Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. Please read the poem he wrote. It's below his picture.
The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama . Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama ! The judge's poem sums it up quite well.America the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain
From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray
We've kept God in our temples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges
who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer
in a well-deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.
You think that God's not angry,
that our land's a moral slum ?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes ?
How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide ?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide ?
If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:
Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within....
But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.~~Judge Roy Moore~~IN GOD WE TRUST!This says it all. May we all forward this message and offer our prayers for Judge Moore to be blessed and for America to wake up and realize what we need to do to keep OUR America the Beautiful.
Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in Prayer. He has stood firm and needs our support.

The Harmful Chemicals in Disposable Diapers
The Harmful Chemicals in Disposable DiapersYour baby will be wearing diapers 24 hours per day for about the first 2 ¾-3 years of his life. The type of diaper you choose will determine what, if any, harmful chemicals your baby is exposed to through skin absorption and breathing. Disposable diapers contain toxic chemicals, drying agents, dyes and fragrances.
This article will cover dioxin and sodium polyacrylate. I believe that the health effects of these two chemicals are enough for any parent in considering their choices of what type of diaper to use on their delicate baby’s bottom.
I have used reputable sources in my research. These sources include government websites and medical and science journals such as: the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the American Journal of Epidemiology, the Archives of Environmental Health, the Archives of Disease in Childhood, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry, the National Center for Biotechnology Information and material data safety sheets for each chemical.
Dioxins and sodium polyacrylate, two of the chemicals found in disposable diapers, have eitherbeen linked to or have caused the following toxic responses: cancer, reproductive & infertility problems, asthma & respiratory distress, hormonal problems, developmental & cognitive problems, suppressed immune system, diabetes, endometriosis, allergic reactions, chemical burns, Chloracne, and Toxic Shock Syndrome (in the use of tampons).
There have also been reports (on sites all over the internet) that diapers may contain many other chemicals. I haven’t taken the time to research and confirm that these chemicals are indeed present in disposable diapers. I will leave the option of researching these chemicals up to you, the reader. If you do investigate whether or not these chemicals are in disposable diapers I would appreciate you sharing your source and findings by leaving a comment below. Some of these chemicals include:
- Tributyltin – This is toxic to humans and environment, is a persistent organic pollutant, causes irreversible damage to aquatic life, and is linked to obesity in humans (triggers genes that cause the growth of fat cells).
- Xylene – This is toxic to the respiratory and central nervous systems. Breathing
high concentrations in an enclosed space can cause irregular heartbeats which can cause death. - Ethylbenzene – This chemical is listed as possibly cancer-causing. It is mutagenic (capable of causing mutation). The substance may be toxic to the central nervous system. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. It may cause central nervous system depression, is an aspiration hazard if swallowed and can enter the lungs and cause damage. It causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation.
- Styrene- This substance is cancer-causing and is toxic to the nervous system and upper respiratory tract. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. It is very hazardous to the eyes.
- Propylene – This chemical is an anesthetic at high concentrations. Inhalation may cause central nervous system depression producing dizziness, drowsiness, headache and similar narcotic symptoms. Extremely high concentrations can cause asphyxiation and death by displacing oxygen from the breathing atmosphere.
- Toluene – The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, the nervous system, liver, brain, and central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.

Dioxins
Disposable diapers contain traces of Dioxin. Dioxin is an extremely toxic, cancer-causing chemical that is found in disposable diapers as a result (by product) of the chlorine bleaching process.
According to the Environmental Health Perspectives: There is “No Evidence of Dioxin Cancer Threshold” and “the range is consistent with a threshold of zero” – meaning there is no evidence of an acceptable or safe level of exposure to dioxin. Dioxin is cumulative and slow to disintegrate.
Of all the dioxins and furans, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is the most toxic.
Dioxins induce a wide spectrum of toxic responses in experimental animals including reproductive (infertility or decreased ability to reproduce), endocrine (changes in hormonal systems), developmental (developmental delays and changes in the development of the fetus), and immunologic toxicities (suppressed immune system) as well as carcinogenicity (the ability or tendency to produce cancer).
Associations between TCDD exposure and non-cancer health effects such as diabetes and developmental (cognitive) delays have also been reported.
Evidence suggests that increased exposures to dioxins are associated with increased incidence ofendometriosis in humans.
High doses of dioxins cause a skin disease called Chloracne.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its Dioxin Reassessment in draft form in 2000, which concluded that dioxin should be classified as a known human carcinogen.
The American Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 154, Issue 5, Pp. 451-458, states that theInternational Agency for Research on Cancer recently concluded that 2,3,7,8 TCDD is ahuman carcinogen. This data supports recent conclusions by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Sodium Polyacrylate
Sodium polyacrylate is a super absorbent polymer (SAP) that can absorb 300 times its weight in tap water. It is the “diaper gel” found in wet diapers. It can absorb 800 times its weight in distilled water because of the lack of minerals. This super absorbent polymer is added to diapers in its granular powder form and turns into a gel-like substance once the diaper becomes wet.
Health Effects:
Workers working with this chemical are supplied with material data safety sheets specifying the first aid for exposure. You can find many sources of these sheets on the internet by doing a search for: “sodium polyacrylate material data safety sheet”. The first aid for each exposure is listed below. This is for ONE EXPOSURE. Babies that wear disposable diapers are exposed to this chemical 24 hours per day for about 3 years. No “first aid” is given to them for each exposure or for their LONG-TERM exposure.
Skin:
Sodium polyacrylate is a skin irritant. It is a drying agent responsible for absorbing moisture in the diaper. It also absorbs (leaches) oils and moisture from a baby’s skin, causing abrasion irritation and drying of the skin. Exposure to the dust may aggravate existing skin conditions due to the drying effect.
First Aid: Wash the skin with soap and water.
First Aid: Wash the skin with soap and water.
Respiratory:
The respirable dust is a potential respiratory tract irritant. This chemical has a recommended eight-hour exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m³. Exposure to respirable dust may cause respiratory tract and lung irritation and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions.
First Aid: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Contact a physician.
First Aid: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Contact a physician.
Eyes:
Dust may cause burning, drying, itching, and other discomfort, resulting in reddening of the eyes.
First Aid: Flush thoroughly with large amounts of water for at least fifteen minutes. If irritation persists consult a physician.
First Aid: Flush thoroughly with large amounts of water for at least fifteen minutes. If irritation persists consult a physician.
A Study by Anderson Laboratories, Inc.
A study published in 1999 by Anderson Laboratories, Inc. found that lab mice that were exposed to various brands of disposable diapers experienced asthma-like symptoms, as well as eye, nose and throat irritation. The results demonstrated that some types of disposable diapers emit chemicals that are toxic to the respiratory tract and that disposable diapers should be considered as one of the factors that might cause or exacerbate asthmatic conditions. Exposure to cloth diapers did not cause these symptoms.

What milk is best for my baby
Milk
Milk and dairy products are great sources of energy and protein – and have lots of vitamins and minerals, like calcium, which kids need to build healthy bones and teeth.
You can use your Healthy Start vouchers to buy powdered infant formula milk or any kind of heat-treated plain cow’s milk – whole, semi-skimmed, 1% fat or skimmed. Heat-treated milks are miks that say pasteurised, sterilised or long-life (UHT) on the carton or bottle.
Remember: you can’t buy soya milk, goat’s milk products, or ‘milks’ made from rice, oats or almonds with your vouchers. You can’t spend them on soya-based formula either – which you should only give to your baby if your doctor, health visitor or dietitian has advised you to.
You can’t buy follow-on formula (labelled as ‘suitable for use from six months’) with your vouchers. Infant formula milk is suitable for all babies under 12 months old. Keep feeding your baby breast milk or infant formula alongside a variety of solid foods until they are one year old.
At around six months, when your baby starts on solids, you can mix whole (full-fat) cow’s milk with your baby’s food, but never give cows milk as a drink until they are over 12 months old.
Never give babies under 12 months condensed, evaporated or dried milk; sheep’s or goat’s milk; or any ‘milks’ made from rice, oats or almonds.
Remember: if you do decide to bottle feed your baby, make sure that you follow the advice onsafe bottle feeding.
Never give babies under 12 months condensed, evaporated or dried milk; sheep’s or goat’s milk; or any ‘milks’ made from rice, oats or almonds.
What milk is best for my toddler (12-24 months years)?
You can continue to breastfeed while offering your child a range of solid foods.
You can continue to breastfeed while offering your child a range of solid foods.
You can give your child whole (full-fat) cow’s milk as a drink from one year old.
At this age, children can drink whole or semi-skimmed milk, but not skimmed or 1% milk as they don’t provide enough calories. If your child doesn’t like milk, it’s important to try to include other dairy foods in their diet such as yoghurt or cheese, but don’t give them lower-fat versions.
What milk is best if I’m pregnant?
If you’re buying milk for yourself, try semi-skimmed, 1% fat or skimmed milk – they have all the calcium found in whole milk but less fat, helping you avoid putting on too much weight during your pregnancy.

10 Danger Signs of Pregnancy
10 Danger Signs of Pregnancy
Mar 23, 2011
| By
Pregnancy is a happy
time for most women. While most expectant mothers experience an average
pregnancy, there are certain dangers associated with this condition
which can result in health complications for both you and your baby.
Knowing what these complications are can help reduce your risk of
experiencing them.
Heavy Bleeding in the First Two Months
Heavy
bleeding and severe pain in the pelvis, typically within the first two
months of pregnancy, can indicate an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic
pregnancies occur when the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian
tubes rather than making its way to the uterus where it has space to
grow and develop. If not detected and treated promptly, it can result in
death, according to the American Pregnancy Association.

Abdominal Cramping with Spotting
Abdominal
cramping accompanied by spotting or bleeding is an indication of a
miscarriage. Miscarriages occur in 20 percent of all pregnancies and
generally take place before a woman even realizes she is pregnant. It
can happen, however, as late as the 20th week of pregnancy. In most
cases, a miscarriage cannot be prevented.
Intense Feelings of Sadness
Intense
feelings of sadness that do not go away are indicative of depression, a
condition that can occur during and/or after pregnancy. Additional
symptoms include changes in appetite, feeling hopeless, becoming
irritable or having thoughts of harming ones self or the baby. Treatment
usually includes therapy, medication and support groups.
Excessive Thirst, Frequent Urination
Gestational
diabetes typically occurs during the second trimester of pregnancy and
is due to the mother's inability to produce enough insulin. If any
symptoms occur, they usually include extreme thirst or hunger, frequent
urination and fatigue. Pills are rarely an option while pregnant,
therefore many doctors choose to treat with diet or insulin.
Vaginal Bleeding Accompanied by Cramping
When
a woman experiences vaginal bleeding along with abdominal pain,
cramping and tenderness in the uterus, she may be experiencing placental
abruption. This is a condition in which the placenta pulls away from
the wall of the uterus, depriving the fetus of oxygen. If the case is
mild, bed rest may be all that is needed. If it is a more severe
situation, however, and more than half the placenta has separated, early
delivery of the baby may be needed to save its life.
Contractions and Vaginal Discharge
Women
who give birth any time prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy are considered
to be in preterm labor. Signs of this include abdominal cramping that
radiates around to the back, contractions, pressure in your pelvis and
an increase in vaginal discharge. Women's Health states that while some
medications can help slow or stop preterm labor from progressing, bed
rest is often prescribed.
High Blood Pressure
High
blood pressure is a sign of toxemia, also know as preeclampsia. It is a
condition occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy and its most common
symptoms include high blood pressure, blurred vision, headaches and
stomach pain. In most cases, the only treatment is delivery of the baby.
This is not a problem if the mother is closer to 37 weeks; however, if
she is still too early in her pregnancy, the doctor may choose to treat
with bed rest and medication to lower her blood pressure.
Constant Fatigue
Anemia
is a condition that occurs when the red blood cell count is lower than
what it should be. Its symptoms include constant fatigue or feeling
faint, becoming short of breath and looking pale. The doctor may
prescribe folic acid and iron supplements to help treat the problem. If
it becomes severe, a blood transfusion may be necessary.
Constant Nausea and Vomiting
Constant
nausea and vomiting are signs of hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition
that mirrors morning sickness. It is, however, more severe and does not
end after the first few weeks. Because of the constant nausea and
vomiting, dehydration and weight loss may result. The doctor might first
recommend switching to a bland diet (e.g dry toast, rice), but if this
is unsuccessful, the mother could require hospitalization in order to
receive fluids via an intravenous line.
Late-Term Vaginal Bleeding
Late-term
vaginal bleeding is an indication of a condition known as placenta
previa, which causes the placenta to cover part or all of the cervical
opening inside the uterus. Some women experience no symptoms, while
others experience vaginal bleeding without pain during the second or
third trimester. If not controlled through bed rest, this can lead to
hospitalization or preterm labor.

Are Afghan Blankets Dangerous for Babies?
Are Afghan Blankets Dangerous for Babies?
Apr 4, 2013 | By
It can be difficult to
resist the lure of those adorable blankets in your baby's crib. With so
many cute, fluffy blankets on the market, it can be difficult to forego a
blanket in your newborn's crib. The American Academy of Pediatrics
tells parents not use any type of blanket in a baby's crib, including
afghans, for safety reasons.
Guidelines
The
American Academy of Pediatrics states that parents should not put
anything soft in their baby's crib. This includes ant type of blanket,
pillow, crib bumpers and any stuffed animals. These items can cover a
baby's face and restrict breathing. Sometimes, babies roll up against a
soft object, and babies cannot roll over until about 4 months of age.
The AAP recommends against using blankets as a way to help reduce the
risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
Baby's Age
Laura
Reno, the vice president of public affairs for the First Candle/SIDS
Alliance, states it's never safe to put a blanket in the crib with your
child, even after she turns one and the risk of SIDS decreases. Instead,
Reno advises waiting to use a blanket until your baby moves into a
toddler bed. However, an afghan is a perfectly safe choice for spreading
on the ground when you play with your baby. Lay her on her tummy on an
afghan and let her feel the nubby fabric with her fingers or let her
rest on her back and show her toys or books.
Wrapping Your Baby
Many
pediatricians recommend swaddling your baby when she's little because
the sensation emulates the tight quarters in the womb. It can often
comfort and soothe a baby who's having trouble sleeping. The Women's and
Children's Health Network suggests using thin, cotton or muslin
blankets for swaddling. Heavier fabrics, such as the yarn used to make
afghans, can restrict movement and prevent chest expansion, which isn't
safe for a sleeping baby. Once your baby can loosen her swaddle and move
out of the swaddling, it is safer to stop wrapping her and choose an
alternative to the blanket.
Alternatives
You
don't have to pack away those beautiful handmade afghans until your
baby is older, but they shouldn't be used for sleeping. Use it cover
your baby when she's in your arms or when you're comforting her during a
bout of crying, but put it aside when she's sleeping in the crib.
Instead, put your baby in a wearable blanket, which has arms like a pair
of pajamas, but keeps her warm with plenty of space to move her legs.
In addition, the AAP recommends you use a firm mattress with a tightly
fitted crib sheet, and always put your baby on her back for sleeping,
never on her tummy or side.

Young Workers: Your Rights and Responsibilities
Young Workers: Your Rights and Responsibilities
Has anyone ever asked you to do something that you felt uncomfortable doing? Have you ever felt intimidated because you were new to a workplace? Being new on the job is hard, and learning to speak up for your rights as a worker can sometimes be difficult; but no paycheque is worth getting hurt for. You need to make sure you stay safe and get home in one piece---no matter what. Take the initiative to know what your rights and responsibilities are, and how to stay safe in the workplace.
What are your RIGHTS as a worker?
- You have the right to KNOW:
- To know what hazards are present on the job and how these hazards can affect you
- To learn about chemical safety through WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System)
- To receive information, instruction, and training about safe work procedures

- You have the right to REFUSE.
- You can refuse to do tasks and to work in conditions you think are unsafe, without being fired or being disciplined for refusing.
- You have the right to be supervised to make sure you are working without unnecessary risk to yourself or others.
| How to refuse unsafe work |
Your employer is legally responsible for putting safe work practices in place, and you're responsible for following them. If you have safety and health concerns, it's your responsibility to report them. Here's where to raise questions:
|
What are your RESPONSIBILITIES as a worker?
- You should know and follow your workplace's health and safety requirements, and encourage co-workers to do the same.
- If you don't know how to do something safely, ask for training before you begin work.
- Cooperate with the joint committee or worker health and safety representative, WorkSafeBC prevention officers, and any other person carrying out occupational health and safety duties.
- Be alert to hazards, and immediately report hazards or problems to the supervisor or employer.
- Immediately report an unsafe situation to your supervisor or employer.
- Use the protective clothing, devices, and equipment provided and find out what protective clothing you need to get for yourself.
- Refuse to do work you believe would pose a hazard to anyone's health and safety.

Top 10 Clever Hacks for Things You Thought Were Trash
Top 10 Clever Hacks for Things You Thought Were Trash
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and we’ve always been fond of finding MacGyver-like uses for anything and everything—right down to dryer lint and used candy wrappers.. Here are our top 10 favorite hacks for things you thought were headed to the garbage.
10. Make a Waterproof Fire Starter Out of Dryer Lint
For all the laundry we do in a week, we accumulate a massive amount of dryer lint. Wouldn’t it be better off going toward something useful? Whether you’re making an outdoor or indoor fire, you can always use a little help to get things started, and that dryer lint can help. Just throw the lint into a section of an egg carton, tie it up with dental floss, cover it in some old candle wax, and you’ve got yourself a waterproof fire starter for any occasion. It should last you about 15 minutes, more than enough to get a roaring fire going.
9. Make a Tablet Stylus Out of a Candy Wrapper
Steve Jobs may not approve of stylus usage, but sometimes you just need to let your inner artist out and a finger doesn’t cut it. Instead of buying a stylus though, you can make one yourself out of an old pen and a used candy wrapper. If you want to go above and beyond, a bit of tissue paper or newspaper can make it all the better.
8. Turn Bread Tags Into Cord Labels
I dread the days when I have to reach behind my desk to move some cables around, since I can never figure out which one is which. Eliminate that annoyance by labeling your cables with old bread tags: just write down the device that each cord leads to and slap them on. You’ll never have to run your hand through that bird’s nest of cables ever again.
7. Turn a Plastic Bottle Into a Smartphone Bike Mount
While we recommend investing in a reusable water bottle, sometimes you just have to buy it bottled, and then you have one more piece of trash lying around. Instead of throwing it away, you can turn it into a rainproof bike mount for your smartphone—perfect for navigating you home and avoiding inclement weather. Alternatively, you could turn it into a lens cap for your camera, or an irrigation system for your garden to keep it watered while you’re away from home.
6. Remove Bad Smells and Clean Windows with Newspaper
Old newspapers are good for more than just starting fire, and if you still haven’t moved over to the digital edition of your favorite rag, you can use it as a household odor-killer. Just stuff it in drawers, refrigerators, shoes, or any other smelly place and it should clear that odor right up. Alternatively, you could turn it into an actual rag: newspaper is the perfect way to clean your windows with a streak-free shine.
5. Turn an Old Gift Card Into a Headphone Cable Wrapper
Once you’ve used up that gift card from Aunt Petunia, you don’t have to toss it—with a few cuts here and there, it can make a great cable wrapper for your headphones. Of course, you can always use our beloved “devil horns” method if you don’t have a gift card around, but the gift card can help keep them from unraveling.
4. Turn an Old Sock Into an MP3 Player-Holding Armband
If you’ve tried exercising with your smartphone or MP3 player, you know how much of a pain they can be bouncing around in your pocket or clipped onto your shorts. Clipping it on your arm really is the best way to go, and if you don’t want to buy an armband, just cut the toe off an old sock and slide it up your arm. Then, fold the bottom half up to create a pocket for your device. It may not be quite as fancy as the store-bought model, but it’s hard to beat the low price of $0.
3. Turn a Shampoo Bottle Into a Charging Station
We all have one or two devices we dump out of our pockets as soon as we get home, and what better place to put them than in the wall? With an old shampoo or lotion bottle, you can create a nice charging cradle for them that hangs right off the socket, so they aren’t taking up space on the floor. Alternatively, you can take those old bottles and organize your cables on the wall, too.
2. Turn Toilet Paper Tubes Into Cable Organizers
We tech nerds amass tons of extra cables over time, and we’re afraid to get rid of them for fear we might need them one day. The solution? Take all those toilet paper tubes you use up and turn them into an ugly but incredibly awesome cable organizer. It’ll keep all your cables stored and labeled neatly, without tangles, all the while making use of your trash. You can also use them to just control your cable clutter of individual appliances, too.
1. Turn a Soda Can Into a Wi-Fi Extender
We’re always looking for ways to improve our Wi-Fi signal, and if you aren’t ready to give up and buy a new router, you can try extending your range with a soda can. Just cut it up and put it on your antenna, where it’ll act as a parabolic reflector and enjoy Wi-Fi on the far side of your house. Plus, when you’re done, you can hang pictures with the can’s tabs, too.
Got any other clever tips for reusing your trash? Share them with us in the comments.
