Final Installment
The final part is a diary of the last few weeks and what has rattled through my mind at the strangest times. I dont compare to the writings of Bridget Jones, and Im not even going to go near a knicker comparison.
October 27th
Just what on earth were we thinking of taking this trip now? I mean theres 3 children the 6 year old will do fine, shes definitely the sensible one of the party the 2 year old is a maniac at the best of times, if he doesnt get thrown off the plane within an hour of take off Ill be amazed the baby will be 7 months old. Whose stupid idea was it to take a 7-month-old baby, along with two other young children, all the way over the Atlantic to Walt Disney World? I know, I know, it was my idea but when I originally came up with the idea there was only two children and I couldnt bring myself to cancel when the boy came along. Besides, everyone else said it would be fine and how could we not take him with us. So here we are, less than 5 weeks away from a 9-hour flight, two weeks in a foreign country, and a second 9-hour flight, all in the company of 3 small children. We are definitely stupid.
Oh but its okay, there are 5 grown-ups going too. But wait. Grown-ups are useless. Its true. Grown-ups are totally incapable of getting anything right. Grown-ups are totally inept. An example: my brother and his girlfriend came to visit a few weeks ago. They bought Steven a gift with them a musical aquarium thing. It took 4 grown-ups hunched over this thing to get it working. Of course if wed read the instructions first it would have been simple. But grown-ups dont do that. That would be too easy. Grown-ups must first demonstrate their total ineptitude at doing anything. Of course Steven turns this thing on and off at will usually at 3am I might add.
So here we are 5 grown-ups who are useless, 3 small children, 2 9-hour flights, and 2 weeks in a foreign country. All less than 5 weeks away. We are totally stupid.
October 31st
We seriously are mad and stupid. Decided to unpack Stevens packed stuff and lay it out in the spare room with all the other stuff thats in there ready to pack. Even before you add Adrians and my clothing there is still more stuff here than weve ever taken before. OK time for a little pruning. Does Steven need all these jars of food? Maybe not, we could remove a couple. But wait, what if the flight is delayed? Better not take a chance. And its the same with all Stevens things. Do we need all of this? Maybe not: but maybe we do. Ive flown Virgin many times before and never been delayed its bound to happen if we only pack enough food for a short airport wait and a 9-hour flight. Need to pack all of this. Maybe I should go and buy more, just in case of real emergencies. Oh what should I do, I say out loud at Steven. He looks at me as if to say, all grown-ups are stupid. I say to him, yeah well one day youll be standing where I am now. Oh no I wont, he drools, Im not stupid enough to do anything like take a baby to Disney World. I strap him into his car seat and pop to Tesco for just another couple of jars. At least it will be a break from continually stopping him from trying to shove a ruler into a floppy disk drive.
Last night the boy pulled himself up on to his feet with the help of the sofa.
November 10th
How do birds legs support their bodies? I was watching the birds feeding outside our patio doors this morning. They have teeny-weeny spindly legs holding up their bodies. Granted, a birds body doesnt weigh very much but still, I cant figure out how these stick legs hold up the plump, well-fed bodies that appear in our garden. Some birds even hop around on one leg. I couldnt do that for more than a minute or so. They are amazing feats of nature we should be in awe of birds. Except pigeons.
Steven is scared of Harry.
Harry is scared of everything. Its a bit gairy is his favourite phrase right now.
Ellie has a terrible cold.
And I think I have a wisdom tooth coming through at a really stupid angle. Great.
November 13th
Why do birds suddenly appear?
Why do fools fall in love?
Who wants to be a millionaire?
When will I, will I be famous?
Where did the 6-inch long bruise on my left shin come from?
Life is an endless succession of questions that have no answers. Ive been asking a lot of questions lately. Why are we taking a 7-month old halfway around the world? Why did I invite Harry? Has anyone ever had to post bail for a 2-year old? That kind of thing. These questions have no credible answers. Im seriously beginning to doubt my sanity. This holiday will undoubtedly be a series of disasters each following swiftly on from the previous. Nothing will go right, from the moment we check in at the Gatwick Hilton calamity will befall us from every angle. We are destined to feature in a special one-off episode of Holidays From Hell.
November 14th
Am about to draft letter to employers telling them what incompetent fools they are for failing to follow their own policies and how I will be looking to them to repay the £2000 in lost wages I have incurred as a result of this. After that I will reconfirm our room booking at the Gatwick Hilton and ensure they have our request for a travel cot. Life rumbles on of course. Ellie is much better now. Adrian has decided he will not wear shorts in December even if it is 80°. Ill sneak some shorts into the bags when hes not looking.
How does seawater get salty?
November 15th
We suddenly realised that Steven has never eaten in a restaurant before so we went to the local Harvester for lunch today for a trial run. Found out he loves garlic bread and he ordered pasta in tomato sauce from the under-5s menu and had ice cream for dessert. He was fine until the ice cream then he decided he was tired and needed to cry for a bit. He soon calmed down when he got a shiny spoon to play with which apparently is really funny when used to bash Mummy on the back of the hand. So it looks like he can handle a restaurant without too much hassle.
I got all the Christmas presents out so we can wrap them tomorrow and realised Ive lost the piece of paper which says which present is for what person. This could have some interesting consequences.
November 18th
Nothing is packed yet. And Ive just realised that Adrian has signed all the travellers checks. I have no spending money. This is drastic. I turn to my trusty back-up income ebay. I now have around $300. That should do nicely for the Christmas shop.
November 21st
Nothing is packed yet. The spare room where packing is done is full of laundry that needs to dry and be ironed before it can be packed. I refuse to have a drier so its hanging everywhere. Everything we need to buy has been bought but theres no room to pack anything until the laundry is dry.
I was awake at 3am this morning worrying about what we would do if the person sitting in front of me on the plane decided to try and recline their seat back on Stevens head. I decided I would just slap them. Then I got up and wrote a 6 page masterful piece of literature to my line manager telling him why I think hes an idiot. I didnt use those exact words but when I was quoting from his letters I had to use sic an awful lot to indicate his errors.
Steven climbed the stairs this morning: fully supervised of course. But he climbed them. Alone. All 14 of them. Now his is sitting on the floor at my feet trying to get the lid off my bottle of Dr Pepper. Oh great. Would you believe this? As I am literally typing these words hes shoved the bottle so far into his mouth hes made himself throw up. All over my bottle of Dr Pepper. He had chicken curry for lunch.
I guess Id better post this now as I dont know whether Ill have time to write anything else once the serious business of packing starts. I will let you all know when the packing is successfully completed. I have to phone my brother tomorrow to confirm what time we are aiming to arrive at the Gatwick Hilton so we can coordinate our check-in rendezvous. I also have to remind him he still owes me £168 for his familys Universal Studios tickets. So this is the last instalment of the worlds longest pre-trip report you are getting. Trainee Jedi Master Breeze will watch the Trip Reports while I am gone and report any transgressions or tardiness to the Moderators and Adminstrators. I may add a few tiny details on to the end of this thread over the next week, but nothing major. This is it. This is all youre getting. No more. Nothing. Nada.

I just submitted my appeal letter to my insurance company. I ended up writing how much is suck dealing with this disorder on a daily basis and we want to avoid my complications or worse for them. Hoping it works the first time around and that we don't need to wait until November to start this process. The RE doc thinks we have a good shot so we'll see.

KMMZ- they rejected us a second time. The next step would be appealing to the state which we don't want to do because this isn't something that is worth appealing to the state on. So I'm going to my dr's this week to ask a bunch of questions about doing this "the old fashion" way and seeing what our options are if we concieve naturally. It's not what we wanted but we also don't want to just sit around and wait until November. Who knows, maybe it'll take that long anyway and then we can go back to the insurance company but we'll just take it one step at a time.
Thanks Whirled! I think I have some small leftover plastic drinking cups lol

I'm going to the dr's this week to ask a bunch of questions about getting pg the "old fashioned way" and seeing what our options would be if we concieve naturally. Who knows, if could take until November anyway and then we can go back to the insurance company with our original plan. Neither one of us wants to just sit around and wait until then though.

Sorry about the rejection Northern!
My head is spinning from all the IVF consents we just read through and signed. Still very undecided on whether we should go through with it, though want to get all the insurance approvals underway. We need to sit down and have a serious discussion about our thoughts on multiples. That is my biggest worry about all this. If this was our first baby I would be happy for multiples, (well twins anyway! :) ) though since we already have DD, I am not sure how I feel. Need to make a decision soon though. Tomorrow I have my day 3 appointment for the Clomid challenge required by insurance since I turn 40 soon.

Wed, nothing about having children is ideal - you know that, you have one. :)
Neither of the people I'm very close with who had multiples (both families had toddlers at the time) would have wished it on themselves, but my SIL's 3 kids (twins) are grown and my friends are doing what they have to do (as difficult as it is) to raise their 3 yo and her 3 brothers.
My muddled point is that deciding to try to get pregnant by any and all ways possible (from simply avoiding bc to IVF) always comes with risks - multiples (spontaneous or chemically encouraged), Down's and other chromosomal abnormalities, chemical imbalances, and who knows what kind of problems that may manifest at any time like autism or depression. It's like driving - we all risk getting mangled or killed every single time we get in the car...but we do it with nary a thought.
I'm not saying don't think about it, but remember, big risks are there no matter what.
Re: APRIL 2013 TTC
posted at 4/26/2013 9:59 AM EDT
Multiples was our concern, too. My dr wanted to implant 2-3 embryos and we were very hesitant about that for a number of reasons, the main one being I was pre-eclamptic for the latter part of my first pregnancy. I was extremely worried that multiple would make that condition worse. Even though it could mean more rounds of IVF, we decided to only have 1 implanted at a time. I just can't imagine bedrest with my super active DS. I was flat on my back this week with a wicked bout of sciatica and DS was super great about giving me space, but I saw how tough it was on my husband to carry that load on his own.
Not that I couldn't end up on bedrest without multiples, but I just wanted to level the playing field, I guess.
Northern - so sorry the insurance company rejected you. We switched from Tufts to HP in the middle of a cycle and the whole thing was a nightmare from start to finish, so I get how frustrating all that is. Hope your RE gives you some good options.

Hello All - I have a question that I think you ladies might know the answer to - can you trust Dollar Tree pregnancy tests? After I bought it and opened it I saw it said "for in vitro diagnostics only." Any thoughts?
Re: APRIL 2013 TTC
posted at 4/29/2013 9:58 AM EDT
Yes, you can trust them. That means that it is for use outside the body (opposite of in vivo). All home pregnancy tests are in vitro.
ETA: in vitro fertilization literally means fertilization that occurs outside the body, by the way.

Re: APRIL 2013 TTC
posted at 4/29/2013 10:21 AM EDT
no problem - I wondered if that was the source of your confusion because we obviously associate that phrase with ivf.
Actually, I've always wondered why they put that warning on there at all - would the "in vitro use only" warning make anyone say, "Whoops, in vitro! Good thing they told me before I stuck it up there."

Re: APRIL 2013 TTC

Haven't been able to get to the boards for a few days...
Kar, I agree with all your points. With the IVF I just feel like I have a little more control since they are actually implanting the fertilized eggs so I know there is that much higher a chance. It is likely completely irrational, though just how I feel. We have decided to go for it and see what happens.
KMMZ, how long did it take for your insurance approvals to come in? We submitted ours last week and wondering how long it might take. We go on vacation in early July so I am thinking I might postpone our IVF cycle assuming it's approved until we get back so I don't have to worry about it on vacation. I think I will talk to the doctor about the options of implanting less.
Re: APRIL 2013 TTC
posted at 5/1/2013 7:51 AM EDT
I was simply explaining that the "for in vitro use only" warning on the poas box means "do not stick the test in your body." That was my entire point.
trouble's question was essentially, "it says 'in vitro' so can I use it to test for pg if we didn't do in vitro fertilization?" Yes. The phrase "in vitro" can be used to describe anything done outside the body, in this case a pregnancy test you pee on instead of inserting somewhere. I'm glad you agree! LOL
this is not to be confused with my commenting on the likelihood of getting a bfp either way - I have no knowledge or opinion regarding that.

Wed - I had to jump through a lot of hoops for my insurance company. DH had to see a urologist and I had to see both a nutritionist and an anesthesiologist before they would approve anything. We were in the middle of an IUI cycle and got a call from the Dr that our insurance wouldn't cover the procedure because we didn't meet certain guidelines for IUI - it wasn't likely to succeed in their eyes based on certain outliers (DH's levels, my last blood test, etc). Then, once we finally saw everyone who they required us to see, we had to meet with the IVF educator to learn how to do the injections, then with our dr to clarify our expectations regarding implantation, etc. Because we stopped mid cycle, I had to wait until my next cycle started before we could start getting into with IVF. That was back in March. All in all, I think it took about two weeks to get everything settled with the specialists, then another week or so to get the approvals. We have Harvard Pilgrim and while I normally have zero complaints about them, the visit with the anesthesiologist was the last straw. Not even she understood why they were making me go see her about a month before retrieval. But, it was like "grit your teeth and get it over with", which we did.
I'm always super, super grateful for insurance, but never more so than this year. Between DH's myriad health issues, this IVF, and now I've been ordered off to physical therapy for my back, I would be destitute without it. It's so, so easy to see how a medical issue can bankrupt a family.
Good luck with it, and I say enjoy your vacation without all the IVF drama. If your insurance co is like mine, it will give you a date range that the cycle is good for. Mine's good until end of June.

Hi ladies,
It's been a while, just wanted to write in. So, I'm kind of at a loss right now. A few months back I explained how they had found a dermoid in my ovary...well, the whole situation has turned into a nightmare of sorts. Turns out, there is a mass in my abdomen "strangling" my appendix which is 3x the typical size and on the verge of rupture, they have also noted there is a "mass" (no longer dermoid cyst) on my right ovary and a mass blocking (or they think is blocking) my LEFT fallopian tube. Most likely cause = atypical aggressive endometriosis. Sweet.
So I'm having surgery on Friday to remove my appendix, probably a part of my intestine, and probably also one if not both of my fallopian tubes. I have two surgeons - one will be working on the intestinal stuff, the other on my reproductive system. They are going to see if my fallopian tubes are working before removing them, obviously, but she was explaining that once they stop working due to a mass (given it's endo) they can never be repaired. The mass on my ovary, unless it's easily visible, they are going to leave as to not disrupt my ovary as much as possible.
So, given that this is not endometrial cancer or "some weird lymphoma" as was also an idea thrown out - and this is endometriosis....the gyno surgeon informed me that the next few months will be the "most likely" opportunity for me to ever become pregnant because they will have cleaned out the endometriosis before it begins its regrowth. She also said I will likely only get pregnant through IVF which I was leaning towards anyway because of the clotting disease though now it seems like more of a certainty if I want to get pregnant at all.
So I guess I really really have to either jump in, or start thinking about other options (like adoption, surrogacy, or remaining childless). It's kind of crazy how I'm being forced to make this decision now, like right now.
I'm just having trouble dealing with everything, so I thought I'd write in. Any advice, insight etc is more than welcome. Like perhaps I know you were talking a lot about insurance above - do you think a diagnosis like this would allow me to even attempt IVF sooner rather than later? Any experience with that?
Re: APRIL 2013 TTC
posted at 5/1/2013 9:26 PM EDT
Fakin, I'm sorry you're dealing with ALL that and the ramifications thereof regarding making a ttc decision immediately. I can only imagine that your situation would be an approved reason for starting ivf immediately, but who can really predict what the insurance co will actually do. I hope the obvious right answer IS their answer if that's the route you decide on.
best wishes and hugs!!

Muhammad, animated by the spirit of antichrist, had the audacity to "tamper with the revelation of original sin." In so doing, Muhammad defaced the reverse side of that Gospel coin. To Muhammad's eternal demerit, he rejected any ontological flaw in himself and in mankind arising from the loss of supernatural grace, rejected any need in himself and mankind to be redeemed and saved, and rejected Jesus as "the source of grace," the sanctifying grace which heals mankind and saves it from the tragedy it inherited from Adam.

Published in Middle East
Keywords: Muhammad, antichrist, redemption, salvation, Jesus, original sin, original justice, sanctifying grace, Andrew M. Greenwell
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - As we discussed in our prior article on Muhammad, the Church warns that "[t]he doctrine of original sin is, so to speak, the 'reverse side' of the Good News that Jesus is the Savior of all men, that all need salvation and that salvation is offered to all through Christ. The Church, which has the mind of Christ, knows very well that we cannot tamper with the revelation of original sin without undermining the mystery of Christ." (CCC § 389)
Unfortunately, Muhammad, animated by the spirit of antichrist, had the audacity to "tamper with the revelation of original sin." In so doing, Muhammad defaced the reverse side of that Gospel coin. To Muhammad's eternal demerit, he rejected any ontological flaw in himself and in mankind arising from the loss of supernatural grace, rejected any need in himself and mankind to be redeemed and saved, and rejected Jesus as "the source of grace," the sanctifying grace which heals mankind and saves it from the tragedy it inherited from Adam.
As a result of Muhammad's errant guidance, in Islam there is no concept of "sanctifying grace," which is also known as "deifying grace" or "habitual grace." (CCC §§ 1999-2000, 2023-24) Sanctifying grace is a supernatural gift, given to us by the merciful God, which makes us sharers in a manner (by participation) in God's own nature. It is one of the most beautiful of gifts.
Sanctifying grace is what heals us of sin and saves us. It is what makes us new creatures in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:17) It is what makes us pleasing to God. (CCC 1992) In the beautiful words of the Council of Trent, sanctifying grace makes us to be even friends and domestics of God, as it takes us out of enmity into friendship, ex inimico amicus. (cf. Wis. 7:14; John 15:5) It is what makes us holy. It is the source of the infused cardinal virtues and theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is what obtains for us, through the merits of Jesus' passion and death on the Cross, eternal life. It is what makes us adopted "children of God," filii in filio, sons in the Son. (Rom. 8:15; 1 John 3:1) It is what makes us "sharers in the divine nature." (2 Pet. 1:4). It is in fact how God makes his abode in us as temples of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:23; 1 Cor. 6:19) It makes us joint heirs with Christ. (Rom. 8:17) It is what makes any of our acts pleasing to God. (1 Cor. 13:1-3) It confers supernatural brightness and beauty to the human soul, as the Roman Catechism puts it. It is, in short, the pearl of great price. (Matt. 13:46)
It is what Adam lost. It is what Jesus regained.
But Muhammad appears to have been oblivious to the concept of sanctifying grace. Muhammad knew not what Adam lost. He knew not what Jesus regained.
As Fr. Joseph Kenny, O.P. observes, "[i]n Islam there is none of the Christian 'new life,' 'regeneration,' or 'sanctifying grace.'" The reason for this is simple. In Muhammad's alleged revelations, there was no sanctifying grace that Adam lost as a result of his Fall (because he never had it). As a consequence, there is no sanctifying grace that Jesus needed to regain.
For Muhammad, Fr. Kenny states, "[t]here is only fitra, the natural man as God created him, distinguished only by piety (taqwa) or adherence by faith to the covenant (mithaq) with Adam and his descendants."
Oh Muhammad! How is it that you, who claimed to be a prophet, failed to hear the words of Jesus: "If only you knew the gifts of God"? (cf. John 4:10) How could you have been so blind to this foundational gift without which anything else is nothing? Are you not a blind guide, leading the blind, and if the blind lead the blind, do they not fall into the ditch? (Matt. 15:14)
In Muhammad's view, man was never a resident of a three-storied mansion of pure nature, preternature, and supernature, and was never promised a return to it after his eviction from it. For Muhammad, man was created by God in a basement, as is, where is. Man will stay in such a basement, and, other than an aloof fiat of forgiveness conditioned on submission to Allah and his supposed prophet Muhammad, can expect no more from Allah other than the promise of the temporal pleasures of a basement life extended ad infinitum in the Muslim Paradise (Jannah).
It follows from Muhammad's rejection of the doctrine of original sin that Muhammad failed to detect, or in some manner excused or justified, any endemic concupiscence within him (or he would have taught his followers concerning its reality). Indeed, one might recall, as we discussed in our earlier series "The Heart's Witness Against Muhammad," that Muhammad tended to match his impulses (even his lower impulses such as his desire for his daughter-in-law, Zaynab, or his Coptic slavewoman and concubine, Mariyah) with Allah's alleged will and I suppose his fitra.
Muhammad had the further audacity to believe himself--one who disbelieved in sanctifying grace and its central importance in making us holy--as the perfect exemplar of humanity, al-insan al-kamil, the best of all mankind, khair ul-bashar, and the perfect model of conduct, uswa hasana.
In short, he never realized he lived in a basement, so his morals are those of life in a basement, his law is the law of the basement, as is his alleged paradise.
(If you are not convinced about basement morals, explore the Muslim doctrine of taqiyya (deception), or nikah muta'a (temporary marriages), or violence as a legitimate means of spreading the faith (jihad).)
Since Muhammad had no concept of sanctifying grace, something clearly beyond man's capacity to merit or to earn, Muhammad believed that he and by extension all humans could make themselves acceptable to God by works. In particular, this was done by the following of a law he devised which, like Muhammad himself, had no divine warrant: the Shari'a.
Shari'a is nothing but Muhammad writ large, just as Muhammad might be said to be Shari'a writ small. Just as Muhammad is antichrist personalized, so the Shari'a is antichrist institutionalized, socialized, and politicized.
What this means, is that Islam by its own admission institutionalizes or confirms man in his original sin.
More, in one fell swoop, Muhammad took a huge leap backward in man's relationship God: from an aera sub gratia, which the Lord so graciously initiated, back to an aera sub lege. From an era of grace, Muhammad brought his followers back to an era of law.
But the refusal of grace and the return to law was not a return to the law of Moses which came from God, had some pedagogical value (cf. Gal. 3:24), was a gift that is in a manner irrevocable (Rom. 11:29), and leads and testifies to Christ and is fulfilled in Christ (Matt. 5:17).
No. Rather, Muhammad's promulgated a a law foreign to God and one which (as we have seen) leads away from Christ. This is arguably the most antichristian kernel of Islam: the rejection of grace and the re-injection of law. It constitutes a flight from the Gospel, an anti-Gospel.
Muhammad's error is found in his version of the story of Adam and Eve in the Qur'an and in the Sunna.
The Qur'an relates the story of Adam and his wife (curiously, it does not mention Eve by name) in in various places (2:30-39; 7:11-25; 15:26-48; 17:61-65; 18:50-53; 20:115-126; 38:71-88) and appears superficially similar to the narrative in Genesis. However, it is clear that as traditionally interpreted it rejects the concept of original sin.
The Qur'an places the first couple in Paradise. God commands them not to eat of "this tree," but they are tempted and tricked by the Devil (Iblis, evidently, a corruption of the Greek diabolos). "So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: 'Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy unto you?'" (Qur'an 7:22). They, and their progeny, are debarred from Paradise. Importantly, Adam and Eve ask Allah for forgiveness, and they receive it, as "his Lord turned towards him, for he is oft-returning, most merciful." (Qur'an 7:23, 2:37; see also 20:122)
There is no mention of the "protoevangelium" of Genesis 3:15 in the Qur'an narrative dealing with Adam and Eve. There is no promise of Mary or of Jesus or of any Redeemer. There is no "It (or he, or she) will crush your head and you will strike its heel." In the Qur'an, Allah does not promise a Redeemer. He forgives Adam and Eve by fiat, painlessly, without ever sullying his divine transcendence, by mere decree.
While the Qur'anic narrative is similar to the narrative in Genesis, there is this significant theological difference. Islam understands that the sin of Adam and his wife were personal to them alone. Islam maintains that mankind is unaffected by the sin of Adam and his wife. Accordingly, humans are born innocent, pure, and sufficiently free so that sin can be easily avoided by their own efforts.
In Islam, theologically, Adam's fall means nothing.
Since man is not affected by Adam's sin, all men and women are born in a state of fitra. As the authoritative ahadith put it: "Every new-born child is born in a state of fitra." Sahih Muslim 33.6426 and Sahih al-Bukhari 6.60.298.
Fitra is a central concept in Islam, as essential as the concepts of original justice and original sin in Christianity. It is sometimes touted by Muslims as the doctrine of "original goodness" or "original righteousness."
One must remember, however, that this "original goodness" or "original righteousness" is the goodness of the man of the basement, and nothing more. In this sense, it is not substantially different from the Catholic notion that man, though fallen, is not totally depraved. In fact, the Qur'an recognizes that there is weakness (da'if) in human nature.
But the entire Catholic structure is that grace builds upon nature, and that nature alone cannot save mankind. There is no similar concept in Islam.
Fitra may be defined as the innate natural disposition which exists at birth in all human beings, the natural constitution of man. In Islam, fitra is entirely unaffected by the sin of Adam. In the view of Islam, therefore, human nature therefore stands in no need of redemption or cure--it requires no restoration to a state of health (salus in Latin) or salvation. It has no need for a supernatural component, such as sanctifying grace, to complete it or to perfect it.
Fitra includes the notion that all men are naturally born Muslim, an intellectually indigestible and highly implausible doctrine. It seems that we are all Muslims now, and that it is only the misguidance of parents or one's social setting that spoil the nature of the child and make him a Jew, a Christian, or Zoroastrian, or polytheist, or whatever. In other words, according to the Muslim concept of fitra, man is not predisposed to sin (as a result of original sin), but rather man is disposed to Islam (as a result of original righteousness).
Man's obligations to Allah are therefore more a result of forgetfulness or heedlessness (al-ghafla), than the result of a fundamental absence of supernatural life and a natural life that requires repair. Man needs only to be reminded of this negligence, and that is why the Qur'an as the divine revelation is called the reminder (zikr).
It is for this reason that Islam is often touted by Muslims as the din al-fitrah, the religion of human nature. Muslim commentators frequently say "fitra is Islam." The Muslim is taught to believe that Islam, including some of its more bizarre manifestations, is in perfect accord with human nature. "'Set your face to the religion of Islam (din) in sincerity which is Allah's fitra upon which He created mankind. There is no changing the creation of Allah. That is the right religion (din) but most people know not." Qur'an 30:30
The notion of fitra involves the worship of one God (tawhid), but it is also strangely mundane.
Included in the notion of fitra are the "five acts" or "ten acts" of fitra (the ahadith are inconsistent) which include: circumcision, shaving the pubes (istihdad), cutting the nails, plucking the hair under the armpits, letting the beard grow, clipping the mustache, using the tooth-stick (siwak), cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, cleansing one's private parts with water (after defecating or urinating), and possibly rinsing the mouth. See, e.g., Sahih Muslim 2.11.495 and Sahih Muslim 2.11.502.
It is difficult, nay, impossible, to believe the Muslim theological proposition that, if left to ourselves, we would naturally gravitate to worshiping a God with dubious credentials named Allah by hitting our heads on the ground multiple times a day to the point of getting calluses or prayer bumps (zabiba), engaging in constant ritual washing (wudu), and developing the burning penchant to shave our heads, wear white clothing, and go to Mecca to circumambulate the Ka'ba at least once in our lives.
No, pace Muhammad, I am quite certain that that sort of stuff does not come from fitra, but rather you have to put that into a man by indoctrination.
Apparently also, somewhere deep down within us (I must have forgotten about it or been neglectful of it and I need someone to remind me of it), there is the primordial yearning to shave our pubic hair, pluck our armpit hair, and wash our finger joints, and possibly rinse our mouths (though presumably with water, and never with beer or wine or a nice Kentucky bourbon).
Maybe it is just my shirk is showing, but I simply cannot get myself to believe that God sent Muhammad to remind me to shave my pubic hair and pluck my armpits, and not to tell me anything about sanctifying grace.
The upshot of Muhammad's erroneous concept of human nature, of original sin, and of his ignorance of supernatural sanctifying grace is that all the Muslim ablutions, his ritual washings (wudu) tied to his bismillahs and shahadas--as impressive as they are from a natural perspective--are, from a supernatural perspective, worth nothing.
They are worth nothing compared to three drops of water tied to the words, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen." That is the foundation of the spiritual and supernatural life.
The difference between wudu and baptism is the difference between life in a basement, and life in a three-storied mansion. It is, quite possibly (caveat! only God judges the soul of the individual Muslim who may be in a state of invincible ignorance) the difference between hell and heaven. It is the difference between nature and supernatural grace. It is the difference between Muhammad and Jesus. It is the difference between antichrist and Christ.

FF Nuvo® supports 82 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, German and French in Latin, Other, and Cyrillic scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)
FF Nuvo is a contemporary sans with vertical contrast. However, certain characters have a calligraphic touch, especially a, g and y. The typeface offers several alternate characters – e.g., a, g, k, s, y – for added typographic versatility in text.
Designer Siegfried Rückel developed the concept for FF Nuvo during a stay in Paris, after being inspired by elegant, extravagant appearance of French magazine typography. He wanted to design a rounded typeface, without resorting to the common methods. So, he took advantage from the visual limitations of our eyes: stroke endings in FF Nuvo appear soft when seen from a distance, or in small point sizes, but reveal their peculiar forms at a closer look. FF Nuvo is a very suitable choice for magazine design, from headlines down to longer texts, as well as for advertising, packaging, or corporate design.
In 2011, a new monospaced family was added: FF Nuvo Mono. This variant has the same number of fonts and features as the original FF Nuvo, including Small Caps, Italics, etc. FF Nuvo Mono offers a fresh option for a range of design applications, from the traditional to the unusual. FF Nuvo Mono has a slightly lower x-height than the letters in FF Nuvo, to better emphasize the typewriter character.

Donor Profile: Mike and Shelly Fliehe
AMES, Iowa - Mike Fliehe graduated from Iowa State in 1996 with a bachelor's degree in accounting. His wife Shelly graduated that same year, in accounting and management information systems. Mike grew up in Logan, Iowa and went to school at Logan-Magnolia High School before attending ISU. He currently resides with his wife in Minneapolis, Minn., as they both work for the global company Ernst and Young. The couple has two future Cyclones at home – Sam is 3 years old, and Casey 3 months.
Q: Why did you join the Cyclone Club?
A: "When I went to school at Iowa State I was a student intern for the athletics communications department. My interest in Cyclone athletics really started when I began working there. I could interact with everything going on in Iowa State sports. I worked there from 1993 to 1996, which was my sophomore year up until I graduated. I helped with everything from gameday setup to writing media guides to taking stats."
"Working there also created some opportunities for me in college. I was able to travel with the men's basketball team down to Kansas City for the Big Eight Tournament in 1996. That year Iowa State was responsible for media relations at the tournament. It was one of the greatest experiences, because we won that tournament, and it was also the last Big Eight Tournament ever played."'
"Since I have graduated one of the things that has kept me involved is the Cyclone Club. I live in Minneapolis, so up here it is Big Ten country. I look at Cyclones.com everyday and that really allows me to keep up on Iowa State athletics. It is great because I have the ability to watch games online, whether it be football, basketball, or volleyball. If it's not televised on ESPN, then I am fortunate to watch it on the internet."
Q: When did you attend your very first Iowa State athletic event?
A:"When I was about 6 years old my parents brought me to a football game. It would have been around 1978, and I have made it back for plenty of games since that day. My parents would bring me up to quite a few games as a child and I remember looking up to those players so much. Currently I am a part of the Captains level of the Cyclone Club and continue to attend as many games as I possibly can."
Q: What was your most memorable game that you attended as a Cyclone fan?
A: "My freshman year in college (1992) we beat Nebraska at home in football. I remember that game so well because my dad was a big Husker fan and he came up for the game. All of those years rooting against each other in football games – (the Iowa State win) made up for it right then and there. The greatest play in that game was when "Marvelous" Marv Seiler had that long run down towards the endzone."
"There were so many good basketball games throughout the years as well. The Kansas game (1995) when Fred Hoiberg erupted for 32 pts, and had 17 in a row, was amazing. That is one game that sticks out in my mind. It didn't matter how big the school was coming in, because we had a chance to beat any team with how loud Hilton Coliseum could get."
Q: What was your favorite Cyclone road trip?
A: "Some of the greatest victories were when we beat Iowa in Kinnick Stadium. I was there in 2000 when J.J. Moses had the end around for the touchdown on the very first play of the game. Also I made the trip to Iowa City when we beat them two years later with Seneca (Wallace). That play where he threw out of the endzone to Jack Whitver is something that I will never forget. Sporting events are all about the atmosphere – and I remember Kinnick Stadium just getting completely silent during that game."
"Watching Seneca Wallace play football was incredible. I know that he made it across that pylon against Florida State in 2002. That was really a defining moment; the fact that we could play on that stage against that caliber team. It was great that we could take that game to the end, and it really showed people that Iowa State could play against anyone."
"I feel like every time that I went on the road we would lose. When our football team was ranked ninth in the country (2002) I went down to the Oklahoma game. We lost that game badly, and it's funny because I had tickets to the next week's game in Texas and cancelled that trip quickly. I was there in Lawrence, Kansas when we had a chance to win the Big 12 North in football (2005). I have seen a lot of great games on the road, but nothing compares to the atmosphere in Hilton Coliseum or Jack Trice Stadium."
Q: Name some of your favorite players and coaches for Iowa State?
A: "(Former basketball coach) Johnny Orr was so good with the crowd; he could really connect with the fans. I would say he is probably my favorite coach of all time."
"Jeff Hornacek was amazing; I loved watching him play in the NBA for the Jazz. He was one of those guys that didn't have the most talent in the world, but just stuck with it to the end. He turned out to be a very good player in the NBA."
"I remember I was in some of the same classes in college with Fred Hoiberg. He was probably one of the most humble guys on campus. He was always in class, took his studies seriously, and was a great role model for everyone. And oh yeah, he was "the Mayor," one of the best players to come out of Iowa State."

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- A new Society of Actuaries study finds that health insurers will pay nearly one-third more on claims under the Affordable Care Act.
The research organization came to the conclusion after it studied the law's effect on individual health policies.
The group does project that costs will actually decrease in some states, but the majority will see big increases.
The Obama administration challenged the design of the study, saying it does not give a full picture and ignores the law's cost reduction strategies.

A nipple piercing is a body piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple. It can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or, less often, vertically. It is also possible to place multiple piercings on top of one another. The perforation of the nipple to apply jewelry has been practiced by various people throughout history, male and female. Why do people get their nipples pierced you ask? Most men and women claim an increase in sensitivity and arousal after having their nipples pierced. As a result there has been a reported increase of men and women requesting this procedure.
While there are not many potential complications some people have noted that they can take up to a year and a half to heal fully. The nipple is typically fleshy enough to pierce securely behind plenty of skin to prevent rejection. However, if the nipple jewelry gauge is too thin or the piercing is not deep enough to begin with, there is a risk of rejection. Certain complications can make rejection more likely, such as metal allergies, infections, or excessive pulling/tugging. If your nipples are sore during the healing process, an ice pack can do wonders. If you don't have an ice pack, a package of small frozen vegetables like peas or corn works really well. Also salt water soaks will provide comfort to a sore nipple piercing. Most nipples will rest comfortably in a small cup of salt water, so this can be done easily while watching TV, reading a book or relaxing. Soak each pierced nipple for about 5 minutes and then rinse well. During the day or for an easier solution you can simply use the H20cean Piercing Aftercare Spray which is made for piercing aftercare.
To avoid any complications you will need to care for your piercing! First you need to soak the piercing in an epsom salt water solution for about 5-10 minutes. Once you've soaked the piercing you will need to properly clean and disinfect the area. Wipe away all the dry and dead skin, then apply liquid soap on a q-tip or cotton ball and gently clean the area. Rinse the area well and be sure to get all the soap off. After you've soaked and thoroughly cleaned your piercing, you can finish with the saline solution. Squirt the entire piercing with the saline and then rotate your piercing very carefully to prevent the skin growing to the piercing. You will also need to make sure your nipples stay off limits until healed so as to not suffer setbacks.
Nipple piercing jewelry can come in a variety of choices! One of which is barbells, which includes straight barbells, circular barbells, curved barbell, and spirals. You may also choose to wear a ring which could be a fixed ring, or a captive ring. A few other choices are stirrups, shields, collars, whirls, rounders, clamps, discs, spirals, covers, caps, and swings. With so many choices how do you choose? Well its really a matter of personality and what you find attractive! Don't limit yourself be open to different options! Just make sure the material they are made from is safe! Usually you want to stick with Surgical Steel, Gold, Hybrids, or Titanium, some others that are commonly used are , blackline, and acrylic pieces.
A common question that comes up for women is, will nipple piercings affect the ability to breastfeed? There is no evidence that pierced nipples will affect your ability to breastfeed. Your breasts will still produce adequate milk for your baby. Each nipple has between fifteen and twenty tiny nipple pores that the milk comes out of, so even if some were damaged, there should be plenty left for nursing. However there is always the chance of complications that are not the norm, and can not be accounted for so it is each woman's decision.
There however are several complications resulting from nursing with nipple jewelry inserted can include poor latch, slurping, gagging, and milk leaking from the baby's mouth. So it is best to remove nipple piercings before breastfeeding. Most body piercing Professionals however will refuse to pierce a pregnant woman because piercing causes stress on the body that could potentially complicate a pregnancy.
By following these guidelines and your piercers advice you should be able to avoid complications and enjoy your piercings to the fullest!

RIVERDALE, Ga. -- Julius Ryan Thomas was taken into custody in Providence, Rhode Island on Thursday, and is awaiting extradition back to Clayton County.
The suspect, according to the United States Marshal Service, is being held at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections.
Thomas faces charges of felony murder, false statements, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
Clayton County Police obtained warrants on Wednesday for Thomas, who is the second suspect involved in the murder of a taxi cab driver.
Clayton County Police Officer Daniella Rosa said Thomas was wanted for the January shooting death of Rosendo Casarrubias. He faces charges of murder, making false statements and conspiracy.
On Jan. 25, police were dispatched to a suspicious vehicle on Brookview Drive in Riverdale. When officers arrived, they found Casarrubias dead from a gunshot to his head, Rosa said.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your overwhelming support in the November election. I will continue to do my best to represent every resident in District 3.
Broward County keeps moving forward and I hope that 2013 will continue on that path. Our unemployment numbers are below the State of Florida and national average, in part because Broward County is putting people to work. We are expanding Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with a new runway and updated terminals. We are building a new County Courthouse, too. I'm proud to say I led the initiative on both of those projects and construction is underway.
My overall goal on the County Commission is to make the quality of life for all Broward residents ideal for everyone, from young families to retirees. Over my next four years in office, I plan to make a new Convention Center hotel one of my top priorities, further increasing local tourism and putting even more local people back to work. I appreciate any constructive and creative suggestions that you have as we move forward together.
Broward County is looking for volunteers to help count the homeless. The survey will be conducted on Thursday, January 24 and Friday, January 25. Every homeless person in the County will be asked to complete a survey which will help Broward County get state and federal grants to aid them.
There are no specific requirements to volunteer except for concern and compassion for persons experiencing homelessness. If you don't think you would be comfortable walking and interacting with persons living on the street, there are other areas where you can help.
You can find information online or call Kathy Wint at 954-233-1300.

O'Bryan picked for Lake Denoon
Muskego - Once again, the Muskego-Norway School District looked within when it needed to find an administrator.
The School Board on Monday appointed Mill Valley Elementary School Principal Linda O'Bryan to be the new principal of Lake Denoon Middle School. O'Bryan, who has been with the district since 1984, will succeed Ryan Oertel who was moved up to principal of Muskego High School two weeks ago.
The district has been promoting administrators in a kind of leapfrog fashion to fill openings that started with Superintendent Joe Schroeder resigning at the end of this month to become associate executive director of the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators.
Moving into his slot is Assistant Superintendent Kelly Thompson and the School Board moved Muskego High School Principal Dennis Bussen into her spot.

Roundup of Memorial Day events in suburban Milwaukee and Lake Country
There are many programs, parades and events on Memorial Day in suburban Milwaukee and Lake Country to honor those who lost their lives serving our country.
Here's a roundup of events on the Monday, May 30, federal holiday:
West holds off Eisenhower, 7-6, to win regional softball title
It couldn't have more appropriate to have New Berlin West's star pitcher Cheyenne Sowinski face Eisenhower's star catcher Ali Nowak with the bases loaded, two outs in the top of the seventh, with West leading, 7-6, in the WIAA Regional Championship game.
Nowak swung but got under the ball a little too much and after it fell into the glove of centerfielder Maddie Minik the Vikings celebrated while Nowak covered her eyes and tried to hold back the tears as she played her final game for the Lions.
Very rarely when these teams play is there a runaway game, which did happen when West won the first meeting, 6-1, on April 12. But Eisenhower rallied May 19 to score twice in the seventh to take a 4-3 win.
Slow start
This game was scoreless for two innings before Meagan Loewus had an infield hit, Nowak walked and Erica Buechel was safe on a bunt when the Vikings threw to late to third. Riley Rossbach, who had 4 of the Lions' 6 RBIs, singled to right to score Loewus. But then Sowinski fanned the next three hitters to get out of the inning.» Read Full Article
Orange barrels promise better roadways in New Berlin, Muskego
It's spring and the construction barrels are popping up like tulips on area thoroughfares.
This year, Waukesha County will repave four sections of College Avenue the border between between Muskego and New Berlin.
The county has not set timeline for the projects, just that the process starts in June. And once started, each section will take a week at the most and will not result in any road closures.
The 2016 Muskego budget for the roadway improvement is $700,000. Every road in the city is evaluated every other year and assigned a condition rating that is then used to help establish priorities.
While complete information is available for county projects, only incomplete information is available on Muskego and New Berlin projects for this year (see the corresponding numbers on the map):» Read Full Article
Parkland Mall redevelopment ready to go ahead after getting sixth vote
Muskego — After the expected approval by a joint review board of city, county, school and technical college officials Wednesday, June 1, the controversial residential and retail redevelopment of the former Parkland Mall property is expected to go forward, with tenants moving into the first high-end apartments next spring.
The project won a supermajority on the Muskego Common Council last week. Six out of Muskego's seven aldermen voted for the crucial rezoning. A supermajority was needed because neighbors objecting to many aspects of the proposal petitioned, under state law, for more than a simple majority in the rezoning vote.
Construction of the first four-story, 90-unit apartment building is expected to start this summer. The plan's two other apartment buildings have to wait until construction begins on the retail section of the plan.
The project, Parkland Towne Center, will be built on 10.8 acres on Janesville Road between Lannon and Parkland drives. Much of the site will be take up by the three apartment buildings, but a grocery story and three smaller retail buildings also would be built.
The apartment buildings have been approved and the common council has approved establishing a tax incremental finance district to make financing work.» Read Full Article
Muskego Plan Commission recommends controversial Parkland apartments
With modifications made to ease the visual impact of three four-story apartments on single-family homes and condominiums next door, the Muskego Plan Commission on Monday recommended approval of the controversial apartments to the common council.
The council will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 25, in the city hall to vote on a rezoning for the project proposed for the former Parkland Mall property on Janesville Road between Lannon and Parkland drives. A super majority of six votes on the seven-member council is needed to approve the rezoning. One alderman is adamantly opposed and another said that he planned to vote against the rezoning also, based on constituent feedback he received to that point.
The development is dubbed the Parkland Towne Center, with a grocery store and three smaller retail buildings proposed along with the three four-story apartment buildings with a total of 90 units.

New Berlin West wins third conference title in six years
New Berlin Eisenhower couldn't share the Woodland West Division title with crosstown rival New Berlin West, but a win over the Vikings on May 19 would give them a split of the season series.
It took the Lions until the bottom of the seventh inning, when they rallied to score two runs to nip West, 4-3, to finish the regular season with a 12-4 record in league play. West won the title with a 13-3 record, also winning the title in 2011 and 2012. They also went to state in 2013.
"We went through a little rebuilding but are set up strong for the next few years," West coach Greg Klotz said. "Before that, it was 1986 when we went 25 years without a title."
The win was huge for the Lions.
"The girls were looking forward to playing them (West) again," Eisenhower coach Jeff Setz said. "The win should give them a boost in confidence if we meet in the postseason."» Read Full Article

New Berlin Eisenhower's baseball team is coming off a 16-14 record and a 10-6 record in the Woodland West Division.
Coach Mike Vahovick will be returning eight letter winners, and that is a source of optimism for the Lions.

Ex-West Bend official waives hearing in child prostitution case
The former West Bend city administrator charged last month with soliciting sex from a 16-year-old girl waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday.
Thomas M. "T.J." Justice, 49, appeared in Waukesha County Circuit Court and with his attorney, Steve Kohn.
Court Commissioner Thomas Pieper set Justice's next court appearance, an arraignment, for June 9.
According to the criminal complaint, the girl's mother found messages on her daughter's phone and contacted police, who then posed as the girl on her phone and continued an often salacious text dialogue with Justice, who seemed bent on having sex with the girl even after he learned she was only 16.
Police arrested Justice April 21 in Muskego near a Dairy Queen where an officer, posing as the girl, suggested they finally meet. He resigned from his West Bend post a short time later.

|MMH to continue community outreach and education efforts
|Written by Chris Lee
Community outreach and education will continue with East Phillips County Hospital District board members.
During their regular meeting Tuesday, Feb. 28, board members discussed who would visit organizations around the area to hold another round of informational question and answer sessions.
Board members reached out to the community last year and felt it went very well. They hope to continue and expand upon that success.
Board members schedule visits to area companies and organizations to have an informal informational session providing info about the hospital. There is time allowed for questions to be asked of the board members.
The community linkages committee is conducting these sessions to find out what people are talking about, as well as providing valuable information related to the hospital district.
Administrator reports activity
Hospital administrator John Ayoub reported newly hired Family Nurse Practitioner Deaun Carpenter has been seeing patients and is fitting in really well. He said she has been received well by patients.
Ayoub noted March is colon rectal cancer awareness month and the specialty clinic is really spearheading the charge of encouraging people to get screenings done and become educated on the topic.
The administrator also noted the specialty clinic set a record during the second week of February. One hundred six patients were seen throughout eight clinics. It was reported that number is nearly double the normal average.
Ayoub said an on-site NextGen training session was held recently for the electronic medical records system. He feels they are making great progress and everyone is working together nicely. He also said Haxtun went live with its EMR system last Tuesday. They are using the same group and team MMH is using to get its records off the ground.
Flu season hit really late this year, according to Ayoub. "It came on like a hurricane," the administrator said. He noted they were really busy for a few weeks but things have slowed down a bit as of last Tuesday.
There is always that chance a second wave will hit, so people are encouraged to keep themselves healthy by washing hands, staying hydrated, using vitamins and getting rest.
With the health fair just around the corner, Ayoub said the blood drawing has gone super well. They have seen a big wave of people utilizing the draws early on and hope the turnout at the health fair March 24 will be the same.
A question concerning the new digital mammogram machine was raised. Ayoub said in January they had two days where they conducted 14 procedures. "I've heard nothing but good things," Ayoub said.
Other business
In other business Feb. 28, board members:
—held a 16-minute executive session for personnel matters.
—approved credentialing for Lyle Barksdale, John Wright, Betsy Bronson, Thomas Neveldine and Jessica Langdoc.

i was a bit wary of buying a mask online i couldnt try on, but this mask was an excellent fit. it gels nicely to larger faces (when one doesnt put on sunscreen), and i think my stray hair was responsible for it fogging up more than i liked. (tried soap, toothpaste, and defog s, all of which worked for about the first 10 minutes and then i had to defog again). i could have tightened it up alot more for a better seal but was only doing short snorkel trips and liked not getting a headache/hairache from the straps. the best part is we got the clear one, so you can see everything in every direction without the mask obstructing your view at all. i tried my old mask a few times and it now feels clastrauphobic in comparison. it adapted to my old snorkels too without any problem. the price was really good too (on sale and discounted), so i wasnt expecting very much, but the value was excellent. plus the case it comes with was perfect for stashing cookies and fruit from the buffet. hee.

These 3 little super heavy duty ziplock bags were excellent for cameras, keys, and can fit a couple of passports or cards and cash if you need them too... the question then becomes where does one put them? Were snorkelling enthusiasts and I have plenty of room in a bathing suit to stash them, but if you wear a bikini you cant really take them out with you. An eyelet or loop on them so you could attach them to you would have been very useful, but thats a bit much to expect from a 2.50cent baggie (I think they were 3 for 6$ or something?) Anyway, they came in handy in and out of the water and after 2 weeks of heavy use in Jamaica are all still water tight and good to go. I assume the plastic will eventually wear down or get punctured, but we found them FAR more useful than more fancy and bulkier dry gear boxes. Highly recommend taking some along on any trip!

TAYLOR, Mich. - Taylor police Corporal Matthew Edwards was killed July 23, 2010 while responding to reports of a burglary in progress at an apartment complex.
The man who is accused of murdering Edwards will spend the rest of his life in prison. However, claims of the fallen officer's shotgun being stolen have cost another officer his job.
Taylor police conducted an internal investigation which, they say, shows Taylor police officer Andrew Voelker stole Edwards' shotgun from the Taylor Police Department. At this moment, it's unclear why.
Wayne County prosecutors have charged Voelker with multiple felony counts. Local 4 spoke with Voelker on Monday at his home. He said he would love to tell his side of the story but, on advice from his attorney, he is keeping his mouth shut.
"He is innocent and I expect him to be exonerated," said his attorney, Jim Amberg. "He's a good, hard-working family man and he's been wrongfully accused."

Overtime Loss To Trade Tech Latest Men's Basketball Setback
For the second straight home game, the Pasadena City College men's basketball team watched a sure win turn into a head-shaking loss. The Lancers led visiting and South Coast Conference North Division last-place Los Angeles Trade Tech for nearly the entire 40 minutes of regulation play
Despite being ahead by five points with 1:25 left, the Lancers couldn't finish off the Beavers, who rallied to send it to overtime, 71-71, on a Bryan Sears' layup with 18 seconds remaining. LA Trade Tech turned to Jordan Watson, who scored six of his game-high 31 points in the five-minute OT period to defeat PCC, 84-77, Friday night at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
The Lancers held a commanding 39-26 lead by halftime, but had no answers in defending Watson and his array of put-back layups and short jumpers. He scored 21 of his points in the final 25 minutes.
PCC was paced by Mike Swanegan with 21 points, including six 3-point bombs. Center Lorelle Martin added 17 points and seven rebounds while guard Evan Brooks picked up 10 points off the bench. Chris Smith chipped in five points, six rebounds and a team-high eight assists in a reserve role. All four players are sophomores.
Freshman guard Steven Shares showed spark with seven points, four steals and three assists.
The Lancers dropped to 7-17 overall and 3-8 in conference games while LA Trade Tech is 5-20 and 2-10 in the SCC.
In six home games, PCC has played one 1-point game (a loss), three games decided by only four points each (2-1 record), and the OT loss to the Beavers.
The Lancers close out the 2012-2013 season next week when they host El Camino College-Compton Center on Wednesday, Feb. 20 and play at East Los Angeles College on Friday, Feb. 22. Both games have 7 p.m. tip-offs.
