With each year come new laws and amendments to older laws that are signed into law by the governor.
Bills are introduced to the Legislature, lobbied for and, if things go right for the advocates of that bill, they are signed into law. That's the short version.
I'm sure that with some deep thought, and perhaps a few adult beverages, almost all of you would have a long list of laws that need changing. For instance, there's the old law that says you need to keep a gun on you when you're traveling to church in your covered wagon and need to keep your family safe from Indians. Or maybe the law was to keep the Indians safe from your ex-wife. I don't know.
Every January and July, these laws go into effect. Some have dramatic effects and some are more subtle. On the local level, for example, back in 2006 Sandy Springs adopted a change in the ordinance that required drinking establishments to close at 2 a.m. instead of 4 a.m. There was such furor and rage that people took buses to the city council meetings to protest.
It was odd because most didn't really know a lot about the city and some admitted they were making a few bucks by showing up to protest. But they certainly looked serious.
Dressed in plain clothes. and out of curiosity, I decided to speak to the protesters:
Me: "What are you protesting about?"
Protester: "I'm not sure; check with that guy over there."
Me (To That Guy Over There): "Sir, what are you protesting about?"
Guy Over There: "Uh, well, I'm protesting the closing of the bars."
Me: "What time did they close before?"
Guy Over There: "Uh, 3, 4, 5?"
Me: "What time do they want the bars closed?"
Guy Over There: "Look, pal, I don't know. I'm from Detroit and they put us on a bus and paid us 40 bucks to come here and hold this sign. Is this even City Hall?"
Although changing a local ordinance can cause some uproar, as this one did, the funny thing is just about all of our pre-existing bar problems went away. It seemed a lot of the problems were happening between 2 and 4 in the morning. Good advice: If you can't get it done by 2, cut your losses and hit the Waffle House or just go home.
Laws that are badly needed
There are two laws that I would love to see as soon as possible:
1) A new law that would ban the sound effect of screeching brakes and breaking glass on AM and/or FM radio.
There I was just driving along on 400, listing to crummy drive-time radio and wishing I had a better CD collection, when suddenly I hear screeching brakes! I reacted by scrunching up my shoulder around my ears and putting the death-grip on the steering wheel as I awaited the impact.
Several things ran through my mind:
It takes only a second or two before you realize all this stress is actually coming from the radio and not real life. For me, I can't just shake it off. That is a serious freak-out and I cannot just bounce back. I have to pull over and just lie there in the fetal position for an hour.
If you can't sell insurance or your legal practice without using screeching tires and brakes laced with the impact sound of glass shattering, then maybe you need to move your advertising to the side of a bus.
2) My second new law would ban the "Siren of Death."
Not the distant siren that slowly gets louder, but rather the exploding siren that tells you that whatever is coming already got here, and there's a good chance you're being run over!
Two words: Heart attack!
This, too, must be banned forever.

There's one sound effect on radio commercials that definitely needs to be banned and that's the siren. I don't hear too well due to sticking my head inside jet engines back when aircraft carriers still had sails. I can, however, hear sirens. When I do hear a siren, my first reaction is to tap the brake pedal and start looking around. Then after a few seconds, I realize it's some barker on the radio hawking something I would never buy in the first place. The person drafting me gets angry and blows their horn for me to speed up. I turn on my left blinker and slink down in the seat so that only my knuckles are visible on the top of the steering wheel and proceed slowly hoping that they think I took a wrong turn somewhere in Florida.

Well, NPR doesn't have those screeching-crashing commercials, so you could listen to it. But, then, lately they have really been promoting communism, so you have to listen with discernment.
But I agree, they should not be allowed on the radio.

The main traffic law I'd like to see changed is the one where people in the second or third lane of the interstates suddenly realize they are about to miss their exit, and decide the best way to handle that is to suspend the laws of physics -specifically momentum and inertia- and turn their cars sideways to the direction of travel so they can cut across two or three lanes of traffic and make it to the exit ramp.
If traffic happens to be in the way, well they they just suspend molecular density too and go right through anyone in the way.
Sometimes this works. Many times it ends up on the back of a tow truck or in an ER.
Clearly one of the things lacking in driver education is the entire chapter about what to do when you miss your turn. Apparently the concept of going to the next exit or street and turning around is just not known.

Sort like not being able to yell fire in a theater.

Amen Festus. That radio siren gets me every single time.
I agree with you too, Patrick. Lt. Steve, any chance you could arrange for maybe a mototcycle cop to hang out at the 285E to 400 exit in the afternoon and ticket all the boneheads who avoid the exit line only to STOP in the next lane over to squeeze in at the last minute? I would be greatful!

When is Sandy Springs going to outlaw(and enforce if made into a law) the playing of music that can be heard more than 50 feet away. They have used this successfully in Florida for many years to control the noise pollution coming from cars.
August 11th, 2010
11:15 am
Ah Frank! Good point and I'm in on that one. Seems like the QT on Roswell Road is the place for sound testing after 9 p.m. We have the noise ordinance that reads "excessive noise" but car noise is kind of in the gray area. Good call though.
August 11th, 2010
12:45 pm
see its those noises that keep me amused in traffic.
wait for the screeching tire/busting glass commercial and then look around in traffic to see who all else was listening to that commerical. usually, it's the guy directly in front of me.
August 11th, 2010
4:08 pm
Yeah, I agree on both counts but how about enforcing the laws concerning turn signals first? It always amazes me how so many drivers think I have the ability to read their minds.
August 12th, 2010
6:34 am
More Laws, and More Laws and More Laws. When the Corporation fraudulently posing as a government finally runs out of ways to micro manage your life, they just make breathing a felony, if it already isn't.

I agree with the radio issue. It drives me nuts! But I wish they would enforce the aggressive driving laws. I wonder how many of those tickets have been issued? Usually when I see one of these drivers there are not any police around! The changing 3 lanes to get to your exit should qualify as aggressive driving. What about following to close? I had a lady in a black fourrunner about eat my bumper the other day. should have brake checked her but I had a passenger in the car and knowing my luck she probably had no insurance or minimum limits!!
August 12th, 2010
7:42 am
also, i think they should add child endangerment charges to people who are speeding, following to closely and aggressive driving when they have kids in the cars. Those are the worst. Guess they don't realize they have their kids lives in their hands,they only care about getting somewhere fast
August 12th, 2010

Nancy, did you ever think about getting out of the passing lane ??
August 13th, 2010
8:41 am
your name says it all… I was on a 2 lane road not the freaking highway and in the right lane. My office is on the right side, but I guess I could be like you and make my turn from the left hand lane.

One more law, illegal to drive with any hand held device in you hands besides a steering wheel. EX. hair brush, lipstick, cell phone, blow dryer, cigareette, any kind of drink and etc.
August 13th, 2010
4:35 pm
I'm for immediate corporal punishment for any drivers who do not know how to go through a 4-way or 3-way stop. 5-10 lashes with a wide belt should do it. Immediate, as in pull over and smack them right there on the side of the street.
Also, tickets with HEFTY fines for people parking in the fire lanes or illiegally parking in a handicap space.
August 13th, 2010
6:28 pm
I agree about the siren, screeching breaks, and breaking glass. Many times I have looked around for a public safety vehicle while slowing down to let them pass or whatever, only to have the driver behind me hawk his horn at me. delightful, road rage, always a good thing for a middle age woman who can not physically protect herself.
There should be laws for endangering nosie coming from the radio.

$1000 fine for people who pull up and stop at right turn merge lanes when they have hundreds of feet of acceleration lane open just for them.
August 15th, 2010
3:00 am
Yes, they need also make a law that slow moving traffic is not allowed in the left lane. Similar to the one in Germany, all slow moving traffic needs to be in the right lane, if you ride the left lane you get a ticket. how about folks that get off an exit and have Keep Moving sign but stop. Or those that merge onto highways going 30 mile per hour, or those that in rush hour keep 3 car lengths in front of them so that other cars either can't get on the road, pass by them to get on the turning lane or one for rubber necking, how is it that when one simple car is pulled over by a cop and they are on the shoulder we must have a traffic jam. Then one for cars that think they can cut the line in getting onto the connectors and cause a massive traffic jam because they are trying to weesel their way in, especially on 285 to get on Spaghetti Junction. Even those cars on 400 that ride the cruise lane all the way up in hopes to cut line again and they know they need to pay, causing a traffic jam for cruise card holders. I could go on and on. Georgia Drivers are just bad drivers all around!
August 15th, 2010
7:27 am
@ Nancy….Stomping on the break to protest someone following too close is more aggressive and far more dangerous than anything you commented on. If someones on your bumper try getting out of the fast lane. You're a bigger menace and obviously more angry than the guy who over shoots his exit. Get off your high horse and be a little less arrogant about who's in the wrong and who's in the right.
August 15th, 2010
7:28 am
Leary, thank heavens you warned us about the dangerous NPR plan to lure us into godless communism with their no commercials and news for adults that doesn't suck. I was was so deluded I was planning to emigrate to North Korea! Luckily, I got a strong dose of Sean Hannity and Neil Boortz and it brought me back to "reality".
August 15th, 2010

What about those drivers who recline their seats so the top of their head is visible. They can't be driving defensively and their response time has surely bottomed out.
August 15th, 2010
10:32 am
Things I want to invent: A button to push when someone's music is so loud it is giving me diarrhea. It will emit silent sound waves that blow up the speakers.
A giant pancake flipper that will slide out from under my car, going under the guy in front of me who cut in (especially at the last minute instead of waiting his turn) and FLIP the car back to the end of the line, or a half-mile, whichever is more.
BTW, I think all cars parking in the fire lanes and handicapped zones illegally should be TOWED and IMPOUNDED, even if there is a "watcher" in the car waiting for the person. If the car is empty, it should be CRUSHED. The same for those who ride in the HOV lanes–no tickets–tow and impound the car. A little walking might give the miscreants some perspective.
We could take care of these problems with some strict enforcement, I think.
August 15th, 2010
10:59 am
Hey, Get out? Nancy already explained that she was in the RIGHT lane and not on a highway when that incident occurred, so maybe you're just a huge bully. A little reading comprehension will do you just fine.
August 17th, 2010
12:11 am
Kristikreme: I'm not buying Nancy's last lie, are you? Before she had time to come up with her 'good excuse" she wrote:
"The changing 3 lanes to get to your exit should qualify as aggressive driving. What about following to close? I had a lady in a black fourrunner about eat my bumper the other day. should have brake checked her but I had a passenger in the car and knowing my luck she probably had no insurance or minimum limits!!"
Changing three lanes does not suggest a two lane road. Nancy wanted to "brake check" the person which suggests that not only is she passively aggressive, but also that she KNOWS her stupid ass was in the left lane going slow. She already re-enforced her inherent passive aggressive traits by her arrogant comment to "goober."
"Get out of the fast lane" nailed it right on the head, that stupid beotch Nancy needs to learn how to drive and needs to get the hell out of the fast lane. She stays in the fast lane because when she is there, she doesn't have to do anything. SHE is the road block. Nothing is in front of her since she is holding up all traffic. SHE has decided what speed all those behind her should drive because SHE is the Goddess who decides these things. Then she lies about it. How quaint……….
August 17th, 2010

Yet another in the legion of aggressive egotists who pull stuff in their cars that they wouldn't dare try OUT of the car, in person, face to face.

Why is it whenever you talk about bad drivers, those who don't obey the speed limits come out and try to teach us all about the "rules of the road", (read "Stay out of my way"). Guys, check any true listing of the Rules of the Road and you will most likely find "Obey all traffic laws" right at the top. Trying to claim your "rights" while breaking the law is idiotic.
(I despise the sirens on the radio too.)

India is piling on the diplomatic pressure to convince the international community to lean on Pakistan to crack down on Islamist militants blamed by New Delhi for the Mumbai attacks.
According to the Times of India, "India has made it clear to the U.S. and Iran as well as Pakistan's key allies, China and Saudi Arabia, that they need to do more to use their clout to pressure Pakistan into acting..." The Press Trust of India (PTI), quoted by The Hindu, said India had used a visit by Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal to Delhi to drive home the same message.
As discussed previously on this blog, in the immediate aftermath of the Mumbai attacks, India's response was to look to the United States to put pressure on Pakistan. It also appears to have won some support from Russia, whose officials said publicly that the attacks were funded by Dawood Ibrahim, an underworld don who India says lives in Pakistan. China, Pakistan's traditional ally, supported the United Nations Security Council in blacklisting the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the charity accused of being a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba. China's Foreign Minister has also telephoned his counterparts in India and Pakistan urging dialogue, according to Xinhua.
And to complete the tour of the permanent members of the Security Council, Britain blamed Pakistan-based militants for the Mumbai attacks, while France has also called on Pakistan to take action.
That's a fairly broad consensus in favour of diplomatic pressure. There certainly seem to be more players more visibly involved than in 2001/2002 when India and Pakistan came to the brink of war over an attack on the Indian parliament that India blamed on Pakistan-based militants. You might therefore be tempted to argue that the diplomatic approach is working -- and as long as this stands a chance, the prospects of military escalation are slim.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
In response to the person who said that Walnut was all white and racist...you have got to be kidding me. Anyone who believes this needs to go ask any black person in Walnut. Its a southern town yes but race is not an issue here. We are united together as one to better ourselves and each other. Its about team work here not color!
This is one of the best schools the state of MS can offer! Pedagogy reigns supreme here! The teachers are student-centered and goal-oriented. Through best practice methods and varied teaching styles, the teachers encourage and challenge all students daily. One problem the school faces is a lack of administrative leadership. To be an excellent school, you need an excellent leader. The school is missing this important ingredient. It is the key reason I did not give the school five stars.
Walnut is a great school. The Teachers are great. The food is terrible,but the lunch ladies are friendly.
I believe that Walnut is the best school in Tippah County. As a student of Walnut I know that they have the best teachers in the state such as Coach Love Mr.Meeks, Mrs.Newsom, and many many more. I also know for a fact that the teachers at Walnut do not choose favorites and they also help all the children that want help. A child has to want to help themselves before they will allow anyone else to help them. I would recommend this school to anyone.
I would highly recommend this school to anyone. This school has recieved the highest academic rating that a school can recieve in the state. My children are both excelling at this school and love attending this excellent school. The state has put into place a system to rate schools based on academic performance. It is a state wide system. Walnut Elementary was rated a level 5 school, which is the best score atainable. Both of my children have excelled academically and socially. I do not think that they could get a better education at any school anywhere. The atmosphere at the school is wonderful. The students are happy and the teachers are fair to everyone! I am proud that my children attend a school where all students are treated equally regardless of race, academic performance, or economic status.
My child ranked 4th in the nation academically before entering this Mississippi elementary school. The teachers have their pick of certain family children from the area to excel. The teaching staff consists of all white teachers and a white principal. I would never recommend this school to another non white family. My high achieving daughter has declined in her grades and has been constantly made to feel that only white children deserve to exceed in academics. I let my child complete the school year but we will be removing our child from this school for the next school year.

Cindarion De'Angelo Butler, 16, has been certified to stand trial as an adult for his role in the Aug. 4 gang beating of Ray Widstrand on St. Paul's east side.
Butler is charged with first-degree assault and first-degree aggravated robbery, plus two charges of committing a crime for the benefit of a gang. According to the charges, Butler was the man seen stomping on Widstrand's face. Bus surveillance video allegedly shows a woman sitting next to Butler, saying, "you was fighting with him, you got blood and ---- on your shoes."
Three other members of the Ham Crazy gang have been charged as juveniles for taking part in the attack.
Widstrand, 27, was walking home on Aug. 4 when he came across a group of 40 to 50 young people who were fighting in the street. He was knocked down, beaten and stomped on. The mob even took off his pants to rifle through them.

Damn. I've got a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card lying around, and I was getting all excited thinking I could pick it up for $5. Unfortunately, Barnes and Noble is still listing it as $50 via Gamestop.
$29.99 at Gamestop, if you have one near you.

Search a suitable generic or branded drugs, if you could not find the prescribed medicine. This site does not supply any medicines. It contains prices for information purposes only.
You should consult a doctor about the dosage before using this medicine!
Orapred inhibits the activity of phospholipase A2 which leads to suppression of the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This medication inhibits the release of COX (especially COX-2), which also helps reduce the production of prostaglandins.
Orapred reduces the number of circulating lymphocytes (T-and B-cells), monocytes, eosinophils and basophils as a result of their displacement from the bloodstream into lymphoid tissue; suppresses the formation of antibodies.
Orapred inhibits the release of pituitary ACTH and beta-lipotropina but it does not reduces the level of circulating beta-endorphin. This drug also inhibits the secretion of TSH and FSH.
Orapred has a vasoconstrictor effect with direct application to the vessels.
Orapred has a pronounced dose-dependent effect on the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It stimulates gluconeogenesis, amino acid contributes to the capture of the liver and kidneys and increases the activity of enzymes of gluconeogenesis. In the liver, Orapred enhances the deposition of glycogen by stimulating the activity of glikogensintetazy and synthesis of glucose from the products of protein metabolism. This medicine increases blood glucose activates the secretion of insulin.
Orapred inhibits glucose uptake by fat cells that leads to the activation of lipolysis. However, due to an increase in insulin secretion is stimulated lipogenesis which contributes to the accumulation of fat.
Orapred also has catabolic effects in lymphoid and connective tissue, muscle, adipose tissue, skin, bone tissue. To a lesser extent than hydrocortisone Orapred affects the processes of water and electrolyte metabolism: promotes the excretion of potassium and calcium, delay in the body of sodium and water. Osteoporosis and Itsenko-Cushing's syndrome are the main factors limiting the long-term therapy with corticosteroids. As a result of the catabolic actions it may suppress growth in children.
In high doses prednisone can increase the excitability of brain tissue and contributes to lowering the threshold of convulsive readiness. This medication stimulates the excessive production of hydrochloric acid and pepsin in the stomach which leads to the development of peptic ulcers.
When systemic use the therapeutic activity of Orapred is due to anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative action.
For external and local application the therapeutic activity of Orapred is due to anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and antiexudative (due to vasoconstrictor effect) effect.
As compared with hydrocortisone the anti-inflammatory activity of Orapred is 4 times greater, the mineralocorticoid activity is 0.6 times smaller.
Orapred is a synthetic glucocorticoid used as antiinflammatory or immunosuppressive agent. Orapred is indicated in the treatment of various conditions, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, bullous dermatitis herpetiformis, seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis, allergic corneal marginal ulcers, symptomatic sarcoidosis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in adults, leukemias and lymphomas in adults, and ulcerative colitis. Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical steroids and cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In addition, they modify the body's immune responses to diverse stimuli.
Indication: For the treatment of primary or secondary adrenocortical insufficiency, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, thyroiditis. Also used to treat psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, bursitis, acute gouty arthritis and epicondylitis. Also indicated for treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, pemphigus and acute rhematic carditis. Can be used in the treatment of leukemias, lymphomas, thrombocytopenia purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Can be used to treat celiac disease, insulin resistance, ulcerative colitis and liver disorders.

Group forum tab is vanished
I'm using buddypress.1.8.1, bbPress 2.3.2, wordpress-3.5.2 and buddypress default theme.
When I go to create a group, it is created without any issue.
But, after that I went to group Admin–>settings just clicked again save settings button.
As a result of that group forum tab was vanished.
Since, I'm new to buddypress, I don't know whether this is a my fault or not.
Now I'm working on localhost wamp server.
What could be the problem?

Making a Mark - My Last Scribble
When I first came to Bethany, I knew God led me here for a reason. This is my school. This is where He has plans for me. Reflecting my years here, I wonder what kind of impact I have made on BC. I know Bethany has made a major impact on my life, but I also hope I have influenced Bethany, too! I want to leave my footprints. I want to come back as an alumna and see growth in all the areas I have been involved here. I want "BCCD" to be winning national titles and continue to grow. I want peer ministry to continue to be one of the favorite classes and loving group it is now. I want chapel filled every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I want our SAB to continue to be the coolest campus activities team in Kansas. I want Prayer Group to continue to lift our campus' needs to God. I am excited for God to reveal the next chapter in my life. Until then, I will continue to have faith and live life with passion— knowing that He will use all aspects of my life in some way and not take any of it for granted!
Thank you all for your time and support in reading my blog. I'll have you know that your comments and reactions have contributed to my completion of the Honor's Program at Bethany, which I am very proud of! Not only has it helped me fulfill requirements, but every comment has touched my heart in a major way. I did not expect the intrinsic gratitude that came with this experience. I am truly blessed beyond belief.
Pray :)
Prayer has always been an important aspect of my life. It's the most powerful tool we have, and we can do it anytime, anywhere! I love praying. It gives me purpose, power, and brings me closer to God. Matthew 18:20 reminds us of the power of prayer in groups.
A few years ago, I was feeling inspired and decided to start a group here at Bethany with that verse as the foundation. Prayer Group met every other week just to pray. There were never more than five people at the meetings, but the empowerment and relief that followed was indescribable!
However, it became inconsistent. It wasn't working out. This was hard for me to understand. Surely, if the Lord brought this idea to me, it would work out, right? Well, when we had a break over summer, I prayed and analyzed what to do for the next year. I realized that going to a group just to pray is very hard for many people! It's scary to pray aloud and it's even scarier to open up to strangers and pray together about personal struggles. I knew I needed to change this group if it were going to live on.
I decided to try something new. Prayer Group went virtual. I sent out a campus-wide email, asking if anybody was interested in receiving emails with prayer requests and praises. Instead of narrowing the opportunity to students, I opened up this group to all students, faculty, and staff members at Bethany.
And this group was a success! Although the first "Prayer Group" faded, it gave way to this new group. I still send out the weekly emails. I keep a journal of the prayer requests and I love looking at the way God answers prayers over time! He has cured four people of cancer, provided comfort for many hurting people and families, and has showered blessings over our college since Prayer Group began! I receive emails of encouragement, updates, and uplifting words from members of Prayer Group every week! It has become an incredible way of keeping in touch, tying our campus community together in a spiritual way, and has touched so many lives. I see it growing even more in the future.
For this to happen, I had to take a step back and analyze the group when it was not working. We've all heard of the phrase, "If at first you don't succeed, try try again." What we need to realize is that "try try again" needs to be slightly different until we get it right.
Insanity is to do the same thing repeatedly with expectations of a different end result. I had to try developing Prayer Group again, but this time in a different way. Sometimes we forget that element of the process and get frustrated when nothing changes. But other times, when we use a new approach, the failure of a good idea opens a door to make it into something great.
"It only takes one time to get addicted." I realize this is true for many things, things I never want to try. I did not realize it was true of running. Yet, here I am—a girl who, three years ago would only run if her life depended on it—training for a marathon. What I thought was just a mid-summer run has led me down a path leading running to be a major part of my life.
The funny thing is, I went on this run out of spite. I had been waiting for over a month to receive my summer workout for cheerleading, and I was giving up hope that my coach would ever send it to me. But, I didn't want to waste my summer away. I spend as much time defending cheerleading as a college sport as I do talking about it in general. I wasn't about to admit that as a "college athlete" I spent my summer sitting around watching the grass grow. However, I didn't know the first thing about working out, nor did I have access to a gym anywhere. The only thing I knew was that running is free, and I don't need a personal trainer to teach me how to do it. So, I ran. I was at about a snail pace at first, and thought my legs just might fall off after running a mile. However these runs sparked something in me. Running is a stress-reliever! Besides, after the first couple of miles, my legs would go numb to the pain anyway. It was the perfect getaway—free, healthy, and possible to do nearly anywhere. When I would run, I used it as a time to reflect, spend time in God's creation, and pray. As with most things that are actually good for you, it was extremely hard at first. But it was wonderful.
That next fall, I continued to run in order to relieve stress and talk to God. I didn't do it every day, nor did I expect to really make a habit of it. Nevertheless, one day the cross-country coach stopped and asked me to join the team. Ha! I laughed in his face! I wasn't trying to be rude—I legitimately thought he was joking. I tried convincing him that he didn't want me on his team and that I was the slowest runner ever, but he persisted. He asked me to do a 2-mile time trial that weekend to see how I did. I remember showing up to that time trial thinking, "this is going to be a waste of time and an embarrassment of myself and him for thinking I could do this." I was praying during the run, just asking God to make my time reveal His will for me. The last time I had ran a timed mile was my freshman year of high school, and I ran it in 9:27. I had no expectations as to what time I would finish. I just kept praying and pushing myself to run at the right speed, and leave it up to God and the coach to decide if I was good enough to be on the team. My strength could only have come from the Lord, because I ran even faster than the coach had anticipated. He did not anticipate something else I did while I ran—I smiled. I was smiling while I was running, because I was talking to God. It was beautiful outside and it was a perfect time to worship! I always smile when I run.
I spent the next year and a half running track and cross-country for Bethany College. During this time, I learned what it meant to stretch myself, push beyond limits, and meet goals. No one could tell me I wasn't a college athlete now! I set a personal record with every race I ran while on the Bethany College track team. My coach was filling my head with thoughts of going to nationals by my senior year. But that wasn't in God's plans for me. As much as I learned on this team, the addiction to running was taking over.
I began to focus so hard on meeting my times, eating and sleeping well, and doing everything right that I forgot the reason why I ran to begin with. I went to bed by 9:00 PM every night, felt guilty about eating a cookie, and it would ruin my entire week if I didn't meet a goal in practice one day. I would cry and get all worked up over missing my target times by only a few seconds. It was starting to consume me. I constantly thought about what I should be doing better, when I would be able to fit running into my busy schedule, and how I would improve every day. It's great to set goals, but anything in excess can be damaging. I forgot that I run to spend time with God and I want to glorify Him in doing so. I was certainly not glorifying Him in this. I realized that I stopped running for the right reasons after a stressful day, when my workout brought me to an ultimate low. I was about to give up on so much and I didn't give God a second thought, when before I would have been praying the duration of my run. I wasn't smiling anymore.
After I came to terms that I cannot actually do everything, I prayed long and hard about my position on the team. With my insane schedule, I had to give something up—I was too stressed and had stretched myself too thin. Track was the only thing I could part with losing. When I told my coach, I expected him to be so mad. After all, he had invested a year and half of time in me. Every day, he personalized my workouts, gave me direction both in running and in life, and taught me so much about far more than running. I felt like his personal project, and I failed him. I was so scared of that conversation when I would tell him I was giving up on myself, after he had refused to give up on me. But to my surprise, he completely supported my decision. He knew I was doing too much and he respected my choice to end this chapter of my life.
Although my time on the team was over, I wasn't done running. I continued to run and still run all the time now. I may even run more than I did when I was on the team! I ran my first half marathon on September 25, 2011. I ran a ten-mile race over Thanksgiving break this year. My next goal is to run a full marathon in April, God willing. Even though I quit the Bethany squad, I have no regrets. I joined in God's timing and I quit in God's timing. I learned principles that I will continue to live by for the rest of my life. I learned what it means to be healthy, to exercise regularly, to take care of my body. I learned about relationships, teamwork, and working through trials. If I had not joined that team, I wouldn't be as healthy as I am today. You still would never find me anywhere near a gym or weight room (unless I was cheering, of course). I wouldn't be studying health and physical education. And I definitely wouldn't be running double digit races for fun. I have met some incredible people through running—people I plan to keep close to my heart for the rest of my life. The lessons I've learned through running are endless.
The best part is, it all took me by surprise. I would never have predicted that I would ever run more than the distance from the parking lot to the store on a cold day. But God took what I thought was an insignificant event and changed my life around. The same lessons keep reoccurring in my life. I never knew that going to an open gym one random night would lead me to become a college cheerleader. When I wanted a clear answer of whether to join the track and cross-country team, God answered my prayer with a clear "yes" by giving me the strength to blow away my coaches expectations with that trail run. He did the same when I wondered if Bethany was the right school for me. When I thought some of those workouts would kill me, it made me stronger—just like my freshman Honor's seminar, it taught me what a true challenge is. And the same way that "filler class" which I took for fun changed my life, running helped steer me to ultimately pursue teaching health and P.E. Lastly, I was able to learn so much from my experiences because I chose to run on my own—I ran for the first time without the influence or demands of anybody else. I know there's a connection between all of these events. I know that God is using my past and present to shape my future. I am excited to continue to draw connections as God reveals the significant and not so significant events in my life.
Make a Plan
I don't think I'll ever know what I want to be when I grow up, nor will I ever actually stick to a plan from start to finish. I change my mind every day. I envy those people who play doctor in second grade, go on to college and then graduate school, and follow their dreams from the time they were eight years old. Does that really happen for people?
I have daydreamed about my options for my future since the first adult asked me that dreadful question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I always hate those kinds of questions. "What do you plan to do when you graduate?" "Where do you want to live when you're older?" "Do you plan to go to grad school?" I don't know! The good news is it's okay not to know.
Plans change. Life happens. We can plan our entire life away, only for it to be stripped from us in one instant. This doesn't go to show that we should not make plans. It only means that we should make plans, and have goals that lead us until we find ourselves seeking a new plan or new goals.
I figured out trying is an important part of the equation when i declared a psychology major. Author Rita Mae Brown said, "A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one." My decision to sign that paper saying I would study psychology at Bethany College gave me an indescribable sense of empowerment. I made that decision on my own, for my own good. Even though i eventually changed my mind, and am not a Health and P.E. major, the fact that I made the decision in the first place led me to where I am now.
I have a year left until i have to make another major decision. One year from now, i plan to be ready to graduate with a degree in Health and Physical Education and find a teaching job. Although I am working toward that goal with passion and commitment, i know that the reality is that those plans might change. I will never forget my first decision to study psychology. Making that decision on my own was a breakthrough for me to realize what it means to "keep my options open" but still have a purpose and a goal in mind.
Tell me about something you did for fun that ended up changing your life. What insignificant events have turned out to be something you'll never forget?
This is the dance we had to watch, learn, and write out the steps for our first assignment in Elementary and Secondary Rhythms.
Filler Shapes Future
[fil- er klas-es]: noun
1. easy courses we take for fun, but don't ever intend to use what we learn in the future; This semester is so easy. All I'm taking are filler classes!
We all take them as a break from our more intense classes. We find out what classes we can take in which we can goof off, have fun, and not actually have to learn. One of my first filler classes turned out to be a lot more challenging than I expected, and I actually did use what I learned in the future. I took it during Interterm of my freshman year—elementary and secondary rhythms, A.K.A. dance class for kids!
If you're not familiar with Bethany's Interterm, it's a time of cramming one full-semester course into three weeks of classes between the fall and spring semester classes. It could be torture, but most students figure this out early and take those wonderful filler classes during this time. They offer some intense classes, like Statistics and Young Adult Literature. However, they also offer fun classes like Bookmaking, Sports Officiating, and Rhythms. So instead, Interterm becomes a month of fun, hanging out with friends, and only going to class for two hours a day. It's awesome.
Albert Schweitzer quotes
CHALLENGE: Work at something that makes you want to quit. The challenge of the Freshman Honors Seminar was so tough; I didn't think I would make it. That's what made it a genuine challenge. It was the first time I really faced a struggle in my academics, and the first time I was fully able to understand what a challenge is. If you never have to push through thoughts of giving up, you haven't experienced a true challenge. Describe a time you faced a challenge and wanted to give up, but stuck it out through the tribulations. How did you feel? What did you learn? Has there been a time you did give up and wished you had endured it? What did you learn from that experience?
Defining "Challenge"
"Mom, I can't do this! I want out! It's just not worth the stress anymore," I spit out between sobs over the phone. "I'm only half-way through my first honors course and I just don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. It's ruining my college life! I am so stressed.
I've never felt so challenged or struggled so much in my life. I have so far to go, and I'm just not cut out for this honors stuff. Can I quit? Can I please just be done?"
After waiting for me to calm down enough to hear her over my gasps, my mom comforted me, "Honey, I know you can do this. It's Halloween weekend. Go out, have fun, and don't worry! Call me on Monday and we'll talk about it then." This response made me so mad! I wanted her to say I could quit. I wanted her to tell me that it was up to me and she would support me if I chose not to be in the Honor's program anymore. But she didn't. She had more faith in me than I had in myself. And I'm so glad she did. By continuing with this course and with the Honor's program, I learned a so much and gained from the experience.
The first thing I learned in this class was that I am not the smartest person in the world (contrary to common belief). I actually had to try in this class! Even more, when I did actually try, I did not always get a guaranteed A. In high school, I never dealt with this. School always came easy to me, and as long as I did the work, I got the grade. This class made me realize that sometimes in life, trying is not enough. Sometimes, even when we do the best we can and put in all our effort, we still don't get the results we want. For example, to connect this explicitly to my cheerleading experience, I have been trying to learn to tumble (cheerleader talk for flips and stuff) for three years. Putting in hours of practice several days every week does not guarantee that I will accomplish my goals. I still don't know how to tumble. But I'm still working. And that's what matters.
Through this first revolution, I learned how to challenge myself. I had never had to work so hard at something in my life. I didn't know what a challenge truly was! I learned how to work at my academics, how to stretch my mind, and how to discover my capabilities through dedication and tears. to my cheerleading experience, I have been trying to learn to tumble (cheerleader talk for flips and stuff) for three years. Putting in hours of practice several days every week does not guarantee that I will accomplish my goals. I still don't know how to tumble. But I'm still working. And that's what matters.
The Honor's course also taught me to have an open mind. The course subject was about human nature: what it is to be human. We read many books by different thinkers exploring the human condition. Each author approached the question differently and from a different academic perspective. The diversity of the books alone was far beyond my previous reading experiences, and adding my classmates' beliefs and comments on these books broadened my scope even more.
Although I may have cried countless tears, pulled too many all-nighters, and ate pounds of chocolate through this course—I did it. I made it through. Looking back, I can confidently say that this course is the single most influential and beneficial class I have ever taken. It stretched me academically, socially, and spiritually. I learned how to think! I learned how to analytically read and interpret texts in a way I had never even tried before. My roommate was taking the course with me. Going through this together strengthened our relationship the same as any trial strengthens those who endure it together. It not only solidified our friendship, but also it forced me to grow closer to my other classmates, and those who supported me while I took it (thanks, Mom!). Because of the nature of the course and defending my position in class discussions, I grew more confident and secure in my beliefs. I recognized my own philosophy on humanity and life itself. These are all areas in which one needs to grow for a healthy life. I could not have made these leaps in my maturity without this course. I am proud of who I became through it all.
When I went to that open gym for cheerleading, I had no idea where it would take me. When I went on my first college visit, I was unaware of the adventures that would follow. However, when I chose to enter the honors program and chose to take this particular course, I knew it would challenge me. I knew it would help me to grow. Sometimes in life, we don't know the ways in which we will grow. Sometimes we do know that the decisions we make will help us to grow, but just don't know to what extent. Think about each decision you make in a day, a month, a year. Every decision, big or small, plays a role in your life story. Sometimes we know an event will be significant, and others take us by surprise.
Answered prayers
November 1, 2008. 8:37 AM. Lindsborg, KS—5 miles. All I can see is fields. The radio station just dropped. Where is this road taking me? No cell phone service. "Great. This is going to be a long day, visiting a college I probably won't even attend," I muttered to myself.
I'm sure many prospective students go through this mental process as they travel to Bethany College for the first time. It was definitely, what was going through my mind when I first visited! However, when I actually got to town, this negative perception began to change. My first exposure to this college was like my first time at a college cheer open gym. Before I saw it for myself, I never really showed an interest at all. I still remember Tricia Hawk's welcome as she kicked off the "Swede Friday" event. She was so enthusiastic and had so much passion when she spoke. She talked about Bethany, how great of a school it is, but then acknowledged that it is not the school for everyone. She told us about her son, who was planning to go to KU. This personal testimony and honest reflection was what made her speech so impactful. She encouraged us to search and find the best place for us—whether it was Bethany or not.
Stop the Stereotype!
My preconceived notions of what cheerleaders are like and who they are almost stopped me from following my dreams. Once I let go of these stereotypes, I was able to expand my horizons and become the person I am today.
My question to you is, what stereotypes are holding you back? What have you always wanted to do that you never allowed yourself to explore? I challenge you to try that thing you always had your eye on but never explored. Who knows, it may change your entire future! And when you do— tell me about it! Share your thoughts and experiences on my blog!

The insurgent push to make U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston of Savannah the next chairman of the House Appropriations Committee continues apace today with his appearance before the all-important steering committee.
On Monday evening, Tea Party Patriots held a telephone conference call that featured a bit of campaigning by two of the three candidates for the job. Reports Politico.com:
Tea partiers who listened to Reps. Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.) and Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) on a conference call Monday night overwhelmingly favored Kingston to head the House Appropriations panel.
81 percent of the members of the Tea Party Patriots group who voted on the call said they wanted to see Kingston as committee chair, while 15 percent said they supported Lewis. Just five percent of the callers said they wanted to see longtime earmarker Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) lead the panel.
The group's leaders put out a glowing description of Kingston over the weekend, and had less enthusiastic words for Lewis and Rogers.
Hours earlier, the tax-averse Club for Growth formally endorsed Kingston:
"If fiscal conservatives want to get control of federal spending, we must first get control of the Appropriations Committee. And Jack Kingston gives us the best chance to accomplish that goal."
But Kingston's biggest cheerleader remains the Wall Street Journal, which on Monday posted a PowerPoint presentation that the Georgia congressman is using to outline his approach.
Kingston highlights his communication skills, and also advocates a closer alliance with Washington's anti-tax groups. In a section on "destroying the infrastructure of spending," the congressman suggests putting "our friends" to work.
"Appropriators should regularly meet with Heritage, Cato, Americans for Tax Reform, American Conservative Union and others to exchange ideas and keep the ground war running," Kingston writes.
In Atlanta, House Speaker David Ralston on Monday vowed to protect the HOPE Scholarship program – despite a dire shortfall. From Dave Williams and the Atlanta Business Chronicle:
…Ralston told members of the Atlanta Rotary Club on Monday that the state made a promise to voters when they approved the Georgia Lottery that must be kept despite the program's current financial difficulties.
"I believe the HOPE Scholarship program is a big part of why we now have a first-class higher education system in Georgia," he said. "I don't want to see us back away from our commitment."
On a related topic, Ralston said K-12 public schools in Georgia already have sacrificed as much as they can stand in budget cuts since the recession began three years ago.
Lawmakers will face a shortfall of up to $2 billion when the General Assembly convenes in January.
But Ralston said the schools should be spared from further spending reductions.
"I'm hoping to stay off that turf as we move forward," he said.
Advocates for a state version of the Fair Tax will be among those making their pitches at a final meeting of a tax reform council meeting at the Atlanta campus of Mercer University on Wednesday.
Here's a look at what Georgians for Fair Taxation has submitted to the council.

They'd better uphold the HOPE scholarships! I haven't been buying lottery tickets all these years because I actually thought I might win! I've paid into the "system" and my A-student kids had better get what was promised.

Galloway—you slimeball!! Calling Tea Party groups "Anti-Tax" is your socialist way to pigeonhole people who want reasonable taxes and representative government as extremists.
If you had even an ounce of journalistic integrity, you would call these groups "constitutionalists", or Federalists.
Instead, your headline will have them viewed as "radical right wing extremists".
Tell me again how new subscriptions to the AJC are going and ask yourself what your contribution is?

Tea Partiers a "special interest group"?? You must be kidding!
There is no central control, leadership, head or clearing house for the Tea Party!
These are thousands of independently minded grassroots patriots concerned about the direction of their country. Collectively, and individually, they see Obamanomics, Obamacare, and Socialist/Marxist as the OPPOSITE of the wishes of the founding fathers, what made this country exceptional and the most free representative republic on the planet.
Special interest group? MoveOn.org, ACORN, SEIU, AFSCME, AFL-CIO–ALL centrally organized, managed, and controlled groups with millions of $$$, sugar daddies (George Soros), and/or government handouts intended to influence government and legislation to THEIR special interests….NOT the needs of the nation as a whole.
Focus your fire on them, and maintaining your freedom from government intrusion into your life.

Better not go with Federalists. They were accused of wanting a Monarchy in the US back in 1861.
GaBlue, I buy lottery tickets because I HOPE to win, and I see that the money goes to help people learn just a side benefit. I'd be more reluctant to buy them if that money went into the General Fund, though.

Its amusing how the posters above characterize only left/progressive oriented groups are called "special interest groups" while right of center groups are considered to be loyal, patriotic americans.
My favorite Tea-Party moment was the GOP/Tea-Party Congressman from Maryland complaining that he had to wait 28 days for his gold-plated Congressional health-care plan — while he campaigned against "Obamacare" and the plan to cover the millions of uninsured americans. That was hypocrisy at its finest.
OK, now bring on the personal attacks and namecalling.

The Congressional health-care plan should be Abolished immediately. Anyone within the Congress should be Given the Blessing of using the health care plan just passed onto all of us working shlubs. Believe me, Rep, Dem or independent, Congress is happy it has its own golden parachute of healthcare. Pathetic.

I'd have to say you are correct! I live outside a small town. The gas station where I buy gas also sells lottery tickets. I invariably must wait in line to pay for my gas porchase while people buy and pay for lottery tickets. Since I know many, if not most, of the lottery ticket buyers, I am aware that they are welfare/ADC recipients. It's so nice to see our tax dollars at work!

Feelmax Video; Kilian's Quest
A couple of videos to carry you through the weekend, one of which features yet another young adventurer taking on an epic running quest – but it's not the enigmatic Tellman (last seen somewhere in eastern Pennsylvania) mentioned a couple of weeks ago. It's someone with far more organizational (not to mention promotional) support who seemingly has a far better chance of success at his task.
But first, one more brief and slightly bewildering mention of the Feelmax company whose products I reviewed this week.
I've mentioned a few times how the whole barefoot running movement has taken a few small companies by surprise, and Feelmax is a classic example. They made unique footwear, to be certain, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what target demographic they had in mind with advertisements such as this one:
It's visually stunning, for sure ... but the purpose seems kind of vague - unless, of course, you make a habit of loading up a backpack to hike through forests and up enormous hills for the purpose of playing hacky sack at the top, in which case this one's right in your wheelhouse. Otherwise, maybe not so much.
I find myself really cheering for Feelmax to get a foot in the door (see what I did there?) in US markets and become part of the running and fitness industry landscape, but you never know how it's going to play out for some of these smaller businesses over the long haul. I'd absolutely love to see them on Shark Tank one of these weeks, scoring some big financing along with expert marketing and distribution folks in their corner to help make that happen – but perhaps they shouldn't take business advice from someone who is hooked on reality television. It's probably better if I just stay out of it.
The second video highlights the current exploits of a phenomenal young ultrarunner named Kilian Jornet.
I was contacted by a PR rep of Kilian's, which almost always triggers a quick "No, thanks" reply from me, but it's one of those cool stories that could potentially become a "I remember the first time I heard of that guy" type of thing if Kilian becomes the next Scott Jurek or something. So I'll just provide a brief summary with some links and a video, and let you follow along if it interests you.
Kilian's a 21-year-old Catalan who has been pretty much unbeatable over the past couple of years in several prestigious mountain races and ultras – he's the 2-time defending champion of the Mont Blanc 100-miler, for example - and is now turning his sights to a year-long series of mind-boggling multi-day ultrarunning adventures. He is sponsored by Salomon Running, who have dedicated an entire video series to Kilian's exploits over those 12 months.
This Monday and Tuesday, Kilian will be attempting to break the Tahoe Rim Trail speed record set in 2005 by an ultrarunner most Western States enthusiasts have heard of once or twice before – a guy named Tim Tweitmeyer. The current record for the mountainous 165-mile loop stands at 45 hours and 58 minutes; many ultrarunning insiders predict that Kilian will take that record down quite handily.
One of those insiders is Bryon Powell, who operates the outstanding iRunFar website. He'll be covering the record attempt all weekend, so check out his blog for further updates.
Here's the Salomon teaser for Kilian's TRT attempt:
And since I said it for the oddball barefoot guy, I guess I should say it for the young stud ultrarunner: Run, Kilian, Run!

A special free 35mm screening of the French fantasy classic, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the passing of poet, painter and filmmaker Jean Cocteau.
"So enchanting it takes your breath away, Jean Cocteau's 1946 live-action version of the famous fairy tale remains one of the most magical films ever made." – Jean Oppenheimer, Dallas Observer
Jean Cocteau's sublime adaptation of Mme. Leprince de Beaumont's fairytale masterpiece – in which the pure love of a beautiful girl melts the heart of a feral but gentle beast – is a landmark of motion picture fantasy, with unforgettably romantic performances by Jean Marais and Josette Day. Set in a ravishingly dreamlike evocation of 17th-century France, the spectacular visions of enchantment, desire, and death in Beauty and the Beast have become timeless icons of cinematic wonder. Cocteau's transcendent treatment of the folktale strives, through use of poetic imagery and a minimum of (still astonishing) special effects, to achieve what the filmmaker called a "realism of the unreal." (Dir. by Jean Cocteau, 1946, France, in French with subtitles, 93 mins., Not Rated) 35mm
Support for this film provided by Alliance Française of Tucson

vocenoctum said...
I think this is partly why I never got into serious raiding. When I want to play fun, I go Affliction. I still use my felpup, don't care if can squeze a bit more dps with succubus, I like my pup!
When I want something simpler, I play in Destruction. (Yeah, I have other classes, but sometimes I just want to warlock it up.) It's fun to blast stuff and the imp is a lot more fire-n-forget than the pup sometimes.
For survivability, Haunt is nice. Out of combat, lifetap, then Haunt a nearby roach and heal a bit. In combat It's still nice, and anecdotally I self-heal more than in destro. The flip side is the fel-pup is just taking a lot more damage it seems. The Imp, even when a melee mob is beating on it, is more survivable.
I think the shadowbolt "support" is basically just the fact it's "Shadow damage" and we have shadow damage baked into bonuses.
For utility, it's hard to say what we need. I always loved that the felpup had the interupt, but the cooldown makes it too situational. The group bonus is also built into the demon. Perhaps we need something like a raid bonus, but then it gets into that "shadow priest seperation anxiety" thing.

This is my first flash... it's nothing to brag about really, I just wanted to try my hand at it. I figured animating to a song might be a good idea for starters... and not only was this song ideal because it's relatively short, but it's just an awesomely fun song by itself.
Color? Ha! Color is for the weak. And the talented. XD
Enjoy! ... try, anyway.
[EDIT!] Thanks so much for all the reviews/comments/suggesti ons/critiques!! I'm a bit of a feedback whore, so I completely appreciate anything you have to say!
I want to put a few things here, becuase multiple people brought it up in thier reviews:
~I would put a preloader on it, but I'm kinda dumb and I don't really understand how. I know you can download them right here, but when I try and put it on the animation, I don't know if it works. I'm prolly doing something wrong and if anyone would like to take time out to help me through it, I'd be glad to accept it!
~I understand that the lipsynch is off in quite a few places, but I was too lazy to fix it. I just might though, seeing as how I'm getting relatively good feedback on it!
~I will consider color, and cleaning it up. But I'm a bit of a procrastinator... plus I made this with the 30 DAY TRIAL VERSION!! I'm working on getting the full version though. ^^
~HOLY BALLS OF CRAP I'M ON THE WEIRD AL COLLECTION?!! I'm... I'm not hallucinating, am I? Thanks so much guys!

Crapppy Animation?
I think your animation was very nice! The artwork was great and the animation was simple, but it helped with the length of the song. I also enjoyed all of the visual portrayals of what he's feeling.
Great job!
My only gripe was that the mouth seemed a bit delayed, but that's a very, VERY minor complaint.

I've read Outliers, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It really points out how often the things we take personal credit for as the reasons for our successs, are really not what propelled us to where we are. In many cases it is circumstances we had no control over, that gave us an edge over our competition. Very Intriguing book.
