I have an alexandrite gemstone given to me by a friend. That's my wife's favorite gem and her birthstone, so it has some sentimental value. The stone is almost the size of a dime in diameter, with a round brilliant cut.

Unfortunately, there is a crack on the edge that you can see from the top view.

What can I do with this alexandrite? I've tried a few stores in Milwaukee and I've gotten some different answers, mostly that they don't do that kind of thing.

We have been married for 10 years and we have 6 kids together. We are both members of the same church, but I live the standards and he doesn't. He comes to church once in a while, but comes back home and sets a poor example for the kids. My oldest daughter knows right from wrong and she sees what he is doing.

He is a good dad other than the example he sets, but our marriage is really not very good. He has no respect for me and the amount of work I do. He even uses my toothbrush and razor! I have asked him several times not to, but he just doesn't care. I am starting to realize that the way that he treats me is the ways my sons will treat their wives and what my daughters will expect from their husbands.

We've been through counseling and it works temporarily, but he always goes back to his old ways. Is this just who he is and he pretends to be someone else for awhile? Am I crazy to think that it's better to seperate than keep fighting?

I have had depression all my life--well, as long as I remember. I am doing much better with meds and therapy, but I still tend to think in those same patterns. Now, I catch myself. Do these patterns ever go away altogether?

I was recently new to soccer , and today in practice I picked up being Goalie. It was real fun ! Funner than any other position (for me) , and I blocked about 4 shots. This Saturday though I have a game and I'm going to ask my coach to be goalie (because our current goalie doesn't even show up to practices or doesn't take it seriously) . What should I Learn until then ? Anything to help me become fearless ,help me dive better , or just basic fundementals ? What supplies do I need ?

Thanks

During the Middle Ages, the clergy had tremendous secular power. Why, popes were able to crown and dethrone kings! In 800 C.E., Pope Leo III crowned the Frankish king Charlemagne as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. For a thousand years, this empire represented the union of Church and State, and during that time the clergy enjoyed varying degrees of power over secular authorities.

Beginning in the 11th century, the papacy took over the role of leader in Europe. In this regard, The Columbia History of the World, edited by John Garraty and Peter Gay, says: “The church was Europe’s greatest government.” This book also observes that the church was able to “wield more political power than any other Western government.” What was the situation of the people under clergy rule?

No one was free to worship as he pleased or to express opinions conflicting with those of the clergy. This clerical intolerance created a climate of fear throughout Europe. The church established the Inquisition to root out individuals who dared to hold different views. Considered heretics, they were brought before inquisitors, who tortured them for confessions. Often, those found guilty were burned at the stake.

Regarding clergy rule in Spain, The Columbia History of the World states: “Wars and the crusading ideology had welded together an orthodox and snobbish aristocracy and clergy which held all the reins of power in the state. Intellectual life had been crippled by censorship and the Inquisition, which had been used against anyone protesting against either official theology or state policy.”

In his book The Age of Faith, Will Durant said: “Making every allowance required of an historian and permitted to a Christian, we must rank the Inquisition, along with the wars and persecutions of our time, as among the darkest blots on the record of mankind, revealing a ferocity unknown in any beast.” In the Middle Ages, clergy rule meant the destruction of personal liberties.

Did the Protestant reformer John Calvin differ from the Catholic clergy? Well, consider what happened when Michael Servetus fled from persecution by the Spanish clergy and was apprehended in Geneva, Switzerland. There, Calvin had set up a community over which he and his ministers ruled with absolute power. Because Servetus denied the Trinity, Calvin achieved what had eluded the Inquisition. Servetus was condemned to death for heresy and was burned at the stake. Calvin thus showed the same intolerance as the Catholic clergy.

Did clergy domination of secular governments mean peace for the people of Europe? No, indeed. Instead of enjoying peace, they had to endure years of clergy-inspired warfare. Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade and thus began a series of wars that lasted for 200 years. Moreover, clergy-fomented wars against people considered to be heretics resulted in the death of thousands of men, women, and children.

Did clergy rule eliminate corruption? Not in the least. The book A History of the Modern World, by R. R. Palmer and Joel Colton, states: “Increasingly the life of the church was corrupted by money. No one believed in bribery; but everyone knew that many high churchmen (like many high civil officials of the day) could be bribed.” Corruption among the clergy was a common complaint.

Did clergy rule result in compassion for the common people? By no means. For instance, consider what happened when Cardinal Richelieu of France gained control of governmental affairs during the reign of Louis XIII. The book The History of the Nations, edited by Henry Cabot Lodge, says that Richelieu’s “policy was based on the ruin of the French liberties.”

In Mexico during the 17th century, Indian towns were often ruled by the clergy. According to the book Many Mexicos, by Lesley Simpson, the clergy considered the whipping post “an indispensable aid for implanting and maintaining the Christian virtues, as well as for the punishment of secular offenses.”

History books thus enable us to examine the record of clergy rule over the centuries. What does that record reveal? Shocking disregard for the happiness, well-being, and liberties of the common people. Indeed, clergy rule has been unendurable despotism. As Daniel Defoe wrote in his work The True-Born Englishman: “And of all plagues with which mankind are curst, ecclesiastic tyranny’s the worst.”

Obviously, then, clergy rule is not the answer to man’s need for better government. So, to whom can we turn? The answer is within the reach of everyone, as we shall see.

I'm just bored and decided to ask a random question. For me, I run and walk...that's about it. Except, lately I haven't been doing too much activity. The other day I almost fainted/past out while I was running, so it might be a couple of weeks til I actually stop being so scared to ever run again :-p
