One thing that Cassandra Arnold does not lack in is a sense of humor.
However, when you get the 5-foot-9 senior from Carrier Mills on the volleyball court, nothing is a laughing matter.
To her credit through hard work and dedication - Arnold's seriousness has earned her a spot on this summer's USA Junior National Volleyball Team, which will play in Columbus Ohio during July.
Arnold jokes about hitting a girl in the face with a serve and at times, refuses to say nice things about her coach, Ashley Albritton, but only in her presence.
However, prior to the Wildcats' season is when Arnold got a little more stern and tweaked a few volleyball techniques to get her on the right path.
Arnold attended a tournament in Springfield after the season and was selected for the National Festival based on statistics and how she played against what Albritton called "the best of the best."
It's a honor to be recognized Arnold alluded too, adding that the biggest honor for her will be representing the small town.
"I want more people from small towns to realize that you can go places, you can dream big."
Albritton echoed many of Arnold's sentiments.
"That's the terrible thing is who you know and what school you go to," Albritton said. "She has tremendous talent, it's just unfortunate for us that we don't have the opportunity to showcase it in a lot of events. So this is a great event from someone like Cassandra, being a really good athlete, from a small town to have a little bit of show and tell.
"I think it's awesome experience. That was my first thought when I got (the letter) in the mail. I told her, 'You have to do this.'"
In the effort to get recognized, Arnold worked on her serves and hitting where she developed more speed.
"I had a lot of people compliment me on my serves and my spiking," Arnold said of the event in Springfield.
Arnold was a four-year varsity volleyball starter for Carrier Mills. She was an all-GEC selection her junior and senior year and during her senior season, she averaged 83 precent in spiking, 26 of which resulted in kills. She also blocked 92 spikes and/or tips, 37 of which were blocked for points.
As an outgoing senior, Arnold knows this opportunity in Columbus could be her last shot at any chance of getting noticed by colleges.
She says she is looking at Rend Lake College right now and has a few offers from some northern schools, but still is weighing her options.
Page 2 of 2 - As for Albritton, who is still relatively new in the coaching circles, will use Arnold as a model student-athlete for many years to come.
"I wish I had her for two more years. I suppose I could flunk her and somehow make her available."
Just goes to show that Arnold isn't the only one who lacks a sense of humor.

Council split over toking in the yard
City Council isn't in any hurry to license commercial marijuana stores in Pueblo, but a slight majority think city residents can use it on their own property — front porch, front yard, you name it.
"Don't people already smoke pot on their front porches?" laughed Council President Steve Nawrocki.
Maybe. But police Chief Luis Velez has said that — unless council instructs otherwise — city residents should not use marijuana in any "public" fashion, including their yards.
Amendment 64, which legalized recreational marijuana, bans its use in public places. Last month, the Denver City Council voted to let people smoke marijuana in their own yards and on porches — largely because Denver police said they wouldn't waste time writing those tickets.

Turkmenistan (formerly Turkmenia) is bounded by the Caspian Sea in the west, Kazakhstan in the north, Uzbekistan in the east, and Iran and Afghanistan in the south. About nine-tenths of Turkmenistan is desert, chiefly the Kara-Kum. One of the world's largest sand deserts, it is approximately 138,966 sq mi (360,000 sq km).
One-party republic.
Turkmenistan was once part of the ancient Persian Empire. The Turkmen people were originally pastoral nomads and some of them continued this way of life up into the 20th century, living in transportable dome-shaped felt tents. The territory was ruled by the Seljuk Turks in the 11th century. The Mongols of Ghenghis Khan conquered the land in the 13th century; they dominated the area for the next two centuries until they were deposed in the late 15th century by invading Uzbeks. Prior to the 19th century, Turkmenia was divided into two lands, one belonging to the khanate of Khiva and the other belonging to the khanate of Bukhara. In 1868, the khanate of Khiva was made part of the Russian Empire and Turkmenia became known as the Transcaspia Region of Russian Turkistan. Turkmenistan was later formed out of the Turkistan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, founded in 1922, and was made an independent Soviet Socialist Republic on May 13, 1925. It was the poorest of the Soviet republics.
Turkmenistan declared its sovereignty in Aug. 1990 and became a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States on Dec. 21, 1991, together with ten other former Soviet republics. It established a government more authoritarian than those functioning in the other newly independent central Asian republics. President Saparmurat Niyazov, also called the Turkmenbashi (Leader of All Turkmens), has attempted to create a cult of personality through extravagant self-promotion. Cities, aftershave, and a meteor now bear his name. In 2002, he renamed all the months of the calendar—April is now named after his mother. Niyazov was voted president-for-life by his rubber-stamp parliament in 1999.

Venue: Main Showroom
3475 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV
Show Dates: January 19, 2014
Show Times: 8:30pm
Show Length: 90 minutes
Starting at $45.74
Rita Rudner just might have the cleanest comedy show on the Las Vegas Strip. Aside from the rare swear word, she doesn't use vulgar language or offensive subjects to make people laugh. Instead she finds humor in everyday life. Dressed in a sparkling, floor-length gown, Rudner performs her 90-minute stand-up routine without any apprehension. She's more than comfortable on stage, an art she's mastered as the city's longest-running solo comedy show.
Rudner's jokes touch on a range of common topics from living in Las Vegas to aging, going to the doctor's office and the differences between men and women. Throughout the show there's constant laughter from the crowd as Rudner rambles on discussing things like how Vegas is the only town where when the sun goes down it gets brighter and questioning why doctors and butchers wear the same uniforms.
Rudner also references her relationship with her husband and producer Martin Bergman as the source for many of her jokes. The two have been married since 1989, resulting in plenty of comedic fodder for Rudner to draw from. Her jokes aren't just amusing, they're truths about life with some of her own opinions thrown in for good measure.
"There's something wrong about cleavage before coffee," jokes Rudner in the show during her bit about some of the revealing waitress uniforms you'll see in Vegas regardless of the time of day.
A comedian, writer and actress, Rudner started her career in the entertainment industry as a dancer. Born in Miami, she left her home after graduating from high school at the age of 15 to pursue her dancing career in New York City. She has performed in multiple Broadway shows including the original productions of "Follies" and "Mack & Mabel."
While in her early twenties and performing in the Broadway production of "Annie," Rudner started to explore the comedy clubs in New York. She soon turned her talents from high kicks to hilarity by studying recordings of Jack Benny and Woody Allen. Rudner developed her own brand of witty humor and soon landed appearances in various television shows in the United States and internationally. She was also a frequent guest on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson."
Rudner went on to record several award-winning comedy specials including "Rita Rudner: Born to Be Mild" and "Rita Rudner Married Without Children." She's also the author of best-selling books including "I Still Have It; I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It" and "Naked Beneath My Clothes."
After performing to sold-out audiences across the globe, Rudner decided to make Vegas her permanent base in 2000. She has performed in multiple venues on the Strip and moved to Harrah's in September 2014.

O'Hare International Airport
Good morning beloved,
Can you hold tight in the midst of suffering? Can you see that there are blue skies beyond the gray clouds? A transforming experience in my life occurred on an airplane! Why? When we left O'Hare airport, it was raining. As I peered out my little window, all I could see was gray, overcast, yucky and depressing. Then the airplane climbed over the blanket of clouds and the beautiful sun shone brightly with blue skies. Underneath us a gray blanket…yet all around the sun blazed with clear radiance. If I had been standing on the ground, I never would have seen the treasure that lay beyond. Yet, it is there, my friends. Even though I don't see it, the radiance of the sun is there.
Hebrews 1:
2 [But] in [a]the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order].
3 He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the [b]out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himselfaccomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,
1 Peter 4:
12 Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling you.
13 But insofar as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, rejoice, so that when His glory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may also rejoice with triumph [exultantly].
14 If you are censured and suffer abuse [because you bear] the name of Christ, blessed [are you—happy, fortunate, [a]to be envied, [b]with life-joy, and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of your outward condition], because the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, is resting upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
Revelation 21:
22 I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Omnipotent [Himself] and the Lamb [Himself] are its temple.
23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it, for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 The nations shall walk by its light and the rulers and leaders of the earth shall bring into it their glory.
Beloved, we hold on because we know that this suffering is not the end. Pain, hard times remember the blessing. The Spirit of glory is resting upon you. Friends, think of it, in your suffering, He is glorified.
Ask Him to show His glory in your life. Ask Him to show you how you can live in the midst of your pain. When you lie awake at night, don't keep the focus on yourself. Ask the Lord to show you who needs prayer. Who needs to be lifted up. He will bring to your mind those who need your prayer.
Pray on, beloved. Pray on.

Like a surfer seeing a shark's fin in the distance, the Easton Mako II Hockey Stick will be sure to scare goalies the same way. Easton took an already proven stick to the next level with some key upgrades making this Mako II stick lighter, stronger and more responsive. The shaft is now constructed of their new Uni-Carbon System. This system provides the shaft with more strength, a decrease in overall weight and improved energy transfer by aligning the fibers in the same direction unlike other sticks on the market. The Easton Mako II has double concave sidewalls with square corners that works with the textured surface of the shaft and the grip coating to make for a solid and natural contouring hold.
The blade now has four internal ribs compared to last year's Mako that had just two internal ribs. With the additional two ribs, a stiffer and more durable blade was achieved while making it even lighter than before too! The Micro-bladder Process helps to keep a great puck feel by making the blade as consistent as possible, meanwhile a 3K carbon weave was wrapped around the entire blade in order to provide excellent responsiveness and durability.

Four Gators scored multiple goals to help lead No. 3 Florida lacrosse to a 17-7 win over UAlbany Sunday at Donald R. Dizney Stadium. The Gators improve to 6-0 with the win with help from leading scorer sophomore midfielder Shannon Gilroy (Northport, N.Y.), who recorded five goals and a career-high and UF single-game high eight draw controls in the effort.
Gilroy, senior attack Ashley Bruns (Ellicot City, Md.), senior attack Kitty Cullen (Rockville, Md.) and senior midfielder Brittany Dashiell all chipped in at least two goals apiece to help UF on the afternoon. Gilroy's eight draw controls bested her previous high of seven she recorded three times in her career. The eight draw controls also pushed her career total to 104, as she becomes the second Gator to record 100 in her career.
"She (Gilroy) dominated the draw and that's what she does," Head coach Amanda O'Leary said. "She is not only a threat on the draw but offensively. She has been getting better and better on those draws and at the beginning of the season she was hesitant going after ground balls but today she stayed with the ball and picked them up and got the momentum going for us."
Bruns recorded her second-straight game with four goals as she chipped in five points total for the afternoon. Cullen added a hat trick for the Gators while Dashiell found the back of the net twice in the win. Senior attack Caroline Chesterman (South Nyack, N.Y.) led with three ground balls on the afternoon as part of the Gators 21 ground balls on the day.
The Gators led the Great Danes in draw controls (21-4) and ground balls (21-17) on the afternoon, helping swing the offensive momentum into their favor. UF was also 3-for-5 on free position attempts with Dashiell going 2-for-2.
Florida took an early 3-0 lead with all three goals in a 1:30 span, started by Dashiell with her free position goal with 26:53 left in the first half followed by back-to-back goals from Gilroy. UAlbany's Rachel Bowles got them on the board on a free position shot at the 19:53 mark, but UF scored the next four goals en route to a 7-1 lead.
Bruns added back-to-back goals at 9:03 and 5:34 as UF would go on to score the final three of four goals in the first half, taking a 12-4 halftime lead. Albany was held the 14 shots on the day, seven in each half and were led by Bowles with four goals and Allie Phelan with two.
The teams exchanged goals to start the second half but Dashiell's free position shot put the Gators up 10 just four minutes into the half. Sophomore midfielders Nicole Graziano (Mendham, N.J.) and Nora Barry (Marcellus, N.Y.) along with freshman attack Lauren Lea (Elkridge, Md.) all scored a goal for the Gators. The Gators now improve to 2-0 all-time over the Great Danes and have a perfect 6-0 record against opponents in the American East Conference.
"I thought we came out and played really, really well," O'Leary said. "We got out to a really solid start and we went well over 50 percent shooting, which I know is one of the goals for our attack. I thought defensively we played very, very well and overall I'm just really pleased"
Florida is back in action on Saturday as it travels to Miami to take part in the Orange Bowl Classic with a meeting against rival No. 6 Syracuse at Sun Life Stadium. The Orangemen and Gators previously met in the NCAA Final Four, where SU won 14-13 in overtime. Opening draw is set for 5 p.m. on Sun Sports with Larry Vettel and M.C. McFadden on the call.

I smell discontent in the air.
Yes, my friends, an all important 41st vote against Health Care Travesty.
Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Obama's inauguration. Does anyone feel better off this year than the last?
I think foremost that this is a message to President Obama that despite ramming his health care down our throats, "It's the economy, stupid."
I just hope the Republican party doesn't mess it up by ramming their religious crap and moral proselytizing in public law down our throats.
Republicans are the party of less government. Live and let live.
Be the party of Ronald Reagan once more.
Republicans, get out of the bedroom and stop worry about gay marriage. Let them be. Again, it's the economy, stupid.
We want Wall Street banking bonuses subsidized by our tax paying dollars to stop.
We want tax AND SPEND cuts. We have to balance our checkbooks. So should Washington.
We do not want to leave our children and grandchildren a legacy of insurmountable debt to bail out the likes of Chrysler which will probably fail anyway.
We want terrorists treated like terrorists--not civilian criminals--and we want our government to do it's job and prevent such terrorists from reaching our soil despite terrorist's father's warnings and CIA intelligence.
Yes, the winds are changing. This mommy is hoping for a hurricane to come mid-term elections.

Bills "love" Beckham Jr., per report
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 6 2014 11:50AM
With the general consensus surrounding the Buffalo Bills and what they'll do with the ninth overall pick on Thursday being that they're likely to take offense, a plethora of players have already been linked to the franchise.
You've seen the names before: Sammy Watkins, Jadeveon Clowney, Jake Matthews, Mike Evans, Eric Ebron, Taylor Lewan, Zack Martin. Although he's been thought of
as a sleeper candidate
for the Bills in the past couple of weeks, LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. has been linked to the team by a national writer just a couple of days ahead of the draft.
In his mock draft attempt,
Sports Illustrated's Peter King
selected Michigan's Taylor Lewan for the Bills at ninth overall. However, it was in his commentary that the adoration for Beckham, Jr. was revealed.
"Keep in mind that GM Doug Whaley is very much open for business here, and could trade down and still get another guy they love: Odell Beckham."
- Peter King
For all the reasons that the Bills love Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins and the versatility that he can bring to the team on offense, Beckham, Jr. offers a similar reasoning for the fit but only on a lesser scale. Watkins is an elite prospect right now, whereas there is more projection to the LSU wideout's game at this point.
However, he has the speed, hands and explosion that the Bills would be looking for. Plus, they would be able to line him up both in the slot and on the outside as one of the Bills' main three targets. Would it likely mean the end of either Stevie Johnson or Mike Williams, at the latest, following the end of 2014 season?
Probably. But the hope for a player like Watkins or Beckham, Jr. would be for offensive coordinator to have weapons to move around enough to keep defenses on their toes. And, both players can turn a small reception into a big gain which could be extremely valuable in a primarily short throw, timing offense led by EJ Manuel.
King had Beckham, Jr. being selected at 15th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles, who traded with the Pittsburgh Steelers to move up and acquire the LSU wideout.

Regarded as one of the top Pitching Coaches in Major League Baseball, Ray Searage is in his sixth full season with the Pirates. He joined the Major League staff on October 17, 2009 and was named interim Pitching Coach on August 8, 2010 after Joe Kerrigan was relieved of his duties. Ray was o fficially named Pitching Coach on November 24, 2010. The 2016 season marks Searage's 39th in professional baseball and his 14th with the Pittsburgh organization. In 2015 Searage oversaw a Pittsburgh pitching staff that posted the second-lowest ERA (3.21) in Major League Baseball and the lowest mark by the Pirates since the 1984 team led the Majors with a 3.11 ERA. Over the last three seasons, the Pirates pitching sta has posted the second-lowest ERA (3.32) in the Major Leagues while also producing the second-highest win total (280). Searage was the guiding force behind Francisco Liriano being named Comeback Player-of-the-Year in 2013 as the lefthander went 16-8 with a 3.02 ERA in his first year with the Pirates after going 6-12 with a 5.34 ERA the previous season. Ray also worked with Edinson Volquez, who went 13-7 with a 3.04 ERA in 2014 after going 9-12 with a 5.71 ERA in 2013. Searage spent seven seasons as a Pitching Coach at various levels within the Pirates minor league system, most recently with Triple-A Indianapolis in 2008-2009. He also served in the same capacity with Double-A Altoona (2006-07), Class-A Hickory (2005) and Rookie League Williamsport (2003-2004). During his tenure with the Bucs, he also served as a coach during the Arizona Fall League in 2006 and again in 2008. In addition, he spent the 2009 offseason working as the Pitching Coach for Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League and did so again in 2010 until he was named Pitching Coach of the Bucs. Prior to joining the Pittsburgh organization, Ray spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons as the Florida Marlins Minor League Pitching Coordinator. He also served as Pitching Coach with Orlando (Devil Rays' AA) for three years prior to joining the Marlins. Searage began his coaching career in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league system, working as a Pitching Coach with Madison (1994), Peoria (1995-1996) and Prince William (1997). Originally selected by St. Louis in the 22nd round of the 1976 June draft, Searage made his Major League debut with the New York Mets on 6/11/81. Ray picked up his fi rst Major League win at Wrigley Field in Chicago while making his third career appearance on 8/11/81; in the same game he singled o ff Dick Tidrow in his first big league plate appearance. Later in the 1981 season, he earned his first save after nailing down a 5-3 Mets victory over the Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh on September 9. Searage pitched a total of seven big league seasons with the Mets (1981), Brewers (1984-86), White Sox (1986-87) and Dodgers (1989-90) and compiled an 11-13 record, 11 saves and a 3.50 ERA in 254 games (all in relief). He finished his professional pitching career with Edmonton (Angels' AAA) in 1992.
PERSONAL: Raymond Mark Searage...Wife's name is Vicki...Has three sons; Raymond II (10/16/80), Ryan (11/23/82) and Robbie (4/25/88)...Is a 1973 graduate of Deer Park High School on Long Island, NY...Played baseball, basketball and ran cross country while in high school...Also played baseball at West Liberty State College in West Virginia...Received the Chuck Tanner Memorial Award at the Chuck Tanner awards banquet in Pittsburgh this past November 14.

Skip to comments.Putin orders ban on adoptions by foreign same-sex couples report
Posted on 03/30/2013 5:17:17 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
President Putin is against the adoption of Russian orphans by foreign same-sex couples, Russian media reveal. The government and the Supreme Court have reportedly been requested to come up with amendments to the law by July 1.
Most likely the order will be fulfilled by the Ministry of Education and Science, which deals with issues concerning orphans and adoptions, according to Izvestia daily. But the ministry says it has not yet received instructions on the matter.
Tensions over the issue arose in mid-February, after the French National Assembly approved a sweeping bill to legalize gay marriage and allow same-sex couples to adopt children.
Soon after that childrens rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov vowed he would do everything possible to ensure that Russian orphans are only adopted by traditional, heterosexual families. He quoted a recent incident regarding Egor Shabatalov.
The boy was adopted by an American woman, who lived in a same-sex marriage with another US citizen. However, she concealed her relationship from Russian authorities when she filed the adoption request.
Two years after adopting the boy, the couple split and started a legal dispute over parental rights. Such a relationship is rather questionable from the point of view of morality and the child got drawn into this row, observed Russian Foreign Ministry's Commissioner for Human Rights Konstantin Dolgov. Now the Ministry is set to look into possible psychological damage inflicted on the boy....

>>So an oligarchical former KGB officer is more moral than Mr. Obama, the RINOs and the Democrats?
Yes, he is! Or course, a lizard is more moral than Comrade Obama. And smarter.
He has saved Russian children from a sickening fate.
Maybe GWB was right about Putin after all— looking in his eyes to see his soul. Ahhh not really— Putie-Pute is a snake in other ways.
Rule Number 1: No poofskis.
> Putie-Pute is a snake in other ways.
From an Americanist perspective, yeah.
But he's 100% Russian, and 100% pro-Russian.
Unlike our Ayatoilet Hussein 0bamao, who is an alien and 100% anti-American.
Don't liberals always say we need to look at other nations to know how to run our country?
Preach it, Brother!
I know he's no saint. But I get more respect for his good side by the day. And he seems to have a really large good side. Too bad about the size of his 'mot good' side. But even with it, Putin is more 'American' that Obama in any measurable way.
Edit: 'NOT' good side
Yeah, in some ways, Vlad grows on ya.
I am liking Putin more and more as time goes by. He would not work well in America, but then the current puke in the White House doesn't go well with America either.
Good for him!
yes yes!!!
Putin is 100% man, and ODumbo is 100% girley.
The thing with VP is you KNOW what you are getting/dealing with. It's like dealing with the mafia. Perhaps literally in Vlad's case. But you can work with that. There is a method to their madness. Might not like it or support it, but it can be dealt with.
Libs? Random positions at random times with no logic or reason guiding any of it. Just emotion of the moment. The only thing you know for sure with Obama and the libs is they will invariably F up whatever is on the table. For them, for you, for ever.
Sounds like Putin has more brains than B.O.
Both parts of your analysis are spot on. Vlad is Vlad. His motivations are set, defined, and focused. The Regressives ("Libs") have all the focus and clarity of though of a toddler on a sugar high.
Your statement reminds me of the photo of Obama reactine to a martail arts demonstration (the one in which Obummer whices in a most effiminate manner).
reactine = Reaction
martail = martial
For a lib. history/reality/facts etc begin the moment they wake up every day. Today is one thing/set, tomorrow is a blank slate and nothing existed before it. Surely nothing any of them said. Unless it can be bent to advantage. Then 'that' history is inviolate. There is no way to deal with that in any way. It's an ever-moving target.
Vlad's KGB sympathies/approaches are a known thing with established methods to deal. And while the Soviets erased some history of their own, we know why. With libs, 'why' is jello. I'll gladly take 1000 of VP over one Zero. As President of the US.

They've been on the rocks for a long time.
Was it the twerking that did them in?
Or the texting?
Miley Cyrus, 20, and Liam Hemsworth, 23, have ended their relationship and called off their engagement, reps for both stars have confirmed for USA TODAY.
The buzz has long been brewing, but now it's official.
E! News reports that the split was "Miley's decision, after coming to grips with Liam being what she believed was less than faithful to her."
People.com says the two have been "living separate lives."
The couple – who met on the movie set of 2010's The Last Song – got engaged in May 2012. But there has been buzz for months that the relationship was on the rocks. In April, rumors surfaced that the wedding had been postponed.
Over the weekend, he was spotted at the Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez super welterweight title fight in Las Vegas, while she was busy unfollowing him on Twitter.
All of it comes amid an Us Weekly report that Hemsworth was texting January Jones, with whom he had been linked at an Oscar party in March. His rep called that report a "fabrication."
Meanwhile, Life & Stylehas a new story linking him to Mexican actress and singer Eiza Gonzalez on Sunday night at a Vegas nightclub.
After months of rumors and speculation, reps for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth confirm the pair has officially called off their engagement. What happened? VPC

Last night we noticed some dripping from our kitchen ceiling, which is directly under our upstairs bathroom. The leak lasted a few minutes (about 5-6 minutes) and consisted of some dripping water from 3 celotex tiles. This occurred about 3 hours after I took a shower. Flushing our upstairs bathroom and letting water go down our bathtub drain does not produce a leak. Our home was built around World War I - and the tub is original - the shower pipes were replaced about 15 years ago - what is your best advice? Thaks. Ann Rychlenski

Huntington Elementary School flies the American Flag proudly day in and day out. This old and faithful flag was showing its wear from many years of service. The students raise the flag each morning at the beginning of school and take it down before the bell rings in the afternoon. Principal Tom Baltzer decided the time had come for the old flag to be retired and a new flag to be raised in its place.
Cub Scouts and their leaders from Pack 903 and pack 304 were asked to help with the retirement ceremony. The scouts presented some facts on flags and a story was read on the proper way to retire a flag. The scouts cut the flag into equal pieces and then it was placed into the fire to be burned. After the fire was extinquished the ashes were buried in a flower bed by the school.
Bruce Clement played taps on the bugle for the retiring flag. The new flag was then hoisted up the flag pole by the scouts as the entire school witnessed the solemn occasion.

Husband and Family,
February 23, 2012
Thank you to all who have committed to pray with me this prayer. I know my God works in his time and not mine, and that just because I have not seen a change in my situation doesn't mean he has not set in place his perfect plan for my family and marriage in accordance to his will. My husband is lost and needs to know the goodness of God's mercy, and the power he holds. Please continue to pray this prayer with me daily. Lord you have said to call upon you in the day of trouble and you will deliver us. I call upon you now and ask that would would work deliverance and salvation into my husbands life and restoration of my marriage. Lord, I cannot do this alone, work through me, and restore my faith when I find weakness coming on. Deliver Craig from anything that binds him. Set him free from the controlling hold his Dad has over him. Deliver him quickly and be a rock of refuge and fortress of defense to save him. Lift him away from the hands of the enemy.Bring him to a place of understanding where he recognizes the work of evil and can cry to you for help.give him the certainty that in his most hopeless state when he finds it impossible to change anything, you can change everything. Help him to understand that we don't wrestle against flesh and blood but against powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. I pray that Craig will be strong in the Lord, and stand Against the wiles of the devil in this evil day. Father let him make decisions according to your ways, and not the ways of those who hold selfish intent for him. I pray that you place humility and forgiveness in his heart. Lord work your transforming powers into our marriage, and remove the strongholds against it. Lord I pray that Wiley will be convicted in his ways, and that you will speak kindness and love against his heart of stone, that he may learn to love Craig for the wonderful person he is and not for the conditions he places upon their relationship. Let there be respect for Craig and his decisions, especially when they are according to your ways. Show me how to pray for Craig and his father Wiley while I wait on you. It is in your name that I pray this prayer, amen ( thank you for any words of encouragement)

Almost anyone can enjoy one of our jet boating, canoeing or kayaking adventures on the Whanganui River with its majestic gorges, rock formations, majestic roaring waterfalls and lush green bush. Our customers have included families, beginner paddlers, experienced paddlers, people well over retirement age and more adventurous paddlers. We also cater to large volunteer organization groups, and large family groups.
Many have never canoed, rafted or camped before but thoroughly enjoy their canoeing or kayaking trip and find it well within their capabilities.
Careful instruction and training is provided. Your safety comfort and enjoyment is our main priority and we have a range of equipment and canoes to suit every one. The emphasis is on relaxation and fun, all in a unique setting.
We will then give you a safety briefing which shows you the camp sites, we talk about how to read the river, and navigate your way through the rapids. You will then take with you a water proof map case with information in it to help you along the way as well.
Once you have had the safety briefing you will pack your barrels and dry bags ready to go into your Canoe/Kayak of choice.
We then depart for the river where the we will show you how to paddle, the different strokes to use and how to safely pack your canoe. If you have chosen the 1 or 5 day journey, you can then practice on the rapid at our boat ramp. If you have chosen the 2 or 3 day journey you can practice at both of those entry points as well and once you feel confident and we have seen you paddle, you then will depart for your intended journey secure in the knowledge that you have been given the tools to embark on your journey both safely but having the ultimate time of your life as well.
On the final day of your journey we will meet you at the boat ramp with home baking and either a hot or cold drink (depending on the weather) to make the end of your journey finish just perfectly.
We then transport you back to our base in the comfort of our air conditioned bus for larger groups or minivans for the smaller groups.
You can then choose what to do next, have a shower, another coffee, stay another night, enjoy the magnificent views while you debrief, or simply pack your vehicles ready to go home or to embark on another adventure, all the while planning your next unforgettable journey with us.
It is our mission is to serve you in whichever way we can to make your journey the most memorable one you possibly can have.
You don't have to have great levels of fitness to do this journey however there will be a maximum of 7 hours paddling per day. You can choose to take more days to do the journey if you choose, this will mean that you don't need to paddle so many hours per day.
We have a high level of safety procedures therefore we don't put a single person in the river alone. What we will do for you is find another group for you to fit in with so that you will have the safety and security that if something was to go wrong on the river, that there would be people there to help you.
We also hire out our Briefing/Conference room and mattresses for larger groups, so that you can pack and all be together on the night before you journey.
There is a BBQ on site for your cooking use and many different areas you can spread out in while enjoying the most magnificent views of Mt Hikurangi, the Whanganui River and lovely gardens.
Below our Base on the edge of the river, we have a lovely camping spot and a fire pit where you can toast marshmallows, sing songs and meet other travelers embarking on the same journey as you are. You are most welcome to tent there or bring you camper van to sleep in.

The Greek Community of Price and surrounding area held their annual Greek Festival at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 61 South 200 East in Price on July, 11-12. The main features of the festival are the best Greek dinners, homemade pastries, Greek music and dances.
Most Greek Festivals are organized by the Greek Orthodox Church which is the cultural center of the Greek Community. In cities where there is a large Greek population a Greek Festival is usually held once a year, consisting of Greek food and dancers dressed in traditional Greek clothing.
Vendors set up in booths near the dance floor, where they sell trinkets like golden bracelets and other Greek souvenirs.
The Greek dancers put on several shows during the festival, illustrating different Greek cultural dances from the various parts of Greece. Several of the dance troupes came from Salt Lake City and other Greek Communities in the United States to entertain the festival attendees. The dancers were colorfully dressed in costumes trimmed in gold, white, red, and black.
The minister of this Greek Orthodox Church offered tours of the church building, where a visitor could learn the history of the Greeks leaving Greece, coming to Utah and what they did in the coal mines in addition to the history of businesses started and owned by Greeks in Utah. The icons on display and the furnishings within the cathedral are worthwhile to see.
At the festival the assortment of Greek foods available for enjoyment was outstanding. Some of the names of food may be familiar, such as the gyro which is slices of meat served in a fried piece of pita bread, rolled up with salads and sauces. Sometimes this sandwich is called souvlaki.
The Greek salad mixed in a pan with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, black olives, olive oil, vinegar and topped off with feta cheese is a delight to the taste buds. There may have even been some grape leaves included.
The pieces of pork coated with a spicy combination of seasoning on a wooden skewer was very tasty. Stuffed grape leaves and pastries made with grape leaves cooked inside were worth trying.
Olive oil is used in many of the foods presented to the public at the Greek Festival.
Greek baklava is a desert of Turkish origin, a pastry made of many layers of paper-thin dough filled with ground nuts, baked and then drenched in honey. Turkey once ruled Greece for many years until the Greek war of independence. If you missed the Greek Festival this year, you missed an exciting event.

A hearty south-of-the border-inspired vegetarian dish made with tortillas, corn, black beans, kidney beans, cheddar cheese and more!
If you want to make this a non-vegetarian meal, add some cooked ground turkey, beef or chicken to the layers.
This is a great vehicle to sneak more vegetables into your children's diet. Add grated zucchini, chopped tomatoes or any vegetables you have around. They'll never know.
