And in the vast sea of Hollywood, that breed is nearly extinct. Young people who can act as positive role models are almost as difficult to find as the proverbial needle in a haystack. However, permit me to introduce one such person who not only "talks the talk," but "walks the walk"--Alexa Penavega. Some viewers may remember her from her Spy Kids days, but she is grown up now and still pursuing a career in the dog-eat-dog world of entertainment. Not only that, but she and her husband have determined to stay true to their faith-based values in all areas of their lives. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Alexa, and our discussion encompassed a wide range of issues, including her recent and past works and her views on living as a person of faith in today 's society. RH: I only made the Spy Kids connection today when I was getting ready to interview you.…

The food is scrumptious, the water fountains are rhythmic and the view from High Roller, the world’s largest observation wheel, is stupendous. There’s art on the walls and expensive brands are around every bend. Most know about its busy casinos and enthralling shows. All this within the 3.5-mile strip…

Contextual Architecture In 2003 my family moved to a house in a newly built part of town in the neighborhood of Lamplight Village. Based on the Lamplight Village painting by Thomas Kinkade, it was beautiful. Not what you would expect from a Las Vegas home, but beautiful nonetheless. The facade of the two story home was light brown horizontal wood siding with big chocolate colored shutters, only for show of course. It had a spacious covered porch, a picturesque window seat and large leafy trees…
