After making it big, Prince gave back to Urban Ventures. The same people that built Prince's Paisley Park came together to build a studio at our youth center.
"Prince knew that it's important to look for the abundance and potential in youth who are feeling hurt and lonely," Erickson said. "You can never know the potential of a child, like Prince, who faced adversity. Urban Ventures is there for kids like him that didn't fit in."

T.I. is doing a lot of testifying on his new album, "Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head." The Atlanta rapper counts his blessings on "Wonderful Life," expresses gratitude for his relationship with his wife on "Guns And Roses" and takes on faith on a gospel ballad interpolation of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
"Hallelujah" deeply reflects the set's "Trouble Man" theme. His first lyric references the posttraumatic stress of his incarceration from 2010 to 2011.
"Sometimes I wake up feel like I'm in Forrest City Arkansas," he rapped about his bid at the Forrest City Correctional Facility. T.I. spent 10 months in the prison after violating his parole in September 2010, six months after being released from a halfway house.
The artist born Clifford Harris said it was difficult serving back-to-back sentences. "I went to jail, stood tall, then I fell again," he rapped. "It seems like I'm Jonah and right back in that whale again."
T.I. even admitted to fears. "I felt a panic when they locked me in that cell again," he rhymed.
In addition to Jonah, T.I. compared himself to a number of biblical figures. He described rising from the bed of death like Lazarus, praying for the strength of Solomon and feeling crucified like Jesus.
Despite losing everything from riches to family, T.I. rapped that he never lost hope.
Instead of leaning on his tough-guy rap persona to prevail, he found solace in his faith and insistence to persevere, making "Hallelujah," arguably, the most lyrically potent song on the 16-track "Trouble Man" set.

In reply to:
Mi last name is De Lucio Monterrey, MEXICO
Paula De Lucio Ovalle 7/22/07
My father was from Matehuala, SLP. His name was Eugenio Lucio Galvan. I know Lucio is not De Lucio; but maybe.
His mother was Juanita Lucio. I believe she was from Monterrey. She had sisters Enedina, Ramona and a brother Hilario.
Their mother and father were Margarito Rocha and Rafaela Lucio. (I may have the names switched.)
Please respond if the names are familiar.
Thank you.

08 Jul 2012 20:19
Everything is late this season because of low temperatures and light levels. Mine are only starting to come into flower. Be a bit more patient

If they are outside it is going to be a struggle this year in my opinion -if they are in the greenhouse do not be tempted to feed or they will just keep producing leaf-as has been said be patient
08 Jul 2012 21:09
Time and patience, for this dark wet summer it is early yet - you never know, we may get a decent late summer. If so, you will be surprised how things will catch up. This is not, in spite of what you might be reading, the first dark wet summer we have ever had - and usually, given a chance, things do catch up.
08 Jul 2012 21:42
Mine are exactly the same, so we'll be racing to see who's first, yours or mine!
09 Jul 2012 07:56
As Geoff says, avoid the temptation to feed them. In fact, don't feed them at all and keep watering to an absolute minimum. Regardless of the weather, they are more likely to produce flowers - the first step to reproducing themselves - if they think they're struggling for survival.
09 Jul 2012 08:50
Ahhhhhh yes, I'm not always patient.......I'm new to tomatoe growing so wasn't sure what they were supposed to be doing and when. They are in the greenhouse so I will just watch and wait and wait and wait.........Keep me posted Insomnia 1973 Thanks all for your tips and comments, much appreciated.
09 Jul 2012 19:39
An excellent tip for the future is to not plant them out into the greenhouse until you can see the first tiny set of flowers forming - keep them in their small pots until then. If you plant them out before any flowers are forming, they can produce lots of lush greenery and delay the production of fruit. By keeping them in small pots, they think that they will soon run out of nutrients and will try to produce seeds before they die - "tough love" if you like! Don't worry if they look a bit leggy - once you can see the first flowers forming, plant them deep, up to the first set of leaves - the buried part of the stem will produce extra 'adventicious' roots.
09 Jul 2012 21:52
Thanks BobTheGardener, perhaps I was a little eager this time round to get them on their merry way ! I will definitely try your suggestions next year.
09 Jul 2012 22:38
Oh man Bob! I just repotted mine a size up today, up to their first leaves!! LOL But I'll remember for next year!
10 Jul 2012 21:05
I put mine in grow bags ages ago, no wonder they are all leaf and no flower! 'Tough Love' from now on .....
10 Jul 2012 21:51
LOL Lilly!! Think we'd better go and sit in a corner with dunces hats on! I know I need to!
13 Jul 2012 18:16
Yes, see you there Insomnia, I'll bring the biscuits !
13 Jul 2012 18:47
Ha ha ha. I'd bring the strawberries, but I can't grow them properly either!
14 Jul 2012 14:32
Heheh! We were all dunces once - when I first started growing tomatoes, I fitted a spraying system into the greenhouse and ended-up with every tomato disease it is possible to get! I wish the internet was around then - sites like this one are fantastic for fast-tracking by learning from those who have "been there, done that!"
14 Jul 2012 15:45
I got some fruit on mine early, but since the weather changed they've just sat there as tiny green marbles anyway!
Same with the early chillis. Flowers now either aren't appearing or if they do they aren't setting fruit as the temperatures are proabably just too low.
I'm not really having to water anything even in the greenhouse. I've probably watered the tomatoes & chillis in their pots once a month, if that. They just aren't drying out.
Still time for it all to change I reckon.
14 Jul 2012 16:25
It's amazing that when you think gardening is easy if you don't do it, but when you start, there's so much to learn. It's like being back at school again sometimes when I'm googling stuff!
14 Jul 2012 16:45
14 Jul 2012 17:33
When did you all sow your seeds? I sowed mine in February and put them in a heated propagator until germinated. Then brought them on on a window sill until the temp in my unheated greenhouse was constantly above seven degrees and then put them in there. I have now got plants with plenty of fruit on and have been pulling ripe ones for a week. I live in East Yorkshire and the weather has been as bad here as everywhere else.
14 Jul 2012 17:40
I think I sowed mine in late March, but will try and get them going earlier next year. Have invested in a fairly substantial heated propagator, so should be able to nurse them along in that in the GH. It feels as though this whole season's been a write off.

Clarence Seedorf has named his Milan squad for the match with Torino on Saturday, with Adel Taarabt amongst the 23.
The attacker only signed from Queens Park Rangers on Thursday, but has already been included for the match at San Siro tomorrow.
Fellow January signing Michael Essien has also been named in the squad.
Goalkeepers: Abbiati, Amelia, Gabriel.
Defenders: Abate, Bonera, Constant, De Sciglio, Mexes, Rami, Zaccardo.
Midfielders: Cristante, Emanuleson, Essien (no. 15), De Jong, Honda, Kakà, Montolivo, Muntari, Saponara, Taarabt (no. 23).
Strikers: Pazzini, Petagna, Robinho.
Some more good news for the Rossoneri also came from the announcement that the San Siro's Curva Sud won't be closed for one game after all, as the club's appeal against the decision was accepted.
Milan had seen the stand shut following alleged chants against Juventus earlier in the season. That has been reversed though.

The only thing the two servers shared were the hdd (I took it from the first server when it died, and moved it to the new one) and the power strip (it's behind three separate surge protectors). The hdd is running NetBSD 2.0... I know that this may not be the correct mailing list, but the software *is* running NetBSD and this mailing list probably contains some of the smartest computer people out there.

It is a known fact that having a loyal customer base helps an organization in several ways, such as reduction in costs and an increase in profits. It's true that a customer's average consumption increases over time, hence bringing in more sales revenue. Also, a loyal customer base enables the organisation to cost reductions through reducing sales cycles, fast-tracking order processing, and increasing customer referrals.
But, the question is, is Loyalty a type of customer behaviour?
I am of the view that loyalty is a customer behaviour which is influenced by many different factors that cannot be easily identified or captured in a single satisfaction survey. For example, loyalty can be driven by:
- The value of products vs. the customers' perception of value
- Product features and how well they match customer needs and wants
- Service aspects and how well they meet customer needs and wants
- Prices, products, or services vs. competitive positioning
- Brand image, particularly where style, safety, or security are important
- Economic factors, such as recessionary eras, that dampen spending and change buying behaviour
- Legislative factors that impact access, obtainability, or prices
Several of the above are out of your control and balancing the ones that are within your control can seem daunting and beyond your capabilities. However, you must first walk before you can run and most companies today are at a crawl-level of competency regarding customer loyalty. So, before you go rushing to discuss innovative concepts to enable your company to run the loyalty race, you have to understand that loyalty is a type of customer behaviour. You fist will need to understand what behaviours your customers have. You also should have understanding as to what behavioural patterns drive your customer base. One you have some insight into these things its then time to think as to how you are going to introduce elements in your marketing and engagement activities to ignite the loyalty feeling.
Facing tough competition in this challenging economy, you should seek to convert occasional buyers into customers in order to maintain customer spending at a standard level. Then it's a task to convert customers to loyal customers. Most businesses have already executed, or are at least thinking of executing, campaigns and initiatives which sow the seeds of loyalty. Over time this will help you to mould your customer behaviour.
Remember, the purpose is to attract, convert, and keep existing customers.

J and I both have ADD, which always makes things interesting, but can especially challenging in a new place. Not having a routine can be difficult for us: we lose time trying to figure out what to do, and being in an unfamiliar environment can make us uneasy. My goal is to outline and develop habits that will make sure we make the most of our traveling time.
This was my first trip with my bullet journal, and I used that resource to write down some ideas for best practices for the future trips we will certainly be taking.
- Splurge on tours or classes.
There's lots to be said for going on your own and getting off the beaten path, but sometimes J and I get so overwhelmed by the options that we spend more time before and during the trip thinking about what we could do than doing anything. But taking a street food tour in Saigon or a cruise in Krabi gave us the opportunity to explore without the additional worry of trying to plot our own course. Paying someone else to worry about the details lets us hyperfocus on having fun.
- Follow in the footsteps of the ones who've gone before you.
This is the free version of hiring a tour guide. J was chasing his tail coming up with the best possible itinerary for seeing the sites in Saigon. I suggested we just follow somebody else's walking-tour itinerary. We hit most of the stops, saw a lot of the city, and it only took about ten minutes of research. One word of caution, though: make sure you pay attention to the details about what to visit when…
- Prepare and maintain a master packing list.
I started writing down what I needed to remember a few weeks before we left on our last vacation, and while on vacation, I made note of anything I wished I had brought or could have left behind. This list is in my bullet journal, too. If you'd like some ideas to get started, there's a printable master packing list at ADDitude Mag.
- Plan some time alone each day.
In our daily lives at home, J and I do a lot on our own, but on vacation, we shadow each other 24 hours a day. J gets hyperstimulated and wants to talk about his impressions of everything; I get drained and overwhelmed by the newness of everything and being around him all the time. Planning solo coffee breaks or even splitting up for the morning gives us the little mental break we need to refresh and look forward to sharing our experience.
- Make sure you both have money in your wallet.
This might be the most personal tip on the list, depending on how you and your partner run your finances. J and I usually mingle our money, but when we're out or traveling, he carries the cash in his wallet. I don't like having to always ask for money; he doesn't always want to buy souvenirs or gifts. Making sure I have money in my wallet every morning will reduce some of the potential friction between us.
- Decide on how much money, if any, you're willing to give to beggars or touts.
This is another question without a clear answer. It's hard to know what's right or helpful to do to help other people, but I can't stand sitting there drinking my fancy margarita and ignoring the people trying to sell me a bookmark for a buck. Having to ask J to open up the wallet every time can complicate matters, so if we agree that I can spend US$5-10 a day on souvenirs from little old ladies, then it's one less thing that needs to be discussed at length.
- Don't count on having time to do something later.
There's been a number of times where we've procrastinated on doing something or buying something and in the end, left without doing it. Procrastination is a really big problem for anyone with ADD, so it's hard to to just say "don't procrastinate while traveling." I hope that if we have it written down as one of our best practices, we can keep it mind.
Any folks out there with ADD have more travel tips to share? I'm certainly looking to for ways to keep improving our experiences. I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

Christianity At The Crossroads, Part 1, Where To From Here

The man was insistent, pugnacious and standing on his soapbox he was not afraid to give them a piece of his mind to put it gently. Things had gotten so bad that the time for diplomatic niceties and ambiguous nuances and stale platitudes had long passed and the time had come to tell it as it is regardless of the consequences.
If they wanted to assassinate him and make him a public example to keep the wretched status quo intact, then let them; but he was not going to roll over and play dead, lord no, his conscience and calling would not let him. He was going to trumpet their misbehaving and misdeeds from every hill and mountain top, from every hamlet and village and from every shop and meeting place and fearlessly expose their dark and malign activities to the glare of public scrutiny and societal condemnation. At one point he waxed lyrical, called them by name and said, and I quote, �You are crooks, the lot of you. You take advantage of the widows who have no representation and rob them of their property. You are exceptionally corrupt and your justice can be bought by the highest bidder. You pervert justice, sell out the poor, are greedy for gain and abuse the public trust... But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream�
Another man, equally insistent, famously courageous and spellbindingly eloquent and standing on his public platform was mightily motivated and not afraid to take on the abusers, the oppressors and the justice-denying hierarchy that were inflicting the people with abundant misery. In a purple patch of powerful prose forecasting the harbinger of doom he said of the avenger, and I quote, �The mountains melt beneath him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope. All this is because of � transgression; because of the sins�Therefore I will make �[yours]� a heap of rubble, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones into the valley and lay bare her foundations. All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all her images. Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used."
So when were these statements made; this year, this decade or maybe in the last century or so? None of the above. The dates of these pronouncements were the year 762 BC (Minor Prophet Amos) and 740 BC (Minor Prophet Micah) during the time when Samaria (Northern tribes of Israel) was experiencing an age of heightened prosperity, excessive luxury and pervasive moral laxity.
When these pronouncements were made society had undergone some enormous changes and the usual high moral standards were disregarded very much like ours is today. A contemporary Bible Commentary put it very well, �By the eighth century B.C. the old agricultural system in Israel and Judah, with its fairly even distribution of wealth, was gradually replaced by a greedy, materialistic, and harsh society that split the people sharply into the �haves� and the �have-nots.� The rich land-owners got richer and the poor farmers got poorer. The latter migrated to cities, which were characterized by poverty and vice alongside the upper classes� luxury and also their cruelty to the poor. Trade with pagan nations also brought in their false religious cults and lower morals.�
I look around me and see contemporary society exhibiting a paradigm fearsomely similar to the one described and castigated by Amos and Micah. That ancient society was on the cusp of unparalleled disaster with the northern tribes via the Assyrians soon to dissipate into captivity and serfdom and the southern tribes, a little later, via the Babylonians being captured and deported to foreign lands.
It is truly remarkable how that history keeps repeating itself and the old mantra �the lessons we learn from history is that we do not learn the lessons from history� keeps popping up to remind us that there is nothing new under the sun. The same issues and concerns permeating the ancient world afore mentioned will be present even more so today and the enormous progressive strides in science and technology has not altered one whit the awfulness and suffering of a large swathe of humanity.
So what, you may ask, has brought us to this juncture, to this formidable and historic crossroad? It is my thesis that the strongest impulse in man, and the dominant trait in weak men, is rebellious destructiveness. You can almost split that into two; rebellion and destructiveness. There is a fascinating quote from the Bible that goes like this, �Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.�(Ecclesiastes 7:29) The word �inventions� in this context is a pejorative because of the contra-distinctive use of the word �but�. The passage is in fact saying that man was created upright, righteous and right-thinking but he has now gone off on his own and has become the opposite; he is now crooked, self righteous and wrong-headed.
Everywhere you look today you will see abundant evidence of this troubling phenomena; the absence of right-thinking. In the past, there were mighty issues of warped right-thinking but they were mainly held by powerful elites who through political domination and economic strangulation kept the majority in a state of hapless acceptance and often intimidatory compliance. Mighty issues of warped right-thinking would include matters like slavery, Nazism and racism to name but three. Today however, it is not just about one or two mighty issues, but a culture of warped right-thinking that exists everywhere.
There was a time when society had norms of behaviour that were generally acceptable and considered to be healthy, uplifting and valuable, but many today will subscribe passionately to anomie and all that represents. Trawl through the headlines of the recent past and you will see a witches brew of issues that give all right-thinking people cause for concern. Young girls, often underage, producing offspring willy-nilly and for absent fathers; women aborting babies on demand as a lifestyle choice; sexual perversions most gross and beastly now being taught in some schools and in many homes as acceptable alternative lifestyles; the worshipping of money and the get-as-much-as-you-can at all cost even if it means selling your soul to the devil; the slaying of parents and the aged euphemistically called euthanasia; the wanton pollution of the air, water, land and ecosystems and the pretense that no harm is being caused and the escalating crime rate along with the mushrooming prison population.
There was a time when crooks were distinguished by their rough clothing, their crude manner and their love of violence and bellicosity and apt to pull a knife or a gun to get what they want. Today the crooks are more likely to be dressed in sharp suits and ties, sit in high backed chairs, greet you with a warm handshake and on their office door will be the legend "Manager" or "Executive" or "Consultant" or some such innocuous title. Were you to stand in an adjacent corridor and shout so they could all hear, "Thief. Police help me" they would instinctively run for the exits like terrified monkeys, thinking the police is about to arrest them, and this is applicable to nearly all professions everywhere because honesty and integrity are in very short supply.
All of these things are troubling for they carry within them the seeds of a retrograde descent into a place we don't want to go. Humanity down the ages has emerged from the abyss and clothed itself with a semblance of civility, but is now poised on the brink of a new dark age and especially so spiritually. Since the arrival of Jesus Christ to usher in the age of grace we have not witnessed such powerful forces at work trying to debilitate and destroy humanity's soul and dispel its hope of reconciliation with God.
There have been some mighty blows in the past that have rocked the faith community, even although the blows were not aimed directly at them. On the other hand the faith community has suffered direct assault from all sides and were able to emerge battered but unbowed. This time the wounds are deep, pervasive and septic and truth to tell are mainly self inflicted and as a consequence we find ourselves at this crucial crossroad.
Before I deal with the contemporary situation, this crossroads dilemma, more specifically, there are some acknowledgements in order here. I am not trying in any way to accommodate the skeptics, the agnostics, the atheist, the alternate view or the many who delight on sitting on the fence or spinning in merry circles and the many who routinely and gleefully attack the religious community as if such was rooted in their DNA. If two thousand years of Christian endeavour, Christian sacrifice, gracious behaviour and building compassionate and caring communities across the world is not convincing to them then it is hard to see what can be.
As I write the last of the 33 miners trapped in the San Jose mine in Chile has been rescued and to a man they all said the same thing, "It is their faith in God that kept them strong and faithful" and they all emerged remarkably stable and sane after being buried for over two months in the belly of the earth. Never mind your skepticism to matters of faith you will have to be horrendously opaque or in a state of extraordinary willful denial not to acknowledge and give credit for something abnormal in this instance. If you see the water, feel the water, walk in the water and still deny that it is water, then that says something significant about you and puts you beyond the pale.
Crossroads of the highways, by their very nature, are stressful and particularly so if you do not know exactly where you are going. Conundrums are avoided or at least eased if the crossroads have well lit and clearly marked directions, if they are lightly trafficked and the weather conditions are favourable. However you look at it crossroads force you to make a decision, to determine a direction and thus a destiny and none more so than when the crossroad is not on some benign highway, but involves the heart and soul of a nation and the world and will affect life from here on as we experience it.
Too many people fail to appreciate the enormous contribution made to the world through religion, the faith community and especially Christianity. In spite of the skeptics survey after survey has found that the peoples of the world regard Christians as good neighbours, more compassionate, more caring, more trustworthy, more generous and supportive, and the most honest and productive in the workplace. The accomplishments of Christianity are such that without them the world would be in feral darkness with no hope of extricating itself. For good and compelling reasons the Bible refers to Christians as the light of the world and the salt of the earth since we represent and typify the Lord Jesus Christ and seek to communicate him to the entire world.
Christians have a hard-earned reputation for helping the poor, comforting the sick, visiting and assisting those in prisons, supporting widows and orphans and above all helping the children. This is the heart and soul of Christianity. Without these activities Christianity is nothing more than an abstraction, a pious conglomeration of theologies little removed from the self-serving philosophies of the classical Greek philosophers and have much in common with devils; for devils also believe and tremble (James 2: 19). It is here that the most frightful challenge exists for the heart and soul of Christianity and it�s not an exaggeration to say that if this battle is lost then humanity's doom is imminent.
Let me be clear the challenge from outside the church has always and will always be there and the church is accomplished in dealing with those threats effectively. The contemporary threats are very different and arise primarily from within the church and they are not the kind of threats like Arianism or Pelagianism that church councils can come together and resolve. No, these threats are of a different nature and magnitude and it's their endemic nature that has brought the church to the crossroads. If you can undermine the church to such an extent that people no longer trust it, that any help it offers is tainted and suspicious and it's ministers are regarded as vultures and predators, then you would have ushered in the period of darkness which I mentioned.
Enough said.

Not every atheist's conversion to Catholicism gets covered by CNN or MSNBC or The Blaze. But Leah Libresco did. Why? Well, for starters, she's responsible for what was, until quite recently, a rather popular atheist blog who is the antithesis of the caricature of Catholics, that we're irrational, misogynistic drones. Her conversion was a surprise to many, Christians and atheists alike, to say the least. More than that, her conversion story itself is utterly unique, even compared with other conversions.
Leah was gracious enough to agree to an interview, which I think gives some real insight into what the process of converting from atheism to Catholicism is like. I'd love to hear your reactions in the comments section, from Christians and atheists alike:
Q. Jen Fulwiler (another atheist-to-Catholic convert) recently pointed out that we Catholics are fond of giving atheists books on the faith. What do you think of this approach?
|Leah Libresco
I love giving people books on anything. But I think you have to gauge what engages the person and what background they're coming in with. Some books might have good data, but bad tone (for example Edward Feser's The Last Superstition has a really good introduction to Aquinas, but your atheist friend would have to have the patience of a saint to get past his snide asides at atheist writers).
And, ideally, any book exchange would be two-way. Ask your friend to share with you the books (philosophical or not) that have most informed their worldview. That way you're tailoring your pitch to what your friend actually believes, not a straw man. If both of you are sharing recommendations and asking hard questions, it will push you both into a deeper consideration of your position, and, hopefully, the harder and more honestly you question, the easier it is for the truth to win out.
Q. Are there any books that you would recommend sharing with loved ones who are atheists?
Mere Christianity, Orthodoxy, The Great Divorce, Flatland, Godel Escher Bach, The Sequences hosted at LessWrong.org
|C.S. Lewis statue (Belfast, Ireland)
Yes, only the first three are Christian books. But if you want someone to change their philosophy, start by beefing up epistemology and critical thinking. The great thing about Flatland is that it's all about learning to about abstract things in a way that's still useful. The book is about a square that lives in a 2D world and is visited by a Sphere. The Sphere is trying to explain three dimensions to him (which he can't really experience directly). So as he learns to think three-dimensionally, the reader learns how to think about four-dimensional topology.
It's a great skill to have: trying to make and test predictions about worlds or features of worlds you can't personally experience. GEB is just possibly the most beautiful book I've read, and, again, great at sparking critical thinking by working through a conceptual understanding of math, computer science, and music. And the LessWrong stuff doesn't just highlight cognitive biases (you can just go to Wikipedia for that), they spend a lot of time trying to figure out practical strategies to move past them.
All the apologetics in the world won't be of much help if your interlocutor isn't interested in thinking about metaphysics/philosophy/ethics/etc, and I think my recommendations can help people fall in love with Truth, which is totally a gateway drug to Christ.
Q. How big of a role did books play in your own conversion?
Huge. (Not that surprising, given that they play a big role in every aspect of my life). But reading was what made me quasi-fluent in Christian philosophy. I needed that kind of background to be able to think critically about what properties divided the world with no God that I thought I lived in from the Christian world my friends claimed I lived in.
Beyond philosophy, some books, especially The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce were pretty good at catching me out in my moral failings, including some I hadn't thought of as weaknesses. These books were a pretty good counterpoint to the more abstract moral philosophy I was reading.
|Leah in her atheist days (at the "Reason Rally" in May)
Q. What was the strongest argument you heard in favor of theism? What was the weakest?
The weakest is almost certainly the Pascal's Wager kind of appeal. Ideas have consequences, religious ideas especially so. If you believe in God to maximize the chance of heaven, you're being negligent to the people (yourself included) you'll harm by following false moral dictates. (Not all commandments are as relatively harmless as kosher dietary law),
The strongest is maybe Thomistic philosophy about objects not being able to sustain themselves in existence? Honestly, I don't find any pitch for generic theism that convincing because the theism people tend to pitch is generally to generic to be useful. A lot of these theisms look like God of the Gaps — just pointing to whatever you're currently confused by and saying "God did it."
Q. What was the strongest argument you heard in favor of Catholicism? What was the weakest?
|Raphael, Christ's Charge to Peter (1515)
The weakest might be: it couldn't have lasted this long and made it through all these scandals without a Divine Guarantor! This is offered semi-in jest, but is totally unconvincing. It's basically the equivalent of the stock tip scams where a con artist gets a big list of email addresses and sends messages to all of them saying he's got a preternatural ability to pick stocks. He tells half that a certain stock will rise tomorrow and the other half that it will fall. After splitting and taking both sides for several days, some fraction of marks have received only correct predictions and are likely to believe him and hand over their money, but it's just a statistical accident. The Roman empire could have made the same claim that Catholics make now, up til when they couldn't.
One of the strongest is the weight Catholicism places on Sacred Tradition and institutional structure. It's pretty clear that the sola scriptura approach doesn't yield the kind of consistency it promises (it's like the religious equivalent of constitutional originalism). So where are you supposed to go to interpret what God has given? Catholicism does a pretty good job of creating a forum for debate without getting so loosey-goosey that everyone is essentially functioning as a prophet.
Q. Do you have any other tips for Catholics dealing with friends and loved ones who are atheists, or are struggling with their faith?
I think most of that advice would be specific to the situation. Remember that everyone has access to the natural law, so you might be of the most help to your friend just helping them stick to that (and letting them help you) even if you don't exactly speak the same language about why those choices are correct. That way you've got a solid friendship and, if you like, you can talk about how you both come to your moral beliefs and try and puzzle out together how it is that you're out of step.
|Raphael, St. Paul Preaching in Athens (1515)
Q. In your interactions with Christians, what were the most productive techniques that you saw used in evangelizing for the faith? What were the least productive (or the counter-productive) techniques that you encountered?
In college, I ran into tabling Christians who had pretty much no familiarity with standard atheist objections (How are the truth claims of your sect differentiated from those of everyone else? Aren't some of your requests (pray/read the bible until you feel God's presence) tests that can never fail, even if your claims are false?). If they hadn't grappled with common objections, I didn't have a lot of confidence in their conclusions, whatever the pitch.
I was in a philosophical debating group, so the strongest pitch I saw was probably the way my Catholic friends rooted their moral, philosophical, or aesthetic arguments in their theology. We covered a huge spread of topics (R: Defeat McCain, R: All the World's a Stage, R: Eat the Apple) so I got so see a lot of long and winding paths into the consequences of belief. I know this strategy may not be available to everyone, but all the more reason to bring back debating salon culture!
Q. What's your favorite Bible verse?
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26)
I'm much worse than I should be at making love and charity my default approach to other people. I usually have to get there by hyper-intellectualizing, but I want to be freed to act out of genuine love instead of duty, however fervent.
When I used to think primarily in terms of duty, I didn't care much about other people. I saw them more as multiple choice ethics questions I could ace than as, well, people. This isn't typical of atheists or anyone else as far as I can tell, but it's what I struggle with a lot.
|Ventura Salimbeni,
St Catherine of Alexandria (1606)
Q. Who's your favorite Saint?
St. Catherine of Alexandria. Patron saint of teachers, philosophers, librarians, and haberdashers! I love that, after her conversion, the pagan emperor sent theologians and philosophers to talk her out of it, and they all kept fighting until they all yielded and converted. And I so love pugilism expressed through debate.
Q. What's the most exciting part about becoming Catholic?
The most exciting part is having access to grace through the sacraments. It's like an exception to moral entropy.
Q. What's the scariest part about becoming Catholic?
I don't understand the Church's teaching on queer relationships, and I don't believe that, even if they're right, that would be sufficient reason for civil government to deny committed same sex couples the legal protection of marriage. It's one thing for me to personally give up dating girls while I ask for explanation (and I have the luxury of being bisexual) but my queer friends feel that I'm allying myself with an institution that wants to break up their families.
Q. What more can we, as Catholics, do to help you and others in entering into the Church?
Not all of the Church's moral teachings make sense to me, and, when I ask questions, it's much preferable to have people point me towards explanations than to accuse me of distrusting the Church or trying to sneak in as a heretic. Some claims aren't really available for scrutiny (the Immaculate Conception comes to mind), but the more a moral teaching touches on quotidian life, the more I'd expect to be able to see an explanation of how the Church's stand promotes growth in Christ. When people try to quash questions or demand more fervent trust at the first sign of confusion, they're robbing their interlocutors of the chance to engage fully with the truth they're ostensibly defending.
P.S. Be sure to check out the post and comments over on Leah's side.

Nicky Hilton Sued Over Hotel Projectby Free Britney at . Comments
A Chicago development group is suing hotel heiress Nicky Hilton for breach of contract over a delayed hotel project just south of the city's downtown.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in federal court, Robert Falor Investments and Grand USA Hotel Supply & Restaurant allege that Paris Hilton's younger, hotter and less whorish sister hasn't kept up her end of the agreement.
In April 2006, Nicky allegedly promised to promote the redevelopment project known as Nicky O's Chicago, a Nicky Hilton Hotel. No word on whether the rooms would be adorned with this sexy, yet disturbing Nicky Hilton picture.
Hilton also contracted out interior design work she was supposed to perform and tried to charge it back to the developer, the suit alleges. The group also claims Hilton misrepresented that she had experience in hotel design.
Paul Fisher, Hilton's agent, also is named in the lawsuit. Elliot Mintz, a media consultant for Hilton, said neither Hilton nor Fisher had not seen the lawsuit as of late Monday night.
"Things are not always as they appear. When the facts surrounding this matter are known to the public I think you will find out that the person who has been most impacted by this [frivolous lawsuit] will be Nicky Hilton."
Or those hot nude models she hired... what will happen to them!?
The Nicky O was set to replace the Blake Hotel in Chicago's trendy Printer's Row neighborhood.
The project, along with a similar one in Miami's swanky South Beach, were to serve as Hilton's foray into the family business, though the Nicky O hotel wouldn't be affiliated with Hilton Hotels.
Nor would they employ the tagline "Show us your o-face." Sorry.
Both proposed hotels have been plagued by delays, and neither has opened yet. Perhaps Nicky is spending too much time with David Katzenberg.

1927 Moodie Road fire
Days away from the launch of a major expansion project, Free State Brewing Co. sustained damage to its East Lawrence brewing and bottling facility early Sunday.
"When I pulled around the corner at 6:30 in the morning before daylight, I just had the sense this is a really bad dream," Free State owner Chuck Magerl said Sunday afternoon from the scene.
About 6:30 a.m. Sunday, fire crews responded to reports of flames and smoke to Free State's recently renovated facility at 1927 Moodie Road. The fire was declared under control about 8 a.m., according to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical.
The department is expected to report on the cause and the damages of the fire today, officials said. The building was not occupied at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries reported.
The smell of smoke hung in the air around the building Sunday as fire crews investigated the scene.
Magerl said Sunday evening that he had not yet had a chance to walk through the building and inspect the damage.
Brewmaster Steve Bradt pointed to black smoke stains around a window at the back of the building, the area of a mechanical room that housed electrical panels and refrigeration equipment.
"That end of the building in general is where the fire seems to have gotten started," he said. "They still have to finish poking through the ashes to figure out where it started."
Bradt said the refrigeration equipment was the only equipment that was running at the time of the fire. The facility contained brewing equipment and a full supply of malted barley, wheat and hops.
Free State for months has been overhauling the 12,000-square-foot facility to expand the company's production capacity. The site, in the former A.B. Coker Building, had been renovated with everything from new floors to new plumbing and electrical work.
Free State currently produces about 2,700 barrels of beer per year at its downtown location, 636 Mass. The new site offers significant expansion potential.
"The capacity at this facility would allow us to produce more beer both in keg and in bottle form for distribution around the region, for sale at restaurants, bars and clubs, as well as into liquor stores," Magerl said.
It would enable Free State to increase capacity at least fivefold to sevenfold with the potential to go beyond that, Magerl said. It would also allow Free State to brew a greater variety of beers.
In the first months of the new facility's operations, plans were to focus on increasing production and distribution of keg beer and move into bottling by the spring, Magerl said. The brewery is anticipating distribution in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.
The company had planned to produce its first test batches this week, Magerl said.
The fire will delay those plans, and Magerl and Bradt said Sunday they didn't know how long it would take to get back on track.
"We really don't have any way of assessing at this point what the structural damage may be," Bradt said. "Until we have a handle on that, I don't want to even guess how long this will take to work our way through."
In the meantime, the company will continue to brew beer at its downtown site.
"We have a goal in mind," Bradt said. "We'll get to that goal. It's just going to take us a bit longer than we thought it would."

Madonna is back, everyone! This is a good thing. The pop music landscape needs a (stalwart other than Kylie Minogue) to whip these uppity little bitches into shape, and who better to do so than The Queen of Pop? Okay, well, who is more likely to do so? No one, really. As much as I would love for Bonnie Tyler to collaborate with Kanye and break back into the mainstream, I don't see that happening any time soon (but seriously, has no rapper sampled Total Eclipse of the Heart yet?!).

Ok…this is seriously the most bizarre thing to happen to me in recent days.
It's no big deal, but in its weirdness I have thought about it since it happened.
We stopped at a little gift store in Black Creek on the way home from Courtenay today to look for the perfect gift. I didn't find it, but that is neither here nor there.
We then went to the little general store where I proceeded to buy 8 marshmallow bananas and Bruce got a coffee.
I was merrily making my way across the parking lot, eating my banana candies…when a car pulled in the parking lot. Now I moved along seeing that the car was wanting to go right where I was walking, and Bruce went behind her.
I got to the truck and got in, casually looking over at the car that had just pulled in.
The lady in the SUV was totally staring me down. I looked away, thinking ok…maybe she thinks she knows me. I look back and she is still staring at me. Not in a good way.
I am like what the hell? I said to Bruce, what is her problem? We both look back over and she is literally snarling at us, like we had just killed her cat or something.
Did I mention that she had a Postal workers uniform on? No? Well, she did. Not that it matters either way.
She then looks at Bruce and mouths…"WHAT?"
We look at each other and are like, what the hell?
At this point he says "roll the window down…"
I am like, no fucking way is that going to happen. The absolute last thing I feel like dealing with is some crazy bitch that has made some insane confrontation up in her head.
I say to him, "Start the car dude…let's just go home…"
She is still staring at us like we are mass murderers. She has gotten out of her car, walked around the back and come back again, like she is sure we are going to play demolition derby on our way out with her car when she isn't looking.
And she watched us until we were out of sight.
Now I am not going to lie to you, I was wondering if she was going to follow us. It was absolutely the weirdest thing ever.
What is up with people that makes them act all mental like that? What was she thinking? Was she pissed because I got her marshmallow bananas?? I mean sheesh, there were lots more left. Was she mad because I walked in front of her? Made an actual effort not to hold her up and get the freak out of her way? Am I funny looking? Was it offensive of me to actually look at her for one second when she was parking???? WHAT????
I suppose that I will never find out the answer to that.
Maybe she had a bad day and I was looking pretty cute and it pissed her off. I mean hey, I did have my new makeup on, and eating marshmallow bananas is pretty cute right?
Whatever it was, I am sure it gave her something to fume about for the rest of the afternoon.
All I can hope for, is that she doesn't deliver our mail, because I am pretty sure it wouldn't end well.
Apparently she has a shitty job that makes her hate everyone around her, possibly for the rest of time, though I can't for the life of me figure out why. Most of us would love to have that job…just saying.
So to all the happy Postal workers out there, thank you for being awesome, you make up for the scary one or two of you that is out there in the world, trying to live up to actually going postal.
Happy Friday loves…

Choosing the Best Web Development Company
With a web development company procedures vary widely within the industry. It is not uncommon for a web development company for "poo poo" someone else and working techniques. Mainly because most consumers are completely uneducated in this relatively new market. But frankly, as a whole, there is really no way good or bad to build a website, regardless of any web development company can tell you. Usually it is just a matter of preference.
Some of the most debated topics in the professional web development company is the format of your website, the platform of content management, the actual layout and presentation and internet marketing techniques, mainly the optimization of search engines. Again, it is tempting to declare the correct solution for all these things, it usually comes down to choice, unless your web design company has considerable statistics to support their cause. Regardless, there are important things to consider when paying for a service website design, or working with web design companies.
Design Web Format
Now the war is between Flash and HTML. What is a good flash is that it is often surprising. Flash sites are more suitable for application web development. Flash sites can often work better than this program. HTML sites can also act as the software, but the flash seems to cool high-end animations and transitions.
HTML is generally preferred to the business or corporate web sites, web development company the most. Moreover, most of social media and financial sites are built in HTML. This type of web development allows expansion of the content. The contents of an HTML text is even better sites indexed by search engines, although there have been great strides in indexing Flash. Hybrid Flash / HTML websites are the best of both worlds. It is eye-candy to flash and the organization and functionality of HTML.
Website CMS platform
A website is like a scene that is constructed with the content. Some sites are built and are the same throughout its existence. Many other sites with content that changes frequently. These sites require some type of content management easy to use to easily update the material on the site. There are many ways to do it as a measure of php / mysql structures, Ruby on Rails and other open source content management systems.
These methods will all be coding, Java, ASP, XML, etc. is extremely controversial for a web development company to another. No one can agree who is best to follow. The key factors should be the functionality and expected growth. Basically, if your prospective web developer has built websites before, good results and has confidence they can continue to grow with your business as it evolves, how web development has been achieved is essentially irrelevant.
Web Development Site
With a little web development business, there are certain standards to gain and conclusions regarding the provision of web page design, such as positioning and setting the most important content in the upper left corner. However, successful websites in all shapes and sizes. The best way to determine the structure of your presentation is to assess your competitors. Whatever the majority of them are probably going to work well for you. However, it is a good idea, at least in the near future to meet the lowest common denominator on the monitors, resolution 1024 x 768. This area should receive the main contents.

Adding and Removing Solution Items
Solutions contain projects and the items that those projects contain. Solutions can also contain items that do not belong to a particular project: project-independent items. Two types of project-independent items exist in Visual Studio .NET: solution items and miscellaneous files. Solution items are associated with a solution and managed by the Solution Items folder in Solution Explorer. If you want to work on files outside the context of a solution or a project, create miscellaneous files that are managed by the Miscellaneous Files folder.
Files are one type of item
In Visual Studio .NET, a solution is the highest level of organization, followed by a project. A solution can contain one or more projects. A project, in turn, contains items. Many types of items are possible and the items available for a particular project vary with the type of project. Items include, but are not limited to: files, classes, datasets, forms, and reports.
Not all items are contained within a project, however; an item can be project-independent. There are two types of project-independent items in Visual Studio .NET: solution items and miscellaneous files. How project-independent items are managed depends on whether or not they are associated with a solution.
Miscellaneous files are external items; they are non-deployable, project-independent files that are never included in solution builds. Although they are solution-independent, you can configure Visual Studio to track the most recently used and closed miscellaneous files. For more information about external files, see Miscellaneous Files.
Project independent items
Solution items are internal items. They can be referenced by projects, but are never included in solution or project builds. This topic outlines the process of adding and removing items to the Solution Items folder.
Note If placed under Source Control, solution items must reside on the same logical or physical drive as the solution files (.sln and .suo) to maintain one root in the Source Code Control database.
Adding Solution Items
If you want to permanently associate an item with your solution, you can create a new one or add an existing one.
To add a new solution item
- In Solution Explorer, select the Solution node.
- On the Project menu, choose Add New Item.
- From Add New Solution Item, choose a template.
- Choose Open to add the item to the Solution Items folder.
To add an existing item to a solution
- In Solution Explorer, select the solution.
- On the Project menu, choose Add Existing Item.
- From Add New Solution Item, choose the item you want to add.
- Choose Open to add the item to the Solution Items folder.
For more information, see Add Existing Solution Item dialog box.
Removing Solution Items
You can remove an item from the Solution Items folder. Removing is not the same as permanently deleting an item. Removing takes away the item's association with the solution. The file that represents the former item still remains on disk.
To remove a solution item
- In Solution Explorer, select the item you want to remove.
- On the Edit menu, choose Remove.
- You can re-add the item as long as the file for the item still exists.
Tip To permanently delete a file from storage, use Windows Explorer.

CNG Conversion Kits- Counter Rising Fuel Price
With rapid increase in global population, the fuel requirements are consistently on a high leading to the steady depletion of the fossil fuel layers over the surface of the earth. This rampant use of the natural resources is not only leading to a gradual depletion but at the same time it is nothing but moving a step ahead towards extinction to the conventional resources. With immense demand of fuel, and increasing political violence in the Middle East, the place that accounts for over eighty percent of the global oil production, the prizes of the petroleum products has been reaching sky limits.
This rising price of petrol, diesel and petro products is proving to be a major headache for many people, especially the ones who have to operate with a relatively smaller budget. Furthermore, the problems relating to gradual extinction of the natural resources is also haunting the environmentalists. An effective way of combating both these problems simultaneously is by using cng which we better known as compressed natural gas.
CNG is comparatively much cheaper compared to the petro products and therefore it is much affordable for most people. To add to its tally of benefits, being gaseous fuel, increasing use of natural gas is going to reduce the pressure on the petroleum fuels which in turn is going to help significantly in saving the natural resources. Not only that, natural gas does not cause much pollution and therefore it is understandable that using it over petroleum products is also going to be beneficial in controlling the growing pollution and thereby maintain a steady eco balance.

ReelAbilities: SIX POINTS ABOUT EMMAPlaying as part of the 3rd Annual ReelAbilities: Greater DC Disabilities Film Festival (Feb 6-13) Dir. Roberto Perez Toledo (90min, Spain, 2012). In Spanish with English Subtitles Narrative "An unassuming, engaging take on the determined struggle of a blind woman to become a mother, 'Six Points About Emma' is equally convincing as drama and as an exploration of the emotional consequences of sightlessness." –VarietyEmma is a magnetic, attractive, almost thirty-year old blind woman. Determined to have a baby, she sets out on a search for a man to get her pregnant. Two apparently ideal candidates appear in Emma's life: Germán, a psychologist she knows from a therapy group she attends, and her young neighbor, Diego. Emma's objective seems easy enough to achieve, but our heroine soon falls into the trap of her own devising and discovers that blindness comes in many forms. Gail Snider, Information and Referral Specialist at Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind, in conversation following the screening.

Fascinating Rhythms
- Artist: Corliss Dale
- Genre: Jazz
- Release Date: 5/23/2006
Corliss Dale is the singer and Lou Forestieri is the pianist/arranger/producer. True they are bonded in marriage-and a damn good one it is, but from the very start of this venture you are forced into thinking-no; hoping-they would weave their way into that golden oldie "walk right in, sit right down, daddy let your mind roll on" because that's exactly the feeling you get the moment you start listening to this scintillating collaboration. Backed by a small but masterful group of musicians, Lou doesn't just support this gifted singer. He embraces her. And it's a good thing too, because this is not a voice you hear every day. Those who only know Corliss outside of her musical world would doubtless speak of a gentle and retiring personality, but on stage you are both confounded and immediately engaged by her presence. Name the mood and she will take you there. Sometimes smoky, sultry and impudent - sometimes playfully indulgent and kittenish, Corliss can do it all. Even when being nostalgic, such as in "Without a Song", when the group is jauntily swinging, what is she doing? - leisurely taking you there; peeling back the years; placing you smack dab in the moment of truth. When you listen to Lou's sure-to-be-a-standard, original composition "Jazz",lyric by Aubrey Tadman, (brilliantly performed by Lou and company), tell me you're not convinced of this woman's prowess as a singer; then, as a capper, slide over to "What a Little Moonlight Can Do", then let me rest my case with "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me". There is great skill in this recording...'Fascinating Rhythms'. Hang with Corliss Dale for awhile and let her soulful, soothing vocals 'Fascinate' you. Enjoy! James McEachin Writer/Actor.

Cool heads helped maintain calm in Northern Ireland during the culmination of this year's marching season, the justice minister said.
Police, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers and senior politicians in the devolved power-sharing administration at Stormont have lauded the peaceful outcome of Twelfth of July celebrations, which followed united unionist appeals for no trouble and nationalist efforts to defuse tensions.
Thousands of loyal order members commemorated the victory of Protestant King William of Orange over Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 but there was virtually no confrontation and the flashpoint Ardoyne parade in North Belfast ended without violence.
Justice Minister David Ford said: "The professionalism shown by PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) officers has delivered a day of peaceful parades right across Northern Ireland and I congratulate all involved.
"Many people across the community worked to ensure the day passed peacefully and I welcome those efforts. This year we have shown how cool heads and careful words helped to keep the situation calm and I would hope that approach continues so we can work towards resolution of all contentious parades."
Members of the Orange Order staged a peaceful protest in north Belfast after restrictions were imposed on their parade.
Bands played music, supporters cheered and sang and demonstrators carried a large protest banner as they were halted a short distance from the nationalist Ardoyne residential area. Some supporters held Union flag umbrellas against the rain.
The sectarian interface in north Belfast has been a flashpoint for violence in recent years, but this time appeals for no trouble were issued by a wide coalition of unionist leaders, including First Minister Peter Robinson, as well as nationalists.
Ms Villiers said: "The Orange Order and unionist leaders are to be commended for the intensive work they have done to bring that about. Nationalist leaders also played their part in working hard to defuse local tensions.
The chief constable and the PSNI displayed great professionalism throughout in keeping people safe and secure. They have my sincere thanks for all that they do. As ever we are indebted to them.
"It is important that we build on this, by continuing to work for locally agreed solutions to contentious parades. This Government will continue to do all we can to encourage a way forward."
Chief constable George Hamilton said he was pleased that the parades had passed off largely successfully.
The Parades Commission, a government-appointed body that adjudicates on marches and has become anathema to loyalists, decided loyal order members should not be allowed to continue past the contested section of Ardoyne.
Last year a similar decision sparked days of loyalist rioting and pitched battles with police, while in earlier years republicans became violent after a small number of Orangemen were allowed to proceed.
At the 17 main parades across Northern Ireland, marchers stopped for six minutes - the time it would take to complete the Ardoyne parade - and a statement was read out calling for the commission to be scrapped.
A major security operation had been put in place after last year's violence, when dozens of officers were injured and deployed water cannon and baton rounds to quell rioters.
This year marshals from the Orange Order formed a cordon between loyalists and bandsmen, and police lines enforcing the Parades Commission-ordered halt.
There was a large security presence in the area, with more than 40 armoured police vehicles, two water cannons and more than 1,000 officers deployed, many wearing protective body armour.
With the bill for policing parades and flag disputes in Northern Ireland over the last 20 months standing at around £55 million, there was a significant effort to avoid further trouble this year.
Almost 700 people were charged or reported to prosecutors in Northern Ireland last year in relation to parade and protest-related disorder.
This year has been relatively peaceful, although one man was stabbed on the Ormeau Bridge during fighting between rival Catholic and Protestant gangs of around 40 people in south Belfast early yesterday.
The PSNI said the victim, 28, was taken to hospital but his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
There were minor scuffles near Belfast city centre after an Orange Order feeder parade passed St Patrick's Catholic church in Donegall Street.
Missiles were thrown from loyalist lines at police and mass-goers in St Patrick's were trapped for a short period outside the church as loyalist marching bands filed past, most playing a single drum beat after complaints about provocation in previous years.
The PSNI is investigating claims that a loyalist band broke a determination from the Parades Commission that barred music being played as the parade passed the church.

Disconnecting from Technology for the Sake of Childhood
I am just back after five days camping on the beach at Spencer Spit on Lopez Island with the family. There is something magical about spending the day (let alone five days) at the beach. We camped with eight other families from our girl's school. There were twenty-three children altogether. They played all sorts of games, with minimal interference from the parents.
There were no televisions, no radios, no computers, no video games, no motorized toys and no time to think about any of those distractions. It was so refreshing to see children having so much fun with driftwood, stones, shells, sand, water and most importantly, each other.
It was a week of bliss — for the children and their parents.
When was the last time you disconnected from the busyness of modern life and [re]connected with your children?

"small body of water," Old English pol "small body of water; deep, still place in a river," from West Germanic *pol- (cf. Old Frisian and Middle Low German pol, Dutch poel, Old High German pfuol, German Pfuhl). As a short form of swimming pool it is recorded from 1901. Pool party is from 1965.
game similar to billiards, 1848, originally (1690s) a card game played for collective stakes (a "pool"), from French poule "stakes, booty, plunder," literally "hen," from Old French poille "hen, young fowl" (see foal (n.)).
Perhaps the original notion is from jeu de la poule, supposedly a game in which people threw things at a chicken and the player who hit it, won it, which speaks volumes about life in the Middle Ages. The notion behind the word, then, is "playing for money." The connection of "hen" and "stakes" is also present in Spanish polla and Walloon paie.
Meaning "collective stakes" in betting first recorded 1869; sense of "common reservoir of resources" is from 1917. Meaning "group of persons who share duties or skills" is from 1928. From 1933 as short for football pool in wagering. Pool shark is from 1898. The phrase dirty pool "underhanded or unsportsmanlike conduct," especially in politics (1951), seems to belong here now, but the phrase dirty pool of politics, with an image of pool (n.1) is recorded from 1871 and was in use early 20c.

A collection of blood in any region of the body due to dilation and retardation of the circulation in capillaries and veins.

a pond, or reservoir, for holding water (Heb. berekhah; modern Arabic, birket), an artificial cistern or tank. Mention is made of the pool of Gibeon (2 Sam. 2:13); the pool of Hebron (4:12); the upper pool at Jerusalem (2 Kings 18:17; 20:20); the pool of Samaria (1 Kings 22:38); the king's pool (Neh. 2:14); the pool of Siloah (Neh. 3:15; Eccles. 2:6); the fishpools of Heshbon (Cant. 7:4); the "lower pool," and the "old pool" (Isa. 22:9,11). The "pool of Bethesda" (John 5:2,4, 7) and the "pool of Siloam" (John 9:7, 11) are also mentioned. Isaiah (35:7) says, "The parched ground shall become a pool." This is rendered in the Revised Version "glowing sand," etc. (marg., "the mirage," etc.). The Arabs call the mirage "serab," plainly the same as the Hebrew word _sarab_, here rendered "parched ground." "The mirage shall become a pool", i.e., the mock-lake of the burning desert shall become a real lake, "the pledge of refreshment and joy." The "pools" spoken of in Isa. 14:23 are the marshes caused by the ruin of the canals of the Euphrates in the neighbourhood of Babylon.

Almost nobody is talking that ip laws shouldn't exist at all. However, I think that they need to be considerably changed in most areas (usage, copying, compensation mechanism, so on). They should be more clear too. You also can't deny the fact that so called "piracy" (or free sharing) allowed to spread some small or even big authors (music bands, writers, soft developers so on) on new markets. You say that it can "destroy the market" but it is not that simple (you probably never lived in those countries so you can't say what really "destroyed" that market or even you can't say if that market had ever existed normally (poor countries doesn't have financial potential to buy digital content for the same money as western countries. All other products like food are relatively cheaper and adapt people abilities to buy. That is not true for digital content most of times)). Piracy becomes a blame for all problems despite the fact that it wasn't the main reason for poor sales. Because of this it is not that simple to estimate damage from the piracy and it should be clear when somebody is sued for this (anti piracy organizations usually calculate loss blindly).
