Tru2U empowers young girls to face challenges of adolescence
By Joyce Coronel | May 21, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
Decked out in pale pink T-shirts emblazoned with the Tru2U logo, 42 eighth-grade girls from St. Thomas the Apostle listened to Amy Aker tell them how she found her prince.
You could have heard a pin drop.
Aker, an attractive young mother of three, went on to describe how she learned that only God could fulfill all of her needs and be the man of her dreams.
Parents have long worried about the “boy crazy” phase girls go through in the formative years of adolescence. A group of moms from St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School got together and came up with a way to reach and empower young ladies with a message of faith and purity.
Laura Westfall, a nurse practitioner and mother of an eighth-grade daughter, often sees young female patients who must deal with the unanticipated consequences of poor decision-making.
It was while she was on a sunrise hike and reflecting on her daughter’s upcoming graduation that the idea of a retreat for girls came to her. She turned to six other moms at the school who in a short amount of time were able to organize the retreat, held at Mount Claret May 7.
The day began at 6 a.m. with a team-building activity involving ropes and an obstacle course. Then the girls were off to hear a slate of speakers their mothers had arranged.
They learned about the role nutrition plays from fitness expert Tricia Leach who counseled them to make wise choices about food, but most of all, to know who they were before God.
After asking the girls to rate themselves as daughters and students on a scale from 1 to 10, she surprised them by letting them know that no matter how they saw themselves, God considers each one of them to be a “perfect 10.”

Le 3 sorelle, che torreggiano sulla Jamison valley, costituiscono la maggiore attrazione delle Blue Mountains, ad ovest di Sydney.
Secondo la leggenda, si tratta di 3 sorelle che, innamoratesi di 3 fratelli e minacciate di morte, vennero temporaneamente trasformate in roccia per proteggerle. Durante la battaglia, però, venne ucciso il mago che conosceva il sortilegio per farle tornare indietro. Così rimasero dei torrioni di roccia, a perenne memoria per i posteri.
The three sisters towering above the Jamison valley are the major attraction of Blue Mountain, at west of Sydney.
The Aboriginal dream-time legend has it that three sisters, 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo' lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe.
These beautiful young ladies had fallen in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe, yet tribal law forbade them to marry.
The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters causing a major tribal battle.
As the lives of the three sisters were seriously in danger, a witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to turn the three sisters into stone to protect them from any harm. While he had intended to reverse the spell when the battle was over, the witchdoctor himself was killed. As only he could reverse the spell to return the ladies to their former beauty, the sisters remain in their magnificent rock formation as a reminder of this battle for generations to come.

WHAT'S UP: BUZZ-BOMBERS OF LONG BEACH
GANGWAY! In the late 1960s, there were two possible scenarios we foresaw regarding what we would be driving in the 21st century: rocket space-cars like the Jetsons drove, or autoettes like the old people drove. We would've been filled with despair if we'd been told that when the 21st century started, there'd be nothing like a space-car in General Motors' pipeline, and that the autoette would, long before we reached the age of AARP, be driven from the streets, or more properly, the sidewalks of our town.
Autoette was a trade name turned generic term for the little three-wheeled electric carts that once seemingly outnumbered pedestrians on the streets of downtown Long Beach.
The vehicles were apparently handed out to the town's more seasoned citizens once they reached the age of driving incompetency, whereupon they would take to the sidewalks on significant numbers and drive up the heels and over the backs of whippersnappers who didn't have the god-given sense to steer clear of a determined errand runner behind the wheels of one of these “buzz-bombs”.
And “behind the wheel” is a misnomer. The carts were steered by means of a stick with a handle on it. The things were a snap to drive, and the oldsters helming these little things terrorized the sidewalks of Pine, Long Beach Boulevard, Ocean and other downtown streets for a couple of decades.
…..
In 1964 police estimated there were were 3,000 electric cars zipping around Long Beach, but it seemed there were more, …
The city was more than accommodating to the fleet of Autoettes, carving cut-outs into the curbs or building sidewalks at street level at intersections so drivers wouldn't have to slow down, …
In 1964, pedestrians were given the right-of-way over electric cars.
Although the carts, by 1965 had become classified as motor vehicles and therefore illegal to operate on sidewalks, the law was scantily enforced.
In 1966, an 80 year old woman plowed her Autoette into a ladder holding a neon sign installer who fell 14 feet to his death. The law was then enforced.
Three Clay county Sheriff's office units sit at the CCSO Cow town Substation on NM 323 . These three units show the three different designs that CCSO have had since 1994. First is this 1998 Ford expedition this was the CCSO design from 1994 to 2007 . 5 units in this design are still in service. Second is a 2008 Ford CVPI design from 2007 to 2012 Last is a 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 in the 2012 to ? design. .
Three portals lead to the Challenge of Separation. Over each of the portals is a glyph of either an eye, a hammer, or a feather. The eye focuses on brain-based skills to get through, the hammer is physical strength, and the feather is physical dexterity and stealth.
I used multi-colored LED tea lights and fake spider webs for the smoky portals.
This is one of the pictures I made for FlickrFriday ThreeOfAKind. After an uninspired week I grabbed one of my old lenses, three juggling balls from my daughter, and a strip of aluminum foil. Luckily, there is a Philips TV with Ambilight in the apartment. Here is the result ....
Another shot of what has quickly become one of my favorite abandoned farmsteads. It is a very complete abandonment, with the farmhouse, outhouse, two large sheds, and two barns across the road. It sits on a nice sandy ridge, left over from when this was the Mississippi River bottom after the Ice Age receded.
I made invitations today for his 3rd birthday party coming up in a few weeks... this is the front :)
I told him to count to 3 on his fingers while i snapped in continuous mode.. this was the series.
Jerikojosh, KungFuFreak and I got it on in a three way shootout..... well, at least Josh and I ambushed her. hahaa (Side note, this was not staged.... lol.... I looked over and saw her shooting... so I was gonna shoot her when I noticed Josh doing the same thing.... :) This was natural timing)
Shot at the Chinese New Year Parade on Saturday.

I took this image underwater with the Canon G10 in an underwater houseing. For more information: www.amazon.com/Canon-WP-DC28-Waterproof-PowerShot-Digital...
Nicht allzu weit von Sydney entfernt sind "die drei Schwestern" eine große Attraktion, was man auch an den Touristen Mengen gemerkt hat. Mein Favorit in den Blue Mountains bleibt damit Govetts Leap.
Some people own hair bands that just scream to have photos of them taken of. Besides, who can resist a beautiful opportunity to capture all three primary additive colours at once?
These three men from Malesso’/Merizo were found by the U.S. Navy during the American invasion of Guam in 1944. They had escaped from the Japanese.

'Three eyed ' deer in New forest national park. Perfect timing and composition for this shoot. This deer looks like it's got three eyes and three ears.
