It has been correctly stated that Christians are in a constant war. And in this war, we have three main enemies; the world, the devil, and our unregenerated flesh.
The Bible teaches that we, humans, are spiritual beings that have souls and who live in physical bodies. In other words, we consist of three parts; spirit, soul, and body. "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23, KJV).
Some view the soul and spirit as being the same thing, but this is not true. Both soul and spirit are part of the "inward" person, but they are clearly separate. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discernier of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12).
When we were born again, our spirit was recreated and bonded with God's Spirit. So, the new birth refers to our spirit. The remaining two parts of us, the soul and body, were not born again. These two parts remain in an unregenerated state. Many difficult Bible passages can be more clearly understood if you realize this fact. At times, the Bible speaks directly concerning our spirit but not to the soul or body. "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1 John 3:9). The part of us that was born of God, our human spirit, cannot sin. We sin from the part of us that was not recreated during the new birth.
We see in scripture that the "born again" part of us is in a constant battle against the unregenerated parts of us. Even the Apostle Paul had this problem. "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of which is in my members." (Romans 7:22,23).
The part that we give the most attention to is the part of us that will dominate our lives. If we neglect the things of the spirit and continually embrace the things of the flesh, we will be flesh dominated. However, if we crucify our flesh, that means to deny its ungodly desires, and sow to our spirit, we will be dominated by our born again spirit.
In order to be spiritually victorious in life, we must live a spiritual life. We have to spend time in God's word and in prayer. We have to embrace the fruits of the spirit and fight against the lusts of the flesh. There is an old saying that basically says that everyone has two dogs fighting on the inside of them. The one that is fed is the one that will win. And the one that is starved is the one that will grow weak and lose. Follow after the things of the Spirit and you will have victory over your flesh. You will see more of God's power manifested in your life when you are spiritually dominated.

History of the Cuming family collection and the Cuming Museum
The Cuming collectionThe Cuming Museum is a special resource housed in the Borough of Southwark in South East London. It was the result of over 100 years of collecting between 1780 and 1900 by father and son, Richard and Henry Cuming. They were able to acquire many beautiful and significant objects at a time when a gentleman collector living in London could purchase objects from any part of the world.
Richard and Henry Cuming collected anything and everything from ancient Egyptian artefacts to the paper bags their bread came in! Today the collection of over 25,000 artefacts that they amassed consists of archaeology, British social history, ethnography, British popular art, decorative art, geology, textiles, natural history, prints, coins, ceramics, ancient history including Egyptian and Etruscan objects.
History Of The Cuming MuseumRichard Cuming (1777 to 1870) was the son of a tinplater from Devon. The family moved to 3 Dean's Row in the Walworth Road in 1779 when Richard Cuming was two years old. The site of 3 Dean's Row is approximately where the McDonald's is on the Walworth Road.
Richard became interested in collecting when his aunt gave him three fossils and an old Mogul (Indian) coin. He described this gift as the: "Nucleus of his vast and varied collections of natural and artificial curiosities." Richard Cuming's first major purchases were from the sale of the Leverian Museum in 1806. He continued to collect throughout his life from a range of sources including from auctions, sales and from neighbors and friends who made gifts and donations to him.
Geology was Richard Cuming's first enthusiasm. He kept his shells and rocks in a cabinet he made, which is now part of the collection. His nickname when young was "the young philosopher", showing his passion for reading and learning about the things he collected. Later he became particularly interested in science and natural history, attending the Chemical Society of London, building scientific apparatus and buying stuffed animals. As his interest in collecting grew, he began to concentrate on 'Artificial Curiosities', or man made objects. He was able to amass a huge collection of objects, many of them rare and curious examples of things from all over the world.
|Henry Syer Cuming (1817 to 1902) continued his father's work of collecting things from the everyday lives of people all over the world, but his special interests were the archaeology of London, folklore and British popular art and the lives of the people of South London. He collected many thousands of objects that revealed the ordinary lives of South Londoners in the 1800s, from theatre adverts and rail tickets to cheap toys and good luck charms.
During Henry's lifetime the growing antiques market was flooded with fakes which Henry enjoyed collecting and exposing.
When he died in 1902 he left the Cuming family collection to the people of the parish of St Mary Newington (now the Borough of Southwark). His will stated "My museum illustrative of natural history, archaeology and ethnology with my coins and medals and along with all other curios" be exhibited in "a suitable and spacious gallery or apartments in connection with Newington Public Library."
The museum was to be known as the Cuming Museum and he left a sum of money to employ a curator. The museum was opened in 1906 by Lord Rothschild.
The Cuming Museum and collection from 1906When the Cuming Museum opened to the public in 1906, the exhibits were all from the Cuming family's original collection. After the opening, local people and other collectors quickly began to donate other objects to the museum. As the borough of Southwark developed and grew, objects relating to the history of the borough were deposited in the collection, including archaeology from excavations in the 1960's and 1970's.
The Lovett collections of London supersititions was donated by Edward Lovett in the 1920's, recieved a great deal of press coverage and quickly became a favourite part of the Cuming Museum displays.
The museum was very popular with local visitors until the outbreak of war in 1939 and a hit from an incendiary bomb in 1941 lead to its closure until the museum was reopened in 1951, when it concentrated on displays of Southwark's history.
Today the collection gives a fascinating insight into the history of Southwark and of cultures around the world. The museum continues to collect material relating to the people and history of Southwark.

Box Score
UCLA WVB on Facebook | UCLA WVB on Twitter | 2012 Media Guide
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Sophomore Karsta Lowe led the Bruins with 12 kills and had no hitting errors in 19 attempts for a .632 hitting percentage, as third-ranked UCLA defeated Northeastern in three sets on Friday at the UCSB Invitational. Set scores were 25-21, 25-18, 25-21.
The Bruins improve to 2-1 on the season, while the Huskies fall to 4-1.
Lowe tied a career high in kills, and along with setting a career best in hitting percentage, had a personal-high eight digs. Senior Tabi Love was a kill shy of double figures with nine, while senior Rachael Kidder added five kills. Freshman Becca Strehlow started two of the sets and had 22 assists, while sophomore Megan Moenoa opened the match with 12 assists in the first. Senior Bojana Todorovic posted eight digs and sophomore Zoë Nightingale added five blocks. The Bruins out-hit the Huskies .343 to .168 for the match.
The Huskies scored four of the first six points to take an early lead, but three in a row for the Bruins on a kill by Kidder and two Northeastern attack errors put them up 5-4. UCLA never relinquished the lead for the rest of the set. Tied at five, the Bruins scored four straight on two kills by Love, a combo block by Moenoa and junior Mariana Aquino and a Todorovic ace. With the Bruins still up by four at 14-10, they netted a 5-1 run to take a set-best lead of eight at 19-11. UCLA's five points came on three NU errors, a Lowe kill and a Nightingale solo block.
The Bruins had a bunch of set points with a 24-18 lead, but the Huskies saved the first three, prompting a UCLA timeout. However, a Lowe kill, her team-best seventh of the set, clinched a 25-21 victory. Lowe was a perfect 7-for-7 in the opener, while Love added three kills. The Bruins out-hit the Huskies .310 to .129.
Northeastern got off to a quick start in the second, scoring four of the first five points. The Huskies still led 8-6, but a 4-0 UCLA run on two kills by Love, an Aquino/Strehlow combo block and an Aquino kill put the Bruins on top 10-8. UCLA held the lead for the rest of the set. Up 16-13, a 4-0 run on a kill by Lowe, a Nightingale block, an ace by junior Meg Norton and a Love kill made it 20-13.
Like the first set, the Bruins' biggest lead was eight at 22-14. With the score 24-16, the Huskies held two set points, but a Kidder kill gave the Bruins a 25-18 victory. Love had five kills to lead UCLA in the second, while Aquino and Kidder produced three apiece. UCLA out-hit Northeastern .389 to .231.
Northeastern maintained a lead early on in the third set, going up 12-7. The Bruins countered with a 6-1 run to equal the score at 13. Junior Kelly Reeves had two kills and a solo block during the run, freshman Hannah Boland added two kills, while Lowe posted a kill. The Huskies came back with a 6-2 run to take a 19-15 edge, but the Bruins responded with another run to finish off the sweep.
With the score 21-18, the Bruins netted the final seven points to win it 25-21. A Lowe kill, a Love solo stuff and a combo block by Boland and Lowe evened things at 21. Boland followed with a solo block and a kill, with a Northeastern attack error in between, giving the Bruins match point. Another NU attack error finished off a 25-21 UCLA win. Boland, Lowe and Reeves each led the Bruins with three kills. The Bruins out-hit the Huskies .324 to .140.
The Bruins face host UC Santa Barbara on Saturday at 7 p.m. Free audio, video and live stats will be available, with links on the schedule page at UCLABruins.com.

Head Coach Al Bagnoli
On the game:
"It didn't unfold early the way we wanted it to. We struggled in our kick game and we thought their down kids were really the strength of their defense and we struggled more than I thought we would struggle to run the ball, but luckily our pass game was good today and it was very efficient. We made some big plays. Defensively we bent, but didn't break. We put the (defense) under duress early with two blocked punts and great field position, but they kept them to field goals which I thought was huge."
On playing the
homecoming game following a loss:
"The schedule, in a way, helped us. Coming back home and to a homecoming game, you're coming against a traditional rivalry. I thought we would be ready to play and fortunately we were. But obviously we were in uncharted territories. Up until last week, we hadn't had that feeling (of an Ivy loss) in a long time. So it tested the upperclassmen and their ability to regroup, and fortunately they did a nice job."
Senior Linebacker Erik Rask
On limiting Princeton
to field goals despite great field position early in the game:
"You're not expecting the first time on the field to be inside the 20-yard line. When that happens, the defense has to step up and do whatever it takes to keep them out of the end zone. The fact that we're able to hold them to two field goals right from the start, that was huge. Our defensive coaches always say when in the red zone always try to get a turnover, but if not always make them have a field goal try."
Senior Wide Receiver Ryan Calvert
On having the lead at
halftime for the first time in a month:
"Yeah, it was definitely good, but we weren't happy with it at all. We need to be up more than 14-9 against that team. So we went in with the confidence that we had that lead but also knowing we need to do a lot more before the day is done."

Release notes for January 6, 2009
By tbonnema on Jan 06, 2009
For the first time in almost two months we released a few minor changes to Oracle Mix tonight (all on the backend, nothing for you to see yet):
Merge accounts
It happens occasionally that users create two accounts on Mix (but only want to use one of them). This feature allows us to merge duplicate accounts in a clean fashion, keeping content and network information from both.
Human vs. system messages
Mix provides some light-weight messaging capability: There's an inbox, you can send private messages to one or more people in your network etc. Of course, the system also sends out a bunch of stuff (invitations, confirmations, notifications etc.). This feature allows us to track what portion of all direct messages sent across Mix are actually person-to-person (another metric we will monitor that will help us asses how Mix is doing overall).
Last login timestamp
It's essential for us to know how many people on Mix are actually active (for the time being, we've settled for a fairly low threshold and consider anyone an active user who has logged in at least once over the past 30 days). This new timestamp gives us precise data to work with (before, we had to rely on a slighly inaccurate work-around number).
* * *
Oh, and our staging environment is now running on new and improved hardware.
If you find any bugs, please let us know in the comments below or via the feedback form on Mix (requires login). Thanks!

Journalists have been doing nothing by complain ever since coverage of the Sochi Winter Olympics started. There's no running water, or there's yellow running water. There's too strict of bans on homosexual imagery, or there's too much homoerotic imagery of Putin. They just can't seem to be satisfied.
Then Russia says, look how beautiful our women are.
Russian women's team refutes the stereotype that women in sport - it is a mountain of muscle and manly figure.
Surely this will placate the masses. Who doesn't like beautiful women with their talent pushed aside and their flesh out on display? You know, besides the feminists. Maybe even some of the westerners will put their leftover cold war prejudice aside and start rooting for the ex-Soviets in a couple events. There is a lot of beauty on the Russian curling team. But is it enough to make Americans care about curling?
In all fairness the website that released these pictures, AdMe, is perhaps the Russian equivalent of TMZ or Buzzfeed. It's not as if this is an official statement from the Russian Olympic committee or the Russian Government. And President Putin is too busy shirtlessly riding a variety of mammals to be overly concerned with Olympic curlers.

"And when we did actually change the licence, IBM was really upset. They wanted a licence that said they could do whatever they damn well pleased ... They wanted us to give them everything and for them to give nothing back."

The Gazette
NORTH ROYALTON — The ERA of Nick Furman has three numbers just like everyone else.
The difference? Those three are 0.00 through 14 innings this season.
Long waiting for his chance to be an ace, Furman threw his second complete game of the very young season Wednesday as the Brunswick baseball team defeated North Royalton 5-2.
The only hiccups by Furman (2-0) in the scrappy Northeast Ohio Conference River Division game were two unearned runs in the sixth following a two-out error in the infield.
"I'm just coming out here trying to throw strikes and let my teammates make plays," Furman said. "We've got some young guys up in the middle — Ryan Wheeler at second and Ricky Kemp at short — making plays. It makes it easier when guys are making plays for you."
The big right-hander with a fastball-slider combination effectively worked around six hits — five were by Nate Koran (3 singles) and Mike Jayjack (2 doubles) — and struck out seven one week after going the distance in a 2-1 win over Mayfield.
Furman bided his time behind former stars Brandon Kutrubs (2012 Gazette MVP), Kyle Michalik (now at Ohio State) and Gerry Salisbury (Ohio) as the No. 3 or 4 starter the past two seasons, waiting for the chance to show off his repertoire.
That time is now.
"He hits spots better than anyone," third baseman Corey Welsh said. "He's always in the strike zone. When he does that and we make plays for him, you can't ask anything better from him."
The Brunswick offense is inexperienced with six new starters, but did enough little things right to give Furman enough support. The Blue Devils (3-0, 1-0) scored on an RBI double and single while also pushing across runs on a groundout, fielder's choice and sacrifice fly.
Welsh and left fielder Kyle Sasalla combined for four of the team's seven hits, leadoff man Ryan Kuntz walked twice, No. 9 hitter Chaz Bova ripped an RBI double and Brunswick was robbed of two more runs on a backward leaping grab by North Royalton second baseman Koran.
"That's just the way it worked out today," Welsh said. "We're a good hitting team."
Brunswick took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI groundout by three-year starter Gary Clift Jr. That gave way for a duel between Furman and Bears counterpart Noah Sasse (1-1), as the pair combined to retire 17 of 19 batters over the second, third and fourth innings.
Sasse flinched first with consecutive walks to begin the fifth, and Sasala beat out a sacrifice bunt to load the bases. Freshman Jake Williams then grounded into a fielder's choice to make it 2-0 and Bova followed with the RBI double over the head of center fielder Garrett Strom.
Brunswick pushed the ante to 4-0 in the sixth on a SAC fly by first baseman Todd Andrews, but North Royalton countered with two unearned runs in the bottom half on a two-out error and Jayjack RBI double.
Furman got out of that jam with a bases-loaded strikeout of pinch-hitter Branden Walsh. Furman later popped up Frank Fate with two men on in the seventh to slam the door.
The end result wasn't flashy, but the something-to-prove Blue Devils like it that way.
Step one of defending their share of the NOC River Division title is complete.
"We lost seven starting seniors, which obviously doesn't help, but we've got a couple young guys stepping up to the plate and ready to win some baseball games," Furman said. "We've been preparing for this, and we came out and did what we needed to do."

Brunswick 5, North Royalton 2
WP — Nick Furman (2-0) 7 innings, 0 earned runs, 2 walks, hit by pitch, 7 strikeouts. LP — Noah Sasse (1-1) 4⅓ innings, 3 runs, 3 earned, 4 hits, 2 walks, strikeout. Brunswick (3-0, 1-0) — Corey Welsh 2 singles; Chaz Bova double. North Royalton (2-1, 0-1) — Nate Koran 3 singles; Mike Jayjack 2 doubles.

Felipe Salles: Seven Days
Seven Days
Felipe Salles (soprano, tenor, baritone saxes)
South American Suite (Curare Records CRCD 3864)
Felipe Salles (soprano, tenor, baritone saxes),
Joel Yennior (trombone), Jacam Manricks (flute, alto sax), Laura Arpiainen (violin), Nando Michelin (piano), Fernando Huergo (bass), Bertram Lehmann (drums), Rogerio Boccato (percussion).
Composed by Felipe Salles.
Recorded: Brooklyn, NY, August 10-11, 2006
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
Salles's South American Suite is an impressive seven-piece work, and the opening "Seven Days" perhaps best accomplishes its intent. Salles takes native rhythms of Brazil – some well-known, many more obscure – and writes compelling compositions based on them, with richly textured modern orchestrations that encourage expressive ensemble playing and solos. The leader's tenor and Michelin's piano begin the track with a spiritual duet remindful of Coltrane and Tyner, which soon evolves into a dancing riff-like melody inspired by two Brazilian rhythms – the Baiăo and Maracatu – with trombone punctuating the enticing beat. The theme is then effectively repeated at times with varying blends of instruments. Among the soloists during this absorbing, nearly 11-minute performance, Manricks on alto and Salles on tenor excel, each creatively using vocalized inflections and cleverly altered rhythmic patterns to enhance the harmonic depth of their improvisations.

That's one of the least offensive pieces of farfetched action in the (red-band) trailer for this movie. I haven't read the comic this is based on so as far as I know this is the real world, the characters are real people and they're driving real cars. They're not in the Matrix (at least not that I'm aware of) so we're expected to believe these things based on the setting they take place in. In the Matrix (the first film), the world was set up to allow for lots of scenarios that would be impossible in a normal setting; and the movie worked because of that.
During this trailer I couldn't help but shake my head and say wha-wha-whaaat?? I'm all for pushing the bounds of what viewers (myself included) are willing to believe in movies, but some of the things in this trailer go so far beyond the realm of possibility, that it's just silly.
But isn't silly, ridiculous action good? Well, in certain cases yes, but not if you want the movie or its characters to stay with viewers any longer than the end credits.
The events that occur in a film/comic/etc HAVE to be believable within the context of the world that was set up for them in order for us to care. Otherwise, you have characters that are unstoppable, can do anything, and run no risk of injury; without that there's no threat. Without the threat there's no conflict. Without conflict there's no story.
Rejected titles for this post were "Nuking the Fridge" and "It Falls Three Times".

CORA is done
Well, part one is. The files get uploaded to the printer tomorrow. I'm sure there will be tweaks and changes that I still have to make. They somehow become glaringly apparent once the book has left the nest (so to speak). With Rose and Isabel I had about a week or so to mull the thing over and make last minute changes.
Anyhow, Derek Thompson (who just finished his latest Monster Annual and shipped it off yesterday) and I are very excited that we will both have a 2-day weekend to unwind.

Action camera maker GoPro has just filed the required paperwork to see the company push toward an initial public offering, or IPO. In GoPro's statement, it said that the IPO is expected to commence after the SEC completes the review process of their confidential submission.
Because of the confidentiality, there's no details on GoPro's financial state, as the company has less than $1 billion in annual sales, the IPO can be confidential. During an interview with Forbes last year, GoPro founder and CEO Nick Woodman said that the company sold 2.3 million cameras in 2012, pulling in more than $520 million.
GoPro's financial information will remain confidential until it gets closer to its shares being traded.

Popular Mexican Marco Antonio Rubio may get an opportunity to challenge Russian badass Gennady Golovkin on October 18.
"Rubio is a strong option for Gennady to fight," Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions told ESPN.com.
The 34-year-old Rubio (59-6-1, 51 KOs), who has triumphed in six consecutive bouts since losing a unanimous decision to Julio César Chávez, Jr., captured the interim WBC middleweight title by knocking out Domenico Spada on April 5.
Rubio is a hardened battler and the epitome of a professional.
Conversely, the 32-year-old Golovkin (30-0, 27 KOs) scored a third round TKO victory over Australian Daniel Geale to successfully defend the WBA and IBO middleweight belts in July at Madison Square Garden.
Golovkin floored the 33-year-old Geale (30-3, 16 KOs) in the second and then continued to mercilessly stalk the bleeding Aussie.
Sensing a beaten man, Golovkin exchanged punches with Geale in the third and landed a savage right hand that again sent the former two-time middleweight champion to the canvas.
Although Geale managed to regain his footing, referee Michael Ortega compassionately halted the bout at 2 minutes and 43 seconds of the decisive frame.
A bruising, ferocious and accurate slugger, Golovkin has never been toppled in over 375 contests.
Nicknamed "The Poison," Rubio possesses cement hands that could endanger the "Good Boy."
Unfortunately for the veteran Mexican veteran, GGG is a once-in-a-generation middleweight who won't be stopped.
Should the Russian and Mexican throw fists, expect Gennady Golovkin to finish Marco Antonio Rubio within 24 minutes this autumn.

Weather permitting, Karl Gschneidner still rides his bike several miles back and forth to work every day as he has for much of his tenure at the Ames Laboratory.
Even after 61 years, showing up at the office most work days is never a chore for Ames Lab senior metallurgist Karl Gschneidner Jr. And the main reason this world-renown researcher, affectionately known as "Mr. Rare Earth," comes to work is the same one that's powered him from the start – he's having fun!
"If it wasn't still fun, I'd have retired years ago," Gschneidner says. "I enjoy what I do and have always tried to do my best. There's still plenty to learn so I keep at it!"
His crowded office in Spedding Hall is a testament to Gschneidner's reputation and staying power. Dozens of awards, including a National Academy of Engineering membership, cover a fair amount of the available wall space, and floor-to-ceiling bookcases hold a career's worth of reference materials. Multiple file cabinets hold volumes of notes, presentations and articles and neat stacks of unfiled work cover the tops of a desk and two tables.
Much of it bears Gschneidner's name –he published his 500th refereed research journal article earlier this summer, in addition to untold numbers of presentations, lectures and keynote addresses.
An early love of chemistry and physics set Gschneidner on his career path, but it wasn't until he attended graduate school at Iowa State University, and worked as a research associate at Ames Laboratory, that he became involved in the study of rare earths.
"I'd been interested in the metallic elements alloys, but it wasn't until I came here that I began working with rare-earth materials," he says, "and Ames Laboratory has always been THE place when it comes to the rare earths. It was such a fascinating field, I never really considered anything else."
Advances in technology, particular computational power and refinements in analytic instrumentation, have been invaluable to Gschneidner's work.
"One of my first assignments as a new graduate student was to produce a 500-gram sample of gadolinium for another senior grad student to study," he explains. "It took him months of work to plot the heat capacity as a function of temperature. The chart was a roll of paper that extended clear down the hall.
"Now, we can take a very small sample, put it in the calorimeter and the process is entirely automated," he continues. "We can get the same results overnight that required months before. You can't beat that."
Gadolinium has been one of several focal points of his research, particularly its ability to exhibit a giant magnetocaloric effect, or GMCE – it heats up when exposed to a magnetic field and cools down when the field is withdrawn.
Gschneidner was instrumental in development of refrigerators that harnessed this phenomenon in place of traditional gas-compression-driven cooling.
"The biggest stumbling block we now face is coming up with a GMCE material that doesn't progressively break down into smaller pieces over the billions of magnetization/demagnetization cycles required for a 15-20-year appliance life," he says. "We also need to reduce the time dependence of the transformation."
Based on the current pace of research and the growing number of working prototypes around the world, Gschneidner expects magnetic refrigeration to become commercially viable by 2016 or so, a fruition he plans to witness.
"We're finding all kinds of new phenomena in low temperature and low magnetic field research," he says, "and that's what brings me back to the laboratory."

How to find the Galois group $Gal(E|Q)$, where $E=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega,\sqrt{-1})$? I know that $\text{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)|\mathbb{Q})=D_3$, where $D_3$ is the dihedral group, $\omega^3=1$. Does it implies that $$\text{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega,\sqrt{-1})|\mathbb{Q})=D_3\times \mathbb{Z}_2 \quad \mbox{?}$$ Thanks for your attention!

Yes in this case, but no in general. What you know is $\text{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega,\sqrt{-1})|\mathbb{Q})$ has $D_3$ as a subgroup of index two. If $G$ is a group which has a subgroup $H$ of index two, it is not in general the case that $G$ is isomorphic to $H\times \mathbb{Z}_2$.
However, it is the case that the only group of order 12 having $D_3$ as a subgroup of index two is $D_3\times\mathbb{Z}_2$. Thus the Galois group in this case must be isomorphic to $D_3\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ (or equivalently $D_6$).

Even though NPR and PBS have social media policies (while other news organizations choose not to and still others debate their value), hundreds of independent public broadcasters have shared no common resource for social-media best practices.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting wants to fill that gap with a newly released social media handbook for stations, which is hosted at the National Center for Media Engagement website. CPB commissioned the marketing firm iStrategy Labs to write a guide that targets a broad audience: not just the stations who need guidance, but the stations who still need convincing of social media's value.
"There remains some hesitancy in public media toward embracing social media," said Daniel McCoy, CPB's product manager of media strategies. "This is a resource that we knew that stations would trust coming from CPB and NCME."
In other words, there are a lot of social-media guides out there but none that speak directly to public media's core values. And for many small stations, social media can be a hard sell when the news director is also the morning anchor and the metro reporter.
The handbook includes fill-in-the-blank templates for creating social media campaigns, with sections for goals, staffing, tactics, and measurement. It includes suggestions for a station's "voice" on social media (be human, establish traditions, call for action). It includes case studies conducted over the past year that demonstrate social-media success — KQED's one-day Groupon deal for membership, HoustonPBS's Bon AppeTweet campaign, KPBS Radio's, erm, lively Facebook discussion about its format change.
And it includes a guide for creating policy, as it applies to both personal accounts and work accounts. The guidelines include:
- Make it explicitly known that your posts, thoughts, and opinions are your own, and not the station's…
- You are allowed to identify yourself with your station. However, once you do, all of the content you generate must be consistent with how you would present yourself in any professional situation…
- If you post something related to your station or public media, put in a disclaimer so that people know that it is your opinion…
- Do not post confidential or proprietary station information…
- Use common sense…
NCME is asking for stations to email their social-media policies — anonymously — to serve as examples. In a webinar unveiling the new handbook a few days ago, an informal poll asked participants: "Does your station currently have a social media policy?" Perhaps tellingly, most respondents selected "Sort of."
CPB also launched an interactive benchmarking tool for stations to see how their social media "understanding" compares to that of their peers throughout the system. iStrategy collected comparison data from 500 stations in December 2010.
Researchers also selected 10 stations over a four-week period for a more intensive study to determine what kind of social-media postings generated the most comments, likes, retweets, and replies. The findings appear in the handbook. Questions ("Should sake be served hot or cold?") drove the most engagement, followed by promotion of web (not broadcast) content and links to news, the study found. A separate audience survey found that listeners and viewers who use social media overwhelmingly want local news and events information from stations, with scheduling/programming information in third place.
McCoy said the guide is designed to be shared with everyone at a station to get the most buy-in. "We wanted to attract people that aren't necessarily the social media manager," McCoy said.

Cat Gives Birth to A Dog In Georgia
A cat has given birth to a dog here in Georgia. I am ashamed and can only wish there was any other explanation, but it has all of us scientists baffled. It does seem radiation is responsible for this abomination.
Before getting into the back story here, I do want to state that I have already checked to see if there were any temporary job positions opened with State Wildlife that would allow me to put this monstrosity out of existence. My supervisor here told me no and said there are no federal or even local positions outside of our wildlife office, so there's that. I tried.
The owner of the cat is just as shocked and outraged as everyone else should be. She apparently thought that pure interspecies mingling was to blame, but that has been ruled out as a sole cause. Radiation of some sort is the most likely of initiating events for creating this demented beast and I hope they both die, mother and pup.
It may seem cruel but it is not natural for a cat to give birth to a dog. In the video you see the cat and dog trying to act like everything is fine and normal, as the puppy nurses from the cats feline milks. Then we see them just lay there as if the dog should not be getting taught how to chase and eat a cat, or at least scare up the sinful creature.
These animals are diseased with radiation and once we have the official documentation, I'll draft a letter to my higher-ups at the wildlife commission so we can start efforts to either permanently isolate these animals or even better go ahead and put them down and out of their misery. Here's the video, ensure there are no children around to see this before reviewing it.

If it is radioactive, you should be able to force it into decon procedures and from there both will have to be put down, especially that cat. See if you can find any documents on that and I also have some contacts down there that can be of help so we can go ahead and make sure that cat is exterminated.
It poses too much of a risk to let it just go free when it could be radioactive.
Praise or Condemn: 1 7
You couldn't fail harder at biology if you tried. Same with whoever said that radiation may have played a part in the dog-cat. Radiation doesn't work like you think it does in comics and movies; it isn't magic in some form, if the cat was truly radiated then it more than likely would've died by now and the baby would've been completely malformed. I can't say how this thing came about, but it either was inter-species breeding or something went wrong during the birth and the kitten/puppy thing came out to be huskier than any cat of that age.
Praise or Condemn: 6 2
It is not breeding between a dog and cat. According to the journalists who produced the video, if you watched it, they think it is radiation and are doing tests to rule it out. It seems a stretch, but even if they find a trace of radiation there is no choice but to put that danged cat down and do it is quickly as possible. Even then, if the cat really did give birth to a dog they should go ahead and still put it down and then research and analyze it at a genetic level, then from there to see its bauplan and genetic makeup.
Praise or Condemn: 2 5
No, you're just a sick and disgusting piece of shit that wants to kill the cat anyway, regardless of whatever the outcome is, simply because you hate cats.
Praise or Condemn: 7 1
That comment is not warranted at all and you owe me an apology. I will not dignify this with further response because you have no grounds for your accusations.

Praise or Condemn: 4 2
You're just upset because I called you out on not watching the video, then making your unwarranted claims that I have some sort of agenda against cats. You are a typical left-wing deceiver and liar, a frequenter of MSNBC or perhaps even the durge-saint of lies, Keith Olbermann himself, come to pay witness to truth in its purest form.
Praise or Condemn: 3 4
Oh really? I'm upset that you called me out on not watching the video. Buddy, I DID watch the video, I HEARD them say that radiation may have had something to do with the birth, I'm saying that they're WRONG. Radiation doesn't change a species DNA when it comes to giving birth; if the baby was affected that badly from radiation, then the mother would be as well, and from what I saw, she looks perfectly fine.
As for my 'unwarranted claims' that you have against cats, it's not unwarranted, it's a fact. Every thread that involved cats you've stated that you hate them and wanted to put them down simply for being cats. You're nothing but a typical retard who got too close to a keyboard to spout out bullshit conspiracy theories. You've made alllll those claims and not one damn thing done to prove that you're right.
Praise or Condemn: 1 1
Why do you have to resort to personal attacks. First, you cannot just dismiss the theory that radiation can affect germ cells in such a way to allow a cat and dog to procreate. Next, you are trying to attack my character to further your arguments. I don't hate cats, I just recognize the problem of vermin wandering aimlessly through natural environments. Cats hunt down native populations and cause an unnatural shift in local ecosystems, especially when their population is allowed to boom. So much like rats and mice, and other rodents, it's best just to go ahead and wipe cats out and keep their base population value low. Any stray cats, outside a domestic home for this reason, should be put down.
Praise or Condemn: 1 1
And how the fuck is your entire spiel NOT hating cats? That's like saying you aren't racist when you hate someone based PURELY on their nationality, legal or not. You want cats dead, how is this not hating cats? Because you, as a Christian, said so? Bullshit. You have no righteous character in you, you're just a complete moron and zealot.
Praise or Condemn: 2 1
I have nothing against a cat in the home, but really, there is no use for vermin. It is a standard policy and as an avid environmentalist, I cannnot have cats ruining everything.

Of course, you also try to claim that you're not racist and you're not sexist. Why are you even still alive? You should have killed yourself long ago. I'd be more than happy to take care of it for you.

"Radiation doesn't work like you think it does in comics and movies; it isn't magic in some form,"
You are right that radiation doesn't work like it does in comics and movies.
But radiation may be a form of satanic black magic; a life-destroying occult force. The Nuclear Age was the start of America's downfall. Before that, we were a proud and righteous Christian republic whose military was based on brave young men with rifles, and whose industry was based on coal, steel, and oil.

Let me guess, you're one of those people where anything strange and new is INSTANTLY evil to you, it doesn't matter WHAT it is, if you aren't familiar with it, it can just go straight to hell. You think radiation is black magic? Or was that just a terrible analogy because that's the thing that scares you the most?
//The Nuclear Age was the start of America's downfall. Before that, we were a proud and righteous Christian republic whose military was based on brave young men with rifles, and whose industry was based on coal, steel, and oil.//
What does nuclear energy have ANYTHING to do with the current state of affairs? All it's used for any more is energy, everyone pretty much agreed to not fling around nukes once we dropped the first two. The damage done would just straight-up end the world if countries didn't agree to not use nuclear weaponry. Hell, you might as well say that finding out what lightning was or using electricity was the start of America's downfall.

you do realise it's a perfectly natural part of nature right?

Joe Curranreplied:
Sure, radiation is a part of nature and God's kingdom, but it's still bad. God made this universe. It's up to Man to use its resources, its elements, its bits and pieces in a responsibile manner. Whether something is new or not has little to do with its inherent goodness, or the purpose someone puts it to use.
God created trees. The wood/paper from a tree could be used to make a Ouija board, a Harry Potter book, a porn magazine – or a King James bible, or a house for a poor family in Oklahoma.
Liberals, despite their outward hatred of nuclear power, secretly love it. They want the world to be more irradiated, for they believe it will make Man better in the long run. Mutations fit in with liberal fetish of "diversity", and their worship of the theory of evolution.
Radiation -> Mutation -> Death and Suffering
But thats not how liberals see it. To them, life is an X-Men comic book.
Radiation -> Mutation -> Evolution
It was a bad decision on our government to build and use nuclear weapons in World War II. If they didn't Lend-Lease all that money to Russia, it could have been used to end the war a purely conventional one. Now it's too late. All righteous nations need the necessary evil of nukes, only to defend against nuclear enemies. the deed is done now, and it's no use looking back at how it could have been better.
I didn't say that nuclear science actually started America's downfall. It was one cause out of many, and actually a very minor one compared to other post-1945 devlopments.

And why did you lump Harry Potter and a stupid game together with porn as an example of how it's bad? Because it involves witchcraft? Do you realize you could say the exact same thing about anything that the devil makes available to man with your first bit about trees? You JUST said so yourself, it's not the device, it's the person. Not only that, but the whole idea of magic is NOTHING but fantasy. Is fantasy such a horrible thing that you'll burn it on sight? Nevermind what the characters stand for or what the themes are in Harry Potter? You're just an ignorant asshole that decides he's going to hate something because it's different?
//Liberals, despite their outward hatred of nuclear power, secretly love it. They want the world to be more irradiated, for they believe it will make Man better in the long run. Mutations fit in with liberal fetish of "diversity", and their worship of the theory of evolution.//
Ok, you're just bat shit fucking insane. For one thing, not everyone who's non-Christian is on the other side, I'm a REPUBLICAN and I'm agnostic. Secondly, liberals (and conservatives, both groups that consist of NON-Christians as well) and atheists don't 'worship' the Theory of Evolution or claim it to be their religion, the THEORY of evolution is nothing more than the best guess as to how things came about when not factoring in religion. If something turns out to not fit in with the theory, then it's simply rewritten to take it into account. Unlike the Bible, it's not set in stone, it can be changed when enough evidence is brought about to warrant the change. If a new species is discovered that is closer to humans than the Cro-Magnon, then depending on what time it's best guess that it was around, it'll change to say that we came from that species or that the species in question is related to man in the line-up. If we discover fossils of people that are of the same time but more fitting to humans of today in terms of bone structure, then it may be that there were two separate lines and this newly discovered line was what we're the remnants of. Before you act like you know what the hell you're talking about, take a damn science lesson!

Radiation -> Mutation -> Evolution//
Yeah, you're just retarded, no one thinks like that. Hell, you even agreed with me that no one thinks like that, so how the hell are you trying to pass this off?
//It was a bad decision on our government to build and use nuclear weapons in World War II. If they didn't Lend-Lease all that money to Russia, it could have been used to end the war a purely conventional one. Now it's too late. All righteous nations need the necessary evil of nukes, only to defend against nuclear enemies. the deed is done now, and it's no use looking back at how it could have been better.//
Regardless of whether or not nuking Japan was a good idea, the time has come and gone, we've learned our lesson, and now it's forbidden to use nuclear power as a weapon, and only as an energy source (even countries that didn't agree to the rules still follow them, everyone still has nukes and rather than have WWIII killing off everything, those places are using it for producing energy).
//I didn't say that nuclear science actually started America's downfall. It was one cause out of many, and actually a very minor one compared to other post-1945 devlopments.//
And I quote: //The Nuclear Age was the start of America's downfall.// You can't say that you 'didn't say' this or that when you CLEARLY JUST DID.
Yeah, shut the fuck up you hypocritical asshat. Do some actual research before being all high and mighty. Don't just rely entirely on your damn bible, figure out BOTH sides before you open your mouth about the opposition. Figure out what fantasy is and how it's harmless, figure out what the hell science is, and learn how to NOT contradict yourself.

Sure, radiation is a part of nature and God's kingdom, but it's still bad.
Haha. Therefore, let us develop the technology to snuff out the sun, and all stars! (*)

abe you do realise that you a proof that god wants to kill us right?
god made humans in his imeage. he also made humans m,asters over all animals. that means how you act towards any animals is how god treats humans. you wanna kill animals ergo we can conclude god wants to kill humans
a being who ever wants to kill can't poisbly be a being of love. god is a being of love. ergo your exsistance proves god can't exists.

The woman is lying there is no way a cat can give birth to a dog. They are two different species. Thats like saying a bird gave birth to an elephant….just not possible.
The most likely story is that the cat had a kitten that died and within a few days adopted this puppy as her own. THE END

I cant believe u guys are buying into this. First off, under no circumstance can an interspecies birth take place. But it is physically impossible for a cat to have given birth to a pup even close to how old that maybe 3 week old pup could have been. There may be some unnatural mothering on the cats side, as some species tend to do. but there is no possible way that cat could have given birth and survived. I have worked with animals for the past 6 years and that is beyond anything that is even in the realm of possibility
Praise or Condemn: 2 1
Sadly, yes, interspecies birth can occur. There are zedonks and ligers, and even the lowly mule is the product of such evil. What this represents is the lowest of low and if radiation is involved, especially, we must put these beasts out of their misery.

Notice $$\sqrt{x_1^2+x_2^2+\cdots+x_n^2}=|x_1|\implies x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2+\cdots+x_n^2=|x_1|^2.$$ But $x_1^2=|x_1|^2$, so subtracting gives $x_2^2+x_3^2+\cdots+x_n^2=0$. This is only possible if all but the first component of the vector is zero (can you see why?). Also, $r \vec{e}_1\in S$ for any real $r\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\vec{e}_1$ the unit vector on the $x_1$-axis (check this!), so we may conclude $$S=\{(r,0,0,\dots,0)\in\mathbb{R}^n:r\in\mathbb{R}\}.$$ Can you tell whether or not this is a vector space in its own right?

The Glissando Headjoint® gives flutists an entirely new mode of expression, bringing the instrument closer to the sound of the human voice. It is a telescoping headjoint, with a high performance contemporary cut headjoint sliding inside a carrier tube! Two "wings" extend from the lip plate and comfortably embrace the flutist's cheeks. Moving the flute to the right slides the headjoint from its "home position" (all the way in) and extends the length of the flute. A downward glissando can be made from every note! With the Glissando Headjoint® in its "home position," the flute is a traditional Boehm flute and all repertoire can be played as if a traditional headjoint was in use. The Glissando Headjoint® can be positioned to tune the flute like any other headjoint.
New musical dimensions for the flutist
The Glissando Headjoint® is a radical re-imagining of the flute! The flutist can now be fully expressive in styles that call for a flexible, liquid approach to pitch. Blues, Rock, Jazz, World Music, New Age and creative music of all types are dramatically enhanced with the Glissando Headjoint®. The creative possibilities in old and new music are virtually limitless.
Inspired by the "whammy bar" on the electric guitar and the myriad of musical possibilities such a headjoint could bring, Robert Dick invented the Glissando Headjoint®. Three flutemakers contributed to the evolution of the design; Eva Kingma, Kaspar Baechi and Bickford Brannen. Now, the Glissando Headjoint® is introduced under Robert Dick's own name!
The range that a given note may be glissed is between a major third to a major second, depending on the length of the air column. Short air columns, such as first finger C natural, will gliss the farthest, down to Ab. The longest air column, low B, can be glissed a whole step, down to clear and strong low A. By starting with the slide pulled out all or part of its way, dramatic upward glissandi result from sliding the headjoint back to its "home position."
With a Glissando Headjoint®, the flute becomes two instruments in one. It can be transformed in an instant from a traditional instrument into a totally new flute, in which every note can be made to flow seamlessly into its neighbors. With complete freedom of dynamics and color, the flutist's full expressive range can be achieved with the headjoint in home position or with the slide extended for all or part of its travel.

Assistant Bishops
In Britain Assistant Bishops may be appointed, after retirement as a Diocesan or Suffragan Bishop, to assist the Bishop of the diocese in which they are living. They are addressed by name.
How to Address an Assistant Bishop
In the Anglican Church overseas this title may be given to younger men who after consecration are appointed to assist the Bishop of a large diocese.
The form of address is the same in both cases.
The recommended (social) style of address is as follows:
|Beginning of letter
|Dear Bishop
|End of letter
|Yours sincerely
|The Rt Rev John Smith
|Verbal address
|The Rt Rev John Smith
|Joint invitation*
|The Rt Rev John and Mrs Smith
|Description in conversation
|The Bishop of Blank
|List of Directors or Patrons
|The Rt Rev John Smith
|Place card
|The Rt Rev John Smith
*Note: Traditionally, invitations to a married couple, when sent to their home address, are addressed to the wife alone, with both names being inscribed on the invitation card. It has become increasingly acceptable, however, to address the envelope with both names.

text: CHICAGO — If you read part one of this story, you realize that putting together the ideal equipment mix can be somewhat of a challenge. Two more distributors weigh in on the subject. One of the subjects they address is the need to re-evaluate one's equipment. How often should you do this? Does it matter if you intend to be in the business for a long time?THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR THE RIGHT CROWD"Demographics are what we typically look at; the type of people in the area determines the sizes of the machines," explains Mike Hurrell, Garden State Laundry Systems, Gardena, Calif. "For example, in high Hispanic areas you need larger-capacity front loaders; in college areas, the smaller front loaders are needed."Hurrell says he will look at what the competition is doing, but doesn't necessarily base what he will do on their judgement. "When we check out the competition, it might tell us what we want to do differently. The competition might [lack a certain type of machine]; this would allow the new owner to offer a different mix."When putting together an equipment mix for a new store, he specifically checks to see if the nearby laundries have enough dryers and what size washers are being used. Hurrell likes to maintain a simple washer/dryer ratio: for every 100 pounds of washer capacity, there should be 100-110 pounds of drying capacity.Hurrell is aware of the latest equipment trends, although he's not quite sure why operators still desire top loaders. When asked if top loaders were making a comeback in his area, he replied, "What top loaders?" He says the stores he is building are still getting a few token top loaders. "It still blows my mind [that operators want top loaders]. I guess it's important for some of them to say that they still have a 75-cent wash."In his area, larger washers mean 55- to 75-pound units, and larger dryers mean 45- and 50-pound stacks, as well as 50-pound, single-pocket units. "More owners are going with the larger equipment. Whenever I sell larger washers, it's automatic for the owners to go with more drying capacity."Hurrell believes that poor equipment placement can offset a good equipment mix. "You want to put the machines that you really want people to use in a spot that they can get to easily. You don't want your larger machines in the back. By the same token, you don't want the largest machines up front because people will come in and plop all their stuff in the doorway and then no one can get in the store."You want to get people in and out of the store easily, and have them use the machines you want them to use. There's really no firm layout to do this. It all depends on the store. Some companies have a 'boilerplate' layout and all their stores look the same. We want big machines visible, but not by the doors. If you put the big machines up front, maybe you should set them off to the side a bit so the aisle way is open."Re-evaluating one's equipment mix can be a challenge. "It doesn't happen that frequently. The machines last longer, and the front loaders are more expensive than the top loaders. People may re-evaluate every five years, if that. If their revenue drops, we'll come to the area to see what's changed, what's getting the most play."Owners may find that the 40- and 50-pound machines are doing better than the 20- and 30-pound machines. "We'll go into a store with a lot of top loaders and tell the operators that they need to do something different."If you want to know what customers think about your equipment, a survey might be good, he adds. "The owner should be doing something like this in the first place. Let the customers help out."Hurrell's best piece of advice: "Put the equipment in that fits your area. This gets back to whether you are in a college area or a family area."LONG-TERM OPERATORS NEED TO MAKE ANNUAL CHANGES"There is no such thing as a cookie-cutter store in terms of equipment mix," says Tony Byrne, Western Equipment Co., Albuquerque, N.M. "The demographics are very important to this process, even if it's in a small town. The type of clientele will dictate the mix, such as whether you serve large families vs. seniors in mobile home parks, etc."The competition will have an effect on your equipment mix, he believes. "It depends on what the competition is offering or how directly they compete with you. I would want to offer something the competition doesn't have, some of the same but some different in order to get people to jump to you. People will jump to a new store for other reasons [than equipment mix], but some won't move if the store they use is properly run."One of the "other reasons" mentioned above is comfort. "I own 13 stores. I have noticed that the Hispanic market really likes to feel comfortable in the store. They don't always need the newest equipment; they like a store that is comfortable, clean and attended."The current trends are bigger washers, energy-efficient, high-extract, high-spin machines, he says. "What's popular also is the stacked 45- and 50-pound dryers. They will make a significant difference in the business."Top loaders are still being used in my area. I build a lot of stores and what I see is a decline in the double-load (18- and 25-pound) washers. The customers are bypassing these. From a cost-effective point of view, the smaller front loaders are not as cost effective."Byrne's washer/dryer ratio is simple: one to one or even more. He believes the 45-pound stack dryers will really help. It can be hard, he adds, to convince new investors about the need for enough drying capacity because of the cost factor. "The old formula of two top loaders to a single dryer went out the window long ago."He doesn't believe that equipment placement will negate the value of a good mix, but he says you will get more usage and profit if you have your big machines near the front door.Overcrowding a store can be an issue in some areas. "I have seen stores overcrowded, but it depends on the markets and the rent. You don't see overcrowding in my area, but in Las Vegas, Phoenix and San Diego you might see it because of the high cost of real estate." With higher rent costs, the importance of stack dryers and larger washers grows because they can generate more revenue per square foot, he explains.Byrne says most operators don't examine their equipment mix. "I believe if you are looking long-term in the business, you should almost always replace some equipment annually. Watch for the equipment trends."Costs are affecting the business. People aren't keeping the equipment updated. "I see this with some of the mom-and-pop operations. They live off the store income and don't replace anything until it's too late. Now they must close the store or spend a ton of money re-equipping. It's a recipe for disaster. Ninety percent of them will sell out or go out of business. It's just a matter of when."Byrne offers this final bit of advice: "When you're building a new store, have several mixes of equipment; a minimum number of top loaders or small front loaders, then jump to about 40-pound machines, then 60- to 80-pound washers. You obviously want stack dryers, and the bigger ones at that. Look for high-speed machines with high extracts."To read Part I of this article, click here.

It was announced on Monday, August 11, 2014, that Robin Williams had been found dead in his home in Tiburon, California. He was 63. His death has been classified as a suicide. Robin Williams touched many lives over the years.
Robin Williams began his acting career began with his Mork from Ork character on Happy Days, which was then turned into its own sitcom of Mork and Mindy. Many movies were also in store: Popeye, Dead Poet's Society, Jumanji, and others. He made a switch back to the small screen this past year in The Crazy Ones. He has provided viewers with laughter, tears, passion, and other emotions throughout the years; but, mostly laughter. His humor seemed to come naturally, and without hesitation.
But, behind the humor must have been a very sad man. Reports say that Robin Williams dealt with depression. Depression is common for many people. It is an illness that hides itself, especially since those who deal with it have a tendency to hide when it creeps up on them. Depression is a difficult illness, as it can disguise itself in many ways. According to Kowalski and Westen (2011), "Occasional blue periods are a common response to life events such as the loss of a job, end of a relationship, or death of a loved one, events that can temporarily lower self-esteem. In a depressive disorder, however, the sadness may emerge without a clear trigger, or precipitant; continue longer than one would reasonably expect; or be far more intense than normal sadness, including intense feelings of worthlessness or even delusions," (Psychology, 6th ed., p. 557, Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.). People with high personal standards and high expectations can set their goals too high. When this happens, feelings of worthlessness take over and they may fall into heavy depression. If not treated in an appropriate way, the depressed state can cause people to lose self-esteem, make faulty judgments, and treat themselves in a harsh manner (Theories of Personality, 7th ed., New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.). If these feelings escalate, suicide seems like the only answer. Such a sad result.
Robin Williams had a life filled with acting and second-chances. When filming, "take two" is usually not a problem, when it wasn't right the first time. Suicide does not allow for a second chance. It is final.
2 Corinthians 4: 8-9 says, "We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed," (Good News Bible, 1979, New York, NY: American Bible Society). Robin Williams must have felt terribly alone and unsure of himself to do what he did to end his life. His actions leave the public with a huge void and much sadness. Although the Bible speaks against suicide; that one's death is to be decided by God alone. It is not our place to judge. It is between Robin Williams and God as to what happens to him now. In prayer, may our kind and merciful God help Robin Williams finally find peace.
To quote Robin Williams, "The brightest light has gone out," (http://www.quotesdaddy.com/author/Robin+Williams/5).

Wheatgrass: Is It Worth the Hype?by Toby Amidor in Is It Healthy?, February 22, 2012
Consumers are buying trendy products like acai, mangosteen and coconut water like crazy lately. But many folks forget to do their research to find out if they're going to end up flushing their money down the toilet. Today we're delving into wheatgrass to tell you if this trendy green plant is worth the buzz.
The History of Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass was made popular by Boston's Ann Wigmore, who immigrated to the U.S. from Lithuania. She believed that wheatgrass could cure disease from her interpretation of the Bible and from observing dogs and cats feeding off the plant when they became sick. In the early 1980s Wigmore was sued by the Massachusetts Attorney General over claims that her wheatgrass program could decrease or eliminate the need of insulin for diabetics. Although she later retracted the claim, in 1988 she was sued again for claiming that her "energy enzyme soup" cured AIDS. She was finally ordered to stop claiming that she was licensed to treat disease. In 1993, Wigmore died but her ideas on wheatgrass live on.

Just to forewarn everyone, I may ramble on for a bit here, so I apologize. I cannot help it though, as I never...never thought I'd be posting this.
I'm sure a lot of you were shocked to see me sell off both of my Stabs so fast and without question. Well, this is why, and I do not have an ounce of regret. In all honesty, I was not a fan of these SLE's when they emerged, but after spending some time with Donnie's old copy a few years ago, I became a believer. Fast forward to now. I had sold the Stab that Matthew Mayhem refinished for sizing reasons. I loved what Matt did to it, but it just looked a little off when I wore it. Not long after that, I got the idea in my head that maybe, if I sold my other Stab (and a few other things), I would be able to gather enough funds to grab one of these SLE's. With a little hesitation I put up the Stab that Chris Morgan had worked on and I got pretty lucky and that one couldn't have gone to a better collector than Mike (evilsmellyclown). I really did luck out here, and I have Chris Zephro to thank, big time, for that for giving me some time for the masks to sell. So, going back to what I first said, I truly never thought I would own a K.H. mask. The point where I thought I'd "reached the top" was when I got my first Stab, because I told myself even an SLE K.H. was just financially out of reach. So, obviously, I'm still pretty much in complete shock and awe that this thing is sitting just a few feet from me. It's just surreal.
Well, I think now I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking, but the last thing I will say, is that these are much, MUCH better to see in person. I had mine sitting on my night stand when I went to bed last night and I woke up staring at it and just got this big grin on my face, like I'd woken up on Christmas morning.
