The Hollywood haters sometimes get it all wrong, like they did with that whole Miley Cyrus-Vanity Fair photo shoot business. They turned what was clearly a public service campaign for regular melanoma screenings into something much, much more unseemly.Now they're picking on Britney Spears for her recently disclosed $61 million in annual expenses during 2007.I know what you're thinking, because it'
A narcissistic, libidinous entertainer with snake hips, hair like a crow's nest and a self-absorption bordering on the comical.
If Russell Brand imagined he'd have to delve deep into his own psyche for his latest role, it was an expedition that must have taken all of five minutes.
With the release today of his first big Hollywood movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Russell Brand plumbs the depths

Challies is giving away some of the Reformed Commentary Series. These commentaries as you may have discerning from the title, are consistent with the Reformed creeds and confessions. They are biblical (committed to comprehensive exposition of the text), doctrinal (committed to the Westminster Standards), redemptive-historical (committed to a Christ-centered view of the Old Testament), and practical (committed to applying the text to people today). Individual volumes are endorsed by a wide variety of Reformed pastors and theologians.
I have been checking out a few other blogs as well as the Layman and so forth. My name appears every now and then as a supposed example of everything that is wrong in our denomination. I have been taken out of context, misrepresented, and slandered. In these blogs and letters to editors, people have been urged to contact denominational officials to do something about me--the heretic. But I don't take it personally. Because it isn't about me. There is a power struggle in this denomination. Some clergy want to leave the denomination and take the presbytery's property with them. Others want control over the denomination. There are two tactics. The first is to encourage sessions to withhold funds in order to dry up the presbyteries, general assembly and staff. The second tactic attempts to paint the denominational leaders as apostate. Here is how that works:Rather than charge me with doing something wrong, which they certainly could do...Rather than actually meet
This from Antoinette Konz at The Courier-Journal:Students and teachers at two of Jefferson County's most troubled middle schools will find themselves at the heart of a major transformation when they return to class next week.More than two-thirds of the teachers at Southern Leadership Academy and Iroquois Middle School will be new. Class sizes will drop by at least 10 students. New computers will be in nearly every classroom.And the site-based decision-making councils will be disbanded, with the principals answering directly to Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Sheldon Berman.The changes -- made in response to a scathing state audit that found the schools plagued by rapid teacher turnover, poor instruction, weak oversight, inconsistent reforms and disruptive classrooms -- will cost the district nearly $1.7 million, officials say.But in the hallways of the two schools, where failure has been commonplace for several years, the focus is not on cost, but on hopes of a better f
It seems like jail did Paris Hilton a LOT of good.
She vowed to Barbara Walters during her jail time that she wanted to do good in the world, and Paris is ONE GIRL who sticks to her word. I mean…she's partying on beaches now and not in clubs.
Along with the news of Paris dating [...]
Paris Hilton partied at a Hollywood club on Saturday (07Jul07) - the first time the reality TV star has enjoyed herself at a nightspot since her release from jail last month (Jun07). Hilton, who served 23 days of a 45 day sentence after being found guilty of violating her probation from a 2006 drink-driving arrest, was accompanied by her sister Nicky at Los Angeles club Les Deux. One onlooker tells website People.com, "Paris was super happy and full of smiles. She was laughing, having fun, drinking, dancing, singing along to songs, talking to everyone and hugging all the girls at her table". After her release from jail, Hilton vowed to put her wild partying days behind her. She said, "I've been doing it for a long time. It's fun... But that's not what I care about as much anymore. Obviously I'll still go out sometimes. I'm young and I like to be social, but I'm going to focus more on my work".
I wrote this on one of my mommyboards in response to a thread about what kind of cereal our kids eat, which drew the typical responses of how they only ate whole-grain, sugar-free sticks and twigs with milk. I realize lately we have been encouraged to post about what a *good* mom we are, and [...]
A common conversation I have with a gentleman at my church is how much we wish we could have sat in on The Inklings and have a conversation with these brilliant and creative men of God. Since I was in highschool I have wanted to see Christians take a more active role in many aspects of art. I told my friend how I wished there was a group like the Inklings still around."Why don't you form one yourself." uhhhh, because it'd take effort? Ok, so I have no real excuse. So I am looking for anyone interested in forming a group like the Inklings though I am open to anyone in the artistic community from publishing, visual arts, literature, dance... whatever to get together and actively discuss the Christians role in art or share anything that they are working on. If you take art seriously and aren't afraid to give and take criticism and encouragement when either are necessary then I'd like to have you aboard. Even if you don't live in the Philadelphia area, thankfully e-mail makes i

I was listening to the latest episode of The Infidel Guy Podcast and the interview was with the author of “The Non-existence of God”, the author mentioned Reformed Epistomology and I was curious. Epistomology had been familiar to me, but the idea of it’s reformation is a new concept.
I was wondering if anyone had some background on Reformed Epistomology. From what I understand it uses the reasoning that says there is something inate about the nature of God that humans can detect. Much like we can know something without reasoning it to be true there is a possibility of knowing that God exists without having to reason to prove it. The basic belief structure operates such as our memory, where we can believe a memory to be true without having to reason through it it because the memory exists and is enough to justify a belief.
Can anyone fill in the gaps for me about Reformed Epistomology?
