that he owns half the company, is now a fugitive.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Headlines January 10, 2011 Full Show | First Story >
Rep. Giffords Survives Assassination Attempt in Tucson; Six Die
The 22-year-old man accused of trying to assassinate Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is scheduled to be arraigned today on a number of charges including attempted assassination of a member of Congress. Giffords remains in critical condition after being shot in the head at point-blank range on Saturday while she was meeting with constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona. Police say Jared Lee Loughner shot Giffords and then fired at the crowd, killing six and injuring 13 others. The dead included John Roll, the chief federal judge for Arizona; Gabriel Zimmerman, an aide to the congresswoman; and nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green, a third-grader who was recently elected to the student council at her elementary school. President Obama has called for a moment of silence today at 11:00 a.m. EST for the victims of Saturday's shooting. The House of Representatives' entire legislative agenda has been postponed for the week. Two days before the shooting, Congresswoman Giffords took to the House floor and read the First Amendment.
Rep. Giffords: "First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
FBI: Evidence Indicates Gunman Plotted Giffords Shooting
The FBI has revealed it has discovered evidence that the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was a premeditated assassination. During a search of the home of Jared Lee Loughner's parents, the FBI found an envelope on which he wrote the phrases: "I planned ahead," "My assassination" and "Giffords."
Investigators Probe Arizona Gunman's Links to Hate Group
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security memo indicates authorities are investigating whether Jared Lee Loughner, who opened fire at public event hosted by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, had ties to American Renaissance, an anti-Semitic, anti-immigration hate group. The Southern Poverty Law Center said some of Loughner's online writings reflect the views of members of the anti-government Patriot movement.
Tucson Sheriff Condemns Hateful Political Rhetoric
On Sunday, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik suggested Jared Lee Loughner may have been influenced by right-wing political rhetoric.
Sheriff Clarence Dupnik: "When the rhetoric about hatred, about mistrust of government, about paranoia of how government operates, and to try to inflame the public on a daily business, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, has impact on people, especially who are unbalanced personalities to begin with."
Incendiary Packages Mailed in Maryland and Washington, D.C.
Some postal workers in Washington, D.C. were evacuated on Friday after an incendiary device ignited inside a package addressed to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The Baltimore Sun reported the package was similar in design and shape to packages received Thursday in Maryland, addressed to the state's Democratic governor Martin O'Malley and the state's transportation secretary. In Maryland, the incendiary devices flared up and singed the fingers of Maryland employees handling mail at state government buildings.
DOJ Subpoenas Twitter for Info on WikiLeaks Accounts
The U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed the internet company Twitter for personal information from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and four other people tied to WikiLeaks, including Birgitta Jonsdottir, a member of the Icelandic parliament. The subpoena asks Twitter for all records and correspondence relating to their accounts, including apparently private direct messages sent through Twitter. The subpoena was issued on December 14. Twitter was under a gag order until last week. It is unclear if Facebook or any other internet company received similar subpoenas. The government of Iceland has summoned the U.S. ambassador to discuss the subpoena. Icelandic Interior Minister Ögmundur Jónasson said, "[It is] very serious that a foreign state, the United States, demands such personal information of an Icelandic person, an elected official."
Scott Sisters Freed After Serving 16 Years in Prison for $11 Robbery
In Mississippi, two African American sisters were freed Friday from life sentences in jail for an $11 armed robbery. The sisters, Gladys and Jamie Scott, had spent 16 years in prison. The NAACP and other civil rights groups had campaigned for years for their freedom. Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour suspended their sentences on condition that Gladys donate a kidney to her sister, who is on dialysis.
Gladys Scott: "You know, I'm praying to God that I am a match, because I don't want her to have nobody else's kidney. I want her to have mine. Whether I was, you know, released because I had to give her a kidney, I was going to give it to her anyway if I had to give it to her in prison. Didn't nobody had to release me, because if they would have let me give it to her when her kidney first failed, I would have gave it to her without a shadow of a doubt. I love my sister."
Jamie Scott, 36, reflected on Friday about how much the world has changed since they were sent to prison in 1994.
Jamie Scott: "Last night, I didn't sleep at all last night. I see pictures of stuff in magazines, different things, as the world is changing and everything — cell phones, up-to-date cell phones and all these things. And today, I've done used mostly everybody's cell phone that's with me. I just wanted to touch them, and I've been playing with them and everything. And it's so amazing, you know, how the world has changed since 1994. And up to today, it is so amazing, and I'm still trying to soak it all in."
Unemployment Rate Falls as More Drop Out of Labor Force
In economic news, the U.S. Department of Labor reports that the nation's official unemployment rate fell to 9.4 percent in December. It is the lowest rate since May 2009. But the Center for Economic Policy and Research points out that the drop is largely due to a decrease in number of people seeking to be employed. According to the Center, 260,000 adults dropped out of the labor force in December and are no longer counted as unemployed by the government. Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke admitted last week that it could take four to five more years for the job market to normalize fully.
Wells Fargo & U.S. Bancorp Lose Landmark Foreclosure Court Case
Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp have lost a major court case in Massachusetts that could have profound effects on how foreclosure cases proceed nationwide. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts voided the seizure of two homes by the banks because the banks had "failed to make the required showing that they were the holders of the mortgages at the time of foreclosure." Associate Justice Robert Cordy declared that the banks demonstrated "utter carelessness" in documenting their rights to the properties. The short-term effects of the decision are that Mark and Tammy LaRace will be able to stay in their home, despite the fact that it was foreclosed upon in 2007, and Antonio Ibanez will have the title of his home returned to him. If the bank will not allow him to retake possession of the home, then it will have to pay him for his deed. The decision was applied retroactively, meaning thousands of homeowners could seek recovery for homes that were wrongfully foreclosed upon. Analysts worry, however, about the economic costs of the decision, suggesting that it could make selling homes more difficult.
Three Die in Algerian Food Riots
In Algeria, three people are dead, hundreds more have been injured, and close to 1,000 have been arrested in protests that have engulfed the nation. The protests were triggered by a sudden hike in food prices. Staple items such as flour, sugar and cooking oil increased in price by an average of 30 percent in recent days. The protesters, predominantly young Algerians, have also complained of housing shortages, failed economic policies, corruption and a growing inequality gap. Attempting to quell the violence, the Algerian government has declared that it will cut food prices by 14 percent and it will increase the amount of soft wheat it supplies to local markets. The rise in food prices in Algeria is consistent with the rise in food prices globally, which are currently at an all-time high. In an effort to forestall similar protests, the Indonesian government has eliminated tariffs on imports of wheat, soy beans and cattle feed.
23 Die After Tunisian Troops Fire on Demonstrators
In Tunisia, at least 23 people have died as protests over the economy have spread across the country. Opposition groups accused the Tunisian army of firing into crowds of demonstrators.
Southern Sudan Begins Voting on Independence
At least 23 people have died in clashes near Sudan's north-south border. The violence comes one day after polls opened in Southern Sudan for a week-long referendum on Southern independence. Southerners are expected to vote to split from the mostly Muslim north. Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has been monitoring the elections in Sudan.
Kofi Annan: "They have seen enough wars, and they are tired, and we should have positive expectation and encourage them. War and conflict is not the only option. There is enough in history to tell us that enmity between peoples need not last forever, and bitter enemies have made peace and today, in many parts of the world, live peacefully together. And it can and should happen here also in Sudan."

Accused Airliner Bomber, CIA Operative Faces Trial
A former CIA operative who is accused of killing 73 people in a 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner is going on trial today in Texas. But instead of terrorism charges, Luis Posada Carriles is facing charges of perjury. The 82-year-old Cuban exile is accused of lying to an immigration judge about how he entered the United States and his role in a series of bombings in Havana in 1997. He has also been charged with several charges of immigration fraud and obstruction of a proceeding.
Muslims Act as Human Shields for Coptic Christians in Egypt
In Egypt, millions of Coptic Christians celebrated Christmas on Friday as the community continues to reel from the New Year's Day church bombing that killed 21 people and injured dozens more. In a sign of solidarity, thousands of Muslims gathered on Thursday night to protect Egyptian Copts as they celebrated Christmas Eve. Acting as human shields, the Muslims surrounded churches in an attempt to prevent any more attacks. The Muslims organized under the slogan: "We either live together, or we die together."

Brewpub menus: Ales and Lagers
Rd asked a good question in last week's post about beer menus. Why is it that brewpubs, and craft brewers in general, offer more ale styles than lager? (By the way, I thought I had replied to Rd's question, saying that I'd answer it in a new post, but somehow the comment didn't make it […] [Read More]
Beer Menus
The comments from last week's post made me realize that exciting beer menus are still far from universal. What is it that makes a beer menu interesting, and why don't more bar owners offer one? A good menu isn't built by simply offering a few dozen beers; there must be stylistic diversity. I'd rather drink […] [Read More]

Beer Pricing
I recently got the 2012 price list from my malt supplier. Prices have gone up about 17% for just about all brands and types. The main reason for this increase isn't new: a challenging time for farmers coupled with an ever-booming human population = higher prices for food. There are other factors, too, such as […] [Read More]

Hi all,
I went to Ink-a-licious Tattoo Studio Bradford for a tattoo. Unfortunately the studio was being refurbished. As a result they offered my 20% discount on the piercing and tattoo that I have enquired about and although I must return to them to have this done, I must say what I have seen so far is excellent and I am impressed! The staff are polite, helpful and friendly and I cannot wait for my booking.

RCCS launches busy summer public events schedule
June 2015
The first Mansfield Children's Festival and the annual Miss Ohio Parade on June 13-14 officially launched a busy summer events season for Richland County Children Services.
The agency will participate in many events in the next several weeks, including the Ontario 4th of July Festival and parade, Shelby Bicycle Days Festival and Parade, the Richland County Fair and the Bellville Street Fair.
"Our agency gets such great support from the people and communities in Richland County," said Carl Hunnell, the agency's supervisor of public information and outreach. "Participating in community festivals, parades and events is one way we can show our gratitude for that support."
Here is a quick look at the agency's remaining summer events schedule:
June 20 -- Cruise-In, 1st Assembly of God Church
Message is clear: NEVER shake a child!
By Patty Harrelson, MSSA, LISW-S
The pinwheel, an uplifting and enduring symbol of childhood, is often the centerpiece of the Richland County Children Services public awareness campaign during National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.
The agency usually plants one pinwheel into the ground for each investigation into alleged child abuse and neglect the agency investigated the year before. For the last few years, this display has been on the front lawn of the Mansfield Area YMCA. In 2014, we investigated or assessed 2,118 cases of alleged maltreatment or families needing services.
You won't see the pinwheels this year. This year, we are doing something different.
We are using our annual funds from the Ohio Children's Trust Fund to provide public education crucial to preventing child abuse.
The four, one-syllable words of this educational campaign impart a tremendously important message:
Never shake a child.
You will hear these words in our messages on local radio, TV and newspapers for Child Abuse Prevention Month. Our banners in front of the YMCA this month carry the message. We will use our agency Web site and Facebook page to deliver these messages, as well.
Never shake a child.
Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) a form of abusive head trauma (AHT) and inflicted traumatic brain injury (ITBI) is a completely preventable and severe form of physical child abuse. It results from violently shaking an infant by the shoulders, arms, or legs. In fact, children as old as four can be so severely shaken that it results in death or serious injury.
SBS may result from both shaking alone or from impact (with or without shaking). The resulting whiplash effect can cause bleeding within the brain or the eyes.
Nearly all victims of SBS suffer serious health consequences, including deafness, blindness and/or brain damage. At least one of every four babies who are violently shaken dies from this form of child abuse. Even those children who often do not appear to have initial serious injuries often have poor health and life outcomes. This is not just a criminal issue. It's a public health one.
We have already seen at least three instances of alleged SBS in Richland County this year, one of which resulted in the child's death. That's three too many.
So we believe this is a perfect opportunity to focus on this one crucial aspect of child abuse, rather than the usual pinwheel display.
Often, SBS occurs when a parent or caregiver becomes frustrated over a baby's crying. The fact is all babies cry. Some cry more than others. But when this frustration builds, it's time to step back, try to relax, take a break, phone a friend or relative, or call us at 419-774-4100 at any time of the day or night.
Most adults who admit to shaking a baby say they became frustrated and upset when the baby would not stop crying In addition to frustration, other contributors include stressful life events such as: becoming a new parent, financial strain and difficulty in work or family relationships.
While devastating, most people who shake a baby or young child do not intend to hurt or kill the child. They do not realize that their actions could cause harm.
It's ok to punch a pillow. It's ok to slam a door. Consider taking a break, reading a book, taking a walk or getting someone to relieve you, if only for a few moments.
Never shake a child.
We are not sure what the future holds for the pinwheels in this community. Many of my fellow county directors have also stopped recounting actual cases in this annual event and put these funds directly toward primary prevention. We generally do not receive funding for these types of activities and our work is; by law, largely directed at post incident responses.
So, this year at least; I am opting for primary prevention and a direct and clear message on this serious issue. The pinwheels do provide a powerful message to our community. However, we believe our message this year is more powerful and may help save the life of a child.
Never shake a child.
(Patty Harrelson is the executive director of Richland County Children Services.)
Family engagement aim of Richland County Children Services pilot program
Child welfare is moving more and more toward family engagement.
With that in mind, Richland County Children Services is part of a pilot program seeking to identify families who have successfully completed case plans with the agency and partner them with families who are struggling.
The local program — a spin-off of the national Primary Parent Partner Program — is called HOPE, short for Helping Ohio Parent Effectively. Richland, Cuyahoga and Trumbull counties are the three taking part in the state initiative.
"We're kind of the guinea pigs in this," said Tim Harless, program director of external affairs at Children Services.
Harless said the three counties will share their experiences. He would like to see the program expand to all 88 counties.
With families who are struggling, Children Services hosts team meetings
"We ask families to bring support people with them, but we struggle with getting them to do that," Harless said.
Harless said he is hopeful the families will bring their mentors from the HOPE program.
The program director of external affairs also plans to use the new initiative as a training program for staff, a chance for employees to listen to feedback.
So far, six families have expressed interest in being mentors. They will receive small stipends, such as Wal-Mart gift cards or gas vouchers.
Prospective families and community providers will undergo three days of training early next month.
Harless said families who are struggling with their case plans might be more receptive to working with mentors rather than agency employees.
Children Services has property on Fourth Street that will serve as an additional space for the agency to conduct family team meetings. Some family team meetings will be held at the agency as well.
The local initiative is made possible through a grant. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services is the lead agency. Casey Family Programs and the Public Children Services Association of Ohio are part of the leadership team to give guidance to the three pilot counties.

My house was confiscated by the Downtown Improvement District last Monday. It turns out that there's a little-known constitutional power laid out by America's powdered-wig-wearing founding fathers, which is known today as Tom Clancy's Right of Eminent Domain, becauseThe Man — as seen in country clubs and Republican Party fundraisers — can take what's yours Without Remorse via Executive Orders in the event of a Clear and Present Danger and just give it to somebody else. I'm a rebel, and I reject your precious rules, but that means nothing to a phalanx of armored lawyers backed up by teams of bulldozers that are already idling amid clouds of diesel exhaust.
The state is required to pay fair market value for confiscated property, but last year I dumped some barrels of oil and various toxins on the lawn in order to get on that sweet, sweet Superfund Cleanup gravy train. So payment of "fair market value" turned out to be presenting me with an enormous bill for polluting what had just become the property of the city of Kansas City. Now that oil is up to $142 a barrel, I'm wishing I'd held on to a few of those barrels I dumped in the yard so I could sell them on eBay.
Now I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to buy a scooter, because gas prices are going to skyrocket, and also because I want to ride around on it when nobody's looking. After the jump, other embarrassing tips for surviving the coming economic collapse — click here, here or on this picture of Tom Joad wearing a fanny pack:
The .244 Holland & Holland Magnum has a high muzzle velocity. But then so does my dick: The Supreme Court has affirmed the right of individual Americans to own guns, effectively overturning Washington, D.C.'s 32-year-old ban on handguns. What is there to say, other than that violent gun deaths are just the collateral damage of the Bill of Rights? There will be blood, you guys. I'm totally serious about that — just as the First Amendment results in horrible shit like the availability of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Dane Cook's Harmful If Swallowed, and the Third Amendment against the quartering of troops results in tons of homeless veterans panhandling at the Broadway Bridge, the Second Amendment has consequences, such as dad's tendency to keep his loaded handgun hidden in the closet behind his stacks of old Playboy magazines — y'know, where nobody will ever go looking for it.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOOOOOTBAAAAAALL? I don't write about sports. Or, if you can recall a specific instance in which I did write about sports, it was an accident and I can't remember it. In my opinion, the simple statement that Fox 4 sports anchor Frank Boal resembles Idaho Sen. Larry Craig does not constitute writing about sports, or even knowing much about it:
Also, it doesn't take Arthur Ashe Courage Award-winning late sportscaster Howard Cosell to realize that the resemblance is more pronounced when they wear matching berets:
And that's about as far as Daily Briefs sports coverage goes. Mostly, sports involves a lot of jargon I don't really understand, like listening to truckers talk on the C.B. And it's no coincidence that all the cool-sounding terminology, like "quarterback," has been reduced by contemporary sports announcers to initials such as "QB". The barrier to entry is just way too high, like speaking French or enduring a jazz performance.
However, as we've mentioned before, The Pitch now hosts a sports blog called Small Market Scribblings, "anchored" by Chris Rasmussen, who, in addition to having a supersexy first name, has spent his lifetime absorbing all world knowledge about sports and then disgorging that information, sometimes over lunch, sometimes in the direction of innocent bystanders who have no idea what he's talking about. Small Market Scribblings is a healthy outlet for his occasionally Tourette-syndrome-like tendency to spasmodically emit sports-related data and a destination of choice for anyone annoyed by my lack of sports commentary.

I confess, I am tempted to believe that there is a God, but it is so difficult, although I do love Jesus, he was a reformer and lover of all mankind, although not all his followers are as nice as he was. And yes, I want to see the beam in my eye when I criticize the mote in another's eye, but sometimes the other does have a beam, whoever the other is. I hope that you have seen in my above posts that I do not condone any violence, I hate any sort of militant action, but these are the facts, just as there are nasty Jewish people and nasty Arabs, and I shall not hesitate to see the evil on both sides, as well as the good. Some of my friends are "self-hating Jews" who condemn Israel more than some Arabs, some are very pro-Israel, anti-Palestine, so I just refrain from offending anyone. Besides, I NEVER did say that I hate Israel, I think that the fact that I speak more about Palestinians is that they get such bad press and there are such nasty things said, such as they are all violent, fanatic, ignorant (especially the one about the "ignorant mothers" sending their children to commit suicide--was that necessary?). I may also be prejudiced, because I have known so many Palestinians for so many years, and they are so unhappy and desperate. My brother-in-law, from Ramallah (he is Orthodox Christian, so there is no danger of his trying to kill us because we are not Muslim!), was in tears when he saw on television his town, his ancestral home was in danger, but fortunately was not too badly damaged. So I empathize, that is my situation, I am not doing this for a fad or because it is chic, it just is how I perceive the situation, and I am not alone, and it is good to discuss it, maybe we can learn something, but please let us not impute hatred where there is none.

A Kinder Cut? Advances in spay procedures
As a colleague of mine once said, "a spay is a procedure routinely performed, but it is not a routine procedure." In the U.S., "spay" refers to the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus.

Why are my European colleagues doing things differently, and is there evidence to suggest...

As politicians and voters squared off this fall, a little bill sat in committee on Capitol Hill, awaiting action that in all likelihood won't happen.

But even if it dies on the vine, the bill has opened debate on an issue that affects virtually every pet owner — the cost and availability of veterinary...

Eye of the Tiger
She was a large woman, not like birds. China Lynn, like fine; fine China, fine powder, and like leaving baby girls out on windowsills to die, she'd heard. She'd heard they did that there. She pictured the Chinese baby girls cooing on windowsills with the potted plants while the sun was shining on them till night when the cold took their breath.
She was a large woman, not like her birds, and she never would have left a baby girl out on the windowsill to die. Even if she only got one. Oh, if she were only allowed one baby, she would have been pleased if it was a girl.
"Eye of the Tiger." That was the song that was playing and also that was what was reflecting in the mirror as she painted her blue shadow up to her brows: an eye of a tiger printed on the rug that hung on the wall behind her. That big, sparkling velvety tiger perpetually purred at her and her little birds; seven Cockatiels, three Parakeets, and five Lovebirds. One of the Lovebirds had died, leaving an odd number. Even birds mourn. The widow didn't sing anymore, and China imagined it would go along too, soon enough, but she told it to be strong.
"Down a gin and tonic and take a look around you, lady," she told the bird when it first stopped singing.
"Death's gonna come fast enough as it is without you calling him on with your silence." China figured Death must be drawn to silence.
Death is so silent, he must be drawn to silent people, silent places, silent things like widowed Lovebirds that have given up their song.
"Death ain't coming in here, hump ump um," China said, and tapped on the widow's cage.
"Sing sumpin, pretty girl." Then she took it upon herself to start the singing as she rubbed some gloss on her lips.
There was a tap on the door before it opened, but they didn't really even need to knock. They coulda just walked in.
"Hey, baby sis. Oh, this motherfucker been after me for something. I need to settle here for a few hours."
She wasn't even through the door and she'd started hollering, a cigarette cascading smoke from one hand, her daughter holding tightly to her other. China replaced her makeup to the drawer and turned. Her sister smoked. "Well, you look all nice," her sister told her.
And China did look nice. Today she had on a white and silver dress shirt that hung loosely from her buoyant frame, ornamented here and there with silver necklaces and pins. She was wearing thirteen rings. On some fingers she wore two or three piled on top of each other. There were two silver spoons, smashed and bent, an opal, some thin white gold bands tied together that made clinking noises, a wedding ring with diamonds, and a tough-looking silver cat head. Her blond hair was crimped and hung down past her shoulders, pulled back with a gold headband that highlighted her high blue eye shadow.
But she never felt she looked as nice as her sister, even though her sister seldom put any effort into her upkeep. Her sister was thin, and that's all that she needed to be. She wore no makeup, let her long dishwater hair go naturally, hanging down around her face. She wore tight, tight jeans, a man's work shirt, and somehow she was stunning. Endlessly. Simply. But the most stunning thing about her, to China, had nothing to do with her present body. The most stunning thing about her was a thing that had been extracted from her body and now held tightly to her hand.
Together, her sister and her sister's little daughter looked more sensuous than China believed should be legal. The little girl was a thin thing as well, but serious, with long, straight red hair. They looked like they were naturally and permanently attached at the palm, the way they were now holding hands like they might still be one body, the eight-year-old girl walking in time with her mother, letting go a moment to hug China and then finding her mother's hand and holding again without effort or communication. And something of the summer heat, the little sweat that collected on her daughter's bare shoulders and her sister's gold tan, gave them a lusty, juicy look, like maybe they were some tropical fruit plant, something tall and thin, all dewy and wet in the early morning light, waiting to be plucked.
"Panama, you in some kind of trouble?" China asked.
"No, nothing. Crazy ole boy wants me to pay up the seventy I owe him I aint got. It's the last for Lotus."
"She is a beautiful puppy. How much did he charge you all together?"
"That's good for a pit."
"I know, sis. An allllbiiiino." The word came out long and dramatic like she was lusting over the thought. She was lusting over the thought. She had a new albino pit bull puppy named Lotus. She leaned over to put her cigarette out in the ashtray. "But I only paid him fifteen. I told him I'd have it in a few days, but I aint got the rest of the money," she said, laughing and groaning about it while she reached her cigarette around her daughter for the tray. The hot cherry of the cigarette got her little daughter on her bare shoulder. The girl jumped and covered the burned place with the hand that wasn't holding onto her mother. The other hand kept holding on. The girl pursed her face but didn't cry. Such a serious, beautiful little girl, China thought.
Panama let out a shriek, "Hunny, you okay? I'm sorry. You got some ice, sissy? Ow, hunn, I'm sorry." She put the cigarette in the tray and told it, "Bad cigarette."
China went into the kitchen for some ice. "This guy's on me for it. I told him not to get his britches in wad," Panama hollered. "I'm good for it. I'm not going nowhere." She made her way around to look at all the birdcages with her daughter. "God knows, I'm not goin no fuckin where," she muttered to herself. "Although I gotta say though, it would be nice. It would be fuckin nice if I were goin somewhere. Gotta get the hell outta here someday, aint that right, hunny? Someplace tropical. Whatda you think?" The girl tilted her head to her mother. Her mother kept on. "Someday you and me gonna go, gonna get. Or how bout New York City? You like that one? Aint nothing beautiful and big and bright as that Empire State Building. I seen pictures folks took from on top of it. On top of that building, you can see everything. It's so tall you can see the whole world, see all of civilization. You can see the ocean looking like it's spilling off. You can see how the world is round from up there. If I was standing under that thing, I'd know I could do anything. I'd be free. Be that big. That bright. Big old sparkling building like a lighthouse showing us the way outta this storm. Up on top of that Empire State Building, we'd be free, baby. Free as a bird." Panama was always going on like this. "New York City's where dreams live. What do you say, baby? You gonna go be free with me in New York City someday?"
"Woods's picaresque novel-cum-LP follows Mya, the nickname of a girl with an unpronounceable name, as she romps across the landscape of sideshow America. Orphaned after accidentally feeding her mother to an albino tiger, Mya leaves on horseback to find shelter and eventually takes up with a counter-culture band of squatters who quote the French feminist cultural theorist Luce Irigaray and juggle at Bat-Mitzvahs. When Mya's lover Jules enmeshes her in a Weather Underground-inspired plot to blow up a Monsanto plant, Mya brings the book's Side A to a fiery conclusion. On Side B, the needle skips. Along with several digressions where the protagonist is nowhere to be found, Mya eventually flees to the house of a former flame before chasing her horse down to New Orleans. There, she bonds with an intersex West African named Idrissa who takes over the narration, giving a welcome new perspective on the bemusing Mya. Focus returns to Mya for the final chapters, where she escapes to The Fire House in New York, a peculiar church led by an eerily secretive preacher. While Woods creates a sympathetic character in the wise yet feral Mya, loose ends and an unsatisfying conclusion make this more of a mix-tape than an album. (Mar.)"

"Devoid of pretense or fear, Woods tells a not so "normal" coming-of-age story set in the stretched-out underbelly of rural America. Smart but unworldly, Woods creates a new world for the contemporary misfit where circus performers, Catholic workers, fire jugglers, and power wives sit at the same table. A "gooble gobble" successor, Woods's edgy sensuality doesn't second-guess. Her language is clear, her home somewhere and nowhere." — 2013 Library Journal Spring Pick

Emerging author Chavisa Woods has been noted for capturing a "strange, troubling vision of domestic life in the rural U.S." (Go Magazine). Here she presents a technicolored vision of rural adolescence, the story of a girl with an unpronounceable name—a fiery, unhinged, growling, big-hearted country girl in a dirty black tutu and combat boots who travels along all the bizarre yet familiar byways of human desire from the cornfields of Louisiana and the big brass sound of Mardi Gras to the heights of the Empire State Building. Turning the tradition of the southern gothic novel on its head, Woods presents a new land of contemporary misfits including fire-dancers, pseudo-Nazis who breed albino animals, Catholic workers, horse thieves, and the archangel Gabrielle.
A bold exploration of the intersections of race, class, and sexuality, The Albino Album contemplates the relationships between political action, art and romance, as our heroine tries on a series of bewitchingly fantastical families looking for the place to call home.

Gallery: New Printable Armor is Hardest Organic Substance Ever Designed
Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest of places. Case in point: scientists have just created a new super strong material based on the plaque found in Alzheimer's patients' brains. The new substance isn't exactly the same as the plaque that causes the tragic disease, but it has a very similar chemical structure that is then coated with an additional protective layer. The tiny spheres that result are microscopic and when put together, form a printable substance that is tougher than steel, twice as tough as Kevlar and the hardest microscopic organic substance on Earth.

@Stephane Von Stephane – Well, the substance has proven itself really durable, I mean, it stops bullets. You can't just waltz up into someone's brain with a putty knife and scrape this off, something this tough (and where its located) don't make it easy at all. Scientists are looking for a cure for Alzheimers, OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE DISCOVERED THIS! Whilst trying to find the cure someone had the bright idea to attempt to make something of it.
November 26, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Yeah, so instead of figuring out how to destroy the plaque in Alzheimers patients' brains, 'scientists' are creating BODY ARMOR for the military…what is wrong with this picture?
November 23, 2010 at 8:35 pm
i'm confused. "…when put together, form a printable substance…" but then "…The scientists believe that the material could be printed…"
can it be printed or not? your source says it "may be possible" not that it is. i don't know why i even read inhabitat anymore, if it's not mac related it's shoddy reporting or design dreams that are years from realization or reality.

In recognizing speech sounds, the brain does not work the way a computer does
April 30, 2014
How does the brain decide whether something is correct? When it comes to the processing of spoken language, the theory has been that the brain applies a set of rules to determine which combinations of sounds are permissible. Now, the work of the Martinos Center's David Gow and colleagues suggests that the brain decides based on the words that are already known.
