Lent and Old Hobbits
Lent will be upon us soon, and time to repent of our bad hobbits, err habits. One hobbit I will not be repenting of however is the Peter Jackson produced films of the same name. Jackson recently had emergency surgery, so the production schedule is a bit behind, but will begin on March 21 as Lent is underway. All the sites in New Zealand have already been scouted, and it looks like we will see more rather than less familiar faces from the LOTR series in this film as well.

Let Freedom Ring— Even in Egypt
I have spent a good deal of time in Egypt, that most ancient of all countries, and I like the Egyptian people a lot. And if you have been paying attention, we have just had an important moment in history this week, as through moral force, not violence, the Egyptian people have overthrown a much loathed dictator with cries of freedom and democracy. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, there is something in the soul of a human being that cries out for freedom. And we have heard that cry repe … [Read more...]

Parents > Policies
Geashill National School
Communication Policy
Good communication is essential to the smooth running of an efficient school. To this end Geashill National School has in place a policy on communication between the various individuals, groups and organisations connected with the school.
The teachers carry out informal meetings on a daily basis, before school, during school, after school. Written communication is also passed from class to class during the day. A staff meeting is held at the start of each term. The agenda is drawn up by the Principal in consultation with the other teachers. Relevant Circulars from the Department of education and Science are brought to the attention of the teachers.
Teachers communicate with children on an ongoing basis while teaching. However, following prayers in the morning, the principal brings any notices/announcements to the attention of the children. Notices are also written into homework notebooks or posted on the notice board on the corridor.
Board of Management
The Board of Management holds a meeting at least once per term. The agenda is set and notice of the meeting sent to each board member. Minutes are recorded. Communication to the Board is kept by the Secretary and dealt with at every meeting.
Regular contact with parents takes place, informally and formally. Letters to parents are sent out on a regular basis. We have also been communicating with parents using the TextaParent Service since early 2009. The parents can make an appointment to meet with the class teacher or principal at a time that suits all concerned. Parent/Teacher meetings are held once a year.

Care and Feeding
Greyhounds don't have a lot of hair, and this makes for a pet that is easy to care for. A quick brush with a rubber-grooming glove and a rub of the coat with a dry towel makes for a great looking dog. "Scrubbing" the dog's coat with your fingers brings the oil up to the skin and will feel great to the dog.
Bath Time
How often a greyhound gets bathed very much depends on how soiled they get. They have very little oil in their skin, which means very little "doggy odour". Select a mild all natural, conditioning shampoo – oatmeal shampoo is fantastic for dogs with dandruff or dry skin. Unless a greyhound gets particularly dirty it will not need bathing very often - certainly not weekly. Washing too often strips the coat of its natural oils and dries the coat and the skin.
It is advisable to check your greyhounds' ears once a week. Clean the outer ear gently with a baby wipe or damp tissue. When bathing a dog it is also a good idea to plug the ears with a cotton wool ball to avoid shampoo dripping down into the ear.
It is not uncommon for ex-racers to have bad teeth, partly due to the soft diet they are fed when racing. Any deep cleaning is done before adoption, but like humans it is possible for plaque build up to occur after this. Brushing with a specially designed toothbrush or a gauze pad can help stop tartar from occurring. Brisket and raw chicken bones are also good for keeping teeth clean. It is advisable to have your dog's teeth cleaned by your vet on a regular basis.
All the weight of a dog is placed on its feet. Therefore it is vital to regularly attend to trimming a greyhound's toenails. Most greyhounds are used to having this done while they stand. Using good quality clippers; lean over and bend the foot backwards to find the underside of the nail. A vet or a groomer will be only too happy to show the inexperienced or nervous owner how to cut them. Greyhound's nails are often longer than other breeds, but should be trimmed to keep them from getting too long. As a general rule they should be trimmed to keep them just off the ground, but they will still look like they are a little longer than you'd be used to!
FeedingYour greyhound may go off its food for a few days after the adoption. This is usually a result of stress and should pass fairly quickly as the dog settles in to your home. Your dog also may suffer slight diarrhoea as a result of stress, change of diet and change of routine. This is all very normal. Remember that greyhounds are a naturally slim breed of dog and you should be able to see the shadow of the last two to three ribs in a healthy greyhound. While it is fine for a pet greyhound to weigh about 2kgs more than they did while they are racing, an overweight greyhound is not a healthy greyhound.
Clean fresh water should be available at all times. Never leave your dog without water. Many greyhounds also like to wet their feet so a bucket or paddle pool may come in handy.
Complete Foods
All dog food contains a combination of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Each of these plays a specific role in keeping a dog at optimum health, and must be fed in the correct proportion. Protein allows for the growth and maintenance of bones and muscle while fat contributes a concentrated form of energy to the dog, keeping the coat shiny as well. Carbohydrates provide a sustained form of energy to the dog. Energy is needed for respiration, muscular work and temperature control.
Complete foods are often the most effective, economical and efficient way of feeding your dog and ensuring that he gets all the vitamins and minerals he needs. Initially, try to purchase just a small bag as this will save wastage should your dog not like that particular flavour or brand. Follow the feeding instructions on the packaging according to the weight of your dog. Generally complete foods are based on biscuit or cereal; additional tinned food is not necessary but can make a meal more appetising.
Fresh Meat
Most dogs love fresh meat. This can be fed either raw or cooked. Chicken pet mince can be purchased relatively inexpensively from supermarkets, butchers or local pet food shops and when boiled with pasta and vegetables it becomes a much enjoyed food for most greyhounds. Raw chicken carcasses, drumsticks, wings or thighs are also wonderful for helping to keep teeth clean and most greyhounds love them. They can have one or two each day and for an extra special treat try freezing them in the hotter months.
Super premium canned pet food is okay because of the premium ingredients and moisture content. Avoid supermarket branded tin food where possible as due to the greyhound's very efficient metabolism, loose stools tends to be the result. Some dogs cannot tolerate canned food at all and will quickly develop diarrhoea and rapidly lose weight.
Chews in the form of pigs ears or rawhide are excellent for helping to keep teeth clean and healthy. Most greyhounds love smoked pigs ears! Additionally try chicken frames, drumsticks or wings. You can freeze them in summer for an extra cool treat!
Oily fish such as tinned tuna, pilchards, sardines and salmon can be fed once a week. Small amounts of cheese, either crumbled on top of the food or as a lump as a treat is fine.
Feeding with Other Dogs
If you already own another dog, please remember that it is recommended to feed the dogs separately to ensure that they each receive their full meal and that they don't feel threatened by the other dog and as a result try to defend their food against it. If you must feed them together you must supervise the dogs to ensure that a threatening situation doesn't arise. Food is something that dogs will be naturally territorial about and they are likely to defend their meal against another dog so be sure to try to take all measures to avoid such situations.
All greyhounds adopted through Greyhounds As Pets have been sterilised, C5 vaccinated and microchipped. Where required, their teeth have also been cleaned.
Veterinary Information
Heartworms are parasites of dogs which are transmitted by mosquitoes. If an infected mosquito bites your dog, it can pass heartworm larvae (immature worms) into your dog's bloodstream. The larvae develop into adult worms which live in the dog's heart and blood vessels supplying the lungs. After about 6 months, these adults produce more larvae which can infect new mosquitoes and be passed to other dogs.
Over a period of time, the adult worms cause damage to the dog's heart and lungs. This is usually noticed as the dog coughing and getting very tired when exercising.
Heartworm can be fatal. Infected dogs can be detected by a blood test. Treatment of infected dogs is possible but can be expensive and may involve some risk.
If your dog lives in an area where heartworm is present, it is important that you prevent your dog being infected by giving it regular medication. Advocate provides heartworm prevention or you may wish to contact your vet for an annual injection that protects against heartworm.
Intestinal Worms
There are several types of worms which can live in a dog's intestines.
Hookworms can cause severe anaemia and even death in young pups. Adult dogs are much less likely to suffer a serious hookworm infection. Pups may be infected either by eating hookworm eggs or by larvae penetrating through their skin. Hookworm larvae can penetrate human skin causing a rash.
Roundworms can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, lack of appetite, poor growth and a pot belly in puppies. Occasionally severe infections can result in death from intestinal obstruction. In humans (particularly children) infection with roundworm eggs can lead to illness if the larval eggs migrate through the body causing damage to organs such as the liver. Very occasionally, the larva may affect the eyes or nervous system in humans.
Whipworms can cause diarrhoea, weight loss and anaemia in pups. Canine whipworms do not usually infect or cause any harm to humans.
The 'Flea Tapeworm' is the most common tapeworm infecting dogs. Infection of the dog occurs when it swallows a flea which has eaten tapeworm eggs. The Flea Tapeworm does not cause serious illness. The eggs of the tapeworm are passed from the body of the dog in sticky packets which may be seen on the hair around the dog's bottom. The packets look like grains of rice.
Hydatid Tapeworms occur in certain areas of Australia and are more likely to be a problem in rural areas. Dogs which eat meat from infected sheep, goats, cattle, rabbits, pigs or kangaroos become hosts to adult worms and can pass on eggs to humans. In humans, infection with hydatids can cause serious illness. Hydatid prevention requires special worming treatment every 6 weeks.
Other important steps to preventing the spread of worms include washing your hands after handling the dog, cleaning up dog faeces in the yard, controlling fleas on your dog and not feeding uncooked meat to your dog in hydatid areas.
Dogs need to be vaccinated against several infectious diseases. These include Canine Distemper, Canine Hepatitis and Canine Parvovirus. These diseases are often fatal. Treating a dog with one of these diseases is often very expensive and often unsuccessful. Dogs which survive distemper or hepatitis infection may have long term health problems.
Another disease which may be vaccinated against is Canine Cough or Kennel Cough. Despite this, Kennel Cough is like the common cold in humans. There are many different strains of Kennel Cough, just like the cold, and therefore, vaccination cannot prevent it in all forms, however it is still safer to vaccinate against it.
Your dog may come in contact with these infectious diseases by meeting other dogs, or simply by sniffing and walking in areas where an infected dog has been. Any public areas such as parks, footpaths or beaches may be contaminated. Parvovirus is a very tough virus which can survive for months in the environment. It is possible for you to pick up parvovirus on your shoes, for example, and bring the virus back to your home.
ALL dogs should, therefore, be vaccinated, even those which don't have much contact with other dogs. Puppies need a course of injections, and adult dogs need a booster injection every year.Your dog's annual booster vaccination is also an opportunity for your dog to have a full health check up.
Your greyhound has received a C5 Vaccination prior to its adoption.
Dental Care
Puppies have a set of 'baby' teeth which gradually fall out and are replaced by permanent 'adult' teeth. This process is usually complete by the time the pup is about 6 or 7 months old.
Just like humans, dogs need good dental care. When a dog's teeth are not maintained properly, hard crusts of tartar develop on the surfaces of the teeth. Over time, this can lead to bad breath, infected and inflamed gums, pain and decaying, loose teeth. Bacteria from the infected gum tissue can enter the bloodstream and cause damage to organs such as the heart and kidneys. Diseased teeth and gums are common problems amongst pet dogs.
Dogs can be encouraged to keep their teeth and gums in good condition by providing substances for them to chew. Chewing scrapes the teeth and massages the gums.
You may also assist in your dog's dental health by brushing your dog's teeth. It is a good idea to start this as early as possible, so that the dog becomes accustomed to having its mouth and teeth handled. Initially get the dog used to having fingers and the brush in its mouth, then try brushing just briefly. It is usually best to practice this when the dog is quiet and sleepy, not when it is excited. Gradually work up to brushing all the teeth. Remember to reward the dog for having its teeth brushed. Human toothpaste is not suitable for dogs.
During their racing careers, a greyhound's diet is often made up of quite soft meats and biscuits soaked in water so there is little rough or chewy content in their food. If your greyhound's teeth require cleaning, it will be done prior to its adoption. You may need to teach your dog about bones or chewable dry food in order to improve their overall dental care.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh police say a determined 6-year-old girl didn't hurt anyone when she crashed her mother's car while trying to drive across town to visit her father.
Police haven't released the name of the girl, whose mother was reportedly still sleeping when the girl took the woman's car keys about 9 a.m. Sunday.
Police Sgt. Jerry Parker told reporters the little girl is tall for her age, but added: "How she knew how to operate a car, your guess is as good as mine."
Police said the girl hit two parked vehicles, pushing one of them into a third, before hitting a utility pole.
Police and the girl's father arrived to take her home after the accident.
Police are still investigating but haven't said if anyone will face charges.

Winemaker Notes
The color is bright crimson red with a violet hue. The aromas are very bright, showing fresh raspberry, boysenberry and pomegranate fruit, followed by classic "zinny" spice of nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper. The fruit and spice continues on the palate, which is again fresh with hints of blueberry and huckleberry. The texture is round and rich for easy drinking and the tannins add to the lush mouthfeel.

Critical Acclaim

Rustic in the best sense, this has the deep, resinous herb scent that's made Mendocino famous. The tannins lend grit to the palate, along with layers of flavor that fill the mouth completely even as the wine coasts along. Decant a bottle while you marinate a butterflied leg of lamb for the grill. Best Buy.
Juicy, ripe and generous with tangy acidity and gobs of black raspberry; vibrant, fresh and clean with long, zesty fruit. 90% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah.

Artezin Zinfandel is hand crafted from grapes grown in some of California's best Zinfandel regions: Napa Valley, Amador County, Sonoma County and Mendocino County. Artezin expresses terroir and rich varietal fruit with lively and complex elegance.

I seem to think that, during the time that the Catholic faith was
proscribed in Scotland, there was a Scots College in Paris to train
priests. There is a new museum on the outskirts of Aberdeen, on the
site of the former Blairs College, a Catholic seminary which closed
some years ago, and I fancy they would be the best people to contact.
Unfortunately, I do not have a precise address (although I fancy that
"Blairs Museum, Blairs College, Aberdeen" would probably get there).
Their phone number is +44 1224 869424, but they had the answering
machine on when I rang.

Technical assistance and direction for RWJF's Project HealthDesign program
The Foundation's program, Project HealthDesign: Rethinking the Power and Potential of Personal Health Records, was designed to expand a vision of personal health records and encourage the market to develop products that meet the diverse needs of patients. Many observers see personal health records (PHRs) as a potentially "disruptive innovation" that will help consumers gain more control of their health. Today, most PHRs are essentially electronic copies of patient medical records that patients can view online. However, for PHRs to be most effective, they must reflect the needs of the patients who will use them and they must be able to support a wide range of add-on functions and services. This grant provides technical assistance and direction support for Project HealthDesign grantees to: (1) develop patient-centered designs for PHR systems; and (2) develop prototypes of these systems.

Learn the basics about how to secure your trademarks and symbols.
A trademark is any word, phrase, symbol or design, or combination of these things used to identify and distinguish your goods from those manufactured or sold by others. Trademarks also apply to sayings or slogans such as Nike's® "Just Do It"®, and configurations such as book package designs. Trademarks also encompass tradenames (the trademark for a corporate entity) and a service mark (used for services rather than products).
You are not required to register a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in order to be protected because trademark protection automatically commences when you begin using your trademark. However, registration is advisable because it provides procedural advantages if you need to sue someone for infringement.
To protect your name, symbol, device, etc. during the time you are waiting for your trademark to become official, you can file an "intent to use" application with the trademark and patent office. This application will protect you from the date you file it, as long as you eventually register your trademark. The intent to use application is helpful if you expect a long time period between when you choose a trademark and actually begin using it.
The time necessary to obtain a trademark can vary, but expect it to take at least one year.
Once you have a trademark, it lasts as long as the owner of the mark continues to use it; however, the registration for the trademark must be renewed every 10 years. In addition, in the first 10–year period in which you have a trademark, between the fifth and sixth year after the date of initial registration, you must file an affidavit with the patent and trademark office setting forth certain information to keep the registration alive. If no affidavit is filed, the registration is canceled. Trademarks are usually passed on in wills, or carried on through a corporate entity.
You can check to see if a trademark is currently in use by looking in the Thomson & Thomson's Trademark Scan, by accessing the same database through Westlaw — a law–related online service, or on Knight–Ridder's Dialogue Information Service — an online service that provides direct online access to databases including Trademark Scan. Thomson & Thomson can be reached directly at 800–692–8833. Some librarians can also do a trademark scan for you for a fee, or you can do your own search in the Directory of U.S. Trademarks in the library.
State trademark registration is easier and cheaper, but only provides you with protection in that state. The benefit of such a trademark is that in states with strong laws that prohibit trademark counterfeiting, trademark owners can bring state action for infringements.
For trademark information and applications call 703–786–9199 or write to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Washington DC 20231. To have questions answered call 701–308–HELP.

Today, when you mix a prophet, unflattering portrayals of said prophet and a furious debate regarding the responsible exercise of free speech, you get YouTube.
The recent violence in more than two dozen Muslim countries over a low-rent YouTube video clip depicting the Prophet Mohammad as a sex-crazed buffoon has brought Muslims into the streets. Mormons spilled press type into the street when the gentiles blasphemed their prophet.
Those rioting in the Arab Spring states of Tunisia, Libya and Egypt can learn from the LDS experience.
In 1862, as part of a bid for statehood, Brigham Young ran as a candidate for governor of the Utah Territory, the only time he stood for election. Ten thousand votes were cast, and he received all 10,000.
Statehood would have to wait until 1896. But over time, the LDS faithful became yet another part of the American tapestry, and have learned to tolerate opposing views while still being inspired by the central place of faith.
This pattern was not new. Our founding settlers (Pilgrims, Separatists, Quakers and Puritans) came to the New World as dissenters from state religions in England and Holland. But almost immediately they imposed orthodoxy and no real separation between church and state.
It fell to Roger Williams and others in what would become Providence, R.I., to embrace open speech and protest. And as the colonies became united, free speech ideas spread, and later became enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution.
A key to the spread of free speech values, including in the Utah Territory, was integration into a broader context, in this instance, the emerging United States. As Americans became more entangled, they demanded more freedoms, in part to pursue the economic benefits of pluralism.
Which brings us to the unfolding events in the Muslim world. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Ennahda in Tunisia the emergent Islamic parties in the Arab Spring states cannot place Islam at the center of political life and at the same time declare their religion (depictions of the Prophet Mohammad) off-limits to parody.
Whereas religion claims a monopoly on truth, politics is about give and take. Islamic republics don't work. Exhibit A: Iran. Instead, the Arab Spring countries must embrace a modern pluralism, much like Turkey has, that includes relatively free expression and some separation of church and state.
Americans should support pluralism in the Muslim world. We believe the only cure for bad speech is more speech, and not violence. This means we should rightfully condemn the content of the YouTube video as valueless expression, and equally condemn the murderous violence that followed.
We stand as an example of the huge benefits to be derived from being a free and open society.
What we shouldn't do is compromise our own values. Certain Muslims should be challenged on their belief that the Prophet Mohammad cannot be depicted under any circumstances, and certainly on the belief of Salafis that such depictions warrant violence. And Google should not have censored the video in certain Muslim countries.
Early American settlers and pioneer Mormons, groups founded on religious principles, learned to tolerate free speech on the road to modernism; 21st Century Muslims must do the same.

Cork Free Presbyterian Church, 10 Briarscourt (Annex) Shanakiel, Cork, Ireland Pastor: Colin Maxwell. Email:email@example.com
It has sometimes been said that Spurgeon's Calvinism waned as he grew older. This page will refute this bogus claim. It is not so much that his Calvinism waned, but it did not become the main battle ground on which he fought in later years. His last years were taken up with the famous Downgrade controversy where he was busy defending the fundamentals of the gospel e.g. the Inspiration of Scripture and the Deity of Christ etc., rather than the Doctrines of Grace. Many Wesleyans were glad to stand with him in his matter. However he did maintain his belief in the Calvinist cause right to the end and the quotes below are given from his sermons etc., all drawn from the last few years of his life. He died in January 31st 1892. He preached his last sermon in the Metropolitan Tabernacle on June 7th 1891, (No. 2208) This appears in Volume 37 (37:398) A great excess of Spurgeon's sermons enabled the MTP to be published until 1917. No less than 62 volumes were eventually published. It would take too long to trace from the sermons printed after Spurgeon's death any references he made to Calvinism in his last years. We may rest content from the evidence below that he never wavered, but maintained these glorious old doctrines right to the end.
Volume 35 was preached in 1889, Volume 36 was preached in 1890, Volume 37 was preached in 1891
"We may preach to you for a thousand years together, and never a soul of you will receive Christ, unless the same Spirit that spake light into the primeval dark shall say, "Let there be light." Salvation is a supernatural process. God himself must come upon the scene before the eyes of a man born blind will see. How this truth exalts God and lowers man! Yes; and the lower we are brought, the better. When we get to feel our utter helplessness, then will our extremity prove to be the opportunity of the grace of God. O heavenly light, shine now into the soul of all who hear or read this sermon!
This light is a revealing light. Whenever the light of the glory of Christ comes streaming into the heart, it reveals the hidden things of darkness. When the glory of Christ is seen, then we sec our own shame and sinfulness. Did it need God himself to redeem us? then we must have been in dire bondage. Did it need that the incarnate God should die? then sin must be exceeding sinful, That is a deep pit which needs that God should come from heaven to lift us out of it. We never see the impotence and depravity of human nature so well as in the light of the glory of Christ; but when he is seen as undertaking this tremendous work, and as putting his almighty shoulder to it, then we clearly perceive what help man needed, and how great was his fall. What a revelation it is when the light shines into the secret chambers of imagery, and the idol gods are made manifest in all their hideousness! May God send this light to many, that their ruin, their doom, their remedy, and their way of obtaining it, may be plainly perceived." (35:229)
"The power to grasp Christ does not lie in our nature in its own strength or goodness. Our state is that of death, and death cannot grasp life. God the Holy Spirit must breathe life into us before we can rise from the grave of our natural depravity, and lay hold upon Christ, who is our life. It is not in unrenewed human nature even to see the kingdom of God, much less to enter it. "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God." (35:378)
"The Lord also may most truly and profitably come to a man, and in His coming may unveil to him the depravity of his nature. If any man could see his own heart as it is by nature, he would be driven mad: the sight of our disease is not to be borne unless we also see the remedy. When the Lord permits the fountains of the great deep of our depravity to be broken up, then are the tops of the hills of our self-sufficiency drowned in fear. When we see what we are capable of being, apart from divine grace, our spirit sinks. When believers are allowed to see how much there is still about them that is akin to hell, when sin becomes exceeding sinful, and we feel that the taint of it has defiled our whole nature, then it is that we are horrified and appalled. What an abyss of evil is within our bosoms! Probably some of you know very little about it. I pray that you may never discover it by its painful results; but I desire that you may believe it, so as to take a firmer grip upon the doctrines of grace, and exercise greater watchfulness over your hearts. Sin which dwelleth in us is no enemy that we can safely despise. Even in one single member of our fallen nature, namely, the tongue, there dwells a world iniquity: "It defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell." What poor creatures we are! The best of men are men at the best; and, apart from the work of the Holy Spirit, and the power of divine grace, hell itself does not contain greater monsters of iniquity than you and I might become. Within the magazine of our hearts there is powder enough to destroy us in an instant, if omnipotent grace did not prevent. When this is distinctly perceived, we are troubled before the presence of the thrice holy God."(35:523)
"Sin stupefies and kills. Where it reigns, the man is utterly insensible to spiritual truth, feeling, and action; he is dead to everything that is holy in the sight of God. He may have keen moral perceptions, but he has no spiritual feelings. Men differ widely as to their moral qualities; all men are not alike bad, especially when measured in reference to their fellow-men; some may even be excellent and praiseworthy, viewed from that standpoint. But to spiritual things all men are alike dead. Look at the multitude of our hearers; to what purpose do we preach to them? You may declare the wrath of God against the godless, but what do they care? You may speak of Jesus' love to the lost; how little it affects them! Sin is not horrible, and salvation is not precious, to them. They may not controvert your teaching; but they have no sensible apprehension of truth: it does not come home to them as a matter of any consequence… Sin has slain them. I see them mingled with this great congregation like corpses sitting upright among the living. I look out upon the masses of this vast city and upon the innumerable hosts of populous countries, and I see a measureless cemetery, a dread domain of death; a region without life…One point must be noticed here, which makes this spiritual death the more terrible: they are dead, but yet responsible. If men were literally dead, then they were incapable of sin; but the kind of death of which we speak involves a responsibility none the less, but all the greater. If I say of a man that he is such a liar that he cannot speak the truth, do you therefore think him blameless? No; but you judge him to be all the more worthy of condemnation because he has lost the very sense which discerns between a truth and a lie. If we say of a certain man, as we have had to do, "He is a rogue ingrained; he is so tricky that he cannot deal honestly, but must always be cheating"; do you therefore excuse his fraud, and pity him? Far from it. His inability is not physical, but moral inability, and is the consequence of his own persistence in evil. The law is as much binding upon the morally incapable as upon the most sanctified in nature. If, through a man's own perversity, he wills to reject good and love evil, the blame is with himself. He is said to be dead in sin, not in the sense that he is irresponsible, but in the sense that he is so evil that he will not keep the law of God…O sinners, dead in sin, you are not so dead as thereby to be free from the guilt of breaking God's command, and rejecting Christ; but you heap upon yourselves mountains of guilt every day that you abide in this condition." (35:581-582)
"I say, then, that while grace gives us the gospel to believe, grace also gives us to believe the gospel. We are personally to believe the gospel, and so only can we be saved. But if I came before you to-night, and had nothing further to say than "Believe the gospel, and you shall be saved," the message would add to your solemn responsibility, and yet it would not save you; for you would not believe, but would continue in your sins. Man left to himself is an unbeliever, and an unbeliever he will remain. To meet the deep depravity of our nature, and its settled unbelief, he who gave the gospel to be believed, also gives the faith that believes the gospel. This is a wonder of grace; but then in the realm of grace everything is wonderful. We are so set on mischief, so proud, so vain-glorious, so unbelieving, that we never do come to receive the gospel, except through the operation of the grace of God upon our consciences and wills. The faith which comes to God first came from God… My believing, when they did not believe, did not spring from any betterness of nature on my part. God forbid that I should dream such a thing! It did not spring from any natural excellence of my will." (36:246-247)
"God, in a renewed manner, speaks to us by his Word when his Spirit applies it to us individually. We never truly hear the voice of God in Scripture until the truth is spoken home to each heart and conscience by the Holy Ghost. Revelation must be revealed to each one; other wise it soon comes to be a veiling of truth, rather than a discovering of the Lord's mind. The revelation is clear enough in itself; but we have not the opened eye till grace bestows it. If we have not the Spirit of God, the letter may actually become a veil to hide the spirit of truth; this, indeed, it should not be, neither is it according to its natural intent and tendency; but our depravity makes it so, turning even light itself into a thing which blinds." (37:35)
"In the infinite sovereignty of God he passed by the fallen angels, but he chose to raise fallen man. Those who cavil at the doctrine of election should answer this question: Why is it that God has left devils without hope, and yet has sent his Son to redeem mankind? Is not divine sovereignty manifested here?We can give no answer to the question, What is man that God thus visits him with distinguishing grace? save this — "He will have mercy on whom he will have mercy, and he will have compassion on whom he will have compassion." Intending, therefore, no forgiveness to this evil spirit, the Lord put no questions to him." (36:654)
"Our Saviour did not hesitate to preach the deeper doctrines of the gospel to the most miscellaneous assembly. When he began to preach where he was brought up, they all gathered with admiration about him, until he preached the doctrine of election; and then, straightway, they were so maddened that they would have destroyed him. They could not bear to hear of the widows of Israel passed by, and the woman of Sarepta chosen; nor of a heathen leper healed, while the many lepers of their own race were left to die. Election seems to heat the blood and fire the wrath of many. Not that they care to be chosen of God themselves; but, like the dog in the manger, they would keep other people out of the privilege. Not even to prevent these displays of bad temper did our Lord keep back the discriminating truths of the Word." (35:867)
"Now, also, our Lord's work was done. We are sure that the purpose of his love is secure, or he would not have returned to his rest. The love that brought him here would have kept him here if all things necessary for our salvation had not been finished. Our Lord Jesus is no sudden enthusiast, who rashly commences an enterprise of which he wearies before it is accomplished. He does not give up a work which he has once undertaken. Because he said, "I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do," and then ascended to the Father, I feel safe in asserting that all that was required of the Lord Christ for the overthrow of the powers of darkness is performed and endured: all that is needed for the salvation of his redeemed is fully done. Whatever was the design of Christ's death, it will be accomplished to the full; for had he not secured its accomplishment he would not have gone back. I do not believe in a defeated and disappointed Saviour, nor in a divine sacrifice which fails to effect its purpose. I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide but fatally ineffectual. I rejoice to hear my Lord say, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me." Whatever was the purpose of the Christ of God in the great transaction of the cross, it must be fully effected: to conceive a failure, even of a partial kind, is scarcely reverent. Jesus has seen to it that in no point shall his work be frustrated. Nothing is left undone of all his covenanted engagements. "It is finished" is a description of every item of the divine labour; and, therefore, has he ascended on high. There are no dropped stitches in the robe of Christ. I say again, the love that brought our Lord here would have kept him here if he had not been absolutely sure that all his work and warfare for our salvation had been accomplished to the full." (36:307)
"If I profess to defend the doctrines of grace, and yet am not assured of the truth of them, is not that a lie?If I have never felt my depravity; if I have never been effectually called, never known my election of God, never rested in the redeeming blood, and have never been renewed by the Spirit, is not my defence of the doctrines of grace a lie?" (35:679)
"I remember, when I believed in Christ, and took him to be my trust, and was saved: I believed, and thus I entered into life and peace. It was not till some time after that I saw the reason why I had believed. I said to myself, "How is it that I have believed in Christ, while others who have attended the same gospel ministry, and have enjoyed the same advantages, have not believed in him?" The enquiry was not, "Why did they refuse to believe?" I saw at once that their unbelief was their own fault and folly, and that the blame must be laid at their door, for they wilfully refused the Saviour; but this was not the question: I was not judging them, but I was examining myself, and enquiring why I had believed in the Lord Jesus. I saw that if I had believed, it was not to be set down to my personal credit. I could not take to myself any honour because of it. My believing, when they did not believe, did not spring from any betterness of nature on my part. God forbid that I should dream such a thing! It did not spring from any natural excellence of my will. There was a submissive will in me; but a something from above made that will submissive, and that something lay at the back of everything. Then I understood that it was God's grace that had made me to differ; and I gave to God, there and then, the glory of my faith, and the credit of my choice of Christ. I have never met with any Christian man, whatever his doctrinal views, but he has been willing to give to God the glory of his conversion. He has ascribed it to the working of the Holy Spirit, and not to himself; and he has joined with me in praising God for it. Though the brother may cavil at the doctrine of distinguishing grace in the cross, yet, in his own case in particular, he has been willing to confess that not only did grace give him a gospel to believe, but grace gave him to believe the gospel. We come; but God draws. We come to God because he draws us. We came to believe in Christ because his Spirit enlightened and persuaded us, and brought us into the happy state of salvation by faith in Christ." (36:246-247)
"I do not know in what other way to preach from this text than the one in which I am preaching from it.Somebody says, "Oh, that is Calvinism!" I do not care what it is. It is Scriptural. I have this inspired Book before me, and I cannot see any meaning in the words before me, if they do not mean that those who have received life from the Lord Jesus have an endless inheritance. I cannot make them mean anything else. "I give unto my sheep eternal life," must mean that believers are eternally secure. "It is dangerous doctrine," cries one. I have not found it dangerous, and I have tried it these many years." (Sermon entitled: Eternal Security or Sheep who shall never perish (35:876)
"This is our great reliance for the future upholding of the church as a whole, and of each individual believer: the Spirit of God dwelleth with us, and shall be in us. The church of God will never be destroyed; the gates of hell shall not prevail against her; for the Holy Ghost dwelleth with us, and shall be in us to the end of the world. This is the reliance of the child of God personally for his perseverance in grace. He knows that Jesus lives, and therefore he shall live; and the Holy Spirit is within him, as the life of Christ, which can never die. The believer pushes on, despite a thousand obstacles, knowing that God gives him the victory, through the Lord Jesus Christ, out of whose hand none can pluck him." (35:187)
"A Scotch minister tells the story of an aged saint who, on her dying bed, said that her Savior would never leave her to perish. "But suppose that he did not keep his promise, and you were to be lost?" She answered, "He would be a greater loser than I." When asked what she meant, she answered, "It is true that I would lose my soul; but God would lose his honour and his glory if he were not true." Brethren, if we have trusted in God, and have come out of the Egypt of the world through his grace, and have left all its sins behind us, if we were left to die in the wilderness, the Lord Jesus Christ would lose his glory as a Saviour, the divine Father would lose his name for immutable faithfulness, and the Holy Ghost would lose his honour for perseverance in completing every work which he undertakes. The Lord God of Israel will never stain his glory, wherefore be ye confident that he who brought you out of Egypt will bring you into Canaan. How I delight in that verse which we sang just now —
"My name from the palms of his hands eternity will not erase/ Impress'd on his heart it remains in marks of indelible grace/ Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is given/ More happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heaven."
"The doctrines of grace are the cream which many cautious preachers skim from the milk of the Word lest it should prove too rich for the stomachs of their hearers.A solid portion of Calvinistic doctrine is like a joint of nourishing meat, and the people of this generation are such babes that they cannot digest it. It is too rich for me!" cries one. I know it, I know it. But I pray the Lord to make you grow into men, who can enjoy the fat things full of marrow, and the wines on the lees well refined. There are glorious truths of which beginners know nothing, and through not knowing of them they miss much joy. Full many a child of God goes fretting and worrying when he ought to be singing and rejoicing, and would be so if he knew what God has provided for him." (35:366)
"There is not another gospel that I know of that is worth the comparison for a single minute. Oh, but, they say, there is a gospel that is much wider than yours. Yes, I know that it is much wider than mine; but to what does it lead? They say that what is nicknamed Calvinism has a very narrow door. There is a word in Scripture about a strait gate and a narrow way; and therefore I am not alarmed by the accusation. But then there are rich pastures when you enter within, and this renders it worth while to enter in by the strait gate. Certain other systems have very wide doors; but they lead you into small privileges, and those of a precarious tenure. I hear certain invitations which might run as follows: — Come ye disconsolate; but if you come, you will be disconsolate still, for there will be no eternal made sure to you, and you must preserve your own souls, or perish after all. But I shall not enter into any comparisons, for they are odious in this case." (37:60)
"It is well for the preacher to remind men that they are lost by nature, and that in their flesh there dwelleth no good thing. It is well that sin should be made to appear sin, and that self righteousness should be made to look like filthy rags. Human inability and the need of the Holy Spirit, must be set forth clearly, and the sovereignty of God must be proclaimed solemnly. The Lord has a right to pass over whom he pleases; but if mercy comes to any man it will be by the sovereign act of God — because God wills to do it, and not because any man deserves it." (36:191)
"The doctrines of grace which I have preached to you have a hold upon the heart and intellect,like that of certain colours when the wool is dyed ingrain. Because these doctrines have not been sufficiently preached, our people are easily carried away with every wind of doctrine, Brethren, the old evangelical doctrine of Luther and Calvin had about it power to create enthusiasm. See how the Huguenots mustered to a sermon when it was death to hear a reformed preacher. Geneva sent forth men who could gather crowds in regions crimsoned with the blood of their brethren. Why did the multitudes come together? Would any man jeopardize his life to hear a "modern-thought" sermon? My brethren, there is something in the old gospel worth hearing: there is an election of grace most precious, a redemption which really redeemed, and a work of grace within which ensures final perseverance and eternal glory." (35:773)
High doctrine is glorious doctrine, high experience is blessed experience, high holiness is heavenly living. Many souls always keep in the plains: the simple elements are enough for them; and, thank God, they are enough for salvation and for comfort. But if you want the richest delight and the highest degree of grace, climb the hills and roam among the mysteries of God, the sublimer revelations of his divine will. Especially climb into the doctrines of grace: be not afraid of electing love, of special redemption, of the covenant, and all that is contained in it. Be not afraid to climb high, for if thy feet be dipped in the oil of grace, they shall also be so shod that they shall not slip. Trust in God, and you shall be as Mount Zion, which can never be removed. Your shoes shall be iron and brass, for lofty thought and clear knowledge, if you commit your mind to the instruction of the Lord. Receiving nothing except as you find it in the Word, but in a childlike spirit receiving everything that you find there, you shall stand upon your high places. Your feet shall be like hinds' feet, and your place of abode shall be above the mists and clouds of earth's wretched atmosphere of doubt. (35:9)

Paramore's Hayley Williams Talks Wango Tango, Possible Hair Color Change
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
Hayley Williams and Paramore are the latest to join the lineup for this year's Wango Tango.
"We're really psyched about it," Hayley tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest, "and we are taking a little time off so it'll be one of our first proper shows back of the summer."
The announcement comes after the band recently perform on their Parahoy cruise, where they spent four days at sea performing for fans. "We played two shows and the other bands on the cruise played three shows each … and all the people there… a lot of them we grew up playing shows for when we were like 16, so it was like a family reunion."
When it comes to Wango Tango, the spunky singer may be switching up her signature orange hair color.
"I'm actually letting it fade right now because I want to think on this for awhile," Hayley explains. "I'm not sure [if] it's going to be orange!"

Nothing is more relaxing than a nice, hot bath or shower, complete with lots of lather and bubbles. So we spoke with Sue Jonas, VP of product innovation for Crabtree & Evelyn, about how the best suds are made. What she told us made us want to grab our rubber duckies and jump in!
LN: How did you get into the field?
SJ: I've been in product development my whole life. I once had a small company that worked with herbs, home fragrance and potpourri, which was sold to Crabtree & Evelyn in 1980. I came on with them and have and been with them ever since, working with fragrances and evaluation. I love the products! They really help you enjoy every moment of your day.
LN: What is it like working for the company?
SJ: I work with the lab to develop new formulations. We're in the process of launching a new line, the Floral Fragrance Collection, which is a revisit of fragrances that have been in lineup since the company started 40 years ago. We looked at fragrances and decided which ones needed to be revamped. It's the first time our lavender fragrance has changed in 40 years.
Right now it's very exciting working at Crabtree & Evelyn because we're taking it to a whole new level. We're making ourselves more appealing to younger consumers and helping a new generation discover our products. We're working with beautiful formulations, trying to make the products more benefit-rich. They're really healthy, so there are no parabens, mineral oil, no propylene glycol. We're also adding benefits from the natural oils, coconut oil and wheat germ oil.
LN: So how has the lavender changed?
SJ: Before it was more masculine smelling, and the packaging is so feminine that I wanted to lighten it and make it more appropriate for 2011. We use a great lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, which is produced in France, as the heart of the fragrance. We also include some lemon blossom and lemon leaf, with some light florals around it to take the edge off. Then we added tonka bean and musk. It's very wearable, easy and clean smelling—so uplifting and cheering. I've been living with it for the past few months, and I just love it.
LN: What are some things people should look for in a good soap?
SJ: It depends whether you're looking for a bar that's fragrant for your body or if you're looking for your face. We mostly emphasize bringing fine skincare bars for body use. We make these bars very pure: All of our soaps are triple milled, so they're going to last a long time. All the air is pushed out and triple amalgamated, so it lasts about twice as long as other soaps that don't go through this process. We do a lot of tests, wetting and drying the bars to make sure they don't crack. Another thing to look for is the quality of the ingredients. All of Crabtree & Evelyn's soaps are vegetable based and we try to use sustainable oils.
LN: What are some things you should stay away from?
SJ: I go by brand, because I'm looking for somebody I can trust. Look for products made with well refined, high quality oils. There are a lot of products that use rancid or low quality oils that are drying for the skin and they cover it up with the fragrance.
LN: Are there any benefits of bar soaps that you won't find in liquid soaps or vice versa?
SJ: Taking a shower or bath with a bar is such an indulgence, it goes beyond a gel. Gel is great for fragrance, but bars give you the opportunity to love and lather on your skin and they're very good for you. They avoid what I call chemical soup. Bar soap is traditional, and has been made for thousands of years. We're using old, old technology. These bars are crafted with beautiful colors and shapes, and the way they sit in your hand—it's an aesthetic experience.

Deion Sanders fired from charter school after confrontation
Former Dallas Cowboys player Deion Sanders has been fired from the charter school that he helped found.
Sanders was dismissed from his role as head football coach and part-time school operator of Prime Time Prep Academy after a confrontation with a fellow school employee.
Kevin Jefferson, an administrator of finance at the school, told Dallas Police that Sanders attacked him, grabbed him by the collar and shoved him against a wall. Sanders admits to the confrontation but denies injuring him.
In a series of tweets, Sanders claimed he was upset over the welfare of the school's students.

Larger debt debate looms on the Hill
WASHINGTON The $33 billion or more that lawmakers want to cut from the federal budget to avoid a partial government shutdown is but a small down payment on what could be much bigger cuts to come.
Even as the White House and congressional leaders work to finalize their latest deal, a bipartisan group of senators is seeking to cut $4 trillion from federal deficits over the next decade — 120 times more than the amount being sought to avert a shutdown.
Their efforts represent the most serious assault on federal deficits since a 1997 deal between President Clinton and a Republican Congress led to four years of surpluses. Since then, a decade of tax cuts, wars and recessions have sent the nation deeper and deeper into debt.
Beginning this week in the House, Congress will attempt to reverse that trend. The effort faces opposition from conservative groups opposed to higher taxes and liberal groups seeking to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. But a coalition of business leaders, budget experts and former government officials is pushing for bold action on the national debt this year.
Three debates on deck
Late last month, 64 senators signed a letter to President Obama urging that he support deficit-reduction talks. Last week, budget watchdogs tried to get the same number of former government officials and experts to sign a similar letter. They exceeded expectations when the number quickly grew to 69.
"Not only is momentum building, it's really starting to feel unstoppable," says Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which led the latest letter-writing effort. "I don't think we have until after the election to wait."
As the White House and lawmakers search for cuts from within one-eighth of the 2011 budget devoted to annually funded domestic programs, three broader debates loom over the budget, which includes entitlement programs, defense spending and soaring interest costs:
•The 2012 budget. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., plans to release a Republican budget plan for 2012 on Tuesday that will attempt to rein in government entitlement programs. Ryan's "Roadmap for America's Future" features dramatic changes that could boost Medicare costs and reduce Social Security benefits for Americans now under 55.
•The federal debt limit. The government's $14.3 trillion debt limit will be reached this month or in May, forcing Congress to raise it or risk the country defaulting on its obligations. Defaulting would be unprecedented, but many Republicans such as freshman Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida say they won't support more debt without a commitment to major cuts in spending.
•A long-term debt-reduction plan. The best chance for bipartisan action on the debt could come later this year if a group of six senators working in private produces a plan to cut $4 trillion over the next decade that both Democrats and Republicans can support. Led by Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., the group is trying to turn the December call for spending cuts and tax increases from Obama's commission into legislation.
Fueling the bipartisan talks: fear of the economic crisis that would result if the soaring U.S. debt caused international investors to sour on Treasury bonds. On Tuesday, dozens of senators will hear from Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart, whose recent paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research warns of future crises.
"This time really is different," Warner says. "There is a sense in the country that we are on as thin ice as any time in my lifetime."
Still, moving consensus from a group of six senators to majorities in the Senate and House appears unlikely, particularly with the 2012 elections approaching and groups on the right and left working against compromise.
On the right, anti-tax advocates such as Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, say they'll hold Republicans such as Chambliss to previous pledges against raising taxes.
"Right now, these people are having impure thoughts about tax increases. They haven't actually voted for one," Norquist says.
Tea Party activists want to prevent Republicans from compromising on a deficit-reduction package including higher taxes.
"Somebody here has to be the conscience of the conservatives," says Dick Armey, a former House GOP leader who now heads the anti-tax group FreedomWorks.
On the left, groups representing seniors and the poor are fighting reductions in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
"One thing you can say about seniors is they vote," warns Edward Coyle, head of the Alliance for Retired Americans.
Robert Greenstein, executive director of the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, says billions of dollars in Medicaid cuts in Ryan's plan would "start to ration health care by income."
Cuts and increases redefined
To get around the opposition, those favoring major deficit reduction are trying to change the terms of the debate. Chambliss says "tax increases, pure and simple" won't pass the Senate — but he views eliminating special-interest tax breaks as "a spending issue. It's a tax expenditure."
Former Republican senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming, who co-chaired Obama's fiscal panel, says: "You don't use the word 'cut' in Social Security. You use the words 'restoring solvency.' "
The wildcard in the deficit talks is the White House. Obama has vowed to act upon some commission recommendations, including corporate tax changes But his proposed 2012 budget had few specific proposals.
Many experts say major action on the deficits and debt may have to await a market-induced crisis.
"The markets, in my view, will force our hand," says Steve Bell, senior director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a veteran of congressional budgets. "We only respond to crises that are palpable."

Nimen hao!
Happy New Year!, enjoy da party and I hope you'll have a good one. 2011 was an interesting car-year and no doubt 2012 will even be better.
The 'western-calender' new year isn't much of a party here in China, no firework and all (at least not in Beijing), for the big one we have to wait for the celebration of Chinese New Year in late January. Still, there is enough beer and champagne in town…
On pic a Tianjin-Xiali with a Cadillac logo on the c-pillar, to show that we all got to keep dreaming.
See you soon,

If you have a router with adjustable antennas, I have a tip that can help you improve your wi-fi signal. Actually, this tip is from Alf Watt. He created the popular iStumbler Wi-Fi utility and is a former Apple Wi-Fi engineer. According to Alf (reminds me of the old ALF TV show), it's best to point one antenna straight up and have the other antenna parallel to the ground.
According to Alf, the perpendicular placement is best because radio reception is maximized when both client and access point have matched polarization (antennas pointing along the same plane). Some client devices have antennas in vertical orientation, some horizontal. For instance, the current line of MacBook have their antennas in the black plastic part of the hinge in a horizontal orientation. By pointing antennas vertically and horizontally, you'll maximize radio reception no matter which way your device's antenna is oriented.
I actually have three antennas on one of my routers. I wonder how I should point the third antenna. I'm guessing it should be pointed at a 45 degrees angle. Anyone know the answer?

Transcript: The Biggest Threat What you see behind me is the Loess Hills and a classic example of the Loess Hills. The ridgetops that are prairie covered there and of course they don't have houses on them. We think it's a real value. Now if you move this direction, you'll see an example of how cities grow. And typically how cities grow...unfortunately, as we grow in a way that we consider to be sprawl, we take up more and more land. We put the houses on the most valuable places -- the most valuable scenic views. I think that's a real threat to the hills. Certainly, there are many exotic species such as leafy spurge and sumac that are threats to the prairie, but for the landscapes themselves, I think that urban sprawl is the biggest threat.

The USC Trojans, who opened the season ranked No. 1 in the AP poll, showed why many consider them the best team in the country with a 49-10 thrashing of Hawaii. Here's how it all went down at the Coliseum.
It was over when: Matt Barkley, Marqise Lee and Robert Woods all decided they'd get out of bed this morning. Barkley and Lee hooked up for a 75-yard touchdown on USC's first offensive play and the Trojans never looked back.
Game ball goes to: Take your pick among that trio. But we'll go with Lee and his 10 catches for 190 yards and a touchdown. He also added a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
Unsung hero: Making his USC debut, running back Silas Redd, a transfer from Penn State, carried nine times for 57 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-2.
Unsung hero, take 2: USC linebacker Hayes Pullard was beastly. On top of his hard hits, he also had a pick-six late in the first quarter.
Heisman watch: Barkley entered the season as the front-runner and didn't disappoint. He missed on a couple of balls and there were some drops. But overall a pretty good night: 24-of-39, 351 yards and four touchdowns.
What it means: Probably not much at this point. Most people expected USC would cruise against Hawaii. It wasn't as clean as it could have been. There were some dropped balls and Redd did lose a fumble, so there are some negative plays the Trojans can go back and scrutinize. But USC didn't stub its toe, nor did the Trojans give the people who voted them No. 1 any reason to doubt their selection.

saline solution n.
A solution of any salt, usually an isotonic sodium chloride solution. Also called salt solution.
This was injected with eight quarts of the saline solution at ten degrees.
The more concentrated a saline solution, the greater its electrical energy.
When the surgeon had dressed the stump, he made a slight incision in the forearm in order to inject a saline solution.
I suggested many remedies, such as washing it with saline solution and bandaging with oakum and so on.
It has been supposed by some that a saline solution proves Purgative or Diuretic according to the degree of its dilution only.
With the addition of a small amount of saline solution, the tissue dissolved into thin, pink suspension.
On the contrary, by plunging the red-hot shells in the saline solution the greatest uniformity is attained.
This object may be attained by steeping the fabric in almost any saline solution.
Four pints of saline solution were infused into the median basilic vein, and 1/30 grain strychnine sulph.
In like manner take up seven more equal volumes of saline solution and their following air bubbles.

The latest version of Android was unveiled at Google's I/O developers conference today, after the customary Android statue went up at Google HQ. Version 4.1 Jelly Bean builds on the overhaul that was Ice Cream Sandwich, and adds the Google Now feature, which predicts what information you want before you even search for it. Gulp.
Here's the full rundown of what we can expect to see in Jelly Bean phones.
Better text input – On the keyboard, predictive text guesses what word you intend to type out next – like the downloadable keyboard SwiftKey – while voice typing now works without an internet connection.
Easier navigation – Gesture Mode will let you operate your Jelly Bean device with gestures, likely with different movements depending on the number of fingers used.
Faster camera gallery – Just pinch on a photo to view a filmstrip of recent snaps.
Killer search UI – Search in the Google widget and your top result will come up as a minimalist white card. Swiping them away reveals the standard list of links.
Beefier NFC – The Android Beam app can now link two NFC devices and send video files as well as photos and webpages. Plus, NFC-enabled Bluetooth devices can be paired simply by tapping.
More comprehensive notifications – Tap on a missed call alert to return the call, and view emails here too.
Project Butter – In general, Jelly Bean amps up the speed and smoothness of Ice Cream Sandwich, via the so-called Project Butter, which ups the interface frame rate and buffering to tighten overall processing.
Google Now – Here's the biggie that links together all those Google services you probably use – YouTube, Maps, Search, Calendar etc. Google will corral your past behaviour in these apps to predict what information you want at a particular time. Tapping the Google search widget or swiping from the bottom of the screen automatically brings up a list of results suggested by Google Now – and it's anything from scores for your football team to a traffic report based on your usual morning route. It sounds huge and we can't wait to test this one out.
Jelly Bean will roll out as an over-the-air (OTA) update in mid-July for Google's 'pure Android' phones, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Google Nexus S, as well as the Motorola Xoom, the first tablet to launch with Android 3.0 Honeycomb. If you're a developer, you can grab the Jelly Bean SDK right now.

Video of the new Coral Restoration Project on Boracay
In August the dive pros of Boracay Island were invited to learn about and take part in a new coral reef restoration project organized by the Philippines Department of Science & Technology. We jumped at the chance to learn from the science team on their 5th project of coral transplantation.
I went along to help out, plus get some footage to share so more people can understand the issues and see rehabilitation techniques being developed to respond to degradation. The training covered finding suitable 'corals of opportunity' (which are fragments laying loose and unattached), plus two different transplantation techniques using both nursery frames and direct attachment with epoxy clay.
Take a look at the short video I made to learn more.
