The goal of this qualitative 2-year study was to examine the resilience building process in four novice secondary science teachers and its link to teacher retention. To achieve the research goal, a resilience framework was established. Three factors were instrumental in creating the framework. The first focused on stressors and protective factors in the lives of novice secondary science teachers and provided direction and goals for the research. Second, a case study was developed for each of the four teachers participating in the research in order to emphasize the detailed analysis of factors linked to resilience. Finally, cross-case analysis was employed to identify similarities and differences and provide insight into issues concerning the resilience process. Results of this study suggest that the interaction between stressors and protective factors acts as a primary force in the resilience process and stimulate responses to help counteract negative effects of resulting stress. Therefore, it can be reasoned that resilience can be fostered in novice teachers as a means to encourage teacher retention.

Kevin Deckard didn't have a pat answer to the "why" question for his Westover Fellowship congregation the morning after Rick Husband and six other Columbia astronauts disappeared over Texas.
But Deckard, who attended Crockett Junior High and Polk Street United Methodist Church Sunday school with Husband, borrowed something from his friend to try to put this tragedy into perspective.
"I had noticed that on everything he autographs, he always writes a Scripture reference," Deckard recalled. "And most of the time it's Proverbs 3:5-6, which is 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.' "
Deckard read those verses in church 29 hours after Columbia broke up. "In my own understanding, I can't figure that out - why that was Rick's time to go, along with the other six," he said. "But that's the whole thing. Just trust in God and his plan, and his ways are so much beyond our comprehension.
"I don't believe God causes all the things that happen. But I think he works in everything that happens. Could he have prevented it? Sure. But he does let things happen.
"I don't understand it personally. But I always see, when something like that happens, how people are impacted for God possibly even more. I just see God always working in those situations."
The Westover pastor knew Husband in junior high as "a very humble, very quiet person, just one of those good kids who never caused any trouble." He said Husband had a humble attitude toward teachers, so he was surprised years later when he found out his former classmate was flying sophisticated aircraft.
"That's what always threw me off, when he became an Air Force pilot and doing all that he did," Deckard said. "My image of those guys was always real cocky, brash. But that wasn't Rick at all. So he just showed me you don't have to be that way to become what he became."
Deckard had lost touch with Husband until a 1995 Amarillo High-Tascosa school reunion and then in 2000, when the pastor saw the now-veteran space traveler's video testimony at Franklin Graham's Festival 2000 at Dick Bivins Stadium.
"I wrote him a letter and told him how it impacted me and other people that were there, so we kind of started back in a conversation again," he said.
Husband sent autographed photos to Deckard's sons, and by the time of this year's liftoff, Deckard and his wife, Becky, found themselves at Cape Canaveral as guests of the astronaut. They also attended a reception for family and friends the previous day at Calvary Chapel on Merritt Island.
"Rick couldn't be there, because he was in quarantine," Deckard said. "But it was a praise and worship service, basically. Just a lot of prayer." Rick and Evelyn Husband's Houston paster, Steve Riggle of Grace Community Church, attended. So did well-known Christian Jew Zola Levitt, who prayed a blessing for Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon.
"It wasn't your cake-and-coffee reception," Dekcard recalled. "The focus was on the Lord."
In a video message to the group, Husband quoted Psalms 37:4: "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." The Columbia commander said that after three unsuccessful tries to enter the space program, he had concentrated on the Psalms verse and had told God his desire was to be an astronaut.
After realizing that wasn't what God wanted to hear, Husband had continued praying and said, "I guess the real desire of my heart is to please you, Lord, and to be a good dad and a good husband and to witness for the Lord."
Husband sent in his fourth application and was accepted.
Those gathered for the start of the mission on a sunny Jan. 16 could hear Husband's voice on a loudspeaker from Columbia: "The Lord has blessed us with a prefect day." "It was just him," Deckard said. "Whatever he was doing, he would just put his faith into action. He would articulate it."
At the Jan. 15 reception, Christian recording artist Steve Green sang words that Deckard thinks were just right for the launch:
"Lord of all creation, of water, earth and sky, The heavens are your tabernacle, glory to the Lord on high. God of Wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy, The universe declares your majesty."
Just Wondering
Just wondering whether it's possible to change the name of Amarillo International Airport to Rick Husband International Airport of Amarillo.

Should you publish another article that advocates the use of an illegal drug - even for medicinal purposes your relationship with my blog is terminated.
Advocate marijuana use on your own blogs and websites. You send that to mine we're done.
The medical marijuana business is corrupt. I've seen enough news reports to have established that for myself. All this article did was put a happy face on the use of marijuana in cooking.
Do NOT do it again.

I had to change the username on my host - the domain name etc. stayed the same.
I changed the db name, user and passwd in the config file, and updated the options table in the database.
But I am still getting am still getting an openbasedir error instead of my blog. The blog is installed on a subdomain, on which a testfile works just fine.
I am comfortable with php, but am new to WP, so don't know my way arounf all the files and directories yet. Can someone point me in the direction of the file that is looking is pointing to the old path? Any ideas on how to fix it?
The error reads as follows:
Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/myusername/public_html/dir/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/myoldusername:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

Incidentally, i'm not really thrilled about the full path being disclosed when I've just changed things. Yuck. </venting>

Embedded Maintainer for Linux Kernel Wanted
Andrew Morton, the Linux Kernel 2.6 maintainer announced last week at the Embedded Linux Conference in Mountain View that he is looking for an architecture-independent embedded specialist.
The candidate will take over the full time job as the embedded maintainer and thus liaise between the developer community and the kernel maintainers.
To let the future maintainer know what they are letting themselves in for, Morton talked about the kernel selection process, how the kernel community supports it, and how new code enters the kernel mainline. Morton has been looking for an embedded maintainer for six months now, and time seems to be running out, with the number of kernel developers and lines of modified code rising continuously. Embedded devices with Linux are becoming increasingly popular, and this is why, says Morton, somebody has to take care of the kernel's embedded branch.
Right now, the kernel developers are doing their best for embedded Linux users to bridge the technical divide between mobile devices and server or desktop computers, but things "can and do break", says Morton. In this case, he needs somebody capable of mitigating the damage. If you are interested in the job, please contact Andrew Morton.

The monarch named General Fayadh bin Hamed al-Rowaili to succeed him, the agency added.
In April, the deputy defence minister, Prince Khaled bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, a member of the royal family who played a key role in the 1991 Gulf War over Kuwait, was also dismissed by royal decree.
Again, no explanation was given for the move.

LATROBE, Pa. (April 7, 2014) Cellist Yo-Yo Ma will receive the first Fred Rogers Legacy Award, which is named for the late creator and host of the public television show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
Ma was a guest on the show and became friends with Rogers.
The TV icon's legacy continues at the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media at St. Vincent College near Latrobe, Rogers' hometown about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Karen Strubel Myers, the center's director of development, says the award recognizes meritorious and charitable work.
Ma is being honored, among other reasons, for his Silk Road Project, which seeks to promote cultural and artistic studies linked to the trade route of the same name.
Ma will give a recital after accepting the award on May 23 at a ceremony in the St. Vincent Basilica.

Southeastern Railway Museum Receives TEA-21 Grant
The Southeastern Railway Museum was approved June 30 to receive $648,000 in funding from the federal TEA-21 program. TEA-21 (Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century) was enacted in 1998 to replace ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991).
The $648,000 represents 80% of an $810,000 project to continue converting the museum's primary public building into an exhibition hall.
The 28,618SF building was used for many years as a manufacturing and repair facility for tanks (both for rail and non-rail use) and for stationary boilers. It is part of a donation received in 1997 which includes 30 acres and two other buildings.
SRM volunteers have already removed old conduit and pipes from the building's interior, and a project to install a new electrical system is nearing completion. Outside contractors have fenced the site, renovated an employees' locker area into public restrooms, and replaced much of the exterior metal shell. While site grading - including the installation of water and sewer lines - gets underway, museum volunteers will begin laying track inside the building and preparing the exhibits, to include two locomotives and four passenger cars. (see On Exhibit - The Golden Age of Rail for details)
The TEA-21 funds will allow Phase II and Phase III exhibition hall expansion projects to begin much sooner than originally planned. These phases include the addition of an audio-visual room, production of a brief "introductory" film for museum visitors, construction of an ADA ramp to provide viewing areas for the interiors of the historic rolling stock, and additional exhibits designed to increase public knowledge of transportation history and transportation options.
TEA-21 programs and funding are administered by each individual state; in Georgia, the governing authority is the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Funding for transportation history museums is a new category for fiscal year 2000, which begins October 1. Transportation museums fall under the broader category of "Historic Resources Projects." All projects within this category must be directly tied to structures or objects which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places; in the case of SRM, the recent listing of the Superb made this project eligible. (more information)
TEA-21 ranking criteria for transportation museum projects are: (a) permanence of the project, (b) relationship to a National Register listed transportation building, object, or structure, (c) impact on educating the public about transportation history, (d) ability to maintain and operate the facility, (e) level of community and statewide support, and (f) quality of the project.
To receive TEA-21 funds, a private non-profit corporation must be sponsored by a governmental agency. SRM's application was sponsored by Gwinnett County.
TEA-21 is not a grant program, but an 80/20 reimbursement program. The Atlanta NRHS and the Southeastern Railway Museum will be responsible for providing 20% of the project cost: $162,000.

Here's The One Upside To Not Getting The New Han Solo Role
The beloved Gilmore Girls will finally return to television on Nov. 25 - and it might not be for the last time.
Action! Adventure! Escape! If you were an 11-year-old boy in 1981 you longed to be Indiana Jones and the summer of 1981 was spent closing your eyes pretending the frayed jump-rope in your hand was a bullwhip, reimagining your flat, faceless, suburban surroundings as a forbidden, exotic jungle and that an abandoned 7-11 Slurpee cup was an ancient religious artifact as the soaring John Williams "Raiders" score ping-ponged from the back of your mind to the front of it.
With the premiere episode of Starz's hit show Power drawing a total audience of 2.26 million, in it's new Sunday night slot, Omari Hardwick's leading man status just got cemented. As if it was ever a question in the minds of fans that remember the star from Ava DuVernay's Middle of Nowhere, BET's Being Mary Jane, Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls and Spike Lee's Miracle At St. Anna.
Dramatic necessity is usually the culprit when a memoir or true story dices itself up and stitches itself back together in acts, scenes and close-ups for television or movies. Here's 10 things from the show that, surprisingly enough, occur every day in modern correctional facilities.
When disability is a storyline, a rare feat in itself, it's often a tragic plot point or sensationalized heroism. Even more troublesome, the character is usually portrayed by an actor without a disability.
"If you want rock 'n' roll, you're gonna have to shut up and wait for it," he said angrily to a fan who'd shouted something like "rock 'n' roll!" after Henley unleashed a string of mellow numbers, including a Garth Brooks tune, mid-set on July 23rd.
"Tiger" is just one reworked track written by Peterik featured on The Songs, a crowdfunded project for which Jim's most loyal fans selected their nine favorite tunes from a group of 16, and Peterik wrote and recorded two new songs, rounding out the album with 11 tracks you need to hear now.
I salute this game for doing what no parent or gym class has been able to do. Pokémon Go has gotten kids, and even adults, off their butts and has them running around 24/7 collecting various mythic icons on their phones.

Before Hurricane Sandy, Margaret Aune had a view from her small house in Misquamicut of a 30-foot-high dune across the street, a wall of sand between her and the ocean.
After Sandy, Aune had a sweeping new view of the water.
The sand dune that once blocked her view is more than half gone, some of it swept up Aune's driveway and into her basement. There was so much sand in her yard, it cost more than $5,000 to have it trucked away.
Indeed, after Sandy there was sand all over this beachfront community in Westerly, in places where it isn't supposed to be, including several feet of it across the main road through town.
This week, all that sand was being collected, stored, processed and cleaned at the big parking lots of the state beach, in preparation to possibly put it back where it came from.
The rest of Misquamicut, which took about the biggest Sandy hit of any shoreline community in southern Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut, is in transition back to normal.
Some of the buildings that floated off their pilings and down the street have been moved out of the way. There is a high and long pile of debris - a wall, really - along every road: old furniture, appliances, soggy mattresses and splintered lumber.
Volunteers are working side by side with homeowners at the cleanup. Contractor trucks are everywhere.
So many rubberneckers cruise through town these days, storm damage tourists, it's almost looks like a Sunday in July.
A town-endorsed ecumenical service to "Bless our Beach" is being planned for noon Nov. 24 at the St. Clare Church Parish Hall, when all the church bells in town will ring.
Businesses have been working to put out the word that, no matter what people have heard, Misquamicut is still in place and will open on schedule for another summer season, when hopefully the only sand you see will be on the beach.
Aune told me that people suggest she must be happy that she suddenly has a clear view of the ocean.
"Everyone says it must be great," she said. "Well, it's not really. The water is too close."
Aune, who lives most of the year in Westchester County in New York, is considering selling the house she has owned since 1998 and moving farther away from the water.
It seems like evacuation orders and storm damage are becoming too common, said Aune, who added that the arrival of a second storm last week, on the heels of Sandy, was "creepy." Last year it was Irene.
A new water view might be the silver lining in the cloud of more storms on the horizon. But Aune is not taking any solace in it.
"The weather patterns have changed," she told me, after showing off the water mark in her basement that demonstrates how high the water rose, close to the ceiling. "We are going to have more of this."
I think she may be right.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

We wish an expedient and entertainig reading. In case you need any further information we will be pleased to help.
A study including three researchers at the Hamburger Sternwarte (F. Vazza, M. Brüggen and J. Liske) have discovered a strong connection between the properties of the cosmic gas filling the largest filaments of the cosmic web and the galaxy population they host. In a recent paper by Claudio Gheller from the CSCS Computing Centre of Lugano (Switzerland), soon to be published by MNRAS (http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.01406), the largest cosmological simulations of magnetic fields and the very deep optical and infrared survey GAMA have been combined to study the statistical relation between the real galaxies and of their simulated counterparts. The study found that the average number of galaxies per cosmic filament of a given length is...

As part of an ongoing effort to encourage diversity awareness within the NIC community, the 2014/16 academic year will be dedicated to addressing socioeconomic inequality through the theme: The Reality of Poverty, An Exploration of Socioeconomic Diversity.
The Reality of Poverty: An Exploration of Socioeconomic Diversity
Poverty, which leads to social inequality, is an issue related to diversity. Creating a campus wide theme to provide education concerning the structural causes of poverty promotes an understanding of diverse populations. The NIC student population and larger community of North Idaho experience poverty at concerning levels. Those experiencing poverty face multiple disadvantages which ultimately impact their life chances, particularly their ability to be successful in college. The poor in our society generally face marginalization as the causes of poverty are misunderstood. The outcome is that social inequality increases and communities become more polarized and disengaged.
The common theme for 2016/2018 is Exploring Racial and Ethnic Diversity
The Ad Hoc Common Read Committee is happy to announce the selection of the new common read for the 2016-2018 academic year: Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, by Bryan Stevenson. Just Mercy is the common read at roughly 19 colleges and universities including WSU this year. For more information, contact Maureen Steinel, firstname.lastname@example.com or Holly Edwards, email@example.com.
Just Mercy Flyer [PDF]
NIC students and employees were given the opportunity to meet Bryan Stevenson and attend his lecture at WSU on Tuesday, Dec.1. Just Mercy is the common read this year at WSU and will be the common read at NIC starting Fall 2016. It was an amazing opportunity for those of us who were able to attend. We would like to thank the following groups for their support: ASNIC, The Sociology Club, The Diversity Council, and Cardinal Reads.

I've bought a new stove which is supposed to be auto ignition. If I turn on the gas and turn the knob thing, a flame flickers underneath but the stove doesn't light, I have to use a lighter to light it.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
A couple of things. First, you just bought it, it surely came with a manual, you should check there to make sure you're doing it right.
In general there are a couple of things that come to mind:
What type of ignition switch is it? Some of these are run by a spark plug and/or a battery. Does yours have this? and have you checked to make sure those are firing correctly?
Even still you should be able to leave the gas off and look for a spark.
My experience with the modern home appliance gas stoves is that all the parts that constitute the heating area disassemble easily. This includes the burners.
When I've had problems with burners not lighting, it has always been:
Note: Am including information for both electronic (spark) ignition and pilot ignition stoves.
So, all that being said, your statement that "a flame flickers underneath but the stove doesn't light" leads me to the conclusion that the burner body(s) are slightly misaligned, allowing combustible gas to leak out at the bottom of the burner assembly - or, that the pilot light or spark electrode is misaligned.
Take one burner apart; if it is a simple matter of lifting the parts off (which it should be, as they do need to be cleaned and the spilled food dug out of the gas ports occasionally) and get to know how it fits together. If all is well there, check the ignition source for location in the proper place to ignite the combustion gas coming out of the burner in the proper place.
*Press the knob and start moving the knob(while it is kept pressed by you) towards the position where the ignition flame flickers
*but stop the knob movement for sometime(3 to 45 seconds) just before the knob reaches that position.
*The knob must still be held pressed in the interval(3 to 45 seconds) during which its movement was stopped.
*Now move the knob exactly to the position where the ignition flame flickers.The stove will certainly light as you have allowed much gas flow towards the burner before the ignition flame flickers.
*Leave the knob.
Note:The stopping/holding of the knob for 3 to 45 seconds is done for the flow of much gas towards the burner you want to light.This interval may be exceeded a little but please understand that the presence of large number of gas particles in the kitchen is dangerous when you are going to ignite.

Skip to comments.Common Atheists' Myths
Posted on 12/20/2010 10:32:51 AM PST by truthfinder9
I know that Christians are supposed to be the ones who believe a lot of myths. However, the vast majority of atheists believe myths such as religion is the primary cause of wars, and the vast amount of atrocities have been caused by religious people, the Bible has been vastly changed over the centuries, Paul invented Christianity, and the list goes on and on. Find your favorite myth below and read the article so that you won't embarrass yourself in the future.
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
If God does not exist, why the hell are the atheist libs so worried about him? Why do they feel the need to have faith in God banned in the United States?
Because they are smarter than you and know what is best for you.
Common Atheists' Myths = there is no GOD.
I watched a debate between a theist and atheist before and the atheist admitted that it took faith to be an atheist because they were never able to prove scientifically that there is no God.
Also, it is extremely ignorant, according to all scientific evidence, to think that something can be created from nothing.....That there is not a supernatural existence at the beginning of time.
They want God eliminated so there is no good and evil. They can be pederasts like before the advent of Judaism and Christianity and no one will have reason to believe that what they do is evil. They want to recreate the pagan days of Greece and Rome. There was no sexual morality then.
The sins of the flesh create slaves easily controlled by the state. The elites, pushing Marxist atheism will be able to control the world. Utopia will exist for only the few, until they face death, when their ugly vision is proven to be false. There can never be utopia on earth because of the nature of man.
If find it comforting that none of the twelve Apostles ever renounced Jesus Christ or the fact of his Resurrection.
Before I would read any of this...or take any of it seriously...I'll need a working definition of "God".
These are concocted atheists myths. Whats the phrase,,,,,,,,,,,,'straw something or other'. Even this atheist/agnostic/humanist sees this is garbage.
Christianity is fine, Islam,,,,,,,,, not so much.
Absolutely Sweet Marie
Bob Dylan
Agreed. Goes either ways.
All I get when I click on the link is The requested document does not exist on this server.
That is the core of Athiest belief.
Ping to self
Except for this one...The Universe Just Happened Without Any Need For a Designer -
That is the core of Athiest belief.
Guilty as charged and my bad as I did not read every miniscule entry because they all looked inflammatory in nature.
Now we could get into a discussion/purpose of the universe's creation but it would be pointless. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh as is the universe. Couldn't pass that one up :<))))))
Not all athiest are leftist and not all athiest think religion is bad, however, an athiest gets tired of religious folks, just like homosexuals, pushing their beliefs on people that don't care to listen to them. Contrary to popular belief, many athiest have high moral standards and compasion towards their fellow human beings.Religion should be taught at home or in your church, not in a public school.All religions are cults to one degree or another, hence the word culture.Those that holler the loudest about their religion being the true way are usually the ones that have a deep conflict about their faith.Faith is just what it says, a belief in something that can never be proven or disproven other than by your belief. If you believe the bible then that is YOUR proof,don't expect a non believer to accept your idea of the truth.
All buses are used to one degree or another, hence the word use.
I'd hate to see your take on the etymology of "Schwarzenegger."
If the Universe is pointless then so is life, so is morality, so is the concept of good and evil. If you are ok with that then at least you are an honest Athiest. However, some of the most reknowned Athiests in history have expressed outrage at what they perceived as evil, most notably Carly Marx, Jean Claude van Sartre and even Dickie Dawkins. Silly boys, they want it both ways...oh well.
If the Universe is pointless then so is life, so is morality, so is the concept of good and evil.
Get carried away much??
No,,,, life is fortunate. I thanked my mother countless times. But I suppose 'intelligent life' is what you might be referring to and to use a truly pointless phrase we should thank our lucky stars.. God, I can keep this up all day. :<)))
Yes, there are militant atheists out there who just love to stomp on the nativity scene, take the crucifix off the city seal, and muffle the Christmas choir.
But for each of those there are ten or a hundred atheists like me, who simply find the supernatural to be a closed book to them, and who quietly and inoffensively go their unbelieving ways.
I would not be surprised to find that there are a few of them sitting in the pews at your church.
God has permitted many of the apologetics links in your post to end up in 404 errors. I think He's trying to tell you something...
Another problem is that you can't have an entity create something without the entity itself being under the realm of time. Without time, eternity and an instant are one and the same, and all that happened and all that will happen, have already happened.
If a said entity has a definite moment when it creates something, then that entity, out of all eternity, underwent something that caused it to create - and that cause puts the entity under the bounds of time.
In other words, who created the creator? If no one, then why did the creator create only at a particular moment out of an infinite sea of time called eternity?
Fortunate for you as you have chosen to see it that way, but still pointless within the Atheist umbrella anyway. Same with Atheist morality. There is no absolute good and evil, only that which individuals choose as good and evil. And so Hitler, Stalin, and Mao just simply made different choices than say Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams, within the Atheist umbrella. If you are ok with that, then, again, at least you are an honest Atheist.
Speaking of Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams, what a kooky idea they had when they declared that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Kooky at least, under the Atheist umbrella anyway.
Agree completely.
People are the cause of most of the world's problems. People will do bad things, whether for religious or any other motive. Religion can create conflicts that people choose to solve by horrendous means, see for example the Catholic/Protestant fun in England. However, that doesn't mean anything else wouldn't have sufficed as the excuse for the power struggles.
In fact, atheists have been responsible for most of it within the last 100 years.
Note limiting it to the last 100 years. This is basically the period after religions lost their hold on state power. Bad guys in power like to kill people, it's a basic fact. After religion lost power, it was no longer religious bad guys doing the killing.
Certainly American statesmen who grew up in that tradition have been far better stewards of liberty than have been Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.
But personally, I have never experienced even the faintest hint of anything supernatural in my 50+ years.
So even though the Christian religion has been a beneficial thing on balance, I find no indications that it is true.
Here you are trying to define what an athiest is. That would be like a baptist,catholic,lutheran,morman,protestant,methodist,muslim, hindu bhudist etc, trying to define what a chritian is.You do not know, you can only speculate.Thats like a nonsmoker that has never smoked trying to understand why a smoker won't quit.
... hence, the word uncultured, lol.
Athiests define themselves, they profess a lack of belief in God. After that though, things get more complicated because they have a difficult time accepting the logical consequences of that lack of belief. The fact is, without a personal God who establishes absolute morality, its all simply personal choice.
The fact is, without a personal God who establishes absolute morality, its all simply personal choice......................................................................................That might be a better alternative then belonging to a cult!
That you believe that Christianity has been beneficial, means you have an idea of what things should be rather than what they are. This is the core of the Christian concept of the Fall of Man. Go with that, expand on it, dig into it. C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" and "The Problem of Pain" go into great detail on that conflict.
Whatsamatter, did the definition of cult and culture upset your balance?
Actually, I have read them both. You would probably be surprised to learn how many books of apologetics I have read. Probably more than books by atheists, I think.
one thing he comes back to again and again in his writing is "what we must answer is not whether Christianity makes you a better person (clearly, sometimes, it does not) but whether or not it is true."
Whether Stalin was or was not a better person than Washington (was Torquemada a better person than the Dalai Lama??) is really not relevant to the question of whether Christianity is true.
If atheism is true then there is no such thing as "moral standards" because there is no objective basis for morals or "right and wrong". There is only personal preference and social convention, both of which are relative and purely subjective. Without God the normative becomes the personal.
Your unintentionally hilarious admission that you're uncultured nearly made me fall out of my chair, if that's what you mean.
f atheism is true then there is no such thing as "moral standards" because there is no objective basis for morals or "right and wrong". There is only personal preference and social convention, both of which are relative and purely subjective. Without God the normative becomes the personal.
Me biting my tongue till the blood runs outta the corner of the mouth. This is pure bilge to put it mildly. Its OK till the piousness spills over.
"I am so much 'gooder' than thou". Pleeeeeezzzzzzzzz!!!
None of that has anything at all to do with my post. I wasn't judging anything or asserting any understanding of the universe. You completely avoid the point I raised. You said atheists can have high moral standards and I pointed out that is impossible if there is no God because objective morals are impossible without a God. I note atheists almost always avoid addressing this point because they can't.
To whos standard? Yours?Would it be incorrect to say for instance Greek culture is surrounded by the cult of Greek mythology? Since the cult of Greek mythology influnced Greek culture. Play all the word games you like if you think it makes you feel more cultured.
Then please enlighten me, what is the objective basis for "morals" without God. Nobody has ever been able to answer the question before but maybe you'll be the first. I anxiously await the response.
I pointed out that is impossible if there is no God because objective morals are impossible without a God..........................................................................See, that is your opinion and belief, that does not make it a fact except in your own mind.
You don't even understand the question at issue. Being religious doesn't make anyone any "gooder" than anyone else. It does, however, provide an objective standard to define something as good or bad. Atheism doesn't.
No, by definition "moral" presupposes a normative standard. That's simple logic. It is the exact opposite of "opinion". Now please tell me where this standard comes from if there is no God. Don't dodge the question.
Such an interesting person you are.
Yes, exactly, and conversely, many Atheists are "better" people than professing Christians, but this certainly is no indicator of the lack of truthfulness of Christianity as many anti-Christians are quick to believe. Of course, when we say "better" we have an idea in mind of a certain endpoint that is preferred and that the individuals we are referring to are more (better), or less (worse), in accordance with that endpoint. It is that endpoint that measures goodness over evilness. Hitlers, Stalin's, and Mao's "endpoint" obviously measures good and evil on a different standard. And we know for a fact that the propaganda campaigns that lead to the fascist and communist genocides painted the State's enemies as evil and justly deserving of torture and death.
So what standard are we going to live by? And is that standard simply a personal choice either adopted or invented by the individual, or does it originate with the Origin of everything?
I guess it could be stated that anyone in the Old Testament that was not a Hebrew was, in gods eye, an enemy of the Hebrew. ............ The standard we live by has changed and evolved over many thousands of years.Islams standard hasn't changed much in the last 700 hundred or so.Our standards have changed in the last 150 or so. 150 years ago taking a woman or girl to be your wife at the age of 14 was a moraly accepted practice, but not today.On the other hand , 150 years ago women dancing naked on a stage was not an accepted practice in this country, but prostitution was.
Then please enlighten me, what is the objective basis for "morals" without God. Nobody has ever been able to answer the question before but maybe you'll be the first. I anxiously await the response.
With your supposition that there is/must be a God it is obviously impossible to address your question. Later you said that a religion is 'required' to set moral standards. That is your 'belief', nothing more. Its unfortunate tho that implicitly you must believe that you can live a higher moral life than I. Hmmmmmm 'unfortunate' isn't the right word.

I'm quite new with facebooksdk, but I have a winform project in c# to perform simple status posting & photo upload using it.
So far so good with the SDK, however, what's the difference between FacebookClient.Post & FacebookClient.PostTaskAync?
I used the following code to post photo to my facebook account:
public static void uploadPhoto(string fPath, string userMsg, string imgType = "")
var fb = new FacebookClient(AccessToken);
if (imgType.Equals(""))
imgType = "image/jpeg";
using (var file = new FacebookMediaStream
ContentType = imgType,
FileName = Path.GetFileName(fPath)
dynamic result = fb.Post("me/photos",
new { message = userMsg, file });
But, when the file size is huge, the above method will "hang" my system as the main thread is still working, so I tried the following:
dynamic result = fb.PostTaskAsync("me/photos",
new { message = userMsg, file });
but it just doesn't work (at least the photo is not being uploaded to my fb account)...
What I want actually is to avoid the "hanging" feeling on my system, and I've even tried "Application.DoEvents()" but with NO luck.
Any suggestion to handle for this issue? Shall I use another Thread to handle this photo upload? Or?
Thanks for all the answers & comments.

Almost from the moment in 1988 when she introduced ready-to-wear into the family's luggage business, Miuccia Prada has captivated the fashion world. She retains an aura of mystery while brokering a unique balance between commercial powerhouse and cerebral artiste, often changing course 180 degrees from season to season—with a flock of followers in cumbersome pursuit.
This story first appeared in the November 1, 2010 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Since the archminimalism of her fall 1994 collection, which WWD said "made the world's supermodels look like Hitler's steno pool," Prada has investigated, among other motifs, futurism, geek chic and Granny's attic. She has celebrated bourgeois and haute style with equal conviction, and followed fall 2006's dissertation on urban carnage—"It's time to go back to the streets…, showing anger and being a little bit savage, to be ready for life"—with a springtime ode to the Forties pinup, framed by the heady sound bite that "beauty is a moral concept."
Recently, Prada has dealt with sexual themes, including last fall's quasi-classic focus on the bosom. Then, for spring, another flip, this time to "minimal Baroque," full of fun, fox stoles and a fanciful monkey print. "Since I was very young, I always wanted to be before the trend," Prada said last year. "Fashion, in that sense, is the last triumph of what's new, of what was not done before. That is interesting." Catch her if you can.

Ted S. Warren, Associated Press
JERSEY SHORE, Pa. — This small, central Pennsylvania river town doesn't have beach homes or boardwalks, but it shares more than a name with the famous stretch of New Jersey coastline 250 miles to the east.
Both are among the thousands of places around the U.S. where people could face trouble in the years ahead because of the rising cost of government-mandated flood insurance.
Earlier this month, Congress sought to ease their fears of sky-high premiums by rolling back a 2012 reform ending the government's costly practice of offering subsidized insurance for older homes and businesses in flood zones. The president signed the bill Friday.
But while the law was widely hailed as a victory for people who had seen their bills triple, quadruple or even increase 15-fold overnight, pocketbook pain for many has merely been delayed.
As many as 1.1 million policyholders with subsidized government insurance will still be hit with steady rate increases. While no one is sure yet how high rates will go, there is cause for worry in cities and towns that rely on affordable policies to keep businesses afloat and prop up the local housing market.
Lifelong Jersey Shore residents Lurie and Michael Portanova bought up a row of quaint, 19th-century brick shops along the West Branch Susquehanna River and have been lovingly restoring them. They found out a few months ago that the annual flood insurance premium on two buildings they bought in 2012 had soared from less than $3,000 to a minimum of $26,868.
Now, thanks to the congressional rollback, that rate will reset to where it was before — only to immediately start climbing again, year after year. Within five years, the bill will be more than $8,700. Within a decade, it will be more than $26,000.
"There's no way we can afford that. Just no way," said Michael Portanova. "We'd have to let it go back to the bank and walk away from it."
For years, people like the Portanovas relied on insurance that was far cheaper than the risks warranted. When Congress tried to stem the red ink by raising rates to reflect the real costs, people in the flood plains screamed — and the politicians listened.
But many say even the adjusted premiums will soon be beyond their means, though the question remains: Will the government continue to subsidize insurance in places that are increasingly untenable as sea levels rise and storms become more severe?
The Associated Press analyzed records from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for roughly 18,500 communities in the National Flood Insurance Program where the government offers subsidized rates.
The data show there are communities in every state where even a few years of price hikes could leave many affected owners unable to afford their properties. Hundreds of small river towns and coastal communities with significant numbers of homes and businesses in flood hazard zones are at risk.
FEMA's records also show why there is pressure to raise rates. Some communities with a large proportion of subsidized properties have been tremendously costly for the flood program. But there are just as many places where those policy discounts have cost taxpayers almost nothing.
The reform law signed by the president rolls back portions of a 2012 overhaul that took away subsidies immediately for any property that changed hands or was remapped into a higher risk flood zone. Both groups will now be able to continue paying subsidized rates.
But at least 820,000 homeowners will still get hit with rate increases of up to 18 percent each year until the program is collecting enough revenue to cover a $24 billion shortfall created by a series of catastrophic storms.
Owners of another quarter million businesses or second homes will see their rates rise 25 percent each year, until their premiums reach rates that match the true risk of flooding.

@ Joggle: Not sure about an atheists' ad campaign but the "I'm an ex-Mormon" campaign is already in full swing. I was unaware of it until I accidentally clicked on one while watching a video on youtube and realized I wasn't listening to a real Mormon. There will always be opposition to everything the Church promote, and former members will always be among some of it's most bitter and vocal foes.

Advertising won't change minds "overnight," but it can open doors, and
that's one of the main purposes of it. It's why missionaries are so excited.
Over time, as public figures who are Mormon make the news (in good ways, though), advertising will help even more.
The gist and feeling of an ad has a lot to do with how it's perceived and accepted, as well. I'd expect that to be effective, based on the few ads I've seen so far.

There is an age old adage when it comes to dealing with smut...."I won't dignify that with a response" I'm going the multimillion $ "glitz" route I think the church could be see as running scared. It's also possible that somew will construe this as a back door way to support a political candidate (I mean SERIOUSLY) who doesn't know Mitt's Mormon?) and get around having to report the $ spent as campaign contributions. There was plenty of flack over reporting after the prop 8 fiasco. A lesson about "apprearances" should have been learned.

Re: "I just don't understand the need to advertise one's religion . . .
I've never understood the need to ridicule or demonize another's religion. Unless there is some ulterior motive. Such as defeating a Mormon running for office because you disagree with his positions, but recognize that a disingenuous attack on his religion is more likely, at least historically, to defeat him than an attack on his politics.
For example.

I'm not certain this is necessary. An ad campaign of this nature can cost well into seven figures. It definitely will raise curiosity and perhaps open some doors for missionaries, but it seems to me it would be better to spend the money on humanitarian initiatives.

I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist too much about the LDS Church spending some money on advertising. A major facet of the Church's mission is to "proclaim the Gospel," and this is just one of many ways in which it attempts to accomplish that mission.
With regard to other things the Church could do that would benefit many, perhaps you've heard of LDS Humanitarian Services? Or the LDS Perpetual Education Fund? Or LDS Social/Family Services? If not, you could Google them and learn a little more about a few of the many things the Church does for the benefit of people (most without any regard for the recipient's membership or affiliation status with the Church).

"Welcome to Allendorf (Sundern, NRW)" Allendorf by yumyum
Allendorf Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 12 photos
Allendorf is an old town first mentioned in 1296. Since 1975 Allendorf is part of the nearby Sundern. In the old days all the buildings were located within the citywalls. But already after the first fire in 1795 not all the houses were rebuilt in the same spot. Further fires occured in 1804 and 1848.
We came through Allendorf on a daytrip visiting various towns in the vicinity like Sundern, Amecke (Lake Sorpe), Altenaffeln and Affeln.

Hello Helpers !
I have a small problem here: I did a SEO test for my WordPress site with GTMETRIX and I got some errors that I wish to fix all to increase my SEO score and become more friendly with search engines (especially with Google).
They told me to Inline my small css files like the subscriptions.css of the Jetpack plugin:
So I did copy the code inside subscriptions.css and I pasted it between
<style type="text/css"> and
<style> tags in the head section (header.php), then I deleted the subscriptions.css file.
The internal CSS code that I've added to header.php works fine.
Ine the phph file of the Jetpack plugin, there is a line of PHP code that calls for the CSS file that I've deleted (subscriptions.css) like so:
wp_register_style( 'jetpack-subscriptions', plugins_url( 'subscriptions/subscriptions.css', __FILE__ ) );
I need to replace the subscriptions/subscriptions.css with a link to my
<style type="text/css"> that I've added to header.php
Tell me how please ... Thank You
