Devil burns baby! WTF!!

Ok folks, I don't rant much on this blog... But what the hell is this bull shit! Not only is this incredibly stupid, but what is equally insane is that this "girl"/wife is trying to blame the DEVIL for her husbands actions!!! I seriously hope that not only are the parents rights severed, but that they are BOTH thrown in jail. Maybe they should be forced to spend 10-20 seconds in a Microwave!!!!!

(CBS) HOUSTON A woman blames the devil and not her husband for severely burning their infant daughter after the 2-month-old was put in a microwave, a Houston television station reported.
Eva Marie Mauldin said Satan compelled her 19-year-old husband, Joshua Royce Mauldin, to microwave their daughter May 10 because the devil disapproved of Joshua's efforts to become a preacher.
"Satan saw my husband as a threat. Satan attacked him because he saw (Joshua) as a threat," Eva Mauldin told CBS affiliate station KHOU-TV in Houston.
A Galveston County grand jury indicted Joshua Mauldin last week on child injury charges after hearing evidence that he placed his daughter in a motel microwave for 10 to 20 seconds.
The infant, Ana Marie, remains hospitalized. She suffered burns on the left side of her face and to her left hand, police said.
Eva Marie Mauldin, the girl's 20-year-old mother, told the television station that her husband is "not the monster people are making him out to be."
"That was not my husband; my husband is a wonderful father," she said. "Satan was working through his weaknesses."
Eva Maudlin described those weaknesses as an undisclosed mental disability, and that her efforts to get help for him have failed.
Police said Joshua Mauldin told them he put Ana Marie in the microwave because he was under stress. The family had arrived in Galveston the day before.

What gets me the most about this shit, is that SHE KNEW her husband had a mental problem. Just think about this for a moment. This is how a microwave oven works:

A microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food. Microwaves are radio waves. In the case of microwave ovens, the commonly used radio wave frequency is roughly 2,500 megahertz (2.5 gigahertz). Radio waves in this frequency range have an interesting property: they are absorbed by water, fats and sugars. When they are absorbed they are converted directly into atomic motion -- HEAT. In microwave cooking, the radio waves penetrate the food and excite water and fat molecules pretty much evenly throughout the food. There is heat everywhere all at once because the molecules are all excited together.

Basically, This 2 MONTH old baby was "COOKED" from the inside!! And NO I don't care that it was only for 10-20 seconds.... The fact is he placed this 2 month old child inside a microwave, set the timer and turned it ON! Imagine putting out a match on your cheek... Now imagine that flame being ignited inside you... probably starting with your eyes since there is more water there that would initially get converted to HEAT! This is a despicable crime against a child.... Mental disability or not this moron should never be allowed near a child again! Joshua Mauldin IS a MONSTER and his wife Eva Maudlin is just as crazy! This was not the "Devil" this was Joshua's immaturity and irresponsibility showing. What the hell kind of stress was he facing after just 2 months of having a baby he was this stressed?!?! There is NO Excuse for this type of behavior and it should not be tolerated! Blaming it on the devil is a very SICK joke, one that allows them to try and "Claim" he has been cured! It's utter bullshit and not worthy of another thought. This man is a sick person and should be committed at the very least, but imprisonment would be much more fitting.

Cool Carrabelle Sculpture

This was sculpted during the Seafood festival just a few weeks ago, figured I'd post a pic of it since it's pretty awesome :)

Bobby's Toy Box

This weekend we decided that the son needed a toy box that was not made from cardboard. Since our son likes to crawl into the cardboard boxes and they eventually fall apart and thus toys end up filling the entire room to the point where it is impossible to actually walk into the room. Our solution? Convert the entire bottom portion of the closet into 1 big toy box.

The top of the toy box has 1 inch foam covered in fabric we found at wal-mart. Because the lid is rather heavy at this point, my next step will be to add an actuator and/or gas springs to the lid so it won't smash little fingers. Trust me it feels like a 50lb hammer when this happens. All and all I think it turned out pretty good.

Lazy Man's Truck Loader..

This is what happens when your wife decides she wants something that's too heavy for you to lift by yourself and you have to drive out of town to pick it up.

Ingredients:
1 Truck (with large dent in the side)
1 Wench (harbor freight 49.99)
1 2x6 (scrap)
2 3 foot chains (about 10 bucks)
and a wife that really wants something (priceless??)

Here is the view from the back of the truck.















And from the side...


I also built a custom "cart" to load items onto that just does fit into the bed. It still has the oven on it, but I'll try to upload a pic the next time we go down to the shop.
