The State Department Bulletin (in UI Libraries at (Gov JX232 .A32) for 1945 (vol. 13, pages 427-428) has a copy of a letter written to President Truman by Henry Stimson (then Secretary of War) and James Forrestal (then Secretary of the Navy). This letter quotes the 1919 War Department General Orders No. 115.
The subject of the Stimson/Forrestal letter is the "official" name for WW II.
The text of the Stimson/Forrestal letter to Truman follows ...
"10 September 1945
Dear Mr. President,
President Wilson, under date of July 31, 1919, addressed a letter to Secretary of War Baker which read, in part, as follows:
'It is hard to find a satisfactory "official" name for the war, but the best, I think, that has been suggested is "The World War," and I hope that your judgment will concur.'
Subsequently, under date of October 7, 1919, War Department General Orders No. 115 directed:
'The War against the Central Powers of Europe, in which the United States has taken part, will hereafter be designated in all official communications and publications as "The World War".'
As a matter of simplicity and to insure uniform terminology, it is recommended that "World War II" be the officially designated name for the present war covering all theaters and the entire period of hostilities.
The term "Wold War II" has been used in at least seven public laws to designate this period of hostilities. Analysis of publications and radio programs indicates that this term has been accepted by common usage.
If this recommndation is approved it is further recommended that the title "World War II" be published in the Federal Register as the official name of the present war.
Henry L. Stimson
Secretary of War
James Forrestal
Secretary of the Navy
Approved: September 11, 1945
Harry S. Truman"

NFL rumors spread like wildfire, especially in the final week of the regular season.
As 'Black Monday' approaches, there's been a rumor floating around that former Colts head coach Tony Dungy was set to make a return to the NFL coaching ranks, and landing with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Dungy, who has been working for NBC Sports since his departure from the NFL, put those rumors to rest with a simple Tweet.
We lived in Kansas City 3 years and loved it. I love the Hunt family. But I will not be back in coaching, there or anywhere else.

Former Saluki and three-time NCAA Champion Jeneva McCall.
June 22, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Former Saluki and three-time NCAA Champion Jeneva McCall earned a spot on Team USA to compete at the World Championships after her second-place performance in the hammer throw Saturday at the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships.
McCall's best throw of 74.00m (242-09) was briefly the best throw in the US for 2013 until eventual champion Amanda Bingston broke the all-time American record in the event with her winning throw of 75.73m (248-05). McCall and Bingston, along with Amber Campbell, will represent the US at the IAAF World Championships held in Moscow from Aug. 10-18.
Also competing in the hammer throw were former Saluki Gwen Berry (ninth place, 64.74m/212-05) and sophomore DeAnna Price (13th place, 62.09m/203-08).
McCall nearly earned a spot on Team USA in the shot put as well, but she fell just short in fourth place at 17.48m (57-04.25). Former Saluki Kim Fortney fell within a half foot of finals in the event at 16.43m (53-11.00), which was good for tenth place.
In addition to McCall at the World Championships, SIU will have two representatives at the Pan-American Junior Athletics Championships (Aug. 23-25) in freshmen Josh Freeman and Brandon Shemonia.

Even when dating is not an issue, renegotiating the child-parent relationship creates big questions about what constitutes appropriately supportive parenting. Two of Phyllis Lombardi Siclari's adult children live with her and her husband in West Haven, Connecticut. She makes dinner for all every night, frequently does her son's laundry and doesn't expect the kids to pay rent, although they are theoretically responsible for their credit card charges, cell phone bills and car-insurance payments. "But they are always short," she says. "It never fails: We have to front them." The kids eventually pay her back, but she worries that she shouldn't bail them out. "I don't want to cripple them, as do so many parents who let their kids walk all over them," she explains. But it's not easy to find the right balance between being supportive and letting adults be adults. And many people can't provide help without putting themselves in financial jeopardy—a problem pervasive enough that the British have coined a term: KIPPERS, or kids in parents' pockets eroding retirement savings.
There are also conflicting emotions about where to place blame for the situation. "You're in a constant back-and-forth," says Jane, a film editor who asked that her name be changed to spare her 25-year-old son's feelings. "Is his joblessness somehow my fault? His fault? Or is the world just screwing with him?" She feels frustrated that her connections have not helped him land a spot, despite his Ivy League degree, and that the lessons of her work experience seem meaningless in this economy. When prospective employers behave thoughtlessly toward her son, "I start to feel the way I haven't felt since he was little and someone was picking on him in the playground—almost a desire to hurt people," she says. Her son has had an array of internships, jobs that ultimately didn't go where he needed them to go and a year in New York subsidized by his parents. Jane describes him as "terrific," with a great work ethic, "and I look at him and I think, Where is society now that it has no use for someone like this?" Then at bad moments, "my head starts to spin, and I think there must be something wrong with him that I just don't see."
Unlike teenagers, people in their twenties have a reasonable expectation that their adult lives are their own (even when they're still reaping the benefits of living at home). And that can also be hard on their parents. "Emotionally, it's a bit of a roller coaster," says Irene, a therapist who also asked to use another name for this story. She's losing sleep over her 25-year-old daughter's social life: "When Serena was in California, if she was out until 4 am clubbing and driving with a few drinks in her, at least I didn't know." Now Irene lies in bed, unable to do more than doze until her daughter is safely in the driveway. Serena has been home for a year after an unpaid audio-technology internship and a part-time job—neither of which paid off in the ways she'd hoped—followed by the promise of an opportunity in Florida, which failed to materialize. She's now back in school, but when she first went home, "she basically did nothing from December to May," says Irene. "She wasn't earning a penny. She slept a lot and surfed the Web and turned down most of our suggestions about getting work."

People worry that the injection will lead to an infection of botulism; that it will leak and paralyze the wrong part of their face; that they'll get splitting headaches; or that it will make their brows or lids droop over their eyes. Some of these fears are not entirely unfounded—1 to 3 percent of patients can experience ptosis, that droopy eyelid effect, for up to four months (although it's treatable with another drug, Alcon). In May, the FDA issued an "ongoing safety review" of Botox, meaning they are continuing to look into whether the drug requires additional regulations but have not established a causal relationship between the drug and safety issues such as botulism poisoning and shortness of breath. But overall, most dermatologists consider it to be very safe if it's given by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is experienced in using Botox cosmetically.

An Oklahoma father feared the worst and then watched it play out before his very eyes yesterday afternoon.
The father of Justin Phillips notified police that his son was absent without official leave (AWOL) from the Air Force and that he feared his son was suicidal. He also told them that Justin was behind the wheel of a vehicle. The father was in pursuit.
Law enforcement joined in the chase about 3 p.m., but it wasn't long after, that the younger Phillips swerved his car head-on into a dump truck.
The police officer directly behind Justin didn't anticipate the maneuver and hit the rear of the Airman's car in a fiery, three-vehicle crash.
The officer, while injured is expected to be ok. Firefighters, who presumably had been alerted as well, are credited with saving the life of the dump truck driver.
Officials estimate that Justin was exceeding 75 mph and that the crash, which ended near 131st and Mingo Road in Bixby, was intentional.
Justin Ryan Philips, rank unknown, was just 20.

Today US Department of Labor, Bureau or Labor Statistics (BLS) released the Employment Situation Summary for unemployment data collected during June 2014. Each month the BLS reports on the Employment Situation by surveying households across the United States. The June 2014 Employment Situation Summary posted an unemployment rate of 6.1% which was a drop of .2 percentage points from May.
With national unemployment rate now at 6.1% there remain 9.5 million jobless Americans and of that number, the Employment Situation Summary reports there are 3.1 million who have been jobless for 27 weeks or more and are deemed long term unemployed. The long term unemployed make up 32.8% of the total national unemployment.
Not counted in the June's national unemployment rate are 7.5 million involuntary part time workers. This group of involuntary part time workers cannot find full time work or have had their hours reduced to part time. The involuntary part time workers increased by 275,000 during June.
Another category not counted in the national unemployment rate are the 2 million persons who are considered marginally attached to the labor force. The marginally attached to the workforce decreased by 100,000 from the previous month since they have given up looking for a job but are no longer counted as unemployed because they have not searched for work in the last four weeks. Among the marginally attached workers there are 676,000 discouraged workers who has simply given up because they do not believe there is a job out there for them.
Of those jobs created Professional Services and health care added the most jobs at 67,000 in June. Followed by Retail trade adding 40,000 jobs with food services and drinking places adding 33,000 jobs. Also during June the average hourly earnings have for private non supervisory employees increased by 6 cents.
To view the full report go to Employment Situation Summary – June 2014. The next national BLS Employment Situation report will be released by the Department of Labor on August 1, 2014 and will evaluate employment data collected during July 2014.

Friday Spotlight: Powering a Demanding Enterprise Operation with Oracle VM
By Honglin Su-Oracle on Jan 30, 2015
Much like Oracle's customer base (some 400,000 companies in 145 countries), Oracle deploys Oracle database, middleware, and application products to support its day-to-day business operations. By virtualizing enterprise applications using Oracle VM, Oracle's IT organizations realize greater flexibility and lower infrastructure costs. Instead of implementing physical machines for each required operating system version and application release, virtualization using Oracle VM consolidates servers and provides efficiencies that help to decrease capital (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX). At the same time Oracle VM helps IT deploy services more rapidly, allowing administrators to provision new applications quickly to meet emerging requirements and shifts in application demand.
To learn how Oracle product development uses more than 310,000
virtual machines and how Oracle Managed Cloud Services uses Oracle VM to support some
5.5 million end users, you can achieve the same advantages —
reliability, scalability, performance, and easy deployment and
manageability that are enjoyed today by Oracle's internal IT
organizations. Read the white paper in details:

The Defence Arts Therapy Centre provides therapeutic and artistic catharsis for returned service men and women. The project formally extends Bather's Way through an archaeological approach to its architecture. The DATC acknowledges the violence and histories involved with conflicts and their influences, both tangible and intangible, on public space.
The DATC's rhythmic timbers and subtle upward journey, alongside internalised forms and spaces for prospect promote the negotiation of introspection, outlook and communal experience. Sited to rehabilitate the exhausted Shepherd's Hill defence bunker, the therapy centre addresses the historical, political and social responsibilities of all – veterans, families, communities and nations.

Herbert "Bert" Davies
I am looking for information regarding my father, Bert Davies. The only picture I have is one he sent home to his family in his RAF uniform. He was born 1922, thus probably was in WW2 at some point. He was born and lived after the service in Holywell, North Wales.
My father passed away in 1977 and I am trying to get any information.
If you knew him, any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

All candidates - quotes for the press if you win
Neil McGovern <neilm <at> debian.org>
Hi all, This may be a thinly veiled attempt to get some work out of my way before the election, rather than after it. However, it may also be useful for voters in determining their ballots! Could you provide a couple of sentences (no more) for the below? * How do you feel about having won the election? * What is the main thing you're looking to change in your first 100 days? * What do you view Debian's greatest challenge in the coming year? * How important is Debian directly, now that Ubuntu and Linux Mint have grown so popular? Thanks, Neil (Press officer du jour) -- --

One of the parts of Mists of Pandaria I have enjoyed the most is the epic storyline with how much of a pain in the butt Garrosh has become. From when he took over as leader of the heart and a small 'skinning' raid to the beginnings of the epic conclusion to the storyline sometime in the future.
Patch 5.3 brought the next step to the Garrosh's quest for a refocusing of the Horde to Durotar and the Barrens. Since I was busy playing on another server with low level characters I had not taken a look at the storyline til a couple of days ago.
Your first steps start with a letter (the post office department in Warcraft has to be losing money somewhere) that takes you back to Pandaria. After finishing a couple of quick scenarios you're sent off to talk to Vol'jin in Sen'jin Village.
I"m not going to bore you with the details other than most of these directed quests are relatively easy. But after you talk to Vol'jin the first time if you look a little bit to your left you will see my favorite word. Quartermaster. Quartermasters always have interesting things that might bring more profits to my pocket. And this one is no different.
So as I was thumbing through the different items most of them were personal bind on pickup gear that probably wouldn't be able to be resold. But then I stumbled upon an interesting little item.
Gahz'rooki's Summoning Stone
Okay. So this suspiciously looks like a new pet. New Pet generally gives good profits. Especially for players who don't participate in storylines. It requires one Radical Mojo which can either be obtained from the weekly quest provided after finishing the directed plotline.
But look at the logic here. This is going to be one of those areas that will end up disappearing sometime in the future. At some point the Darkspear rebellion will no longer be in rebellion (at least we hope so) and that means no more quartermaster. Oooo I am starting to like the sound of this one. Disappearing quartermaster, possibility of a rare pet that won't be obtainable anymore (anyone hugging their Spirit of Competition yet?
So what to do, what to do. A quick jaunt over to Theunderminejournal gives me the average mean of 700-1500g per pet. Not a bad profit for about an hour and a half of work. But I look at what the future might bring. How difficult would it be to start to finish a dual profit campaign. 700g is nice but I like to be a gambling person. And at some point there will be a new influx of players who want this pet.
So I started working the auction house to see just how much on my home servers they were going for. Not surprisingly they were hitting the average cost of around 900g. I can invest a few thousand gold to flip the market and end up with my favorite Zero Balance Investment strategy.
This was my thought process from just a simple idea of what the future might bring in a pet. The other items are very similar (if you notice, the items from the Darkspear Rebellion Quartermaster are BOE, it's the mojo that is BOP) you can drop some of these on the Auction House for the extra lazy players as well.
Profiting from a simple plot driven storyline, and learning how to take advantage of new areas becomes second nature once you have done it once or twice. Just keep an eye on your server and see if the economy can support it. And as always your milage may vary so don't go too deep in the hole just to end up on the other end of a bad deal. Sometimes just taking the gold and run is as good of a strategy as any.

The following is bio and slideshow of hot photos of actress C.J. Perry, who is Lana in the WWE, the Russian manager of wrestler Rusev. As you can see from the photos, C.J. Perry or Lana, is one hot woman.
Hope you enjoy the hot photos of Lana or C.J. Perry in the slideshow. Watch for her at WWE events in 2014.
Hot photos of Lana (C.J. Perry) the WWE manager of Rusev in 2014
Catherine Joy (C.J.) Perry was born in Gainesville, Florida on March 24, 1985. She is both Venezuelan and Portuguese. C.J.'s dad worked as a missionary when she was little, and the family moved to Latvia during her childhood.
Lana or C.J. Perry grew up loving to dance, and since her mom was a ballet dancer it was only natural that C.J. follow in her shoes or slippers. C.J. began dancing with the Latvian National Ballet when she was a young teenager.
When she was 17, C.J. Perry moved to New York and danced at a number of places including the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. A year or two later, C.J. Perry enrolled at Florida State University, where she studied dancing and acting.
While at Florida State, C.J. Perry became somewhat famous when she cheered at an FSU college football game with her friend Jenn Sterger and was shown on national TV with Brent Musberger saying that 1,500 red-blooded Americans just decided to apply to FSU.
Due to that exposure, C.J. Perry was able to begin a modeling career which landed her the role of spokesperson for products like Red Bull. After college, C.J. Perry moved to Los Angeles to begin a career in show business.
So far in her Hollywood career, C.J. Perry has landed roles in movies like "Pitch Perfect" and "Pitch Perfect 2". C.J. has also been on TV shows like "The Real Housewives of Atlanta", "The Game" and "Banshee".
In June of 2013, C.J. Perry signed a contract with the WWE. She soon became Lana, the gorgeous leggy blonde Russian manager and spokesperson for wrestler Rusev. In reality, Rusev is Bulgarian and Lana is American, but in the WWE they pretend to be Russian and play up the America vs Russia angle.
Lana caused a bit of controversy when she recently praised Vladimir Putin during a pay-per-view event just three days after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot out of the sky by Russian separatists. The WWE quickly apologized and said that Lana was not referring to that event.
Hope you enjoy the hot photos of Lana or C.J. Perry in the slideshow. Watch for Lana at WWE events this year.

There is nothing that rattles the nerves of pot proponents quite like reading obscene statistics in black and white; to see evidence of hard-working American citizens continuing to struggle inside a cesspool of poverty, while state governments continue to piss away sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars busting people for weed.
Earlier this week, the American Civil Liberties Union launched a new online resource that will get your blood boiling, as it allows users to see, first hand, just how much money is being spent on enforcing marijuana laws in their state. The tool also provides insight into marijuana arrest rates and how those translate from a racial standpoint.
The Uncovery was put together using 2010 statistics from a detailed report released last year by the ACLU entitled "Billions of Dollars Wasted On Racially Biased Arrests," which found that despite the rate of marijuana use being relatively the same in both black and white Americans, blacks were still four times more likely to be arrested for pot possession.
The study also found that Uncle Sam spent nearly $4 billion enforcing marijuana laws in America, busting someone for a weed-related offense every 41 seconds in 2010. A mind blowing 88% of the United States' 889,133 arrests were for possession -- that is 300,000 more than what was made for all violent crime.
In my home state of Indiana, the powers that be spent an embarrassing $38,480,904 enforcing marijuana laws in 2010, while neighboring Kentucky spent close to $20 million. However, those bastards in Illinois spent almost $222 million just trying to keep a plant from being smoked…Ridiculous.
It is worth noting that while most states continue to spend millions of dollars to keep weed off the streets this year, Colorado will generate over $100 million in tax revenue.

What's That You Say? It's Only Tuesday???
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
*SIGH* Only Tuesday. I was so hoping that by this time we'd further along in the week. We're having a BBQ at work on Friday and I'm hoping that we get to go home a bit early. I need a break! I'm going to do some heavy cleaning over the 3 day Holiday. We''...maybe I am. We'll see if I get around to it. Hubby has his own list of "stuff" he wants to get done. Usually his list supersedes my list.
Ant Update: I found one ant in the empty pantry last night when I got home. I'll check it again tonight. I'm hoping it was just a straggler. But Then hubby found them in our bathroom this morning. There's no food in there, so I can only think they were after water maybe? Anyway...I cleaned it all up, checked under the sink, in the drawers...nothing there. It looks like they are coming from between the sink/vanity and the wall. One of the things that better be on hubby's list is spraying the entire outside of the house. I'm getting tried of the whole ant thing!
Weight was up this morning. Must have been dinner last night. Hubby doesn't "do" mac and cheese, and I had a Mac and Cheese dinner thingy. I told him we're going to eat out of the house. I have a freezer full of this and that. We really need to eat what we have at home before buying a bunch of new stuff. Anyway...since hubby doesn't eat mac and cheese, I used the mac part of it with some spaghetti sauce, tossed in some Teri-pineapple chicken meatballs, added some garlic bread and we had dinner! I did add a bit of the cheese sauce to mine, it was really salty. Then some chocolate frosting for dessert (it was the Cool Whip kind, not a lot of calories). I'm not sure what I'm making tonight. I'll have to raid the freezer.
I got in a 55 mins workout on the treadmill at work, but I the calorie burn was a bit low for me. I don't know if I just wasn't pushing myself or what. I was watching Defiance (I buy each esp from Google Play). I watched it last night when it was on SyFy..but I enjoy watching it again.
OK...I guess that's all for today from me. Have a good rest of Tuesday!

'Nunsense' opens Thursday at Tricia's Catering
Published: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 11:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 11:54 a.m.
About 17 years have passed since Hot Flash Player Cornelia Briggs gowned the costume and persona of Mother Superior. That marked the first time the off-Broadway hit "Nunsense" was performed in Lexington, and Briggs, a founding member of the Hot Flash Players, played the leading role.
Want to go?
'Nunsense' opens Thursday at Tricia's Catering in Lexington, with additional shows scheduled Friday through Sunday and Nov. 7-10. Tickets, which include dinner and a show, are $25 in advance and $35 at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m., dinner is at 6:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. All tickets are sold at Tricia's. For more information, call 236-8007.
Now, nearly two decades later, Briggs is again taking the lead.
"I have not remembered any of it, so it was like learning it all over again," Briggs said. "It's a great deal of fun. I was with a talented group of ladies that time, and this time, I'm with another group of talented ladies."
"Nunsense," a musical comedy first performed on the stage in 1985, is a story about a convent of nuns, forced into holding a fundraiser to raise money to bury most of their convent, who have died from food poisoning.
The show, last performed in Lexington in the mid-1990s, opens Thursday at Tricia's Catering in Lexington, with additional shows scheduled Friday through Sunday and Nov. 7-10. Tickets, which include dinner and a show, are $25 in advance and $35 at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m., dinner is at 6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. All tickets are sold at Tricia's, and for more information, call 236-8007.
A portion of the proceeds from this show will benefit Special Olympics of Davidson County.
The Hot Flash Players Performing Arts Co. has been rehearsing for the show about eight weeks, said Hot Flash Player Brenda Sanders.
"We thought this was (a play) we could do for our audience, which likes comedy," Sanders said. "We've done 'Smoke on the Mountain' and other type musicals before, and people really enjoy those. We decided to tackle this one."
Sanders is part of the ensemble cast in this year's production of "Nunsense."
The Hot Flash Players, founded in 2002, have become a familiar name in Davidson County and the surrounding region for their theatrical productions. The group was formed when seven women took an original play, "The Untimely Demise of Big Earl Jessup," to The Theatre of American Actors in New York.
There are about 11 Hot Flash Players, Briggs said.
"We sort of have the same goal in mind, and that's to entertain and do the best job we can," Briggs said. "It's also to raise a little money along the way for charities. It's just a good deal all the way around."
Other cast members, not listed above, are Becky Lippard (Sister Hubert), Wendy Spry Lerch (Sister Robert Ann), Lynnae Benton (Sister Amnesia) and Megan Colucci (Sister Leo). The ensemble cast is made up of Ginger Briggs, Lynn Hedrick and Lisa Nelson. The percussionist is Ed Snider.
This year's production is directed by Rodney Luck, who also directed the Lexington production in the 1990s. Music directors are Anita Bunce and Jo Ann Poston Hill.
For more information, go to the Hot Flash Players Performance Arts Co.'s Facebook page.

Many women suffer menopause in silence.
Very often, women endure the effects of the menopause in silence because it's a taboo subject, a survey claimed yesterday.
Many women said that their doctor didn't really understand the physical and emotional problems that come with 'the change of life'.
Practically half of all women questioned (46 per cent) blame the menopause for ruining their sex life. Some 38 per cent say it also hits their self-esteem.
Unfortunately, many feel unable to discuss the issues concerning menopause, even with their partner.
In Britain, the average age of the menopause is 51,. This is when periods stop and many women develop symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, depression, irritability, and loss of concentration.Having said that, many lucky women don't get these symptoms. For the ones that do, there are quite a lot of things, even natural things, that a woman can do to help her at this time.
In fact it can often benefit women to try and prepare themselves beforehand by keeping fit and healthy before the onset of menopause.
According to the report, one in six women say hot flushes and anxiety affected their work life.
Some 20 per cent claim their doctor did not understand the problems they were going through. But one third of couples said they would not be comfortable talking about their own or their partner's menopause. (Editor - This is one of the reasons that we will have a confidential forum on this site. So that women can share ideas and the good, the bad and the ugly of menopause).
Some researchers suggest taht women in the UK often ahve a harder time in meopause that in many other countries.
More than half feel tired all the time and suffer aching joints, compared with much lower levels in Japan, China, the U.S. and Canada. It is thought stress could be responsible.
Perhaps as a starting point, we should not suffer in silence any more. Share your feelings with others, your partner or people here on this site.

- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1-1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1-1/4 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 1-1/4 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Yield: 4 servings.
Reviews for Quick Beef Vegetable Soup
"Really quick and so easy to make. We love it!"
"Really good! I changed up a bit. Didn't use molasses , used brown sugar and tablespoon of ketchup"
"I love a thick, chunky soup, and this fits the bill! Add a salad, warm rolls, and laugh at the cold outside!"
"Easy and delicious. I've stopped using soy sauce and instead use 1 tsp. of Worcestershire Sauce in this recipe. Also, I use two 14 oz. cans of beef broth and have cut back on the frozen vegetables. In addition, I salt and pepper the meat when browning and add a handful of uncooked macaroni to the soup and cook until ingredients are tender. It's the molasses that make this soup so outstanding. Thanks for sharing."
"Delicious! I added a little extra hot water rinsed in the tomato sauce can to make it soupier. I also added a bit of brown sugaras I had no molasses. And, I had some leftover vegetables from a beef stew in the fridge. You guessed it--they stretched this soup so we'll have more tomorrow."

SMITE: Demigods, Deities and Gods Explained is a new column dedicated to introducing prospective players of SMITE to its massive back story of lore. From the Greek to Hindi, each week we'll look at two characters from a major pantheon and provide a quick recap of their history and in what capacity their digital incarnation will represent on the field of Hi-Rez Studios upcoming MOBA.
Lore: Anubis – Anapa in Egyptian – is the jackal-headed son of Nephthys and is most closely related with the Egyptian process of mummification and thus, the afterlife. The association is strengthened further in hieroglyphics, which sees a jackal, Anubis' animal form, sitting atop a tomb. In addition to protecting those during their travel to Datu, the underworld, Anubis was the "Guardian of Scales", weighing the fate of the soul of the deceased.
His parentage is complicated, changing depending on the timeframe and legend of the texts. In the earliest texts, Anubis was of Ra's seed. Later texts claim the father as Osiris. A near-equal amount attribute his patronage to that of Osiris' brother, Set. Murkier still, one legend claims that Nephthys used alcohol to seduce Osiris, another that his mother impersonated Isis for the same purpose.
Hit the jump for the rest of Anubis' lore and how it's used in-game. Continue Reading

An Introduction to Machine Learning with Web Data is a new video offering from O'Reilly with data scientist Hilary Mason delivering the content in seminar format. At slightly under three hours in length, broken into five segments, the video is a well-paced primer for those new to machine learning.
The example case used is classification of article data retrieved from the New York Times, using Python and various algorithms. Python 2.x and several modules are used for this purpose, so to follow along you should have access to a machine with that version of Python and the ability to install modules. Code used in the seminar is available for checkout using git, via Github. After installing the appropriate Python modules, the provided scripts functioned without errors. Some experience with Python would make the experience better, but the code is not complex and could be worked out by most programmers.
While the use of mathematics is crucial to analysis, the math used in this presentation is easily understood and contributes to the content ( a positive feature unusual enough to rate high praise ).
Overall this would be a worthwhile purchase for someone interested in machine learning, but who does not have much, if any, hands-on experience with the processes involved.

Modern Pentecostalism claims to inherit its name from an historical, biblical event known as "the Pentecost". The Pentecost was part of the Jewish feast known as the "Feasts of weeks". It was during these celebrations that the Holy Spirit descended and began Its work within the infant Church. Let us read on Acts 2:1-3:
(1) "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
(2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
(3) Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them."
It is our intent to offer you, my dear beloved readers, a well-balanced and accurate narrative of the events occurred at Pentecost. In order to achieve this, the beloved readers must take a stand in an objective and unbiased position, free from any dogmatic influence that may undermine our purpose. Our purpose is: To make the crooked straight and to reform the distortion of Pentecostalism.
In the tradition of the Pentecostal bodies, the emphasis is made on the descent of the Holy Spirit and its miracles. Pentecostals claim, "The miracles and signs manifested by the Spirit are that which counts". The things which are emotional, visual, and supernatural entice men through sight, leading them this way astray and away from that which the Lord has granted to us in His great mercy, that is, the Eternal Gospel, which is an indispensable element in order to be able to obtain eternal life.
When speaking of visible signs, we must have prudence as our ally, for Satan succeeded in conquering the man of Eden by luring him through sight: "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes..." (Genesis 3:6). This is still Satan's favorite method of deception: "But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3).
It is said, and this is true, that there is no other better principle of hermeneutics and parameter than the Gospel. Being the fact that it is the Gospel the beginning and the end of redemption, let us therefore test all things according to God's salvational purpose which is in Christ, that is, to "gather together in one all things in Christ" (Ephesians 1:10). If our statement is in full accordance to the fulfilment of this primary divine purpose, then, we must accept it; but if said statement goes against it, then, we must reject it for it is not from God. By the light of this great purpose is that we will bring forth an accurate analysis of the Bible's Pentecost, and at the same time, we will uncover and refute the Pentecostal perversion of this historical event.
In order for us to discern correctly that which is truly significant and meaningful on Pentecost, it is imperative to take a look back to the past and pay heightened attention to the following facts: Let us see:
God scattered men in Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) in order to avoid them to save themselves through human methods. God achieved this by confusing their languages. Through this, God confounded and dispersed a people which pretended to achieve what is impossible: "Self-salvation".
God promised Israel deliverance, salvation and restoration. These promises were accomplished and fulfilled through the Promised Messiah. Christ is the total and absolute fulfilment of all the promises made to Israel through Abraham: "And we declare to you glad tidings-that promise which was made to the fathers. God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus..." (Acts 13:32-33).
God had promised He would speak to His Israel in other language: "For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people" (Isaiah 28:11).
Let us now continue, by the light of the statements we have already exposed unto you, to bring forth the true interpretation on regards to the Bible's Pentecost, the day the Holy Spirit was passed out on the apostles. Notice this important detail: The events at Pentecost are opposite to Babel's. On Pentecost, God used once again the languages, but this time with a different purpose, that is, to gather and not to scatter. At Pentecost, God restored the proper order of things by allowing an efficient form of communication and He also gathered the Jews of the Dispersion (Acts 2:5), fulfilling this way the promises made to Israel: "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call" (Acts 2:39). By the way, God fulfilled the prophecy made to Isaiah which foretells that in a strange tongue He will speak to Israel.
The True Meaning of Pentecost
Let us enumerate the most notable events occurred on the Day of Pentecost by the light of Acts chapter 2. Obviously, we must stand out the following events:
The descent of the Holy Spirit
The manifestation of the gift of tongues
Peter's preaching of the Gospel
Now, let us review and analyze these events and then, we will place them in their proper order according to the significance the Holy Word of God gives them:
1) The descent of the Spirit:
The Holy Spirit has been historically acknowledged by the orthodox religions as the Third Person of the Trinity. Christ, speaking to the apostles, foretold and clearly established its function as Guide of the Church. In reference to the Holy Spirit, the Lord Jesus said:
(8) "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment." (John 16:8)
( 13) "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
(14) He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you." (John 16:13-14)
By the light of these biblical passages, we can conclude that Christ and His work will be the Spirit's constant message. In other words, the Spirit is in charge, as a divine agent, of teaching the Church in regards to the event of Calvary. In regards to this, the Lord says:
(26) "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me." (John 15:26)
At Pentecost, as soon as the Holy Spirit descended, it began its work as our guide to commend Christ as our only way to attain everlasting life. Notice that this primary work of the Spirit-which is to lead us to Christ-is accomplished the way the Lord foretold. Peter, being directed by the Holy Spirit, reproved the people of their great sin, and later he introduces them to the Anointed King and Lord of Israel as the only true way through which all men receive forgiveness, and as a result, acquittal and everlasting life (Be sure to read Acts 2:32-40).
Being the fact that the Holy Spirit is wrongly used by Pentecostalism to promote their counterfeited miracles and wonders, we are compelled to bring forth the following explanation: The only true way to acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit, is not through miracles and wonders, but through the preaching of the Gospel (the acts of Jesus). Remember that the Scripture warns us that the spirit of Satan will be identify with deceiving miracles and signs, as clearly and explicitly declared on Revelation 13:13-14 and Matthew 7:22-23. Let us read:
(13) "He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
(14) And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do..." (Revelation 13:13-14)
(22) "Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?
(23) And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" (Matthew 7:22-23)
However, Satan can never preach the Eternal Gospel, for such action goes against his evil goals. Therefore, by his words we fully recognize him and uncover his pretensions; let us read on Revelation 13:11 :
(11) "Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon."
In conclusion, the presence of the Holy Spirit can only be verified without error through the Eternal Gospel. The apostle Paul clearly speaks on this matter: "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8-9)-[the emphasis made on these verses is ours]. However, by saying it twice, the apostle is also calling our attention to that point. The Holy Spirit, more than a miraculous agent, which it is indeed, is the teaching agent of the Gospel.
2) The Manifestation of the Gift of Tongues:
Three things were accomplished through the gift of tongues:
The prophecy of Isaiah 28:11 was fulfilled.
The promises made to Israel were proclaimed and spread (Be sure to read Acts 2:39-41).
The tongues were an evidence of God's acceptance
of the Gentiles (Acts 10:44-47).
By the light of what we have already mentioned, we can surely conclude that the tongues fulfilled the following goals:
To communicate to the offspring the fulfilment of the promise made to their parents.
To confirm the Gentiles as legitimate members of the nation of God and fellow-participants of the promise made to Abraham.
Both goals were fully met by means of the "gift of tongues"-which was at that moment necessary, but never meant to be a permanent gift. We must be sober and see the close relationship the Word establishes between the tongues and the Gospel. It is imperative to do these things, for it is the Gospel that which determines whether a gift is from God and works on behalf of God's plan of redemption or not. If the tongues speak with intelligible sound (that is, they proclaim the Gospel), the such come from God; but if said tongues give an uncertain call (its preaching has nothing to do with the Gospel), let it be condemned!
The great truth is that when the Church was born, there were special and distinctive circumstances that made more than necessary and justifiable this gift of tongues. Such circumstances were:
The fact that most apostles were illiterate, with no academic degree (they were not polyglots).
Jews (the sons) came from every country under heaven with their respective dialects.
The need to announce God's acceptance to the Gentiles.
However Paul indicates that the gift of tongues was meant to disappear in this age. History confirmed Paul's statement, as written on 1 Corinthians 13:8, "...whether there are tongues, they will cease..." It is logical to conclude that the given gifts will cease after the necessary circumstances which made them useful ceases also. In order to summarize some ground covered on regards to the gift of tongues, we will emphasize the fact that such gift was a mean through which other things were also accomplished, but in no way does this mean that the gift is an end in itself-as Pentecostalism pretends to establish.
3) Peter's preaching of the Gospel:
On Pentecost, Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's primary function is to teach the Gospel (or to bring forth the knowledge of the Gospel) to the potential Church members. Peter, in accordance to this purpose, preached the simplest, most eloquent and efficient evangelical sermon ever proclaimed. This brief preaching was so effective and successful that 3,000 souls were added to the Church in that day (Acts 2:41).
It is necessary to notice this important detail: Peter did not preach a testimony about a personal change in his life- as done in today's Pentecostal circles-on the contrary, Peter, in full harmony and accordance to God's (therefore, the Spirit's) purpose, proclaimed the wonderful works of God in Christ. By doing this, the apostle brought forth to Israel deliverance, salvation and redemption. The Gentiles, who were also listening, joined God's Israel.
Peter did not preach about personal high-powered ecstatic experiences of bodily sensations that would make him twist and jump under the mesmerizing influence of the Spirit, as claimed by Pentecostalism. This is the evident implication: The Holy Spirit, inspiring us in an extraordinarily mysterious way, allows us to comprehend the Gospel, but It will never seize or possess us by introducing itself into our bodies. It is, therefore, necessary to suspect of that seizing spirit which is now infesting the Church in our days.
The Biblical Order
When taking upon consideration how significant were the events occurred at Pentecost: First, we must be careful of not altering the specific proper arrangement of things the Word has established. We are not allowed to alter or distort reality to an extent as to exalt or emphasize on that which was intended to be just a mean or medium-as it is the case of the gift of tongues. This distortion is one of the ways to obstruct and hinder God's purpose. He who supports such misinterpretation is a heretic.
What is truly important about the day of the Pentecost is the preaching of the glorious Gospel through which God restored Israel, which is also home for the Gentiles. At Pentecost begins "the Age of the Spirit" as the educator and guide of the Church, which allow us to know our salvation in Christ (and all its implications). The signs and wonders manifested at Pentecost are not a qualified evidence that this is the Spirit's permanent "modus operandi". The Bible is clear: The only qualified sign of the Spirit is the presence and action of the Gospel. As noted earlier, these secondary signs appeared due to the given circumstances at the time.
Salvation is never attained by the Spirit's doings but by Christ's. The Holy Spirit's marvelous work does not consist of speaking in tongues or performing temporary healings, but to lead us to believe and trust on God's work in Christ on our behalf-that is, to bring forth the glad tidings that in Christ the original order which was in Eden was reestablished, and that the old things have passed away in God's eyes.
Now, let us establish by the light of everything we have exposed unto you, the proper biblical order of the events occurred at Pentecost:
God's purpose was achieved to "gather together in one all things in Christ" through the Gospel.
The promise about the Holy Spirit acting as the teaching agent of the Church and as a powerful vicar of Christ, was realized.
The tongues' temporary commitment of making possible God's purpose was accomplished. This is-and there is no other-the true primary goal of the Bible's Pentecost.

VERY CUTE and well made 12/14/2010
The table and chairs are as adorable as pictured. My daughter loves it! If I have one negative thing to say is that the hand paint can come off fairly with cleaning. My Bambino, if there's a protective coating you could use so that that isn't a real issue, that would be great.

Kids With Rocks Attack Ice-Cream Truck in Annapolis
Turkey in the Straw? More like soft-serve-filled sitting duck.
It's come to this: Fifteen "juveniles" threw rocks at a slow-moving ice-cream truck in Annapolis yesterday, and one of the projectiles was hurled with such force that it shattered a side window. The driver pulled over to inspect the damage, and the kids stormed the truck and ... stole the guy's wallet. First there was that armed ice-cream-truck-jacking, and now this deplorable assault — when will it end? And not to condone any of this insanity, but why isn't anyone stealing Choco Tacos? "It's pretty sad when an ice cream truck gets rocks thrown at it," a local police sergeant says. [Baltimore Sun, Earlier]

Brian's exclusive forecast for Washington DC:
Today: Chilly early, then sunny and warm with a high around 70.
Tonight: Mostly clear and not as cool with a low in the mid 50s.
Friday: Sunny early, then increasing clouds with a shower late. The high will be in the lower 70s.
Friday Night: A good chance of rain showers with a low in the lower 60s.
Saturday: Clouds and showers early, then clearing and pleasant with a high around 70.
The extended forecast calls for sunshine on Sunday with a low in the mid 50s and a high in the mid to upper 70s. Clouds and sun on Monday with a low in the lower 60s and a high in the upper 70s to near 80. Showers and much cooler on Tuesday with a low in the mid 50s and a high in the upper 50s. Becoming mostly sunny on Wednesday with a low in the mid 40s and a high in the mid 50s.
Weather Summary
High pressure, clear skies, and light winds enabled the mercury to drop into the upper 30s to lower 40s this morning. However, temperatures will recover quickly during the day with afternoon highs approaching 70 degrees. This high will nudge offshore on Friday as a cold front approaches the area from the west. This will produce more cloudiness with a few scattered rain showers by late Friday afternoon and into the evening hours. Low pressure moving along the frontal boundary may produce more widespread showers Friday night into early Saturday. A thundershower is not out of the question, but no severe weather is anticipated. Warm air surging northward ahead of the front will enable temperatures to reach the lower 70s on Friday. In the wake of the cold front, winds will shift to the northwest and sunshine will return for Saturday and Sunday as high pressure builds over the area. As this high moves to our east on Sunday, a more southerly flow of air will develop and temperatures will approach the lower 70s on Sunday and the middle 70s on Monday. Next week will bring some changes with showers on Tuesday and much cooler conditions for the rest of the week with highs only in the 50s on Tuesday and Wednesday.

We admit it. We purchase clutches with a certain amount of trepidation. We're paranoid about setting them down and forgetting to pick them back up. But there's no denying the pull of this Watermelon Stars Clutch ($72). The dark leather bottom complements the bright pink stars and gold zipper. There's no way we'd accidentally forget this pretty on the the subway seat or checkout counter! (We think. We hope.)
