Ohio, the heart of it all

Sounds to me like a weird term for vagina.

Most of the pony names sound like terms for a vagina.

"Pinkie Pie" is definitely prison jargon, very specific prison jargon.

[Ed Anger]

And Brony decals.

Pinkie Pie is best pony.

Is that really one of the names?

Yes. And I suffer through every episode as the twins watch each episode. OVER AND OVER.

And they have learned how to use Netflix.

At least my sons turn their noses at that crap. They watch Loony Tunes with me.

Lola is borderline obsessed with watching play-doh crafting videos on youtube.  You have to pull up the first one for her but she just keeps watching whatever comes next.  The random crap Tommy runs across on Netflix ranges from unintentionally funny to flat-out annoying.  Thank God they have the kids mode and individual profiles now, at least.

David loves Youtube and will end up in the weirdest places, like watching episodes of obscure Korean cartoons.

Yeah, at one point Timmy would find the strangest crap on youtube.

And I've just realized that now 20 month old Andrew knows how to fire up the iPad and get Netflix running.

Ohio Judge Orders Man to Hold 'I AM A BULLY!' Sign

A judge has ordered a man convicted of harassing a neighbor and her disabled children to stand on a street corner with a sign that says he is a bully.

Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams-Byers ordered 62-year-old Edmond Aviv to hold the sign for five hours Sunday. The sign reads: "I AM A BULLY! I pick on children that are disabled, and I am intolerant of those that are different from myself. My actions do not reflect an appreciation for the diverse South Euclid community that I live in."

The judge also said the sign's letters must be large enough for the average person to see from 25 feet away.

Aviv pleaded no contest in February to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and was sentenced last month, according to court records.

Aviv has feuded with his neighbor, Sandra Prugh, for the past 15 years. The most recent case stems from Aviv being annoyed at the smell coming from Prugh's dryer vent when she did laundry, according to court records. In retaliation, Aviv hooked up kerosene to a fan, which blew the smell onto Pugh's property, the records said.

Prugh has two adult adopted children with developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy and epilepsy; a husband with dementia; and a paralyzed son, the Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported.

Prugh said in a letter to the court that Aviv had called her an ethnic slur while she was holding her adopted black children, spit on her several times, regularly threw dog feces on her son's car windshield and once smeared feces on the family's wheelchair ramp.

"I am very concerned for the safety of our family," Prugh wrote in a letter to the court for Aviv's sentencing. She told the newspaper she just wants to live in peace.

The judge also ordered Aviv to serve 15 days in jail and undergo anger management classes and counseling. He also had to submit a court-ordered apology letter to Prugh.

"I want to express my sincere apology for acting irrationally towards your house and the safety of your children," Aviv wrote. "I understand my actions could have caused harm but at that time I was not really thinking about it."

Aviv's attorney, Scott Fierman, didn't immediately return a message left at his office Saturday.

POLICE: OHIO MAN'S DRONE HINDERED MEDICAL CHOPPER




SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) -- A man is facing charges after deputies say he was flying a video camera-equipped drone that hindered the landing of a medical helicopter at an accident scene.

Kele Stanley, of Springfield, said he's been unfairly charged and would have landed it immediately if he knew the medical helicopter was en route.

"I'm not an idiot," he said.

The hobbyist was flying the $4,000 drone over a crash scene on Saturday morning to shoot photos and video.

Authorities said both fire officials and a Clark County sheriff's deputy told Stanley to stop flying his remote-controlled aircraft because the helicopter was preparing to land, and that he refused. The helicopter was able to land and depart safely from the scene.

Stanley is facing a felony charge of obstructing official business and misdemeanor charges of misconduct at an emergency and disorderly conduct. He pleaded not guilty during a court appearance Monday and said he's going to hire a lawyer to fight the charges.

Stanley, a 31-year-old copy-machine repairman and videographer, said he flew his remote-controlled "hexacopter" about 75 feet above where a pickup had hit a tree in Moorefield Township near Springfield. He said he was shooting the video as a hobby and would have turned it over to local television stations, as he has done before.

There currently are no regulations in Ohio governing private use of the unmanned aircraft, although law enforcement agencies must get special permits to use them. The Federal Aviation Administration bars the commercial use of drones.

[CountDeMoney]

But his drone had been grazing at the crash scene long before the chopper got there, so it's OK.

"I'm not an idiot," he said.

"I'm not an idiot," he said.

Yeah, it's hard to believe that a guy who is into RC aircraft isn't an idiot. The prices for that stuff is ridiculous.

[KRonn]

Oh yeah, I look forward to when more and more drones of varying types, owned by businesses, citizens, police and other government agencies, are flying all around.  What could possible go wrong?
