In this issue of Cooking with Paula Deen Magazine it's berry time. Paula just loves this Strawberry Cobbler recipe. So simple and flavorful with the perfect crunch on top! She used a homemade vanilla sugar for an extra special touch when she made it the second time. Like Paula always says, take a recipe and make it your own. Enjoy this and all the delicious recipes in each issue.
Strawberry Cobbler
makes 6 servings
12 cups sliced fresh strawberries (about 4 pounds)
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¾ cup quick-cooking oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter, softened
Preheat oven to 350º F.
In a large saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes. Cook strawberry and sugar mixture, stirring frequently, over medium heat for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until blended. Stir cornstarch mixture into strawberry mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 1 minute or until mixture is thickened. Spoon mixture into 6 (5 ounce) ovenproof ramekins.
In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Divide mixture evenly over strawberry mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Serve warm.

Many Americans are getting less than the recommended amount of sleep. In response, New York Cardiovascular Associates is unveiling a set of tips to help in getting a good night's sleep. Building healthy bedtime habits is one of the first steps to sleeping well.
Creating a bedtime routine can help the body know when it is time to quiet down and go to sleep. This routine should involve calming activities like reading a book, taking a warm bath, drinking herbal tea, or doing a crossword puzzle. Avoid watching TV and using the computer before bed as the light from these objects can stimulate the brain towards wakefulness. Removing the TV from the bedroom can help eliminate the temptation to watch while dozing off. Avoid coffee, black tea, carbonated beverages, and chocolate after 3pm to escape its stimulating effects.
Many more bedtime tips are being provided by New York Cardiovascular Associates. They hope that through these tips the public can gain better health through a good night's sleep. More tips can be accessed through the center's Facebook and Twitter pages.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins are extremely common in men and women. While spider veins are very small, reddish veins on the surface of the skin, varicose veins are much larger, bulging, tangled veins that may appear bluish in color. Men and women suffer from varicose veins, although women are much more likely to have them.
Today, patients have access to a number of effective varicose vein treatment options. Advancements in technology and medicine have led to the development of effective, minimally invasive treatments that produce optimal results with few side-effects or downtime. These treatments include sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation, phlebectomy, and endovenous laser ablation.

I am sorry to see that this person could not see the casual, non raid stuff to do through the cloud of the raid community. There is a lot to do, and this person just didn't look for it. There is a vibrant Arena and PvP community, there isa huge amount of quests, even more so now with the daily quests that can be done every single day, and he could always, you know, go help younger players with their own instances, to get their own quests done. He quit because he wanted to, or maybe you could blame his guild for being inconsiderate, but it wasn't Blizzrd's fault he quit. We all make decisions, this was his. Will it make them see their 'mistakes'? Nope, cause this one wasn't theirs.

Rainier Lite is an elegant single channel theme with an eye for sharp typography. Designed for photographers and writers with an appreciation for minimalism, it's a perfect adaptation of our Rainier Tumblr theme for Ghost.
Detailed documentation can be found here.
We've been making themes since 2009. Truth to be told, we wouldn't still be afloat had we not acknowledged, early on, that each individual customer is important. Exceptional, human customer support matters to us a great deal.
Each one of our themes comes fully backed by our dedicated support team (all of us). We're good people, with real faces, and we like what we do. We've also created a help centre so you can get help at any hour. Send us an email or tweet at us during office hours (we're in PST!).

What started out as a potential "trap game" full of sloppy ball-handling, atrocious shooting and nonexistent defense ended up being just another solid win for the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night. Though Sacramento came into the contest on a four-game winning streak, and appeared determined to make it five, the Nuggets simply turned it on like only the very best do when crunch time hits. I fully admit, when the game started tonight, I was worried. After a fairly long hiatus I imagined the "Knuggets" (shoutout to Warren G.!) would come out guns-a-blazin' and completely bury the Kings right off the bat; but instead complacency had a firm grasp on the guys and it took a while for them to shake it free (about 35 minutes). The Kings — for whatever reason — were playing pretty good ball the first half, while we looked dead. And by "dead," I mean as in mowed down by Tommy gun, left for the vultures, completely un-embalmed for weeks type of dead. Scott Hastings mentioned tonight was the worst he's seen us play since the big you-know-what went down, and I couldn't agree more. We just looked confused, kind of like we hadn't played basketball in months (I wonder why?), and sluggish, and lackadaisical, and disoriented, and…. you get the point. For a while it was almost as if we had switched roles with the Kings — them playing great, team basketball while we sat outmatched in anticipation of the final whistle.
Luckily for us, halftime rolled around and after finally realizing we were actually playing in a real-life basketball game — not to mention one that was in the heat of a playoff run — we picked things up immediately with the start of the third-quarter. By the 7:15 mark of the third-quarter the ten-point deficit we accumulated at half-time was completely erased. The energy in the building was as if the heat had been turned off throughout an entire Winter's day, and when that long-needed switch was finally flipped on, it ignited a "circuit of life" throughout the Can. Guys started moving, shots started falling, passes started actually being made and of course the crowd finally got to cheer over something worth cheering about instead of Rocky's slap-stick antics. I guess it just took a while for the guys to knock off that excess grog, and once they did, it was like turning over the engine on that luxury sports car you hadn't driven in a while and taking a joy-ride down an open road to victory (not that I know what this feels like as '93 Honda Accords don't exactly offer this feeling).
Nobody really had an amazing game tonight, but Ty, Nene and JR all had strong outings. Ty finished with 20 points on 7-9 from the field and a team-high plus/minus of 23; while Nene had a great night on the glass bringing down 15 boards to go with three assists, three steals, four blocks and 12 points. This is the type of effort we need to see out of Nene more frequently. He's got one of the best all-around games in the entire league for a big man, and putting up stats in these types of categories is what we'll need most out of him in the post-season. Points — we can get that elsewhere (though it was nice seeing him school Cousins a few times tonight), but blocks and rebounds are what he can contribute to help us win. Meanwhile, JR too had a phenomenal game. His shots were all well calculated, his passes were some of the best on the night and his defense was stingy. I don't know what it was, JR just really impressed me. He was purely solid by all accounts. He never did anything stupid, he played within the flow of the game, and as always he acted as the immaculate model for the energetic sixth-man role.
Overall, another great win in the long line of them it seems these days. Next up is Sacramento again on Friday, but this time it's in their house.

Tablo BookMaker Takes The Complexity Out Of EBook Publishing
Getting a book published used to require something called "an agent" who talked to a "publishing house" who, in turn, hired a "printer" to make a "hardback" or "paperback" version of your words. Tablo.io is just another in the long line of start-ups aimed at relegating those things to the deep, dark past. Read More

iPad Self-Publishing Tool Tactilize Launches In-App Editor
Tactilize, a self-publishing service and content network for the iPad, launched last September.

Bumblebee and Zio Ziegler have decidedly different styles. The former privileges bright colors, the latter black line. However, they connect in their interest in figurative form and when placed in close proximity, their two styles match up with charming effect. This new mural in Culver City, CA proves the power of the tandem. And, when the lights of the street hit at night, things get really good. The mural is titled "The Guardian."7 notes · #Bumblebee #Zio Ziegler #street art #art #artist #graffiti #design #The Guardian #beautiful

Song Review
Luke Bryan, 'Crash My Party' – Album Review
Luke Bryan plays it safe on 'Crash My Party,' his new album and the follow-up to the tremendously successful 'Tailgates and Tanlines.' With the exception of the infusion of hip-hop on two songs, there is little to differentiate the two projects.
The Band Perry, 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely' – ToC Critic's Pick [Listen]
'Don't Let Me Be Lonely,' the third single from the Band Perry's 'Pioneer' album, is thematically similar to their biggest hit, but few will confuse this song with 'If I Die Young.' The latest track may not be as instantly catchy, but it's every bit the sharp songwriting effort the cut from the trio's debut album was.
Zac Brown Band, 'Sweet Annie' – Song Review
The Zac Brown Band's new single 'Sweet Annie' is another vocal and lyrical showcase for the singer. The collaborative spirit that defined them early on is missing, making the ensemble sound more like Zac Brown's band instead of the Zac Brown Band.
Austin Webb, 'Slip on By' – Song Review
Austin Webb's soulful new ballad 'Slip on By' will catch you off guard if you let it, and that's not such a bad idea. Webb sings a familiar, but not overdone, lesson about appreciating every moment we have on this Earth.
Brett Eldredge, 'Bring You Back' – Album Review
Buying a full album from a new artist is something like a trust fall. Typically you've heard one or two songs, leaving nine or 10 question marks. Breathe easy putting down cash for 'Bring You Back,' the debut from Brett Eldredge. The Paris, Ill.-born singer will catch you.
Brad Paisley, 'I Can't Change the World' – Song Review
'I Can't Change the World' is Brad Paisley's anthemic ballad from his 'Wheelhouse' album. As a vocalist, he rarely soars like he does on this sonically complex, but lyrically simple love song. His performance as a singer and guitarist actually overshadows the strength of the song.
Luke Bryan, 'That's My Kind of Night' – Song Review
Luke Bryan's new single 'That's My Kind of Night' promises to be his most controversial release to date. The singer goes all-in on the country-rap style that -- despite loud objections from traditionalists -- is covering the radio like kudzu. He sounds both horribly out of place and right at home.
Cole Swindell, 'Chillin' It' – Song Review
Colt Ford (Feat. Jason Aldean), 'Drivin' Around Song' – Song Review
'Drivin' Around Song' is Colt Ford's best chance for a radio hit, something the singer would likely be willing to shave his body hair for. Jason Aldean's chorus is smooth and memorable, and his presence on the track from 'Declaration of Independence' gives Ford superstar credibility.
Blake Shelton, 'Mine Would Be You' – ToC Critic's Pick [Listen]
Does anyone in country music sing heartbreak quite like Blake Shelton? 'Mine Would Be You,' the third single from 'Based on a True Story ...' adds to a strong collection of Shelton tracks that will rip your heart out if you don't try to protect yourself. The turn in the last verse is devastating.
Bush Hawg, 'Crushin" – Song Review
On 'Crushin',' the debut single from newcomers Bush Hawg, one can't hear the "blend of backwoods, blue collars, bar fights and bibles" they describe themselves as in their artist bio. The mid-tempo love song is a generic first-timer effort that relies on a big hook instead on lyrical depth or distinctive attitude.

NanoBCA Interview with Nanotech Pioneer Dr. Malcolm Gillis
Dr. Malcolm Gillis, a distinguished economist, served as President of Rice University from 1993 to 2004 and has been at the forefront of international research collaboration, working with Lord David Sainsbury when he was Minister for Science, to pioneer a truly international approach between the leading research academics working in nano science in the U.S., U.K. and Europe at leading research institutions. His upcoming lecture, Convergences in Technologies: Nano Bio and Info on June 3, 2014, will be held at The Royal Institution of Great Britain (http://www.rigb.org/), 21 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BS, starting at 7:00 pm. To reserve tickets, please submit request to firstname.lastname@example.com (mailto:email@example.com). NanoBCA Please tell us about the genesis of your upcoming lecture concerning the convergence of Nano, Bio and Info. Dr. Gillis This will be the latest in a long series of lectures I have given over the last two decades about the promise of nanotechnology. My involvement in nano at Rice during that exciting time when Dr. Richard Smalleys team was conducting extraordinary work, and my subsequent involvement in the nano community has afforded me the ability to observe progress and trends not only in the U.S. but worldwide. During that time, I have had the good opportunity to engage with leaders in the field in Germany, Ireland, Scotland and England, among others. Its been an enlightening and inspiring journey for me. The goal of the upcoming lecture is to educate the general public, and to start a dialogue with a broader array of stakeholders, of the extraordinary possibilities that are borne at the intersection nano, bio, and information technologies. NanoBCA How did you come to work with Lord Sainsbury and what are the specific outcomes for the U.K. and Texas nano communities? Dr. Gillis I first met Lord Sainsbury in the late 1990s on a trip to the U.K. to give a lecture at the Royal Academy in Edinburgh, after which Lord Sainsbury and I met in London to explore potential collaborations in the field of nanotechnology. I remember being struck by how extremely well prepared he was on the subject. In just thirty minutes time, we were able to agree and establish the Nano Bio Collaborative on Research which involved eight British universities and ten Texas research universities. The Collaborative launched in 2002. Lord Sainsbury provided several million pounds to the effort. The Collaborative was extremely successful and lasted for ten years. NanoBCA The 21st Century Nanotechnology R D Act was signed into law by President Bush in December of 2003. Since then, the U.S. Government has spent approximately $20 billion on nanotechnology R D. This investment was spread over 9 major U.S. agencies. What do you believe are some of the major accomplishments as they relate to nanobio? Dr. Gillis There have been so many notable achievements. Too many to cover here but let me mention a few that stand out in my mind. There was a $2.9 million grant from NIH to fund research at Rice and Baylor College of Medicine for neuro-vascular regeneration which has generated great results in that field. Another grant was provided in the amount of £6.7 million from BPSRC for research at University College London and Swansea for research in interactive medical devices. The Center of Nano Health was established in Wales with a£1.9 million grant from BPSRC. And there were another eight or so grants in the range of $30 million for funding other areas of research. You mention the signing of the 21st Century Nanotechnology R D Act in 2003. Neal Lane, who is at Rice with me, and was the former Provost at Rice and former head of the NSF was very instrumental in getting that legislation passed. That legislation set in motion four generations of evolution in nano: first, the immediate effect of moving from prior-2000 (buckeyballs and nanotubes) to 2nd generation (2000-2005) of more active nanoparticles, and 3rd and now 4th. The National Nanotechnology Initiative was absolutely instrumental. According a recent article in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, there are now some 507 nanotech firms worldwide. Two-thirds of those are small firms, which is where a lot of truly great innovation occurs. NanoBCA Often we hear a variety of different opinions about the definition of nanotechnology. Whats your opinion? Dr. Gillis From my perspective, the definition of nanotechnology is broad and includes many biological innovations, because most anything that goes on in a human cell is natures nanotechnology. NanoBCA One of the participating agencies of the NNI is the NIH. What are some breakthroughs we can expect from NIH in the next 5-10 years? Dr. Gillis There have been some very significant advances in therapy and diagnostics which will continue to deliver tremendous results in the years ahead. For instance, novel techniques developed at Rice and other places that allow for the use of gold nanoshells to kill cancer cells. Also, advances that allow targeted delivery of cancer drugs to a single cell. Breakthroughs in early cancer cell detection will have a profound impact. Unfortunately, due to woes in the federal budget, prospects for increased funding for NIH are not bright and will limit the possibility of breakthroughs. However, we will certainly continue to see breakthroughs in cancer treatment, biomarkers and tissue engineering. Lab-on-a-chip is also coming close to a reality. Human tissues married with nanowires create a type of cyborg tissue that might enable doctors to monitor changes in human tissue not imagined before. And, there are remarkable developments in building living tissue with 3D printing technologies. Genomics has already given us a complete parts list for humans. New advances in nano-bio-IT provide us with the extensive capability to manmake these parts. In conclusion, the big picture for future breakthroughs is that most of these advances are the product of the convergence of nano, bio and information technologies. That convergence is a powerful force for innovation. That will be the focus of my lecture in London on June 3rd. NanoBCA Dr. Gillis, thank you for your time and tremendous insight. Good luck in London! Thank you Dr. Gillis for your contributions to the nano community over the last decade.

"They try to get as broad interest as possible in any of these big, expensive tentpoles," said Disney analyst Harold Vogel, president of Vogel Capital Management.
The project, years in the planning, made headlines in August 2011 when it was halted because of concerns about its budget, originally reported to be in the range of $250 million.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
The budget was pared to an estimated $225 million and production resumed in February 2012, although multiple reports have said that costs again crept up toward $250 million.
Key to film's prospective profitability will be how it fares in important foreign territories such as China, now the second-largest movie market in the world. This weekend, the film is premiering in Italy, Russia, Australia and South Korea and will debut elsewhere over the next several months.
A Disney spokesman confirmed that "The Lone Ranger" would be shown in China, but said a release date has not be set.
Bailey acknowledged that some foreign territories are not so familiar with the western genre.
"But this isn't a western in a traditional sense," he said. "These guys set out to re-imagine the genre."
Besides, Bailey noted, there's also Depp's international star power. His last seagoing venture, 2011's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," took in $803 million of its $1.04-billion global gross outside the domestic market.
REVIEW: Not even Johnny Depp can save 'The Lone Ranger'
Disney was able to trim the budget on "The Lone Ranger" by cutting back on expensive action sequences, and after Depp, Bruckheimer and Verbinski and others cut their fees, according to several reports.
The studio is betting that the trio can once again deliver, replicating their "Pirates" success.
"'Pirates' was always talked about as a target for this movie," Bailey said. "That was a movie that people didn't anticipate — pirate movies were not really out there. Now it would be really difficult for one of our competitors to do a tentpole pirate movie. That is something we talked about."

When it comes to working with graphics in PowerPoint, presenters might be surprised by the number of tools at their disposal.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, it makes sense that images would be an integral part of great PowerPoint presentations, right? After all, the best slides are meant to compliment and support your narration. And while choosing the best fonts and adding cool animations can help, the right images can often make the biggest difference of all.
Of course, there are c...

Nose reshaping, also known as rhinoplasty or more commonly known as nose jobs, is one of the most impactful cosmetic procedures available. The confidence it brings can be wonderfully life-changing. This can include refining the bridge, tip or the overall profile; it can also relieve breathing difficulties caused by injury.
To put it simply, this refers to any procedure that alters the look of your nose; this could include the size, length or shape.
Many of our patients are self-conscious about the size and shape of your nose, especially as it is the most central feature on the face. Inherited characteristics that may be disproportionate to the overall shape of your face - as a female you may have inherited your "Father's nose" or a previous accident may have changed the shape of your nose leaving unsightly bumps or flattened areas.
There are several forms of rhinoplasty / nose jobs to deal with a host of common problems:
This form of rhinoplasty can help solve issues including the removal of bumps and humps, correcting a bridge or tip that is too wide, reshaping noses that appear disproportionately large on the face and correcting "hooked" noses.
An augmented rhinoplasty refers to any procedure which involves building the nose or giving it extra bulk. This may be suitable for patients who wish to correct a flat bridge.
Any procedure which involves manipulation of the septum is known as a septo-rhinoplasty. This may be suitable for patients with a deviated septum or who are looking to correct a crooked or wonky nose.
Rhino-tip procedures deal with large, bulbous or misshapen nose tips. This may also be suitable for patients wishing to correct or shorten a droopy tip.
An alar base reduction refers to procedures that include the reshaping of large or flaring nostrils.
As a general guide most procedures are performed under general anaesthetic, take approximately 2 hours to complete and usually require a one night stay in hospital. Rhinoplasty scarring varies depending on the type of procedure. During a closed reduction nose reshaping the incisions occur on the inside of the nose and therefore there are no visible scars - other types of nose reshaping procedures have some minimal scarring.
Patients undergoing nose reshaping surgery will need between 7 and 14 days off work to recover, and can also expect some bruising during this period. Any obvious swelling should subside within a month, and will continue to improve over a 12 month period.
Some of the World's best surgeons

©2005 Peter Kreeft; (P)2005 Recorded Books
"faith of reason"
faith and reason by peter kreeft- it is a very good audio book. i believe everyone should read it and listen to it.
"A Plus....excellent!"
The content is excellent, and the audio quality is very good.
My best friend is a science teacher and agnostic. I am a Christian and I teach English. Both of us have taught for about 30 years, and we both are curious about reality (whatever it is) and we both want to know more than we now know.
Both of us love this audio. We find that Dr. Kreeft has presented his discussion in a reasonable and balanced fashion. His arguments are proper and structured very well.
I will listen to this book several times. I have finished hearing it once so far, and that led me to purchase six print books of Dr. Kreeft's. I would welcome the chance to purchase more of his audiobooks.
While Dr. Kreeft is a Christian, he does not let his faith keep him from a balanced, logical discussion of the use of reason in faith issues.
"Highly thought-provoking"
I am surprised that some reviewers found this audiobook to be boring; I found it to be quite riveting. It consists of a course with 14 lectures, not a book with 14 chapters, so perhaps this format was less familiar to them?
Professor Kreeft compares and evaluates various religious beliefs, including arguments made for and against God's existence, beliefs about immortality, and the natural of religious experiences. He resists teaching the content of his own opinions (although it is apparent that he is a relatively liberal Christian), preferring to present arguments made by intelligent people holding various points of view, and to show different ways in which a question might be answered.
Professor Kreeft works with a very interesting concept of faith: He asks us to consider the scientific method, noting that this process calls for "doubt" in order to function properly. A scientist wishes to test a hypothesis-- Her starting point must be to say "I will not believe this hypothesis, unless I can prove that it is in fact true." Note that doubt is not the same thing as denial. doubt still calls for testing, but it is "guilty until proven innocent" testing.
Faith, notes Kreeft, is the opposite of the scientific method's "doubt". Faith is "innocent until proven guilty" testing. It is not the same thing as belief, or as certainty. He asks us to consider that the act of listening is an act of faith, and possibly the only way to practice faith. To listen to someone is to have faith in what they are saying-- not necessarily to belive their ideas in the long run, but to consider what they are saying as a genuine possiblity, working of further analysis. Whether your beliefs are theistic, atheistic, agnositic, or otherwise, you will find yourself "listened-to" by Kreeft.
"Not without a perspective, but very good"
Contrary to the person who thinks Prof. Kreeft was too politically correct and not pro-Catholic enough, I think this was a very balanced presentation from someone who is clearly "pro-religion", i.e., who believes in God. He doesn't discount the "other side" because he acknowledges that there are perspectives very much worth considering. This is supposed to be like a university course, requiring open-minded thoughtfulness, and it succeeds in that. Prof. Kreeft is engaging, smart without being condescending, and accessible without being too cute. I think he is an unusually calm, intelligent voice on the side of religious belief.
"One lecture for all!"
I love Modern Scholar lectures and I possess quite a few set of lectures but this is the first I give five stars to, because I found the lectures captivating, thought provoking and unpretentious. It teaches the listener how to seek and evaluate each of the majour religions and religious issues without overtly presumptious. I wish all Christians could be as profound as this lecturer, and I wish all Christians can listen to this set of lectures.
"Good Overview"
The work deals with difficult and important themes with superficiality. The questions are posed and examined without sufficient debate. The audiobook presents a good introduction to the questions related to faith and reason. One must go ahead in order to gain more information about philosophy of religion.
"Well thoght out and written for All"
Profesor Kreeft does a brilliant job in this philosophical book. You have to be narrowminded to not like this book. And if you are narrow minded, you shouldn't but this book. If you have an open mind, you can gain alot even if you are Christians or atheist or agnostics.
"Very Thoughtful"
Very thoughtful and insightful analysis of religion. The professor treats the subject with care on all sides and says many things that are profound. I found it to be excellent.
"Not best for an audio book"
Some reviews have said that the author and narrator's voice is monotone and that this is off putting. Well it is monotone except when he cracks a joke about the Boston Redsox and then there is a slight raise in excitement. I actually did not find the voice off putting. It is clear and precise, just what is needed for reading this type of book. If he was reading a novel or a dramatic story like The Lord of the Rings, then this would be a disaster. So, voice good.
I have listened to many of Dr Kreeft's lectures that are free on his website - very interesting, all of them. But I just could not get into this book. I stopped it after 2.5 hours. I might return. Now, I listen to my books in the car travelling to and from work. Perhaps an indepth book on philosophy is not suited to that. I kept wanting to rewind and relisten to understand. Not the easest thing in a car. So, I would have to say that for me, this was a book either to be read or to be listened to in the armchair at home with headphones, a note pad and my finger on the rewind button. Hence I gave it 2 stars based on a very subjective opinion.
"Why should you believe?"
I may have expected more from this one, but what I found was a lengthy pro et contra for believing or not believing in God. The author admits to being a Christian believer, and I feel that this colours the lectures a bit.
I would say that this is something you should listen to if you are unsure about why you believe, or why you don't believe. Alternately, if you are looking to rehearse arguments for those long debates on the existence of a creator.
"Politically Correct is not Philosophy"
I am a Catholic who sincerely believes that there is no salvation outside the, "One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church". I endeavor to save souls by converting as many people as possible to the one true faith. I have found through experience that philosophical/historical argument is the most effective way to do this.
In this work the study of the different religions including atheism has been invaluable to the success of my missionary work. Obviously, the only people I have ever converted were sincere in their quest to find know, and love the truth. These people are lovers of wisdom not of political correctness. I want to understand Atheism, and different world religions so that I will understand what is good and bad about them, so that I will be more effective in my missionary work.
Peter Kreeft, however; is not primarily concerned with the truth in his analysis of different religions such as Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism as well as the several others he analyzes, as he is very superficial and politically correct.
Some of my best friends are atheists and by questioning them for their reason for being atheists I have found three primary reasons: one belief in God would require a change in life style that they do not want to make, two they note that many believers are hypocrites and seem to be impervious to the grace of God, three for many, their understanding of religion is that of a child whilst they are grown-ups. I have been astounded by several educated atheists who have tried to disprove a notion of God or religion that is suitable for a seven year old. These people will attempt to attack the Catholic religion by discrediting an infantile understanding of God and the Church.
By the way Kreeft's final conclusion is that all religions are the same, he seems to suggest, however; that atheism is an inferior position even though he rightly points out that many forms of Buddhism are atheistic and that Confucianism is agnostic.

For young people struggling to come to terms with being gay and Mormon, 22 Brigham Young University students have a message: "It gets better."
On Friday, lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) students at BYU and some of their straight allies released a video on YouTube, adding to some 40,000 video messages that aim to prevent depression and suicide among gay teens as part of the It Gets Better project. Seattle writer Dan Savage and his partner, Terry Miller, launched the effort in September 2010 following a string of youth suicides reported by national media.
See the videoView the BYU students' video > www.sltrib.com
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
At BYU, the video is just one more sign of changing attitudes toward being gay and Mormon. On the Provo campus Wednesday, an estimated 600 students crammed into a room that seated 260 to listen to four students discuss what it's like to balance their faith, which teaches that same-sex sexual activity is sinful, with their gay or bisexual identities. The speakers were part of an unofficial school club called Understanding Same Gender Attraction.
"We're trying to live it and create new spaces for us to be gay and Mormon and be active in the church," said Adam White, 21, who appeared both on the panel and in the YouTube video. "That in and of itself is an 'it gets better' message."
In recent years, the LDS Church-owned school has adjusted its Honor Code to allow students to identify as gay without facing sanctions so long as they avoid physical intimacy with members of the same sex. Chastity before marriage is expected of all students.
"Students who are upholding the Honor Code are welcome as full members of the BYU community," school spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said Friday. She declined to comment specifically on the new YouTube video, which was produced by former BYUtv broadcaster Kendall Wilcox. He's currently working on an independent documentary called "Far Between" about being gay and Mormon.
White hopes the video not only lets young gay Mormons know they are loved but changes perceptions about BYU. As a student there, he insists it's not as conservative or closed-minded as some people might think.
"I feel like there's been a very negative light cast on Mormons when it comes to LGBT issues," said White, a theater-arts major from Washington, D.C. "You can declare your orientation and be OK with that, and you won't get kicked out [of BYU]. That recognition is a really big step for a lot of people. It's given a lot of people hope."

Councilors will soon decide if they want to raise the city property tax rate.
It looks like property taxes in Wichita Falls could be staying the same for the 2014, 2015 fiscal year.
What if the food you loved cost you extra to eat?
Juice bar owner bases prices on customers' political leanings.
The proposed increase is about one cent more than the current tax rate. City officials say an average property owner with a $100-thousand home would pay about $10 more per year.
According to state law, city officials must host two public hearings before a change is made to taxes. The first one was during Tuesday's city council meeting, and no one showed up to speak or ask questions.

Is Social Media Making Us Sick?
Study & findings: http://www.slideshare.net/AbelsonTaylor/sxsw-panel-is-social-media-making-us-sick
Is social media making us sick? Probably not. What social media does is amplify current life experience. It makes both positive and negative experiences more pronounced for heavy users. The only difference between misrepresentation in social and in real life is amplification.
The Sweet Science of Virality: You Are Bad At It
Social sharing optimization from Upworthy. Presentation: http://www.upworthy.com/you-will-not-believe-how-easy-it-is-to-make-something-go-viral?c=sxsw
Great content + good packaging + timing = go viral. Viral = High clicks per share and high shares per view. You need GREAT content AND packaging.
Social is the starting point: Where is your audience? Go to them… Don't expect them to come to your website to learn about new content
DON'T target your fans on Facebook. Frame your content for your fans' friends so when your fan clicks and creates a feed mention, the 2nd order fan (their friends) will also click
The Big Power Shift in Media – Jonah Peretti, Buzzfeed
Fantastic talk – I'd highly recommend listening to it yourself! https://soundcloud.com/officialsxsw/the-big-power-shift-in-media
Social is becoming the new starting point for content
Social is a way of thinking. There are no "tricks" to go viral. You need to shift the mindset from the point of creation
Content is about identity. People share things that communicate something about themselves
Don't post things people are embarrassed to share : On the flip side, although people may want to read that article about a celebrity sex tape (or similar ilk), they'll be too embarrassed to let their friends know that they did.
Shareability is not about the informational value, but about the emotional connection
How can silly + serious coexist? It humanizes content, just like people aren't either/or
Think social when creating content:

The Southwest Airlines plane lost pressure at about 35,000 feet, and the pilot followed protocol by descending and deploying the masks.
DALLAS — Southwest Airlines says a flight from Kansas City to Dallas lost cabin pressure, forcing passengers and crew to wear oxygen masks until the plane had descended to a safe altitude.
Spokeswoman Whitney Eichinger says no one was hurt and Flight 3201 landed safely at Love Field on Saturday evening.
Eichinger said Monday that the plane lost pressure at about 35,000 feet. She says the pilot followed protocol, descended and deployed the masks. The masks were not needed once the plane was below 10,000 feet.
Passenger David Wilding told WFAA-TV that the jet suddenly started to steeply dive. He says they wore the masks for about 20 minutes.
The plane was carrying 124 passengers and five crewmembers.
Eichinger says the jet underwent maintenance Sunday and returned to service Monday.
