Continuing with the theme of the spring, I'm going to relate this post to heaven.
Yes, tomorrow is the beginning of heaven on earth. You see, each year the weather starts to change (at least theoretically) and we get 162 glimpses of heaven on earth.
Because, let's face it, there's nowhere where the grass is greener or the sky is bluer than at a baseball game. The sights, the sounds and the smells are simply amazing.
Opening day is tomorrow. In anticipation of opening day, I'm going to make some predictions.
Let's start in the National League.
NL East Champs: Philadelphia Phillies - Honestly, I can't see how anyone picks against them. Adding Cliff Lee to a team that was already great? Yikes. Coming in second will be Atlanta, and they will most assuredly be in the hunt for the Wild Card, which I'll get to.
NL Central Champs: Cincinnati Reds - I have a lot of faith in this team. They should be solid again this year and they'll win a lot of games. I'm really excited to see Chapman get some more time on the field, taking over the place Rhodes had maintained.
NL West Champs: San Francisco Giants - Lincecum will lead this team through their division again. Coming in behind them will be Colorado.
NL Wild Card: This one's a toss-up between the Braves and the Rockies. For the purpose of picking someone, I'm going to pick the Braves, which means that the NL looks exactly the same in my 2011 predictions as the NL looked in 2010 at the end of the regular season.
So, there ya have it. The Giants and Phillies will meet in the NLCS where the Giants won't be able to match the Phillies 4-man playoff pitching rotation.
AL East Champs: Boston Red Sox - This absolutely pains me to write, but the additions they made (Gonzalez and Crawford), there is very little chance of them not making the playoffs this year. Their pitching staff is still money, and they took Carl Crawford from the Rays, therefore they weakened a division rival while strengthening their own roster. Great off season for the BoSox. Yankees and Rays won't exactly be the red-headed step-children in this race, but Boston will come out on top in 2011.
AL Central Champs: Minnesota Twins - Their team is pretty well intact (in the era of free agency), and they have a great chance to win their division. Lots of people are picking Chicago here but Mauer will lead his team to another division title. He's one of the top 3 players in the game right now, and he makes his whole team better. My vindictive side tells me that Pavano is going to get hurt this year, but that's probably just my bitter side talking.
AL West Champs: Oakland A's - I originally thought this was going to be a slam dunk for the Rangers to win again, but after doing a little more research, it wouldn't shock me at all to see the A's pick up the division this year after finishing at .500 last year. They made some good additions and Texas lost their ace in Cliff Lee.
AL Wild Card: New York Yankees - Originally I had Tampa Bay winning the Wild Card, but after doing a little reading, I'm not so sure. So, the Yankees, being my favorite team don't have to do a lot to convince me. Honestly, though, it would not shock me if the Yankees do not make the playoffs this year. They have an extremely weak pitching rotation, even IF A.J. Burnett makes a turnaround (and that's a really big if). Tampa, Chicago and Texas will all be in the hunt for the wild card.
In the playoffs, Boston beats Minnesota to win the ALCS.
This, naturally sets up a Boston vs Philly World Series, which means that the World Series Trophy will be back on the East Coast, where it belongs.
I refuse to pick the Red Sox to win the whole thing, Philly will win in 6.
All-in-all, I'm sure that I'm wrong. I hope that I'm wrong and the Yankees win the whole thing!

A Small Piece of Heaven on Earth
Continuing with the theme of the spring, I'm going to relate this post to heaven.

Love Wins - My Thoughts
After exploding the Christian Blog-world, Rob Bell's newest book came out. I own and have read each of his previous 3 books. They were all good, not life-changing, but good.
I've seen most of the Nooma videos.
I want to say that I'm surprised with this latest turn for Rob Bell, but, quite frankly, I feel like President Bartlet when he found out that Toby was the leak.
He said that this sort of thing was "inevitable."
In Velvet Elvis, Bell said that Christianity was like a trampoline; Jesus is like the mat, and theology is like the springs.
He said, not merely implied, but said that if you removed some springs, that was okay, Christianity would survive.
I think he was right, there are some springs on the trampoline of Christianity that can be removed or moved and Christianity, as a whole will be okay.
But, if you keep removing springs, you end up jumping on the ground, and the trampoline loses its effectiveness.
When discussing the "springs," Bell mentioned specifically the Virgin Birth as one that could be removed. This was the start down a road that Evangelicals didn't want to travel down.
Just as Bartlet said to Ziegler, this sort of thing was inevitable.
At some point, Bell, if you keep removing springs, then what you're promoting will no longer be Christianity.
Now, having read the book, I can say that it's not nearly as controversial as people thought it would be.
The basic concept is that heaven and hell are realities that you can experience here on Earth. And, if we're going to be honest, that's true, sort of.
Because, heaven and hell are realities based on your connection to God. So, in essence, when you're connected to God, it's like experiencing heaven on earth. Haven't you ever been a part of a really great worship service and thought that you must have just experienced something of what heaven's like?
For Bell, heaven is a great big, socially just, green movement.
Hell, then, is the opposite. It's consumerist, not environmentally friendly, and void of social justice.
And so, we can agree that given those definitions of heaven and hell, we understand why there's a possibility of heaven (or hell) on earth.
However, at that point, my support for the thoughts in Love Wins ends.
Bell treats the Holy Scriptures like an essay, written by a college professor. He rips quotations out of their context to say what he wants, and he cuts and pastes the Scripture portions that he does use. (This is the way we'd treat an essay, we'd cut and paste the quotations for our own essay)
In all of the books I've read, I've never seen someone do that to the Bible. It's as if he's saying, "here check out this quote I found in the Bible, but I'm going to remove something from the middle of it."
We do not do that to the Bible.
That's one of the most important lessons I learned in college, we use entire Scriptures to teach from, and it's this insistence that we don't just yank verses out of their context that helps us to stop from proof-texting and reading into the Bible things that we want it to say as opposed to what it actually says.
Rob Bell focuses on very small portions of Scripture that say what he wants it to say, and then breezes over and past great big chunks of Scripture that would really harm his viewpoint. (This is incredibly evident in Chapter 3, most notably pages 68-69)
His explanation of Lazarus and the Rich Man is extremely shallow and leaves much to be desired.
I suppose we should be grateful to Bell, he's opened up dialogue. That's essentially what we want to do. This new movement of Christians (or Christ-Followers), if nothing else, wants to know that we can talk about anything. And, they're right. We should be able to talk about all parts of Christianity and approach with an open mind. That's a good thing.
However, we need to guard our theology. We have to.
It wasn't until page 110 that I really had a problem. Bell implies that Christianity is a story. And he says that the story that people have been telling, that many, many people are destined for eternal, conscious separation from God is not a good story.
You're right, it's not a good story. It's not meant to be. It's meant to point us to the good story. The story that we don't have to be slaves to our sin.
The story that Christ is bigger than death. He's bigger than our sin. He's the mighty conqueror of the grave.
That is the good story.
And the end of that episode of The West Wing seems to play out, Bartlet says to Toby: "When you walk out of here, there'll be people out there, perhaps a great many, who'll think of you as a hero. I just don't for a moment want you thinking I'll be one of them."
To Rob Bell, I was on your team, but I'm not anymore. And there are a great many people who think this book has revolutionized the way Christians should think about heaven and hell and that you must be some sort of enlightened genius to have figured this out.
I'm not one of them.
I'm not angry with Bell and I won't be protesting at Mars Hill. I'm just moving on, in my own way. And since this is my blog, I decided to post about it here.

The Power of God
I've been sitting at my computer tonight... thinking. I've been listening to worship music (loudly). And really just thinking about God.
To be honest, I'm overwhelmed.
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come."
"You won't relent until you have it all."
"There's nothing we want more."
"The slightest hint of you brought me down to my knees."
"Come be the fire inside of me, until You and I are one."
"If his grace is an ocean, we're all sinking."
When I think of God, sometimes I think I'm really missing it.
Do I really believe that God is that powerful?
Do I live my life like I'm a child of the Creator of the World?
I'm an heir to the throne of God!
Sometimes I feel like the writer of another song I heard tonight, that I've made God too small.
I wonder what my life looks like. Do I really trust God?
I don't want to be the kind of Christian, the kind of pastor, who lives a fake-Christian life. Acting as if there are things God can't do.
I want to live my life in full obedience of Him, and I want to claim his power for my own.
God, help me to live like I really do trust you. Like I believe that you can fulfill me in a way nobody else can. God, give me the grace to believe your word when it says that you can do anything.

My Preaching Process
I wonder, sometimes audibly, if people ever wonder about the process that is preaching. What goes into a sermon? Where did you get that idea? Whose idea was it to sing this song?
If you'll permit me, I'd like to offer a glimpse into my preaching process. On Sunday March 6, 2011, I preached at High Street Nazarene. The sermon was entitled, "rethinking: communion" and it was not created that week.
When you have lots of time between sermons, you do different things to prepare for them. My way is not meant to be viewed as "the right way." I had months to prepare, and so it looks a little different from what someone who preaches every week (and sometimes twice a week) might look like.
So, without further delay, a behind the scenes look into "rethinking: communion."
At our church's Christmas Eve service, I was struck with an idea for what I thought could be an awesome sermon series someday. As I've said many times, advent is my favorite time of year. It should be no surprise that my idea that day centered around that. I was thinking about doing a 4-5 week series called, "Rethinking: Advent."
But my brain began to work in a different direction, I realized that Advent may only be one thing that could be rethought in the Church today. What if we did a LONG sermon series just called Rethinking?
So, on the envelope to a Christmas card one of my teens had given me, I jotted down a list:
Rethinking: Advent
Rethinking: Christianity
Rethinking: Politics
Rethinking: Communion
Rethinking: Church
I basically filed the idea away in my brain (I still have the envelope. It's in my work office, I'm writing from my home office). I thought I could use it at some point.
As a staff guy, you get asked to preach on a certain Sunday. My senior pastor asked me to preach a few months in advance.
So, I know a few months in advance that I'll be preaching. It gives me a LOT of time to prepare.
When my wife and I moved, I got a chance to make a bonafide home-office. I love working in that office. I installed white boards on the walls, and I basically wrote the entire sermon on those boards.
I asked my pastor if I could serve communion as a part of the service. He told me I was allowed, and it was off to the races with my idea for Rethinking: Communion.
The message took shape on my white board over the next 4-5 weeks. This picture is a part of that process. I spend time in prayer preparing for the message, and used commentaries to refine the message (and make sure that I'm not saying anything incredibly stupid).
I typed out a manuscript, but I don't preach from a manuscript. It just helps me to lay the ideas into a logical flow of thought.
Finally, I typed out a Sarah Palin-style crib note. I just don't do it on my hand. I make a small sheet that fits on the cover of my Bible, and I print the entire Scripture I read on there, as well as a very skeletal outline of the sermon, just in case I get lost.
The manuscript and notes happened this week, sometime between Tuesday-Friday.
My final preparation happens the day before I preach. I think I've done this in one way or another every single time I've preached. The first time was actually at half-time of the Ohio State-Florida National Title game a few years ago, I was scheduled to preach in chapel at MVNU the next morning.
I take some time and I go into the place I'll be preaching, and I run through the sermon. I tweak wording a little bit then, and check how long it's taking.
Sometimes I have to go through it 4-5 times. Sometimes I just do it once. I ran through it once for this particular sermon.
Then I came home and picked out what I was going to wear on Sunday. Why take the time to pick out what I am going to wear? I'm honestly not that obsessed with the way I look, but on a Sunday morning when I'm going to preach, I don't want to be concerned all morning with what I'm going to wear, so I try everything on the day before (pray that I don't look like an idiot) and get it all put together for the next morning. That way when I get up I can be streamlined in my focus.
Well, that's really it. Thanks for reading... as always, feel free to comment =)

Raindrops and Coffee
Central Ohio has seen gray clouds and drops of rain for the past 2 days.
It hasn't stopped. It just keeps coming.
Now, don't get me wrong, it is not a monsoon, it's not the second great flood or anything like that.
It's just... rain.
And I wish it would stop.
I was drinking a cup of coffee this morning, thinking about the rain. And I stepped outside to check out what our backyard looked like.
It looks like it's in transition. As if, the rain is just temporary.
And, if we think about it, the rain is always temporary. Yesterday, I was talking on the phone to one of the our church's retired pastors. We were making small talk about the rain, and he said, "Yeah, without the rain we won't get any flowers."
He's right.
Sometimes the rain just seems to pour down on us for days. Sometimes it feels like the reality of the rain is all we can remember.
I realize that I'm slightly melodramatic, but on the second or third day of rain, I forget what the world looks like as the sun shines on it.
The rain becomes my reality.
But the great thing about being a Christian is that we have a God who can see past the storm. We have a Father whose reality isn't the rain. We have a Savior who weathered the ultimate storm.
And that brings me hope. So, even on day two of this rain, even though I can't remember what my backyard looks like as the sun shines on it, we need the rain to see the flowers.
So, send the rain.

Transformational Learning
Transformational Learning
Music can be both the catalyst and foundation for the advancement of creative engineering and science-based curricula, as well as for designing new methodologies for music, art and entertainment production, and human perception. My teaching and research approach is less focused on technology alone, rather, on limiting materials so that students can learn fundamentals of the creative process and production. What makes interactive story-telling compelling? How does one create drama on both the micro and macro levels? How can we marry sensing technologies into the fabric of an interactive piece, rather than having the technology be a distraction to the participant? Effective engagement in this form of cultural production requires students equipped with an understanding of not only how to build and use tools for creating new digital media content, but how to think critically and strategically about the productive processes in which they are involved.
Camp Demigod Globally Calls Together Children to the Pacific Northwest
to Attend the First Overnight Camp Half-Blood in Association with
NASA award winning DIGIVATIONS INSTITUTE
Vancouver, BC & Point Roberts, WA....Camp Demigod is launched to support a ten-year old boy's dreams about making the world a fun, safer and more loving place come true. Located near Leavenworth & Olympia, WA this unique overnight camp was designed by the NASA award-winning Creative Technology Learning Lab DIGIVATIONS (www.digivations.com). Camp Demigod, the first overnight Camp Half-Blood experience, is working closely with the original Camp Half-Blood, endorsed by renown NY Times Best Selling author Rick Riordan, based on his books including, The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians series) and founded by Topher Bradfield of BookPeople. Bradfield states, "Camp Half-Blood, Austin Branch feels that there should be more opportunities in the world for demigods out there to find a home to train as a hero, broaden their understanding of the world and become a part of a story that is uniquely their own. Steve and Anne Berman understand our culture of Literacy, creative problem-solving, and inclusion."
Background: In February, after devouring the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, a ten-year old boy, named Jacob, announced to his family that he wanted to attend Camp Half-Blood: Austin Branch, in Texas. He said, "I wanted to bring my own demigod character to life and make my story come true." This led to a lively conversation with Literary Camp Director, Topher Bradfield, at BookPeople (Texas largest independent book store) who will be working closely with Camp Demigod as a Story Advisor. The family decided that it was impractical to send Jacob to Texas for a day camp.
Fortunately, for Jacob, his parents, Drs. Steven and Anne Deane Berman, are co-founders of DIGIVATIONS. Together, the family has taught more than 1600 K-12 students and 400 teachers in BC, Alaska, Washington and California. "After speaking at length with Topher," Drs. Steven and Anne Berman state, "we found there were so many commonalities in our mission to inspire children, that we decided to make Jacob's dream a reality by creating Camp Demigod." As part of this adventure, Jacob found the perfect site for the camp which is strikingly similar to Rick Riordan's inspired Camp Half-Blood, hidden only 3 miles from their house in Point Roberts, WA.
Please spread the word and have your friends and family visit the web site at www.campdemigod.org.

Modern Day Nomenclature w.r.t Automotive Industry
What goes through the minds of car makers while naming their products? Some may argue saying what is in a name but the buzz a name could create answers all the questions. The association between the buyer, name of the car and manufacturer can facilitate the smooth launch of the product and ease the branding process.
Recently Hyundai has started a campaign called "Naamkaran" to let people decide the name of their upcoming hatchback code named AH2. Y K Koo, MD and CEO of Hyundai Motor India said that the company has received a total of 4,00,114 votes. Out of this the name 'Santro' sits right at the top with 201,568 votes. Now it has to be said here that people were given a choice to choose their own names and there were quite a few other suggestions, but none were as popular. The other names were i5 which received 633 votes, Splash which got 443 and Saneon which acquired 426 votes. While we were quite sure that 'Santro' would turn out to be the hot favourite and the votes reiterated the same. The Santro was Hyundai's first-ever car in India and was launched way back in 1999. This car was promoted by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, and soon became a household name in India. The company banks on its existing popularity of "Santro" brand to make a dent in the entry-level hatchback segment.
Companies have the habit of hanging on to names which they have already used in past. It is because many people remember that Baleno is Maruti product but not necessarily how it was. Even though the car was a flop, people still associate that name with Maruti, which as a brand has a good reputation. So, they need not invest again in marketing to familiarize people that Baleno is a Maruti product.
Building a brand name is a huge expense and unless the brand name got a really bad reputation sending negative vibes, companies don't invest in changing the name. For the exact same reason, Tata changed the next gen Indica and Indigo to Bolt and Zest. Indicas and Indigos projected a perception that it was a taxi vehicle. A lot of family people have a prestige issue when they own a car that is used as a taxi. To change that, a new brand perception was required.
So, basically it all boils down to how damaging the name can be to the car sales.

Hi everyone,
It's probably in plain sight somewhere but I don't see if there is a search function for the forum, am I missing something?
Hi Marc,
There is not a search function on the Toneway site. You will just need to click on the links and look for the topics of interest. If you look at the top of the page and click on the "Follow" star, the site will notify you via e-mail about any responses to your interest and any new topics.
I hope it clarifies . I am sure that if I am missing it like you, the Abbott family will let us know. Are you looking for something specific?
Thanks Danny, that helps and confirms my experience.
I'll probably start new topics for the questions I have in mind if I see they haven't been already addressed. Thanks again for responding.
Danny's right, there's no search feature on this website. However, you can use Google to search the contents of this site. All you have to do is add
site:toneway.com to your search query. So for example, if you type this into a Google Search:
site:toneway.com mandolin
…you'll see all the pages (including forum threads) on the site where the word "mandolin" is mentioned.
Hope that helps!

Looks like Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 660 and 650 graphics cards have arrived hand-in-hand with a fresh driver release. The GeForce 306.23 drivers are downloadable now from Nvidia's GeForce.com website, but they add more than just support for the newcomers. In the accompanying blog post, Nvidia calls the drivers an "essential upgrade for every GeForce GTX user." And it's no wonder why:
[T]he GeForce 306.23 WHQL drivers enable high-quality TXAA anti-aliasing on GTX 600 Series GPUs, improve game performance by up to 17% on all GeForce 400, 500, and 600 Series GPUs, enhance seven top titles with NVIDIA Control Panel MSAA and Ambient Occlusion profiles, improve the overall user experience for all GPU users, and add SLI and 3D Vision profiles for new releases and upcoming titles, including Borderlands 2, Darksiders 2, Dishonored, End of Nations, F1 2012, Guild Wars 2, Max Payne 3, Orcs Must Die! 2, PlanetSide 2, Sleeping Dogs, The Secret World, The Walking Dead, Torchlight II, and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria.
TXAA already made an appearance in Nvidia's GeForce 304.79 beta drivers back in July, so it's not entirely new, strictly speaking. Still, the 306.23 release is the first non-beta driver (one with Windows Hardware Quality Labs certification) to include the feature. Be sure to check out Scott's writeup on TXAA for more details.
Oh, and according to Nvidia, the GeForce 306.23 drivers also deliver "maximum compatiblity" with Borderlands 2 and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. You'll find a more complete list of additions, bug fixes, and outstanding issues in the official release notes.

Not surprising. Such misting systems are common for use with certain types of geckos, with chameleons, and with frogs. Many of the arboreal animals will not drink from a water dish but instead will only lap up water droplets off of leaves or the glass of the tank. Misters also help to keep up humidity levels for those animals.
I'll be interested to see your use of this system. Were you thinking of using it on orchids that would be grown in a terrarium?

Here are what some of our happy homeowners have to say about Duffy Realty's Buyer Agent Team:
"Eden was unbelievable. She's a straight-shooter. When you need a "Yes" or a "No," she gives you a "Yes" or a "No." When you need to have a long, thoughtful conversation and ask a lot of questions, she shares her expertise, she is patient, and she explains things in a way that can be understood. Throughout our experience with Eden, her responsiveness was better than I could have ever hoped for. I think it took her more than 24 hours to get back to me once, and most of the time it is within a few hours. Eden has a strong team supporting her and her preferred lender, Paul Hart, was great, too. She helped us buy our house, and now we're excited to have her help us sell our house. I'd recommend her to my family and friends!" T. Presley – Marietta
"Thank you for helping us find our dream home. We looked for months with no luck until we found Duffy Realty. Randall really put us at ease by doing all the work for us. Randall was in contact with us on a daily basses informing us of the new listings. Not to mention finding all the houses we looked at. Thanks to Randall, we found our home and closed on time. The whole process was smooth and quick. We're so happy with Duffy Reality we recommend them to any one looking to buy a home. Duffy Reality took the hassle of finding a home and turned it into a stress free journey." K. & R. Dehm – Covington
"I worked with Todd Edwards from Duffy Reality on my recent home purchase, and he was a pleasure to work with. Todd was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market and buying process. He replied to all of calls and emails in a timely manner. This was my first home purchase, and I would have been completely lost without Todd's expertise. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family." S. Patheja – Atlanta

What are the Gains of Notary Publics?
The notary is divided into two categories that include; stationary plus mobile. The difference between the two is that the stationary notaries work away from their offices and homes. However, the mobile notaries will travel to where their clients and offer their services. Whichever you prefer, you will still get the chance to enjoy the benefits. If you have never heard of these benefits then you have just landed on the best platform. Since the gains of hiring notaries are so many, only a few were noted in this article and so many left out.
It would be very easy for you to enter contracts once you hire notaries. Thus, you will never have to worry about your business being in any legal implication because your business will be on the right track. The notaries will always ensure that the signatures are authentic in case of any possible implication. The content involved in the document will be your obligation though. That is why you need to come up with the best content for your business. In case of any inconveniences, you will have no notaries to blame for the content, but you will carry the blame on your own.
Some people worry about being involved with fraud which never happens when dealing with notaries. Notaries will work to their level best to prevent any instances of fraud happening. There will be no chances of any activities that involve fraud. Remember that you have to issue your original documents to the notaries. Nothing would prove your identity better than the original copies. Some signers who come with fake documents are caught and charged for having to use what is not theirs. You do not need to take your photocopies because they will play no meaning. If you are being forced to undertake the activity, then the notaries would never notarize your documents. You should not just keep quiet and wait for the documents notarized when you are under some threats.
The other good thing about notaries is that they are always available. The location area is not a problem when finding a notary. Searching for the notaries' onsite is very crucial, and this is the only obligation you need to find the notaries. From the internet platform, you will find very many notaries that are there at your service when you need them most. If you come from a big city, then the better for you since you will not take a lot of time to find notaries. However, the people who come from small rural areas are disadvantaged because they can take a lot of time to find the notaries. The signers who come across such information hire the notaries as soon as they can manage.
Why Signings Aren't As Bad As You Think

First, let's clear up a misunderstanding about relationship abuse. Many believe women are the only domestic abuse victims. That's obviously bullsh*t. Women ARE NOT the only victims. Males are also victims of relationship abuse.
It's true. Women and children make up the majority of abuse victims. However, there are instances where men are the victims. And this is largely because they were raised to never mistreat a woman, developing in them mannerisms that portray them as being wimps or easy targets.
Nonetheless, abuse is never tolerable no matter the victim.
Victims Often Hide Their AbuseAbuse has traumatizing effects. Each victim is different in terms of how they cope. Yet, all victims have one thing in common. Silence. For various reasons, they will not tell anyone about their abuse.
As long as the abuser knows he or she has isolated the victim through obvious psychological shaming, the abuse continues and escalates ---often to a deadly climax.
Since abusers have changed their approach and now leave bruises only in hidden places, physical abuse is not easy to detect---in women anyway. Men are a little different. They can have a knot on the head or a cut on the arm and it's natural to figure they had a freak accident in the garage or at work.
Usually, the family has a 'feeling' that something is wrong. But the victim denies it. In all abuse cases, it takes a major emergency event to validate abuse suspicions.
An Emergency Event Is An Easy Escape RouteOnce the victim's injuries require hospital treatment, and there is a routine investigation, whether the victim presses charges or implicates the perpetrator, this is a good time to leave the abusive situation and escape deadly harm. Remember. Abuse doesn't deflate in frequency or severity. It escalates.
The episode is documented in medical records. Friends and family can also voice their concerns to law enforcement adding critical information to the file. The victim's silence or refusal to press charges (if that's still the case) will likely be viewed as the actions of a "frightened and intimidated" abuse victim. Which is usually the case.
An order of protection is also a legitimate action that reinforces the file, making it easier for police action should the perpetrator follow up with stalking, threatening texts or phone calls or some other harassment.
Not every victim can temporarily relocate. But spending six to twelve months out of town with relatives makes a huge difference. The critical piece in this step is to keep the location "undisclosed".
Abusers who feel they've been outdone become angry. One way of retaliating when they don't know where the victim is hiding, is to start a new relationship in hopes of the victim contacting them out of jealousy. When there's no contact, the perpetrator begins a new cycle of abuse with his new victim. This time the victim presses charges.
A police file of suspected abuse already exists on the abuser, complete with photographs of the victims injuries along with medical reports. The judge finds him guilty, sentences him accordingly.
Abuse Victims Should Always Be VigilantThough the abuser spent time in jail for his actions, many of them are furious at the victim for "taking away their freedom". Three blind mice can see that he stripped away his on freedom. But anyway...
As long as their abuser is still around, victims should NEVER take their safety for granted. It's hard to know what an abuser will do. Chances are they will move on. But there's a greater chance that they might be operating from a type of controlling obsessive behavior.
It's better to be safe than to become a statistic.

Breaking Bad's final episode aired last night. The AMC show broke new ground, including the development of a popular second screen experience. Is second-screen interaction the new normal? If so, what does this mean for commercials? Seems to me like there is little room for interruptions in this usage configuration.

We had such a great vacation last month in British Columbia. Going in, we knew Okanagan was referred to as "Canada's Napa." Now we know why.

Here's a great example X
This is what I took away from "California Set to Mandate Childhood Vaccines Amid Intense Fight" in the New York Times.
1# Interview people who can't have vaccines, and talk about their rights, but ignore the rights of those who are vaccine damaged.
2# Repeat the 'science is settled' or similar as often as possible.
3# Say that measles, mumps and rubella have almost been eliminated by vaccines and pretend that with mandatory vaccination these diseases will disappear altogether.
4# Call the arguments of those who resist vaccination mandates – 'emotional debates'
5# Mention the autism vaccine link as a) being discredited, and b) as the main reason that people don't vaccinate
6# Mention herd immunity (relating to vaccination not naturally acquired disease) as if is a fact and not a theory.
7# Wheel out an expert to say vaccines are safe and responsibility to public health overrides individual choice.
8# Make out that immunization rates are low, when in reality California has vaccine coverage above 92% for each vaccine at all schools.
#9 Blame unvaccinated children for the rise in pertussis cases*, oblivious to the science which shows that waning immunity, vaccine selection pressure and asymptomatic vaccinated pertussis carriers are the real cause.
* they forgot to do this, but I thought I'd add it in anyway for good measure.

EFT, or 'Tapping', is a powerful tool for improving your life on many different levels: mental, emotional and physical. It can be used to remove fears, doubts and upsets, and has been proven to effectively address a range of issues from anxiety, chronic pain, addiction, fear, weight control, stress relief, phobias, self-limiting beliefs, financial abundance, and so much more. During your consultation, you will be taught how to 'tap' yourself, giving you a step-by-step guide to overcoming any obstacle that is keeping you from success. You can become your own therapist or counsellor.
How Does It Work?
EFT or 'Tapping' is based on the principles of both ancient acupressure and modern psychology, EFT concentrates on tapping on specific meridian endpoints while focusing on the worries, fears, anxieties or physical sensations being experienced.
The combination of talking through these negative thoughts and emotions, and tapping, quickly calms the nervous system and restores the balance of energy in the body.
EFT or 'Tapping' has been scientifically proven to reduce Cortisol levels and other stress hormones by 24% within a one hour session.
At the same time, it allows the brain to re-visit the thoughts and meanings given to the many situations that cause us stress, anxiety, fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, self-limiting beliefs, and physical illness and discomfort, to see if they are still relevant.
99.9% of the time, they are no longer relevant, and quite often stem from childhood memories. Once our subconscious mind recognizes where and when they were formed, it will very easily release the negative thoughts and symptoms and replace them with more truthful, positive life enhancing thoughts and beliefs.
To enable these deep psychological changes, you have to work on the subconscious level, just thinking positively and consciously will not get to the root of the problem. That is why EFT is so remarkable in its simplicity and effectiveness.
