"Walking in God's Grace and Sharing His Love with
Families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit"
"The Footprints Ministry is the "welcome wagon" of God's grace in the Neonatal Unit at Baptist South. It is available to all, expected by none and totally unconditional. I count it a privilege to be a small part of such a dedicated group.The gift bag provides tangible proof that someone knows just how a new mom of a NICU baby feels and opens the door for ministry to continue."
Dana Gallahair RN
"There are very few times in life more challenging then when a parent is faced with a critically ill child. It is during this incredibly vulnerable time that a ministry like Footprints is able to come in and be the hands and feet of Christ to encourage, pray for and grieve with those who are suffering. What a great way to reach people with the love of Jesus Christ!"
Dr. Matthew Phillips
"The Footprints Ministry has touched the lives of so many of the families whose children I care for. We are so blessed to have you!"
Dr. Bart Cook, Pediatric Cardiologist
"When our daughter was in the NICU at Baptist South our life was distilledto its essence - family, friends and God. Everything else was stripped away andwas not missed. Through the prayer card in our welcome basket FootprintsMinistry brought to us an extended network of family and friends in God we havenever met, likely never will, but whose support will never be forgotten. We emerged from the NICU with a perfect little girl. Life has resumed itsnormal pace of day to day triumphs and struggles. The only thing missing isthat clarity about the priorities of life. Footprints Ministry has neverforgotten its priorities and shares this clarity with every new family thatenters the NICU. It is a remarkable ministry run by inspired people. "
David and Tyler Colgan, parents of premature baby Caroline, Atlanta, Georgia
"I had always pictured the perfect pregnancy and the perfect labor and delivery. After I was diagnosed with Pre-Eclampsia and had to C-section deliver my twin daughters at only 27 weeks pregnant, it seemed that some of my dreams had been shattered. Knowing my precious daughters would spend 2 months in the NICU was almost more than I could bare... until Footprints reached out to me and let me know that I was not alone. Reading Footprints families' testimonies on the Footprints Ministries blog gave me hope. Receiving Footprints handwritten notes of encouragement gave me strength. Meeting other Footprints families gave me a community. Hope, strength, and community are all such incredible tools that God uses through Footprints to shape our faith in Christ and to pass His love to others."
Laura Mielke, mother of premature twins Harper and Lily
"Our little Peyton was a gift from God "fearfully, wonderfully made". Footprints helped ease our "fears" through their prayers, support, and care."
Jeff and Beth Barranco, parents of premature baby Peyton
"I was there when this ministry was born in the hearts and minds of Kim and Glenn. I saw God place this vision in their hearts because of their personal journey with their son John Parker. Because John Parker was in the Nicu, this couple saw a need to minister to others who are hurting as they walk through their personal story. I saw Kim and Glenn stand before our church and commit to spend their lives for the Kingdom of God . They share Christ with those who are afraid, whose future is uncertain, and who feel isolated and helpless. I know, because seventeen years ago my wife Tammie and I looked at our little baby named Logan in the Nicu at Baptist Hospital in Jackson Mississippi. Footprints Ministry was not there for us, but I rejoice that it is there for couples in Montgomery and Beyond."

At the Wings for Life World Run, set for May 4, 2014, "the finish line is actually chasing you," as organizer Evan Korn tells Runner's World, and that's just one of the ways in which this global charity event differs from typical road races.
Aimed at raising money for spinal cord research, the Wings for Life World Run will comprise 40 simultaneous races on six continents, including four in the United States.
Korn wasn't kidding about the finish line. Here's how it works: When the gun goes off at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, participants in Atlantic City, NJ; Sunrise, FL; Denver, CO; and Santa Clarita, CA, will start racing, and 30 minutes later, a "catcher car" starts its pursuit, traveling initially at 9.32 miles per hour and slowly increasing speed throughout the day.
Once a runner is passed by the car, he or she is eliminated, and on the event's website, competitors can calculate how far they'll likely get before being bounced from the race and sent back to the starting line on shuttle buses.
Folks running 8:30 miles would travel 13 miles before being overtaken by the catcher car, for instance, while those moving at a 6:30 pace would cover 50 miles.
Organizers are hoping for a global turnout of 150,000 people, and due to the unique format—made possible by state-of-the-art timing chips—they expect that runners will need to cover "ultramarathon distances" to have a shot at winning.
The registration fee is $50, and it will increase to $70 before the end date of April 20. If the fee seems high, it should be noted that Wings for Life is supplying its own support staff and covering all costs related to the event. This means that all proceeds go toward spinal cord research.
It's a cause near and dear to the heart of two-time motocross world champion Heinz Kinigadner, who co-founded Wings for Life with Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz. Kinigadner's son, Hannes, was left quadriplegic after a motocross accident, and the foundation's focus is curing spinal cord injuries.
Each race can accommodate a maximum field of 5,000 runners, and while Wings for Life has yet to finalize each route, Sunrise race director Zoltan Polgar promises wide, unobstructed courses that will allow the catcher car to travel at the desired pace in each location, ensuring a fair race.
"I'd like to last near the end, but at the same time, it's really about running for those people that can't," said ultramarathoner Karl Meltzer, one world-class athlete who's committed to the race. "I have a certain pace I'll run. I think once that catcher car gets closer, I may be inspired to keep moving."

Meagan Grunwald's attorney has said the teenage girl feared for her life and was forced by her boyfriend to drive her truck during a high-speed manhunt while the boyfriend shot at police — killing one officer and wounding another.
But "fearful" is not how the 17-year-old girl appeared to Jim Clarken that day.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Clarken said in a recent interview with The Salt Lake Tribune that he was driving up Interstate 15 on the afternoon of Jan. 30 when the police chase came to an end right before him and his family.
Clarken, who was returning to his Salt Lake City home from Las Vegas that day, said he was several feet away when he saw police gun down 27-year-old Jose Angel Garcia-Jauregui and arrest both him and Grunwald.
"She was so distraught that he had been shot," said Clarken, recalling the girl's reaction. "She was sobbing uncontrollably. ... She was just freaking out, telling police, 'You f---ing assholes, you didn't have to f---ing kill him!' "
Freeway gunplay » Initially, Clarken said he had no idea what was unfolding in front of him just south of Nephi, with his wife and 10-year-old son in the car. When he saw Utah Highway Patrol lights flash behind him, he thought he was being pulled over for speeding.
Then, he saw a UHP trooper suddenly pull out of the median in front of him. Clarken said he braked suddenly to avoid hitting the trooper, and eventually came to a complete stop as he saw people running on the highway and the shooting unfold before him.
In that moment, Clarken said he wasn't sure if the men dressed in what he thought looked like snowmobile suits were police or what exactly he had just run into.
"They don't look like police officers," he recalled. "They look like hunters."
In fact, Clarken — who said he has a concealed carry gun permit — had pulled out his own gun in case he needed to protect himself from whatever was going on.
"We were 10 feet from where [Grunwald] was," he said. "That's why I got my 45 [caliber gun]. I don't know who this crazy person is. She was coming closer and closer to the car."
But before Grunwald could get any closer to his vehicle, Clarken said police fired off rounds at Garcia-Jauregui, who was struck by a bullet in the top of his head. He died the next day at a local hospital.
As police were arresting the couple, Clarken said he heard an officer yell to him to get out of the area, so they drove away, still not knowing what just happened — or why.
"I thought that guy did something," Clarken said about the man police shot. "By the number of cops, [I thought] that guy killed a cop. Either a child or a police officer."
Witness: "I feel lucky" » But it wasn't until the family arrived home and saw media reports that they discovered exactly what had happened. After they learned Grunwald and Garcia-Jauregui had carjacked someone and had been shooting at random at passing vehicles, Clarken said he was grateful he wasn't in the area minutes earlier, putting his family at risk.
"Just lucky, you know?" he said of his feelings after the event. "I feel lucky we weren't there."
For months afterward, Clarken said he didn't really talk about the incident, and didn't volunteer information to police or prosecutors. He was trying to protect his son, he said, because he did not want the young boy to have to rehash the graphic details to law enforcement.
But after seeing media reports where Grunwald's attorney told reporters that Grunwald would take the stand in her own defense at trial and say she was in fear for her life, Clarken said he felt he needed to come forward.
"Her choices were reduced to either comply or give up her own life," defense attorney Dean Zabriskie told news reporters following a preliminary hearing earlier this month.Next Page >

New Afghan War Plan Announced, But How Much Will It Cost? →
The President has announced a new troop plan for Afghanistan, but it remains to be seen how much the Pentagon will request in war funding.
Long-delayed Homeland Security headquarters in doubt →
Skepticism grows about the project, which is $1.5 billion over budget and 11 years behind schedule.
$1.5 billion over budget
Tell Congress to Save $7 Billion by Retiring the USS George Washington →
Here's a pop quiz: How many aircraft carriers does the U.S. Navy need to maintain military superiority? Before you answer that question, consider that no other country in the world, including China and Russia, has more than two carriers.
Would five aircraft carriers be enough? How about seven or eight?
The fact is, the U.S. has ten nuclear powered carriers in its fleet, with another scheduled to become operational in a mere two years. However, carriers are incredibly expensive to maintain and top military strategists have raised serious doubts about their vulnerabilities in modern warfare. So, considering all those factors, does it make sense for the Navy to spend $4.7 billion next year to refuel the USS George Washington?
Thoughtful naval experts think the Pentagon could easily trim its budget by reducing its carrier fleet, while still maintaining a Navy second to none. We agree.
Tell Congress to Save $7 Billion by Retiring the USS George Washington
Report: Pentagon to destroy $1B in ammo →
The Pentagon plans to destroy more than $1 billion worth of ammunition although some of those bullets and missiles could still be used by troops, according to the Pentagon and congressional sources.
The Pentagon may destroy millions of dollars worth of usable ammunition because its inventory systems can't talk to each other. In order to run an efficient and effective military, the Pentagon has got to get serious about making data sharable between various computer systems for things like ammunition and health records.
"The relationship of US defense spending to that of presumed threat nations and the girth of contemporary defense spending compared to a time of greater threat does not call into question the adequacy of the size of today's US defense budget; it calls into question the competence of current US political and military leadership, both in the Pentagon and in Congress."
Military Gives Congress a $36 Billion Wish List →
The U.S. military has sent Congress a $36 billion wish list for equipment and operations that aren't in the Pentagon's official budget for the coming fiscal year.
What would you do with $36 billion?
Retiring the Air Force's star player is a mistake, A-10 supporters say →
To Tom Norris, a former Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II combat pilot, the Pentagon's plan to retire the Warthog in the next few years is like a coach benching a team's best player.
If you thought the days of the $7,000 coffee machine and $640 toilet seat were over, Rep. Jackie Speier has some more examples of egregious waste at the Department of Defense.
When Congress is deciding how to spend more than half a trillion dollars of the taxpayers money, it needs to do so in public. It is deeply troubling that the Pentagon's budget (the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA) that last year authorized more than $625 billion in spending—is drafted and voted on by the Senate Armed Services Committee almost entirely in secret.
The bill—usually more than 1,000 pages long—is often then voted on with little or no chance for public debate and amendments by the full Senate.
The public has a right to know how Congress is conducting the people's business, particularly when so many taxpayer dollars and important wide-ranging policies are at stake.
It's time to bring the Senate NDAA into the light of day.

Trucking 2002
Think of all the drivers a quarter of a century ago who thought their tractors were dream machine compared to the iron horses of the 1950s. Take a quantum leap forward to the modern technology available on 2002 models, which often sport cabs resembling cockpits of small airplanes.
Computers, global positioning satellite systems and driver-friendly controls have helped transform the industry to make a hard job a little easier for today's trucker.
Split-second calculations
Back in 1977 about the closest thing to an engine computer you could find was an improved mechanical governor in the injection pump or unit injector system. It had been radically changed by all the manufacturers to produce "torque-rise," which meant engines that pulled better when lugged down than traditional diesels. The result was reduced shifting, especially when climbing grades.
Today there is a computer on the engine in place of the mechanical governor. It's an electronic microprocessor that can make thousands of calculations a second. It was put there to increase the precision and flexibility of the injection system to help meet emissions standards. But, as everyone soon found out, putting it on the truck was like Pandora opening her box. That's because one of electronics' greatest advantages is its programmability-you can tell the computer to solve any problem, and therefore perform any function that you can provide hardware for.
In the '70s, the driver's foot moved a lever on the pump governor with the throttle pedal and a cable. Now, the throttle pedal only changes an electronic signal sent to the computer. That makes the throttle action very smooth and precise.
But engine computers do a whole lot more.
Super Cruisin'
One of the best examples is modern cruise control. You could get cruise control in 1977, but it was an aftermarket system with little electronic sophistication. As a result, it reacted roughly to changes in grades, causing uneven bursts of engine power, and it was unreliable. Today's ECM controls how much fuel the engine's injectors pump in and it reads truck speed off a speed sensor on the back of the transmission. Today's cruise control, smooth and reliable, is just a function programmed into the engine ECM. There's no separate hardware except some simple switches. And these days your cruise control can be integrated with other systems.
One such connection, says Bill Gouse, vice president of engineering at the American Trucking Associations, is a sonar system called Eaton Vorad. It's biggest job is to warn the driver in fog or other low visibility conditions when he's approaching a vehicle ahead at too fast a speed or following too closely. It sends high frequency radio waves out in front of the truck and measures what comes back. If there is something ahead, it can figure out the distance and how fast it is moving.
Vorad also reads vehicle speed from the engine computer and then integrates that information with the speed difference and distance between the two vehicles. It considers the speeds involved before warning the driver.
But it also has another function. This, says Gouse, is its "active cruise" function. It adjusts the cruise setting downward when a truck whose cruise control is set for 65 mph encounters another vehicle ahead doing, say, 62 mph. The speeds of the two vehicles will quickly match, and at a following distance that is appropriate for the speed. The driver can continue running without resetting the cruise speed.
Among other big technology leaps forward, Ralph DeGenova, marketing manager at Volvo Trucks North America, cites the variable power curves modern engine computers can handle. Fleets have never been eager to spec maximum power in a truck engine without some kind of speed limiting. Drivers too often use that power to quickly reach and hold higher speeds that waste fuel. Modern engine computers can rate the engine at, say, 430 horsepower normally, then boost it up to 500 hp when in cruise control. The cruise control's range can be restricted so it can't be set above the fleet's approved maximum speed, say 65 mph. When the driver sets the cruise, his engine suddenly climbs hills with 500 horses, minimizing shifting and improving the performance of his vehicle without wasting a lot of fuel. This system, too, has no separate hardware.
Other such electronic integration saves novice and experienced drivers alike embarrassing and expensive moments. DeGenova points out that, for example, on a dump truck, the PTO can be integrated with the transmission. This way, once the driver shifts out of the lowest gears, the PTO disengages and he won't ever be running down the road at 55 mph as the dump body rises to meet a bridge.
The driver message display on the Mack Vision tractor uses a high-contrast display made by Planar Systems. A tremendous amount of research went into making it possible to read the display in less than two seconds, so the driver can maintain his view of the highway.

A woman hung herself in my room before we brought the house.
A woman hung herself in my room before we brought the house.
My names Meg,
You may occasionally see colour on my blog, I have an opinion on everything.
I rant a lot.
I'm nothing special, I'm just aiming to be. I believe in love and I don't like change. I feel more comfortable in the winter. I'm very stubborn, and most likely wont say sorry first because I'm normally right.
I need to be rich or famous, by the time I'm 25 otherwise I'm going to kill myself, I'd just consider my life a waste. I think too much. I find the human mind incredibly intriguing. I often find myself in debates within my own head. I'm generally a nice person.
I like morbid/black and white photography. It shows more purpose to me.
I guess you could say I'm a kind of person that believes I'm built for better in life than what I have now, If I end up like the people around me/in this country when I am older then, I will kill myself. I want a different life, I want everything it has to offer.
I like all things American.
I don't believe there is is a God, I believe there is a devil and spirits, ghosts, etc.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Portola Hills Elementary School is an amazing educational facility. It has some of the best teachers in the world and it's PTA involvement and membership is off the charts which enables us to have incredible, music, art and dance available to the children. The principal is above and beyond involved with the kids. He is always seen interacting with them and has been known to play his guitar at many assemblies. I love this school. Both of my children attend and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
Last year was our first year there and we LOVE LOVE LOVE it there I have two older children in private school and I am telling you this school is just as good actually better. We were blessed enough to get Mrs. L for kindergarten and I /we could not have been any happier with all aspects of the school. Including the office staff, even the times I would forget to call my child in sick they would always call me to check in and they were never nasty always caring and kind! And as many times as I would forget I gave them every right to get a little snippy but they never did, bless there hearts! They have a tough job but they do it with heart and soul along with all the teachers and yard duty staff. Thank you Portola School we are looking forward to coming back this year! Oh and academically my son has grown by leaps and bounds, which has exceeded our expectations. We had every intention of moving him over to a private school but not now we will stay her all the way through 6th grade!
My son will be entering 3rd grade in the fall and has been attending since kindergarten. Thus far, we have been very pleased with PHE. We have been impressed with each of his teachers and the level of education he has received. Parent support is awesome and the TLC child-care program has been a blessing. I would certainly like the class sizes to be smaller, but that is simply not an option due to the continued cuts to education. But from what I have witnessed, strong, seasoned teachers who have control of their classrooms are able to manage the larger class sizes (along with support from parents assisting in the class). PHE has a FT librarian and computer lab and has a wonderful arts program. I do wish that there be a science-focused program implemented, one in which the children could enter projects in a science fair type situation. I definitely recommend PHE!
I was just promoted to seventh grade from Portola, and I enjoyed each and every year here. All of my teachers were wonderful and offered the best education. The GATE program is good also; there are certain subjects that we are put in special groups to learn more difficult things. I feel like we were prepared for junior high, because the teachers told us what to expect, and they taught us above and beyond so we could know a little extra. To add on to the great curriculum, many of my teachers taught manners to the students. I loved Portola Hills, and I recommend sending your child here.
My advice is to switch to Valencia or De Portola for GATE/advanced academic curriculum--we did exactly that and have noticed a difference now.
As a parent with two kids at PHE, one of whom is in an SDC class and the other mainstreamed with limited support, we have been thrilled with the curriculum and teacher dedication to it. Having come from a well regarded private school (regular ed), we found that the academic standards were actually much higher at PHE. I was in GATE my whole academic life and never found it to be much of a distinction from what my brother encountered in the regular classroom. My son's class had 28 students and his teacher knew every quirk, strength and area of interest my son had. I was shocked at how much she could recall about everything from his social habits, study skills, areas of weakness, etc. If he needed to work on holding the pencil differently, she knew it. She could recall which letters he most frequently wrote backward, etc. The special ed teacher was the same, and due to IEP standards, had charts of his behavior and perentages of goals achieved, etc. I have been in OC public schools my whole life as a student teacher, student and parent and I cannnot imagine a better school anywhere. I have heard Irvine schools are even more demanding, but unless you want to move, stick with PHE!!
Not sure why this school get rated what it does..but it goes to show you the ratings are nothing more than numbers...in actuality, the students are not being challenged to their highest potential..there is no development for each child to have growth..its just the standard memorize this and move on. Gate is a joke. Just harder spelling words and more math problems..nothing to challenge the development and intellectual ability of advanced students.
I agree with the other parent regarding GATE program at PHE. Even though the school and SVUSD says GATE students at PHE are placed in a GATE cluster class, it is not true. There is no such thing as a GATE cluster class in PHE. GATE students are randomnly placed in all classes so each teacher (GATE or non-GATE teacher) will have few GATE students in their class. So if you can, place your child in a GATE SDC school rather than at PHE. PHE is a great school if your child is non-GATE.
I was totally disappointed with this school. There was little educational support of my child's cognitive development. In addition, I found that I would spend a vast majority of time teaching basic concepts that my child should have learned within his classroom. I would definitely not recommend this school based on this alone. Education should be supportive of children and allow for the continual development of the child; however this was totally absent from the environment within this school.
If your child is gifted, consider moving elsewhere outside this attendance area like Valencia Elementary. GATE is running on fumes at PHE and essentially is little more than a label. Class sizes in 2011 are about 30 students per teacher. In fact the SVUSD's entire web site is outdated with information regarding GATE and you really have to push to get information from any of the schools. Expect to get a lot of terse, almost rude replies and the feeling of being a pest.
Love the School. My daughter loves it and cant wait unitl her little sister will join her at the School!
They are very organized when it comes to having any school event and there are many fun family activities throughout the year. The teachers have good communication when a child goes from grade to grade they know how to best accommodate for their learning style.
Love this school, admin, PTA and especially the teachers! I have two kids at PHE, a third grader and a kindergardner. This school not only has great API scores, but very involved parents and an excellent teaching staff. The PTA has helped us to keep our librarian and computer programs, art masters & music, while other SVUSD schools lose these important programs. Class size remins good ~ new kindergarden rooms are fabulous! Classroom size in 3rd grade is really good, they have opened up new rooms and are getting rid of the portables. In my opinion, PHE is as good, if not better, than area private schools!
Portola Hills continues to strive to be the best they can even when faced with serious state financial deficeits. The community pulls together to insure that our children have a well rounded education including technology training, arts education and community/family events in addition to a challenging curriculum. Portola Hills fosters an environment of high achievement mixed with the fun and adventures of just being a kid!!!
Love how this school finds ways to keep class sizes down & how the awesome PTA/school supports and is one of a few schools who still offers arts, music, dance & computer programs, despite all the cuts. Excellent principal, amazing teachers & of course the best students. :)
Portola HIlls Elementary has some of the best teachers in the district and has great support from the families in Portola Hills. We love our teachers and school!
The teachers are great at this school. Even though with the budget cuts the old Kindergarten and some other rooms are condemned due to sliding. I am currently a student at serrano intermediate and have noticed that the elementary music department is nothing compared to Jr High and High School levels. Largely because you only do 1 concert with 3 songs you leanr to play for the whole year. The teachers really know how to get you prepared for going on to the next grade up.
Portola Hills Elementary is the best! The Principal & teachers are wonderful and caring. My daughter Ashley, currently a 10th grader at ETHS, started going here in the 5th grade after a few years at a Catholic school in Laguna Beach. When we got to PHE we found a far better educational system and awesome teachers. I'm sorry we wasted so much $$$ on the private school and we have never looked back. Now Ashley and my first grader, Victoria are both receiving a superior education at ETHS & PHE!
Since 1998 We've had 3 children attend PHE. it has been a great experience. Parental involvement is high. School has great Fine Arts with music appreciation & Art Masters programs. High number of nice Christian families & teachers and is near one of the largest Christian churches in the country. New principal this year - very professional gal but don't know her well yet.
At the Kindergarten level, the school does a good job of utilizing the 'early birds' and 'late birds' concept. Half of the children get to school an hour an a half early and that time is spent on academics this the early kids. When there is overlap and all kids are present, that is when there is time that is conducive to group activities such as snack and time on the playground. This provides more individual attention to the kids in the academic area. Generally there are also at least 1 parent in the room that is there to assist the teacher in preparing supplies, organizing and helping kids with projects.

Arianne MacBean's dance-theater Big Show Co. scrutinizes the creative process
Verbal language entered here as fragmentary phrases or single words, which acquired meaning in the way they are spoken, screamed, thrown about, casually chained to each other. At one point they simply disappeared into sound that is part of pure physical frustration.
In the opening passage, both Eugene and Carson seemed encased in their own worlds. He stood, and in Butoh-like fashion incrementally opened his arms and shifted his balance ever so slowly. You had to keep looking to see the moves. In contrast, the robotic Carson jerked herself like a mechanical doll onto the ground and up again. Attwell and Brad Culver slowly worked their way across the stage on their backs. The contrast between vertical and horizontal planes suggested a self-contained space that changed very slowly. But then these isolated beings tried to connect, and raced around trying to catch a hand like a lifeline. In twos, they were restrained even as they reached out. That section went on too long. Despite the constant shifting of partners, these parts did not accumulate. More effective was they way they shouted fragments, or single words that would make a sentence, at each other. It all started with Attwell's silent scream. *

Would you like to stop human trafficking and sex slavery?
It sounds lovely. Absolutely, yes, right?There's a problem.We've got a culture that celebrates aggressive sexuality in music/tv/photography/art and encourages pornography/masturbation/sexual experimentation. It's a culture that:
WANTS to hear Rihanna and Chris brown sing a duet about their sexual exploits after self-righteously throwing a nationwide hissy-fit about domestic violence.
WANTS children to have "sexual freedom" and access to condoms/birth control/contraceptives.
More access to contraceptives lead to rape?? Are rapes are caused by condoms and the pill ?? WTF is this??
WANTS flags and rainbows and smiles in the name of sexual liberation!
…Can this culture, at the same time, be appalled at the consequences of the same sex agenda it defends?
So do gay haman rights, I guess!! Two consenting adults enjoying the same rights as anybody else contribute to the sexualisation of society and consequently to the rape of children?? This affirmation leads to some major moral considerations: So what should we do?? Should we fucking kill gays for rape to stop?? Did sexual abuse start with the fight against homophobia? Jesus, help me!! I have lost the will to can!!
Do we have the right to cry "INJUSTICE!" when we see the fruit of our hyper-sexualized culture being manifested in the lives of unwilling women, men and children?
All this and I'm realizing that my PERSONAL digestion of pornography and indulgence in masturbation is equally (if not more) the cause as any human trafficker. (PS - could you please pray for me about that?)
I've had to ask myself, If you can't surrender your lust for righteousness sake, how can you expect anyone else to?
Whether or not you're raping/trafficking/attacking you have the ability to take a stand against the widespread acceptance of sexual violence/exploitation/indoctrination by resisting the lust in your own life.
We can't have our "birthday cake" and eat it too.

PASCO, Wash. - The City of Pasco has been working on plans to improve traffic flow on Road 68. The City estimates that 50,000 vehicles use Road 68 every day and that number is only expected to grow.
The City held a second public forum on the project Wednesday night and business owners got to say their peace. The main focus was a change to traffic signals, they will soon communicate with each other to keep cars moving. The City is also going to put in raised medians, blocking some left hand turn like Pasco's only UPS store.
"Right now we have driveways and center turns lanes. Anybody can go anywhere and as the traffic grows there's more chances people will have accidents and that's what the history of accidents says," said Public Workers Director Ahmad Qayoumi. "Loud noises. And it is things like this, this is why we can't have people trying to get here through the back door. We're surrounded by semis and big trucks and that's great, we love to see commerce and businesses and give people jobs and provide great service. But we have to be able to have people get here," said Randy Barnes with UPS.
However, the City is more than happy to work with people like Barnes, and the left hand turn into his business will be left alone for at least a year.
The project should begin later this year.

The Kallikantzaros, or kallikantzaroi –we're going to have to come up with something shorter and easier to spell for the time being, so let's go with kallies for plural, from here on out, –is a night time spirit. Kallies dwell in the ground, and come out at night to wreak mischief on unsuspecting villagers, and citizens. The kally can refer to leprechauns, gnomes, or goblins collectively, but for the most part, they're spirits from ancient Greek mythology, and Cypriot legends as well. Cypriot; as in, from the island of Cyprus, long known for it's strife and hardships, as well as being one of the most beautiful places on earth. The name for kallikantzaros is speculated to be derived from the term "kalos-kentauros" which means, "beautiful centaur." They are mainly underground dwelling as a species, and surface at night, but only during the winter solstice; from December 25th, to January 6th. They stay underground, working only to saw through the World Tree; a legend present throughout almost all mythology, it's roots, branches, and leaves support the earth, heavens, and the underground. The Kallies saw through the roots year-round to make it collapse, therefore destroying the world, but during the solstice, they're able to go above ground so they forget the tree. When they return on the sixth, they see that the tree has completely healed itself, and so they must start all over. One could protect themselves during the solstice by leaving a colander on their doorstep; the kallikantzaros would ave to busy himself counting each and every hole. Also, they were unable to count past two, because three is a holy number, and if they were to say it, they'd immediately die.
The Menehune are basically the fairy race of Hawaii; they resemble leprechauns, or gnomes, are said to have once built homes, canoes, and little villages deep in the forest. According to Hawaiian mythology, the menehune were an actual race; their favorite foods were bananas, fish, and that they were superbly talented in crafts. A few of the structures in Hawaii are supposedly built by the Menehune, since no one else can remember who did it. For example, Alekoko fishpond wall at Niumalu, Kaua'i, Kīkīaola ditch at Waimea, Kaua'i, and the Necker island structures. Likely, these are natural structures created by weather and erosion; but, on the other hand… maybe not.

Austin came back home with his eyes almost tearing. I didn't knew what was happening, but when I followed him he just got into his bedroom and locked the door:
You: Austin! What happened?
Austin replied me through the door with a crying and angry voice:
Austin: Get out!
You: What? Why are you saying this? Please let me get in!
Austin: No, just give me some alone time. I need to think about everything.
You: Are you sure?
Austin: Yeah, just go to your bedroom and think about something else.
I went to the bedroom and I got on twitter. It was logged at Austin's twitter, so I think the best thing to do was check his DMs. I opened Alex's messages and they were fighting. It wasn't a normal fight between friends. They were calling each other names really means and both sounded really angry and upset, but I didn't read the start of the fight. I wanted to hear it from Austin, so I logged off, and after about 30 minutes I knocked at Austin's door:
Austin: Who is it?
You: It's me. Can I come in now? Please.
Austin: Come on in.
I sat on his bed and he was on the chair with his head down. I was really worried cause I could see that he was crying this whole time:
You: Can you tell me what happened?
Austin: It's kind of complicated.
You: Since you got back from the airport to take Alex you're sad, and I just hate *interrupts*
Austin: We fought. It was something really serious. I don't think he wants to ever see me again.
You: Why did you two got into this huge fight?
Austin: He told me that I changed. He told me that I'm acting like a famous artist and not like someone normal anymore. He told me that I don't spend time with my friends anymore... Because of my carrer.
You: Did he said anything else?
Austin: He said that I also don't have time for friendships anymore because of... You know...
You: Me?
Austin: How did you knew?
You: I noticed the way he acted with me on the party.
Austin: What can I do about it? I don't feel like I changed, for real.
You: Maybe you should go there and apologize. I also feel like we have spent so many time together that they miss you. I love you so much, but you need to take some time for friends. You are a teenager. Enjoy it the best way you can.
Austin: I'll miss you. Do you really think I should go?
You: Yes. I'll miss you too.
Austin: I love you so much. My mom would never said that to me, and thanks so much for being honest. I'm going tonight.
He kissed me and after packing, he went to the airport with Dave. I started to feel guilty about everything that was happening. Did I gave him the best advice? What if they friends don't apologize him. It's all going to be my fault.

No other football game has this type of atmosphere that the Salt Bowl has. This game is about friends who become foes for one day out of the year and then after the games are over, past bitter rivals enjoy a lifetime of friendships. I have had the opportunity to talk to many participants of past Salt Bowls and this article is a result of their input concerning the Salt Bowl rivalry.
CABOT – The Benton Junior Lady Panther volleyball team went to Cabot to play the South team and came away with their first conference victory of the season on Monday night. Benton beat Cabot South in close sets, losing the first 25-27 before taking the next two 25-18 and 15-13.
It was the Jr. Lady Panthers' first close win of the year and Benton's first three-set win. Emme Edmondson had eight kills, Lenzie Newman seven and Sydney Channel had five for a well-rounded attack.Â
NORTH LITTLE ROCK – The Bryant and Benton boys' golf teams came in first and second respectively at Emerald Golf Course in North Little Rock on Monday. Bryant Junior Luke Brantley and sophomore Drew Castleberry each shot a 1-under 34 at the par-35 nine-hole golf course to take the overall medalist and lead Bryant to a 104 for the win.
Benton took second with a 108, while Maumelle (137), Pulaski Robinson (146), Little Rock Parkview (150) and Jacksonville (172) rounded out the rest.
RUSSELLVILLE – The Bryant Lady Hornets went 2-4 in the Cyclone Invitational in Russellville on Saturday. Starting out with a familiar 7A/6A South conference foe J.A. Fair, Bryant swept them 25-8 and 25-5 before running into fellow 7A school Mount Saint Mary in the next match, falling to the Belles 18-25 and 13-25.
SHERWOOD – Bryant sophomore Drew Castleberry shot a 1-over 37 for the overall boys' medalist, but the Hornets barely fell to North Little Rock at The Greens at North Hills in Sherwood on Monday. North Little Rock shot a 173 to Bryant's 170.
"The pin placement had to be the hardest ones they had available," Bryant Coach Keith Dale said of North Hills. "The greens were cut short, rolled and sanded that morning making a put stick next to impossible. The kids had a very hard time."
LITTLE ROCK – The Benton Lady Panthers competed in the Spikefest Tournament in Little Rock on Saturday and finished the day 3-1 between pool play and tournament matches. Benton defeated West Memphis 25-15 and 25-17 before splitting with Fort Smith Northside (20-25, 25-11). Because the Lady Panthers beat Northside by more point-wise, Benton was first in their pool.
In tournament play, Benton swept the Texas High Lady Tigers 25-16 and 25-17, but would end their day falling to Mount Saint Mary on its home court 14-25 and 23-25.
ARKADELPHIA – The Bryant Lady Hornet cross country team opened the season with a victory Saturday at the OBU Invitational. The Lady Hornets put all five of their scorers in the top 17 places to take the team championship with a score of 44 points. Lake Hamilton was runner-up with 66 points followed by Mt. St. Mary (66), LR Christian (81), Cabot (140) and Trinity Christian (176). There were 15 total teams and 163 individual finishers in the race.
The Benton Junior High Panthers got their first taste of life in new stadium and the outcome was as sparkling as their new home. The freshmen Panthers defeated Sheridan 21-12 and the Benton eight graders won 40-20.
The freshmen Panthers got off to an inauspicious start. Sheridan recovered an onside kick to open the game. The Benton defense stiffened, forcing Sheridan to line up to punt on fourth down. But a fake by McKinley Williams resulted in a 52 yard touchdown for the Yellowjackets. The two-point conversion try failed, but Sheridan led early 6-0.
LITTLE ROCK – The Benton golf team competed at par-36 First Tee golf course in Little Rock on Wednesday, with the girls taking four of the top five spots in winning the nine-hole match over Harding Academy and Evangel Collegiate, and the boys taking second (130) behind Harding Academy (120).
The match wasn't on the original schedule, but Benton Coach David Torres said the Panthers are trying to sneak matches in to get ready for the postseason.
BENTON – The Benton Junior High volleyball Lady Panthers won the 2013 Benton Freshman Classic on Saturday in Benton, taking down the Bryant Jr. Lady Hornets 25-17 and 25-19 in the championship match.
The Lady Panthers finished first in pool play, dropping one set to Lakeside before sweeping Arkadelphia and Bryant to meet back up with Arkadelphia in the first match of bracket play. Benton beat Arkadelphia 25-11 and 25-19 to advance to Bryant in the championship match.

Donny Osmond has criticized Lady Gaga's shock tactics, branding her headline-grabbing stunts a "cheap way" of finding fame and selling records.
Bing: Gaga's controversial videos
Osmond previously slammed Gaga for her 2010 music video "Telephone," which he claimed featured "profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence."
More: Minaj parts ways with manager Diddy
Speaking on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" he said, "First of all just let me make the statement: I think Lady Gaga is brilliant as a marketer, as a writer, as an artist -- she is Madonna incarnated in my opinion. But I don't agree with a lot of the shock elements nowadays a lot of artists take to get their face on the cover, to get on the charts."
"In my opinion it is a cheap way to become popular," he added, "but I do think she's a very talented woman."

Tampa police released the names of all victims of the car crash that killed three people around 8:00 p.m. Sunday night while they were fleeing the scene of a crime.
Officers said they couldn't interview Kenneth Edward Crouse, 42, of Tampa, who is the only surviving victim of the crash. Officers couldn't identify the others because of the condition of their bodies, but they told us, there were two women and two men in the Jeep and one of the women was driving.
The two women who died because of the crash are Tonya Elizabeth Faris, 29, and Ashley Helen Thompson, 34, both Tampa residents. The police also identified the third victim, Steven Edward Cuervo, 40, of Tampa.
Tampa Police Spokeswoman Andrea Davis says four people in a Jeep Grand Cherokee had just stolen some beer from a 7-11 at 3434 West Columbus Drive and were fleeing the scene. A clerk at the convenience store called police to report the theft.
Moments later, another driver reported seeing the Jeep barreling down Columbus. That driver, Lorenzo Monteagudo, swerved to get out of the way. The Jeep lost control and crashed. A witness says at least one person, a woman, was ejected. Police say that woman, and two men, died at the scene. Paramedics rushed a fourth person to the hospital.
Monteagudo was not hurt, but says he tried to aid the woman who he saw thrown from the Jeep. "I immediately went to check on the female that was ejected." Monteagudo said. "Checked for pulse. She was still alive. She was in rough shape. Then I checked on anybody else in the vehicle."
Columbus Drive from MacDill Avenue to Himes Avenue was closed while detectives reconstructed the crash.

Guest Column : Growing up with Sachin
What They Said About : 'He changed the approach of batting in ODIs'
Sharda Ugra : A career built on reinvention
Features : Way ahead of the pack
Features : What's your favourite Tendulkar moment?
Audio/Video: 'It hurts to see Tendulkar struggle'
Players/Officials: Sachin Tendulkar
Teams: India
Sachin Tendulkar has retired from ODI cricket. Tendulkar finishes an illustrious career in the 50-over format, having played 463 ODIs, scored 18,426 runs and made 49 centuries, each of them a world record. His last ODI was against Pakistan in Dhaka during the Asia Cup, where he made a half-century in India's victory.
"I have decided to retire from the One Day format of the game," he said in a statement. "I feel blessed to have fulfilled the dream of being part of a World Cup winning Indian team. The preparatory process to defend the World Cup in 2015 should begin early and in right earnest. I would like to wish the team all the very best for the future. I am eternally grateful to all my well wishers for their unconditional support and love over the years."
Tendulkar made his ODI debut on his first international tour, in 1989, against Pakistan in Gujranwala, where he got a duck. He scored his first half-century in his ninth ODI and made an immediate impact when promoted to open the batting in 1994, in an ODI against New Zealand in Auckland, where he smashed 82 in 49 balls. His first century took 79 ODIs to arrive but he kept piling them on with remarkable consistency. (Click here to see Tendulkar's cumulative ODI record.)
Some of the batting highlights in his ODI career include back-to-back hundreds against Australia in 1998 in a triangular tournament in Sharjah, finishing as the highest run-getter in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa, and becoming the first batsman to score a double-century in the ODI format, against South Africa in February 2010.
He was part of one of India's greatest ODI achievements over the last three decades, when they won the World Cup in 2011, beating Sri Lanka in the final on his home ground in Mumbai - it was his last ODI in India. In preparation for that World Cup, Tendulkar had curtailed the amount of ODI cricket in the year playing only four ODIs in the 12 months before the tournament. Since the end of the World Cup, Tendulkar has played 10 ODIs, seven in the CB Series against Australia and the last three of his career being played at the Asia Cup in Dhaka. His innings of 114 against Bangladesh on March 16 was his 100th international hundred in what turned out to be Tendulkar's penultimate ODI match for India.
Tendulkar's announcement of his ODI retirement came through a statement from the BCCI which stated that he had spoken to BCCI president N Srinivasan. His retirement was announced on the day the Indian selectors picked the teams to play in the five-match T20 and ODI series against Pakistan.
"It was not sudden. He informed us before the selection about his decision," Sanjay Jagdale, the BCCI secretary, told reporters. "He spoke to me and the president about his decision. Naturally he must have been (emotional) I can't say we just spoke on the phone."
"What he has expressed is his concern that India has to prepare for the next World Cup," the BCCI's chief administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty added. "From that point of view, he felt that it was time that he retired."

Sometimes you need that perfect image for your blog or report. Sometimes you just like to look for cool photos or images. In either case, no one can claim that the Google interfaces is "pretty."
If you want to find that perfect image and enjoy an aesthetically pleasing interface that you can also save and download, try Montage-A-Google.
The name pretty much tells you what this search engine does: it makes a really neat montage of the search-term images.
For example, suppose I am searching for images of planets. I enter "planests" into the search area.
and here's what I get:
If you like the result you have the option to download the resulting image which could be used as artwork or even as a desktop wallpaper.
But, after all, this is an image search. Use your mouse to hover over the image you would like to look at and click on it:
I just had to try one more and since I'm originally from Chicago, I miss the snow! (Texas doesn't get too much snow–especially Houston)
So if you want a versatile, fun and artsy way to search for Google Images give Montage-A-Google a whirl!
