Doesn't hurt kids' eyes.

Best Uses
Comments about California Baby 1011463 1011463 California Baby No Fragrance Sunscreen Lotion SPF30:
We use this on our kids' faces and hands because it's the only kids' sunscreen we've found (out of at least a dozen) that doesn't bother their eyes when they inevitably get it in there. It's expensive though, so we use other kids' sunscreen on the rest of their bodies.

Great Product
By MamaJ
from San Diego, CA
We spend A LOT of time outside, so we need a quality, clean sunscreen. This is just thick enough and has a great skin-feel after it dries (maybe ~2 minutes, tops) It works and isn't a chemical-laden barrier -- done and done.

Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt
Dynasties of Ancient Egypt |
The Eleventh Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notated Dynasty XI) was one group of rulers, whose earlier members are grouped with the four preceding dynasties to form the First Intermediate Period, while the later members are considered part of the Middle Kingdom. They all ruled from Thebes.
The known rulers are as follows:
Pharaoh | Horus-name | Reign | Burial | Consort(s) | Comments |
Mentuhotep I | 2134 BC – ? | Neferu I | Tepy-a "the ancestor" | ||
Intef I | Sehertawy | ? – 2118 BC | El-Tarif, Thebes | Son of Mentuhotep I | |
Intef II | Wahankh | 2118 – 2069 BC | El-Tarif, Thebes | Brother of Intef I | |
Intef III | Nakhtnebtepnefer | 2069 – 2061 BC | El-Tarif, Thebes | Iah (queen) | Son of Intef II |
Mentuhotep II | Nebhetepre | 2061 – 2010 BC | Deir el-Bahari | Tem Neferu II Ashayet Henhenet Kawit Kemsit Sadeh |
Son of Intef III and Iah |
Mentuhotep III | Sankhkare | 2010 – 1998 BC | Son of Mentuhotep II and Tem | ||
Mentuhotep IV | Nebtawyre | 1998 – 1991 BC | Son of Queen Imi |
Manetho's statement that Dynasty XI consisted of 16 kings, who reigned for 43 years is contradicted by contemporary inscriptions and the evidence of the Turin King List, whose combined testimony establishes that this kingdom consisted of seven kings who ruled for a total of 143 years.[1] However, his testimony that this dynasty was based at Thebes is verified by the contemporary evidence. It was during this dynasty that all of ancient Egypt was united under the Middle Kingdom.
This dynasty traces its origins to a nomarch of Thebes, "Intef the Great, son of Iku", who is mentioned in a number of contemporary inscriptions. However, his immediate successor Mentuhotep I is considered the first king of this dynasty.
An inscription carved during the reign of Wahankh Intef II shows that he was the first of this dynasty to claim to rule over the whole of Egypt, a claim which brought the Thebeans into conflict with the rulers of Herakleopolis Magna, Dynasty X. Intef undertook several campaigns northwards, and captured the important nome of Abydos.
Warfare continued intermittently between the Thebean and Heracleapolitan dynasts until the fourteenth regnal year of Nebhetepra Mentuhotep II, when the Herakleopolitans were defeated, and this dynasty could begin to consolidate their rule. The rulers of Dynasty XI reasserted Egypt's influence over her neighbors in Africa and the Near East. Mentuhotep II sent renewed expeditions to Phoenicia to obtain cedar. Sankhkara Mentuhotep III sent an expedition from Coptos south to the land of Punt.
The reign of its last king, and thus the end of this dynasty, is something of a mystery. Contemporary records refer to "seven empty years" following the death of Mentuhotep III, which correspond to the reign of Nebtawyra Mentuhotep IV. Modern scholars identify his vizier Amenemhat with Amenemhat I, the first king of Dynasty XII, as part of a theory that Amenemhat became king as part of a palace coup. The only certain details of Mentuhotep's reign was that two remarkable omens were witnessed at the quarry of Wadi Hammamat by the vizier Amenemhat.

All the rumours, news, leaks, screenshots, artwork and info on valve's highly anticipated – though as yet unconfirmed – first person shooter
Half Life 3 rumours: Trailer, news, release date and screenshots
Sony PS4Half Life has a fanbase and level of consistent critical acclaim that would have most games companies can only dream of. The franchise began in 1998 with Valvle's original Half Life, a PC shooter which was also ported to the Playstation. The sequel Half Life 2 landed in 2004 after a protracted development phase. It was followed by a couple of add-on packs – Episode One and Episode Two. An anticipated third instalment, rumoured to be set in the Antarctic, never materialises. The huge popularity of all titles – and since the games industry is hardly shy of producing sequels, certainly when games have been as uber-successful as this – has meant speculation is rife as to a sequel. Though no official word has come from Valve as yet, there have been some rumblings… Half Life 3: RumoursValve head-honcho Gabe Newell has confirmed in an interview in mid-November 2012 that the firm is working on a new game engine Speaking to assembled questioners from 4chan.org, who had gathered to wish him a happy 50th birthday, Newell said: "We've been working on new engine stuff for a while," before adding: "We're just waiting for a game to roll it out with". Unfortunately, he didn't go so far as to name Half-Life 3, but it certainly got everyone thinking about it. At Gamescom in August 2012, T3 discovered what looked like evidence of it's existence – when Half Life 3 was listed in a PDF from the games show's website, which lists all the titles that will be announced at the conference. Alas no announcement appeared, however it did serve to spark further speculation that the title is at some stage of the production process, even if Valve hadn't announced as such. Half Life 3: Open WorldOne of the strongest rumours to date pointing to it's existence sprang from a French games site, which claims an anonymous source confirmed that not only is Half Life 3 in development, but it will have some RPG elements, and even been more of an open world affair akin to Skyrim. According to the same source, the game has had something of a stop-and-start development history so far, with the focus shifting a number of times. Half Life 3: Release DateThe same French source mentions 'after 2013' as a realistic launch date. This certainly seems likely, considering there has been no preliminary announcement as yet. Half life 3: ScreenshotsBack in June, a number of what might be concept imagery for Half Life 3 emerged from another anonymous source. While it's possible they are leftover scraps from previous games, it has been pointed out that certain details imply a post Half life: Episode 2 story line. Below are a couple of select pics from the Valve Time Facebook page, which you can view in full here. Half life 3: TrailerNothing official has emerged yet, however there is a wealth of fan art that has cropped up alluding to either Half Life 2: Episode 3 or Half Life 3 – as well as a number of trailers of a some particularly keen followers of the franchise have put together – such as this: We will of course bring you all the official images and videos as they break. |

I'd love to write a post about how difficult times bring out the best in Fall Riverites, but I have no evidence for that. I have evidence that my neighbor dumped a small mountain of snow on my as of yet unshoveled sidewalk, the other day. A prince among men, he is.
I'd love to say that those who are out and about today are proceeding with caution, patience and courtesy. But I'd be lying.
I really don't know how to grade the city on snow removal. I would say that the city's idea of "main thoroughfare" and mine differ, however. I have no real idea what resources Fall River can bring to bear in snow removal, though. I'm guessing that it doesn't take much to qualify as a private snowplowing contractor. Skill doesn't appear to be one of those qualifications.
I'm not painting them all with the same brush, but when four pickup trucks come down a street that has been already plowed, each following exactly the same path as the other and therefore moving an almost immeasurably small amount of snow, I have to wonder. They're driving around, piling up those billable hours, but they're not plowing snow.
Whether it's anyone's fault or not, the city is a mess. I'd like to go out to see where the plows are, but it's not worth it. I do know of many spots that need another pass, to clear the slush, which will be ice in a few hours. For all the hoopla and hype, this appears to be something like an average Fall River effort at snow removal.
And average is okay, I guess. The hoopla and hype I can live without – it just needlessly raises expectations. The facts on the ground seem to indicate that you just shouldn't drive around the city right now unless you have to.
I did just spend 24 hours in a nearby suburb. The streets are fine. You wouldn't know there had been anything but a normal snowfall there. I guess they just have fewer roads, but I know they have higher taxes – they're using big plows on big trucks – and they've been actually moving snow as they drive around.
Yup - like a broken record – but that's why I'm not griping about the city's snow removal too much. We don't pay, so we don't play. Just the same ol' story.
Maybe that's why people here are so nasty, selfish and un-neighborly. We don't deserve any better, because we don't think we do.
Last night, just after dark, in that suburb, we happened upon a young dog that had gotten loose. He was a bit confused, finding himself on a major through street. We stopped to grab the dog, holding up the progress of two motorists behind us. They waited for us to secure the wiggly dog and pull our car over. They just waited, because the dog was running loose along a road that was hemmed in by snowbanks on a cold night and needed some assistance to get back home. Which was a mission we accomplished, by the way.
No one honked or screamed obscenities at us while they waited. They just waited, while we helped a neighbor's dog, and therefore the neighbor. Same would happen in Fall River, right?
You believe that, right? Well, my girlfriend just got stuck on a badly-plowed street in Fall River and had a somewhat different experience. And a quick survey of my Facebook news feed bears that out, as well.
Fall River is different. Somewhere along the line, Fall River became a jerk magnet. Maybe it has been that way my whole life and I just haven't noticed. But I have lived in a few different places – I was in Naples, Florida for Hurricane Wilma, and in Maine for a lot of weather events – Maine has one weather event after another, for stretches. It's different in those places. It's not like Fall River.
I do try to be positive, when I can be. This isn't one of those times.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
DENVER — The Denver Broncos will continue a long history of honoring veterans and active duty members of the military with their annual Salute to Service game on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers (2:25 p.m. MST kickoff) at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
USAA and OtterBox, which are serving as Sunday's Salute to Service presenting sponsors, will provide wristbands and Orange Rally Towels, respectively, for the first 35,000 fans that enter the stadium.
Sunday's pregame show will provide an "America" theme with performances by the Broncos Cheerleaders, 600 Junior Cheerleaders, the Stampede Drum Line, Mile High Tumblers and the Thunderstorm Skydivers.
The Broncos are also asking all fans to arrive early and join in the singing of the National Anthem. Immediately following the National Anthem, the VFC-13 Fighting Saints from the Naval Air Station in Fallon, Nev. (home of the TOPGUN Fighter Pilot Training School) will perform a flyover at 1,000 feet above the stadium.
The coin used during the coin toss in Sunday's game is a Military Challenge Coin, traditionally used in the Armed Forces to recognize achievement and performance, was created by USAA specifically for the Salute to Service game. Joining Broncos captains for Sunday's coin toss will be two members of the Wounded Warrior Transition Unit as well as Major General Joseph Anderson, Commanding General of the 4th Infantry Division and Ft. Carson.
Leading the Broncos out of the tunnel on Sunday will be 25 soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson Army Base. Earlier this week, Broncos players, cheerleaders, alumni and Miles the Mascot visited Fort Carson and met with over 2,000 members of the 4th I.D. and experienced a day in the life of a Soldier at the base.
When the Broncos take the field during Sunday's game, insignias of all branches of the U.S. Military will be represented on their helmets as selected by each individual player.
Throughout the game, special military guests will be honored and recognized during the USAA Salute to Service Moments and as Broncos Country Heroes.
Sunday's halftime show is presented by OtterBox and will salute the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Wounded Warriors. All groups will be presented with a game ball on behalf of the Denver Broncos by defensive end Ben Garland, a member of the club's practice squad and a 1st Lieutenant in the Colorado Air National Guard. Halftime will also include special musical tributes and a message from U.S. Troops in Afghanistan.

Spray Foam Insulation
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an insulation innovation that provides superior performance and advanced energy efficiency. It's so effective that thinner applications can rival and exceed the performance of traditional insulation products.
Combining two liquid components at installation creates cellular spray foam that expands and fully adheres to surfaces. The spray foam offers superior insulating properties and effective air isolation. Spray foam insulation requires an ignition or thermal barrier after installation to comply with International Building Code requirements. All fire protective requirements detailed within Section 2603.4 of the IBC are mandatory.
No matter what climate you are building in or the level of performance required, Johns Manville has a complete line of spray foam insulation to help improve the energy efficiency, performance and comfort of a structure.

The Dark Knight Shooting in Colorado
I'm sure this will spark many debates about gun control. Gun control is an issue I have always found to be a non-political one made political by the major parties and lobbyists. As I see it, it is a means of regulation that helps stabilize an industry in full swing but it cannot prevent an insane act of violence nor, I believe, is it intended to.
Take driving automobiles. We regulate it heavily and for good reason. Cars are two and three ton death machines whizzing down the highways at top speeds. We make sure that before someone can drive that someone must first study the rules of the road and take a test. After a provisional period, they are allowed to drive on their own. Even then, we regulate the roads by telling people how fast they can drive, which road they can turn on ("One Way," "Do Not Enter," etc) and what maneuvers they can make ("No U-Turns," "No Stopping," etc). None of this prevents deadly accidents from occurring every day but it does help make a potentially uncontrollable situation better.
But imagine if it were political and every time there was an accident big enough to make the news, one side said, "We need longer testing periods, more speed restrictions." Would that really stop someone intent on going 90 from doing so? Doubtless. But it's still a good idea to keep the original checks in place. Or how about the other side saying, "See! Your driving tests and speed limits don't work! Get rid of them now!" This would be even stupider. Who could possibly be so moronic as to believe that because an awful, deadly car accident happens that driving laws and regulations are useless?
Obviously, wanting to strengthen gun control is a natural reaction to a tragedy such as this and I believe most gun controls in place are effective means of regulation, just as they are in driving. Wanting to get rid of gun control in reaction to an event like this ("because this proves it doesn't work!") seems beyond unintelligible, it's ludicrous for the same reasons getting rid of driving laws in the wake of an accident are.
But beyond that, there is the loss of life of human beings taking part in the communal, shared experience of the movie theater. That's something I've been deeply connected to my whole life. A movie theater is a place where ordinary people become citizens of the world, sitting together in the dark, exploring life through images on a screen. They become family. They laugh together and gasp together, and in the case of a movie that stinks, they jeer together. Seeing a movie in a theater, a good one or a bad one, is a sacred experience for millions of people every year. Hell, every day. Seeing it violated like this is horrifying.
I cannot imagine the loss felt by the friends and families of those wonderful people who traveled to the theater to sit together in the dark and feel the excitement of a new experience. It breaks my heart and my sincere condolences go out to each and every one of them and my hopes for the speediest and healthiest possible recovery of those wounded but still alive.

I keep thinking about how everybody in that theater was excited to be there, and had been looking forward to this movie for months. They were at a midnight screening, after all. It's just all so disgusting.

Does anyone know how the shooter got in there? Did he buy a ticket and was in the audience the whole time, or did he come in through the Exit door? I still don't understand.

Bill, that's what I was saying to Ken on Twitter (you may have seen it). Seeing a movie like this is like STAR WARS or HARRY POTTER, it's an experience that for many is more important than the movie. And it's got tons of fans from little kids to adults, all expecting a wonderful time at the movies. How horrible.

Tom, I believe he came in through an exit door when the film was already going. I'm following the news on it online as it develops.

Greg, thanks for voicing what so many of us are thinking. It's so horrible. My daughter lives and teaches near this suburb in Colorado; she is waiting to hear if some of her students or friends of her spouse will show up. We talked and she voiced the same horror and outrage, then said, "Imagine what horrific pain that man must have been going thru, to have such a poisoned mind, to lose his humanity like that." You're so right that the theater is a sacred space for many of us; when the lights dim and the film starts, I always think "here comes magic"...how horrid for these excited fans. We all recognize how short life is, and you never know what day might be your last. While we're here, let's embrace the good, including the many messages of love, hope, forgiveness and promise that the movies so often give us.

James Holmes was able to get into the theater through an exit door. Which in turn suggests that theaters may need to review the mechanics of those doors so they can only be opened from inside the theater, and are secured during showtime.
As far as guns go, there is, to me, no reason why a civilian would own an assault rifle and 6000 rounds. As for the 2nd Amendment, we have an armed militia called the National Guard.
And someone should bitchslap Louie Gohmert, congressman from Texass. The idea that someone with a handgun could defend themselves in a dark movie theater against a guy wearing kevlar and a face mask defies logic.
I'd feel safer going hunting with Dick Cheney.
With regards from that southern Denver suburb, Littleton. - July 21, 2012 at 11:21 AM

James Holmes bought a ticket for the screening. Then, after he got into the theater he went out the exit door, propping it open, went to his car to get his weapons, and came back in through the propped exit door.

It's horrifying and tragic beyond words. I share all your sentiments, and like you think of all the people (children included) who go out to smile and be entertained, and then fall prey to a psychopath. Yes the gun control issue comes into the forefront again, as well it should.

A very different view to the one we take over here, 'across the pond' in the UK. It may be a knee-jerk response to hear of incidents such as this one and think that easy availability of guns equates to widespread ownership of guns equates to high probability of gun deaths, but there is a lot of truth in it. The policy on guns in the USA boggles our minds.
- July 23, 2012 at 8:30 AM
- Greg F. said...
Thanks for your comments, everyone.
John, it boggles my mind on this side that there is so much furious fighting over the issue instead of a search for a common solution, including re-evaluating all policies. - July 23, 2012 at 12:38 PM

Holy water
This article needs attention from an expert in Religion, Catholicism or Christianity. (March 2013) |
Holy water is water that has been blessed by a member of a clergy or religious figure.
The use for cleansing prior to a baptism and spiritual cleansing is common among several religions, from Christianity to Sikhism. The use of holy water as a sacramental for protection against evil is common among Anglicans and Roman Catholics.[1][2]
In Christianity[edit]
In Catholicism, Anglicanism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, and some other churches, holy water is water that has been sanctified by a priest for the purpose of baptism; the blessing of persons, places, and objects; or as a means of repelling evil.[3][4]
The use of holy water in the earliest days of Christianity is attested to only in somewhat later documents. The Apostolic constitutions which go back to about the year 400, attribute to the precept of using holy water to Apostle Matthew. Hence the first historical testimony goes back to the fifth century. However, it is plausible that, in the earliest Christian times, water was used for expiatory and purificatory purposes, in a way analogous to its employment under the Jewish Law. Yet, in many cases, the water used for the Sacrament of Baptism was flowing water, sea or river water, and it could not receive the same blessing as that contained in the baptisteries.[5]
Use and storage[edit]
Holy water is used as a sacramental in the baptismal ceremony.[6]
Holy water is kept in the font, which is typically located at the entrance to the church (or sometimes in a separate room or building called a baptistery); its location at the entrance serves as a reminder of the centrality of baptism as the primary rite of initiation into the Christian faith. Smaller vessels, called stoups, are usually placed at the entrances of the church. In recent years, with the concerns over influenza, new holy water machines that work like an automatic soap dispenser have become popular.[7]
In the Middle Ages the power of holy water was considered so great fonts had locked covers to prevent the theft of holy water for unauthorized magic practices: the Constitutions of Archbishop Edmund Rich (1236) prescribe that "Fonts are to be kept under lock and key, because of witchcraft (sortilegia). Similarly the chrism and sacred oil are kept locked up.".[8]
Proper disposal[edit]
In Catholicism, holy water, as well as water used during the washing of the priest's hands at mass, is not allowed to be disposed of in regular plumbing. Roman Catholic churches will usually have a special basin (a Sacrarium) that leads directly into the ground for the purpose of proper disposal. A hinged lid is kept over the holy water basin to distinguish it from a regular sink basin, which is often just beside it. Items that contain holy water are separated, drained of the holy water, and then washed in a regular manner in the adjacent sink.[9]
Holy water fonts have been identified as a potential source of bacterial and viral infection. In the late 19th century, bacteriologists found staphylococci, streptococci, coli bacilli, Loeffler's bacillus, and other bacteria in samples of holy water taken from a church in Sassari, Italy.[10] More recently, in a study performed in 1995, thirteen samples were taken when a burn patient acquired a bacterial infection after exposure to holy water. The samples in that study were shown to have a "wide range of bacterial species," some of which could cause infection in humans.[11] During the swine flu epidemic of 2009, Bishop John Steinbock of Fresno, California recommended that "holy water should not be in the fonts" due to fear of spreading infections.[12] Also in response to the swine flu, an automatic, motion-detecting holy water dispenser was invented and installed in an Italian church in 2009.[13]
Christian traditions[edit]
As a reminder of baptism, Catholics dip their fingers in the holy water and make the sign of the cross when entering the church. The liturgy may begin on Sundays with the Rite of Blessing and Sprinkling Holy Water, in which holy water is sprinkled upon the congregation; this is called aspersion, from the Latin, asperges ("to sprinkle"). This ceremony dates back to the ninth century. An aspergill or aspergillum is a brush or branch used to sprinkle the water. An aspersorium is the vessel which holds the holy water and into which the aspergillum is dipped, though elaborate Ottonian examples are known as situlae. Blessed salt may be added to the water "where it is customary."
Asperges is the name given to the rite of sprinkling a congregation with holy water. The name comes from the first word in the 9th verse of Psalm 51 in the Latin translation, the Vulgate, which is sung during the Traditional form of the rite, except during Eastertide.[14]
This use of holy water and making a sign of the cross when entering a church reflects a renewal of baptism, a cleansing of venial sin, as well as providing protection against evil.[15] It is sometimes accompanied by the following prayer:[16]
"By this Holy water and by your Precious Blood, wash away all my sins O Lord".
Some Catholics believe that water from specific shrines such as the Lourdes Spring are means by which God chooses to bring healing. This water, technically, is not holy water in the same sense as traditional holy water since it has not been consecrated by a priest or bishop.[17]
Protection against evil[edit]
Catholic saints have written about the power of holy water as a force that repels evil. Saint Teresa of Avila, a Doctor of the Church who reported visions of Jesus and Mary, was a strong believer in the power of holy water and wrote that she used it with success to repel evil and temptations.[18] She wrote:
I know by frequent experience that there is nothing which puts the devils to flight like Holy water.[19]
In Holy Water and Its Significance for Catholics Henry Theiler states that in addition to being a strong force in repelling evil, holy water has the twofold benefit of providing grace for both body and soul.[20]
The new Rituale Romanum excludes the exorcism prayer on the water. Exorcized salt used to be added to the holy Water as well. Priests can now use the older form if they wish according to Summorum Pontificum, an apostolic letter by Pope Benedict XVI.[21]
Eastern Christians[edit]
Among Eastern Orthodox and Eastern-Rite Catholic Christians, holy water is used frequently in rites of blessing and exorcism, and the water for baptism is always sanctified with a special blessing.
There are two rites for blessing holy water: the Great Blessing of Waters which is held on the Feast of Theophany, and the Lesser Blessing of Waters which is conducted according to need during the rest of the year. Both forms are based upon the Rite of Baptism. Certain feast days call for the blessing of Holy Water as part of their liturgical observance.
Although Eastern Orthodox do not normally bless themselves with holy water upon entering a church like Catholics do, a quantity of holy water is typically kept in a font placed in the narthex (entrance) of the church, where it is available for anyone who would like to take some of it home with them.
Often, when objects are blessed in the church (such as the palms on Palm Sunday, Icons or sacred vessels) the blessing is completed by a triple sprinkling with holy water using the words, "This (name of item) is blessed by the sprinkling of this holy water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
Throughout the centuries, there have been many springs of water that have been believed by members of the Orthodox Church to be miraculous. Some still flow to this day, such as the one at Pochaev Lavra in Ukraine, and the Life-Giving Spring of the Theotokos in Constantinople (commemorated on Bright Friday).
Holy water is not a term used in Church of England rites, although font water is sanctified in the Church of England baptism rite.[22] In contrast, the Episcopal Church (United States) does expressly mention the optional use of holy water in some recent liturgies of blessing.[23] More generally, the use of water within High Church Anglicanism or Anglo-Catholicism adheres closely to Roman Catholic practice. In many such Anglican churches baptismal water is used for the asperges.[24] Stoups with sanctified water are sometimes found near the doors of High Church Anglican churches for the faithful to use in making the sign of the cross upon entering the church.
Methodists and Lutherans[edit]
The use of holy water within Methodism and some synods of Lutheranism is for the baptism of infants and new members of the church. The water is believed to be blessed by God, as it is used in a sacrament. The water is applied to the forehead of the laity being baptised and the clergyperson performs the sign of the cross. Lutherans tend to have holy water fonts at the entrance of the church. However, in the Lutheran church, the water is typically not distinguished as being "holy".
Other religions[edit]

In Ancient Greek religion, a holy water called chernips (Greek: χέρνιψ) was created when a torch from a religious shrine was extinguished in it. In Greek religion, purifying people and locations with water was part of the process of distinguishing the sacred from the profane.[25]
In Jewish law, the Torah mentions using holy water in a test for the purity of a wife accused of marital infidelity. A ritual would be performed involving the drinking of holy water. If she participated in the ritual, and she was guilty, she is supposedly cursed to miscarry any pregnancy. If she is still able to bear children, then she is presumed innocent.[26]
Sikhs use the Punjabi term amrita (ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ) for the holy water used in the baptism ceremony known as Amrit Sanskar or Amrit Chhakhna.[27]
In Wicca and other ceremonial magic traditions, although the term holy water is not normally used, a similar substance is produced when salt is mixed with water. It is consecrated and used in many religious ceremonies and rituals.[citation needed]
Bathing in holy water is a key element in Hinduism and the Ganges is considered the holiest Hindu river.[28]
Although the term holy water is not used, the idea of "blessed water" is used among Buddhists. Water is put into a new pot and kept near a Paritrana ceremony, a blessing for protection. Thai 'Lustral water' can be created in a ceremony in which the burning and extinction of a candle above the water represents the elements of earth, fire, and air.[29] This water is later given to the people to be kept in their home. Not only water but also oil and strings are blessed in this ceremony. Most Chinese Buddhists typically recite various mantras (typically that of Avalokitesvara for example) numerous times over a glass of water, consuming the blessed water afterwards. Bumpa, a ritual object, is one of the Ashtamangala, used for storing sacred water sometimes, symbolizing wisdom and long life in Vajrayana Buddhism.[30][31]
The drinking of "healing water" (āb-i shifā) is a practice in various denominations of Shi'a Islam.[32] In the tradition of the Twelver Shi'a, many dissolve the dust of sacred locations such as Karbala (khāk-i shifa) and Najaf and drink the water (āb-i shifā) as a cure for illness, both spiritual and physical.[32] The Ismaili tradition involves the practice of drinking water blessed by the Imam of the time. This water is taken in the name of the Imam and has a deep spiritual significance. This is evident from the names used to designate the water, including light (nūr) and ambrosia (amṛt, amī, amīras, amījal). This practice is recorded from the 13th and 14th centuries and continues to the present day. The ceremony is known as ghat-pat in South Asia.[32]
Unofficial uses[edit]
Holy water has also been believed to ward off or act as a weapon against mythical evil creatures, such as vampires. In eastern Europe, one harboring this belief might sprinkle holy water onto the corpse of a suspected vampire in order to destroy it or render it inert.[33][34] Thereafter, the concept proliferated into fiction about such creatures.

Brisk weather better than some presidents got
The Daily Briefing
Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatch public affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
Your Right to Know
President Obama took the ceremonial oath of office for four more years on a chilly day under overcast skies.
Temperatures hovered around 40 degrees in Washington yesterday. That was much warmer than during his 2009 inauguration and far better than in 1985, when it was so frigid that Ronald Reagan's second-term inauguration was moved inside. Or 1977, when Jimmy Carter took the oath in one of the coldest winters in years. The Potomac River was partially frozen, and people ice-skated on the Reflecting Pool.
Rotten weather at his 1841 inauguration caused or aggravated William Henry Harrison's pneumonia. He died after serving only 31 days.
In 1961, John F. Kennedy took the oath without a hat or overcoat in sub-freezing temperatures after an 8-inch snowstorm.

Zubin Mehta's music an instrument of peace and harmony in Srinagar
By Santwana Bhattacharya | ENS - NEW DELHI
Published: 07th September 2013 07:59 AM
Last Updated: 07th September 2013 07:59 AM
Music as an instrument of peace and harmony - that's what Zubin Mehta wishes to get across when he will be conducting the Bavarian State Orchestra in the picturesque Shalimar Bagh gardens overlooking the Dal Lake in Srinagar on Saturday.
But with separatists in Kashmir playing notes of disharmony in the background, the world renowned maestro was left fending queries in New Delhi on why he selected such a venue. "I didn't choose Kashmir, Kashmir chose me," he said. Mehta was attending the award function at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Friday.
"He has made it his mission to bring hope and reason whenever there is conflict and discord. To audience across the world, Zubin Mehta has brought a message of optimism and conviction about the shared destiny of humankind," the President said, while handing Mehta the Second Tagore Award for Culture Harmony, quite evidently trying to convince those opposing the concert.
Mehta - the India-born conductor, who had dared to play in Sarajevo in the midst of the Bosnian war, said that he had nothing to say to the separatists opposing his 'Ehsaas-e-Kashmir' concert. "We are playing our music for the people and for their inner peace," he said, carefully adding, 'I'm extremely happy' about performing in Kashmir. "I hope and wish for the blessings of the people and the country for our music."
Mehta has been trying to bring the "healing touch" of music to the strife-torn Valley for a while now. Those in the know say, about six years ago he had approached an Indian private sponsor to organise a symphony orchestra in Srinagar. It fizzled out after the state government gave a a rather lukewarm response to the idea.
Mehta still did not give up hope. He again revived the plan with the German Ambassador to India, Michael Steiner, who took up his proposal in right earnest and persuaded the Union Home Ministry to agree to the concert. After months and many round of chasing, the proposal was finally cleared and the security apparatus was brought in the loop. In fact, sources in the Ministry said the audience - a large part being flown there - is being provided unprecedented security cover. To bring Kashmiri flavour to the concert, Mehta will be playing a piece by composer Abhay Rustum. The concert of the "distinguished son of India" as the President described him, will be aired live by Doordarshan. The separatists though are organising a parallel concert in an attempt to drown out the sounds of the 'Ehsaas-e-Kashmir' concert.

I have great respect for Zubin Mehta, but going to Kashmir at the behest of the Corrupt Indians, and giving a performance is like 'throwing Salt to the wounds of Kashmiris'. All of humanity loves Music and that is a different issue. Yes Zubin can perform in Kashmir, that is when the Kashmiri people call you to. But Mehta is going there at the behest of Indians, who dont respect the lives and peace of Kashmiris. Be it BJP or Congress, they are all the same when it comes to Kashmiris. Havent Kashmiris suffered enough under the Corrupt Indians? I am a Tamil and sympathise for freedom with my Kashmiri brothers and sisters. As Arundhati Roy said, Kashmiri should go free. They have suffered enough. Zubin please dont go and hurt the feelings of Kashmiris. You will be legitimizing the Indian Occupation and the Torture of Kashmiris. Please dont go there Sir...Kashmiris need their freedom and Azaadi from both the Indians and the Pakistanis.The UN and Obama should step in and help the Kashmiris.

At the beginning of the year, Vinny Del Negro took DeAndre Jordan aside and told him he wanted the Clippers' center to be the anchor of the defense.
Jordan was cool with the challenge.
"A lot of our Lob City starts with our defense," Jordan said. "They put a lot of pressure on me, and it was good to have them thinking positively about me.
"I'm critical."
Jordan's been critical during the Clippers' recent stretch of good basketball.
"You get better as the season goes. Everything starts to slow down and you get a better feel for the game and your teammates," he said. "…I'm trying to see plays develop so I won't be late on rotations. I won't try and block a shot if I can just come over and lock it up or take a charge or something like that. "
Jordan's been able to stay on the floor, too, picking up more than three fouls just twice during the Clippers' last 14 games, of which they've won 12.
"I had a talk with the guys, and I have a foul limit. I have to be a lot smarter," Jordan said. "…I get a foul a quarter, and I can't go over my withdrawal limit."

So you didn't bother to look it up (takes about 30 seconds to do the same overview I did above) and instead went on vague, perhaps entirely incorrect memories from "some years back" and then compounded it with
> Lately, they sell you less Poulsbo, and more Optimus instead. Great...
completely incorrect and uninformed accusations.
> I must confess I have been most bitterly disappointed in these so-called Linus-friendly laptops.
They're not "linus-friendly" [sic]. They're linux pre-installed. You buy it, boot it up, enter in your new username and set your time zone and bob's your uncle.
This post brought to you by the System76 Gazelle I typed it on.

They not only do that, they pre-install Linux and support it on their hardware. System76's approach is to create a special driver to fix up any lingering bugs (on the Gazelle, it says that it's adding screen brightness hotkeys and the sdcard reader), so they only ship with Ubuntu. ZaReason's approach is to ship any Linux on their machines, so if the cardreader doesn't work they just won't advertise the cardreader. So you may get a bonus upgrade in a release or two when the cardreader support lands in your distro.
In practice, I think I prefer System76's approach. My Terra HD had a lid state detection issue (tracking it down with mjg59's help, it may have been an issue with the Intel driver, but Intel wasn't forthcoming with the docs necessary to get it fixed). Whereas so far my Sytem76 Gazelle has been perfect. Of course, this is also comparing a late-edition netbook to a full i7 laptop so there might well be a hardware quality issue innate to the respective ODM markets. As others have said, they don't build their own hardware. Neither does Dell or HP or Lenovo for that matter. Instead, they all buy parts from ODMs and assemble them to the final product. So they are susceptible to the underlying ODM market--they don't have the clout of Microsoft or Apple, particularly because people insist on buying Windows laptops and putting Windows on them.

I'm not saying Ubuntu is a bad distro, but I've been a SuSE guy since (iirc) 5.4. It's what I support on friends' machines. And gentoo on my own machines now. My latest foray into the debian world was linux mint, which installed fine ... and then when I upgraded the system got trashed. Dunno what went wrong, couldn't fix it, and ended up overwriting it with SuSE ... :-)
Cheers, Wol

Of course. And you're still free to buy ZaReason instead.
The hardware still seems solid. I've booted Fedora off my old laptop's drive and it ran just fine, though it was in an external enclosure so I can't speak to its use as a full laptop.
Of course, ZaReason will support your Fedora or SuSE install if you'd prefer to go that route instead.

Awesome Laptop SizePros: This is a great laptop. I got this laptop for my wife and she loves the fact that it's so light. The load up speed is great. I like the fact that it's a very powerful system. I think the 8gb of ram helps a lot but wow - even after having several start up programs it's such a dramatic improvement to our old laptop. Cons: Glitchy mouse pad. I don't know why but I read this already on other websites and bought it anyways but the mouse pad is glitchy. Sometimes it will show up and sometimes it won't. It will also move too much or just jump from one end to the other. We had to use an external mouse to use it but it wasn't a problem since we prefer it anyways. Did you find this review helpful? |
Ultrabook of my dreams, but poor quality controlPros: -Very light, stylish Cons: Mine came with several hairline scratches on/inside the lid. Rubber bumper around the lid is not fitting well. Pretty disappointing with poor quality control Samsung! A luxury item of this price should not come with scratches. Other Thoughts: Hopefully NewEgg will process my exchange in a hurry. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
