Photo story: Journey to Orpheus - Searching for a cure for black band disease
Dr David Bourne and Dr Yui Sato from AIMS travel annually with the NGO, Earthwatch, to Orpheus Island on the Great Barrier Reef. Their studies are important to finding a solution to control infectious diseases such as black band disease (BBD) in corals.
Research at the Australian Institute of Marine Science is supported by volunteers from Earthwatch. The program focuses on the recovery process of coral reefs following devastating natural disturbance and recurrent outbreaks of black band disease (BBD).

Currently, many coral reefs are under stress due to changes in oceanic conditions resulting from factors such as climate change and pollution.

BBD is the oldest coral disease recorded in the literature dating back to the early 1970s. The original description was from the Caribbean Sea, but it has since been recorded globally. Research will help develop mitigation strategies for reefs around the world.

Wolf Camera plans merger with largest U.S. photo retailer
Atlanta-based Wolf Camera Inc., the second-largest U.S. photo retailer, has agreed to sell its assets to longtime competitor Ritz Camera Centers Inc., the nation's largest photo retailer. Wolf Camera filed an asset sale motion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Georgia, to merge with the Beltsville, Md.-based company.
Following the merger, the combined entity will be based in Beltsville, which is located in the Washington, D.C., area. The company will have more than 1,300 stores in 48 states, with 12,000-plus employees. The Wolf Camera brand will remain in many of the company's established markets, including Atlanta, where Ritz Camera stores will be converted to the Wolf Camera brand.
Layoffs are anticipated at Wolf Camera's corporate headquarters in Alpharetta, Ga., an Atlanta suburb. Founder and CEO Chuck Wolf will assume the title of vice chairman of Ritz Camera and will direct all of the company's retail sales efforts. The company's distribution facility in Alpharetta will remain open as part of the merged company's operation. More than 80 Wolf Camera workers are employed in the distribution facility.
Wolf Camera, a privately held company that has been in business for more than 27 years, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June due to integration problems stemming from its 1998 acquisition of Fox Photo.
General Growth purchases another mall in Tucson area
Chicago-based General Growth Properties Inc. has acquired Tucson Mall in Tucson, Ariz., for $180 million from a partnership that includes Forest City Enterprises Inc., Cleveland. General Growth obtained financing with a short-term acquisition loan and an advance from its revolving line of credit. The company plans to secure a long-term, non-recourse permanent mortgage loan to replace a majority of the interim funding.
The mall produces sales of approximately $411 per sq. ft., and is projected to generate $15 million of net operating income during calendar year 2002.
Originally developed in 1982 and expanded in 1991, the two-level, 1.3 million sq. ft. mall is anchored by Macy's, Robinson-May, Dillard's, Mervyn's, JCPenney and Sears. The center contains 409,000 sq. ft. of shop space and is 92% occupied.
Tucson Mall is the second mall in Tucson to be purchased by the giant REIT. In 1996, General Growth acquired Park Place, a 1.3 million sq. ft. shopping center located on the east side of Tucson.
Polaris Fashion Place attracts 29 new tenants to central Ohio

It is important to pick up on the signs before your drain is unusable. Fortunately for you, this is an easy fix that you do not have to call a professional for if you catch it early enough, as well as an inexpensive fix.

My 50th birthday is next month. Last week I was diagnosed with dry AMD in my left eye and wet macular degeneration in my right.
I sought the eye doctor because I noticed curvy lines when I looked out of my right eye. I realize now that my difficulty seeing at night and that in the evening I see better with two reading glasses than one were symptoms. I didn't know before.
My optometrist told me that she had seen something on my retina two years ago but she never told me to see a retina specialist!
I had an Avastin injection in my right eye last week. My vision is still blurry in the center of my right eye, but I can still read with good light.
I'm scared.
And so my journey begins.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for writing and sharing your story with us. The unknown is indeed scary and how your macular degeneration progresses will be unique to you. Everyone is different.
Many readers have shared how learning and reading about macular degeneration as well as learning about different vision aids has helped with their anxiety and feelings of optimism about the future.
A couple of books that I recommend are:
1. Written by an Ophthalmologist, Dr. Mogk, whose father had macular degeneration.
Macular Degeneration: The Complete Guide to Saving and Maximizing Your Sight
2. Written by a patient with macular degeneration, Dan Roberts.
The First Year: Age-Related Macular Degeneration: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed
Please feel free to share your concerns or questions and we will do our best to help you.
Kind Regards,
Leslie Degner, RN, BSN

In 2002 I was diagnoised with wet AMD in my right eye. I was encouraged to laser my right eye. I was told I also had dry AMD in the left eye. The laser did not work and left me totaly without central vision in my right eye.
I had 20/25 vision in my left eye so this was an adjustment but not impossible. I did fine until 2007. I began to notice things were not straight and people were hard to see from a distance.
I again went to a new specialist. I had developed wet AMD in the left eye. He suggested the injections which were new at the time.
I began in February of 2008 to get injections. I had sucess at first and in 6 months I was completely dry.
Then he tried to go 3 months and it began to bleed again. I went to one a month and changed from Lucentis to Avastin.
I had some success as far as vision but continue to bleed at about the 5 week point. I am now going to be on a 5 week interval. I have had only normal pain and irritation after the injections.
I still vary in my ability to read but things are straight and I can read large print books use the computer - but worry about driving as I had an accident involing only myself but I turned too sharp and scraped the car.
I don't know if it would have happened anyway or if I just had the accident because of the eye problem.
I have a day time only driver's license since last year.

I am 72 years old and have wet macular in both eyes. My twin sister had the wet in one eye first over 2 years ago and so far her other eye is ok.
I had a sudden bleed in right eye a year ago and am receiving shots as my sister is. A year ago I saw the wavy symptons in the left eye and immediately went to doctor and received a shot of Avastin as that was the successful shot for the other eye after trying another shot.
Now I receive the shots a week apart in both eyes every 7 or 8 weeks. I went from 20/600 to 20/30 after receiving the first shot in right eye. So far they seem to be keeping it at bay.
I am an artist selling on Ebay and am able to continue with my work. It seems to effect my reading and driving but not so much the drawing and painting. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I personally know people who have been helped by these shots. I don't know about diet but I do take the AREDS, not too faithfully but I try to remember. I feel genes are the primary cause for what its worth. I also experienced the bleeds after plane flights although they say it's not a cause but the victims say different.
My sister also had been on a plane just before her first symptoms.

I was 59 in July of '09. I was working on my computer and shut it down for the night. Everything was fine.
I went to bed and when I looked at the TV (my right eye was buried in my pillow) I noticed that the person on the screen (a closeup) had no face! There was a big dark purple "thumb print" where his face should be.
I didn't have a clue what this was all about. Then everyone I looked at in person had this "thumb print".
In September, I went to my optometrist. He told me that he saw a bleed in my left eye and that it may absorb in time but I should see an ophthalmologist immediately.
Being uninsured, I couldn't do that, but ended up at an emergency room a couple of weeks later.
The doctor there told me that I have wet AMD and, yep, I should see an ophthalmologist immediately. So, I just lived with it.
I still had one good eye. A few months later, the blood did absorb, but the sight in my left eye is pretty much useless.
In August of '10 I was sitting at my computer and I thought "I need a stronger contact lens" (I only wore one). By the middle of October I finally had to admit that it wasn't safe for me or anyone else for me to drive anymore. I could no longer see dark vehicles, nor could I see traffic signals until I reached the intersections. That is the single worse part for me. Not being able to drive.
In November, I managed to see an ophthalmologist who confirmed the diagnosis and sent me to a retinologist to confirm his diagnosis.
She did, tell me about treatments that could slow the progression down, but without insurance there is nothing she can do...so now I manage by using two pairs of over-the-counter glasses (at the same time) and a 10x magnifying glass to read.
There was a big change between November and December, but I have been taking dietary supplements meant for eye health and there has been no progression since. Of course, it could be coincidence. :-)

Ten years ago an eye doctor spotted the drusen in both eyes and predicted AMD in two or three years.
When in the left eye I saw some lines being curved I went to the Univ Eye clinic in Germany. They took note of it and declined treatment, since there was already scar tissue.
Six months ago the left eye went bananas and now just about everything that should be straight is curvy and there is a shadow in the middle. With both eyes I can function pretty well.
The university doctors said it was not AMD, but then I visited Johns Hopkins who said it was wet AMD and did one injection of Avastin. I'm seeking the same treatment here in Germany and hope it will work.
I've taken Eye Caps for ten years, tried to eat leafy greens. Probably too many carbs.
This sight doesn't appear to discuss the injections. I'm told that there is a 95% chance to preserve my sight. I've heard stories where they don't work.
Does anyone have anything similar to tell?
BK, thank you for taking the time to share your story. Here are the pages on the website that discuss the two most common medications for eye injections:
Avastin Macular Degeneration
Anti-VEGF Therapy using Eye Injections

Report aviation accident
Report incident: 0800 6353 688
The cultivation of hemp is prohibited in the Netherlands. Despite this, there are an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 hemp farms in the country, a large proportion of which are located in homes, exposing neighbouring residents to safety risks. In 4,500 of the 6,000 hemp farms dismantled annually, the power grid is found to be dangerously overloaded. Each year, electricity to the value of €200 million is illegally tapped and at least 65 house fires occur as a result of hemp cultivation. The Dutch Safety Board views this as a serious cause for concern, which has prompted it to examine the safety risks affecting people living near hemp farms.
The commercial cultivation of hemp involves the use of a great deal of equipment in the homes in question. However, homes are not designed for this purpose and are therefore unsuitable for such activity. To make hemp cultivation possible, numerous modifications are necessary. The possible consequences of carrying out these modifications without proper knowledge and expertise include fire, collapsing of the building and harm to the health of neighbouring residents.
To improve the safety of people living near hemp farms, public and private parties must work together and take measures to prevent unsafe situations caused by hemp cultivation. This requires a different way of thinking, one that focuses not on the illegal nature of cultivation, but on the unsafe situations such activity creates for neighbouring residents.

Riley Blake - Handmade Holiday Blog Tour
A big thanks to Riley Blake Designs for hosting this Handmade Holiday Blog Tour. Have you seen all the amazing creations my sewing friends have shared this past week? Don't forget to check out each stop! Tour Schedule December 8, 2015 Opening December 9, 2015 Izzy & Ivy December 10, 2015 GreenStyle December 11, 2015 FooFoo Threads December 14, 2015 Little Lizard King December 15, 2015 browniegoose December 16, 2015 Made for Mermaids Welcome to the Little Lizard King stop along the tour... we have something super special for you today. It is a super secret sneak peek at our newest pattern that is currently in testing! You are going to love this new pattern as much as I do! It truly is a one of a kind top/dress pattern that is stunning with all the details! Meet the Janie Lou. I had the pleasure of drooling over all the gorgeous fabric lines on the Riley Blake website and I couldn't decide on one to sew. I mean how can you narrow it down? So I did what any good mama would do and I asked my daughter to choose. We selected the Woodland Spring line by Dani Mogstad. Sadie fell in love with the sweet animals in the woods. And I thought the mini florals were simply stunning. Add the stripes for a contrast and we had a perfect palette. The Janie Lou pattern features a full twirly skirt for the dress version or an Aline skirt for the tunic version. The animal print called woodland main in aqua would be stunning as the focal point of the dress. I added a mini ruffle to the bottom of the skirt in the floral that is not included in the pattern. The highlight of this pattern is the chevron inset on the bodice. It is simply stunning and to help the pintucks to stand out I chose to use a solid. This is Riley Blake solid in aqua. They have a huge selection of solids and sometimes we sewers don't use enough solids in our creations! A great match to the woodland line. The pintuck construction is described in full in the pattern and if I can do it anyone can!!! (the pattern as alternative options for the bodice also) The woodland petal in navy (florals) is my favorite. If you look really close you will see sweet mushrooms too! I chose to use this print as the side/back bodice and cuffs. Now let's pay attention to those darling cuffs. Remember I said it was all in the details well these won't disappoint. They are created a little sturdy with the use of interfacing and adding an accent button on the corner really makes them POP! The sleeves and sash are done in the woodland strip in navy. But as you can see there are different degrees of thickness and colors in this print. The sash on this pattern can be done in a regular size or jumbo or simply left off if you prefer! The bodice is fully lined and the back has four fabric loopers to allow for ease of fit and for all of you who don't do buttonholes you are saved!!! I needed a little bit of room for my swimmers broad shoulders so I used toggle buttons and they worked perfectly. A trip to the woods to find our forest friends in our new pretty dress was the highlight of our day! The Janie Lou pattern is one you need to add to your wish list. You will love the unique design and stunning details! A pattern that allows you to try new techniques is a lesson in the love of creating! My girl was so excited at getting to help with fabric placement her first lesson in creating!

Updated March 9
Comics are expensive. No longer can people just throw away money on books every week. That's why we try to review as many books as possible each week. From Wednesday right on through to the next Tuesday, we'll continue to add reviews. Keep checking back for more.
In an effort to give readers what they want (and to look cool doing it), we've added a ratings system. However, our rating system is a little different than most. Rather than giving stars or grades, we're providing two-word descriptions that give a sense of a book's overall merit.
Ratings Scale
- Must Have - A home run that can't be missed.
- Must Read - A great tale that most will enjoy.
- Check It - Good, but not a necessity.
- Pass It - Save your cash for better books.
- Burn It - A dubious honor, reserved for the very worst books.
American Virgin #1
Hil's Review: God works in mysterious ways. As the first issue of American Virgin shows, God also has a wicked sense of irony. Adam has a gift. He can sway even the horniest teen to the belief that chastity isn't just a choice, but a destiny. At 21, Adam remains a virgin, sworn to save himself for his girlfriend, who's doing noble work in Africa. Temptation is everywhere and though Adam is a special kid, he's not impervious to lust. This first issue is a great introduction to Adam's plight and a fine launching point for what looks to be a promising series. It's clear Seagle is looking to explore fatalist conservatism with tongue-and-cheek enthusiasm. This series has promise.
Batman and the Monster Men #5
Hil's Review: The penultimate issue introduces the Batmobile into the mythos with some welcome humor from Alfred Pennyworth. The cover looks like it was ripped from the pages of a vampire romance novel and indeed this is more horror story than superhero tale. This may be the best issue so far in the series. Though we get less insight into the mind of young Batman, we see more of Gordon and Alfred. If you haven't been following this series, it's far to late to hop on board, but you will certainly want to look for this one in trade paperback as this is easily one of the best Batman minis in years.
The Exterminators #3
Hil's Review: I've had my doubt about this series, but it appears to finally be on the upswing. This issue was certainly the strongest to date, though it still feels as is the series it's taking a bit too long to develop. You don't want to read this if you have an aversion to bugs or old ladies' boobs (the two go together this ish). If you're not weak of stomach, you may want to give this series a shot.
Fables #47
Hil's Review: This series just doesn't have any slowdown. The second half of the two-part "Ballad of Rodney and June" takes a pleasant turn. This issue is shown from wooden-woman June's perspective and details a quest to satisfy newfound love. As with other Fables tales that have sidestepped from the main storyline, we learn at the end that this story is highly relevant to the lives of our Fabletown mainstays. It's a great story on its own, but the fact that it should prove important to the series sometime in the future is testament to Willingham's overall vision.
Firestorm #23
Hil's Review: Those who have avoided Firestorm in the past may want to take a chance on this first One Year Later issue. There's a surprising change in the tandem that creates Firestorm, which long-time readers will dig. But if you are a newbie, you won't find a better point to hop on. Though this is not an origin story, Moore crafts the narrative to keep new readers from feeling completely out of the loop. Need more reason? How about multiple nuclear explosions?
Matador #6
Hil's Review: Readers who've waited months for the conclusion to this miniseries are in for a shock. The truth behind the Matador's silence (and gunplay skills) is finally revealed. While it's certainly better than the explanation for the return of Jason Todd, some will probably find displeasure in the truth. I can promise you this -- it's not what you're thinking. There's just no way this one crossed your mind. The ending, though somewhat satisfying, doesn't live up to the power of the first few issues. There's a strong hint at a possible sequel, which could prove interesting.
Seven Soldiers: Frankenstin #3
Hil's Review: Bill Willingham turned Detective Chimp into a fan fave in Day of Vengeance, but I'd pay hard money to see Morrison's Frankenstein blow the sleuthing primate's brains all over the DCU. Frankenstein is, hands down, the coolest concoction from the mind of Grant Morrison. Teaming up with the girl created to be his mate (yeah, it's who you're thinking), Frankenstein must take down a government experiment gone horribly awry. The gun-wielding mercenary's place in the scheme of Seven Soldiers is a bit questionable even through this issue, but the story is a blast. Though perhaps not as thrilling as Frankenstein on Mars, it's clear Morrison has a future super-star of the DCU on his hands. How this hasn't become a full-fledged series is beyond me.
Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle #4
Hil's Review: Sometimes Morrison is so into his own ideas he forgets to bring the reader along for the ride. This issue is a head trip, but not in a good way. Purposefully lacking cohesion, this final ish in the Mister Miracle mini is difficult to get into and, as with the previous issue, hard to connect with. What began as one of the better Soldiers minis has become one of the more lackluster. Completists will want to get this anyway, but if money is tight, don't fret letting this one stay on the shelf.
Teen Titans #33
Hil's Review: This might have been a stellar lead-in to Crisis #6 were it not for Nauck's art. It's the little things that add up to one big detraction -- From Superboy's miniature, inset eyes to the identical jawlines of this issue's two heroes. I'm rarely one to complain about art, but too often I found myself frowning at panels. Beyond the art, this is a fine tale that shows the journey of Superboy and Nightwing to Alexander Luthor's hideaway. Johns and Wolfman provide some good characterizations and offer some insight into Superboy. The last third of the story feels a little too convenient, but overall it's a good way to finish off the Titans before things leap ahead One Year Later.

Faeces and stools
What are faeces or stools made up of?
In the average healthy person the stool is made up of Bacteria, water, insoluble fibre, Cellulose, mucilage, mucus and dead cells from exfoliated lining of GI tract and some inorganic salts.
Banana or Sausage or torpedo shaped
100 to 200Gram
100 to 200mm (4 to 8 inches)
25 to 40mm (Half to one and a half inch) largely determined by how healthy the tubular wall of the Colon is.
Moist, Firm, Soft, Solid, Bulky, Slippery, Fluffy, Smooth
The brown shades of faeces are due to bile acids called stercobilin and urobilin which are produced by bacterial degradation of bilirubin.
Bilirubin is formed as a breakdown product of haemoglobin (from red blood cells) in the liver and is secreted into the bile, which is secreted into the intestines.
If the intestinal contents travel at a normal speed, chemical changes in bilirubin produce stool that is light to dark brown. The stool may appear green if the intestinal contents pass through the bowel more rapidly.
Odourless (healthy stool) but depends largely on Diet and Type of resident Bacteria in the Colon.
Bacteria that can digest sulphur containing ingredients can produce the gases Skatole, indole, Mercaptans and hydrogen sulphide which contribute towards the foul smell of faeces.
The soft and bulky consistency of the stool is due to the presence of water and fibre which retains this water. This fibre is insoluble fibre and may be in the form of cellulose or mucilage which is derived exclusively from plant or vegetable articles in the diet.
The mucilage, soluble fibre and bacteria contribute to the stickiness, solidity and firmness of the stool making a well bound stool. A firm and solid stool will not break up while it is half way out of the rectum and anal canal.
Bacteria in the stool are derived from the "friendly or commensal Bacteria" that populate the colon and can contribute up to half the weight of faeces. This huge population of Bacteria provides BULK and hydration to the stool and the property of stickiness and sliminess. This results in a bulky, slippery and firm stool that does not break up during transit.
Broad spectrum Antibiotics tend to destroy good as well as disease causing bacteria and can cause a reduction in the Bacterial population in the colon. The result is the formation of a compacted and hard stool containing undigested fibre that is not bulky enough to distend the muscular wall of the rectum to initiate the defecation reflex which results in the creation of the "urge to go".
The population of "friendly bacteria" can be increased to achieve a firm stool by including Probiotics in the diet –Yoghurt.
Consumption of Prebiotics (soluble fibre, resistant starch) is found to be even more effective as this actually provides food for the bacteria already present in the colon. By feeding on the soluble fibre portion of one's diet, the population of friendly bacteria increases in huge numbers, contributing to the property of solidity, firmness, stickiness, sliminess and moisture in the perfectly formed stool.
The stool is then made by the mixing and churning that takes place in the colon while water is being reabsorbed from the faecal waste.
The strength and tone of the muscles that make up the colon will determine how solid and firm the stool will be.
The perfect diet to make the perfectly formed stool should therefore include
1. Water—drink plenty of fluids to keep the body rehydrated at all times
2. Soluble and Insoluble fibre
it is very important to eat foods from the plant family. Fibre is ONLY available from vegetables. There is NO FIBRE at all in meat or dairy. Meat eaters should remember this fact.
The soluble fibre feeds the friendly Bacteria that reside in the colon and the insoluble fibre holds on to water to swell up and provide bulk to the stool. The result is a perfectly formed stool that is moist, soft and yet firm, solid and well bound, bulky due to the water retaining power of the insoluble fibre and bacterial cells, slippery and smooth for effortless exit.
How to heal and prevent Bowel disorders
Diet is not about what you should NOT eat, it's about what you should include in the diet that matters.
As long as your diet includes the correct balance of plant foods containing soluble fibre, insoluble fibre and resistant starch your colon will produce the perfectly formed stool. The important next step is to evacuate this stool without straining so that the body does not suffer from the pressures created each time the bowel is emptied.
In order to heal and prevent bowel disorders you need to make lifestyle changes that last the rest of your life time.
1. Include more fluids and plant food containing soluble fibre, insoluble fibre and resistant starch in the diet so that the perfectly formed stool will be made in the colon and beneficial bacteria will flourish and eliminate disease causing bacteria and fungi.
2. Evacuate the perfectly formed stool by adopting the squat posture to eliminate the need to strain during bowel movements.
It is not possible or safe to squat on the modern raised toilet seat installed in all western homes and it is impossible to squat for any length of time if you have not done this from childhood onwards. This makes the use of any raised platforms impossible to adapt to.
The SquattLooStool is designed to allow you to adopt the squat posture while seated comfortably on your raised toilet seat. The single best and easiest lifestyle change you will ever make, leading to a healthier body.

It's a memory close to Bernice King's heart...the kissing game.
After long trips away from home, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would call out his children's names. Each child had a designated spot to kiss on his face.
"I would run up into his arms and he would say, 'Okay, we're going to play the kissing game today,'" Bernice King said. "He would say, 'Where is it?' and he would go through everybody's name, and I would kiss him on each one of those spots."
Bernice King's spot was her father's forehead.
Five years her senior, brother Martin King III remembered throwing a ball with his dad and younger brother Dexter. King remembered how his father taught him and most of his siblings how to swim at the YMCA, and remembered traveling with his father as he crusaded for justice. In particular, he recalled being scared by a police officer's dog during a 1964 trip to St. Augustine, Florida.
"Because I was right there near him and could grab ahold of his pants leg, I could put my arm around his pants, I was comforted, by him," Martin King said.
He didn't realize how important his father and the work he did was until he was gone.
"I realized the true significance of who our father was at the time of the funeral," he said.
The service was attended by not only by politicians and celebrities, but also the thousands who lined the streets for miles to see Dr. King's funeral procession.
"We marched from Ebenezer Church to Moorehouse College for the second service, and there was not an empty spot on any of those streets," he said.
Bernice and Martin said their father and mother, Coretta Scott King, shielded them as much as possible from the violence directed at their family. But Coretta King could not protect her children from Dr. King's murder. The three oldest children - Yolanda, Martin, and Dexter - learned their father had been shot while watching the evening news.
The children went to their mother, who had already spoken to Andrew Young and Jesse Jackson. Mrs. King was about to board a plane to Memphis when she learned Dr. King had died.
She returned home to her children.
"She said to us, your father is gone home to be with God," Martin said. "When you see him, he will not be able to hug and embrace you as you often experienced. But God rewards his servants and brings them home when they've served him well."
Bernice King learned about her father's death at the airport when her family received Dr. King's body.
"My mother explained to me that, 'Your father is in a casket asleep and he won't be able to speak to you when you see him,'" she said. "I heard this wind type of noise and I said, 'Daddy's back there breathing.' And she said, 'No baby, baby that's the plane.'"
Bernice was even more confused at the funeral service when a portion of Dr. King's last sermon at Ebenezer was played over the speakers.
"As soon as it started I was asleep and I woke up, and I was, you know, looking around because a child knows their father's voice," she said. "I was looking for him, and mother told me I was looking at the casket as if he were going to come up out of it."
For Martin King, the way his father died was at great odds with how he lived.
"I think I was looking with bewilderment and a lot of confusion," he said. "We knew that Daddy articulated and embraced love, and so it's contradictory for a man who was advocating love to be killed in a violent way."
While violence met their father in Memphis, the King children have a number of times reached out to the Bluff City with love. Yolanda, Martin, and Dexter accompanied their mother to lead a demonstration Dr. King had intended to lead on behalf of striking sanitation workers.
Bernice admits she avoided Memphis for years, mostly because she was unsure about the emotional impact it would have on her. She first visited the city in the 90's. It was then, she said, she realized Memphis was just another city.
"It just so happens to be the city where our father was assassinated," she said. "It becomes a significant city because of that. It will always have that marker for us."

Hillary Clinton's minions are hard at work assembling a political machine and fine tuning it for another go at the White House. Mrs. Clinton is doing her part preparing for a run as well, churning out a bland memoir about the "hard choices" she faced as secretary of state and coyly positioning herself (again) as the inevitable nominee of the party. But after the troubled beginning to her book tour, we're beginning to see the reasons why Hillary may eventually decide to pull the plug on a 2016 presidential run. Here are five:

Main Difference Between Mossy 500 & 590?
They're both 12 gauge right? I handled both of these at a local store during my visit to South Texas in October and the 500 was almost $100 more. I couldn't really tell the difference externally. I think I remember the 500 having the ported barrel or it's a heat shield or something along the top of the barrel that's ported...? I'm a complete novice with shotguns but that's what I plan to buy next because I know a decent reliable one can be had for cheap. Sometimes I think I want a good old fashioned wood stock w/ matching furniture because in my over-active imagination, it becomes a club after you run out of ammo, you know, like a Remington, the other price/reliablility competing shotty on my mind. Then I think: ghost ring night sights, tactical sling, pistol grip, top-folding stock w/ extra shell holder, etc. Who else has faced this dilemma and what did you choose? For those who went with Mossberg, can you address the differences between the 500 and the 590? Aren't there also "A" models? Is it the 590A?!?
You have the right to be offended.

Okay, the 500 is the base model mossberg. It ussually has a 28" barrel and wood stocks. It holds 5 rounds in the magazine tube + 1 in the chamber. It should be about 220 ish.
The 590 is a military/police shotgun that has composite stocks and holds 8 rounds in the magazine tube + 1 in the chamber. It can have a multitude of accessories including ghost-ring sights, and a heatshield.
The 500a is a mossberg 500 with an 18.5" barrel and black synthetic stocks. It is kind of a 500/590 middle ground. It holds the same amount of shells as the 500 and is packaged with a pistol grip as well as a full stock.
That ported thing is a heatshield, it protects your hand from being burned by the hot barrel after firing.
Now, the pricing should be like this:
mossberg 500 or 500a = low 200's
Mossberg 590 = 400ish but I haven't looked at prices for one in quite some time. The 590A1 model has a bayonet lug as well as a steel safety switch and trigger guard IIRC.
All are 12 guage, but the 500 comes in 20 and .410 as well.
Hope this helps
Oh, and you can get all the extra gizmo's but it will cost you, and none of that stuff is going to be replacing experience.
Personally, i love the looks of my plain 500a with the bead removed. It looks very buisness-like.
"The SKS is a rifle, made the way they should be, out of a heavy block of crappy commie steel, set in an inletted semi-reshaped 2x4."
Not my quote but I agree completely.

The Model 500 is the "budget" Mossberg.
The 590 series is the beefed-up and "enhanced" Military and Police version.
The Model 500 is available in a wide variety of options including 5 shot or long 8 shot magazines, and choices in wood or synthetic stocks, pistol grip-only grips, and other options.
The Model 500 usually has a commercial type blued finish on the steel and a shiny finish on the aluminum receiver.
The Model 590 and 590-A1 have the same basic aluminum receiver and action as the 500, but use a Remington-type magazine tube and barrel mounting system.
These stronger versions have heavier barrels and are built to a stronger, higher standard for use by military and police buyers.
These usually have a military grade parkerized finish on the steel parts and a dull anodized finish on the aluminum receiver.
These versions can be had with options like bayonet mounts, ghost ring sights, and barrel shrouds.
The 590-A1 is the actual version now bought by the US Government, and has a metal trigger guard versus the 500 and 590's plastic, a metal safety switch, and a thicker barrel.

In gunsmithing school I got the impression that the Mossy is the best pump gun for the money and the Rem 870 is the best period. I seriously doubt that most people wil stress them enough to notice any difference.

It sounds like I'll be asking Santa for a 590-A1 this Christmas.

Just a FYI - I found Bud's Gun Shop to have about the best price around on the 590. They were sold out when I ordered mine, so I had to pay $20 more from some guy off gunbroker.
Of course they got more stock the day after it arrived at my FFL.

I just got a 500 and you will not be disappointed in the least.
The ported barrel makes a full magazine a dream to blast away and it hasnt skipped a beat yet. I find the dual extractors quite attractive because i have a felling that that shotgun is going to see some rough days and i feel confident that itll go boom every time i shuck it and pull the trigger.
I love the smell of fresh shotgun in the morning.

I just got a Mossy 590 A1 for $300. I think that its going to be a really good SG. They also had a Remmington 870 Magnum that looked very very nice but they wanted $425.
I'm glad this topic is in this forum because it's made me feel real confident in my purchase. I heard (from here) that Mossberg was second to Remington in quality and the gun shop told me that only the Mossberg 590 survived the military's torture test without failure. I don't know about that but it feels like a real sturdy gun.
Now I just have to find a shotgun range and become proficient with it.

I have the M500A, and although it doesn't get out much, I did run 70 rounds through it on it's last range trip and it performed flawlessly, even when emptying the magazine as fast as possible. I am going to get the specops recoil reducing stock for it though, maybe that way I'll bring it to the range more often, plus it can then be adjusted to fit my shorter armed wife.

☐ Dear Scoundrel
Summer is finally over – w00t!
It's time to Follow-the-Yellow-Brick-Road & fix that Pothole!
Many may find the blistering cold hard to hold, but for the rest - (you know who you are), you question the origin-of-sex like a whiney little bitch.
From being the "MR.NICE-GUY" to having the "HOTS-for-TEACHER", an unfair "3-SOME" to a girlfriend who wants the "COOL-RIDER"...
Well, let your questions be answered in the monthly "Dear Scoundrel" columns, found in-between the pages of Penthouse magazine, located at your nearest newsstand. Don't just stick your head inside a centerfold - exercise your mind, while you exercise your eye. Little do you'll realize, girls are much easier to please than you think.
... just don't ask for your money back. =)

The bosses of Tupac Shakur's estate have warned they will sue anyone who tries to sell a sex tape allegedly featuring the rapper.
The explicit footage was recently made public, and purportedly shows the hip-hop icon topless at a house party while he receives oral sex from a female groupie.
The video, shot in 1991, has caught the attention of several porn companies, who want to buy the tape from its unknown owner to sell to customers.
Administrators of Shakur's estate are determined to stop the tape from ever being released, and are threatening legal action against anyone who tries to profit of the star's image.
A spokesperson says, "We will sue anyone who tries to sell a Tupac tape."
Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996, aged 25.

PetroChina, Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco and British Petroleum are some of the top petroleum companies in the world when measured by revenue in U.S. dollars, as of 2014. However, when measured in terms of oil produced per day, Russia's state-owned Gazprom and the National Iranian Oil Company are the second and third largest oil companies in the world respectively. Many of the companies with the highest revenue earn much of it through refining consumer products.
Founded in 1999, PetroChina has grown quickly to become the largest of China's three giant state-owned oil companies. The company produces 4.4 million barrels of oil per day and has invested heavily in African oil fields.
Created in 1907, Royal Dutch Shell produces 3.9 million barrels per day but generates much of its revenue through gas stations and automotive motor oils. ExxonMobil and British Petroleum produce 5.3 million and 4.1 million barrels per day respectively and have similar business models to Royal Dutch Shell. The companies have been in business a long time, have oil and gas fields worldwide and produce billions of dollars in consumer products.
Saudi Arabia's Aramco is one of the biggest however it is measured. Aramco produces over 12 million barrels oil per day which generates $1 billion per day in revenue. Only Aramco pumps more oil than Gazprom's 9.7 million barrels per day. However, Gazprom does not report its revenues, a significant portion of which are not transacted in U.S. dollars or open markets.
The National Iranian Oil Company is the third largest oil producer in the world, but due to international sanctions because of the country's nuclear program it has had a hard time selling it.

French Drains
French Drains in St Louis, MO
Do you have water pooling in the yard, or leaking in the basement, every time it rains? Do you "really" need waterproofing? Or do you simply need to re-direct the water away from your house.
If excess water is making your St Louis, MO yard seem soggy or is flooding your basement or crawl space, you may need to install a drainage system to help avoid further damage. Rain and groundwater can accumulate in your yard and cause soil erosion and water damage to your home. This damage can be quite serious if left untreated. Fortunately, French Drains Of St. Louis, LLC can install a drainage system for your property to keep your home dry and protected.
Most foundation and basement leaks are caused by hydrostatic pressure from poor rainwater drainage. Most of these problems can be resolved by making simple and inexpensive rainwater drainage corrections (French drains, downspout extensions, etc.). French drains are a healthy and effective solution that could save you hundreds of dollars over traditional solutions.
No more water in the home when it rains!
We will custom design a drainage system that moves all rainwater from your roof to a downspout, from the downspount into a french drain, from the french drain to a discharge line, then away to a harmless location. Instead of rainwater puddling in your yard or flowing into your basement and leaking into your house, our systems will move the water away and keep your home safe and dry!
We are a low overhead service provider with years of experience in solving water problems affordably for homeowners, real estate agents, and property managers.
When dealing with water leaks, the first step is to find a contractor you can trust. Choosing the wrong company can lead to a drawn-out and costly affair that only solves the problem in the short-term, if at all. At French Drains Of St. Louis, LLC, we've made a name for ourselves as the hardest working waterproofers and french drain specialists in the business, by providing top-quality services at unbeatable prices. We are a full-service commercial and residential waterproofer on a mission: to fix leaks at the source so they don't return, ever. Of course, this hurts our repeat business, but referrals from satisfied customers are through the roof!
Call us today!....You will be glad you did! :-)
Before .... During
Excellent service, professional and very nice people
My basement leaked water every time we got heavy rain. I had several companies give me bids for a french drain but this company was the only one that correctly identified where all the water was coming from and where the french drain needed to be installed. Mr Evans took the time to point out where the water was draining into my yard and I was amazed nobody else identified it as I could easily see he evaluation was correct. Had I gone with any of the other contractors I'd have spent a lot of money and still had a leaking basement. The work crew came out, very nice and polite young men, as promised without delays, worked hard and did a great job. Overall I couldn't be more pleased with the work done and I am enjoying a dry basement even during the heaviest rains. I will recommend this company to anyone with complete confidence.
Mr. Evans is very warm and informative. He gave me so much information on how water gets into your foundation. He is not into taking your money. He will recommend what you need done and there is no pressure. I will definitely be contacting him again in the future. I greatly appreciate his wisdom and great service.
excellent job
I got several quotes for french drains that went completely around my house. Bob Evans was the only one to study the basement, really study the yard during the quote. He runs his own team, is on the job, instead of larger companies where the owner is not at all involved. you get all his experience through the job, instead of just getting a random foreman or team--that is a key reason I am glad I chose them. They did an excellent job and were courteous, prompt, and really cleaned up the site nicely. They test every drain as they go and get the grade right. I recomend them without any reservations. Their pricing was competitive.
Excellent work! Fantastic owner!
We called Foundation Protection Services for a drainage issue on the side of our house last fall. The owner Bob and his crew r wonderful to work with. They r professional, polite and truly deliver on the old adage, "The customer is always right." Bob is the friendliest, easiest person to talk to and he assures that u r completely satisfied with every aspect of the job. We were so happy with the work he did in the fall that we called him back this Spring to fix our backyard too! Could not recommend a contractor more highly than this company.
Excellent work and a pleasure to work with!
I had a great experience with FPS. The owner, Bob Evans, is an absolute professional, and a genuinely nice person. Bob enjoys his work and takes pride in everything he does. Bob met with me several times and answered every question I had. He came up with a reasonable proposal that accomplished everything I was looking for. His price was very fair for the work. About a week after the drainage work was complete, we had a heavy rain and I "caught" Bob at the house inspecting the work to make sure everything was ok. I highly recommend Bob and his team!
We were selling our house and needed a downspout extension installed VERY quickly(Within 2 weeks). Even though they had a backlog, they worked on the weekend to get the project completed by my closing date. They were able to come look at the house the same day I called to get us a free estimate. The install looks great, and was done right the first time. Very friendly and easy to work with, and also had very good prices. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.
Amazing Results & Excellent Customer Service
After noticing some pooling of water around my foundation and with plans to finish my basement, I contacted Foundation Protection Services to evaluate these issues. I arranged an appointment with Mr. Evans (Owner/Operator of this company). Mr. Evans came to my home, reviewed my concerns, examined my property and explained to me the potential for water in my basement and suggested the following preventive steps be taken: Downspout Extensions Sump Pump Discharge Extension At a time that was convenient for me, a crew arrived and performed the above suggested measures. Workers were extremely knowledgeable, polite and worked quickly to repair the identified problems. After just a few hours, the extensions had been installed, trenches were filled (sod replaced on top) and excess dirt was distributed evenly around my foundation to improve the grade. The result was excellent and there was virtually nothing that had to be done to follow up. I was impressed with the quality of the work and at $600, I felt I had gotten a real bargain. I am moving ahead now with my plans to finish my basement without worrying about water coming in. I would highly recommend this company for any foundation water problem!
Work was excellent, I couldn't be more pleased.
Reasonably priced, outstanding knowledge, hard workers
I used Foundation Protection Services to complete two different jobs at my house. I initially called Bob because water was seeping into my basement walk out door everytime we got a heavy rain. Bob installed a french drain along the backside of my house to fix this. On this same project, he tied a gutter downspout into the drain, and ran the line out deep into the backyard away from the house. Working with Bob was excellent. He is a true professional, and took time to walk around my house with me showing potential problem spots and educating me on how rain water flows around my house and the basics of hydrostatic pressure. My basement has been bone dry since this installation. A perfect fix. On the second job (much smaller), Bob buried a gutter downspout in my front yard and ran it out well away from the front of the house. I have had ZERO problems with water in my house since I hired Bob. And if I ever have an issue again, he'll be the first person I call. Call Bob before you call Helitech or any comparable company, because he could save you literally thousands of dollars and create a more efficient solution for water in your basement. Highly recommend.
Very good
Better price than the competition and perfect execution. Friendly too. Can't beat that !
Wonderful service, promises delivered
Every time there was a big rainstorm we had water in the basement of our newly purchased house. Foundation Protection Services came out to take a look, made a great assessment of the situation and gave us a very reasonable quote. They were quick, friendly and professional. We had new French drains put in (our old ones were not done correctly) and the work was done in no time and without damage to our yard. A few weeks after our new drains were put in we had a terrible rainstorm again and our basement stayed completely dry. Talk about being a happy customer!

MY WEEKS -- June 29-July 30
The Legislature is in recess until the beginning of August. During the interim, I've been holding community meetings in Senate District 15 and working on legislative issues.
• I convened a community workshop on fire safety at the Redwood Estate's Pavilion to inform residents about what they can do to protect their home and how a new program to clear deadwood, funded by a grant I helped obtained, can reduce fire danger along Highway 17. Participants included CalFire, the FireSafe Council, Santa Clara County Fire Dept., the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and Caltrans.
• Since 2008, I've been holding community coffees, talking to people face-to-face about state-related issues, such as college tuition, homelessness, the rising cost of health coverage, and more. They tell me what's on their minds and it helps examine policies and laws in a different light. My latest community coffee was held in late July in San Jose.
• I met with constituents and representatives for organizations, including:
The California Transportation Commission; the Office of the Governor; Campbell Vice Mayor Liz Gibbons; San Jose Water Company; the Bay Area Caucus Transportation Committee; Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen; Santa Clara Valley Water District Chief Interim Executive Officer Norma Camacho; Santa Clara Valley Water District Director Gary Kremin; Los Gatos Town Council Member Rob Rennie; League of California Cities Peninsula Division; Legislative Analyst's Office; League of California Cities; California State Department of Finance.
• I took part in a Wake Up to Aging: Policy & Aging Compendium panel in San Jose, taking part in a dialogue about issues confronting California's burgeoning population of seniors. Demographers project that one in five Californians in 2030 will be over 65.

Dutch Destruction There was heavy rain in the Netherlands on Thursday morning, but that wasn't the only reason for the delay at the Euro Tour's KLM Open. NBC Sports's Ryan Ballengee fleshes out an AP report on some unauthorized maintenance to the host course:
The start of play at the KLM Open was delayed on Thursday in the Netherlands when officials discovered four greens at Hilversum Golf Club had been vandalized. Greens at the fourth through sixth and ninths holes had been dug up, causing a 45-minute delay.
The areas that required fixing on those four greens will be considered ground under repair, similar to what was done at the PGA Championship when equipment used by maintenance staff caused damage to two greens at Atlanta Athletic Club.
Still no word on who the culprits were or what their motivation may have been. But assuming they're eventually brought to justice, this incident may turn out to be even more litigious than the PGA Championship mishap that it resembles. Lewis Won't Take the Easy Way Out When 20-year-old Tom Lewis burst onto the scene with a 65 in the first round of this year's British Open, there was some speculation that the English amateur would immediately turn pro. Instead, Lewis insisted that his true goal for the year was to play in the Walker Cup, a goal he's finally getting around to this week. According to James Corrigan of The Independent (UK), Lewis is all-in on his golf career, as his determination to be a pro and his struggle with dyslexia have left him without any fallbacks. That's not to say Lewis didn't have the opportunity for an education, though:
Yet despite his dyslexia and his lack of interest there was the chance to further his education. The majority of those who will line up with and against him at the Walker Cup are on University scholarships and the talent-hunters focus on the scorecards rather than the exam marks. "I was asked if I wanted to go to US college and was told not to worry about my schoolwork – they would do it for me," said Lewis. "But I didn't want to do that. If I was going to do it, I was going to do it properly. I wasn't going to sit in class and let someone else do my work. What's the point of that?"
I'd really encourage you to read the entire story, as Corrigan does a fantastic job exploring one of the game's best amateurs. Win-derful Golf Channel has a great behind-the-scenes video detailing Win McMurray's photo shoot for Golf Magazine's No. 1 Issue. You can read her interview from our No. 1 People Portfolio here. Tweet of the Day Some great news from J.B. Holmes on Thursday:
Best of luck to Holmes, who is recovering from brain surgery and likely still months away from any sort of competitive golf.

Blinded by BloggingMarch 26, 2015
I think as a blogger we're so sucked into everyday life being placed on social media in the most perfect and pristine way. It's all about the perfect instagram photo and the weekly manicures and now the snapchats of "daily life" that are also, mostly staged. I too have fallen into the well lit photos and the moments of only sharing what's perfect and pretty but lately, I'm so drawn to being real. What a concept! This doesn't come from a hateful or bashing way but in a sense that I want the people following me and keeping up to date with my life and kids to feel inspired because I live a normal life.
I'm up at 6am with a baby, getting a 9 year old off to school, hitting the gym and then not even getting ready for the day sometimes until 2pm IF I even get ready for the day. If we're being honest, I tend to get blinded by a needy baby and client emails that half the time, I'm a smelly mess until the kids are asleep for the night. So realistically, I don't have time to stage a great photo or share peeks of blogging details because shit, I'm busy being a mom and business woman. Truthfully, there is a day in a week that I can manage to get ready and enjoy a Starbucks or even a lunch out with a friend but guys, that's a rare occasion.
The intent of this post has everything to do with our new home. I'm so enamored with the lovely pinterest kitchens and home decor and find myself in this season of life lusting over everything that's trendy and EXPENSIVE. K, we don't have a money tree in our yard... or world so the things I see and pin and would die to have in our new home just.can't.happen. That's the reality of it and that's something I've had a hard time swallowing when Andrew and I have house talks - which is daily now - about what we can and can't afford. Are upgraded countertops throughout the house a must? No. Do we need to do custom flooring right when we close? Not at all. How about the 6 inch crown moulding and baseboards? Nope. We can't afford it and that's okay.
We're 25 and 27 with two kids and just getting into our dream home after our starter home. We really don't even need the space this new home offers but we're blessed to be able to afford that. We are lucky to have the ability to have kids with their own rooms, a guest room, an office and heck- a 4 car garage. But cosmetically, it's going to be a journey over time making it perfect for us.
Being in this world of "perfect" makes me want want want and it's not healthy. It's outrageous I now have expectations of a $40,000 kitchen because she has it. I mean, snap out of it. I'm excited to be sharing this home journey with you guys but please know, if you're expecting the most perfect home when we move in come August, you won't be seeing that. It's going to be real and down and dirty for a while so we can simply adjust and embrace the new blessing of our dream home.

Bear Steals Dumpster from Colorado Springs Restaurant
This is one hungry bear! Why would any bear want to waste their energy hunting when they can just steal a dumpster.
It seems like today bears are moving away from hunting and doing more shopping in dumpsters!
This bear in the video clip pulls out a trash container that is on wheels and simple wheels it way!
Very impressive Yogi!

{ad}I enjoyed using the HTC Touch device with its great TouchFLO technology and interface. However, the experience suffered when you launched the lame standard Windows Media Player Mobile or Pictures and Videos applications. Conduits Technologies, Inc. announced the release of Pocket Player 3.5 for Standard and Professional devices, as well as for older Windows Mobile devices. It is wonderful to see a third party trying to innovate in the portable media player area where Microsoft keeps bringing a desktop experience to the mobile device. The new Conduits Pocket Player reminds me a lot of the excellent iPhone/iPod Touch media player and should be adopted by Microsoft in its next Windows Mobile update or at least integrate many of these same functions.
The press release says Pocket Player 3.5 allows you to use finger gestures with touch screen devices to scroll up and down, navigate left and right, and quickly jump using A to Z tabs on the right side of the display (ala iPhone Contacts). On non-touch screen devices with a QWERTY keyboard (i.e. the T-Mobile Dash), you can start typing the first few letters of the item to jump to it.
The library system has also undergone some major work, with improved large storage card integrity, user ratings, and play counts. Album artwork visualization is improved. If you have a device without A2DP support, Pocket Player will now allow you to redirect all music to a connected mono Bluetooth headset. I like this feature, since I often listen to podcasts with a standard Bluetooth headset where high quality isn't an issue. There are lots of other improvements as well, so check out the press release for all the details.
Pocket Player 3.5 is available now for US$19.95. There are special upgrade prices, too, and a free 30-day fully functional trial. I plan to download and install the trial very soon to try on the HTC Advantage and other Windows Mobile devices.
Thanks to Pocket PC Thoughts for the link.

Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by altschule, Feb 6, 2011.
Who all here is following? What's your choice!?
Packers all the way, win by 3! Getting my betting on soon
black and yellow fsho
It's not a huge deal to me because I'm a Bears fan, but I'd like to see the black and yellow get some revenge for them.
Go steelers!
I think the Packers will win. The Steelers O line is in really bad shape and the Packers have a lot of exotic blitzes. I expect either Matthews or Woodson to get a strip sack at one point or another in the game and I think the points scored off the turnover will be the deciding factor in the game.
I just think that because Roethlisberger has superbowl experience he'll play the game and not the occasion.
Steelers will win, but going for packers
This is also a good point. Three's a charm.
I could not resist because the game will be awesome I have to put something equally awesome on and being as Gary Moore also RIP its appropriate.
I voted for the steelers, because they will probably win it.
but I would actually like to see greenbay win.
Anyone know how to watch it live on the webs?
im from germany?
Steelers.. I'm all in!
Google myp2p man, the best quality streams require veetle. Packers have started aggresively, they need to watch for interceptions if they carry on!
Its on BBC 1 in UK.
packers touch down. touche packers, touche.
Boy if you have bud Doritos or diet Pepsi max affiliation its time to start spamming now cause they pretty much have the majority of the commercials playing!!! Bet you could covert like crazy
Ah man I went to put some food in the oven
What was Roethlisberger thinking?!
Separate names with a comma.

TUSCALOOSA, AL (WBRC) - New horrific details have come to light about a child abuse case that left a 9-year-old boy with brain injuries in Tuscaloosa.
Police said they got involved when a relative spotted something she says didn't look right.
Child Abuse prevention services in Tuscaloosa encourages everyone to do their part to notice the signs of abuse.
Neighbors, friends, relatives, educators, all need to be involved.
New information released from police said the boy who was tortured had homemade stitches from his wounds.
When the Child Abuse prevention services director Lisa Maddox got wind about what happened to that young boy, it shook her spirit.
"It just gave me chills I could not believe it happened here in Tuscaloosa," said Maddox.
According to court documents, witnesses reported the 9-year-old boy was beaten with a belt buckle repeatedly on his head, breaking his teeth.
"Every child deserves a parent, but every parent doesn't deserve a child. So just to think about someone at that young age endured that. You can see people hurt people as young as a year old so it is said," Maddox said.
And the details get worse investigators said it was the boy's mom Cecily Burton and her boyfriend Marzel Mills that gave the child bite marks and 100 bruises on his back.
The director explains even if you don't see any marks on the child, there could be drastic changes in their behavior that can indicate abuse.
"You suspect you have that gut feeling something is wrong. You need to be concerned and sometimes we need to air on the side of the child and not the adult," said Maddox.
The 9-year-old was pulled out of school eight months ago and investigators said he was kept away from relatives until recently and a call was made to police.
"We get calls from people out of the state and out of Tuscaloosa and they have concerns about a person. DHR if you are honestly making a report not out of malice you won't be in trouble," said Maddox.
Burton and Mills are charged with aggravated child abuse and attempted murder. The boy is now in the state's custody.

Christopher's Restaurant Review: This majestic restaurant in Covent Garden overlooking Waterloo Bridge and the Thames is a remarkable success. Christopher's has been through a major refurbishment resulting in a beautiful ground-floor martini bar and elegant first-floor dining room. The menu is still American based but more international than you might expect. There's a fashionable raw bar with selections from scallop ceviche to beef carpaccio, or go for the Maryland crab cake or blackened shrimps or even foie gras. But the main reason to go there is still the American-inspired dishes like lobster, Prime steaks and the classic surf 'n' turf, and, of course, the cheesecakes and maple pies. Good wine list. Set lunch Mon.-Fri. 2 courses £18, 23 courses £22; pre- and post-theatre dinner 5pm-7pm, 10pm-11pm. 2 courses £16, 3 courses £22; set Sunday supper 2 courses £25, 3 courses £29.
