<div>
Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, is a hard-hitting documentary that exposes the disturbing trends in modern sex slavery.<br />
<br />
From the very first scene, Nefarious ushers you into the nightmare of sex slavery that hundreds of thousands experience daily. You’ll see where slaves are sold, often in developed, affluent countries, where they work, and where they are confined. <br />
<br />
You’ll hear first-hand interviews with real victims and traffickers, along with expert analysis from international humanitarian leaders. <br />
<br />
<div>
We will also have a speaker, Erin Luken, who will share her experiences with trafficking on her missionary journeys.</div>
<div>
As this film deals with mature subject matter, it is recommended for ages 13 and older.<br />
<br />
Childcare will be available for a small donation. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been, until now, a very happy, long-time Sprint customer, I have been a customer for nearly 10 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reason for my frustration is my current phone, the Epic4G. Ever since the latest update to Gingerbread, I have had nothing but problems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of them are:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Random rebooting.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Random locking up and freezing, requiring me to pull the battery to get it to restart.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No audio - nothing on the phone calls, notifications, or alarms. Requires a reboot to get back</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Running very hot to to the touch, even when no apps are open</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Incredibly fast battery drain, sometimes with 3-4 hours even with very limited use</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unable to make phone calls at all - nothing happens when I attempt to dial. Again this requires a reboot.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">GPS will not connect.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Calls will go right to voice mail, and voicemail does not show up for hours.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the phone is locked up and I pull the battery to reset it, the battery goes from almost full to almost empty</span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is just a few, there are several other problems as well, and judging by the amount of <a href="http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/81122?tstart=0" target="_blank">similar</a> <a href="http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/82495" target="_blank">complaints</a> I have found on the internet, I am not alone in this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To date, I have done three factory resets. After the third one, I did not install any of my apps, but just had the stock phone. After the 2nd day, it was back to freezing and having to have the battery pulled to get it to restart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to the nearest Sprint store to see what could be done. My first option was to bring my phone to a service center and have it rolled back to Froyo. I did go to the service center, they said there was a hardware issue causing all of this; one of the pins in the charging port was bent and possibly causing it to short. The swapped my phone for a refurb model, and said that should take care of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Within days the exact same issues began anew. Factory reset again, no change.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My second option was to add a new phone on a third line, wait the 30 days, then swap my current phone number to the new phone, and the new phone number to the Epic. Unacceptable because the additional expense would be a minimum of $720.00 over a two-year contract, plus the cost <span style="background-color: white;">of the new phone.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The third option would be to do an early upgrade for a $125.00 fee and purchase a new phone. Since I would like the iPhone 4s, this results in a $325 total charge. Again, </span><span style="background-color: white;">unacceptable</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday night I was driving home hoping to beat the storms. Wires came down in the road directly in front of me, so I attempted to call 911. Guess what... my phone was locked up yet again. Pulled the battery, waited for the reboot, and then was able to call 911.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday night, the alarm company that does my mother-in-laws medical alert station called and said they had a faulty signal and could I go check to make sure everything was OK. I hustled up there, she was fine, but while talking to the alarm company my phone rebooted.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Completely fed up at this point, I called Sprint Customer Service again. Apparently the people on the phone lines don't share info with the people in the stores. The rep I talked to on the phone tried his best to help me. He got in contact with account services, who said that the store has the ability to waive the early upgrade fee. The store told me that they cannot do this. I told the rep on the phone that, and he said the store had incorrect information, and they certainly could waive the fee.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Sunday afternoon I went to the Sprint store on Glenway Avenue, again lined out all the issues and problems I have been having, and told the manager what the rep on the customer service line told me. He said that was wrong, the store had no way to waive the fee, and that he never heard of that even being a possibility. </span><span style="background-color: white;">So what I have is this. A phone that doesn't work 75% of the time, a company that has a huge disconnect between sales and support, and complete frustration that a 10-year customer has no recourse. It's completely and utterly inconceiveable that this kind of runaround still exists.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">So if anyone in Sprint land wants to try and help me, I'm more than willing to stick with you. </span><span style="background-color: white;">My ideal solution would be to have the early upgrade fee waived and I will purchase the iPhone. You've had my business for 10 years, what are you going to do to keep it?</span></span><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><P>

If we continue doing the same thing because of the fear of change - the golden handcuffs - we may never know what God really has planned for our lives. It takes courage to walk thru new doors, thankfully our faith gives us that courage.<br />

Originating in the Love146 Boston Task Force, Tread on Trafficking is a virtual event that happens across the globe beginning May 1st, 2011. <br />
<br />
Those who tread on trafficking put their foot down to raise awareness about child sex slavery and funds to care for survivors and those vulnerable to exploitation. Treaders ask sponsors to support them for the number of miles or hours they spend running, swimming, biking, or working out in some form over the eight week period of May and June. <br />
<br />
Becoming a treader is really simple, anyone, anywhere can sign up. All proceeds raised by those treading benefit the work of Love146.<br />
<br />
How can you help?<br />
<ol><li>Sponsor me! You can make a donation <a href="http://love146.kintera.org/tread/snixon67" target="_blank">here</a></li>
<li>Join the Love146 Cincinnati Metro team <a href="http://love146.kintera.org/tread/cincymetro" target="_blank">here</a></li>
<li>Set a goal for the total number of miles or hours you’ll walk, bike, swim, etc... between May 1st and June 30th. My personal goal is 120 walking miles (not in a row!!)</li>
<li>Find sponsors to pledge to support you financially, either for miles/hours completed, or in one time gifts.</li>
<li>Get your tee and use it to spread the word about your efforts to end child trafficking, pick up one <a href="http://skreened.com/love146/tread-on-trafficking-putting-my-foot-down?direction=asc&field=order&query=&start=0&count=20" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>Start treading! By yourself, with friends, or a team - with every step you’ll be contributing to the protection and restoration of children.</li>
<li>Encourage others to join you! Even after the 8 weeks have begun it's never too late to start fighting injustice.</li>
<li>Join the <a href="http://www.love146cincy.org/" target="_blank">Love146 Cincinnati Metro Task force</a>.</li>
</ol><div>Thanks for reading this, and thanks for your support.<br />

Yes, it really has been 2 months since I last updated this blog. I blame ennui.<br />

Anyway... as anyone in or near Greater Cincinnati knows, yesterday was Opening Day. I firmly believe Opening Day should be a paid holiday, since everybody and their brother was downtown yesterday.<br />

Nurse a hangover?<br />

Watch some football?<br />
<br />
Sit around the house in your jammies?<br />

Or did you get together with some very cool people and do something totally insane?<br />

I had been setting a little aside each payday, $10 here, $5 there, until I had enough.<br />
<br />
I was going to buy a <a href="http://now.sprint.com/epic4g/">Samsung Epic</a>. I have an upgrade credit from Sprint, and that plus what I had saved would have covered the cost. It's a beautiful phone; 4G, Android OS, full QWERTY keyboard and other goodies<br />

But... something happened. <br />
<br />
I got an email earlier today, about an hour or so before I was going to head out and purchase the phone. Someone had taken a serious financial hit today, and now had nothing for food, let alone Christmas presents for their kids. <br />
<br />
Here I was, accessories all purchased ahead of time so I would have a case, screen shield, and car charger for my new toy, and as I read that email, I knew that I didn't need that phone. I knew what I had to do. I knew what God was showing me. I didn't need the new, shiny toy. My current phone is just fine, I just wanted something nicer. I didn't <b>need</b> it, I wanted it.<br />
<br />
I brought them the money. I handed it over and I felt joy, true joy. This was a far greater feeling than I would have had from a phone. I was able to share some of what I've been blessed with.<br />
<br />
That is better than any toy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes, there is an indoor smoking ban in Ohio, I'm glad there is. But to complain about this? C'mon! Grow up. Or better yet, man up and tell us who you are instead of making an anonymous complaint.<br />
<br />
Now, it's time to celebrate!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><P>

I love Amazon.com, let's get that out of the way. first. If you look at my buying history there, you'll see my first <a href="http://www.amazon.com/American-Century-Harold-Evans/dp/037570938X?ie=UTF8&tag=one069-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">purchase</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=one069-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=037570938X" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> there was in 1998 and my most recent <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clerks-Anniversary-Blu-ray-Brian-OHalloran/dp/B002LMOCJ0?ie=UTF8&tag=one069-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">one</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=one069-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B002LMOCJ0" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> was Friday. Even better is my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fprime%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dsr_tc_sc_2_0%26qid%3D1284987852%26sr%3D8-2-tc&tag=one069-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957">Prime</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=one069-20&l=ur2&o=1" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> membership, especially since I can share it with Carol.<br />
<br />
A couple things bug me though; number one being lack of customer pickup. I work right near Amazon's distribution centers in Hebron. I would love to be able to pick up my orders instead of having them shipped to me. It would not only save time, but cut down on oil consumption.<br />
<br />
Here's a more recent complaint. Packaging. They are really overdoing it with the packaging. We recently got a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Contour-Products-Back-Wedge-Massage/dp/B0015Y8RPK?ie=UTF8&tag=one069-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">back wedge</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=one069-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0015Y8RPK" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> for Carol to help with her GERD, and the box that it was packed in could have doubled as a rowboat. To top it off, it had over a hundred feet of paper inside. Check these out.<br />

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. <sup>46</sup> If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?

Do not even pagans do that? <sup>48</sup> Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.</span><br />

Today we arrived about 7:10, and saw a strange sight on the edge of the parking lot: A 3-foot tall, purple cup. <br />
<br />
We had no idea what it was, and there were two rabbits looking at it with the same puzzled expression we had. So of course, we had to go check it out.<br />
<br />
Turns out, the cup was part of a promotion McDonald's is running. They scattered these cups around in various spots, and whoever found one and brought it to the nearest McDonald's would win free McCafe smoothies for a year!<br />

Seriously! As the cup says.<br />
<br />
There was a packet with the cup containing a t-shirt and instructions for the manager at McDonald's. We tossed the cup into the backseat of Carol's car and boogied on down to the Hebron McDonald's. We were getting some strange looks from the people in the McD's lot as we were walking in with it, but the workers all knew what was up and congratulated us on the win. <br />
<br />
They took a picture of us with the cup, and had us fill out some paperwork, and said we would be receiving cards in the mail for one free smoothie a week for the next 52 weeks! Awesome!<br />

So the next time you see a giant purple cup in a parking lot, go pick it up, you never know what it will be.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><P>
