Why the State Regulates Marriage
In the debate over Pennsylvania's law defining marriage as an arrangement between one man and one woman, two questions are fundamental: 1) Why is marriage properly understood as a lasting relationship between one man and one woman? 2) Why does the state have an interest in defining it that way?
Most of the proponents of same-sex "marriage" who answer the first question in the negative, do not address the second question. My guess is that in their view all our rights emanate from government and so when same-sex couples
claim an equal standing to rights, they expect government to dispense those rights. It is implicitly a view of an all-powerful, totalitarian state.
But understanding the government's interest in marriage begins with answering the first question above. Human life begins and is sustained through heterosexual relations and so over the millennia, an institution between man and woman, father and mother, has evolved in our civilization. The predicate of marriage has always been the consequences of heterosexual behavior, which include the potential of human life and the proper rearing of children.
Most people understand that each child is best served with a loving mother and a loving father. It is natural enough to view the so-called nuclear family as the building block of civilization. No doubt, this is not always possible and second best arrangements are sometimes necessary and can be lovingly heroic. But it is the mistake of modernity to equate these other arrangements with the traditional family and thereby denigrate the ideal of the traditional family.
The past 50 years in America have been particularly destructive of this ideal. No fault divorce, social programs that supplant true parenthood, abortion on demand, sexual behavior viewed as entertainment and recreation--all of this and much else have undermined the family at the core of civilization.
If it's not the duty of government to foster marriage, it is most certainly its duty to refrain from contributing to its demise. Understanding marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman is not an act of hate as some have claimed. It is, rather, an elevation of a common and natural act to one of uncommon importance for the human race. It is to recognize the intrinsic value of each human life.
And that is why the state takes an interest in marriage. Or I should say, why society uses government to define and regulate marriage as a lasting relationship between one man and one woman. Our rights are antecedent to government—we have instituted government to secure our rights to life and property. The life of a child brought into being through heterosexual relations deserves the protection of the state and the state, as the fundamental protector of civilization, ought to support civilization by supporting its most basic component, the family.
I always advocate for limited government and there are those who say government has no standing with respect to marriage. But favoring limited government does not mean favoring no government and obviously there are proper duties for government. I can think of none higher than the protection of children and the extension of civilization.
So between those who favor unlimited government and its licensing of homosexual relations and those who favor no government involvement in the natural process of procreation, there is a middle ground of prudence—marriage defined as a lasting relationship between one man and one woman with the understanding that society will flourish only when families flourish. This is not an edict or a recent discovery, but a truth learned from thousands of years of human existence.
Full disclosure: Our Commonwealth's Constitution, which I and all who serve in public office swear or affirm to uphold, explicitly thanks God for His blessings of civil and religious liberty and asks for His guidance. I am a God-fearing Christian whose personal life and worldview is informed through the Bible. I stood proudly with the Pennsylvania Pastors who recently protested Attorney General Kane's dereliction of duty to defend our state's law on marriage. Nonetheless, I have scrupled in this essay to make the secular case for that law and its importance for the well-being of our society. This is not strictly a religious issue, but one of enormous general concern.

Hurricane Katrina drove approximately 20,000 evacuees from New Orleans to [Port Arthur, Texas], overwhelming its thin resources. Shortly thereafter, Hurricane Rita struck...Few organizations in Port Arthur [are] providing needed services to children and families.
Three grocery stores, an entire shopping mall, a pharmacy, and various businesses have closed...Jobs were lost, and many resources that would have been dedicated to assisting children and families are now going to assist hurricane recovery.
Finally, information about disaster relief and planning are limited. This funding request will allow DFPS to move beyond prehurricane levels by restoring social services, enhancing educational programs and job training opportunities, and preventing future problems of this magnitude through disaster preparation.

(May 20) -- A Las Vegas woman is charged with murder Thursday night because police say she didn't give her 11-year-old diabetic daughter the insulin she needed to stay alive. Metro believes Ariel Botzet had diabetic testing equipment and insulin at her disposal, and neither was used in the days before her death on February 9.
The District Attorney David Roger blames Ariel's mother. "The mother either purposely abused her daughter by not paying attention to her insulin needs or neglected to pay attention."
Ariel's mother, Cheryl Botzet, contends the death was the result of the disease; not neglect, not murder. Herb Sachs is her attorney. "There was no premeditation, no deliberation, no intention, there was no killing."
"Certainly we see children presented for medical care where there's been a remarkable delay in seeking care." Doctor Neha Mehta sees medical neglect cases frequently at Sunrise Hospital. For some families a chronic illness, such as diabetes, becomes routine." As children grow older in their pre-teen and teen years there's an expectation they can manage their own illness."
"The diabetes will take control of them and it doesn't take long for that to become a fatal situation." Ted Garland has been diabetic for 35 years. "A day without insulin is extremely painful." Ted manages his illness. His twin brother Todd didn't and died five years ago. He sees history repeating itself with Ariel Botzet.
D.A. David Roger doesn't want to see it happen again. "We reviewed this carefully with all of our prosecutors and we felt that there was sufficient evidence to go forward with charges."
An arrest warrant has been issued for Cheryl Botzet. She is not in police custody Thursday night. Her attorney Herb Sachs tells Eyewitness News she plans to surrender to Metro detectives Friday morning.
Healthier food options are coming to the valley. Sprouts Farmers Market opens its fifth Las Vegas location Wednesday.

Hypo schmypo-the teenagers in the Passaic audience couldn't have cared less and only the Teaneck contingent evidenced any interest in the late Charlie. The inclusive imagery of the songs, concerned as it was with the locked in/locked out anxieties of the young, was something to get into. The folk, old-timey jazz, gospel and rock strains that interacted in the music were fresh and freewheeling. But just listen to her voice, they were whispering excitedly to each other, it's, like, incredible. And it was-a natural wonder of a voice, soaring as high as Minnie Riperton's and descending to a butch quasi-bass, capable of apparently infinite textural variation, from the gauziest of wisps to the balkiest of bellows, an obvious once-in-a-generation voice from the first note and an astoundingly artless-sounding voice as well. Leaping one and two octaves, floating through difficult chord patterns and hitting the most difficult intervals smack on target suddenly sounded as easy as singing "Frere Jacques" in grade school.
Plus, as Caroline Kennedy was heard to remark after Phoebe's one-night stand at New York's Bottom Line, "She was real." Somehow, after breeding hordes of singers who could only equate soul with blackface travesties of old blues or new R&B, suburbia had finally produced an honest soul style all its own. Phoebe sang with a gripping emotional intensity and she didn't have to ape black mannerisms to do it. It seemed to come naturally and how did she pull it off?
She was a mystery. There'd been no intimate interviews, no biographical sketches, just the voice and the songs coming over the radio more and more frequently until she had a single in the Top Ten and an album certified gold. There was some controversy as to the part her record label, Shelter, had played in her success, but it was undeniable that word-of-mouth enthusiasm had been an unusually important factor. Now there was a court action involving Phoebe, Shelter, Columbia Records and battalions of lawyers, and everyone associated with her was being very, very careful around the press. An injunction prevented her from recording for anyone and legal moves and counter moves tangled around her as she went out on this, her first national tour. She was an extraordinary lady, all right, and she was feeling extraordinarily hassled.
On the way back to Teaneck after the Passaic show she massaged Phil's neck from the back seat of the band's station wagon and ticked off a few of her gripes. No record company had been allowed to help her financially since the injunction and many, if not most, first tours are partially subsidized because they boost record sales. This tour was having to pay for itself and that meant driving to the East Coast gigs in the wagon, leading to frayed nerves and exhaustion. Jackson Browne had been great and his people were more than accommodating but "the audiences want to boogie. So I have to scream every nÈght to get them up off their asses, and I'm a jazz singer ... or a pop singer ... anyway, I'm not a rock singer. My album is like a ballad album and I'm really a sucker for that torchy stuff. Give me a strapless gown and a rhinestone-studded guitar and some 55-year-olds in my audience, along with their kids and grandkids. Don't give me 'boogie'!!" Then there was road food, half sugar and half chemicals, and "Teaneck, coming up." Incredible, right?
Teaneck looked like a suburban paradise of well-kept front lawns and one-family, one- and two-story houses, a far cry from Passaic's crumbling, post-industrial landscape. We turned a corner and, sure enough, found ourselves on a brightly lit thoroughfare lined by singles bars. The strip would probably have looked pretty chic around 11:00, but it was almost two and the singles who were still in the street weren't in control of their faculties. One lovely creature, braless in a sheer white blouse and oblivious to the spring chill, stepped off a curb and zombie-walked into our headlights. Her eyes were locked in straight-ahead position and she didn't seem to notice when Phil slammed on the brakes to avoid running her down.
Around half the bodies acted inhabited in the all-night deli restaurant at the end of the street. "This is the place," Phoebe said, "where you see everybody and hear everything." It seemed like a good place to find out a few details. "My parents. You want to know about my parents. Well...." She reached into her bulging purse, pulled out a wallet and opened it to a snapshot of a raven-haired, liquid-eyed young woman. "My mother," she explained. "Hot, right? She was in Martha Graham's dance company for a while and she used to go out on double dates with Marjorie Masia and Woody Guthrie, who were married later. There's an autographed copy of Bound for Glory at home; Guthrie wrote this long stream-of-consciousness rap to my mother in it. There was this Coney Island Guthrie bunch in those days, kind of like a bunch of hippies. They used to have hootenannies and tell tall tales. Anyway, when I was a kid I'd show the book to my friends, who wouldn't know who Guthrie was or what I was talking about. And I would wonder, you know, whether Woody Guthrie had had a proper education, 'cause he wrote kind of like a hick. My mother said, 'Oh yes, he was very well educated; he just adopted that style.'
"She met my dad at a party and they got married two weeks later! His father was in vaudeville and burlesque as a stand-up comic, and Dad was really into his little anecdotes about the theater. He was working for Viking Press for a while and into various other things. Now? He's an exterminator. He's been into jazz since Benny Goodman and the Swing era, and he still gets really wrapped up in listening to his jazz record collection. He turned me on to Django Reinhardt and Sidney Bechet when I was a little kid. Sometimes he gets into banjo bands strumming 'Wait till the Sun Shines, Nellie,' but basically he likes things like the live Carnegie Hall appearance of the Benny Goodman Quartet, which is fine with me."

The Secret Circle Episode 106
Written By: Andrea Newman
Directed By: Guy Bee
Original Airdate: 20 October 2011
In This Episode...
Nick's older brother, Jake, comes back to town for his brother's wake. Jake is widely despised and left town two years ago. Ethan employed him at the Boathouse, but then he stole everything and the bar nearly went under. Faye was in love with him, but he broke her heart and left her in such a shambles that she nearly had to be committed to a mental hospital. When the kids bound their circle, they weren't just binding the six of them together; they were binding bloodlines. Jake can take Nick's place in the circle.
Most of the witches are suspicious of Nick. Cassie sees him burning a crescent moon into his lawn one night; the next night, the same symbol is burned into the lawn in front of the abandoned magic house. Cassie is attacked in her home by a punky goth girl who has a dagger with the same crescent moon on the handle. Jake saves her and Cassie assumes this girl was the one who burned the symbols. Diana is grateful that Jake saved Cassie's life, but Adam and Faye are still anti-Jake.
And with good reason. Jake is actually working with the goth girl, Simone. Though he is a witch, he has joined up with a sect of witch hunters to get revenge for his family's deaths. He gets into a fight with Simone at her motel and takes the blood that she took from Cassie, saying it is too soon for a bloodletting. Simone pays Jake a visit during Nick's wake, determined to get back. Cassie sees the two fight and uses the crystal her grandmother gave her save Jake's life. After strong admonishments from grandma, she does not tell Jake that is how she was able to save him.
Also: Charles is still in shock over the fact that he killed Nick - a far cry from the dark man who killed a woman in order to orphan her daughter so she would move back to town. Ethan drunkenly tells Diana that he wishes she and Adam could stay together, but Adam is destined to be with Cassie. Diana breaks up with Adam - she has seen the way he looks at her - yet goes to Cassie to cry about it. Still not sure how she is mad at Adam and not mad at Cassie for the whole "destiny" thing.
Dig It or Bury It?
Then had me last week; now they have lost me again. We are back to teen angst set against dark forces. I feel like this episode - like most so far - have tried to impart so much backstory and history that it just ends up being very talky. Show, don't tell. Hell, I'll take flashbacks. In addition, these kids have got to get some better spells. They spend a hell of a lot of time talking about spells; not much time doing them. Then when they do spells, they are weak incantations like "No air for fire." Even Harry Potter got spells in a made-up language.
This Magic Moment
The crescents are ancient symbols of conquest, used to let a witch know they have been identified and "marked."
I Put a Spell on You
The only spellcraft this week is when the five remaining members of the circle run outside to take care of the crescent fire. "No air for fire" they chant a half-dozen times. The fire goes out. The end. Lame.
Next week is the Halloween episode. Regardless of plot, Halloween episodes are almost always better than regular episodes.

Marilyn Manning, a student in the Associate of Science in Nursing Program at Southwest Georgia Technical College (SWGTC), has been named SWGTC's Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL) winner for 2013. Manning was announced as the winner out of the four finalists at the Feb. 2 Thomasville Kiwanis Club meeting.
"I nominated Marilyn not only for her outstanding academic abilities, but also for the love she has for her patients while in the clinical setting," Tammy Bryant, SWGTC Associate of Science in Nursing Program Director and Manning's nominating instructor said. "She is going to be an amazing nurse because she is such a natural healer and truly enjoys caring for others. I am confident she will be a great ambassador for our college, technical education and the nursing profession."
Manning, a native of Athens, is set to graduate this May.
"I am so honored to have the opportunity to represent Southwest Georgia Technical College, and technical education as a whole, as this year's GOAL winner," Manning said. "Technical education is a very viable and practical option when it comes to higher education, and I want to 'spread the word.' My mission will be to inform others, especially potential students, how valuable technical education is and how it has impacted my life in a positive manner."
After 8.5 years working as a trained massage therapist, Manning decided to go to nursing school to deepen her knowledge of the healing process. Upon graduation she wants to pursue a nursing position in either obstetrics or inpatient rehabilitation. Her long-term goal is to get her Master's Degree in Alternative Medicine so that she can combine her training in massage and nursing to practice a more holistic approach to healthcare.
GOAL, which was established in 1971 by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), is an award that focuses on student excellence in technical education through academic excellence and personal achievement. According to Ellen Terrell, SWGTC GOAL Coordinator, teachers select students based on their leadership skills, academic accomplishments, career goals and personal goals.
The nominees made presentations to a Selection Committee and were evaluated on their leadership abilities, academic achievement, knowledge of technical education, and educational and career goals. Selection committee members for 2013 were Melanie Comerford, Jerry Cox, Nola Daughtery, Robert Dunn and Kathy Megahee, who also chaired the Committee.
After hearing all of the nominees, the Selection Committee chose Manning as this year's winner.
Manning will represent the College at the regional competition to be hosted at Moultrie Technical College (Tifton Campus) on Feb. 28. All regional winners will compete for the TCSG GOAL Winner title, which will be announced at the GOAL and Rick Perkins Award Ceremony on April 25, in Atlanta.
This TCSG GOAL Winner will serve as the state-wide representative and ambassador of technical education in Georgia for 2013. A new car will also be awarded to the state GOAL winner, who will make appearances throughout the year promoting technical education.
SWGTC offers more than 80 certificate, diploma, and degree programs. Many of these programs provide training for some of the nation's fastest-growing career fields including Nursing, Automotive Technology, Clinical Laboratory Technology, and Criminal Justice Technology. More information may be obtained by calling 229-225-4096 or by logging onto www.southwestgatech.edu.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
I have great faith in fools; self-confidence, my friends call it.
I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting, I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals - true equals - only when they both have equal confidence.
If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence you have won even before you started.
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. You may fool all of the people some of the time you can even fool some of the people all the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
In essence, the confidence is only a manifestation of irresponsibility.
It is expected from the government officials and the financial sector to selectively report on the good news to avoid investors panic and maintain confidence in the economy. Unfortunately building confidence has been the name of the game since the beginning of the crisis rather than real economic reforms.
Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
The worst thing that could happen to any economy is the loss of confidence. - [predicting the US economic crisis]
We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills we shall never surrender.
Who has confidence in himself will gain the confidene of others.
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
I have great faith in fools -- self confidence my friends call it.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.
There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity.
Countries that have strong pre-crisis macroeconomic metrics, rich natural resources and export-based industries have stronger recovery prospects. Strong budgets allow the government to stimulate the economy with less debt burden. Exports play a significant role in supporting a stable interest rate and ex-change rates thus renewing investors confidence and recovery.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
The man who has confidence in himself gains the confidence of others.
No matter how brilliant a man may be, he will never engender confidence in his subordinates and associates if he lacks simple honesty and moral courage.

My face burns red hot and I feel the sweat running down my back. I can't even escape this question at the dentist office.
"No." I laugh nervously. "Do you know anyone?"
Then I wait for the I-feel-bad-for-you look to end so I can gracefully change the subject or run out of there as fast as I can.
I cringe every time the dating question comes up. What is the big deal? Why do I let it bother me so much?
Well, because I'm a worrier.
Even though I'm 20 minutes early, I worry I won't catch my train. Even though my nephew plays Irish football all the time, I worry that he will break his wrist. Even though I am only in my early 30s, I'm afraid that I will be single forever!
Maybe this sounds dramatic, but I do worry. Why haven't I met someone? Did I miss God's plan for me?
I carry all this worry into the adoration chapel and kneel in front of the blessed sacrament shouting my questions and demanding answers. But I hear nothing.
I then decide to flip to the readings for the next day. The Gospel was from Matthew (6:24-34):
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, … Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? … But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil."
And then I knew I was exactly where I needed to be: At our Lord's feet, receiving his sweet consolation.
I was so focused on the day-to-day stresses that I forgot to put God first. His gentle reminder brought me a rush of peace. He was smiling down on me saying, "Don't worry. I know where we are going. Just follow me."
I don't know what bumps are on the road ahead. I don't know if I will be single tomorrow or for many tomorrows, but next time I hear the question, "Are you seeing anyone?" I'll know to say "I'm leaving it in God's hands and not worrying about tomorrow."
How about you? How do you answer the dating question?

I always give that exact same answer. .
God bless
How about something to this effect: I work always to be mindful of what the will of God may be, and so for that reason I ALWAYS have my eyes open. Do you ((the person querying you)) have anyone in mind to whom I might should be introduced ????
((I think you should always keep your eyes open whether you are "seeing someone" or not.))
I liked this article. It consoled me somehow. I had somehow forgotten about that passage. Now that I'm older(more mature I hope), I've discovered a new meaning in it. Thank you Robyn for this article. God bless!
You think like I do, and reading this may have just helped me figure something out and answer in a way you do when I am asked that question. Thank you for writing this.
Fantastic answer & such an encouraging post! Thanks for sharing…especially the reminder that putting God first always puts us in the right place at the right time!
God bless
I usually tell someone that it's in God's timing, and that the right Catholic male haven't surfaced for me here on earth. In Heaven,love will be perfect and pure and I won't be single in Heaven for sure!
Yeah when somebody ask's me are you seeing anyone? Your right its right up there; like gettin a "root canel" lol lol anyway; yeah it makes my hair on my back stand up (like a cat) i just answer and say no not at the moment; How about you? You seeing anyone; i steer the question right back at them; and if they keep asking me i just say taking it one day @ a time; i'am fine don't worry about me i'am fine! Thank you ver much! thats my two cents worth Mike "peace"!!
I was actually going through something very similar, and I did happen upon that passage as well! It makes you slow down and realize God has a plan and patience is a virtue.
Definitely God has a plan Steven! and big part of faith is trusting God when we don't understand, don't seem to make sense but one day it will make sense…but God truly has our best interest at heart.
I was worrying the same thing just this morning and talked about it with my other friend. And thanks so much for sharing the verse. But really, it's the waiting period that's the most difficult part of having FAITH. -__-
How does this advice from St. Augustine square with Matt 6:24-34 quoted above?
"Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you."
Saint Augustine
Great quote Stephen! I was talking about this very thing with my mom today.
Your post resonated with me as well, Robyn! Like you, I'm in my early 30′s and find myself single and getting many inquiries about that. I do say that I'm particular and that it is very tough out there. God does indeed have a plan for all of our lives and I pray for His divine will to be done in mine. I do struggle with worry and uncertainty, but I must have my faith trump those!
I love this article. I always say my life is in God's hand and all what happen in my life is on his plan so I don't need to worry. Though sometimes I'm asking myself when but I believe God has his own plan for my life and He will give me the best in His time.
That's a better response than I've been doing lately- rolling my eyes and walk away, seriously. It's not very nice, I know…
actually, I'm not worrying about tomorrow because i knew God set by it's own time.
Although i feel lonely but not alone..
I heard someone say "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans".
I'm definitely a worrier. New worries on the top of my list are: What if I never get married? What if God gives me someone who is not Catholic? What if he gives me someone 15+ years my senior? What if he gives me someone I am not attracted to? Attraction isn't everything, and a relationship should NOT be built around that, but I believe that God made us attracted to the opposite gender for a reason. What if he gives me someone I don't even love? What if he gives me someone I don't even LIKE? What if he gives me someone who doesn't even love or like me? A part of me wants to say that we are in control of our own destiny and good qualities and some preferences in a spouse should be there, but then we are supposed to pray for us to accept God's will and his divine plan. Then again I'm sure he wouldn't want me to not marry someone I don't want to, either. I'm so confused AND worried. I'm practically in TEARS!
Then again if I don't marry the person He set me up with it would be like I was saying no to God and His divine plan. I'd be disobeying God.
I am praying about it, though. I don't want to be angry with Jesus. I want to accept His will. I just hope the man God gives me has good qualities in him and loves me inside and out and I love him inside and out and he is a devout, praying Catholic.
This article was what i needed to read today.
There are few people who asked me:
Them: Are you into a relationship or dating?
Me: No. .
There's a follow up question after that.
Them: How come a pretty lady like you doesn't have a boyfriend?
Me: (My eyes widened and my mind wonder for a seconds and asked myself "Why?" ) I regained myself back to reality. I told them that right now I am happy being single. ( I didn't tell them that sometimes I am longing to have someone who will held my hand) It is not just the pretty face that matters but what's within.
Them: You are beautiful and kind and for sure that person is lucky to have you.
Me: Thank you! God has a plan for me and and I am patiently waiting for that man. ( talking to myself-hope I meet him soon. Hahaha! My wishful thinking)
That is a very good verse from Matthew. Appreciating the beauty around helped me to be more grateful. My mind was relieved of thinking too much for the future because it made me realized that God is taking care of the things around me even a minute particles, what more can He do for His daughter. Thank you for this article.

Lemurs lick lollies to keep cool at wildlife park
9:10am Saturday 28th July 2012 in News
LEMURS were lapping up ice lollies as summer finally arrived.
Chris Kibbey, head of primates at Cotswold Wildlife Park, said: "It is important to ensure our animals don't overheat. As well as providing them with plenty of shade and making sure they have access to water, we will often give them ice pops.
"The fruity treats are loaded with grapes and other fruit, topped up with water and frozen."
The parched primates, endemic to tropical Madagascar, normally eat fruit and insects, and are also known to feast on flowers.

Boredom can be a big problem for captive animals, so the keepers will do what they can to make life more interesting for the animals and one way is to make them work harder for their dinner: in this case they want the fruit but they have to get it out of the ice first. 'Ice lollies' are also fairly easy for the keepers to make (and they probably don't have nearly enough time to do this sort of thing except as an occasional treat).
On a visit to the Durrell Trust on Jersey a few years back I got the chance to help with a similar enrichment exercise for their aye-ayes: in that case we took kohlrabi, used a power drill to create lots of holes and in each hole put a maggot and then stoppered it up with cold porridge. That may not sound as appealing as 'ice lolly' does to us humans, but it really excited the aye-ayes as their normal diet consists in part of insects hooked out of deep crevices.

"The cinema inspired me to become a couturier, I owe it everything" - Jean Paul Gaultier
Lights, Camera, Gaultier! The Australian Centre for the Moving Image together with L'Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival present a film program dedicated to the career, creations and influences of the 'enfant terrible' of French fashion - Jean Paul Gaultier.
2010 marks forty years since Gaultier began his career in fashion at an after school job assisting designer Pierre Cardin and he is now not only one of the most infamous fashion designers but also one of the most revered Paris couturiers - rare for a self-taught designer. Gaultier and his designs are also interweaved throughout the history of popular culture; his Madonna's Blonde Ambition-era cone bras, the controversial skirts for men collection, as well as his stints as a presenter on cult UK TV show Eurotrash all confirmed him as a style icon. His designs have also been praised by a galaxy of starlets from Mickey Rourke to Marion Cotillard.
With Jean Paul Gaultier on Film, ACMI Film Programmer James Nolen has compiled a program that charts the course of Gaultier's career from his early inspirations to his most recent creations. "More than any other fashion designer working today, Jean Paul Gaultier has a deep connection to film. It was the French 1944 film Falbalas, filled with the work of couturier Marcel Rochas, which would inspire Gaultier to become a fashion designer. He continues to influence fashion and draws inspiration especially from the silver screen. This is a rare opportunity to explore the work of one of the great fashion designers, on the big screen and a world first!" said James.
The season opens with The Day Before: Jean Paul Gaultier (2009) which portrays the final hours before the Gaultier Haute Couture fashion show. Director Loic Prigent, a self-confessed fashion geek - who has previously followed Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs - spends 36 hours with Gaultier on the eve of his 2010 Autumn-Winter Haute Couture collection. A more significant collection could not be committed to film as Gaultier's designs pay tribute to cinema and its screen sirens including Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve and Mae West. The collection finishes with a wedding dress which just happens to resemble the one in Falbalas (1944) also screening in this season. Prigent commands access that would make the hair of any fashion aspirant stand on end, and takes pains to show the real life of fashion, as sublime, surreal, high-stakes and prosaic as it is, day-to-day.
As well as being inspired by film, Gaultier has himself been responsible for some significant on-screen moments including costumes for Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Dystopian French steam-punk feast The City of Lost Children (1995). Gaultier had previously contributed designs for Pedro Almodovar's Kika (1993) and Peter Greenaway's The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989) and would go on to create unforgettable costumes for Luc Besson's The Fifth Element (1997). The City of Lost Children and its dark disturbing world, inhabited by a little orphan girl, a sentimental strongman and dream-stealing mad scientist, was the first film to fully explore the vision of Gaultier.
Set in the milieu of a Parisian couturier, Falbalas is the film that would propel Gaultier to enter the world of fashion, eventually realising his dream of establishing his own line of haute couture in 1997. It has been called the greatest movie ever made about the fashion industry and Gaultier fondly remembers his own first viewing: "When I was nine or ten, I saw Falbalas, the film from the forties by Jacques Becker with Micheline Presle. The film was based on the atelier of Marcel Rochas and it portrayed 'maison de couture'. It was like a magic world had opened before me."
In an extraordinary turn of events, Micheline Presle's real life daughter, film director Tonie Marshall, captured the career of Gaultier in the documentary The Falbalas of Jean Paul Gaultier (2004), also screening in this season. This was the first documentary about Gaultier and Marshall retraces his private and professional development from his start at Pierre Cardin, to his first women's collection in 1977 and his infamous second collection for men in which he paraded skirts and set the tone for what was to come.
Enter the world of Jean Paul Gaultier, the designer who shook the world of fashion with such innovations as the tin can bracelet and corsets as outerwear, at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Jean Paul Gaultier on Film.
Jean Paul Gaultier on Film runs from Thursday 11 March - Friday 19 March at ACMI.

We all order too many girl scout cookies... but most of us just put on our stretchy pants and slowly force our way through all of our "extra boxes" like champs. Not the case apparently when it comes to the actual Girl Scout councils, who order the cookies from two contract bakeries each year. When they buy too many, they can return up to 1% of the surplus and not get charged for it. But then what becomes of them?
According to a video uncovered by CBS 2, this order of 1,100 cases (aka 13,200 boxes) of Girl Scout cookies was sent to be destroyed—crushed by a bulldozer before making its way to a landfill rather than a food bank. Deplorable. Inexcusable. And downright wrong.
The video was shot last May, but the CBS report says the practice has gone on for years. Chuck MacKinnon of San Gorgonio Girl Scouts Council in Redlands claims he was unaware that this was what happened with unsold boxes, going on to explain that he didn't feel this was the "Girl Scout way" and that he wanted to ensure it would never happen again.

Mac Tools U.S. Nationals
Smith looking to stay on top
Smith sits atop the Championship point standings by 73 points over Andrew Hines and he wants it to stay that way as Indy is the last race before the Countdown begins.
"Indy is huge," said Smith. "Not only because it is the U.S. Nationals, but because it is the last race to secure your spot in the Countdown and if we can stay No. 1 that is 30 extra points. Thirty points is a lot when you look at it in the long run. We will take it one round at a time, but hopefully we can make it stand when the weekend is over."
Smith has not only won three of the last four races on tour, but the last two consecutive races, Smith has totally dominated. Smith has been in three consecutive finals at the U.S. Nationals and won "The Big Go" in 2006, so needless to say the Champ has pretty good stats heading into Indy this weekend.
Not only does Smith have momentum and stats on his side, but the red-hot Red Bull athlete Scott Speed will be along side Smith all weekend as well.
Smith will also compete in the Ringers Gloves Pro Bike Battle on Saturday for his chance at a substantial purse. Smith accumulated points in qualifying over the last year and qualified himself in the second position for the

Intake Manifold leaking antifreeze - advice needed about repair
Hello all. My '98 Silverado (5 liter, V-8, 142k miles) is leaking a small amount of antifreeze at the intake manifold. I'm pretty sure I have some oil showing up on my radiator, too - or it realy needs to be flushed. I'm a pretty good weekend mechanic, but this will be getting into something I've never done. It sounds easy enough - get everything out of the way, remove probably 6 or 8 bolts that hold the intake manifold on the engine, get the old gasket off and clean that surface, install new gasket and use a torque wrench to reinstall intake manifold. Suggestions? Am I on the right track? Hopefully I don't also have to remove valve covers or anything else? I didn't see any threads here addressing this, but I am wiling to do plenty of research before I began rather than screw something up.
Other thing I'm wondering about is: products on the market, i.e., "Thermagasket" and others. I'm concerned that although these products might fix my leak, isn't there a good possibility that they'll gum-up other parts like maybe my water pump?
Thanks for your help.
Where do you have antifreeze on the intake? Can you take a picture? If it is all original, it is unlikely to get an antifreeze leak there,, unless things are so corroded that metal/aluminum has eaten away enough. It is likely a heater hose connection, thermostat housing or radiator hose.
If you do pull the intake, you are on track with your thoughts above, but it is usually easier to do with valve covers off. You also need to pull the distributor.Mark

The antifreeze I see is in the front, underneath the thermostat housing. The guy that inspected the truck in December also told me antifreeze was leaking at the "intake." Maybe it is an easier repair and I'm anticipating worse case scenario. I can take a pic, but not sure how good it wil turn out. Is there a way to figure this out or no I need to just start taking stuff off until I figure it out?

It is probably the common intake gasket failure caused by extended life coolant. The EL coolant eats the gasket material over time. Don't ever use any kind of "leak sealer" on ANYTHING... EVER!
It is not that big of a deal to do the intake gasket. If you have never done one before, make sure to take note of how everything comes apart and make every effort to put everything back without haveing any "spare parts" left over when you are done. Take your time and pay attention to what you are doing and you should be fine."It went together didn't it? Well then there has to be a way to take it apart!" - Me.
Check out my image gallery HERE.
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." ~Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
If it is under your thermostat housing, I would start with pulling the thermostat, replacing with new one and re-gasket that. Also, check your thermostat housing for corrosion, and your radiator hose.
In fact, you might try tightening your upper radiator hose anyway. I have seen plenty of them leak a little that would drip down the thermostat housing and to top front of engine.
if you do end up replacing the gaskets make sure you get the new updated green ones ;02004 gmc sierra ext z71 5.3

This was a refreshing change of pace as far as side dishes go-the recipe says to bake for 20-25 minutes; however, I had mine in at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes because the spaghetti was still crunchy. Still, this is a definite keeper.
Baked this again, after several years. PERFECT. hints**.....do not use as much margarine, do not drain the corn, cook spaghetti about half down BEFORE mixing it all together, use and extra cup of CHEESE..preferably something with a little kick, like extra sharp cheddar, and MAKE SURE you stir all the spaghetti into it every so often so none of it comes up to the top, sticks out, and turns into a spear to bite on. It WILL stay soft if you make sure it stays submerged. Great recipe!
Contrary to several other reviews, this was quite good and filling. I followed the recipe except, I used butter (no margarine here). One note that may make a HUGE difference -- It's a bit confusing (at least to me) when in the ingredients, it calls for 1/2 a box of spaghetti, but in the directions it calls for ONE CUP of broken spaghetti. USE ONE CUP OF BROKEN SPAGHETTI. I used Barilla Angel Hair Pasta and it came out perfectly cooked throughout. I probably did cook it for @45 minutes but it was yummy!!! I'm having it for lunch today, reheated, as there are only 2 of us eating. Thank you Molly.

Federal Drive interviews -- May 30
Wednesday - 5/30/2012, 9:23am EDT
Today's guests:
Two female Army officers have filed a lawsuit against the Defense Department for banning women from combat. They call the policies unconstitutional and say their careers have been stunted because of them. They claim some women are actually in more danger because they're denied combat training but wind up in the battle anyway. David Berteau offers his take on the case.
Surveys show federal senior managers are not thrilled about their salary freezes. But pay is more or less the same no matter what agency you work for. That means other factors enter into work and job satisfaction. A Partnership for Public Service report is out this morning with a comprehensive look at pay and benefit satisfaction among you and your colleagues.

More SESers say pay, benefits not attractive enough
A new report shows veterans are waiting longer for disability benefits, despite recent attempts by Veterans Affairs and the Defense Department to speed up the process. Veterans are growing frustrated and concerned. They're not the only ones. Lawmakers are taking VA to task as veterans return home from war with pressing mental-health needs. Jeremy Herb, who covers veterans' issues for The Hill newspaper, discusses the issues and ideas floating around Capitol Hill.
VA exaggerated how quickly it saw mental-health patients, report finds
The Environmental Protection Agency is working to find jobs for vets in a field you might not have thought about — water and wastewater management. It's a joint effort between the EPA and the Department of Veterans Affairs to open up opportunities in an industry where demand for labor is growing.

I now say CK's idea was useful which, why disagree? He's freakin' epci!I gave what the man wanted, useful advise. Im a pro on boxing, have around 2400 on it...im past that box thing.I still think he should do it my way and just act like he wanted her to win "Oh BoZ...... You're soooooo thoughtful, and manly... Oh BoZ...." XDDDDD I wish she would tell me that, but all I get is "Damit Allan, you suck! Get the **** out of here! Ughhhh!"
Haha. I find it funny that you come to a forum just to beat your wife at a game. In boxing try dodging the shot. To dodge you put the wii motes together and move side to side. If you get a good dodge the screen goes slow..then thats your time to get a well punch in. Also change positions when you fighting. Like if your only hitting the face, goes down to the stomach. You do that by simply bringing the wii motes down to your waste/stomach. Punch from there or block from there. You block by putting the wii moted together. To put in a well put in punch that takes like about 3 of those triangles. You have to hit from the outside. By spreading your wiimotes a bit.Then curve and hit.
In tennis im no good. I just hit the ball when it comes to me. Dont really have a stratigea there.:/.
On topic: Also there is a way to jab, you bring your wiimotes down to the stomach, and actually do like an uppercut with nimchuck or wiimote.

November 5, 2003 Dawson-- A proposed zoning ordinance that would have required permits for almost all gatherings in Terrell County has been shot down. The ordinance called for anyone planning outdoor events on private property to pay fifty dollars for a permit.
But county commissioners agreed with the people that it hinged on violating constitutional rights.
It was standing room only at the final public hearing on a controversial zoning ordinance. People there were upset, "We have the right to assemble in this country. We don't need a permit. There are too many laws on the books now," says Jack Hufstetler.
The County Commission agreed, after listening to a half dozen people complain about the proposed ordinance they voted to send the Zoning Commission back to the drawing board.
Chairman Wilbur Gamble says, "I also want some clarification that it won't drop down and interfere with people having a family reunion picnic or something of a smaller nature. You see right now that's not the intent, but you may have a different person serving the board later and they might have a different idea about it."
Chamber President Paul Rakel also challenged the ordinance, "While we support the idea of controlled growth and the concept of what the board was trying to do we felt the requirements in it could be changed to be more friendly to business development."
Now, businesses like the Sasser Flea Market and Mark's Melon Patch, which both draw crowds this time of year, can carry on without potentially expensive and time restrictive permits.
Sasser Flea Market owner Dee West calls the decision a small victory, "I think so, I think it has brought attention to the residents of Terrell County to see how ridiculous this zoning ordinance was written."
Now, the ordinance will be re-written-- and this time, the Chamber of Commerce and business owners plan to be a part of the process.
The Planning and Zoning Board Chairman says the intention was not to hurt business or restrict people, but to encourage controlled growth in Terrell County.

Today, July 11, is National Collector Car Appreciation Day across the U.S. That means...
Bugatti Galibier 16C teased in extended YouTube clip
The Bugatti 16C Galibier was introduced to the United States at the Los Angeles auto show in 2009. It featured the same 16-cylinder engine as the Veyron with the same 1000-hp-or-so output.
We didn't hear much about the car until last April when Bloomberg news reported that parent company VW OK'd plans to build the ultra-luxury sedan. The report said that Bugatti and Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer had been pushing for the car to be made since his arrival.
We experienced radio silence on the car for almost a year until yesterday, when the company uploaded a near five-minute video on YouTube extolling the virtues of the mythical beast.
The video is full of symbolism and metaphors and an awful lot of fuzzy detailed shots of the car. We're not sure if this is a good sign for the Galibier. But more 1,000-plus hp cars are okay in our book.

God of War set the bar for this genre and Clash of the Titans takes it ten years back.
We like
- The simple and accessible control scheme
We dislike
- The slog of having to plough through brain-dead enemies by button mashing
- The recycled, bland environments
- The sub-par graphics, animations and A.I.

You can pretty much guarantee that with every big budget blockbuster film comes its hastily bodged together videogame counterpart, a quick cash in preying on those who enjoyed the movie and assume that the spin-off will capture some of that very same magic and be equally as entertaining.

Register-Herald Reporter
Day of Hope started out with goals of 750 volunteers, 3,000 guests and 35,000 pounds of donated food, but just after 1 p.m. Saturday, those goals were exceeded.
Nearly 1,000 volunteers came out to support the Beckley Day of Hope at the YMCA Paul Cline Youth Soccer Complex, and over 3,150 people participated in the event.
The event provided free food, as well as medical and dental services to anyone who was in need.
Pastor John Jordan with Calvary Assembly of God got in touch with Convoy of Hope, a nonprofit organization that provides resources to help communities meet physical and spiritual needs, to coordinate the event.
"I've had a desire and a dream to do this for 10 years," Jordan said.
"It's been an amazing, surreal and incredible experience."
He said "you have to be blind" not to see the need in the community.
"It's not just Beckley, it's everywhere. People are having hard times across the board."
He said all the people he had the privilege of speaking with were very appreciative and thankful for the Day of Hope.
"We thank them, too — they're the whole reason we're here."
The Wallace family certainly had a fun-filled day, as they were all smiles after having a family portrait taken.
"We heard about the event through our church," Todd Wallace said.
His wife, Rachel Wallace, and their kids, Neighla, 10, and Heccakyah, 8, enjoyed coming out and spending some quality family time together.
"It's great to have fun, to see diversity and to see everybody come together," Wallace said.
The kids especially enjoyed the "Kids Zone," where they played in the bounce house, slid down the slide and even got their faces painted.
The event was filled with local volunteers from 15 churches and a host of various businesses and organizations, but one young volunteer hailed all the way from South Africa.
Fresh out of high school, soccer player Dundas Clark said he is staying with an American family in Daniels while he works with Convoy of Hope.
"It's always nice to serve and to work with kids," Clark said.
"It's wonderful to serve Jesus."
Over 750 people took advantage of free health services offered at the event — everything from dental and vision screenings to mental health and diabetes education.
Wes Dangerfield and Pastor Jason Lowe helped organize the medical staff on site Saturday.
Sam's Optical offered the eye screenings, Beckley ARH and FMRS provided mental health education, and dentist Dr. Greg Harvey and Dr. Brett Eckley were on site for dental screenings.
Local LPNs were also on site to offer their services.
"We feel from a church perspective, that's what were here to do. We're here to help," Lowe said.
"There are so many volunteers, so many physicians, and it's great to see them volunteer their time."
Dangerfield added, "It's a tremendous blessing."

At my workplace, we had competition for Slogan writing in following categories:
- "I Proud to be an Indian"
- "Our Motherland, Our India"
Both the topics were thought provoking for me, as 60 years of republic, India was moving forward showing its prowess to all the developed nations.
I was thinking what was were my feeling strong for, Indian pride, or motherland?
I choose writing slogan for "Indian", and went through with wining the competition.
The entry that got awarded was
Shine bright by doing just right
Knowing our rights we lead a fight
Aiming high and taking greatest flight
Each Indian leads with a pride and might
Making sure that I don't miss the every word I felt for India, I wrote and wrote …
I made and attempt and within an hour I wrote 4 slogans for the same.
First :=>
For you we rise
For you we fall
Entire life we salute you TALL
Hey Tricolor you bring together us ALL
Second : =>
We heard a Call we heard a Cry
We saw those with the devils Eye
We Slay them left Slay them right
Think of an Indian Before you start a Fight
Third :=>
It's Now or Never
Just do it for better
Let's show how clever
Indians are forever
Passing all the entries to the competition i was hoping that strike a Indian chord in each one . . .

Outstanding article!! However, I got the feeling there is much more to this story than was presented this first run. Since reading this article I began to some research and find it all very compelling. Not many stories on this subject capture my attention and leave me intrigued. I look forward to (if there is one) a follow up to this story, as my simple Internet research on this story shows me there are many layers to this. I applauded Metro pulse for taking a step outside of the norm to run such a story. You have captured this reader's attention.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Shahidah Jackson
Wilder M.S., physical education
Shahidah Jackson's smile has been brightening Wilder Middle School since the school opened its doors for the first time in 1998.
Jackson is a physical education teacher at the school, but her influence extends well beyond gymnasium walls and playing fields, according to those who know her.
"She is always willing to help every student and teacher with any problems or needs that may arise," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "Any time you walk by this teacher, she finds a way to put a smile on your face."
Jackson fills her days with school-related activities that extend well beyond class hours.
As a cheerleading coach during nearly her entire tenure at Wilder, she has worked with students after school and has helped provide an outlet for some who might have chosen the wrong path otherwise.
"During tryouts, she makes a point to have someone on her team that some would consider 'troublesome' in school, and to keep this student on the right path throughout the school year," a nominator wrote. "I feel that is tremendous dedication to the students, for many teachers try to avoid these students in our school. But Mrs. Jackson always finds the good in all of the students at Wilder.
"She tries to provide her cheerleaders with as many opportunities as possible by going out of her way to take these students to competitions and to provide team bonding times, even if it means opening the doors to her home."
Jackson co-founded the school's C.L.A.S.S.Y. organization (Creating Ladylike Attitudes for Sophistication and Success) for teenage girls. The club provides mentoring and life skills for its participants and is designed to develop strong citizens in and out of the classroom, while showing participants how they can have a positive impact on the community.
"At this level with students, all they need is someone that will show them attention and keep them motivated, grounded and give them encouragement to stay focused," Jackson says. "So each year, I challenge myself to help out as many students as possible. I feel rewarded each day when I enter the building and I am greeted with hugs and smiles. [It feels great] to know that the students feel that I genuinely care and love each one of them, and I get the same in return."
Jackson also is a frequent volunteer at other school events and serves as a sponsor for other clubs at Wilder as well.
In addition to her broad range of involvement at the school, colleagues also describe Jackson as an active volunteer away from school in the Eastern Henrico community.
"Everyone knows this teacher for her generosity, caring and relentless unselfish attitude," one wrote. "Any time a student, teacher, or administration needs something, she never fails and is always there wherever needed."

Western Henrico Rotary helps fund Midwives For Haiti Jeep
Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

Waters sports firm and former director to face trial over 11-year-old Mari-Simon Cronje's death
Updated 12:37pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News
A water sports club and its director are to face trial over the death of an 11-year-old girl killed after being struck by a speedboat.
Mari-Simon Cronje, from Putney Common, was killed during a birthday celebration at Princes Sporting Club, in Bedfont, Middlesex, on September 10, 2010, after falling from an inflatable banana boat.
She was hit by the speedboat that was towing the giant inflatable.
Princes Sporting Club face corporate manslaughter charges under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
Former director Frederick Glen Walker, 49, from Cobham, also faces charges under the same act.
Both parties pleaded not guilty to the charges
Immediately after the incident, a family friend swam over to help Mari-Simon, a pupil at Roehampton's Ibstock Place School, but she fell unconscious and died later in hospital from severe leg injuries.
Speaking at Westminster Magistrates' Court this morning (February 19), chief magistrate Howard Riddle said: "This is a very tragic case, tragic for everyone involved."
The trial will take place at Southwark Crown Court on April 26.
