FW: Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, theTongue.

thanks carissa




I will continue to forward
this every time it comes around!


STROKE: Remember
The 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.


My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.
I agree.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..

Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone
that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .....she said she had
just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared
a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken
to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke
at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps
Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die.... they end up in a helpless,
hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours
he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said
the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting
the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read
and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,
the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe
brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke
.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple
questions:

S * Ask the individual
to SMILE.

T * Ask the person
to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today)

R * Ask him or
her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with
ANY ONE of these tasks,
call 999/911 immediately and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out
his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the
other , that
is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to
10 people; you can
bet that at least one life will be saved.

Give Life With Your Words
by Jon Walker



Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit – you choose. (Proverbs 18:21 MSG)


You have the power to kill or give life.


Yes, you, gentle reader – a follower of Christ – are capable of murder, and so am I. We can speak death with our words, or we can speak life.


Perhaps you’ve been on the other side of the killing kind of messages: “You’re not smart enough. You’re not thin enough. You’re not fast enough. You’re not good enough. A real Christian wouldn’t think such a thing.”


In a world where people are beat up and put down, God gives you superhero power to punch through the negativity. You speak life to others when you say: “You matter to me. I like you just the way you are. You’re human, anyone could think that. Your life counts. You were created for a purpose. God loves you, and you’re incredibly valuable to him.”


Your words may be the only encouraging thing some people hear in a day, or a week, or a month. You – yes, you – can become the voice of God’s grace in the lives of others, supporting, loving, helping, and encouraging with the words that flow from your mouth. (Romans 14:19b)


In the New Testament, the word ‘encouragement’ often means “to come alongside.” We’re to come alongside one another, “building each other up,” just as the Holy Encourager comes alongside us to teach us and remind us of the way of Jesus. (John 14:26)


We become encouragers when we stop looking down and start looking up (Colossians 3:2) – the need and opportunity for encouragement is everywhere. “Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us,” (Romans 15:2a MSG) and this “will build them up.” (Romans 15:2b NLT)


So, how about it? Will you become today a consistent source of encouragement to those around you? It’s a choice on your part. You can lift a person’s spirit, change the atmosphere of your office, or lighten the burden of someone in your small group. The Bible says we should “look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.” (1 Thessalonians 5:15b MSG)


What does this mean?


· Commit to encouragement – Make a choice to build up the people around you. Fill your conversations with phrases like: “I believe in you,” “I’m grateful for you,” “I see God using you,” “I appreciate you,” and “I’m glad you’re in my life.” The Bible says we should “encourage one another and build each other up.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV)


· Value others – An encourager works hard at bringing the best out in others. Value people by understanding they are valuable to God. He encourages you in spite of the failings in your past; he believes in you in spite of those annoying, little things you excuse in yourself but criticize in others. J (Quite honestly, this thought compels me to give grace to others.)


· Be encouraged – Encourage yourself, for “there is good news of great joy for all people, and his name is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:8-10)

FWD: HOW TO FORWARD E-MAIL APPROPRIATELY

thanks chantelle

HOW TO FORWARD E-MAIL APPROPRIATELY

A friend who is a computer expert received the following directly
from a system administrator for a corporate system. It is an excellent
message that ABSOLUTELY applies to ALL of us who send e-mails. Please read
the short letter below, even if you're sure you already follow proper procedures..

Do you really know how to forward e-mails? 50% of us do; 50% DO NOT .


Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it?

Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from
the
people who got the message before you, namely their e-mail addresses
&
names. As the messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses

builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some poor
person
to get a virus, and his or her computer can send that virus to every

e-mail address that has come across his or her computer. Or, someone
can
take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them
in
the hopes that you will go to the site and he will make five cents
for
each hit. That's right, all of that inconvenience over a nickel!





How do you stop it? Well, there are several easy steps:





(1) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses
that
appear in the body of the message (at the top ). ! That's right,
DELETE
them. Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them,
whatever
it is you know how to do. It only takes a second You MUST click the

'Forward' button first and then you will have full editing
capabilities
against the body and headers of the message. ! If you don't click on

'Forward' first , you won't be able to edit the message at all.


(2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use
the
To: or Cc: fields for adding e-mai! l ad dresses. Always use the BCC
:
(blind carbon copy) field for listing the e-mail addresses. This is
the
way the people you send to will only see their own e-mail address.
If
you don't see your BCC: option click on where it says To: and your

address list will appear. Highlight the address and choose BCC: and
!
that's it, &l t; I>it's that easy. When you send to BCC: your
message
will automatically say 'Undisclosed Recipients' in the 'TO:' field!
Of
the people who receive it.

(3) Remove any 'FW :' in the subject line. You can rename the subject
if
you wish or even fix spelling.

(4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail you are

reading. Ever get those e-mails that you have to open 10 pages to
read
the one page with the information on it? By Forwarding from the
actual
page you wish someone to view, you s! top them from having to open
many
e-mails just to see what you sent.

(5) Have you ever gotten an e-mail that is a petition? It states a

position and asks you to add your name and address and to forward it
to
10 or 15 people or your entire address book. The e-mail can be
forwarded
on and on and can collect thousands of names and e-mail addresses. A

FACT: The completed petition is actually worth a couple of bucks to a

professional spammer because of the wealth of valid names and e-mail

addresses contained therein. If you want to support the petition,
send
it as your own personal letter to the intended recipient. Your
position
may carry more weight as a personal letter than a laundry list of
names
and e-mail address on a petition. (Actually, if you think about it,

who's supposed to send the petition in to whatever cause it supports?

And don't believe the ones that say that the e-mail is being traced,
it
just ain't so!)

(6) One of the main ones I hate is the ones that say that something
like,
'Send this e-mail to 10 people and you'll see something great run
across
your screen.' Or, sometimes they'll just tease you by saying
something
really cute will happen IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! (Trust me, I'm still

seeing some of the same ones that I waited on 10 years ago!) I don't
let
the bad luck ones scare me either, they get trashed. (Could be why I

haven't won the lottery??)

(7) Before you forward an Amber Alert, or a Virus Alert, or some of
the
other ones floating around nowadays, check them out before you foward

them. Most of them are junk mail that's been circling the net for
YEARS!
Just about everything you receive in an e-mail that is in question
can be
checked out at Snopes. Just go to http://www.snopes.com


Its really easy to find out if it's real or not. If it's not, please

don't pass it on.

So please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail and the viruses.


Finally, here's an idea! Let's send this to everyone we know (but
strip my address off first, please). This is something that SHOULD be forwarded.

Self-acceptance quote

"Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory."
~J. Donald Walters Author, Lecturer and Playwright

FW: if you are REALLY LUCKY

thanks felecia...you grossed me out!!!

Imagine that you go out one night to a really nice bar with your friends and have a few cocktails.



They taste so good, so you have a few more and then the DJ plays your favorite oldie -- 'I Will Survive,' so you're off to the dance floor.

After an hour or so of shakin' your goodies, the DJ plays that irritating head-banging music , so you rejoin the group for a rest and another cocktail, or three !!!

You notice a group of men standing nearby and one of them is looking at you. You look back at him and there is tangible chemistry between the two of you.
YOU buy him a drink.
He likes a woman who is not afraid to buy a man a drink. He approaches you to chat and you get along really well.
When the time seems perfect for both of you, he leans over and kisses you .
You have never been kissed like this before, an electric kiss and a tingle shudders through your entire body and you don't want it to stop.
"I don't usually do this sort of thing," you hear yourself saying, "but I've never felt like this before.
Do you want to come back to my place?"
You wake up the next morning, and you roll out of bed, half-asleep , to go to the toilet , last night's memories slightly blurred
You look at yourself in the mirror , make an "urgh" sound. .
As you're sitting there, vivid flashes of what would seem like a marathon sex session flicker back into your head and you remember that you fell in love last night .
With a smile on your face , you stand up and walk back to the bedroom
and see...





THAT'S JUST WRONG!

You instantly sober up, dial animal control, and vow to never ever drink again!

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED:

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals

fwd: 34 rules...this time for MEN

The Rules.....This time by Men.

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules:

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us bitching about you leaving it down

2. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again! Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

3. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

4. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

5. Crying is blackmail

6. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

7. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

8. Most guys own three pairs of shoes tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

9. Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question

10. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.

11. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

12. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor

13. Check your oil! Please

14. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

15. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

16. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We refuse to answer

17. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

18. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway, it's genetic.

19. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS ONE!........You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it damn yourself.

20. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

21. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we. OK he did need directions because he hit the wrong continent, but look what the result was. Give him credit for that

22. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends

23. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

24. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that

25. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

26. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

27. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

28. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

29. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

30. You have enough clothes. You have too many shoes

31. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.

32. It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz together. It doesn't matter which quiz.

33. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

34. I'm in shape. ROUND is a shape.

Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that, it's like camping.

FW: THE KLAN ENDORSES OBAMA!!!

Ku Klux Klan Endorses Obama
February 7th, 2008
by James R. Crowe

KENTUCKY - USA - Imperial Wizard, Ronald Edwards has stated that, "anything is better than Hillary Clinton."

White Christian Supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States of America.

Speaking from his Kentucky office in Dawson Springs, the Imperial Wizard exclaimed that anything or anyone is better than having that "crazy ass bitch" as President.

This is the first time in Klan history that any member of the KKK has ever publicly supported an African American candidate for the presidency.

KKK lodges all over America have been gathering and holding rallies supporting the black presidential candidate.

KKK members in Tennessee rally against Hillary Clinton and support Barack Obama

Grand Turk Cletus Monroe has also been very vocal about the election and has donated thousands of dollars to Obama's election fund.

"The boy's gonna do it. My Klan group has donated up to $250,000 to the Obama fund. Anything is better than Hillary Clinton. Hell I'll even adopt a black kid from Africa before I vote for Hillary."

"A few years back we were lynching negroes. Now we're gonna vote for one to be president of the US of motherfu**ing A, damn it! Anyone or anything is better than Hillary Clinton - anything!!

"Placards for Barack Obama have been put up around the Klan's Headquarters and the KKK have announced a television ad campaign to support the African American candidate.

RESULT: although we really don't know...I think this is false

Fwd: Support Ms. Wade by harrassing Ms Haschak

Peace,

As we prepare to move on Friday, April 11th to protest the injustice regarding the daughter of Ms. Bernadine Wade (youtube: bernadine wade/fox news), it is important that the local policy makers understand our intent as well as our dedication to this issue.

In this light, I want to encourage everyone to send a letter of invitation, support, and good cheer to Ms. Cheryl Haschak. She is the Jackson County Local Schools Superintendent. She is also the person who has had little to no comment regarding Ms. Wade's daughter. I plan to personally invite her to come address the crowd that will be gathered at 1pm - 4pm (roughly) outside of the school house.

Others of you may simply want to ask her some very specific questions regarding her inability or unwillingness to support Ms. Wade and her daughter in a more humane and just manner.

Whatever your concerns, comments, questions, or complaints may be, just say something!

If you dont have any, call me and I will give you some of mine. Remember: repetition is the mother of memorization.

Ms. Cheryl Haschak can be contacted through her secretary:

haschak@sparcc.org

OR for a good old fashioned stamped mail addressed envelope:

District Offices
7984 Fulton Dr.
Massillon, OH 44646

OR for a more personal touch, you can call her @:

330-830-8000

As a matter of fact, if everyone did all three just once, that's even better.

If anyone has any questions, call me @: 419-508-8968

love and wisdom to all of you and yours,

Delma Jackson III

FW: THE SEX FAIRY - READ CAREFULLY

SEX FAIRY




This is hilarious! Be sure to read the warning at the bottom. I didn't change a word! I'm not messing with the Sex Fairy!


1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.


2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.



3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.



4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!



5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.



6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

7 . Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.


8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.



9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. 10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.


This message has been sent to you for good luck in sex. The original is in a room in the basement of the Dwight House Pub. It has been sent around the world nine times.

Now sex has been sent to you.

The 'Hot Sex Fairy' will visit you within four days of receiving this message, provided you, in turn, send it on. If you don't, then you will never receive good sex again for the rest of your life. You will eventually become celibate, and your genitals will rot and fall off. This is no joke! Send copies to people you think need sex (who doesn't?). Don't send money, as the fate of your genitals has no price.

Do not keep this message. This message must leave your e-mail in 5 hours. Please send ten copies and see what happens in four days.

Fwd: Re: Don't forget where you came from

Never forget the price paid for where you stand today.

This was once our resumes....


None of us has had to experience the pain of separation or live with the disgrace and humiliation that comes with not being free. When you cast your vote for who will run our country, never forget your history and keep this bill of sale in mind. When we allow ourselves to forget our not so distant past, then we are destined to repeat these actions in our future. Stand for those who came before us and those who could not stand up for themselves. VOTE!

Fw: Barack Obama's Records More Than Hillary Clinton Suggests

Barack Obama's Record's More Than Hillary Clinton Suggests
By Christopher Wills, The Associated Press
Article Last Updated: 01/17/2008 12:32:18 AM PST

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - By some measures, Barack Obama has a thin record. He's a Senate newcomer who has never worked in the White House, governed a state or run a business.
Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton points to his résumé as evidence that Obama is not ready for the White House. "He was a part-time state senator for a few years, and then he came to the Senate and immediately started running for president," she says dismissively.

Obama's accomplishments are more substantial and varied than Clinton suggests. And he has a longer record in elected office than she does, as a second-term New York senator.
Obama was a community organizer and led a voter-registration effort in Chicago that added tens of thousands of people to the rolls. He was a civil-rights attorney and taught at one of the nation's premier universities. He helped pass complicated measures in the Illinois Legislature on the death penalty, racial profiling, health care and more. In Washington, he has worked with Republicans on nuclear proliferation, government waste and global warming, amassing a record that speaks to a fast start while lacking the heft of years of service.

The Illinois Democrat likes to quote something Bill Clinton once said: "The truth is, you can have the right kind of experience and the wrong kind of experience. Mine is rooted in the real lives of real people, and it will bring real results if we have the courage to change."
After college, Obama moved to Chicago for a low-paying job as a community organizer. He worked with poor families on the South Side to get improvements in public housing, particularly the removal of asbestos.

"Nobody else running for president has jumped off the career track for three or four years to help people," said Jerry Kellman, who first hired Obama as a community organizer.
Obama also fought for student summer jobs and a program to keep at-risk children from dropping out of school. More importantly, say those who worked with Obama, he showed people how to organize and confront powerful interests.

"He had to train residents to stand up for their own rights," said former organizer Loretta Augustine-Herron, who was part of Obama's Developing Communities Project.
Obama left that job to get a law degree. Afterward, he returned to Chicago and ran Project VOTE. The organization recruited hundreds of registrars to sign up new voters, particularly within the city's black population. Registration jumped nearly 15 points between the 1992 primary and the general election.

The registration wave was credited with making Carol Moseley Braun the first black female senator and helping Bill Clinton carry Illinois in his first presidential race. It also got insiders talking about Obama as a political candidate.

Obama then spent several years focusing on the law, both as an attorney at a small firm specializing in civil rights and as a lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago.
Obama was elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, when Democrats were in the minority. He proposed hundreds of new laws, including universal health care, tougher gun control and expanded welfare, but saw most of them spiked by Republican leadership.

He did have some successes, though - particularly in passing legislation sharply restricting the gifts that Illinois politicians could accept from lobbyists. Illinois has notoriously weak government ethics laws, and the Gift Ban Act was the first major new restriction since the Watergate era.
Obama also helped set up Illinois' "KidCare" program that provided health care to children in families that did not qualify for Medicaid.

Obama was generally regarded as an effective and practical, although decidedly liberal, state lawmaker. One of his Republican colleagues was so wowed that he has appeared in an Obama campaign ad, but others aren't impressed by his legislative record.

Obama was a part-time state senator in that he served in the Illinois Legislature at the same time he practiced law. He became a state lawmaker in 1997, four years ahead of Hillary Clinton's entrance into elected office, as U.S. senator.

When Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, he said he wished to get things done rather than grab headlines, and cited Hillary Clinton as the sort of workhorse he wanted to be.
And he shared billing with a Republican presidential hopeful when he joined Arizona Sen. John McCain in sponsoring legislation that called for sharp, mandatory cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions. The effort failed.

Fwd: Sunday Afternoon Quickie - Best Email Joke I've seen in a LONG time

Sunday Afternoon Quickie


The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their
8-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a popsicle
and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities. He began his
commentary as his parents put their plan into operation.

"There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he shouted. A few
moments passed.

"An ambulance just drove by."

A few moments later, "Looks like the Anderson's have company," he called
out. "Matt's riding a new bike."

A few moments later, "Looks like the Sanders are moving." "Jason is on
his skate board."

A few more moments, "The Coopers are having sex."

Startled, his mother and dad shot up in bed. Dad cautiously called out,
"How do you know they are having sex?"

"Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a popsicle too."

Fwd: FW: FW: 10 year old gives birth to mother's boyfriend's baby


This is sicking... What is our world coming to???

For those of us who have little girls, please read this.

The baby's birth at University Hospital on Nov. 4 was routine.

What wasn't routine was the fact the infant's mother was just 10, impregnated by her mother's boyfriend.



Now, social workers are trying to figure out how to unravel the mess involving one of the youngest children ever to give birth in Greater Cincinnati.
Prosecutors were in court Wednesday to discuss what to do with both children, the newborn and her now 11-year-old mom.
The court session in Hamilton County Dependency Court on Wednesday was primarily a status session on how both the baby and young mother are doing.
At the same time Wednesday, Lockland police were in Columbus talking to a convict whose DNA shows he's the baby girl's father.
Michael Chaffer, 40, is accused of impregnating his girlfriend's 10-year-old daughter, according to Hamilton County prosecutors.
The baby's birth set off an investigation by the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services and stunned social workers because the baby's mother is so young.
The baby has been taken from her mother and put in a foster home while the child-mother is now being taken care of by a relative. Her mother is not allowed to see the baby and can only see her daughter when supervised by social workers.
Lawyers jammed the courtroom Wednesday, representing the prosecutor's office and all three generations of the family.
The girl's mother was warned not to let any adult men in her Lockland home while caseworkers tried to track down the infant's father.
Paternity was not determined until Wednesday morning.

Prosecutors say the girl's mother ignored that order to keep adult men away from her child, and when a caseworker made a surprise visit to her Lockland home Jan. 4, they found Chaffer.
Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Lee Slocum said Chaffer faces criminal charges for impregnating and sexually molesting a girl under the age of 13.
Lockland Police Chief James Toles said two officers were interviewing Chaffer on Wednesday in a Columbus prison, where he is serving a one-year sentence on an unrelated charge.

Sex with a child under 13 is considered statutory rape, a crime punishable with a life prison term.
As JFS investigated the case, several relatives of the 11-year-old girl contacted the agency saying Chaffer sexually abused the girl for a "period of time."
The 11-year-old girl's mother is also under investigation, Slocum said, for allowing her daughter to be abused.
Job and Family Services workers can't remember a case in which a girl so young gave birth.
"Unfortunately, sexual abuse is pretty common in the cases we see," said JFS Director Moira Weir. "But it is highly unusual and extremely sad to see a case where a 10-year-old becomes pregnant.
"This is an example of why everyone in the community needs to be extremely vigilant about watching for the signs of abuse and notifying us through our 241-KIDS hotline," she added. "The sooner we can intervene, the sooner we can make sure the child is in a safe situation."
Hamilton County prosecutors want a court designation that the 11-year-old girl was abused. They allege the 11-year-old's mother failed to care for her by allowing Chaffer near her.
Prosecutors also want to take the infant away from the mother because the sixth-grade student is too young to care for the baby.
As she waited for the hearing to start, the child, who was wearing faded jeans and a T-shirt hoody with her hair tied into a ponytail, sat next to her mother. She chatted about school, music and Disney video games.
During the hearing, as prosecutors and attorneys discussed the case and the possibility that the 11-year-old could lose her baby, she wiped away tears with the palms of her hands.
At Wednesday's hearing, Magistrate Charles Milazzo determined the girl could visit her baby at least twice a week.
But he said the 11-year-old girl's mother may see her only if social workers can supervise the visits, and that she may not see the baby.
Authorities became aware of the birth after the 11-year-old girl delivered the baby at University Hospital . Hospital officials notified JFS because the mother was so young.
The 11-year-old girl and the infant were allowed to remain in the mother's home while JFS investigated the case. Two other men were eliminated as the baby's father before Chaffer's DNA was tested.
When the caseworker found Chaffer in the home Jan. 4 - a violation of JFS' order that no men be in the home - they arrested him on a charge of obstruction of official business.

Court records show Chaffer slammed the door on the officer and refused to open it.
Chaffer pleaded guilty to that charge the next day, which violated his probation on an earlier drug charge. As a result he was sent to prison for one year.

JFS immediately took the 11-year-old girl and infant from the home.

Southern Style Sweet Tea - remark towards Blacks

Read this as a proud Black person and forward this to every black person you know!

My name is LaMar McGowan and today was the first day of my life where I felt like less of a Black Man! When did Slavery become marketable? I'm calling for a nation wide Boycott on a drink company named " Arizona ", which has a variety of flavors. I myself have bought a number of their
drinks, but on 11/30 I bought my last one. There is someone in the Marketing Dept. who told someone on the board that "We can degrade Black People and make money at the same time" and the board member agreed!

Every Black person from the south knows how good it felt on those hot southern days to have a tall glass of sweet tea. "< st="on">Arizona" has a flavor known as "Southern Style Sweet Tea" but if you look closely on the front of the can there is a picture of a Plantation! Yes,I said a Plantation ,
with a white couple on the porch and a Black woman dressed like Aunt Jamama walking away from the house. When did Slavery become marketable?

My Grandfather was 100 years old before he passed in 2004 and that picture reminds me of his painful stories, not a hot southern day with a cool refreshing glass of sweet tea. So stop buying any drinks from this company! Stand up and let your voice be heard and overload their lines.

13) Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

14) Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative
thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15) Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class....but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16) Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

17) Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

23) Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

24) Ladies - Go on and burn those 'special' scented candles, use the 600 thread count sheets, the good china and wear our fancy lingerie now. Stop waiting for a special occasion. Everyday is special.

25) No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

26) Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

27.) Forgive everyone for everything.

28) What other people think of you is none of your business.

29) Time heals almost everything. Give time, time!

30) However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

31) Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch with them.

32) Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

33) Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. God provides remember?!

34) The best is yet to come. (in Heaven)

35) No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

36) Do the right thing!

37) Call your family often.

38) Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: 'I am thankful for __________.' Today I accomplished _________.

39) Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

40) Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast
pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
