Is it My Fault? proclaims the gospel of healing and hope to victims who know too well the depths of destruction and the overwhelming reality of domestic violence.
At least one in every three women have been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in their lifetime. The effects of domestic violence are physical, social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, and can have long-lasting distressing consequences. It is common for victims of domestic violence to suffer from ongoing depression and recurring nightmares, self-harm, such as cutting, panic attacks, substance abuse, and more.
This book exists to address the abysmal issues of domestic violence using the powerful and transforming biblical message of grace and redemption. Is It My Fault? convincingly shows that the Lord is the only one who can heal the despairing victim. It deals with this devastating problem and sin honestly and directly without hiding its prevalence today.

Deliver Us from Evil
Domestic abuse looks different in different households.
Sometimes the abuse is physical, and hitting, shouting, or hair pulling are a regular part of your home. Other times, the abuser won't ever lay a hand on you—but you will be shamed, called names, and manipulated. Maybe you think you did something to spur him on, or that you were too passive or too demanding, or that you are somehow, in some way, to blame for the abuse you are experiencing.
Your experience of domestic abuse may be very different than someone else's, but no matter what, one truth stands the same for all: It is never your fault.
No matter what kind of abuse you have experienced, there is nothing you can do, nothing you can say, nothing you think that makes you deserving of it. There is no mistake you could have made and no sin you could have committed to make you deserving of violence.
You do not deserve this. And it is never your fault.
You did not ask for this. You should not be silenced. You are not worthless. You do not have to pretend like nothing happened. You are not damaged goods, forgotten or ignored by God, or "getting what you deserve."
But you are created in the image of God. You should be treated with dignity, love, and respect, but instead you are or were the victim of abuse and violence, and it was wrong. You were sinned against.
If you're still not convinced, listen to the opinion of domestic violence expert Lundy Bancroft: "Abuse is not caused by relationship dynamics. You can't manage your partner's abusiveness by changing your behavior, but he wants you to think that you can." Situations of domestic violence are often extremely difficult to deal with, because abusers are often masters of control and manipulation.
If you are in a situation of domestic abuse or think you might be, there's a few things you need to know. First, the abuse is not your fault. Second, while you may feel drained, depressed, frightened, ashamed, and confused, you are not alone. And third, help is available to you.
Maybe the abuse isn't physical—that doesn't mean it's not abuse. Most abuse cases begin with emotional, verbal, and other non-physical forms of abuse and then escalate to physical forms. Or maybe the abuse has been going on for a while and shows no sign of becoming physical.
It might seem as though "violence" is too intense of a word to describe the kind of abuse that's "only" emotional. Here's what theologian Hans Boersma has to say about that: "Violence need not necessarily be physical. Emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse—and at times even more so." Ethicist Wolfgang Huber argues that violence is better defined as the intent to hurt or torture, more than physical injury.
The fact that your abuse doesn't send you to the hospital or leave scars doesn't make it any less painful, and it doesn't make it any less wrong. The scars of emotional abuse are very real, they can run very deep, and they are not to be dismissed. In fact, emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse—sometimes even more so (we'll talk about this more in chapter 4).
Violence seems like an intense word. But that is exactly what the experience of domestic violence is. There is both physical and nonphysical violence. Augustinian Friar Donald X. Burt defines a violent act as "any act which contravenes the rights of another. It can also be described as an act which causes injury to the life, property, or person of a human being, oneself, or others." Leo. D. Lefebure, a professor at Georgetown University, offers a helpful definition of violence as "the attempt of an individual or group to impose its will on others through any nonverbal, verbal, or physical means that inflict psychological or physical injury."
Naming domestic violence for what it is—and dealing with it as such—is important for this essential reason: the abuse usually gets worse. Infrequent episodes usually progress to more frequent ones. Less severe episodes usually progress to more severe ones. Domestic abuse often escalates from threats and verbal abuse to physical violence. And while physical injury may be the most obvious danger, the emotional and psychological consequences of domestic abuse are also severe.
If you're reading this and see signs that you are in an abusive relationship, we applaud you for having the courage to name what you are experiencing, to call it what it is, and to begin seeking a better way. Because the truth is, you were made for more than this. God loves you and it grieves Him to see you suffer this abuse—whatever it might look like. We applaud you for picking up this book in the first place, which is nothing less than an act of courage.
And we sincerely hope and pray you will next act on that courage by removing yourself from the abuse. This isn't about mustering up more courage to stay with him and continue to put yourself in harm's way. No, this is about courage to do what's best for you by fleeing the abuse altogether, in order to find a physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe place. This is our greatest hope for you.
Of course the process of getting to that safe place will be complicated and multi-layered. Because as long as you are in a relationship with an abusive person, the abuse will not simply go away on its own. You don't need to confront him alone, because what you most need is to be safe and we will provide several strategies for this. We will be also very straightforward with you about the sort of dangers you will risk when you break off an abusive relationship so that you know what you will have to watch out for (or, if you are a friend or loved one, what you can help guard against).
The process of getting to that safe place may sound frightening or even impossible at this point, but to stay poses an even greater risk to you and your children, if you have them.
The pain is real, but the healing and hope is just as real. We are convinced, because the Bible teaches it and experience confirms it, that "God is the God of Life, the one who redeems. Our faith teaches us that out of suffering, loss, and death, God brings life." God protects and delivers His people from suffering, abuse, and violence.
Jesus would not have taught us to ask God to "Deliver us from evil," if it were not possible.
This truth comes from the Lord's Prayer, which is one of the most well-known passages in the Bible. Here is a traditional version found in Matthew 6:9-13:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
We're going to spend a minute on this prayer because it is familiar to a lot of Christians and explains why we believe God offers hope—concrete hope—for victims of domestic violence (more on this in chapter 9).
Some of the prayer seems, well, just spiritual. When we pray for God to be honored, to forgive our sins, or to deliver us from temptation, it can seem like we are asking for things to happen on some special spiritual plane apart from the real world. After all, how can we tangibly tell if God is honored?
But then the other half of the prayer asks for concrete, visible things. God's will on earth. Daily bread. And finally—and for us, most importantly—deliverance from evil. These are reminders that God's power extends to the everyday realm and that He is active in our lives.
Not all of the people we meet are trustworthy. Not all of the environments we live in are trustworthy. The ordinary, everyday world is filled with evil and fraught with temptation. This portion of the Lord's Prayer, then, is about asking God to bolster our faith, to give us strength, and to save us from evil and its effects—violence, affliction, and suffering.
This, by the way, is a prayer our heavenly Father loves to answer yes to. The Lord's Prayer addresses God as Abba—the word used by Jewish children for their earthly fathers. Praying to God as "Our Father" conveys the authority, warmth, and intimacy of a loving father's care. "Our Father" is also "in heaven," reminding believers of God's sovereign rule over all things—including the things that we fear the most. And not only that, but our loving and powerful Abba wants to and is able to deliver us from evil. An incredible thought!
Of course, the thought of calling God "Father" is not a comforting one for some. Many have experienced not love from their earthly fathers, but abuse. And for those with this experience, to see God through this lens is anything but a comfort. But God is not a God of abuse, and to Him, being Abba is to be tender, loving, and protecting. And He is powerful enough to transform your definition of this word—despite the pain you may associate with it.
Because this Abba yearns to deliver His children from evil, not subject them to it. And what's more, He is able to do just that for you.
If you're reading this and have suffered domestic abuse, we know you must be in the midst of a whirlwind of emotions. So we'll cut to the chase and tell exactly where you can find what you most need to hear:
If you need to know if what you're experiencing is domestic abuse, please turn to chapter 2.
If you need to know if others will recognize what you're suffering is considered domestic abuse, please go to chapter 3.
If you need to know whether you should leave or stay, please turn to chapters 5 and 10.
If you need to know what he's really thinking and what the obstacles might be to leaving, please turn to chapter 4.
If you need step-by-step advice on how to get out of an abusive relationship, including supporters to contact, numbers to call, and plans to help you stay safe, please go to appendixes 1 and 2.
If you are suffering from shame, guilt, and other negative emotions as the result of abuse, please turn to chapter 6.
If you need to recover from an experience where the words of the Bible have been used to threaten you or keep you in submission, please turn to chapters 7 and 8.
If you need to know how God views you and your situation, please turn to chapter 9.
If you need to pray, but don't have the words, please turn to chapter 11.
Victims and Survivors of Abuse
We use the term "victim" throughout the book, and before we go further we want to explain what we mean. The term "victim" signifies the cruelty and unfairness of domestic violence and puts the responsibility for the assault where it belongs—on the assailant. In this book, we use the term "victim," though "survivor" can also be appropriate as well. Generally, the terms are used interchangeably by people who have experienced domestic violence and by the professionals who interact with them.
However, there are distinctions. "Victim" is often associated with the early trauma following an experience of domestic violence and emphasizes the fact that frequently a crime has been committed. This term is also used for emergency department responses. The terms "survivor" and "victim/survivor" are most often used within later periods of recovery to reclaim power. "Survivor" is often the chosen word for those who do not want to be viewed as remaining under the perpetrator's influence and control.
We will use the term "victim" rather than "survivor" for two reasons. First, the unfortunate reality is that not all victims are survivors as many victims of domestic abuse are killed. Second, some victims do not feel like survivors and using that term can heap shame on them as if they have failed or done something wrong in the healing process. If you prefer the term "survivor," we support you in your chosen identity.
However you identify yourself, please understand this: this book is a resource for healing and hope, not a substitute for reporting abuse, legal care, medical care, counseling, pastoral care, or family and community support. We focus exclusively on the emotional pain resulting from the violence and what the Bible says about the experience of domestic violence. We have ministered to many victims who want and need a clear explanation of how God's grace applies to their experiences of domestic violence and its effects on their lives. We have also talked to many family members, friends, and ministers who know someone who was abused and are looking for a solid, gospel-based book that would be helpful in serving victims.
Pastors, Ministry Leaders, Friends, and Family
If you have tried to approach a church about your experience with abuse and been disappointed, you know firsthand that many churches are woefully under-equipped to deal with domestic violence. This is a tragic reality, and one we hope will soon change. But please don't write churches off altogether as a resource for your struggle. Instead, see appendix 3 for ways your local church can care for you if you are at risk.
While this book is primarily for you, it is also for church leaders, church members, and friends and family who know someone in an abusive situation.
If you are a leader in ministry, statistics tell us there are people under your care who have suffered—or are currently suffering—from domestic violence. This is particularly tragic because part of God's mission for the church is to proclaim Gods healing and to seek justice for everyone it encounters. And this book is to help equip you in doing just that for women in abusive situations. Additionally, we've put together a list of resources to help further your understanding of domestic violence and how to care for its victims, which you can find in appendix 4.
Finally, we talk about women and use female pronouns for victims. Statistics, which we'll discuss later, point to the fact that the overwhelming majority of domestic violence victims are women. But we also know that there are male victims out there as well, who sometimes suffer from the added burden of feeling that it is unacceptable or a personal failure for a man to be the victim of domestic violence. If you are a man who has been victimized, even though we will focus on women here, please know that you are not forgotten.
A Prayer to Begin
If reading this has sparked the urge to pray, Psalm 55 may be especially apt for you before you read any further. It is a prayer that pleads with God to comfort and save a person who has been harmed by someone close to them. God listens not only to religious psalm writers and holy men from thousands of years ago; He listens to your prayers and cries too. Perhaps the words of Psalm 55 can serve as your prayer.
Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;
hear me and answer me ...
If an enemy were insulting me,
I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,
I could hide.
But it is you, a man like myself,
my companion, my close friend,
with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship
at the house of God,
as we walked about
among the worshipers.
Let death take my enemies by surprise;
let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,
for evil finds lodging among them ...
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
(Ps. 55:2–3,13–15,17–18)
Am I in an Abusive Relationship?
You may already know the answer to this question. But if you don't, it's okay to explore the issue. Either way, we believe you'll soon find you are not alone in your experience.
When the abuse first begins, many women in abusive relationships aren't sure if what they are experiencing is abusive. In fact, one of the biggest hurdles to addressing domestic violence is that very few victims self-identify as experiencing abuse. Many think abuse happens to "those women" and don't want to have the stigma of being one of "those women."
The most telling sign that you are in an abusive relationship is living in fear of your partner. If you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around him—constantly watching what you say and do in order to avoid a blowup—your relationship is unhealthy and likely abusive. Other signs include your partner's belittling of you, his attempts to control you, and feelings of self-loathing, helplessness, and desperation.
An abuser typically has a well-stocked arsenal of ways to exert power over you. He may employ domination, humiliation, isolation, threats, intimidation, denial, blame, and more. What's more, he is often creative and strategic in when—and how—to put these to their most effective use.
None of this is your fault. Your abuser is the only one to blame.
And because he is so good at deceptively wielding control, it can often be difficult to discern if you are being abused. From the perspective of outside observers, these signs of abuse may be cut–and–dry. But for those trapped in the cycles of abuse, making sense of these complicated relational dynamics—especially when the relationship is intimate—can be suffocating and confusing.
If this is where you find yourself right now, here are some ways to discern if your relationship is abusive.

What People are saying about this
"This book is a tour de force of wisdom, goodness, and compassion for those who know the agony and shame of domestic violence and for every leader who interacts with more than four families in a year. One out of every four homes in America will experience domestic abuse and it is no different in the church than in the so-called secular world. In fact, conservative Christians are more likely to remain in violence and think it is biblical. This treasure of a book invites the reader into a sweeping and life giving understanding of the Bible's view of women, violence, suffering, and redemption that if embraced would radically alter how victims and care givers address this heartache. This is a must-read book."
Dan B. Allender, Professor of Counseling Psychology and founding president of the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology
"Specific, tender, concrete, compassionate, bold, understanding, wise, and dyed with the gorgeous gospel of grace that is ours in Christ Jesus. I love this book! It unpacks the experience of the victim without ever feeling coldly analytical. It gives you important things to consider and clear steps to take without ever pushing you. Read it and you'll feel loved, understood, and helped, but best of all you'll rest in the love of Jesus more than you have before."
Paul Tripp, President of Paul Tripp Ministries; executive director of the Center for Pastoral Life and Care in Fort Worth, Texas; and author of A Shelter in the Time of Storm: Meditations on God and Trouble
"The authors' deeply compassionate writing offers us a book that does not merely speak to us, it comes along beside us—offering both experience and in-depth knowledge about this emotionally charged subject. Too often the church has been not merely been silent but complicit in protecting abusers and marginalizing victims. Justin and Lindsey's book takes us in a new direction of hope, healing, and mercy. I am more than happy to commend this book."
Gregory O. Brewer, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida
"Domestic abuse is an area where sincere but uninformed 'help' can hurt. Unfortunately, even the misuse of Scripture, often by well-meaning Christians, can become part of the problem. Justin and Lindsey serve the church well by defining what abuse is, what Scripture says, how victims should respond, and how pastor-counselors can be effectively involved. This is a must-read for pastors, victims, and friends of victims. This issue is too prevalent and devastating to be ignored. The blind eye of the church hurts those without a voice. Read this book and become equipped to effectively care for those whose cry is reaching the ear of God and are waiting for a hand from the body of Christ."
Brad Hambrick, Pastor of counseling at The Summit Church (Durham, NC) and author of Self-Centered Spouse: Help for Chronically Broken Marriages
"This is it. This is the book on domestic violence that needs to be sitting on every pastor's desk, required reading for every seminarian, and the next book discussed among church leadership, in book clubs, Bible studies, home groups, and lay counselor trainings. Not only do Justin and Lindsey compassionately and responsibly define domestic violence, identify its signs, its cycles, and its effects on the victims and their communities, they take us to Scripture to reveal God's heart for those unnecessarily afflicted and trapped in violent domestic relationships. Each person who reads this book will have a better understanding of how to identify domestic violence in their own relationships or in those of people they know, love, and minister to. And with a thorough appendix of practical information and steps to take, both the victims and the ones supporting them will gain the insight and clarity they need to prevent the violence from happening again."
Monica Taffinder, Cofounder and counselor, Grace Clinic Christian Counseling
"While reading this book I found myself regularly exclaiming 'Amen!' and 'Come on!' to Lindsey and Justin's wisdom and biblical understanding of the issues. This book is a valuable and important resource for Christian women who have experienced abuse and for all those who want to support them. Lindsey and Justin invite the Christian community to honor and value women and children and to no longer collude with, perpetuate, or indeed perpetrate abuse against those whom God has created. I have been looking for a book to recommend to women in the conservative Christian church and their supporters; this book is ideal."
Natalie Collins, Activist working to end violence against women and gender injustice; founder of the DAY Programme and Spark
"In simple, eloquent prose, Justin and Lindsey Holcomb shine a light on the darkness surrounding domestic violence. As detailed in the accounts of survivors, the very husbands and fathers charged with the care of their families sometimes represent the greatest threat. Equally troublesome, many clergy and church leaders routinely support offenders and ostracize victims. In making clear that God stands with the suffering, this book offers survivors a path to healing and the church a path to reform."
Victor Vieth, Executive Director, National Child Protection Training Center; child protection attorney; author
"Justin and Lindsey have done it again! Their book on sexual abuse, Rid My Disgrace, and now this one, Is It My Fault?, are gifts to the church, its leaders, and especially to those who suffer from the horror and pain of sexual assault and domestic violence. In this book you will find compassionate, practical, biblical, and grace-based help for those who suffer and for those who love and want to help those who suffer. If you are a pastor or a leader and care, this is not an optional book. You will 'rise up and call' Justin and Lindsey blessed for writing it . . . and, more important, those to whom you minister will, too."
Steve Brown, Host, Key Life Radio Program; author, Three Free Sins: God Isn't Mad At You
"Domestic violence demands silence—perpetrators don't want to be exposed, and victims are too ashamed to speak. Justin and Lindsey counter that silence with words and deeds. They give words to describe it, words to speak to the Lord, words that remind us of the truth, such as 'It is never my fault' and 'He [God] delights in us,' and deeds that can bring the violence to an end."
Ed Welch. Counselor and Faculty, the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation; author
"The roots of domestic violence and the resulting wounds and scars are deep and enduring. So I am very grateful for the wisdom and expertise of Justin and Lindsey Holcomb in helping the church understand and apply the biblical requirements of justice and accountability and the biblical promises of healing and hope. The Holcombs' work is a gift from God to all of us and a valuable ministry of Christ's restorative gospel for those who have suffered great harm."
Jared Wilson, Pastor of Middletown Springs Community Church and author of Gospel Wakefulness
"One of every four women you know has or will face intimate partner violence. What does the God of Scripture say to them? In this rich and rare resource, Justin and Lindsey Holcomb combine their theological and practical training to offer these women a way out of both abuse and the shame and despair that accompany it. They show powerfully how the 'one-way violence' of abusers is overcome by the 'one-way love' of God in Christ. I recommend this book to every church leader looking for a truly Christ-centered response to domestic violence in their midst."
Katelyn Beaty, Managing Editor, Christianity Today
"Could the gospel be not just for sinners, but for victims? Having worked with many who have been impacted by psychological, sexual, and physical abuse, I am so grateful for this book. It reminds me, once again, that the gospel is indeed good news—particularly to those who have been victimized."
Chuck DeGroat, Associate Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, Western Theological Seminary; senior fellow, Newbigin House of Studies; and author of Toughest People to Love
"The Holcombs offer an 'intervention of grace' to those who suffer under domestic violence. They show that the God of the Bible abounds in grace and love, restoring dignity and hope to those who've been harmed. Victims will find a voice to speak out about the violence they've endured, guided by the very words of Scripture, and they will find a God who acts with righteous power to rescue the oppressed."

Is It My Fault? is an excellent read for persons suffering from domestic violence as well as those who know and support them. Justin Holcomb and Lindsey Holcomb open Is It My Fault? with an explanation of domestic violence, the traits of an abuser, and how domestic violence impacts the victim, children, and families. The Holcombs manage to present statistics, definitions, and theory in a way that is easy-to-read and understandable, while not turning victims into merely numbers or a cause. In the second section, the Holcombs address the theological impact of domestic violence. They use Scripture to answer common questions about God's view of domestic violence. This section is extremely important as doctrine can be used to explain domestic violence as a deserved punishment or a trial requiring endurance. The Holcombs stress that domestic violence of any type or degree is not the fault of the victim. They also emphasize the importance of actively seeking safety and protection, while also relying on God for strength and ultimate, eternal deliverance. Finally, the Holcombs review several Psalms that express vivid emotion, distress, and pleas to God, feelings that those suffering domestic violence may relate to. After reading Is It My Fault? I wished that the book had included more answers in the concrete form of protection, safety, and ultimately escape. However, glancing at the title again, I realized anew that this book is intended to address the questions, shame, and guilt often experienced by victims of domestic violence. Also, Is It My Fault? includes several appendices that provide hotline phone numbers, an escape plan, and a list of recommended reading. Review of the technical writing of Is It My Fault? reveals several editorial mistakes. However, this is not noticeable enough to detract from the overall message of the book. Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough Not Yet Engaged
December 3, 2010 (9:18 am) GMT
The 'American Idol' host was said proposing to the singer during Thanksgiving holiday, but his rep denies the story.
A representative for Ryan Seacrest has brushed off reports the "American Idol" host proposed to girlfriend Julianne Hough on a recent trip to Paris, France. The country music star has been dating Seacrest since earlier this year and Hough opened up about the romance to chat show host Ellen DeGeneres in November, gushing, "He's phenomenal. He's really romantic."
The couple jetted off to Paris for Thanksgiving last week and U.S. tabloid The National Enquirer subsequently claimed the pair had become engaged on the romantic trip.
But Seacrest's rep has been quick to dismiss the rumors, telling GossipCop.com the article is "not true".

New Oak Creek Civic Center designed for efficiency
City Hall, library and fire station to break ground
Oak Creek — City Hall has not changed much since it took occupancy on South Howell Avenue in 1964.
But since the common council accepted a bid to construct the new two-story Civic Center, which will include the public library, at the Drexel Town Square development on West Drexel and South Howell avenues, the new building is slated for efficiency.
At 98,500 total square feet, the new city hall and library will be strategically constructed under one roof — first, to save money; second, to work with each other.
Jill Lininger, library director, said a multi-purpose room will be located right across from the council chambers, which will seat 150, and can hold overflow from meetings. There will also be conference rooms reserved for city employees during the day that will be available to the community at night.
And forget having to visit multiple desks in City Hall to get questions answered on engineering, community development and the like. All questions will be answered from one central counter, as staff will be cross-trained to answer residents' questions, said Gerald Peterson, city administrator.
The council accepted a bid May 20, from Corporate Contractors, based in Beloit, to construct the new city hall, public library and fire station. Eight total submissions were reviewed anonymously, so the decision was merit-based. Corporate Contractors submitted a bid for about $4.5 million for the fire station and $18.5 million for the Civic Center.
The new Fire Station No. 1 will be built on East Centennial Drive just east of South Howell Avenue.
"I think that everybody's really excited that the contract's been awarded and that we're moving forward with it; it's been a long time coming," Lininger said.
Ground will begin to break as soon as Corporate Contractors has its contracts in place, which could be in the next 10 days, Peterson said.
With construction, the library will be transformed from a "book warehouse" to a "lifelong learning center," Lininger said. The original library was built in 1972 and lacks both the community space and technology necessary to operate as a modern library.
The library currently has 13 Internet computers but is planned to house a media lab with Macs, scanners, microphones, a green screen and software to convert a record collection to digital music files, for example.
Two new areas dedicated to young adults and kids will also be constructed, based on survey feedback and other library tours.
The recreation department will also operate out of the new library since the two entities have a similar mission and client base, Lininger added.
"I hope that (citizens) feel like it's a building that was built for them with their needs and interests in mind," she said.
The proposed fire station will also increase performance. Living quarters will be built as close to the fire apparatus as possible to "operationally make the response the most efficient as possible," said Fire Chief Tom Rosandich.
The fire station will be located across from the U.S. Post Office and will store fire engines, ambulances and a ladder truck that cannot fit in other current dispatch locations.

Bang & Olufsen's reasonably priced BeoPlay V1 TV with Apple TV slot leads strong 2012 line-up
Bang & Olufsen has unveiled not one but two new products and two modified versions of existing kit under its BeoPlay branding. And its new TV, the BeoPlay V1, will come as a relative surprise to B&O fans - it's purposely designed to be affordable.
Described by Tue Mantoni,the Danish company's president and CEO, as a product that "more people can afford", the new set has signature B&O design, but comes in at £1,999 for the 32-inch model, £2,499 for the 40-inch.
It's also clearly designed with Apple fans in mind as, although it's not necessary to do so, there's a slot on the rear with connections for an Apple TV.
Both sizes of set are LED side-lit, Full HD (1080p), 100Hz, have five HDMI inputs, and feature a USB port for connection to a media stick or hard drive in order to play music or view picture files.
The BeoPlay V1 has been created by designer Anders Hermansen, and features a steel cabinet that's powder coated, giving a very industrial feel to the aesthetics. Both sets come with a steel mount, but others are available as optional extras, from around £250.
There are four ways in which the TV can be placed: with a floor mount, wall mount (that allows the viewer to swing it out by up to 180 degrees), table mount and hung from the ceiling using anchors and wires.
But the feature that Mantoni and the rest of the B&O team are keen to highlight is the BeoPlay V1's audio prowess. Pocket-lint has had a listen and, while the cabinet is necessarily deeper than an average flatpanel TV, the stereo sound that comes from within outperforms any other conventional TV speakers.
Both the 32-inch and 40-inch models feature an effective frequency range of 30-20,000Hz, but they differ in the driver array and technologies inside (behind the one-piece speaker grille).
The 32-inch has two 2.5-inch full-range drivers in a closed box cabinet and one 32-watt Class D ICEpower amplifier per channel. The 40-inch has a beefier output as it sports two 2-inch full-range treble/midrange drivers in a closed box cabinet, one 4-inch centre bass unit in a closed box, and three 32 watt Class D ICEpower amplifiers.
Both sizes of the BeoPlay V1 go on sale tomorrow, 3 May. They come in black or white.
In addition to the V1, the Bang & Olufsen has announced a speaker solution for the iPad and iPad 2 that effectively turns the tablet into a mini-television or media centre.
The BeoPlay A3 is an iPad housing with adaptive stereo speaker technology and three speakers that allow you to get a full, beefy stereo sound effect no matter the device's orientation. It has a "stable wedge" design that lets you stand it landscape, portrait or even rest it on its back slanted slightly for typing purposes.
The idea behind the dock is that it helps to make use of an older iPad that you may have lying around now that you've bought the new one, Mantoni tells us. You can put it on your desk, watch TV on it with full audio, or use it with Skype, he suggests.
However, be wary about handing it over to your kids to play Angry Birds on, as the CEO and president himself says: "When you play it through this, you still get the stupid music, but very loud."
The BeoPlay A3 comes with an internal battery that runs independent of the iPad's, which should last up to eight hours on a full charge. You can also use it with a power cable, and when charging, and it will also charge the iPad itself.
It will be available on 21 May in B&O shops, priced at £449. It initially comes in black only, but a white version is planned for later in the year.
Finally, new versions of the company's BeoSound 8, now called BeoSound A8, and the Beolit 12 are available now. The latter portable Airplay speaker now comes in silver and gold colour schemes, while the larger iPad and iPhone dock now has Airplay compatibility too (hence the new "A" prefix).

Family Stress Management: A Contextual Approachby Pauline E. Boss, Chalandra M. (Matrice) Bryant, Jay A. Mancini

The Third Edition of Family Stress Management by Pauline Boss, Chalandra M. Bryant, and Jay A. Mancini continues its original commitment to recognize both the external and internal contexts in which distressed families find themselves. With its hallmark Contextual Model of Family Stress (CMFS), the Third Edition provides practitioners and researchers with a useful framework to understand and help distressed individuals, couples, and families. The example of a universal stressor—a death in the family—highlights cultural differences in ways of coping. Throughout, there is new emphasis on diversity and the nuances of family stress management—such as ambiguous loss—plus new discussions on family resilience and community as resources for support.

Meet the Author
Pauline Boss, Ph.D., is Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota; a Fellow in the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR), the American Psychological Association, and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. She was visiting professor at Harvard Medical School (1994–95) and the Moses Professor at Hunter School of Social Work (2004–2005). She is former president of NCFR and a family therapist in private practice. In 1988, Dr. Boss wrote the first edition of Family Stress Management with a subsequent edition in 2002. For the third edition, she invited Chalandra Bryant and Jay Mancini to be her co-authors. Each edition has considerably advanced the Contextual Model of Family Stress.
With groundbreaking work as scientist-practitioner, Dr. Boss is the principal theorist in the study of family stress from ambiguous loss, a term she coined. Since then, she has researched various types of ambiguous loss, summarizing her work in the widely acclaimed book, Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief (Harvard University Press, 1999). In addition, Loss, Trauma, and Resilience (Norton, 2006), presents six therapeutic guidelines for treatment when loss is complicated by ambiguity. These guidelines are based on her years of work with families of the physically missing during the Vietnam War, after 9/11, and in Kosovo, as well as in clinical work as a family therapist. For families, Dr. Boss wrote the book, Loving Someone Who Has Dementia (Jossey-Bass, 2011), which outlines strategies for managing the ongoing stress and grief while caring for someone who is both here and not here, physically present but psychologically absent. For more information, see her website, www.ambiguousloss.com.
Chalandra M. Bryant is currently a professor of Human Development and Family Science at the University of Georgia (UGA) where she teaches courses in family development, intimate relationships, and family theories. Before moving to Georgia, she served as a faculty member at Iowa State University (1998-2003) and the Pennsylvania State University (2003-2010). Her research focuses on close relationships and the ability to sustain close intimate ties. She is particularly interested in the manner in which social, familial, economic, and psychosocial factors are linked to marital and health outcomes. After earning her Ph D at the University of Texas, she completed a two-year National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) post-doctoral fellowship. She serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Family Theory and Review. The International Association for Relationship Research presented her with the New Contributions Award (honoring significant contributions to personal relationships research) in 2002. In 2004 she received the National Council on Family Relation's Reuben Hill Research and Theory Award (presented for an outstanding research article in a family journal). In 2005 she received the Outstanding Young Professional Award from the Texas Exes Alumni Association of the University of Texas. In 2015 she was recognized as a Faculty Member Who Contributed Greatly to Career Development of UGA Students. Her favorite hobby is hiking. Her nature photographs have been published in a hiking guide.
Jay A. Mancini is the Haltiwanger Distinguished Professor of Human Development and Family Science at the University of Georgia and Emeritus Professor of Human Development at Virginia Tech. Mancini was the 2013 Ambiguous Loss Visiting Scholar at the University of Minnesota. He received his doctoral degree in child development and family relations from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Mancini is a Fellow of the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR). His theorizing and research focuses on the intersections of vulnerability and resilience, and over his career, his research projects have focused on families and time-use, family gerontology, psychological well-being in adulthood, sustainability of community-based programs for at-risk families, community context effects on families, and quality of life among military families.

Thanks for all the help, I learned something big about fantasy hockey :).
and definitely get a better goalie. like JS or kipp
start trading some of your streaking players for consistently top players who are in a slump rgiht now... such as datsyuk: ranked 10- currently 47, or kovalchuk, or alfredsson or st louis. get some solid players on your team
Will Garry Will Garry Nov 28, 2008 11:12 AM Flag
picking streaky players isnt a bad idea, but what will you do when they cool off and slow down the scoring?
For a 6 man H2H league your team is not bad but it definately could be better

You must have just drafted this recently then.Yes your team has done great so far put picking up all the players that are currently playing well is a bad call. Every year there always looks like there will be a big change in the points leaders at the start of the year but by the end of the season things level out because all players go through hot and cold stretches.
thats just retarded drafting
who the hell did you take with your first 3 draft picks?

What do you meen my team is not good,
Marc Savard and Simon Gagne are bound for 100 point streaks, Weber is doing great defensively right now, and Thomas has a good team and great stats, Jeff Carter is a underrated scorer, and Patrick Kane and Seto are rising point bringers.

what everyone is saying is that your team sucks for a 6 team league. in a 6 team league every single one of your players pretty much should be a top tier player which yours are not. granted it appears to be a "deep" 6 team league, in that there is a lot of roster spots. but still, you should have more big names than you do.

goalies are crap
your team is not good but most of your players are hot

Should i focuse more on depth? Like not just goals/assist/points?
Also i think i should make some big trades for good goalies.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Arnold Exposed, submitted by Quaid. Sure, I don't take Arnold Schwarzenegger seriously as a politician and I don't agree with his right wing politics, but I don't think he's going to seize power and put all the gypsies and Jews into death camps and force everybody to watch his action movies and drink protein shakes. The people at "Arnold Exposed" have a different viewpoint.
Americans Against Arnold has launched defensive measures against Arnold Schwarzenegger's bliztkrieg attack on the Constitution because we love America and believe that the Founding Fathers were right: only someone born in America should be able to be President. Just as important, we are dedicated to exposing the individual, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is totally unfit to be Governor of California, much less President of the United States.
