Padre’s Salt – 2/18/10

Religious or not—we all make them. Hundreds per day. Some small, others more weighty, but we make them. Some we agonize over, others we do without thinking much at all. Some we spend too much time and energy on—others should have taken a lot more consideration beforehand … they’re our CHOICES. They are really what everyone’s lives are all about. Choices — the good, the bad, and … The Loras community began the season of Lent this past Ash Wednesday, and our common theme this year is “CHOICES”.

Each week we’ll take a few moments to look at different aspects of our choices: what goes into our choices, and their ramifications—the good, the bad, and … Please give yourself the gift of a little quiet time in these forty days to reflect and celebrate the good choices you have made. Choose to continue in everything that produces virtue in your life. But also, ask for the courage to examine the not-so-good choices you make, who you make them with, and why you make them. Lent is our annual time to go within and wrestle with all that gets in the way of becoming the best version of ourselves. CHOICES — next to our very life, probably the most powerful gift of all!  Have a great season of Lent!

    I wonder what kind of protection you have for this “publication.” I can Cut and Paste and change anything I want and send it on to others as though it came from myduhawk.com, and I was just quoting. This publication is not in a pdf, is it? Then, I could not change the content, right?

    As it is now, I could have “Padre's Pepper.”

    Just asking.

    Donna,
    Every website on the internet allows for copying and pasting of its content. I could essentially go to the New York Times or any other major news publication, and use their articles, but I don't.

    This content is in fact in pdf format. If you click on our virtual newspaper link to the right of this page you can view it in pdf format in a number of ways.

    All of our newspapers are archived in this manner.

    The internet is an open source platform that allows user from all over the world access to billions of websites. It would be impossible to secure our content. At this point we trust that our site will be regarded as a quality source of news to those who go to our site.

    Thank you for your concerns.

    Good to know, but I know I have documents that I created about Raymond Roseliep that are in pdf format, and even I cannot change them.

    I am aware of what you say, and I am glad to know you have your LORIAN news archived.

    Thank you.
    Donna Buaerly

    One more request. Please be more specific about the area that says the document is in pdf format. I have looked to the right of the main page as well as the opened article. I cannot find that pdf link.

    Thank you. As you can tell, I am very interested in the fact that the LORIAN is archived.

    Donna Bauerly (spelled correctly this time!)

    I would never plagiarize either.

    Our virtual newspaper link is in pdf format. It is just in a fancy viewer to make it easily accessible. From that screen you can go full screen with the newspaper which will allow you to either print the document or save it to your computer, along with all of the archived copies of the Lorian. Hope this helps.

    If you have any other questions feel free to email me at daniel.randolph@loras.edu.

    And where is that pdf link on the page? Either in original e-mail posting or within any article?
    That was my question.

    Thanks.
    Donna Bauerly

    First, do you have flash installed on your computer? If not type in install adobe flash.
    Second, Click on “Read Your Virtual Newspaper”
    Third, a window with the paper “virtually” displayed will pop up.
    Fourth, hover your mouse over the paper and click “view in fullscreen”
    Fifth, this will give you a bar at the top of your screen with options. You can print it from this menu.

    To save the pdf is a little more complicated, we didn't want the average person being able to do this.

    If you would like more instructions please email me at daniel.randolph@loras.edu
