The End of October Doesn't Mean An End To Awareness!
Domestic Violence Awareness
Month may be coming to a close at the end of October, but we must not forget
that every day men, women and children seek safety and justice inside America's
courts.
Sadly, from New York to California, victims of domestic violence are facing a rationing of justice. Court furlough days have resulted in backlogs and delayed temporary restraining orders. Crippling budget cuts mean courts must reduce their hours of operation or close altogether.
Turned away at shuttered courthouse doors, victims of domestic violence are left to fend for themselves.
In Oregon, "Jane" had to wait three days to file a Family Abuse Prevention Act Restraining Order because Friday was a designated court furlough day. In New Jersey, "Joe" sat outside a courtroom door for nearly five hours waiting to be heard while the increasing backlog of cases ultimately suspended civil and family court trials and delayed temporary restraining orders. And in Mississippi, children were left in limbo while safe custody and visitation orders took a back seat to devastating court budget cuts that delayed and postponed the administration of justice.
Lives are in danger, and we must act now. Our courts cannot do their part to protect families unless they are fully funded. Donate to Justice at Stake today by clicking HERE. Our courts must not be closed to the public.

BCA sig tags 2014
Bringing Awareness to Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Research through my sig tags.
Here are a few of my BCA and BCR 2014 sig tags featuring the fabulous artwork of
Elias, Garv and RAC
Halloween 2014 Sig Tags
Here are some of my Halloween 2014 sig tags I made!
WORD OF CAUTION
Most of these tags are not suitable for children to view.
Parental discretion is strongly urged!
NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED!
If you proceed and get your knickers all twisted in a knot because the tags are too sexy or too this, that and the other thing...kindly piss off!
You were warned!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Cyber Security Awareness
Did you know that October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month?
Okay, maybe you knew about this, but I didn't. Then again, October seems to be a busy month for Awareness campaigns.
At any rate...
Seeing how National Cyber Security Awareness Month is now drawing to an end, just keep in mind that it does not mean the dangers are going away until next year.
The dangers are out there every day people!
So what can you do about it?
Take a little time to learn about the issues. You don’t have to be a “techie” to learn about current scams, dangers to your children, securing your computer, etc.
Here is a good, easy to follow website that will help you learn about all of these risks AND what to do about them: http://www.onguardonline.gov
It helps you find the answers for questions like:
How do I know if I have been hacked?
Why shouldn’t I use the coffee shop Wi-Fi to access my bank or pay my bills?
How can I protect my kids online?
How can I make my home computer more secure?
Is it safe to use an IP camera in my home?
How can I avoid Malware on my computer?
As well as answers to many other questions you may have.
Cyber Security is not just “the other guys” job. It’s everyone’s job. We live in a Cyber-World now, like it or not. Be part of the team, and keep yourself and everyone else safe.
