These Beautiful Bridges Are Just For Animals
by Jess Zimmerman
If we're going to keep putting roads in the middle of their habitats, animals are sometimes going to need to cross the road. But it's better for everyone involved if they don't have to push a button and wait for the light to change, because they don't have thumbs and nine times out of 10 they'll just careen into the side of your car. Which is why some highways have overpasses built specifically for animals like deer, elk, and grizzly bears.
Nobody teaches moose pedestrian etiquette like "look both ways," but they figure out pretty quickly that crossing the terrifying asphalt river is safer if you take the beautiful grassy bridge. That's just my guess at a moose's internal life, but there's data too: In Banff National Park in Canada, animals have used the six overpasses and 35 underpasses more than 200,000 times since monitoring began in 1996…

Our Brand New iPhone app launches on August 5th 2013
Yes!!! We finally decided to spill the beans on the launch of our very own app. We have been working hard on it for quite a while now and have been putting it together, trying to make sure that the experience one would get out of the app would be fruitful and a blessing. We are super proud to say that launch into the iTunes App Store is just around the corner and will hit the store on the 5th of this month. We will be posting the links to the store once the app goes live.
We created the app with all of our christian community in mind. Our goal and mission is to spread the message of God throughout the globe in any way we can find possible and this app is just the beginning of something new for all of us. We made this just for you, so please do check it out. Ofcourse we are newbies into this whole field of app development and such and therefore we would love to receive feedback from you in regards to the app- how we could improve and what we could add to it that would help make the app a better experience for all of you. Our Ask box is always open so do drop by and let us know what you think. We would appreciate that very much.
With that being said, we have given our blog a facelift and if you pop into the blog, it'll be the first thing you notice. We thought that we like to give Walk the Same some unique branding and one that would be long lasting. We still do have a couple of wrinkles to iron out but we are trying to do it all nice and slow.
Also, we have an awesome new addition to our team. Her name is Autumn and she is super awesome. We are super excited to see how her series - Morning Joys, unfold. We are so glad and blessed to have her with us and we look forward to seeing more from her on Walk the Same.
Last but not least, we want to thank God for all the Blessings that He has poured on all of us, our team and our ministry. He has been moving us so radically over the last few months and weeks and it has been such an amazing journey. We are so privileged to serve God and the community through Walk the Same and it has opened doors for all of us here. We have moved forward so much and continue to push forward.
God is Amazing. God is Fantastic. God is Powerful and God answers Prayers.
We wish all of you a wonderful weekend up ahead. We love you very much, God loves your more than you can ever dream and may He Bless you and keep you all the days of your life.
With Love and Blessings,
Walk the Same team

"If you are the Son of God…" (Matthew 4:3).
Satan came to tempt Jesus and question his sonship. There is no sin in being tempted, for the perfect Jesus was "one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Heb. 4:15). Temptation does not necessitate sinning; Jesus was tempted, "yet without sin." Not even the worst forms of it involve sin. Jesus endured the subtlest of temptations from the evil one himself.
Solitude will not prevent temptation. It may even aid it as Jesus was tempted while alone in the wilderness. Also, fasting and prayer will not always keep off the tempter for these had been fully and perfectly observed by Christ.
Satan began the whole series of his temptations by casting a doubt upon Jesus' sonship. Has the enemy tried this with you? Has he tried to cast doubt on your salvation or your status as son or daughter of God?
God had but one Son without sin, but he has none without temptation.
Satan does not come with point-blank denial for that would be too startling; doubt and deception serve Satan's purposes better than heresy. He opens with an "If" making the doubt look like holy anxiety concerning divine sonship. Yet, Jesus' sonship is made clear in scripture (Ps. 2:7) and the Father had just pronounced him as his beloved Son (Mt. 3:17). Satan tries to make us doubt what God has told us is true.
Jesus faced these subtle yet massive temptations right after a major monument in his life, his own baptism where all of the Trinity was present. If Jesus' perfect character was doubted, how well may Satan question us whose faults are so many?
Listen to how Satan can further support his temptation with Jesus' circumstances, "You are alone. Would a Father desert his child? You are in a desert. Is this the place for God's Son? You are with the wild beasts. Wretched company for the Son of God! You are hungry. How can a loving Father let his perfect Son hunger?" Put all these together, and the tempter's question comes home with awful force to one who is hungry and alone.
Satan attacks our Father's honor and tempts us to doubt God's providence and call on our life. He attacks our comfort and strength as members of the heavenly family. If robbed of our sonship, we would be naked, poor, miserable orphans with no home. How could we pray, "Our Father" (Matthew 6:9). How can we say with patience, "Father, thy will be done," (Luke 22:4) if we are not his sons? Doubt of sonship leaves us naked to the enemy.
Jesus trusts the Father and overcomes the temptation. He does not give in, and he never gave in or gave up on his way to Calvary to pay for our sins and the times when we give in. When tempted, we must trust the Father's words and promises as Jesus did when he was tempted. Satan only questions truth for he is the father of lies (John 8:44). Therefore let us stand strong in the truth that we are sons and daughters of God not because of our work, but because of Jesus' finished work on the cross.
Satan does not come with point-blank denial for that would be too startling; doubt serves Satan's purposes better than heresy.
After temptation passes, it is usually the prelude to angels coming and ministering to us as in Christ's case (Mark 4:39). No calm is so deep as that which follows a great storm. When we see others thus tried, do we think them brothers? Do we not question their sonship as Job's friends questioned him? What wonder it would be if we instead encouraged one another with truth and gospel!
What force there is often in a single "If," with which this artful address begins! It was employed by Satan for the purpose of insinuating into the Savior's mind a doubt of his being in reality the special object of his Father's care, and it was pronounced by him, as we may well suppose, with a cunning and malignant emphasis.
How different is the use which Jesus makes of this word "If" in those lessons of divine instruction and heavenly consolation, which he so frequently delivered to his disciples when he was on earth! He always employed it to inspire confidence, never to excite distrust. Take a single instance of this: "If God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" What a contrast between this divine remonstrance and the malicious insinuation of the great enemy of God and man! —Daniel Bagot.
God had but one Son without sin, but he has none without temptation. Such is Satan's enmity to the Father that the nearer and dearer any child is to him, the more Satan will trouble and vex him with temptations. None so well-beloved as Christ, none so much tempted as he. —Thomas Brooks.
Satan does not come to Christ with, "You are not the Son of God," or "That voice which gave you that testimony was a lie or a delusion." No, he proceeds by questioning, which seems to grant that Jesus was the Son of God, that he might possibly beget a doubt in Jesus' mind.
—Richard Gilpin.

Matthew 4:19 - And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Conversion is most fully displayed when it leads converts to seek the conversion of others: we most truly follow Christ when we become fishers of men. Our desire should be to be men-catchers; and the way to attain to that sacred art is to be ourselves thoroughly captured by the great Head of the College of Fishermen. When Jesus draws us we shall draw men.

Do not lean on the flesh
A convoy on many accounts would have been desirable for the pilgrim band, but a holy shamefacedness would not allow Ezra to seek one. He feared lest the heathen king should think his professions of faith in God to be mere hypocrisy, or imagine that the God of Israel was not able to preserve his own worshipers. He could not bring his mind to lean on an arm of flesh in a matter so evidently of the Lord, and therefore the caravan set out with no visible protection, guarded by him who is the sword and shield of his people.
It is to be feared that few believers feel this holy jealousy for God, and even those who in a measure walk by faith, occasionally mar the luster of their life by craving aid from man. It is a most blessed thing to have no props and no buttresses, but to stand upright on the Rock of Ages, upheld by the Lord alone. Would any believers seek state endowments for their church, if they remembered that the Lord is dishonored by their asking Caesar's aid? As if the Lord could not supply the needs of his own cause! Should we run so hastily to friends and relations for assistance if we remembered that the Lord is magnified by our implicit reliance upon his solitary arm?
My soul, wait only upon God. "But," says one, "are not means to be used?" Assuredly they are, but our fault seldom lies in their neglect; far more frequently it springs out of foolishly believing in them instead of believing in God. Few run too far in neglecting the creature's arm, but very many sin greatly in making too much of it.
Learn, dear reader, to glorify the Lord by leaving means untried, if by using them you would dishonor the name of the Lord.

In your want to be accepted, do you feel the pressure to change who you are?
Ever tried to change your personality or who you are in general just to mesh in with a group of people? Have you tried to do something impressive, something that you wouldn't usually do so that you can gain the approval of your peers
My answer to both of those questions is a huge Yes. What about you? I am sure that many of us would say yes to either of those questions as well. The reason why we do this is because we all crave the need to be accepted and wanted by society. This is something that you and I struggle with. This struggle is not just limited to Christians.
Be cautious though, there are dangers trying to fit in
For the sake of example, if someone were to ask me if being friends with a non-Christian an okay thing to do, my answer would be a Yes. I have wonderful people in my life who aren't Christians. As a Christian, one of the essential things that you need to expose yourself is community and by that I mean Christian community. But that does not mean you should limit your friendships to Christians. It can be a test of your faith to be friends with a non-Christian (on some occasions), but eventually, you'll be a person with your faith strengthened more than ever.
However one thing you got to keep in mind is that trying to fit yourself into a group of people who share different values and principles can be problem and it can be critical later down the road. For you. When hanging around folk that do not share the same values as you do, you have to be extra careful not to abandon everything that you believe in, even though sometimes you may feel that it is the only option that you have in order to be accepted into that group.
Boundaries are something that we got to keep clear perspective on and in our want to fit in with society around us, we turn a blind eye to it and we make not realize that we stepped out of the line before it is too late. There may be moments where we may be tempted to do things that the Bible explicitly says that isn't good for our Christian life and our relationship with God, like excessive drinking, drugs, sex (meaningless and sex before marriage) and the like just so that we can get the nod of approval from those around us. Some non-Christians may think this is cool, God doesn't.
NO! A word that you shouldn't be afraid to say
In order to take a stand on all that we believe in, we will have to say No.
Now if these friends of yours get all wack when you say No and decide to turn against you and reject you, then are they really your friends? Friends are gifts from God and they are people who live life with us, lifting us up and encouraging us all the way just like we would do for them. So just be yourself and be all you when you are trying to fit in. Life would be much more easier and comfortable rather than trying to pretend to be someone you are not.
Umm Boundaries? How do I go about that?
Well boundaries aren't the same for all of us and are most likely to be unique depending on the situations that we live life in. However there are some important things that you could think about when you work on setting the boundaries into your life:
Friendships are awesome. So work on the good ones
We all need friendships and I think it is essential for all of us. However, friendships can't be built upon the foundation of a lie because sooner or later, that foundation will give away and your friendship will meet an irreparable fate. Great friendships are born by being true to ourselves and allowing God to simply pour out of us in everything that we do, from our words to our actions.
Once we have found those friends who accept us for who we are, that's when the best part begins- fellowship. Fellowship is such a wonderful thing in friendship because it strengthens bonds and gives us this sense of accountability towards each other. This is important for every Christian.
Well then how far is too far?
Well the answer is simple- Not far at all. Sometimes, to be the outsider is the most safest and wisest thing for you to do, even though it may hurt you to see yourself as such. When it comes to acceptance, what should matter is that of God's. If the whole world accepts us and if God doesn't, what purpose is there for us in our lives? Nothing!
God does not want us to be more so like the world and have us fit in. What He wants is for us to fit into Him and for us to be more like Him.
I say this every time in most of my writings, but things of this earth are short lived and nothing on this earth lives to exist forever. This is enough reason for us to realize that we shouldn't let the fear of acceptance and rejection ruin the purpose that God has given to each one of us. The world us such a dark place and darkness is no fun at all. Instead, be the light of the world and shine that light in all the dark places so that people around you may also realize that what really matters is fitting into God and not into society.
This is my prayer for all of you today. God loves you and I love you all too.
Many Blessings,

"The power of the Holy Ghost." Romans 15:13
Suggested Further Reading: Acts 2:1-21
In a few more years—I know not when, I know not how—the Holy Spirit will be poured out in a far different style from the present. There are diversities of operations; and during the last few years it has been the case that the diversified operations have consisted in very little pouring out of the Spirit. Ministers have gone on in dull routine, continually preaching—preaching—preaching, and little good has been done. I do hope that perhaps a fresh era has dawned upon us, and that there is a better pouring out of the Spirit even now. For the hour is coming, and it may be even now is, when the Holy Spirit shall be poured out again in such a wonderful manner that many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased—the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the surface of the great deep; when his kingdom shall come, and his will shall be done on earth even as it is in heaven. We are not going to be dragging on for ever like Pharaoh with the wheels off his chariot. My heart exults and my eyes flash with the thought that very likely I shall live to see the out-pouring of the Spirit; when "the sons and the daughters of God again shall prophecy, and the young men shall see visions, and the old men shall dream dreams." Perhaps there shall be no miraculous gifts—for they will not be required; but yet there shall be such a miraculous amount of holiness, such an extraordinary fervour of prayer, such a real communion with God and so much vital religion, and such a spread of the doctrines of the cross, that everyone will see that verily the Spirit is poured out like water, and the rains are descending from above. For that let us pray: let us continually labour for it, and seek it of God.
For meditation: Spurgeon saw answers to his prayers in the 1859 revival. What are your visions for revival? Lots of excitement with extravagant claims that the Holy Spirit is involved? Or a genuine work of the Spirit which speaks for itself in real conversions, true fellowship and godly living (Acts 2:37-47)?

Should we as Christians uphold the whole You Only Live Once motto?
I remember when YOLO got itself into the trend and the hype still hasn't died down. To date you see a lot of YOLO references around, be it social media, the hashtags, tattoos and even on food packaging (Oh yes!). YOLO has been embraced by so many people because the context behind it is that life is only a one time thing and you got to do what you got to do to live it up to the fullest.
But what does YOLO really mean for people who've accepted it into their philosophy? I guess people have adopted different meanings of it. Some take it as an excuse to do whatever they want. Others have taken the idea of simply living in the moment without any consequence. Some have even gone as far as to not take into account the consequence of others.
YOLO and Beyond
YOLO is not entirely false when compared with what the Bible has to say. If you take a look at part of Hebrews 9:27, it mentions that "… people are destined to die once." That bit alone is self explanatory when it comes to understanding that life here on earth is a one time thing.
However don't get excited just yet because, in order to get some context from that verse, we got to explore the verse in its entirety. "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgement."
That just slaps the face of YOLO straight on. This verse is clear when it comes to saying that there ARE consequences involved in life. There will be that point when we will be judged for our actions and our response to the love that God has shown to all of us through His son Jesus Christ. To think that we are the masters of our own lives is to go against the very essence of what the Bible has to tell us and YOLO is most certainly no winner against the Bible.
Where do you stand with YOLO?
Have you ever given it much thought when you mention or hash tag YOLO? I suggest that you do when you decide to include it in one of your posts. Remember that there are consequences that follow for every thing that you do and you can either follow the hip statement that YOLO has to promote or you can follow and walk the same way as Jesus Christ did where there is sure hope and love waiting for you. God cares about what we do because He loves us and He wants us to live our one life in union with Him.
So maybe the next time you decide to hashtag a post, why not tag it with something even more cooler like #YOGO ( You Obey God Only) as mentioned by MC Jin). Since we all live only once, why not live giving Glory to our God who loves us so much that He sent His only son to set us free from sin.
My prayer to all of you today is that the Spirit lead you to seeing the truth apart from the lies the world has to share. God loves you and I love you too and I pray that your intimacy with Jesus Christ becomes stronger more than anything else in the world. Your life will never be the same again.
Many Blessings,

Savoy Theatre
152-04 Jamaica Avenue,
2 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 50 comments
Slight error in the robboehm comment of 3/8/14. Fox's Jamaica Theatre never had a name change. It was the Jamaica Theatre for its entire existence. The Cort / Carlton Theatre was located some 20 blocks east on Jamaica Avenue.
The commentary says the, at that time, Rialto, was the first theatre to be wired for sound in Queens. There was also a claim that the Arion in Middle Village was. Comments on the Arion site would lead one to believe that neither had that distinction. Inasmuch as "The Jazz Singer" opened at Fox's Jamaica (later called the Cort and Carlton), it would seem that the Rialto (Savoy) was not even the first in Jamaica. When the renovated, renamed theatre opened in December, 1929 it boasted a new Western Electric sound system. Would that have been done if one had been put in place only a short time before when talkies first came out?
Can't believe they were taking phone reservations in 1920! Seating capacity was greater as the Rialto than the Savoy. Somewhat surprising figuring the former also accommodated a 25 piece orchestra and a "gigantic pipe organ".
The Rialto opened on December 1, 1920. At a cost of a half million dollars it was hailed as: "one of the largest photoplay houses in New York bearing comparison with any other theatres on Broadway". The opening film was "Something to Think About" with Gloria Swanson and Elliot Dexter. The house also boasted a twenty five piece orchestra and a gigantic pipe organ (mentioned in a much earlier comment on CT). There was a special exhibition agreement with Famous Players-Lasky and Paramount.
Although other references to this theatre show it as being built by Al Schwartz after the success of his Rialto in Brooklyn, it was purported to be a local project using a local architect and financing. It was to be operated by the Long Island Motion Picture Company, two of whose officers were the Alterman Brothers who are listed as the new owners when the theatre reopened as the Savoy in 1929.
The former Rialto opened as the Savoy on December 28, 1929 under the ownership of local businessmen, the Alterman Brothers. In addition to a complete renovation there was the installation of a Western Electric sound system.
The Savoy became the first theatre in Queens to serve as a first run house for Warner Brothers films.
I was looking at the Century Brooklyn Rialto and found reference this "second" one built by Schwartz. Kind of unusual to have two theatres with the same name in a small local chain.

Believe it or not, in its final period as a porno theatre, the Savoy had the New York City Housing and Development Administration as its landlord. That happened in July, 1973, when the city purchased the Savoy and other buildings in the block for demolition as part of the Jamaica Center Development Project. The occupants were given until June 30th of the next year (1974) to vacate. In the interim, Savoy Amusement Corporation, which had been showing hard-core pornography at the theatre for two years and soft-core for two years before that, would pay the city a monthly rental of $1,416. In September, 1973, a fire broke out in the theatre and destroyed several rows of seats. The city refused to make repairs or replace the seats, so the management did so at its own expense. "I have a steady clientele who come every week. They're mostly male, 50-50 blacks and whites. You could say we have high class pornographic films. They're 16 millimeter," corporation owner Edward Quinn told a reporter for the New York Post. Some of the Savoy's recent attractions were "Six Easy Pieces," "Hooker's Holiday," "Sex in a Mobile Home," "Snow Job" and "The Stud Who Came to Dinner." Quinn said he had an agreement with local police to keep the outside posters low-key, with only film titles and no photographs or illustrations.
In January, 1935, the Savoy announced that 1934 had been a record-breaking year for the theatre, with more than 1,000,000 tickets sold (adults and children combined). If true, that meant an average weekly attendance of about 19,231, or 2,740 per day. Advertising in the LI Daily Press gave the reason: "Because we present THE GREATEST SHOW VALUE IN N.Y." To accommodate the crowds, the Savoy extended its hours, opening daily at 9:30 AM (except 11:45 on Sundays). No admission prices were cited, but I would guess a sliding scale of no more than 25 cents for adults and ten cents for children. The movies were last run for downtown Jamaica, but double bills of "A" product, such as "Kid Millions" & "Imitation of Life" and "Babes in Toyland" & "Marie Galante."
This bold 1929 presentation was apparently part "live" and part film, and required separate performances for women and men. One can only wonder about the meaning of "Actual scenes—shows everything." And what was that frightened lady "never warned" about?
Yes Mr. Doc, that feeling of loss can't compare to the likely daily loss of patron's bodily fluids that ensued on the floor and the seatbacks of the Savoy in it's latter years. Tawk' about a sticky floor! DOH!!
thanx, v. now i can stop seeing my shrink to resolve that feeling of a persistent sense of loss.
To Jeffbackdoc, I managed to go once to this theatre during it's final porno phase and you didn't miss much. The fare was typical 42nd street grind house "soft" porn with bad grainy scratchy prints.What I was intrigued with more was the ghostly images of the decor that indicated the former grandure of the house.
lee tylers brother here. i remember the last time my dad tried to get us in. huge sign in lobby, "let's face it, folks. the world has gone sex crazy and we are simply meeting the demand. sorry for any inconvenience". man, did we ever want to get in then…the heck with the westerns and sci fi flix. but dad said nix to us hormone charged juveniles. i guess that's progress?!?!?!? jeffbackdoc
Here's an early image of the auditorium when the theatre was still known as the Rialto. I doubt that many changes were made in the following decades. Please note that the seating was all on one floor, with a stadium section at the rear:
Hey Warren, I beat you to it…and then some. Scroll up a few posts. Thanks for posting!
A B&W photo of the theatre when it first opened as the Rialto can be seen at www.queenspix.com The photo is numbered JAM116.
That sticky-ass floor in there had a personality all by itself! Some days I got up and almost lost my sneakers!! —Lee
Lee…Thanks for putting the facade back into focus for me. It could have been that during my Savoy movie-going days in the 50's, the facade was sort of overpowered by and lost in the shadows of the old Jamaica Avenue el.
In any event, the Savoy was quite unique and had a personality all its own.
Hey Erwin. Glad you dug that pic I dug up, but I wasn't on this planet until 1957, so I cannot comment on those 1950's years. ;o) That facade was definately there in the 60's-70's according to my memory. All I really remeber is the Steve Reeve's "Hercules" movies and those Bowery Boy features…..and the free hot dogs and buttered pop corn. LOL! From what I remember of the lobby, it was fairlt ornate kinda like the Valencia and the RKO Keith in Flushing….but not quite as detailed and smaller in scale. Interesting memorabilia!
Lee Tyler….Thanks for posting the picture of the Savoy, pre 1932, when it was the Rialto. As the Savoy, I recall that the marquee was a silver and black Art Deco design. However, for the life of me I cannot recall the facade above the Savoy marquee. Certainly not the imposing one as pictured above the Rialto marquee in the old photo. Was it changed at the time that the Savoy marquee was installed? Or has my memory gone south? Does anyone recall what the facade looked like during the 1950's?
I do vividly recall the lobby which was oval or round and painted all white. They used to have great displays of the b/w stills advertising the upcoming triple features.

Pre-heat over to 350
Butter a 9 by 13 baking dish
DUMP the 2 cans of pie filling into baking dish and spread evenly in the bottom of the dish.
Carefully DUMP, evenly WITHOUT DRAINING, the CRUSHED Pineapple over top of the pie filling. The excess liquid in the Crushed Pineapple is what will moisten the cake mix so it needs to be spread fairly evenly over the pie filling.
Sprinkle the Golden Cake Mix over the top of the Crushed Pineapple evenly covering the entire pan with the dry cake mix.
Sprinkle evenly, the melted butter over top of the dry cake mix.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until golden brown and crisp on top.

The Perfect Day Zine
This is a quarter-sized, black and white, 64 paged long zine, organized by Janell Hoong. 22 writers and 22 chapters of perfect days. In the foreword Janell writes, "Some days are simple, some are more complicated, and they may be different now, 6 months later, or 10 years later, but at one point they were true." This is such a fun and varied read. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's interesting comparing and contrasting one person's perfect day to another. Some people spend their perfect days alone and others pack their day with all their friends. Some people go to work and others live in magical worlds. You can purchase the zine on Janell's etsy here. My story is the first chapter, so check it out!

Birkat Hachamah
Once in every 28 years the sun returns to the same position, at the same time of the week, that it occupied at the time of it's creation.
G‑d made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night . . . And it was evening and it was morning, a fourth day.—Genesis 1:16-19
So, Birkat Hachamah, Blessing for the Sun, is only recited once every 28 years, which occurred last Wednesday, April 8th
Blessed are You, Lord
our G-d. King of the
universe, who reenacts
the works of creation

Very nice, Michael. Your Birkat Hachamah posting really connects. THANK YOU!

EyeSmart Tips
Eye Protection at Home
Every household should have at least one pair of ANSI-approved protective eyewear for risky activities.
Jumping a Battery
Take precautions to prevent eye injury. Never lean over the battery and always wear safety goggles.
Eye Makeup
Throw out eye makeup after three months to prevent infection. If you get an eye infection, replace makeup immediately.
"No Rub" a No Go
To prevent infection, use the "rub and rinse" method to clean your contacts, even with "no rub" solutions.
Eyelash Extension Dangers
The adhesives used with eyelash extensions can cause swelling, infection and permanent loss of your eyelashes.
What Is an Ophthalmologist?
Make sure you are seeing the right eye care provider for your condition or treatment.
Are You Fit at 40?
A baseline eye exam is recommended at age 40, when the signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Parents are often mystified by the cause of their children's headaches. A common assumption is that headaches might be related to poor vision, indicating a need for eyeglasses. But a study says otherwise. Research indicates that even when children's headaches strike during visual tasks like homework, vision or eye problems are rarely the cause of kids' headaches.
The study was conducted by pediatric ophthalmologists at Albany Medical Center in New York State to help provide more reliable answers for parents, family doctors and pediatricians who face this common health question. The researchers reviewed medical records of children under age 18 who were seen at the clinic for frequent headaches between 2002-2011. All of the children received complete eye exams by the clinic's ophthalmologists — eye medical doctors.
The findings showed that there was no significant correlation between children's frequent headaches and a need for vision correction. Follow up reports from parents showed that headaches improved for three-quarters of the children, and headaches were equally likely to improve regardless of whether they received a new prescription for vision correction.
"We hope our study will reassure parents that in most cases, their children's headaches are not related to vision or eye problems, and that most headaches will clear up in time," said Zachary Roth, MD, an ophthalmologist who led the research team.
Good vision and eye health are key to children's ability to do well in the classroom and be safe on the playground. Keep kids' eyes healthy by following the American Academy of Ophthalmology's guidelines for children's vision screening and learning about common children's eye problems. If your child has vision or eye health problems, find an Eye M.D. in your area who can help.

I have had 2 children go through Rosemont, one now a sophomore, one in 7th Grade. I can't say that I would recommend Rosemont. There are a few excellent teachers, but overall I think the level of instruction and responsiveness of teachers is poor. This is a school that cut Science to only a 1 semester course, and only offers foreign language for 1 semester, leaving students to forget most of what they have learned by the next course. If you have an IEP student, and/or an acclerated student, forget it, the IEP/TAG programs are next to nonexistant, despite their claims. I don't even deal with the principal, who has her head in the clouds regarding the struggles of a lot of students. Students are known for not being prepared for high school if they went to Rosemont, compared to other middle schools in the area. Homework is next to nonexistent, again, not preparing them for the realities of high school level work. Prompt online grading results and useful course websites/homework access is not present. Very disappointed in this school.
I'm attending this school and I think it's amazing. I'm in a program called the Coyote Crew, which is a group of 7th and 8th graders that help the new sixth graders around the school. I thought it was a bad school at first but I realized that there are going to be bad people and good people everywhere. I especially love and love the teachers! They are amazing and understands students. I love RRMS. By the way, Mrs. BC is great at what she did. We have a new vice principal, Mr. Severson and he is awesome!
My daughter attended RRMS last year, she had a hard time connecting with other students as there was a lot of bullying going on amongst the girls, the office staff was unhelpful and often unfriendly, the school would not allow the kids to take the same foreign language 2x in one year....which is ridiculous if they really want to stick with it and learn it. I felt like we were always dealing with issues and problems. Not worth the time for the mediocre education she received.
My brother attended this school last year, and was assaulted by one of the teachers. The principal doesn't seem to car about the students and bullying is a problem. Terrible school and Ms. B.C. (principal) is horrible at her job.
All of the schools in West Linn Wilsonville School District are exceptional. All of the middle schools now have the same curriculum and the same caliber teachers. The PTO at Rosemont does a fabulous job of getting the community together. The administration is terrific and the opportunies for students are endless. Children have the choice of Spanish or French along with choices for art, orchestra, band, choir, guitar... And even labs for students that need extra help and extension/inquiry classes for kids that want to delve deeper into studies of interest like robotics, technology... of course West Linn wouldn't be complete without lots of sports opportunities including middle school dance team. We couldn't be happier!
This is a great School! A few years back several fabulous women got together and took control of this schools PTO. They helped to implement several programs to bring support, fun programs and an awesome sense of community! At the end of the year, they recv'd National recoginition from PTO Today as PTO of the year!! Many of these programs have become part of the amazing fabric and tradition at this school! They not only have great parent involvement, also, excellent teachers not to mention they are one of the feeder schools into West Linn High School, also nationally recognized (by US news and World Report & Newsweek) as one of the Best High Schools in the US.! This is a great school in a great school district!
I used to attend Rosemont Ridge middle school. I love the community that has evolved there. The teachers are very supportive and most of mine tried to come to at least one sports game of every team every season so that they could make sure they did not miss a student. The teahers are excellent and have great teaching styles so every student can understand, and if they need extra help, anyone is willing to help including Peers, teachers, and library staff.
This is the best school my child has ever gone to. She loves all her teachers. The students are very involved in the music, art, and especially sports programs. Rosemont Ridge has different popular sports programs all year round. 'Everyone has a blast and feels important!' As for Parent involvement I am rather impressed. Although I am not too involved the level I hear see is important. Overall Rosemont Ridge is a great school academics (I forgot!) is excellent. My daughter was A+ last year all year. You would be impressed of the students above average! GOOD SCHOOL!!!

~ Welcome to Peterson's Performance Plus ~
Home of the Katmai and the 260SE
Outstanding STOL Aircraft.
The Katmai and the 260SE both represent a major breakthrough in the field of high performance safe, STOL aircraft. They provide performance and safety previously thought
impossible to obtain in a single aircraft.
Climb aboard and experience performance you have never known before. Both the Katmai and the 260SE feel comfortable and safe for you and your family. Remember that dream of discovering remote hideaways? Or flying your family a thousand miles cross country at 173 miles per hour? Or having an airplane that gives you safety when the chips are down? Now it's no longer a dream.Now it
can be sitting at your airport, in your hangar.
Check Out The Videos Below Then Visit Katmai
Check out the 2013 fly-in to
The Katmai's advanced
aerodynamics provide additional lift for those ultra-short back country sites. On take off the airplane transitions
into a safe flat attitude signaling the Katmai is now ahead of the power curve.
At this point steep turns may be made safely. An engine failure on take off does not present a hazard, and an
emergency landing may be made safely.
The Katmai provides for a
wide variety of easily interchangeable landing gear options. The
gear legs have anti-abrasion Stainless Steel leading edges. The brake
lines are protected from damage by the landing gear leg and heavy duty brakes
are utilized. Shown here are the 29 inch Alaskan Bushwheels with an 8.50x6 nose
The Katmai
offers a wide variety of interior configurations and can be quickly reconfigured from
a full four place airplane to a two place ready for the back country. Its huge
eight foot long cargo area will carry a complete camp site including your
favorite family dog. The flat floor allows for the loading of oversize freight
such as thirty gallon drums, and up to twelve tie down rings are easily
installed to secure your cargo. Just think. The next time you go camping,
hiking, hunting or fishing you can take a tent, cots, sleeping bags, coolers,
stove, lights, a private privy for your "significant other", chairs, fishing
poles, rifles, bicycles, hiking gear, etc. You name it and you can
pretty much figure on taking it.
Katmai options include an
onboard standby generator. This generator can be used to charge a dead battery,
air up tires, preheat your engine, run an electric chain saw, even power up a
camp site. How about a special harness for your favorite dog that restricts
cabin access, affords protection in turbulence yet allows for freedom of
movement. The list of special Katmai options just goes on and on.
Interior View
Exterior View
Custom avionics can easily
be configured. As the Katmai is a true IFR capable airplane, the panel can be
tailored for the back country flier or the business traveler.
Is this the right airplane
for me?

If you or your partner(s) are super freaked out by the possibility of it being pee, you probably shouldn't mess with it. The scientific jury is still out on the legitimacy and whys of female ejaculation, and as long as there's stuff like cancer to work on you can't really blame them for back burner-ing it.
Or I was commenting on how everyone is being pitched on erotic novels like everyone was being pitched on reality shows a couple of years ago. But hey, if you want to project qualitative judgement onto that statement that's your right.
Our celebrity mascot Stoya, the worlds most awesome porn star ever, brings us her annual #fistingday submission. Thank you, stoya. <3
Because fisting is a completely legitimate and very enjoyable sexual practice, and because I <3 y'all too.
Shirking the F-word feels like turning my back on the women who fought to give me many of the advantages I have. So here goes: Hi, I'm Stoya. My politics and I are feminist… But my job is not.
I read this and I liked it as I usually like what Stoya writes… and then I made the mistake of reading the comments. So now I would really like to repeatedly punch people.
Thank you :) Also: Never read the comments! (I know, I do it too sometimes)
He's currently being taken care of by Animal Compassion Team which is a no-kill shelter in Fresno CA, and he needs a happy forever home. As much as I want to take him (and a raccoon and a couple of large dogs and maybe a polar bear) in, it wouldn't be fair to Squeak, Pixel, and Widjet because three cats really is enough for this house. But he seriously pulls at my heart strings. Maybe he will pull at yours.
Nabil Hadjarab arrived at Gitmo 11 years ago, in an orange jumpsuit and a diaper, his head covered by a hood, eyes blinded by blackout goggles, mouth gagged, and with headphones blaring white noise into his ears.
At 34, Nabil is four years my senior. We both speak French, draw pictures, and, in our youths, liked to travel to desolate places and have adventures. But Nabil's days of wanderlust may be over forever. Although he's been cleared for release since 2007, the US will not return him to his family in France. He has vowed to remain on a hunger strike till he finds freedom or death, whichever happens first.

Stoya on Ethics, Porn, and Workers' Rights
I was talking to this reporter recently about pubic hair. My favorite interviews are the ones that feel like a conversation with a stranger at a coffee shop or a friend at a quiet neighborhood bar. Tangents get explored and they frequently veer off into territory that has nothing to do with the article being written. Sometimes those digressions circle back into a great quote about the initial topic that probably wouldn't have been said if the format was Q&A. One of the tangents I went on during this interview involved exploitation in the porn industry.
My first contract with an adult production studio was skewed heavily in the company's favor. You could say I got "screwed" on it. I've heard plenty of unverified mythology about musical artists and television actors who had terrible initial contracts. I've also heard a few stories directly from talent in the mainstream end of the entertainment industry. You might know some of these anecdotes: Prince's name change to avoid a trademark ownership issue, the reasons behind Johnny Depp's rumored antics on the 21 Jump Street set, Billy Joel and his 15-year Family Productions contract.
I have a bunch of random news and stuff:
Vanity Fair did this profile of Simon Hammerstein, who is one of the owners of The Box. I'm in the accompanying portrait (in my hoop!) along with a few of the other performers that work there. There are a bunch of people who aren't shown, including the wonderful crew and some of the most talented, creative people I've ever had the honor of working with like Rose Wood and Julie Atlas Muz, but ohmygod you guys I'm in Vanity Fair. I'm really excited. Too excited to fully articulate how excited I am. Here is a picture Steve Prue took over someone's shoulder on the train.
Meanwhile, I have a new piece up on VICE.com. I talk about butts. I'm sure you're surprised.
The Hysterical Literature project now has a website which includes a Susannah Breslin essay about my session.
…and my friend Ian Strange just put up the video part of his newest art exhibition on vimeo and he's really awesome so I encourage you to click this link and check it out.
