Jen Rogers scored four goals in her collegiate debut, leading the No. 16 Hutchinson Community College soccer team to a 7-1 win Sunday in the season opener at Kansas City.
Rogers, a freshman from Liverpool, England, didn't miss on any of her four shots on goal.
"Jen is very clinical in front of the goal," HCC coach Sammy Lane said. "If she gets the chance she's probably going to score. She does not miss at all. She had four chances and she scored all four chances."
Rogers opened the scoring in the fifth minute, finishing a corner kick sent in by Ashley Johnson. Madison Holmes gave the Blue Dragons a 2-0 lead by converting a penalty kick in the 26th minute, Melissa Zapata scored four minutes later, and Rogers' second goal in the 30th minute gave Hutchinson a 4-0 halftime lead.
"The first half, we were a bit lethargic," Lane said. "We weren't moving the ball as well as we could. We started to wear them down in the second half and took advantage of the space. We created way more chances in the second half even though we didn't score as many."
Rogers completed her hat trick in the 61st minute and scored again in the 75th minute. Siobhon Wilson completed the scoring in the 84th minute.
Hutchinson will play its first home game at 4 p.m. Wednesday against Garden City.
First half: 1. Hutchinson, Jen Rogers (Ashley Johnson), 5th minute; 2. Hutchinson, Madison Holmes (penalty kick), 26th minute; 3. Hutchinosn, Melissa Zapata (Phoebe Eshen), 30th minute; 4. Hutchinson, Rogers (unassisted), 31st minute
Second half: 5. Hutchinson, Rogers (Courtney Gahagen), 61st minute; 6. Rogers (Gahagen), 75th minute; 7. Hutchinson, Siobhon Wilson (Eshen), 84th minute; 8. Kansas City, Dania Gomez (unassisted), 87th minute.

This is a good analogy in the difference between windows and linux, linked to my last post.
Linux isNOT Windows: "Look at it this way: Step outside and take a look at all the different vehicles driving along the road. These are all vehicles designed with more or less the same purpose: To get you from A to B via the roads. Note the variety in designs.
But, you may be thinking, car differences are really quite minor: they all have a steering wheel, foot-pedal controls, a gear stick, a handbrake, windows & doors, a petrol tank. . . If you can drive one car, you can drive any car!
Quite true. But did you not see that some people weren't driving cars, but were riding motorbikes instead. . ?
Switching from one version of Windows to another is like switching from one car to another. Win95 to Win98, I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Win98 to WinXP, it was a bigger change but really nothing major.
But switching from Windows to Linux is like switching from a car to a motorbike. They may both be OSes/road vehicles. They may both use the same hardware/roads. They may both provide an environment for you to run applications/transport you from A to B. But they use fundamentally different approaches to do so.
Windows/cars are not safe from viruses/theft unless you install an antivirus/lock the doors. Linux/motorbikes don't have viruses/doors, so are perfectly safe without you having to install an antivirus/lock any doors.
Or look at it the other way round:"

Life Coach
I work with people who want to get from point A to point B in every area of life.When there is a rock blocking the path we look deeper into that unknown place and discover what is in the way clearing the path to your destination.
Believe it! Coach is knowing that it is simply a belief that stands between you and your desires. The beauty of this work is that it is so simple it amazes people when they finally see the limiting beliefs that created the boulder in the path and it is now a pebble easy to kick aside!

Dr Subbanna is amazing. She made my kids feel calm and comfortable with the freezing. She even sang to them.
Love them never have a bad experience there always helpful and very friendly staff thanks for everything you do for us
My daughter has bad anxiety when it comes to the dentist. There new pediatric dentist Dr Suddanna. She was absolutely amazing. I have never experienced a dentist who would sing to the patient to calm them down. She also rub my daughters arm gently calming her. She also called me the very next day asking how my daughter was as a follow up. I would recommend anyone to go and visit with Dr Suddanna. The best dentist ever. Thank you so much for everything you you did for my daughter.
Staff was wonderful with my autistic son and did everything they could to make him feel comfortable. Bringing my toddler there today too.
My spouse has his wisdom teeth done here... (in short notice) because of an impacting tooth.
Dr. Philip and his team are great. The place is BUSY, but they are certainly attuned to individual needs and the treatment is top-notch. The fact that he has all sorts of sedation for different needs is a definite plus for anxious patients. Just speaking to him makes it obvious the type of high-functioning brain you are dealing with.
My son slipped in the tub and chipped his tooth. They did a great job repairing the tooth. I thought the staff were pretty decent to deal with.
The staff here are wonderful and very friendly and take care of their patients they are very nice people who know what they are doing. Very satisfied with my last visit.

"Violence is the last refuse of the Incompetent."
-Isaac Asimov-
In the time that I have lived in America, the two greatest destructive forces [worldviews and or belief systems] are that human-beings can be like God thus denying the existence of God and racial supremacy. America is deeply in need of moral and spiritual cleansing. Just how can this come about?
Publically Acknowledge and Apologized for Slavery
Every person in our country to date is a byproduct of one of the most horrific international and domestic terroristic acts in history, the slave-trade of African people. Both the perpetrators and victims are forever connected in the multifaceted dysfunction that until now is now being analyzed clinically. I will resist the notion to go into details of what is now an actual clinical diagnosis [post-traumatic slave syndrome], see this link below to learn about Dr. Joy DeGruy work on this subject.
To the credit of some states attempt to renounce the painful history of our past, there remain groups of people who have a vested interest in the racial ideology of yesteryear. Each American, each public official, each institution, each kingdom and or system that has profited from the immoral institution of slavery must publically acknowledge and apologize for slavery. Any form of racial supremacy that is practice publicly must be renounced and condemned. Such actions and beliefs are the manifestations of human evil.
Hamas or violence is historically referring to actions and or negative thought/feelings of the human will. Many of which are motivated by the following [but not limited to]:
- Arrogance
- Selfishness
- Vindictiveness
- Fear
Those who practice these inclinations are within the larger scope of our culture are considered wicked and thus are law breakers. The perpetrators of violence are the wicked whose behaviors are destructive and life-threatening to the innocent. Such evil activity is linked to their arrogance and disregard for God.
I pray that those of us who fear God will collectively join others and myself in praying that souls who live in America, will pray that the will of God prevails over the wills of man. When you need answers when evil and violence run amok, read the entire Psalm 10.
We who fear God are praying that God will,
Arise, lift up Thy Hand. Do not forget the afflicted.
The Lord is King forever and ever;
Nations have perished from His Land.
O Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble;
Thou wilt strengthen their heart,
Thou wilt incline Thine ear,
To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
That man who is of the earth may cause terror no more.
Psalm 10
Grace and Peace
Alonzo E. Thornton

A HOSPITAL revamp will go ahead as planned in the next financial year – but campaigners want to know how much money will be spent on it.
Aberconwy AM Gareth Jones said the improvements at Llandudno General Hospital are part of a £105m capital investment for Wales in health, education and recycling.
He said the capital funding will strengthen the hospital's existing "core medical services" but also bring in new additional medical services. Work has started on Marl Ward for rheumatology patients.
But Llandudno Hospital Action Group (LHAG) campaigners want to know how much of the cash will be spent on the unit and where.
Plaid AM for Aberconwy Mr Jones said: "I am delighted this important project is to proceed as planned to the next stage of business case approvals in the new financial year."
Betsi Cadwaladwr University Health Board (BCUHB), which runs the unit, said a £48m "strategy" for its future was completed in December. It covered an expansion of 'core' services for the local catchment population – such as improving the Minor Injury Unit facility and expanding the outpatient department – as well as the development of more specialist services for a wider catchment population, to include the development of a Women's Centre.
A BCUHB spokesman said: "Following the production of the strategy work to develop business cases will commence in the next few months, which will then be submitted to WAG for funding against the All Wales capital programme."
Carol Marubbi, of LHAG, said: "The £48m is supposed to be spent on enhancing the whole hospital. Let's hope it is."
She added: "We were originally told Marl Ward would be for rheumatology and orthopaedics then that there was no intention to use it for rheumatology and orthopaedics. If it's now happening that is brilliant but we will be making sure it is implemented. Whether they have changed their minds because we (LHAG) are onto it I don't know. I feel sorry for the people who have to work at the hospital. People are worried about their jobs and whether they will be redeployed."
And Conwy Cllr Linda Groom, of LHAG, said: "We want to see that the work is completed. We are keeping an eye on it."

Yesterday Jersey had a hankering to get out and move. I told him that was fine...and then went right back to writing and watching chick flicks...that is until I looked up and saw the puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, you want me to go with?!"
Yeah...so we put on our gear and headed to a nearby blacktop. It's been such a long time since I've touched a basketball. I'm a bit scarred really. In Jr. High I went to a basketball camp because I wanted to be just like Shaq. I got there and worked my ass off, but at the end of the camp it was still just about the pretty popular girls whose parents were cool with the coaches.
So I never played again.
Then I met Jersey and he's big time into playing. He used to play overseas actually. All that to say he plays a lot and he drags me into it a lot. He's at least encouraging and chases my wonky balls.
It was a good first workout that's for sure. I haven't sweated in over a month...It was smart that I got out there moving in a non-traditional way...because if I would have started on a treadmill I would have killed over like one of those scared little goats.

"YMCA"--Village People
The outrageous spirit of the era, embodied in a silly dance song with its own silly dance. The two key components of disco: pulse and sleaze. So fun, not even abuse by lazy spoof artists can extinguish its charms.
"Boogie Fever"--The Sylvers
This act made much better music, but hey, James Jamerson just showed up and he brought pizza!
"Boogie Oogie Oogie"--A Taste of Honey
Get up and. Sweeter than a double dose of honey wine. Two chicks rocking guit-fiddles, whoa, what?
*record scratch*
*double-take pigeon*
Groovy, quite. Do not ask her name--just dance.
"Disco Lady"--Johnnie Taylor
A cultural landmark--the first number one hit with "disco" in the title. "Oughta be on Soul Train"--unf, that's the panty-dropper right there.
There's a danger in attaching too much bait to the hook; no fish will be fooled at the sight of so much temptation in one place.
"You Sexy Thing"--Hot Chocolate
I'll have a six-pack of vibrato to go, please. Hasn't aged as well as agenda-driven editing suggests.
"Fly, Robin, Fly"--Silver Convention
I'll have a six-pack of words for here, please. The first German act to nab a number one in the States, and a proven guilty pleasure. Blame it on the bass, I guess. Why the robin, though? A decent bird. A muted Baltimore Oriole, if I'm being honest, but at least they don't attack cardinals. Unlike some other, more colorful birds I could name....
"(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty"--KC & The Sunshine Band
Party starter, party pusher, over here there and everywhere. Put your treasure chest in the air and wave it like you kinda sorta care. I get it, Time Life; "Get Down Tonight" would have made every other butt-bumper on the collection sound like Requiem Mass in D Minor in comparison.
"More, More, More"--Andrea True Connection
Crazy to think Linda Lovelace could have maybe had Helen Reddy's career. Given Andrea's claim to fame, no surprise how stiff her single hit sounds, from her delivery to the brass to that vaunted piano breakdown. The rare song structured pre-pre-chorus, pre-chorus and chorus.
"If I Can't Have You"--Yvonne Elliman
A stunner from one of the most important albums of the decade. Love me, love this song. The bros Gibb had the knack for dance-floor dramatics that stopped just short of ridiculous, insuring their tunes turned out timeless. Funny, it's the vocal tracks that pushed me into love, and for years I had no clue it was even the culprit! I blamed the string arrangement for a long time.
"Le Freak"--Chic
Need I tell you the legend of Chic? No, I need not, for I trust that if you are not already aware, you will sooner than later take the initiative to confirm it for yourself. Just don't blame me when you get lost in the rabbit hole.
I don't know if people in the 70s--listeners or critics--were willing to recognize that dance/disco music was producing true classic material. Between the best of Chic, the Donna Summer/Giorgio Moroder juggernaut and the Bee Gees' takeover during the last few years of the decade, the genre's detractors seem less like traditionalists concerned for the integrity of the art form and more like grouches with no rhythm.
"Rock Your Baby"--George McRae
The genre wasn't always at its best, but listeners didn't really seem to mind, so long as the groove persisted. This sounds like mashed potatoes in search of gravy.
"Ring My Bell"--Anita Ward
The sins of the drums are absolved by the right deeds of the guitar. I'm begging for an itch to scratch.
"I Just Want To Be Your Everything"--Andy Gibb
Everything here flows, freshness to freshness. The path is a bit too straight,; I would have preferred "Shadow Dancing" here, one of the finest concoctions to escape the Lab Gibb.
"Rock the Boat"--Hues Corporation
Nearly as fun as swimming on concrete. Suck on with yo' bad self.
"Turn the Beat Around"--Vicki Sue Robinson
When a person becomes ensnared in the music, poetry tends not to result. The ideal is to not to stink up the joint like fish in the net would. But holy mackerel, that percussion--so busy, so vibrant--leaves my brains scrambled with a drizzling of Texas Pete. Killing me none too softly.
"The Streak"--Ray Stevens
In 1973, Time magazine reported on the campus craze known as "streaking." On a bet, a dare, or as a form of protest, naked students would run around the halls or on the field during athletic events. This was not a recent fad, of course, but calling it "streaking" was. It soon went beyond colleges. The easily-pleased were content to run around their neighborhood at night. Fanny-flashers with big dreams saved it for sporting events, and even to this day people are willing to be forever known as sex offenders just to run butt-ass naked in front of thousands.
Stupid as all hell. So if someone was going to write a stupid song about a stupid activity, it had to be the author of "Guitarzan" and "Cletus McHicks and His Band From the Sticks." I was amused by this a child. I also found Full House funny. Ray Stevens is basically the male cast of Full House in one guy.
"Gonna Fly Now"--Bill Conti
A vehicle to victory for the universal underdog. Conti works the hook like a speed bag. I wish you luck in making it through more than five seconds without imagining yourself standing in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
"Indian Reservation"--Paul Revere and the Raiders
If you've never heard "Indian Reservation," you are automatically a better person than me.
"The Candy Man"--Sammy Davis, Jr.
Not better than the version from Willy Wonka, but pay dirt takes flight regardless. The best song about a drug dealer not sung by Curtis Mayfield. People gorging themselves with Pop Rocks, Sugar Daddys, Laffy Taffy and Now and Laters made room.
"Disco Duck"--Rick Dees
The last novelty song to reach the apex of the Hot 100. Clearly, "Disco Duck" killed the population's patience for aural knickknacks. A bit like the "Boss Fight" tune in the NES Ninja Gaiden, with far more quacking. Dees, being a DJ from Memphis and not a singer from Memphis, shows a fondness for elongating syllables--one of the many cheap tricks of the not-singer. Gimme DJ Paul any day.
"Happy Days"--Pratt & McClain
Imagine a crinkle boot stomping on a human face--forever.
"I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing"--The New Seekers
First it was "the Coke song," then it was "the Mad Men song." Never has it been "the New Seekers song," but never was that the point. A greater understanding of interconnectivity and advancement was the point. You can't eliminate homelessness, vanquish hatred, wipe out famine, preserve nature or destroy the weapons of war, but you can crack open a soda and think on how great the planet would be if you could do that pull off even one of those feats.
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight"--Robert John
Everyone knows about "the mighty jungle," but who recalls the "peaceful village"? That's why we need to learn to sing!
"Kung Fu Fighting"--Carl Douglas
Tis better to dance the Kung Fu than to fight it. Tis best of all to not follow up your novelty song with another novelty song about the same damn topic, but I guess Carl's manager was also his favorite uncle. How many kids spent their idle time at the bus stop practicing their "moves," filling the air with "hai!" and "hah!" until even their own fathers wanted to see them run over by a runaway pimpmobile?
"The Rapper"--The Jaggerz
Folksy cautionary tale about a slick-talking professor of Suave Prick 101. Surely he didn't bat a thousand. Certainly he was on the unfortunate end of a nut-shot or two. There must be women in the world sufficiently savvy to just ignore the guy. But thanks for the heads up, Jaggerz. That "z" is so 90s. (Worse fashion statement--JNCO jeans or platform shoes? Only one can cause physical as well as mental anguish! That has to count for something....)
"Put Your Hand in the Hand"--Ocean
Just one of several Canadian acts on Pop Goes the 70s, but the only overtly gospel track. Cutesy on the surface, but touches on the stone upon which any good religion is built--shame. Mother may I not care about this song beyond the drum break?
"Billy Don't Be A Hero"--Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods
Originally recorded by Paper Lace. Someone else's life flashed in front of my eyes the last time I heard this.
"Hooked on a Feeling"--Blue Swede
A cover. All these white Swedes did was cover songs! Pop culture needs to let this dog die in the alley already. Stop taking it home and nursing it back to relative good health. That "ooga-chucka" stuff is the factual worst. Inserting it into your commercial is the most effective way to assure I will never purchase your product and may, in fact, actively root for its failure. I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but I'm 77% sure that Blue Swede were created out of uranium, tapioca pudding, and the stray hairs of ABBA.
"The Cover of Rolling Stone"--Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
A largely-listenable parody positing the Show as pill-popping, blow-snorting, Guru-consulting, groupie-banging bards in the Keatsian tradition. "Largely," since they left in one of the messiest abortions of an electric guitar part I've ever heard.
The happy ending is that the band did indeed make the cover...in caricature. Yeesh.
"Don't Give Up On Us"--David Soul
Do give up. Tap out with both hands.
David Solberg was actually a folkie before landing his iconic role on Starsky and Hutch, but only eighteen people knew that, and none of them were American, so he remains a novelty. When you're starving, you don't care that the broth is tasteless and the noodles are overcooked. That's why it's important to keep your ears well-fed.
"The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia"--Vicki Lawrence
The timeline here is all futzy. Not to mention the morals. I can understand little sister blowing away her bro's errant spouse, but why'd she let him go down for a crime he didn't commit? Speaking of...his sentencing and execution are pretty damn speedy even by the standards of Down South corruption.
Some listeners were upset at the perceived exploitation of Southern stereotypes, but sometimes you can't tell a story without running the risk of feeding someone's prejudices. Screw it, tell a story anyway.
"Spiders and Snakes"--Jim Stafford
"Crocodile Rock" without the "rocodile." Was that Stafford's natural accent, or an affectation? Either is unpleasant, but only one is excusable. The music grooves like swamp life in heat, but the lyrics are putrid.
"Life is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)"--Reunion
Voiced by Joey Levine (the copper throat behind "Yummy Yummy Yummy"), this right here is Namedrop City, the original city built on rock 'n' roll. "We Didn't Start the Fire" for people who don't care about world history, "Life is a Rock" would have benefited from a vocalist who didn't sound like Bruno Kirby after a helium hit. (But not as much as we all would have benefited from never existing.)
"Sam's cookin'." Garrruuuuhhh. "Carly Simon, I behold her." Buuleeeuuugghhhaaarrr!

Elizabeth Lauren Cutshaw's night of birthday celebrations ended abruptly when she, in her own words, "messed up her whole life."
Thinking her privilege and presence might remedy her lawlessness, after Cutshaw was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence, she begged South Carolina's finest not to haul her down to the station. "I'm a pretty girl, please, don't make me go," she said — a plea Bluffton officers rejected.
Later, at the precinct, police officer Baker Odom wrote in his report, Cutshaw went further. She said she was also a "thoroughbred" and "white, clean girl," Odom wrote. When he asked what that meant, Cutshaw replied, "You're a cop, you should know what that means based on the people that come in this room," according to the report.
The soon-to-be 33-year-old real estate agent was stopped Sunday about 1:45 a.m. after she ignored a stop sign and sped her white Ford Fusion through a four-way intersection, according to police paperwork obtained by The Washington Post. Little more than a block from the Bluffton Room, a local fine-dining spot where Cutshaw admitted to having two glasses of wine, the car was moving at more than double the 30-mile-per-hour limit.
As soon as Odom pulled Cutshaw over, he observed the hallmark signs of intoxication: bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, a strong odor of alcohol. A breath test calculated her blood alcohol level at 0.18 percent, higher than the state's legal limit, according to Bluffton police. Officers also recovered marijuana and rolling papers from inside the Ford.
Cutshaw was handcuffed and placed in the rear of the police cruiser, where two police dash-cam videos picked up 20 minutes of inebriated imploration about why the officers should not arrest her. Between sobs and apologies, she explained: She had no criminal record, graduated with honors from an accredited university, and was a sorority sister, cheerleader and member of the National Honor Society.
"Making statements such as these as a means to justify not being arrested are unusual in my experience as a law enforcement officer and I believe further demonstrate the suspect's level of intoxication," Odom wrote in his report.
Based on the officer eyewitness accounts and her admissions, Cutshaw, who could not be reached for comment, was jailed; she faces charges including driving under the influence, speeding and possession of marijuana .
Located near Savannah, Ga., Bluffton's 20,000-person population is 75 percent white, according to 2017 census data.

Dear Latter-day Saint,
Welcome to my pages! I am a wife, mother, and grandma who has other pages on the internet relating to Mormon Doctrines. (See below) I've gotten a number of E-mail responses from hurting Mormons, and by that I mean LDS who have become disillusioned and/or hurt for various reasons in their religious experience.
I know the word love has been cheapened by overuse. Perhaps what I want to convey, more precisely, is a heartfelt sympathy and a bit of hope in spite of what such people have gone through (and ultimately, some info I believe they desperately need to hear). I hurt for and with some of you who write me, and believe in my heart that for some of you at least, the "bad stuff" you've gone through is going to be a stepping stone to something good! I believe that there is life beyond Mormonism. I believe that seeing the dark side of Mormonism is a step toward searching for the true light.
One man who wrote me said his wife had a nervous breakdown shortly after realizing she just couldn't do and be all the LDS church expected of her, though she really tried. Another woman told me the same thing years ago. I pray for these people (the 2nd woman has totally recovered now, and found a vital relationship with Christ). And I KNOW that they are representative of many others who are finding out the same thing -- it's just plain impossible . I want such people to know for a certainty that the problem is not with your ability - the problem is with the system itself! Mormonism's requirements are both unrealistic and unbiblical in the overall context of the new testament. (More on this in my other pages; see below.) Please know that you are not the first to feel inadequate for the task. Many before you (there are lots of 'Jack-Mormons') have gone through this painful struggle and finally realized it wasn't their fault! Don't blame yourself if you can't be perfect (see I John 1:7-9)! Yes, it was a command of Christ, but the rest of the story is that the only Biblical way to fulfill this requirement is what is described in Hebrews 10:10-14, and Romans 4 - we must accept Christ's imputed righteousness by faith so God can give us a declared righteousness by grace. Our own imperfect attempts at righteousness will never work (Romans 3:10,23, Titus 3:5).
I pray that your painful experience will be the stepping stone to lead you to Christ's forgiveness by his grace (Eph. 2:8-10, Rom. 3:24, 5:1) If you are "heavy laden" with the impossible demands of the laws and ordinances of Mormonism, Christ says to you, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (rest unto your souls). Matt. 11:28-30 Think about that! Soul rest!
Some of you who have written have been let down by leadership in various ways. One lady had a patriarchal blessing fail - the pregnancy which was supposed to go full term and live, miscarried and died. To such people I say, maybe God wants to push you into a willingness to obey two of his commands that most all LDS ignore: "Beware of false prophets" and "test the spirits". God never said to check your brains at the door. It is NOT wrong to question!
Some have asked questions and not gotten real answers. Some have about decided the WHOLE religious scene is a farce. To such people I say, don't throw out the baby with the bathwater . Don't deny God himself because of hypocrites, false teachers, false doctrines or false churches. Doesn't your heart tell you He really IS there?
YES, be skeptical. I don't blame you a bit. You've been stung once. I know you've been taught to doubt the Bible in some ways, but before you discard it along with the other 'revelations', ask me some hard questions.... what if you have been lied to about the Bible's trustworthiness as well as those other things? I believe that that IS the case! I have seen the lists of so-called Bible contradictions, and have answered them, time and again in correspondence. Click here for more about Bible errors, contradictions, etc. I can assure you there IS a source of truth. I can assure you, there IS genuine spiritual life outside of Mormonism. Don't let your search end before you find out the WHOLE truth!
Many of you have become bitter because of hypocrisy you have seen or experienced. I've been a member of Baptist churches for over 30 years. Of course every barrel can get a rotten apple or two in it, but the vast majority of the people I have lived with, worshipped with and observed in those years are 7-day-a-week Christians. Some have followed sacrificially and shown a Christ-like spirit in spite of tribulations galore! Sure, there are hypocrites here and there...just as counterfeit money exists. But it wouldn't exist if it didn't have a genuine counterpart. Think about it.
Many of you who write me have one good thing going for you, and that is your continuing faith in Christ. I commend you for that. Hang onto that. It is your only hope! And to you I say simply that you do not have to sacrifice that because of the errors of Mormonism. They are not Christ's errors, but Satan's lies. My goal is to bring you to a better faith in Christ - to help you separate between man's teaching and Christ's truth. Ask Christ to help you do this. Search the Bible. There's good news there for you. Mormonism has not told you the full extent of what Christ has done and wants to do for you via the atonement (explained in my other pages). And if you have questions...please give me a chance at them. No, I don't know it all, but I care about you and want to share what I do know. It is a burden God has put on my heart.
With some of you, I've listened as you unload some of the bitterness you feel. That's OK. I don't blame you a bit. But bitterness is a tiring treadmill. To you I say, refocus. I'm bitter too...very very bitter...toward the Devil who created such a counterfeit that looks so yummy on the outside but is full of spiritual poison! I'm bitter enough to expose the lies! Yes, it is a CRIME you have been deceived or hurt or used. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. The worst is yet to come because of the LDS false plan of salvation, unless you learn and believe the truth! I love you enough to warn you and show you the lies and the truth about salvation and eternity. One hundred (or 1000) years from now this will be the only issue that matters. (Click here to see what I'm talking about.)
For those of you who feel alone in your discouragement with Mormonism, I can assure you, you are not! There is a site and chat group on line made up of Mormons who have become disillusioned, and who fellowship on-line for comfort, support, and Biblical inspiration. It is called Mormons in Transition. The support group can be accessed through this address: http://www.irr.org/mit/
With my prayers,

Australian ensemble performs Ukrainian dances
Recently, three members of an amateur dance group, called Verkhovyna, from Australia paid a visit to the office of Welcome to Ukraine Magazine. There was no- thing unusual in the fact of foreigners paying a visit to the WU office — it was the first time though that we talked to Ukrainians from Australia.
Dedicated to Ukraine
We have brought our young souls,
Our great respect and best wishes
To you, Ukraine, from the distant land
Of Australia!
Oh, Ukraine, the land sung by poets!
The land we've been looking for
Since our childhood,
The land where we did not grow up —
Oh, Ukraine, help us discover you!
Zoya Kohut
Before coming to Ukraine, Verkhovyna had been to Thailand where they had enjoyed a great success. In Ukraine they performed in Donetsk, Lviv and Kyiv. In Kyiv it was at the National Opera of Ukraine that they performed. Verkhovyna was a big hit with the Kyiv audience who could hardly believe that Verkhovyna members were amateurs, not professional dancers, members of the Ukrainian Youth Association of Australia who paid their money to come over to Ukraine to show their dancing skills and see the native land of their ancestors.
Zoya Kohut talked to Natalia Moravski, who organized the tour and designed the costumes, her daughter Melanie, the artistic director, and Natalia's son, Stephan, a dancer. These three, evidently made up the core of Verkhovyna. All of them were full of good cheer; they said they were thoroughly enjoying their tour and stay in Ukraine and the way their performances were received.
My first question will naturally concern your group Verkhovyna and the kind of dances you perform.
Melanie: We come from Melbourne, Australia. We perform dances that originate from various parts of Ukraine. Basically, we follow the lines set up by the remarkable Ukrainian choreographer Pavlo Virsky, but there are also numbers we perform that are borrowed from well-known dance ensembles of Volyn and Polissya. But I, as the artistic director of Verkhovyna, introduce changes which I think necessary for adjusting our dances to modern times and contemporary audiences. I want to connect the past with the present. Incidentally, we call our show Discovery.
On this tour you performed in Thailand, didn't you? It seems to be rather an unexpected place to take traditional Ukrainian dances to.
Melania: Yes, we performed in Chiang Mai (one of Thailand's largest cities, Chiang Mai is the capital of Changwat Chiang Mai; it serves as the chief economic center for the northern part of the country; it was founded in 1296; the Lao people constitute the city's main ethnic group — tr.). And the Thai audiences just loved our dances! It was a local international school for the children of diplomats and for local Thais that received us and provided the venue for our performance. We also gave master classes — there were quite a few people who wanted to learn to dance Ukrainian dances. And yes, Ukrainian dances were quite exotic for Thailand — and I'm afraid not only for Thailand! (Melanie laughs).
Stephan: We were asked to stay longer. Among the people who came to see our shows were Thais, Koreans, Germans, Britons, Americans and people of other ethnic backgrounds. At the first show, the spectators sat and watched mesmerized — but silently. But when they saw us clap our hands on the stage, they began clapping their hands too! By the end of the show they were all standing on their feet and applauding thunderously!
You mean the children?
No, they were the children's parents and teachers!
I think it is well known in Thailand where Australia is — but do they know in Thailand where Ukraine is?
Melanie: The students had had geography lessons some time before we arrived in Thailand and they had some idea of what and where Ukraine is.
When was your Verkhovyna ensemble founded?
Natalia: It was founded back in the 1950s within the framework of the Ukrainian Youth Association. The first artistic director was Yaroslav Bulka, a great enthusiast. He invited professional choreographers, and gradually Verkhovyna became the biggest and best-known dance group in Australia.
Is it known how many people of Ukrainian descent live in Australia?
Melanie: There are about 35,000 people of Ukrainian descent in Australia and about 10,000 of them are activists and enthusiasts of Ukrainian culture. We have such organizations as the Ukrainian Community, Ukrainian Youth Association, Plast. There are Ukrainian Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, Ukrainian schools where Ukrainian classes are conducted on Saturdays, song and dance groups.
Natalia: Australia is a big country — a continent, in fact! — but most of the large cities are situated in the east and south. Most of the Ukrainian community in Australia is concentrated in the east and south as well. I live in Melbourne, my mother lives in Adelaide, and my daughter lives in Sydney. But we see each other quite often — plus, all sorts of festivals provide additional opportunities for meeting each other. But I wish people of Ukrainian descent would socialize and see each other more often. There are maybe three or four thousand people of Ukrainian descent living in Melbourne but they see each other mostly in churches on Christmas and Velykden (Easter). But thanks to Ukrainian dances, a number of people socialize and are in contact with each other much more often. I do hope our young people will maintain knowledge of the Ukrainian language and culture and enthusiasm for it.
The Ukrainian community in Australia is not as well-to-do as it is in Canada, and we can't pay people for participating in Verkhovyna or other similar activities. The Verkhovyna members who have come on this tour paid between fifteen to thirty hundred dollars each in order to be able to travel to Ukraine. To put together that much money would take a lot of varenyky to sell!
Beg your pardon? What do varenyky (a sort of stuffed dumplings — tr.) have to do with it?
Natalia: You see, one of the ways of earning money for all sorts of things among the Ukrainian community in Australia is to make Ukrainian borsch, varenyky and other Ukrainian dishes which are quite "exotic" for Australia, and sell this food at festivals.
How do Australians of non-Ukrainian extraction react to your dance shows?
Natalia: I work for an agency that organizes tours of foreign theatrical and other troupes, and I know that we, with our Ukrainian dances, are not in the arts' mainstream. We perform in small halls, at festivals, in restaurants and at weddings. Curiously enough, we usually get invited at the weddings when only one of the newlyweds is of Ukrainian descent rather than both of them. Probably, in this way, the bride or the bridegroom wants to introduce their partner to Ukrainian culture. I think the Australian public would have appreciated our Ukrainian dances more if they knew more about Ukrainian culture. We are doing our best to make Ukrainian culture better known and appreciated in Australia. My grandmother did that, my mother did that, now my children and I are doing that. I hope that my grandchildren will do that too! Incidentally, my daughter's fiance, Oles', is a member of Verkhovyna too! And probably a day will come when Ukrainian dances and music will be known as hip-hop, African and Caribbean dances, or fusion (laughs).
Melania: In fact, we are planning to rehearse and perform a dance, which will combine elements of a Ukrainian traditional dance and hip-hop, and we want to involve some Australian dancers. I hope it'll be fun!
You mentioned restaurants at which you or other Ukrainian dance groups perform. Are there restaurants, at which the patrons are taught Ukrainian dances? The way it is done in Edmonton in Canada?
The number of restaurants which offer Ukrainian dishes is growing but I doubt Ukrainian dances are taught there. But it's a good idea, thank you for mentioning that.
You and other people like you maintain Ukrainian traditions, language and culture in a far-off Australia but you don't gain any financial benefits from it…
Melanie: No, we don't. But we do get cultural benefits. It's our culture — Ukrainianness is our very soul, it helps us to be what we are, it supports our inner world. I have Ukrainian genes in me, and whenever I hear Ukrainian music my genes respond with joy!
Stephan: Our grandparents and great-grandparents came to Australia because they were forced to do it by economic or political circumstances, they created there their new, little Ukraine, but they always wanted to go back. They passed their love of their native land and its language and culture on to us, and we respect our parents and grandparents for fostering in us this love of Ukraine, for teaching us Ukrainian songs and dances, and we shall pass this on to our children as well.
It's your first visit to Ukraine, isn't it? What did you expect to see, and what did you actually see?
Melanie: No, it's not my first visit to Ukraine. I learnt a lot of things about Ukraine at a national Ukrainian Saturday school. When I saw the Dnipro River for the first time from the airplane window, tears sprang into my eyes. I visited Kaniv and Taras Shevchenko's grave there, and wherever else I went to in Ukraine I felt I was coming in touch with the things I had learnt about in school. I felt so much at home in Ukraine, though at the time of my first visit then to Ukraine, I heard people mostly talking Russian and it was difficult for me to understand them. When I traveled to other countries of Europe, I felt myself a tourist there — not so in Ukraine. When I was leaving Ukraine, I wept. I kept crying for the whole month after I returned to Australia…
Natalie: In my student days, I had to explain to my teacher in Australia that Ukraine was not Russia, that Chornobyl was in Ukraine, not in Russia. I had to show her the map to prove my point. These days, people in Australia know a little more about Ukraine — the Orange Revolution, the boxers Klychko, the pop singer Ruslana…
Stephan: What I had learnt in school corresponded more or less with what I've experienced here in Ukraine. I did not experience a culture shock when I arrived in Ukraine. When we were riding in a bus from Boryspil Airport to Kyiv, I looked out the window and it seemed to me I had been here before. Incidentally, I saw snow in town for the first time — before that I had seen snow only in the Australian Alps. When, later, in a store, someone called us "foreigners," I was sort of surprised and the girl from Verkhovyna I was with even felt offended. She said, "We're Ukrainians! Only we talk with a bit of different accent!"
I think it'd be rather easy for me to get adjusted to life in Ukraine and live in this country… I remember when in Australia I was watching the Olympic games on television I could not quite figure out whether I should be a fan of the Australian or the Ukrainian athletes! (laughs). I am proud to be an Australian, but I am also proud to be an ethnic Ukrainian.
Natalia: On the poster that advertises our shows there are flower wreaths depicted — they are Ukrainian-style wreaths with Australian flowers!
Stephan: Before I traveled to Ukraine, I had heard a lot of warnings from different people about Ukraine — be prepared for this or that, but all of it has proven so far to be wrong! I had been told, for example, that at the passport and customs control at the airport in Ukraine, all our luggage would be very thoroughly checked and all sort of questions would be asked, but I was asked a couple of usual questions, and was waved on — "Welcome to Ukraine!"
Natalia: I came to Ukraine for the first time in 1994, and things were a little bit different then from what they are now. My parents had taught me back home to watch out for Russians in Ukraine, and to be careful not to expound on political and national subjects with them. I did not do that because I did not want any trouble and had a very good time in Ukraine. I was somewhat annoyed and upset when I encountered manifestations of soviet mentality, but I have not seen much of that on this visit. And the clerks in stores have become much more polite. I've noticed a lot of changes in Ukraine that have taken place since my previous visit. It's not true any longer, as some people say in Australia, that everybody talks Russian. I've found that a lot more people talk Ukrainian! I am very pleased to see that people we meet do not take us for tourists — we are Ukrainians for them!

According to a caller on RUSH yesterday, the group had an "Adopt a Detainee" program a while back.
If so, it tends to lend credibility to your theory.
Screw em
Let Murtha, Ramsey Clark, Kerry, and Jihad Cindy go rescue them.
Not one drop of American serviceman blood should be shed rescuing them.
Freepmail incoming
Let the jihadists do what they may and let these peaceniks find out that peace is the furthest thing in the terrorist's mind.
This is no kidnapping; it's staged.
Hope they don't go so far as to stage a beheading or two.
Why not? I truely believe that if they deem it neccessary, they'll do it. Hey, it'll thin out the gene pool...
Knuckleheads, the lot of them. I consider them traitors not peace activists. And I hope they truly know Jesus so they can go on to their great reward should their heads be separated from their unloyal necks.
"I was just about to say the same thing... only using a different word than, "ninnies.""
Very, very tempting, but you would get "Post removed by Moderator." for your efforts.
Hey, didn't something similar happen, oh, about a year or two ago? In this one, once the wackos found out it wasn't pretty nor where they favored by the insurgents, they came running back to the good ole USA?
"Fools rush in, where Angels fear to tread" didn't Andy Williams say that?
LOL! He may have quoted it as did I, but I'm sure the quote predates us both.
Not one drop of American serviceman blood should be shed rescuing them.
I agree. There was a no travel warning issued to all U.S. citizens to Iraq prior to the current conflict and they chose to igore it. I say they are on their own.
I certainly hope the US does not waste any resources on these 4 Communist "Peacenik tools" that have nothing to do with Christianity. They are nothing more than enemies of all who desire more Individual Freedom in this world...
The kidnapping was Bush's fault?
I thought maybe the terrorist insurgents had something to do with it - but their responsibility is notr mentioned AT ALL.
While I appreciate the bravery of these folks, the pure unadulterated stupidity is spectacular. They will be well deserving of whatever fate might await them.

Saddam weights about the "Besatzer"
Glonn - at the night the untypische steel-blue of its eyes is not noticeable in such a way. Dangerous distances puts Susanne easthope also therefore gladly in the protection of the darkness back.
With women the border posts are anyway somewhat accomodating. Their expressions even lighten themselves, if they hear Arab sounds. The 41-jaehrige native Muenchnerin speaks flowing Arab, since she was married with a Jordanian Arab. Sun and desert sand do a remaining, in order to give to the Outfit native patina.
All the Camouflage would not guarantee however yet that the dangerous actions of the Susanne easthope prospect for success have. The woman has also still courage only so is it to be explained that she breaks open in the middle in the Iraq war as a first civilian with three tons lead-in supply medicines from Jordan toward Bagdad. By hail of bombs and mortar fire.
Their slogan was as simple as bold: "the refugees do not come raus, therefore I must purely." On 1 April it reaches the Iraqi capital, where it endures to in the middle of June. When "it obligation-quartered hero without money" by the Saddam regime in the Sheraton hotel, infects itself with typhoid fever.
At home in the Upper Bavarian Glonn, where their ten-year daughter lives with friends, meanwhile renting and Handy costs accumulate. The family does not have understanding for its daring actions. "those wanted that I work at Aldi." Susanne easthope is Muslimin. "moderately", it says and nippt at a white beer.
OK. I have more information now. Benefit of the doubt is officially wihdrawn. They're on their own as far as I'm concerned.
Frontpagemag exposes them for what they are.
I think the U.S. Govt. should issue a press release demanding that, "the terrorist release our brave spies in the Christian Peacemaker Teams organization. We demand those brave soles be released at once to continue their efforts on behalf of the cursaders and zionists."
Be sure and ping me when that happens.....I'll be holding my breath.

Be still
I love being still and quiet and hate noise but sadly my head likes to continue with all the thoughts and worries...do you like being still? Stillness is very easy to convey in photography don't you think? not so hard to achieve in real life.

Being still is a wonderful achievement, one I strive for.ReplyDelete
Your capture depicts it beautifully. Have fun with the course!
I so agree with you on trying to be still in real life. Hoping that stillness can come with a little practise.ReplyDelete
the perfect still photo Justine.......... and yes, it's so hard to do for me tooReplyDelete
I agree, Justine. I'm enjoying the Be Still class, although I've gotten behind and it stresses me, which is not the result that I wanted! Your image is just perfect for the theme.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Lovely still image! Very pretty light.ReplyDelete
I am half way Be Still and I must admit some time being still does not work with me but I am trying...ReplyDelete
Justine, your images usually do reflect a feeling of stillness which I find very appealing. Wanting that feeling in my heart and soul is the main reason I signed up for Be Still myself. I'm halfway through the class now and am appreciating it more and more as I go along. I look forward to seeing what you will create.ReplyDelete
It is so hard to shut the mind off.ReplyDelete
How lovely...ReplyDelete

Rigging a Popping Cork for Redfish and Trout
Mike Caulder
Hey Skillz Fans! I just wanted to share our latest video tip. This one involves rigging a popping cork for inshore saltwater fishing. Capt. Jamie Rushing, of Seagate Charters here in Wilmington NC, explains how he ties this rig. His basic setup uses a rattling popping cork, leader and a D.O.A. Shrimp. This rig is perfect for shallow water fishing in creeks, marsh areas and grass beds. Jamie uses the popping cork rig to target redfish, speckled trout and even flounder. Your coastal inshore tackle box should not be without one or two popping corks. Check out the video above and be sure to give this rig a try for an inshore slam!

But where the asphalt ended, so did any semblance of a trail. It turns out the only way to slug your way up the narrows is to basically just dive right in.
That water is not ice cold -- it's just plain-old cold, about like tap water from the sink in spring. In other words, enough to make your feet go numb in a couple of minutes.
There's no sun in this narrow slot of canyon.
Oh well, how bad can it be?

9 April 2017
Co-leader of the Green Party, Jonathan Bartley, was in Worcester on Friday 7th April to launch the party's national council election campaign.
Jonathan Bartley with Greens in Worcester
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be here, we've got a record number of candidates at these local elections and it's crucial that we fight for the kind of country we want at a local level - the fight starts here.
"Since 2010 we've seen the longest period of under-investment in the NHS since the Second World War as a percentage of GDP, we've had 30 or 40 per cent of local government funding cuts on top of that, and we wonder why we've got social care problems.
"Wherever they are elected, Green councillors make a meaningful difference in their communities, improving people's lives in all sorts of ways."

A $3 billion transportation funding package under review in Minnesota would increase the state's fuel tax rate by about 10 cents over multiple years. It includes provisions that would also boost the license-tab fees and extend the state sales tax to all vehicle parts and services.
The state's tax rate on gas and diesel is 28.5 cents per gallon.
Sponsored by Rep. Ron Erhardt, DFL-Edina, the bill would increase the tax rate by 9.5 cents to 38 cents per gallon over four years. Specifically, the tax would increase 5 cents the first year and 1.5 cents for each of the next three years.
Speaking on the issue during a recent transportation hearing at the state capitol, Edina, MN, Mayor Jim Hovland testified that there's always resistance to increase the fuel tax.
He urged lawmakers to take the steps necessary to help usher in a "Golden Age of transportation for Minnesota."
Critics say that while the intentions of the bill are good it would hurt too many people. One lawmaker highlighted truckers, delivery drivers and cab drivers.
"It would be devastating for many businesses. It would wipe out their (profit) margins," Rep. Jim Newberger, R-Becker, told lawmakers.
Gov. Mark Dayton has said he doesn't think it's the right time to increase the fuel tax.
A separate provision in the bill would increase license-tab fees for passenger vehicles by at least $10.
The general sales tax would also be extended to include vehicle repairs and service. The new revenue would be routed to transportation. Revenue from the vehicle lease sales tax would also be dedicated for roads and bridges.
Local governments would also be able to raise new revenue for road and bridge work.
Currently, seven counties in the Twin Cities area are authorized to charge a wheelage tax. Typically, it is a flat tax on each vehicle in a county.
The bill would expand authority to collect a wheelage tax statewide. Counties in Greater Minnesota could also levy a local sales tax for transportation, without voter approval. State law now requires voters to sign off on local taxes.
The bill – HF1449 – is in the House Transportation Finance Committee.

Office of Public Defenders harps on free legal services for indigent persons
The director, Lagos State Office of the Public Defender (OPD), Mrs Olubunkola Salami, has said the state government is resolved to ensure that all residents in Lagos, have access to justice irrespective of their financial strength.
She said OPD is a body established by the government to render free legal services in criminal and civil cases to indigents and vulnerable residents of the State.
The director also said OPD will emphasise on issues threatening the socio-economic rights of the poor as well as other disadvantaged group such as children and women.
Salami stated this during a campaign tour in Badagry to create awareness on 'Free Lawyer for Lagosians'. She said the essence of the campaign is to create awareness on government's effort to eliminate all forms of criminality that undermine the citizens' rights and privilege.
"The essence of this campaign in the ancient town of Badagry, is to create awareness on the accessibility of OPD's office in Badagry where the citizens can access justice when their right and privileges are trampled upon.
"It is to also create awareness on the effort of the government of Gov. Akinwumni Ambode to bring free legal assistance to the grassroots and the fact that OPD will also continue to attends to all residents in Badagry irrespective of whether poor or oppressed, physically challenged, pensioners, widows and others that cannot afford the service of a legal practitioners.
"OPD ensure high quality legal representation to clients through excellence and demonstration of compassion, loyalty, commitment and professionalism, irrespective of the opposing party. It has also made available provisions for the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), in settling cases for those with complaints but did not want to go to court," Salami said.
Speaking on how OPD handles and interfere in family matters, the OPD director said, it does so through a "Social Service Department" team that are vested with the responsibility to investigate and interfere in family or domestic matters for the purpose of peaceful resolution.

Ahead of new Star Wars release, rare Star Wars memorabilia go on sale
More than 600 items will go on sale in an online auction organized by Sotheby's and eBay on December 11 — one week before the release of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', the seventh movie in arguably the world's biggest film franchise.hollywood Updated: Dec 04, 2015 02:15 IST
A Luke Skywalker doll for $18,000, a Darth Vader helmet or a cuddly Yoda for $100: 'Star Wars' fans will dig deep to splash their cash on some of the rarest merchandise on the planet.
More than 600 items will go on sale in an online auction organized by Sotheby's and eBay on December 11 — one week before the release of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', the seventh movie in arguably the world's biggest film franchise.
The space epics have grossed billions of dollars at the box office worldwide since the first film came out in 1977 and spawned a pop culture phenomenon, drawing legions of hardcore fans.
All of the items in the auction come from the private collection of Japanese designer and creative entrepreneur Nigo, who started collecting toys and figures decades ago at just six years old.
Bids are expected across the globe when the three-hour auction goes live at 1700 GMT, says James Gallo, Sotheby's consultant and owner of store Toy and Comics Heaven.
"It's a really large assortment of stuff. It's an impressive auction both in rarity and scope of items," he said.
Sotheby's, set up in 18th century London and best known for selling fine art masterpieces, called in Gallo to value the collection, which he spent a week-and-a half sorting through.
From the United States, to Russia, China and Saudi Arabia, 'Star Wars' has a fan base spanning generations. The films' psychology has even found its way onto university syllabuses.
"It's by far the strongest franchise," agreed Gallo. "It's been around longer than most, it's merchandised more than most... There isn't much that can compare."
A Luke Skywalker doll, which would have been sold in 1978 as a children's toy, goes on sale at the auction with an estimated value of $12,000 to $18,000.
'Just like fine art'
The most expensive items are two complete sets of 'Power of the Force' coins, valued at $25,000-35,000 and which were available only by special request from the manufacturer Kenner.
Gallo says he is tempted to bid on a couple of items himself, but that his favorite is a 42-inch (1.06 meter) hairy Chewbacca from Canada valued at $3,000 to $5,000.
"It's a really neat item," said the Pennsylvania-based aficionado. "It's a rare item to find."
