Social networks (like Facebook and Twitter) are web communities where consumers share content and engage with friends, neighbors and colleagues. [Factoid: There are over 800 million people on Facebook with over two million in Houston alone]. Content includes family photos, videos, stories and more.

Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from a demon’s point of view, will return to Houston at the Wortham Theater Center, 550 Prairie Street, for three performances only, Friday, August 12 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, August 13 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. In January of 2010, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS played to six sold-out audiences at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. The Houston engagement is part of the 2011 national tour that kicked off after THE SCREWTAPE LETTER’S hit nine month run at the Westside Theatre in New York where it played 309 performances! Prior to that, it was a sold out hit in Chicago and Washington D.C. Now in its eighth month, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS’ 2011 National Tour has played to capacity audiences in numerous cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego and Dallas. Associated Press calls the production “Devilishly funny!” The Chicago Sun-Times hails THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS as “Smart, sizzling entertainment!” and Christianity Today describes it as “A profound experience!” THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS creates a topsy turvy morally inverted universe set in an eerily stylish office in hell, where God is called the “Enemy” and the devil is referred to as “Our Father below.” The play follows His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape, Satan’s top psychiatrist, played by award winning actor Max McLean, and his creature-demon secretary Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on the fine art of seducing an unsuspecting human “patient” down the “soft, gentle path to hell.” Along with The Chronicles of Narnia (including The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), The Great Divorce and Mere Christianity, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is still one of Lewis’ most popular and influential works. The book's piercing insight into human nature and the lucid and humorous way Lewis makes his readers squirm in self recognition made it an immediate success. When first published in 1942 it brought worldwide fame to this little-known Oxford don including the cover of Time Magazine. Lewis dedicated it to his close friend J. R. R. Tolkien who had expressed to Lewis that delving too deeply into the craft of evil would have consequences. Lewis admitted as much when he wrote “Though I had never written anything more easily, I never wrote with less enjoyment . . . though it was easy to twist one’s mind into the diabolical attitude, it was not fun, or not for long. The work into which I had to project myself while I spoke through Screwtape was all dust, grit, thirst, and itch. Every trace of beauty, freshness, and geniality had to be excluded.” Produced by New York City based Fellowship for the Performing Arts. Max McLean serves as Artistic Director. Executive Producer and General Manager is Ken Denison of Aruba Productions. Scenic Design is by Cameron Anderson, Costumes by Michael Bevins, Lighting Design by Jesse Klug, and Original Music and Sound Design by John Gromada. The performance schedule for THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is Friday, August 12 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, August 13 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets range from $29 - $59. For groups of 10 or more call 866.476.8707. Student group rates and a limited number of premium seats are available. Venue facility fees and ticket service charges will be applied to all purchases.

That man is Dave Brown, played by two-time Academy Award® nominee Woody Harrelson. Though the film is set in the 1990s, when scandal rocked the LAPD’s Rampart division, the film hones in on a single fictional cop: Dave Brown, a man who has taken the “no guts, no glory” American mythos to heart, without questioning what it is doing to him and those he holds dear. He is a cop whose personal life is propelled into a dizzying downward spiral when he comes under suspicion for roughing up a suspect. More than just a police officer who plays things fast and loose, Brown exposes the inner workings of a certain type of personality everyone recognizes around them, a personality very much part of American culture, yet not often examined. He is the kind of man inexorably drawn to authority and power, yet seems destined to abuse it; a man who has dreams of being a great masculine hero, yet is beholden to women; who has undeniable charm, yet whose stubborn refusal to take responsibility for his actions becomes a destructive force against family, community and ultimately himself.http://www.gethoustonevents.com/rampart-the-movie-houston-tx-1727738.htmlhttp://www.gethoustonevents.com/ebook-event-houston-tx-1731580.htmlIf you are feeling especially generous, please list the event below on your Facebook page.

Care2Spin™ is a unique marathon where individuals can engage in any activity that spins to raise money for Easter Seals Greater Houston and their partners. On September 17, thousands of Houstonians will gather to engage in “spin” initiatives—be it riding their bikes through their neighborhood, cycling on a stationary bike at the local gym, test driving a Honda at John Eagle Honda, skateboarding, mowing lawns, riding a golf cart, spinning laundry in the washing machine, local bakers spinning their mixers, DJ’s spinning records, the options are endless. According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in six U.S. children are diagnosed with a developmental disability. Care2Spin™ is an opportunity for Houstonians to help the clients of Easter Seals Greater Houston participate in new and creative therapies and technology-based programs that will ultimately change the lives of over 5,500 Houstonians with special needs, and the families served, each year. Easter Seals Greater Houston's programs focus on helping ensure children with all types of disabilities have a chance to live full, independent and productive lives.
