Prisoners of war in Islam
|Part of a series on
|Islamic jurisprudence
|Islamic studies
The rules and regulations concerning prisoners of war in Islam are covered in manuals of Islamic jurisprudence, based upon Islamic teachings, in both the Qur'an and hadith.
The historical legal principles governing the treatment of prisoners of war, in shar'iah, Islamic law, (in the traditional madhabs schools of Islamic jurisprudence), was then a significant improvement over the pre-existing norms of society during Muhammad's time (see Early reforms under Islam). Men, women, and children may all be taken as prisoners of war under traditional interpretations of Islamic law. Generally, a prisoner of war could be, at the discretion of the military leader, freed, ransomed, exchanged for Muslim prisoners, or kept in bondage.[1][2] In earlier times, the ransom sometimes took an educational dimension, where a literate prisoner of war could secure his or her freedom by teaching ten Muslims to read and write.[3] Some Muslim scholars hold that a prisoner may not be ransomed for gold or silver, but may be exchanged for Muslim prisoners.[4]
In pre-Islamic Arabia, upon capture, those captives not executed, were made to beg for their subsistence.[citation needed] During his life, Muhammad changed this custom and made it the responsibility of the Islamic government to provide food and clothing, on a reasonable basis, to captives, regardless of their religion. If the prisoners were in the custody of a person, then the responsibility was on the individual.[5]
Historically, Muslims routinely captured large number of prisoners. Aside from those who converted, most were ransomed or enslaved.[6] Pasquier writes,
It was the custom to enslave prisoners of war and the Islamic state would have put itself at a grave disadvantage vis-a-vis its enemies had it not reciprocated to some extent. By guaranteeing them [male POWs] humane treatment, and various possibilities of subsequently releasing themselves, it ensured that a good number of combatants in the opposing armies preferred captivity at the hands of Muslims to death on the field of battle.[7]
According to accounts written by Muhammad's followers, after the Battle of Badr, some prisoners were executed for their earlier crimes in Mecca, but the rest were given options: They could convert to Islam and thus win their freedom; they could pay ransom and win their freedom; they could teach 10 Muslims to read and write and thus win their freedom.[8] William Muir wrote of this period:
In pursuance of Mahomet's commands, the citizens of Medîna, and such of the Refugees as possessed houses, received the prisoners, and treated them with much consideration. "Blessings be on the men of Medina!" said one of these prisoners in later days; "they made us ride, while they themselves walked: they gave us wheaten bread to eat when there was little of it, contenting themselves with dates."[9]— William Muir, The Life of Mahomet
During his rule, Caliph Umar made it illegal to separate related prisoners of war from each other, after a captive complained to him for being separated from her daughter.[10]
These principles were also honoured during the Crusades, as exemplified by sultans such as Saladin and al-Kamil. For example, after al-Kamil defeated the Franks during the Crusades, Oliverus Scholasticus praised the Islamic laws of war, commenting on how al-Kamil supplied the defeated Frankish army with food:[11]
Who could doubt that such goodness, friendship and charity come from God? Men whose parents, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, had died in agony at our hands, whose lands we took, whom we drove naked from their homes, revived us with their own food when we were dying of hunger and showered us with kindness even when we were in their power."[12]
Treatment of prisoners[edit]
Upon capture, the prisoners must be guarded and not ill-treated.[13] Islamic law holds that the prisoners must be fed and clothed, either by the Islamic government or by the individual who has custody of the prisoner. This position is supported by the verse [Quran 76:8] of the Quran. The prisoners must be fed in a dignified manner, and must not be forced to beg for their subsistence.[14] Muhammad's early followers also considered it a principle to not separate prisoners from their relatives.[10]
After the fighting is over, prisoners are to be released, with some prospect of survival, or ransomed. The freeing or ransoming of prisoners by Muslims themselves is highly recommended as a charitable act.[13] The Qur'an also urges kindness to captives[15] and recommends, their liberation by purchase or manumission. The freeing of captives is recommended both for the expiation of sins[16] and as an act of simple benevolence.[17][18]
Women and children[edit]
Some Muslim scholars claim that women and children prisoners of war cannot be killed under any circumstances, regardless of their faith,[19] but that they may be enslaved, freed or ransomed. However Hadith 4457 makes exceptions for this based on the child's suitability for conversion to Islam, saying "The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used not to kill the children, so thou shouldst not kill them unless you could know what Khadir had known about the child he killed, or you could distinguish between a child who would grow up to he a believer (and a child who would grow up to be a non-believer), so that you killed the (prospective) non-believer and left the (prospective) believer aside"[20] Women who are neither freed nor ransomed by their people were to be kept in bondage and referred to as ma malakat aymanukum (slaves).
Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, a Nigerian extremist group, said in an interview "I shall capture people and make them slaves" when claiming responsibility for the 2014 Chibok kidnapping.[21] Shekau has justified his actions by appealing to the Quran saying "[w]hat we are doing is an order from Allah, and all that we are doing is in the Book of Allah that we follow".[22] In October 2014, in its digital magazine Dabiq, ISIL explicitly claimed religious justification for enslaving Yazidi women. Specifically, ISIL argued that the Yazidi were idol worshipers and appealed to the shariah practice of spoils of war.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] ISIL appealed to apocalyptic beliefs and "claimed justification by a Hadith that they interpret as portraying the revival of slavery as a precursor to the end of the world."[30] In late 2014 ISIL released a pamphlet on the treatment of female captives and slaves which permits sex with them.[31][32][33][34][35]
There has been disagreement whether adult male prisoners of war may be executed, although Muhammad did execute men on many occasions. One traditional opinion holds that executing prisoners of war is strictly forbidden; this is the most-widely accepted view, and one upheld by the Hanafi madhab.[37]
However, the opinion of the Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Jafari madhabs is that adult male prisoners of war may be executed.[38] Conventionally, execution was conditional on the reasonable belief that male prisoners would pose a genuine and immediate threat to the Muslim community if allowed to live. The decision for an execution is to be made by the Muslim leader. This opinion was also upheld by the Muslim judge, Sa'id bin Jubair (665-714 AD) and 'Abu Yusuf Ya'qub a classical jurist from the Hanafi school of jurisprudence.[4] El Fadl argues the reason Muslim jurists adopted this position was largely because it was consistent with the war practices of the Middle Ages.[37]
Most contemporary Muslim scholars prohibit altogether the killing of prisoners and hold that this was the policy practiced by Muhammad.[39] The 20th-century Muslim scholar, Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi states that no prisoner should be "put to the sword" in accordance with a saying of Muhammad.[40]
Yusuf Ali, another 20th century Muslim scholar, while commenting on verse [Quran 9:6], writes,
Even those the enemies of Islam, actively fighting against Islam, there may be individuals who may be in a position to require protection. Full asylum is to be given to them, and opportunities provided for hearing the Word of Allah...If they do not see their way to accept Islam, they will require double protection: (1) from the Islamic forces openly fighting against their people, and (2) from their own people, as they detached themselves from them. Both kinds of protection should be ensured for them, and they should be safely escorted to a place where they can be safe.[41]
Maududi further states that Islam forbids torturing, especially by fire, and quotes Muhamad as saying, "Punishment by fire does not behoove anyone except the Master of the Fire [God]."[40]

Proliferation in the skin. E-cadherin (green)
marks cells of the epidermis and hair follicle. Ki67 (red)
marks the highly proliferative cells.
Our lab studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms
that control stem cell activity and function
within epithelia, the tissues that line our
internal organs and outer surfaces. We use
the mouse as a genetic model system to study
how adult
stem cells within epithelial tissues
maintain tissue homeostasis, wound healing
and can contribute to cancer formation.
The primary epithelial tissue we use is the
mammalian skin, which contains multiple stem
cell populations and forms a complex tissue
that protects our bodies from external pathogens
and loss of internal bodily fluids. Mammalian
skin is an excellent model to study stem cell
biology because the epidermis and its appendages
are in a constant state of regeneration, which
is actively sustained by tissue stem cells. During
development, a stratified epithelium forms
from a single layer of cells which give rise
to primarily three lineages: the epidermis, the
hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland.
Following tissue formation, stem cell activity
including proliferation and commitment to various
cell lineages is crucial for the rapid turnover
of the epidermis and the sebaceous gland as well
as the cyclic regeneration of the hair follicle.
We are currently addressing the following topics:
» Control of cell proliferation in
epithelial stem cells
» Regulation of cell fate choices
within epithelial tissues
» Control of cell proliferation in
epithelial stem cells
» Regulation of cell fate choices
within epithelial tissues
Figure 2. Differentiation in the epidermis. Keratin
10 (green) marks the differentiated cells of the epidermis while
the basal, proliferative cells of the epidermis are marked by a6
integrin (red) expression.
Figure 3. Stem cells of the hair follicle are
marked by the transcription factor, NFATc1 and cell surface marker,
Stem Cell Proliferation.
The hair follicle stem cells reside in the bulge
region of the follicle and are characterized
by their slow proliferation, which can be marked
by their ability to retain DNA label such as
bromodeoxyuridine, BrdU. We have identified a
role for the calcium sensitive transcription
factor, NFATc1 in the regulation of stem cell
proliferation and activity in the hair follicle
bulge. Inhibition of NFATc1 activity pharmacologically
or via gene knockout results in precocious activation
of the stem cells within the hair follicle and
subsequent hair growth. We are identifying mechanisms
that control NFATc1 activity in hair follicle
stem cells. In addition, we will define further
mechanisms that regulate stem cells within the
skin and other epithelial cells.
Lineage formation. How
do stem cells decide to which cellular fate
to adopt? The skin is an excellent system
to answer this basis question in developmental
biology. The epithelium of the skin is composed
of three primary lineages, the epidermis,
hair follicle and sebaceous gland. We have
identified multiple transcription factors
that regulate lineage formation in the skin.
One of these factors, Blimp1 is a transcriptional
repressor that marks a unipotent stem cell
population in the sebaceous gland. We are
utilizing Blimp1 expression as a means to
further understand how sebaceous glands form
and contribute to human diseases. Future
studies are planned to identify further mechanisms
involved in lineage decisions in epithelial

Give It Up
The female squirrels of Seattle must stop playing games and give their males sex. They need it badly, and I'm tired of seeing how badly they need it. This morning, I came across three (THREE!) situations that involved a desperate male squirrel hopping, hoping, summersaulting, hanging by a limb—doing everything it could to get a fleeing female squirrel. And the sordid drama consumes an entire street. You try to move this way, and the squirrels hop this way. You try to move that way, and the squirrels hop that way. You cant get around the damn things, so you have to abandon the street and take the longer way to work. And all I want to do is listen to music and look at houses and buildings. At one moment this morning: I'm just about to relish the beautiful conclusion to Dollar Brand's "Sathima," a marvelous work of South African jazz. Dollar Brand is poised to play the melody that expresses the majesty of the Table Mountains, the Cape of Good Hope, the flowers of the African city—suddenly, everywhere, here then there, a male squirrel is trying to get some. And he wont give up, and she wont give in. And I'm totally distressed. I have to go the long way, I have listen to the whole song again (11 minutes). Squirrels get your fucking act together!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt screens are pretty, terrifying
Some gorgeous screenshots have turned up for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt showing that games aimed at adults shouldn't be afraid to use colour. Plus, bonus terrifying monsters.
Just zoom in on that one with the winged thing in it. Oh god, make it go away.
The images below turned up on AllGamesBeta and were not watermarked; presumably, they're E3 screens.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is due on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014. It may utilise your old Witcher 2 saves, even on consoles, and will probably be the last we see of Geralt.

lol! What he is trying to achieve already attempted! But will always fail big! You can not monetize mobil! Zynga and facebook depending on ads and free platform and games will not work unless you charge users. Also Fb can easily be done a million times over and better same with Zynga games! Over valued stocks FB EPS 0.05 Zynga -.16 ! Their stock price trend will continue to drop unless they man up and get creative, aggressive and smart! Zuckerberg stole the idea from the twins, Pincus copies other gaming companies, Zynga relies on FB free users. Now they are both in hot water. Advertisers are holding up FB! Very dangerous to depend on ads for revenue. FB is too big to be stuck on just a free platform. Google is a prime example of how to survive!

Otago students won't be short of an opportunity to earn a
dollar or two this summer.
Student Job Search figures show there are 2813 jobs available
this summer - 905 more than the 1908 on offer during the
2011-12 summer break.
Student Job Search chief executive officer Paul Kennedy
believed the increase was because of ''one or two companies''
which had asked for more help than usual.
The figures come at the end of a successful year for Student
Job Search in New Zealand.
An Elvis impersonator and a candy-making Oompa-Loompa were
among the 50,784 positions on offer this year, and the busy
summer season is looking good with 22,000 jobs posted across
the country since September.
Mr Kennedy said the number of jobs had increased
significantly nationwide since 2011. This was great news for
the thousands of students in need of cash to help fund next
year's studies and gain work experience over the long summer
break, he said.
''We have a willing and highly skilled student workforce -
you only have to look at their contribution to the
Christchurch earthquake clean-up to know that.
''Whether you need a shop assistant, someone to help with the
harvest, do your accounts or impersonate `the King', there is
likely to be a student who is up for the job.''
Mr Kennedy said students were popular with employers because
they brought vibrancy to the workplace and weren't afraid to
roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
''Employers know they're getting someone who's keen, flexible
and good value for money.''
Mr Kennedy said the number of jobs for students offered in
Canterbury had increased considerably, an indication the city
was getting back on track.
''So far this year we have had over 8000 jobs in Canterbury
on offer - that's up 30% on last year, which is great for
students and a great sign for the city of Christchurch.
''There's a huge variety, from haymaking to retail.''

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Once in a while, when I go into the comics shop to snag my weekly pile, there will be something on the shelf that catches totally unaware. On Oct. 2, I was delighted to discover the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Liberty Annual 2013 (published by Image Comics). Given that all the proceeds from the book (previewed here at CBR) benefit the CBLDF, I wanted to interview Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie, who directed the project. While I had his attention, I couldn't pass up the chance to discuss some of the Dark Horse line as well.
Tim O'Shea: While seemingly an obvious question, I still think it worth asking: Why is it so important to you to volunteer your time for a project like the CBLDF Liberty Annual?
Scott Allie: Free speech is a near and dear cause, for me and for Dark Horse, and it's still an uphill battle for comics. There are preconceptions about this art form that invite attacks, and we need to work to defend against that. I want creators and publishers to be free to put out what they want to put out, and for retailers to sell it without fear of prosecution, for readers to travel with their books without fear of incarceration. The CBLDF isn't just about raising money in court cases. They're about educating the population about the art form we love, and I want to be a part of that.
We're living in a "Lil' Golden Age," as publishers have discovered the genius of comics creators Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani.
After showing off their trademark style on the DC heroes in comics like Tiny Titans and Superman Family Adventures, the duo has been tapped to create fun new versions of Hellboy and Battlestar Galactica. The collaborators also have their own line of original characters, following a successful Kickstarter project.
The kid-friendly designs they've applied to comics also work pretty well as plush toys, something Dark Horse is jumping all over it introduces plush versions of Itty Bitty Hellboy and Abe Sapien.
No word yet on when you'll be able to cuddle with Mike Mignola's signature creations, but Tomopop can show you what they'll look like.
Abe Sapien had a rough 2012, having spent much of the year in a coma. But 2013 doesn't look to be any easier for the B.P.R.D. agent — as it's set to be both dark and terrible.
"He'd spent some time out of action as a field agent, and then got back involved in time to see Liz Sherman ignite the center of the world, releasing monsters and all sorts of other problems across the surface of the earth," Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie said about Abe's activities pre-coma. "He and the rest of the B.P.R.D. crew launched into action, fighting monsters all over, and eventually Abe was taken out by a young psychic girl during a mission in Texas. Since Abe's been in the coma, in a life-support cocoon, his body has been changing …"
His story will continue with Abe Sapien: The Dark and Terrible, a new series written by Mike Mignola and Allie and illustrated by Sebastian Fiumara (Loki, Mystery in Space). Debuting April 3, the comic is the first issue of a "maxi-series" that will follow Abe as he travels across America, on the run from the B.P.R.D., as monsters continue to wreak havoc on the country — and as his own body continues to change in frightening ways.
I spoke with co-writer Allie about this new chapter in Abe's story, and what it's like to collaborate with Mignola.

It is, thankfully, the last week of September which means that, if I had $15, I only have one more week of new launches from DC to pick out potential favorites, Sophie's Choice-style. This week: Aquaman #1, Flash #1, Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Men #1, Justice League Dark #1 and Superman #1 make the cut (All DC, all $2.99 each).
If I had the chance to add some more money to take that total to $30, I'd go for some Marvel books: Brian Michael Bendis gets well-represented with Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #2 ($3.99); New Avengers #16.1 ($2.99), his "new readers jump on" issue with art by Neal Adams; and Brilliant #1 ($3.99), his new creator-owned book with Mark Bagley. Here's hoping I'm in a suitably Bendis-y mood when I read all of these ones.
Splurgewise, it has to be Habibi (Pantheon, $35), Craig Thompson's new graphic novel. I know a few people who've had a chance to read it already, and everyone has made it sound like a large leap ahead from Blankets, and something almost worth the many-year wait it's been since his breakthrough last book. I'm really looking forward to this one.
One of the fringe benefits to going to a convention is seeing some of the best artists in comics bust out some quick sketches of fan-favorite characters and some of their own. Robot 6 friend Mark Kardwell passed along some pictures of Hellboy artist Duncan Fegredo's work at last weekend's KAPOW! convention — and boy, do they live up to the convention's name.
Rush over to Kardwell's website to see a photo of Fegredo hard at work on some sketches, and a peek at the portfolio he brings with him to cons.
It's the end of an era. B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth: Gods #3 hits stores today, the final issue of the long-running Hellboy spinoff's latest miniseries — and with it, the tenure of Guy Davis as the series' regular artist draws to a close. Davis will be returning for the occasional project in Mike Mignola's unique horror-adventure universe, and everyone involved gives his replacement, near-overnight success story Tyler Crook, their vote of confidence; given Mignola and company's track record in selecting artists, from Davis to Duncan Fegredo to Richard Corben, I'm inclined to take them at their word. Even so, as I wrote at length the other day, Davis' work on B.P.R.D with Mignola, lead writer John Arcudi, and colorist Dave Stewart (not to mention letterer Clem Robins and editor Scott Allie) has been one of the past decade's absolute high-water marks for superhero (or supernatural action, if you prefer) comics. From sadness to spectacle, horror to humor, stunning creature designs to quiet character moments, there was pretty much nothing the guy couldn't do.
In honor of Davis, Arcudi, Mignola, and Stewart's remarkable achievement, I've selected a suite of my favorite moments from the Guy Davis era of B.P.R.D.. And in honor of the Ogdru Jahad, the Seven-Who-Are-One dark gods whose rise the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is battling (perhaps in vain) to stop, I've expanded the list past our usual "Six by 6″ format to include seven stunning scenes. My hope is that they showcase the range, subtlety, sophistication, and power of one of the best artists working in genre comics — arguably in all of comics — today, and highlight just how well he and his collaborators worked together. Just be warned: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Salmonella Typhimurium
Gram stain - Negative
Description - It's a cylindrical rod, the size is about 2 microns by 0.5 microns which is much smaller then the cells in a human. Humans can get salmonella poison by eating some tomatoes, eggs, and peanut butter that might have salmonella in it. In humans the growth causes gastroenteritis. Illness usually begins by nausea and vomiting.
How salmonella typhimurium attacks and spreads - Attacks by getting injected in the mouth by something that a person ate. You can get it from uncooked food, dirty food, or if hot food becomes warm and stays warm for a long time. Then the Salmonella will spread through your mouth into your body and make a person sick.
Common victims to prey upon - Any person can get Salmonella pouson but it's mostly the young and old people.
Where can you find Salmonella Typhimurium? - Usually found at a public restaurant by food that is bad. Although, you can also find it in a place like a dirty bathroom.
Injury done to victim - The most common injury that happens to a victim is vomiting, fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Most people go with out the sickness being treated. You just need to let it come out of your body and let it do its own thing. There is no vaccination you can get from Salmonella.
Is Salmonella armed and dangerous and degree of damage? - Yes, Salmonella is considered to be armed and dangerous becasue people have died drom it. There was recently a recall on peanut butter becasuse of Salmonella being it in. The degree of damage is really bad becasue 1.4 million people get it in America a year. All of those peple don't die from it, but they still get sick from it.
Number of victims - Almost 400 people a year die from Salmonella.
Effective weapons - Cook beef and eggs until completely done. Washing hands and surfaces thoroughly. Be careful and make sure that food for infants and the elderly is completely cooked.
Identifying characteristics - Salmonella is found in many different foods so you cannot see it becasue it's a bacteria inside the food such as eggs. You can also find Salmonella in a bathroom; it's so small that the naked eye will not be able to see it.

Fireplace Accessories - Lyle and Umbach
"I like to think I'm a sculptor for the hearth," says home-furnishings designer John Lyle, who is drawn to the challenge of seamlessly integrating art with utility. He pulls it off with a line of fireplace accessories in polished white or yellow bronze and hand-forged blackened steel. Whereas most fireplace gear is either ultra-rustic or starkly contemporary, these elegant and original andirons, tool sets, and fire screens strike a middle ground, offering traditional style with a modern spin.

A very good, basic recipe! I made a few half-batches to play around with the ingredients and decorating to get the results I wanted. I ended up using half the eggs, omitting the vanilla and adding another 2 tbsp of irish cream. I tried it once with a semi-sweet/unsweet chocolate mix, but the original mix is definitely better. Also, they taste *spectacular* dipped in tempered chocolate - the contrast of textures is just out of this world :)
Rich and smooth. I doubled the recipe with no problem. What a great recipe for our Christmas platter. Thanks for posting.
This is a wonderful truffle recipe - very easy to make, extremely rich and tastes terrific! The Irish Cream flavor is perfect, not too strong or too mild. After I cooked the mixture, it was a bit grainy as the oil had separated slightly from the chocolate (It may have been my brand of chocolate), so I used my hand held beater and whipped the mixture until it was smooth. Perfect! In addition to cocoa, I rolled some of the balls in ground chocolate or ground toasted almonds. I'm adding this recipe to my collection of Christmas candy favorites. Thanks, Ocean~Ivy!

Some residents and township officials have not given their stamp of approval to a change in mailboxes at a local post office.
The office at 407 Boardman-Canfield Road in the Boardman Plaza had two freestanding mailboxes located behind the building. Last month, those boxes were replaced with one large box.
The box is located in the former drive-through lane of the post office, where people used to be able to purchase stamps and packaging materials, similar to a bank teller lane.
The new set-up is "dangerous," particularly to seniors, said John Farina, a longtime Boardman resident.
"You can get three cars in there at most and you have to wait on Sugartree Drive," he said, listing more problems. "Now you'll have traffic stopped on Sugartree, which is a feeder for people driving behind the plaza. This turn is 180 degrees. If one car gets stalled, you're up against a curb and a building."
Farina contacted Boardman Trustee Thomas Costello about the matter. "When I drove it, I thought 'Boy, this is awkward at best,'" Costello said.
He said that when he called Youngstown Postmaster Tom Kerns, he was told the post office did not have to do a traffic study before making a change, and that it did not have to provide advance notice about the changes.
"Basically, the decision's been made, and they feel this is better for the post office," Costello said.
Kerns said the change was made with consumers in mind.
"This is an operational change that allows us to empty that box more often and get it on earlier dispatch trucks," he said.
Kerns also noted the box holds more mail than the previous two mail boxes combined.
"It's not something we put in brand new, and we're not at all concerned about the safety of the approach because there was a place to buy stamps and packages, and it was set for that," Kerns said. "...We don't make changes just because we feel like making changes."
Still, Farina said that's what it seemed like to him.
"Everybody knows they've congested that area but it's more productive for them. That's exactly my point," he said. "There's the total frustration that we seniors have with moronic decisions. Those boxes were perfectly safe where they were, and I've had enough."
Go to Cornersburg .Best post office in the area. Great people work there and it is safe
The alternative is they take it out altogether and you have to get out of your car and walk. No matter where they put it, it's for convenience. How long does it take to drop mail and pull out....
..and you're asking Costello and the other trustees to make sense of it and do something about it? They just blew township $ on 5 new police cars. There isn't a fully functional brain in the trio.
Personally, I find Mr. Kerns' remarks highly offensive and inconsiderate of the complaints. He seems to be like so many other government employees; condescending and arrogant. It looks what best serves the public is a non occurring thought to him.
Traffic wise it is in an unsafe location for the amount of traffic that uses the mailbox, and Sugartree Dr. Another Drive-up mailbox that is in a dangerous place in on Westchester Dr. in Austintown. It's located in an entrance drive where you have to pull into the drive going in the "wrong" direction. It's on the side where cars that are "exiting" would normally drive, and it's so close to the road that the rear of your car is partially sticking out on Westchester.
At least the Boardman Post Office offers a drive-up mailbox. The Austintown P.O. does not have one, even though there is plenty of room to put one in behind the Austintown Plaza.
In case no one has noticed, the mailboxes that were on street corners in the neighborhoods, and several of the other one's that were in front of businesses have disappeared over the past few years. It's becoming very hard to actually find a mailbox.
The P.O. is doing everything they can to cut their loses and more services will probably disappear,
Yes, Photoman, I thought that too when I read the story. I don't care of the box holds 10 times the mail the old setup did - if it's in the wrong place it's in the wrong place. I always thought when the post office had the drive-up window it was in about the stupidest location they could think of, and now that they've taken the boxes from the rear parking lot, where they weren't hurting anything, and forced anyone who simply wants to drop off a letter to wade into the gridlock. Never mind those who are southbound and must negotiate a hairpin U-turn to use it, and never mind that the former location of the boxes had plenty of maneuvering room. Kerns, in essence, says they don't have to consult anybody, and if we don't like what they did, we can shove it. What a guy.
Those boxes when they were behind the Post Office were the busiest boxes I know of in the Youngstown Postal area and they worked out just fine..Very conveinient for customers. WHY MESS WITH A GOOD THING?? The Postal Service needs to return the boxes back to where they were and put customer service ahead of saving a few secons emptying those boxes.
And the Post Office wonders why they are losing business. Another reason to use email more, eh?
Kerns said the change was made with consumers in mind.
"This is an operational change that allows us to empty that box more often and get it on earlier dispatch trucks," he said.
So I guess the P.O. wasn't allowed to empty the two smaller boxes more often or they were too lazy to empty the two boxes more often. Any guesses on what the truth is? Typical arrogance!
Now the Post Office worker only has to walk 10 yards from the building to the box instead of 50 yards. Customer be damned....let's do what's best for the government worker. And you wonder why the Tea Party has been so successful.
Well there's nothing like the attitude of a lazy overpaid Govt.employee.
His snotty condesending remarks and attitude towards the people who pay his inflated salary and benefits are typical.
I guess the collection boxes in their former location were working to well so the typical Govt.solution would be to screw up something that's been working just fine for years.
The attutide of Kerns and the U.S.Postal Service in general is why they continue to bleed revenue and lose customers.
Thank Heaven for the internet and e-mail.
UPS and Fed X are a much better,safer and efficient way to ship your packages.
If you've ever lost a piece of mail sent through the U.S.Postal Service you'll know exactly why I say UPS or Fed X are a much better alternative for mailing your documents,letters and packages.
As for Kerns he's just another part of the reason the U.S.Postal Service is the screwed up money losing mess it is and in the not to distant future will cease to exist.
When he's (Kerns) standing in line at the employment office he'll get a dose of that famous Govt.I couldn't care less attitude.
Wouldn't it be much easier and better to have a civil attitude with the people you're suppose to be serving ?
Or better yet admit the P.O.made a mistake in moving the collection boxes and put them back where they were.
You see Mr.Kerns people would understand mistakes happen and you thought the change in location of the boxes was a good idea and proceeded with that notion in mind.
Now that's the change has been shown to create a saftey issue and danger for your customers wouldn't it be a benefit for all concerned to admit your mistake and put the boxes back where they can be safely used ?
No need to be snotty and arrogant.
We all make mistakes.
Tea Party has been so successful That has got to be dumbest comment ever put on the Vindy . Now to tea party is going to check the mail boxes !!! BIG Smile , Big Smile .
Freeatlast, where were you on Nov. 2nd.? Not every Republican elected was a Tea Party candidate but I bet that most of them shared a lot of the Tea Party beliefs.
Now where does your reply rank?
I'm starting to understand where the term, "going postal", came from.
How about putting your letters in your mailbox at home and letting the carrier take them? Or you can get out of your car and walk into the post office.
There are lots of things to complain about in the world. This isn't one of them.
Nice thought, Jake, but if the carrier is not delivering anything to your house on the day you put the letters out, he/she is not obligated to pick them up from your house. Just don't wait until the last minute to put out anything with a deadline, as you may miss that deadline. Our family learned this the hard way.

29 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
I have done tons of research and price compairing and the Joovy Caboose is my top pick. And what about Wal-Mart's Free Shipping!! That's GREAT! The black Ultra (2007) model stroller is hard to find and I had no problems on Wal-Mart's web site. The stroller itself is A+! I have a nearly 4 year old and he loves to ride on the back (sitting or standing) as we all go for a stroll. Perfect! I absolutly love the parent organzing tray. This stroller is so versitile and super light weight! It comes pre-assembled. Just add wheels and the canopy & go! Love that! So far I rate this as the BEST! A+ ! I am a happy bargain shopping mom!
I struggled with keeping my year old in a double stroller and it didn't work. She wouldn't stay in and the stroller itself was 1,000 pounds. This stroller is great. She has the freedom to get up or sit as she goes. It is better for my 9 month old who would rather sit in front then way in the back in my other one. The only downside is that the storage area is pretty non-existant. They do send with a device that will hold to water bottles and has a small pocket for other things. The problem I found the biggest is what to do with my diaper bag. If I try to place it over the bars, it hangs on my daughters lap. It certainly won't fit under the stroller, so I either end up carrying it, or asking my daughter nicely to share her seat with it. THis is also a problem if you shop and purchase anything. THere is nowhere to put anything, so you will have to hold onto it. I guess for the convenience of being able to have your children out in public without major fits, it's worth it to have to carry your stuff.
After borrowing the standard Caboose Tandem stroller from a friend, I was a little unsure about this product, but ordered it anyway based on reviews. It has been great! I was soooo glad I spent the extra money and got the ultralight! It turns easily, even with my 45 lb 4 year old on the front and 30 lb 2 year old on the back. I got it mostly to use with my 7 month old and 2 year old, and have to say that it is much easier to push and turn with only them on it.
It steers easily with one hand and the basket holds surprisingly more than I thought it would. The trick is to access it from the bottom using the elastic sides. The parent tray is great, too! My keys and phone are secure inside the pouch and so far, every drink I've tried has fit in the cup holders.
The best part for me is how flat it folds. It's not that much shorter than my old double, but is about one third of the bulk folded up. And it is almost 20 pounds lighter.
The only drawback I've found so far is that the snack tray is a little bit hard to get on and off. Not a huge deal since I leave it on all of the time, but taking it off to wash it or to let me 4 year old sit down was difficult.
After trying everything and I mean everything below $300 for my almost 3 year old and 9 month old boys, I decided this is a very good option.
Pros: Lightweight, folds up flat, plently of room for both boys to grow. Even the front seat seems a lot bigger than my Graco duoglider seats.
Cons: Small basket, minimal recline on the seat, no support on the jump seat for sleeping.
Overall, I think no double stroller is perfect and no one stroller will fit all needs and situations, but I think this will serve my needs for years to come since it has ample room for both boys.
It is MUCH easier to steer than the duoglider, and even its less expensive counterpart, the Joovy regular sit and stand tandem. Also, it folds so much flatter than the Baby Trend version, and is easier to manuver.
I have a 19 month old and a 5 wk old and just used the stroller for the first time. Not good. My older son was not able to sit comfortably bc the new born's carseat extended too far into his seat, which caused him to sort of lean forward in an akward position. I am going to return the stroller bc I can't imagine what a trip to the mall or the zoo would be like if my toddler can't sit in the seat properly. I hope this makes sense and that I've explained it well. I recommend you take both your babies and try this stroller before you buy.
I have owned just about every double stroller out there (seriously) and this is the best! They have thought of EVERYTHING!!! The rear seat even slides so back child can use standing platform easier!! Shade covers both children very very well. Fabric is fabulous and durable!!! I can't say enough good things!!! Do yourself a favor and get this one first!!!
Took my joovy out to the mall for the first time and loved it! It worked great for my 2 month old and 2 year old. Basket underneath is small, but was expecting that. Only a few problems I didn't expect: 1. My 2 year old kept complaining about his neck hitting against the back of the front-seat (it was in the reclined position) everytime I would run in to something (I'll work on my steering skills). However, he was able to sit more comfortably than I expected. He was able to sit up straight, even with the front seat in the reclined position. 2. I had him sitting (don't want him to know about the standing part yet) and his feet could reach the ground. He figured out real quick that he could roll the stroller with his feet. I had to put it into the locked position anytime I didn't have my hands on it to keep them from rolling off or running into someone. Other than that I loved it! It maneuvered very well, even in tight places. My favorite thing about it is it's light weight and folded size. I did not want a stroller that takes up all of my cargo space. I went with the ultralight because it was the lightest stand-on I could find, and I could not imagine having to lift anything heavier. The parent organizer fit a sippy cup and a regular size soft-drink cup well. Folding and un-folding is very easy. Would definately recommend for anyone wanting a sit n stand.
This stroller is very lightweight and moves smoothly. It was hard for my 1.5 year old to fit on the back seat with my infant carseat in the front. There is almost no access to the storage underneath the stroller with or without a kid on the back. It was simple to put together and seems to be made of good materials. Folds up very easliy and fits in the trunk of my smaller car. The sun shade works for the kid in the front and is supposed to work for the kid in the back but my 1.5 year old is too tall and it hits him in the head.
This stroller is great! It was easy to assemble, easy to push. My daughter just turned 3 and loves to get in and out. The seats are comfortable and the harness is just right for my 19 month old son. We had purchased a Double Tandem Stroller prior because you could convert it to a sit n' stand, but it was more work than it was worth and returned it. This stroller is easy to fold and fits just like my regular single stroller in the back. Very lightweight. I would definitely spend the money again for this stroller.
I bought this stroller with great expectations based on the reviews that I read. I was disappointed. It is not as light as I thought it would be. It is also kind of clunky to open and hard to steer. My older son seemed uncomfortable in the caboose section, and my younger son's seat was not padded at all and hardly reclined. The only good thing was the smooth suspension. I suppose its a good stroller if you really have your heart set on buying a sit and stand.
I bought this stroller for my 10 month old and 2 1/2 year old. I must say, this is the easiest stroller I've bought to open and close (I have a graco single, a bob double side by side, and several umbrella strollers). It folds flat enough that it doesn't take up the entire trunk of my car (It's not bulky...I can stack grocery bags on it). My older child loves to ride standing up. I was a little worried when I bought it that she may be a too young for that, but she has no trouble with it. The only downside I found so far is that it does not have very much storage space for a diaper bag so I have to take things out of the bag and place them in the basket or carry the bag. Overall, I really like it and can actually take my kids shopping with me at the mall without stressing whether it will fit thru doorways, etc.
I survived 2 kids with a cheap side-by-side double stroller, but I got rid of it after my youngest turned 2 since I HATED that thing! We are now expecting #3, so I needed a good stroller that would hold up to 3 kids, as well as accomodate my older children who like to get in and out easily. I first purchased the Baby Trend sit'n'stand LX at the recommendation of a friend and knew instantly that I HATED it. It was HUGE, bulky, heavy, hard to steer, and VERY hard to fold. The worst part was that it wouldn't even fit in the trunk of my SUV, it was HUGE even when fully folded. I tried to like it, so I took it to the mall with the 2 older kids a couple of times, but it was terrible, and very cheaply built. I returned it ASAP. I just got the Joovy and took it to the mall, LOVE it! It is very sturdy, well-built, very small for a double, folds small and fits easily in my trunk, very light, and has a great sunshade, as well as many pockets to hold all of the essentials. Although a pricier sit and stand style stroller, it is WELL worth the $$$, trust me, you don't want to be stuck with a stroller that you HATE! Can't wait for baby #3 to come so we can put this to full use!
This is the best stroller. Totally worth the money. We have a 3 1/2 year old and a 3 month old. The 3 1/2 year old loves riding and sitting. No problems steering and easily breaks down. We also used this stroller when a cousin, 2 1/2 years old, came down. Still had plenty of room for both older kids.
I was looking for something like a double stroller, but my 3 year old is too big now for a regular stroller or double stroller. So when I came across the sit and stand stollers, I thougth "GREAT!" The problem with the other sit and stand stollers is that access to the basket underneath is extremely limited. This one solves that problem. Plus I can still use it like a travel system and attach my infant seat to it, and still have room for my toddler to sit or stand. I've only used it a couple of times so far, but I love it! And it turns on a dime and is so easy to push. I personally don't find it heavy, and definately lighter than a double stroller. It fits in the trunk of my Nissan Quest even with the infant carrier conversion piece attached. It is kind of pricey, but good!
We purchased this for a trip to Walt Disney World with a 5 and 2 year old (with number three on the way). The stroller folds quite flat and was easy to drag along on the buses, etc. The kids love it...only drawback is arguments around who should ride in the back (note that the 5 year old does not fit comfortably in the front seat with the tray in place), as well as the small basket under the seats. Easy enough for Grandma and the 5 month pregnant wife to push too. Leave the canopy behind as this makes the stroller more cumbersome.
This stroller is easy to maneuver and relatively light compared to other double strollers. I am happy with the product with only one exception, the basket underneath the stroller is small and very difficult to access. Also, when the stroller is setup for an infant carrier car seat, the extra attachment required makes the stroller longer. It still fits in the back of our SUV if it's at an angle. This is a short term problem until the child is old enough to sit in the front sit without a carrier car seat.
My 3 year old loves it and it was a great help for me once my newborn arrived. It is easy for my 3 year old to get in and out. The storage area holds more than I thought it would. The only difficult thing was taking the car seat adapter on and off when loading it into my car, but I got the hang of it and no longer have issues. I would throw it into the car with it on but it would take up too much room, taking it off makes it compact which is the reason I wanted this stroller in the first place.
With a three year old who wants freedom and a newborn who needs a place to lay, this was the best stroller I could have chosen. The back seat allows for my three year old to get down and "shop" or play while the front is a comfortable and roomy place to put a car seat. Both seats are well padded and i love the larger visor on this one versus the regular joovy.
This is a great stroller if you have an older explorer and a smaller one who needs to sit in a more confined area.
I bought this a wk ago which arrived on yesterday 3/26/2010. I was going to get another one but I read the reviews which told me to purchase this one. Yes I only had it for one day but it works wonderful for us. I really needed so my 2y/o can be strapped down too when we go somewhere, because he takes off. Anyway, I advice anyone to buy the Joovy it's easy to work with, However I was confused when it came to the back wheels but hey that's what I have a husband for. LOL!
I love this stroller! My 11 month old is tall for his age, and fits wonderfully in the front seat. My 2 year old loves the freedom of the backseat. He does tend to make a run for it when it stops, but what 2 year old wouldn't. It is so light compared to my Eddie Bauer double stroller. I can go in and out of stores with ease. I don't like the fact that the back seat doesn't have any place for a sippy cup, but I bought a set that adds on well. I love it!

I'm hosting my WordPress multi-site with MediaTemple on their (dv) VPS. The VPS has a Plesk control panel...not the greatest, but it works. I currently have my sub-sites setup without hosting, as #2 explains here. I'm attempting to get it setup with hosting, as #3 is explained here, for the primary reason of using multiple SSL certificates.
Fast-forward through the tutorial on the second link, and that's where I'm at.
My main domain is nwtd.co, which is located here:
My sub-site is using pactems.orgm which is located here:
It appears that the document root has been set correctly, but permissions seem to be a bit of an issue. The CSS and JS files are "Not found", as seen here
My DocumentRoot for pactems.org is in
/var/www/vhosts/pactems.org/conf/ and looks like:
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/nwtechanddesign.com/nwtd.co
SuexecUserGroup nwtech psacln
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/nwtechanddesign.com/nwtd.co>
AllowOverride All
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/nwtechanddesign.com/nwtd.co>
php_admin_value open_basedir none
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/nwtechanddesign.com/nwtd.co>
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
<Files ~ (\.fcgi)>
SetHandler fcgid-script
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
<Files ~ (\.php)>
SetHandler fcgid-script
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .php
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all
Options -Includes -ExecCGI
The DocumentRoot has the user root and in the group root
The permissions of the directory that the DocumentRoot is pointing to (
/var/www/vhosts/nwtechanddesign.com/nwtd.co/) is 750 and the permissions for the directory css and js files live (
/var/www/vhosts/nwtechanddesign.com/nwtd.co/wp-content/) is 777.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently not using an SSL, but I will as soon as I can resolve the CSS/JS issue. Thanks!
