A Southern California school district will allow students to hand out Bible coins outside of class, saying teachers who banned them violated the children's rights of free expression.
The San Bernardino Sun reports that earlier this year, a teacher at Desert Knolls Elementary School in Apple Valley banned four children from handing out plastic coins with Bible verses during recess.
Urged by Freedom X, a Los Angeles-based non-profit that works to protect the rights of conservatives and Christians, the school district investigated and concluded that the teachers had suppressed the children's First Amendment rights.
Parents Allen and Kelly Peterson purchased the plastic Bible coins to distribute at community events and to provide to Christian religious groups. Their children wanted to bring the coins for kids to hand out during recess.
"The kids would take four, five, six of them to school," Allen said. "A lot of [their friends] will ask them to bring more coins because they'll take them home to give them out to family and friends."
But in January, a teacher spotted a coin that had fallen out of one of the boy's pockets. She told the child she "hated" the coins and instructed him not to bring them back to school.
"'I hate them and they're a distraction to my class. I don't want to see them any more,'" Allen quoted his son Patrick's testimony to district investigators Wednesday morning.
A month later, for Valentine's Day, a different teacher went through 32 homemade snack bags brought in by another Peterson child and pulled out all of the coins, saying they were a violation of law.
When Allen brought the incident up to the principal he was told nothing could happen on her campus without her permission.
He then left a message for her superiors at the Apple Valley Unified District office, but again, his complaint went nowhere.
Consequently, he contacted Freedom X who wrote a letter to Apple Valley Unified outlining the persecution suffered by the family. The letter also warned of potential legal action.
"Unless we are satisfied a sufficient apology has been made and the teachers have been duly instructed" not to interfere with the non-disruptive distribution of the coins, "we will not hesitate to initiate legal action to vindicate the Peterson boys' constitutional rights," the letter read.
School officials immediately began an investigation, according to Superintendent Thomas Hoegerman, who now says teachers who are unaware of the case law on the subject will receive the appropriate training.
Meanwhile, the family says they don't want any money from the school district. For them, it's about teaching their children they've done nothing wrong.
"All we want is for the kids to know they've done nothing wrong," Kelly said.
"They have friends of theirs who don't know Jesus, don't know God, and if they can give out these coins, they might be able to help them," Allen said.

Top Xbox Sports Games of All Time
- 1
- 2
Welcome to VideoGamer.com's top sports games of All Time, a list of the best videogames, generated by editorial reviews and popularity on the site. Here's a look at our favourites...
Remember, this list is in descending order! VideoGamer.com is always open to hearing about your opinion. Would your list be different? If so let us know on the Forums or tweet us @VideoGamerCom.
Sensible Soccer 2006
Sensible Soccer 2006 is a game that you want to love, but frequently find yourself hating. As a budget title it's worth a look, but it's far from the new dawn of football games that many had expected.
Our Score6
Aggressive Inline
If you love extreme sports games, this is a no-brainer. Go and get the game
Like all the ESPN games, this exudes quality. The only sticking point is whether or not you like the sport really.
Madden NFL 06
With no on-line play to be found and only minor improvements in gameplay, 06 seems like a step backwards from previous years
NBA Live 06
While EA is clearly shying away from a realistic take on the sport, Live 2006 is one of the better entries in the series with the superstar mode being by far its biggest highlight.
2006 FIFA World Cup
2006 FIFA World Cup is the perfect title to celebrate the World Cup with, even if it's not the perfect footy game.
ProStroke Golf: World Tour 2007
ProStroke delivers the most complex control system ever seen on a standard console controller, but the game that's built around it simply isn't exciting enough to sway Tiger fans over to a new series.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Newcomers to the series will find a great deal to play through, but if you own last year's game, think carefully before laying down the cash.
As far as fast entertaining sports games go, this is up there with the best of them. Had online play been included this would have been a no-brainer
It may be the end of an era with this title but what a way to go out. Polish, gameplay and love of its subject matter are all here in abundance - only an online mode is missing

Talent show gives seniors chance to shine
Golden stars could be found everywhere Friday inside the Old Kona Airport Park's Makaeo Events Pavilion. But the brightest ones were on stage, where they competed in the annual Big Island Senior Stars Talent Show.
Hosted by the Hawaii County Department of Parks and Recreation's Elderly Recreation Services, the event featured 278 seniors representing 19 clubs. Many embraced the opportunity to shine through singing, dancing, acting and playing music. Besides bragging rights, they competed for prizes from area businesses, awarded to the top three places in both solo and group performances. Their lively, upbeat performances, often peppered with comedy, received enthusiastic applause.
Juan Barcelona crooned a touching rendition of "Wind Beneath My Wings" and Penny Madamba twanged in true Conway Twitty style to two country tunes. Harry Cabrera, who won third place in the 2013 Kupuna Hula Festival's Tutu Kane Division, got a lot of whistles and cheers from admirers as he danced to "Ka Nani O Kilauea." Dressed as Uncle Sam, Dorothy Williams of the Pomaikai Senior Club got a lot of laughs when she stopped strumming her ukulele and ripped off her red and white striped pants, revealing hot pink shorts. Williams then sang and tap-danced to "Yankee Doodle Dandy" while twirling a baton.
The Ocean View Senior Club had most of the audience members swaying and tapping their toes in their seats while performing the "Beer Barrel Polka" and "Jambalaya" as the Last Fling Band. The Kohala Senior Club mesmerized while dancing with flowing butterfly-like wings. Meanwhile, it was evident who the real "Bad, Bad Girl" was in the Kamuela Kickers as the line dancing group made its first big turnaround. Somebody's red and black tutu purposely didn't cover everything, causing an uproar of laughter.
The Kailua-Kona Seniors Club did a tribute to "America's Darling" Shirley Temple by singing "On the Good Ship Lollipop" as member Barbara Stiller, dressed as the dimpled, curly-haired child star, tap-danced and grinned her way into observers' hearts. Prior to the club's performance, member Roland Dupree revealed he was chosen for the role of Temple's boyfriend in the film "Miss Annie Rooney." He described Temple as lovely, dedicated and kind. Dupree recalled how he, then 16, forgot his line while filming a scene with him driving a car. He said Temple, 13 at the time, immediately took his hand and told him not to worry because they could do it again.
Elderly Recreation Services Program Director Kelly Hudik said the friendly competition spotlights "the incredible talent in our community" while also encouraging seniors to express themselves artistically and giving them the chance to socialize in a fun and positive way.
It's one of the many events and programs the county has to ensure this population is not forgotten or discounted. The goal is to provide opportunities for seniors to be able to maintain a good quality of life and continue to be active members of society. Such activities also typically show how at the heart of aging gracefully is "an enthusiasm for life, laughter and some definite spunk," Hudik said.
The Big Island Senior Stars Talent Show was funded by the seniors, all of whom pay $10 to participate. Besides performing and watching the show, they also enjoyed a lunch and prize giveaways.

Ones to Watch | By Sabrina Davis
Just about every family and every family-dining restaurant has its own macaroni and cheese recipe. And while many restaurants relegate the cheesy dish to the kids' menu, Jonathan Bellobuono knows that few parents can resist stealing a bite. The timeless appeal of the hot and creamy treat led Bellobuono to launch the fast-casual J.B. Mack Macaroni & Cheese Kitchen.
"J.B." comes from Bellobuono's initials; "Mack" stands for macaroni and cheese kitchen. A family dinner at a restaurant with an unusual mac and cheese recipe inspired the idea. "So many restaurants have their signature macaroni and cheese dish," Bellobuono says. "This one put lobster in their macaroni and cheese. It got us to talking on the way home about how much fun it would be to add this or that to macaroni and cheese." For Bellobuono, the conversation blossomed into a business plan.
Bellobuono's background is in Hollywood production, but with a business degree and experience in his father's Italian restaurant, he had the itch to launch his own concept. Letting customers create their own macaroni and cheese dish seemed like the original idea he'd been searching for. With help from his cousin and business partner Amy Cannarella, J.B. Mack was born.
The first store opened in March in the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester, Connecticut, more than a year overdue following construction delays. "By the time we finally opened, I had started thinking maybe I was crazy for getting into this," Bellobuono recalls. "But on just the second day we were open, I saw this kid with his face pressed against the window watching as the macaroni and cheese dishes were coming out of the oven. Just seeing the expression on his face told me we had hit a home run."
J.B. Mack serves 200–300 people Sunday through Friday and 500–600 on Saturdays. The restaurant was operating in the black by its first week. "Our break-even is very low," Bellobuono says. "It's not labor intensive. Any young adult can manage and run this restaurant without being skilled in the food industry."
The simplicity that Bellobuono hopes will help sell franchises also sells the food.

Well fear not, Will-and-Kate-watcher, because there's a new royal wedding-themed item that might be right up your alley.
This March, Butter London will release a glittery new shade – with a nod to Kate Middleton's long-awaited nuptials – called, "No More Waity, Katie."
The limited-edition nail laquer is grayish-blue and glitter-infused, according to Nonie Créme, Butter London's creative director. And of course, it gives a cheeky nod to Kate's pre-engagement nickname, "Waity Katie."
The nail care company, a cult favorite that prides itself on selling chemical-free products, will ship the nail polish internationally. It will retail for $14.
Pre-ordering for "No More Waity, Katie" will begin March 15, and the product will be available in the U.S. in April.
Wonder if "Katie" herself might use the shade on her wedding day nails ...

TAMPA, Fla. -- Rest and ice, compression and elevation throughout last week couldn't help Hines Ward's sprained right knee as much as only two days in the climate here.
"Every morning it's feeling better, being this is the first time I've seen sun in maybe three or four weeks," the Steelers' veteran wide receiver, who was injured in the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens, said Tuesday during Super Bowl XLIII media day.
"You come down here and your knees and your joints don't ache as much. You wake up in the morning and walk outside, it's definitely a relaxing atmosphere and it definitely helps you out on the joints. Being down here definitely helps, rather than being in the cold and being stiff all the time."
Thousands of retirees down here would probably agree, but Ward has something else they don't have to ease his ailing knee: the motivation of being only four days from his second Super Bowl.
Of course, Ward's listed as questionable for Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals -- but the idea he would sit out is something his teammates find absurd.
"People ask me that question, and I want to smack them," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "First of all, it's the Super Bowl. Second of all, it's Hines Ward. He's going to be out there, and he's going to be just fine."
Translation: There's no way Ward is going to miss what might be the biggest game of his career, though he will wear a brace.
Ward's first Super Bowl -- he was named MVP after 123 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks three years ago -- was sweet. But for the 32-year-old Ward, a Steeler since the team took him in the third round of the 1998 draft, winning this one would be just as special.
And it would help validate his place in Steelers history.
"People are always comparing me with (Lynn) Swann and (John) Stallworth," said Ward, who holds franchise records in receptions (800), receiving yards (9,780) and receiving touchdowns (72). "Having all the records is all fine and dandy. But to do what those guys have done -- to win four Super Bowl rings -- that's probably unheard of.
"To win my second championship ring, I don't know if it would solidify me ... but it's something I'd feel more comfortable about when people compare me with Swann and Stallworth."
There's more to Ward's game than just receiving. And much of this season, in which he caught 81 passes (his most since grabbing 95 five years ago), was defined by what he did without the ball.
In October, he knocked Bengals linebacker Keith Rivers out for the season when he broke Rivers' jaw on a crack-back block -- a legal hit that drew neither a penalty nor a fine. Still, Ward was criticized by some observers and Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who called Ward a "dirty player, a cheap-shot artist." Suggs also said Baltimore's defense put a bounty on Ward earlier in the season, though he later clarified that statement, saying the Ravens planned to "keep a close eye on Ward."
In the end, Ward got vindication with another Steelers victory over the Ravens in the conference championship -- though his knee injury, suffered in the first quarter, limited him for much of the game.
Tuesday, at the biggest event in the week leading up to the biggest game of all, Ward wasn't apologetic about his physical style that helped Pittsburgh get here.
"Some guys might like me, some guys call me dirty. There are some kids out there that want to be me someday," Ward said. "When I leave this game one day, all I want people to say is he was one helluva football player. ... My teammates and coaches know what I'm putting on the line each and every Sunday. That's all that really matters to me."
Another MVP award? Ward said that doesn't matter either, as long as it goes to a victorious Steeler.
So what's left other than the ring itself? How about a touchdown pass for the former quarterback? After all, he was on the receiving end of Antwaan Randle-El's 43-yard touchdown heave in Super Bowl XL.
"I would love to be on the receiving end of that (again)," Ward said with a smile. "Anytime you run a trick play in the Super Bowl, that's the awesomest feeling ever. But it's not our gimmick. I don't think we ran a trick play this year."
Those plays left two years ago with former offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt -- now the Cardinals' head coach. So maybe now's the perfect time to run one and catch Arizona by surprise.
"When you're in the Super Bowl," Ward said, "there's no need to change anything."
Well, nothing except the weather.

40 Women Who Have Made a Significant Impact on Society After Playing High School or College Sports
'40 FOR 40' Event Hosted by WICT, espnW and WSF Scheduled for Thursday, June 21, at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC
New York, NY (May 17, 2012) – The Women's Sports Foundation (WSF), in collaboration with espnW and Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT), today released its 40 FOR 40 list of forty women who made a significant impact on society after playing sports in high school or college during the forty years since the enactment of Title IX in 1972. The honorees will be recognized as part of a 40 FOR 40 event on June 21 at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC. The supporting sponsor of the event is Scripps Networks Interactive. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires schools and colleges receiving federal money in any education program or activity to provide the same opportunities for girls as they provide for boys. According to WSF, Title IX has resulted in growth of girls participating in high school sports from 1 in 27 in 1972 to about 2 in 5 today. Title IX has not only made its impact felt in terms of athletic participation, but in educational opportunities for girls and women. According to several studies, the combination of the two has produced significant long-term educational, health and economic benefits for women. The 40 FOR 40 list is comprised of honorees in a wide range of fields of accomplishment including Science – Technology – Engineering – Math (STEM), Sports, Business, Medicine, Law, Arts and Entertainment, among other fields. They include: Christine Brennan (Journalism/Media); Ann Cody (Nonprofit); General Ann Dunwoody (Military); Tina Fey (Arts and Entertainment); Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (Government/Civil Service); Ellen Kullman (Business and STEM); Queen Latifah (Arts and Entertainment); Dr. Condoleezza Rice (Government/Civil Service and Academia); Dr. Dot Richardson (Medicine); Sally Ride (STEM); Robin Roberts (Journalism/Media); Irene Rosenfeld (Business) and Meg Whitman (Business). Below, please find a full list of honorees. "We are proud to recognize these women and the positive role that the passage of Title IX has played in the lives of countless women and girls," said Kathryn Olson, Chief Executive Officer of the Women's Sports Foundation, founded by Billie Jean King. "Each has used participation in sports as a step toward making a very significant contribution to society in a wide variety of fields." The list also includes a number of women who made a career in sports, who made a significant contribution to their sport, or who helped expand access for girls and women in sports. Honorees include: College basketball great Val Ackerman, who launched and served as the first president of the WNBA, the women's professional basketball league; Julie Foudy, two-time World Cup and Olympic gold medalist and advocate for women's and children's rights, including Title IX; Mia Hamm, who played on four NCAA Championship soccer teams, two World Cup Championship teams and two Olympic gold medal teams, also helped found the first professional women's soccer league; Volleyball great Flo Hyman, for whom "National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD)" was posthumously established, in recognition of her contributions to growing sports for girls and women; Jackie Joyner-Kersee, six-time Olympian and a college Track & Field star who ranked among the all-time greatest female athletes in the world and is also known for her efforts in giving underprivileged children more opportunities to safely participate in sports; Pat Summitt, who played basketball during the enactment of Title IX and whose success as a college coach at Tennessee greatly expanded recognition and opportunities for women in basketball; and Venus Williams, three-time Olympic medalist and seven-time Grand Slam tennis champion who helped lead a successful effort to gain equal prize money for women at Wimbledon. "It is important to also recognize leaders whose primary contribution has been through sports," said Laura Gentile, Vice President, espnW. "The inspiration they provide and the battles they fought for access, respect and recognition paved the way for all who follow." Current employees, trustees and officers of the sponsoring organizations were not eligible to be on the list of forty honorees. However, in the spirit of highlighting a highly qualified honorary designee of each organization, a category of "Plus Four More" was created in addition to the 40 FOR 40. They include: WSF Senior Director of Advocacy and past president Nancy Hogshead-Makar, four-time Olympian and collegiate swimmer, and one of the leading Title IX experts in the country; espnW Advisory Panel member and coaching legend Sue Enquist, an 11-time National Champion at UCLA; Enquist's coaching tenure produced 65 All-Americans and 12 Olympians; 2012 Chair of the WICT Board and Vice President, Content Acquisition with Cox Communications Kathy Payne, a high school tennis champion and team captain, who went on to earn undergraduate and law degrees from Duke and currently negotiates complex carriage deals with all professional sports leagues, regional sports networks and college conferences for cable television and mobile platform distribution; and Scripps Networks Interactive's Cindy McConkey, an all-state high school track and basketball player who was the first female journalist to cover Southeastern Conference football and is now Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications for Scripps Networks Interactive. "It is befitting to also recognize women who are part of our extended families and share the same characteristics of those who are being recognized as the 40 FOR 40 honorees," said Maria E. Brennan, President & CEO of WICT. "Sports and the opportunities created by Title IX played an important role in their early lives which they have carried forward in making a real difference for each of our organizations." The forty women selected will be recognized at the 40 FOR 40 gathering on June 21. The event will feature keynotes and a Power Panel comprised of top honorees. The panel will explore the impact of Title IX as well as the role sports has played in helping them overcome obstacles and forging new opportunities. 40 For 40 will be part of a range of activities each organization has planned surrounding the anniversary of Title IX, including programming, social media activation and additional educational outreach. 40 FOR 40 Honoree; Professional category (can be multiple categories); Sport; Contribution Names appear in alphabetical order.
Plus Four More Honorary designees include:

This debut novel by Sarah Winman, a British actress, is decidedly quirky, unusual and fresh. It's also tremendously well-written and involving, and captures as few novels do, the actual feelings and experiences of childhood. The title absolutely pulled me in. Don't for a moment think it's a metaphor. No way. Little Elly, the narrator, receives a Belgian hare for Christmas and, in a family of nonbelievers, what could be more logical than naming her pet god (lower case, of course)?
When her school hosts a Christmas pageant, Elly receives audition instructions from her gay thespian aunt. The little girl secures a role but not Mary, Joseph, or the Baby Jesus. No, instead Elly plays the blind innkeeper. Unfortunately, in a horrible fiasco, she knocks over another child and sends him to the hospital.
Elly has a best friend named Jenny Penny. Her mom is a single parent with lots of visiting boyfriends. Because she has a drinking problem, Jenny joins Elly's kind but eccentric family.

I may not have been a fan of Harry Potter (each to their own), but when I saw the press release of Emma Watson in the Lancôme ads for their two new collections – Rouge In Love and Vernis In Love – my jaw dropped!!! She looks stunning and I want what she's wearing!!!
On Emma's lips is the Lancôme Rouge In Love Lipstick in, what I speculate is, 185N Rouge Valentine or 159B Rouge In Love. Will be confirmed ASAP and when I find out, I will update this. Against her flawless porcelain skin, this rich red colour really pops!
As for the packaging, Lancôme have won my heart with the sexy silver casing which will appeal to the younger generation for sure!
I have a review, photos and swatches coming next month! Keep your eyes peeled!

Me hour Ami
Reviewed: 26 June 2016 by Chantellemc11
A plain brown box arrived with no nasty pitchers of naked women and men all over it, which was a good thing. The jejoue packaging is so stylish and sleek you would never guess what was in it, and there were no awful smells which I was so happy about.
The proper name for your PC muscle is pubococcygeus, which is a hammock like muscle that stretches from the pubic bone to the coccyx. This muscle is supporting your pelvic organs like your womb and bladder and your genitalia, and this muscle can lose its elasticity buy giving birth and as we get older.
I started off by tensing and relaxing 20 times in sets of 5s. Then I upped it to tensing and relaxing 40 times in sets of 10s. Then I upped them again to 60 in sets of 30s. Now I do as many as I can do. I'll do them all day some days, and half days. It depends on how I feel. In the Ami you get the different weights really lite, medium and heavy once you can use all three jejoue have the Ami+, which is the advanced set.
A strong PC muscle is the key to more intense orgasms and greater urinary control, as well as helping during childbirth. Kegel exercises, named after the American gynaecologist Dr. Kegel who popularised these in the 1970s, are designed to tone and strengthen your PC muscle. With the Ami set, doing these exercises are so simple so easy to do and don't forget extremely pleasurable also.
I have been using Ami regularly for about a month now, and I am on the middle ball and it is so easy to do. I have loved using them I will use them forever, and I am recommending them to everyone. And I have toned and strengthened my PC muscle, so both me and my husband can enjoy a more enhanced and more sensitivity during sex, and the mind-blowing orgasms are amazing.
The Ami set is made of 100 per cent body safe silicone and each Ami contains little balls that rumble and bounce around inside you. And each Ami ball has a loop, so you won't lose it in your vagina. And the sensations the Ami are creates an mind-blowing, arousing and pleasurable sensation even while I'm doing the house work, doing the shopping, even while I'm doing a working out they are so discreet. Only I know they're inside me. They are so easy to use.
Using the Ami has lead me to a whole new sexual experience for both of us. I have tightened my PC muscle, so I tease him by tensing and relaxing my PC muscle, which tenses my vaginal wall around his penis during intercourse. It makes him go wild and he loves it he can not get enough of me. :) I'm not complaining.
- Pros
- They are silky smooth to the touch and 100% body safe.
- Cons
- Nothing they were brilliant they have helped my PC muscles.
- Bottom line
- Fabulous.

Ami by Je Joue 3 Step Kegel System
Reviewed: 11 February 2016 by Victoria85, a Straight Going Steady Female
I purchased these kegal balls (I say balls, but only one of them is actually ball-shaped) a couple of years ago now, but didn't want to review them until I had given them plenty of time to 'do their thing' and I have to say that I am very impressed.
The reason I purchased these was primarily because I had noticed that I wasn't able to hold my water quite as easily as I once did and so although I was not actually feeling "loose" down there (my partners have always made a point of telling me I am quite the opposite in fact!), I thought that things could maybe do with a bit of toning.
Feeling brave and adventurous, I actually went straight to the third and most heaviest of the selection which comes in this (beautifully presented!) box, which is described as being for "advanced" users who have built their way up to it. My boyfriend and I did laugh about the fact that as I could easily hold the smallest and heaviest all day straight away, I must therefore have an "advanced" vagina haha.
I will admit that it was slightly difficult to hold for more than a couple of hours or so at the beginning. I recall one incident where I squatted to get something out of a cupboard and lost it on the kitchen floor haha. This was only a problem because I was not wearing underwear to catch it of course and fortunately I was home alone, so it was funny more than anything else and certainly gave my boyfriend something to chuckle about when I told him that the "purple snowman" as he affectionately named it, made a surprise appearance!
As I say, that was a one-off mishap, usually these stay firmly in place (well, it did for me, but then I have not had any children so this probably helps) but I did noticed at first that after a few hours of wear, sometimes I would sit down and be able to feel it - much like when you have not inserted a tampon far enough. I simply pushed it a bit further up and this was soon remedied though.
I've not used these religiously, I tend to forget about them for a few months and then get them out again, but I think they have definitely improved things down there as I can now hold (the smallest and heaviest) for the best part of the day (when I'm at home - I have not felt inclined to wear it to work!) without any problem at all. I actually forget it is there, until it has been in for many hours and then it can sometimes start to feel slightly uncomfortable - not painful, but just heavy, just like your arms feel if you've been carrying heavy bags for too long!
I can't remember the last time I had to run for the toilet either, so mission accomplished!
If you want to improve your muscle tone 'down there' and are willing to invest in some high quality toys to do so, then I can't recommend these enough. They not only seem to work, but are literally a pleasure to use - in more ways than one!
- Pros
- Luxury packaging; and that same luxury extends to the product itself - "top drawer".
- Cons
- Maybe a little pricey, but as they say "You get what you pay for".
- Bottom line
- I think these are my favourite sex toy purchase - and I've made a few!

Every woman should have some balls
Reviewed: 27 July 2015 by Gfi, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
When I opened the discreet LH parcel, I continually said 'oooooo' as I looked at the packaging of this product. The three balls come in a box that has indentations to keep them in place, and the box feels luxurious and looks great.
I immediately wanted to try them. Having never used Kegel balls before, I read the leaflet and decided I should start with the first single ball as advised. I put it in and was immediately aroused when using it. I did a few pelvic floor exercises and then went to the shops and a little walk.
The weighted ball inside the ball jiggles around with every movement and is very pleasurable. The weight is a good start as you can feel it, but it is not uncomfortable.
I was pleased to arrive home as I was very aroused by this point and wanted to play. The ball was easy to take out with the retrieval cord, which feels very secure, which means you don't have to worry about getting it out.
I know that these balls are essentially exercising balls, but they are more than that in my eyes. It makes you very aware of every muscle in your vagina and encourages you to use them while heightening the sensitivity.
I have used the second stage in this set also - just to have a little try of what it was like and that was also very pleasurable. I become so aroused when using these balls it can become a wonderful battle. But in the end, it simply enhances play and makes the wait so worth it.
I cannot recommend these enough. Everyone should exercise their vagina, and doing it in such a pleasurable way makes it so easy. Je Joue products are excellent quality and feel like a designer product in both the design and quality. They are easy to use and pleasurable from the first second.
Every woman needs a set of balls and these tick all the boxes. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced, there is a ball in this set for everyone. As I become more experienced and use the heavy balls, I am sure I will still use the lighter ball for more prolonged periods of time.
Overall, a full work out for the most precious muscles in my body!
- Pros
- Everything, a wonderful high-end quality item.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A must for women wanting to enhance their vagina.

While Williamstown cross country coach Michelle Whaley was busy coordinating the Williamstown Invitational, junior Steven Bradford was busy cheering on his teammates and giving them tips as they ran their races.
Bradford took enough time to prepare himself for his own race, taking third in the boys' varsity race with a time of 17:32.7 despite battling a cramp in his side.
"My race wasn't as good as I wanted it to be," Bradford said. "I wanted to break 17 minutes, but I'll get it next race."
Bundled up for the cold, wet weather, Grant County freshman Sarah Kellam set a goal of making 11 pars over the course of her round in the regional tournament.
As she walked off the 18th green, she had no idea how her score held up against others at the tournament, but she was disappointed that she fell one par short of her goal.
She had a little consolation because with her score of 76, Kellam took first place by one stroke at the regional tournament at Perry Park Country Club on Sept. 29.
"Something we've been needing for a while."
With these words during the question/answer session at the Marathon Drive Sewer Expansion open forum, Corinth Mayor Billy Hill summed up the year-long process.
During the public meeting Sept. 21, Hill, City Clerk Tara Wright, Commissioner Kaye Brumley and Richard K. Smith, Project Manager of Lexington's HDR|Quest Engineering firm fielded questions from residents.
Homer and Thelma Campbell Brown celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary on Sept. 13.
They were married Sept. 13, 1943 in Tempe, Ariz. Homer was a staff sergeant in the Army Air Force.
The couple has four children, Joyce Reynolds, Sharon Brown, Faye Leach and Sheila Whaley. Their son, Carl Brown, is deceased. They also have seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
The couple have been faithful members at Corinth Christian Church.
They currently reside at Grant Manor in Williamstown.
Looking for a change of pace, the Grant County High School cross country teams decided to sleep in.
The Braves were able to because instead of waking to race early in the morning, they were going to run at night under the bright lights at the Adidas Saturday Night Lights IV in Centerville, Ohio on Sept. 26.
"It was an experience that the runners will remember," coach Marlon Kinsey. "They have worked hard and they deserved to have a little fun, but the main goal was to perform at our best. Running at night is a unique experience."
If you see me driving around Grant County, there is a 95 percent chance I'm singing in my car.
If you see me leaving the Grant County News office, there's probably a 75 percent chance I'm whistling a song that's stuck in my head.
But there is always a 100 percent chance that I've always got music on my mind.
Music is something that I am passionate about. I love getting the chance to hear new music. It's not that I'm just hearing a new song, but I get someone else's perspective on life.
Vince Gabbert, a native of Williamstown, has left the Governor's office and will gallop to Keeneland.
Gabbert, the son of Eddie and Rosie Gabbert, served as Gov. Steve Beshear's Deputy Chief of Staff where he had a wide range of duties including overseeing boards and commissions, constituent services and outreach to local, state and national officials.
Camille Woods and Joey McClanahan were united in marriage on Sept. 19 at 2380 Hogg Ridge Road in Williamstown.
The bride was given in marriage by the groom's father, Jim McClanahan.
Tabatha Nelson, sister of the bride of Blaine, Tenn., served as the maid of honor.
Brandon Jones, cousin of the groom of Corinth, served as the best man.
Jason Fletcher, a friend of the groom, and Bradley Leonard, a cousin of the groom, both of Williamstown, served as ushers.
The Grant County High school girls' soccer team was eager to get back in the win column.
The Lady Braves had lost or tied in their previous three games before coming away with a 4-0 win over Newport on Sept. 24.
"It was wet and sloppy, but it was still good to get a win," coach Melinda White said. "It was nice to put a W back on the board."

Does anyone here remember the Burcher family who lived in Tomahawk during the 1970's? My father's family lived there for a few years, and I was hoping to talk with some people who knew him, maybe to get him back in contact with old friends. His name is Robert "Bob" Burcher, and my grandfather's name is Robert "Lee" Burcher. If anyone knew them, it'd be great to talk to you and get them in contact!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
