Publisher's Description
The writings of the New Atheists are especially challenging to the emerging generation who are skeptical of authority and have not been given answers to the hows and whys of faith's honest questions. For these readers especially, authors Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow have penned an accessible yet rigorous look at the arguments of the New Atheists. Writing from a distinctively Christian perspective, McDowell and Morrow lay out the facts so that the emerging generation can make up their own mind after considering all the evidence. Divided into two parts--the first addressing the scientific and philosophical challenges to belief in God and the second dealing with the moral and biblical challenges--"Is God Just a Human Invention?" will respond to each major argument in a way that is balanced, thorough, and easy to understand.
McDowell and Morrow believe that the current religious landscape is both an opportunity and a challenge for people of faith. "Now" is the time to respond.

Devon HaglundBend, ORAge: Under 18Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Valid and HelpfulOctober 27, 2011Devon HaglundBend, ORAge: Under 18Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I got this book at an Apologetics Conference with Sean Mcdowell as one of the key speakers. The content in this book cover's a wide variety of subjects, like the various arguments for God (moral, cosmological, fine-tuning, etc.) , the basics of intelligent design, whether or not the Bible supports slavery, why faith is relevant, is religion dangerous, and several others.
The book is split into two parts: Responding To Scientific And Philosophical Challenges, and Responding To Moral And Biblical Challenges. At the end of each Chapter, there is a short closing by various scholars, like Habermas or Dembski, and titles of a couple books for further engagement on the topic (I found this very helpful). Also, at the end of the book, there is a list of sources for almost everything in the book.
In the short time that I have had this, I have heard several questions covered in this book. This is a very good, valid resource. I would recommend this to almost anyone.

Did you know that 47 percent or approximately 3,800 Anderson County children receive free or reduced school meals? Did you ever wonder what those children eat on the weekends?
We do. We are Anderson County Backpack Buddies, a tax-exempt, non-profit organization that helps feed those children on the weekends.
To the editor:
I'm very disappointed in our county and find it hard to believe that there is a lack of legal recourse for abandoned properties like the one on Hammond Road.
Why do we even have the processes in place to condemn or issue orders to destroy a building because it is a fire hazard if there are no laws to enforce such orders?
I don't believe in the slippery slope.
You know, that metaphorical downward hill of depravity everyone talks about.
I basically put it in the same category as the bogeyman. Or unicorns.
I consider myself a pretty respectful and responsible person. I pay my taxes. I give change to the Salvation Army at Christmastime. I refrain from taking candy from small children, or kicking cute puppies.
Imagine my astonishment when I learn that my generation's sliding down the slope's shifting sands of immorality.
Column as I see 'em …
Here's a thought from a reader that makes sense — that is unless the goofy rules handed down from state government are applied.
I received an e-mail from a reader who requested anonymity but wanted to weigh in on the school district's decision not to budget to purchase high school text books, allowing instead the school's site based council (which has no authority to tax but in this case is doing so anyway) to ding each kid $50 as an "instructional fee."
The annual 127 Yard Sale, which stretches 675 miles from Hudson, Mich., to Gadsen, Ala., will draw thousands of visitors to Anderson County starting Aug. 4-7.
Described in a news release as the world's longest yard sale, the 127 corridor yard sale began as a means of getting drivers off the interstate and on the roadways of rural and America. The event, celebrating its 24th anniversary this year, is always held the first Thursday in August through the first Sunday, Aug. 4-7.
Taxpayers will have to wait at least a few more days to find out if their county property tax rates will go up.
During its meeting Tuesday morning, the Anderson County Fiscal Court voted to table setting its tax rate for 2011-12 because of confusion over exactly how much revenue it would receive.
Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway said he had received tax rate details from Property Value Administrator Brian Stivers that came to one conclusion, and from the state's Department of Local Government that came to another.
The joy during Tuesday morning's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court was obvious as word spread like wildfire that the woman who unsuccessfully sued the county on sexual harassment allegations would not receive a new trial.
County Attorney Bobbi Jo Lewis interrupted the work session portion of the meeting by simply announcing: "Overruled."
Magistrates broke out in smiles at the news — news that had it gone the other way, could have proved very costly to taxpayers.
The owner of a crumbling house on Hammond Road has been warned and now has just 30 days to come up with a plan to address the problem before being hauled into District Court.
And he's not alone. The county's code enforcement officer, Doug Ingram, has also put on notice the owner of a burned out structure in Fox Creek on Highway 62, as he ratchets up the pressure to get both eyesores cleaned up.
Margaret "Geri" Murphy, aka Margaret Stafford, whose address on the indictment is listed as Floral City, Fla., is facing Class D felony charges for allegedly making false entries in a public record nine times between 2006 and 2010, according to documents on file in Anderson Circuit Court.
Murphy is scheduled to appear Tuesday, Sept. 6 in Anderson County Circuit Court in front of Judge Charles Hickman.

An odyssey of Eagle wrestling
- Details
- Last Updated on Tuesday, 16 February 2010 21:23
- Published on Tuesday, 16 February 2010 21:23
- Hits: 1069
Washington & Lee Wrestling
Every wrestling season is a marathon. This one, though, has turned into the Iditarod. On Jan. 29, the Eagle wrestling team got together for a fairly routine Friday practice in anticipation of the Northern Neck District meet, which was to be the following Wednesday. Since that time, the season has been anything but routine.
As all remotely sentient beings are well aware, Mother Nature essentially opened up a can on the bulk of American civilization and most activities (other than mechanically opening the refrigerator door every 45 minutes to see if anything new has appeared) all but ceased for the best part of two weeks. The district meet was canceled and all the Northern Neck schools found themselves preparing for the regional championships by shoveling snow and doing push-ups during daytime TV commercials. There was some consternation about whether all of the Region A teams would even be allowed to make the trek to Mathews last weekend in search of a coveted top four individual placement to qualify for the state tournament. In the end, all 12 schools found a way, including Arcadia, which made the pilgrimage from the Eastern Shore via parent caravan.
With no district meet to declare a Northern Neck District champion, Essex's 42-42 tiebreaker criteria victory (more victories) over W&L on Jan. 28 became the de facto district championship and the Trojans were unceremoniously crowned. The Eagles, dissatisfied with second place after winning the title the last two years had a bit of extra motivation to work out during the long snow-imposed moratorium on practice.
Mathews came into the regional meet having been in session that entire week and, though they were heavily favored from the beginning, looked even more dominant than expected from the first whistle. Longtime coach Tom Holaday, in typically understated fashion, said that it was definitely an "advantage" to have practice. In the end, the Devils placed 13 wrestlers in the top four and won eight weight classes to run away with the team score. Northampton was second. The Northern Neck District showed their mettle, though, occupying the third through fifth place spots and qualifying a total of 19 grapplers for this weekend's state tournament in Salem.
W&L had six wrestlers in the top three and nine of 10 athletes who made the trek finished in the top six, earning them an avenging third place team placement over fourth place Essex, which also qualified six for the state tournament. With four finalists and two other placewinners, Northumberland was fifth. Lancaster, victimized by injuries, finished in 12th place with one state qualifier.
The real drama of the tournament came in the finals, where the top two wrestlers in each weight class did battle and truly showed who had worked out and who had spent the unscheduled break on the couch eating proverbial bon-bons.
Junior 135-pounder Cale Coryell won an individual title for W&L, avenging a pin defeat of his own to Billy Jackson from Northumberland, who was 22-1 prior to the finals.
"I knew he was ready when I saw him warming up with such clear confidence," Coach David Wilkerson said. "He expected to win and that made all the difference."
Coryell was winning 8-3 in the second period when the bullishly strong Jackson locked up a standing headlock and attempted a throw, which is how he won their first match in January. Coryell rolled through the throw and put Jackson on his back, all but sealing the victory. Wilkerson called that a breathless moment but said Coryell has never wrestled better. "If he keeps that up, he's going to be hard to beat in Salem."
Senior Sigifredo Luna, who became W&L's first ever four-time state qualifier, came within inches of defending the title he won last year at 140. He faced Mathews' Chris Beale in the finals and gave up a takedown in the first period. From that point on, Beale rode Luna essentially for the rest of the match. Luna couldn't get away and Beale couldn't turn him to his back. For the final minute of the match, Luna was caught under Beale, but had his opponent's arms and legs trapped such that all he had to do was pop his head out to score the all-important reversal. Incredibly, Beale, who is likely the strongest pound-for-pound athlete in the region, kept Luna's head tucked under his stomach to earn the razor thin 2-1 decision. Both wrestlers, who will be on opposite sides of the bracket, will be threats to win the title this weekend in Salem.
The match of the tournament was the widely anticipated match between Mathews' defending state champion and nationally 20th ranked Garrett "Fozzy" Fosdyck and his challenger, W&L's Laine Alles, who gave him the only real match he's had all season in a 5-1 Fosdyck victory in January. Both wrestlers pinned their way to the finals in decidedly dominant fashion and the gymnasium was abuzz with the possibility of an upset. Fosdyck wasn't interested in a repeat though as he blasted Alles with a double leg takedown to his back to start the match and unsentimentally pinned him in the first period. Many observers feel, though, that Alles still has the best shot to be Fosdyck's opponent in the state finals as well.
All the local wrestlers were looking forward to a week of practice unfettered by snow and several schools got together Monday to duke it out in preparation for the rest of the Old Dominion this weekend. W&L's three finalists and three third place finishers, 103-pound freshman Christian Deel, 119-pound junior James Cox, and 215-pound junior Brandon Deatley may not know what to do with themselves if they actually get to consistently practice together this week.
"It could be turbo-charging for them, considering how good they looked after two weeks at home," Wilkerson said. Then again, school was canceled on Tuesday so it could be more of the same this week. "At least we're experienced with it. I told the boys to grab their snow shovels again and do what they did before, because it apparently works."
David Wilkerson

Hi Ladies,
I had a repeat csection four weeks ago. I was told not to lift anything over 15lbs for 6 weeks. This has been a challenge as my toddler (20 months) weighs 30 lbs. At this point I feel great, with no lasting pain or discomfort. I don't want to tear my stiches inside or out, and cause my recovery to be longer.
We are all going stir crazy and I just wandered if anyone has experience with this and has lifted their toddler before the six week mark. If so, did you have any complications??
Thanks for any input.

I have a sweet tooth, or more likely, sweet teeth. Cookies are one of my favorite things, but I try to limit my intake as part of our whole eating healthy routine. I was hoping that pregnancy would curb my interest in cookies, though, sadly, it has not.
This calls for pregnancy cookies. I've seen lactation cookies and weight loss cookies, so why not pregnancy cookies?
When inventing these, I tried to include ingredients that would meet the needs of pregnant women, which include the following:
- Vitamin A – Assists in the development of bones and teeth
- Folic acid/Folate – Helps support the placenta and prevents neural tube defects
- Iron – Prevents anemia, low birth weight, and premature birth weight
- Pyrioxine/B6 – Helps form red blood cells and helps with morning sickness
- Protein – Assists in the production of amino acids; repairs cells
- Thiamin/B1 – Raises energy level and helps regulate immune system
- Fiber – Helps reduce constipation during pregnancy
So these cookies include sunflower seeds (high in thiamin, B6, folate and protein), oat flour (higher in iron, protein and fiber than all purpose flour), blackstrap molasses (high in iron with way more nutritional value than white sugar), and dried apricots (lots of fiber and vitamin A).
Here's the recipe:
Pregnancy Cookies
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 5 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup toasted, hulled sunflower seeds
- 6 oz. dried apricots, chopped
In a large bowl, combine the flours, oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger. Mix thoroughly.
In your mixer bowl, cream softened butter, applesauce and sugar. I cheated a little and used closer to ¾ of a cup of sugar rather than a full cup. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Add two eggs, beaten and vanilla and molasses. It can be tricky to find blackstrap molasses – I had an old bottle in my cupboard (though I included the wrong one in the ingredient photo), but I didn't see it at the two grocery stores I checked. It's probably available at health food stores. If you can't find blackstrap molasses, just pick whatever brand has the highest iron content.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stopping to scrape the bowl frequently.
Stir in the chopped apricots and sunflower seeds. You might want to use unsulfured apricots, if you can find them. When you're buying sunflower seeds, it's fine if they are roasted and salted, but make sure they don't have any other seasoning on them – like garlic or onion powder (you actually have to read the ingredients, as it often doesn't say on the label).
Drop dough by teaspoonfuls on to cookie sheets lined with parchment paper – it really prevents things from sticking (and makes clean-up way easier, which is my favorite part).
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. Take trays out of oven, and allow cookies to cool on parchment paper for at least five minutes.
The finished cookies are moist and chewy – they taste healthy, but in a good way. They'd probably make a great breakfast.
Do you have a go-to sweet treat during pregnancy that's healthy and tasty?

News about the health and beauty of the natural world that sustains us.
By Alison Rogers
Wildlife, threatened and endangered species
Reports of the mysterious white nose syndrome, a fungal phenomenon that has reduced certain bat populations to near extinction levels, seem to have died down of late. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean the disease is doing the same.
One species in particular has scientists worried. This fall, when the Virginia Big-Eared Bats return to their caves for their six-month hibernation, there's some concern that they won't emerge in the spring. Learn more about what the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park is doing to keep the species alive (thanks to a grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), and about white nose syndrome itself.

Okay I had an appointment at this Doctor's Office, but I called these people 24hrs before to cancel my appointment, because my wife was going to have surgery. However, several weeks later, I received a bill for a missed appointment. I called several times and the staff there were very rude almost argumentative about the bill. More or Less they told me to pound sand! I was responsible for Missing the Appointment. Now, this is the same place where I was told I had an appointment, so I'd show up and they would tell me I didn't have an appointment. However, after looking for my appointment, they some how found it. Really? I've talked to several people in the office and it's still not settled. I've even filed a BBB complaint against the Office. Why should I be victim to this office's employees when I conformed to their policy for appointments to begin with.

Management should be prepared to share accurate information about the accounts. Try to be partners with Franchise owners not just salesmen. Be realistic and honest about your Orlando market and its unique challenges due to over population of militant Hispanics and Haitians. No one should be made to feel like the outsider, whether black, white, latino, african, or whatever. But especially American born english speaking, third generation Americans who are trying to be successful business owners in their own country.

Janine then told me that I should hang in there because if I didn't I wouldn't be paid anything. I quit and told her that I would post this on this site if I wasn't paid for my time and she sent me an offer of $200 for 2 weeks work if I agreed to not say anything about the company!! I sent an email response that said that it was 2 weeks and the salary is $300 per week so I wouldn't accept the amount..... It gets better! 5 minutes later Carl Doppler calls and says he is going to have the FBI and the Police arrest me for extortion if I didn't accept the $200 offer.....gee that sounds more like extortion to me. I laughed at his fat self and told him to call the U.S. Army if he wants it won't do him any good!!!
My point here is that if this CEO will pull this crap on someone who works for them then what do you think he'll do to a customer? Maybe hire a hit man if you don't like their websites they make for you?? Steer clear of this company it is run by an overweight bully who belongs in jail himself. Of all the cheap low down ways to treat someone who just wants to be paid for their work!! So when they call wanting your business hopefully you'll check them out on here and wind up reading this.

The reigning 11-times world champion was stunned by his 21-year-old American compatriot as action got under way at Santa Cruz, which is hosting the ninth event of 10 on the ASP World Tour.
In shifting two-to-four foot waves at the iconic pointbreak of Steamer Lane, local boy Young delivered his signature backhand attack to force Slater and Kolohe Andino into surfing the second round.
"I just wanted to be able to enjoy that heat," Young said. "It was a really special heat being able to surf against Kelly Slater.
"He's been my idol since I started surfing and having him at my local spot and Kolohe (Andino), he's one of my best friends, so I was just really excited.
"The waves weren't really that great in the heat. I just got a couple of 6s and made it. I'm really happy, but I wish we could have had better waves."
Mick Fanning, currently third overall on the Tour, was also shunted into round two as Dusty Payne advanced directly into round three.
"I have such a bad seed for this year and coming up against Mick (Fanning) and Kieren (Perrow) in my first heat, it's not easy, so I'm happy to make it through that heat," Payne said.
"Those guys are two insane surfers. They've both been on tour for so long and I look up to those guys a lot. I just got lucky and got two of the best waves in that heat."
But there were no problems for ASP WCT leader Joel Parkinson, who breezed through his opening heat with the day's highest heat total of 16.83.
"This is my first time back here since I won," Parkinson said. "It's a tricky wave, but when they come they're really fun. It feels good to get that round one heat win for sure, but those guys in the red jerseys that lost today, I think you'll see most of them in round three."
Round one results:
Heat 1: Taylor Knox (USA) 12.80, Julian Wilson (AUS) 11.40, Alejo Muniz (BRA) 10.60

Heat 6: Joel Parkinson (AUS) 16.83, Damien Hobgood (USA) 11.40, Jason Collins (USA) 7.00
Heat 7: Taj Burrow (AUS) 14.46, Matt Wilkinson (AUS) 13.67, Brett Simpson (USA) 13.33

The square of a matrix A is its product with itself, AA.
(a) Show that five multiplications are sufficient to compute the square of a 2 × 2 matrix.
(b) What is wrong with the following algorithm for computing the square of an n × n matrix?
"Use a divide-and-conquer approach as in Strassen's algorithm, except that instead of getting 7 subproblems of size n/2, we now get 5 subproblems of size n/2 thanks to part (a). Using the same analysis as in Strassen's algorithm, we can conclude that the algorithm runs in time
(c) In fact, squaring matrices is no easier than matrix multiplication. Show that if n × n matrices can be squared in time O (nc), then any two n × n matrices can be multiplied in time O (nc).

Skip to comments.What is with conservative talking heads caving in on the Second Amendment? Vanity
Posted on 12/18/2012 5:56:48 AM PST by Keith Brown

Because none of these self-proclaimed Conservatives are actually Conservative. We only have a few real Conservatives in the media... Rush is the Big Kahuna.
I would saythat they are not genuine bona fide Conservatives in the first place.I would also add that "judas" should also be in their name somewhere.
They are letting emotions override logic. Humans, including "conservatives," have a difficult time coping with the fact that horrible things can happen to anyone at any time and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop it. They grasp for solutions. In some cases, it's banning guns and in other cases it's owning one.
"Conservative" talking heads?
I don't think so.
Bill O'reily is just a self engrandizing egomaniacle idiot.
These cretins hear the phrase "assault rifle" and think that means you can stroll into a Dicks Sporting Goods and purchase a full auto AK-47 as seen in the Rambo movies.
Medved? Who is this guy? Where does he broadcast? Is he offshore and trying to stay afloat?
The Dead Soul of Adam Lanza
Townhall.com ^ | December 18, 2012 | Pat Buchanan
Posted on Monday, December 17, 2012 11:21:29 PM by Kaslin
Medved is an old movie reviewer that tries to play a conservative radio show host. He used to fill in for Rush before Medved became syndicated.
I think that's correct. Although they are hardly immune from the tendency, I might still hope that as a matter of philosophical grounding, conservatives would be less likely to substitute emotion for reason.
I used to hold Medved somewhat in esteem due to his movie books, going way back to the early-80s, and would occasionally catch his radio show. But I vividly remember listening to his show one day back around 2007, during a long drive home, when he just went all-in with his pro-amnesty, pro-illegals argument.
I stopped listening to Medved then and there. Turned him off and never tuned in again.
This might come as a surprise but Medved is not a conservative he is a republican. He is often on the wrong side of the issue and he hates libertarians. As a alleged reformed leftist ( he claims) I think he still has a little left in him.
He has blasted any callers to his program that charged Barry as a socialist or marxist belittling them and defending Barry as just a misguided liberal but a nice guy.
Bill Bennett was pro-gun until Columbine. Cal Thomas also jumped on the anti-gun band wagon at that time.
Several Senators have come out as anti-gun people in the last few years.
Others who were pro-gun that jumped on the anti-gun bandwagon in the past were...
Dennis DeConcini.
Ben Nighthorse Campbell (who has changed parties and came back as a pro-gun Senator)
John Dingell was an NRA director who resigned to vote for Clinton's assault rifle ban.
This is how an assault rifle ban will pass!
Congress will be given a "crime control" bill which will contain a ban and lots of money to the States for "crime control". It will pass because that is how the 1968 gun control law was passed, AND the 1962 assault weapons ban was passed.
That should be 1992 assault weapons ban! D*mn HTML!
Mitt Romney: These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.
Did anyone see O'Reilly spewing his 'expert' opinions in regards to the "AK-15" assault rifles last night?
What an idiot.
These guys are not conservative.
They are not usually raving leftist lunatics which is better than most liberal liberals, but that does not make them advocates for the conservative point of view.
O'Rielly is a religious/political Catholic (traditional democrat; a Marxist ideal with a Catholic social order) and Medved is a Jewish man who considered "controversial" and even conservative, because rejects the Marxist atheist agenda of limo-liberal Jews in the dem party.
There. You answered your own question.
Don't cave to the leftist propaganda. They want conservatives to believe the gun control battle is lost even before the battle is begun. They hope conservatives will simply surrender. It's propaganda.
they have not caved, they are just effete elites who now feel safe to voice their personal beltway shapped opinions.
betway disease is part and parcel of the
Assault Media.

Humans love putting stuff on cats. There's stuffonmycat, there are image macros (LOLcats) with text on cats. Now, there's a new book about putting wigs on cats.
The photos in this book are equal parts cute, funny, and creepy (in that "obsessive cat lady" way), and the combination is most enjoyable. The book is well-designed for casual flipthroughs and kitteh-obsessive pageturners alike, with vivid color reproduction with which to faithfully present all those technicolor wigs. I may buy several copies for teenage, female cat-fanciers on my holiday list. Something about the brand of humor here seems particularly fitting for that age group, and I do not say that with the intent to condescend (although, hey, if the wig fits...). It's sweet, ridiculous stuff.

Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Outback than the Volvo V60. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Subaru Outback and the Volvo V60 in the front seats.
The Subaru Outback will require fewer stops at the gas station than the Volvo V60, making it more convenient to drive.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Subaru Outback is clearly a better financial choice over the Volvo V60. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. In this case, the Subaru Outback will cost less to deliver to the dealership than the Volvo V60.
The Subaru Outback is a little narrower than the Volvo V60, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Subaru Outback, which is slightly longer than the Volvo V60.
The Subaru Outback has much less torque than the Volvo V60, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Subaru Outback has a smaller turning radius than the Volvo V60, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Subaru Outback is significantly less powerful than the Volvo V60. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Subaru Outback and the Volvo V60. With its significantly greater cargo capacity, the Subaru Outback will be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volvo V60.
The basic warranty of the Subaru Outback is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Volvo V60.
