Jodi is fed up with her husband. She refuses to cater his every need and put up with his abusive treatment any longer."My husband has been a dominating spouse since the day I met him," Jodi says. "Frank treats me like a slave."
Frank complains,"I don't understand why my wife just won't obey me like she said in her wedding vows. I'm the man. She's the woman. It's her job to serve me, and I've got the Scripture to back it up."
Sadly, stories like Frank's and Jodi's are common in our day. A controlling husband drags his wife to the Bible and rubs her nose in his favorite passage—"Wives, submit to your own husbands." But if Frank had continued reading, the Scripture would have dealt a death-blow to his sinful attitude—"Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:22).
Frank's domineering, chauvinistic attitude is the experience of many women who feel more like their husband's doormat than the beloved, cherished bride of Christ. Even worse—beyond the damage to husband, wife, and children—a bad marriage is a poor testimony about Christ and the church.
By God's design, marriage presents to the world a picture of Christ's relationship to His bride, the church. But marriages like Frank's and Jodi's sinfully distort that portrait into a gross misrepresentation. Is Christ a petty tyrant like Frank? Does His abuse turn the church into an embittered spouse like Jodi?
Wives, maybe you've never viewed your marriage from that perspective. God intends your submission to your husband as a living illustration of the church's submission to her Lord. That is precisely the reason Paul commanded wives to submit: "For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything" (Ephesians 5:23-24). So, here's a probing question: Wives, what message are you sending to the world? What does your submission to your husband say about the church's submission to Christ?
Husbands, your turn.
Husbands, are supposed to be a living illustration of Christ, who "loved the church and gave Himself for her" (Ephesians 5:25, italics added). Notice that the stress is entirely on Christ's sacrifice and service for the good of the church. Take a look at the passage again:
That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. (Ephesians 5:26-33)
That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. (Ephesians 5:26-33)
Remember, Paul's theme in Ephesians 5 (from verse 21 on) is mutual submission. When he introduced the husband's headship in verse 23, he was not changing the subject. He was not saying everyone else needs to submit to the man, who as the head of the family gets to impose his will and his desires on everyone else. Not at all. Paul's whole point here is that a husband best shows Christlike headship by voluntary, loving sacrifice and service on behalf of the wife—which is as much a form of submission as the wife's allegiance to her husband's leadership and the children's obedience to their parents.
The sinful tendency of fallen men is to dominate their wives by brute force. Even some Christian men are guilty of being too heavy-handed with authority. They practically lord it over their wives, as if marriage were designed to be a master-slave relationship. Some, like Frank, have even tried to claim that Ephesians 5:24 supports such a notion, because it urges wives to be subject to their husbands "in everything." But that perspective of the husband's role is antithetical to the pattern of headship Christ gives us.
Anyone who thinks that way simply needs to read further into Ephesians 5. When Paul turned his attention to husband's he didn't say, "Husbands, rule your wives; order them around; command them; exercise authority over them; dominate them"—or anything of the sort. He told them to love their wives as Christ loves the church: sacrificially, tenderly, meekly, and with a servant's heart. This is how husbands are to show submission to their wives.
Authentic love is incompatible with a despotic or domineering approach to headship. When Paul commanded husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, he was in effect forbidding them to exercise severe or abusive authority over their wives. If the model of this love is Christ, who "did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28), then the husband who thinks he exists so his wife and children can serve him couldn't be further off the mark.
It is significant, by the way, that husbands are not commanded in this passage to rule over or lead their wives. They are simply told to love their wives. In fact, love dominates that entire passage in Ephesians, appearing five times throughout Paul's short list of instructions to husbands.
Consider the implications of a command to love. This suggests that genuine love is not merely a romantic feeling or an involuntary attraction. It involves a willful choice. For that reason, it's in the form of an imperative. Far from being something we "fall into" by happenstance, authentic love involves a deliberate, voluntary commitment to sacrifice whatever we can for the good of the person we love.
In 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, the apostle Paul outlined the characteristics of true love. Notice that none of the features of true love are involuntary, passive, or feelings-based. In fact, Paul used active verbs wherever possible, rather than adjectives, underscoring the truth that love is both dynamic and deliberate.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
So, when Paul commanded husbands to love their wives, he was calling for all the virtues outlined in 1 Corinthians 13, including patience, kindness, generosity, humility, meekness, thoughtfulness, liberality, gentleness, trust, goodness, truthfulness, and long-suffering. It is significant that all the properties of love stress selflessness and sacrifice. The husband who truly loves his wife simply cannot wield his authority over her like a club. Far from being overlord of the family, the godly husband and father must make himself servant of all.
That's not easy. In fact, it's impossible for unbelievers to obey Paul's command in Ephesians. Only a converted, Spirit-filled husband can love his wife as Christ loves the church. And that's the only way others will see a true picture of the Savior.
So, that's God's blueprint for marriage—it's a picture of Christ and His relationship to the church. In what ways have you seen the world, or even the church, distort God's original design? Take it to the comment thread.

What a wonderful and timely message. This really said a lot to me as I have been trying to work hard to be the best husband I can be. What frustrates me is that I have many Christian friends who lean towards the idea that a husband has "the right" to dominate their wives. I have disagreed with this and have held to this very teaching of John's that I learned years ago when he originally taught it and have tried with great effort to apply to my marriage life. It seems that there are many men in the church, even leaders in churches, that think leadership is a position of dominance. It seems that many think it is easier to dominate than to serve. I can honestly say that I've found that when you serve your role is easier and certainly more fulfilling.

An faithful husband to his wife is like a tree that bears good fruit.
When God provides a wife for me someday, maybe, or maybe not. God's plans are better than my plans. No rush for me cause it's has to be
real love to sacrifice oneself to a woman for life and must not be
just puppy love. right?? I know I am not ready to marry but in God's time.

Great expository teaching and thank you! This was a great read for me especially a day before my anniversary. I (embarassingly) fall short of Paul's commands to husbands quite too frequently. This was a great wake up call to me to start loving my wife the way I am supposed to.
Thank you. I wish I had read this a long time ago. I have spent some long, heart-wrenching years of marriage trying to be the good wife that submits to my husband "in everything," while he did not even know, let alone do, the rest of the passage that is directed to husbands. Thank you for such a clear explanation. I have been learning the hard way and through much tearful prayer how to navigate this passage. Any further clarification on this subject would be also be welcome. Thanks so much.
In what ways have you seen the world, or even the church, distort God's original design?
In approaching this subject I will, by God's grace, focus first on the subject of authority and second, focus on God's kingdom and the glory of God for which that kingdom exists. All authority is given by God as our Master so clearly testified in His answer to Pilate (John 19:11) and in The Day of Judgment to come they must give an account of their use of that which was entrusted to them as our Master faithfully warned Pilate on that same occasion. Pilate as we see in the text, became alarmed and attempted to release Him (John 19:12) but he feared man more than he feared God, washed his hands of the matter and declared himself "innocent of this Man's blood" (Matthew 27:24). He had been given the authority to release this "innocent Man" but he abdicated that authority and for that he also must give account on The Day of Judgment.
Every man, woman and child is seeking a kingdom. It is either the kingdom of self or it is the Kingdom on God. The kingdom they seek is revealed when they seek to satisfy the lust of their flesh, the lust of their eyes, the boastful pride of their own lives or the glory and honor of God and the pursuit of holiness through God's enabling grace. It has been my sad experience that most "churches" are led by men who, when the "test" came, it was revealed that they were using their "authority" to promote their own glory and their own kingdom. They had never really died to self. As our Master warned the multitudes who were following Him "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. "For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. "For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself? "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(Luke 9:23-26). Theirs may have been a religious kingdom but it was not God's Kingdom.
On several occasions I have said to my wife, "If on that Glorious Day when we see our Master, He does not say to you "Well done good and faithful slave." then I have failed as your husband (assuming she responds in a biblical fashion)." As husbands, we must exercise the authority which has been entrusted to us for the glory and honor of God and for the ultimate eternal good of our wives. To love our wives, we must deal with their sins and their unbiblical thinking by "washing them" with the water of the Word. Sin and error are our (and our wife's) greatest enemies. To fail them in this matter is to hate them and to work with the Devil towards the ruin of their souls. We live in a world that despises God and conflict is inevitable. If we fear Him and tremble at His word, His grace is more than sufficient for the task to which we have been called. To Him alone be the glory and honor both now and forevermore amen. –His Unworthy Slave

Knuckle down to play this old-time sport
Marbles is an old sport that�s been around for decades, but it�s new for each generation of youngsters who want to learn how to knuckle down and try their hand at various marble games.
The games are easy to learn, according to Caleb Isaacson, 13, who won the boys� title and a $2,000 college scholarship at the 2012 National Marbles Tournament in Wildwood, N.J.
What�s the secret to a good game of marbles? �You gotta� have fun with it!� says Caleb, who began playing marbles as a second-grader in Gunnison, Colo. �It also helps to aim correctly and have a good coach,� says Caleb, who learned the game from Jerry Piquette, 76.
To begin, players must agree in advance whether they are playing �for fair,� in which all marbles are returned to the owner, or �for keeps,� in which winners take all.
The games themselves are limited only by your imagination, but three basic approaches are identified by Bruce Breslow, 60, founder of Moon Marble Co. in Bonner Springs, Kan., where visitors can buy marbles, see them made, and learn how to play:
Ring games. Players shoot marbles in or out of a circle.
Hole games. Players shoot marbles at target marbles or into a hole, arch or can.
Off the wall games. Players shoot marbles off a wall, stoop or board; marbles ricochet, as in a game of pool.
Need more direction? Here are three simple games to get you started:
Archboard. In this hole game, players shoot for holes cut into a shoebox. Each hole is assigned a random number. When your marble goes into one of the holes, you score points, and the one who earns the most points wins.
Baseball. Players shoot marbles at holes dug in the ground to represent key elements of a baseball field.
1. Dig holes to form a baseball diamond: first, second and third bases, plus home plate. �The playing field could be any size, but we had about 8 feet between bases,� says Breslow, recalling how he and his friends played the game while growing up during the 1950s in Atlantic City, N.J.
2. Make a hole for the pitching mound where players ante up. Since clay marbles are less valuable, Breslow suggests evening the ante by equating three clays to one cat�s eye.
3. Players take turns, and shoot their way around the bases. The first one to reach home plate wins the pot.
Simple Ringer. Try this simplified version of the classic ring game used in tournament and competition play.
1. Draw a large circle, usually about 5 to 10 feet across, and place 13 marbles in the center, spaced 3 inches apart to form a cross.
2. Using a designated shooter marble, players take turns shooting from outside the circle and trying to hit a target marble out of the ring while keeping the shooter marble inside the ring. If the shooter misses, the player picks up his shooter marble and his turn is over. If the shooter scores a hit but the shooter marble rolls out of the ring, the player keeps any marbles that rolled out, including his shooter marble, and his turn is over. If the shooter scores a hit and the shooter marble stays inside of the ring, the player shoots again from the spot where the shooter marble came to a stop.
3. For each new turn, a player shoots from anywhere outside the ring.
4. The person who collects the most marbles is the winner.
Reasonable rules apply, of course. The shooter marbles should all be of the same size and material. To determine who shoots first, use the preliminary game of lagging, in which players shoot from about 10 feet away toward a line in the ground or another designated target. The player who gets closest goes first.

This leaked memo contains a directive from the Department of Telecommunications of the Government of India to all ISPs in India explicitly directing them to block various YouTube links, Twitter handles and other web pages.
Per Economic Times reports,
Through four (1, 2, 3, 4) directives to Internet Service Providers between 18 August and 21 August, the department of telecom has blocked numerous web pages on concerns that communal tensions were being fanned in the wake of the unrest following violence in the border districts of Assam. After protests in Mumbai on August 18 turned violent, the government had said that hate content was being spread through the Internet by groups in Pakistan.
This Orwellian move by the Indian government comes in the wake of recent incidents in Assam and the rampant rumors surrounding those incidents which triggered a mass exodus of migrants from the North East from various Indian cities.
Just to highlight how ridiculous and politically tinged this move is, one of the banned accounts is a parody Twitter account of the Indian Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh.

Hi Stu
Just a suggestion.
When Barry has a rest how about him competing in all the Parkruns that abound in the UK. He could be passed on from one to the next just as in his epic journey round the UK coast. He already has done the Edinburgh Parkrun keeping me company on a wet miserable day. Mind you he would need to register before he started and his bar code passed on as well.
Hi Werdna,
well Barry is doing bits of events until we sort out the next big adventure. What we are doing is allowing folk to book him for individual events via the Barry's Diary thread.
Coasters was great!!

The Bill Norman Top Dollar is a topwater lure which is effective when fished in a walk-the-dog manner. With the profile of a baitfish, the Top Dollar spits water and pops when twitched during the retrieve. The Top Dollar also has a rear weight transfer system, which helps account for the lure's enticing action and also allows you to cast it farther.

Comments: This lure rip the delta bass like crazy...so surprised to catch more top water bass with this lure and the action is just great....I'd out beat my friends using this lure against their crankbait anytime all sizes....
From: Lil_jess: Sacramento, ca USA
Comments: Probably the best inexpensive top water on the market and possibly the best regardless of price.
Cons: Throws erratically at times because of flat sides. Hooks need to be upgraded to Daiichi or Lucky Craft hooks. Fortunately, the bait is so cheap, the modifications are affordable.
Pros: Throw it and pause like it's a popper. Twitch it once, twice, then start walking. Walks erratically with odd direction changes and splashes. At times it goes subsurface and keeps walking. I have had two different 50 fish days on this bait and numerous limit mornings.
From: rps: Table Rock Lake, MO
Comments: This lure is great. I was fishing with it out of the back of my buddy's boat the other day while he was fishing with a Zara Spook and he was making fun of the way this lure looked. Well after I caught a couple fish on it and he was still trying to get a bite he was asking me for one of these. This bait makes a lot of commotion and stays in the strike zone longer then most topwater lures. It's almost like combining a Pop-r and a spook all in one. This is a wonderful lure.
From: Travis: Winchester, TN
Comments: This lure may look a little goofy or "gimmicky", however it REALLY walks the dog easily and this funky front lip design really seems to toss water left and right as you work the thing. I REALLY enjoyed throwing this lure and FAR worth the under $5.00 price tag !!!!!

About the Author: Kathleen Eagen works in the State Department's Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science.
Today is International Youth Day, and this year's theme is appropriately titled, "Youth and Climate Change: A Time for Action."
A few weeks ago the Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science, Claudia A. McMurray, spoke to a group of about 400 high school students. These kids were from a number of different countries, as well as throughout the United States, and were one of several groups this summer that have come to the State Department to hear policy speeches on the U.S. government's top issues. Assistant Secretary McMurray highlighted our Bureau's work on climate change, illegal wildlife trafficking and illegal logging. She spoke about the U.S. commitment to developing a global solution to climate change that is both environmentally effective and economically sustainable, an agreement that would include participation from all major economies, including the United States.
She also spoke about U.S. efforts to stop the illegal trade in wildlife trafficking, through the promotion of strong law enforcement and stopping the demand of these products. Finally, she addressed U.S. government's efforts to preserve the vast biodiversity of the world's forests through a number of initiatives aimed at preventing deforestation and preserving the natural environment of the world's "lungs."
When the Assistant Secretary concluded her remarks, I wondered how the students would respond. I soon learned that they were not only interested in the issues -- asking tough, probing questions -- but they also weren't afraid to voice their opinions on how the United States and the world were doing on tackling the difficult environmental questions of the day. These kids weren't just savvy about the issues, they were concerned about how the issues would create an impact on the world around them. From questions about illegal logging, to the possibilities of the future of space exploration, no environmental topic lay unturned. But perhaps the question that struck me the most was a basic one, "What can we do to help stop global warming?"
I was heartened by the questions posed by the coming generation to our Assistant Secretary. The mere fact that these students are actively engaged in thinking about the issue answers the question posed above. It's the first step. What can we do to stop global warming? Think about your impact on the world, ask tough questions, become engaged in the debate, and never stop striving to find a way forward. Perhaps it's as simple as making the decision to walk instead of driving a car or installing energy efficient lightbulbs in your home. All these small efforts can add up when the world works together to tackle this global issue.
There is no magic bullet for addressing the climate change issue. It is, by nature, complex and difficult. But that doesn't mean we can't work to find a solution. Now, more than ever, the global community has the opportunity to work together to tackle the problem of environmental degradation and climate change. We owe it to ourselves, and the next generation, to save and preserve this Earth.

Dear Sir.
I would like to mention about entitled "How energy independed is JAPAN?"
A status quo that the self-sufficiency rate for energy in Japan is a serious problem. Specifically, Japan's energy rate stands at 4% (18% if we include nuclear power). As of the end of March, 2007, the nation equipe a 95-day supply of oil reserves, with another 80-day supply held by private interest.
So,we promote development of energy-saving household devices and the development of alternative energy sources. Thank you so much.

Speaking to children is always a great way to get a message out. I hope that Ms McMurray puts together a package to distribute to schools. Kids do tend to come up with a lot of unexpected questions, I'm not sure we are adequately getting the global warming message out in schools.

Health law faces court date
40 companies have sued over requirement
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to referee another dispute over President Barack Obama's health care law: whether businesses may use religious objections to escape a requirement to cover birth control for employees.
The justices said they will take up an issue that has divided the lower courts in the face of roughly 40 lawsuits from for-profit companies asking to be spared from having to cover some or all forms of contraception.
The Obama administration promotes the law's provision of a range of preventive care, free of charge, as a key benefit of the health care overhaul. Contraception is included in the package of cost-free benefits, which opponents say is an attack on the religious freedom of employers.
The court will consider two cases. One involves Hobby Lobby Inc., an Oklahoma City-based arts and crafts chain with 13,000 full-time employees. Hobby Lobby won in the lower courts.
The other case is an appeal from Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., a Pennsylvania company that employs 950 people in making wood cabinets. Lower courts rejected the company's claims.
The court said the cases will be combined for arguments, probably in late March. A decision should come by late June.
The cases center on the provision of the law that requires most employers who offer health insurance to their workers to provide the range of preventive health benefits. In both instances, the Christian families who own the companies say that insuring some forms of contraception violates their religious beliefs.
The key issue is whether profit-making corporations may assert religious beliefs under the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act or the First Amendment provision guaranteeing Americans the right to believe and worship as they choose.
Nearly four years ago, the justices expanded the concept of corporate "personhood," saying in the Citizens United case that corporations have the right to participate in the political process the same way that individuals do. Some lower court judges have applied the same logic in the context of religious beliefs.
"The government has no business forcing citizens to choose between making a living and living free," said David Cortman of the Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian public interest law firm that is representing Conestoga Wood at the Supreme Court.

Topic: HOW-TO: cPanel + Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy_balancer + mongrel_cluster
Following my previous entry/how-to, this weekend I went the next step and got Apache 2.2 and mongrel_cluster working on my cPanel server (cPanel only just started supporting Apache 2 with their latest EDGE builds).
It took a lot of doing without an explanation of everything needed in one place, so before it seeps back out the other side of my head, I've written it all down for my own reference and hopefully to help others.
Here's the reprint:

Understanding Delinquency and Default
Student loans, both federal and private, must be repaid, even if your financial situation becomes difficult. Your student loans cannot be cancelled if you didn't get the education or job you expected, or if you did not complete your education.
If you fail to repay on time, you are delinquent. If you continue to be delinquent, you're in default -- and your entire loan balance comes due.
Managing your student loan account, keeping good records and developing a sound—and realistic—financial plan will help you stay on track and avoid default.
The first day you miss a payment, you are delinquent. If you do not bring your payments current and remain delinquent for 90 days, your loan servicer will report your delinquency to each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies. A negative credit rating may make it difficult for you to:
- Rent an apartment
- Get a car loan
- Sign up for utilities
- Get a credit card
- Get a cellphone plan
- Get a job
Learn more about credit reports, and request a free copy of your report.
If you have problems making your monthly loan payments, don't panic. There are several options to help you avoid defaulting on your student loan, including deferments, forbearances and loan consolidation. But you must act before the loan defaults.
A student loan is defaulted when you fail to make your scheduled payments or make special arrangements with your lender or servicer to suspend payments according to the terms of your promissory note.
Your loan enters default when you have failed to repay your loan for more than 270 days. Your lender will then sell your loan to the agency that guaranteed it, such as HESC, or the U.S. Department of Education (ED).
Defaulting on your loan is serious and has many consequences.
However, you can get out of default and repair the damage to your finances.

Well, there is Paintball Hill. Not a very good field at all. Its really worth the extra 45 minute drive to Asylum.
The closest public field, is in Louisville, which is asylum, which is an awesome field. There's also third eye in Louisville

I guess I should have stated that. If your into very laid back recball on speedball and hyperball with mainly rentals or pumpers, then Paintball Hill is decent. Asylum is where the tournament style scene is with 3 airball fields (only the PSP field is up now, but another PSP field is about to be set up indoors and the NPPL field is about to be set up) and they also have I think 6 massive woodsball fields.
Paintball hill is not really a bad feild its just not where you are gonna wanna go if you want the competitive tournament scene if your looking for that then yeah check out asylum. If you looking for chilled out pump/rec ball paintball hill is nice for that.

The BTU rating is the most important factor. My burner is rated for 58,000 BTU with a 10psi regulator. At approximately 1/3 power my stone reaches 700 is 15 minutes. Frankly, I don't see any benefit from a larger burner. My setup is nearly identical to Boatman's.
No argument from me. I'm a physics teacher. As you correctly note, there are other thermodynamic considerations that must be taken into account. I think a lot of people get hung up on oven temperature and don't realize the importance of the other variables.
Is it still recommended to lift the pizza stone off of having direct contact with the steel sitting on the grate? I know people recommended it early in this thread, but I saw no recent reference to it.Would people recommend putting a Primo pizza stone directly on a steel plate sitting on the grill, with no lower diffusers? Or should it be insulated off the plate by some small pieces of cordierite?

i am a caffeine addict. i decided to purchase some loose leaf tea approx 1yr ago (green tea sampler from adagio) as an alternative to soda (i dislike coffee). i was drinking it for awhile in place of soda/other bottled caffeine drinks, but found myself back to soda for its convienience (ready made) and refreshment (its cold!). recently i got to thinking, why not make ice tea? i have no idea why it took me so long to to come up with this idea. i've been drinking a lot of snapple and sobe tea which gives me a nice caffeine boost and never once did i think i could make it on my own. now that i've realized i can, i'm infatuated with the idea.
So far my method is to fill an empty snapple bottle with some cold water, add some loose leaf tea from my sampler, and stick it in the fridge for 12hrs or so.
My first batch was citron green + some irish breakfast black tea and it was fantastic! Didn't even need sugar it tasted so good. It seems that cold brewing gave me a much less bitter tea.
my post here is to see if anyone has any tips/ideas/systems for cold brewing. Like, what kind of shelf life can i expect from my old brew? Do i lose antioxidants? is caffeine extraction the same as hot brew?
what are some cool blends? So far ive just been combining a green tea with black tea. I figure i need the black tea in there for desired caffeine content.
i think this is so cool i can create wild flavors by mixing teas! that, and the effort required is so minimal. way less than hot brewing. im sure connoisseurs will say hot tea is the only way to go but i live in florida and its frankly too hot to be sipping on hot tea. besides, it burns my tongue! also, i tried to hot brew a tea and then cool it down, but it was too bitter for my taste.

I wish I could say mine was something witty like a putter that allows me to regulary sink 12 footers or a wedge that keeps me one putting after chipping, but mine is actually a 2iron.
For the last 2 years I have had a hell of a time hitting driver. I just can't seem to get the club to work at all. I am not talking about hooking into the rough or slicing OB, I am talking about hitting 50 yard worm burners. I think my swing plane is too vertical, that I am scooping the ball too much. Hell, I can play a 2 iron, that means that there HAS to be something wrong with my swing. I think I will work on that driver thing over the winter, and just stop carrying the warbird around this year.
To compensate for my complete lack of ability to hit a driver, I bought an X-18 2iron. I absolutely crush this club. I hit it straight, I can work it left to right or right to left. I play with some pretty good players and generally I am only 20 yards behind them off the tee and usually in better shape so I dont feel as bad about using it, the only bad thing is that it takes most par 5's out of reach in two now. I can only hit the very short (<500 yard) par 5's and in order to do so, i must play two VERY good iron shots, usually 2iron then 3 iron.
I guess it kind of sucks too, that on 400 yard par 4's I am playing 2iron 8 iron instead of driver wedge like my friends.

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
Hall of Fame vote
THUMBS DOWN: The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame voters struck out looking this week. With a horde of steroid-suspected players on the ballot this year, the national baseball writers entrusted with ballots elected no one to the hall this year.
Players like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens wouild normally be shoo-ins, if not for their suspected steroid use. Did their presence on the ballot keep other players from getting votes? Some voters sent in blank ballots in protest.
It has to be confusing for the voters. Barry Bonds has hit more home runs than anyone in his career, but how many of them were juiced? Major League Baseball isn't providing any guidance. MLB ought to declare whether these players are eligible or ineligible for the hall. After all, if Lance Armstrong can be stripped of his Tour de France titles for doping, why can't Bonds be stripped of his records?
Give a Gift of Life
THUMBS UP: How would you like to be a hero, a lifesaver? It's not as difficult as you might think. In fact, you can even do it while lying on your back.
We're talking about donating blood to the American Red Cross Bloodmobile when it visits Brown County next week. Blood drives will be held at the Orchid Inn in Sleepy Eye on Monday, from 1 to 7 p.m., then in New Ulm at the Vogel Fieldhouse from 1 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and 8 a.m., to 1 p.m. Friday.
Through the Red Cross, hospitals in Minnesota are able to have a ready supply of blood on hand when needed. Donated blood is used in a variety of ways to save lives, from transfusions for trauma vicitms and surgical patients, to treatment of a variety of diseases.
The process is relatively painless, and most people feel no ill effects. It doesn't take very long, either.
Call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767) to make an appointment to give the gift of life.
Tough PD decision
THUMBS DOWN: Several years ago the New Ulm Police Department saw a need for a canine officer, and with a lot of financial donations from private citizens and organizations, it got a police dog, Thunder. A couple of years ago when Thunder became ill and retired, a new dog, Juno, was added to the force.
Now NUPD, facing the need to cut $30,000 from its budget, is looking at eliminating the canine program.
We know this is a financial decision, part of the city's overall budget balancing for this year. But we also know that if money were not a concern, the police department would like to keep this program.

Just as each individual is unique, so too are the prices for PersonalBlue plans. Good thing it's easy to get your very own PersonalBlue quote. Here's how:
We want to issue a health insurance policy. But you have to tell us the truth – and disclose your health information – when answering questions on your application. Not doing so can be considered fraud. Your acceptance will be based on the information you provide. You must also meet height and weight guidelines and minimum health requirements before your application can be approved. If approved for coverage, your monthly premium rate will be determined based on the health status of all applicants (if you applied for more than one person). Rest assured, once approved for coverage, your premiums cannot be increased due to changes in your health status or the number of claims you file.
PersonalBlue policies include a 12-month waiting period before any benefits will be paid for pre-existing conditions. A pre-existing condition is any physical or mental condition that was present during the 12-month period before your coverage became effective, for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was recommended or received, or symptoms existed and a reasonably prudent person would have sought medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment from a health care provider.
Limits on pre-existing conditions are a standard part of most health plans. They make sure benefits are paid only for conditions that occur after your health coverage becomes effective. Paying only for approved services and conditions helps control health care costs and prevent possible insurance abuse. Please carefully read the information on pre-existing conditions when you receive your policy.
Pre-Existing Condition Waiting Period does not apply to those under age 19.
Our underwriting policies may require that we place a "benefit exclusion rider" on your policy for a particular condition you or one of your dependents may have. That means BlueCross won't provide benefits for the condition for the life of your policy. This may include (but is not limited to) benefits for services, supplies, treatment, charges and possibly medications related to the condition. You may ask that we reconsider a benefit exclusion rider by sending a letter and any medical records related to the condition(s).

Skip to comments.War over sexist Queens statue
Posted on 12/09/2012 8:01:00 AM PST by ConservativeStatement
Civic Virtue has become a Greek tragedy.
Queens residents are protesting the citys plans to banish a controversial sculpture to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn which would be the second move for the classic, 90-year-old monument that pols have slammed for decades as a sexist eyesore.
The Triumph of Civic Virtue depicts a nude male warrior symbolizing civic virtue trampling two women, the sirens of vice and corruption.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Welcome to the 21st century — vice and corruption are supposed to win, and males are supposed to get trampled.
It's not that they represent women that's bothering them, it's that they represent NY politicians.
It would probably be ok if it was a woman trampling
two men. Anyway sirens were historically women because
of their appealing voices.
I hate this PC crap
It's only vice and corruption when women do it. It's virtue when guys do it.
Here's a wiki link.
Betcha if the guy was trampling a couple of nuns (or other representation of a female Christian), many of the same crowd would be clamoring to protect it.
I think the sculpture rocks, btw.
>>I hate this PC crap<<
I go out of my way to use non-PC language. When I am forced to use it, it is always with a snicker.
Then why is Satan always depicted as a male? For God's sake, what's next? Are we going to rewrite the Medusa as a male just so the PC crowd doesn't get it's panties in a wad? It's a piece of sculpture done in the classical style. You have to work really hard to be offended by it. I sincerely hope you were joking.
The same idiots who are protesting this are the ones demanding that we protect the "freedom of expression" for sacriligeous portrayals.
Forgot the >/sarc tag. Sorry
Men don't have any rights?
Imagine a statue of a man and woman and their children crushing two females. Now how would you interpret that....and what are the chances of that happening??
But art at a major museum depicting God and dung in the same breath....that's okay??
The male nude is gay. The two "females" were formerly known as Chuck and Barry before their sex change operation.
Well honey, if women want to create a rich tapestry of myths and if a woman wants to carve a wonderful statue based on those myths we men certainly won't mind. Complaining about the men who actually did those things is easier and more satisfying though.
I miss the days when women were women (and gloried in being women) and didn't sound like perpertually jealous little brothers.
Males created the statue, which depicts sirens as women because males created the myths.
When a man first came up with the idea of a siren, who lures you with its beautiful voice/form to your destruction, he made it female.
Because it had to be. Because heterosexual men are very unlikely to be lured to their deaths by a male voice, no matter how melodic. Men would be yelling "shut the hell up, will you" from passing ships. You'd end up "luring" in a bunch of angry guys who wanted to chop your head off.
Male sirens...now there's a truly horrifying mythical creature.
They certainly don't want their artistic labors ending up in a cemetary or at the bottom of the East River.
So much for those age-old sexist paintings of the Blessed Virgin Mary prostrated at Jesus' feet under the cross.
It was sarcasm. Forgot the </sarc tag
I should have realized that. You are quite sensible. What are you doing up? Isn't it 4 AM where you are?
Yes and no. I'm home for Christmas to be with family and will go back after New Years.
Women who are women don't mind admitting a depiction of vice filled women being eradicated. They know that women are powerful and they know that women who seek to destroy virtue are powerfully driven to destroy culture and civilization.
Good women are simply not threatened by this. Not in the least, just this current crop of baby and family killers.
Kids need to read the classics in school. They do around here. Takes their interest in stupid pop literature and tramples it like a graak god trampling a couple of sirens.
Greek gods too.
Good to hear. I'll be home with mine in about a week. Happy Hanukkah and a safe and Happy New Year.
I was reminded how censored society has become yesterday, when my 25 year old son and I sat down and watched old youtube vids of Art Linkletter and Bill Cossby doing kids say the darndest things. Most of this could never air on television today.
>> 90-year-old monument that pols have slammed for decades as a sexist eyesore.
But it's art? The Taliban destroys art that it deems offensive.
... excepting rap music, where it is perfectly ok to depict women as 'hoes' and 'bitches' ... and politicians are worried about a 90 year old allegorical statue. Somehow, I don't think the statue is the problem.
Many Queens residents are apparently ignorant when it comes to Greek mythology (among other things). I'm willing to bet that a large percentage of 'em are 0bama voters.
Time to portray Satan as female. It's the PC thing to do.
Women scare me (and I'm a female)
That's a seriously clumpy statue.
As to the original statue in this thread...
Please move it to my front lawn.
Uhm, unless one knows what the statue is about, it's likely to be seen as a man trampling two women. Flame away, but I can see why it's offensive. Would a statue of a woman walking on two men be O.K. with the posters on here? I doubt it. Given the state of our education system, I'm not surprised people don't know what it means.
Hadn't even noticed it! It appears to be an ad for the roadshow of the Broadway musical "Wicked", a recent adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz" that features the witch.
When women finally figure out that they OWN abortion, this statue will seem like a depiction of Hello Kitty getting her purse snatched.
They're lucku they don't go after Lady Liberty 10 miles to the southwest fro being a girl.
THE MAN KEEPING HER DOWN: Civic Virtue (the dude) steps on vice (the woman).
I should add, that when the installation of the statue was publicized, one of my friends commented, "That's the taxpayer on the bottom."
It may not have occured to you, but more men support abortion than women.
Oh men support it!
Yep. They're vocally quiet about it, they are complete and utter wimps about it, for the vast majority, except those who are doing trmendous work against it.
Women, however, own it.
Oh, O.K. I guess that explains why there are more women in pro-life organizations than men....
One - yes, it does.
Two - It explains why there are moe women in pro abortion organizations than men.
men stay out of it. But they think they're not affected by it. They are.
Yeah, AND?
And. . . That's it. Should there be more? There isn't.
This issue is so simple.
I am under the impression that 55 million abortions in 40 years deserves more insight than, whatever, but it is still a free country.
Maybe in your clouded world it's still free, but not in mine.
Well, you're free to say "whatever" about this monstrosity.

Tell your lawmakers: It's time to give America a raise
"What every American wants is a paycheck that lets them support their families, know a little economic security, pass down some hope and optimism to their kids. And that's worth fighting for."
– President Obama
No one who works full-time in America should have to raise their family in poverty. It's time to raise the minimum wage.
The federal minimum wage hasn't kept pace with the rising costs of basic necessities for working families, and today is worth even less than it was in the early 1980s. That means someone working full time for the federal minimum wage makes just $14,500 a year — which is below the poverty line for a family of four.
Raising the minimum wage nationwide would benefit 28 million workers across the country, and lift nearly a million people out of poverty. These aren't just teenagers at their first job — the average age of workers who would benefit is 35 years old.
Despite support from 7 out of 10 Americans, lawmakers have failed to act.
But momentum is on our side. So far in 2014, ten states and D.C. have enacted minimum wage increases, and many more states have legislation in motion to follow suit. We've seen state legislators from both sides of the aisle come together, because they know that putting more money in the pockets of working Americans means more spending at local businesses.
President Obama led by example, raising the wage for all federal contractors by executive order. We've also seen business owners raise wages for their employees, because they know that workers who feel valued are more productive and less likely to leave their jobs.
Higher wages are good for workers and business, and are key to a stronger economy that creates opportunity for all Americans.
What's needed now is a strong show of support from people across the country, to let our lawmakers know: It's time to give America a raise.

Why are we being so harsh on Mamata Banerjee?
Every act of omission or commission by her government is magnified by the national media and presented as yet more evidence that West Bengal is looking down a long and slippery road. Read more

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (593 votes).
In short: Wonderful wallowingnaboutIn full: Not as wet as last year but the mud had a cetain viscocity and drag factor as I tried to get out of the lake without the aid of a rope.Either the runners with me had major personal problems or we were all covered in cow s***. I suspect it was the latterTremendous fun and Bitton RR should be very very proud of themselvesCannot think of a better way to spend a Sunday morningThe race deserves to be in the Runners World top 10 races IMOBTW Annejacko: it was probably me in the hot tub !!!Date of review: November 12, 2006
In short: Absolutely fabulous and great fun!!!In full: My first off X-C run and absolutely loved it!More mud and water than I ever thought possible but great laugh (plus a tough challenge, epecially the long narrow tough hill) Can't wait for next year!Date of review: November 12, 2006
In short: Great course, brilliant stewards, top goody bag and a quality tee-shirt. Well done to all involved.Date of review: November 12, 2006
In short: I said never again as I crossed the line but 30 seconds later I was already planning next year's race!In full: I had a great time at the back and felt encouraged all the way round very friendly runners and spectators and marshalls. I'm now very wet and tired but I really can't wait until next year! I must be barking when I could have stayed in a nice warm bed with the Sunday papers and a nice hot coffee. See you next year!Date of review: November 12, 2006
In short: Mud, mud glorious mud (with bovine enhancement)In full: No delay as stream bed -Allelujah!! but a couple of bottlenecks later on could have hacked off anyone looking for a time. It gave us normal mortals a restDate of review: November 12, 2006
In short: they must be mud, great fun and very well organisedDate of review: November 12, 2006
In short: mud, mud,glorious mud!In full: Once again Bitton RR have done a great job.Friendly marshalls great atmosphere and a goody bag with lots of goodies that I could n't wait to scoff!The course is challenging but great fun with the crowd at the river crossing egging people on.The only race I've done that has a hot tub at the finish! Mind you it was a bit murky by the time I got there-hate to think what was in it!!Date of review: November 12, 2006
In short: Cracking fun - would definitely recommend itIn full: This was my first slog and I've had a fantastic day. Chipping Sodbury is a lovely part of the country to visit. It's not a race that I'd choose to try and beat a PB on, but running through rivers has great novelty value. The atmosphere throughout was very good, aided by very friendly marshals. Well organised, although the race started before people had a chance to get in position properly - need to allow longer to get runners to the start next time. Two minute silence and Last Post a very nice and meaningful touch. VFM - well worth it. It's a good beginner's race as long as you've trained properly, otherwise the course would put off would-be runners. As stated before, the course has got a fun feeling to it. Will try to do this one next year.Date of review: November 12, 2006
In short: Very varied, quite tough but great fun. I should have brought a change of clothes though. I'm wet and very smelly.Date of review: November 12, 2006
In short: Pretty tough but great fun and very wet and muddy. Definately not one for a PB!! I loved the long sleeve tee too.Date of review: August 12, 2006

A visualization showing how three mathematical concepts translate into simple objects in nature.
Mathematical equations are like sonnets says Keith Devlin. What most of us learn in school, he says, doesn't begin to convey what mathematics is. And technology may free more of us to discover the wonder of mathematical thinking — as a reflection of the inner world of our minds.

About the Image
Staff at the Eden Project get to have their first view of the biggest rainforest in captivity from Eden's new Rainforest Lookout on September 6, 2010 in St Austell, England. The aerial platform — which is higher than the Tower of London at the top of the 55-meter-high biome, the largest greenhouse in the world — allows visitors to the Eden Project the chance to look down on the tropical canopy in a way they could never have before. The Rainforest Biome is the larger of Eden's two covered biomes at 100 meters wide, 300 meters long, and 55 meters high and contains thousands of tropical plants including banana trees, coffee, rubber plants and giant bamboo. The aerial platform, which opened to the public this month is the latest attraction to the Cornish tourist spot which gets over 1 million visitors a year.

Calvin is more correct about
Calvin is more correct about math as a religion than he imagines. That Keith Devlin discovered the wonders of math at the top of a tree that allowed him to escape the confines of the forest (the Garden of Wholeness of which we are an integral part) demonstrates the veracity of Calvin's thinking.
In my youth, I literally climbed to the top of a tree on top of a Colorado mountain with its base at 12,000 feet elevation and "saw God". What we see or experience at those airy heights is NOT the truth of the world in which we are immersed, but the abstractions from that world that are poor approximations of the real thing.
Both mathematics and religions are such abstractions - mental metaphors for the world of dust and moonbeams - beautiful in its perfection, perhaps, but only a substitute for, and evasion of, the real world of which we're made.
I have been listening to him
I have been listening to him on NPR for a long time and while NOT being a math maven, I did enjoy the talk. Thanks, yet again!
Good morning Dr. Devlin,
Good morning Dr. Devlin,
First I trust that this message finds you contented; having food (nutrition) and cover (clothing and shelter). I woke up to your voice on the 6 am, 9/22/2013, 90.7 WMFE interview on Joy of Math with Ms. Krista Tippett. Your point of view of mathematical thinking is interesting and different especially your connection of music to math. I like your effort in massively open online courses (MOOC). Many could be edified in traditional courses, who cannot enter a fee for education university.
I could not miss your passing comment to Ms. Tippett about language and evolution of humankind. Your statement of 50,000 years did not elude my hearing. What is your evidence for the number for the age of language? You spoke of the origins of language as if it was a mystery and having evolved from some unknown source. Why is your conclusion so uncertain? Have you not read that the multiplicity of languages were an intervention of one called God Genesis 11:1, 6, 7, 9 (King James Version)? The earth was of one language before the noteworthy event Genesis 11:1 (King James Version).
Your leadership in a correct direction on the subject of language can be tremendous because of your credentials; your association with a prominent and well known seat of higher learning – Stanford; and the strength of your independent viewpoint.
Please respond with your thoughts, and your research on my challenge to your view of language and its origin.
There is a lot more
There is a lot more mathematics to the learning process than one might naively expect.
Everyone has heard of the fabled "learning curve" but such notions are more than a poetic metaphor. Have you ever wondered what is encoded in the curvature of a learning curve?
See Cognition, Affect, and Learning for some surprising insights into the hidden mathematics of a learning curve.

Al Islam is mathamatics (a thinking pattern) and mathamatics is Al Islam and it can be proven in no limit of time. I learned that from Elijah Muhammad in 1972.

Joy of Math. Every Sunday
Joy of Math. Every Sunday morning we listen to On Being and then discuss what we've heard and how it relates to our lives. I was excited to hear about mathematics "as a reflection of the inner world of our minds" and mathematics as seeing "patterns." I felt the interview didn't really follow through on those. Yes, music has patterns but what are other examples of mathematical patterns in life? I would have appreciated examples that would help me "see" in this different way. Interesting that people were singing the equations, but were the notes/tune chosen to specifically create the pattern of the equation they were singing about? How does that relate to my life and the inner workings of my mind? And I would have appreciated examples of how mathematics is a reflection of the mind. Keith said language and mathematics are of the same origin but he didn't explain that. To someone who doesn't see the world the way he does, I have no idea what that meant. The first 14 minutes were about how schools and people don't use use or teach math to its fullest potential. We know that. Thanks for the many, many good programs that I often encourage friends and clients to listen to, but this won't be one of them.
Was delighted to learn about
Was delighted to learn about MOOC, hear a mathematician say that quantification is limited, and learn about The Language of Mathematics:Making The Invisible Visible...I ordered 2 copies last night ...one for my son and one to help supplement my work as a middle school teacher. Thanks
The Joy of Math:
The Joy of Math:
We need to see a follow-up segment on MOOC since the joys of math segment into the joys of MOOC was quite disturbing.
This is a quick synopsis of Stanford University and education.....they were leaders in the education reform of the late 1980s that took text books out of the classrooms because it stifled creativity and stopped rigor in grading and moving students up because all that hurts children's feelings. The same reform had teachers allowing calculators in teaching math. This wasn't optional and teachers fought against this and for quality education just as they are fighting the reforms by the same institutions responsible for that disaster of reform. I know you all know this so I'm just setting the stage.
Stanford used that education reform to make all kinds of money writing and selling these new enlightened lessons in lieu of textbooks. Stanford is now a corporation as it has for decades been patenting and profiting off of these education reform policies. That education reform policy gave us students who graduated not able to read and do math.
Now we are having an education reform that has these same institutions with Stanford in the lead taking students online and exposed to canned lessons written by hand-picked professors. What could go wrong with that? We all know this reform is about ending completely democratic education in America and creating an autocratic capture of information from K-college and MOOC leads the way. The idea that MOOC was created to be this great free access education ....the great equalizer....is much like the Great Leader appearing on the Korean news stating THERE IS FOOD IN GROCERY STORES so you can't be hungry. I must say that the guests suggestion of liking the image of looking out from the computer screen as being intimate education just as startling as the Great Leader.
The intent with MOOC is to eliminate the diversity of learning and the bedrock of democratic activity. We need to look at the MIT decision last year to stop all large lecture hall computer lessons because of the obvious fact that students spent the time surfing the web and not following the lessons online to know this online course/lesson holds no value in achievement....it simply is being used to further capture a democratizing structure and make lots of money. Indeed, they are now trying to figure out how much to charge for these and how professors will be chosen.
The point is that we have public media in order to provide programming that is public interest. What I just outlined would be the public interest piece of what was an advertisement for a profit-making adventure. To have it imbedded in a show on morality and ethics....truly bizarre. I'm sorry for you!
Please say on your Sunday
Please say on your Sunday morning 7 am broadcast (NYC) when the program will be rebroadcast; Sunday night, what time? It seems to be nowhere posted on the website. Also, I CANNOT STAND those soupy musical interludes between segments; part of the intellectual degeneration of NPR, everywhere. Why do you have to do this repeatedly, interrupting the most profound thoughts with mood music and advertising? It is an insult to an intelligent audience and a waste of time. Such a disappointment for such a fine program as On Being. It is ubiquitous now at NPR and a vulgarization of its mission. Victoria Southwell
Yes, but it takes several
Yes, but it takes several years of study to understand Euler's identity. It's kind of like e=mc2. Or Newton's gravitational equation, why should it be so? But it is. Euler has another larger identity which connects addition and multiplication which is also tremendous and completely unexpected.
Pythagoras goes a lot farther - he felt that idea and form were God and generated all other realities. It's kind of form and beauty as God. This is a pre-Christian pagan religion.
Numbers are part of the natural, created world, in the realist sense or not. And any part of the created world turns out to be beautiful.
Right, mathematics or science or reason by itself, without the tempering of human considerations, make perfect sense, but lead to disaster.
"God is a mathematician." Einstein
Wonderful to see a gifted mathematician!
There is a book about Greek
There is a book about Greek religion titled 'God as form' which describes how form can be seen as generating all else in Pythagoras. It's an emphasis on beauty, and it seems to me that it's the default metaphysical background of our public schools.

aspects of spirituality interviewing leading thinkers...

I was disappointed to hear Ms
I was disappointed to hear Ms. Tippett begin her interview by saying she is "congenitally bad," or words to that effect, at math. People with certain disabilities may be congenitally bad at math--or French or cooking or volleyball--but I believe the rest of us are limited only by our willingness to do the work. I'm 70 years old, a retired professional writer, and for the past three years I've been studying calculus (actually, pre-calculus, since I had some brushing up to do) at various places on line. I'm getting better at it, maybe even good.

Good day Professor Devlin,
Good day Professor Devlin,
I found you through your Stamford online math class. After watching two of your utube videos I am convinced you will go down in history as the most extraordinary mathematicians in this century. You are improving the world, and you certainly changed my perspective on math, which has always been full of fear. I look forward to learning eveything I can from you for as long as I live.. I am deeply humbled and grateful to you. Blessings and eternal thanks!
"Mathematics is a lense
"Mathematics is a lense through which you look at the world. But in a deeper sense, it's a mirror through which you look at yourself."
I find it somewhat ironic that this week's On Being, about the mathematican Keith Devlin, is how numbers apply to spiritual understanding. Just two weeks ago I was thinking hard about what numbers actually are. They represent nothing tangible physically. I came to the conclusion that numbers have literally know physical meaning. Yet, numbers mean so much to people. They mean everything. How we see and interpret the world is entirely grounded in how we understand numbers. At the same time though, we make these connections and we use these numbers without even realizing it. Our connection to them, is inherent regardless of what level of numerical education we possess. Numbers are a metaphysical representation through which we intrepret both the physical and the spiritual. As Devlin says, it is a way we look at the world but also a way we reflect upon ourselves.
I think his study is particularly fascinating, specifically how he views his online class, which has thousands of students throughout the world as more personal than a lecture in a classroom. He says it is because he speaks more directly to the student who must tune in online and see his lecture rather than divide his attention and their through everyone in the classroom. I think this also applies to how he says our understanding of mathematical knowledge must catch up to our technoloy for to really appreciate the connections it makes between the way we are, the way others are, and the way the universe is. After all, through mathematics we can see the world through a lens, but also look at a mirror into ourselves.
Hello Krista and gang,
Hello Krista and gang,
I very much so enjoy your shows. I listen with enthusiasm. Podcasts allow me to listen out of order and here i am in 2014 listening to this conversation on Math. I would challenge you Krista to re-evaluate your understanding of your inability to do math. As white women we were told to be nurses, teachers and wives until the mid 80's in urban centers and likely mid 90's in rural. Middle class girls were fostered into quiet activities like reading and writing journals. Boys into athletics and certainly we were surrounded by white male faces in math, science and chemistry.
That like anything else takes generations to undo.
How would you know if you were good at math?

We can all agree that Garrett Popcorn is "Priceless," which is exactly why we teamed up with MasterCard to treat our lovely friends in Chicago along Michigan Avenue last week.
We teamed up with MasterCard to share our Handcrafted Happiness in Chicago last week as part of the MasterCard Priceless Chicago event on the Magnificent Mile!
For an hour each day, we surprised MasterCard customers on Michigan Avenue with a complimentary Bag of our Garrett Mix. Our fans were thrilled to be treated with a complimentary snack as they strolled down the Magnificent Mile. Customers also received a complimentary upgrade from a Medium Bag to a Large Bag when they visited a Garrett Popcorn Shop – truly a PRICELESS experience!
If you weren't able to join us last week, remember that you can visit one of our Shops or order on our new website to have your own PRICELESS experience any day of the week!

Skip to comments.Barack makes a fool of Michelle in public
Posted on 08/14/2013 7:33:59 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic
click here to read article
One of the songs on that album is titled "Pass The Rock". I'm still trying to find out if that is simply a remake of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "Constipation Blues".
You are the only one, Mr. Lifson!
It's bad enough when an ordinary husband makes his wife look like a fool in public, but when the husband is the most visible man in America, the sting is all the more intense.
WHAT IF........... Barry and Michele ARE FOOLS!?..
They making either of them look like fools is just THE TRUTH!..
Is she smiling in that picture? I can't tell.
BTW I wonder if we will ever have a president and first lady who have the interests of all Americans at heart, not just the segment they most closely relate to personally or politically.
Slow news day?
He will need Secret Service protection.
It's impossible to MAKE a fool out of her, she IS a FOOL, just remember all her comments!!!
Idiotic premise.
I'm sure we have better things to contrive.
The most recent example that comes to mind is George and Laura.
They definitely are fools, in the biblical sense.
They are obviously humanists, because they think they have the answers in their superior human capacity.
Yup! DC is on vacay.
Makes her a fool?
You can't go to Arkansas when you're in Arkansas.
Ya think?
I'm with you on this one.
This article needs a GAG alert! Whole thing makes me gag - the author must have forgotten how many times the mooch has been photographed eating fried foods herself.
If majority of people in poverty are black, why are majority of obese kids black? Must be that government cheese.
Seems to me they both compete actively to see who will make the biggest fool of themselves.
Sorry, libs, your your president and wife-wench are losers...big losers...supreme losers.
They have no class, no intelligence, no morals, and no ability to do anything.
Put Clarance Thomas/Walter Williams/Thomas Sowell/Condi Rice there if you want intelligence, style, and class.
Wait, I thought they were starving. She wants to build more grocery stores in their food desert neighborhoods which will increase their obesity. Maybe she should crack down on schools in their neighborhoods from feeding them free meals during the school year and throughout the summer.
jwhy is anyone surprised? empathy??? not at all...this is what you get when you try to run other peoples lives
Thomas Lifson thinks that because Barry ordered "fried shrimp, fried oysters, onion rings and french fries" that this is public humiliation for Moochelle .... and he feels sorry for her? Surely he jests and this is satire.
Barry's 'vacation diet' is no more than "do what we say, not what we do" ..... sort of like Congress exempting itself from Obamacare. Barry and the Mooch are exempted from the dietary guidelines they are trying to impose on the sheeple. Last time I looked, school districts were incurring vasts amounts of expense and wasted food because the kids won't eat what Mooch says they should eat .... plus they are hungry all the time. Also, the latest "musical/dance" foray by Mooch is nothing more than self-agrandizement ... just like Barry, any excuse to hobnob with the 'popular peeps' and get your mug in front of a camera.
Damn. She gonna make him pay fo dat.
I don't think Michelle needs Barry to embarrass her, she does a great job of making a fool of herself all by herself.
I am having a hard time understanding why a toothpick of a potus eating something fattening would make Moochelle mad and embarrass her...
Seems like a made up curfuffle.....
This writer is a moron. Bozo is on vacation, let him have his onion rings. To equate that with making a "fool" out of his wife is a ridiculous stretch. I really can't stand food nazi's, especially when they force ME to have empathy for Obama.
Kidney stones???
Even "toothpicks" can have health issues from bad eating and/or hereditary. My FIL and his 7 siblings all were/are thin and all had high cholesterol.
But I do know what you are trying to say. :)
I wouldn't worry about Barry having a heart attack though, he doesn't have a heart.
Didn't ABC's "Racial Politics Expert" Julianne Malveaux wish a death from heart disease on Justice Clarence Thomas?
On November 4, 1994, Malveaux famously stated of Supreme Court Justice Thomas: "I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease....He is an absolutely reprehensible person."
He prefers the passive-aggressive attack mode when he deals with Congress. I wonder if this is a passive-aggressive "up yours" to the mrs.
LOL "the bad groceries"
How is it that a slim man with a chunky wife is humiliating her when he eats whatever he wants?
What I do care about is her insinuation into everyone else's children's diets. That is an outrage which should never be tolerated.
Michelle Obama is a pig feeding at any free trough she can find. It shows. And We The People are paying for it.
Every time I see a picture of her, I spontaneously start playing the theme song to "The Jeffersons" in my head. I honestly don't know where it came from and I'm not trying to do it. It just happens. Every time.
Seems like a made up curfuffle.....
When I read what you posted a light bulb clicked on. I wonder if this troubling times Paula Dean is in is a result of her making that statement about Moochelle. Leftists always want revenge.
"a hip-hop song recorded to encourage kids from minority groups to take care of their bodies."
White kids, on the other hand, can just eat dirt and die.
Yeah, that has been the theory of some people since it happened - Dean commented on Michelle's eating habit back stage and Michelle was enraged.
So Val is the one?.
How is it possible that anyone can feel "sorry" for these communists as they attempt to destroy America? These losers should be in prison.
Attempt hell! With the help of the Republican Party and main stream media, they are doing a damn good job of it.
AFAICT Hussein has two and only two redeemable qualities.
I believe he truly loves his daughters. And he's not exactly obese.
Honestly, he could afford to put on a pound or two. So what if he eats fried oysters? Aren't we overthinking this just a bit?

Japanese Technology from the Future Friday!
This week it's Mt.

quote zzsilencezzActually there are no '3D PC version'. In point of fact, I don't think any PC game has a specific 3D version of a game. It's built into the software whether it works well with 3D vision (or other 3D solutions) or not. Crysis 2, for example, has a whole 3D options menu with a variety of vision solutions.I haven't been on neo for the last couple of days and I come back to see that there is a 3D PC version. Wow what a couple of days makes to the gaming world! :D
