Controversial Supreme Court decisions have barred organized school prayer, but neither the Court nor public policy exclude religion from schools altogether. In this book, one of America's leading constitutional scholars asks what role religion ought to play in public schools. Kent Greenawalt explores many of the most divisive issues in educational debate, including teaching about the origins of life, sex education, and when--or whether--students can opt out of school activities for religious reasons.
Using these and other case studies, Greenawalt considers how to balance the country's constitutional commitment to personal freedoms and to the separation of church and state with the vital role that religion has always played in American society. Do we risk distorting students' understanding of America's past and present by ignoring religion in public-school curricula? When does teaching about religion cross the line into the promotion of religion?
Tracing the historical development of religion within public schools and considering every major Supreme Court case, Greenawalt concludes that the bans on school prayer and the teaching of creationism are justified, and that the court should more closely examine such activities as the singing of religious songs and student papers on religious topics. He also argues that students ought to be taught more about religion--both its contributions and shortcomings--especially in courses in history. To do otherwise, he writes, is to present a seriously distorted picture of society and indirectly to be other than neutral in presenting secularism and religion.
Written with exemplary clarity and even-handedness, this is a major book about some of the most pressing and contentious issues in educational policy and constitutional law today.

Love love love this eyeliner. Bought it on sale and tbh not really expecting the world from it, but it DELIVERED. Long lasting, non waxy, glides so nice. Have this on hand all the time now. Buy it when on sale in multiples. Caution: "crayon" (cant think of a better word) is delicate so don't overextend the point out too far or it will break while applying.

Glimmersticks come in a variety of shades, finishes and formulae that vary from campaign to campaign. The Liqui-Glide finish feels gel-like and a bit wet upon first application. These liners range in price anywhere from $2 to $5 based on quantities ordered and specific promotions. They are very inexpensive.
I like the Liqui-Glide finish in Black Plum.

this is just a crazy good product. nothing else to say. when it is on sale which is often, it is dirt cheap. for those ladies who dream of doing a winged eye but do not have a steady hand, this is your answer....

I love the product in general- these apply smoothly, and stay on all day. That said, I took off one lippy for packaging- I hate the fact that the cap does not fit on the end of the pencil. Also, the black liner turns navy on me in a few hours. Not the end of the world, but worth mentioning. Overall, a good product at a reasonable price. As someone else noted, they should be discontinuing them soon!

Love this eyeliner. I recently ran out and was afraid that Avon would discontinue as they so often do. Found it in this weeks campaign at 4 for $10 - great deal!! As previous reviewers have said, just use with a light hand and what a beautiful, dark line you can achieve!!

This is a wonderful product-
Application is flawless, and almost impossible to mess up.
There is no drag upon application,
and its effortless- easy to use,
looks great,
and lasts.
I have aging eyelids and most eyeliners
are impossible.
This works.
ORdering more!

Perfect eyeliner! I love using this on my upper eyelid. It really does give the effect of liquid or gel eyeliner but is so quick and easy to use. It is so creamy and smooth. It actually feels like liquid when it goes on! It's even slightly cold like a liquid. Doesn't smudge or fade on me either.

Best pencil eyeliner I have ever tried! I have this in black and it really does glide right on. Doesn't seem to smudge during the day either that I have noticed, and you can draw quite a thin line with it. It's a bit soft so it can break easily if you don't keep the product "short."
I absolutely will buy this again, and intend to buy it in other colors too besides just black. The black, though, is the blackest black I've ever seen in an eyeliner and I am very pleased with it.

Jet black formula that stays put all day and night long. It glides on like a dream. Feels wet when applying. The stick is soft so make sure to only dial it up a little bit or else it will break. I've tried many liquid eyeliners and eyeliner pens...this one beats them all hands down. Great for liquid eyeliner beginners also.

Do we have to be the ones who sacrifice?
- Married for ten years. One beautiful son. One depressed wife. She is from another country and wants to go back to her life there. It is a third world country and she feels that I can not survive there - despite me saying I will try. For the past 7 years she has been depressed. I get phone calls at work where she does nothing but sob. She sometimes is short with my son because of her mood swings. We haven't had sex in 4 years - in fact she says the thought of anyman - not just me - touching her in a sexual way makes her angry and depressed. Clothes are not ironed. Piles of them lay around the house. Unwashed dishes are stacked in the kitchen. I do my ten hours at work and then come home to a wife who cries or abuses me, and then I head to wash the dishes or other housework. I love my son and divorce is out of the question - he would be devastated. When she is in a good mood, she is wonderful. Unfortunately, those days are rare. She has seen a therapist but stopped. I am at a loss. Suck
- —Guest Life unfair
Had enough
- I'v been with my wife for 20yrs and I,m at my limit. My wife has had depression the whole time We have been together she says it a because she is overweight . So I paid for her to have a gastric band fitted to lose weight she did loss weight and seemed to get better the problem arose when she cheated on me and our sex life was far from great for about a year then she told me what she had done. The problem is she angry to me and the kids and it's never her fault the only reason I stay is to protect the children. It's not physical but the anger is a verbal problem. I now feel that I've wasted so many years living with a person who has depression. When I said I do I didn't realise that I had to suffer so much and I'm starting to think why should. I so all you people who say you love your partners with depression then I would rethink as its a life long drain and believe me it only gets worse. If I could turn back the clock I would find someone who loves who they are as well as there partne

It helps
- At 5am every morning my alarm rings, waking me up. Before my feet hit the ground I purposely say to myself "be positive today". Now I know as a man married to a person who suffers with depression that there might not be a lot of positive things that day but my point is to remain positive (enough) through it. I get up, brush my teeth, then go to my children's room to pick their clothes for the day. I iron them and put them in their rooms on their beds. I then make their lunches and place them in there backpacks. Of course weekends are different but as consistent. It's what after doing these things that's my biggest... only real help. I sit at our kitchen table and read at least one chapter out of my Bible. I then make a cup of coffee and take a seat on my comforting couch. There I pray, pray, and pray some more. Praying I had done before but never like I have for the past few years. Married for 17 years I will always hope she will "get" better, "be" better. Consistent prayer...

the mountains and valley's
- I just was recently married to a man with dysthymia. It really sucks because he is on medication and we are going to start counseling in less then a month, but even with all of the help and support he can not see the big picture. He comes off as selfish and self-centered, spoiled and lazy, but I know that under all of the uck is a beautiful person. After being married for about 3 months I am finally starting to realized I CAN NOT FIX HIM. Only the depressed person has the power to fix themselves. They are so used to living in pain and discomfort that trying something new that might actually work is scary to them. It is frustrating and painful to watch. They are self destructive as well and to our relationship. You get to see this glimmer of hope for like 3 maybe 4 days and then crash...the walls come crashing down squashing any hope or light that you see. Often their thoughts are completely irrational and make no sense. All you can do is pray that God will save them.
- —Guest love God
Run from depression and abandonment
- Run. Don't look back. Your husband will drag you nd your children into his self focused world. He will hate you for being well and blame you for his not being happy. Thenantidepression mess don't work. He will drain u of whatever he can and then shutnwhatbisnleft of u out. When that is done he will move on to the children and drain them. Thinking he is a mentor they will act like him in too many ways and the cycle of abandoned abuse would only continue. Better to find another man who treatsnyounwith love and respect and loves your children. Laughter heals a heart.
- —Guest Tortured wife
All the help is in front of you
- These tips are from a male depressive to wives and partners The first thing depressives have to learn is THAT IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. Also, it is not your spouse's fault either. Depression is a disease; it can be inherited; it is mostly caused through a chemical imbalance in your brain. That is why it is of the utmost importance to get the correct medication from a good doctor. That's a start. The second is to enquire whether there is a call-out team in your local mental health department. I have benefited enormously over the years from both these. Spouses and partners should not have to tolerate any depressive who will not take the first step and visit their doctor. Depressives can be very stubborn--I know! You may have to give the patient an ultimatum. After all, you are entitled to your own life.

My Depressed Husband.
- My husband of 10 years has had depression really bad the last 3. He went to the doctor and got meds, but now says he doesn't like the way they make him feel, so he quit. His disease has drained me emotionally, phyically, and mentally. I work 50 hours a week (he over spends when he is depressed), do all the housework, and take care of our 2 kids. He completely ignores or children, I feel like a single parent. On top of that I have to deal with his crazy mood swings. If I ask him how his day went he will yell at me for being too nosy. He yells and me and seriously acts like he hates me know matter what I do. I try and be strong, but I end up secretly crying in the bathrom every night. This is his depressed side, which usually is going strong for 4 months or so. Why do I stay? Because the other 8 months are amazing. When the depression clears he is the best husband and father I could imagine. During the good times I can't imagine being without him. How much longer can I do this
- —Guest Heartbroken
I'm in need of some advise
- WOW, I have been married for almost 18 years. My husband came home today and told me he was leaving. He has all the signs of depression and is going to seek help (that is good). I myself feel betrayed and in shock. I guess I was lying to myself thinking his stress was coming from work. Him leaving came out of left field! Now I am here with three kids and have the whole world on my shoulders and even though I have wonderful friends I feel completly alone. Part of me thinks him getting help will be the best thing in the world for our family the other part feels like what if he gets help and then decides to leave for good. Again WOW I just don't know what to do. How do I get through this myself without going over the edge? Someone has to be strong for these kids. Sorry for so many thoughts and questions I am just totallyinshock...
- —totallyinshock
Egg Shells hurt too...
- Living with a severely depressed husband is severely hard. Walking on egg shells is an understatement. You never know when you will say the wrong thing. It is hard not to take it personally. I love him so deeply and treat this like the illness it is. I am commited to him for life. Even after the ugly things that he has done and said. I know that is not the man that I know and love. It really hurts when you say I love you and he only says I know. He says "you would be better off without me", "you're stupid for staying with me. The holidays were overwelming. Went into a deep state. It is so hard that he doesn't smile. I try to keep the mood up and say things that usually make him laugh, but not right now. It is very wearing. He gets paranoided too during these times. Things that normally are no big deal when I ask, suddenly I'm suspicious. Very little affection.. Which is normally very affectionate. It is like living in a room full of elephants.We talk about it...looking for a light.
- —Guest Forever Always
self help
- my husband is so low hes below the dirt. he functions bcus of us. weve been married almost 27 years, 6 children and now grandparents. hes bipolar due to gulf war 1. and anthrax shots, this has affected kids. 3 children bipolar. bipolar in his family too. all I can offer is self help books, they have helped me a bit. managing your mind, loving someone with bipolar disorder, one book my son read was get it done when you,re depressed. my husband drinks too, this goes up and down. so if he didnt read I read to him, something on the possitive side to help him think of what hes doing to hiimself and us. I run the house as normal and will include him. I help him sort his thoughts, making a list of importants for the day. I found a stress relief and do it dailey which for me is piano and art. I have read these books and others, all I can say is research. but alcohol is a depressant and causes anxiety too. I I am shut out, ignored like a lot of people but I never loose hope. Iv loved him 30 yr
- —Guest ds6
Run if you can
- My partner is bipolar and on medication. We have 2 kids together 16 and 2! We split between having the kids and decided to try again. If you met my partner he would come across as very confident and life and soul of the party but in real life he is miserable. His depression is beginning to really get me down now and I am wondering what I am doing in this relationship. You have to be very strong to live with someone like this as they are very demanding, moreso than our kids! Like someone else mentioned I often wonder how much of this is selfishness on my partner's part. There have been other relationships on his part and it is almost as if everything has to be done his way,even if it is wrong. I don't want my youngest child seeing his father this way and for my own sanity I cannot continue with someone who is negative about everything. Be very careful going into relationship with someone with depression love won't get you through it. I am a strong person but this is beatin me
- —Guest Carol
Hate to be negative but ..
- I've been married more than 25 years. My husband knows his problem but refuses treatment or even discussion. He is deteriorating. 5 days used to be the average - last year was 12 weeks of no words whatsoever. Its hard on my incredible family to watch it happen - not just me but everyone on eggshells. I am not optimistic for our future. Just about to tell my parents I'm calling off Xmas - this is gonna be fun .. Thats the worst - the embarrassment of it all - it makes me look so weak. Its been soooo many years of this now. Anyway - I have saved some of the responses from here .. I can't believe the similarities in our situations. Good luck guys!
- —Dont_want_to_say
- I dont know if any of these help, or if what i have to say will help. I have a past that my depressed spouse blames for his depression its always my ex's fault. Not that that bothers me he was abusive. but i get told i am selfish when i have given up my home and my friends to make this work. i get told i make him want to kill himself. I cant get him help bc he wont take it, not from a dr and not from me. today i spent hrs coming up with comprimises to make talking to our families work. all were wrong. I wont tell you to leave your spouse bc you love them but i will say that tonight i have been told i am selfish for getting him help and i am pushing him infrunt of the bus. I love him and I dont know how much more i can take.
depressed spouse reply
- hello concerned wives. i am writing this to remind you all that your husbands have tremendous stress worrying about how to take care of himself, his buffoon of a wife and who knows how many children. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ANY OF YOU WOMEN TO GET UP OFF YOUR LAZY BEHINDS AND GET A JOB? you all make me laugh, you take in tennants and live in squalor rather than seek employment. are you so selfish and inconsiderate to help releave some of that pressure from your husbands heart and soul. are you so wonderful that you can't help financially? when they cheat, don't complain. i have a message for all of you - YOU ARE NOT WORTH YOUR WEIGHT IN GOLD.
- —sikovit
ten things to say and remember
- 1. You're not alone in this. 2. You are important to me. 3. Do you want a hug? 4. You are not going mad. 5. We are not on this earth to see through one another, but to see one another through. 6. When all this is over, I'll still be here, and so will you. 7. I can't really understand what you are feeling, but I can offer my compassion. 8. I'm not going to leave you or abandon you. 9. I love you . 10. I'm sorry that you're in so much pain. I am not going to leave you. I am going to take care of myself, so you don't need to worry that your pain might hurt me.

Bombsweeper Demo v.0.12Apr 22, 2012 Demo 0 comments
This demo does not represent the final version. If you find any bugs, contact Redkix Games.
The game you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this game, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
The goal of this game is to collect all the jewels. Dangerous bombs try to blow you up so you should avoid them. The 1-UPs will help you. When you collect one of those, you gain 1 life and a few extra points. Also sometimes a bonus jewel appears. Get the highest score and don't be bombed.
0 comments by RedkixGames on May 2nd, 2012
Today, we made some very big changes to Bombsweeper. There are many, and we're going to go through them one by one. The big changes are:
-There is now a player to control. Instead pf clicking on rocks and jewels. You control a character and collect jewels and try to avoid moving bombs.
-The bombs now take a random bath a move around. Kind of like Pac-man. If the character hits the bomb, you lose a life and start back where you spawned.
-There are different jewels. Collect all of the jewels to move on to the next level.
There will be a demo build of the new updates posted later on. New images to show these changes will be uploaded as well. These new updates will give Bombsweeper a better chance of being published on Desura. Speaking of Desura, Bombsweeper was denied because they said it was "a little to simplistic". So that's when we got the idea to make big changes. These new updates make the game more challenging. We were beginning to think that Bombsweeper was too simple. Once the new demo is uploaded, we will send Bombsweeper back in to Desura. These updates were to make the game more complex. However, make a game more complex makes it more fun. Instead of making an entire new game, we just decided to keep the same game and just change it. We hope everyone likes these updates and you will be able to play it soon. Until then, carry on!
This demo does not represent the final version. If you find any bugs, contact Redkix Games.

When I arrived at the Mountain Centre, I asked staff about the walks that I might do within the short time I had, and they advised me to do the walk to the hill fort. I asked several times just to make sure, and they said that I could absolutely do that walk within one hour, and that I would then have plenty enough time to walk back to the bus stop in a leisurely manner. Ok, of course I trusted them!
I am probably not the fastest walker on earth, but I would not say that I am particularly slow or unfit either, and on this walk I even hurried and did not stop very often because I was afraid to run out of time - and that is exactly what happened.
I constantly monitored my watch, and even when I had not yet arrived at the top of the hill fort, I saw that I would need longer than an hour to do this. But I really wanted to get to the top, so I did that, and then nearly jogged back to the mountain centre, arriving with hurting legs and totally exhausted! Sorry, but one hour is really unrealistic for that walk, at least if you are not using it as a training for your next triathlon!
Out of breath, I arrived back at the Mountain Centre, and asked them if they could organise a taxi to take me back to the bus stop. No, that was not possible - the closest taxis were only available in Brecon - but staff were 100% sure that I could make it easily back to the bus stop within 30 minutes walking at a leisurely pace! Well, what was I to do, of course there was no choice, so I started my walk back down to Libanus.
My trust in staff had by this time diminished a little. My knees were hurting very much at this stage, but I walked as fast as I could. Not leisurely. By now, I was very, very afraid that I could miss the bus and then be stuck in Libanus for the night, as this was the last bus back to Cardiff.
And what can I say. I arrived at the bus stop about two minutes before the bus arrived!!!
So really, be warned: Don't trust the times that staff give you in the mountain centre! Better plan more time and be on the safe side.
Finding the way
At the tourist information they had told me that from the bus stop in Libanus I should just walk up the street and I would find the Mountain Centre very easily...
So I went to Libanus unprepared, but when I arrived, I saw that it was not so easy. I found a signpost and walked up the way it indicated. However, after some time the street became wilder and wilder. It ran between two rows of big hedges, and then became an unpaved path, increasingly muddy... After some time I met a local who told me that this was the wrong way, but that I should just walk on and I would finally get to the Mountain Centre anyway.
I followed his advice because I did not want to turn back after walking for so long. The pathway was now really dirty, and after making the acquaintance of some sheep, and walking for another fifteen minutes or so, I finally arrived at the Mountain Centre.
When talking to staff and looking at the map, I found out that I had indeed taken the wrong way (despite the signpost, which was misleading). The street that you need to take is not close to the bus stop.
When you arrive from Brecon, you need to walk about fifty metres away from where you have come and take the street that is leading up here, close to some farms, but not close to the restaurant.
If you arrive from Cardiff, you need to walk back into the direction from which you have come to find that street.
I really wish that I had found that street because it would have saved me time and energy, and my jeans wouldn't have been so dirty - but I will know better next time :-)

I don't mind the dark-) Well the problem would be the fact I tend to use dilute developer with long times. If I went to stronger mix with less dilution I guess that would okay. My "darkroom" is actually the basement. With only three windows it's relatively easy to make it light tight. Cardboard cut to size fits the window openings. Over that goes heavy drapes. It's a fairly open space so any vapours drift off. The only problem is in the dark I've gotten lost once or twice. With houses on both sides the windows only get strong sun early morning. Of course it works even better at night. Well except for the night we had an unscheduled thunderstorm when I was about to take some paper out. You know I'd forgotten to block the windows that night. It won't be high volume. Just a few sheets [maxing out at four or maybe six I bet] when I feel like hauling the camera out.
How do you time in the dark? I've got a red alarm clock would I risk fogging if I set that up across the room? With the limations of the cameras I'm looking at I won't be using anything faster then 100 ISO most of the time.

Turnovers costly for Bills in loss
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The Buffalo Bills lost the turnover battle, and it cost them a victory against the New York Giants.
Entering the game, the Bills were plus-11 on turnovers and that helped them to a 4-1 start.
On Sunday, they couldn't overcome their mistakes.
Buffalo's Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two interceptions to Corey Webster in the second half on passes to Stevie Johnson as the Giants pulled out a 27-24 win.
"This is one of the hardest parts of playing quarterback, when you don't get the job done," Fitzpatrick said. "The two interceptions I threw, you couldn't ask for better coverage, you couldn't ask for a better play, couldn't ask for a better route. They were both basically the same thing, Stevie on a go-route. I'd like to give credit to Corey Webster, he made plays on both of them. That said, I feel like Stevie beat him, and I underthrew both of them."
The second interception led to the Giants' drive that culminated with Lawrence Tynes kicking a 23-yard field goal with 1:32 remaining.
After tying the game on a 9-yard pass to Johnson, Buffalo appeared in position to take the lead when Fitzpatrick completed a 32-yard pass to David Nelson for a first down at the New York 27.
Fitzpatrick then threw a pass to Johnson down the left sideline and Webster intercepted at the 5. Johnson was called for a facemask penalty, giving New York the ball at the 20.
"They ran the same pattern a couple of times, going to the backside on some slants," Webster said. "I think there was an opportunity for me to get a couple of balls, and the second one set up a little better because we needed the ball back. We just kept fighting and we rallied."
Fitzpatrick disagreed with the idea that Buffalo could have played it more conservatively to set up a field goal.
"I will take that matchup every time," Fitzpatrick said. "If I throw a good ball on that, Stevie scores and everybody's happy. It's easy to second-guess it now, but I thought it was a great call and I thought it was the right play."
Fitzpatrick was 21 of 30 for 244 yards and threw touchdown passes of 60 yards to Naaman Roosevelt and 9 yards to Johnson, but his final attempt was batted down by Jason Pierre-Paul on a fourth-and-5 from the Bills 25 to preserve the win.
Ahmad Bradshaw ran for a season-high 104 yards and a career-best three touchdowns for the Giants.
He scored on three 1-yard runs and had a 30-yard run to help set up Tynes' winner as the Giants (4-2) rebounded from a bad loss to Seattle by limiting the high-scoring Bills (4-2) to seven second-half points.
Eli Manning was 21 of 32 for 292 yards and no interceptions.
Buffalo entered the game with 12 interceptions.
Fred Jackson had 121 yards rushing, including a career-high 80-yard TD run. He also caught five passes for 47 yards.
Even though this loss hurt, Jackson said the Bills are still in good position heading into their bye week.

Oil prices rise in Asia after Wall Street rally
popular .
SINGAPORE – Oil prices rose in Asian trade Monday with dealers encouraged by better-than-expected earnings data on Wall Street, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in March gained seven cents to $95.95 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for March delivery increased 16 cents to $113.44.
"US corporate earnings are providing plenty of cause for optimism among market bulls who can already count on central bank liquidity and China's improving economy as driving forces," said a report from IG markets Singapore.
"Energy prices have edged up among the euphoria."
On Friday the Dow ended at its highest level since October 2007 while the S&P 500 climbed above 1,500 points for the first time since December 2007, thanks to solid earnings results.
Among the stand-out performers was health and beauty goods maker Procter and Gamble, which said earnings more than doubled in the fiscal second quarter while it also increased its guidance for 2013 earnings.
There were also impressive results from Halliburton, AT&T and Starbucks.
The uptick of the major indices underscored growing optimism in the US economy, which is also the world's biggest crude consumer.
