Where Is God When I Need Him? (3 of 12) by Stan Coffey
This content is part of a series.Where Is God When I Need Him? (3 of 12)
Series: Getting To Know God
Dr. Stan Coffey
Hebrews 4:13
I. The Extent Of God's Omniscience
II. The Application Of God's Omniscience
Today, we are going to talk about the Omniscience of God, that means God knows everything. In Hebrews 4:13 is a marvelous passage of scripture about the omniscience of God. That is just a big word that means that God has all knowledge. That there is no
knowledge that exists outside of the knowledge of God. That God possess all knowledge. And the writer says it like this, Hebrews 4:13 "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight, but all things are naked and open unto the eyes of Him with whom
we have to do." Now prior to that verse in the twelfth verse he say spoken about the word of God and how that the word of God is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart. So he says, "the word of God can reveal the hearts and the intents of the
heart." And then he goes on to say, "and God Himself is a God whose eyes see everything." The prophet said that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro upon the earth. And all through the scripture, God is known as an all-seeing God. That the eye of God sees all
things and therefore God knows all things. And theologians call this the omniscience of God. And this is one of the great attributes of God, God Omniscience. You say, well that is all fine and good that God knows all things, that certainly means that God doesn't
have to go to school, He would make an "A" on every test, wouldn't He? But what does that have to do with my life? Well, today we are going to see that it means some wonderful things to our lives that God is an all seeing God and that God knows
everything. Because to know God and all that He has revealed about Himself is the highest pursuit of life. We should want to know all that there is to know about the omnipotence of God, the power of God; we should want t ...

Unemotional Growth Update
by Jim Stevens (email@example.com)
Burlington, VT (April 8, 1999) -- Time for my monthly update of the Unemotional Growth model. For those of you not familiar with the UG, it's a monthly traded stock screen developed by former Foolish Workshop writer Robert Sheard. It's been backtested or tracked since January 1, 1987.
Picking the stocks for Unemotional Growth is simple; you can do it without a computer or a lot of time. All you need are the current issues of The ValueLine Investment Survey and Investor's Business Daily. Start with the Value Line Timeliness #1 list of 100 stocks. The original backtest threw out any foreign domiciled stocks. With this list in hand, rank each one by its Investor's Business Daily "EPS" score. The top 5 or 10 are the Unemotional Growth stocks. Break ties with the IBD "Relative Strength" score.
Looking back a month to my latest Unemotional Growth report, we can see what the March UG stocks were. Here is how they performed over the March holding period:
Dell Computer (Nasdaq: DELL) -4.28% Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) 18.88% Tellabs Inc. (Nasdaq: TLAB) 19.11% Network Assoc. (Nasdaq: NETA) -34.57% Ryland Group (NYSE: RYL) -4.04% Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL) -31.05% Dycom Inds. (NYSE: DY) 9.28% Waters Corp. (NYSE: WAT) 6.66% MiniMed Inc. (Nasdaq: MNMD) 14.73% CDW Computer Centers (Nasdaq: CDWC) 12.35% UG 5 -0.98% UG 10 0.71%
A pair of poor performing stocks dragged the month down. With a five- or ten-stock model this can be a pitfall. This is one reason many Workshop investors like to spread their portfolio over more than a few stocks.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index tacked on 1.43% during the same March time frame. Year-to-date, the UG5 return is -6.56% and the UG10 1999 return is now -8.94%. For 1999, from the first UG update to April's, the S&P 500 is up 5.25%.
We keep track of the long-term track record of the UG screen on the UG History page. Including the March numbers, the UG5 has returned 35.80% since 1987 and the UG10 26.40%.
From the most recent Workshop Rankings, here are the Unemotional Growth stocks for April 1999. Already a bad start to the month, with more bleeding from Network Associates on restated earnings, analyst downgrades, and shareholder lawsuits. Ouch!
Amer. Eagle Outfitters (Nasdaq: AEOS) Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) Dell Computer (Nasdaq: DELL) Chattem Inc. (Nasdaq: CHTT) Network Assoc. (Nasdaq: NETA) Dycom Inds. (NYSE: DY) MiniMed Inc. (Nasdaq: MNMD) Tellabs Inc. (Nasdaq: TLAB) Waters Corp. (NYSE: WAT) CDW Computer Centers (Nasdaq: CDWC)
Stay Foolish!

So close, PLEASE HELP, top not completely working, crushed wire problem?
So I have now read more about these convertibles than I probably read for my major in college, including ALL the forums I have seen posted here, so I am pretty familiar with the "common" issues, but here is my problem and I would be EXTREMELY grateful to anyone that can help!
First off, I have a crushed wire that I will post a picture of shortly that is in the "typical" place of the first hinge on the driver's side where all the wiring runs. I cut open the nylon jacket and all the wires are in tact, BUT one of the wires is pretty well crushed, and so my question is, even though it's not severed on the outside, could the wire inside be disconnected? If I splice and bypass, is using a larger gauge wire a problem? It's one of the thicker ones, so I don't want to reconnect it with a smaller gauge right?
My syptoms:
Red flashing light of course on the console switch. At the same time the top stopped working, the trunk no longer opened with the key, the button on the trunk, or the button inside by the hood release. Had it diagnosed at indy dealer and he said it was showing that the "open and close circuits are showing that they are simultaneously being pushed". Bought a new console switch for $100 which he said was probably the problem (used from exact same model 2001 330Ci), and as soon as I switched them out the new switch was flashing red too, so no dice there.
At first there was no movement at all. By suggestion of a the BMW indy tech, I pulled the fuses for the radio (stores fault codes?) and disconnected the battery for over an hour (he suggested 30-45 min). Somewhere in the fiddling, my trunk started to work again, and I started to FINALLY get movement!
The problem is that at this point, if I disconnect the battery and reset, I can get the top to go down all by itself but the red flashing light is still on before and after this. Once it's completely down, the button to go up doesn't work at all, BUT, if I disconnect the battery once again, the top will go up, but won't seal at the lid, it just acts like the hydraulics are pushing it but the motor to rotate the hinges to seal into place don't activate. BUT yet again, if I MANUALLY start to turn the latches with a hex key and then I disconnect the battery a third time and then push the top close button, it seals, but then won't go back, until, you guessed it, I disconnect the battery and start all over. And to top off the fun (no pun intended), the trunk is now not working again just as before and disconnecting the battery doesn't seem to change that.
So I guess my questions are:
1) the crushed wire - do you think that could be the source of the problem still even though I have never repaired it to get the initial movement?
2) is there some reset procedure that needs to be done with a computer/scanner that I should take it to the dealer for?
3) am I not pulling ALL the fuses necessary to reset the fault in the system completely, and if so, any idea what they are or would be labeled as?
Thanks again so much if you have any ideas, this has been an extremely frustrating situation, and I have someone looking at the car to buy THIS WEEKEND and I'm sure they won't want it, or will offer a whole lot less if I can't get this working, and I really need the money! I appreciate the help this forum has already been!!!

A thicker wire will not hurt anything as long as it's not too thick. A guage or two thicker isn't going to hurt. It's low hanging fruit, takes all of 10 minutes to do and you'd know right away whether that was the problem. Can a wire be severed or short out inside the sheathing? Yes. Is that the problem? Splice it and see.
I got nothing to offer on other potential problems or fuses. Best of luck.

Good to know, thanks very much Offshore, I just don't like cutting and pasting where it doesn't need it since I am really new to this, but learning fast! And now off to Lowes for a soldering iron!

Hummus with pine nuts recalled over possible listeria contamination

All three brands — Fresh Foods Market, Lantana and Marketside — have pine nuts on top and come in 10-ounce packages. Knoxville, Tennessee-based House of Thaller is recalling the hummus products because ingredient supplier HVF Inc. informed the company that the roasted pine nuts may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes. The products were distributed from April 18 to June 13 in the United States […]
Lawmakers set aside June 29 for possible budget vote
HARTFORD — At least one group of Connecticut legislators says it's pushing forward with a possible state budget vote before the fiscal year ends June 30, even though there's currently no agreement. Democratic leaders of the House of Representatives said Thursday their rank-and-file members prefer voting June 29 on a new two-year-budget rather than allowing Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to use his executive authority to temporarily run state government. If no budget agreement is ready next week, House Speaker […]

I think you are confusing the American people with the American government. I also respect you tremendously for taking an oath to defend the Constitution and the American people with your life.
The problem with gun control is that drugs are already illegal.

Wow !!! This is the best news ive heard yet oleslabside.... Eddie.
Always remember this... " laws that forbid the carrying of fire arms... Disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homocides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man"....we the people will always have and keep our 2 amendment rights !! No doubt.... Eddie.
-Blackstones Commentaries 145146, n. 42 (1803) in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)Americans understood the right of self-preservation as permitting a citizen to repel force by force
when the intervention of society... may be too late to prevent an injury.
And what i mentioned above is the 4th reason why gun control isnt going to happen period..... Eddie
If Obama is opposed to guns, why did his administration just purchase 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition and sniper rounds?
#4. considering this administration has not been able to pass a budget, I doubt they are capable of it.
I don`t Trust ANY of them Period!!!.
Well, Biden is a complete moron and if he is in charge he will screw it all up which is a good thing for us.
Why even try to apply logic,or law to the issue. Obama has always said he would take your guns ,every last one of them.
He is just entering the first step.
This is the man that said the Constitution was outdated and irrelevant .
He said loud and clear that the Supreme court got it wrong and he would fix that.
You would not listen . Now you will pay the price.
Obama said he would change America and he did not mean for the good.
You vote for him now live with it.
Sadly the 3 reasons do not hold a lot of weight.......

I usually refrain from posting articles about lessons learned from disasters, just out of respect for the events. This week though, a valuable leadership lesson was displayed to me and the words "put-out or shut-up" is what cycles through my mind.
Business owners, and individuals the world over have offered help in various forms to the disaster that has played out in Oklahoma. The outpouring of help and love has been tremendous. Unfortunately, as with any natural disaster, there is confusion about how to help, what is needed, and what kind of help will create the greatest impact. Leaders of organizations often know they should do something, but they are just not sure what. At JMARK Business Solutions, where I recently accepted the post as Chief Operations Officer, the discussion on Monday and Tuesday was not one of delay, and wondering if, where, and what help could be given. The decision was made in seconds that we were going to help. We quickly put together a team, equipment, and supplies and sent them in trucks to Moore, Oklahoma.
The leadership lesson in this is this idea of "put out or shut-up." Leaders walk the walk, and talk the talk. They do what they say, and say what they do. While sometimes a decision needs to be analyzed and vetted, there are times when you just need to get off your butt, and act. It does not displace teamwork; it's the team that maximizes the impact.
Sometimes you have to go forward in a direction, not exactly knowing the full impact of the decision. Our team has plenty of food, supplies, and equipment. They have lodging arranged and we have some initial contact with individuals and organizations in Moore that we will be helping, but a lot of it is just pure hope, that we can make an impact. We are not exactly sure what we will do, but do – we will.
The world needs more leaders and more organizations, that are willing to put-out and make the world, and their organizations, a better place. We need more leaders that don't confuse helping, with wanting to help. We need more leaders that don't just offer, they give.

Ughhh…. soooooo…. yea….
"After reviewing the video extensively as we heard Turris' explanation of how the play developed, we concluded that the head was not targeted intentionally or even recklessly and that the circumstances surrounding the hit contributed significantly to the amount of head contact that resulted."
That image above shows that it was, at best, a reckless shot to the head. Forearm is at the neck and shoulder is right at the head. Plus it came from the blindside. oh, and he left his feet. Here's the video again:
We were really big fans of Shanahan at the beginning of the year but now he's just a joke. Between this hit and the Sestito headshot on Horton that went unsuspended things have just gotten awful. He's gone out of his way to criticize Marchand for a minor penalty but thinks this headshot is clean as can be. Absolutely awful. It's still open season on the Boston Bruins. Have at thee, NHL. What a joke.
What's the biggest different between the Bruins and other NHL teams and these non-suspension calls? Claude Julien and the Bruins don't bitch and whine to the media about demanding a suspension. They take the high road. They shrug it off and say "We'll let the league handle that" and that's all is said. What has that gotten the Bs? No suspensions on clear shots to heads of their players. It's sad when crying to the media is the only way to get rules enforced.

The location is gorgeous and the view is stunning. The rooms are OK, rustic is a good description. The private pool is perfect and relaxing. The outdoor shower was great.

The windjammer is the perfect place to stay for a romantic vacation or family vacation. We spent 4 nights celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. I definitely recommend doing the all inclusive.

The Views- Larado, Jade, Chocolat Chocolat has a breath taking view of the Pitons right from the pool, you can sit in the pool and have a majestic backdrop behind you. However, at Ladaro you get the same view and more because Ladaro is located probably ¼ mile in front of chocolat and not only do ...
When we arrived and checked in I did not realize the room we received was not the room we booked-however, the team went above and beyond and moved us to the right room the next afternoon. We visited the spa twice during our visit-excellent. Getting to/from beach via the stairway was fine, however, ...
My husband and I just returned from our belated honeymoon (we got married in October) so I thought I would give my review. It was simply amazing! We've been to several all-inclusive hotels including Riu, Melia, Iberostar and Dreams and Royalton is by far the best resort of all. The resort is clean ...

Hong Kong tycoons lose more than half their riches
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong's 40 richest men have lost over half their combined wealth as the global economic meltdown takes its toll on the capitalist haven's free-wheeling billionaires, but kingpin Li Ka-shing still holds the top spot.
Li, dubbed "Superman," saw almost half his wealth whittled away to leave him with $16.2 billion, Forbes Magazine says in its "Hong Kong's 40 richest" list for 2009.
The head of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa, Li, 80, who fled Japanese-occupied China in 1940, built a plastic flower business into a diversified global business empire.
The fortunes of Hong Kong's top 40 richest plunged from $179 billion a year ago to $82 billion according to Forbes.
The number of billionaires fell from over 40 to 19.
Number two on the list were the feuding Kwok brothers; Walter, Raymond and Thomas, who head up Sun Hung Kai Properties with a net worth of $10.8 billion. Their wealth was eroded by 55 percent amid the financial crisis.
Eldest son Walter, the firm's longstanding helmsman, was last year cut off from the firm by his younger siblings in a major boardroom mutiny, with their octogenarian mother taking over the reins as non-executive chairman.
Meanwhile tycoon Lee Shau-kee, 81, known as Asia's Warren Buffett, saw some of his stock-picking prowess tarnished as Hong Kong's stock market plunged, with a $14 billion fall in wealth. Still third richest in Hong Kong, he's now worth $9 billion.
Macau casino kingpin Stanley Ho, 87, saw his pile of chips crumble 89 percent to $1 billion in a woeful year, sending his ranking plunging from 5th to 19th. Continued...

We just moved into a new home with an installed Sony VPL-VW50 so I don't know what has been going on with the projector. The lamp has 70 hours. The restarting usually occurs a few times, 3-5 rounds, before the projector stays on and runs normally. And once it does that, it tends to be problem-free, until I turn it off and turn on the next time watching a movie.
I tried with different HDMI cables and lengths, also with a PS3 and Sony BD player, still the same problem. I also tried with a VGA cable connected to my PC, it also restarts.
Any help/insight is greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much.

How Push Notifications Will Transform Sports
The NFL is testing iBeacon technology to enhance the fan experience.
Following the MLB's lead, the NFL installed wireless transmitters throughout Times Square and the MetLife Stadium for the Super Bowl last Sunday. The iBeacons can send tailored messages based on the location of smartphone owners around them, enhancing visitor experience with contextually-sensitive news and discounts.
The technology will roll out to several hundred stores and public areas in the coming months, from Macy's, American Eagle Outfitters and Apple to Major League Baseball stadiums.
The iBeacons are already causing a stir, gathering mixed reactions as to the implications that may arise, such as users potentially being spammed with advertisements. However if all turns out well, they will bridge the gap between real and virtual world. "It gives the retailer a chance to have a one-to-one dialogue directly with the consumer," saysAlexis Rask, Chief Revenue Officer of Shopkick.
Much depends on how brands handle the power to immediately reach consumers in stores and public places with push notifications. If pushed too hard, people could reject the technology. But for sports organizations that are based on fandom, there is tremendous opportunity to build relationships with fans by giving them helpful information about their favorite teams.

It's February and I just turned 4.
I've been thinking alot about my siblings lately. I just got another little brother.. Henry.
But I've been asking my dad and papa why they all look different from me?
I'm taller, and have a tail and a different nose? They finally told me why.. And now
they want to help me find my siblings.. Can anyone help?
Here's my story: My mom was a small lab who was found wandering the freeway (East Bay Northern California 4 years ago) with her little pups. She was soo sweet that the foster parents decided to keep her and adopt out her puppies.. Me and my siblings..
On February 14th, 2003 (VALENTINES DAY!) about 7 of us were adopted out through the "HOME AT LAST" organization. At least I think that was the name... We were up for adoption that day on 4th Street in Berkeley California. We were about 8 - 10wks old. (dad already contacted Home at Last but they didn't have records.. funny huh? Perhaps it was a different organization? Cause Papa couldn't really remember.) Dad and Papa said I was tiny.. look at me now! Most of my siblings were brindle patterned but not all. They say I am a labrador pitbull mix. I'm very proud of that.
If there is any way you can help me find my siblings.. Or even if you THINK you may be related PLEASE CONTACT ME! That would be great. I'd like to know if we all inherited a great disposition, or the same ailments.. I'd love to put some closure on this part of my life.
MMMM.. breakfast was good.. got to taste some of Miu Miu's too.. she is SOOOO easilly distracted.. No wonder she's always hungry and eats all her food.. hahahhaahaha.. Winston and I have been sneakin her food for.... hhhhmmm?.. what's that smell? mmmm..interesting.. must investigate.. (Damn I look good today!)
Dear Diary,
I'm a good dog.. I'm a good boy.. I'm a good dog.. I'm a good boy!
Must kick Moo Moos bone under sofa.. Other bone too big for her... oooh here she comes.. la la la.. la la la.. I'm a good dog.. I'm a good boy.. I'm a good dog.. I'm a good boy!
Until next entry.

sandscratch swelling/ buffing
ok, this might be a little long winded....
had this happen on two cars...black and dark green, bc/cc, omni products.and featherfill...
the issue occurred while buffing, the paint was sanded smooth,finished to 1500 grit.
1st pass with compound, white pad,about 2000 rpm.
paint slicked right up, but then noticed what looked like scratches, only a couple, if there ws any bondo at all in this spot it was very thin, maybe a hail dent......car was d/a stripped, epoxied, rage in a couple spots, and then a coat of featherfill. blocked with 80 lightly, then 180, d/a to 220, then urethane primer....then wet sanded to 400-600. car had days in between, coats. when color sanded, it was opened and sat in the sun a couple days.
so...I sanded this area, buffed again, it was slick, then about 30 minutes later...scratches!.
so,,,,it appears that the scratch (swelling) happens when i put the buffing heat on that spot,,,it swells, looks like a scratch, I sand,,,(which is actually sandin a swell) then after buffing it shrinks and makes an actual low scratch..
so then...I sanded the area smooth again, used 3000 grit, and lightly buffed with black pad..this time got NO swelling...so its just a matter of pulling it out into the sun and seeing if it will swell and show scratches.
finally...the questions,,,
whats the deal? I dont think it's trapped solvents, I dont think its air in the bottom of a scratch, I think its 2 different materials expanding at different rates...if it is that what's the fix?
SHINE...before you tell me to lose the urethane and featherfill, know that I already have comitted to epoxy only on the truck I'm doing! lol!
but, even if I used epoxy instead of urethane, wouldnt I see the same problem?

Pocatello native named to Teton Regional Land Trust
DRIGGS, Idaho - A veteran conservationist has been named Land Protection Director for the Teton Regional Land Trust in Driggs. Joselin Matkins comes to the position after five years as Executive Director of the Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust in Pocatello.
She has served as Chair of the Idaho Coalition of Land Trusts since 2009.
"We are delighted that Joselin is joining our team," Teton Regional Land Trust Executive Director Chet Work said, "We've partnered with her on numerous conservation efforts over the years and look forward to the experience and understanding she brings to the position."
Work said Matkins would play an important role as the Land Trust prepares to accommodate expanded federal tax incentives and increases in available funds for purchasing easements. The Teton Regional Land Trust plans to surpass 30,000 acres of protected farms and ranches in eastern Idaho this year.
Matkins is a fourth generation Idahoan, whose family homesteaded in the Roberts-Mud Lake area. She was born in Pocatello and grew up in the Wood River Valley.
She said she has admired the work of the Land Trust. "They are undoubtedly the most successful community-based land trust in Idaho, and it is an honor to become part of their team," said Matkins.
She will replace Babette Thorpe, who transitioned to become Major Gifts Director for the Land Trust.

August 18, 2011
Whenever I am having any type of facial procedure (I've had a number of fillers) I always do a lot of research of the product/procedure AND the doctor performing it. In the past, I've worked with a plastic surgeon for filler injections (Restylane, Juvederm). I recently moved to a different state and didn't have any referrals for Sculptra so I called my dermatologist and they referred me to another derm. office that perform cosmetic procedures. I had a 45 minute consultation with the PA that assists the doctor and she also told me that I would need to massage the area on a 5/5/5 program (5min./5xday/5days). We also discussed using Arnica for bruising (which I had done in the past). Then she gave me some assorted literature on Sculptra, including a DVD. I took it all home, waited a few days, and then made an appt. My first appt. was on Wednesday, 8/17. I look and feel normal. I know it will take 2-3 more visits before I will notice anything, but all the literature tells you to be patient. This is NOT a quick fix. By the way, my cost was $2250 for 3 treatments, 1 vial each (which is plenty for me). I am a very young looking 65 yr. old and am using the Sculptra all along the jaw line (starting from the bottom of my ears) and the hollows under the cheek area. My face has lost a lot of volume and there is some loose skin, but that is expected at my age :) I know you've already spent a lot of $$ and have gone through a couple of procedures, but maybe you could just check around for another doctor's opinon.
October 1, 2011
I had my second injection of Sculptra the other day and I have one very small bruise near my jaw. I did take Arnica Montana (homeopathic) a week before and a few days after. First of all, Sculptra should NOT be injected near the eyes!! It states on their website it is not intended for that area. It seems like a LOT of people have had it (and are still having it) done there. PLEASE do your research people!! In such a large area like San Diego, I am very surprised this doctor is getting away with doing these procedures. I used to live there (and Orange County) but now live in Idaho. By the way, if done properly, Sculptra should last 2 years if you have the 3 (or sometimes 4) sessions they recommend. You also need to massage for 5 days, 5 minutes, 5x per day. I don't know why some doctors are giving out incorrect info to patients AND not even doing what is recommended on the Sculptra Aesthetic website.
December 27, 2011
I have had no issues and had all three injections during the last 5 months. My doctor was a reputable dermatologist and I did my research on the product and followed my aftercare insructions!

Hard Drive Theft Investigation, Analysis Continues
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee continues to investigate the Oct. 2 hard drive theft that occurred in a data closet at its remote training facility in Chattanooga. We are working closely with local, state and federal authorities in their investigation of this crime.
We want to thank our group customers and our members for their patience as we tirelessly analyze the backup tapes of the stolen data. This is a very cumbersome and complex process that we have committed our full resources to.

This team is combing through 300,000 screen image files and reviewing 50,000 hours of audio recordings stored on the stolen drives to determine the exact data at risk.
On Nov. 20, letters to group administrators were mailed out informing our employer groups precisely how we are handling the notification to our impacted members. We anticipate that we will begin notifying affected members by mail beginning Nov. 30, with notifications occurring progressively over several weeks. Any members who are found to have had their Social Security number included in the data will be provided free Equifax credit monitoring for a year.

The common definition of "grief" sounds
Everybody is unique, so everybody grieves a little differently and for different amounts of time. But parts of the grieving process are common to most of us:
It's a simple, painful fact: losing someone is a sad thing. Sadness is a big part of grief. When we lose a loved one, we may feel like crying a lot of the time, and we may feel so overwhelmed with sadness that we become depressed.
Right after someone dies, it's normal for people to feel like they have no emotions at all, like they're numb or are "sleepwalking" through their days. The emotional pain caused by losing somebody can be overpowering, so people "shut down" their feelings without even knowing they're doing it.
In addition to these emotions, grief can also lead to:

One of the highlights of the Miami International Film Festival's first weekend was actor-director John Turturro's fifth feature Fading Gigolo, a genial comedy in which the actor casts himself as a prostitute for hire, and best of all, Woody Allen as his pimp! Although the premise and trailer hint at a broad sex comedy, Turturro's film is instead a tender and mature examination of sexuality and emotional intimacy among average Joe New Yorkers.
Turturro plays Fioravante, a sometime plumber/florist who has fallen on hard times. His older friend Murray (Woody Allen) is also in a financial bind. When Murray's lonely dermatologist (Sharon Stone) confesses to him that she needs a man, he persuades his younger friend to become a lover-for-hire. Fioravante is, of course, reluctant at first, but he needs the money. With his surprising potency with women and Murray's energetic pimping, the duo soon builds a healthy clientele of very satisfied customers (among them, a desperate nymphomaniac played hilariously by Sofia Vergara).
While Turturro is the lead, his performance is a rather low-key one. Instead, it's Allen who gets all the best lines and comedic moments. His timing and delivery during a bizarre kidnapping scene towards the film's climax ranks among the funniest work he's done since Hannah and Her Sisters. Even if the film loses track in its last act by concentrating too much on Fiorovante relationship with a lonely Hassidic widow named Avigal (Vanessa Paradis), Turturro (who also wrote the film) sets things right by ending on a sweet and unexpected note that left me smiling, and the Miami Film Festival audience I watched it with, cheering. Liev Schreiber, Jill Scott and Bob Balaban appear in key supporting roles.

What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
Hello, hopefully someone out there can help us and maybe make it a bit less stressful for us. I have been married 12 years to a wonderful man, and we have 3 good boys. However, our middle son has issues with mental stability and was diagnosed at age 5 with ADHD. However, as the years go by we've always felt more was going on. Recently, we were visited by CPS, because my husband spanked our 2 younger children, and left a bruise. Mind you, we hardly ever use corporal punishment, our discipline of choice are restriction, taking things away, to have them earn them back. But we felt after some incidents that happened, and giving out our normal punishments had no effect, we opted for corporal punishment with a lecture.
Our son with the mental issues had gotten into a car with a stranger 2 days prior to getting a spanking, the day he and his younger brother received their spanking was their father came home from work and found their backpacks on the porch, no children in sight, and he started freaking out. Which I did too, especially after the incident of our son getting into a car with a stranger. Mind you it's a long story, but he totally did not observe the stranger danger rules. I started doing research since the CPS incident, and feel maybe he is bi-polar so I am in the process of finding someone for him.
However, the CPS incident just happened 2 days ago. To make a long story short, they have told my husband he cannot stay at the house, that he will have to do all these classes, and MIGHT be able to come home, but who knows. We do not abuse our children and I am NOT in denial about any kind of abuse. This was a one time thing, and was a spanking gone wrong, nothing more.
But, I just do not know what to do, our oldest son is very angry that his father had to leave the home, he said he doesn't feel that his daddy deserved that. Our middle son acts like nothing is different (reason I believe maybe bi-polar). Our youngest son knows he's gone but doesn't understand why. I do not want to make my husband into a villian, because believe me he is far from it. He loves our boys and he is the kind of father any child would be happy to call daddy.
He is strong, takes care of his family, takes his boys out to do fun things with just daddy, like riding go-karts. He tries to raise our boys to be good men, who don't hit women, who are courteous, and who do the right thing.
Now we feel like our family is being torn apart, and being victimized in a way, from a spanking gone bad so to speak. We would NEVER purposely damage our children. I am sure I will hear a couple posts saying well you did when you spanked them. However, how I grew up was getting spanked when I did something really bad, and knowing the whole time my parents did it with love and really didn't want to do it. And our children know that we don't like to as well, that's the reason we hardly ever spank. But we felt that this deserved more punishment, since the restrictions, taking things away was not working. And we want our children to be safe. There are just too many dangerous people in the world.
I am just not sure what to do, so my husband and I are trying to view this as a TDY (military talk for temporary duty) for us, and to try to make our family work even though it's a bit messed up right now.
He is allowed visitation, but we will have to do it in public, and not at our home. He is now living in a friends barn, since we cannot afford to spend the money for a hotel, and he doesn't want to take away from the family.
I guess my question is...does anyone have any advice on dealing with CPS, and such??? I would appreciate any help on this. We're just numb right now. Thank You for listening

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
That you would never purposely damage your children- is not good enough- both you and your husband need direction and assistance on how to insure that your children would never be put in harm's way- intentionally or otherwise. A spanking that leaves bruises on two children has nothing to do with a means of discipline and has everything to do with your husband being out of control, and out of control long enough to inflict bruises on not one, but two children.
Your husband stays in the barn and takes whatever classes he needs to; you need to get assistance with the chldren's issues and how to deal with their issues and keep them safe. You do nothing contrary to what has been ordered or mandated or your children will be placed out of your home.
Consult with local counsel.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
Thank you for your response. My plan of action so far is to contact a doctor to help re-diagnose my middle son. My second was to find an attorney, so we can have someone to fight for us if need be.
I do understand that leaving a bruise on a child is not right. And yes my husband was very upset at our children for dis-obeying the rules. I don't believe he was out of control in the way that he went beserk. But him and I both were at witts end on trying to figure out how to get them to understand the importance of following the rules.
The last thing we want is for them to learn the hard way and end up either getting molested by a stranger, or killed.
After saturdays incident happening, we were very wary come monday when we couldn't find our children.
I am sure to many it may sound like I am making excuses for the actions of my husband, however I am not. I was very upset about him leaving bruises, and I did speak to him about that when the children went to bed. And believe you me, my husband felt extremely horrible about it as well, and did apologize to our children and to me.
Like I said before, he definetely is not an abuser. And I am definetely not in denial. I will do as CPS asks, however, besides just seeking counsel, is there anything I can do from my end to protect our family from mis-interpretation, or such things? Like, maybe recording the interviews we have to have with CPS, or something of that nature. That way no one comes back later and say they never said that.
I have heard horror stories from people who've dealt with CSP before, and I just don't want our family to be sucked in and become another statistic for CSP abuses.
Again, thanks for your post.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
As long as you insist on defending a beating that left bruises, you can count on not having your husband home.
He needs to consult an attorney before he talks to ANYONE!! And you both need to accept the liklihood that one or both of you will be required to take anger managemtn classes.

A Spanking that left a bruise? That's too hard. Times have changes my friend. One cant spank their own kids anymore. Especially in public. The CPS is a BS orginization. In my opinion. The stories I could tell you about them. In my exp. They want to scare the families that dont need their help and not help the ones that do
The only thing you can do is have him do what they say. If you dont go by their so called 'safety plan' then you, yourself, may have to place the kids out of your care but with someone you choose and you would then be given supervised visitation. If you screw up again they may put them in foster care.

Oh and i forgot to say a few things. I wondnt make excuses for leaving bruises like that other poster said. If your child has ADHD he/she cant help it. Sure he/she knows right from wrong but having a child with ADHD take more effort and patients than being a parent of a child who does not have it.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
First of all I would like to correct your assessment sir or ma'am. It was unequivocally NOT a beating! It was a spanking gone wrong. And yes, I will defend my husband, and our children's father with my last dying breathe. As I would defend my children against him if I felt he was an actual threat to our children.
To better understand the reason behind the spanking, you may need to understand what led up to it. Our children have after school program. So they walk home. When they get home they are suppose to go into the home, lock the door and call us to let us know they are home. They are to remain indoors at all times, not to answer the door period, and to stay inside at all times. And since childcare does not go back to pickup children in after school programs, or the ones that do have no openings, we were left with the only choice of having them walk home. And mind you, this is not our favorite choice. However, we have been having issues recently with them not following directions and the rules.
My middle son decided to get into a vehicle with a stranger 2 days prior because he was outside on his roller blades, and fell. The stranger seen this and stopped. Instead of the stranger coming to get me, or anything remotely correct. He insisted my son get into his vehicle, so he could take him home. First off MAJOR no no! And our children have been taught not to listen to strangers so much, you'd think he wouldn't have listened. But no, he got into the car. Now, granted the stranger did bring him home, but he sure didn't stick around to speak to me, or let me know what he looked like. He honked his horn, and took off before I ever made it to the door.
Then 2 days later, our 2 youngest called us, but they did not stay in the home. They threw their backpacks on the porch and took off. So when my husband came home after picking up our oldest child to find 2 backpacks on the porch, and no children. I would imagine the same scary thoughts would have went through any sane persons mind. WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?!?!? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO THEM?!?!?!?!
My husband proceeded to get in his vehicle and search the neighborhood. Luckily after a few minutes he found our youngest son down the street playing with a friend. He asked him where our middle son was. Turned out he was 10 blocks away, at a friends house that we had yet to meet the parents, or get a phone number from.
Yes my husband spanked my children, after explaining to them the need for rules, and how there are bad people in this world that wish to do them harm. My husband does not like to corporal punish, however this incident warranted a stricter punishment, than taking away toys, games tv, or putting them on restriction. As we have done prior to this, and it still did not curb their need to not listen.
My husband did NOT beat our children, he spanked them. Yes, it left a mark, however, he did not plan on leaving a mark, he did not spank in anger, and he sure didn't abuse our children like many would like to believe.
I came on this forum looking for answers, and maybe some sort of assistance, besides having noses looked down on us. We are a successful family, who have many friends around us who know what kind of parents we are. They know we treat our children well, and we intend ONLY the best for them.
We do not use drugs, we do not drink to excess, we do not curse often, we try to lecture our children instead of using corporal punishment. And the one time an incident does happen, we are forced to now prove ourselves as fit parents.
Now, if you do not think I have the right to be upset about all of this, and try to protect ALL of my family. Then well, that is your right and your opinion. However, I want some legal advice on how to deal with CPS, and what my rights are as a parent, and my husbands, in trying to get the madness removed from our family before it causes significant damages to it. So I came on this forum after stumbling on it while doing a google. I intend to fight for my family, and I intend to keep my children safe. I will do what CPS needs me to do, however, I will not allow anyone to trample on the rights of my family to live a happy and successful life, just because they don't believe in our methods of punishment. And like I said prior, I've been married for 12 years to this man, together for 14, never once has he laid a mean hand on me, or our children. And trust me sir or ma'am, we've dealt with bigger messes than this one when he was in the military, and worried if he would make it home alive. So this is just a stepping stone for us.
If you think I make light about the issue, I do not. I am upset he left bruises, but do I toss him out to be a lowlife scumbag who doesn't deserve to care about his children, or have them care about him? You better bet NOT! And the quicker I get actual helpful answers to my questions on how to handle this and what to do, the faster my family can get back to normal, and my children, husband, and I do not have to feel like we've been violated, or abused.
And to make this abundantly clear to anyone who reads this. I am willing to hear advice that will actually help our family, not to instill more upset it in. We are not above going to classes to help our family, we are not above doing what is asked of us. What we will not tolerate is being bullied around by a big dog without a leash. And sad to say, I've yet to hear any cinderella stories come out of dealings with CPS.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
Thank you for your message. As I told the social worker who came out. I don't condone the bruises at all, but I know that my husband did not mean to do that. Yup, I realize that he had to have hit a little too hard in order to leave those.
The child I have with ADHD (or told he had it 5 years ago) has had his symptoms change, and the more I read up on his symptoms, the more I believe it is bi-polar. And yes I am in the process of trying to find a doctor that is competent in dealing with children with disorders such as these.
However, we were dealing with military doctors prior to this, just a little over a year ago, and trying to find a new doctor, well as you might expect is a nightmare in itself.
I do appreciate your posts, and I appreciate how you delivered it. I did not get the impression that you were being hypocritical of my husband or my family and I do appreciate that. Like I said I am very protective of my family, and in this world we live in, you have to be.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
Having also dealt with, CPS in a negative way, I would STRONGLY caution both you and your husband as to what you say and how you say it to a caseworker. I was amazed at how much of what I had said was twisted and turned against me in my own case. Before I knew it, I was faced with the possible loss of all 5 of my kids - 4 of whom weren't even party to the complaint.
Definitely get an attorney involved, if at all possible and voluntarily seek parenting and anger management classes. I would be very cautious in defending your spouse as it can easily be misconstrued as you "not getting the picture", and being part of the problem.
And, most important of all, never show frustration or anger with what they throw at you. It just gets you the "hostile parent" notation on the chart and warrants further investigation.

All you can do is do exactly what the CPS case worker tells you. If you do not, it will only hurt you.
I think the parenting classes and anger mgmt classes are a great idea.
Regardless of what you think of CPS, the child was left bruising which indicates an excessive punishment. If you discipline the child out of anger then you are more apt to do something like this.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
Yes, I have watched what I said to her thus far, and by the grace of God what I was thinking did not come out of my mouth. And yup, they've already started the twisting, but not from something my husband or I said, but what one of our children said. They said they're daddy is a drunk. Mind you, the one who says it thinks that anyone who has a drink of alcohol is a drunk. So here we go there. That was my first clue that I better get an attorney, cause this was going to be rough.
But when she turned to me after confronting my husband with the issue, and telling him he would be required to leave the home, she said she did not like how he acted to me when he was out of the room. My husband is a man of few words, he finds out what is up, and thinks on it first before proceeding. He's already told me that he packed his things immediately and left immediately, so that she would not think he was being defiant.
Thank you very much for your post, that was helpful. That is what alot of the websites that carries information about these such things was saying as well, but I like to be well cultured in whatever I'm up against. Thanks

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
Yup that's why we told her we would have no problem going to classes. We want this over with quickly and with as less stress on our family than is necessary. The whole reason he got out of the military, with a sucessful career, was because he wanted us as a family to be stable and wanted to be home more often instead of deployed all the time. We believed our boys needed their father home more often.
I don't think anger had played a role in the discipline, as more worry and fear for our childrens safety. But see, what makes me worry about all this is, what would have happened if their dad would have been wrestling with them instead , and left a bruise while they were playing? It just seems to never end with the big brother intrusions on your private family life.
And I am a strong advocate of turn your anger into something pro-active. That you have to feel really strongly about something and become angry about it in order to turn it into something positive.
Thank you for your post, I appreciate the message.
Also if anyone knows what I can do to protect my children from the school, I would appreciate any advice. They are scared now to go to school, because they are worried what the teachers are saying, and they don't feel happy about going back tommorow. I've already told them the teachers were doing what the law commands, but they don't understand that. Just like they don't understand many things. Am I able to speak to the principal about this, and advise her about confidentiality, and that I do not want the teachers talking about this. Also, do I have the right to have the school not speak to my children about this? If so what do I do? I want to make sure that my children are not subjected to interviews by anyone from now on without my prior knowledge, as I want my lawyer to be present with them or myself. Preferrably the lawyer. Possibly they will have to have papers filed prohibiting this?

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
I would change my thinking of protecting the children from the school. The school is mandated to report suspected abuse- and they did as mandated. The school has a right to speak to the children, without you there, as do social workers and others. How your children react and behave is a direct reflection on you; you should be thankful the school was there to protect your children when you were not. They obviously either saw the bruises or the children were upset enough that they relayed what happened to someone they felt safe with.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
That's the reason I was asking questions before acting. I've consulted with a lawyer as of 2 hours ago. He's already advised us to just play the game so to speak with CPS. To follow their plans they put out and to do what is necessary. However, we are to contact him if they go to court for anything. He's already advised us not to tell the school not to talk to our children, however, he also said to make the children aware of what is going on and let them know it is their choice as to whether or not to speak to them.
Yeah my middle son was scared he would get into trouble, because the teacher told him, well I'm calling your father over a homework issue, and our son said no, he's already spanked me and left a mark.
So unfortunately, the school is guilty of trying to instill fear of their father into our children as well. Cause anytime they have an issue with our son, they call us and we come up to the school. Our children are not afraid of us, but they are afraid of getting into trouble.
Also I've contacted a psychiatrist as of today too, got his number from our lawyer. And they will be contacting me to set up an appointment asap in regards to re-examining my childs mental disease.
I appreciate all your advice, and I'm sorry if I freaked out a bit, or was overly assertive. It's just it feels like a nightmare, and unfortunately, or lawyer said it is. So we're going to get through this, and move on as we've always done with problems arise.
Thank you all again, and I'll let you know what happens, just as a courtesy if you'd all like as well.

re: What do I do?? Dealing with CPS
Freakingout, there's no need to respond to each every single response (notice the thread is a bit crowded).
"But him and I both were at witts end on trying to figure out how to get them to understand the importance of following the rules."
Then it sounds like you all may want to read a few books, including perhaps a SuperNanny book or two, and talk with your pediatrician.
"The last thing we want is for them to learn the hard way and end up either getting molested by a stranger, or killed."
There's just something odd about this remark -- "learn the hard way"??
"After saturdays incident happening, we were very wary come monday when we couldn't find our children."
You don't say how old the children are, but presumably they don't get to come and go from school on their own.
You don't say how it is that CPS got involved that I recall.
"And I am definetely not in denial."
For what it's worth from an objective party, folks in denial are, well, in denial. :)
"Like, maybe recording the interviews we have to have with CPS, or something of that nature."
You're free to do that so long as you tell them you're doing so, but that won't ensure they don't misinterpret anything.
"I have heard horror stories from people who've dealt with CSP before, and I just don't want our family to be sucked in and become another statistic for CSP abuses."
Then hire a family law attorney.
